With the Turkic pure** and the craftsmen brought from the Turks, the scale of the horse farm continued to expand, but the number of child slaves seemed to be small. Li Tao has money, but it is impossible for him to come forward to buy child slaves every time, and he is not at ease when he hands them over to others, after all, these people are the team he will rely on in the future, which gives him a little headache.

Yuan Shi saw that his son was sad and distressed, so he asked the reason.

Li Tao also did not hide from his mother, Hua Jingjing, and Suo Na, and brought the troubles they encountered one by one.

Yuan and the others also knew that the matter was very important, and they wanted to help but couldn't do anything.

"Atao, I have an idea, I don't know if it's right!" Sana said timidly.

Yuan cheered for Suanna and said, "Suanna, let's talk about it, is it useful to let Tao'er take his own time!" ”

Hearing Yuan's words, Suona was much more confident, and she said boldly: "When I was herding sheep on the grassland, there were hundreds of them, and if every sheep were to be managed, wouldn't they be exhausted to death." There is a head in every flock, and all the other sheep listen to the head, so I only have to take care of the head, and the flock will all listen to me! ”

Li Tao already understood what Suanna meant, and couldn't help but cheer and say, "Suanna, your idea is so good!" ”

Li Tao stepped forward and said mysteriously to Suanna: "Come here with your ear, I'll whisper to you!" ”

Suona turned her head and didn't know what Li Tao was going to say, but when she saw Li Tao kissing Suona on the face, she turned around and ran out.

Suanna, who was caught off guard, was so embarrassed by Li Tao's sudden move that her face was flushed, and Hua Jingjing stomped her feet on the side and said: "Dead Atao, you know how to bully people!" ”

Yuan shouted towards the door, "Tao'er, where are you going?" ”

"Horse farm!" Li Tao's voice came from afar, and the person was gone.

"Ah Niang, you don't care about Ah Tao, he has become bad!" Hua Jingjing glanced outside the room, then turned her head to Yuan's words.

"Are you angry?" Yuan looked at Hua Jingjing strangely.

Hua Jingjing was silent.

Seeing this, Yuan's heart had already understood most of it, and she seemed to smile and said: "Jingjing, if A-Niang didn't guess wrong, you must have complained about Tao Er'er in your heart, I haven't seen him kiss him for so long with Tao'er, but who knows that today I kissed Suona ......"

"Ah Niang......" Before Yuan's words were finished, Hua Jingjing's face turned into a red apple, and she arched into Yuan's arms, refusing to show her head again.

……

"Think about the hardships you have endured before, and you will know what kind of people to go to!" Li Tao looked at the twenty-three child slaves in front of him and said loudly.

The child slaves looked at their little masters with adoration, and since they met them, they not only had enough to eat, but they also learned their skills, and most importantly, they felt like a human being. Because the little master gave them what others can't give, that is, dignity, the dignity of being a human being. Now it is no exaggeration to say that the little masters can give everything they have at any time as long as they need it.

"Our power is still too small, so I need more people like you. We are brothers, and I hope that the people you go to find can also become your brothers, and they are also my brothers Li Tao. As for what kind of people you are looking for, and how to find them, I will not ask, because I believe you. I said, this life of my Li Tao is in the hands of my brother, please! ”

As soon as Li Tao's words fell, the child slaves fell to the ground together: "I will live up to the master's trust!" ”

Li Tao nodded and said, "The people you have found are all arranged under their own hands, and it is up to you to decide how to teach them." In short, it is better to lack than to abuse, even if there are fewer people, everyone must be loyal and effective. Also, don't be reluctant to spend money, your little master may not have many other things, but the money is a lot! ”

……

In the early hours of the morning, on the official road to Changzi County, the two horses galloped away, leaving only a slip of dust behind them.

The eldest son county was already in sight, and the two horses slowed down. Under the slightly white sky, the hair dove mountain is as black as iron, solemn and solemn. The red sun is rising, the mist is rising, and the milky white veil separates the heavy mountains, leaving only the cyan peaks, which is really like a landscape painting with light brush and ink, sparse and dense.

"Little master, is that Zhao Lang really good?" Pei Yue asked a little uneasily.

"I don't know if he's going to do it, but my gut tells me he should. Besides, he's more reliable, so who else can he find to train those kids in cavalry? ”

"That's right! If you want to find an unreliable one, let alone training, you may sue us for rebellion! ”

"Therefore, I am ready to take this opportunity to attend the funeral for Mrs. Guo, and take both Guo Zhuang and Zhao Langzhen in one fell swoop, so that they can do great things for me in the future!"

……

After settling Guo Zhuang and Zhao Langzhen in the racecourse, Li Tao just returned home and saw Li Longji, Yao Chong and Zhang Wei waiting for him.

"Third uncle, what's wrong with you, it's scary to make such a big formation!" Li Tao looked at the three of them playfully.

"Tao'er, things seem to be a little wrong!" Li Longji said with a gloomy face.

"What's wrong, third uncle, what's wrong?" Li Tao rarely saw Li Longji like this.

"That woman seems to have smelled something, I think your identity may be exposed!"

"What?"

Li Tao was stunned for a moment, and then reacted again, he glanced at Yao Chong and Zhang Wei on the side, nodded self-deprecatingly: "It's okay like this, it's okay if this layer of window paper is stabbed!" Third uncle, what is the situation now! ”

Zhang Wei said on the side: "Recently, there have been many fresh faces in Luzhou, and they are not here to do business. I asked people to investigate, they don't seem to be a group of people, but they are all from Chang'an! ”

"Chang'an?" Li Tao thought thoughtfully: "Her movements are so fast!" ”

"Tao'er, why don't you avoid your aunt first!" Li Longji worried.

Li Tao shook his head and said, "Don't rush first, wait and talk about it first!" ”

"Tao, what are you waiting for?" Li Longji was anxious.

"I still have to wait for Chang'an's letter to come! Only by understanding the current situation can we decide on the next move, otherwise we can only mess up our own positions! Li Tao said without hurrying or panicking.

"This has to be ...... in case" Li Longji is still not at ease.

"Third uncle, don't worry, things are still getting so bad!" Li Tao is confident.

"How so?" Li Longji was puzzled.

"If that woman really wants to do it, does it need to be so cumbersome? Which chase did A-Niang and I encounter before when we didn't shoot directly? This time, she must have scruples if she is not in a hurry to make a move, besides, those people who went to Luzhou are not all the way, there must be something strange in this. So, we still have room to maneuver! ”

Li Longji and the three nodded secretly when they heard this, Li Tao's analysis was not bad at all.

Seeing that the three of them were silent, Li Tao smiled and said: "If it really comes to the worst situation, I will not affect the three of them, please rest assured!" ”

Li Longji suddenly changed color after hearing this: "Tao'er, you underestimate the third uncle, how can the third uncle be a reluctant person, even if I fight for this life, I will protect you and my sister-in-law!" ”

Li Longji's bloodiness touched Li Tao very much, he got up and said movingly: "Tao Er thanked the third uncle on behalf of A-Niang!" ”
