Uncle Li swallowed his saliva: "I said virtuous son-in-law, aren't you joking?" You just said that the cost of these Wu Ben troops in a month is equivalent to ten ordinary Tang soldiers, how can you save money? Even if they are all one against ten, but on the battlefield, in the fight of thousands of troops, how much benefit can they have? ”

I smiled, the old guy didn't know how to let these people go to the battlefield to fight blatantly? Unless I'm a fool. "The doubts of the father-in-law, the son-in-law is naturally very clear, in fact, let's take an analogy, what happened in Liaodong this time, the Yan tribe offended my people, if Your Majesty dealt with it, what would happen?"

"The old man naturally ordered the army to go to conquer, and so on!" Uncle Li suddenly paused, glanced sideways at me, pondered slightly, and laughed loudly: "Could it be that the martial arts practiced by the virtuous son-in-law are used for small-scale warfare?" In this way, there is no need for too much military spending, grain and grass, so as not to oppose the government and the opposition. Just like what you said to the old man last time, what is it called...... Well, wait for the old man to think about it. ”

Uncle Li stroked his long beard and patted his thigh: "The minimum cost and the lowest risk in exchange for the maximum benefit, this is the sentence, right?" ”

"Your Majesty is wise, in fact, they are more useful than that......" I said with a smile: "My Datang is now a little safer, but the threat of the northwest is still there, in the east, Baekje Silla is still yang and yin, and Baekje and the Wa Kingdom are even more closely related, and I still have a heart of disobedience to the Tang Dynasty, as for the south, Nanzhao and Tubo have a good base, and they are arrogant to my Tang Dynasty, and they are often rude. And the son-in-law thinks that the role of Wu Benjun ......"

The use of these elites I have trained is not limited to small-scale warfare, if there are so many hundreds of people burning and looting in the territory of the Western Turks, the destruction caused by it is even no less than that of an army of tens of thousands, and they can also carry out decapitation operations, that is, use them, assassinate the opponent's generals, or sneak attack on an important location of the opponent, and play a role in boosting the completion of our army's strategic and tactical goals, or even directly complete.

Uncle Li naturally understood the reason, and ordered that I should be selected from among the active soldiers, and in any case, a thousand people should be selected, but I was still responsible for the regular training and other matters of this unit, but their combat orders must be answered by the General Staff and Uncle Li. "Even if it is the Ministry of War, it only has the right to propose, not the right to dispatch." Uncle Li was very serious and solemnly admonished.

---------------------------------------------------- I bowed my head and obeyed orders, from this moment on, the Wu Benjun showed their heads for the first time, which attracted the attention of Uncle Li, and in the future, they will definitely be able to give full play to their combat capabilities, and they are different from the ordinary government soldiers, and even different from the elite of the Sixteen Guards, because they will be the seeds and models of the professional soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.

The return journey is slow, outside Chang'an City in spring, a patch of shades of green, lined with the blue of the blue sky, which makes people feel refreshed and happy. However, Uncle Lee's next request made my mood immediately darken, very moonless. Because the Hongwenguan branch library has been under construction in Pingliaocheng, the former capital of Goguryeo, and the construction is nearing completion, but the personnel have not yet been allocated, Uncle Li came to consult with me with a cheeky face to ask if he could take someone out of my hands.

"Your Majesty, did you mean to transfer all the scholars assigned to Honglu Temple to Liaodong first?!" I can't help but be stunned, the old hooligan's methods are too dark, right? Whatever talent I cultivated, whether it was diplomatic or military, Uncle Li would be like a greedy hungry wolf, swallowing whatever he wanted, and not even spitting out a single bone.

"Virtuous son-in-law, the old man is also difficult...... Uncle Li Lerma walked slowly side by side with me, and said in a low voice: "Virtuous son-in-law, you have seen it yourself, and you don't know what those scholars look like." The old man has no choice, he can only think of some ways from you, you can't let the old man send a group of rotten Confucians who only know Confucius and Mencius, right? I'm afraid that when the time comes, these people will still help outsiders to say that our court is not it. Uncle Li's face was full of bitterness, well, it seems that he has been criticized by the old Confucian students a lot before.

I nodded and said in agreement: "Since my father-in-law has a life, the son-in-law naturally does not dare to disobey the order, but in this way, the Honglu Temple is ......."

"Don't worry, the old man will send you another person, and he will definitely satisfy the virtuous son-in-law, then you can have a good time teaching and educating people, hahaha." Uncle Lee laughed and rode away. Throwing such a sentence sounds like it doesn't taste right, but if you throw it in your head at any time, it's a big deal to continue my job as Uncle Li said.

However, it is not enough to be for others, for the country, and for the people, I also have to plan for myself and for the Fang family, so that I can be worthy of my identity, worthy of my father, and cultivate and cultivate my successors. Whether it is Li Shu as a princess, or Cheng Luanluan, or the palace maid's sister or Green Butterfly, when I am not there, as long as they have free time, they all have a tacit understanding to come to the new mansion to teach them various crafts, whether it is piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, or arithmetic. They are all smart people, well, selected from more than 10,000 refugees, at least they all know what it means to be good or bad, teach patiently, and learn attentively.

What I teach them now is only some superficial, equivalent to the fifth or sixth grade of primary school in later generations, but the teaching equipment here is definitely the most sophisticated and excellent on the earth, not to mention any prisms, telescopes, and even a microscope, but the work is still very rough, and the multiples are very low, but at least it can magnify something as thick as a hair so that people can see the scaly structure on it.

The world in their eyes seems so different, they have a lot of doubts, even confused, some I give answers, but more I only tell them the results, the process needs them to find their own, just like when I led the student interest group, the birth of every new teaching tool is related to the children's seemingly innocent, but contains sensible questions, such as this microscope.

Because of the success of the development of mirrors, as well as the success of lead glass, all this can be turned into reality.

However, in addition to educating these students at home, and sometimes helping the princes consolidate their learning foundations, the number of new students sent to Honglu Temple really surprised me, a full hundred students, five times more than the students taught last time.

---------------------------------------------------- and a two-eyed arrogant and untamed expression, all of them are a bunch of characters with their nostrils facing the sky, and Lao Tzu almost wanted to pick up the big stick and drop them all to the ground. He Zheng, who was on the side, hurriedly cleared his throat and said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also here." ”

"Huh? What is he doing?! I raised my head, only to find that Li Zhifang, who was following at the back of the line, dismounted and walked towards this side. Unexpectedly, it was this guy who led the team to send people today.

His Royal Highness Li Zhi, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, and his subordinates: Wang Yifang, who joined the army in the Liao Palace, has now been seized from the throne of Jin under His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and replaced with a throne with more political significance and value: King Liao.

I was thinking about having a meal before talking to these young people with eyes above the top, but now, Li Zhi jumped in front of me, and I couldn't scold the street in front of the Tang Prince, so I only stepped forward and saluted depressedly: "Chen Fangjun has seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"If the teacher invites him, how can the student receive the teacher's gift. It should be the teacher who is worshiped by the students, and the student Li Zhi and the hundreds of students of the Guozijian have seen the teacher. Li Zhi came to me, helped me up affectionately, and then quietly squeezed his eyes at me, and then Shi Shiran bowed to me, and the group of students behind him could only bow their heads to me with a look of displeasure.

I picked up Li Zhi and whispered in his ear, "Why did you send them?" ”

Li Zhi rolled his eyes helplessly: "Are you willing to do it?" It's not that Old Man Kong doesn't want to meet you, and he thinks that His Majesty is disrespecting his academic methods by handing over his students to you, this son is sulking with my father, I won't come? Who wants to come? No one is suitable. Fortunately, I am your student, otherwise my father would not have asked me to take over this errand. I'm afraid you'll think ......."

Watching Li Zhi's mouth open and close in front of my eyes. I can't help but feel numb on my scalp, my eyes are straight, obedient, Uncle Li is too ruthless, no matter how you look at this move, it looks like I'm looking for my son!
