Luo Fang said very firmly; "General Qin, this commander understands your difficulties, but at the same time, should you also understand this commander's difficulties? Master Supervisor left the commander with nearly 200,000 troops. If the riding equipment is too poor , So many military brigades are equivalent to abolishing half of them."
Of course Qin Meng understood the truth in this, so he would not hesitate to take out the flesh of the five hundred mo sword hands in exchange.
According to Qin Meng's psychological expectations, he didn't expect to get everything Luo Fang asked for.
Qin Meng was mentally prepared for asking prices all over the sky and paying back the money by sitting on the ground.
But now it seems that Luo Fang is not the one who is easy to give. The warhorse, cutting down a thousand, is a good bargaining. However, only one thousand high-quality riders are given, which shows that Luo Fang attaches great importance to the quality of riders.
On the surface, Qin Meng was short of horses, but he was still a qualified rider.
Regardless of the age, even if the technology has developed to the point of super artificial intelligence, high-quality talents are the most indispensable cornerstone of building an organization.
"Luo Shuai, the final general also understands your difficulties. In this way, three hundred Mo Swordsmen, plus some equipment, for you three thousand horses, plus one thousand high-quality riders, is this all right?" Qin Meng calculated. Reduced the number of Modaomen.
Luo Fang looked at Qin Meng, gritting his teeth and calculating the gains and losses of the transaction.
For a long while. Luo Fang said: "General Qin, to be honest, if it were not for the supervising army, this commander would not trade with you. Okay, Mo Dao Shou, three hundred to three hundred, but, in terms of equipment, You have to provide it according to the commander's request. Lianbow, five hundred sets, thunderbolt, three thousand rounds, and three hundred war knives."
Qin Meng thought for a long time and agreed to Luo Fang's trading plan.
Originally, a transaction like Qin Meng and Luo Fang could be regarded as a win-win situation.
But what both sides took out was the flesh of their hearts. No one felt pain, so the two of them felt uncomfortable after the transaction was completed.
Qin Meng returned to Wuwei, and in accordance with the transaction promise, sent out the Mo Dao Shou and his equipment, and obtained 3,000 war horses and 1,000 high-quality riders from Luo Fang.
At this time, Wuwei's border trade officially entered its peak period. Li Ying himself was a little too busy to work. He asked Qin Meng twice to ask Guan Xiang to help him.
But Guan Xiang could not be extracted at all. Qin Meng told Li Ying that what he was doing was not just a military task, but a major matter related to the overall strategic structure of the country.
Anything, anyone, encounters this matter, only unconditionally give way.
Qin Meng always thought that as long as he had power, money, and held the two things, there would be nothing wrong with the world.
However, Qin Meng discovered that this matter was not that simple when he really started to form a powerful flying cavalry force in the northern border of the Great Sui Dynasty.
War horses seem to be difficult to solve, but it is not a problem to make up enough.
The point is, high-quality cavalry, this can't be piled up with money.
After a trip to Luo Fang, he only got one thousand. Adding his original one thousand, only two thousand, and the number of ten thousand, but the difference is a full eight thousand.
After thinking for a long time, Qin Meng took Dou Luyuan out and asked him to go to his father Dou Luji to exchange some high-quality riders.
Qin Meng understood that no one is a kind and helpful person. If he wants a high-quality rider, then the requirements of the horse must be lowered.
Two hundred swordsmen, plus some equipment, exchange two thousand cavalry!
Qin Meng was willing to take the risk, two big deals, everything he worked so hard, almost overnight!
I have been busy for more than a month. When Yang Guang came back from the capital, he brought the news to Qin Meng that the war horse and the young man's supervisor helped coordinate and satisfy 8,000 horses, but there was no guarantee for high-quality riders.
Who would hand over excellent talents easily? Raise a big cock and sell it, but who sells a hen who can lay eggs
Qin Meng and Yang Guang calculated with their fingers. After more than a month, the number of horses was close to the expected number. The number of riders that could meet the requirements was nearly 6,000, which was too far from the goal!
After thinking about it, Qin Meng offered the ultimate magic weapon, and the audition was eliminated!
First recruit young men who meet the age and accept them according to the specific circumstances!
But to achieve the goal, there are only two words, spend money!
The Wuwei border trade tax withheld 80% of the tax, and the list was issued to the surrounding counties in the name of the government.
Recruiting quality riders!
age requirement. A young man between eighteen and twenty-five years old!
Those who meet the conditions will be immediately incorporated into the independent flying cavalry team in the northern border of the Great Sui Dynasty once they have passed the trial! Salary, twenty taels of silver per year, special benefits for the three major festivals of the year, meals and meat, two sets of winter and summer clothes each year, and their family members are exempt from corvee!
If you don’t meet the conditions, those who are interested in joining the flying team can participate in the training camp organized by the flying team and meet the standard through training.
During the training period, you can enjoy a subsidy of two dollars a month, as well as the same food and clothing treatment as Feiqi.
At the end of the training, those who meet the conditions can be incorporated into flying knights. Those who do not meet the conditions will be given one or two silvers at a time for encouragement. Their families will be exempted from three-year corvee!
It is conceivable that such a very confusing bulletin will be posted to the people of the surrounding counties and counties. As soon as the frying pan was done, Wuwei swarmed.
Qin Meng and Yang Guang originally planned to draw out the officers under his command to interview young people, but there were too many people there. Everyone wanted to go to the interview, and they were afraid of being robbed of the opportunity by others. Therefore, he stayed at the interview site all night .
No way, Qin Meng could only transfer some more veterans and increase the number of interview points, only to ease the situation a bit.
The result of the interview was similar to Qin Meng's expectation. Among a hundred people who could truly meet the conditions for riding and shooting, there was still no one to pick.
Most of them are selected. All need to be trained to see if they can stay.
After ten days, the audition was a little unsustainable.
Fifteen thousand candidates have been selected, and there are still an endless stream of people rushing here.
In desperation, Qin Meng had to mobilize the army and block Wuwei. Those who came to trade and trade could enter, and those who rushed to Wuwei empty-handed, no matter whether you came to participate in the sea election or not, all were not allowed to enter.
As for queuing up to participate in the audition, those who did not participate, one person gave 20 copper coins, threatened and scared away.
The army is a gold swallowing beast, and the elite soldiers, especially the cultivation of invincible army, is a bottomless pit that costs money!
Cavalry training, let alone novices, are some veterans who are good at riding. When riding at high speed, there are instances of falling horses and even death.
With so many people training, not to mention the normal consumption of materials, but the injuries reported every day. It is enough to make people headache.
But Qin Meng had no choice. If he wanted to train qualified riders, he had to train like this.
Those who are injured will be sent home to recuperate according to the treatment of the wounded on the battlefield. In addition to the treatment of injuries and illnesses, they can also be exempted from the family's corvee.
If there is an unfortunate death, the family members shall be given compensation and exemption from corvee according to the standards of death in battle.
The audition training lasted for a month. In addition to eliminating more than 3,000 people, Qin Meng and Yang Guang were a bit silly for calculating the money spent. The 80% of the border trade tax withheld from Wuwei could not fill this hole at all!
Fortunately, Qin Meng had the direct instruction of Yang Lin, the supervising army, to ask for money and money, simply, and all taxes in Wuwei. All were intercepted and stayed, all smashed on Shengcuan Feiqi.
After another month, the border trade in Wuwei gradually cooled down, and income decreased. Qin Meng and Yang Guang were a bit stretched.
The two of them summed up and decided that Yang Guang would take a trip to the capital, on the one hand, to solve the problem of money, on the other hand, to solve the problem of armor.
In ancient times, building weapons was not considered a heinous crime.
But if the armor is made privately, it is a great crime of treason.
Yang Guang had greeted the Shaofu Supervisor before and asked the Shaofu Supervisor to build an armor that conforms to the standard for Feiqi. But first, the number is large, and secondly, you can't just serve you as a young government supervisor. Therefore, Yang Guang has to remind him personally. The flying knight without standard armor does not look like a regular army, doesn't it
Poisoned by the Qin Meng, Yang Guang is already shameless and invisible. He looks good, and he does things with a gentle manner. Although it can reflect his personal accomplishment, the effect will not be very good.
Prevarication, the target is the kind of people with good cultivation.
On the contrary, under the guarantee of strength, Sapo shamelessly, acting in a difficult appearance, is likely to get things done.
It's almost winter. The Shaofu Supervisor allocated 5,000 sets of flying armor to Qin Meng, and promised that the remaining 5,000 sets would be paid in full during the summer season next year.
What surprised Qin Meng a little was that Supervisor Yang Lin had given him such an important matter. Not only did he not come over and have a look, but he did not send anyone to intervene.
After the snow fell, Yang Lin went back to Beijing to report on his work, not to mention meeting with Qin Meng, there was not even a letter.
At this time, the people selected by Qin Menghai still did not achieve the expected training effect, and could only be equivalent to the general cavalry, and Qin Meng's expectation, coordinated with Qin Meng's expectation, cooperated with the goal of the entire army group. The difference is too big.
Adhering to the principle of Ningque not overrun, Qin Meng strictly enforced the standards. In the sea elections of 12,000 people, only 4,000 were left. In this way, the total number of flying knights is a little more than 8,000, which is less than 10,000. Nearly 20%.
Yang Guang had already agreed with Qin Meng and planned to go back to the capital's home in the new year, but Feiqi did not succeed in the formation, so he stayed and discussed with Qin Meng how to complete the task as soon as possible.
To say that in the army of the Great Sui, no one might not envy Qin Meng and Yang Guang. There were only a few people, and the money they spent was the cost of supporting hundreds of thousands of army.
But no one can be more stressed than these two difficult brothers.
After spending so much money and receiving strong support from all aspects, in the past half a year, Ten Thousand Feiqi hasn't gotten involved. No matter how thick the face is, it's not without a bottom line.
Just when Brother Qin Meng was worried, on the first day of the new year, Yang Lin went all the way from the capital to Wuwei. He directly called Qin Meng and Yang Guang in front of him and said loudly, "What are you two doing? For a long time, 10,000 flying knights have been organized, and only 8,000 will be produced by the end of the year. Do you dare to report this number?" (End of this chapter)
