(Today I will first confront my old book friend Yehuacao and grass, haha! First of all, let’s talk about the issue of giving and competing. Whether it’s giving or competing, it’s all about capital. Without this stage, what can you fight for? Li Ze does have some assets, but now compared with his brother, the gap is a person with millions of assets. If you want to compete with Wang Sicong, do you want him to die faster? Of course, our protagonist will definitely be in power. The most interesting thing is this process? Brother, you have been predicting my plot over the past few years, but I proudly say, you haven’t guessed it right, so the plot of asking your father to give your brother to be wrong. Let me laugh proudly. Finally, I emphasize one thing, old brother, I love you, isn’t it? Every time you leave a message, it will inspire my creative inspiration!)

Yang Kai left happily.

The benefits of holding a thick thigh were indeed extraordinary. The problem that had been plagued by him for many days seemed not a problem for Li Ze. The 20,000 guan tax surcharge, Li Ze took out 5,000 guan in one breath, which made him feel relieved. In his opinion, Li Ze's payment of money was just a financial operation of his left hand and his right hand, but for him, it was not just a problem of official hats, but also a problem of examining political achievements at the top. Without overly disturbing the local people, he would definitely be able to complete the tasks assigned by his superiors. Thinking about the fact that his colleagues in other counties must be in a hurry now, he was not only secretly happy.

Is this a problem for Li Ze to ask him for twenty armored instruments? Of course, it is a problem that can't be more serious when giving the armored instruments from the county arsenal to other people, but is there any problem for Li Ze and Mr. Li? Of course not.

The government does not prohibit the people from possessing swords and guns, and they cannot resist bows. The crossbows and armor tools are indeed very strict in management. Any private home with more than ten pairs of armor can constitute a crime of treason. In a county in Wuyi, there are only twenty pairs of armor. It can be seen that armor is indeed a rare thing.

Li Ze's son Li Anguo was a governor of Chengde. He was under the jurisdiction of four prefectures and twenty-five counties. He only controlled 3,000 soldiers.

After seeing Yang Kai off, Li Ze sighed in his heart that the troubled times finally rolled in an unstoppable manner. Zhang Zhongwu was like the butterfly, flapping his wings shocked the entire Tang Empire. Or this storm could not affect other parts of the empire for a while, but in the north of the empire, major forces had already heard about it.

The Chengde area under the control of Li Anguo was still very stable because of his own strategy of maintaining success or not being enterprising. The government also paid more attention to people's livelihood, so the lives of the people are still acceptable, but in areas such as Lulong, the lives of the people are hard. The numerous tyrants and miscellaneous taxes and heavy labor service have already made the people breathless. Zhang Zhongwu desperately expanded his army to prepare for war, making the major military governors around him feel like thorns on his back, and had to move to strengthen his military strength. For example, the people have forced the people to riot.

But this is just the beginning.

It can be imagined that as time goes by, as the war officially begins, the situation is only more serious than it is now. Standing in the yard and thinking for a long time against the flying snowflakes, Li Ze then found Tu Lichun and Guan Sheng.

"If we need it, how many people can we pull out in our village?" Li Ze asked.

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

"Young Master, our village includes all the tenants, including 835 strong laborers over fifteen years old and under sixty years old, of which 35 people have combat experience, are all guards on the village."

"As fifteen to fifty years old!" Li Ze waved his hand. He didn't want to see the old man with gray hair appearing on the battlefield with swords and guns.

"Then you will have to be nearly 200 less people." Tu Lichun said that over fifteen years old and under sixty years old was also the age limit for the entire Tang Dynasty's recruitment.

"There are more than 600 people, plus the hundreds of people in our secret camp. If something really happens, it will not be powerless to resist." Li Ze pondered: "The Tang Dynasty implemented the system of government troops. Why do we tenants have no experience in the battlefield?"

Tu Lichun smiled and said, "Young Master, the government soldiers, referring to those self-cultivated farmers, or good families, like tenants who depend on the master's family and have no list in the government's government. How can they be included in the government soldiers' system? Furthermore, over the past ten years, the world has been relatively peaceful. We have become virtuous and the master has managed well. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and even the bandits are about to disappear."

"Warring will lead to danger, forgetting to fight will lead to danger!" Li Ze waved his arm vigorously, "It's snowing now, and there is no work to do at home. Just staying at home is not enough. Beginning of spring, you, organize all these people of the age for me and conduct military training."

Tu Lichun looked at Li Ze with a little dullness, and after a while, he said, "That young master, how much do you want to practice them?"

Li Ze touched his chin and thought for a while before saying, "At least you must understand the basic military orders, basic queues, basic offensive and defensive tactics. You don't dare to go to the battlefield as soon as the enemy shouts and a rain of arrows. They turn around and run away or pee their pants directly."

"Yes. I'll arrange this matter immediately. Tomorrow, the young master will see the military training officially begin." Tu Lichun said neatly.

"Okay." What Li Ze was most satisfied with was Tu Lichun's simplicity. "Chu Sheng, have you already put the first batch of supplies sent back by Tu Erye?"

"Yes, there were ten horses in the first batch, all of which were the best war horses. There were ten carts of leather and one cart of ox tendon." Jun Sheng said: "The person who came back from delivery said that before the New Year, there should be a batch of supplies being shipped back."

"Organize personnel. In this winter, our workshop will turn all these leathers into leather armor and boots, and all the cow tendons will be turned into bowstrings. I also need to arrange more personnel in the Tiefang. Not to mention anything else, at least one person must prepare one for each person." Li Ze said.

"Young Master, this requires organizing the tenant family members."

"Of course, there are some work here, and it doesn't require much effort. I remember that there are several old people who are good at making leather armor!" Li Ze nodded: "Get a batch of cotton cloth from Yixingtang, come over, and prepare more cotton coats, head covers, gloves, etc."

"yes!"

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

I am anxious!

The torrent of history has rolled in, and time is endless, and I have to seize the day. Unfortunately, what I can do now is very limited. If I have a few years left, I will definitely be able to prepare more fully.

"Master, this winter, the village is going to lose money again." Xia He appeared in front of Li Ze with his account book in his arms, drawing on it, "According to my instructions, these thousands of people will eat and drink from me again this winter. Those shameless people will definitely bring all the dolls of a few years old to make a living."

"How many milk dolls can eat?" Li Ze looked at Xia He with a funny look, "I won't be punished by them yet. You should think like this. Give these milk dolls a bite of food to make their mother more energetic when they do their work, right? Just do this Xia He. At that time, you can arrange a literate girl and take these milk dolls to study, regardless of how many words they can tell, so that they won't run around and make the village smoky."

"I am so kind-hearted. I care about food, drink, and their reading and literacy!"

"This is not a kind heart, it is a management strategy. You can't do something that requires the horse to run away, but you don't eat grass for the horse." Li Ze said. "Besides, this winter, Mr. Tu is showing off his skills. Maybe we can earn more than in and out of the past."

"Is there really a riot in Shiyi? We are only separated from them by a big green mountain. They won't really come, right? But the heavy snow should be closed, and they shouldn't come." Xia He was a little worried.

"People, if you are forced to do anything, you can create any miracle. Not to mention snow, they can even put a knife in order to ask for a bite of food." Li Ze murmured.
Chapter completed!
