Chapter 143: Life and death take away

To sum up, the meeting with Wu Chongxun is nothing more than three words, nonsense.

This prince is obviously a person who is lying on his father's face and is waiting for death, not seeking merit but seeking nothing wrong.

This means that this person cannot be counted on, and Qin Shaoyou naturally does not count on him.

What he cares more about is this generous reward.

There were 1,500 households, and the imperial court granted nearly 40,000 mu of fertile land, which was equivalent to a town in the future. Here, Qin Shaoyou was naturally the mountain king. Fortunately, this land was also in Mengjin, with river water in the north and Fenghuang Mountain on the right. It was a good place to go. As for the registered population of the county magistrate, it was all right. Logically, Qin Shaoyou should appoint a chief to manage these people. The chief sermon could not find anyone, so he had to move Chen Jie. So a simple management agency was established. Chen Changshi is now a very large official, and he is responsible for the production of food households and the collection of taxes. In addition, even the power to coordinate neighborhood disputes fell on him.

His first task was to organize man-made mulberry planting and transplant camellia tea, which were all prepared by Qin Shaoyou. By growing grain alone, these tens of thousands of acres of land could not be counted on. It would be better to plant cash crops, men were responsible for farming, and women were gathered together to weave.

This is necessary to bring land to its maximum value.

At present, everything is in trouble, and Qin Shaoyou's Tuanjie Battalion needs to be arrested in two ways, one is training, the other is production, production is to raise soldiers, and the raising soldiers is to give an explanation to the court. Now, what he cares most about is production. Now there are four Tuanjie Battalions in Mengxi, with a population of about 1,200, and now all have moved to Mengxi and set up Mengxi camps directly.

After all, it is troublesome to train. Although he is a commander and is directly under the general of the general of the camp, he looks scary. At such a level, there must be at least thousands or tens of thousands of soldiers. In fact, his soldiers are only more than one thousand, and there is no need to disperse them all.

When everyone gets together, they will naturally have to set up camp. The barracks need to be renovated and expanded. Not only that, they also need to add some training venues. As well as shooting ranges, horse farms, and even nearby, a few blacksmith shops have to be built. Although it is impossible to produce weapons at present, repairing and maintaining must be self-sufficient.

As for the construction of this barracks, it was the prisoners' business. Of course, these soldiers from Hebei could not let them eat. Qin Shaoyou treated them as auxiliary soldiers, with the number of auxiliary soldiers being about 4,000, responsible for raising horses, repairing barracks, transporting food and grass, and even providing food. As long as the two of them have enough food, they are not afraid of their troubles.

The expenses of more than a thousand people are actually very amazing, because Qin Shaoyou's policy of wealth support is already shocking, and the expenses of a group bravery are worth a few imperial guards. The reason for this is that Qin Shaoyou knows that the reason why the Tuanjie Battalion is valued is not anything else, but the emperor. If the emperor wants to have a military horse born from Li Tang, the combat power must be good, at least it must be comparable to the imperial guards. Otherwise, the Tuanjie Battalion will have no meaning. Looking at Wu Zetian's meaning of airborne Wu Chongxun, it is clearly acknowledging the view of Qin Shaoyou, the Wu family army, and naturally pays special attention to the Tuanjie Battalion. What Qin Shaoyou can do is to establish this Tuanjie Battalion into an elite soldier. Now, this is the foundation of Qin Shaoyou's existence.

There is always a crisis in Qin Shaoyou. Although it is going well now, don’t forget that his lieutenant was thrown into this Tuanjie Battalion. It would be strange if no one in the army did anything. The lieutenant of Qin Shaoyou was granted by Wu Zetian, which also means that that person must have a great power in the army. He could suppress Qin Shaoyou that day. So today, although Qin Shaoyou has restored his glory with the Tuanjie Battalion, is he still willing to sit by?

So... although I don't know who that person was, Qin Shaoyou understood that sooner or later, everyone will compete against each other. The only thing he can do is to do better than before.

Qin Shaoyou actually didn't understand what to do well and practice. With the experience of the last time, he occasionally rode a war horse back and forth in the camp, and sometimes asked Fang Jing to give advice on his horsemanship. Most of the time, the only thing he thought about was money.

More than a thousand bloody mouths are used. These people practice every day, and their physical strength consumes an amazing amount. The consumption of physical strength brings an increase in appetite. Chicken, duck, cattle and sheep are both essential, especially beef, which is the best nutritional supplement for people. In this era, the price of beef is extremely high. Because this thing is a powerful tool for plowing the fields, the court has long stipulated that slaughtering cattle is illegal. If you want to eat beef, you have to wait until the beef dies, and then go to the government to report it before slaughtering it. As for mutton, the price is not low, and chicken and duck are also a problem. However, eggs can be sufficient as long as you have money.

After this, it really hurts Qin Shaoyou.

He turned grief into motivation, and he hid in his big tent and wrote letters and memorials to many people. Whether it was sent to the main camp or to the palace, it was just one word... money.

Children who can cry may not have milk, but they will feel a little bit of pain. Women who are too mothers can't bear to eat anything for children who are hungry every day, but they will inevitably feel a little ashamed. What Qin Shaoyou wants is this kind of mentality.

On the other hand, he knew that if he didn't get money, the production problem would become the top priority. There were more than 1,200 people and 17,000 households. All counties in Henan Prefecture had land and population. Qin Shaoyou thought of ways to ask Wang Yong to promote flax, mulberry, camellia and other plants. The reason was that he could not afford to raise so many idle people by farming alone. In this outrageous era when the yield of grain fields was low per mu, Qin Shaoyou had no choice.

In Ziwei Palace, Wu Zetian reviewed the memorials. When he arrived at a place, he suddenly frowned again, showing a very headache.

Seeing this, Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly handed over the princess tea. Wu Zetian took a bite and couldn't help but say, "Qin Shaoyou is here to collect debts again. He is so crazy that he doesn't practice troops. He is really fond of money."

Wu Zetian was really afraid, right? He wrote a letter every few days. He is now a county magistrate and is indeed qualified to submit memorials directly. As a result, this guy cried poorly every day. Yesterday, he said that he saw the soldiers holding a broken bowl and eating porridge with pitiful food. He thought that the soldiers were practicing day and night, but they couldn't eat enough, so he was sad. Today, he said that the horses in the circle were thinner. If they continued to lose weight like this, they were afraid that they would not be able to fight. They would raise soldiers for a thousand days, but they could not be used for a while. So, the Qin Commander was moved again and cried loudly.

Did this guy learn to cry like Mei Ruohong in "Three Plum Blossoms"? Wu Zetian didn't know, but he only knew one thing. There was someone crying next to him every day, miserable and miserable, which was really troubled.

However, Wu Zetian could not issue an order to instruct him. After all, Wu Zetian asked him to train this united camp, and it was indeed difficult to cook without rice. They paid for money to raise soldiers and made great contributions to solve the urgent needs of the court. Do you have the nerve to show off their faces?

Since you can't, you can only comfort yourself. It's just an old routine that will be used in the future and everything depends on you. As a result, you will be comforted and will be more diligent in this memorial, which has reached the point where Wu Zetian cannot tolerate it.

Shangguan Wan'er smiled and said, "Your Majesty, there is a saying that the troops and horses should go ahead before they move their food and grass. He has to train elite troops and live up to His Majesty's entrustedness, but the court has to favor one and the other. After all, the united camp is just a brave man. If there is no place to go to the flying cavalry and the imperial guards, he has to run away, but at least he has to eat grass for the horse, right? He wants to be blamed. In fact, he is not criticized by his words. According to the opinions of his ministers, His Majesty is not annoyed him, but sometimes his temperament is a bit annoying. I heard that there are letters in the main camp every day, and they are also

Complaint, Your Majesty knows what the Prince Gaoyang is doing? He burned Qin Shaoyou's letter when he saw Qin Shaoyou's letter, but he didn't look at it, but asked the clerk to reply. The letter was just constantly commending Qin Shaoyou's achievements. The Prince Gaoyang specially called a clerk, who wrote a letter. After a few days, he wrote a few months of letters, and dozens of them. Qin Shaoyou came with a letter, and he picked one back. So a few days ago, Qin Shaoyou wrote a letter to Wu Chengsi Shangshu Wu and complained, saying that it was the Prince Gaoyang who was sick, why did he always say nothing about the reply?”

When Wu Zetian heard this, she couldn't help laughing. Although Qin Shaoyou's letter to Wu Chengsi was elegant, it was actually just a sentence, is your nephew's brain sick?

It is conceivable what kind of expression Wu Chengsi would have after receiving the letter.

Wu Zetian's mood suddenly improved a lot, and he pondered: "The court does have something to let him down, but I also have my difficulties. If you don't say anything for now, it is useless to say more. You can take time to go to Mengxi and see it with your own eyes. It is also considered to be a consolation to me on behalf of me. And... I will pass him a message, and he will be allowed to live or kill the people in Henan Dao Teng camp. The court will never interfere. As long as he can do the job well, it will be done!"
