Northwest military government, since the rise of the Xia Dynasty decades ago, 100,000 troops to the south, after several wars, here has become the stability of the Chinese Dynasty in the northwest military important place, and then in order to pacify the Tianhu rebellion, here continues to expand and consolidate, to this year has been built a military area within a radius of hundreds of miles, and then gathered the people, but to avoid a lot of displacement, the place in the south of the military government, is now the northwest general's mansion.

Li He has only been officially settled in for more than a month, and with the concentration of military and political power, he has been busy for a while, and he has just sorted out his clues, and at this time, he is also tired, and he is sitting in the study.

"General." Outside the room is Li He's staff Wang Gan, who is already a handful of years old, and this time he came to this northwest place, he decided to stay here for a long time, and when he saw that there was no movement inside, he pushed the door and entered, and saw Li He squinting his eyes and leaning on the bench behind the bookcase.

"Coming? Have you counted all the grain and grass? Li He opened his eyes in the chair, rubbed his temples, and barely lifted his spirits.

"There are results just now, plus the allocation and the third young master's shipment, now it is only a little more than sixty percent, if there is no war, it is enough to deal with it." Wang Gan has been responsible for the raising and counting of grain and grass since he came to the northwest, and although the imperial court has allocated the grain and grass of the northwest garrison over the years, it has been peeled layer by layer, and the most that has reached the military government is only forty percent, and the rest need to be raised by the station, and in the past, there are also the payment of the surrounding peasant households, as well as the purchase of the Li family, but now the price of grain is soaring, and the peasant households are naturally unable to pay for the military rations.

"Thanks to the Third Young Master, we can have the current situation." Wang Qian also didn't expect that the young man he picked up from Yecheng would be able to do this.

Li He took the accounts from Wang Gan's hands, and after a brief look at a few of them, his face was a little better, "We have to step up, Tian Hu has lost food there, so naturally he will not live in peace, and he needs to prepare early." By the way, what has that kid been up to lately? ”

Wang Gan was embarrassed, "A few days ago, he took a few storytellers to tell stories in the barracks, but there were some chivalrous stories of loyalty and courage, and the sergeants liked it very much. ”

Li He frowned slightly, and finally could only sigh, although Li Huai is his son, but the other party also has the identity of an internal guard, he can't control it too much, besides, what he has done in the past few days has stabilized the morale of the army, and no one in the military government dares to criticize, "Uncle Wang, you can watch him more when you have time." ”

"Hey, don't worry, general." Wang Qian smiled helplessly, this concubine now has some fame in the military government, compared to the desperate scholar he preached, people are more willing to call him 'Third Young Master'

In the military government for several years, there have been a lot of people who have gathered, some of them farm, some do some trading, and some rely on their craftsmanship or ironwork or carpenters, all in order to be able to live, after Li Huai came here, he let Hong Ji open a façade in the military government, selling no longer perfume in Beijing, rouge, etc., but some salt, farm tools, seeds and some daily necessities, the price is cheap, but it quickly opened up sales in the military government, plus the identity of Li Huai's third young master, everything went well, After that, it was the establishment of a private school, but it was not an education based on the premise of merit, in addition to basic literacy, it was some of Professor Li Huai's theories, no tuition was charged, and most of the children who came were from Hong Kee's family. The school building was built only three or four miles away from the general's mansion, with two courtyards, teaching outside, and Li Huai handling things inside.

Li Huai only taught one morning in the private school, and it was impossible for children from poor families to simply study, so they naturally had to make a living, and of course they still had to work in a few shops in Hong Ji.

This morning is teaching the three-character scripture, several children learn seriously, Li Huai let them read a paragraph, and then began to tell the story, or Nezha's mind, or make a big fuss in the heavenly palace, it is naturally not heard outside, the children are also happy to listen, to noon, a few children are reluctant to leave, Li Huai sat at the table, and they said goodbye one by one.

"Sir, this Jade Emperor can also be beaten?" A girl looked at Li Huai, her face was full of doubts, she was originally a scholarly family, after her father died, her mother took her to flee and followed a carpenter, but she still remembered what her biological father taught back then, the majesty of the king, the lord of the world.

"Monkeys are very capable." Li Huai smiled, "If someone bullies Yan Niang, won't Yan Niang beat him?" ”

"But that's the Jade Emperor?" The child frowned, but Li Huai smiled, "Yan Niang doesn't want to think about it first, I'll write you a poem, okay?" ”

Li Huai knew that this child named Yan Niang liked poetry the most, so he wanted to divert the topic from this, wrote a poem on the paper, and handed it to her, Yan Niang immediately smiled and went home happily.

"Childe writes poems to girls casually!" Outside the door, Yue'er poked her head in with a smile, but Li Huai smiled helplessly, and under the noon sun, the two of them went back to the backyard from the front yard while talking and laughing.

"Can you do your homework?" When Li Huai is free, he will also let Yue'er read and read, Yue'er is also interested, martial arts are for protection, and reading is for her to keep up with Li Huai's footsteps.

Yue'er pouted, "The Three Character Sutra has long been known, don't always worry about other people's homework, I'm very attentive, Brother Chaonian, and say that I'm smart, that Zhuhu is not as good as me." ”

Before Li Huai and them arrived at the military mansion, Li Chaonian, Zhu Hu and others had already arrived one after another, bringing a lot of materials from Dulonggang, and some things that Li Huai asked them to make, not only gunpowder, but also some weapons, which were all forged by Li Huai in the deep mountains, which were sharper than the existing weapons of the Hua Dynasty, of course, this did not let too many people know, and Li He only knew that there was such a group of Li family's private army.

"Zhu Hu, you have to watch, does he want to compete with Yang Zhi recently? If you just want to practice martial arts, you can clean him up! ”

"Good! I'll beat him! Yue'er and Li Huai laughed happily, but they heard that in the living room not far away, someone had already begun to refute, "I let her, and Childe is too underestimated of me." "It is Zhu Hu who speaks, since following Li Huai, he has met a lot of people with strong martial arts, and he has asked for advice, and he has naturally grown in martial arts, and with the growth of height, the weapons used have also changed from swords to spears, and recently he has followed Li Chaonian and others to practice kung fu immediately, which is particularly brave.

"Yo, it's itchy skin, come on!" Yue'er smiled, her body moved, and she arrived in front of Zhu Hu, the two of them made a move, but it attracted many onlookers, Li Huai was also watching, everyone in the backyard was Li Huai's henchmen, and everyone was a family on weekdays.

"Oops! It hurts, Sister Yue'er, let go! Zhu Hu's voice begging for mercy suddenly attracted a burst of laughter, Yue'er is Liang Zhaodi's disciple, and she has practiced her body and skill, and she has the upper hand against Zhu Hu, who is so fierce, and grabbed the other party's ears in a few clicks.

"Alright, alright, let's eat." Li Huai said that he had entered the living room, beckoned everyone to eat, it was still the same style, everyone gathered around to eat, Yue'er was still sitting next to Li Huai, serving dishes for him, Zhu Hu lost face, sat on the side of the door angrily, and did not respond to other people's teasing.

"Childe, Pang Qiuxia has already asked people to send all the silver over, do we want to deliver it?" Li Chaonian said while eating, Li Huai nodded, "Send it, but don't send it all over, send half of it first, and then see the situation in a few days." ”

"By the way, Childe, just now there is news from Jinzhou, Wuzhou and other places, they have begun to hedge, and there are still five or six days at most, and the price of grain should fall." Li Chaonian's words suddenly shocked several people at the table, and then everyone's faces showed smiles.

"Well, let them pay more attention, at the beginning, the other party will definitely sweep the goods, let them eat, and use the necessary means, and several other state capitals will also start, and when there is news from the south, they should know about the trouble." Li Huai was talking while eating, Yue'er beside him was full of smiles, and Zhu Hu, who was originally angry, was also happy at the moment.

In the last few days of April, the price of grain in China finally reached its peak......
