Chapter 308: Lucky Head

When the third battalion of the Anqing Border Army entered Guangchang, he immediately understood what it means to get the moon first. The Mingguang armor of the Guangchang local garrison troops made them red. Ordinary soldiers were wearing Mingguang armor. In the Anqing Border Army, they could not even wear the whistle officer! Meng Yao and Ding Qiu were all wearing one, but they were always wandering and fighting, with scars on the armor, and cracks were broken in several places. They found craftsmen and riveted a piece of iron with a few rivets to wear it. Fortunately, Han Xiao understood very well. As soon as the Anqing Border Army entered Guangchang, he gave the order and took off all the thousands of sets of Mingguang armor from the garrison army and changed into old equipment. These thousand sets of Mingguang armor were very consciously presented to the Anqing Border Army.

Each of the 3rd Battalion had two sets of mail generals. Yun Zhao packed and sealed them and transported them back to Gaoyang. There were currently tens of thousands of people under his command, and there were many officers above mail generals!

Of course, the soldiers of the third battalion would not be pulled down. The Mingguang armor was contributed by hundreds of private workshops in Guangchang. There were a lot of chain mail in the two official workshops. Each of the soldiers changed their guns and had a full set of new clothes. Each of them had a pair of shoulder armor, a pair of breast armor, two arm guards, and two leg guards. They were dressed up and looked completely new. Not to mention that the soldiers were so happy that they were so happy that even Yun Zhao had to sigh, people leaned on clothes and birds leaned on hair.

The soldiers were naturally happy. With these armored clothes, their probability of survival on the battlefield would be greatly improved, at least they would not kill themselves if they were killed by a single knife. Although this chain mail is a little simpler, it is still iron armor.

Meng Yao and Ding Qiu were happy, and each of the soldiers was equipped with armor. When the third battalion encountered tough battles in the future, there would not be such a high casualty rate as before. No matter how brave the soldiers were, they would have to have a handy weapon and good protection. A veteran is much more precious than a pair of armor.

Just like the children during the Chinese New Year got a new dress and a few candies, Meng Yao and Ding Qiu devoted themselves to the reorganization of the prisoners with great enthusiasm. Two thousand prisoners are a big help for the third battalion.

Compared with the ecstatic Meng Yao and Ding Qiu, Jiang Xu was very unhappy. There was no armor suited to his physique. He tried every Mingguang armor almost paranoid, but none of them could be put on the body. Although those armors were big and small, it was obvious that the craftsmen who were these armored men did not expect that there would be such a huge figure as Jiang Xu, and that the largest Mingguang armor could not be put into Jiang Xu.

Yun Zhao smiled bitterly and promised to get Jiang Xu the best set of armor immediately. He used to promise to find Jiang Xu a war horse that could carry his weight. Until now, it has not been fulfilled, and it is almost the same as his own dark clouds and snow. However, such war horses are hard to come by and are difficult to find, but armor is different. There are many workshops in Guangchang, so it is not difficult to customize a set for Jiang Xu.

Jiang Xu killed Gordon in the formation, but he made great contributions. A powerful general like him who was rushing to the formation, and then he would have a suitable pair of armor, which would inevitably double its power.

Yan Xiaoyi also got the lottery, so his cavalry was naturally indispensable. Yan Xiaoyi was unwilling to wear the bright light armor. The thing was a bit heavy and would affect the cavalry's combat. The war horses loaded so many dozens of kilograms, and the combat power would be greatly reduced in the war. The chain mail was made of iron wire, which was light in weight. It was much more solid than the leather armor. What made Yan Xiaoyi even more happy was that he had obtained more than 200 cavalry prisoners of war from Meng Yao, and his team could finally be expanded. Although these prisoners of war were not useful at present and their level was a little worse, it was not difficult to train them with himself and a group of old brothers.

"General Yun, will these prisoners of war be incorporated into the Anqing border army now? Will there be any future troubles?" Wang Bin was a little worried, "They used to be the old foundation of Wang Haogu!"

Yun Zhao disagreed, "It's okay, these people are Wang Haogu's people, but are they not Dayue people? They are not from Yizhou. Wang Haogu betrayed Dayue and led the Mongolian army into Yi, causing trouble to the people in Yizhou, and the people suffered, and have become sinners throughout the ages. Do these soldiers still treat him like before? Of course, we definitely don't want the officers here. Ordinary soldiers are fine."

Looking at Yun Zhao's appearance, Wang Bin suddenly felt confident. Yes, which big Yue man would be willing to attract those people from his hometown who harmed him? Maybe the captive soldiers are still happy to have a chance anyway!

"Mr. Liao!" Yun Zhao looked at Liao Dade, the mining supervisor on the side.

"I'm here!"

"This time I go to the mine, I think it's a big problem!" Yun Zhao said slowly.

Cold sweat immediately oozed out of Liao Dade's body. Now it was the opportunity to win the favor of the new master, but we must not make any mistakes. We stood up immediately, "General, don't know what are the omissions? Please tell us clearly that Dade will rush back to the mine to make rectifications immediately."

"Sit down and say, sit down and say!" Yun Zhao smiled and waved his hand. "Although there are 30,000 miners in the mine, the amount of mine is not high. The two refineries are not satisfactory. Although I don't understand this industry, I have read some books on this and consulted some experts."

"Xiaguan will rush back to the mine today. Even if he is exhausted, he will have to increase the output!" Liao Dade said quickly.

"Who are you tired? Are those miners? That's not OK. If you are tired, who will start mining for us, you will be even worse. I don't have any experts like you who are familiar with mining operations like you. You are all good." Yun Zhao said with a smile.

"Yes, I am thankful for the general's praise. After I go back, I will definitely find a way to increase the output as soon as possible!"

"I guess you must be forcing the miner to work day and night when you go back. This cannot solve the problem, nor is it a long-term solution!" Yun Zhao shook his head, "I asked about this question. Someone told me that the main reason is that these miners work in the mine and receive a fixed amount of money, and the more they do, the less they do, and the money cannot be completely in their hands. Some people exploit it, resulting in the miners not being able to rely on this to support their families. If it weren't for the soldiers guarding the mines and the mine managers in the mine, there would be a big mess. If the livelihoods of the miners were not solved, how would they be interested in working hard? If they can't support their families, why should they work hard for you?"

Liao Dade was sweating coldly in his vest.

"You go back and check it out carefully to see who are filling your own pockets? Those who are doing power in the mine? These people must be severely punished. Kill one and respect a hundred!" Yun Zhao's voice suddenly became stern.

"The official understands it, understand, and then investigate it after you go back!"

"Well, I believe you can do this!" Yun Zhao changed his smile, "Mr. Liao, tell the miners that the output in the previous month is the base, for every 10% of the output, they can get one-tenth of the reward, and if the output is doubled, they can get 30% of the reward. The extra ore will be acquired by the Anqing Bianjun at the market price."

"Ah?" Liao Dade looked at Yun Zhao in confusion, "General, these people are doing this, and the mines are also from the government. How can the government pay them to buy these extra output? Don't worry, we can double the output without paying."

"Do as I can!" Yun Zhao said coldly.

"Yes, yes, it's just that the general, the mining supervisor, couldn't take out too much money for a while. Since the war started and the trade route was interrupted, we have never made any money here. The weapons and fine irons that Lord Pan used to call have not been paid yet."

"Don't worry, we Anqing Border Army paid for the money!" Yun Zhao said with a smile, "You just go and do it!"

"Thank you for your understanding!" Liao Dade was very happy, "Then the official will say goodbye. The official will rush back to the mine to preach the master's decision to these miners, so that they can be happy."

Looking at Liao Dade's back as he went out, Yan Xiaoyi, who had been sitting on the side, suddenly sneered. Listening to Yan Xiaoyi's sneer, Wang Bin suddenly felt a little chilled on his body.

"Guo Feng, have everyone arranged their hands?"

"General, don't worry, everything has been arranged. If this Lord Liao doesn't do it, he will be able to do it. If he really dares to do it, he will go but never return." A man in green who had been sitting on the corner aside said with a smile.

Yun Zhao turned around and looked at Wang Bin and said, "Mr. Wang, let me introduce Guo Feng, the guerrilla general of the Anqing Border Army, who is responsible for all intelligence matters in the Anqing Border Army and serves as the Director of the Fang Department."

Wang Bin had sweat on his head, and he quickly stood up and bowed deeply to Guo Feng, "I'm negligent. I didn't know General Guo before. Please forgive me!"

Guo Feng smiled and returned the greeting, "Mr. Wang, it's better not to remember me. No one who is missed by me will be happy. Hahaha." Hearing Guo Feng's smirk and stingy voice, Wang Bin felt numb all over.

"Mr. Wang and Liao Mining Supervisor have worked with each other for many years. Do you have any understanding of him?"

"Yes, yes, you have some understanding. This person is an expert in mining, smelting, and casting of weapons. He has always benefited from Yizhou City. That is, it is..."

"It's just a little greedy for money, right?" Yun Zhao said lightly: "Mr. Wang County, how much property do you have?"

Facing Yun Zhao's sudden question, Wang Bin was stunned at first, and then said, "The lower-ranking officials live in the county government office. They do not have real estate in Guangchang, and they rely on their salary to live." After a pause, they said with shame: "Of course, their subordinates often give me some money, and merchants are also filial to each other during the holidays."

Yun Zhao nodded with a smile, "This is what is appropriate in the question, and it's nothing, but Lord Wang knows how much property Liao Dade has?"

"This? Lord Liao is much richer than Xiaguan. His position is a fat man!"

Yun Zhao smiled, "It's indeed a fat man, but look at it, Lord Wang, maybe you will be shocked."
