(Today I'm going to slap my old book friend Ye Hua and Grass first, haha!) First of all, let's talk about the issue of letting one and fighting for one, whether it is letting or fighting, it is all about capital, without this stage, what do you fight? Li Ze does have a small asset, but now compared with his brother, the gap is that of a person with millions of assets, if he wants to compete with Wang Sicong, do you want him to die faster? Of course, our protagonist will definitely be on the throne, and the most interesting thing is not this process? Brother, you have been predicting my plot for the past few years, but I proudly say that you haven't guessed it right, so the plot you predicted later to let the father let the brother is naturally wrong. Let me smirk a few more times. Finally, I love you, brother, don't you have a lot of meat? Every time you leave a message, it will inspire me to create!)

Yang Kai left happily.

Hugging a thick thigh, the benefits are really extraordinary. The problem that has plagued him for several days, in Li Ze's place, it doesn't seem to be a problem, the tax increase of 20,000 guan, Li Ze took out 5,000 guan in one go, which made him greatly relieved. In his opinion, Li Ze's contribution is just a financial operation from his left hand to his right hand, but for him, it is not only a matter of official hats, but also a problem of examining the performance of the upper peak. Thinking that his colleagues in other counties must be anxious now, his heart is not only secretly happy.

Is this a problem for Li Ze to ask him for twenty armor tools? For giving the armor of the county's arsenal to other people, of course, it is a serious problem that cannot be more serious, but is there a problem with giving it to Li Ze and Li Gongzi? Of course not.

The government does not prohibit the common people from owning knives and guns, prohibits crossbows and bows, and the management of crossbows and armor is indeed very strict, and any private person who has more than 10 pairs of armor can constitute the crime of rebellion. In a county in Wuyi, there are only 20 pairs of armor, which shows that armor is indeed a very rare thing.

Li Ze's son, Li Anguo, is a dignified envoy of virtue and moderation, with jurisdiction over four states and twenty-five counties, and the number of soldiers under his control is only 3,000.

Sending Yang Kai away, Li Ze sighed in his heart, the troubled times finally rolled in with an unstoppable momentum, Zhang Zhongwu was like that butterfly, flapping his wings and making the entire Tang Empire shake. Or this turmoil has not yet affected the rest of the empire, but in the north of the empire, the major powers have already heard the news.

In the Chengde area under the control of Li Anguo, because of his own strategy of keeping Chengcheng, or not wanting to forge ahead, the whole situation is still very stable, and the government also pays more attention to people's livelihood, so the life of the common people is quite passable, but in areas like Lulong and other areas, the life of the common people is hard. Zhang Zhongwu desperately expanded the armament war, so that the major knots around him were like thorns in the back, and he had to move to strengthen his military strength, like the Henghai side, which had actually forced the people to riot.

But that's just the beginning.

As you can imagine, as time goes on, as the war officially begins, the situation will only get worse than it is now. Standing in the courtyard, thinking for a long time with the flying snowflakes, Li Ze found Tu Lichun and Yu Sheng.

"How many people can we pull out of our Zhuangzi if there is a need?" Li Ze question.

Tu Lichun was stunned, but immediately reacted to what Li Ze asked.

"Childe, our Zhuangzi, including all the tenants, has a total of 835 strong laborers over the age of fifteen and under the age of 60, of which 35 have combat experience, and they are all the guards of the Zhuangzi."

"Fifteen to fifty years old!" Li Ze waved his hand, he didn't want to see the white-haired old man appearing on the battlefield with a knife and gun.

"That's nearly two hundred less." Tu Lichun said, over fifteen years old and under sixty years old, which is also the age limit for the entire Tang Dynasty conscription.

"Then there are more than 600 people, plus hundreds of people in our secret camp, if something really happens, it will not be completely powerless to resist." Li Ze muttered: "Datang implements the government military system, why don't we tenants have battlefield experience?" ”

Tu Lichun said with a smile: "Gongzi, the government soldiers, refers to those yeoman farmers, or the sons of good families, like tenants are attached to the master's family, and there is no roster in the government at all, how can they be included in the government soldier system?" Moreover, in the past ten years, the world has been relatively calm, we have become virtuous, the lord is even more well-governed, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and even bandits are about to disappear. ”

"If you are warlike, you will be in danger, and if you forget to fight, you will die!" Li Ze waved his arm vigorously, "Now that the snow is falling, there is no work to do at home, it is not enough to just stay at home and cats in winter, Lichun, you, organize these school-age people for me for military training." ”

Tu Lichun looked at Li Ze a little sluggishly, and only after a long time did he say, "That son, how far do you want to train them?" ”

Li Ze touched his chin and thought for a while before saying: "At least you must understand the basic military orders, some basic queues, and basic offensive and defensive tactics, but you don't dare to go on the battlefield, the enemy shouts, and there is a rain of arrows, they turn around and run or pee their pants directly." ”

"Yes. I'll arrange this matter right away, and tomorrow, Childe can see the military training officially begin. Tu Lichun said cleanly.

"Okay." What Li Ze is most satisfied with is Tu Lichun's neatness. "Chu Sheng, have you already put the first batch of supplies back from Second Master Tu?"

"Yes, the first batch of ten horses came, and they were all good horses. There were also ten carts of wagons and a cart of cow tendons. Yu Sheng said: "The person who delivered the goods said that before the Chinese New Year, there should be a batch of materials back. ”

"Organize manpower, our workshop will turn all these skins into leather armor and boots for me this winter, and all the cow tendons will be turned into bowstrings, and more people will be arranged on the iron mill side, not to mention anything else, at least one spearhead must be prepared by one person." Li Zedao.

"Childe, this needs to organize the families of those tenants."

"Of course, there is some work here, and it doesn't take much effort, I remember that there are several old people who are good at making leather armor!" Li Ze nodded: "Transfer another batch of cotton cloth from Yixingtang, come over with cotton, and prepare some more cotton clothes, head coverings, gloves and the like." ”

"Yes!"

Tu Lichun and Zhen Sheng said goodbye and left, but Li Ze still felt that there were still many things that had not been arranged, but he couldn't remember anything for a while, and he walked around the house for a while before he figured it out.

I'm in a hurry!

The torrent of history has been rolling in, time is not waiting, seize the day, but unfortunately, what you can do now is very limited, if there is still a few years to spare, then you will be able to be more prepared.

"Master, this winter, there will be a deficit in the Zhuangzi again." Xia He appeared in front of Li Ze with the account book, sketching and drawing on it, "According to the master's orders, these thousands of people will eat and drink the master's this winter, and those who are shameless will definitely bring all the milk dolls of several years old to eat." ”

"How many milk dolls can you eat?" Li Ze looked at Xia He, who was like a miser, funny, "Ye is not going to be eaten by them, you should think like this, give these milk dolls a bite to eat, their old sons and mothers will be more energetic to work, right?" Let's just do this, Xia He, when the time comes, you can arrange a literate girl to take these milk dolls to study, and let them know a few words, so that they don't run around and make Zhuangzi a miasma. ”

"Ye is really kind-hearted, he cares about eating and drinking, and he cares about their reading and literacy!"

"It's not kindness, it's a management strategy. You can't do anything that asks the horses to run and doesn't give them grazing. Li Zedao. Besides, this winter, Second Master Tu is showing his skills, maybe between this in and out, we can earn more than in previous years. ”

"Is there really a riot over there? We're only separated from them by a big green mountain, so they won't really come, will they? But the snow should be about to close the mountain, and they should not be able to come. Xia He was a little worried.

"People, they are forced to be in a hurry, any miracle can be created, not to mention that it is snowing, even if it is a knife, in order to ask for a bite to eat, they dare to come out." Li Ze muttered.

He had a hunch in his heart that trouble must be indispensable.
