There are 3000 soldiers in Prince Qing's Mansion, and the barracks are enough for 3000 people to live in.

Now the city defense and saltworks are under the control of the government soldiers, and some of the troops have been drawn out, so many barracks are vacant in the camp, just to supply the captured garrison.

The garrison was placed in the worst barracks, and when Lou Yu passed by, an unpleasant smell came over his nostrils.

He had never been to the Mansion Barracks before, and he had no idea that the accommodation environment in the Mansion Barracks was so bad.

In fact, it is not the environment that is bad, but the government soldiers who do not pay attention to hygiene.

They're all rough old men who don't like bathing and washing their feet.

Moreover, there is a lot of rubbish left on the aisle, and even excrement can be seen, which is really unbearable.

Lou Yu exhaled slowly, and asked Li Shu, "Is there no one to clean up the filth in the camp?"

Li Shu got used to staying here, didn't feel anything, didn't realize Lou Yu's meaning, and replied: "The soldiers clean up the filth by themselves."

Lou Yu raised his eyelids to look at him, "How often do you take a bath?"

When asked such a question, Li Shu scratched his head shyly, "Once in ten days."

Lou Yu: "..."

Training and sweating every day, but taking a shower only once in ten days?

Thinking of how he reached out to pat him on the shoulder just now, Lou Yu felt that the whole palm of his hand was bad.

He frowned slightly, resisting the urge to go back and wash his hands, "Go see He Dazhou."

And quietly moved away from Li Shu.

After all, He Dazhou used to be the commander of the garrison and lived alone in a barracks.

Before the two entered the barracks, they heard the sound of shouting and fighting in the barracks.

Lou Yu showed doubts.

Li Shu explained: "He Dazhou is good at martial arts. His subordinates were worried that he would escape from the camp privately, so they asked Brother Zhou Man and several other brothers to watch him together. He Dazhou and Brother Zhou Man had to fight each other every day."

Lou Yu secretly lamented that the general's communication method is really unique.

When the guard saw the two, he saluted and notified him of entering the camp.

The sound of fighting in the barracks stopped.

The next moment, Zhou Man ran out sweating profusely, and saluted Lou Yu respectfully.

Lou Yu smiled and said, "I heard from Li Shu that you have contributed a lot to the garrison this time."

He Dazhou was captured by Zhou Man in one fell swoop.

Zhou Man's voice was loud and clear: "It's His Highness who has planned carefully, and the subordinates only used some brute force, so it's nothing."

He has a real temperament, and he doesn't like to tell lies about everything. He really thinks that he doesn't have much credit.

Lou Yu admired his temperament, didn't continue talking nonsense, and went straight into the barracks.

Before meeting He Dazhou, Lou Yu always thought that the commander of the garrison was a tall and mighty man like Zhou Man and Li Shu, but seeing He Dazhou with his own eyes, he was somewhat disillusioned.

Stereotypes are bad!

He Dazhou is of medium build, and compared to Zhou Manyi, he can be said to be short.

He looks about 30 years old, with wheat-colored skin, sparse and invisible eyebrows, single eyelids and small eyes, a nose that is not straight enough, thick lips, and a small beard. He can only be described as ugly.

He was still wearing the clothes of the commander of the garrison, and Da Lala sat there, looking up and down at Lou Yu.

The look was impolite.

Li Shu immediately shouted: "This is Prince Qing's son! See you soon!"

Unexpectedly, He Dazhou was not frightened, and said in a contemptuous tone: "Zhou Man, you have become more and more depraved, and you actually regard a baby as your master."

Zhou Man raised his eyebrows upside down, "Keep your mouth clean!"

The two used to be the commander of the garrison, the other the commander of the army, the other worked for the court, and the other worked for the vassal. Their positions were naturally hostile, and they naturally disliked each other.

In the past, He Dazhou scolded King Qing as a coward, but Zhou Man didn't have the courage to scold him back, and he didn't bother to defend King Qing.

But this time He Dazhou insulted Lou Yu in front of him, he couldn't bear it.

Knowing Zhou Man for many years, He Dazhou knows his temperament.

It is definitely not an idiot who can make Zhou Man support him so sincerely.

What's more, being able to take control of Qingzhou Mansion from Guo Lian in one fell swoop is enough to prove the ability of this son of Prince Qing.

He didn't dare to underestimate Lou Yu in his heart, but still sneered coldly on his face: "Did I say something wrong?"

"That's right." Lou Yu looked calm, "Commander He has been in the camp for a few days, and he hasn't visited our barracks yet, right?"

He turned to Li Shu and Zhou Man: "We are the hosts, Commander He is the guest, we must do our best to be the hosts."

Li Shu was a little dazed: "Your Highness, please tell me."

"Take Commander He with you and visit our barracks together."

Lou Yu paused, and said again: "Why don't you see Commander He's personal guards?"

Li Shu: "They live in another barracks."

Lou Yu smiled slightly, "Take them all."

All three were a little dazed.

He Dazhou always felt that Lou Yu was holding back some bad ideas, while Li Shu and Zhou Man were puzzled by Monk Zhang Er.

After reconstruction, the government barracks is divided into accommodation area, training area, study area and eating area.

Among them, the biggest changes are the training venue and learning system, and the accommodation area and eating area will basically remain the same.

However, after Lou Yu promulgated the new regulations, the diet level of the soldiers in the camp has increased significantly, and each of them has more strength and confidence when training.

Lou Yu led He Dazhou and others to the training ground.

It was the beginning of Weishi (one o'clock in the afternoon), and the sun was hanging in the sky, shining warmly on my body.

Facing the sun, He Dazhou squinted at the busy training ground.

Today happened to coincide with the competition in the camp. The coaches of each group were constantly motivating the soldiers under them, and all the soldiers were doing their best to strive for good results.

He Dazhou has not felt this kind of fighting spirit and unparalleled strength for a long time.

The soldiers in black clothes and red belts crossed the trenches, leaped over the high walls, and climbed over the mud one by one. Their movements were flexible and vigorous, and their eyes were firm and steady.

He Dazhou finally understood why his garrison was so vulnerable.

He narrowed his eyes and pondered, while the guards beside him showed eager eyes.

They are all enlisted soldiers, who doesn't want to show their talents?Who doesn't want to build a career?

Now it seems that the future of Wang Fufu soldiers is much better than them.

As the competition came to an end, when the coaches called out the three names, there was thunderous applause and cheers on the training ground, wave after wave.

A personal guard couldn't help asking: "What are you doing?"

Li Shu's personal guard explained with a normal face: "The three of them are the top three in this competition, and rewards will be given out in the camp."

"There are rewards? What rewards?"

"Everyone has a certificate, and the ranking will be written on the certificate, but the bonus is different."

"bonus?"

"No.1 can get one tael of silver, No.2 five hundred coins, No.3 two hundred coins."

"How often is the appraisal?"

"Once a month."

He Dazhou's personal guard was shocked: "Then if you take the first place every time, wouldn't you be able to get a tael of silver every month?"

Li Shu's personal guard grinned, "Everyone thinks so."

But who can guarantee that he can take the first place every time?With so many people in the camp, No. 1 is taken in turn.

Everyone has the possibility, and everyone has the motivation to strive for it.

He Dazhou's personal guards are very envious. They are garrisoned by the imperial court, and they are owed military salaries from time to time. They tighten their belts to live. These government soldiers have a very easy life!

It's just a run, and you can get money!

Except for He Dazhou, the rest of the guards all had blazing eyes.

The reason why He Dazhou is so calm is because he guessed Lou Yu's intention.

However, even if he guessed the intention, there was nothing he could do.With the facts in front of his eyes, even he felt his heart flutter for a moment.

After watching the training ground, the group visited the study area again.

This is specially set up by Lou Yu, which can be said to be a combination of literacy and ideological education.

Elimination of illiteracy is to improve the overall quality of soldiers, ideological education is to build up morale, and to achieve strict discipline and prohibitive orders.

Sometimes, a very small action often has a huge impact on the outcome of things.

Regardless of whether such an influence is good or bad, at least Lou Yu hopes that every soldier can display his strength.

Surprisingly, it was Yang Ji'an who gave the lecture to Fubing!

Not only Lou Yu was surprised, but He Dazhou and others were also quite surprised.

They stood outside the house, and Yang Ji'an babbled inside, speaking impassionedly.

When it comes to the benevolence of Prince Qing's son, he can't stop talking, even Lou Yu, who is thick-skinned, can't stand it.

The point is, what Yang Ji'an said was true, and the soldiers below heard tears welling up in their eyes.

Yang Ji'an clenched his fists: "We eat well and dress well now because of His Highness's benevolence! Your Highness works hard every day to let us live a good life! Do you think such a Highness is worth following!"

"worth!"

"So, you must firmly remember the word 'Celebration'!"

"Yes!"

Lou Yu: "..."

He turned to look at Li Shu.

Li Shu said helplessly: "Your Highness, this matter was not arranged by your subordinates. You proposed that you need to pass the assessment to become a teacher. After Yang Ji'an entered the camp, he took the initiative to ask to participate in the assessment, and his grades were higher than those of previous teachers."

What's more, he taught quite well.

Lou Yu: "..."

Forget it, Yang Ji'an can do whatever he wants, and I hope this job as a teacher will not prevent him from becoming a general.

Yang Ji'an, who was giving a lecture, realized something was wrong. He turned his head and saw a group of people standing outside the house, including His Highness whom he admired the most.

"Your Highness, are you here to listen to my lecture?!"

Lou Yu pretended not to hear his lecture, nodded and said, "Take the guests around."

As a fanatical fan of His Royal Highness, Yang Ji'an knew almost everything about Lou Yu.

He knew He Dazhou's identity, but pretended not to know him, with crooked eyes:

"Your Highness, my martial arts have improved again during this period, would you like to take a look?"

Lou Yu couldn't help laughing, "Okay."

Yang Ji'an rolled his eyes, "I'm sure I can't beat Commander Li, how about I just choose someone to compete with?"

"Of course." Lou Yu agreed with a smile.

Yang Ji'an was very moved that His Highness trusted him so much, and his blood boiled in his chest, so he looked at He Dazhou: "I want to compete with him."

He has been studying martial arts with Huo Yan since last year, and it has been more than half a year.

The Huo family's martial arts are top-notch in Dasheng, coupled with his extraordinary talent, he has a lot of experience in martial arts, and now he has achieved some success.

Who is He Dazhou?

He was just a commoner, and he still learned wild ways.

Being able to become the commander of the Gyeongju garrison is because there are indeed two brushes among ordinary soldiers, and the second is because the Gyeongju garrison is not popular, and people with background and ability will not come to serve.

He and Zhou Man were able to fight many rounds, not because Zhou Man was weak, but because Zhou Man's style was too upright, which was obvious at a glance.

He Dazhou's moves are tricky, in a single player battle, Zhou Man, the big boss, can't beat him.

The capture this time was just because the government soldiers were stronger than the garrison troops.

He Dazhou was not convinced.

And right now, he was being tricked by a child.

Unwillingness and anger rushed to the peak in an instant.

He looked contemptuously: "I don't compare with children."

Yang Ji'an asked seriously: "Is it because you can't even compare with children?"

Lou Yu almost laughed out loud, this kid is so good at flirting.

As for the result of the competition, he was not worried.

In terms of character, Yang Ji'an is superficially reckless, but in fact he knows what he is doing. He generally does not fight uncertain battles.

In the book, the difference between him and Huo Yan is that Huo Yan usually defeats people with tyrannical force and rarely uses intrigue, while Yang Ji'an is scheming and likes to be devious.

Since he said he would compete with He Dazhou, he must have estimated the result.

Ten thousand steps back, even if Yang Ji'an loses, it's no big deal.

He is only in his early ten years old, it is normal for him not to win, and he is not ashamed at all.

All in all, it will only be He Dazhou who will be ashamed.

Would He Dazhou not know?

He refused Yang Ji'an's provocation just because he saw something strange.

But what the kid in front of me said was really annoying, what do you mean by "can't even compare to a child"?

This is trampling on his dignity!

With a dark face and mustache twitching in anger, he said in a hoarse voice, "Fighting you will win you by force."

Yang Ji'an shook his head and said firmly, "You can't beat me."

He Dazhou can bear it, but his personal guards can't, who is nobler than the other!

fuck him!

A personal guard rushed out hastily, "Compared with the commander, you are not qualified!"

After saying that, he punched out.

The strong wind hit Yang Ji'an's face, he squinted his eyes, dodged the guard's fist lightly, slipped to the back of the guard, stretched out his hand and pushed, the guard involuntarily staggered forward a few steps.

Yang Ji'an uses ingenuity, he has learned Huo Yan's true biography, and has comprehended the mysteries of four-two-thousand-thousand-jin, so he uses it with ease.

Lou Yu and the others had retreated a few feet away, and many government soldiers gathered around to join in the fun. The government soldiers who were in class even shouted "Little Master Yang" to cheer him on.

In terms of body shape alone, the guard is tall and burly, while Yang Ji'an is thin and thin, but in terms of skill and heart, Yang Ji'an is far better than the guard.

He seems to be naturally suitable for fighting, his brain can quickly analyze the opponent's moves and the next move or even the next move.

In this way, he can take advantage of the opportunity to defeat the opponent.

The personal guard lost, and the loss was reasonable, not surprising.

He got up from the ground, blushing, and said angrily, "Competition again!"

"enough."

He Dazhou stopped him, staring at Yang Ji'an with small eyes, no longer contempt on his face.

His personal guards had already lost, and he had to win once.

He Dazhou has already seen through Yang Ji'an's tricks, but he just relied on his cleverness to win.

In terms of cleverness, He Dazhou has no fear at all!

He walked to the middle of the field, without talking nonsense, and went straight to work.

But as soon as he got started, he found something was wrong.

The child who fought against him seemed to be a completely different person.

He is no longer a cunning and flexible loach, but an impenetrable high wall.

In front of Yang Ji'an, He Dazhou's cunning has no room for display!

There is a sense of humor that is insignificant.

What was even more frightening was that he discovered that this kid was not only smart, but also had good martial arts skills.

Careless, he was careless!

He was actually tricked by a child!

Distractions are the most taboo in martial arts competitions, Yang Ji'an quickly found out his flaws, and a strangulation trapped him on the ground.

He Dazhou was so ashamed that he couldn't bear it.

The constant applause from around penetrated into his ears like magic sounds, and his so-called pride and self-esteem were crushed by a child.

Yang Ji'an let him go, and ran to Lou Yu eagerly, with "praise" written in his eyes.

"Your Highness, have I made any progress?"

Lou Yu smiled sincerely, and praised sincerely: "It's made great progress, it's great."

Encouraged, Yang Ji'an happily jumped in front of He Dazhou, and comforted him: "You don't have to feel ashamed, you don't blame you for losing, you should blame the court for not giving you a chance!"

He Dazhou wiped his face, "What do you mean?"

Yang Ji'an analyzed it for him.

"When I met His Highness, I was just a little beggar, but His Highness kindly took us in and didn't look down on us because of our identities. He gave us enough food and clothing, and let us study and practice martial arts. It can also be great!"

He looked down at He Dazhou's dazed face, and continued: "But I heard that your garrison has no money, no food, no food, how can you have the strength to train? Just thinking about it makes you feel so pitiful."

He Dazhou: "..."

He spoke with sincerity, and the rest of the guards almost cried when he said it.

Yes, they did suffer.

The imperial court didn't even give them their salaries, and the commander played it many times, but in the end they only got a result of "self-destruction".

But what about these government soldiers?

Eat well and dress well, all of them are full of energy, get good grades in the competition and get bonuses, much happier than them!

Lou Yu said at the right time: "It's already afternoon, why don't you all have dinner together?"

Li Shu immediately asked his personal guards to go over to make arrangements.

Now that the matter has come to this point, it is useless for He Dazhou to resist, he can't even think of resisting.

A group of people came to the cafeteria of the camp area, and the government soldiers lined up neatly, cooking meals one by one, sitting on rows of benches upright, extremely sassy and capable.

He Dazhou was a little shocked, and even faintly longed for it.

The air was filled with aromas, especially the smell of meat, which made He Dazhou and his guards salivate.

How long had it been since they had tasted meat?

Do the soldiers of Prince Qing's Mansion eat such good food every day?

Li Shu asked them to imitate the government soldiers and line up for dinner.

He Dazhou and the others merged into the team, feeling a sense of belonging in a trance.

They cook in a trance, eat in a trance, and return to the barracks in a trance.

This time Lou Yu didn't separate them, but put them together.

Several people faced each other in silence.

Finally, a guard couldn't help but choked up and said, "This is the best meal I've eaten in so many years."

One person speaks, and the others follow suit.

They looked at He Dazhou with red eyes.

He Dazhou's heart was heavy, and he said after a long time: "But they are rebels."

Anyone with a discerning eye can see the intentions behind these actions of Prince Qing's son.

Yi Qinwei muttered: "They all have the same surname, what's the difference?"

The rest of the people's eyes lit up, yes, they are all surnamed Lou, who is their allegiance but not allegiance?

What's more, will the imperial court still control them?

"Commander, I'm already 26, and I haven't married a woman yet." One person laughed bitterly.

Because he is too poor.

He Dazhou appreciates him very much, because he works hard and can endure hardships, otherwise he would not be promoted as a personal guard.

The man continued: "I want to have enough food and clothing, I want to participate in competitions to get bonuses, and I want to save money to marry a wife."

Everyone was silent.

Who the hell wouldn't want that?

But they have sacrificed their lives for the court for so many years, what have they got?

They can only eat cold and hard steamed buns every day, and they can't change a piece of clothes all year round. They say they are the imperial garrison, but who cares about them?

No salary, no reputation, what have they been doing all these years!

He Dazhou asked solemnly: "Are you willing to be a traitor?"

One of them lowered his head: "If you don't become a traitor, you won't be able to survive."

Another person said: "Commander, my mother is sick. As you know, I have been unable to pay for the medicine, so my mother can only procrastinate and procrastinate. Commander, I don't want her to leave!"

After speaking, he cried bitterly.

He Dazhou's eyes were sour, and he silently turned his back.

The man sobbed and said: "I heard that the soldiers of the government can pay the monthly salary in advance to see the doctor for relatives, as long as they verify it, they can get the money."

Of course He Dazhou would not just watch his brother's mother die, but he himself has no money to lend to the other party.

If he wanted to stop his brother's hope, he couldn't do it.

"Commander, what exactly is a traitor?" One person said angrily, "Not only us, but the common people can't survive in this world now! His Royal Highness can let us live a good life, but can the old emperor?!"

He Dazhou covered his mouth, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Commander," one of them suddenly knelt down and cried bitterly, "I'm sorry, my subordinate! But my mother can't afford to wait anymore!"

The rest also knelt down and complained.

He Dazhou stood silently, sighed after a long time, waved his hands and said, "That's all, it's up to you."

Being able to survive is the most important thing, anyway, they are all surnamed Lou, no matter what happens in the future, Dasheng will still be surnamed Lou.

Rather than waiting to die here, it is better to find another way out!

When several people saw him loosen, they couldn't help being overjoyed and persuaded him one after another.

He Dazhou deliberately showed a fierce look, "Get out!"

Several people laughed and left the barracks.

Some people took the lead, and more and more garrisons turned against each other. After all, even the life of the commander and personal guards was difficult, and the life of those low-level soldiers was even worse.

In the past few days of being captured, the daily life of the government soldiers is clearly engraved in their eyes, and they are all envious and jealous.

But frightened by He Dazhou's majesty, they dare not express their thoughts.

Right now, even the commander's personal guards are willing to join the government soldiers, so why do they hesitate? !

More and more garrison troops took off their tattered uniforms and went to register with the steward.

As the leader, Li Shu is very busy.

He broke up a thousand new government soldiers and divided them into groups, trying to make them integrate into the army as quickly as possible to increase their sense of belonging.

He Dazhou hesitated for a few days, but finally compromised.

He was originally a leader, and Li Shu didn't intend to treat him badly, so he was assigned to Zhou Man's group.

Zhou Man used to be the commander of the army, but now he is also at the bottom. What complaints can He Dazhou have?

After the new government soldiers entered the camp, the first thing Lou Yu gave them was to build public toilets.

It is not uncommon for soldiers in the camp to urinate and defecate anywhere. Lou Yu couldn't stand it anymore, so he asked Li Shu to supervise the construction of public toilets.

The recruits come in handy.

Li Shu was originally worried that the recruits would be dissatisfied, but after observation, he found that these recruits were very easy to be satisfied, as long as they ate enough and slept well every day, they could do anything.

While building public toilets, the recruits received ideological baptism, and gradually regarded the military barracks as their home.

After solving the problem of the army, Lou Yu shifted his focus back to production and construction.

The group of refugees in Tianzhuang had been idle for a long time, and Lou Yu was about to call someone to ask questions, when the group of former Huo family members in Yangwu Mountain came back.

They brought back a large quantity of food and a terrible news.

"What did you say? Rebel army?!"

Li Shu couldn't believe it, and stared straight at Wang Dayong.

Wang Dayong looked serious: "That's true. I met a team on the way to transport food. Although they looked like refugees, it can be seen from the actions of the leaders that they were not ordinary refugees."

"That's not necessarily the rebel army." Li Shu still couldn't believe it.

Wang Dayong shook his head and said: "They hate the government very much, they regard officials and wealthy gentry as enemies, and they are extremely fierce. When they met, they thought we were rich businessmen, and almost robbed us of food."

"Uncle Wang, are you injured?" Huo Yanjian frowned.

Wang Dayong said with a simple and honest smile: "Second Young Master, don't worry, what scene haven't we seen?"

"As expected of General Huo's subordinates, they are indeed brave." Lou Yu praised.

Wang Dayong cupped his hands, "His Royal Highness praised you, I am lucky to live up to my fate."

"It's been a tough journey, thank you all for your hard work." Lou Yu said gently, "I have asked people to prepare hot soup, wine and vegetables to clean up the dust for you all."

In this world, it is indeed dangerous to escort food outside, otherwise Lou Yu would not have handed over the matter to the old department of Yangwu Mountain.

He couldn't help but think, if the land route is not safe, what about the water route?

The thought was but fleeting, back to the moment.

In fact, the rebel army mentioned by Wang Dayong was within Lou Yu's expectations.

In the original book, the rebel army made its debut in Zhengqian 30 years ago.

Now that we have been working for 29 years, it is normal for a small group of insurgents to emerge.What Wang Dayong and the others saw was only a small branch.

In the beginning, the rebel army had many scattered forces, and then slowly developed and then merged and expanded.

In the 32nd year of Zhengqian, the rebel army almost broke through the gate of the capital.

If it weren't for Ning Enhou and other loyal ministers and good generals to guard against death, perhaps the country would have changed hands long ago, and there would be nothing about Huo Yan in the future.

Ning Enhou is Sister Lou Yu's in-law's family, a well-established loyalist.

"Right now refugees are everywhere, what do you think about recruiting refugees into the army?" Lou Yu asked.

Li Shu asked: "How much does Your Highness want to recruit?"

"Before the autumn harvest, the strength of Gyeongju Prefecture will be increased to at least [-]." Lou Yu looked at Huo Yan, "Do you think it will work?"

The refugees left their homes and begged everywhere. If they could have a bite to eat, they would definitely be willing to join the army.Instead of cheapening the rebel army, it is better to strengthen the power of Gyeongju Prefecture.

It is not difficult to recruit so many people, the difficulty is the placement of these people.

Huo Yan pondered: "If there is enough money and food, this matter can be done."

Lou Yu asked with a smile, "Then are you willing to lead the army?"

As soon as the words fell, Li Shu looked at Lou Yu in surprise.

What an honor it is to lead an army!

I knew that His Highness valued Huo Yan, but when he heard it with his own ears, he still felt unreal.

You know, Huo Yan is only 15 years old!

Let the 15-year-old boy command the Wanjun, His Highness really trusts Huo Yan!

Li Shu was a little envious, but more convinced.

After all, except for Huo Yan, no one can take on this task.

Before Huo Yan could answer, Lou Yu said again: "General Huo went into battle at the age of 16, bravely marched to the northwest, and recaptured Luoyun Pass; Young General Huo did not lose his father's style, and also went out with his father at the age of 16, and made great achievements in battle."

Huo Yan's eyes trembled and his fists were clenched.

"I believe you will not be inferior to them." Lou Yu's eyes were firm.

Huo Yan was silent for a while, then Fang solemnly nodded: "Okay."

He is a member of the Huo family, and his body is filled with the blood of bravery and fearlessness and the talent of being brave and good at fighting.

Lou Yu's words impacted his long-frozen heart, and inspired his lofty ambition buried deep in his heart, and the ambition he once had revived in his body.

——He also wants to put on a tough fight and defend his family and country.

Now that the country is in ruins and the people are dying, what he wants to protect is no longer the emperor, and what he wants to protect is no longer the imperial court, but to remove the old and bring out the new, to abolish the turbid and promote the clean.

He is willing to work with Lou Yu to carve out a way out in this precarious and chaotic world!

At the right time, Feng Erbi came to report: "Your Highness, there is someone outside the mansion asking to see you, saying that he wants to ask you if you want to buy a horse."

Lou Yu slapped his forehead, he was so busy that he almost forgot Wutimu!

"Please come in."

Wu Timu was wearing a big dress, stepped into the house awkwardly, glanced at Huo Yan and Li Shu, gave a greeting ceremony to Lou Yu, Fang said:

"Is Your Highness still willing to fulfill the promise?"

Lou Yu nodded, "Shopkeeper Wu, sit down and discuss in detail."

Then he said to Huo Yan and Li Shu: "You two also sit down and listen, and talk freely."

Feng Erbi served the tea himself, and retreated outside the house to wait.

Wu Timu didn't like drinking tea, so he didn't move, and said directly: "Does what His Highness said in Nanshi before count?"

Lou Yu said earlier that he wanted to cooperate, but Utimu didn't believe him from the beginning.

After all, it is a fact that King Qing's mansion was overwhelmed by Guo Lian, and he didn't want to believe that Lou Yu, a little boy, could defeat Guo Lian.

But Lou Yu promised him that as long as the matter is over, he will not only do a long-term business with him, but also provide him with an appropriate amount of salt and food to bring back to the family for emergency treatment.

Wu Timu was moved, he chose to give Lou Yu a chance and give himself a chance.

It's just that I didn't expect that in just one day, the 14-year-old Prince Qing took control of the overall situation.

Lou Yu smiled warmly: "Of course it counts, we can sign the contract now."

He ordered Feng Erbi to fetch a pen and paper, and said, "However, shopkeeper Wu must ensure that the horses are of high quality, and if there are inferior horses, he must pay for them."

Wu Timu did not hesitate: "That is natural."

The two were about to make a contract, Huo Yan suddenly said: "How to transport a thousand horses from outside the pass to inside the pass?"

Wutimu Hengmei said coldly: "You don't need to worry about it."

The two of them seemed to be a bit out of place since they started in Nanshi, probably due to a natural disagreement.

Lou Yu smiled, "Shopkeeper Wu has great powers, and Lou admires it."

Smuggling is also a technical job, not everyone can do it.

He glanced at Huo Yan, Huo Yan understood and stopped talking.

The contract has been completed, Lou Yu smiled and said: "I will have someone prepare salt and grain within three days, and you can go to the newly opened grain store in Nanshi to pick it up."

Utimu left contentedly.

Lou Yu signaled Huo Yan and Li Shu to speak up if they had something to say.

"Your Highness bought horses to train cavalry?" Li Shuxin asked bluntly.

Lou Yu looked at his expectant and eager eyes, and couldn't help but smile: "Interested?"

"My subordinates have long been looking forward to it," Li Shu scratched the back of his head embarrassingly, "If there are cavalry, our army's combat power will definitely be able to go one step further!"

He was beaming.

Lou Yu nodded and looked at Huo Yan.

After all, Huo Yan was born in a general family. In terms of vision alone, he is much broader than Li Shu, and he thinks about things in a different direction.

He frowned and said, "One thousand horses is not a small amount. Either he has the supernatural ability to avoid people's eyes and ears, or he has helpers who can respond internally and externally."

Lou Yu looked indifferent, "You mean he colluded with Dasheng Shouguan?"

Today's world is chaotic, if there is another northern barbarian invasion, the prosperity will be in danger.

Huo Yan didn't want to think badly about the frontier army, he just said: "Perhaps Wutimu has other methods."

"Could it be that he is actually a liar?" Li Shu's brain was wide open, "Your Highness, think about it, he is a barbarian, you are the prince, and the court prohibits trading, the contract between you is useless at all, and now he has cheated Yan Liang, if you don’t come back after you go back, not only will you not lose your net profit, but you will also not be able to find him.”

The more he thought about it, the more he felt it made sense, and stood up suddenly, "No, I have to catch him!"

"Okay," Lou Yu stopped him amusedly, "Let him cheat if he cheats, and cheat back to fill his stomach. At least some barbarians will not plunder the border people in a short time, which is also a good thing."

Li Shu was shocked, "Your Highness is really kind!"

Lou Yu twitched the corner of his mouth, he was not kind.

If it weren't for Utimu's true identity, he wouldn't easily cooperate with Utimu.

When Guo Tang mentioned the horse dealer at first, Lou Yu didn't pay attention to it, until Feng Sanmo presented the horse dealer's information, and when he saw "Wutiemu", Lou Yu suddenly remembered.

Although there is not much ink in the original book, it does mention it.

After the hero Huo Yan escaped from Gyeongju, he met a barbarian named "Utimu".

Later, Huo Yan was busy fighting the world, and the Beiman repeatedly invaded the border due to civil strife in Dasheng. Huo Yan had to find time to fight the Beiman.

Wutimu was the new king of the northern barbarians at that time, and he personally led his troops in an attempt to invade Dasheng.

Huo Yan and Utimu are natural enemies, so their auras are extremely different.

When they met in Nanshi, the phrase "the current barbarian king killed his own nephew and ascended the throne" mentioned by Lou Yu was intended for Wutimu.

He is the son of the murdered former king, who is also the nephew of the current barbarian king.

It is impossible for Lou Yu not to take advantage of such an identity.

"Li Shu, stay in the city and take care of the people in the government office," Lou Yu ordered, "Huo Yan, follow me to the farm."

Qingwang Mansion Farm, except for an extra tomb on the mountain, there are no other changes.

When Lou Yu arrived, everyone in Tianzhuang seemed to see the backbone, and their hearts settled down immediately.

He came to the main courtyard to sit down, and called Ah Zhi: "I asked you to register the information of the refugees earlier, are you ready?"

Ah Zhi nodded and presented a roster.

Lou Yu looked at him carefully.

There are four long followers around him, two are lively and two are introverted.

Feng Erbi has a smooth personality and will come to trouble, and A Yan is cheerful and outgoing, innocent but not stupid.

Feng Sanmo was silent and introverted, tending to be steady, and seemed to have no sense of presence.

Azhi is also less talkative, but the difference between him and Feng Sanmo is that Feng Sanmo is more calm and transparent, while Azhi is a little bit noble and self-sufficient.

It's not that Qing Gao is bad, on the contrary, Qing Gao shows that he has a certain moral bottom line and a certain degree of self-motivation.

This is the advantage.

Moreover, generally high-minded people are more or less obsessive-compulsive, as can be seen from the roster handed in by Ah Zhi.

The records in the roster are neatly written, organized and clear at a glance, and there are almost no mistakes. It can be seen that he is quite serious about this job.

Lou Yu turned a few pages and praised sincerely: "You did a very good job."

He only confessed to record the name, age, household registration and other information before, but did not say how to record it.

And in this roster, Ah Zhi is based on the family as the unit.

A family is listed together, including the number of family members, the relationship between family members, etc., all written clearly and very systematically.

It is estimated that if Ah Yan is allowed to do it, he will definitely only memorize it by himself.

Ah Zhi was very happy in his heart when he was praised, but kept calm on his face, and boldly said:

"Your Highness, when I was recording, I found that those refugees were held hostage by bandits. They did not harm other people. I wonder how Your Highness will deal with them?"

Lou Yu looked at him encouragingly, "What do you think should be done?"

Ah Zhi said: "Many of them have volunteered to help farmers these days. Knowing that there is a paper mill by the river, they also want to help with logging, so as to earn some food for food."

He sneaked a look at Lou Yu's expression, saw that his smile was still there, and continued to boldly say: "I think that His Highness's paper mill is short of people, so why not choose some strong laborers from them and give them a bite to eat."

Lou Yu nodded, "You are right, but the paper mill is very important, I can't trust them, what should I do?"

Ah Zhi immediately said: "Sign the deed of sale."

Among the refugees, some want to live in peace, and some want to return to their homeland, but Ah Zhi feels that even if they return to their homeland, it will not help.

If the imperial court would take care of them, would they still leave their homes?

Lou Yu originally planned to incorporate the refugees into the labor force, but he didn't expect that Ah Zhi's thinking was so clear, and he couldn't help but feel very relieved.

He informed the resettlement plan
