After four or five years of rectification, it can be said that the life of several Zhuangzi in Zhaofu is getting better and better, although there is not much difference between the tenant rent collected from the rented land and the adjacent Zhuangzi, but there are countless harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes here, and there is less oppression and bullying by the government and harassment by evil officials, compared with people in other places, it can be regarded as living in the 'news network'. Perfect water conservancy facilities, and can give priority to the use of various advanced agricultural machinery, farming can save effort and can get more grain, the old ladies and half-grown children in the family can serve down, and the population can also carry some poultry to subsidize the family. Most of the men have entered various workshops in Zhuangzi, and they can get back a lot of wages on time every month, but someone proposes to marry, and as soon as they say that they are from Zhao Zhuang, the family affair has already been considered halfway

Everyone has a rod and scale in their hearts, and everyone knows that Lu Dao can live a good life, precisely because of the protection and care of the prince, but the prince has never asked everyone to make any unequal requests, even if the labor is requisitioned, it is also paid according to the price. The housekeepers and subordinates never bully people, they treat people very kindly, and if there is an emergency at home, the government will send them to help deal with it, that is, the imperial doctor who specializes in treating the prince, who has an emergency disease, will also go to the outpatient clinic for treatment no matter when he has an emergency.

Zhao Ta's plan was to build a thousand cavalry club with riding and archery as the main content and a hero club with martial arts as the main content, and convened the head of the village, the chief of the bao, and the chief of the first to hold a few meetings, and everyone agreed. People's hearts change people's hearts, and now there is something in the house to call, and there is no one who dares to go to give money in the past few years. Now the four villages in the north and south of the Zhao Mansion plus the new two Zhuangzi new and old villagers heard that the palace is going to fund the establishment of a community to protect the homeland of the palace, which is a good thing for self-interest, of course, they are all eager to try, and they also want to contribute to the prince.

The two clubs chose a good day to open at the same time and accept new members on the spot, but not everyone is qualified to enter, which has a threshold, and the selection is also very strict. Zhao Ta knew that this era of emphasizing literature over military force may cause the decline of the martial spirit, and he was worried that he would not be able to recruit enough qualified people, so he was ready to use his power to release water, after all, too few people would go against his original intention.

But the result was unexpected, the registration scene was extremely hot, several records of the club were too busy, and had to temporarily dispatch a few stewards in the house to help, they came unceremoniously wrote their names first, Zhao Ta only knew that Huang Jingchen was right, although the Baojia Law existed in name only, but it led to the growing popularity of folk martial arts, at that time, in order to encourage the practice of martial arts, it was clearly stipulated that those who were skilled in martial arts could be added to the rank of knight, and the highest person could be the commander, at that time people regarded this as a way out, It can also be regarded as the lost harvest of mulberry elm

There are 400 places in the Hero Club, Zhao Ta thinks that there are a lot, but there are even more people who sign up, and in the end, it is no longer possible to decide only by demonstrating martial arts, so he can only arrange a few more confrontations to end the selection. Compared with the Hero Society, the Thousand Riding Society is a bit deserted, after all, the Song Dynasty lost the natural horse farm, and was plagued by the lack of horses for more than 100 years, after the abolition of the Horse Protection Law, there are few people in the countryside who are willing to raise horses, this thing is very powerful, not only the price is high, the temper is not good, it is not as good as raising a cow, and there are of course fewer people who can ride horses without horses.

The Zhao Mansion has been tossed for several years by Zhao Talian, but there are only one hundred and ten horses that barely meet the standards of war horses, and the Thousand Riding Society is called the Hundred Riding Society, which is worthy of its name. Despite this, there were more than 200 people who signed up, and after the selection of the most ruthless, more than 100 people were selected, and the people from the Zhao Mansion accounted for more than one-third. There are a few people who have aroused Zhao Ta's interest, they have a bad reputation among the villagers, that is, we often say that we don't do a good job, just like the nine-tattooed dragon Shi Jin in the Water Margin, the family conditions are not bad, they don't work, they don't farm, they specialize in practicing the art of stabbing, and they learn kung fu on the ground well, and they have studied for a few years, and they are considered to be the all-round people in civil and military affairs.

The little prince with the most capital became the honorary head of the two societies, Meng Tao and Zhang Feng were elected as the vice presidents of the two societies, and the nursing homes in the house also joined the two societies according to their respective specialties, and Zhao Ta firmly grasped the dominance in his own hands through the agent.

Once the team is built, the rest is left to someone else. At this time, everyone discovered a secret, the four Zhuangzi and the workshop that the prince chose to build were surrounded by the main canal, or close to the riverbank, the wide trunk canal is difficult to jump over even if the horse is crossed, as long as the wooden bridge connecting the two sides is changed into a suspension bridge, it will form a natural barrier, send people to guard the bridge, and it is difficult for a hundred and ten people to pass easily. If a large group of thieves attacked, the scattered community and horse teams could quickly assemble through the main road to drive out the invading enemy. The newly harvested two Zhuangzi are more troublesome, and they need to build a walled gate and put up fences around them. ,

Soon the sentry tower was erected at the key points of each Zhuangzi, and the main intersection was set up to guard the sentry, and the community was divided into several teams, and there was a team of people on duty every day, patrolling with the cooperation of the horse team, and the wharf and each workshop were the focus of guarding, and there were community members to take care of them day and night. In order not to affect the income of the members, those who participate in the training and are on duty, the wages of the people in the workshop are still paid, and those who do not have a regular job will be given a subsidy of 200 wen per day, and of course, the food money must also be counted on Zhao Ta's head???

Zhao Ta watched the training of the members twice, and looked at the physical fitness of these people, and they all had two kung fu skills, and two or three ordinary people were not their opponents, but they were almost in discipline, although they could still do their duty, but this was only the simplest task, if they went to the battlefield and faced the enemy's iron cavalry, they might be scattered in a hurry. He can also understand that they are still just members of the society, and they abide by the social rules of self-discipline, and compared with the strict military rules of beheading, the social rules they abide by are childish.

"An iron army must have iron discipline, and the cultivation of discipline is not something that can be achieved overnight, it takes thousands of tempers to reach the realm of being immobile in the face of death???" Zhao Ta looked at it and was distracted again.

??????

In the next period of time, everyone suddenly found that the prince had convulsions again, and now was the critical time to plant greenhouse vegetables, so they called away the original little guys who already had rich experience, and picked up more than 20 fifteen or sixteen-year-olds from the new family in the house and took them away. Now that it's winter, chopping wood, burning fires, and buying winter vegetables are all when people are being employed, but the prince has taken people away, so that everyone can't help but complain.

"Lord Wang, do you really want to move to Beifu to live?" The old man is afraid of the cold, the summer courtyard has been on fire for more than ten days in advance, and the earth dragon has warmed the house, and Huang Jingchen is even more reluctant to go out of the house now.

"Yes, I will live until at least next spring, and you will have to worry more about the affairs in the house," Zhao Ta took a sip of the tea handed by Feng Xi and said.

"It's been so long, and now it's cold, can your body and bones stand it?" Huang Jingchen was taken aback and said with concern.

"The silly boy sleeps on a cool kang, all by firepower, and after raising it for so many years, his body is fine," Zhao Ta said with a smile.

"In the past two winters, the prince has been bathing with cold water every day, isn't this how his body is fine?" Feng Xi listened to what Zhao Ta said interestingly, and couldn't help but interject.

"Of course, why don't you wash with me." Zhao Tan teased.

"The little one doesn't dare to compare with the second master, it's cold to think about it" Feng Xi said curtly, knowing that the prince was here, he must have something to discuss with Huang Jingchen, and retreated with a smile.

"Who is the prince going to bring over?" Huang Jingchen asked.

"I plan to bring Zhao Ren and the other ten people over, and I have selected more than 30 from the newly bought family members, and I want to pick another 10 from the small yellow door to make up 50 people," Zhao Ta said.

"Well, these bought children and the little yellow door sent by the palace last year, Shunzi have all checked, the family is innocent, and they have nothing to do with the people in the rivers and lakes in the court, but they can be used," Huang Jingchen said.

"Junzi is still comfortable in front of the shopkeeper now, this time it costs a lot of money, right?" Zhao Ta said with a smile.

"Shunzi is so happy now that even I, the old man, almost forget, he manages the restaurant and can enter thousands of times a day, what can it be to spend that little money, but the conditions you want are too high, you must be able to ride a horse, have a little skill, don't be stupid, you are old, it does take a lot of work" Huang Jingchen said with vinegar in his words.

"How many people are there left?" Zhao Ta looked at Huang Jingchen with a little amusement, and asked again.

"He left more than 100 people, most of them were sent to secret places in the countryside, and a few of them were left around him to train by himself, after all, there are many people in the capital, and there are many eyes and ears in the palace, so we should be careful about what we do now" Huang Jingchen whispered.

"Well, I'll send Lu Da tomorrow, he is an expert, no worse than your original people, but I don't know how many people can be successful in Lu Dao, and how many people can be left from him," Zhao Ta said.

"Yes, but for the safety of the prince in the future, these are still worth it, now His Royal Highness's coming-of-age ceremony is imminent, and there are already people building momentum to let the emperor set up the prince early, but some people have other plans, and the people on both sides will start fighting now, and it will inevitably drag us into troubled waters" Huang Jingchen said with a sigh.

"Hehe, it's good to fish in muddy waters, let's also participate appropriately, but don't stir too deep and fall into the mouth" Zhao Ta gave Huang Jingchen a look that you know, "In addition, you have a relationship with the Imperial Medical Bureau, and get some of the remaining doctors from them, and now Imperial Doctor Wang can't be busy alone." ”,

"Who will come to us, poor country," Huang Jingchen said with some embarrassment.

"Aren't you familiar with them? We still have a big banner of the palace, we can give more money, and they don't want to give officials, if you operate it well, you will get it to us," Zhao Ta said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll try" Huang Jingchen reluctantly agreed, "Lord Wang, it's about to be the end of the year, and the palace will release people out of the palace as usual, and the palace maids in our house are not too young, so it's time to change a batch, you can get an idea first, so as not to disturb your 'Qing Xiu' in the future"

"If you voluntarily let go and are willing to go, we will entangle, and if you are willing to marry in the house, we will give a dowry, but the new entrants must find out the details, and they must not be careless."

"Hehe, don't be a ** heart about this, the prince is old, the mother must be more thoughtful than me for the prince, she must be a beautiful flower, gentle and considerate???"

"Come on, don't say it, this king is still young, it's too early to think about this, you can push it for me and Niangniang" Zhao Ta left a sentence and ran away, but behind him was the old man's laughter.
