The second floor of the Tianming Pavilion.

Liu Chun took Jia Lu to the outside of an accord and gently knocked on the door twice, then pushed the door open, like Jia Lu made a gesture to invite in, and then stood at the door.

Although he had adjusted his mentality all the way, Jia Lu still felt a little nervous in his heart.

When I walked in, I saw a middle-aged man of thirty-five or sixteen years old dressed as a rich family member sitting in the right seat, and behind the man stood a white-faced and beardless attendant who was slightly bent down and bowed his head.

For some reason, Jia Lu could feel at first glance that the attendant was a eunuch, so the identity of the person in front of him was not far from what he had guessed.

Looking at this person's appearance again, it seems that he is really similar to Li Zhaoyue, and he has a domineering temperament.

Seeing that Li Yu was also looking at himself curiously, Jia Lu hurriedly lowered his head and went to Shi Li, "Student Jia Lu has seen ...... Mr. ”

Hearing the word sir, Li Yu couldn't help but be stunned, it seemed that it was the first time someone called himself so big.

"Do you know who I am?" Li Yu asked.

"I don't know ......"

Li Yu raised the corners of his mouth, looked at Jia Lu's expression with interest, and said, "Sit down and talk." ”

Jia Lu said thank you, and sat down on the lower hand seat in a proper manner.

Li Yu said: "You are only fifteen years old this year? ”

"Exactly."

"How did you come up with that compressed military ration?"

Jia Lu said: "I came up with it when I stole steamed buns a few years ago......"

"Stealing...... Stealing steamed buns? Li Yu almost suspected that he had misheard.

Apparently he hadn't heard of any of the gossip in the market.

"Aren't you the grandson of Jia Daishan, the Duke of Rongguo? Why did the young master of Rongguo Mansion steal steamed buns? ”

"Uh...... Because I can't get enough to eat......" Jia Lu's answer was concise and to the point.

Everyone has a gossip heart, and it is obvious that Li Yu is not satisfied with this concise answer.

Jia Lu couldn't, so he had to roughly talk about his life experience and what happened to him after he came out of Rongguo Mansion.

Li Yu still didn't have any expression on his face after hearing this, but he was a little gloomy: "After you won the eucalyptus head in the county test and the fifth place in the government test, they still decided to let you go to the Nine Frontiers?" ”

Although Li Yu also knew that there was a difference between concubines and concubines, such an excellent concubine was still not valued, which made Li Yu feel a little unfair for Jia Lu.

"Mr. Hui's words, I am the only one in my generation in the Rongguo Mansion except for my brother Jia Lian, who is already married, so it is my duty to serve Jia Lu on the border."

Jia Lu's answer was very clever, and he did not complain about Jia Fu's injustice to him, nor did he express his dissatisfaction.

Li Yu hummed and asked, "Go on, what does stealing steamed buns have to do with compressing military rations?" ”

Jia Lu compared a road of steamed buns: "The steamed buns are originally so big, they can be squeezed with force, and they will become so small."

If you press it small, can't you hide a few more in your sleeve? It's a pity that as soon as I let go, the steamed bun slowly returned to its original size.

At that time, I was thinking, if there is a way to make the steamed rice and other things smaller, it will be easy to bring, right? ”

Li Yu was speechless for a while: "That's how you thought of compressing the military rations?" ”

Jia Lu said: "Exactly, later I read the history books and saw hundreds of thousands of troops on expeditions, in order to ensure the supply of logistics grain and grass, they usually had to levy hundreds of thousands of people to be forced to transport, which together was known as a million army.

If we can compress the grain, won't we save a lot of trucks and people who carry grain? ”

Li Yu claimed to be familiar with the scriptures and history, but he never remembered which history book had such a record.

But it was not good for Jia Lu to see that he was lonely, so he had to nod and say, "Sure enough, you have a quick mind and are different from others. ”

Garruk was no longer silent.

He firmly remembered Xue Baochai's words, and he always likes to use his own ideas to persuade others.

It's like getting along with Li Zhaoyue, I just invited her to eat a cup of milk tea, but later, under her deliberate guidance, she said what kind of secret street and compressed military rations, and how much unnecessary trouble she found for herself.

Li Yu saw that Jia Lu was speechless, so he said: "Your compressed military rations can indeed save transportation capacity, but have you ever thought that there is still grain and grass for horses to eat?"

A war horse consumes the equivalent of four soldiers a day.

Could it be that the forage and concentrate that the war horses eat every day can also be compressed? ”

"The students had never fed the horses, so they didn't dare to talk nonsense. However, it seems that compressed military rations can also be fed as concentrate for war horses. ”

Jia Lu originally wanted to say something about green storage fodder, and compressed grass rolls or something, but he held back.

However, Jia Lu was a little hesitant, in addition to compressing the military rations, what else did Li Zhaoyue say to Li Yu?

Do you want to show Li Yu a hand and add some points to yourself?

Regardless of whether you are from literature or martial arts, the fastest shortcut to promotion is to hug the thick legs of the most powerful person in the Dayu Dynasty opposite, right?

Li Yu took a shallow sip of tea and said, "So, although your compressed military food is good, it can only solve the problem of human eating, but it can't solve the problem of horse chewing?" ”

Jia Lu couldn't help but ask, "Isn't the policy of our dynasty stubborn now?" So...... How many horses were there in the border army? How many cavalry? ”

Li Yu frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Although it is now stubborn, if there are any more people who dare to violate my frontier in the Mongolian tribes, they will definitely go deep into the grassland to punish them!" ”

Jia Lu's heart moved, he didn't expect this young emperor to still be a radical main battle faction?

Is it young and vigorous or is the newborn calf not afraid of tigers?

Li Yu seemed to catch Jia Lu's fleeting disdainful expression, and said coldly: "What, don't you think that my Dayu border army is not the opponent of the Mongols?" ”

Jia Lu didn't know how to answer this question for a while, so he had to say with Hanhu: "The student heard that the border army in the military newspaper repelled the nuisance of the Mongols with one as ten. ”

Li Yu snorted coldly and said, "I have already learned the truth about the battle situation from other sources, so I have made up my mind to rectify military affairs and streamline the administration.

This is also the intention of conscripting you and others to enlist in the army.

I know that some children of the family have long been pampered and are not materials for going to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but there are always people who want to make contributions, right?

I will secretly make people stare at these people, and in less than a year, it will be clear which ones are the children of the gentlemen and which are the malleable talents. ”

Jia Lu coughed and said, "Sir, have you ever thought that even if my Dayu border army can compete with the Mongols, it may not be able to take advantage of it when it comes to the grassland?" ”

Let's talk about quietly observing Li Yu's reaction.

Li Yu didn't get angry, but said: "If you have any insights, just say it clearly, is there any reason...... I'll judge. ”

Jia Lu asked, "Sir, have you ever wondered why the Mongols can come and go like the wind without any scruples?" ”
