These three problems are indeed the primary problems that must be solved before us. Any occurrence of any problem may lead to very serious consequences, even irreparable consequences.
Of course, the most important thing is how to maximize the use of these human resources. First of all, we must eliminate those who have problems and those who have no fighting ability, such as the old, weak, sick, and disabled. But this problem is not
That's easy to solve. These days, the purpose of being a soldier and fighting is just to make a living and survive. In the years of war and chaos, it is not easy to survive. If there is another way out, no one is willing to be a soldier and fight. However, since
The world is in chaos, and ordinary people cannot escape. If these excluded people are not comforted well, it will definitely affect the reputation of the Shenwu Army, and may even affect the steps of the future unification cause.
Just when the three of them were having a headache about this problem, the guards from outside came to report, saying that there were secret envoys from the Sanhekou headquarters and the Shazhou Island headquarters.
Kang Long looked troubled and said: "Send them to come in."
After a moment, two well-dressed strong men came in respectfully. After kneeling down, they took out two letters written in special characters from their close-fitting cotton coats and handed them to Cao Bin. Kanglong motioned for them to get up, and the two looked at each other.
Some stood aside in excitement, not knowing what was going on, and they had such expressions.
Cao Bin presented the letter directly to Kang Long, who took it, opened it and read it. After reading the letter, Kang Long laughed loudly, "If you are really sleepy, someone will give you a pillow! Okay, okay! Guo Congzhi and Zhu Yuanlang
Both guys are really good!"
Cao Bin and Tie Zhengrong were confused, but they did not interrupt Kang Long's interest. Only after Kang Long stopped laughing, Cao Bin asked strangely: "What on earth is the matter that makes the lord so happy?"
Kang Long handed him the letter and said with a smile: "Why didn't I see it that day? These two boys actually have such shrewd business minds. If I had known earlier, I would have let them run the business. I would have lost that batch of red goods."
At the headquarters, it was left in vain for half a year."
Cao Bin took the letter and saw that the contents were all written in the Shenwu Army's top secret text. Ordinary people could not read it at all. Only the core personnel of the Shenwu Army could read the text, so he read it carefully. Read
After hearing this, Cao Bin also looked overjoyed.
"My lord is so blessed, so if you can get help from talented people like Cong Zhi and Yuen Long, why worry about big things happening? Haha! It's really great. With their money, the problems at hand can indeed be easily solved!"
It turned out that the two secret letters were sent almost at the same time, but they said the same thing.
After studying seriously with Shan Yi in Sanhekou, after accidentally learning arithmetic and arithmetic some time ago, because he was assisting Shan Yi in managing internal affairs, he was troubled by the current excessive military expenditures and was a little unable to make ends meet, so he made some mistakes.
A batch of Shenwu Army's internal government reserves were used to purchase some mountain goods from the north. Then, using the waterway, a battalion of Mad Wolf special forces who were about to go south to Shazhou Island was transported to the Wuyue area and sold. Before and after.
Within ten days, the profit reached nearly fifty times!
This was just the beginning. As a result, he purchased a large amount of raw silk, tea, bamboo charcoal, pig iron and other unsalable goods in the South at low prices in the Wuyue area, secretly transported them back to the north, and sold them in Tokyo in the Great Zhou Dynasty. He also made huge profits. This
A huge profit, almost eighty times the original price.
Even the passers-by did not expect that there would be such a big price difference. After such a deal, the passers-by became very excited and sent more than a hundred Berserker Special Forces soldiers to sneak into various places to investigate prices, checkpoints, road sentries, etc.
After spending more than ten days to find out the special products and prices in various places, I was pleasantly surprised. After discussing with Shan Yi, I withdrew the items from the internal treasury and specially collected them from the special operations camps of the Shenwu Army.
A group of special warriors were selected, formed the Shenwu Army Shenwu Merchant Group, and began to do business across the country.
Before this process, Zhu Yuanlang, who was on Shazhou Island, started to investigate the price differences between the north and the south even earlier than the passers-by, and also formed the Blood Wolf Merchant Group. After the two were ventilated, they merged into one place and temporarily
The merchant group of the Shenwu Army was raised and established. The one at Sanhekou in the north was called the Northern Shenwu Merchant Group, and the one stationed on Shazhou Island was the Southern Shenwu Merchant Group. The two offices specialized in purchasing goods from the north and the south, and then the powerful Blood Wolf Team and
Escort by the Mad Wolf Team.
In just one month, the Shenwu Army's internal treasury income reached an astonishing figure, more than five hundred thousand taels of silver. This is real money.
Counting the money taken from the Tengjiao Gang and the gold brought to Sanhekou from Luoyang, Kyoto, and the expenses incurred over the past year, the total internal treasury of the Shenwu Army now exceeds two million taels of silver.
The two secret envoys came to report this time because they wanted to ask Kang Long's opinion to see whether this method of both military and business affairs should be continued and to ask him for an idea.
"Of course we have to continue!" Kang Long slapped the table and said with a laugh, "However, this way of doing business needs to be changed. On the surface, we are officials and soldiers, competing for profits with the people.
It will be beneficial to the future development of our Shenwu Army. Guohua, you are going to write a reply later to tell Shan Yi and Cun Ba that you want them to select a group of brothers with flexible minds and agile hands and feet from the Mad Wolf Army and the Blood Wolf Army.
Specially set up business groups, Sanhekou's name was changed to Guo's Chamber of Commerce, and Nanshazhou Island's was renamed to Zhu's Chamber of Commerce. Don't act under the banner of the Shenwu Army, but there are two battalions of soldiers and horses to protect merchants when going to sea and on land.
If I write this, I believe they will understand my intention. In addition, I will add a note and ask them to deliver 500,000 taels of silver within twenty days."
Cao Bin also smiled and said: "My lord, you have thought carefully. This is a great good!"
Cao Bin said and began to write on the desk. Kang Long and Tie Zhengrong watched him write. After finishing writing, Cao Bin handed it to Kang Long. Kang Long looked at it and nodded repeatedly.
Put it in an envelope and seal it with wax. Then he picked up the brush that Cao Bin used just now, marked the other letters on the table, sealed them with wax, and handed them to the two emissaries respectively, saying: "Five
It must be delivered to Mr. Shan and General Li within a few days."
The two emissaries were all elite, loyal and brave people originally selected from the Wild Wolf Special Forces. Seeing their lord's serious face, they knew that the matter was important and did not stay. After bowing directly, they quickly turned around and left, disappearing into the vast night.
among.
A moment later, the sudden sound of horse hooves sounded at the entrance of the camp and disappeared in the distance.
Kang Long saw Tie Zhengrong and Cao Bin looking at him with doubts at the same time, and explained with a smile: "This new military training method was actually secreted in Sanhekou and Shazhou Island a few months ago.
It was carried out, but the outside world didn't know about it. The two letters asked Shan Yi and Li Cunba to select a group of already trained soldiers and officers with training experience, and ask them to come here as soon as possible to train these people.
As for the 500,000 taels of silver I asked you to write just now, it is also for this group of people. There are too many uncertain factors for these 430,000 people, and we cannot absorb them all. But if we want to identify who is sincerely loyal,
Who is pretending to get closer? It’s difficult. Instead of doing this, it’s better to give it a try. Zhengrong, you go to Wanma City tomorrow to find Ben Lei and let him think of a way to see if he can borrow fifty dollars from Wanma City first.
Of course, you don't need to borrow all the money, but you can borrow 450,000 taels of silver in cash and 50,000 taels of silver, and send four battalions of soldiers and horses and forty grain chariots to escort them over.
It must be under the guise of transporting food, so as not to be remembered by interested people."
Tie Zhengrong and Cao Bin's eyes lit up and they were greatly impressed. Tie Zhengrong even nodded in agreement.
Cao Bin also guessed Kang Long's plan and couldn't help but admire his lord's handiwork even more. This fight was indeed very dangerous, but if it succeeded, the reputation of the Shenwu Army in the Central Plains and the North and South would be invisibly improved in the future.
It has reached an unprecedented height. Even if it loses, it is only a matter of five hundred thousand taels of silver. Calculated based on the current profit of Guan Ke and Zhu Yuanlang, it is only a month's surplus.
After the three discussed some specific matters, seeing that it was already late at night, the two resigned and went back to rest. Kang Long also sat cross-legged on the thick cotton blanket and began to meditate and practice Wuji Gong.
On the second day, Kang Long did not mention how to recruit this group of people, but continued to order the Shenwu Army's cook camp to continue to provide meals for 430,000 people according to the daily diet standards of the Shenwu Army. These people were many
He is from a mud-legged background. As long as he has something to eat, he doesn't have to work for a big account, and he doesn't have to look for other things. He can live and eat for free.
But the thirteen generals and more than a hundred mid-level officers began to think about Kang Long's attitude. They gathered together to discuss, but they didn't have the slightest clue. They wanted to ask Kang Long, but they heard
Kang Long's bodyguards said that Lord Kang was practicing in seclusion, practicing martial arts to challenge the realm of the Patriarch, and could not be disturbed, so everyone gave up and dispersed.
The second day passed like this. Although everyone felt unsure, they had no other choice. They had eaten food, drank wine, and sworn a blood oath. They couldn't just leave. So they had to wait.
It was only on the morning of the third day that the horns for the morning training of the Shenwu Army were blown. Shortly after the morning training of the Shenwu Army, the sound of rolling carriages and horses was heard at the entrance of the camp, and the drums of the generals were sounded.
Thirteen generals and more than a hundred mid-level officers were shocked. They got up quickly and didn't bother to wash up. They directly put on their clothes and armor and hurried to Kang Long's Chinese army tent. This was a point general.
Drum beats have a time limit, usually eighteen drum beats. If you fail to reach the beat within the drum beat, it will be regarded as disobeying the military order. The officers of the Shenwu Army told them yesterday. Of course they don't want to give Kang Long the title of lord.
Leave a bad impression. Nowadays, it is difficult to find a good master.
