"Butler Ren, take this recipe and arrange for people to barbecue jerky. Remember to add more salt and seasonings. Boil a piece of jerky in water. It can be drunk directly as broth, which is considered to be delicious!" He grabbed a piece of white paper with handwriting from the table, and Zhang Qian smiled and ordered.

"Yes, the owner of the manor!" Ren Quan stepped forward and took the secret recipe and walked away quickly. Before he could reach the door, Zhang Qian's voice came from behind, "Wait a minute, copy two copies of the secret recipe and give them to the Ren and Guo families. Please help with it. Within ten days, I will ask for 20,000 kilograms of yak jerky."

"Yes!" Ren Quan agreed again, his pace became hurried.

Nodding at his back, Zhang Qian grabbed the white paper with words in the second chapter, "Butler Cui, take this recipe and make fried noodles. Fry it with boiled yak butter, add five kilograms of fried sesame seeds and five kilograms of dried fruits in every hundred kilograms of noodles. A total of 20,000 kilograms are required. You can get it all in ten days, and you can spare no expense!"

"Don't worry, the owner of the manor!" Butler Cui stepped forward with red eyes, took the secret recipe, and then ran away.

"Yes!" Zhang Qian pondered for a moment, grabbed the handwritten warrants written last night, and passed them one by one.

"Zhang Gui, take a few people to buy horses. Don't run too fast, you must be able to carry things and support them. Within ten days, plus the original ones in the home, you can get enough 400 horses!"

"Zhang Ren, you have my famous post and ask for a visit to Doctor Sun. Ask him to help him arrange 500 marching slabs to relieve the heat."

"Zhang Bao, you go and buy soybeans and black beans, and roast them and make them into war horses."

...

The servants agreed and left one after another, their faces filled with tension and heaviness.

The owner of his own house was appointed by the court and was about to be the chief of the marching in Anxi Town. He followed the General of Zuo Xiaogu and the Chief Supervisor of Anxi Road Niu Shizhuo to expedition for Saiye. This news is like a bolt from the blue for everyone in the village.

Since Zhuangzi changed his surname to Zhang, everyone's lives have undergone earth-shaking changes. From the butler to the servants and servants, everyone's income has increased several times, and their status has also risen like a kite. Nowadays, several close friends who followed the owner of the manor, such as Zhang Gui, Zhang Bao, etc., are called men when they go out. Ren Guan and Butler Cui, when they meet the county magistrate on the road, they don't have to take the initiative to dismount.

In addition, from the housekeepers to the servants and servants, almost everyone has relatives working in the workshop of Liushen Trading Company. The income is several times that of workshops elsewhere, and only needs to work for four hours a day. After working for a year in a row, you can go home and get married and talk about your wife. Moreover, some of the fine work in the workshop is specially recruiting girls, and the income is higher than that of men. Many servants and servants who originally thought they had raised money-lossing goods at home are now all proud.

also……

Change is in all aspects. Not only money, but also dignity, order and hope. As well as many things that are inexplicable. The servants and servants are not as eloquent as scholars, but their hearts are as clear as mirrors. In the past year, the entire Zhuangzi and everyone in Zhuangzi have been transformed.

Since changing the owner of the manor, Butler Cui has never whipped anyone for no reason. Going to the Wang family to cope with debts was the last cruel thing the servants did. Now, there is no one in the Zhangjiazhuang area, and he still owes the famine in the manor. There are no tenants who need to use wild vegetables to fill their stomachs.

The accumulated water for many years was completely drained by the well. In the abandoned low-lying fields, there were no longer gray vegetables, but sorghum. The roads in the village were twice as wide as before, and all the potholes were not filled flat. In the pond in front of the village, the lotus leaves had been connected into pieces, and wild ducks and wild geese were wandering around the water.

Nowadays, who among the people in the villages, who mentioned Zhangjiazhuang where Zhang Shaojian is located, is so envious that their eyes shine? Who doesn’t know that anyone living in Zhangjiazhuang, whether the servants or tenants, lives are rich? And all this is because Zhang Shaojian is the owner. If Zhang Shaojian is gone one day, it is impossible. But God really doesn’t have any eyes, and Zhang Shaojian encounters some trouble, everyone will definitely return to the hard days before them, and the prosperity in front of them will quickly turn into desolation!

Only with the owner of the house, good days will continue. The servants and servants who realized the crisis came made decisive choices. Not only did they work together to carry out the assigned tasks as quickly as possible. There were more than 20 people in the family who were less concerned about them, so they simply went to Ren Quan to volunteer to accompany the owner of the house to go to war.

Everyone’s idea is very simple and very direct. Although the Ren and Guo families sent 150 servants to each of them yesterday evening. However, the owner of the manor belongs to his own family and cannot be protected by the Ren and Guo families.

Although the servants of the Ren and Guo families have rich combat experience and are very skilled, they are not the money of the owner. When it comes to a critical moment, loyalty may not be reliable. However, the servants and servants of Zhangjiazhuang have long been tied to the fate of the owner. At critical moments, they are naturally more loyal than outsiders.

Zhang Qian did not refuse the kindness of the servants and servants this time. After listening to Ren Quan's report, he decisively asked the village to pay the money to prepare armor, weapons and horses for the servants and servants who volunteered to Ying, so as not to add any burden to everyone. He also returned the contract to each servant and servant who volunteered to Ying, and changed his identity from a slave to a hired worker.

It was not Zhang Qian himself who hired them, but Liushen Commercial Company. In this way, even if they were injured on the battlefield, their lives would not be guaranteed for the rest of their lives.

Zhang Qian and Ren Cong and Guo Nu discussed the 150 elite soldiers who sent each of Ren and Guo’s families, and after discussing with each other, Zhang Qian also adopted the same method. In the name of Liushen Trading Company, he redeemed the sales contracts of these 300 servants and returned them to individuals. At the same time, they were recruited as "security guards" of Liushen Trading Company. The monthly salary was exactly the same as the craftsmen in the business. When they went out, they were twice as high as those of the craftsmen...

In this way, before leaving, Zhang Qian had more than 320 security guards. They were all big and round, full of vitality. How much combat power could be? At least they were not much different from those traditional generals.

This is the welfare of time travelers. Although Zhang Qian did not understand the art of war, he was also a layman in how to form and train troops. However, he knew that the inevitable result of the evolution of the army, or the degeneration of the feudal era, was private soldiers!

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Li Keyong could suppress Zhu Wen with thousands of private soldiers. In the late Ming Dynasty, Li Chengliang could also sit in Liaodong for more than 30 years with two thousand servants.

Compared with the current system of government troops implemented by the Tang Dynasty, the system of housekeepers or private troops may not be an improvement. However, in small-scale battles or large-scale battles, the servants who are well-fed and armed to the teeth can definitely drive the sheep three times their own soldiers. As for tribal soldiers whose combat effectiveness and equipment are far inferior to those of the soldiers, if the scale of the two sides is less than five times, the servants can definitely beat the other side to the ground for teeth.

"Senior Brother, Senior Brother, look at my set of star armor!" Ren Cong walked into the study in a clang-shaped iron armor, shaking in front of Zhang Qian's eyes like a peacock spreading his tail.

Zhang Qian, who had just assigned the tasks to the servants, raised his head, looked at Ren Cong in surprise, and smiled and scolded: "What armor should I wear in hot weather? Be careful of heatstroke. Take it off quickly and put it aside. I have something to arrange for you to do!"

"Senior Brother -, last time I went to Yangcheng, the second brother was with you!" Ren Cong immediately raised his mouth and reminded him like a coquettish act.

"Yangcheng is Yangcheng, and broken leaves are broken leaves. Can it be compared? What's more, after leaving for at least half a year, who did you ask me to hand over the military weapon surveillance?" Zhang Qian glared at him fiercely, and extinguished his thoughts without hesitation.

Military weapon surveillance is the foundation for the three brothers to gain a foothold in the court. At this critical moment, it must not be lost. Therefore, the moment he received the imperial edict yesterday evening, Zhang Qian had already made a decision. This time he went to Anxi, Guo Nu, Ren Cong, and Wang Maobo, and he would not take any of them.

Especially Ren Cong, who is young and has ordinary martial arts skills. Not only can he not help at all after he goes there, he will be distracted. However, staying in the military weapon supervision, Ren Cong and Guo Nu can continuously provide material support to the front line with their financial resources and connections.

"Brother, you can arrange for the second brother to be in charge of the Armored Staff and Gunpowder Department!" Ren Cong was still unwilling to give up and continued to beg for a low request.

"Your second senior brother also has to manage the flower dew workshop at home and continue to refine rose essential oil." Zhang Qian glared at him and answered firmly, "Don't be slandered, take off your armor and go back to the Armor Staff Office to stare. I will customize the 100-leadered star armor and the 300-leadered cavalry iron vest in the name of the commander of the Anxi Road. If you can't do it, you can share some of it to Wang Mao Bo's side, and count the customization of the Armor Staff Office from the Iron Tools Office of the Six Gods Business Company! However, it must be delivered within ten days. If the army is delayed, I will ask you!"

"This..., yes, senior brother!" Ren Cong completely lost his temper and had to walk out with his head hanging down.

As soon as they reached the door, they accidentally bumped into Guo Nu who rushed in. Both brothers were unsteady and fell down. The "Star Armor" on their bodies collided with each other, and there was another "clang clang".

The Yaoxing Armor is the iron armor that Ren Cong sent to the palace under the order of Zhang Qian. He only removed the dragon decoration on it. After Li Xian tried it, he personally named the armor "Yaoxing".

This kind of armor weighs less than half of that of the Mingguang Armor, but its protection has increased by at least 50%. Feather arrows are basically unable to penetrate. If you hold a crossbow, you have to at least twenty steps closer to endanger the safety of the armored person. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty wear the Star Armor, which is definitely a tiger with wings!

The only disadvantage of this armor is that the cost is a bit high. Even though the iron refining technology is becoming more and more mature, a set of Yaoxing Armor without any decoration will cost more than 30 yuan. However, for Zhang Qian, the price is no longer a problem.

"Take off the armor for me, don't talk too much!" Zhang Qian walked over quickly, pulled Ren Cong and Guo Nu from the ground with one hand. Then, he followed the butts of the two, and "rewarded" one of them, and scolded in a low voice, "Who dares to mention another word to accompany me on the battle, and go directly to do two hundred physics questions."

"Yes!" Ren Cong was depressed and did not dare to talk anymore. Guo Nu, who came with the same purpose as him, saw that the situation was not good, quickly explained with a smile, "Senior Brother, Senior Brother, listen to me. I was not here to volunteer to go to the battle. I just recommend you, and recommend a few reliable helpers to the Western Regions!"

"Leave your name, except your own name!" Zhang Qian refused to be fooled, looked at him, and whispered an order. Then, he shook his head again and comforted him in a very low voice: "Don't think that I will go to Shaye this time, and I will die forever. In fact, the risk is not that high. When I go to Anxi, I know who the enemy is, so I don't have to be careful of it all day long! Besides, the risk has been one with opportunities since ancient times. You two help me watch out for my family. When I come back, the situation will definitely be completely different!"
