She never expected that the people's livelihood in Lulong County was in decline, and Gongsun Yan, who had contributed a lot to her family, didn't know how to respond.
Although it is common for wealthy families to plunder the population in this era, in Gongsun Yan's personal values, such plundering of the government is really not something to be proud of.
Now that Aduna has been defeated, all the strength at hand has been lost, and he has been eliminated in troubled times.
Gongsun Yan didn't know what kind of condition he was in now. With only Zhao Yun's arrow and the current medical level, he was lucky to be alive, but he was doomed to suffer day and night.
Without Aduna's hungry wolf to deter him, Lulong County would most likely be targeted by other tribes that have long coveted it.
However, the county's political affairs were in ruins and its people were in trouble, and its military equipment was lax.
If you want to rectify it quickly, you need the strong support of local powerful people to re-establish the defense system as soon as possible before the barbarians go south.
And Guzhu Manor is a local hegemon, with a large number of armed troops, hundreds of craftsmen, and the armor, grain and fodder in Guzhu's treasury to support it.
It is enough to quickly establish a foothold in Lulong County and establish an effective line of defense to resist invading enemies.
But……
"Grandpa, this is unfair." Gongsun Yan shook his head, "Lulong County has declined to this point, and we still need to work hard to manage it. This cannot be called compensation."
On the contrary, they contribute money, people and strength to Liaoxi.
"Young Master Ayan, don't be impatient." Gongsun Jing raised his hand to stop Gongsun Yan from complaining, "Since I have ordered Captain Zhao to be the magistrate of Lulong County and reorganize the frontier fortresses, I will not let you leave empty-handed, so I will allocate funds."
Your three months' worth of grain is enough for two hundred servants."
"I heard that you exchanged many workers with Ada in Xiangguan?" Gongsun Jing mentioned the exchange between Zhao Yun and Gongsunda in Xiangguan.
"As soon as you need it, the master will allocate two hundred households including gold and silver households and salt households to you, okay?"
It has to be said that Gongsun Jing is indeed very sophisticated, and he can touch Gongsun Yan's pulse with a letter from Zuo Ping.
"I still remember that there was an abandoned horse farm in Bogui?" Sensing Gongsun Yan's wavering, Gongsun Jing added weight again, "A few years ago, some Hulu tribes outside the Great Wall joined, and there were also Wuhuan slaves trafficked from outside the Great Wall.
It can also be divided among you."
"These people are particularly good at raising livestock and raising horses. With these herdsmen on the horse farm, I think the white horses that come to Bogui will be able to gallop in the north again."
When Gongsun Jing mentioned Baima Yicong, Gongsun Yan glanced at Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun now only has more than 200 cavalry on hand, and he often has to dismount to act as a guard.
After the Battle of Yangqiuli, war horses without horseshoes stepped on their swords and lost their weapons. A large number of horses in the army were injured by their hoofs.
Although the Wuhuan people's war horses were captured and replenished, the hoofs of the horses were worn out, so replenishing the horses was ultimately a big problem.
If you ask her why she didn't take out the horseshoes when the horseshoes were worn out, and the high-bridge saddle and double-sided stirrups that could change the war?
The answer is no!
The three-piece cavalry suit is recognized as something that can change the war pattern of an era.
These three things are not difficult to imitate, and you can pierce the window paper and understand the principles at a glance.
Now she can take it, but she can't protect it.
Even if the more than 200 cavalrymen in hand are equipped with saddles, they will not have any effect on the overall battle situation.
However, if these things were learned in advance by the northern minorities at this time, a catastrophe from north to south would await the Han people.
The ravages of the nomadic tribes will be centuries earlier.
The thing she holds in her hand is like a double-edged sword that cannot be used casually.
If it was because of her that Wuhu Luanhua was brought forward, she couldn't afford such a cause and effect.
If you have your own horse farm, you may be able to fill one or two of the horse shortages.
"But we have herders, but we don't have good seeds." Gongsun Yan looked at Gongsun Jing expectantly, eager to ask for more gifts.
In the process of bargaining with Gongsun Jing, she unknowingly walked to Gongsun Jing's desk.
"Master, you see, it's all in vain if you have a horse farm or a herdsman but no good breeds! Aduna has been doing horse business with his family for many years. We must have good breeds. Why don't you give me a thousand horses to use as seeds?"
After hearing her quotation, Gongsun Jing was stunned and almost laughed angrily. A thousand pieces of seeds? How dare you open your mouth?
Seeing that Gongsun Jing didn't answer, Gongsun Yan consciously lowered the price: "What about 950?"
Gongsun Jing still didn't answer, don't ignore her at first
Gongsun Yan walked around to him again: "I lost a little, 900?"
Got no response.
"Okay, I'll give in a little more to make up a lucky number, 880." She generously dropped another twenty.
"Grandpa, don't ignore me. If it's too high, you can make a counter-offer!"
"grandfather!"
Gongsun Jing discovered another characteristic of his granddaughter. He had never seen such a shameless little lady.
"Grandpa~~"
Being harassed and haggled by her like a merchant, Gongsun Jing said in annoyance: "500. No more!"
"Okay! Deal!"
Gongsun Yan readily agreed, leaving Gongsun Jing stunned.
"The number of males and females must be matched according to the ratio!" Gongsun Yan smiled sweetly at him.
It has to be said that being good-looking still has advantages. At this time, Gongsun Yan lost his previous sharpness, his big and clear eyes narrowed and he smiled. Gongsun Jing, despite his previous dissatisfaction, also relaxed a little.
He paused and said, "Captain Zhao."
Zhao Yun was a little surprised to be called out suddenly, but he immediately got up from the table and saluted Gongsun Jing, "Here you are!"
Gongsun Jing looked at the tall Zhao Yun again.
There was some hesitation.
Generally speaking, when appointing generals with foreign surnames, some control methods must be adopted, such as arranging a family member to serve as the supervisor of the army.
Under the current situation, the most suitable method is the method commonly used by large families, marriage.
The natural choice was the granddaughter standing next to him.
At this moment, the corners of his granddaughter's lips were raised unconsciously, and her big watery eyes were staring at her.
However, Gongsun Jing broke this convention and did not intend to mention this matter.
From the current point of view, this granddaughter is clear-headed and capable of advancing and retreating. With a little training, she can be used by the family.
It's just that she doesn't trust the family at this time. Instead, she trusts the Captain Zhao wholeheartedly and wants to put all her chips on this tall young man.
But how do young girls know that men are fickle creatures.
Beauty ages quickly, love and loyalty will change with time and status, and it is most elusive and unbelievable.
How can a real man really be willing to be appointed by a woman who is lying beneath him?
A native woman always hopes that she will have only one husband, but as her status increases, no man with a warm and fragrant soft jade can resist her.
He didn't mention marriage at this time, firstly because Ayan still had to observe filial piety, and secondly, because he wanted to let this innocent little girl get into trouble first.
Only in this way will she know how important the support of her family behind her is to a woman.
If justice is done for her then, she will learn to bow her head obediently.
"Grandpa?" Gongsun Yan didn't understand why Gongsun Jing didn't say anything after calling Zhao Yun.
Gongsun Jing sighed, and after hearing her call her grandpa, he felt a little soft-hearted after all.
"Three years ago, I got a colt. It was a rare good horse! Now that it is old enough to go on the battlefield, I gave it to Captain Zhao, hoping that Captain Zhao could take it and make great achievements.
Battlefield." I also hope you won't let her down too much.
Hearing this, Zhao Yun was stunned and was about to refuse, but Gongsun Yan had already accepted it for him: "Thank you, grandpa!"
Don't be arrogant, accept it quickly!
Gongsun Yan winked at Zhao Yun, he knew there was a good horse that even the head of the Gongsun family could fancy, it would have to be the kind of horse that sells for six figures on the trading machine.
Although Zhao Yun's current white horse is not bad either, there are too many luxury cars.
Seeing Gongsun Yan winking at him from a distance, Zhao Yun was amused. Didn't Lady Gongsun think about the intention behind the family master's gift of the horse?
After lowering his eyes and hesitating for a moment, Zhao Yun solemnly agreed.
Watching Zhao Yun go back and sit down, Gongsun Jing turned his attention to Gongsun Yan again, "Are you satisfied with this?"
Gongsun Yan thought, after all, he had decided on Lu Long. It would be a bit annoying to ask for anything anymore. There would be plenty of time in the future, so he nodded.
"Okay! Then I will ask the prefect's office to seal the form and formally issue the appointment document?"
"Can!"
"Treasury matter?"
"What treasury?" Gongsun Yan tilted his head and asked.
"Okay!" Gongsun Jing laughed. This granddaughter really knows what's interesting.
