Chapter 227 Qualified Man
After Jiang Chen received the supplies sent by the Seven Mountains and Forty-Nine Villages.
The measures in the three counties of Jibei, Lingbei and Qingquan were finally implemented.
Looking at the reports sent in from all over the three counties, Jiang Chen and Gongsun Liang were grinning so hard that they could hardly stop grinning.
"My lord, all the food and fodder stored in the three counties has been secretly placed in the secret granary."
After finishing the report, Gongsun Liang bowed to Jiang Chen and said.
Hearing the news, Jiang Chen smiled and nodded.
"Yes, with the guarantee of these food and grass, the next step is weapons and equipment."
Jiang Chen said, rubbing his head.
Although the food and fodder had been collected in sufficient quantities as planned, the problem of weapons and equipment had not been resolved.
In fact, for Jiang Chen, what he needs most now are armor and weapons.
Without exception, all of these things require a large amount of iron ore to support them.
So, in addition to the iron mine taken out by the Seven Mountains and Forty-Nine Villages.
Jiang Chen also obtained three iron mines by confiscating merchants who were smuggling ironware in the three counties.
But having three iron mines is far from enough!
Even if there is plenty of iron ore, it will be useless if there are not enough blacksmiths to forge it.
In response to this situation, Jiang Chen and Gongsun Liang became busy again.
Fortunately, after mobilizing all the blacksmiths in the three counties, this problem was solved well.
With the addition of Jiang Chen's two smelting methods: "steel frying method" and "steel pouring method".
This batch of weapons and armor made by the blacksmith did not have any quality problems.
Jiang Chen's original idea was just to distribute the equipment made using the new method to the 30,000 soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Camp.
However, as the number of soldiers under his command increased, Jiang Chen had no choice but to change his strategy.
First, replace all the equipment of the soldiers in the Tiger and Leopard Camp, and then give these equipment to the 30,000 new recruits.
Then, as time goes by, all the soldiers' weapons and equipment will be replaced.
As for the discarded weapons, armor and swords, they were equipped to the soldiers who settled in the fields.
Just as the situation on Jiang Chen's side was gradually stabilizing, at this time in Canglang country.
After the Left Wise King Hanermo and Ahamu, who became the regent with the assistance of Gerle, issued a wanted order for Princess Cangtong.
In every city and village of Canglang Kingdom, troops can be seen everywhere searching for the whereabouts of Princess Cangtong.
In a small border town close to the Xia Kingdom, a team of soldiers were searching house to house.
Looking at the soldiers approaching outside the window, the two young men in the room couldn't help but become nervous.
"Miss, they are about to search here, we have to leave here quickly."
The two young men turned and spoke to a cloaked figure.
"I understand. Let's go!"
The cloaked figure said, slowly standing up.
The figure arrived near the city gate under the escort of two young men.
After taking out a few bulging money bags and handing them over to the soldiers guarding the city gate, the three of them successfully left the city.
After leaving the city gate, the three did not stay for long, but galloped all the way.
It was not until the three of them arrived in the territory of Xia State that they found an inn to stay in with peace of mind.
"You two, just go down first. I'll call you if anything happens."
After checking into the reserved guest room, the cloaked figure spoke to the two young men.
"Yes, ma'am."
As the two young men walked into the guest room next door, the figure closed the door.
After closing the door, the figure slowly took off the cloak he had been wearing.
"Han Ermo, you are really my good uncle..."
At the same time, in the upper capital of the Canglang Kingdom.
Gerle brought Ahamu into the bedroom of Tomu Khan.
"The Khan is inside, Aham, you can go in by yourself."
After saying that, Gerle disappeared from the spot, leaving Aham alone.
After hesitating for a moment, Ahamu walked towards the bedroom.
After entering the bedroom, Ahamu felt a hint of coldness.
Feeling the chill, Ahamu couldn't help but shiver.
"Strange, Xanadu is always hot, but why is Father Khan's chamber so cold!?"
As he spoke, Ahamu couldn't help but become confused.
However, when he reached the deepest part of the bedroom, he suddenly froze in place!
Following his gaze, I saw that the bed that was originally placed here had disappeared.
Instead, there was a coffin made of ice!
And lying in the coffin was the deceased Takumu Khan!
Looking at his father lying in the coffin as if he was asleep, Ahamu suddenly burst into tears.
"Father Khan!!"
Ahamu staggered to the ice coffin and knelt down on the ground in despair.
Looking at the heartbroken Aham, Gerle's figure slowly appeared beside him.
"Ahamu, stop crying and stand up!"
Gerle was so disappointed with Ahamu that he shouted at him.
Hearing Gerle's scolding, Aham wiped away his tears instantly and dared not cry anymore.
"Ahamu, you are my disciple."
"But I don't remember what I taught you, just keep crying here!"
Although Aham stopped crying, his tears still continued to flow.
Seeing this scene, Gerle said nothing more and directly took out an imperial edict.
"Listen to the will your father Khan left you!"
"I know that my time is running out, so I have left this will."
"After this Khan returns to the embrace of Changshengtian, the position of the Khan of the Canglang Kingdom will be passed to him!"
"It will be handed over to my son Ahamu to inherit, and as for my daughter Cangtong, she will be exiled to the Western Desert."
"If Cang Tong has any rebellious intentions, he will be charged with treason!"
After reading the contents of the will, Gerle threw it in front of Aham with all his might.
"Ahamu, if you still have a little bit of filial piety!"
"Hurry up and cheer me up! The Khan of the Canglang Nation does not need soft goods!"
After listening to Gerle's scolding and teachings, Aham lowered his head.
After thinking deeply in his heart, Aham stopped crying.
After wiping the tears from his face, Ahamu stood up and spoke to Gerle.
"Uncle Gerle, thank you for your teachings."
"I, Aham, will never let my father Khan and you down!"
Seeing the determined look on Ahamu's face, Gerle nodded with satisfaction.
Just like that, under the expectations of his father before his death and Gerle's earnest teachings.
Ahamu finally grew into a qualified man overnight!
After Aham had been regent for ten days, Gerle announced the news of Tomu Khan's death.
