Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

This piece of land is about tens of acres.

Even if the planting density is less, it is enough to plant these seeds.

At the time of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, the total population was just over 200 million households, and they were mainly concentrated in the Yellow River Basin.

At this time, Suzhou, Hangzhou, and the central area of ​​Sichuan were all populations withered, the people were uneducated, and the production and living technologies were quite backward.

It can be seen what the situation is in the more remote Youzhou boundary.

At the same time, in the Tang Dynasty of more than 600 A.D., there were several ice ages during the distance from later generations.

At that time, the climate was relatively humid and warm.

Chang'an, in particular, is very different from Xi'an in later generations in terms of climate.

Afterwards, Li Qiu left Wang Xuance and all the gardeners and craftsmen brought here, as well as more than 20 guards.

Hold them accountable, and be sure to plant those seeds without fail.

At the same time, he also ordered Song You to recruit a group of healthy refugees to obey the dispatch and assist in planting.

And coming here to work is not considered corvee, and Li Qiu will give them extra money to subsidize the living of their families.

In ancient times, there were corvee service and military service.

Military service, of course, needs no explanation.

Corvettes are transferred by the government to do work for free, such as road repairs, city repairs, and so on.

In the past, the recruitment of corvees among the common people was disliked and forced.

But this time I heard that it was General Li Qiu, and Lord Li Qiu wanted to conscript to help with planting.

These refugees, as well as the original people in Yizhou, rushed to come here one after another.

And when they heard that Master Li Qiu had ordered that this time it would not be considered corvee, and that they would give you wages.

These people stared at each other, our life was given by General Li Qiu!

Now we finally get the opportunity to help Master Li Qiu, how can we ask for the money issued by General Li Qiu? !

If we took General Li Qiu's money, wouldn't we be poked in the back by others?

After finishing the preparations, Li Qiu handed over the entire place to Wang Xuance.

He is now 14 years old, and his talents in all aspects have also been highlighted.

Coupled with his extraordinarily mature and stable personality, Li Qiu was quite satisfied and relieved.

In addition, before leaving, Li Qiu transferred more than 600 officers and soldiers from Yizhou to Youzhou.

Only 100 people were left for Yizhou.

Regarding this, Song You, the governor of Yizhou, was a little bit bitter.

Speaking of the small number of officers and soldiers, there are only 100 left now.

Once the bandits and Turkic cavalry come, they will have no resistance at all.

Li Qiu told him that with the resistance from Youzhou in front, the Turkic cavalry could not penetrate Yizhou.

And the people here are simple and honest, and there are no bandits.

The most serious problem at present is to gather troops from several states and build up Youzhou's frontier defense army first.

Chapter 244 The Ambition of Young Xue Rengui

Afterwards, it took more than 20 days, Li Qiu, Zhang Yungu and others traveled all over the fiefdoms of these thirteen states.

The decree to cancel the free warehouse and open the warehouse to return the grain has also been implemented in these thirteen states.

It has been praised by almost all the people and officials.

At this moment, the system's notification tone also sounded:

【Ding!The host defies the imperial decree and rewards [-] energy crystal.Currently, the host has [-] energy crystals in total, and the system points are [-] points...]

Li Qiu has never been this rich since the system started.

Except for this decree, the other prefectures are the same as Yizhou, only one hundred officers and soldiers are left, and the rest are all transferred to Youzhou.

After Li Qiu made a tour and returned to Youzhou again, more than 20 days had passed.

At this time, there were [-] soldiers and [-] horses in Youzhou City.

Luo Kexin has also redistributed the 1 people.

Select the young and strong ones to join the Youzhou Army and the cavalry.

The rest, as pawns, are responsible for guarding the city and daily defense of the city.

Lieutenant General Luo Liang also began to do his best to conduct high-intensity drills on the [-] cavalry.

As soon as Li Qiu returned to Youzhou City, he went directly to see the old prince.

Tell the old prince about the 20-day itinerary and the military and political situation in the thirteen states.

Now the old prince's physical condition has become worse.

It was difficult to even sit up.

The time of lethargy is getting longer and longer every day.

On the day Li Qiu came back, his mental state was relatively better.

relatively sober.

When I heard Li Qiu say that more than 6000 officers and soldiers were transferred from the other twelve states to join the Youzhou Army.

The old prince nodded in satisfaction, "Fight your troops and prepare for a rainy day."

"It's the right thing to do."

And when Li Qiu said that he canceled the righteous warehouse because of the hardship of the people.

The old prince frowned obviously, and sighed softly.

It can be seen that after hearing the news, the old prince was quite worried.

Blatantly defying the government orders of the DPRK and China is no small matter.

However, with my current physical condition, I can't say too much.

Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and it is time for me to let go completely.

However, he still said slowly to Li Qiu: "Within the thirteen states, it is not a trivial matter to cancel the righteous warehouse."

"It is inevitable that the court ministers and censors will play the book."

"You have to think carefully about how to submit the memorial in advance, and explain the reason and your original intention to His Majesty."

"If we are in Chang'an at this time, it will inevitably be another big event."

"But now that we are in Youzhou, things are not as serious as they were in Chang'an."

"If there is no accident, as you have more and more enemies in the court, it is better to go there less in the future."

After chatting with the old prince for a while, feeling that the old prince was a little tired again, Li Qiu also quit.

When he returned to his courtyard, Luo Kexin was already waiting here.

The young couple hadn't seen each other for more than 20 days, so it was natural that they had some intimacy and tenderness.

In the end, Luo Kexin snuggled into Li Qiu's arms, her eyes turned red.

"Husband, I'm afraid Grandpa's physical condition is going to die..."

Hearing this, Li Qiu couldn't help but sigh, and squeezed her smooth shoulders slightly harder.

……

The next day, Li Qiu and Luo Kexin put on their helmets and armor, left the city early, and rushed to the Youzhou army garrison to check Luo Liang's training situation.

The attitude of these soldiers is still acceptable.

But most of them can't even do skilled riding.

This Youzhou army has not yet reached the standard level of a cavalry, and it is far from the Youzhou army led by Luo Kexin.

For this reason, Li Qiu directly transferred all the one hundred elite guards in the palace.

Each person is in charge of [-] soldiers, divided into small teams, and pulled out for individual training.

In this way, the overall military quality of this Youzhou army can be improved faster.

At this moment, A Ke led her four apprentices back from the Mongolian grassland.

Looking at the appearance of their masters and apprentices, it is obvious that they have gone through several battles.

After returning to the palace, Li Qiu hosted a banquet for them.

Except for the four of them, Li Qiu, Luo Kexin, and Xue Rengui, everyone is a family, so there are not so many rules.

Afterwards, Ake briefly described the situation on the Turkic side that they found out.

Everything I saw was orderly and morale was high.

As far as management is concerned, it seems to be much stronger than Jieli's back then.

Ake and the others, their master and apprentice, also encountered several small groups of Turkic scouts.

Afterwards, their whereabouts were locked by the other party, and after several battles, they managed to return to Youzhou City with some difficulty.

At the same time, the most important piece of information A Ke brought was that the grassland tribe that originally belonged to Glenn several hundred miles away from Youzhou City had been annexed by Xue Yantuo's tribe.

Analyzing the military strength from the appearance alone, there must be 3 to [-] people at least.

After receiving such information, Li Qiu frowned slightly, feeling nervous again.

During the banquet, when Xue Rengui listened to Jing Wuming, Jing Riqi, Jing Yueqi, and Jing Xingqi telling how many Turkic scouts they killed, their eyes were full of envy.

Not to mention Jing Wuming, who killed more than a dozen Turkic enemy troops this time, even Jing Xingqi, who was one year younger than himself, had already killed five people.

How many of them are girls!

Listening to their record, Xue Rengui only felt ashamed.

When the banquet was over, the 12-year-old Xue Rengui finally found a space, and fell to his knees for Li Qiu with a plop.

"Master, this disciple also wants to serve the country and fight the enemy like uncle Shi and Jing Wuming."

Li Qiu glanced at him quietly, "Your uncle, and the girls like Jing Wuming have gone through hard training far beyond your imagination."

"Whether it's you, Wang Xuance, or Gao Kan, compared to them, they are all far behind."

"Now let you go to the battlefield, you will probably die."

"As a teacher, I also know that you are not afraid of death."

"But not being afraid of death and needless death are two different things."

"When the time is right and your martial arts can support you to go to the battlefield, the teacher will naturally send you there."

Chapter 245

Li Qiu can be said to be a very incompetent master for the three disciples Wang Xuance, Gao Kan, and Xue Rengui.

Basically, they have not taught them anything, let alone strict management of them.

Even martial arts have always been taught by Luo Kexin to them.

On the one hand, it was because Li Qiu was too busy and had too many things to do.

On the other hand, it is because all the children in Furong Academy are extremely sensible and obedient.

Like practicing martial arts and learning art, there is no need for people to exhort and ask for it.

Everyone is extremely serious, hardworking, and hardworking.

As for Wang Xuance, Gao Kan, and Xue Rengui, the three of them, because they are direct disciples, worry about embarrassing their master and mistress all the time, even in their dreams.

Therefore, they have to work harder than others in learning arts and practicing martial arts, and they have very high requirements for themselves.

The three of them usually put in a lot more sweat than other children.
