Lu Haoshan and his party were a little stunned.:3w.

After about two quarters of an hour, the team of yamen runners and the slaves did not get any advantage. They each left a few harsh words and they parted. The slaves could not deceive others, and the slaves did not arrest anyone, as if they were just gangsters who had just left one after another.

"This, this, sir, that's fine?" Li Dingguo said in surprise.

Before Lu Haoshan could speak, Zhao Gongchang explained: "The King of Shu forcibly occupying the land of the people, but this matter was not revealed. After all, the King of Shu is a royal relative, and the local government dare not do anything to him. So, in fact, they are all indulging their subordinates to make trouble, but they will pretend not to know, so that they can turn big things into small things and small things into nothing. Fighting now is just to show that they are unwilling to give in."

"These people will exploit us poor people, hum," Sun Xiong said with an unhappy look on his face.

In the past, when working as a blacksmith, in addition to paying a lot of taxes, he also had to repair weapons, household items for the government and its officials for free. He had to offer filial piety during festivals and festivals. He worked hard but couldn't eat a bite of good food, but he had to respect others' good food. Sun Xiong felt so unhappy.

Lu Haoshan waved his hand and said, "Okay, this is not your own territory. Be careful that disaster comes from the mouth. Let's go shopping."

The group was led by Lu Haoshan. Now that Lu Haoshan has spoken, everyone will respond. Now, it is better to have less trouble than more things.

As a metropolis of Sichuan, Chengdu's lively and prosperous city can be compared with ordinary small cities. Tang Qiang and Zhao Gong have often seen many worlds and visited the more prosperous capitals than Chengdu. They did not think it was very novel. For Lu Haoshan, who was a man of two lives, Chengdu was just average at this time, much worse than the super cities in later generations, but it was better than the more ancient charm and many local characteristics, which were not found in later generations.

The most important thing is that the ancients were genuine in doing business. There were not as many fakes as later generations.

"Ah, this house is so beautiful." When he walked to Xihuamen, Li Dingguo suddenly pointed to a house with yellow tiles and red walls and said in surprise.

Lu Haoshan looked up and saw that there was a very gorgeous and exquisite house in front of him. It was wrong. It was said that the palace was attached to it. There were yellow tiles, blue bricks and red walls. When he climbed the restaurant near the palace, he looked inside and saw the lofts everywhere. The royal buildings such as the Le Pavilion, the watch pillars, the three bridges, and the stone lions made people feel solemn and murderous. Inside and outside the wall, it can be said that there was a world of difference. The wall was like a fairyland on earth, enjoying all the glory and wealth. Outside the wall, there were mostly people in ragged clothes and hungry faces. Lu Haoshan remembered a poem by the poet Du Fu: The rich family smelled of wine and meat, and the road was frozen to death.

Zhu is a kind of red. The red family refers to the gate of powerful families, but the red family here is the gate of the prince "Zhu".

"This is the Shu Prince's Mansion, it's really majestic." Lu Haoshan said with some sigh.

In 1378, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, appointed his 7-year-old son Zhu Chun as the "King of Shu" and guarded the southwest part of the Ming Dynasty. In 1381, Cao Zhen, the Marquis of Jingchuan, and others went to Chengdu to preside over the construction of the magnificent Shu Palace. After nine years of construction, this Shu Palace is majestic and is the most magnificent among the vassal palaces of the Ming Dynasty. It starts from the east and west Yuhe River in the north, to the Hongzhaibi, to the east and the Donghuamen in the east, to the west, to the Xihuamen in the west, with a circumference of more than 2,500 meters and an area of ​​more than 38 hectares. The entire building faces north and south. The main buildings on the central axis include Chengyunmen, Chengyun Hall, Duanli Hall, Zhaoming Hall, etc., which look extremely grand.

Li Dingguo and Sun Xiong were both stunned. Tang Qiang nodded and said, "Yes, this is the Shu Palace. The emperor has always treated the Shu Palace with great favorable treatment and rewarded many fiefs. Sichuan has rich specialties. Most of the fertile land outside Chengdu City belongs to the Shu Palace. It is said that the Shu Palace is rich enough to rival the country."

No matter how rich it is, it is not the cheapest one?

Lu Haoshan showed a smile that was hard to detect. For him, the King of Shu who could not go out easily was actually a "fat pig" raised in captivity. He would slaughter him as soon as the time came. No matter how much he made now, he would make money for himself. If he didn't come, according to the historical trajectory, it would be a bargain. But when he came, hehe, it was difficult.

However, Lu Haoshan was in trouble soon: I heard that there were many concubines and beauties in the palace. It is said that the princess looked very good. After all, the genes of beautiful women have been passed down from generation to generation, so how bad can it be? I am afraid that it will not be able to bear it at that time...

"Sir, sir, are you okay?" Tang Qiang asked curiously when he saw Lu Haoshan seemingly crazy.

Only then did Lu Haoshan realize that he was distracted, coughed twice, said with a smile that it was okay, and then took people to continue roaming the bustling Chengdu City...

...........

"Huh"

"Ho! Hoho! Hoho!"

"With force, take action quickly, and take steady steps in the lower plate."

"Hurry up, hurry up, if you want to eat and drink, get out of here."

For the military households near the Qianhu Institute, these shouts have become common since the new Qianhu Institute took office. The newly appointed Qianhu Chief has strictly controlled military discipline and training is the top priority. However, recently, I have heard that the soldiers are getting more and more excited in training, and they roared all over the sky, as if they were using all their energy to feed themselves.

It was already November 14th. Lu Haoshan got off his horse and didn't have time to rest. He immediately went to the schoolyard to check the training status of his soldiers. As soon as he arrived at the schoolyard, he saw that in the cold wind, snow was flying and the days when the air was filled with smoke, the soldiers still insisted on training. Some were holding stone locks, some were practicing spears, and some were fighting military fists. They were sweating profusely. The heat emitted by their bodies met the cold air, and they looked like a "steamer", and hundreds of people looked even more spectacular.

Not bad, it's only been more than half a month, and this mental outlook can be said to have been completely renewed. The essence, energy, and spirit have come out. At least, the attitude is correct.

There are many factors for good soldiers. The most basic thing is to have a strong physique, good military literacy and unconditional obey orders. Lu Haoshan has always built an army in this direction.

"Sir, you're back."

"Sir Thousand Houses"

"grown ups"

Seeing Lu Haoshan suddenly appear in the schoolyard, the soldiers saluted Lu Haoshan respectfully, and Lu Haoshan nodded in a friendly response.

At this time, the military advisor Li Nian received the news that Lu Haoshan came back and hurried to sue in a big cotton jacket: "The student has met Dongweng."

After not seeing each other for more than half a month, Li Nian lost weight again. It is estimated that he has worked a lot these days. Lu Haoshan quickly helped him up and said, "Mr. Li, don't have to be too polite. Thank you for your hard work these days."

"Don't dare, these are the students' responsibilities."

Having a good military advisor can indeed save a lot of trouble. Li Nian is not only talented, but also works very hard and works hard in everything. Lu Haoshan is very at ease with him.

The two walked and chatted. Lu Haoshan looked at the soldiers who worked hard on the school field and asked happily: "Mr. Li, what method do you use to make these guys train so hard?"

Li Nian said with some shame: "Sir, students dare not take credit for this matter. Now Qianhu is using the same set of the original picket team. They use rankings, positions and different levels of food to make them work hard. They have been very energetic in training these days, but they have spent a little more money."

When he walked to a stone table, Lu Haoshan signaled Li Nian to sit down, and then he smiled and said, "If you want a horse to run, this grass must not be missing. It doesn't matter if the expenses are big, as long as the expenses are worth it, Mr. Li, how are you doing recently? Everything is going well, right?"

"With the cooperation of the Lin family, the adults also performed a good show in front of the heads of the hundred households. It can be said that the progress is very smooth. Now we have broken up our people into ten hundred households. The troops of the thousand households of Wenchong are all in the hands. However, the quality of those personnel is uneven, and some are really unbearable, and it is useless to keep them. The students divide people into two levels, which can be made and cannot be made. The materials that can be made will be kept in the military camp to continue training, while those that are not available will be allocated to the heads of the hundred households to assist them in maintaining public order and also for the purpose of the thousand households to open source."

After pausing, Li Nian continued: "Those hundreds of household leaders asked them to hand over their military power and engage in public security, inspection and other work, so as not to be idle and do nothing, and they also need soldiers under their command. It is also considered to be a good use of the things. The students used the performance of Jiangyou County Government as a reference and set up a point system. At that time, the benefits will be distributed based on points. Judging from the practice in the past few days, the results will be good."

Lu Haoshan said curiously: "Do these hundreds of households have no objection?"

"No," Li Nian raised three fingers and said, "The main thing is three points."

"I hope to hear the details."

"One is that Dongweng is a thousand households, and they are a hundred households, and they still have the handle in Dongweng's hands, so they dare not act rashly. Second, the Lin family's full cooperation makes them afraid of the rats. The last and most important point is that the Qianhu Institution of Wenchong is the most oily and water. The adults are in charge of this garrison, guarding the gateway into Sichuan by land, and eating and living in the Jialing River. It is no exaggeration to say that the other nine garrisons of Wenchong are not as many as Wenchong in total. The adults integrate the interests of the hands to share the interests with them. They will only get more, not less, so how can they disagree?"

So that's it. No wonder they promised so readily that day. Lu Haoshan thought for a moment, nodded and said, "As long as they are obedient, it doesn't matter if they give them more benefits. Mr. Li, supervise them well and don't let them cause trouble."

"Yes, the student will accept the order." Li Nian said respectfully.

Lu Haoshan suddenly frowned and asked, "Mr. Li said that the quality of the soldiers in this garrison is uneven. There are already vacancies in these hundreds of households who have been paid for empty wages. If you clean up a group of elderly, weak, sick and disabled people, wouldn't that be the soldiers in an emergency? How many people in Wenchong Qianjia are now?"

"Yes, Dongweng is right. There are less than nine hundred soldiers now."

"What? Less than nine hundred people?"

Li Nian nodded with a wry smile and said, "This is the only one we brought with us. The 1,120 people in the Thousand Households are 1,120 people, and after counting, they actually get 923 people. The rest are empty. This ratio is already very low. Unfortunately, many of them are old, weak, sick and disabled. They are only about 500. Even if they have more than 300 adults, there are less than 900 private soldiers. Not only are there scarce personnel, but the equipment also needs to be replaced. If you want to train as a cavalry, this horse is also a big problem."
