Chapter seven hundred and eighty eighth one year agreement
Speaking of harvest, not only Cui Lichen looked at Yan Liqiang with curious eyes, but also Riestong beside him. People have curiosity, which is naturally inevitable.
Seeing Yan Liqiang not speaking, Cui Lichen smiled indifferently and said, "Everything you encounter and gained in meditation in the Yuluo Palace is personal secret. There is no need to tell others. I just said it casually. Liqiang, you don't need to care!"
"Senior misunderstood, I was just thinking about what to say!" Yan Liqiang smiled, "The Emperor Yuluo Tianshi did teach me some things, but these things are neither martial arts secrets nor secret techniques, but something else..."
"Ah, the Emperor of Heaven has taught you something else?" Cui Lichen and Riestong looked at each other, and both of them were a little surprised. Riestong even shouted loudly.
Cui Lichen's brows also frowned suddenly, with a puzzled look on his face, "This... I have never heard of anyone who can get teachings from the Emperor of Heaven..."
"Strictly speaking, what the Emperor of Heaven taught me was also a secret technique, but this secret technique has nothing to do with martial arts, but is related to various mechanisms of studying things. Some of them can increase the efficiency of smelting and producing steel by dozens or hundreds of times, and the cost is less than one-tenth of what it is now..."
Cui Lichen was stunned. Unexpectedly, Emperor Yuluo would teach Yan Liqiang such a secret technique. When Riestong heard Yan Liqiang say this, his face completely changed. Cui Lichen might not quite understand what Yan Liqiang said that it would increase the steel output by dozens or hundreds of times while the production cost would become one-tenth of the original one. However, Riestong, as the governor of a state, understood very well what this meant.
Steel is an extremely important thing, and it is related to all aspects. As the governor of Ganzhou, his most important means to curb the Seven Tribes of Shatu. The most important thing is to control the Shatu people to obtain steel from Ganzhou. Once these things are in the hands of Shatu people, they will turn into armor, weapons and arrows, which greatly increases their strength. If they can be controlled, Shatu people are just wolves without minions. It will be much easier to deal with them. One of the important reasons why Shatu people were defeated on the Gulang Grassland this time is that the Shatu people did not have enough weapons and equipment to arm their soldiers. Among the Shatu people, except for a few nobles in each tribe, almost no warriors have armor. Among the Shatu people, father and son have only one sword, and iron arrow clusters are also in urgent need of them. In order to save iron materials, some Shatu people's rhino dragon horses and mounts do not even nail horseshoes.
With Ganzhou's current steel production capacity, it is only barely enough, but many equipment in the army has a high cost and is difficult to popularize. If it is true that as Yan Liqiang said, not to increase the steel production by dozens of times and reduce the cost to one tenth, the current steel production can be doubled and the cost is reduced by half, which is amazing and will have a huge impact on all aspects.
"This... why did the Emperor of Heaven teach you a secret technique like Li Qiang?" Cui Lichen asked in disbelief.
"Because this was what I took the initiative to ask..." Yan Liqiang said calmly.
It is a blessing to have the honor to be lucky enough to be able to sense the existence of the Emperor of Heaven in peace, but there is still someone who can make a request to the Emperor of Heaven? Hearing Yan Liqiang's answer, Cui Lichen was almost petrified.
"Liqiang, do you know what you are talking about?" Riestong's big hands were placed heavily on Yan Liqiang's shoulders, and then looked at Yan Liqiang with a solemn look. "If there is really a way to increase the output of steel ten times and the cost becomes one-tenth of the previous one, and then arm an army, wouldn't it be able to sweep the world?"
"Brother Lei, that's what I think. Now that something happened in the imperial capital, the court has been destroyed in name only. Seeing that the world is in chaos, how many things can a person do at this time?" Yan Liqiang looked at Lei Sitong with a bright look, "And if we can arm Qiyun County, Ganzhou, and the thousands of soldiers in the northwest with steel, they will definitely do things that no master or strong man can do. Brother, you should also know the five-year agreement between me and the Luo family in Jinzhou. I must win this bet..."
"The world is in chaos now. Do you want to fight for dominance in Liqiang?" Riestong asked directly, his eyes flashing.
"I used to just want to live a stable life, but this trip to the imperial capital made me understand how innocent my previous thoughts were. Now evil demons are in power, and traitors are in power, and the Han Empire is in turmoil. It is impossible for me to live a stable life. I just want to fight for all the people in the world who want to live a stable life and don't want to be bullied by fish!" Yan Liqiang looked at Rie Sitong calmly, and did not fear to fully express his inner thoughts.
Riestong looked at Yan Liqiang for a while, and suddenly smiled, "If you want to fight for dominance of the world, you can't do it with a sense of intention and determination. To be honest, Liqiang's conditions are in your hands now. Although you have money, land, and some people, it is still far from fighting for dominance of the world. Your foundation is still very weak, and you can't even get a state of land. How can you calm the world? This time the master called me here, and I originally wanted to meet you and Liqiang, and discuss
How to deal with the chaos in front of you and retain some vitality for the great man. Since Li Qiang made a bet with the Luo family in Jinzhou, I will not drag you down. However, in front of you, you need to show your abilities. The situation in the Gulang Grassland has changed drastically. As long as Li Qiang has the ability to take down Gulang Grassland and let you, Qi Yun, be justified, I will help you in the future. If others can sit in this world, our Yuluo Palace can naturally sit there too!"
"Okay!" Yan Liqiang said firmly, "Brother Lei, look at it. Within a year, I can take down the Gulang Grassland and let Qi Yun supervise the flag floating on the Gulang Grassland again!"
"One year?" Ries's eyes narrowed.
"One year!" Yan Liqiang nodded heavily.
"Okay, I'll wait to see Li Qiang's methods!" Lei Si laughed, "I'll give you all the benefits of Yuntao County Salt Field this year. I wish you a lot of help. It depends on Li Qiang, how can you take back the Gulang Grassland for me!"
Yan Liqiang smiled slightly, "Money is just a trivial matter to me. We will still distribute the income from the salt farm in Yuntao County. However, I want to borrow 10,000 cavalry from my brother, Ganzhou Army, to use it for a year. A year later, I will return the borrowed troops to you, and I will give you 20,000 rhino dragon horses and 500,000 kilograms of high-quality steel..."
