Xu Zixian has been spending more than ten days in an unusually busy situation.

The matter of finding the town's money bank to exchange copper coins is very smooth, the Hou Mansion now often takes silver to exchange, and has become a big customer of the money village, plus Xu Zixian now has a real job as a group training envoy, and the funds collected after the donation are quite smooth, and the 30,000 yuan borrowed by the money village is expected to be returned within half a year, and the interest earned can also sell a solid favor to Xu Zixian, a future star, and the shopkeepers of several money banks are not stupid.

After taking the money, Kong He and Fu Qian immediately went to the port of Fuzhou, Xu Zixian sent four generals to escort them, and hired a few big cars in the town to transport the money, 30,000 yuan is not a small number, and the weight is not light.

At the same time, the re-election in several towns also gradually began, and Xu Zixian, a martial artist of the re-election group, also tried his best to do it himself, at least others must be present.

To make every soldier think that he was personally selected by the prince, after more than ten days of hard work, the person was almost picked, Xu Zixian also lost a lot of weight, and even his voice was hoarse.

A large number of men have been decided, and 1,100 people have been recruited from the three towns, and 500 people have been recruited from the displaced people on the other side.

This time it was much more sensational than recruiting young people, and many homeless people along the Minjiang River ran over, and they were happy to be selected, and of course they were extremely frustrated if they didn't pick it.

Xu Zixian saw several couples wiping tears in front of him...... These people are all from Zhangzhou, dozens of miles away from hearing the news rushed over, all men are over 35 years old, muscles and bones declined, the ancients in this year can not be compared with the modern people of later generations, if the later generations insist on exercising at the age of 35, the gap between the body and the age of 25 is not too big.

The thirty-five of these years has obviously gone downhill, and many men in their thirty-five and sixteen have gray hair and even began to lose their teeth, which is the sequelae of long-term lack of nutrition and overdraft of the body.

"The pig farm should be expanded, and some scattered chicken pens can be made, and some people can be left to herd ducks and sheep. The chores in the barracks also need to be ......" Xu Zixian said to Li Yi: "Pick a hundred households, no, pick two hundred households to stay first, and tell them to wait, I will find a way to give them a place to live sooner or later." ”

In just a few words, Li Yi could also see Xu Zixian's persistence...... This young man who is less than twenty years old is no longer the helpless look he had a few months ago, he has heavy responsibilities on his shoulders, he is in a high position, and he is becoming more and more mature, and at this moment, the persistence in his eyes still makes Li Yi understand that no matter how it changes, Xu Zixian is still enthusiastic.

"If the prince has a heart, he can slowly give them some money and ask them to return Zhang......zhou by themselves," Li Yi persuaded: "There are at least three or four thousand displaced families on both sides of the Minjiang River, and even more than 10,000 displaced families in several prefectures, so we can't resettle so many ......."

Xu Zixian pursed his lips and said: "This place is also six or seven hundred miles away from the counties of Zhangzhou, and there are not a few that need to be entangled. Besides, having so much manpower is the most valuable asset, and I will indeed be useful in the future, so don't worry about it. ”

Li Yi nodded, since Xu Zixian said so, of course he had a reason, so he could only follow the order.

"It's Mid-Autumn Festival." Xu Zixian said: "I want to take my little sister back to Fucheng to worship my ancestors, Jin Baoyi and Wu Weisan have gone to Jiangling, Zhang Huchen and they want to continue to train tooth generals, so I asked Yang Yingming and a few people to follow me...... In the last few days, the roster will be determined, the file will be recorded, and a wooden tooth plate will be issued, and the autumn and winter military robes will be made as soon as possible, and the training robes should be made thick, otherwise they will wear out in a few days......"

Li Yi smiled: "It's just a trivial matter, if the prince believes me, he doesn't have to worry about it." ”

Xu Zixian also laughed and said slowly: "I've been too busy lately, and I can't get out of it when I'm immersed in such emotions." ”

"So get some rest." Li Yi looks at Xu Zixian now, and it seems more and more like she is looking at a nephew of her own, and she is the most promising, the most heartbreaking.

Maybe Xu Zi was the one who took him off first, and now Li Yi is more and more convinced of this.

After returning to the inner house, Xiuniang was dressing up with her long hair, Wu Shizhong was studying the matter of building Zhuhai Mingtang with Liu Jiusi in the bamboo forest every day, and she was very busy, Xiuniang was responsible for taking care of Wu Shizhong's children, and she was also quite busy every day.

Xu Zixian returned to Fucheng this time, just to help Wu Shizhong buy a concubine to come back, Wu Shizhong has nothing to do with this, he himself is not very interested in concubines, but a few of his own little ghosts really need to be taken care of.

"I've been working hard for you lately." Xu Zi first held Xiuniang's waist, gently smelled the hair on Xiuniang's head, and a fragrance rushed into his nose.

"Little sister is coming." Xiuniang struggled slightly, blushed and said, "Let people see it, what does it look like." ”

"Well, I've been too busy lately to take care of you......"

"If you go back this time and help me set a housewife to come back, I will be able to make it a lot easier."

Xu Zi first looked at the jade man in his arms, this Nizi had a smile on her face, and she didn't look like she was jealous. This time the Mid-Autumn Festival back to the city, in addition to worshiping the ancestors is to go to the Changwen Marquis Mansion, this time the Yaji is the king of Qi for Xu Zixian to respond, although Xu Zixian has made a big noise recently, especially Wu Shizhong to the Hou Mansion to take office, it is a sensation. But the name of the article is beginning to appear, and it should be consolidated by a way.

King Qi has another intention, Xu Ziwen, the sixth son of King Zhao, is graceful, handsome and extraordinary, and is much better than Xu Zixian in terms of appearance.

The children of the aristocracy, except for the previous two generations, may have average appearances, it is difficult to be ugly after a long time.

Nobles pick wives, concubines, rarely do not consider the appearance of the time, the past generations have chosen the beauty of the good match, more than ten generations, most of the children and grandchildren are tall and fair-skinned, handsome men and beautiful women, this is the inevitable result of the selection of the best among many generations.

Both Europe and the Wa Kingdom are inbreeding, and some royal families are good-looking, and most of the royal family members are far inferior to ordinary nobles.

Mr. Xu Zi is good, but Xu Ziwen is a beautiful son, and in appearance, I am afraid that he is not an opponent.

In terms of literary talent, Xu Ziwen is even more eloquent, writing good poems, calligraphy and painting, piano, chess, and flute, all of which are quite proficient.

In this comparison, Xu Zixian is like a husband who carries work on the dock, and the difference is too far.

Fortunately, there is a weekly article that has made a bottom, and King Qi also knows that the third lady of the Changwen Marquis Mansion loves to read, and there is an oral marriage contract, Xu Zixian only needs to show one or two more, when there is a chance.

King Qi was so attentive that he wrote several letters in a row, of course, because he didn't want the civil power of Fujian Road to be used by King Zhao.

You must know that whether it is a pacification envoy, a system envoy, or a punishment envoy, these officials are all outsiders sent by the imperial court, and their high positions and powers are true, but their power comes from the center of the imperial court, and they are far from being compared with local gentry representatives like Changwen Hou.

Once King Zhao and the Marquis of Changwen got married, Fujian Road seemed to be the number one force, and King Qi didn't say anything, so that Lin Douyao couldn't suppress King Zhao even if he appeased him.

Xiuniang is not too coarse tea and light rice, nor is it too hard, many things in the house do not need servants, or Xiuniang is taking care of it single-handedly. Recently, the back garden was tidied up once, and the lotus pond was dredged, and the pond was full of lotus flowers after autumn.

Every day is busy, Xiuniang is getting whiter and whiter, the calluses on her hands are gone, her face is more and more moisturized, she can be broken by blowing, her lips are red and her teeth are white, her black hair is beautiful, and she has a charming atmosphere of a new woman.

"I'll only marry another wife." Xu Zixian whispered: "Where the etiquette is, there is no way to do it. ”

"I know." Xiuniang didn't want to say more about it, no matter how she understood and accepted, it was still a very sad thing for the woman, but Xiuniang was very able to understand herself, and it was a blessing to be able to get the current life, she never imagined that she could get more.

Just like a child who rarely has access to toys, he can only hold on to what he has already gotten in his hands, and will never expect more.

……

The last time Xu Zixian returned to Fucheng was more than two months ago, and the time was actually not long, but suddenly it seemed that a lot of things had happened, and even time had slowed down.

Galloping all the way from the official road, many people recognized this Nan'an Hou Shizi, and many pedestrians and business travelers recognized Xu Zixian along the way, and many people said hello from afar.

Xu Zi replied one by one on the horse, refusing to slap everyone down.

Guarding the gate of the city is a commander of the Xiang army, Xu Zixian entered and exited the city before, but no one cared, this time with five or six teeth will ride over, from a distance to see the commander come forward to greet, Xu Zi dismounted first, the commander was busy coming forward to say hello, very polite.

"What kind of command does this seem to be too polite?" Xu Zixian said to Yang Yingming: "Do you know the reason? ”

Yang Yingming is the head of the festival, he has been staying in the Hou Mansion in the city as a guard, and he often walks around for Xu Zi first, the clan Hou Mansion family, there are many in-laws, and the three festivals and two respects are all etiquette that must be prepared, Xu Zixian has been in the other courtyard, Fengchang Li Yi is also in the other courtyard, the guests have just risen, and Wu Shizhong is not a person who is impatient to move around, Yang Yingming has the identity of a military attache of the nine grades, which is used to run errands and give gifts, and inquire about the news, which is also enough.

"What about the Tang Dynasty?" Yang Yingming said with a smile: "Don't look at him as an old man, in fact, he is from a family." As soon as I said it, the son of the world understood, the Tingzhou family, the surname is He. ”

"I see." Xu Zixian blurted out: "Tingzhou Iron Mine, He, Zhang, and Li are the largest, the He family has the most blast furnaces, and the most iron is born, it seems that this He Commander is the son of the He family." ”

"Exactly." Yang Yingming said with a smile: "Everyone in the family will make their children study and practice martial arts, and they will be admitted to the Jinshi as officials, and civil officials generally do not go to the local service, and there are many military attachés who serve in this road, He Yitang is." Their family produces the most iron, and the prince has been practicing in a group recently, and there are many places where iron is needed, so he came up with this idea. ”

"I see." Xu Zixian smiled and said, "Go back and talk to him to see what his family's offer is." ”

There is indeed a large number of weapons to be built in the annex.

The original arsenal of the Hou Mansion was difficult to equip with the generals, not to mention the need to build a team training of as many as 1,500 people.

The bow is intended to be bought ready-made, and there are bow and arrow societies in Fuzhou and other counties, and each society will have a bow stock. If this thing is made on the spot, it will really kill people. Two years is the best time for a bow to be usable from the beginning.

It takes half a year for a bow to be made in a hurry, and it doesn't take long for it to go wrong.

According to the establishment of the Great Wei Forbidden Army, there are 1,500 people, there will be 200 sword players, 400 players, 900 archers, and of course, there are about half of the crossbowmen in the archers, so the establishment is complete.

Bow and crossbow sword, if the forbidden army will also be equipped with pikemen, spearmen, long knife hands, halberdiers, etc., in addition to assault guns, assault artillery and other weapons, the Great Wei forbidden army is actually not mixed, mainly three parts, knives, long or spears, and then bows, crossbows.

Xu Zi first had to build a regimental training, and he had to reluctantly build a cavalry, which cost a lot of money, but it was still worth it.

In addition, there were 600 archers, 200 sword players, and 600 swordsmen.

With a frontal attack, the infantry formation is a huge wave, and the archers are the auxiliary, rather than the main force of the Great Wei army with crossbowmen as the output, and the infantry formation is just a rock, only prepared to defend the palace.

This is a new concept of war, Xu Zixian's idea has not yet been experienced in actual combat, but he insists on it, and Qin Dongyang and others can only agree to follow it.

Xu Zixian's idea came from the understanding of history, from ancient times to the present, the most powerful Qin army was equipped with a large number of bows and crossbows, and the victory of the tyrannical Qin was not entirely with the help of long-range, but those sharps who carried long swords and halberds, bravely marched forward, charged into battle, pinned the enemy's head to their waists, and chased the north.

Without these people, how could the Qin army be able to win the world with a group of crossbowmen?

Needless to say, it is always true that Xu Zi has to build a large number of obstacles and long-term knives first, and there is a lot of loss in training, so it is necessary to order more, of course, this is a big deal, and it is not surprising that big merchants are also red-eyed.
