Zhang Shi doesn't know why Liu Yan chose ran min. among the officials of the later Zhao court, ran min is definitely not the most powerful one, nor the one with the most status.

In the court of the late Zhao Dynasty, the identity of the Capricorn is the premise of "nobility". Many key positions are held by the Capricorn, even if the Capricorn has no other talent except blood.

As a "national race", Capricorn people have no talent to occupy a high position. With talent, they will be greatly used. As long as there is an official position and identity, it is a very simple thing to want talent effectiveness. From Zhang Shi's point of view, ran min really does not have the value of attracting at a huge cost.

It is very simple to say that Liu Yan wants to choose the people from Jin nationality as the back of the mountain. Li Nong may not be higher in position than ran min. but Li Nong and many people can talk, and Li Nong seems to be more likely to "feed" the appearance.

Yes, in Zhang Shi's senses, ran min is too greedy. It doesn't mean anything. At present, as long as he can be an official and has status, everyone will be greedy. Zhang Shi's so-called greed is that he feels that ran min seems to have made a big plan? Of course, it's just Zhang Shi's feeling. There's no definite evidence.

Contact with Jiang Gan does not mean that things will be settled. Zhang Shi still needs to contact a considerable number of families. It is entirely an attitude that although he is fat, he can choose who will take him away.

"Yes, there is a lot of publicity, but that's what the king ordered." In fact, the pressure in Zhang Shi's heart is great. He feels that he can't cope with the situation: "I really hope... To attract talents that can be used!"

To paraphrase the words of later generations, Zhang Shi wanted to attract talents, but "ran and Mao", truly talented people would not pay attention to a seemingly local Hu tribe.

"My subordinates don't understand..." Wang Cong looked confused: "the rest chose salt. Why did Xiucheng Hou touch the weapon?"

What he said is that even if he wants to take advantage of selling weapons on behalf of others, at present, only ran min proposes to sell weapons on behalf of others. It seems that there is no guarantee at all, and there is no talk about cash on delivery, how much money should be, which makes people confused about what it means.

"I know a little why you chose Xiucheng Hou." According to his own understanding, Zhang Shi said: "Xiucheng Hou Yizi's identity is one of them. The second is the origin of Jin people. The most important thing is Xiucheng hou... Has desire, a desire that the king likes to see."

Wang Cong was obviously confused, but those little people like him were not qualified to interfere, so he had to say, "Xiangping County Public..."

"The time is coming." Zhang Shi looked up at the sky and said, "then go."

The Duke of Xiangping County said Yao Gezhong. Of course, Yao Gezhong would not meet Zhang Shi himself. Zhang Shi is far from important. It's like that although ran min hopes that the Han ministry can be used for himself, ran min will not personally meet Zhang Shi.

What represents Yao Gezhong is a white fat man, not a Capricorn, but a western region Hu. Should it be a hybrid Hu of Qiang and western regions?

By the way, the Qiang people can't be regarded as a branch of the Qiang people, but Yao Gezhong can't manage so much in the current era of paying attention to nationality. He is the leader of the Qiang people's Congress in the northwest region. Anyone who can get in touch with the Qiang people will be drawn into his own camp.

"... the requirements are not high. 300 weapons at one time, and the previous grievances are written off." Ma Xinyuan is his name. He looks simple and honest with a smile: "later, we will account for 30% of your department for the transaction of fixed weapons and salt, and we will clear up the wealth and goods every time."

It's really magnanimous. The Yao family showed their magnanimity. They didn't care about Yao Yimai's war with the Han Dynasty. They were directly aligned with the interests.

"What does Xiangping county official mean?" Be careful with Zhang Shi. He can quarrel with people like Jiang Gan and show his demeanor to Jiang Gan, but he can't do with a miscellaneous Hu like Ma Xinyuan.

The place where they met was a famous wine shop in Xiangguo, with high consumption, but everything was provided, but the environment was a little noisy. Just because some elegant rooms are only provided to senior officials or "national races", no matter how rich others are, they can only choose separate lobby seats.

Ma Xinyuan is eating beef, which makes his mouth greasy. He was too lazy to answer Zhang Shi. What do you mean, Yao Gezhong? Even if it is really Yao Gezhong's meaning, although the Han Dynasty shows a not simple side and has the value of attracting and using, at Yao Gezhong's level, unless it is the prince's level, who has the courage to ask if Yao Gezhong's own opinion.

"Don't bargain with me." Ma Xinyuan showed an impatient attitude, put down the unfinished beef, picked up the cup, poured a few mouthfuls of grape wine, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and said, "that's a condition you must accept."

Zhang Shi smiled and said, "I'll tell my master."

"If Liu Yan were smart, he would agree." Ma Xinyuan straightened his stomach, seemed to burp, and disdain appropriately appeared on his face: "another thing, if your leader is smart enough to select 500 elite and 1500 leading soldiers and wait for my childe to receive them, they will be taken to northern Xinjiang to participate in the war against Duan Xianbei or Tuoba Xianbei."

This time Zhang Shi couldn't even disguise. First he was stunned, then he was shocked.

Trade belongs to trade, but sending troops to accept command is complete refuge. There is a huge difference in the sense. If the Han sent troops to understand the command of the Yao family's children, they would be immediately included in the Yao family camp. At that time, countless troubles might be reduced, but new troubles must appear.

Zhang Shi is thinking. If his intelligence is correct, ran min belongs to Shi Jian. Who does Yao Gezhong belong to? It seems that there is no special attribution. The attitude shown is loyalty to Shi Hu?

"Make a fuss!" Ma Xinyuan's disdain didn't hide at all: "Lord Yan was ordered to fight against him. There are many people who want to work. That's my childe. Seeing that the tribal armed forces in your department are good, I'm going to let them show their face."

Zhang Shi immediately recovered. He thought, "no wonder the Yao family exposed the war so easily."

Zhang Shi certainly didn't dare to promise to send troops to work, but Ma Xinyuan seemed to have settled on the Han Dynasty. They talked about some unimportant gossip. Finally, Ma Xinyuan left happily with the benefits offered by Zhang Shi.

"So... The Yao family is on Shi Bin's side?" Wang Cong said slightly confused, "but it doesn't look like it?"

Zhang Shi didn't say much. Hu people look at interests and can change their opinions at any time.

Next, it seems to be the peak. Those families who ignored Zhang Shi before have made moves, or talk about interests, accept bribes and friendship, which is to show a strong interest in salt.

"Even the prince turned his eyes..." Zhang Shi smiled bitterly: "things... Are completely out of control!"

Yes, it's out of control. It's like Han became a stone and threw it into the lake. Then there were waves of ripples, and the big fish and small fish began to jump out of the water.

Zhang Shi felt that the one he was loyal to seemed to be playing off. He didn't underestimate the power of stabilizing the supply of weapons, but he didn't seem to pay enough attention to salt.

Yes, salt. People must not eat salt. It will cause various diseases and make people's functions unhealthy.

Someone must have obtained the salt produced in the Han Dynasty from cabinet county. It's rough. Needless to say, but who has seen the snow-white salt like fine sand?

Rough salt must be the mainstream. The benefits of salt are unimaginable. After all, there are really not many places where salt is produced in houzhao. It is not that having a coastline means salt production. As a result, except that some people pay more attention to eating salt, more families use salty things instead.

"The situation... Is beyond my control." Zhang Shi's careful liver was shaking. He shook his lips and said to Wang Cong, "be ready. Go back to see you tomorrow and tell you the whole situation."

Wang Cong knew about what was going on and saluted very carefully: "don't worry about the steward. Cong will report to you exactly!"
