Chapter 89
In Guangyang County, Youzhou
On the first day after returning to Youzhou, Zhang Fu gathered everyone together and introduced them to each other.
Zhang Fu looked at these boys Qin Lang, Li Zheng, Li Dian, Zhang Liao, Gongsun Xu, Dou Fu, Wen Pin, Wei Yan, and Qiu Liju's two sons Lou Ban and Tadun, the oldest of whom was 13 or 14 years old, and the youngest was 4 or 5 years old.
These are the second generation who have not yet grown up, and the second generation team of Huang Xu and Huang Wudie is also very strong.
After the introduction, he arranged for Huang Zhong and Zhang Bozu to live. Zhang Fu arranged them to be neighbors, so that Huang Xu could receive treatment.
"My Lord, the development of Youzhou is now on the right track. Wangxian Tower has spread all over Youzhou. Tianzixiao is selling well. The name of Tianzixiao has spread to Bingzhou and Jizhou."
"I believe that in one or two years at most, the name of Tianzixiao will be known throughout the world. At that time, there will be a steady flow of money, and our power will surely become stronger and stronger!"
Guo Jia directly reported the news reported in advance by Du Kang, Shen Wansan and others. They also had to be responsible for brewing and doing business, so they did not attend this meeting.
Zhang Fu smiled and said, "Well done, Fengxiao, this is Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe. Although we have introduced them just now, I want to introduce them to you separately now, because he will take the position of Tianshouxing and be your deputy for the time being."
"After Wenhe is familiar with him, Fengxiao, you can be more relaxed and leave the main work to Wenhe!"
As for why Jia Xu was given the title of Tianshouxing, Zhang Fu also had his own considerations. After all, Jia Xu has lived for a long time and deserves the title of Tianshouxing.
After Zhang Fu finished speaking, he gave Guo Jia a look, and Guo Jia understood it immediately.
When Yan Zhong came to Youzhou, Guo Jia had already inquired about Jia Xu, so he knew that Jia Xu was a counselor who was only interested in his own affairs.
If it does not involve himself, it is impossible for him to stand up and make suggestions, so Guo Jia thinks that letting Jia Xu join the Bad People is definitely a very correct thing.
Jia Xu is capable, and his ability is not inferior to Guo Jia, so after receiving the order, Guo Jia directly took Jia Xu away, and Dian Wei got up and followed.
Jia Xu was very helpless. He didn't say this on the way. He was suddenly asked to be in charge of the intelligence organization, and it seemed that he would have to do most of the things in the future.
Jia Xu couldn't accept this, but he had to accept this reality helplessly under Guo Jia's soft and hard persuasion.
"Brother Wenhe, you can rest assured. Intelligence organizations usually act in secret, so you will also be a secret person. This does not conflict with your self-interest. It's just a little more tiring."
Of course, Guo Jia did not tell the whole truth, but only told Jia Xu the current situation. As for what the bad people will do in the future, he didn't say a word.
"Well, since we are here, we should make the best of it. But Fengxiao, you can't be lazy. I just arrived and I'm not familiar with many things. It's not okay for you to be a hands-off boss now!"
Jia Xu grabbed Guo Jia tightly, as if he was afraid that Guo Jia would suddenly slip away. Guo Jia was helpless about this.
Dian Wei laughed very unkindly behind him. He had been with Guo Jia for such a long time and knew Guo Jia's temper. He definitely wanted to run away just now.
......
After Jia Xu, Guo Jia and Dian Wei left, Xi Zhicai stood up and started talking.
"My lord, do you want to recruit more soldiers now? Although our troops exceed 100,000, including the county and county troops, we can't take them with us when we really go on an expedition, so the number of troops is still too small."
Then Mao Jie, Yang Zaixing, Shan Xiongxin, Huang Chao and other main members also echoed.
Zhang Fu asked: "If we recruit more soldiers, where do you think we should recruit them from, from Youzhou or from the Wuhuan tribe?"
Qiuliju immediately stood up and said: "My lord, there are still many young and strong people in the Wuhuan tribe, all of whom are proficient in riding skills. With a little training, they can form combat effectiveness!"
The more soldiers the Wuhuan tribe has, the more stable his position as the chief of the Wuhuan tribe will be. Although he is only the deputy general of the Wuhuan cavalry now, as long as he can follow the lord to become bigger and stronger, everything is not important.
Afterwards, Fu Cunshen, Yang Zaixing, Shan Xiongxin, Huang Chao and others also made suggestions, and even Li Cunxiao made suggestions.
Zhang Fu thought for a while and said: "Then select another 5,000 young and strong people from the Wuhuan tribe to join the Wuhuan cavalry. Xu Rong and Qiuliju will be responsible for this matter."
"Yes, my lord"Sir!" Xu Rong and Qiu Liju immediately accepted the order, and they were very happy. This increase in troops was also a good thing for them.
"Then recruit 50,000 soldiers. Of course, these 50,000 soldiers do not have to be from Youzhou. Bingzhou and Jizhou are also OK. Spread the news and emphasize our treatment and the hard training. Let them decide for themselves. "
"As for how to distribute them, the Qinglong Army will take 10,000 people, the Taiping Army will take 20,000 people, and the remaining 20,000 people will be organized by Huang Zhong. The name is tentatively set as the Suzaku Army, and Zhang Liao, Wen Pin, and Wei Yan will serve as deputy generals. "
"Yes, lord! "Fu Cunshen, Guan Hai, Zhang Liao, Wen Pin, and Wei Yan said in unison. As for Huang Zhong, he was not there at the moment, so they could only notify him later.
Now, although the speed of recruiting soldiers may be a little slower, the number of soldiers will reach 150,000 next year, which is already a lot at this time.
And once they are trained, they can be called elite soldiers.
After things were temporarily settled, Zhang Fu arranged for them to go back, and then Zhang Fu came to the study.
Zhang Fu opened the map directly and began to study it.
Zhang Fu muttered to himself: "If this pair goes on an expedition, it is not necessary to attack Bingzhou or Jizhou for the time being. Goguryeo and the Three Kingdoms of Korea are also good choices! "
And the most important thing is that the Three Kingdoms of Korea are very close to Japan. Once the Three Kingdoms of Korea are conquered, we can prepare to attack Japan, where there are mountains of gold and silver.
The money earned now is all internal circulation money, so it still needs mountains of gold and silver to support it in order to grow and develop.
And Japan is undoubtedly the best target. Zhang Fu thought about it and thought that Japan did not seem to be very strong now. Perhaps it would be enough to rely on the Xuanwu Army led by Taishi Ci and Zhang Dingbian.
Of course, the prerequisite is to build a ship that can sail in the sea.
