It's the New Year, and Chunzejian is full of festive atmosphere. Although the Xiang army under Zheng He's jurisdiction and the shepherds of Chunze Jian only received a meager dividend at the end of the year, no one complained. Everyone understands that this is only the first year, and the entire proving ground has not yet produced much. But the promoter promised that it would be better every year in the future.

In fact, everyone can see this prospect, now there are pigs, chickens and ducks in every family, and many horses and donkeys are pregnant, which is all money. The words of the promotion officials are counted, and they are not afraid that they will not be able to share dividends in the future.

At the end of the year, the cooperatives organized with the help of the officials bought all kinds of daily necessities for everyone, which were much cheaper than those bought from the vendors. The officials bought back dozens of big fat pigs to improve everyone's life, and also helped everyone organize and arrange several carriages every day to send the soldiers of the new army to Bianliang to play, and others could also take a ride, and many people saw what the city of Tokyo was like for the first time in their lives. Most of the Muzi of Xiang Jun and Chunze Prison have never lived such a happy life in their lives.

Li Zhang's admiration for Li Buqi was really admirable. His father is one of the three chiefs of the Commander's Forbidden Army, although he is young and only a servant officer, but whether it is from his father or from the children of the nobles who interact with him every day, he knows how difficult it is to manage the military man.

If there is less reward in the New Year's Festival, there will be trouble, if the discipline is strict, there will be trouble, and if you have been stationed in the poor country for a long time, you will make trouble, and even if you don't have alcohol, you will make trouble. However, Li Buqi was particularly strict with this new army stationed in the wilderness, even during the Chinese New Year, he only gave four days off to go out, and let the soldiers take turns to follow the carriage to Bianliang City, and most of the soldiers had to stay in the barracks. And there was no reward at all before the Chinese New Year, if it was other forbidden armies and school parade army, it would have been a fuss a long time ago.

Therefore, Li Zhang was actually always ready for an accident, but he found that he was worried in vain, and Li Bu had more ideas.

As soon as he was on vacation since he was a child, Li Buqi did not let the soldiers be idle, and he was lively and lively every day. Competitions such as skill competitions, tug-of-war competitions, and password passing competitions in each capital and class alone made the soldiers have a lot of fun. Although the prizes of the winners are not anything of value, the soldiers cannot be delighted.

And Li Buqi is too creative, what kind of back-to-back running, back-to-back dribbling running and other projects have been created by him, so that the school field from morning to night laughter. But what the soldiers like the most is a ball game created by Li Buqi. This kind of ball game is a team of seven people on each side to fight, according to the rules set by Li Buqi to advance a ball to the bottom line of the opponent's half to win.

This game not only requires seven people to work closely together to fight wits and courage with their opponents, but it is also more confrontational than the popular Keju of the Great Song Dynasty, which is deeply loved by these young men with strong blood. Although they were still playing very roughly, under the instigation of Li Buqi, they still held a league between the capitals, and not only all the soldiers of the new army gathered around, but even the Xiangjun and the shepherds also came to watch, cheering for every success and regretting every failure. The atmosphere is not comparable to the women's sumo wrestling performances in Tokyo's tiles.

These are all daytime activities. Li Buqi found three storytellers from Tokyo, and lit a bonfire on the school field at night, everyone sat around the bonfire and listened to the storytellers, and the limelight of the story of the Three Kingdoms was overshadowed by "The Legend of the White Snake" and "Nie Xiaoqian".

But what people didn't expect was that the most popular ones turned out to be Sun Yong, Sun Xujiu. Seeing that the storytellers were talking lively, he was also interested, and the iron plate copper pipa sang the story of the heroes of the Han and Tang dynasties to everyone in a Qin dialect. Although most people can't understand his Shaanxi dialect, the high-pitched and fierce Qin dialect makes everyone want to stop, and they can't do it if they don't listen to the last paragraph every night.

In accordance with Li Bu's order not to abandon the previous year, training began again after the 15th day of the first lunar month, and no one complained, on the contrary, after more than 20 days of rest and recuperation, the soldiers were full of energy and more efficient than the previous year. For this reason, Li Zhang once again praised Li Buqi in front of the emperor's cousin when he returned to Bianliang. And the emperor was also very satisfied, neither asking the emperor for money, nor spending money to buy people's hearts to stabilize the mood of more than 600 soldiers, such talents are rare.

However, the emperor also asked Li Zhang worriedly: "Tell me not to give up, the reform has begun to be implemented, and the results will be visible soon." My inner treasury should be filled again soon, so he doesn't have to worry about getting money. It's not good to stay on the roof all the time, and it's not a trick to fall down. ”

Fan Dashen's attitude towards Chao Zhongyue's incident really hit Li Buqi's three views, and Li Buqi needed to find a place where no one was there to think about it clearly. There is no rooftop in the Great Song Dynasty, so Li can only go to the roof, especially when the moonlight is bright, and he thinks about things best. So Chunze Jian has an extra view, every moonlit night, Li Tiju will squat on the top of the official office to watch the moon.

At first, both the three nobles and the new army standing guard were startled, but later it was not surprising to see that Li Tiju was indeed just squatting on the roof and thinking about things, not jumping down, and not making other unusual moves. And Li Buqi said that he was planning how to make money for the emperor, which not only moved Li Zhang very much, but also filled everyone in the test site with hope - Lord Tiju promised that everyone could drink soup when the emperor ate meat.

In the early spring, squatting on the roof for a while could have frozen to death, but now Li Buqi put on a padded jacket close to his body, wrapped a sheepskin coat with wool on the inside of the sentry and buttoned the hood to his head, and did not feel cold at all. This can be regarded as a test of cold protection equipment.

It was already completely dark, and a small wind was blowing, but a few bonfires were lit on the school grounds, and there were still many officers and soldiers training spontaneously around the bonfires. Since Li Zhang came back from Bianliang and said that the emperor was going to review the new army on the first day of March this year, these guys have been like this, and they all want to earn face for the new army in front of the emperor.

Looking at these hard-working Song people, Li Buqi couldn't help but sigh: What a good warrior, no lack of courage, no lack of honor, no lack of tenacity and perseverance, no lack of shrewdness, this is the best warrior in the world, no wonder the weak Southern Song Dynasty could resist Mongolia for so long, no wonder the Han and Tang Dynasties could sweep the Western Regions.

It's strange that China has such good warriors, why hasn't the Han and Tang dynasties reproduced since the Song Dynasty? Of course, this reason can be attributed to the corruption of feudal rule, but wasn't the feudal rule of the Han and Tang dynasties corrupt? Why did the Han and Tang dynasties fight the nomads all over the place, and since the Song Dynasty, except for Zhu Di, the Han people have been pressed and beaten by the nomads for the rest of the time?

In the past 1,000 years, China has basically never risen to prominence, and this must be a system problem.

After many years of confusion in the workplace, he has learned a truth: the power of the individual is very small, and the organization is very important. A good organization can not only allow each member to give full play to their abilities but also achieve the effect that one plus one is greater than two, and a bad organization will make people unable to use their energy.

And the literati and Confucian scholars of the Great Song Dynasty were obviously destroying the organization of the Great Song Dynasty. What they desire is for the common people to take the family as a unit, "chickens and dogs smell each other, old age and death do not get along", and what they yearn for is "vertical arch and rule", that is, to make the common people into a plate of scattered sand and then let them go freely. In this way, the literati and Confucian scholars who can only read and can't do things are indeed idle, but since then, the flower growers have a huge population, crushing the culture and technology of other civilizations on the earth, but they are unable to export this power to the outside world. Especially when encountering the form of exporting forces such as war, which requires the most organizational ability, it is definitely becoming more and more inadequate.

Therefore, since the Song Dynasty, the expansion of the flower planters has basically stopped, but there are more and more people, and people are so smart, and the huge energy always needs to be released. Since it cannot be released externally, it can only be consumed internally, so the direction in which people release their energy can only be infighting.

Thinking about this, Li Buqi suddenly had an epiphany. Some of the questions that I had been thinking about before seemed to have found answers.
