On the fourth day after Xiaoliu and the others left, Liu Hao was announced into the palace by Li Longji.

Li Longji seems to be in good spirits, and now that Jinyang has been pacified, there are more than 50,000 more prisoners for no reason. The construction of Xinxiang City will definitely be in full swing. And now Li Yi has not proposed to return to Luoyang, which makes Li Longji very pleased. At the critical time, it is still reliable for your own family. When he left Luoyang, Li Longji agreed to Li Yi, and let Li Yi return to Luoyang after the Jinyang affair was over, but the plan could not catch up with the changes, and no one expected that Jinyang would capture more than 50,000 prisoners. At such a juncture, instead of complaining, Li Yi took the initiative to ask Ying to rush to Xinxiang with the army.

Tens of thousands of city defense troops in Luoyang City were mobilized, and everyone received a strange notice, that is, to transport supplies in the direction of Xinxiang City as much as possible. Li Longji claimed to the outside world that it was for Liu Hao to build Xinxiang City and increase a tax place, but anyone with a discerning eye knew that there was definitely a big move in Xinxiang City. However, Li Longji did not let anyone interfere in this matter, even if some families and courtiers smelled the unusual smell, but there was no evidence, let alone a chance to investigate. They can't help it if they're in a hurry.

Now that all the roads in Luoyang City have been repaired, Li Longji did not let these prisoners disband, but waved his hand and asked them to repair all the roads from Luoyang to Jinyang and from Luoyang to Xinxiang. After experiencing the benefits of cement roads, Li Longji's heart is no longer limited to building one city and one place, he is thinking about how to build cement roads to every corner of Datang. Especially in the northern border passes and other places, if this kind of cement road is built, if nothing else, at least the troops will be dispatched much more quickly in the future.

Now Li Longji just wants to know how the cement workshop in Liu Hao's hands can continue to expand. It is best to build one or several buildings in the entire Datang area for local construction. Li Longji feels that as long as the cement workshop does not delay time, Datang will definitely change its appearance in five years. Sometimes the higher-ups think about the problem very simply, but the implementers can't be so imaginative. For example, now, Liu Hao does not agree with Li Longji's way of making a great leap forward.

Liu Hao arched his hand and said to Li Longji: "Your Majesty, don't be so aggressive, you can't rush work like the renovation of the new city now." At least not yet. This kind of thing needs to be planned slowly, first built around Luoyang, and then promoted nationwide when the time is ripe. If there is a problem with these concrete roads, it will not cause the entire imperial court to collapse. ”

Li Longji was a little unhappy when he heard this: "Then come to you, when will I do this?" I need a reason! ”

Liu Hao smiled and said: "Your Majesty, have you ever thought that if cement construction is vigorously promoted now, in case the governor or military governor of a certain place is hot-headed for a while, he will rise up. What should we do when we are faced with the concrete walls? Now that the military power of the whole country is not all in the hands of His Majesty, I think it is better to wait. At least until the graduates of the military schools are flooded with various armies. In this way, even if some towns are disobedient, His Majesty can deal with it calmly. ”

Li Longji listened to it and said disdainfully: "I am a general of the Tang Dynasty, and I am a loyal person, how can anyone have a heart of disobedience?" Zhicai, are you too worried? And if this word spreads, it will definitely make many people dissatisfied with you. Do you really think it's not the time to implement cement across the country? ”

Liu Zhicai nodded: "At least a year to test the quality of Luoyang's cement roads, right?" In case the roads are all frozen and cracked in winter, then it is better not to promote cement roads nationwide. No one likes roads that need to be repaired once a year. And the price is too high, although my Datang has been in good weather over the years and has accumulated a lot of family funds, but I can't withstand such a toss. ”

When Li Longji heard this, he waved his hand at Liu Hao and said, "Okay, I'll talk to someone about this later." Let's talk about recruiting at the military academy. Li Yi sent news that he would lead a large army from Jinyang to Xinxiang. Of course, this is estimated to take more than a month. Li Yi wants you to recruit another batch of soldiers during this time, and take them to Xinxiang for surprise training. When I arrived in Xinxiang, I was guarding the construction of the captives and training at the same time. ”

Liu Hao's mouth suddenly opened wide when he heard this, why didn't this Li Yi follow the script? Let this young man do such a big thing, he can think of it. Moreover, there are so many relatives of the Luoyang Emperor, when the time comes, they want to leave the relationship, can they stop it by themselves? Originally, he didn't go to Jinyang, Liu Hao felt that he could relax for a while. As a result, this old man actually gave himself such a difficult question.

Li Longji felt very happy when he saw Liu Hao's bitter face. This is the first time Li Longji has seen Liu Hao deflated. He smiled and said to Liu Hao: "Li Yi has already sent more than a thousand cavalry led by Gao Shi to help you, and this time I plan to recruit three or four thousand people first." After the training came out, Li Yi and the others also arrived in Xinxiang. When the time comes, just train another batch. This year, the military academy must be expanded to more than 10,000. Lay the foundation for the future. ”

Liu Hao took a long breath after listening to Li Longji's words: "Since Gao Shi is back, I am relieved." But say it in advance, what if those royal relatives want to go to the relationship? I won't be able to stop this when the time comes. And according to my recruitment requirements, it is estimated that I will offend many people. How about your majesty do you want someone else to preside over this matter? I can do it. ”

Li Longji shook his head: "The military academy has a great deal to do, and it can't be faked to others. This matter can only be relieved if you come to do it. As for those who trust the relationship, I can give you something, and whoever wants to find a relationship when the time comes, just let him see that thing. If there are still people who are messing around, you can solve it in your own way. I will not hold you accountable. ”

Liu Hao was immediately stunned when he heard this: "Your Majesty is going to give me something good?" ”

Li Longji said to Gao Lishi, who had been pretending to be a transparent person on the side: "Give Liu Hao Shangfang a sword, no matter who it is, as long as he does not pass the assessment of Zhicai and entrusts the person who wants to enter the military academy, this sword can kill him." I really want to see if the people of the clan and the royal family can still grow brains. I'm going to be speculating all day long, and this time I'm going to kill a few of them to keep them all on the alert. ”

Liu Hao couldn't say a word with his mouth open. This time, he finally knew how pitiful Li Longji was. said that he gave him Shang Fang's sword, but when the time came, it was himself who killed people, and in the final analysis, it was themselves who held a grudge, not Li Longji himself. Li Longji did this, obviously distrusting Liu Hao, and wanted Liu Hao to offend a group of people, and then reduce his reputation among the people.

Although he figured it out, Liu Hao was still unhappy. He sighed and said to Li Longji: "Since Your Majesty insists on this, then I have no choice but to drive the ducks to the shelves." I can't guarantee how many soldiers I can recruit, but those who can enter the military academy will definitely not be mediocre people. I will recruit people according to the strictest standards. I've always felt that no matter what I do, I can't do anything. What I believe in is that there is more to lack than to excess! ”

Li Longji smiled and said, "I like you a little bit." Whatever you need me to do, just speak, I will definitely support you this time! Whether you recruit people from the army or from the people, it's up to you. I'm at your command this time. ”

Liu Hao pouted, do all the leaders like to shake their hands like this, and don't care about anything. said that he listened to himself for everything, and it was estimated that Li Longji would be furious whenever he made any radical demands. For example, let him dance a striptease or something, Li Longji is strange if he doesn't smoke himself to death.

Leaving the palace, Liu Hao was still sullen, he really couldn't be happy. I wanted to be lazy, but the hardest bone to gnaw was actually lost to myself. Although someone from Gao Shi came to help, Liu Hao knew in his heart that this matter was still on his shoulders in the end. Gao Shi's current level is still too low, and he can only help himself deal with the internal affairs of the military school, out of the military school, who knows who Gao Shi is?

Liu Hao returned home and told his family about Li Longji's decision today. He was very distressed now, and he thought that he could take the opportunity to go to Xinxiang for a few days and wander around for a while. Baguio looked at this matter very lightly: "Lang Jun don't worry, although this matter seems to be difficult, but Lang Jun has not forgotten that you once said that you would hold a martial arts conference, why don't you start it now, and take the opportunity to choose some people to enter the military academy." ”

Liu Hao shook his head: "Your Majesty's request for this matter is to recruit a group of people as soon as possible, and then send them to Xinxiang after surprise training." Holding a martial arts conference requires at least a month of preparation. It's too late now. When Gao Shi comes back, we will discuss it in detail. Let's see if Gao Shi likes veterans from other armies, or likes to bring those recruits from the people. ”

Aunt Gongsun was stunned when she heard this: "Of course it's a veteran, and the new recruit has to start from scratch, who likes this?" ”

Baguio smiled and said, "Sister Gongsun doesn't know, many veterans are already very slippery in the army, and it is difficult to reverse the behavior of that old oilman in a short period of time." On the other hand, the recruits are very curious about the military academy and have never had experience in military life. As long as you can endure the training, it is definitely better than those veterans. ”

Liu Hao nodded and said: "You're right, now many troops are loosely managed, and there is no systematic training at all, those of them are lazy, and it is really not a simple matter to turn it around for a while." But what to do, I think Gao Shi has already planned. When he comes, we'll add it up, and I think there shouldn't be any problem.|"

At this time, Baguio suddenly said: "The royal brother of the slave family is really not at ease with Lang Jun, and throwing such an offending thing to Lang Jun alone, this is definitely intentional." After this recruitment, I thought that Lang Jun would offend many people, especially the family and courtiers. They will definitely find a way to sneak into the military academy in the hope that they will get an official and a half-post in the future. ”
