Chapter 0073: Choosing a Centurion

After Fang Jue's letter was read by the crown prince, the crown prince Ye Hongyin quickly went to his emperor's father. After half an hour of negotiation, the emperor spoke and handed over the matter of Chang'an Iron Mine to the crown prince Ye Hongyin.

If you want to get the right to mine iron ore, you must pay 1 million taels of silver to the imperial court every year, and the payment period is three years. As for whether the iron ore can be mined for three years, or how much it is mined, it must be taxed in this way, and if it cannot be paid, the iron ore can be used to make armaments to deduct the tax silver.

There is a million silver into the account every year, a business that makes a steady profit without losing money, and the emperor is not a fool, and one iron mine can be worth a year's tax revenue of the whole country, of course he has to do it.

Early the next morning, the prince issued a document and asked Fang Jue to transfer it to Qian Kai. Qian Kai looked at the prince's seal on the paperwork, and almost wanted to hug Fang Jue and kiss him.

"If you don't mobilize manpower yet, hurry up and open the mine, I'm still waiting for the army to standby." Fang Jue said.

"Thank you, Brother Jue, great kindness, Qian Kai will never forget." Qian Kai was so excited, tears were about to fall.

As long as Qian Kai gets this business, no one can shake his position in the Qian family. Cooperating with the crown prince is equivalent to an imperial businessman, and no matter what business you do in the future, it will be smooth sailing. This time it can be described as a win-win situation, the emperor solved all kinds of headaches and brain fever, Fang Jue had financial backing, and Qian Kai thus laid the cornerstone of his glory.

Fang Jue counted the soldiers' performance scores according to Nanfeng's statistics and began to select the core figures of the army. The top ten are centurions, the top eleven to one hundred, and ninety are captains, and each commander has jurisdiction over ten people.

Fang Jue didn't need to remember their names, nor did the soldiers need to remember the names of each captain and centurion, but only the numbers on their chests.

There are a thousand people in total, and the first digit of each hundred digits is the name of the centurion, and the second to tenth of each hundred is the captain under the centurion. Secondly, each platoon commander had ten soldiers in order. Fang Jue only needed to remember ten centurions, and as for the thousands, Fang Jue felt that it was better to have them by himself.

Fang Jue called the ten centurions into the camp tent and prepared to hold a meeting for them, which could be regarded as the first congress of the military camp. As long as these ten people are explained, Fang Jue will be much easier in the future.

"Yes, it didn't disappoint me." Fang Jue looked at a soldier who had just been promoted to centurion, he was the soldier that Chu Liuyun threw down.

"Thank you for not giving up that day." Zero Zero One was grateful, and quickly knelt down to thank him.

"You don't have to thank me, you can sit in the position of centurion, it is the result of your own efforts, if you really want to be grateful, then lead the troops well and be the best centurion." Fang Jue hurriedly motioned for Zero Zero One to get up.

"You are the best of a thousand, and if you can be a centurion today, he will be a thousand-commander tomorrow, and even a general. As long as you work hard, it is possible to seal the marquis for thousands of miles. Fang Jue encouraged.

Next, Fang Jue assigned tasks to each centurion, and asked them to start training the shield formation, which must be able to act quickly, and the formation can calmly deal with attacks when attacked. One hundred people are a large array, and eleven people can be a small array, and they can freely switch between each other.

After Fang Jue finished giving the order, he watched the soldiers drill, leisurely and without any pressure to talk.

"Young master, this method is good, you don't have to do it yourself so much in the future." Nan Feng made tea for Fang Jue on the side.

"Nanfeng, prepare the horse, go back to the palace."

Fang Jue explained the affairs of the military camp, as long as he came over every day to assign tasks, and then checked the results, everything would be handed over to the ten centurions.

Knowing that Fang Jue had returned home, Yang Yuting hurriedly came over from the courtyard of Princess Tan Yunshu.

"Erniang, when did you come to the palace?" Fang Jue invited Yang Yuting to sit at the stone table in the courtyard. "Make tea and take the good tea rewarded by the princess."

"I've just arrived, too." Yang Yuting's expression was calm, she lied so calmly, if Fang Jue hadn't sent someone to investigate, she wouldn't have known that Yang Yuting was lying. "Jue'er has been doing well recently, the military camp is not as good as Fangfu, and she must have suffered a lot. Look at you, you're all thin. ”

"I'm very good in the barracks, but I make Erniang worry." Fang Jue didn't debunk Yang Yuting, but he just felt that it was unnecessary, as long as he knew what she was.

"I came to visit you on behalf of the lord this time, the military camp is important, it is not child's play, if you don't want to go, I will ask the king of Luoyang to intercede with the emperor." Yang Yuting's face was sincere, and Fang Jue couldn't see any hypocrisy.

With such profound skills, Fang Jue couldn't help but sigh, it was nothing more than that he felt that he couldn't endure hardship, and he was even more afraid that he would cause trouble in the military camp and affect the Fang Mansion.

"Thank you Erniang for your kindness, Fang Jue is doing well, I will consult the King of Luoyang about the military camp, and ask Erniang to convey it to his father, so that he doesn't have to worry." Fang Jue picked up the teacup. "Erniang might as well try it, this is the tribute tea rewarded by the princess."

Yang Yuting took a small sip. "Juan'er..."

The maid Juan'er on the side looked at Fang Jue in surprise, a little darker, but she couldn't see it when she was thin. Fang Jue's gaze brought Juan'er back to her senses, and her little face turned a little embarrassed and shy.

"This is 50,000 taels of silver tickets, take it, the capital is not as good as Jiangning County, there are many places to use money, you are so good to take care of it." Yang Yuting asked Juan'er to take out the silver ticket and hand it to Fang Jue.

"Thank you, Erniang." Fang Jue said politely. "Pity, it's good to take it."

It's this cheap slave again, and the maid Juan'er reluctantly handed a stack of silver tickets to the maid Li'er.

"Li'er, you can get the little gift I bought for Juan'er last time I went shopping." Fang Jue suddenly spoke.

"Ahh Lian'er couldn't think of it for a while, but she saw it in Fang Jue's eyes. I wanted to let myself buy what I bought last time I went shopping with Fang Jue and give some to Juan'er. The young master is really good at doing things, and he obviously sold it to himself, but he has to give it away.

"Thank you, young master, for remembering Juan'er." Juan'er looked happy and waited for Li'er to come out of the room.

"I heard the master mention that in the land of Yicheng this year, the Tubo people have frequent activities, as if they are planning a big battle. The emperor has begun to transfer troops from various states and counties to prepare to assemble in Yicheng. Half of the 100,000 troops in Jiangning County have been transferred. "Yang Yuting is a woman, unabashedly discussing politics and military affairs." What the lord is most worried about is that the emperor is so eager to train the new army, he doesn't want to test the new army, and you are a general who trains the new army. ”

Fang Jue knew that the test army was to let the new army rush to the front as a death squad. Things have developed to such an extent that it is impossible to temporarily repent, which is a great crime of deceiving the king and misleading the country. Yang Yuting transmitted to Fang Jue a message that only high-level people could know, except for dialects, I am afraid that no one would dare to divulge secrets so boldly.

"How many days will Erniang come to the capital, when will she return to Jiangning County?" After talking about the matter, Fang Jue couldn't help but ask.

"I'll leave tomorrow, what's the matter, does Jue'er want to drive me away?" Yang Yuting said with a smile.

"Jue'er doesn't dare, it's just that Jue'er is busy with military affairs and doesn't have time to accompany Erniang to visit the prosperity of Chang'an, so I feel a little unhappy." Fang Jue smiled faintly. "Actually, I'm not familiar with the capital, why don't I let Li'er find a local, and then take Erniang to go shopping."

"Young master, don't dare to say anything else, Chang'an City, Madame but..."The maid Juan'er suddenly interjected.

"Shut up, there's no place for you to talk here." Yang Yuting suddenly interrupted Juan'er's words. "Jue'er is kind, Erniang understands it, Chang'an City will not be visited, as long as Jue'er is fine, Erniang will rest assured."

Yang Yuting said goodbye to Fang Jue and left with Juan'er. Juan'er was a little aggrieved and hugged some gadgets, followed behind Yang Yuting, and looked back at Fang Jue in three steps, Fang Jue just smiled kindly.
