Because neither Li Ye nor Mu Mu could drink, Nalan Yu didn't get drunk that night.

He got up early the next day and stood in the courtyard of the city lord's mansion to practice swordsmanship. The early morning surprise at the inn gave him the motivation to continue practicing Zhanxue. He felt that he would be able to catch up with his husband's swordsmanship in a few years.

.

Nalanyu, who came to the city lord's mansion early in the morning, stood quietly under the eaves and looked at Li Ye in the snow.

Xindao has only known him for a few years, and his swordsmanship has become more and more powerful, and he probably is no longer his opponent.

When it comes to the way of cultivation, he always feels that he has worked hard. He has never surrendered to anyone since his debut. With his desperate spirit, he was nicknamed "Three Swordsmen" in the imperial city.

But now when compared with his brothers, he obviously lacks confidence. After thinking about it, I can't find any practitioners I know who can compare with Li Ye.

Even the perverted Hua Tianxia only practiced cultivation earlier than Li Yeda. When it comes to enduring hardship, he is probably not as good as him.

Secretly cursing the monster, he turned around and went into the living room, moved a chair and sat in front of the door, watching it as if he were watching a big show.

After a while, after practicing the sword, Li Ye put away the bamboo sword, returned to the house, looked at Nalan Yu and asked: "Brother, have you eaten?"

At this moment, Wu Nashi also came over.

"Master, are you having breakfast at home?" Wu Nashi said.

"You eat with Mu Mu and Yue Ying! I have to go out with my eldest brother now, and it will probably take a long time. You don't have to wait for me at noon. When we come back, we will solve it ourselves." Li Ye said to Wu Nashi.

"We have made arrangements, Miss. You can go out without worries." Wu Nashi nodded to Li Ye.

"Brother, let's go. Let's go to the foundry first and then find something to eat." Li Ye took Nalan Yu's hand and walked out.

The two of them got into the carriage and drove out of the house.

...

When we arrived at the foundry, the craftsmen had already started working.

Nalan Yu led Li Ye to Mr. Lin, who was in charge of management. The three of them exchanged pleasantries before Li Ye took out the new design drawings and handed them to him.

Mr. Lin pressed the drawing and studied it carefully. After a while, he looked up at Li Ye and asked: "Master Imperial Master, are you going to recast all the arrows of the heavy slave?"

Li Ye shook his head and said with a smile: "Ignore what was produced before. From now on, the heavy arrows of the four factories must be produced according to this drawing. You guys try it first. If the manufacturing effect is good, let the four factories produce it."

Every factory follows this standard."

Nalan Yu pressed the drawing in Mr. Lin's hand, lowered his head and looked at it carefully for a while, then asked in a solemn voice: "National Master, why are you revising it like this?"

Li Ye glanced at him and did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked at Mr. Lin and asked, "How about it? Can such an arrow be made?"

Mr. Lin lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then replied with a smile: "There is no problem in making it, but our progress will be much slower. After all, each arrow needs to be grooved, which takes a lot of effort."

"There is no problem with this. You can make whatever you can. You try it first. I will do the test firing in two days. If I can do it, I will ask the foundry for credit and let the generalissimo reward you."

Li Ye said with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll show it to everyone first. Imperial Master, you can take a look around at your leisure." Mr. Lin took the drawing and walked inside.

Nalanyu rubbed the back of his head and thought for a long time. He was so anxious that he took Li Ye's hand and asked, "What's so good about this improved arrow? Why does it look awkward to me?"

"This is a big killer." Li Ye smiled lightly and walked out.

"I said, I can't see what's scary about this!" Nalan Yu followed behind and asked relentlessly.

After the two of them got on the carriage, Nalanyu asked the soldiers driving the carriage to find a place to have breakfast.

Li Yecai looked at him and smiled mysteriously: "Although the heavy-duty arrows we produced before have strong attack power, they only have a single performance, and the damage they cause to the opponent is not particularly great."

"What about the one we designed now? Is it several times more powerful than the previous one?"

Nalan Yu leaned against the carriage window, opened the curtain and took a look outside, and continued to ask.

"The drawing I gave Mr. Lin today shows that each arrow has nine grooves on three sides. Nine small arrows can be inserted into the grooves. When the arrow hits the target, the huge impact force will knock out the nine small arrows.

Shoot a small arrow, which can cause an additional nine damage."

Li Ye said calmly.

Nalanyu was startled and blurted out: "Even so, such a small arrow can't cause much damage?"

Li Ye shook his head and replied calmly: "What I want is just the wound, not the effect of the shot. As long as more people in the grassland tribes are injured, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced."

"These injured soldiers will not be able to go back to the battlefield for two months, and these injured soldiers will consume more of their food and grass. This is my plan."

"The purpose is not to shoot, but just to hurt the other person? This method of yours is quite novel. I have never heard of it. Please let me think about it carefully. I want to be quiet for a while."

At this moment, Nalan Yu suddenly felt that his brain was not used enough.

Li Ye smiled and leaned against the window and closed his eyes. Although he slept a lot these days, he also spent a lot of energy thinking about the many things he would face next.

Now that the weapon improvements were finally coming, he could put some thoughts aside and consider the remaining chores.

At this time, he suddenly had some thoughts and thought that if his husband was by his side, maybe he wouldn't have to be so painful and entangled.

After breakfast, the two of them walked around the military camps again, and it was already late when they returned to the city lord's palace.

Stepping into the living room, Mu Mu and Yue Ying were not in the room, but Yang Kaiyi and the eldest prince were watching a pot of charcoal fire making tea and discussing Taoism. The two of them were chatting happily.

"Two adults, why do you want to come and sit with me today?" Li Ye stamped his feet and walked into the house.

Yang Kaiyi looked at the two people who walked in, shook his head and replied: "Master, you can endure loneliness in the house. You can go for many days without going out. But we can't. We have a lot of things to do, so why don't we come to you?

?”

"Looking for me?" Before Li Ye sat down, he was stunned. He looked at Yang Kaiyi and asked, "Haven't my affairs been arranged? Is there anything else that needs my help?"

The eldest prince looked at his confused look and said with a smile: "We estimate that in a few days, the Imperial City's army will arrive at Nanyun City. I would like to ask the Imperial Master what arrangements he has for these armies? Should we continue with Nanyun City?

Training is like the army."

Li Ye thought for a while, looked at the eldest prince and Yang Kaiyi and asked: "Two adults, what do you think of the war situation after Tianchun? When will this war end?"

The eldest prince and Yang Kaiyi were stunned after hearing this, and even Nalan Yu was confused.

The three of them looked up at Li Ye and were all confused by his question.

Li Ye was also startled. He didn't expect the three people to react like this. He smiled and said, "It's just a casual chat, don't take it seriously."

The eldest prince thought for a while and said seriously: "In the war after the beginning of spring, all parties have advantages. As the defender, we should be 60% sure of winning. As for the end of the war, I can't see it yet."

"My thoughts are similar to those of the Generalissimo," Yang Kaiyi said with a smile.

"If the Imperial Master has any great opinions, please share them to make everyone happy." Nalan Yu joined in the fun.

Li Ye looked at the different expressions of the three people and couldn't help but chuckle.

Said: "My personal idea is to drive the grassland armies back to the three towns before summer comes and end this war before winter comes. I don't have much energy to spend with them in southern Xinjiang."

Are you kidding me? The eighth level of the Perfect Realm of "The Formless Dharmakaya" has not been revealed. I have to go back to Prajna Temple to continue practicing. How can I have the leisure to play hide-and-seek and attack games with the cavalry guarding the grassland every day?

If you want to play, you go.

The eldest prince glanced at Yang Kaiyi and asked Li Ye in a voice: "What good plan does the Imperial Master have?"

Li Ye shook his head and replied calmly: "I don't have any good ideas, but I will fight if I can't defeat them. If they are frightened, they will naturally withdraw to the three towns."

"As long as they withdraw, we will have won half of the war. The rest is for us to pursue the victory and drive them back to the grassland tribes."

"But what does this have to do with the Imperial City and the armies of the five regions coming to Nanyun City?" Nalan Yu, who was getting dumber as he listened, couldn't help but ask.

Li Ye glanced at him and said with a wry smile: "These hundreds of thousands of troops are united in Nanyun. They consume a lot every day and have to be supported by the people of the five regions. The responsibility is indeed not light. The way I think of it is...

..”

"What is it?" the eldest prince asked.

"What is it? Imperial Master, please finish your sentence and don't whet our appetite!" Yang Kaiyi said.

Li Ye paused for a moment, turned to look at Yang Kaiyi and asked: "City Master Yang, is there a lot of open space, wasteland, and land that can be cultivated around Nanyun City?"

"Why are you asking about this? Except for the Nanyun we are facing, which cannot be planted, there is a lot of vacant land outside Nanyun City, and there is also a lot of land that can be planted." Li Kaiyi frowned and replied.

Li Ye nodded when he heard this, looked at the eldest prince and said: "In my personal opinion, before the spring war comes, all the armies should train for half a day, go to reclaim wasteland outside Nanyun City for the other half, and arrange sowing immediately after the spring."

"In this way, the food of the army can be self-sufficient, which will reduce the burden on the dynasty and the various prefectures in the five regions. On snowy days, idleness is idle. Opening up wasteland and farming can also exercise the body."

"Arrange the army to farm the land?" The eldest prince was startled and almost dropped the teacup in his hand on the table. He looked at Li Ye in surprise and asked, "Master, are you serious?"

Li Ye turned to look at him and asked in a solemn voice: "What? Isn't it possible? This army can't farm?"

The eldest prince shook his head, then nodded. He didn't know how to reply. He stayed for a long time before saying, "Isn't this too difficult for them?"

Li Ye looked at the eldest prince, sighed softly, and said, "This is better than doing nothing and going to the battlefield to die after the spring begins. Isn't it much better?"

Yang Kaiyi looked at the two people, thought for a long time, and then said quietly: "I think the method of the imperial master is good. It not only tempers the physical and psychological quality of the army, but also solves the food and grass problem for the dynasty. Even if the emperor is here,

I will also agree with the opinion of the National Master."

Nalan Yu also nodded seriously. He was afraid of poverty and knew what it felt like to be short of food and clothing.

"Since City Lord Yang agrees, then the matter is settled. The specific land issue will be settled by City Lord Yang. Once the general arrives, he will be responsible for motivating the army and training while clearing wasteland for farming. In the military camp,

You must obey the command of the Generalissimo!"

Li Ye spoke slowly, filled with the majesty of a king.

Yang Kai suddenly realized: "Only when there is sufficient food and grass, the national army can be sure to win this war next winter. So this is the truth?"

Li Ye raised his head and glanced at him, and said with a wry smile: "We have to work together on this matter, it is not my own war."

The eldest prince nodded and said seriously: "In order for the people of the dynasty and the world to have a peaceful life, let's do this."

"Arrange the day and I will personally go to the fields with the army to clear up wasteland." Li Ye said calmly.
