After the Spring Festival, it is the Lantern Festival.

After two extremely lively festivals, Seonghan City returned to calm.

Waiting for the weather to warm up slightly, when spring arrives, the outside of the city is suddenly lively.

The fields that had been ploughed were now densely populated with people who began to bend down to plant seedlings.

The green seedlings are inserted into the rice paddies, adding life to the otherwise desolate land.

All the people are working hard to plant seedlings.

Some time ago, when the New Year was celebrated in the city, even outside the city, they could hear the cheers and noise inside the city, which made them feel a little uncomfortable outside.

Now they are all desperate, wanting to enter Xinghan City.

Although I don't know what the standard for entering the city is, some people think that if the harvest of the land they plant is good, they will make the people above happy.

After all, where would anyone not love food?

In the past, there were people in the city who came out to talk about it, and after farming, with special fertilization, it was possible to increase the harvest.

As for how much can be harvested, the other party didn't say, and everyone didn't ask, anyway, they just thought that they would just plant good land.

As long as the land is planted and the harvest is good, maybe the other party will show mercy and enter the city?

Therefore, the people outside the city are still working very hard.

However, the people in the city did not mean to be lazy at all.

Life is good, but they who have lived a hard life especially cherish the current day, and since they are ready to farm, they will naturally not be lazy.

What's more, when they received the fields before, if they dared to waste the fields, there would be punishments.

This punishment was only mentioned to the people in the city, and there was no opening outside the city.

The spring breeze is a bit biting, and the people in the fields are used to it.

A few people who had just ploughed the ground also began to plant rice.

The ploughing ox on the side walked to the side, lowered its head and gnawed on the grass, and a lot of grass went into the cow's mouth, and then it was chewed in a big gulp, which looked very fragrant.

Lu Chensheng stood on the city wall, looking at the vast fields below that were now his own territory, and a little pride rose in his heart.

If you wait until you bring a large number of plates under your command, it must feel even more different.

There has never been a king in history who conquered all the territories.

Such an achievement, maybe he can do it.

"Let's recruit more soldiers this year."

Lu Chensheng thought about it, and the things he had created were looking at the soldiers in the city.

I already felt that there were enough of these soldiers before, but after Chengxue took people on an expedition once, the people left behind were just enough to meet the needs of the remaining Xinghan City, and there were no remaining troops to be sent out.

This kind of thing made Lu Chensheng wake up to the fact that the troops were still a little insufficient.

I just thought that it would be enough for Xinghan City to hold on to Star Han City and then be able to attack with a little force.

But now that Lu Chensheng has woken up again, it seems that it is not enough.

This time, I went to the grassland and brought back tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, so that Xinghan City could be for a long time, and there was no need to worry about meat.

Although the demand for pasture has increased a lot, this thing can be harvested or bought.

It's better than buying so many cattle and sheep.

And this expedition also made Lu Chensheng taste the sweetness, who said that he could only go south with Tartar?

In the future, if there is a shortage of cattle and sheep, that is, there is a shortage of war horses, then you can also go to the grassland to grab it!

There are also a lot of war horses snatched back this time, there are 10,000 of them!

In this way, even if Bai Yi wants to expand the cavalry team, it is completely fine.

Anyway, the sweetness this time made Lu Chensheng feel that the number of troops was a little too small.

The next time you want to go to the grassland, the other party is estimated to have some preparations, and you must prepare more cavalry to go to the grassland, so that the safety factor is higher.

In addition to this, so many war horses, plus the Tartars, I don't know when they will be ready to go south.

These are all to be faced, and an increase in the number of troops is already indispensable.

Take 10,000 steps back, in the future, it will also go to the three major dynasties, and now this force is a little too small.

Therefore, the expansion of the army has become imperative.

Cheng Xue was wearing armor, and when she heard Lu Chensheng say this, her eyes immediately filled with joy.

As a general, the thing that makes her most happy is nothing more than the expansion of troops!

Seeing that there are more and more troops under his command, he is naturally more and more satisfied.

"I wonder how much the shopkeeper is going to expand?"

"Expand as much as you can."

When Lu Chensheng heard this, he groaned and responded.

There are only so many people in the city, old and young, women and children, and some have their own posts, and there are already more than 10,000 soldiers, and there are only a few men left.

Some men take care of their families, and after adding that their only son will not come to join the army, there are probably not many left.

So Lu Chensheng replied directly, so that the other party could recruit as much as he could.

The soldiers' salaries are still very high, but with the profits of Xinghan City now, these salaries can still afford them.

In fact, the pressure on military salaries is not too great, what is big is the equipment of the soldiers, as well as food and so on.

These are actually the big ones.

However, for the sake of future plans, in addition to the fact that there are already norms for training soldiers, the earlier the training will be, and when the time comes, there will be a little combat effectiveness.

After experiencing more battles, it is natural that he will become an elite fighter in the future.

Cheng Xue looked at Lu Chensheng in astonishment when she heard this, "Shopkeeper, what if I recruit too much at once?" ”

When she heard Lu Chensheng's words, she was naturally happy in her heart, but she hesitated, what if there were too many recruits, what should she do if she was overwhelmed by the time?

Don't let it happen that the military salary can't be paid, or that you are dragged down by so many soldiers.

Now that Xinghan City is on the right track, everything is still better little by little.

With such a direct and sudden conscription, Chengxue was a little panicked.

She hoped that Lu Chensheng could give a suitable data and not increase troops indiscriminately.

"It's okay, last year, Xinghan City's tax collection reached 700,000 taels of silver, and there were 1.2 million taels of silver in the silver treasury, not counting the rest of the various treasures, it was no problem to raise some warriors."

Seeing Chengxue's worried appearance, Lu Chensheng waved his hand.

With enough silver behind him as a guarantee, Lu Chensheng can be said to be quite tough and not panicked at all.

Anything that can be solved with money is not called a thing.

More than a million taels of silver?

When Chengxue heard this, she was immediately stunned.
