"Greetings to the Prime Minister!" Heshen said.

"No need to be polite, give me a seat!" Li Gao said.

"Thank you, Prime Minister!" Heshen bowed.

"Let's go down and guard the door. No one is allowed to enter without the summons of the true minister!" Li Gao ordered.

"Okay!" A group of yamen runners and officials left quickly.

At this time, only Li Gao and Heshen were left in the house. Li Gao did not rush to speak because Li Gao knew that this person must have something to ask for him.

"The country is compatible, and the grass-roots people come this time to serve my son." Heshen said.

"Oh? Who is your son?" Li Gao asked.

"You are the prime minister of the country. My son is the descendant of King Yi of Jiangdu, with his surname Liu and his name is Lang." Heshen said neither humble nor arrogantly.

"It turns out that he is a relative of the Han Dynasty, and this person has also heard of it." Li Gao looked like he suddenly realized it. In fact, he didn't know where Liu Lang came from.

After racking his brains and thinking for a long time, Li Gao remembered who Liu Lang was, but his understanding of Liu Lang was limited to the identity of the Han clan, but I couldn't remember it at all.

Liu Lang was ignorant of the world and had never had any contact with Li Gao. It is reasonable to have a low sense of existence.

"My son has been respecting the prime minister for a long time, but the prince has been studying hard in the mountains and cannot come to pay homage to the prime minister, so he asked the Caomin to come and present a gift to the prime minister." Heshen said.

"So that's it." Li Gao said with a caress.

"But I wonder what your son needs help from me?" Li Gao paused, and then said.

Although Li Gao has no ability, he still understands the basic principle of not receiving money without merit.

"My son presented a gift to the prime minister of the country, just to make good friends with the prime minister of the country, and he had no desires." Heshen said.

"I will not receive any reward without merit! If there is no point in taking care of me, how could I accept such a generous gift?" Li Gao shook his head and said.

"The Prime Minister is really as noble as my son said, and the people admire him very much." Heshen complimented.

In the following time, Heshen flattered, and Li Gao finally accepted the gift "reluctantly".

That night, Heshen drank a lot of wine, and Li Gao even called Heshen a brother. The two of them were good and wearing a pair of pants.

At the banquet, Li Gao, who was enjoying himself, asked Heshen to come and go more often in the future, and he made an open and secret promise to Heshen that he would have something to do in Changshan. He could do it with no other words.

Although the words at the dinner table are not true, Li Gao's attitude has shown that Heshen's purpose has been achieved.

Although there are reasons for gifts, the success of the event is closely related to Heshen's performance and the wine table culture.

The wine table culture has a long history, as is the case in the Eastern Han Dynasty and modern times.

The next day, Heshen, who left the Prime Minister's Mansion, returned to the mansion and began to focus on building the mountain grounds.

Since Changshan borders Bingzhou, Liu Lang quickly led his team into Bingzhou.

After arriving in Bingzhou, Liu Lang had half of his men left in the inn. After all, silver notes have not yet been released these days, and the only currency in circulation is gold and Wuzhu coins. With so much gold, he naturally cannot be out of the market. After all, he is not afraid of thieves stealing but also afraid of thieves thinking about it.

After repeatedly asking for caution, Liu Lang took the rest of his subordinates to start a journey to find horse dealers.

There is no large-scale market here, so the vendors are also scattered, which undoubtedly makes it more difficult for Liu Lang to buy horses.

After searching for more than half a month, Liu Lang only bought nearly a hundred war horses, but he bought them from more than a dozen different horse dealers.

After all, a war horse is worth nearly 3,000 yuan. It is difficult for horse dealers without certain strength to buy war horses on a large scale. After all, this thing requires too much capital, and the market is not so prosperous.

On this day, Liu Lang bought ten Xiliang war horses from a horse dealer.

This horse dealer is quite capable. Seeing that Liu Lang was still a little impressed, he whispered to Liu Lang: "Young Master, do you want to buy a large number of war horses?"

Liu Lang nodded and said, "That's right, do you have a good place to tell me?"

The horse dealer whispered: "I wonder how many more war horses the young master needs?"

Liu Lang replied: "The more you have, the better, I can eat as much as you have."

After hearing this, the horse dealer said, "That's true. The villain has a good place to tell the young master. To be honest, the villain's war horses were bought from here."

Liu Langxi said: "Oh? Come on!"

"Young Master, look?" The horse dealer rubbed his hands.

Liu Lang was happy after seeing this. Do you want the benefits? No problem. As long as you can buy enough war horses, why not give you some benefits?

"How is the price of three war horses?" Liu Lang said.

"Thank you, young master!" said the horse dealer happily.

After giving the horse dealer five thousand coins, the horse dealer happily led Liu Lang and his party to a horse farm.

On the way, the horse dealer introduced: "Young master, as far as the villain knows, there are more than a thousand war horses here."

After hearing this, Liu Lang nodded and said, "Okay! If the breed is excellent, I will have all these more than a thousand war horses!"

Liu Lang, who came from later generations, knew the importance of cavalry in this era. It is no exaggeration to say that a well-trained and well-equipped cavalry unit is definitely a bug-like existence in this cold weapon era.

Fighting in plains is absolutely impossible without cavalry.

Raising cavalry is like playing with cars in later generations. Both of them are burning money to the death. People eat horses and chew every day, and people who don’t have some strength can’t play at all, so they can easily accidentally get rid of themselves.

But with Heshen, Liu Lang doesn't have to worry about money for the time being.

Therefore, Liu Lang’s current idea is to buy, the more you get, the better.

After arriving at the horse farm, the horse dealer told the owner of the horse farm that Liu Lang was coming. The owner of the horse farm was shocked when he heard this. It was the first time that he had seen such a wealthy and powerful person in the years of running the horse farm!

Buy a thousand war horses in one go, and look at the entire Bingzhou, there is no such strong horse dealer!

The owner of the horse farm did not think much, but thought that Liu Lang was a horse dealer from other prefectures and counties.

After some bargaining, Liu Lang purchased a thousand war horses at a price of 2,500 yuan per horse and transported them back to Changshan in batches.

...

In more than a month, all the war horses purchased by Liu Lang had arrived in Changshan. Since they were transported in batches, they did not attract much attention.

As of this time, 2,500 guards have been recruited, and the construction of the mountain site has been basically completed.

It is inevitable that the site is simple, after all, the number of people is limited, and this matter should not be done with great fanfare. It can only be further built after a new batch of nursing homes joins.

Under Liu Lang's instruction, Li Yuanfang recruited more than 3,000 guards. After careful selection, he finally left behind 2,700 people.

At this time, the number of guards under Liu Lang's men had soared to 3,200. Liu Lang left 200 people to guard the house, and the remaining 3,000 were divided into 1,000 cavalry and 2,000 infantrymen, and went to the mountain to conduct secret training.
