Is Huating a big city?

"It doesn't count."

Romeo has made up for all kinds of knowledge in the Tang Dynasty.

At that moment, Romeo explained: "This is just a small city that was only started a few years ago, and tomorrow we will go to Hangzhou City, which is a big city, but it is nothing in the big city of the entire Tang Empire." ”

All those who come from the Mediterranean have great expectations.

After Liu Mu handed Romeo to Cui Yiye, he didn't bother anymore, Liu Mu believed in Qinghe Cui's ambitions, if they didn't even have this ambition, they couldn't become super giants.

Hangzhou Liumu did not go, and after the gold and other valuables in the Huating Military Port were loaded, Liumu was ready to return to Chang'an.

But before Liu Mu set off, the guards reported that Konoe Tadachi, who was the chief captain of the Fusang clan in the Cixi Shencewei training camp, came to visit.

"Lang Jun, Konoe Tadachi is only a sixth-rank military attache at the moment, so it's good to send someone over to see him."

"Nope. Tell him that I understand that I have important military business to go back to Chang'an, and that I will invite him to dinner with him tonight, and that there is something to talk about at the dinner table. Tell me more, dinner is more exquisite. ”

"Yes!" The guards retreated and arranged.

Although Liu Mu didn't understand what Konoe Tadashi was going to do when he came to him, as one of the five giants of the Fuso military at the moment, he had to give this face.

In the evening, Konoe Tadashi arrived, and at first he was very respectful outside the door, and then he took off his shoes and put them outside the door, and then he entered the house.

The houses of Datang in this era are high-end, and they are indeed pure wood floors.

A gift, some special gifts from the Fusang people, is not valuable, it is indeed the heart.

"Sit!" Yanagi pointed to the location of the lower alley, where there was a single dwarf.

After Konoe Tadachi sat down, Yanagi raised his glass: "I haven't seen you for a long time, and you are much stronger." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern."

Konoe raised his glass with both hands and drank to his heart.

Liu Mu asked: "Is there any difficulty, you were the person I picked in Kumamoto Castle back then, if there is any difficulty, as long as it does not violate the law of the Tang Dynasty, I can arrange it." ”

"Thank you again Your Highness for your concern, we have no difficulty, but on behalf of many people, we hope to have an opportunity to speak."

"Say!"

Konoe Tadashi left the low table and walked to the front, knelt on the ground, and said very seriously: "Right now, the total number of soldiers of my Fuso clan fighting outside is 170,000, and there are 140,000 people who have been trained. I ask Your Highness to increase this number. ”

"Increase? Why. "Yanagi didn't expect Konoe Tadachi to say this.

"Strong young people prefer to become samurai of saints, rather than porters on the docks or building roads and bridges, the training of the Tang Army takes a long time, and another 180,000 people over the age of ten and under the age of fifteen can be transferred to the reserve for training, and those over the age of fifteen and under the age of eighteen can enter the training camp."

Konoe Tadashi came up with a complete plan, and Yanagi listened to it without saying a word.

"Very well, let me think about it." Yanagi did not say against it, nor did he say that he supported it, but only said that he considered it.

After dinner, Konoe Tadashi left, and Yanagi called Jiang Ke in.

"Lang Jun, the healthy men of the Fusang tribe between the ages of ten and fifteen are 200,000, the number of people between the ages of fifteen and eighteen is only 110,000, and the number of people between the ages of eighteen and thirty is not even 50,000 in Fusang Road, except for the people we have recruited."

After listening to Jiang Ke's words, Liu Mu asked: "He is not afraid of being impeached for a self-respecting army?" ”

"No, if people from the Fuso clan want to become real generals, they need a sufficient number of soldiers. The military generals from the Fusang tribe are not arrogant enough to think that they can command a regular Tang army unit, but they look down on Jiaoren and Zhenla to surrender troops, so they are still reliable soldiers of their own tribe. ”

Liu Mu asked rhetorically: "Martial arts are precious?" ”

Jiang Ke nodded: "Exactly, among the upper-class nobles under the Tang Dynasty, almost without exception, except for the five famous families, have made countless meritorious contributions at the time of the establishment of the Tang Dynasty. It can be said that the King of the West Wing is the god of war in the hearts of the Fusang people. And Lang Jun, you also rose by virtue of military exploits. ”

Liu Mu asked again: "Do you think that this matter should be decided by the saints?" ”

"It depends on what the Fuso soldiers are used for. For the use of troops in Goguryeo, the sage would not use Fusang soldiers, it was a battle that the Tang people had to fight in person. ”

Liu Mu nodded slightly, it seems that Jiang Ke's analysis is similar to what he thinks.

Jiang Ke said again: "Although the five brothers of the guards are not brothers, they look like brothers, and they will always contact each other wherever they are arranged, which must be the result of their discussions. What's more, they didn't expect everyone to have the opportunity to become soldiers, so they came up with a plan similar to that of all soldiers. ”

"In fact, we are the same in Datang, the government soldiers are the foundation, although the government soldiers system is being adjusted, but every male will receive no less than one month of high-intensity intensive training every year when he is a teenager, as well as three months of intermittent small-scale training."

After Liu Mu finished speaking, he patted the table lightly: "That's it, I have a suggestion that you think about it." ”

"Please wait a minute." Jiang Ke went to prepare pen and paper.

Liu Mu waved his hand: "You don't need to find a pen and paper, it's actually just a sentence." ”

"Then Lang Jun will talk about it."

"The application was given to Fusang Province to establish schools from the beginning of the toddler to the age of eighteen, all of which were semi-military schools, and then as they grew older, they were divided into classes according to the different abilities of each person, and began to favor pure military or pure skilled craftsmen."

What Liu Mu said is indeed very simple, and the details need to be considered by Jiang Ke's staff committee.

Liu Mu added: "Also, there are two things that are not taught. One is chemistry, one is physics, and that's it. ”

Chemistry, now claims to be called Daomen Shangdanshu.

This can indeed be found enough to understand not to teach outsiders, but only to teach Taoist disciples.

Then there is physics, which is one of the three theories that are claimed to be called ghost work, and the other two are advanced mathematics and chemistry. But except for a very small number of people, no one knows the content of the top three theories of ghost work, and they all think that physics is the three theories of ghost work.

Jiang Ke asked: "Lang Jun, if the sage asks, there is a reason." ”

Liu Mu replied in a cold tone: "The reason is very simple, the important weapon of the country, I don't believe that Fusang people are enough." ”

Jiang Ke immediately said: "Then the subordinates should find a suitable excuse, although I also understand that it is most appropriate for the Fusang people to move bricks, but this cannot be said, after all, the nobles of the Fusang clan have died, and the Fusang clan is also one of the many ethnic groups in my Tang Dynasty, if there is any injustice, I am afraid of causing bad remarks among the people." ”

"Whatever you want." Yanagi didn't say much more on the subject.
