Early in the morning, Zhao Hao counted the grain in the house with his fingers and couldn't help sighing. Zhuang Shilin has been gone for five days so far, and if it is at the current consumption rate, I am afraid that it can barely last for ten days, which means that he cannot return on time, and everyone will stop. He had the intention to change three meals to two meals to save food for emergencies, but now was the critical time for him to rectify the palace, and once the supply was reduced, it would probably cause instability in people's hearts, so he had to be cautious.

"Your Highness, several stewards have been waiting in the side hall for a while." After Wang De saw His Royal Highness change clothes, he sat in front of the window and snapped his fingers, sometimes shaking his head, sometimes sighing, and looking like a seventy or eighty person, although he was funny in his heart, he still reminded him.

"Let them come back in the afternoon, and I'll take a closer look at their plan." Zhao Yu glanced at Wang De and said, Yesterday Cai Wanyi and the others sent the discussed rectification plan, and he was not satisfied with it, but he hadn't thought about how to change it.

"Your Highness, is there anything wrong?" Wang De leaned over and leaned around his neck and asked.

"It's generally okay, some places still need to be improved...... Zhao Yu said casually, but suddenly he thought of something, turned his head to look at Wang Dedao, "Are you entrusted by anyone to come to my mouth?" ”

"Your Highness...... How dare the little one! Just looked at His Highness's worries, so he asked more. The smile on Wang De's face immediately froze, and he said curtly.

"Really?" Zhao Yu glanced at Wang De with a smile and said, "It's best if you don't have this intention, just do your part, I don't like people who talk a lot." ”

"The little one has no intention of listening to His Highness, and he doesn't dare to talk to those people in the outer house." Although His Royal Highness only glanced at him and lowered his head to continue to look at Tiao Chen, Wang De couldn't help but get furious when he was called to break his heart, and hurriedly argued. In fact, he has been in the palace for many years and understands that he wants to make a career, one is to coax his master, and the other is to have foreign aid. Judging from the current situation, His Royal Highness's trust in the Foreign Mansion is obviously better than his own, so he wanted to use his advantages to win over the stewards of the Foreign Mansion, but he didn't expect to be seen through by His Royal Highness at a glance.

"Well, have you ever seen my mother?" Zhao Yu nodded, and asked as if unintentionally.

"Oh, I didn't see it." His Royal Highness's words made Wang De feel agitated again, and he opened his mouth to say. But then he saw sweat on his face, and secretly wondered how he knew about entering the palace to see the Queen Mother, but listening to His Royal Highness's words, he didn't seem to be sure, so Wang De couldn't figure out whether His Royal Highness was tempting, or really knew what he said, and he was even more worried in his heart.

"Alas, I also miss my mother and the royal brother very much, and I haven't seen the sign several times." Zhao Yu sighed again and said, he knew that his biggest backer was not the emperor or Liu Huang, but the queen mother who listened to the government. But he didn't see him once after he returned, which made him feel a little bottomless.

"I heard people who knew each other in the palace say that Niangniang often mentions His Royal Highness, and she is very worried about it, and she doesn't see His Highness just because she is worried that His Highness will be infected with the epidemic." His Royal Highness turned to him, which made Wang De breathe a sigh of relief, and raised his hand to wipe his sweat and said.

"May God bless the royal brother as soon as possible." Zhao Yu arched his hand to the sky and said, "Don't tell your mother everything when you enter the palace in the future, so as not to worry about your mother." ”

"The little one understands, His Royal Highness is benevolent and considerate, and the mother will be relieved to learn about it." At this moment, no matter how stupid Wang De is, he understands, not to mention that he is not stupid, he already knows in his heart that His Royal Highness is warning himself, don't talk too much in front of Niangniang, say what you should say, shut up what you shouldn't say, otherwise there will be no good fruit to eat, so you better leave quickly, hurry up and salute, "I'll go outside first, so as not to wait for a long time." ”

"Well, there you go!" Zhao Yu waved his hand and said, seeing Wang De bow and retreat, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He knew very well that Wang De was sent by the Queen Mother to take care of him, and he would inevitably tell the Queen Mother everything in the house. And he also understands that although he has tried his best to control and constantly warn himself that he is a child now, it is inevitable that he will unconsciously say something inappropriate or do strange things, Wang De may not be able to find out, but it does not mean that the Queen Mother is not aware. Therefore, it was necessary to knock on him and warn him that there were some things that he could not say, and with his cleverness, Zhao Yu believed that he could understand what he meant......

"What to do?" After reading the rectification plan sent by several stewards again, Zhao Yu had a headache, he was only afraid that there was no one around him before, but now he is worried when there are many people. Originally, he only wanted to form a strong escort army, which did not need to be too large, so that it was easy to move and hide, and more importantly, it was easy to manage and provide for a small number of people. Now that more than 5,000 people have gathered in the mansion, it is difficult for such a large team and their special identity not to attract attention, and this has also added a series of problems.

Cai Wanyi and others formulated a plan for the rectification of the palace in detail, but they also knew that there was a measure of proportion, and the official positions and personnel of the palace were all regulated, and it was not for them to dare to arrange them at will, so the plan only involved the reorganization of these righteous and brave people in the foreign government. According to their plan, the volunteers were divided into several parts:

First of all, young and strong people who are loyal and simple, strong in martial arts, and have actual combat experience are selected from the volunteers to form the prince's guard battalion, which is led by experienced trusted generals to guard the palace and protect the safety of His Royal Highness; secondly, five battalions of township soldiers were selected and formed in the volunteers, which were divided into five commands, the middle military camp and the front, rear, left and right, each commander set up five capitals, each with two teams, and each selected a person with prestige to command; Finally, the second-class volunteers were selected to form a battalion, which was responsible for transporting grain and grass, camping and other auxiliary work; Redundant personnel shall be dismissed.

Zhao Yu has no experience in politics, and of course he has no experience in governing local areas, but he has been a senior manager of an enterprise, and naturally knows that the first thing to do in preparation for the establishment of a new unit is to 'establish an organization, divide things and be responsible', and build a skeleton. No matter how small a unit is, it will generally have several departments of finance, production, general affairs, security, personnel and office, but their planning only has two departments, "production" and "security", and there are no auxiliary departments.

Another problem is that the royal palace guards are faced with the dilemma of mountains at the beginning of their establishment. After the two kings fled, Zhao Yu was named the king of Wei, the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and the foreign domain Zongzheng. But because of the chaotic situation and his young age, he used to travel with the queen mother and the emperor, except for a group of chamberlains, palace maids, cooks, nurses and other miscellaneous servants. It is precisely because of the congenital deficiencies of the Wei Wangfu that Zhao Yu has no cronies around him who can rely on him, and everything has to start from scratch.

The people gathered around him at this moment are also complex, mainly composed of the survivors of Zhao Mengjin's group of plague ships and the officers and soldiers of the Qinwang in Quanzhou, the volunteers and the survivors who have no food and clothing after the festival, and the volunteers in Quanzhou account for more than sixty percent of the total, but they are divided into several small groups according to different regions and suzerains, and they do not belong to each other, and if they are separated, they will inevitably cause dissatisfaction. This can be seen from the uneven number of battalions, which also focuses on retaining their cronies and neglects other aspects.

"Hehe, everything has disadvantages and is naturally beneficial!" Zhao Yu looked at it for a moment and suddenly smiled, laughing at himself for how he forgot this objective law, the situation in front of him seemed to be unfavorable to him, but on the other hand, he thought that they were attached to him.

The change in Quanzhou, the righteousness and courage of King Qin and the officers and soldiers from all walks of life fought bloodily to save the two kings, which should be appreciated by the imperial court, at least to look at it differently, but the result was that it was much neglected, like abandonment, and it was difficult to guarantee even the minimum life. Although Zhao Hao didn't know the specific twists and turns, this was the most important reason for forcing this group of people to defect to his nominal lord, that is, there was nowhere to go when he left the palace, and he could control the situation as long as he grabbed the financial and personnel rights.

As for the situation of each other's 'huddle', there are also pros and cons. The disadvantage is that the village soldiers come from the same place, have a certain blood relationship and kinship with each other, or are attached to each other because of the land, so they are very united internally, and only obey the orders of the suzerain, similar to the government soldiers in the Han and Tang dynasties. However, if it goes against their interests, they will often disobey orders en masse, quarrel with other troops, or even mutiny, so it is not easy to lead.

Also based on neighbors and blood ties, they differ from the ordinary superior-subordinate relationship between soldiers and officers in the usual conscription army. In the ordinary army, where I command, you rush wherever you go, and it has nothing to do with me whether you die or not, anyway, the state pays you a salary. And these township soldiers are different, because of the existence of special relationships, there is no reason not to work hard, so the soldiers under the government military system are very brave and internally united, the generals cherish the soldiers very much, and the soldiers are also very hard at war.

Now the volunteers have nowhere to go, and they have suffered heavy casualties in the battle against the Yuan army, and the dead are all fathers and sons, and they have formed a blood feud with the Mongols. And these heroes may not be highly educated, but they are righteous, anxious about what is difficult, fair, compassionate, and very energetic, quite prestigious among the masses, and have the charm of character in the ordinary, just like Chao Gai and Shi Jin in "Water Margin", so there is almost no possibility of surrender, as long as it is used well, it is a loyal army.

"It's hard to be a good person, isn't it?" On the issue of reducing the old and weak, Zhao Yu knew that it was the right choice when there was insufficient supplies and there was a possibility of fighting from time to time, but it was very cruel to those who were laid off, and it also made him feel uneasy about his conscience, and it was even more difficult for him to make up his mind.

"Well, whatever!" I don't know if I can live for two years, where are there so many scruples, Zhao Yu thought for a moment, and put pen to paper to revise the plan......
