Chapter 112 Weakening Tang Hou is urgent
When the judge entered the city, he walked around the crowded county town of Tozhong, and was shocked by the vitality and bustle shown here.
The streets are clean and hygienic, the road is full of people coming and going, the shops on both sides are lined with shouting and bargaining, and the dazzling array of various commodities makes people dazzled.
If it weren't for the pedestrians and business travelers who spoke with a relatively strong Liaodong accent, the judge would have thought that he had come to the bustling town of Jizhou.
This made him feel very incredible, he felt that this place was much more prosperous and noisy than Yecheng, especially the various goods in the shops, Yecheng definitely did not have so many complete kinds of goods.
What surprised him even more was that the people here were all ruddy and vibrant, and they were much stronger than the people in other parts of the Central Plains.
What's even more surprising is that the people who come and go to the market are strong and full of blood and muscles, not to mention, they have all practiced martial arts from the breath, although they don't seem to be in the stream, but they are also quite amazing.
These strong and healthy people are simply the best source of soldiers.
If their physical fitness is at this level in every city, then they can be transformed into a powerful source of troops at any time.
If the situation is urgent, if the businessman Li Tian mobilizes regardless of the limit of the loss of territory, he can at least raise two or three hundred thousand elite soldiers, which is an extremely amazing force!
Thinking of this, the judge was shocked and worried.
What is surprising is that businessman Li Tian has accumulated such a strong foundation without making a sound, that is, if Jizhou is mobilized to the limit, he can gather 500,000 troops at most, and most of them are people who have not undergone training and are not very good at fighting.
Liaodong is not as good as Jizhou, there are dense jungles everywhere, and the development and utilization rate of land is pitiful, but Tanghou Li Tian's territory is so full that everyone can eat, even if it is Yecheng in Jizhou, it is impossible for everyone to eat, it is impossible.
If you don't eat enough, your body will not have the strength, and if you haven't undergone long-term training and training, how can you become an elite soldier?
Walking around the streets of Qiantang City with a few thoughts, and reducing the so-called is not to be amazed.
He also discovered a strange phenomenon, there was not a single idle half-grown man on the street, and the green-skinned ruffian simply disappeared.
Curious, he led a few of his attendants into a noisy restaurant.
The judge knows that the restaurant is a place where news gathers, and it is also the place where the news of the people in a city or a place spreads the fastest.
Sure enough, he didn't disappoint, and quickly solved the doubts in his heart from the mouths of local drinkers.
No wonder there are almost no children running around on the street, and there are young people who are energetic but have no ability to support their families, and they are idle teenagers, it turns out that they are all called into public schools by Tang Hou's subordinates to practice literature and martial arts, and eat three meals a day.
Once it is found that the people have not sent their children to the public school, the parents will be whipped, but the strange thing is that the children of the scholar clan are not among them, and only after inquiring did they know that these scholars do not allow their children to enter these public schools.
Strong soldiers can do work occasionally, but they can't leave the barracks for a long time, and this is when the green-skinned ruffians from all over the country come in handy.
They will be formed into labor camps by the government and convicts, and they will be responsible for those tasks that are extremely laborious, dangerous, or require long hours of labor, until a certain period of time, when they can sign the government's guarantee and no longer be idle.
The county seat of Tozhong has a very good look and feel, not only neat and clean, there is hardly much domestic garbage on the street, and the order of the market is unexpectedly, giving people a very comfortable feeling, and at a glance I feel that this is a good place.
A great place indeed!
After a day of review, my mood slowly became heavy, but it was not easy to show it.
The leopard in the tube can be seen, although he has only wandered around the county seat of Tozhong for a few times, but the atmosphere revealed here, the breath of striving for progress, and the strength that is faintly unclear make him can't help but be frightened, and the result of Yuan Shao's territory makes him even more depressed.
Tang Houhu silently, he had silently accumulated a very amazing strength, just in terms of money, food, materials and the strength of the elite of the army, although the number was small, he was depressed and found that Yuan Shao might not be an opponent anymore.
It's a cruel reality!
But I didn't know that Li Tian's original title as a businessman was changed as he continued to observe and be surprised, and now he was called Tang Hou, not businessman Li Tian!
Now the trial finally knows why Tang Hou is not afraid of offending the Shi clan gate valve, this kind of popular education and martial arts training method, after a few years, I am really not afraid of no talent, and then I am afraid that there is really no place for the Shi clan gate valve!
Thinking of this, the judge couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart! The judge just couldn't understand why Tang Hou Li Tian was not afraid that the people would rebel and rebel after mastering the knowledge, after all, this was not conducive to the rule!
The trial secretly thought: "It seems that Xu You and Ju Yi must be redeemed as soon as possible, and find a way to weaken Tang Hou, otherwise Hou will really have no place to stand by then!"
The trial did not know, in Li Tian's eyes, as long as he abided by the rules of the territory, whether it was the gate lord clan or the common people, they would be treated equally, instead of specifically suppressing the gate lords of the clan clan, after all, these gate lord clans have a lot of talents, and there are many masters, these people all belong to the scope of plunder, Li Tian naturally will not go too far!
Moreover, the commerce in the Tang Hou territory is prosperous, for many scholars and gate lords, this is a great opportunity to strengthen the family, but unfortunately these people don't see it!
After going to the Zhongcheng Mansion and reporting his identity, he started a negotiation with Tang Hou's subordinates, but unfortunately when he wanted to see Tang Hou, Tang Hou avoided it, and the trial was regretful!
At most, the two sides reached an agreement with 500 catties of grain and 10 million yuan, and when Tang Hou received the money and grain sent by Yuan Shao in Tuozhong City, the two of them could be brought back!
Once Yuan Shao knew that he had spent a huge price to get back the two super fine works, I don't know what he thought!
After the negotiation was reached, the trial had no intention of staying here, and arranged for an attendant to stay here to receive Ju Yi and Xu You, hoping to return to Yecheng as soon as possible and report everything here to Yuan Shao, and in the negotiation process, the trial has been constantly thinking of ways to weaken Tang Hou's forces, and after comparing methods, the trial believes that it is necessary to ask a third party to take action, weaken Tang Hou, and it is urgent!
When the trial carriage just walked to the gate of Tuzhong County, he suddenly saw two familiar figures passing by him in the other carriage, and the figures of two people suddenly came to his heart, frowning slightly: "How did these two people come to Liaodong?"
