It is said that when Zhou Cang went out for a short time, he came back to report to Zeng Yu that there was no news for the time being. Zeng Yu also had no choice, so he told Zhou Cang to pay attention, and as soon as there was news about them, he would tell himself.

After a few people dispersed, Wang Qing and Pei Yuanshao had just come back, and they also had some things to deal with.

Soon it was about seven o'clock in the evening, and the cottage was bustling, mixed with the smell of wine and meat. At this time, it was the celebration banquet that Zeng Yu asked everyone to prepare, so that the brothers could have a good time. As for the few of them, they didn't have a lively time with everyone, and after they went to visit the soldiers, they returned to Zeng Yu's residence. At this time, this has become the meeting hall of the cottage, and all decisions about the cottage are made here.

There was a banquet in the hall, and Zeng Yu specially explained that like other soldiers, no one had a jar of wine, including Zhu Wen.

Everyone sat down one by one, Zeng Yu naturally sat on the top, Wang Qing and Zhu Wen sat on the left, and Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao sat facing them.

Zeng Yu toasted to everyone, and also expressed his feelings, and several other people naturally responded to it. Everyone was familiar with each other, but after a few cups, the atmosphere became lively, and more than an hour passed between pushing cups and changing lamps.

Zeng Yu saw that everyone was almost drunk, so he asked the soldiers at the door to withdraw and eat. Zhou Cang looked at them and guessed that Zeng Yu might have something to say.

Sure enough, at this time, Zeng Yu said: "Now, the development of the cottage is about to embark on a new track, and I plan to rearrange the cottage to cope with future changes." ”

When Zhou Cang heard this, he knew that Zeng Yu was planning to introduce what he had said to him before. Wang Qing and the others were still confused, but they were also quietly waiting for his next step.

"Now there are nearly 3,000 people in the cottage, but it is difficult to twist into a rope. I think you've also noticed that almost every team of 100 leads its own team, forming small groups. I have observed that this is because each centurion usually leads the training with its own centurion, and there are few unified drills, so there is very little cooperation between the two teams. It's fine now, but if it goes on like this in the future, it will definitely not work. ”

Wang Qing and Zhu Wen are okay, after all, they are not very clear about the model of the copycat. But Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao knew the situation of the cottage. This is also the situation with the connivance of the two of them. At the beginning, they were wandering around, and they didn't have time to practice, and when they arrived at Woniu Mountain, they didn't have the time and energy to care, and more importantly, the two of them didn't have any good training methods at all, and there were more than 1,000 people at that time, so they let the centurions arrange it themselves.

Zeng Yu looked at Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao, knowing that they understood that what they said was the truth, and they also knew the consequences of this model after the expansion of the cottage.

So, next, he introduced his new arrangements for the cottage to several people. First of all, the strong and brave people who formed the cottage were drawn from all the horses and horses in the cottage, and they were trained in a unified manner every day, and Wang Qing was responsible for the training plan.

When Zeng Yu said this, he paused and looked at everyone, mainly at Zhou Cang and the others. After all, this is almost equivalent to handing over the main force of the cottage to Wang Qing, and he is afraid that the two of them will have ideas.

To his relief, neither of them had any sense of feeling bad. It may also be that Zeng Yu underestimated Wang Qing's status in the hearts of the two of them, and the two of them knew Wang Qing's origin from Zeng Yu, and they also saw Wang Qing's own ability from the last battle, how could he rob him.

Zeng Yu saw that the two of them had no opinions, so he looked at Wang Qing and said, "Ziwu, I have handed over the task of training to you, all training matters are mainly based on you, and I will let Zhonghu assist you." Next, you select 1,500 people from all the people in the cottage, and then train in a unified manner, if you need anything, just tell me, the cottage is currently giving priority to meeting your requirements. ”

"Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely give you a satisfactory team." Wang Qing was very excited when he heard that Zeng Yu was going to hand over the training task to him, and stood up and hugged his fist to Zeng Yu at this time and said.

"Okay, let's talk about the other people's arrangements." Zeng Yu asked Wang Qing to sit down first, and then continued to introduce his plan to them.

He planned to select five hundred people from the remaining people, and after the migration passed, they would be handed over to Wu Qin for training. Among them, Wu Qin is the main one, Wu Shi is the auxiliary, and as for Wu Ming, I have other arrangements.

When a few people heard this, they naturally didn't have any opinions. Zhou Cang also knew the strength of the three from Pei Yuanshao's mouth, and the troops in the cottage could not be too single, and after having archers, the overall combat effectiveness of the cottage could be even higher.

For the rest of the others, Zeng Yu planned to let them go mining. Originally, he planned to leave a small part and take the others down to the mountain, but after knowing that there were iron ore veins in Jinniu Mountain, he changed his mind.

In addition to these, Zeng Yu also put forward some ideas for non-combat teams. For example, Li Hu's weapon workshop, he plans to expand to fifty people, mainly responsible for smelting and forging weapons. If the cottage continues to expand in the future, the scale of the workshop will be expanded to meet the demand for weapons and armor in the cottage.

After finishing speaking, Zeng Yu took a sip of water, and then looked at a few people, wondering if they had any other ideas.

"Lord, it's great that you have arranged it like this, I believe that the combat effectiveness of the cottage will definitely increase greatly." This is Zhou Cang's words, he is now bent on making the cottage stronger, knowing that if he follows Zeng Yu's ideas, after a period of time, the Woniu cottage will even have the strength to directly challenge Huanglongzhai.

"Lord, it's good that this is good, but I think there is one thing missing, and that is your own personal soldier. The safety of the lord is more important than anything else, and I think we need to select a team that will always be in the army. Wang Qing said at this time.

"No, I'm just inside the cottage now, I just have some personal guards, and I have sincere personal protection, so I don't need personal soldiers for the time being." Zeng Yu shirked.

"Lord, as you said earlier, you want to go down the mountain to donate a county order as an identity on the surface, how can you do it if you don't have a personal soldier. Now that bandits are rampant, even if Chengyong is powerful, it is impossible to cover everything, and if there is a team of pro-soldiers to protect us, we can rest assured. Zhou Cang still remembered what Zeng Yu had told him before, and continued to suggest.

"My lord, are you going down the mountain? What about the cottage? Wang Qing heard Zhou Cang say that Zeng Yu was going to the bottom of the mountain to be the county order, so he hurriedly asked.

"That's right, do you remember the merchant we met? He said that the county order of Anping County has reached the age of Zhishi, and the current emperor openly sells official titles, all of which are clearly marked at a price, and I plan to buy the official position of Anping County Order. In this way, it will be much easier to act in the future. ”

"On the side of the cottage, what does the lord plan to deal with, the veins need to be mined and guarded by manpower."

"Ziwu, don't worry, I have my own arrangements. I only took Chengyong, Wu Ming and Yuan Shao down the mountain, and the cottage was guarded by you and Zhou Cang. At that time, the cottage will be dominated by Zhou Cang, you are responsible for training, and I will let Zijin also stay in the cottage, usually the three of you can discuss and act, if there is a big matter, you can send someone to Anping County to find me. Zeng Yu explained to Wang Qing that this was what he had originally planned.

"Lord, then you need a team of personal soldiers." Zhu Wen heard that Zeng Yu only took a few people down the mountain, and he thought that if a few people went to Luoyang to donate officials, the road would be far away, and if the number of guards was too small, it would be too dangerous.

"It's okay, Chengyong, you choose fifty people from the cottage, and I will hand them over to you for training, and then we will go down the mountain together." Zeng Yu thought about it, what Zhu Wen said was right, and in normal times, everything can't be handed over to Zhu Wen to do, it will be much more convenient to have a soldier by his side.

"Yes!" Zhu Wenying promised.

"Yuan Shao, this time to break through the Golden Bull Village, they have been looting for many years, they should have accumulated a lot of money." Zeng Yu thought that the donor needed money, but there was really no money here in Woniu Mountain, and he thought that Jinniu Mountain had been based here for so many years, and the inventory must be relatively rich.

"Back to my lord, the money we got at this time is worth 2,000 catties, in addition to nearly 2 million catties of grain and grass, and nearly 20,000 catties of iron ingots."

"Well, that's good, with these grains and grasses, we don't have to worry about food in a short time. As for the money, I will bring 500 gold down, and the rest will stay in the cottage, and you will watch the arrangement. Those iron ingots will be made into armor and weapons as soon as possible, and if our soldiers can be equipped with armor and good weapons, then there is still that cottage that can stop our expansion. ”

"Zhou Cang, the matter of armor and weapons is supervised by you, let Li Hu and them build it as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

"Wait a minute, I'll tell Li Hu in person tomorrow, I have some things to explain to him. It's not early today, so go back and rest. Zeng Yu suddenly changed his words.

"No, I'll take my leave!" Several people saluted Zeng Yu, and then they scattered and went back to rest, and then they were busy.

It turned out that Zeng Yu had learned about the forging process in his dream a few years ago, and he still remembered some general methods of the process. Now he doesn't particularly know what the iron-making technology is in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and he wants to ask Li Hu in person. At the same time, although he remembers some processes, he doesn't know if he can implement them now, so he needs to communicate with Li Hu.

Since Li Hu is an excellent craftsman, presumably after he tells him about the process, he will be able to figure out a specific method. In this way, the quality of both weapons and armor can be higher. As the saying goes, weapons are the second life of a soldier, and good weapons and armor can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the army.

Zeng Yu originally wanted to take the route of elite soldiers and let more people engage in production. At this time, he still remembered that in the previous history, after decades of strife in the late Han Dynasty, the population shrank from more than 60 million to more than 20 million, a decrease of two-thirds. Of course, some of them died directly because of the war, but many more were other natural disasters. Droughts, floods, and locust plagues have led to the reduction of grain and even the loss of grains, resulting in widespread starvation and plague, which is the main factor in the drastic decline of the population.

Since he dreamed of suspected Guiguzi twice, he has firmly remembered the sentence "save China from danger". Since he has the heart to conquer the world, he must be responsible for the entire Chinese nation and never let the tragedy of Wuhu chaos appear in the history of later generations.
