Chapter 38(2/2)
"You still can't be proud, you must do everything you can to expand your strength." Tang Jing warned himself again.
With the construction of Chang'an City, Tang Jing, as one of the most influential figures in the Dragon Kingdom, has undoubtedly become more worried about gains and losses than when he first arrived.
The further you get to this point, the less willing you are to lose what you have gained.
Power is like strong wine.
How can we continue to expand Changan's strength?
The ongoing second round of sweeps is expected to bring a new population of 9,000 to 10,000 to Chang'an, which will lay the foundation for the next round of expansion of the City Guard Brigade by replacing the young labor force in the kiln area.
The 1,500 powerful bows promised by Elf Mia are expected to be delivered within two days.
There is also the weapons and equipment purchased by Dwarf Bagg.
Of the 50,000 gold coins he got from selling the resource bag, Tang Jing only needed 20,000 gold coins in cash, and the remaining 30,000 gold coins were all exchanged for armor, swords, spears and other weapons and equipment.
Although the Territory Soldiers Workshop is already in operation, it is obviously still unable to keep up with the expansion of the army.
In the early stage, we still have to rely on external procurement.
Strong bows can be used to form new archery battalions, and can also be used to exchange war horses with grassland lords, thus laying a solid foundation for the subsequent formation of cavalry battalions.
Conservative estimate.
After this round of sweeps, the City Guard Brigade can expand by at least three to four thousand people.
Strength will reach a new level.
Once the City Guard Brigade is fully expanded, the threat from Black Wind Village seems to be no longer a concern.
It is just used to test the combat effectiveness of the city guard brigade.
………
On February 14, the raids continued.
Dwarf Bagg returned to his territory again, bringing with him a full 20,000 gold coins, 2,000 sets of iron armor, 1,000 sets of leather armor, 2,000 spears, 3,000 knives and 1,000 bucklers.
There are also 1,500 strong bows entrusted by the elf Mia.
"Sir, I have emptied all the inventory of the Hammer Tribe this time." Bage smiled bitterly.
The implication.
From now on, no matter how much the territory pays, it will no longer be able to buy weapons and equipment from the Hammer Tribe.
At least not in the short term.
"Aren't there other dwarf tribes in the Beiluo Mountains?" Tang Jing was doubtful.
"The nearest dwarf tribe is more than two hundred miles away. It's not easy to travel across mountains and ridges. Besides, other tribes are not familiar with the territory, so they may not be willing to sell weapons and equipment." Bage explained.
"Ahem, I still have two resource bags here." Tang Jing remained calm.
"Wha, what?"
Bug almost dropped his jaw in shock, "There are two more?"
"Yes."
In front of Bage, Tang Jing silently took out two resource bags.
"Everyone is going to be sold?"
Bagge realized that he might have suffered a big loss if he quoted fifty thousand gold coins before.
I thought it was unique.
"Let's sell one first."
Tang Jing knows marketing very well, "There is only one left. The territory will be used to load canal sand and limestone from outside the city."
This is also true.
"Okay, then I will run for you again."
The Hammer Tribe is at a disadvantage, so there is no reason why the other tribes should not join in the fun.
We share joys and sorrows!
