When Liu Renjie went to invite Zhao Datie to speak, Liu Renyu took Ma Tianjun and Li Jiye, the two subordinates in charge of Wen Yiwu, into the conference room of his garrison mansion.

Everyone entered the conference room and sat down separately, and Liu Renyu asked Li Jiye first: "Jiye, when I am not there, how are the recruits in the barracks doing?" ”

"My lord, the instructors conducted drills in accordance with the "Infantry Drill Code" issued by you, the recruits have trained very hard, and the ability to kill the enemy has been practiced well, as long as they go through three months of recruit training, in May, they can join the regular soldiers and become the immediate combat force of our Jingbian Fort Army." Li Jiye replied.

"The recruits are training very hard, so the nutrition has kept up, the training is boring, will the recruits have psychological problems, and will the psychological counseling keep up?"

"My lord, in terms of nutrition, there is no pressure on our logistics department, the key is that the supply from Tianjun's side is timely, the recruits can eat meat every day, they can receive silver every month, and the enthusiasm for training is still okay, even if some recruits feel that the training is extremely hard and desert, it doesn't matter, and they will send these people to Zhao Cuizhi, and those thorns will stop immediately."

"How can this be, why is Cuizhi in Jingbian Fort? And Cuizhi is pregnant, how can she go to the barracks to do such a thing, and Ergou doesn't care!? Liu Renyu wondered.

"My lord, do you know, Daddy Zhao is overworked now, and his body bones are not as good as before, I heard that he had a cold, Cuizhi felt sorry for his father, so he went to Jingbian Fort to take care of Daddy Zhao. When she arrived at Jingbian Fort, she felt that she had nothing to do, so she went to the barracks to resume her old business and give psychological counseling to the recruits. ”

"And how did she do?" Liu Renyu said curiously.

"It's done so well that some recruits have no psychological problems, but they still have to pretend to have psychological problems and go to Cuizhi for counseling."

"Hey, these little bunnies, you know this kind of thing, have you ever taken care of them, and the soldiers know how to run to women, what is this called."

"Hehe, my lord, since I told you about this, I naturally have a countermeasure. Those recruits who obviously have no psychological problems, but take the opportunity to seek counseling from Cuizhi, have been severely punished by their humble positions, and they no longer dare to run to Cuizhi when they have nothing to do. ”

"This is like the words, you have to tell the instructors who manage the recruits to be strict in governing the army and not slack off."

"Yes, my lordship, I will share this matter with them."

"Very good." When Liu Renyu heard this, he first nodded, and then he continued: "Jiye, do you remember that I asked you to go to Shanxi to recruit miners? ”

"I remember that it was very strange at the time, in fact, we also have coal mines and miners in Shaanxi, but you specially asked you to go to Shanxi to recruit miners." Li Jiye was puzzled.

Of course, Liu Renyu would not say that he remembered the later generation of Shanxi rich mine bosses, and naturally also rich in miners, so he replied like this: "When I heard that Shanxi produces coal, I thought that there were many miners there, so I asked you to go to Shanxi to recruit miners." ”

"My lord is right, Shanxi does produce coal, as long as you dig a pit in the ground, you can produce coal, so they do have a lot of miners over there."

"Well, I made this arrangement at random, but now it has a big effect." When Liu Renyu said this, he suddenly looked up to the sky and smiled.

"I don't know what the adults mean by the big effect?" Li Jiye was puzzled.

"This time, I accompanied Hongjunmen to the south to fight for thieves and won a complete victory, and the thieves fled into Shanxi in a hurry. Shanxi's side is not much different from our Yansui, the armament is slack, the officers and soldiers have not received salaries for a long time, and the combat effectiveness is extremely weak. If the officials and soldiers in Shanxi can't control the thieves, it is expected that we will inevitably be assigned to the Shaanxi officials and soldiers to fight, and those miners from Shanxi can just be guides at that time, do you say yes or no? ”

"My lord, Shanxi's affairs have always been managed by Shanxi, can we be used? I heard that Xian Ke Jin Xianjunmen is a person who is not easy to mess with, and with him, it should not be easy to come to the life of a thief. Li Jiye wondered.

"What about the strength of the Xianjunmen, the generals under him are not effective, and the Xianjunmen can only stare dryly. So I think if the soldiers in Shanxi can't handle the thieves, the imperial court will inevitably transfer the thieves' capable officers and troops to Shanxi, and now we are in the Ming Dynasty, except for the Guanning Iron Cavalry, and our soldiers in Shaanxi are still the same, so I think the imperial court will transfer us to Shanxi nine times out of ten. ”

"Yes, that relationship is good, and the lowly firecrackers can play a big role." When Li Jiye heard this, he was overjoyed, so unhappy, but he was happy for a few minutes, and suddenly said with a dark color: "When the time comes, I will go to Shanxi to fight, and I am afraid that I will have to defend Jingbian Fort again, but I am afraid that I will not have a chance to go on the expedition." ”

"Jiye, do you want to go out to fight so much?" Liu Renyu asked with interest.

"My lord, the daily price of this Jingbian Fort is to inspect the city defense, supervise the training of the new army, and suffocate individuals. Therefore, the humble position is really envious of Desheng and Tie Niu, at least they can go out to fight and be happy on the field. ”

"Yes! I know, since you think so, then when the industrial manufacturing plant moves to Jingbian Fort, I will send another person to guard the north fort of Zhenzhen, let He Ergou guard Jingbian Fort, and then take you out on the expedition, what do you think? ”

"My lord, is what you said true?" When Li Jiye heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't believe it.

"I'll lie to you, and after a while, I'll go north to the Hetao to find the thief's bad luck, and I'll take you with me then."

"Thank you, thank you, my lord, it's great that you can finally go out and kill the enemy now." Li Jiye said happily.

"After saying this, I still have one more thing to ask you, how is your tunnel dug?"

"My lord, when you didn't go out with the firecrackers, the lowly took his sons and daughters to dig some tunnels, but before you dug much, you took the lowly firecrackers to the battle, and the lowly manpower was insufficient, so the matter of digging the tunnels came to a standstill."

"What you said is the truth, so let's do it, now the firecrackers have returned, you will continue to dig the tunnel with the firecrackers from now on, and the requirements of the tunnel will remain the same, and it will go straight to the fields, so that the people can return to Jingbian Fort in time when they encounter the enemy."

"Yes, my lord, the humiliation has been written."

"Well, I'm done asking you about everything, and next, Tianjun, I'm going to ask you." Liu Renyu turned his head and said to Ma Tianjun.

"My lord, if there is anything, just ask. Students know everything and say everything. Ma Tianjun smiled and said.

"How is my Jingbian Fort's education doing?"

"Adults, schools, and night schools have all been opened, but there are too few teachers and too many students, and gentlemen can't teach."

"There are difficulties, we can only overcome them, we must now use limited financial resources to give priority to ensuring the operation of the army, after all, with the protection of the army, we can keep everything in Jingbian Fort."

"Adults, students know that although the teachers have extremely heavy teaching tasks, they are honest and will not cheat."

"I know this, I don't say anything about it, the style of a scholar is still very admirable."

"The students and teachers have thanked the adults for their compliments." When Ma Tianjun said this, he suddenly got up and left his seat, and bowed to Liu Renyu very formally.

Ma Tianjun sang this for no reason, and Liu Renyu had to get up and leave his seat and bow back.

After the two of them finished speaking, Liu Renyu continued to ask: "The people in the city have already registered, so have you registered the people outside the city and made household registration books and identity plates." ”

"Back to the adult, you didn't order the students to register outside the city, so the students haven't done this yet, but since you asked here, the students will naturally send someone to do this as soon as possible."

In fact, in terms of Ma Tianjun's ability, he naturally knew that this should be done, but he didn't do it, this is because he has already seen through that Liu Renyu, the general, is very domineering, and has a strong desire to control his subordinates, and judging from his current performance, sometimes he is extremely benevolent, sometimes ruthless, and it is simply a split personality.

If he Ma Tianjun didn't ask Liu Renyu to make his own decisions, and handled the identity and household registration of the 14,000 displaced people outside the city, Liu Renyu might not say anything, but he couldn't help but muttered in his heart, this guy dared to make up his mind without asking for instructions, and he didn't take my guard in his eyes.

So when I meet such a lord, Ma Tianjun adheres to a point of view, no matter what you ask me to do, I will do it, and if you don't let me do it, I will never do it even if I know that I want to do it, otherwise you will benefit from it when things are done, and I will be unlucky; If things don't work well, you won't be profitable, I'm still unlucky, and I'm not a fool, I won't do it.

Liu Renyu didn't know the eighteen bends of the mountain road in Ma Tianjun's heart, so he listened to Ma Tianjun's words, then nodded and said: "There are more than 14,000 homeless people outside the city, the number is extremely large, and there are not many errands under you, don't worry, take your time, things can be done a little slower, but you can't make mistakes, you can write it down." ”

"Yes, my lord, the humiliation has been written."

"Besides, have you told the people of Jingbian Fort about the rules we used in Zhenbei Fort?"

"Adults, the students were afraid that the people in the fort would not be illiterate, so they did not post notices, but sent a few loud voices to publicize along the street, such as queuing up to buy things, no littering, no open defecation and other rules."

"Speaking of the matter of not allowing open defecation, when Daddy Zhao comes, I will tell him about building a public toilet in Jingbian Fort, and when the time comes, you will have to set aside land for Daddy Zhao to repair the toilet."

"Yes, my lord, the student should discuss this matter with Father Zhao at that time."

"Well, very good, by the way, let me ask you, how many people have broken the rules these days?"

"My lord, the habits that have been cultivated over the years naturally cannot be changed, and many people have been punished for violating the rules."

"There's no way around it, and when they get used to the new habits, they can be punished less."

"That's what my lord said." Ma Tianjun nodded.
