"How about General He sees me as a cavalry?" Li Xin suddenly thought of something and pointed to the cavalry behind him and said. Jiang Yi is a master of military strategy and his background is unknown, but He Kegang is also good. Although Li Xin looked down on him, he had to admit that Guan Ning Iron Cavalry is still among the strong soldiers. His training method is still very good. If He Kegang can give some advice, it is of course the best.

"So good." He Kegang looked at it, then said with a smile.

Seeing that there was no change in his expression, Li Xin understood in his heart that He Kegang obviously did not like Li Xin's cavalry. This is no wonder that the Guanning Iron Cavalry where He Kegang is now is extremely powerful. Even if Li Xin used other training methods, it can only be said that these cavalry individuals are very capable, but as cavalry, these are undoubtedly not enough.

"If the general is fine, why would you give these guys a few tricks?" Li Xin's eyes rolled and he suddenly said.

"Haha! You guy!" He Kegang was stunned when he heard this, pointed at Li Xin and laughed loudly. Finally, he shook his head and said, "I don't have time to guide you, but what I want to tell you is that if you train cavalry, the best way is to go hunting. There are many tigers, leopards and jackals in this Liaodong. You have to let more than 10,000 laborers eat a full meal. It is OK to buy food by yourself, but it is very expensive, but if you hunt while you are still hunting, you can support you. Of course, if you can take the opportunity to kill some Dongliu and get silver, it would be better." He Kegang patted Li Xin's shoulder and laughed and left.

"Young Master, this guy is too rampant." Yang Xiong said dissatisfied.

"He has the qualification to be rampant." Li Xin said indifferently: "Since he has given some advice, then according to what he said, we will start hunting in the past few days! Alas! Taking care of such a person for work is also a headache! Yang Xiong, you go to the city to find Zhang Yifu, and Dr. Xin. If nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely be inside."

"Yes." Yang Xiong was happy when he heard this, and ran towards the city with a smile.

"Young Master, Zu Dashou did not make things difficult for you this time?" Gao Meng asked nervously.

"Have you heard General He Kegang say just now?" Li Xin said disdainfully: "Zu Dashou asked me to issue a military order to build Dalinghe City in two months."

"Two months?" Jiang Yi was stunned and looked at Li Xin with a surprised look.

"Don't worry, if the construction can be completed in two months, it will be good. If the construction cannot be completed, we will leave." Li Xin's face was gloomy, and a hint of cunning appeared in his eyes. He said with a smile: "If the construction is not completed in two months, the only possibility is that the Donglu has come to kill. At that time, it will be time for us to escape. Once the Donglu comes, his Zu Dashou will not have time to take care of us. I'm afraid that Dalinghe City will be closed and guarding the small land. Dalinghe City, hehe, even if there is enough food and supplies, he is not an opponent of the Donglu. The most effective way to deal with the Donglu is not to resist the city and defend it, but to fight with it in the field and use cavalry to fight him."

"Young Master, aren't the cavalry of the Donglu very powerful? How can you fight with them in the field?" Gao Meng asked hesitantly.

"Remember, since the emergence of cannons, the defending party has become extremely unfavorable. Changes in cannons can change the entire history of war." Li Xin said with a smile: "One day, the bows, arrows, swords and guns in our hands will become waste, and the ones we use are long spears and short cannons."

"I know. The young master is talking about a musket. It's heavy and large. After firing a shot, it's quite troublesome to load gunpowder. Why not use a bow and arrow?" Gao Meng said disdainfully.

"What do you know?" Li Xin laughed and scolded: "What you said is not the same as what I said. The current muskets are not as easy as bows and arrows, and they are powerful. But they will be different in the future. The times are developing, let's talk about this red-clothed cannon! What were used to attack cities in the past? Jiang Yi, tell me."

"If you are young master, you used a catapult before." Jiang Yi said without thinking.

"Look, I used to use a catapult, but only 150 steps. But now the red-clothed cannon is far above the catapult, let alone the power of killing people." Li Xin shook his head and sighed. If there were no red-clothed cannons now, perhaps there would be a considerable advantage in refusing the city and defending the city. Unfortunately, with the red-clothed cannons now, resisting the city and defending the city is actually not much better than field battles. In some aspects, it is even worse than field battles. Jiang Yi on the side stopped talking when he heard this, but his eyes were deep, as if he was thinking.

"Go, go!"

A war horse neighed, but Yang Xiong rode in the distance, and behind him, a carriage followed closely. Who was Zhang Yifu sitting in the carriage?

"Haha, Mr. Li, are you looking for me?" Zhang Yifu saw Li Xin, and his fat face was filled with smiles.

"I won't go to the Three Treasures Palace without any trouble. If I have nothing to do, I won't come to you." Li Xin looked solemn, and went up to him and said, "I have already made a military order in front of Zu Dashou and built Dalinghe City within two months, so I need your help."

"Two months?" Zhang Yifu was stunned, suddenly screamed, pointed at the Dalinghe City in the distance, and said in surprise: "Young Master Li said that you would prepare to build Dalinghe City in two months? Young Master, don't think that this Dalinghe City is not as good as Jinzhou, but if you want to build Dalinghe City in two months, you must have 30,000 civilians. Young Master, how can you make such a military order?"

"That's why I need your help." Li Xin said as if nothing had happened. He had a way out in his heart, so how could he care about the two months of problems? He did this just to do his best. There were tens of thousands of people in Dalinghe City. It would be a pity if he was killed by the Donglu.

"Young Master, I can't help this." Zhang Yifu shook his head and said, "I don't have so many people under my command. You might as well go to Governor Qiu, maybe you can."

"I don't need people, I need food." Li Xin shook his head and said, "I know you can buy a lot of food. You know, when we build Dalinghe City, the food we need is transported from Songshan, but there is not much food for each transfer. People who work here sometimes drink two meals of porridge a day, and sometimes eat it once a day. Where can I have the energy to work?"

"What does the young master mean?" Zhang Yifu frowned and said, "Young master is going to give them some food to eat?"

"A sparse and two dry." Li Xin said without thinking: "I want them to eat enough, and my guards will hunt around and eat them with meat."

"Young Master, this?" Zhang Yifu was completely shocked. Not to mention these labors, even those in the Guanning Iron Cavalry rarely received such treatment! Now he completely understood Li Xin's approach. There was no one, but if they were given enough food to work, the speed would definitely increase a lot.

"Young master, is it worth doing this? It's not a small number!" Zhang Yifu swallowed and asked nervously. Li Xin wanted to raise hundreds of cavalry around him now. It is obviously not enough to rely on Zu Dashou's supplies alone. God knows whether Zu Dashou will deduct his own food and grass? Then only Li Xin's expenses are left. If the food of these laborers is added, it will not be less than 10,000 taels of silver per month. When he thinks of this number, even Zhang Yifu feels painful.

"If you want the horse to run, you have to eat grass, it's not." Li Xin said with a sincere smile on his face, "These labors are also humans. How can they do this? If this continues, even if the work is completed within two months, there will probably be many people here. God has the virtue of living a life. I, Li Xin, don't want to be such a bad person."

"Young Master is really kind and righteous!" Zhang Yifu sighed and bowed and said, "Since the young master is so kind and righteous, if the villain does not agree, it will seem extremely unbearable. Don't worry, the villain will arrange food now. The villain still knows a few big grain merchants in Jinzhou City, and immediately ask them to send food and grass."

"Okay, this is 30,000 taels of silver notes. Please ask Master Zhang to ask them to get some lime and some equipment for building cities." Li Xin nodded and took out 30,000 taels of silver notes from his arms without hesitation.

"Young Master is so happy." Zhang Yifu happily turned around and left, obviously helping Li Xin arrange food and supplies.

"Young Master, since we have already figured out our retreat, why do we have to spend so much effort?" Gao Meng said dissatisfied. Yang Xiong also nodded.

"These labor is also a wealth! You can't buy even ten thousand taels of silver." Li Xin said without thinking: "Working all day long and having a very strong physical strength. If we can get them into our pockets, we can at least get thousands of elite soldiers. I just don't know how many people can survive in the chaos."

"What does the young master mean?" Yang Xiong asked in surprise.

"Give it with kindness, you should repay all your strength." Jiang Yi said lightly: "Young Master lets them have a full meal, and they will naturally repay the young master. Not only will they work hard, but once the city is successfully built and the Donglu besieged Dalinghe City, the young master will take the opportunity to escape, and these people will follow the young master. Even if most people don't follow, there are always a few who will follow the young master."

"You're right." Li Xin said what he thought without hesitation. No matter what he does, it's always impossible for no one around him. Although there are more than 400 people around him now, these more than 400 people can't do anything on the grassland. No one doesn't like his many people.

"So much money!" Yang Xiong on the side still looked regretful.

"If you want to give up, how can you get it without giving up?" Li Xin smiled and patted Yang Xiong's shoulder. Li Xin looked far away. Silver was just something outside of his body. If his own business was not completed, no matter how much money he had, he would only be cheaper in the end. So what he had to do first was not to make achievements, but to save his life. Everything was based on saving his life.

"It's time to eat! It's time to eat!" At noon, the laborers who were working slowly suddenly heard a sound of gongs, and saw a team of soldiers guarding buckets of rice. Walking into the construction site, the fragrance of rice instantly spread across the construction site. The snow-white rice made the boss of the laborers' mouths open, and the saliva flowed down. At this time, the Ming Dynasty was a year of famine. Not to mention rice, even rice porridge, it was hard to drink. Is this the Ming Dynasty without rice? Obviously not, in Jiangnan, all kinds of fine wines came from one after another, and where did these fine wines come from? They were not brewed with rice. The Ming Dynasty's turquoise treasures never lacked rice. But you have to spend money to buy these rice. Where can you afford it? Not to mention these people who act as laborers. You have no money to buy them.

"Listen, Mr. Li bought these rice from Jinzhou by himself." At this time, a soldier in armor next to the wooden barrel shouted: "Do you know why Mr. Li did this? Because Marshal Zu asked you to complete the construction of Dalinghe City within two months, otherwise they would be executed. Mr. Li pity you and could not bear to be killed like this. However, the commander's military order cannot be changed. Mr. Li thought that if you are full and work, you will be stronger and you will be faster. The construction of Dalinghe City will definitely be completed within two months. So Mr. Li paid for the money himself, so that you can eat a full meal every day. Every morning, there is porridge and chopsticks that cannot be inserted. There are rice and steamed buns at noon and evening, which will be enough for you. As long as you work hard, Mr. Li will give you meat soup in the future! Now you can come and have dinner."

"Oh! Thank you Mr. Li, Daren and Dayi. Thank you Mr. Li, Daren and Dayi." After a while of surprise, these laborers immediately cheered and prepared to come and grab food.

"Looking in line, queuing, everyone has it." Seeing this, the soldiers quickly waved the weapons in their hands and said loudly. In the sun, the long sword was shining with cold light, and the laborers who stabbed them did not dare to act rashly. In desperation, they had to line up a long line. But soon they found that the soldier said nothing wrong, and that the rice was indeed enough.

"Young Master Li is such a good person. How can you not serve him if you treat me like this?" someone shouted in the crowd.

"Yes, I dare not serve Mr. Li." Another person in the crowd took the speech and said loudly.

Less than a moment later, there were bursts of shouts coming from the construction site, including burning bricks, watering, etc. The entire construction site was in full swing. Li Xin and others could see clearly, and smiles appeared on their faces.

"Young Master is really a clever idea. After eating rice, these people are really energetic." Jiang Yi couldn't help but say. He was puzzled by Li Xin's approach, but now he was even more surprised when he saw this.

"That might be, young master, look, those people." Yang Xiong on the side shook his head, pointing the horse whip in his hand at several people in the distance. Everyone looked at several strong men lying there without any movement.

"Zhi Niang, you are so bold. The young master kindly gave them food. They are so slow to treat the young master, and they really deserve to kill him." Gao Meng couldn't help but roared, and was about to rush up and pull him over and beat him to death.

"Go, help him." Seeing that Li Xin did not stop him, Yang Xiong knew that Li Xin might want to teach them a lesson. He waved his hands to the soldiers behind him. Seeing this, the soldiers showed excitement on their faces and followed Gao Meng closely. In an instant, they heard screams and begging for mercy from afar.

"Haha, my master's meal is not that delicious." Li Xin shook his head and said, "Jiang Yi, send a few people to organize these civilians into four parts and build them in four directions. Tell them that part is the first to be built, and each person will be rewarded with one tael of silver. Which part of the person performs best in the future and can eat meat. If he does not perform well, he will drink porridge."

"Then aren't these guys crazy about money?" Yang Xiong exclaimed.

"There must be a brave man under heavy rewards. The so-called distinction between rewards and punishments is the same." Li Xin's eyes flashed with a gloomy flash and said lightly: "If there is no competition, how can we achieve results? Whether it is done or not, can this city be completed in two months?"

"Young Master Shengming." Jiang Yi said without thinking.

"Those guys are not allowed to eat at night." Li Xin pointed to several guys with bruised noses in the distance and snorted coldly: "These guys are going to keep an eye on me. If you don't care about your work, you'll beat them up."

"Don't worry, my subordinates must train them hard." Yang Xiong said proudly.

"Of course it's good." Li Xin glanced at the entire construction site and said, "If so many light and strong people can form an army, it's a powerful force!"

"Young Master wants to bring them into the army?" Jiang Yi shook his head and said, "This may disappoint the young master. If such a person joins the army, he may not be able to reach a first-class level."

"Haha, the big waves are rushing gold, and the ones that can stay are naturally the best." Li Xin laughed and said, "When you wait until the future, the ones who can keep up with our rhythm are good soldiers." Jiang Yi nodded, and he naturally knew the meaning of Li Xin's words.

"Hmph, these thieves will show them goodbye next time." On the other side, Gao Meng walked over cursingly.

"Let's go! Yang Xiong, you're here to watch. Let's go out hunting." Li Xin greeted Jiang Yi and others and said. He ignored Yang Xiong's bitter face at all, and led Jiang Yi and Gao Meng onto the war horse and disappeared from the spot.
