What's more, when the war comes, I will at least have a small base, and the food produced by the people can at least ensure that my troops and family soldiers will not be hungry.

Food is the most important thing for people. During wars, food is afraid that food will inevitably become a shortage, or even a living thing. Now the abundant food of the Sui Dynasty can provide food for several years. This is why the Sui Dynasty now seems to be overwhelming in the aspects of banning alcohol and turning a blind eye.

When the troubled times came, several groups of rebels were recruiting troops based on the warehouses established by the Sui Dynasty. For example, after the Wagang Army occupied Luokou Cang, they immediately opened the warehouse and released grain to provide relief to hungry people. The Wagang Army's ranks also developed rapidly, and in a short period of time it increased to hundreds of thousands of people. Li Mi ordered the construction of Xingluo City, which was surrounded by forty miles, which expanded the Luokou Cang several times. The Wagang Army established a peasant regime here, and Li Mi established himself as Duke of Wei.

As one of the four major granaries of the Sui Dynasty, Luokou Warehouse had a total of 3,000 bins of grain, each of which stored 8,000 dan of grain, and set up a defensive granary for thousands of officers and soldiers. According to this record, Luokou Warehouse could accommodate about 2,400 dan of grain, and was the largest granary in the country at that time.

There is a Hanjia Warehouse next to Luoyang, with more than 400 kilns and a grain storage capacity of more than 5.8 million stones.

The total reserves of the four major warehouses exceeded 50 million stones, and these granaries were eventually occupied by the warlords as their capital to recruit troops.

I have never done a grain business, but I know one thing. Since the rebel leaders in history have relied on grain to recruit soldiers, can I do this?

When this young master becomes the lord of a county, he will purchase a large amount of food, which is called a warehouse to prevent disasters. In fact, it can lay the foundation for his future recruitment.

The more I thought about it, the more proud I became. I was so excited that I almost couldn't sleep. I quickly spread out the paper, picked up the short bamboo tube containing ink, shook it, and began to write down my ideas and goals with a goose brush. I had to speed up my pace and determine my future direction. Because, Yang Xuangan, that guy, was afraid he would rebel within half a year.

At that time, my uncle will be exiled to Jiaozhi. If I am stopped by the method, I can ask my uncle to look for Chameng rice in Jiaozhi. This kind of thing is definitely a high-yield goods. With food, there will be everything. Hahahaha...

That night, in my sleep, a field with a yield of 10,000 kilograms appeared. I happily rolled on the rice ears of the padded rice, rolling until I woke up in the morning, which made me not sleep well all night, and my whole body rolled in pain. Damn

Well, I have to make a good plan. The old guy Yang Xiong has returned to Chang'an. I will find a while to chat with this man and find out his words.

Two months, two months passed, and the cold wind seemed so weak, and the accumulated snow also showed signs of melting. On the martial arts training ground, the soldiers who were fully energetic were lined up in neat teams for practice.

Two months have passed, and these guys' behavior has become more and more scheming, whether it is turning left, right or backward, no longer appearing as messy as it was at the beginning.

The five-kilometer weight-bearing training every morning has reached the highest weight-bearing. After running twenty laps, it no longer lie on the ground like a group of dead dogs like those in the first few days.

"Young Master, look at these little boys. After two months of polishing, they have lost their ruffianism and laziness over the past few years, and finally they look like family soldiers." Li Qian stood beside me, his tall and burly body was one head higher than me. At this moment, his face with two knife marks showed a faint look of relief.

"Well, in your opinion, what is the difference between these family soldiers and those who used to be?" I also smiled with satisfaction, stared at the family soldiers who were performing the queue, and asked in a low voice.

"I have also worked as a soldier in the Sixteen Guards. Your method of training is really different from the past..." Li Qian thought about it and expressed his opinion. Although these family soldiers, although their personal strength is good, are all strong masters, they have never been to the battlefield since my father got sick, so they are naturally lazy.

In addition, my two brothers are just two people who are waiting to die and are not enterprising. Apart from taking this guy out with them, they don’t care whether they are practicing or not. Over time, they even lack the practice of martial arts in their hands.

No wonder that day I saw this guy with two big waists and round waists, which seemed to be less than exercise and was obese. But now, two months later, the fat on these guys has been lost. The body shape of the strong body meat looks really big.

The important thing is to train soldiers every day, squeeze all their energy every day, and let them read and read. Nowadays, many of these guys have a pair of classical Chinese characters. I feel sore when I hear them. I secretly hate myself for not teaching anything, so I insist on teaching them "The Analects of Confucius". Fortunately, I took out the "Thirty-Six Strategies" written by my father to educate these guys. This military book with a large number of battle examples is very valuable for reading and reference, at least it is much better than teaching these guys with "The Analects of Confucius".

It is a waste of the guy who is going to fight to kill the land. If you don’t say it’s an enemy, even your comrades will be crazy.

Long-term team training and fighting training have greatly enhanced their martial arts and obedience. Li Qian attaches great importance to this point, believing that even the old corpse, he has never seen that team, which has the elite soldiers of the Duke of Qi's Mansion.

I heard this young master narrowed his eyes, Well, I'm very happy, after all, the achievements he made were recognized by the old soldier. "Don't praise it too much. If there is any leakage in the training method of military training that I have compiled from many military books, if there is anything wrong with you, please tell me and fill in the gaps."

"Don't worry, young master. If you have something to do, I will definitely tell you." Li Qian replied with a smile on his face.

After the queue was finished, they began to wear armor and practice fighting skills. Each two were in groups, holding wooden swords in their hands, and fighting each other. These family soldiers wearing leather armor and helmets danced with the sound of wind. Every time the swords and swords collided, they would make a crisp sound, which made people's blood boil.

The wooden knife is stained with lime. Anyone who is struck by the fortress or is poked into the vitals will naturally lose. At this time, Li Qian, the personal soldier leader, will step forward and guide the loser to be so careful of the opponent's attacks just now and how to counterattack with the trend.

Although he was over 40 years old, once he picked up the knife, Li Qian seemed to be twenty years younger. Even with only one hand, facing the strong young man, he was still as flexible as a cheetah, as fierce as an evil wolf, his opponent rushed up like an evil tiger, but he was avoided easily and kicked the guy with a big foot.

Then he signaled the guy to continue. The family soldiers who were hit by the butt seemed much more cautious, but they were still no longer the cunning, but experienced and powerful Li Qian. After a few strokes, they cleaned up the guy and lay on the ground, beating to death and fighting against the old guy Li Qian again. This caused cheers and laughter.

"Little boys, practice well for me. Don't lose the face of the old duke, don't lose the face of the young master, do you know?" Li Qian, who was calm and unchanged, slapped the wooden knife in his hand into the arms of a stunned family soldier next to him and shouted loudly.

"No" the hundred soldiers agreed in unison, which actually made people feel a sense of tragic as if they were on the battlefield. After raising their hands, they found that sweat had already oozed out of their foreheads. Well, I was so nervous just now. Even if it was just a wooden knife, the fierce fighting was still so thrilling.
