Chapter 31 Soldiers Issues
The two followed Du Lie into the house and heard a Korean woman nagging on the stove while brushing the pot.
"Marrying you, a refugee from the Western Kingdom, is a big trouble. I am about to be in the midst of the Chinese New Year, but the rice jar is clean. The family of four waits for the rice to be put into the pot. What's the point?"
While scolding, I suddenly saw Li Luo and Cui Xiuning coming in and felt a little embarrassed.
Du Lie's face turned red, he rubbed his hands and shouted to his wife: "You haven't poured two bowls of water yet! He cursed when he saw the sky!"
He turned to Li Luo and laughed: "I let Brother Li and Miss Li laugh, my family is just that temper."
Several people sat down at the edge of the fire pit. Li Luo found that the fire was very small and should not dare to put more firewood. He was working in the back of a 14 or 15-year-old boy who was cutting a stick. He knew that there was a guest coming, but he didn't raise his head.
"Yan Jun, I haven't seen the uncle of the Li family yet!" Du Lie said.
The boy looked up at Li Luo and glanced at the corner of his mouth, "He can't be how old I am, what is my uncle?"
"Rareless! Why are you going to die?" Du Lie was furious.
The boy stood up reluctantly and bowed his hand perfunctorily, "Yan Jun has met his uncle." When he stood up, Li Luo found that he was almost 1.7 meters tall, but he was too thin.
Without waiting for Li Luo to speak, Yan Jun sat down and continued to peel his wooden stick.
How could Li Luo have been skeptical about this rebellious and strong-willed half-best boy? He was too lazy to quit and put down the food bag directly, "Brother Du Lie, this is a bucket of grain, you can deal with it for a few days first."
Du Lie knew that Li Luo should have made a fortune, but a bucket of grain is very expensive now, so he quickly refused: "Brother Li, how can I ask for your food? Take it back quickly."
His wife quickly came over with two bowls of water and handed it to Li Luo and Cui Xiuning and smiled and said, "Please drink water, it's too negligent Simida." As she said that, her eyes were snatching Du Lie fiercely.
Li Luo pretended not to see it, "Brother Du Lie, we were just here before, thanks to you helping us clean up our residence. Now I don't need this little money or food. If you refuse to say goodbye to me, that's a dissatisfaction."
Du Lie was a cheerful person, but when he saw that Li Luo was so sincere, he no longer refused.
Li Luo gave Cui Xiuning a look. Cui Xiuning took out the copper coins of Yi Guan and said to Du Lie, "The New Year is coming soon, so I will buy some New Year's goods for my sister-in-law." During this period, she often learned Goryeo with Li Luo and could communicate easily.
What?
Madam Du Lie was stunned.
This is a consistent amount of money!
How expensive is the money you always have now? But you can buy five dou of rice!
"Oh, Li's wife, how did this make it?"
Madam Du Lie was a little excited. She wanted to take it, but she was embarrassed and could only look at Du Lie.
Du Lie's eyes were red. He knew that since Li Luo wanted to give it away, he would have collected them all. Now that the food has been cut off, Brother Li helped him in time, so he naturally could not smear his kindness. At worst, he could try to repay him in the future.
"Please take it." Du Lie nodded to his wife, then bowed to Li Luo, "Brother Li, you helped me get through the level. I won't say anything polite."
"What are you talking about? Apart from Dad Yan Duo, Brother Du Lie is the most intimate person here. I am not short of this little money and food now, so I will naturally not forget the two of them." Li Luo said.
Du Lie nodded, "Brother Li is so righteous. Speaking of Dad Yan Duo, he probably has no food. I have been thinking about how to find some food for the old man. Now, Brother Li should still go to Dad's house, right?"
Li Luo stood up and said, "I have been to my brother's house, so I have to send some money and food to Yan Duo's father."
"I'll go with you." Du Lie also stood up and took the food bag that Cui Xiuning carried.
The few people left the house together, not only Du Lie and the little girl, but also the young Yan Falcon.
Yan Jun actually didn't send a few people out. He said, "I'll go with Uncle Li, too."
"Mom, I'll have rice tonight." Seeing a few people leave, the little girl went back to the house to hold a handful of white rice, and her eyes were filled with crescent smiles.
"Eat rice? Little girl, are you going to be dying? The uncle of the Li family kindly gave us the rice to celebrate the New Year! It would be so beautiful that you would like to have a porridge at night. Why do you want to have dry rice?" Du Lie scolded, while happily hiding Yishen Coins.
Half an hour later, Li Luocui Xiuning and Du Lie and his son came to Yan Duo's house together.
Yan Duo also lost a lot of weight and looked very happy to see Li Luo and others coming to the door.
"Dad." Seeing Yan Duo getting skinny after half a month, Li Luo and Cui Xiuning couldn't help but feel a little sad. The first person they saw when they came here was Yan Duo. Yan Duo gave them food and clothing and housing after they first arrived. After this hard life, they realized how precious the mutton eaten at Yan Duo's house was. If it weren't for Yan Duo's kindness, the two might have been frozen to death.
Seeing the money sent by Li Luo, Yan Duo just nodded and accepted it without any pretentiously. He was not lucky during this period and had no harvest after several hunting trips, but he did not find a few arrows.
If Li Luo hadn't sent Qianji, he would have been very sad for the New Year. But he was over 60 years old and had already taken life and death lightly.
Several people surrounded the fire pit and roasted the fire for a while. Li Luo took out Zhihai's letter and handed it to Yan Duo and said, "Dad, please help me with details."
Yan Duo took the letter and read it for a while, frowned and said, "This Du Village is not easy to do, but if you want to be serious, it is suitable to train a few soldiers." Although Yan Duo had long seen that Li Luo was not an ordinary person, he was also surprised that he had obtained an official position so quickly.
Du Lie was stunned, "Brother Li wants to be an official from the Duzhai?"
Li Luo nodded: "I will go to Jianghua Mountain City tomorrow, and the official position will definitely be completed. It's just this village hero."
Yan Duo and Du Lie have both done big things before. Although it is a bit surprising, a mere Nine-rank Du Village will not make them fuss.
"Duzhai is controlled by the delegation training envoy, but this Jianghua delegation training envoy is said to be a formal official." Yan Duo said.
Li Luo's face looked a little ugly, which he didn't understand. It turned out that there was a group training officer in charge in the capital village. So how much freedom can he have?
Yan Duo saw Li Luo's expression and smiled and said, "You don't have to worry. The group training envoy is just a hand-off manager and almost doesn't care about the matter. If you do this Duzhai, the Mani Village will naturally make the decision within twenty miles. As long as the county magistrate manages the matter well, it will be fine. But, just."
"Dad, but it's okay."
"If you are a springboard for promotion, you can just do it perfunctorily and not make a big mistake. After a while, you can plan your job. But if you want to train a few useful soldiers, it will be different. Li Luo, tell me the truth, why do you want to be a ninth-grade Duzhai?"
"My good teacher learned that the world is unstable now, so the boy naturally wants to train a few soldiers. Retreat can protect his own wealth, and advance can defeat the thieves and make contributions. This is the boy's first priority in seeking an official." Li Luo knew that he could not hide Yan Duo at all, so he simply said it.
"Since it is for training troops to protect yourself, the soldiers and money and food are all obstacles. If you don't talk about money and food, you may be able to get help from your family. But it is really not easy for the soldiers of this village. I speak frankly and don't bother you. The Korean people are not good at fighting, and they are still lacking some blood courage. The Korean township you have trained can only protect yourself. It is difficult to suppress the bandits and make contributions!" Yan Duo sighed.
Li Luo knew that Yan Duo was right, and this was also the reason why he asked Yan Duo to take into account. He didn't have to worry about money and food, and he had many ways to make money as long as he had time. But what about soldiers? Soldiers are a big problem.
Can you train a good soldier if you have money? A joke.
An elite soldier not only needs to have abundant money and food to feed, but also needs to have good quality soldiers. If the quality of the soldier is poor, you can't train good soldiers even if you have a mountain of gold and silver. Is Italy's weapons not good in World War II? But they lose big, and lose small. Because the Italians are really not suitable for proper soldiers.
Li Luo is facing this problem now. The Koreans are not good at fighting, they are not good soldiers.
In history, the Goryeo people have never had a strong war. The truly powerful Goguryeo people in Liaodong actually have nothing to do with Goryeo.
Li Luo came here just to get some Jurchen elite soldiers!
As an ambitious man, how can you expect a group of Korean soldiers?
In Li Luo's plan, it must be mainly Han soldiers, Jurchen soldiers as auxiliary, and Goryeo soldiers must also be included, because Li Luo is now pretending to be a Korean. Goryeo people are not needed at all, so it is definitely unreasonable.
