Unparalleled Concubine

"More than 30 battle-ready soldiers!"

Li Xin stood up directly from the chair and said with a sneer, "Are you scaring me?"

Li Shuo said to himself, "Brother, the Pingnan Army started from the generation of Lord Hou, and it has been more than 30 years now."

He raised his head to look at Li Xin, and said solemnly: "In 30 years, at least there will be more than three replacements in the army. The Pingnan Army starts from the old Hou Ye Li Zhijie, and those who are over 40 years old will leave the army. The county will allocate arable land to them, and the Pingnan Army will recruit these filling vacancies. Anyway, there are [-] establishments, and the imperial court will support them."

As he spoke, Li Shuo said in a deep voice, "There are many iron mines in Shu, do you know, brother?"

Li Xin knew this.

In the Song Dynasty in another world, Shu land was unable to make copper coins because of the lack of copper. Only iron coins could be made. The face value of iron coins was low, and five iron coins were worth one copper coin, so it was extremely inconvenient to go out and buy things.

Because of this, there is a kind of banknote, the birth of Jiaozi.

Li Xin nodded slowly.

Li Shuo went on to say: "Because there are 10 people who are supported by the imperial court, and the military and government of the entire Shu region are controlled by the Pingnan Army, so the Pingnan Army can also deduct a lot of taxes. After more than 30 years, Pingnan Army General Nan's Mansion has produced countless weapons and armor, and there are still countless retired people!"

"My little brother said that there are 30 people who can fight, that is the minimum estimate..."

Soldiers in ancient times were very different from later generations. At this time there were no standards for training, and strong men were often recruited by force. After enlisting in the army, if the battle was urgent, they did not even train. They gave you a weapon and you could go to the battlefield. Go to the battlefield and fight a few times without dying, and those who survive can be regarded as elite soldiers.

Well-trained and well-equipped people like Habayashi Wei are rare.

Some soldiers don't even have armor.

As Li Shuo said, if the Pingnan Army had started preparations 30 years ago, it would not be an exaggeration to have 30 soldiers in Shu today.

Li Xin twitched the corner of his mouth inexplicably.

"Excellent, there are still reserves."

The set in Shu cannot be regarded as a reserve service, it is more like the government military system of the Tang Dynasty, but this kind of thing can only be strictly implemented in areas controlled by the military government like Shu County, like Da Tang. It is very difficult to do it for a behemoth like the Jin Dynasty.

Li Xin slowly closed his eyes, and many things that he couldn't understand before suddenly became clear.

No wonder Li Shen is still alive and well in the capital!

No wonder there are only 10,000+ soldiers and horses on the surface in southern Xinjiang, and the imperial court has remained indifferent so far!

No wonder Emperor Chengde never confronted Nanjiang until his death!

If there are really more than 30 battle-ready soldiers in southern Xinjiang, even in today's Great Jin Dynasty, if they want to gnaw it down, they will become crippled.

Li Xin took a deep breath, then opened his eyes and looked at the young Li Shuo, and said slowly, "Why are you telling me this?"

Li Shuo raised his eyes to look at Li Xin, and said, "What little brother Cai said just now is not a special secret in southern Xinjiang. Emperor Chengde knows these things, and now Emperor Taikang also knows, but you don't know, brother, which shows that the Ji family I'm not of the same mind with my brother."

Li Xin was silent.

"You want to sow discord?"

"It's not about sowing discord."

Li Shuo stood up, bent over to Li Xin and said, "Little brother admires elder brother very much. I just came here today to meet elder brother. By the way, I would like to remind elder brother to be more careful in the capital."

Li Xin waved his hand.

"As a favor, you can go."

Li Shuo got up, politely bowed to Li Xin, and respectfully said, "Brother, take care, and I'm leaving."

With that said, he slowly exited the Qi family courtyard.

Li Xin was alone in the study with his eyes closed.

"Li Shuo... is much stronger than Li Chun."

Li Xin muttered to himself.

"Although I don't know what you are going to do, your knowledge of the current situation in the court is still too shallow."

Li Shuo believed that the Ji family was using Li Xin to deal with Southern Xinjiang, but he didn't know that Li Xin was also using the Ji family to gain momentum.

At this time, although Li Xin already had some wings, these wings were not plump enough, and they were not strong enough. He still had to work hard to harden his wings on the big tree of Ji's house.

Before that, he must and must be a loyal minister of the Jin Dynasty. The Taikang Dynasty was most keen on conquering the Marquis of Jing'an in southern Xinjiang.

The biggest hawk in the new dynasty!

This matter is very complicated, and Li Xin has to grasp the slightest bit of propriety, so that his small boat will not capsize between two big waves.

He was very clear.

Neither the imperial court nor Pingnanhou's mansion can be relied upon.

The only person you can rely on is yourself.

Chapter 356 The Decree

To be honest, Li Xin was at a loss for this sudden "brother".

But soon he reacted.

No matter how you say it, my early goal is still very clear, that is to let the Li family, or the Pingnan Hou's house collapse.

Whether people will die or not is still open to debate, but the building of Pingnanhou Mansion must collapse!

Up to now, this is not only Li Xin's personal enmity, but also his political goal, because Emperor Taikang also urgently needs the collapse of the Pingnanhou Mansion, Li Xin can only rely on the power of Emperor Taikang Opportunities go to the next level.

In other words, no matter what, Li Xin had no chance of reconciling with the Li family.

Even if he himself is willing, Emperor Taikang will not be willing, nor will Mu Ying, and the "Habayashi Guards" led by Li Xin will not be willing either.

At this time, Li Xin was no longer the poor boy who just came to the capital. He had become the core of an interest group whose temporary goal was to deal with the Pingnanhou Mansion.

This goal was slowly built up by Li Xin himself bit by bit, trying every means, but until now, he himself has no way to violate this goal, otherwise he will lose his heart.

What's more, he didn't want to abandon this goal.

His mother's grave is still buried on Mount Qi.

Li Shuo raised his head to look at Li Xin, then lowered his head slowly: "Brother, I want to talk to you about something."

Li Xin smiled lightly.

"I do not want to hear."
