After drinking and eating, the lively Qin Wangfu gradually calmed down. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Although the horsemen gathered outside the palace and the fire dragon flowed, it was quiet inside the wall.

In a secret room in the palace, six people gathered, namely Yang Yan, Changshi Liu Jianzhi, Sima Yu Shinan, Xue Yuanjing, who was engaged in Zhongyun, Li Keshi, who consulted and joined the army, and Cai Yungong, who was a member of Peng's subordinates.

Clearing his throat, Yang Yan opened his mouth and said, "Presumably you already know that I have received His Majesty's holy decree to recruit two thousand soldiers. Tell me what you think. ”

Of the people present, except for Yu Shinan, who was silent, the others expressed their opinions in a confused manner.

Some asked Yang Yan to keep a low profile and recruit seven or eight hundred people at will, so as not to arouse Yang Guang's suspicion. There are also some who let Yang Yan make a big move to improve the protection ability of the Qin Palace, especially mentioning the shocking moment this afternoon, reminding Yang Yan that the current palace guards are not credible. Some asked Yang Yan to do what he wanted and take the opportunity to train a strong army.

"Lao Yu, why don't you say a word?" In the end, Yang Yan set his eyes on Yu Shinan. Regarding this celebrity, who became famous in later generations, Yang Yan still wanted to know his opinion on this matter.

I saw that Yu Shinan smiled slightly, and arched his hand and said: "Your Highness has already made up your mind on this matter, and there is no way to change Your Highness's mind. His Royal Highness's question is nothing more than the examination of the school. ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but glance at Yu Shinan more. Previously, they were not very convinced by Yu Shinan, thinking that it was because of his brother Yu Shiji that he could have his current status, and he didn't care about the affairs of the palace, and he didn't have any prestige in the hearts of everyone. But what they said just now has changed.

It turns out that I am so far from this one. They have all followed Yang Yan for several years, and they also know his character very well, and indeed as Yu Shinan said, when Yang Yan repeatedly talked to them for discussions, he had already made a decision. Let them comment, just to fill in the gaps.

"Lao Yu still understands me." Yang Yan smiled slightly, said very appreciatively, then stood up, and said in a loud voice: "Everyone listens to the order, from tomorrow onwards, you will each lead a group of subordinate officials and five hundred servants of the royal palace to go to the counties of Henan, Hebei, and Hedong to recruit 'Qin Hu' guards, and search all the large and small counties in these three places for me, and take the top ten among the thousands of people who have signed up to join the army, and you will be limited to complete this matter within forty days." For the specific details, I have already written the paperwork, and you can take it to take a good look. ”

As he spoke, Yang Yan took out a few pieces of paper from his arms and handed them to them one by one.

"Your Royal Highness, the moon is consistent, three stones of grain and one piece of cloth, this is too much, now the treasury is empty......" Liu Jianzhi, who was in charge of the finances of Yanwang's Mansion, saw the words on it, and his face became a bitter gourd. Even if the treatment of the guards of the left and right Reserve Mansion is not as good as Yang Yankai's conditions, His Royal Highness is too bad at being in charge.

"It's okay, isn't there a long queue outside the palace to give us gifts right now, and you can't afford to raise two thousand guards? Don't say 2,000, it's not a problem to raise 20,000. Yang Yan knows that it is not easy to be in charge, and he also understands his uncle's speech very well.

Hearing Yang Yan say this, Liu Jianzhi was overjoyed all of a sudden, and couldn't help rubbing his hands, as if he was thinking about something in his heart, his smile became thicker and thicker, and a pair of eyes that were not big instantly became a gap.

"Your Highness, what is the saying that this is more than rushing for a long time and standing for a long time, if it is only compared to strength, you can choose elite people." Li Keshi's focus was different from Liu Jianzhi's, and he raised his own questions.

"I ask you, what would happen if you were defeated?" Yang Yan smiled at Li Keshi and gave him an encouraging look, he hoped that everyone under him would be ashamed to ask.

"Of course, it is to withdraw the army, collect the rout, and you can't surrender to the enemy." Li Keshi was a little embarrassed and scratched his nose.

"So the most important thing is to be able to run, if you can't beat it, you can run, I don't want my soldiers to die in vain. As for standing for a long time, it is a test of one's endurance and willpower. For the specific way of the school examination, I will send someone to assist you. "Yang Yan has trained a group of instructors for later generations, although most of them are helping Yang Yan train those orphans in Zhangye, but there is still a team of fifty people in the palace, which is enough for this recruitment.

"Your Highness is benevolent, and the guest master will definitely recruit the best warriors for Your Highness." Li Keshi is in the army, and he has a natural sense of closeness to the soldiers, and he is most afraid that Yang Yan will not spare the lives of the soldiers. Hearing Yang Yan say this, he couldn't help but get excited.

"How's that, do you have any doubts?" This is a matter related to his own life, and Yang Yan has to pay attention to it.

Cai Yun stood up in response, and arched his hand and said: "Your Highness, the conditions are so favorable, the recruitment age is set at between sixteen and twenty underage men, and the total number of places is more than five thousand, which is not in line with Your Majesty's will." ”

Cai Yungong's words were implying that Yang Yan had violated the holy decree, because the soldiers of the Great Sui Dynasty recruited adult men over the age of twenty-one, and Yang Guang only gave two thousand places. If he violates it, Yang Yan is afraid that he will be punished.

"There is no right to act cheaply in the holy decree, and the soldiers of various places have followed His Majesty's eastward expedition to Goguryeo, so how can there be any extra adult warriors left for us to recruit. Moreover, the Wangzhuang of our palace has been vacant, and the extra people can be accepted as tenants. As he spoke, Yang Yan winked at Cai Yungong.

"Your Highness's move is very good, but the thousands of hectares of good land in Wangzhuang have been deserted, it should have been like this a long time ago, it should have been like this a long time ago." Hearing Wang Zhuang, Liu Jian's eyes lit up.

"I'll second." Everyone knows about the situation in the palace, and they naturally support things that can increase the income of the palace.

So, this decision was formalized.

"You all go and prepare, Lao Yu stays." Yang Yan picked up an orange and left Yu Shinan behind.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Yu Shinan took the orange handed over by Yang Yan and knew why Yang Yan kept him.

"Tell me, what is there to fill in in my method of recruitment?" Yang Yan was not in a hurry, he believed that Yu Shinan had done a good job in that matter.

"Your Highness's move is wonderful, and you have played the banner of 'Qin Hu' to the three places, and if you are in a hurry in the future, you can quickly recruit a large number of young people." Yu Shinan knew that since three years ago, he had embarked on a dangerous road with no turning back with Yang Yan. Now that the layout has been completed, it is time to follow the trend and push Yang Yan step by step to the position of the East Palace.

If he succeeds, he will be able to pay homage to the prime minister. If it fails, the good head will be castled.

It seems that it is smoother than I expected.

Yu Shinan thought while stuffing oranges into his mouth.

Yesterday, when he received the information, he decided to do it, so he stood at the door early this morning and blocked the people from the Yan Wang's Mansion to pick up the car. This is a signal to Yang Yan: I'm going to do it.
