Chapter 78: : All bait, the one who wishes to take the bait

   Zhang Shi met Jiang Gan in a small building. The first impression Jiang Gan gave him was that he was a martial artist, that is to say... with full spirit.

   "Han Bu has its own smelting technology?" Jiang Gan also wears a corset. The difference from Han Bu is that his style is more fancy. He looked at Zhang Shi, who was sitting on his knees, and said, "Is there a secret method for drying salt?"

The environment of   Xiaozhu is very quiet, with green bamboos and flowing water. The layout should have been arranged by a master, but I don’t know why it became a place for outing.

   Zhang Shi didn't want to answer at all. He just asked that kind of thing. It is conceivable that he would talk about what will happen next. He has the urge to stand up and leave.

   What the Hu people want is to grab. Ran Min's shogunate is mostly Jin people, but don't expect how civilized he can be. What you want is just a word of "grab".

   Jiang Gan saw Zhang Shi not say a word, "ha ha" laughed a few times: "What does the head of the Han tribe want to get?"

Zhang Shi finally turned his attention to Jiang Qian and said: "My Patriarch hopes to have a backer in the court..." He frowned slightly and sighed: "The general asked about smelting and drying salt when he came. I think it will not be a good backer."

   Jiang Gan didn’t get angry either. He said, “Have you heard that everyone is innocent and guilty?”

Zhang Shi nodded: "Since my Patriarch took out the goods to trade, he didn't want to hide the secret method of smelting and drying salt." Seeing a smile on Jiang Gan's face, he laughed, and then said, "It's just a dedication. For whom, not a dedication?"

  The method of drying salt may be useful, but the smelting technology is a bit tasteless for most people. The smelting technology is available to the imperial court. The method that officials want to smelt is very simple, but with the smelting method, there must be craftsmen and a fixed source of ore.

For many people, craftsmen are not difficult to obtain or cultivate. The difficulty is a fixed source of ore, which is not something that a single family can control at all. In many cases, which family intends to control a mineral vein, it is not a matter of extinction. Far.

   What Ran Min really wants is the complete reliance of the Han, and let the productivity of the Han become his productivity. That is to say, Liu Yan is dispensable, but the ore channels and the craftsmen will be in his hands.

   Know how powerful the Han Dynasty produces weapons and salt? As long as there is a visit, it is not difficult to know, after all, Liu Yan never thought of concealing it from the beginning. Ran Min will not be the first force to reach out, nor will it be the last.

   Want to sell goods in exchange for the resources you need, but also want to keep it secret? What is the logic? Xiao Da Xiao Nao couldn't satisfy Liu Yan's appetite, that's why he didn't intend to hide it from the beginning. Furthermore, there will be some forces that are tempted, but that is exactly what he hopes to happen, so as to get in touch with those tempting forces and get what he needs.

   Jiang Gan was silent when Zhang Shi said that.

   Yes, Han Bu can be offered, but to whom is it not offered?

   "What does the head of the Han Dynasty want?" Jiang Gan asked again.

"The price on my Patriarch is, 200 war knives or war swords in exchange for the post of Changguang County." Zhang Shi paused, took a sip of his drink, and said: "You can offer a thousand catties of salt every season. Seek to have something to do in the DPRK, you can have a helping backer."

   Jiang Gan frowned: "Where are the weapons?"

   "In addition to table salt, weapons are not included in the offering." Zhang Shi said very seriously: "Except for a thousand catties of table salt, it is an offering. If you want more, you can only trade."

   Jiang Gan narrowed his eyes to look at Zhang Shi, slightly unkind: "In other words, the Han Ministry does not intend to take refuge in Xiu Chenghou?"

"Refuge?" Xiu Chenghou dare to accept my patron's refuge?" Zhang Shi said with a trace of absurdity: "You have inquired about us, so I must know a little bit. Qingzhou is just one of the properties of my Patriarch. Do you think that my Patriarch is all the power in Qingzhou?"

   can be understood as saying that Liu Yan is not from Houzhao's side at all, but has his own tribe somewhere. As for where the tribe is, guess it!

   No one would really think that Liu Yan's strength was just that. You must know that Liu Yan has already produced at least 1,200 troops that can be called elite.

  The reason why the elite is elite is that it is not a force that can be trained casually. Able to come up with 1,200 elites, even if they are all Liu Yan's elites, there should be 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers behind them. In this way, there can be 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers, how can the size of the tribe be 100,000 or so?

  According to the speculation of the people in Ran Min's shogunate, Liu Yan's path is definitely not as simple as that. It can't be Saibei. It should be in the area of ​​Liaodong. Liu Yan shouldn't be a real name either.

   Is there any power in Liaodong? Quite a lot. The strongest is Murong Xianbei, followed by small tribes or countries such as Duan Xianbei, Goguryeo, and Fuyu.

Because Liu Yan has just entered the field of vision of various family forces, it is impossible to collect too detailed information in a short period of time, so he can only rely on limited information plus enough imagination to work hard to reduce it. In a small range, confirm it at the end.

  Do you know what conclusions Ran Min's think tanks finally came to? They thought that Liu Yan would not be the sand mixed with Xianbei or the Jin country. After excluding those powerful countries with no motives, they strangely concluded that Liu Yan was from Goguryeo!

   is really based on facts! Goguryeo accepted quite a lot of Jin’s fugitives, and then Goguryeo was culturally highly Sinicized. Ran Min’s think tanks also showed "proof" that Liu Yan’s army style is similar to the Jin army, but tougher than the Jin army. It's not just a little bit, Liu Yan's army uniforms and armor styles are completely "Han Army" style, and it just so happens that Goguryeo also maintains the "Han Army" style.

   Of course, knowing that doesn’t mean you have to say it. Jiang Gan showed that he wanted to annex the Han Dynasty for his own use, but it was another test. Seeing that Zhang Shi was so calm, he was basically more determined that the Han Dynasty was the "chess" on Goguryeo's side.

"...Yes, the court fought with Murong Xianbei two years ago~www.wuxiamtl.com~ and won it." Jiang Gan himself brought the topic of the war against Xianbei, and said with a smile: "Xianbei Going south was drunk and turned to Bingfeng. It seems to be...turning his eyes to Fuyu, Lou Yi, and Yiqian..." He stared at Zhang Shi, deliberately dragging the ending sound, and then said, "Of course there is also Goguryeo. "

   Zhang Shi's heart was a thousand turns, frowned appropriately, and then he lifted his wine and squatted. His series of actions seemed to be to cover up something, and he really wanted to cover up, but it was really not so clear where the object of his allegiance came from.

   "If you want Xiuchenghou to contribute, one thousand catties of salt per season is too little." Jiang Qian thought he had succeeded in his strategy, and offered: "One thousand catties a month, and twenty war swords."

   "More..." Zhang Shi's tone was not so firm: "Two thousand catties per quarter, weapons...20 weapons."

"No! Just the number mentioned below. In addition, you also need to keep some of the weapons produced for your own use, and sell the rest to Xiuchenghou. Except for Qingzhou..." Jiang Gan calmed your expressions: " The salt in other places was also resold by Xiuchenghou."

   "Rong Jin." Zhang Shi said with difficulty: "If Xiu Chenghou can persuade the Yao family, the Li family, the Lu family, the Du family, the Xu family, the Yin family... we naturally have no opinion."

   Jiang Gan immediately turned his face: "What do you mean!?"

   "My Patriarch did not deliberately conceal it, not only Xiu Chenghou knows about my lord." Zhang Shi smiled bitterly and said, "Since Xiu Chenghou is here, presumably... other families won't give up, right?"

Jiang Gan's expression turned into an extremely bad expression in an instant, and he thought: "It's indeed...it's a big problem~www.wuxiamtl.com~Book friends are welcome to visit and read.
