Chapter 35: The Layout of the Shuaifu (4)
Li Gaotang glanced at He Xiaoduo, and saw that her face was kind and gentle, and there was no wave, obviously the two of them were either through qi or had a tacit understanding, and said stubbornly: "I have low ability, shallow morality, and I always do things in peacetime, always trembling, like walking on thin ice." But there is only one good thing, work diligently. As long as the command from above comes down, no matter how difficult it is, you must always find a way to do it well. The former marshal's mansion gave advice and strategized for the princess, and I had two hundred pounds, and I was sent at will. ”
Li Gaotang is old in politics and knows that he belongs to the Ministry of Cooperation, and the former marshal's office does not have the power to directly command him, so he calmly accepts the order, and he is suspected of being the second master, I am afraid that he will violate He Xiaoduo's taboo.
But since the top boss He Xiaoduo was also present, he seemed to be unable to accept the order under his words. So in his words, he made it clear that he listened to the dispatch of the former marshal's mansion, which was to serve the princess. If the order of the former marshal's office is against the interests of the princess, there is naturally the freedom not to listen to the dispatch. He spoke freely and easily.
Yun Tianjia smiled faintly and said, "This first task, I would like to ask Chief Li to build a workshop outside the east gate of Shizhu Island, which will be used as a place for alchemy, medicine refining, and refining. ”
When Li Gaotang heard this, he sighed and said: "There are many folk craftsmen, and it is very easy to build a house. You only need to specify the requirements, and I will ensure that you are satisfied. ”
"Of course, it's not just about building a house. Yun Tianjia smiled and said, "In addition to the workshop, you also need to prepare a hundred Danding, a hundred medicine furnaces, and a hundred wind and fire stoves, with two hundred alchemists, two hundred alchemists, and two hundred refiners. ”
Li Gaotang's eyes widened and widened, and he said hurriedly: "No, no! There are not many alchemists, alchemists, and refiners, and the good ones are even rarer, if I am asked to find twenty of each, maybe I can barely do it, and I can't find two hundred of each, and I can't kill my head." ”
Yun Tianjia said: "Chief Li, don't worry. The alchemists, alchemists, and refiners I want don't need to be very powerful, as long as they are diligent in their hands and feet, clever in their minds, able to understand words, and strong and powerful. Grandmaster-level masters can't be found, so it's not a problem to find hundreds of apprentices, right?"
"That's easy. Li Gaotang was puzzled: "But what is the use of you only looking for apprentices? What good things can they refine? I'm afraid it's a waste of materials." ”
"I came to them, not to let them be masters, but to help me. All they had to do was take turns guarding the furnace, cutting the material and feeding the fire as I instructed. "Yun Tianjia Dao;"In fact, the recipe and heat of the three hundred Ding stoves will be controlled by me personally. ”
Wen Yanxin shook his head and said: "You are a former commander, how many major military aircraft are coordinated every day, how can you have the strength to refine the alchemy again?" Even if you are busy sneaking attack to refine the alchemy, that person can't manage a few Ding furnaces, these three hundred furnaces, isn't it a bit too much?"
"Not much, not much. Yun Tianjia smiled and said: "I want to refine the promotion elixir, life-saving wound medicine, body protection armor, and handy weapons for the whole army, one hundred each, and there can be no less." ”
He took out a large pile of hard paper from the drawer of the table and said, "Chief Li, if you want to refine the Dan Refiner, it is not enough to have people and tools, you also have to have raw materials." The raw materials, varieties and quantities I need are all written here, you can see it. ”
Li Gaotang took the paper, looked at it fixedly, his face instantly collapsed, and he said bitterly, "This ...... This is too much, isn't it? And the herbs, minerals, spirit stones, soul beasts, soul bones, and metals you want are of such a high grade, where can you find them? Lingyun incense, turtle back grass, wood grain ginseng, spirit winter bamboo, water soul bones, flash blue gold...... These things are not common in the first place, not to mention they must be high-quality goods?"
He Xiaoduo's eyes swept and asked, "What's the matter, Chief Li can't do it?"
Li Gaotang was stunned for a moment, frowned and looked at the list of materials several times, hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "The princess and the former marshal's mansion have an order, and the old minister does not dare to disobey the order, but he fights all his body, just do it with his heart." ”
He Xiaoduo said: "I don't care if you don't have to worry about it, but things must be done, done beautifully, without a little discount." ”
Li Gaotang said respectfully: "Yes, yes." But he was very disapproving, thinking that he would be able to deal with it if he prepared three percent of the things on the list. Didn't you complete the task, and you still killed my head?
This second task was supervised by General Li and General Liu and General Fan. ”
Yun Tianjia invited Liu Yichen and Fan Ye into the command room and said: "The bandit army is strong, the soldiers are sharp, and the morale is booming. Our side is weak, unable to advance and attack, and unable to defend in retreat. The root cause of this lies in the fact that our front line has too few mobile troops, and there is no unified order, and the rear is not strong-willed and cannot stand on its feet. Regardless of the front and rear, it is imperative to expand the army and train troops.
My opinion is that 30,000 elite armor soldiers will be transferred from the left and right forbidden armies and the armies of the five central prefectures, and they will be enriched to the front line and dispatched by the former marshal's office.
Among them, 2,000 elites were transferred from the left and right forbidden armies, and 26,000 veterans were transferred from the five central provinces. The vacancies drawn from the various armies are recruited from the civilian sector to make up for them. The total number of forbidden troops remained unchanged, and the armies of the five central states could recruit more. For example, if the former marshal's office has transferred 26,000 veterans from it, then 50,000 new soldiers can be added in case of danger. The matter of troop transfer and recruitment shall be completed within two months!"
Fighting a war against bandits is a game of chess in the whole country, and the armies of the five central prefectures, as the general rear, should be given manpower and material support, so it is a matter of course to send 26,000 veterans to the front.
As for the elite from the forbidden army to the front line, there is no such precedent in history, Liu Yichen and Fan Ye did not dare to agree rashly, and they all looked at He Xiaoduo together.
He Xiaoduo said without hesitation: "The front line is unstable, and the rear is uneasy. If the forbidden army does not go to the front line to fight, does it have to be fought by the enemy in Kyoto? When the time comes, I am afraid that it will be too late. You just have to follow the orders of the former marshal's office, and if there is any problem, I will explain it to my father. ”
Liu Yichen, Fan Ye, and Li Gaotang took the order and retreated, thinking in their hearts: "The princess obeys Yun Tianjia's words, and whatever she says is what she says, which is equivalent to the military and political power in the front and rear, all of which are unified in Yun Tianjia." This is certainly a good thing for fighting, but in the long run, everyone only knows that there is a former marshal's mansion, but they don't know that there is a princess's mansion. ”
Wen Yanxin also flashed a thought: "After all, the princess is young, and she doesn't know that people's desires are difficult to fill, although she has been using kingship since elementary school, she is a little arrogant after all." The princess's mansion could have taken care of these tasks assigned by Yun Tianjia on its own, so why bother to pretend to the former marshal's mansion? Once the battle is won in the future, no one will dare to challenge the authority of the former marshal's mansion again, and who will be able to control Yun Tianjia at that time? ”
He is very deep in the city, and his heart is worried, and he will not show any of it.
