As he wished, the three future prime ministers were brought under the account, Luo Tong was very happy, with them as his staff, what else could not be handled? In the future, I can let go of all military training.

Luo Tong was not polite to them, and the next morning, he directly took them to the council hall of the Governor's Mansion, introduced them to Wang Xuance and Du He, and then handed over the heavy matters to them with great trust.

Liu Renliang has been an idle county lieutenant for nearly five years, and Shangguan Yi makes a living by writing letters on behalf of others! Ma Zhou is even more wandering around to increase his knowledge, to put it bluntly, he has nothing to do.

They are now desperate to have something to do. Luo Tong handed over the complicated affairs of the Sanzhou government to them, which moved them, and their enthusiastic attitude towards official affairs made workaholics Wang Xuance and Du He, who were accustomed to work pressure, feel pressure.

Liu Renliang, Ma Zhou, and Shangguanyi are all talents, although they have never been in contact with the government affairs of the Governor's Mansion, and they only seem to be a little new at the beginning, but the results they have dealt with are not inaccurate.

In less than a week, Liu Renliang, Ma Zhou, and Shangguan Yi have mastered all kinds of tricks and mysteries, and like veterans, they have handled all government affairs in an orderly manner.

Ma Zhou also specially drew up a set of procedures for handling the affairs of the Sanzhou government, dividing Wang Xuance and Liu Renliang to deal with the latest government affairs, while he and Shangguanyi and Du He sorted out the accumulated government affairs in the past. In this way, the latest situation can be solved as soon as possible, and the accumulated government affairs are constantly decreasing. It avoids the situation that new things accumulate over time and become old things.

Although Liu Renliang, Ma Zhou, Shangguanyi, Wang Xuance, and Du He are five people, they are busy and proficient, and their efficiency can be used as a hundred people.

No matter how complicated things are, when they reach the hands of Liu Renliang, Ma Zhou, and Shangguanyi, they can let them deal with them in the simplest way, and this level of handling important military and political affairs, Wang Xuance and Du He are ashamed of themselves.

In his contact with Liu Renliang, Ma Zhou, and Shangguanyi, Luo Tong gradually discovered that all three of them were rare talents, and their abilities were also different: Liu Renliang was good at handling official affairs rather than strategic military strategy, while Ma Zhou and Shangguanyi were good at handling logistics and government affairs, and each had their own strengths.

Luo Tong let them deal with the areas they are good at, and the efficiency has improved a lot.

It was only half a month before and after, and it was because of the help of Liu Renliang, Ma Zhou, and Shangguanyi that the Governor's Mansion had already clarified the previous bad debts, and it was still running smoothly. All the dynamics in military affairs, how many soldiers, how many war horses, how much grain, how many walled cities, and even how many generals and colonels there are and their names are all under the control of Luo Tong, and he has officially sat in the position of governor of Gyeongju.

For meritorious heroes, Luo Tong never skimps on rewards. In just half a month, he promoted Liu Renliang to Zhu Cao to participate in the military, and Ma Zhou and Shangguan Yi to record the military affairs, and each of them was promoted to one rank.

Although Liu Renliang, Ma Zhou, and Shangguan Yi were promoted after working for half a month, Luo Tong's staff group was not dissatisfied with the people: after getting along for a month, they had already impressed the talents of the three of them. Even the chief of staff under Luo Tong, Sima Wang Xuance, and the secretary general, Shi Duhe, also admired Liu Renliang, Ma Zhou, and Shangguan Yi's five bodies, and in turn asked them for advice. The two of them are clever and eloquent, and they are humble in asking for advice, and their status is obviously higher than that of Liu Renliang, Ma Zhou, and Shangguanyi, but they are not ashamed to ask them for advice.

Liu Renliang, Ma Zhou, and Shangguanyi are not the kind of characters who have no one in their eyes, Wang Xuance and Du He are so attentive, and they are not stingy with their guidance.

Now Luo Tongzhen has really become a superior person, and the military has been handed over to Liu Boying, Qin Huaiyu, Cheng Chuliang, Li Yesi, Luo Yuan, Almaty, who has returned, and Yaochi, who "does not want to make progress". The government affairs were handed over to Wang Xuance, Du He, Liu Renliang, Ma Zhou, and Shangguanyi, as long as they asked, they would probably understand, and they would deal with the details. It's rare to be able to train his 1,000-broken barracks wholeheartedly.

This is also the responsibility of the governor, he considers the general policy and strategy, and the subordinate Wenwu deals with the details around the general policy. After being liberated from military and political affairs, he also began to think about his next plan.

"Governor, the imperial court has sent three thousand sets of armor and three thousand ...... like broken army swords."

"Miao knife, the seedling of He Miao! The newly invented new weapon is more suitable for slashing and immediate combat than the Tang sword. Luo Tong prompted!

"Three thousand Miao knives, one thousand daggers, and fifteen special Miao knives, I have already signed for them here, the amount is correct, I don't know which army it is allocated to, I have to be prepared." Ma Zhou's military salary in the treasury of the liquidation mansion today unexpectedly received the news that the imperial court sent 3,000 sets of armor, 3,000 Miao knives, 1,000 daggers, and 15 special Miao knives. It's not yet time for the soldiers of Sanzhou to replace their old armor, and they haven't heard of the lack of armor in that army, so I came to ask for clarification.

Luo Tong scratched his head and muttered: "The armor and the Miao knife each cost 30,000, and they only gave 3,000, but he is still His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he is really stingy." Hmph, it must be Li Shangshu's ghost, go back to Chang'an to find Aunt Hongfu to complain. ”

Ma Zhou Khan said: "Dudu, there are a lot of ......" There is anyone like Luo Tong in the entire Tang Dynasty, who has all kinds of clothes, weapons, and war horses, this is already extraordinarily generous, but this goods still earn this and that!

"Let's go, let's see!" The plan in Luo Tong's mind is a thousand sets, and if there are a thousand sets, his plan can be implemented, and it will be a little troublesome if there is less than this amount, and now there are three thousand sets that have exceeded his expectations.

He knew that although Li Shimin supported him in acting in the north, he was not without a bottom line. If you want to have soldiers, you want money and money, and you won't arrange for him to suffer in this position, who will do it. He opened his mouth widely, but he didn't think that Li Shimin would cash it all out. Just ask for as many benefits as possible to make things easier. 3,000 sets, in fact, is a lot, but the people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, but he asked for 30,000 sets in the letter.

When he came to the Gyeongju warehouse, Ma Zhou pointed to the armor that had just entered the warehouse and said: "That's it, it seems that the style of our army is a little different and gorgeous." ”

Luo Tong didn't answer, stepped forward and took a pair of armor and shook it.

Although it is recorded in history that more than sixty percent of the soldiers of the Tang Army were mainly in armor, and the rate of wearing iron armor was extremely high, and it was second only to the Song Dynasty with infantry as the main combat force among all dynasties, but it was by no means this era. During the Wude period, the Tang Dynasty was not so extravagant, and the armor of the soldiers in this era was still dominated by leather armor. It is mostly made of rhinoceros, shark and other leathers, painted on them, and divided into armor body, armor sleeves and armor skirt.

In the past, as long as the soldier's armor was satisfied with the three key parts of the armor body, armor sleeves and armor skirt, the others were very casual, but the armor in Luo Tong's hand, in addition to the three key parts of the armor body, armor sleeves and armor skirt, were made of leather, and the sleeves, collars, trouser legs, and other places were neatly sewn with red silk cloth, which looked very beautiful, just as Ma Zhou said, "Gorgeous!" ”

Luo Tong looked left and right, and couldn't find anything wrong, after all, it was carefully designed, and there were no non-mainstream ideas in ancient times, and the workmanship and beauty were in line with the public's taste.

They are all big men, Luo Tong didn't care about anything else, he directly took off the purple robe on his body, threw it to the guards, put the armor on his hand, and said while arranging his sleeves: "How is it?" ”

Ma Zhou's head was a little bent, and he didn't know which one Luo Tong was singing.

"Handsome or not?" Luo Tong put on a sassy posture and asked.

The corners of Ma Zhou's mouth twitched, and he said: "Du Du Jian has sharp eyebrows, handsome and elegant, with three points of lofty bearing, he is indeed a hero among people." "He's not good at complimenting people, but Luo Tong is tall and tall, and he is born with a clothes rack, even if he is wearing a small soldier's armor, he still has an eye-catching bearing.

"Who asked you to say this, how I look is something that everyone knows, and I have to ask you! I'm talking about armor, how about this armor? Luo Tong said with a little narcissism, I have to say that compared to his mediocre appearance in his previous life, Luo Tong is indeed a handsome guy who is one in ten thousand.

"Qiao Luo Cheng" Luo Shixin's son, where can he be sent.

Ma Zhou coughed embarrassedly, he was rigorous and serious, not very good at Luo Tong's jokes, he filtered the past independently, glanced at it again, and said: "This armor integrates the soldier's leather armor with the silk cloth armor, it is really beautiful and generous to wear on the body, and it is also very practical, but this unnecessary work, will it be extravagant?" He was in charge of such trivial matters as grain, grass, and equipment, and he also learned about it.

The Tang Dynasty has thirteen armors, which are divided into Mingguang, Guangyao, fine scales, mountain inscriptions, bird hammers, white cloth, soap juan, cloth back, infantry, leather armor, wooden armor, chains, and vests. Among them, Mingguang armor is the most well-made and well-protected armor of the Tang Dynasty, which is not only handsome but practical, but because of the complicated workmanship, huge cost, and extremely low output, only a few generals who have made great contributions can only have it after being rewarded by Li Shimin.

Because Luo Tong helped Li Shimin solve troubles from time to time, he already had three sets of Mingguang armor here, one more than the Sixteenth Wei General.

As for the other armor, each has its own useful uses, such as chain mail is good at guarding against sharp arrows, and fine scale armor is very good at preventing slashing, etc......

This new batch of armor is a combination of combat leather armor and silk cloth armor. It has the protective power of leather armor and the beauty of silk cloth armor.

However, in Ma Zhou's view, this change is extravagant and wasteful, and completely meaningless.

"You know what!" Luo Tong gave him a blank look, "Look at it, this armor will be the key to the rise of the border soldiers." ”

He said with a deep smile on his face, and he was very satisfied with the handsome soldiers' leather armor.

After trying on the armor, Luo Tong first looked at the special Miao knife, he took out the Miao knife one by one, a total of fifteen, Luo Tong gently pulled out the knife, and the cold air on the blade came to his face, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he waved lightly, 'Bang! With a bang, the ten-centimeter-thick corner of the table was broken, which moved everyone around.

"Yours!" The Miao knife was returned to the sheath, and Luo Tong threw it to Ma Zhou.

Ma Zhou took it easily, and said with great joy: "The governor said to me?" ”

The Tang Dynasty was still martial, even scribes like Ma Zhou could go into battle to kill the enemy, and after arriving in Gyeongju, they participated in military training and were forced to learn the health version of Taijiquan by Luo Tong.

Ma Zhou is not rich, he uses an inferior knife, this kind of treasure knife, he has not seen it. He took the Miao knife, his heart was about to explode with joy, he held the treasure knife and saluted Luo Tong deeply, "The grace of the knife given by the governor is remembered by Ma Zhou." ”

Luo Tong picked out four handles and gave them to Wang Xuance, Du He, Liu Renliang, and Shangguan Yi respectively. Seeing that the four of them lost their cool with excitement, and thought of the ecstasy when they got the knife, Ma Zhou faintly understood Luo Tong's intentions.
