Facing Li Yuan's question, Liu Mu replied:

"Father, there are 30,000 veterans in the Beiya Siwei, and less than 50,000 with new recruits. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 But these 50,000 people are really on duty every day, that is, less than 20,000, and they are still half-soldiers and half-farmers. Do you always think that my 800 dings, can they still go to farming? ”

Li Yuan thought for a while and nodded: "This is reasonable, don't say that it is the eight hundred, even the alternative 1,600 people to farm is a waste, this kind of elite is almost practicing every day." ”

"Please allow my father to choose another 10,000 candidates, of which 1,600 are the main choices." Yanagi bowed down and pleaded.

At this time, Datang was a government military system, and there were almost no professional soldiers. Some professional soldiers, such as Qin Qiong's 3,000 personal soldiers, Qin Wangfu's 3,500 guards, etc., these people are barely professional soldiers, but they don't practice every day.

Seeing that Li Yuan was hesitating, Liu Mu said again: "Father, I went to check the documents of the Ministry of War. At present, there are more than 500 soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, of which there are 266 prefectures in Guannei, which is the circle of Guanzhong, and there are more than 10 prefectures in the rest of the country, and 1 or 2 prefectures in the few. To put it bluntly, all the men around Chang'an should receive some military training and prepare for war. ”

"Yes, that's right." Li Yuan nodded with satisfaction, it is quite good that Liu Mu can see these at this age.

"Then father, is there really only one person who fights the war?"

Faced with Liu Mu's rhetorical question, Li Yuan was also thinking deeply. Wei Wushu and Qin army warriors in the Warring States Period. The Great Han Weiqing and Huo Quai's Great Han Iron Bow Rider. and his second son Li Shimin's Xuanjia cavalry, which is a strong army that wins more with less.

"Father, the weak soldiers are fighting with the wind, and the most suitable thing for them is to collect the corpse."

"It's too hard to say, but you can try. Then I will allow you to pick people in the 12 guards of Nanya, and nearly 400 mansions in Chang'an. I want to see some results next year, where you go and ask your second brother, he has a unique art of war. I secretly gave the marshal of the army a token, and you can choose this marshal by yourself, persuade him to go on the expedition, and prepare grain and grass by yourself. ”

"The retainers have an order." Liu Mu is happy to give a long salute.

When he walked out, Li Yuan asked again: "By the way, you will arrive at the day of the crown next year, how to prepare for the ceremony?" ”

"I didn't think about it, it's good to ask someone to make a crown to wear next year." Yanagi didn't take it seriously.

According to the rules of the Tang Dynasty, men are eighteen for Ding, and there is a crown gift for twenty years old, and the nobles are generally placed in the spring. Liu Mu has now passed his eighteenth birthday, and the turn of the year is the nineteenth year, and spring is just the right time to celebrate the crown.

According to Datang's calculation method, the birthday is the first year plus two for the virtual year, and the birthday is not the first year plus one for the virtual year. Therefore, Liu Mu is now turning over the New Year, which is eighteen years old and nineteen years old, which can be called virtual years old.

Just pick an auspicious day and crown, and put it in spring because the Tang nobles think that the auspicious day in spring is better.

Liu Mu didn't care about the crown when he was in charge.

If you change someone, you will probably be angry, but Li Yuan will not.

Li Yuanle said happily: "Your second brother led the army when he was crowned, and it took several years to fight a dozen times. Until now, he has not taken the table word, but now he is the king of Qin and the general of Tiance, and he can't find a suitable person to take the table word for him, so that's it, my father will give you a small character. ”

The small character is the nickname, and Liu Mu wanted to refuse, because Li Yuan took the level of the small character too second.

Li Jiancheng's small character Bishamen, Li Yuanji's small character Sanhu, I really don't know what it will be called.

Looking at Liu Mu's strange expression, Li Yuan smiled heartily: "Actually, it's good to be called Xiaomu, and the wood of this willow tree is also mature, which is very good." ”

was teased by Li Yuan, which made Liu Mu cry and laugh.

"My dad is a carpenter."

"At the end of the year, your father was named the founding county of the country, and the Ministry of Labor Langzhong. Let also when you and crown the ceremony, the Liu family will open an ancestral hall to enter the genealogy. ”

"Thank you, Father." Yanagi hurriedly thanked him.

After sending Li Yuan to listen to the commentary, Liu Mu did not go to Li Shimin again, he was afraid that Li Shimin would ask him questions, in Liu Mu's own words, people need some little secrets.

accompanied Li Yuan to listen to the last chapter of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and handed over a set of hardcover editions to Li Yuan.

"Yes, that's good. It's a pretty good print. Li Yuan couldn't help but praise.

"If you put your heart into it, you will do it well. Of course, coins need to be spent in place, that is, plates, ink and paper, and several printers have tried for more than half a year, and spent more than a dozen cars of money to achieve results. ”

"I can't praise it, every time I praise you, you can say a lot of hard work." Li Yuan smiled and asked the guard to take the book, and then ordered: "Go find a place for me to rest, I'm a little tired today." My seat will be ready before tomorrow's game. After instructing the guards, Li Yuan motioned to Liu Mu to go and have fun by himself.

Liu Mu still sent Li Yuan to a resting place before leaving.

From the moment he saw Li Yuan, Liu Mu wanted to ask why Peng Hai didn't follow, but he didn't dare to ask, let alone ask the guards.

Li Shimin waited for Liu Mu under the tree for half an hour, but he didn't see Liu Mu come back.

Li Shimin complained: "This kid is hiding from me, don't let me find him." ”

"Your Highness, the minister doesn't understand. Why is he hiding from you, and why are you looking for him? After Fang Xuanling asked puzzled, Li Shimin was dumb and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Fang Xuanling continued: "Liu Yuma is hiding from you, because he is not used to being asked in too much detail by you, but you are looking for him to hope that everything is under control. Why bother? ”

"That's right. Let's go and see what else is in this Jingyang wharf. ”

"I'm going to check it out. This Jingyang Wharf is more prosperous than the West Market. Eldest Sun Wuji immediately followed.

Liu Mu had already arrived at a box on the top floor of the Tingyue Pavilion at this time, this box was different from other boxes, this box was closed to the windows in the building, and the four boxes on both sides were booked, and they were all people who sat in the middle box.

Liu Mu sent invitations to thirty-six people, and less than half of them came.

But the one that Liu Mu focused on inviting was not bad.

When Yanagi entered, there was a round table in the middle, and nine old men were playing cards, and there were several people chatting next to them. Liu Mu swept his eyes, and there were a total of fifteen people, and half of them didn't know each other, but they believed that there were people with huge power to speak in the clan, and people with status.

"Let the elders wait, and the younger generations will be rude." Willow clenched his fists and saluted.

Almost all of the people present nodded slightly, even if it was a return gift, in terms of seniority, they were the worst grandfathers of Liumu, and even with the grandfathers of Liumu, waiting here was already enough for Liumu to face, and he responded to Liumu's invitation.

Even if they just come for tea, they don't care, it's just a face.
