In the early morning, the rooster crowed twice, Li Buqi immediately jumped up from the bed, and Tao Lin, who was sleeping on the small bed, hurriedly got up and lit the oil lamp with a fire fold. Li Buqi put the clothes that he had folded at the end of the bed last night on his body and tied his belt, and Tao Lin hung the sword on Li Buqi's belt. Li Bu abandoned the official office and saw that the two military leaders on duty at night were already waiting at the door.

Li Buqi only nodded and said, "Let's start." When the hour comes, you will blow the whistle, and you don't have to wait for me. ”

Chao Baozhu, who looked capable, replied, "Order!" ”

Then the other commander put the brass whistle he had already held in his hand to his mouth and blew it. As the sharp whistle collided in all directions in the barracks, the barracks immediately became lively. As the drum sounded, Li Buqi raised a hand, and after each drum sound, he curled a finger. When the first finger was bent, Wang Zhaoming appeared behind him; When the three-way drum sounded, Li Zhang ran out of the official office with his entourage. When the three-way drum stopped, there was a queue that stood crookedly on the school field; When the Wutong drum stopped, the last one was also in line, and Ge Shengwen only trotted all the way to the school field at this time, and almost fell because it was dark, which caused a burst of laughter from the recruits.

This shows the gap. Wang Zhaoming seems to have followed Wang Deyong to mix in the army for a long time, and has adapted to military life. When Li Zhang was young, Li Yonghe was still living a poor life, and Li Zhang was an errand boy when he became the marquis of the Cabinet Mansion, so the discipline was okay. Ge Shengwen is a pampered son, and he needs to practice hard.

Seeing that the team had arrived, Li Buqi stood on the earthen platform on the edge of the school yard and ordered loudly: "The first capital, the first team is completed, and the commendation is proposed!" The fourth, the last one, penalized, ran three laps around the school field! ”

The recruits lacked discipline, some laughed, others screamed, and there was a commotion in the ranks. The commanders immediately pressed to silence the recruits.

When the fourth capital went to run laps, Li Buqi continued: "Now I announce the discipline of the exercise, you guys listen! Most of you are also selected from the box army, you should know the rules! In the morning, the whole team must be assembled within the three-way drum, and the whole team that can't get the three-way drum will be punished! Today is the first day, and only the one who arrives late will be punished, and all those who arrive late will run ten laps around the school field first! ”

Li Zhang, who acted as a military judge, hurriedly wrote down this military law.

"My name is Li Buqi! You've probably heard my name! ”

"From today, we will start training! First of all, I want you to understand that this team is completely different from the box army you have been in! The military leaders here will not deduct your salaries, and will not use you as a tool to make money for them! You'll be well fed and warmly dressed! And I promise you'll have meat in your bowl every day! If anyone dares to withhold your money and food, you can come to me directly! The only requirement here is to obey the command, train hard, practice the ability to kill the enemy, and defend our Great Song Dynasty when needed! ”

"In three years' time, you will be the most powerful warriors in the world! Equipped with the most powerful blades, you can easily kill even the Liao and Western Xia people. You should be eager to meet the Liao and Tangut people, which will allow you to build up meritorious deeds, and maybe even fight for a career! If there is no war, you can still learn literacy, arithmetic, and craftsmanship here, so that you can support your family after you retire! ”

There was another commotion—the soldiers couldn't believe that there was such a good thing.

Li Buqi ignored the buzz in the ranks, but raised his voice: "In the Great Song Dynasty, there is no army with such good conditions!" So I want to make you all the fighters I want. If someone doesn't follow the discipline and don't train well, then I'll eliminate him! Where did you come from, where do you go back! ”

Seeing that the sky was getting brighter, Li Buqi ended his speech: "Okay! Now take away the drills! ”

When the soldiers heard Li Buqi's speech, they all unconsciously cheered up. They were all selected from the box army, so they naturally knew what an ordinary box army was like. It is the norm not to pay salaries for several years, and it is already a conscience for the military leaders to expect the military rations issued by the imperial court to be able to eat seven cents full, and they have to give people the work to drink and drink, which is simply not a human life.

This army is definitely an outlier. The meals are all made of new rice and good noodles, and there is at least one broth every day, so I am not afraid that you will eat too much, but I am afraid that you will not eat it. Who has ever seen such an army?

Although no salary has been paid yet, since Li Buqi guarantees that the military salary will not be tasty, the vast majority of people will believe in this guarantee. Because Li Buqi's reputation is very loud, many of those who were selected from Gyeonggi Road, Hebei Road and Jingxi Road have already heard of Li Buqi's name, and know that Li Buqi is also from a military family, and has done a lot of good things for the forbidden army in the capital after he became developed. It's my own person.

Throwing more than 20 military leaders among more than 600 people is like sprinkling sesame salt, and you can't see people at all. Li Buqi had no choice but to personally go down to the first capital to demonstrate, Li Zhang and the three nobles saw that Li Buqi had already gone down in person, so they had to follow the military posture in the same way.

After about an hour of training, the Huotou Army made breakfast, and Li Buqi ordered to stop training and eat breakfast.

Although it was not the first day to teach them discipline, these recruits still carried the habits of the Great Song Xiang Army, and as soon as they saw the opening of the meal, they involuntarily hugged up, for fear that they would be squeezed behind and not be able to eat. A group of military leaders had to patrol back and forth to see if anyone wanted to disobey the rules and kick them, so as to maintain the order of queuing for food. Seeing that the military leaders were a little hoarse, Li Buqi had no choice but to take Li Zhang and them to stay to maintain order.

At this time, Yao Fu shook over and said to Li Zhang with a flattering face: "Guan Gou, you are too polite to these pickled people to pour money, send a few people to stand aside with sticks, and I am not afraid that they will not obey the rules." It's not too early, so let's have breakfast as soon as possible. ”

Li Zhang is a person who can't offend people, just smiled, Li Buqi immediately glared when he saw so many soldiers guarding: "So Yao commanded the army to have a very good way?" I want to go back and see what the soldiers brought out by my command look like. ”

Yao Fu hurriedly shrank his head when he heard that Li Buqi's words were wrong, and scolded in his heart: "You are obviously a kid from a stinky military Han family, and you don't know what your surname is when you are a sesame mung bean petty official." What kind of civil servant style to learn? ”

After the soldiers finished eating, Li Bu abandoned them and returned to the official office and had breakfast in a hurry. Xu Zhong asked: "Lift, when will you look at the account books?" ”

Time is not waiting, Li Buqi said that he would handle the handover immediately. Xu Zhong immediately called the steward and the bookkeepers to report to Li Buqi.

Judging from the books, Chunze Jian left a large amount of horse feed, grain and grass, but Li Buqi knew that these things were all left by the herd priest, and there must be a lot of cats in it. He stopped the account room that was reporting: "Have you personally checked the things in this account?" ”

The bookkeeper nodded hurriedly. Li Buqi asked: "Then tell me, how much can you really use here?" ”

The next few account offices were silent, and Xu Zhong hurriedly signaled the account offices to retreat first. Li Buqi stopped them and said, "If there is anything to say, let's make it clear together, so as to save trouble in the future." Guan Gou has nothing to say. ”

Xu Zhong had to smile bitterly and said, "Lift, I watched these things handover." To tell you the truth, this is still a month before I bargained with Chunzejian and those people to complete the handover, but I am afraid that only half of this grain and grass can be used. ”

Li Zhang jumped up in fright: "Huh? Half of it is thousands of yuan, how can such a big deficit be explained to the officials? ”

Xu Zhong said: "Li Guangou, I tell you the truth, the group pastor is fearless. Most of the stewards in the group of pastors were the relatives of Enyin, and the officials could not do anything to them. If Guan Gou doesn't take care of us, we will have to hang ourselves. ”

Li Zhang's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, but it was hard to say anything. He knew that Li Buqi had asked the Qunmu Division to dispose of all the land and houses in Chunze's prison, but the Qunmu Division insisted that the amount of materials was huge and it was not easy to move, and some of the nobles who served in the Qunmu Division had left the palace, so the emperor relented and asked Li Buqi to receive all these materials. Now it seems that Li Buqi was prescient.

Li Buqi is now a good person and said: "We can only listen to the decision of the official family. But there are still several shares here, and this loss cannot be eaten by everyone in vain. Go back and figure out how many of these things are available, and how much you have lost, and there must be a number. Once you have figured out the number, there will be no business for you. ”

At this time, the receivers led by Xu Zhong breathed a sigh of relief and agreed repeatedly.

Li Buqi pointed to the ledger with his finger again and said, "Don't keep this account in the future." Go back and let Mao Xiaoyi from the winery teach you a new bookkeeping method, and you will use that bookkeeping method here in the future. ”

The materials were put down in advance, and then I looked at the account book, and there were already twenty-three stallions, which were raised by the shepherds left by the supervisor of Chunze. In addition, Chunze Jian left one hundred and twenty-seven herdsmen, plus a command box army that was transferred later, which was basically all the personnel of the royal test ground.

Li Buqi asked Xu Zhong after letting the stewards and accounts except Xu Zhong step down: "What do you think of Yao's instructions?" ”
