Those aristocratic children from the original military academy were also extremely unwilling to guard the city gate.In the military academy, even if they are exhausted from training, no one else can see themselves so stupid.But defending the city is different. Every day, I have to stand at the gate of the city like a fool and let people watch. Thinking of the group of friends outside who were not sent in, the group of students who are working in class are all in a bad mood!

The instructors were also very dissatisfied with their negative attitude. Once they received those notes, they were all overjoyed after reading them.

The group of people in the aristocratic family also ignored the face of their own children for the sake of safety, and even wrote about their bedwetting in their teens!

Qi Bohan is a bad guy, and the instructors of the military academy he brought out were watching the excitement, so they didn't think it was a big deal, so they directly read these scriptures to the public!

And poor Zhao Wenqing once again became the focus of everyone.Unlike others who are descendants of concubines, the one who wrote the booklet was his biological father, Zhao Li, who had just been reinstated and returned to the Ministry of Rites not long ago!

Zhao Li had watched him grow up since he was a child, and the scandals that came out one after another, he could simply be the best of the day!

Standing in the queue, Zhao Wenqing felt ashamed and angry when he heard the laughter of the people around him. He wished he could go home now and demolish his father's study!

Soon, everyone around couldn't laugh anymore.After reading this bunch of scriptures, there are only a few who have not been humiliated by their own family members. Their reactions are no different from Zhao Wenqing's, and they are all suffocating in their hearts!

Seeing their expressions, the instructor suddenly put back the smiling expression on his face, and said sharply: "How is it? Now you know what kind of thing you are in the eyes of your family!"

Hearing what the instructor said, the students were immediately more ashamed than angry.They also know that they were really jerks before, but they really heard their relatives comment on them... No one's face is made of a city wall.

"I didn't care what happened to you before, but since you are my students, I won't allow you to hang around outside with that shameful image!" The instructor snorted coldly, not sure whether he was dissatisfied with the students or The parents of the students were dissatisfied.

Soldiers are all protecting their weaknesses. Even if their students were really dudes, they will inevitably feel emotional when they hear others comment on their students.

Even the instructors have emotions, let alone the students themselves?

Zhao Wenqing held back his anger, and after hearing what the instructor said, he immediately shouted: "Report to the instructor! I'm going to defend the city!" Since they looked down on him so much, he wanted to make some achievements to slap his face!

Hearing Zhao Wenqing's words, the others also reacted, asking to go out to defend the city and prove themselves!I wish I could go into battle and kill the enemy on the spot, so that my family can see my abilities!

Ever since, the matter of defending the city was decided under the unilateral opposition of the officials of the aristocratic family.

At the beginning of August, General Zhenxi's cavalry rebelled and led an army of [-] to the south, approaching the capital!

Ten days later, General Anguo was ordered to go out and lead an army of [-] troops to the north to suppress the rebellion!

Even though General Wang only brought [-] troops, the people who came to see him off were full of confidence in this team on the day he set off. Why?Just look at the [-] elite soldiers at the head!

I saw that [-] soldiers were full of energy and heroic.The armor on his body was cold and cold. Although it looked thinner than ordinary armor, but for some reason, everyone believed that it was definitely the hardest armor!

And the weapons in their hands, the edges of the sharp blades seem to be able to cut light, and those who are knowledgeable can definitely see that this is a treasure that cuts iron like mud!

Moreover, although only 6 sets of armor were produced in a hurry, the craftsmanship of the weapons is simple, and at least half of the [-] people have been replaced with new weapons!From a distance, it looks like a heavenly soldier descending to earth, okay?

The anti-insurgency army was so high-profile and had no intention of concealing its own strength, which made Li Yulong a little uncertain.Is this a bluff?Or is it just the tip of the iceberg, Qi Bohan has a more powerful secret weapon?

Tao Jianran was also paying attention to the situation over there, and seeing that his [-] troops had been well-trained, but compared to the Qi's army he had seen before, they were still a bit less ferocious, and a bold idea suddenly came to his mind.

Northeast and northwest, there is only one road to the capital, and there is an irregular character on the map.That is to say, the two roads of northwest and northeast will eventually meet and converge at one point, and then go to the capital.

The road on the northeast side is one-third shorter than the road in the northwest. Coupled with the paving of the official road, it only takes two days to reach the meeting point, and five days to march quickly.

The army led by Li Yulong still had ten days to reach the meeting point.The battle point set by General Wang is two hundred miles after the meeting point, an empty mountain, and he intends to come and catch a turtle in an urn.

The old god Tao Jianran touched his chin on the ground, and wrote two letters with a pen.One for Qi Bohan and one for General Wang.

He wants to send his [-] soldiers to practice on the real battlefield, and attack General Wang back and forth, cutting off Li Yulong's retreat!

In the letter Tao Jianran wrote to Qi Bohan, he repeatedly promised that he would never follow him, and only let Wang Tao and Li Wei lead the team, and he would stay obediently in Yizhou.After thinking about it, Qi Bohan felt that it would not be a big problem for Yizhou to divide [-] soldiers, so he agreed.

But at the same time, he ordered the dark guards to watch Tao Jianran and not let him leave Yizhou for half a step!

Tao Jianran naturally felt the strict defense of the hidden guards, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

He swears to God, he really has no intention of following the past, okay?He, a little weak chicken with a valuable status, followed up, not only would not have much effect on the battlefield, but it would be a very big burden!The most important thing is that no one he cares about is there, so why is he following the past?A day trip to the battlefield?

Tao Jianran rolled his eyes noblely and coldly, then turned to discuss the dispatch of troops with Wang Junhao.

Now that the Xiongnu are staring at each other, they must not be aware that Yizhou's troops have withdrawn.

It just so happened that the wall of Wubao had been reinforced at this time, and the next project was all internal construction, and the soldiers were no longer suitable to live in it.So Tao Jianran ordered them to return to the city to live temporarily.

The barracks in the city also increased the expenditure of tents and food and grass accordingly.In fact, all the food and grass distributed were taken to the road by [-] soldiers and horses to eat.

After the arrangements were made, it was inconvenient for Tao Jianran to do any pre-war general mobilization before the expedition, so he only asked Wang Tao and Li Wei to quietly tell the soldiers that this time on the battlefield, in addition to the usual military merit rewards, he also paid for it out of his own pocket. An enemy's head can be exchanged for a tael of silver when you come back!

Even if none of Li Yulong's 10 troops survived, he would spend at most [-] taels of silver.Tao Jianran counted the money in his account, not panicking at all.

The soldiers already knew the benefits of military merit when they joined the army, and they were eager to try the war. They didn't expect that there would be additional subsidies this time, and the atmosphere in the tent suddenly reached its peak!That night, [-] soldiers and horses quietly left Yizhou City...

Now add [-] to [-], and the [-] soldiers who beat Li Yulong should be sure to win.Tao Jianran slept soundly, and the next day there was good news that the cotton picking had been successfully picked.

Tao Jianran rushed to the government warehouse located in the center of Yizhou City, only to see that the large warehouse, which was originally empty, was filled with cotton!

Master Qiu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "My lord, the total harvest of this year's cotton is more than [-] catties, of which the tenant farmers got [-] catties after paying the tax, and now there are more than [-] catties of cotton in the warehouse."

Tao Jianran nodded, which means that the yield per mu is about 150 catties.

Tao Jianran did not comment on this result.According to the planting manual, in the era when agricultural fertilizers were developed in the previous life, the cotton production capacity per mu reached five to six hundred catties, but now the result is worse than he expected.

But Tao Jian didn't dare to show it, because he was afraid that if he showed a little bit of dissatisfaction, the ten old farmers who had worked so hard to grow cotton this year would suffer disaster.After thinking about it, Tao Jianran decided to put on a mysterious expression and asked, "These cottons haven't been planted yet, have they?"

"Yes."

"Go and tell everyone that after the autumn harvest is over, each family will send a few people to help remove the seeds. Each family has a limit of [-] catties, and the removed seeds belong to them. First come, first served." Tao Yanran used the classic empty gloves again. The white wolf's trick, "In the future, for every mu of cotton field planted by each family, one mu of grain field in the family can be exempted from tax by [-]%. However, the number of cotton fields planted by each household must not exceed half of the grain field, and offenders will be fined... one mu One tael of silver, every year!"

This can not only stimulate farmers' enthusiasm for growing cotton, but also restrain farmers from giving up growing grain and switch to cotton. It can also maintain the proportion of taxation on grain.Cotton is good, but life-saving food is more important!

Master Qiu nodded in response, and Tao Jianran pondered for a while before saying, "As for the cotton grown, except for the ones we use for our own use, all the rest will be purchased by the government, and private sales are not allowed. As for the purchase price...you can ask Mr. Qiu to buy it." After having dinner with Qian Changshi tonight, we will gather at Zhizhou Mansion, and we will have a meeting to discuss it."

Master Qiu received the task and left in a hurry.

Tao Jianran looked at the cotton in the warehouse, and the calculations in his heart began to rattle.

Six thousand catties of cotton, if the seeds are removed, there will be at least 5000 catties left.First of all, this cotton needs to be supplied to everyone, but such a small amount is definitely not enough for everyone to wear a cotton jacket.

Soldiers do a lot of exercise and need to wear armor on the outside, so the padded jacket does not need to be thick, but at least three catties of cotton are needed to make a suit.Five thousand catties can only make more than 1000 pieces at most, and it is easy to make. The key is how to divide the more than 1000 cotton-padded jackets for the [-] troops.

Not worrying about scarcity but inequality, Tao Jianran couldn't come up with a reliable solution for a while, and soon it was time for the meeting.

As soon as Qiu Yu and the other three came in, their faces were flushed, and it was obvious that something good had happened.

Tao Jianran frowned, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"My lord! This year, the yield per mu around the Xiaoyi River waterwheel has increased by [-]%!"
