Chapter 187: Someone Cuts Off His Beard
In the council room, Li Jie explained the prospects of martial arts to these noble descendants, some of them were excited, they were more willing to rely on their own ability to fight for their own abilities than relying on the arrangement of their families, while some of them were disdainful, in their opinion, there was nothing wrong with making arrangements at home, at least it was easier than others.
Li Jie also saw the expressions of these people, and finally sneered and directly said a heavyweight news: "I know that some of you are lucky, but I will say it bluntly today, Your Majesty has made a decision, in the future, if you want to enter the army, you can only enter the martial arts, and only after graduating from the martial arts can you be eligible to join the army!" ”
As soon as this news came out, there was an uproar again, and the excited people were even more excited, but the people who were disdainful just now had a dead face, because this news blocked all their back roads.
For the reactions of the following people, Li Jie smiled with satisfaction, the reason why he put this news at the end is to see how these people reacted before, so as to grasp the hearts of these people, I have to say, it is still human nature to like comfort, before most people still wanted to rely on the arrangement of their families, and only a few really had the ambition to rely on themselves.
"Okay, I've finished talking about martial arts, do you still have any questions?" Li Jie finally glanced at everyone again and asked, but at this time everyone was silent, digesting Li Jie's last news in their minds.
"Very good, since everyone doesn't speak, then I'll treat you as if you have no doubts, in fact, it's useless to have doubts, this is set by Your Majesty, if you are not convinced, just go to Your Majesty!" Li Jie sneered again at the end, and deliberately looked at Xu Tianshou who was smashed by himself.
I saw that this kid's face was covered with blood, but when he saw Li Jie looking at him, he shrank his neck in fright, and hurriedly lowered his head and didn't dare to look at him. The others were even more speechless when they heard this, they dared to go to Lao Zhu to reason when they were tired of life!
What Li Jie wants is this effect, martial arts is not an ordinary academy, the army is a violent institution, so martial arts must be inseparable from violence here, and the management must be very strict, Liu Ying is a good person, and many things must not be done, so Li Jie can only play this black face.
Today, Li Jie came to see these noble children, just to give them a dismount, and now that the goal has been achieved, Li Jie is too lazy to talk nonsense with these people, and immediately stepped out of the council room, leaving a group of people looking at each other.
"Cousin, what you just said is true?" At this time, Liu Yi caught up with Li Jie from behind and asked.
"Of course it's true, cousin, what are your plans, if you don't want to develop in the army, you don't need to enter martial arts!" Li Jie also asked Liu Yi at this time, in his opinion, Liu Yi was not very suitable for serving in the army, he had followed Mu Sheng to practice before, and Mu Sheng did not have a high evaluation of him.
"I ......" I saw Liu Yi's hesitant expression when he heard this, and after a long while, he finally said, "I still want to participate in martial arts, no matter whether I can enter the army in the future or not, at least there is no harm in learning more!" ”
Li Jie thought about it and made sense, Liu Yi was originally a person with no ambitions, but after practicing with Mu Sheng for a period of time, the spirit of the whole person was a little different, and he didn't go to martial arts and had nothing else to do, as for the business of the two, he also had a manager to deal with, so Liu Yi didn't have to worry about it at all.
"Okay, in that case, cousin, you have to be prepared to endure hardships, there are a lot of things to learn in martial arts, and the usual exercises are also very hard!" Li Jie finally nodded.
"Don't worry, I'm afraid I won't insist on practicing with Commander Mu before!" Liu Yi patted his chest and smiled, and at this time, Li Jie suddenly discovered that his cousin had indeed changed a lot, not only did he look much darker and thinner on the outside, but he was also stronger and more independent psychologically.
In the afternoon, Liu Ying came back from the Ministry of Industry, and at the same time brought a few officials from the Ministry of Industry, and then called Li Jie to take the officials of the Ministry of Industry around the barracks a few times, and then Li Jie talked about his idea of martial arts again, and put forward some requirements for transformation.
After the officials of the Ministry of Industry wrote them down one by one, they quickly discussed a plan for transformation, and Li Jie and Liu Ying felt that there was no problem after reading it, so these officials immediately transferred a group of craftsmen and began to carry out a transformation of the entire barracks.
In fact, it is said that it is a transformation, and there are not many places that need to be changed directly, because martial arts should be the appearance of a military camp, so that students can adapt to life in the army, but martial arts and military camps are still a little different, such as classrooms that need to be studied, and some targeted training venues, these are the focus of transformation.
Although there are not many places that need to be transformed, it still takes a month, Li Jie is not in a hurry, while supervising the transformation of martial arts, while discussing the next plan with Liu Ying, now there are venues and students for martial arts, but there is still a big problem, that is, the instructors of martial arts.
Originally, Liu Ying didn't plan to make it so big, so he just wanted to transfer a few generals who were proficient in the art of war from other places to the Iron Book Army to give a lecture on the art of war to the noble princes, as for whether these people learn it or not, he doesn't care.
But now that martial arts has alarmed Lao Zhu, obviously can't be so perfunctory anymore, you must seriously pick some instructors to come, there are not many people who are proficient in the art of war, but the key is that the students of martial arts are all noble children, if the identity of the instructor is not high, I am afraid it will be difficult to suppress these people.
"Uncle, it's okay for an ordinary instructor, but the chief instructor must be a veteran with high moral integrity, and if he supports other instructors, he won't be afraid of the students making trouble!" Li Jie thought about it and suggested to Liu Ying again and again.
"But who should this man turn to?" Liu Ying also had a headache at this time, although martial arts was valued by Lao Zhu, he was only a small Yihui Hou, and if he wanted to find a veteran with high morality, I am afraid that the other party must be at least at the level of a prince, and with his identity, he would not be able to move the other party at all.
"I think Xin Guogong is very suitable!" Li Jie immediately thought of Tang He at this time, although Tang He's ability to lead troops to fight was not as good as Xu Da and others, but he was also a generation of famous generals, and the most important thing was that Lao Zhu trusted him very much, so it was very suitable for him to serve as the chief instructor.
"The credible Guogong didn't even return to the capital, and he resigned on the way to his hometown, how can we invite him over?" Liu Ying frowned and asked again.
"If you really can't do it, you can only ask Your Majesty to come forward!" Li Jie thought about it and said again, although he and Tang He had conflicts, their relationship was not bad, but they were not qualified to invite each other to serve in martial arts.
"It seems that this is the only way to go, do you go or do I go?" Liu Ying nodded first, and then asked again, although he was a scholar, Li Jie was obviously more familiar with Lao Zhu, and Lao Zhu was also more willing to listen to Li Jie's opinion, which he was still self-aware.
"I'll go, it just so happens that His Majesty and the crown prince have been discussing the matter of going on patrol recently, and I will accompany me when the time comes." Li Jie thought about it and said again, Zhu Biao's weight loss is progressing very smoothly, so the matter of going on tour next spring has also been decided.
"If you want to go on patrol with the prince, what about the affairs of Wuxue?" Liu Ying also said a little anxiously when he heard this, if Li Jie was not there, he would not be able to handle the martial arts by himself.
"Uncle, don't worry, the earliest tour will be in March, and the general framework of martial arts will have been built by then, and you will be enough at that time, and I don't need to help you keep an eye on it at all!" Li Jie smiled and comforted.
"But ......" Liu Ying is still not confident, after all, he has never done anything alone since he followed Lao Zhu.
"Uncle, let's tell you the truth, even if I don't go out on patrol with the prince, I'm afraid I won't stay long in martial arts!" Li Jie looked left and right at this time, and then lowered his voice and said again.
"Why?" Liu Ying was puzzled.
"Uncle, what do you think, martial arts is so important, Your Majesty and the crown prince are both serving in martial arts, in order to directly control martial arts, but our nephew and uncle have served as Xuezheng and Shaoxue respectively, and it is no problem in a short time, after a long time, do you think Your Majesty will rest assured?" Li Jie replied in a low voice again.
Liu Ying also felt a pang in his heart when he heard this, Li Jie's words were very reasonable, with Lao Zhu's suspicious character, he would definitely not rest assured that their nephews and uncles would stay in martial arts, and they would forget it, except for loyalty, they had no ability, but with Li Jie's talent, His Majesty must have doubts.
Thinking of this, Liu Ying finally nodded and said, "I understand!" ”
"It's good that Uncle knows, it's not too early, I'll go into the palace and talk to Your Majesty about the chief instructor!" Li Jie spoke again, he didn't have any special thoughts about Lao Zhu's suspicion, and even if he was Lao Zhu, he would probably use the same means, after all, as an emperor, many things had to be suspicious and cautious.
Liu Ying didn't say anything when he heard this, but personally sent Li Jie to the palace, but after Li Jie's carriage left, Liu Ying sighed secretly, he felt worthless for his nephew, he had done so much for Daming, but he didn't even have a permanent official position, it was like a brick, and he would move it wherever he needed it.
Li Jie's carriage soon came to the palace, and then he came to the warm pavilion to ask to see, Lao Zhu also quickly summoned him, when Li Jie entered the warm pavilion, he found that Zhu Biao and Lan Yu were also here, and both of them were happy, Lao Zhu was also smiling, and then looked at Zhu Biao's obviously deflated stomach, obviously the two should have come to report the results of weight loss to Lao Zhu, so they were praised by Lao Zhu.
"How's the preparation of martial arts?" Lao Zhu also took the initiative to ask when he saw Li Jie, he was still very concerned about martial arts.
"Your Majesty, martial arts is progressing smoothly, and it is estimated that it will be initially put into use at the beginning of the year, but now there is a lack of the position of chief instructor, and a veteran with high moral standing and outstanding achievements is needed!" Li Jie said truthfully.
However, what Li Jie didn't expect was that as soon as his words fell, he saw Lan Yu next to him take a step forward and loudly recommended himself: "Your Majesty, I am willing to serve as this chief instructor!" ”
Wipe! Got cut off? Li Jie looked at Lan Yu and was also very speechless, others are just fine, Lan Yu's stinky temper is definitely not suitable to be the chief instructor, otherwise just getting along with him will be enough for Li Jie and Liu Ying to have a headache!
