Yang Ye casually pulled out a few swords from the weapon rack and looked at them one by one. He already had an idea of ??the strength of the Sanquankou workshop. There were dozens of large workshops on Blacksmith Mountain, which could be said to be the top ones in the empire. A group of master blacksmiths, especially since they can obtain arms orders all year round, have almost no free time. Practice makes perfect. Even a blacksmith apprentice who forges a weapon day and night for ten years, or even twenty or thirty years, is enough to become a master blacksmith. When he thinks of the hundreds of thousands of blacksmiths on this forging mountain, Yang Ye feels confused. I wish I could move back to my own home. These are the most essential wealth of the empire, wealth more valuable than real money and silver. As the steward left the armory, he visited various crafts workshops. In addition to armor-making workshops, there are also specialized workshops for making bows, crossbows, swords, shields, etc. Each workshop consists of several The master blacksmith is in charge, and the master blacksmith is Qing Yishui below, while the senior blacksmith can only serve as an apprentice. There are more than 300 people in this workshop, and there are forty-eight such weapon workshops in Sanquanshui Workshop. After leaving the Iron Mountain, the sun was already setting in the west. On the way back to the city, Yang Ye did not rush back in a hurry. Instead, he frowned and thought about something, until the Iron Mountain behind him gradually disappeared, leaving only the curling black Yan was waving his hand to say goodbye, and Yang Ye turned his head and said to Sha Tianlang: "I remember that our Mutian Mansion near Panlong City also produces a lot of iron materials. Is it comparable to this place?" The Yang family is a hereditary marquis. The fiefdom is just north of Mutian Mansion, and there is also a huge mansion in Panlong City. Although there are many imperial officials such as the city lord, the governor of the first mansion, etc. in Panlong City, in Panlong City's one-third acre of land, Mutianhou Mansion But it is a position that is guaranteed, and in addition to the 6,000 registered private soldiers of the Yang family, many of the Yang family's retainers have become nobles. Indirectly, the number of private soldiers that the Yang family can control is as high as 18,000. Although there are less than 20,000 troops and horses, these troops and horses must be paid for by the Mutian Hou Mansion. Among many expenses, ordnance and supplies are undoubtedly a big item. And I heard Yang Shengcai say several times before that the Hou Mansion¡¯s funds They were not well-off and it cost money to raise soldiers. Although Marquis Mutian had many properties and could collect taxes in the territory, it was difficult to sustain without a pillar industry. Sha Tianlang pondered for a moment and said: "The fiefdom of the Hou Mansion is located on Panlongyuan. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides, especially the west. The Tianshan Mountains of the thick soil continent lie across the west. And in these mountains, there is no shortage of iron. As well as other ores, there are some blacksmith workshops, but they are incomparable to this. Even the iron workshop specially opened by our Hou Mansion is not one-fifth of the one in Sanquankou, and the level is much lower. " "So! Speaking of which, the scale of the ironware workshops in the fiefdom is not large, and there is not much profit! " "I don't know about this, but the workshops run by the Marquis Mansion are specially designed to serve the military, and the things they create are even for themselves. There¡¯s not enough for us, let alone takeout!¡± Yang Ye immediately frowned and said, ¡°Even if it¡¯s only one-fifth the size of Sanquankou, it¡¯s not like it can¡¯t even be self-sufficient. Could it be that management workshop? Hearing what Yang Ye said, Sha Tianlang suddenly broke into a cold sweat and said quickly: "Master, this is not because Manager Zhang of the workshop is not trying his best, but for another reason!" "Oh?" Panlongyuan is surrounded by mountains on three sides, not to mention two in the west. They are the Tianshan Mountains of the thick-earth continent. The mountains are as high as walls, which makes flying birds sad, so there is no threat from this direction. But to the north of Panlongyuan, there is the Panlong Crack. Valley, and rolling peaks, this mountainous area is between the Empire and the Xuanwu Empire, but there are hundreds of tribal tents scattered inside. Because the mountains are rugged and the trees are lush, even if the army marches in, there will be no danger. There are many mountain passes near the Great Rift Valley, but tribes often invade. It is very dangerous to enter the mountains to mine iron materials. Therefore, although there are many mines in the mountains, the amount of mining is not large! " "And to the south of Panlongyuan is the remaining Daxue Mountains! Facing the tribes in the Daxue Mountains and Tianshan Mountains, it can be said that our Panlongyuan is like a protruding wedge, dividing the tribes into two groups, one large and one small. Almost every year, the war never stops, and the tribe¡¯s The Yu tribe often invades Panlongyuan, and even the small Panlongcheng is attacked from time to time. Although the threat is not great, it makes people uneasy! " "And to transport the mined iron, you have to go through Panlong. Longyuan, if there were not hundreds of soldiers and horses to protect it, we would have encountered an ambush from the Yu Tribe on the way. And our soldiers and horses have to defend the north and south directions. Our troops are already stretched thin. How can we have more soldiers and horses to guard the mines? , and even escort transport convoys, so although there are many minerals in the mountains, very few can be mined and transported out. Sometimes wars are frequent, and they have to be purchased from outside. " Yang Ye didn't have much impression of the Yang family's territory, because Although Panlong is originally a fiefdom of the Yang family, the Mutianhou Mansion is permanently stationed in Panlong City, the capital of Mutian Mansion. The smaller half of the city here is considered the territory of the Yang family, and Yang Ye arrived at the Qinglong Emperor's Capital at the age of six, and is responsible for the feudal government.He rarely cared about other matters. From Yang Shengcai's mouth, he knew that the finances of the Hou Mansion were not well-off, but he didn't think much about it. But now it seems that many things have been hidden from him. According to the customs of the empire, a boy of fourteen is considered an adult and is considered a human being. He can serve as a soldier, do corvee work, and have the rights and responsibilities to establish his own family. In other words, after this year, Yang Ye will be able to inherit the title of Marquis Mutian. Once Yang Ye attacks the nobility, according to regulations, he must return to his fiefdom. Not all imperial nobles have actual fiefs. The fiefs of most nobles are just symbols of salary, and they do not need to be appointed as fiefs. Naturally, such nobles only have very few soldiers, and their residence is , mostly in the imperial capital, or some prosperous big cities, and nobles without actual fiefdoms can enter the court and serve as officials, serving as city lords, mayors, etc., which can be regarded as having considerable authority. The Yang family is a noble with a substantial fiefdom. These nobles hold military power and can take care of their own fiefdom affairs. They only need to pay fiefdom tax. The Yang family's fiefdom is extremely large. When it comes to area, it is almost as big as that in the Gyeonggi area. The small mansion is big and small, but no one is envious or envious of it, and no one would impeach the Yang family for violating the fiefdom. The reason is that Panlongyuan has a poor geographical location. It is located between two tribal forces. To the west is the obstacle of the Tianshan Mountains, which birds cannot fly. It can be said to be a dead place. It has no trade routes and must bear the burden. Heavy military pressure, and this place, more than a hundred years ago, was even the most important battlefield between the tribe and the empire. Until Yang Yezu's grandfather defeated the tribe here, separated the north from the south, and stationed heavy troops here, but for this place, the empire had to bear a heavy burden. Finally, someone in the court suggested, so this huge fiefdom of the Yang family was created. Said this is a big trap, the Yang family didn't take advantage, but got cheated. "Young Master!" Yang Ye snorted, but did not look at Killing Heavenly Wolf. Instead, he exhaled deeply and said, "It seems that I am not a good Marquis. I still have a year's work under my belt, which is much better." Just save some money!" As the sun slowly dipped into the horizon, Yang Ye and his party rushed back to Qinglong City before nightfall. However, the West Market of Qinglong City started to be lively at night. People who had been busy for a day would come out at this time to enjoy the Qinglong City. The bustling city at night. "Master, you are finally back. Madam has been looking for you all day!" As soon as he walked into the shop, Nie Yu, who was staying at the warehouse, stepped forward quickly and said. "Oh, do you know what happened? She is in the backyard?" Yang Ye looked at Nie Yu and shook his head first and then nodded, and said: "You guys go to rest, I will go to the backyard to take a look!" As soon as he stepped into the backyard, Yang Ye heard In the brightly lit small building not far away, Yingying Yanyan's laughter was heard, and she strode toward the small building. However, before she stepped into the small building, she felt her eyes were a little blurred. In this backyard, there are six stunning beauties living, one is still young, but she is also a little beauty blooming with allure, and Yang Ruoyu and Chu Xiangjun's two twin maids, although their looks are a little different, they are also top-notch. Well, a room full of beauties, even if they are not dressed up, is enough to dazzle people, not to mention The one with the hottest figure is undoubtedly Yan Ruyan, a beautiful woman from the Suzaku Empire with mountain barbarian blood. Yan Ruyan usually dresses hot and sexy, which highlights her proud figure. In addition to her personality, she also has customs like this. , and at this moment, Yan Ruyan is wearing much more fabric than she usually wears, but such a cover up brings out Yan Ruyan's sexiness even more. This is a battle skirt designed by Yang Ye. There is also a little bit of Yang Ye's little hobby in it. Who would have thought that a middle-aged uncle like him, a shopping mall elite, would like Japanese anime. Of course, he hid this very well. But after traveling to the Holy Spirit Continent, Yang Ye became a young lady, so naturally he no longer had any scruples. Therefore, when equipping the Supervisory Guard Battalion with new military uniforms and armor, Yang Ye's bad taste broke out. It can¡¯t be considered a bad taste, because this war skirt is not sexy at all, but very heroic. The upper body is made of white soft leather and has a tight shoulder armor. From the collar, there is a phoenix carving, and the carvings are deep and deep. It is shallow, partially hollowed out, and the buckle is located on the side, where the phoenix tail feathers are, integrating with the carvings. The war skirt is less than two-thirds of the thigh and is in the style of a feather skirt. There is a wide jade belt slung around the waist, which can be used to hang a sword. A cape can be installed on the upper body armor. The cape is a short cape, just above the waist, and can Used as a veil, the combat boots on the feet are also long-barreled combat boots with phoenix carvings. On the arms, there is a phoenix emblem, which is not only a decoration but also a symbol of the girl group. In addition, the hands are equipped with long-sleeved gloves to protect On the forearm, there is also a phoenix ring feather, which is just like Sun Wukong's tight hoop, but much more exquisite, and at the ear wing, there is a touch of snow-white white feathers stuck on it. ¡°This color doesn¡¯t match me, but the style is pretty good!¡± Yan Ruyan looked at herself up and down, wearing whiteThe heroic look in fluttering clothes looks good at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it doesn¡¯t match Yan Ruyan at all. Especially since I¡¯m used to Yan Ruyan¡¯s previous attire, looking at this outfit, it does seem a bit awkward. . "Hmm, this war skirt and armor were sent to be made before you came. The young master should have designed it according to the temperament of the young lady. Among us, apart from the young lady, Sister Bai, you should wear the best. It fits!" Yang Ruoyu's words immediately made Nalan Bingyue blush, but thinking about it, this white color is not suitable for her! "That's right, Bingbing, I'll drag it down right now. Come and put it on and see!" Yan Ruyan heard this and immediately looked at Bai Bing, who was silent and silent. Bai Bing was very different from Yan Ruyan's enthusiasm. But as cold as an iceberg. "Well, don't do it!" "No, go and change it quickly. If you don't wear it now, you will wear it in the future. If you wear it now, you can still find faults, but you won't be able to modify it later!" "Then!" "Before Bai Bing agreed, he was helped up by Yan Ruyan and walked towards the side room. "Young Master Yang! When did you come back!" Finally, after Yang Ye looked openly for a long time, someone finally saw Yang Ye in the hall. Suddenly, the girls who were commenting on the clothes on the table turned their heads and looked at outside the door. "Yang Ye, what are you doing sneakily outside?" Nalan Bingyue looked at Yang Ye, thinking that they were trying on clothes here, her face tightened and she said coldly. "What do you mean, why am I so sneaky? I'm standing at the gate. I haven't just come back. I'm about to go in!" Yang Ye said as he walked into the hall, and suddenly there was a mixture of numbers. The scent of the fragrant seeds fills your nose, and this room is almost like a flower garden: "By the way, I just came back, and I heard Nie Yu say that you were looking for me about this uniform?" "I designed this uniform before. , I didn¡¯t think too much about it. When I saw it just now, it really didn¡¯t match. I will design two more later. The color can also be changed. It¡¯s just that I have to put some thought into what kind of leather to use. Also, a kind of uniform leather armor. One is for combat, and one is for daily wear. Choose one of each. After all, this is a barracks, not a romance field, so we must dress uniformly!¡± ¡°I know, that¡¯s not why I¡¯m looking for you today!¡± Okay, but after counting the people on the register, there are 436 people. These people are all carefully selected by me, and none of them can be cut. You can find a way!" Nalan Bingyue just put the trouble away! Give it to Yang Ye and let Yang Ye find a solution! "That's it?" Yang Ye thought it was something, which made him a little nervous. "Well, is this still a small matter? I heard from Ruoyu that the number of people at Longjiangkou has been exceeded. The only one who still has some vacancies is the third group. But there are also people from Fatty Xu who have not been admitted. After all, , but it¡¯s all overstaffed!¡± Nalan Bingyue said seriously, obviously very dissatisfied with Yang Ye¡¯s reaction. Yang Ye waved his hand and said: "As long as your female guard regiment does not exceed five hundred, as for overstaffing, I have a solution! You don't have to worry about it. Besides, the normal establishment of the Supervisory Guard Battalion is about eight hundred "If it's just a normal staff, no one will care about you no matter what you do, but if you are super staffed, you can easily be caught, and you plan to go there." Offending people everywhere is not a reason for people to attack! "Although 1,500 people can be regarded as overstaffing, after all, there are still some old practices to be found. Even if there are people criticizing, we can handle it, but if there are more than 1,500 people, we can still deal with it. , but it¡¯s hard to say. But Yang Ye smiled and said: "You have thought of it. How could I not have thought of it? It is very easy to be accused of plotting rebellion with a large number of troops and horses, not to mention that my barracks is so elegant! And it doesn't take long to enter. We still have a lot of people in the Ninth Guards, so I thought about it, we can set up a reserve level! If they are not on the roster, they are considered employees! " "You are not fooling people. If it is not a regular establishment, who will be there? Come!" Nalan Bingyue was stunned for a moment, and immediately shook his head at Yang Ye's idea. There are only so many people in the Supervisory Guard Camp now, but they all have their own ideas. Those mercenaries are based on Yang Ye's family background. , in exchange for a future in the future, and the students in the academy came here, firstly, because of Yang Ye, and secondly, they also wanted to get a position in the army. For people without family background, the Supervisory Guard Camp is indeed a good place. Tomb, but for those with background, this is a springboard. After all, although the ninth governor's camp did not have the emperor's personal decree, the support behind the emperor has long been spread, and countless people are rushing to get there. Want a spot. As for those people with no background, Yang Ye also promised countless benefits and prospects, but in the end he didn't even have a place in the regular army. Isn't this a joke? It is estimated that the house will be empty in no time. "Bingyue, you look down upon our camp."?, not to mention anything else, once the people in our room show up, you think there will be fewer people to provoke. As long as you let out the wind and join the guard camp, you will have the opportunity to train with them and even have close contact with them. , Hehe, I'm afraid that the gate of our supervisory camp will be broken down by then! " Nalan Bingyue understood Yang Ye's plan in the blink of an eye. No wonder he supported her so much. It turned out to be because of this. She immediately snorted coldly and said: "You men are not good people. I will try again later. These people, five hundred people, right? " "Dong dong, our Bingbing has made a grand appearance! "At this moment, the door to the side room was pushed open by Yan Ruyan, and he rushed out. Bai Bing, who looked like he had just been molested, followed and walked out with a blush, and looked at Yan Ruyan. Yan's eyes showed a trace of helplessness. Yang Ye was also startled. He turned around and saw that Yan Ruyan had put on that unrestrained little battle dress again, with the two big white rabbits jumping happily on her chest. Behind her, Bai Bing walked out a little coquettishly, but Yang Ye was stunned at first glance. He didn't notice that Bai Bing, who usually dressed conservatively, was just like Bu Li, who was covered in a black robe. This uniform and battle skirt is gorgeous in all directions, just like the plum blossoms in winter, overwhelming all the flowers, cold and arrogant, and the blush on the cheeks is like plum red, adding a bit of beauty, and what is unexpected is that. This Bai Bing's figure is not inferior to that of the hot Yan Ruyan!
