A day later, in the afternoon, Zhao Lie received a report that the new commander of the guard had left the Jinghai Acropolis and started the so-called inspection trip, but Chang Runing even the commander of Jinghai Weizhong, Tongzhi, Zhenfu and others did not tell him to go there to inspect first and set off, obviously afraid that there would be a thief who would tell him and reveal his whereabouts. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Chang Runing was warmly greeted by more than ten people such as Ma Youjun and Deputy Qianhu Zhenfu of the Right Thousand Households in the Right Thousand Households, and Chang Runing did not have too many greetings, and immediately ordered Ma Youjun and others to accompany him to inspect the reserves, treasury, castles, horse farms and other important places.

In the current situation of the dilapidation of the right thousand households, the right army of Tsushima was furious, and he was given a deadline to reorganize the garrison, fill the treasury, repair the castle, and severely punish him if he was overdue.

Ma Youjun wept bitterly, saying that the food and salary had been in arrears for more than a year, more than half of the military households had fled, and the thousand households really had no spare strength to rectify the situation.

For a time, Ma Youjun and his cronies were wallowing and whirling, showing their wrongs, and after checking the account books, his staff said that they were indeed in arrears for a year and three months.

Chang Runing also didn't expect that Jinghaiwei had reached such a dilapidated state, which was far from Dengzhou Laizhou. So he could only reprimand Ma Youjun for being incompetent and inactive, and rushed down, not even eating lunch in the right thousand households, and continued to move forward.

At the beginning of the afternoon of the second day, Zhao Lie received a report that Chang Daren did not stay in other places and was only twenty miles away from Chishan, in fact, Chang Daren's every move was reported by scouts every two hours, Zhao Lie was convinced that Chang Runing would be caught off guard, and sure enough, this Chang Daren did not stay at all in the middle thousand households and the former thousand households, and went straight to the left thousand households.

Zhao Lie said in his heart, this person is a resolute person. I'm afraid that I won't grasp the method of building a city, so I will go straight to Huanglong and see if I find anything. but to the master behind him to do his duty.

Zhao Lie immediately led the guards to rush to Chishan, entered Chishan before Chang Runing, gathered Li Mingyu, Deputy Qianhu Zhuying, Zheng Yimin, and calmed Liu Ping to wait outside the West City Gate.

"Your Excellency. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for us to just wait outside the west gate, whether to welcome three or five miles. Zhu Ying asked.

"It's just that the commander of Wei is coming to inspect military affairs, if it is your majesty today, of course we will welcome ten miles." Zhao Lie pursed his lips and said with great disdain.

Zhu Ying was stunned for a moment, Shi Li retreated, Zhao Lie's words were not small, and the other generals in the institute heard in their ears, and several of them were Jing Haiwei's head snakes. Zhao Lie and his boss have all heard of discord, but the two sides are so antagonistic, or Zhao Lie is so disrespectful to his boss, they are still surprised.

Zhu Ying is seriously not optimistic about Zhao Lie, and said in his heart that you are a thousand households, and you are the commander of the Denglai Dudu and the commander of the Tongzhiwei Sea Division, Zhao Haiming, but your father is a sailor and has no real power in the infantry army. You have a bad relationship with the commander of the guard, but I am afraid that your Lao Tzu will not be able to take care of you. It's really hairless and can't do things firmly.

Zhu Ying inadvertently moved away from Zhao Lie, and several other people did the same, only to see Zhao Lie and Li Mingyu standing abruptly in front of them.

Zhao Lie looked left and right, and saw several people looking at each other, all avoiding their eyes, looking like I was concentrating on waiting for someone. I didn't see it.

Zhao Lie smiled, straightened his armor, stood with his sword, and looked at the dusty distance. Chang has arrived.

Chang Runing and the staff guards and other more than 30 horsemen with crooked armor, covered in dust, and dull trotted out of the dust, according to Zhao Lie and the others, there were only a few dozen steps. Zhao Lie didn't move at all, and looked at the group coldly, and waited for ten steps to stop, before he took two steps forward and knelt on the ground, "Zuo Qianhu Zhao Lie greeted the commander Chang Da. The other generals bowed in unison.

"Everyone, please start, Ben Jiang did not report his whereabouts, how did you know the whereabouts of Ben General." Chang Runing had a smile on his face, but his eyes were cold and asked.

He was very angry in his heart, he was just to catch Zhao Lie off guard, but now Zhao Lie was waiting outside the city, his family was already cautious, but Zhao Lie already knew what the reason was.

"My lord, this thousand households are military camps, and the subordinates must know all about the wind and grass around them, so that they can defend the sea and live up to the trust of the Son of Heaven." Zhao Liehun didn't care, and said sarcastically with a smile.

Chang Runing glanced at Zhao Lie hatefully, what a slippery head, all the rhetoric is slippery and does not leave his hand, and on the surface it is all splendid articles, you can't be in a hurry, otherwise you will be rude.

"Zhao Qianhu, now take this book to Chishan to check the soldiers, the treasury, and the horse farm." Chang Runing ordered immediately.

"My lord, it's noon now, and my subordinates have prepared a banquet at the official office, and my lord will conduct a check after lunch." Zhao Lie said with a smile.

In fact, he didn't prepare a banquet at all, since Chang Runing reported him an unprepared idea, how could he let Zhao Lie have a banquet to clean up.

"No need, this general is the commander of Jinghaiwei appointed by the Son of Heaven, and he has the heavy responsibility of guarding Jinghaiwei, and now the house is broken, and the armor is not repaired, how to make this general feel at ease, Zhao Qianhu, handle it immediately." Chang Runing is upright at the moment, if Zhao Lie doesn't know this person's purpose, he can also be deceived by his appearance.

"So, sir, please." Zhao Lie didn't say much more, for such a clever actor, Zhao Lie didn't plan to perform with him. Zhao Lie gave an order, and the two guards around him rushed to the official office first. The crowd entered the castle.

Chang Runing has nothing to say about the appearance of Chishan Fort, the same rammed earth city wall, the bricks falling off, is caused by the lack of money and food, if he uses this to scold Zhao Lie and return to the guard with the right thousand households, he does not intend to humiliate himself.

Chang Runing entered the fort, only to see that the street was not wide and tidy, the pedestrians were neatly dressed, and they walked with great energy, most of the houses in the fort were newly built, but after the dilapidated of other castles, the feeling of this place was bright.

Zhao Lie, Li Mingyu, Zhu Ying, Zheng Yimin, Liu Pingren led Chang Runing and others to the treasury of the thousand households in the fort, and Zheng Yimin, the deputy thousand households in the chief official treasury, took out the account book, and the two staff members who came with Chang Runing took the account book and began to check them one by one.

500 stone rice grain and half stone are neatly stacked in two warehouses, 500 spears, 200 long knives, more than 70 iron shields, more than 40 bows and crossbows, more than 2,000 crossbow arrows, 24 pairs of piercing armor, more than 30 leather armor, more than 50 cotton armor, more than 600 catties of black powder, more than 40 wooden and iron hammers, more than 10 recyclable rings, and three copper cannons, all of which are very well maintained.

The knives and guns glowed with cold, and the armor was free of dust. The black powder is pure, Chang Runing even opened two bags of rice grain, although it is not rice and white flour, just sorghum rice and black flour, but at first glance, it is new grain, Chang Runing is speechless in his heart. Well, this is the most well-stocked and well-kept warehouse he has ever seen in his life.

How can he find faults, if he is mad here, it is nitpicking, the treasury here is richer than the treasury of the Acropolis, and it is better to deal with it, Chang Runing led everyone out of the treasury without saying a word.

There is a neat phalanx lined up on the school field in front of the warehouse, and there are two big flags in front of them, Jinghaiwei Zuo Qianhu. Zhao Lie, followed by a military formation of 500 people, with a red fat jacket, swords and guns, and the cold air was pressing.

Li Hui was dressed in a big red fat jacket, wearing a hat, carrying a fire gun on his shoulder, and standing in the second row of the phalanx with his waist straight. Watching Lord Zhao and other generals walk towards the phalanx.

As Li Qiusheng's eldest son, the 20-year-old replaced his father as a reserve army last year. According to the regulations of the Thousand Households, except for the only son in the family, each family formed a reserve army, and obeyed orders at any time, of course, there was a salary of one tael of silver per month.

As the beneficiary of Lord Zhao Lie's division of land and land, the desire of the military households to form an army is still extremely high, and the reserve army is to protect Lord Zhao Lie, as long as Lord Zhao Lie is there. Thousands of households have a good life, this is the most simple thinking of military households.

Not to mention that there is a salary of one tael of silver per month, Lord Zhao Lie's soldiers have never been in arrears of food and wages, and it can be said that the competition between the villages is quite poor, and they are very enthusiastic. There are even brothers in military families who clash because of the competition.

As the eldest son in the family, Li Hui has an unshirkable responsibility, and he was also jubilant when he replaced his father as a soldier, and he also wanted to go out of the house and see the world. However, the strict instructors in the whole training let these raw melons and eggs know the pain of being a soldier.

The first was a neat queue for practice, Li Hui was whipped because of the initial left and right, and there were not a few like him, and the dull and boring queue practice lasted for nearly two months.

The same is true for the firearm drills after that, it is really not easy to reload quickly, hundreds of drills a day are crazy, and there are a lot of leather whips, Li Hui thinks of his father's repeated advice not to disgrace his family and stiffen down.

After passing this level, the joint training, fully armed cross-country marching, and encampment are trivial matters, and Li Hui is now standing upright in the local area.

Chang Runing looked at the neatly arranged, energetic, and fully armed military formation in front of him, and was secretly surprised, this is the most rigorous military situation he has ever seen, at a glance, he can know that it must have undergone strict training, if there is a weakness, it is that most of the soldiers are raw melons and eggs, just look at their eyes, you can know that they have not experienced the battle formation at all, and the fierce and fierce eyes that should be after birth and death.

Zhao Lie handed over the roster, and Chang Runing's staff counted the entire military array one by one, and there were no vacancies and empty salaries, all of which were real numbers.

Chang Runing was also very surprised, there were only more than 100 cronies in the 500 reserve troops in the right thousand households, and the others were empty, and even most of the thousands of households in the Dengzhou Guard he left were only retained six or seven percent of the real number, that is, the generals gave up their wealth in order to save their lives, after all, the governor of Denglai and the general soldiers of Denglai gave an order to board the battle array, but they wanted their subordinates to save their lives, who dared to eat too much empty salary, and they really wanted money and didn't want to die.

However, this was the first time in Chang Runing's memory that the fully equipped and well-trained reserve army had happened, indicating that Zhao Lie didn't eat empty salaries at all, didn't care about the money and food at all, and had no interest in the treasury of the Thousand Households, which made Chang Runing feel embarrassed that he had nowhere to start.

This is not at all a matter of knowing that his Chang Lord's itinerary for a few hours can be completed, it seems that his plan to go straight to Huanglong has failed, this Yanai is either afraid of losing face and disdains to eat empty salaries or this little money is not eye-catching, in short, Zuo Qianhu is so impeccable, no regrets.

Chang Runing Chang was empty this time, as if he was flashed with all his strength, and he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood without being depressed.

Chang Runing was depressed and ordered his staff to check the account books of the Thousand Households, and the result was that in more than three days, it was only found that Shidao had paid a lot of taxes, which was also the source of the armor of the Thousand Households, and the money and grain were enough to support one Thousand Households.

In fact, this is Zhao Lie's order, Shidao can't hide it, however, it is impossible for a wealthy place to not pay taxes to the Shangguan to which it belongs, Zhao Lie will never leave others such a truth, and he doesn't care about some money and food, what he cares about is to keep Shidao, the foundation in Daming.

After all the inspections in Chishan have been completed, everything in Zuo Qianhu is so perfect, so that Chang Runing can't wait to shout, can your Zhao family not be so capable, this is not your Zhao family's private property, but the imperial court Qianhu, clean up so neatly, leave it to others.
