Uncle Li swallowed: "I said a virtuous son-in-law, are you not joking? You said just now that the monthly expenditure of these Wu Ben army is equivalent to ten ordinary Tang soldiers. How can we save money? Even if they are all blocking ten people, how much benefit can they be achieved on the battlefield and fighting thousands of troops?"

I smiled. The old guy had no knowledge. Let these people go to the battlefield to fight blatantly? Unless I am a fool. "The son-in-law is naturally very clear about the doubts of my father-in-law. In fact, let's give an example. What happened in Liaodong this time, the Marine tribe violated my people. What would happen if His Majesty dealt with it?"

"I am naturally asking the army to attack, wait!" Uncle Li suddenly paused, looked at me with a glance, pondered for a moment, and burst into laughter: "Is it that the martial arts practiced by the virtuous son-in-law used for small-scale wars? In this way, there is no need for too much military expenditure and food to avoid opposition from the government and the people. Just like what you said to me last time, what is the name... Well, think about it when I think about it."

Uncle Li stroked his long beard and slapped his thigh: "Is this the sentence right?"

"Your Majesty is wise. In fact, they are more useful than these..." I said with a smile: "My Tang border is now a little more peaceful, but the threat from the northwest is still there. In the east, Baekje and Silla are still slandered, and Baekje and the Kingdom of Japan are even more closely related, and they still have a disobedient attitude towards our Tang Dynasty. As for the south, Nanzhao and Tubo are advantageous, they are arrogant and rude to our Tang Dynasty. If Nanzhao and Tubo are connected together, the troubles in the southeast of our Tang Dynasty will be even worse in the future. The son-in-law thinks that the role of the Wu Ben Army..."

The elite places I trained are not only for small-scale wars. If hundreds of people burn, kill and loot in the Western Turkic territory, the destructiveness will be no less than that of a tens of thousands of troops. They can also carry out beheading operations, that is, use them to assassinate the opponent's generals, or sneak attack an important location on the opponent, which will help promote the completion of our army's strategic and tactical goals, or even directly complete them.

Uncle Li could naturally hear the truth. He also ordered me to select from active-duty soldiers again. In any case, a thousand people would have to be collected. However, I was still responsible for the daily training and other matters of this army. However, their combat orders must be issued by the General Staff and Uncle Li. "Even the Ministry of War, there is only the right to propose and no right to dispatch." Uncle Li was very serious and solemnly reminded.

I bowed my head and obeyed. At this moment, the Wu Ben Army showed its strength for the first time, which attracted Uncle Li's attention. In the future, they will definitely be able to fully utilize their combat capabilities. Moreover, they are different from ordinary underworld soldiers, and even from the elites of the Sixteen Guards, because they will be the seeds and models of professional soldiers in the Tang Dynasty.

The return journey was slow. Outside the Chang'an City in spring, there were green patches of blending depths and shades, which were set against the blue sky, making me feel refreshed. However, Uncle Li's next request immediately made my mood dim, which was very dull. Because the Hongwenguan Branch had already been constructed in Pingliao City, the former capital of Goguryeo, and it was almost over. However, the staff had not been equipped yet, Uncle Li came to negotiate with me with a strong face to see if he could take out someone from me.

"Your Majesty, are you talking about transferring all the scholars assigned to the Honglu Temple to Liaodong first?!" I couldn't help but be stunned. The old gangster's methods are too dark, right? What kind of talents I have trained, no matter whether they are diplomatic or military, Uncle Li will be like a greedy jackal, swallowing whatever he catches and doesn't even spit a bone.

"A good son-in-law, I'm not in trouble..." Uncle Li pulled his horse and walked side by side with me, whispering: "You can see the son-in-law yourself. You don't know that those scholars are very good. I can't do this, I can only think of some ways from you. You can't let me send a group of corrupt scholars who only know Confucius said Mencius all day long, right? I'm afraid that at that time, these people will help outsiders to tell us that our court is not." Uncle Li felt bitter, well, it seems that he has been criticized by old Confucian scholars before.

I nodded and agreed, "Since my father-in-law is destined, the son-in-law naturally dare not disobey the order. But if this happens, the Honglu Temple..." "Don't worry, I will send you another person to satisfy you, so that your son-in-law will be satisfied. Then you can live a good job in teaching and educating people, hahaha." Uncle Li laughed and beat the horse. If you throw this sentence, it sounds bad, but if you leave it on your head at any time, you can only continue my job as Uncle Li said.

However, it is not enough for others, for the country, and for the people. I have to plan for myself and for the Fang family. In this way, I can be worthy of my identity and my parents, cultivate and cultivate my fellow students. Although I teach and educate people outside the mansion, it is completely different from here. Here, let alone I saved their lives, I have always let several wives treat this group of children well.

The four wives who learned to collect my methods all supported me in their ways. Whether it was Li Shu, Cheng Luanluan, palace maids or green butterfly, when I was away, they would come to the new mansion to teach them all kinds of skills, whether it was piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, or arithmetic. They were all smart people, well, selected from more than ten thousand refugees, at least they all understood what it means to be good or bad, patience, and attentive to learn.

What I teach them now is just some superficial courses that are equivalent to those of the five or six years old in later primary schools. However, the teaching equipment here is definitely the most exquisite and excellent on earth. Not to mention prisms, telescopes, and even microscopes, but the work still looks very rough and the magnification is very low. However, at least one thing can be enlarged to see the scale-like structure on it.

The world in their eyes seems so different. They have many doubts and even confusions. Some of them give answers, but more of them only tell them the result. The process needs to be found by themselves. This is just like the feeling I felt when I led the students' interest group. The birth of each new teaching tool is related to the children's seemingly innocent but reasonable problems, such as this microscope.

Only because of the successful development of mirrors and the success of lead glass can all be turned into reality.

However, in addition to educating these students at home, sometimes they have to help the princes consolidate their learning foundation. In addition, the number of newly sent students to Honglu Temple really scared me. There were a total of 100 students, five times more than the last time they taught.

Moreover, he was arrogant and proud, and he was all over the group of people with nostrils facing the sky. Seeing this, I almost wanted to pick up the big stick and knock them all to the ground. He Zheng next to him quickly cleared his throat and lowered his voice: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is here too."

"Hmm? What is he here to do?!" I raised my head and found that Li Zhifang, who was following the last side of the team, dismounted and walked towards this side in a square step. Unexpectedly, this guy led the team to send people today.

His Royal Highness of the Crown Prince Li Zhi of the Tang Dynasty, and his subordinates: Wang Yifang, the army of the Liao Palace, has now taken away the throne of Jin, and has been replaced with a more political and valuable throne: King Liao.

I was thinking about giving up my might and talking to these young people who were above the top, but now, Li Zhi jumped in front of me, so I couldn't curse in front of the prince of the Tang Dynasty, so I could only go forward and salute: "My minister Fang Jun has seen His Highness the Prince."

"Master, how can students receive the rituals of their masters? It is only when the master receives the rituals. Student Li Zhi and a hundred students from the Imperial College have seen the trance." Li Zhi came to me, helped me up affectionately, then quietly squeezed at me, and then bowed to me with a sacrificial prayer. When he bowed, the students behind him could only bow to me with resentment.

I helped Li Zhi up and whispered in his ear: "Why are you sending them here?"

Li Zhi rolled his eyes helplessly: "Do you think I am willing? It's not that Old Man Kong doesn't want to meet you, and he thinks that His Majesty gave him his students to you is disrespectful to his methods of studying. Now, he is sulking with my father. I won't come? Who is willing to come? No one is suitable for anyone to come. Fortunately, I am your student, otherwise, my father wouldn't let me take on this job. I'm just afraid that you will think..."
