On the school ground, ・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・the soldiers of the first battalion of the Datong Army were lined up in a neat square formation to practice combat movements, and the first battalion commander Duan Zhihai and deputy commander Guo Ziyi accompanied Zhao Ziliang and the accompanying generals and officials of the left wing army and horses to watch the drill.

Zhao Ziliang looked at it for a while, nodded and said, "It's a bit of a look!" ”

These words made Duan Zhihai, the commander of the first battalion, secretly relieved in his heart, he was afraid that Zhao Ziliang would not be satisfied, and ordered him to be dragged down to beat the officer, last time he and the second and third battalion captains were beaten with military sticks, until now it has been more than a month and has not been completely good, for more than a month, the reorganization and training matters are carried out by the captains of the following regiments, Guo Ziyi came while learning to lead the troops, while helping him to train the soldiers and horses, and he also has a good impression of this deputy lieutenant who is about the same age as him, Teach all the experience of leading troops.

Zhao Ziliang looked at it for a while and said: "It's not bad if you can't enter this level in a month, a few of you still work hard, if the other six battalions have such progress, they will definitely be able to meet the requirements of the general within half a year!" ”

In fact, with Zhao Ziliang's real requirements in his heart, the level of the soldiers of the first battalion is far from qualified, but this army was not formed by him personally, so some inherent things are difficult to change once they are formed, such as the military soul, the military soul is instilled into the army by the first commander of an army, and it is difficult for the latecomers to change, unless everything is broken and restarted, but this is impossible, Tian Renwan will not allow it, and the court will definitely not agree.

Marching Sima Xue Qianxun said: "With the general's strict requirements, as long as the other battalions strictly follow the content of the drill and the regulations, they should be able to reach the level of the first battalion!" ”

"Let's hope so!" Zhao Ziliang said, looked at Guo Ziyi and asked, "Guo Ziyi, you have been in the first camp for more than ten days, how do you feel?" ”

Guo Ziyi bowed down and said: "General Qiyu, after the end comes, the battalion master Duan takes care of the last general very much, and teaches the last general a lot of experience in leading troops and the problems to pay attention to, the last general has benefited a lot, and the soldiers are still more recognized by the last general, and the last general found that the soldiers are very serious in training and willing to endure hardships these days!" ”

"Oh?" Zhao Ziliang smiled and asked, "How did you find out that the soldiers were willing to endure hardships?" ”

Guo Ziyi said: "Many soldiers do not disperse after the end of the exercise, and continue to practice, and some even practice until dark, and continue to practice after dinner!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said with a smile: "If you judge from this alone that the soldiers are very able to endure hardships and are willing to work hard, then you are wrong!" The reason why they practice more is because they will be punished if they do not meet the requirements within the specified time, and as for the punishment, either they have no food, or confinement, or fines, in order to avoid punishment, of course, they have to practice until the instructor is satisfied within the specified time! You must know that soldiers are also human beings, they are no different from ordinary people, as long as they are human beings, they have inertia, some people have strong self-discipline and can overcome themselves, and some people have poor self-discipline and cannot overcome themselves, and these people with poor self-discipline as soldiers need military discipline and commanders to restrain and supervise them! An army cannot be called an army without strict military discipline and discipline, but a rabble! ”

Guo Ziyi benefited a lot from hearing this, bowed down and bowed and said, "The last general has been taught!" ”

After inspecting the drill progress of the first battalion, Zhao Ziliang went to the other six battalions to inspect and inspect one after another, and the drill progress of the other six battalions was almost the same as that of the first battalion, which was a place where Zhao Ziliang was more satisfied. And the soldiers are more stringent.

After spending a few days inspecting the seven battalions, Zhao Ziliang instructed Qiu Zhen to send people to recruit soldiers from all over Hedong on the way back to Yunzhou, preparing to use them as reserves, and the number of recruits was about 5,000 people. However, Zhao Ziliang instructed Qiu Zhen to borrow a sum of money from Qianzhuang for the upfront expenses of recruiting soldiers, and then return it to Qianzhuang with interest when the Wang family's money was delivered.

Although many accompanying officials and generals thought that there was no need to pay such an interest as Qianzhuang, they also knew that the sooner they replenished the number of troops, the safer it would be! This kind of thing can't be hidden for too long, if someone sues the court or the emperor, then the person who eats the empty amount will become Zhao Ziliang, this matter is not a joke.

As soon as they returned to the left wing of the military and horse envoy's mansion, Zhao Ziliang and others saw a large number of carriages parked at the entrance of the palace, and the carriages were loaded with many large wooden boxes, all of which were sealed, and a large number of soldiers were standing guard around them.

Zhao Ziliang looked at these carriages, jumped off the Wuli horse, and Brehan walked quickly from the door and arched his hand: "General, Wang Zhaolun is here, just drink tea in the hall of the mansion, these carriages are all brought by him!" ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded, strode into the mansion, and when he walked into the lobby, he saw Wang Zhaolun drinking tea, "Oh, Lord Wang is here, I will go to the army to inspect it, I don't know if Lord Wang will come today, I am sorry, sorry!" ”

Wang Zhaolun hurriedly stood up and arched his hand: "General Zhao is too polite, the general is busy with military affairs, and he can take time to meet Wang, Wang is already grateful!" If there is anything to disturb, please also ask General Haihan! ”

"Haha, it's easy to say, it's easy to say!" Zhao Ziliang snorted, thinking that this Wang Zhaolun had put his posture so low, he was afraid that it would be the first time, and said, "Lord Wang, please take a seat!" ”

"General, please!"

After the two sat down, Wang Zhaolun stopped drinking tea and went straight to the topic: "General, I guess you have seen it when you first entered the door, according to the general's requirements, Wang has brought all the land deeds and 800,000 guan of the people of Sanzhou under the general's jurisdiction, because there are too many copper coins of 800,000 guan, so Wang Mou took the initiative to convert most of the copper coins into gold and silver, I hope it will not cause trouble to the general!" ”

"Haha, no, no, the general also knows that the amount of 800,000 copper coins is too large, and there are too many vehicles needed, so it's good to exchange most of them for gold and silver, so General Ben will send someone to hand over to Lord Wang's people!"

Wang Zhaolun hurriedly said: "Okay! ”

Zhao Ziliang was about to send someone to call the judge Zheng Shiye to handle the handover, when Brehan walked in quickly and reported with a happy face: "General, Zheng San has come from Hexi, and he is now outside the door!" ”

Zhao Ziliang was overjoyed when he heard this, "Huh? Then let him in, what else do you want to report? ”

Zheng San quickly followed Brehan in, he saw Zhao Ziliang and another official in the lobby, and walked directly over to salute Zhao Ziliang and said, "Zheng San see the general!" ”

Zhao Ziliang got up and walked down the lobby and said with a smile: "I'm looking forward to you coming!" Went well along the way, right? Are all the family here? ”

Zheng San said with a smile: "The road is going well, the family is here, just waiting outside the mansion!" ”

Zhao Ziliang immediately said to Brehan: "You immediately go and arrange a house for Zheng San's family, and you must make arrangements for the security of the guard!" ”

"No!" Brehan said yes and turned away.

Zheng San bowed his hand to Zhao Ziliang and said, "Thank you, general!" ”

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said: "Since you have arrived, take office immediately, I will appoint you as the judge of the Left Wing Soldiers and Horses Embassy, and you will be responsible for all logistics and baggage matters such as Yingtian Jiaji, Tuntian, Fanku, ordnance, grain and grass!" Later, General Ben will ask the recorder to join the army, send you the appointment official document, and let the judge Zheng Shi also hand over to you! ”

Zheng San saluted and said: "Zheng San receives the order!" ”

Zhao Ziliang pointed at Wang Zhaolun again and said: "There are the three-state land deeds and 800,000 yuan of Yunzhou, Shuozhou, and Ulzhou brought by Lord Wang outside the door, you can start handling official business now, hand over to Lord Wang, and report to me after the handover is completed!" ”

"No!"

The delivery of the land deed and the silver money went quite smoothly, but it took a bad time, after all, the amount of silver was too large, and there were too many acres of land in the Sanzhou land deed, and they had to be checked one by one, and two days had passed after all the delivery was completed.

That night, Zheng San took the account book and saw Zhao Ziliang, "Brother Liang, the delivery is all completed, there is no problem with the amount of gold and silver, although the exchange ratio of gold and silver and copper coins on the market is somewhat fluctuating, but the fluctuation is not large, and it can be ignored." In terms of the amount of land deeds, I can't see the problem, I have checked in detail, there is no problem, in addition, I have sent people to various places to verify the specific location of the acres, there should be a response in the next two days, this is the specific number of acres added up by all the land deeds! ”

Zhao Ziliang took the account book and looked through it, and couldn't help sneering after reading it: "Hehe, a Taiyuan royal family has embezzled and annexed 830,000 acres of land in my three states, which is shocking!" This is just the Taiyuan royal family, so what about the other families? It's chilling to think about, these families are leeches attached to the people to suck blood, and they are moths of the Tang Dynasty! ”

Zheng San said: "The younger brother has already inquired, the main foundation of the Taiyuan Wang family is in the area east of the river, most of them are in the land of the three states, the Wang family will not allow other families to put their hands here, and now they have taken out so many fields that have been embezzled and annexed at one time, the Wang family is only afraid that it will also hurt the vitality, most of the acres of land in the three states should be in our hands, how do the generals plan to deal with these fields?" ”

Zhao Ziliang got up and said: "Of course, it is returned to the people, the Taiyuan royal family will return these fields that have been embezzled and annexed by whomever they have, but people have inferior roots, and the things that are easy to get will not be cherished, and the fields can be returned to the people, but it will take two years before the land deed can be handed over to them, and in the middle of these two years, they must hand over two percent of the harvest every year, if anyone plants the field barren in these two years, the land deed will be sold to other farmers after two years!" ”

Zheng San nodded and said: "I understand, the younger brother is going to do this, and the spring plowing will start soon, and the younger brother will use the official channels to pass on the news as soon as possible, and contact the officials in various parts of the three states, so that the people can bring the fields back to cultivate!"
