Xing'er is not in a hurry to go back, Li Jie is also willing to stay for a few more days, and accompany Xing'er to play by the river in the field every day, Li Jie is a little happy.

On the second day of coming to Huangzhuang, Xue Liang led the 500 people over, looking at the 500 men in tattered clothes but eager eyes, Li Jie burst into tears, and immediately ordered someone to arrange a meal, and ordered someone to prepare 500 sets of clothes.

For the use of 500 people, Li Jie considered repeatedly deciding on 100 giant archers, 300 pikemen, and 100 sword and shield soldiers.

When Xue Liang came to ask Li Jie why he arranged it this way, Li Jie said

"The world is about to be in chaos, the previous kind of military system could not allow soldiers to quickly produce combat effectiveness, and my current arrangement is to maximize the production of combat effectiveness, and in the future, these 500 people will use the old to bring the new, so that more ordinary people who join me can quickly become qualified soldiers. I'll also write down the training method, and when I go back to Beijing, you will train these 500 people according to it

“。 Li Jie was fishing with Xing'er by the river, and caught seven or eight fish in the morning. Xing'er made a fire, and Li Jie processed a few fish and inserted them on the branches to grill the fish. The fragrance of the fish attracted the children in the Huangzhuang, and they drooled greedily. Xing'er looked at Li Jie with a flood of love, Li Jie smiled bitterly and asked a dozen children who were about his age to find sticks, and after sharpening, he taught these children to insert fish, and soon the fragrance of fish filled the entire river, and the children laughed and jumped and ate and made trouble. The adults watched from afar, and their faces were all sincere smiles. Because they knew that the young man in front of them had waived their rent for this year, and they could eat a few more full meals this year. Looking at everything in front of him, Li Jie really hopes that time can stay in this moment forever. The next day, looking at the five hundred strong men in front of him, Li Jie said

"I will train with you for two days, and I will give you all the essentials and requirements of the movements, and after that, you must strictly follow these essentials, and those who violate military law will do it

“。 Then Li Jie stood at the head of the team, first of all, five kilometers of cross-country, insisted on running down five hundred strong men tired like five hundred dogs, one by one sticking out their tongues and panting, resting for half an hour and standing in a military posture for two hours, when the star officer on duty rang the golden bell, five hundred men lay on the ground like prawns. The afternoon was a monotonous trumpet

"The first row raised the bow and released the arrows one by one, and the second row raised the bow one by one

“

"Pikemen first row, right stab. Second row, right stab. Third row, right stab.

Two days later, Li Jie handed over the training to Xue Liang and continued to accompany Xing'er to corruption. It's almost July, and Li Jie knows that Huangchao will occupy Huainan next month and attack Henan in October, and the day of leaving Chang'an is getting closer and closer. Sitting in the car back to Beijing, Li Jie knew that the capital would soon be in chaos, and he had to get out before Xizong fled from Chang'an, but the timing was difficult to grasp. From a distance, Chang'an City is still so majestic, but people do not have the calmness of the past, uneasiness and agitation fill the city, and Daming Palace seems to have lost its former majesty in such an atmosphere. Li Jie decided not to wait any longer, always waiting for others to help him find something, there will definitely be deviations. I went back to the house and asked the nurse, and the nurse asked

"Xue Liang is back, what do you think about that matter.

Li Jie pretended to be confused

"What's going on?" The nurse was about to fight, Li Jie covered her head,

"What to pretend, you will have to face it sooner or later

“。 Looking at Manniang who was playing with Xing'er in the courtyard, Li Jie's eyes were full of a hint of liking and a hint of determination, but more of a hesitation. The first time he didn't call Xing'er, Li Jie, who was lying alone in the village, had insomnia, he knew that he had to marry Manniang, but he had an inexplicable feeling in his heart. The weather was good today, Li Jie took Xing'er and Manniang to Chang'an's West Market to have a look, and went out of the mansion in a carriage. The carriage walked slowly all the way, and soon came to the West Market. tang dynasty

"West Market" covers an area of more than 1,600 acres, with a construction area of 1 million square meters, more than 220 industries, and more than 40,000 fixed shops

The "Gold Market" was the largest commercial center in the world at that time. Li Jie helped Xing'er get out of the carriage. casually enter a shop owned by a Hu person.

An orchid came forward

"Distinguished guest, what do you need?" Li Jie said

"I'm just going to take a casual look first." As for Xing'er and Manniang, uh! Women seem to have a natural passion for jewelry.

From the moment they entered the store, the two looked at the agate pearls in the store, and their eyes lit up. Hu Ji saw that these two women had an unusual status in Li Jie's heart.

Hurriedly beckoned out two more Hu Ji to greet the two of them. Li Jie took a sip of the tea brought by Orchid and asked casually

"What crops are the main business trips over there?" Orchid said

"Distinguished guests, our main products are barley and wheat, and the staple food is basically the same as Datang, and it is mainly pasta.

Li Jie asked

"Have you ever seen a crop that looks like a clod of earth, with fruit growing in the ground but producing a lot of fruit?" Orchid said

"Guest, we've never heard of anything like this.

Li Jie thought to himself, could it be that I remembered wrong? Isn't there such a thing in West Asia either? Li Jie saw that he couldn't ask anything, so he bought a necklace for each of the two girls. For several days in a row, Li Jie took two girls to linger between the West Market and shuttled through the Huren shops. The family scoffed at this, and Tian Lingzi only smiled faintly when he heard it. Still a naughty child. Or is it easy for us to control later. Everyone thinks that he Li Jie is just having fun. didn't know that Li Jie was actually looking for what he needed. The thing that was for him to achieve the goal in his heart. this day. He entered the Yihu shop. An orchid stepped forward and asked

"Distinguished guest, what do you need?

Li Jie said

"Is your boss here?

"Humar, it's been annoying for the past two days, because his business hasn't been very good, and when I hear Orchid call him out. He was still very unhappy in his heart. However, in the face of a guest like Li Jie, he put away his contempt and asked cautiously

"Distinguished guest, what do you need?" Li Jie said

"You Hu merchants often travel from south to north, back and forth on the Silk Road, may I ask you have seen a kind of thing like a clod of soil, which grows in the ground and digs it out and cooks it to eat

Humar said

"I've never seen anything like it. Distinguished guest, do you have any purpose and any requirements. Li Jie said

"I was looking for a crop that would yield more than wheat, but I couldn't find it." Humar said

"Honored guest, have you forgotten that the yield of barley is nearly twice as high as that of wheat.

Li Jie was stunned when he heard this

"I've never heard of barley, so I'm ignoring something. But that's what the stuff.

Humar said

"Distinguished guest, barley is called barley in Tibet, I don't know what it's called here? But his yield is indeed nearly twice as high as that of wheat. Moreover, the planting cycle of barley is shorter than that of wheat and the yield is higher. If customers are just looking for something that yields a lot of money, the only thing I know at the moment is barley. Li Jie said with great joy

"Thank you, shopkeeper, but may I ask if you have any brimstone and miscanthus here?"

Humar said

"Not a lot, I'll look for it if needed

Li Jie gave Humar ten taels of silver and told him to get ready first, and he would come and get it at any time. Li Jie was more satisfied today, although he didn't find anything he was looking for, but he was surprised to learn that the yield of barley was higher than that of wheat, and he was still quite satisfied. If barley can be promoted, it will also be of great help to my own plan. Li Jie, who was satisfied, took Xing'er and Manniang to the restaurant for dinner. Suddenly, the voices of two people came from the next room

"These damn families, so rude. I'll wait for the company of such scum, so let's go home early. Another said

"Brother Shi doesn't have to be like this." Then one of them spoke

"These families are corrupt and control the government. But he couldn't do anything about the eunuchs, but he suppressed us and other poor students, and today we have resigned. Let's go home early. I see that the Yellow Nest is getting more and more powerful. There will be a day when soldiers will come to Chang'an. I'm waiting to go away as soon as possible, and it's not bad to avoid trouble.

Li Jie was startled. I patronized the search for what I wanted, but forgot that my energy alone is limited, I overlooked a lot of things, and I needed more people to gather around me. He immediately motioned for the guards to go and bring me the people next to him. After a while, the guards brought in two people. About 30 years old. All of them are cloth clothes. After the two entered the room. Li Jie said with his hand arched

"I don't know what the two resignings are going to do

The two returned the salute

"I have resigned and are ready to return to my hometown with my family. One of them said

"I don't know who your nobleman is?

Li Jie said

"This king is the emperor's brother Li Jie today.

The two of them were so frightened that they knelt down and kowtowed. Li Qi helped the two of them up with his own hands, and when he asked about them, the man in the round-necked white shirt replied

"Weichen Chen Ziqi, once served as a member of the household department.

He pointed to the man next to him, wearing a round-necked cyan gown

"This is Liu Wenyu, who used to be a member of the Tuntian Division of the Ministry of Industry." Li Jie asked again

"I don't know why you two are resigning." Chen Ziqi said

"The family has already controlled the government, and the eunuch party has set up the emperor. We and other poor students were excluded by the family in the court, and there was almost no place to stand. Yesterday we resigned, and tomorrow we are ready to return to our hometown. Li Jie said

"I wonder what you two think about the current situation." The two said

"The Yellow Nest thieves are getting bigger and bigger, and the place only knows how to raise Kou and respect themselves, although we have the heart to serve the country, how can we be soft-spoken, and we are all from poor families, which are not tolerated by the family." Li Jie said

"I intend to revive the dynasty and regain me, and I don't know if the two of you can help me." The two said

"What does Your Highness think?

Li Jie said

"I'm trying to figure out how to leave Chang'an right now. I am the envoy of the Lulong Festival. I want to go to Lulong to develop my power. Li Jie said

"I would like to invite two gentlemen to live in my house and talk to me about it.

“

"But how will my two families be settled?

The two asked, and Li Jie thought about it for a while,

"How about I send someone to send the two family members to the imperial village outside my city first

“

"Your Highness

“
