Zhang Liang and Cen Wenben rode their horses and took their men to the outside of Tianjin City. They pretended that they were the grain merchants who came to check the wheat and asked around, and soon they knew where the wheat fields in Tianjin City were.
They left Tianjin City and stopped after running for a long distance.
Because at this moment, they entered a large golden wheat field in front of them. They had never seen such a magnificent wheat field. At this moment, the summer wind was blowing, and the wheat waves were stacked and magnificent, giving people a sense of magnificence.
The only shame is that a river blocked them, asking them to look up and downstream to find if there are any bridges across the river.
"There is no time to do farming, and the May is even harder. When the summer wind blows, the wheat waves will repay the heavenly diligence." Cen Wenben sighed as he looked at the scene in front of him.
Zhang Liang looked at Cen Wenben beside him and always felt that he seemed to be a mistake in bringing this guy around him.
Facing Cen Wenben's sigh, he could only say, "Well said it, I think so too!"
After answering this, several subordinates around him felt that the governor was unknowingly being compared by the minister.
Zhang Liang sighed in his heart that he suffered a loss of being uneducated.
But immediately raised his head and turned around, but saw the people on the road, and went over and said, "Mr., are you planting wheat here? It seems to be very strong. Is there a bridge to cross? Let me wait and see if I cross the river.
.”
The pedestrians looked at Zhang Liang's horses, but they were somewhat envious, knowing that Zhang Liang should be a rich and powerful family.
So the pedestrian thought for a while and said, "These are wheat brought by the King of Yan. This field is even more of the King of Yan's fields. Continue to go north, there is a small bridge."
"Yan King's Field? Is it such a large area?" Zhang Liang frowned when he heard this.
"King Yan, where did you get so much land? But you have slaughtered and robbed the people's land!"
"How do you, an outsider, speak!" The pedestrian heard Zhang Liang's words,
"When King Yan has never been like this? These lands were reclaimed by the King of Yan. The King of Yan has never harmed the world."
Hearing this, Cen Wenben quickly came up and said to the pedestrian, "Don't blame me, brother, I, I, can't speak.
We are also impressed by the good deeds of King Yan, and we suddenly realized that such a large area of land was the King Yan.
Since the Langjun understands this, I wonder if I can tell us why the King of Yan got such a large area of land.
I heard that Lang Jun’s accent is not from Tianjin, but from Henan! I am from Dengzhou, and I don’t know if he is from his hometown?"
"Yeah!" the pedestrian nodded and shook his head.
"Most of our people in Tianjin were rescued by the King of Yan during the flood last year, and most of them were from Henan.
I am from Xuzhou, and most of these fields had already grown wheat when I came. King Yan asked us to take care of the fields here."
"Before you come, these fields have already come out?" Cen Wenben keenly grabbed the pedestrian's words.
"Yes!" the pedestrian nodded, "Before we came, most of these fields had been cleared out."
"How did King Yan do it?" Cen Wenben asked when he heard the man's words.
"We are not very clear about the specific details. We only heard from the predecessors that the King of Yan implemented a mechanized and large-scale farming, using various Mohist utensils and oxen from the north to open up the cultivated land."
Answered.
"Senior?" Cen Wenben asked when he heard this person's words, "But the students of the Agricultural University?"
"That's right!" The pedestrian nodded repeatedly, saying, "They are cutting rice in front of them today!"
When the two of them heard this, they expressed their gratitude to the pedestrian, and then continued to move forward.
The group came to a small bridge that was being built. Zhang Liang looked at the personnel who were building the small bridge, but frowned. He rode a horse and was almost in a position. At the same time, his subordinates around him were also
All consciously came over.
Cen Wenben also felt something was wrong and asked Zhang Liang, "Governor, is there anything wrong with it?"
"The bridge repairers in front have traces of army, so they are a little alert!"
Zhang Liang looked at these people carefully and frowned, "However, these people have no evil spirits on them, so they should not be elites.
But if it weren't for the elite, why would I instinctively become a little alert when I looked at them?"
Zhang Liang looked at the people who were building roads full of doubts, but no one could give him an answer.
Cen Wenben wondered, "Is there any military dispatch in Youzhou that is why such a move happened?"
"Don't know?" Zhang Liang whispered to Cen Wenben, "It's better to be careful!"
At this time, Zu Changming, the sophisticated and strong, came to the two of them and said,
"Everyone, this bridge has been in disrepair. Today, our Jinyiwei is responsible for repairing this bridge, so it is not allowed to pass for the time being.
If possible, please continue north, about five or six kilometers, and there is a new stone bridge that can pass across the river!"
"Embroidered Uniform Guard?" Zhang Liang looked at their clothes, but saw these people wearing silk and brocade clothes, engraved with carp on the leaping water, and said in confusion, "There is no army in the Zhechong Mansion in Youzhou called Embroidered Uniform Guard. Who are you?
!?"
At this time, Zhang Liang looked at the people in front of him and his expression became serious.
For Zhang Liang, he had seen a big scene, but he was not afraid at all.
There were suddenly a group of inexplicable armed forces on this land in Youzhou, and we must figure out this force no matter what.
"We are the personal guards of the Prince Yue Mansion, not the soldiers of Youzhou Mansion!" Zu Changming looked at Zhang Liang a little entangled, picked up the long sword in his hand, pointed to the clothes on his body, and said, "This is the embroidered spring sword."
, This is a flying fish suit, don’t you understand?”
That’s right, Li Tai named his five hundred personal guards Jinyiwei. After all, he was the King of Yan, so it is natural that the King of Yan’s personal guard was called Jinyiwei.
Of course, Li Tai originally wanted to get the Shenji Camp, but after thinking about it, he didn't even call the Shenji Camp, so he would still be called the Jinyiwei.
Li Tai's Jinyiwei is usually divided into two parts, part of which is daily training and part of which is to maintain Li Tai's safety. It is basically changed every season, and the training matter is left to Ren Yaxiang, who brings the guards every day.
It's Lu Anshou.
Of course, this will increase Li Tai's troops' control talent.
Because generally speaking, it is most suitable to train the battle department’s talents with a number of 500 people.
If the number of people is too small, it will be difficult to rely on the organization to gain the talent of the Modern Warfare Department in the early stages.
However, if there are fewer people, it is not impossible to master the battle department talent, but it is just that it is difficult to master it.
For Ren Yaxiang, Li Tai has already provided his own logistics in this way and can allow himself to train unscrupulously. Even if he can't do the 18th Knights of Yanyun, the 18th Knights, he can show his talent in the War Department.
, then it is always appropriate to work hard to achieve two hundred people and master the talent of the Battle Department.
In this case, it would be enough to maintain the personal guards around Li Tai at 200 in the future!
What? In this case, even if the guards around Li Tai take turns, it seems that they only need four hundred people. So what are the remaining one hundred people doing?
Of course, it's training to the death!
Why wasn’t Li Tai’s personal guard elected and became the Jinyiwei of the King of Yan? I still need to tell you what the reason is!
If you don’t practice to the death while others are standing guard for King Yan, you can only sit on the bench all the time.
In short, Ren Yaxiang saw that no matter what request he made during the training, Li Tai agreed almost without thinking, but he didn't want to leave anymore.
After all, Su Lie's military soldiers were not as good as the personal guards of the King of Yan. As long as they were not dead, they would practice to death.
If it were this way of practicing, the army would have been mutiny long ago.
But now, relying on the rich and excessive food provided by the King of Yan and the incredible logistical support that he thought was incredible to himself... This sentence seems to be no longer an adjective, but a real fact.
Of course, although Li Tai did not have any intention of obstructing Ren Yaxiang in training his personal guards and allowed Ren Yaxiang to let go, the orders of the King of Yan also made Ren Yaxiang quite confused, for example.
Every night, Li Tai asked people from the Agricultural College to come over to teach these personal guards to read. Ren Yaxiang went to listen to the lecture, most of whom were loyal to the emperor and patriotism and guarding the Tang Dynasty.
Although I think these things are useless, this is the personal guard of the King of Yan. The King of Yan has his own habits. Since it has not affected his training, I will endure it myself.
Every morning, Li Tai arranged for people from the Agricultural College to check the bed. These personal guards must get up as quickly as possible, but also tried hard to clean the hygiene of their dormitory, and even fold the quilts into
Square tofu cubes.
Although I don’t know what this is for, this is the King of Yan’s personal guard. The King of Yan has to make trouble, and it has not affected his training, so I endured it myself.
Then every month, Li Tai asked himself to take a few days to arrange a relatively simple engineering project for Jinyiwei, or help the people to build bridges and pave roads, or help the people to do farming. Things can be completed in a short time, and the longest time cannot be achieved.
More than three days.
Although I don’t know what this is for, this is the King of Yan’s personal guard. The King of Yan has to make trouble, and it has not affected his training... Well, this time it has affected.
Ren Yaxiang decisively approached King Yan and asked if he could not let the soldiers do such boring things.
Ren Ya said to Li Tai: "The only thing the soldiers, as soldiers, need to do is to obey the orders of their superiors.
Whether it is studying cultural courses or handling dormitory hygiene or other things.
Because of your habits, I will not comment.
But spending so few extra days every month to help Tianshelang do these things is just a waste of time!”
"You are talking about the current army of my Tang Dynasty, but they are my personal guards now!" Li Tai looked at Ren Yaxiang and said seriously.
"As my personal guard, I must at least let them know where their rations come from.
Is it given by my court? I, Li Tai? It was given by the taxes paid by the people of the Tang Dynasty after working hard for a year!
If they don’t understand this principle, then they are not the ones who are united with me. Then how can they be my personal guard!
My personal guards have to do this kind of thing that helps the people of the Tang Dynasty. They can do small things, but they must do it so that they can understand what they need to protect!”
Ren Yaxiang heard Li Tai's words, hesitated for a while, and finally nodded, not saying anything more.
Since Li Tai wants to arrange such things in training, then he just arranges it himself.
Treat this as a rest time for this person. If you train them more strictly, just make up for the training.
This is why Li Tai's personal guards came to repair the bridges, especially Li Tai's army's war department talent is to control it. Woodworking props such as hammerheads and hammers are quite skillful in mastering them.
Although they are holding embroidered swords, it doesn’t need to be surprised if they occasionally hold hammer wrench or something around their waists.
"Embroidered spring sword, flying fish clothes..." Zhang Liang looked at Li Tai's personal guard who was doing labor in front of him with confusion.
To be honest, Zhang Liang really didn't understand, but Zhang Liang looked at their clothes and embroidered spring swords, and he believed in the words of these people.
The main reason is that the embroidered spring knife is basically the same size, and it is obviously made from the same abrasive tool.
As for the flying fish suit, it is even more silk and brocade clothes. Not everyone can wear this level of clothing.
Not to mention whether the level is not level, the only clothes on them, I am afraid that only the King of Yan has the money to let some people wear them.
So, Zhang Liang said to Zu Changming, "It's me that's abrupt. Mr., you guys, continue to build the bridge, and I will continue to move forward and look at the wheat field in front!"
When Zu Changming saw Zhang Liang and others, he didn't say anything more, but said politely, "Everyone will come tomorrow, this bridge will be able to pass!"
After the two parties saluted, they left intertwined.
But Zu Changming looked at Zhang Liang and several people around him and said to someone around him.
"When you go back and report to the King of Yan, you say that a group of people who are unidentified come to Youzhou. I think it was the Fengguan Envoy who was circulating in the beginning of the year that made the King of Yan pay attention!"
After the personal guard saluted Zu Changming, he went straight to Tianjin City.
Zu Changming stared at Zhang Liang and his group for a while, but he was not paying attention and continued to direct his brothers to build the bridge.
After all, this is my task.
At this moment, Zhang Liang and others were crossing the river on the next bridge, but they really saw the wheat straw in the wheat field.
At this time, some people in the fields started to sweep wheat with samaria sickle (sweep). Basically, they waved their samaria sickle around, and then they saw that all the wheat entered the basket of samaria sickle. Compared with squatting, the efficiency was different.
It's more than ten times faster to use a sickle to cut it.
Zhang Liang was a farmer and although he stopped doing farm work, he could see that the tools in these people came very quickly.
In the field, except for the people who used sashimi to harvest wheat quickly, on the other side, they saw plowing oxen pulling strange-shaped hollow utensils and slowly moving forward, with long handles linked to a serrated iron shaped like a serrated one by one.
Making items.
The thing has a big mouth, and there is a serration of iron bars bent into geometric shapes above the front to harvest wheat.
The ox is pushing forward and you can cut wheat without bent down. However, the ox is obviously not suitable for this thing. Someone needs to support the ox to avoid it taking the wrong path. It looks quite strange.
