Chapter 235: The Times Are Calling
It is similar to the Juntian system, which can be said to be one of the national policies of the Tang Dynasty at this time, and it is also implemented very well, and people are proud to be soldiers and fight.
In addition, when the government soldiers go out to fight, they can also bring real benefits, at least they can be exempted from taxes and conscription, and if they have made meritorious deeds, there are various rewards such as land, and people are of course full of yearning for this.
And at this time, it can be said that you can't be a soldier if you want to, you have to have a certain net worth to have this qualification, so that you can afford the consumption of armor and war horses.
And the sons and daughters of the nobles all grew up listening to the battle stories of the older generation, and most of them also have a strong longing for the battlefield. Once you hear the rumors of a big war, you can't compete for this opportunity to make a contribution.
Therefore, Lin Sen was able to easily get this opportunity, which in itself really has to be doubtful.
"Could it be the family again?" Lin Sen's real enemies now are actually those people from the sub-family.
Wang Junkuo has been killed, and it seems that no one has come forward to avenge Wang Junkuo at present, so it can be seen that his own arrangement was still very successful, so when there was a bad guess, Lin Sen immediately suspected that they were in the group.
Who made them all good hands of the Yin people, in Lin Sen's mind, they would always be associated with words like dark arrows hurting people, and it was really difficult to have any good evaluation of them.
In the past, bandits and killers could be dispatched, and if you find an opportunity to put a cold arrow in your back, of course, you can do it.
"It's most likely them, but it's also possible that Imakami is deliberately taking this opportunity to nurture you. In any case, there is nothing wrong with being careful.
Once someone releases a cold arrow, you don't have to be polite, you can kill the other party directly on the battlefield, such a person is hated the most by everyone, and others can only see him if he is killed, so he can do it with confidence.
I'm afraid that there is more than one other party, and there are other means...... So tell your guards to be on the lookout too. Cheng Yanjin comforted Lin Sen twice, but still advised.
"Understood." Lin Sen nodded heavily. At the same time, I also thought in my heart that if I really encountered a cold arrow at that time, I must give the family a little color when I come back, and I will not be rude.
At the same time, in the palace, Li Shimin was also contemplating Shuo Fang on the map.
"I want to see how long these people's hands are, they have quietly infiltrated the army, what do these people want to do?" Li Shimin said hatefully.
"Just by the way, I also honed the wooden boy, and look at how blessed this lucky general of mine is, even the people in the Zongsheng Palace have good things to say for him.
I hope I don't let me down. Li Shimin touched his beard and said again with interest, the blessing in this sentence naturally refers to Lin Sen.
After sending the New Year, Lin Sen began to prepare all kinds of things for the battle, in fact, he had always been prepared before, and many things that could be used have been accumulating on weekdays, but he would not be blind.
It's just that the closer he gets to the day of going to the battlefield, the more obvious his excitement and nervousness will become, and he always has to find something for himself to do to distract himself.
The dealers don't have such complicated emotions, although they are a little worried about Lin Sen, the owner, after all, it is this one who has brought them the current good life, and it is difficult to say if they really have a future with three long and two short, but they are more immersed in joy.
In the period after the winter, they have not made any less money, not only the income from those sprouts and mountain goods, but also the income from selling livestock here, so they are naturally very happy.
The pork sent out by Lin Sen has been unanimously praised, compared with those pigs that have not been castrated in the Tang Dynasty, these boars and sows castrated by Lin Zhuangzi have better growth, not to mention fat and strong, and more importantly, without that fishy taste, isn't it popular.
Especially after Duyiwei added one of Lin Sen's favorite dishes, braised pork, and the equally delicious Maggi pork slices.
These dishes, which were made with pork at the beginning, were first given one or two plates per table, and after the guests recognized the deliciousness of pork, they soon became popular dishes here, and the demand for Lin Zhuangzi's pork was naturally increasing day by day. The bankers who have benefited from it, of course, are also happy to smile.
Lin Sen also took the time to care about the situation in the coal mine, in fact, he talked about it when he went to his father-in-law's house to send the New Year, but it was definitely more intuitive not to see it with his own eyes.
The two kinds of stoves he made have basically become the standard in the homes of those noble and wealthy people in Chang'an City, and often there is more than one in the family.
Originally, there was the intention of promoting coal, and the price of this furnace was not very high, and it could be regarded as a small profit but quick turnover, and after successfully occupying the market of those at the top, it has now begun to extend downward.
There are many residents of Chang'an who are not particularly wealthy, and they have also begun to try to buy these stoves, and after feeling their convenience, more people will naturally become their fans.
With the hot sale of furnaces, the demand for coal has naturally further increased.
Probably after some private games, the Weibei coalfield is now Lin Sen's common asset.
In fact, the area that can be mined over there is too large, and it is really not something that can be eaten by one or two families, and the mining area currently developed is not very large, mainly because no more people have discovered the huge profits contained in it.
With the gradual development of the large market of Chang'an City, it is estimated that competitors will join in the future.
A behemoth like the family is likely to be mixed in, and it will have to fight with them properly in the future.
But that's all for later, so let's be prepared for the upcoming battle for now.
Under Lin Sen's eager anticipation, the matter of the war after the year was finally decided, and the target was Liang Shidu, who had always occupied Shuofang, the northern gateway.
The candidate for the unified army selected Lin Sen's top boss Chai Shao, who is the generalissimo of this expedition, and Xue Wanjun of the Xue family as a deputy general, Xue Wanche of course also went with him, counting as Xue Wanjun's deputy general, both of them are well-known fierce generals, and Chai Shao just complements each other.
At the same time, those who were selected to participate in this battle included some of the guards under the command of Chai Shao, as well as some of the elites of the twelve guards.
This naturally includes Lin Sen, and there is also a team of guards temporarily under his command, but not all of them are from the original team of Wei Chi Baolin, which can be regarded as a team.
packed up his bags, and with the carefully selected villagers, Lin Sen ran to say goodbye to Cheng Yanjin and them, and comforted Cheng Huaiyu, who was crying, with the complicated feelings of going to the battlefield for the first time, Lin Sen finally officially joined the army of the crusade against Liang Shidu.
The first real battle of his life awaits him!
