As for the number of troops, Lin Feng originally envisioned that 50,000 to 100,000 elite soldiers would be selected across the country, similar to the field army, as the main force for foreign conquests; the next one, about 50,000 elite soldiers will be selected as the main force for border defense; Other eliminated soldiers are used as reserve forces; As for the expansion of the border, a new round of selection will be carried out.

At present, there are a total of 11 knots in the whole territory of the Southern Tang Dynasty, if the number of existing troops in each place is equal, the elite soldiers in a place should be almost 5,000 to 10,000, and then according to the ratio of 10 to 1, the number of people who can participate in the competition should be between 500 and 1,000. However, Lin Feng knew that this number was very sensitive, so he naturally would not take the initiative to bring it up.

This time, after quickly estimating the elites they could select, everyone had their own ideas, and put forward "two hundred, three hundred, five hundred, eight hundred...... One thousand, two thousand" and so on. The one who shouted two hundred was Liu Yanzhen, the assassin of Shouzhou, and the one who shouted two thousand was Liu Renzhen, the envoy of Wuchang Jiedu. As a bystander, Lin Feng also had a rough idea of the strength of the armies in various places, and couldn't help but admire Liu Renzhen even more, the loyal minister who still insisted on serious military training in this era of peace, this is the backbone of the Southern Tang Dynasty!

Tobe Shangshu Tao, who had been making soy sauce in the discussion, raised his hand, got up and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the army has not moved, and the grain and grass go first. Considering that everyone will have to train troops on a large scale this year and early next year, there will be a lot of consumption of grain, grass, and weapons, and the state treasury will certainly be tight. Therefore, for next year's competition, Tao suggested that it is best to control it within 500 people, so that the festival that can bring more elite soldiers will make adults afraid that they will have to be wronged all of a sudden. ”

Tao Qian, who had not spoken for a long time, immediately made everyone laugh as soon as he spoke.

Li Jingsui nodded with satisfaction, these ministers are so enthusiastic to report the number of people, and I am afraid that there are many people who come to eat national food and rub big households, you can't let people carry a lot of dry food and a few sets of weapons to compete. Tao Qian is also invisibly waking up everyone, and he is saving food weapons in the country.

After some discussion, the maximum number of people was limited to 500 people per place. At this point, the discussion on military training and martial arts competitions has basically ended.

At the end, Li Jing, who had been sitting on the dragon seat and just listening, stood up and summed up with blazing eyes: "You Aiqing have worked hard for several days!" I hereby ask you to do your best to train unparalleled elite soldiers for the Tang Dynasty! The future development of Datang depends on your Aiqing, and Datang's thousands of years depend on your Aiqing! ”

Li Jing, the king of Qi, took the lead, and all the ministers left their seats and knelt on the ground.

Li Jingsui shouted loudly: "The minister is willing to do his best to live up to his drive, please don't worry about Your Majesty." The ministers behind him also shouted in unison: "The ministers are willing to do their best to live up to their drive, please don't worry about Your Majesty." ”

This is the end of a discussion of military reform.

After Li Jing left, Li Jingsui bid farewell to the military ministers on his behalf. Before leaving the main hall, Li Jingsui grabbed Liu Renzhen, the envoy of Wuchang Jiedu, and whispered a few words, and Liu Renzhen nodded again and again.

When a large group of people arrived at the palace gate, Liu Renzhen came over and grabbed Lin Feng's hand, shook it twice vigorously, patted him on the shoulder, and resolutely turned around and left.

Lin Feng said goodbye to a few bosses, found Ge Chang and Zhang Bin who were nearby, and was walking, but was grabbed by the shoulder, and when he looked back, it was Lin Renzhao, the deputy general of Quarshiji, and Chen Decheng, the deputy general of the Loyal and Righteous Army, Chen Decheng and Chen Desheng.

Lin Renzhao looked at Ge Chang and Zhang Bin, the muscles on his body bulged unfreely, and he smiled and said: "Lord Lin has many good men, how can Lin get advice from the house." ”

Chen Decheng also smiled and said: "We will return to Jianzhou tomorrow, and my father will order my two brothers to be close to Lord Lin again." ”

Lin Feng also said with a smile: "Friends are here, naturally there is good wine to treat each other!" Let's go! ”

Not long after Lin Feng and the young men left, the carriages of the privy deputy envoys Wei Cen and Cha Wenhui also moved, and the two of them still sat in the same car.

"Master Cha, you didn't notice it for a while, and you were so excited by that Lin Feng that you bet that it's a hidden danger." Wei Cen said with some frustration. In this big discussion of change, the two did not achieve much, and they were forced to make a bet, which can be described as not going well.

"It doesn't matter, there are many major events in the world, unpredictable, how can he be predicted by a little scholar, this bet will definitely become a place for him Lin Feng to sink into the sand!" Cha Wenhui's iron-blue face showed a hint of hideousness.

"Having said that, I think that Lin Feng is not a reckless person, and this matter should not be careless. Brother Guangshen, there is a person in my house who has studied the I Ching intensively, and it just so happens that there are a few new kabuki in the house, why don't you ask my brother to come over to the house to relieve the hard work of the recent days? Wei Cen said with a soft smile.

"Then Xie Lu Xie Wei!" Cha Wenhui lifted his fat body and found a comfortable posture to lie down.

When he arrived at the Wei Mansion, Wei Cen instructed his subordinates to prepare singing and dancing, and asked Gongsun Sheng to go to the study, and he led Cha Wenhui all the way to the study.

The two had just sat down, and before the tea had been made, a tall, thin, dark-faced man hurried over and knelt on the ground to greet the two adults.

"Gongsun Sheng, some people predict that Guo Wei in the north may be a very popular minister, you can calculate it." Wei Cen asked softly.

"Can it mean that the Han Kingdom stayed behind, and Guo Wei, the envoy of the Tianxiong Army and the privy envoy?" The man named Gongsun Sheng looked up and asked.

"Exactly. Get up. Wei Cen replied.

After the man got up from the ground, he pinched his fingers with a solemn expression and counted for a long time, and then said in surprise: "Two adults, who is this speculation?" In "Tui Bei Tu", it was said: "The Han water is exhausted, the finches fly high, fly around and stop, and the mountains are not as low as the city." There is Guo Youque in this image, which is in line with Guo Wei's name. According to folk rumors, Guo Wei has a house finch tattooed around his neck, so the northerners privately call it 'Guo Que'er'.

A few days ago, a friend from the north and south once talked about a children's song circulated among the people, and also sang: "A hundred birds fly on the water, and ninety-nine cross Shanxi." Only one stepped on his feet, and Gao Qi took care of his sweater alone. I'm afraid it's also in response to this image. ”

"Is that true?" Cha Wenhui, who was originally indifferent, looked more and more stern, and after hearing this, he straightened his body and asked sharply.

"The villain watched the stars night and night, and found that the northern stars were flickering, but he was afraid that there would be big changes, but the hexagram was really vague and unclear, and the villain did not dare to speak falsely." Gongsun Sheng said respectfully.

"Alright, you can go down." Wei Cen waved his hand and motioned for Gongsun to win.

The corners of Gongsun Sheng's mouth moved, but he didn't say anything, and bowed back.

"A few days ago, there was news from the palace, saying that Lin Feng had told the Holy Lord, King Qi and others about the general trend of the world, could it be that this Lin Feng is also proficient in the science of the stars, and it is really possible to observe the general trend of the world?" Wei Cen said hesitantly.

"Don't scare yourself, Lin Feng is just a scholar with a little ability." The person concerned, Cha Wenhui, in turn, comforted Wei Cen, but his body couldn't help but twitch slightly.

Just when these two people were frightened and uneasy in their hearts, the small-scale competition in Lin Feng's mansion reached a tense moment.
