"Sir, this saber and armor cost a lot of money. We don't need to make so many of them, right?" Xi Zhicai felt dizzy after hearing this, and explained doubtfully: "The iron armor is too heavy, and ordinary people can't continue fighting after wearing it.
It would be better to change it to leather armor. Not only sabers, spears, and crossbows must also be made. Calculated in this way, the equipment on each soldier is worth fifteen or six thousand yuan. The millions copied from the Zhang Mansion
The money is only enough for us to recruit three to four hundred people. Sir, you are following the standards of a military commander, there is no need at all!"
"Where is this? Without high-quality weapons and armor, how can we build an elite army? My principle is that more elites are more valuable than more, so you can do as I say. If it weren't for insufficient money, I would still want to equip each of them.
A war horse!" Zhu Hansan rolled his eyes and muttered while imagining his elite troops.
"Alas, sir, you have misunderstood me! A good saber weighs at least ten kilograms. Adding armor and other equipment, each soldier is fighting with fifty or sixty kilograms on his back. This pair
The physical requirements for soldiers are too high. Even if you recruit enough soldiers, they will become a burden when you go to the battlefield in the future. It will be difficult for the soldiers to continue fighting, and even just marching can be very tiring!"
Xi Zhicai found it difficult to understand Zhu Hansan's thoughts and explained.
"Is that so?" Only then did Zhu Hansan understand what Xi Zhicai meant. This kind of configuration is no different from a 'special forces', and Zhu Hansan also wanted to train such soldiers, so he smiled and said: "Zhicai, your
Thinking about it, I agree very much. Even without the equipment of crossbows and crossbows, the weight of each soldier must be upwards of thirty kilograms. However, our number of soldiers is limited, how can we measure it according to common sense? For a unit of only three hundred people, of course it must be
Elite soldiers, I want my soldiers to be tigers when mounted, wild bears when dismounted, dragons when thrown into the river, and sharp archers when picking up bows and crossbows. So when you recruit soldiers, you must carefully check and only keep your body.
Those who are physically strong or have outstanding martial arts skills.”
"I understand! When you return, you will definitely recruit three hundred soldiers." Xi Zhicai was slightly stunned, and he understood Zhu Hansan's intention. He planned to use these three hundred people as seeds. If in the future
If there is a chance to expand the army, these three hundred people will be the mainstay of the army.
"It's good if you understand!" Zhu Hansan suddenly thought of something and said: "There is another thing I almost forgot. You choose a good place outside the city, build a manor, and let people spread the news. As long as the literati passing by
Both elegant and impudent heroes can go to the manor to have a full meal and drink fine wine for free! If you are short on money, you can also give some money as a gift. The name of the manor, um... is called Juxian
Zhuang! If there are talents willing to stay, then we will recruit them!"
"Seconds, it's really wonderful. Your Majesty's move will definitely attract many outstanding people! But this free food costs a lot! It's difficult for us to maintain our heritage for a long time!" Xi Zhicai's face lit up after hearing this.
But he thought about it and pointed out the disadvantages.
"Money is something external to the body. If you lose it, you can make it again. But if you miss out on a talented person, you will regret it for the rest of your life! Zhicai, haven't you heard of the story of buying a horse's bone for a thousand pieces of gold?" Zhu Hansan said with a nonchalant smile.
"I understand! Zhang Feng happens to have a manor near Kanshan Pavilion outside the city. We can decorate it a little and use it as Juxian Manor!" A glint flashed in Xi Zhicai's eyes. Zhu Hansan's move made him wonder.
It seems that he is ambitious. Logically speaking, he is so angry.

Vigor and vision should not appear in a county magistrate. How many things can be done in a county? Why are you looking for so many talents? Are you just showing off? Obviously not, then Zhu Hansan must have big plans behind him. This is a show
Zhicai liked what he saw.
"Remember! As long as the talent who goes to Juxian Village has a certain skill, you have to try to win over him. Even if he can only climb over the wall and steal, it is still a skill, right? Maybe he will be able to use it sometime!"
Zhu Hansan has no sectarian views. In his opinion, as long as you have talent, even if you are just a little loser, I will dare to use you.
“I will definitely keep it in my heart!”
Xi Zhicai was greatly shocked and bowed to accept the order.
After explaining what happened in the yamen, Zhu Hansan took Zhang Liao and several guards on the road to Xindu.
"Sir, shall we go directly north?"
Zhang Liao, who had just driven his carriage out of the county town, suddenly thought of Guo Daxian who had gone to Taishan and asked.
"What are you thinking? Going straight north is asking for death! Detour to Julu County, go along the Zhangshui River, and take a look at the ecology of Julu Ze. Maybe you will have to fish from there next year!"
Zhu Hansan hit Zhang Liao on the back of the head, laughed and scolded: "Your Majesty, I want to live a few more years!"
"Understood!"
Zhang Liao was not angry either. This may be Zhu Hansan's unique way of communicating with him. Sometimes he would feel complacent when he was beaten, because it was an intimate act by Zhu Hansan that he treated him as one of his own.
Juluze is not far from Jingxian County. In just a few days, Zhu Hansan and others saw the appearance of the largest lake in Hebei. Because it was winter, a thin layer of ice formed on the lake.
"This lake is quite big. I guess the annual output is quite high!"
Zhu Hansan stood by the lake wearing a fur coat, holding his hands behind his back and exclaimed: "The giant deer sits on such a treasured land, the people here should be very wealthy!"
"Sir, there is an old man fishing over there!"
Zhang Liao walked up to him and pointed at an old man not far away.
"Haha! The lake is frozen now. Although winter fish are fat, they are hard to catch! Interesting, interesting!"
When Zhu Hansan heard the sound, he looked over and saw the old man standing a hundred feet away from him, with a strong man standing next to him. He immediately became curious and chuckled: "Since we have met, it is fate! Let's go and have a look!"
"He who comes is stopped!"
When Zhu Hansan walked more than ten steps away from the angler, the strong man suddenly shouted in a low voice.
The strong man was tall and powerful, and just a pair of tiger eyes made Zhu Hansan's whole body sweat, as if he was being watched by a ferocious beast.
Even Zhang Liao became nervous. Holding the handle of the knife tightly, he came to Zhu Hansan and whispered in his ear: "Sir, this man is definitely a master!"
"Oh? Wen Yuan thinks, how does it compare?" Zhu Hansan asked curiously.
"Not even close!"
Zhang Liao said in a deep voice.
"Um!"
Zhang Liao was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and his body had not yet fully grown. Because he had been practicing martial arts for many years, his figure was much stronger than that of ordinary young people. Therefore, Zhu Hansan often forgot his age. At this time, he heard that the arrogant Zhang Liao actually
Opening his mouth to admit that he was not as strong as that strong man, Zhu Hansan became even more curious. Even when facing Pei Yuanshao, Zhang Liao did not show such an expression.
"I'm Zhu Hansan. I saw someone here when I was passing by.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
I'm fishing in the cold winter, and I'm curious, so I came here to pay a visit! If there is any disturbance, please don't blame me!"
The angler had his back to them, and it was difficult for Zhu Hansan to guess the age of the man. The man was stooped and must be quite old. There was an Eight Immortals table beside him, a pot of sake on the table, and only two chairs, one
The angler was left sitting with an empty hand, as if waiting for someone to arrive. For a moment, Zhu Hansan became more curious about the identity of the angler, and then he held his hand and smiled.
"We are all guests here!" The fisherman didn't even look at Zhu Hansan and the others. He just stared at the ice, "Guan Hai! Let the guests sit down!"
"please!"
The strong man named Guan Hai pointed at the empty chair and said in a low voice.
"Your Excellency seems to be waiting for someone, so I won't bother you so as not to disturb your enjoyment!"
As soon as he heard Guan Hai's name, Zhu Hansan secretly thought, "I'm going to suffer!" This famous yellow turban boss made Liu Bei famous in Qingzhou. How could he not know that when Zhu Hansan met Guan Hai, the commander-in-chief of Qingzhou Canal, he
Standing respectfully behind the old man, he guessed the old man's identity after a moment's thought, and hurriedly said goodbye.
"hehe!"
The angler slowly turned around and looked at Zhu Hansan, and said with a half-smile: "Since you have guessed that I am waiting for someone here, why don't you guess who I am waiting for?"
"I have never met your Excellency, and we have no reason to meet each other. How can I talk nonsense about the old gentleman?"
This old man was about fifty years old, which was considered an advanced age in this era. Especially the pair of eyes that seemed turbid but made Zhu Hansan fond of him, made him conclude that this person was by no means an ordinary person, and he complained endlessly.
At the same time, he quickly returned his hand.
"Sit down! As I said just now, everyone who comes is a guest. Since you are a guest, I am waiting for you!"
The old man put down his fishing rod and stood up to invite him.
"Ashamed, ashamed, for disturbing the old gentleman's enjoyment!"
Cold sweat fell from Zhu Hansan's forehead, and he stepped forward and sat down. The old man's eyes really made people feel like they were being seen through. Although he was frightened, he felt a good impression of the old man's attitude. That charitable smile actually made Zhu Hansan
There was a feeling of spring breeze, as if the cold winter was not that cold anymore. This strange feeling made Zhu Hansan conclude that the person in front of him was really not comparable to him.
"How about you try this glass of wine, little friend?"
The old man asked Guan Hai to pour Zhu Hansan a glass of wine and then smiled.
"How dare I say no to this gift from my elders! Thank you, old sir!"
Zhu Hansan quickly picked up the wine bottle, first thanked the old man, and then raised his head and drank it in one gulp.
After drinking the strong wine, it was burning inside and outside his heart. When he was still full of thoughts, Zhu Hansan suddenly widened his eyes and looked at the old man in disbelief. There was no other reason than that this wine was the new product he brewed in Jingxian County.
"It seems that my little friend is also of the same mind. How about this drink?"
The old man picked up the wine bottle and took a sip, then asked with a smile.
"I don't know why, but I just feel like I've seen him before!"
This wine has only been out for a few days and has not been sold to the outside world, but this wine is right in front of him. Zhu Hansan is extremely angry at the moment, and he is also afraid and worried. He is annoyed that his family has recruited a white-eyed wolf again, and he is angry that the other party actually brought this wine.
When I beat him, I was afraid of other people's methods, and I was worried about how many people around me had such double-minded intentions.
