Chapter 131

  "Tan Yi is wandering in the alien world, and also wandering. Capable members please go to support Dao Ge, the more supporters there are, the faster Dao Ge will update! The more people who support him, the less worried he will be when writing!"

  "Alright, let the person outside wait for a moment, I'll go out right away!" Tang Yin also wanted to know how much loot he had brought back this time.

  "Yes! Sir!" Tang Zhong responded and turned around to walk out.

  Waiting for him to leave, Tang Yin picked up a coat and put it on, smiled at Fan Min and said: "Xiao Min, you also come with me to take a look!"

  "Alright!" Fan Min agreed without hesitation. Even if Tang Yin didn't invite her, she would have wanted to follow him voluntarily, not to see the barbarian supplies, but mainly to stay by Tang Yin's side.

  The military depot is located in the northeast of Hengcheng, not far from the barracks. Most of the military equipment, grain and materials of the Pingyuan Army are stored here, with strict defense and heavy troops guarding it.

  When Tang Yan and Fan Min arrived, Qiu Zhen and Xiao Muqing were waiting in the courtyard. Seeing Tang Yan approaching, the two of them quickly stepped forward to greet him, bowing deeply and saying: "Sir!" Then, Xiao Muqing politely said to Fan Min: "Miss Fan."

  Xiao Muqing was a clever person. Although he didn't know the exact relationship between Fan Min and Tang Yin, Fan Min lived in Tang Yin's house, so their friendship must be deep. Moreover, Fan Min had a strong family background, so Xiao Muqing didn't dare to be too rude.

  Tang Yin nodded at the two of them and asked, "Have all the spoils of war been sorted out?"

  "Yes, sir!" Qiu Zhen handed over the account book for Tang Yin to review.

  The latter took over, glanced at it slightly, and recorded the detailed details and quantity of the materials looted back this time. After looking for a while, Tang Yan raised his head and said, "Go inside and take a look!"

  At this time, various materials have been sorted and neatly stacked in the military warehouse.

  Tang Yin opened a small box at random and found it was full of copper coins from the Besa City-State. He picked up a handful and said, "These things can only be melted down."

  Qiu Zhen shook his head and said: "Sir, if we don't need the money urgently now, I think it's better to leave these silver and copper coins here for the time being."

  "Why?" Tang Yin asked in doubt: "What's the use of staying here?"

  "Now I'm not sure either, but we can't be fighting with the barbarians for the rest of our lives. Maybe someday we'll find a use for these things." Qiu Zhen said calmly.

  Tang Yin didn't think much of it, but he also didn't insist on his own opinion. He still valued Qiu Zhen's views very much, as what she said always made some sense. He shrugged and said, "Whatever you like!"

  "Haha!" Qiu Zhen laughed, but Xiao Miaoqing couldn't laugh. Tang Yin and Qiu Zhen's relationship was too deep, which could be felt from their conversation and behavior. Although he was confident in his abilities compared to Qiu Zhen, taking his place wouldn't be an easy task.

  Tang Yin made another round of inspection on the weapons and armor, finally stopping in front of the ornament of the Viscountcy of Pesa.

  The ornaments of the Besa city-state are mostly made of copper or silver, with various shapes and patterns on their surfaces, which look quite delicate, all of which have been carefully carved by craftsmen.

  Tang Yin picked up a wine cup and turned to ask Fan Min, "Xiao Min, can these barbarian things be sold?" As for the barbarians, Feng Ren was both hateful and fearful, and naturally, their things were not likable either. Whether they could be sold or not, he had no confidence in his heart.

  Fan Min was born with a clever and resourceful nature, and came from a family of merchants, so he naturally possessed the mind and vision of a businessman.

  She took the wine cup from Tang Yan's hand, turned it over and examined it carefully, then smiled. She handed the cup back to Tang Yan and said: "This kind of thing can't be sold in Pingyuan County, and no one dares to buy or use it. However, if you take it to Yancheng, those high-ranking officials will pay a lot of money for it."

  "Oh?" Tang Yin's eyes lit up upon hearing this, Qiu Zhen and Xiao Muqing also gained spirit, their eyes fixed unblinkingly on Fan Min.

  Fan Min explained with a smile: "Things are precious because they are rare! The things from the barbarian countries are very rare, and the officials and nobles all like rare things. They buy them back to display at home to show off their status. Moreover, the barbarians are fierce and powerful, and the rich and wealthy in the city have a vague sense of reverence for the barbarians. Being able to get war spoils from the barbarians is a very glorious thing, enough to make them show off everywhere. So, these things are worthless in Pingyuan County, but if they are transported to Yancheng or other vassal states, they will definitely sell well."

  Goodness! After hearing this, the people around couldn't help but look at Fan Min with new eyes, and Tang Yin was no exception. Indeed, as a child of a wealthy merchant family, she had a unique perspective, a sharp mind, and her analysis was logical and well-reasoned, making her a born entrepreneur.

  Qiu Zhen asked again: "Can the slaves of the barbarians be sold for a good price in Yancheng?"

  "Of course!" Fan Min said affirmatively: "It can be sold for about two to three times the normal slave price."

  Tang Yin was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "Xiao Min, please trouble someone to transport these barbarian decorations to Yancheng. If they can be sold, sell them; if not, don't force it. At the very least, after melting them down, we can turn them into copper or silver."

  Fan Min shook her head and smiled, saying confidently: "It won't be like that, you should trust my judgment."

  Tang Yin looked at Fan Min, and his heart also moved. When it came to business matters, Fan Min immediately transformed from a little woman into a shrewd businesswoman, more charming and radiant. Such a woman would captivate anyone, and Tang Yin was no exception.

  The spoils of war from the Beast King's City brought a bountiful harvest to the Plains Army, and the refined steel extracted from the weapons and armor alone made up for the military's deficiencies, allowing the new recruits of the Plains Army to be equipped with brand-new weapons. The grain and fodder that were retrieved also entered the granary of the Plains Army.

  As for the ornaments of the barbarian countries, they were found by Fan Min and transported to Yancheng by the servants of the Fan family for sale. The effect was unexpectedly good, and the spoils of war from the barbarian countries were very popular in Yancheng. Not only did the kings and nobles compete to buy them, but even the merchants of other vassal states spent a lot of money to collect them and bring them back to their own countries for sale.

  Five boxes of barbarian decorations were sold out on the third day after arriving in Yancheng, which was beyond everyone's expectation. The five boxes of spoils of war exchanged for a full 200,000 taels of white silver, making the treasury of Pingyuan County even more abundant.

  The barbarians' weapons, armor and grain can be used for oneself, the barbarians' ornaments and slaves can be exchanged for a large sum of money. Tang Yin finally experienced the strong military way of plundering, and the sneak attack on the barbarian cities and towns was further implemented.

  For days, the Pingyuan army has been relying on the mobility of the Mo Guo war horses to repeatedly invade the Besa territory, launching surprise attacks on the towns and villages of Besa everywhere. The more spoils they get, the stronger the Pingyuan army becomes, and the larger the number of war horses they buy, making their raids even more frequent.

  This is a virtuous circle for the Plains Army, which gets a large amount of supplies and money, and also allows the army to be tempered in continuous battles, making the people of Pingyuan County greatly reduce their fear of the barbarians. For the city-state of Beisa, this is undoubtedly a vicious circle, a nightmare that makes people feel like sitting on pins and needles.

  It has always been the Besa city-state that attacks and plunders neighboring countries. When was it ever bullied by another country like this?

  For the frequent invasion of the Pingyuan army, the Besa city-state also sent a large force to intercept, but at this time, the intelligence organization led by Yue Tian played a role, accurately reporting the movement of the barbarian troops to Tang Yan. Tang Yan immediately changed his attack route, avoiding the heavy troops of the barbarian state and continuing to attack the barbarian towns.

  Failed to intercept, Besa retreated and sought secondary, setting up heavy troops in some towns to ambush, waiting for the Wind Army to attack, surrounded and annihilated. At this time, the intelligence organization led by Ai Jia played a role again, and at the first time, it fed back the intelligence of the barbarian town, allowing Tang Yin to clearly understand the pros and cons of the opponent.

  It can be said that the two intelligence departments, Rakuten and Aika, played a crucial role in the smooth invasion of the Pingyuan Army, allowing the Pingyuan Army cavalry to roam freely in the Besa territory, unimpeded, coming and going as they pleased, as if entering an uninhabited land.

  The transformation of the Plains Army from being passive to active once again verifies the saying 'the best defense is offense'. The Besa City-State was busy dealing with the invasion of the Plains Army, and the harassment of the Wind Country's territory had ceased. The continuous battles did not make the Plains County decline, but instead became more stable, and the entire county gradually prospered. Even the previously desolate border town now had residents and merchants.

  At first, Tang Yin also personally participated in the sneak attack, but after following a few times, he felt that the battles were all very easy, so he no longer accompanied the army on the expedition, and instead assigned the battalion commanders of the five battalions to take turns.

  His principle is to attack, attack and attack again, forcing the opponent to make mistakes with continuous attacks, so that his side can seize the opportunity and gain more benefits.

  The Pingyuan Army had 80,000 soldiers. In the entire Tianyuan Commandery and even in all of Fengguo, it was considered one of the counties with the most troops. During the continuous battles against Besa, almost every soldier in the Pingyuan Army had a chance to go into battle formation, and the soldiers were generally well-trained, with extremely strong combat effectiveness, which was comparable to that of the Salt City Wang's directly affiliated army.

  The Pingyuan Army was also the most loyal and strongest fighting force of Tang's later years.

  While plundering the spoils of war from Besa, he also petitioned King Wang for rewards and obtained them, adding to the local taxes of Pingyuan County, making the county treasury increasingly rich. The accumulated grain and fodder can not only support 800,000 troops but also 1 million people.

  During this period, it should be the most relaxed and comfortable time for Tang Yan in Pingyuan County. Life is no longer as tense as before, and there are fewer things to do. The whole person has become more leisurely, and exchanges with the generals under his command have also increased.

  In the past, Pingyuan County was in a state of great difficulty. Tang Yin was busy from dawn till dusk and rarely chatted with his subordinates except for official business. But now it's different, he can spare time to go hunting, have fun, eat and drink with everyone.

  On the battlefield, fighting side by side can foster brotherly feelings, and drinking together is no exception. As Tang Yin interacted more with his generals, their relationship became increasingly close, to the point where they could address each other as brothers in private.

  That day, Tang Yin, Qiu Zhen, Xiao Muzheng, Zhang Zhou and other several battalion commanders went out to hunt.

  On archery, Tang Yin was not particularly skilled, but he wasn't bad either. After a whole afternoon, he also reaped a rich harvest. The crowd brought their own game back to the largest wine house in Heng City for dinner.

  The wine house was called Jibin Building, opened by Fan Min. Tang Yin and others were regular customers. With the identity of the crowd being different from ordinary people, and with Fan Min's relationship, the shopkeeper naturally welcomed them warmly.

  Hand over all the game to the shopkeeper, and then everyone sat down in the private room on the second floor one after another.
