The next day, although Nangong Anshan had insomnia the night before, she still woke up very early the next day, and as soon as she woke up, she went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast with the next people.

After the family eats breakfast, it is time to rest, and it is time to read a book.

What made her happy was that Nangong Sheng and Nangong Xiu had planned to attend a day's class, but Ji Weihao was also a knowledgeable person, and he was humorous and funny in class.

Not only to teach him to read and write, but also to teach him what he sees and hears in books or in life, which can make people learn a lot of things.

Although Nangong Sheng and Nangong Xiu used to follow people to read and write, they only learned to read and write, and they didn't learn anything else, so after Ji Weihao started class, they have been studying with their younger siblings, and they have not fallen behind for a day.

Before the lunch, Zitian and Ziyun also came back, and like before, they also brought back two prey, and she also asked people to send one to the backyard of the oil mill to provide food to people from other villages.

Now the weather is cold and freezing, and it is not suitable for clearing the wasteland, even if the wasteland is cleared, it will be frozen again after a while.

When the ice melts, the ground has to be turned over again.

So she asked the people who worked in the fields to basically work in the greenhouses during this time, so that it could be warmer.

It's just that today's Zitian is a little abnormal, in the past, Zitian came back before noon, and he would definitely wait until after noon, eat something and leave, but today he left as soon as he came back.

Nangong Anshan didn't think much about it, and sent someone to deal with the wild boar.

At the same time, the Liwang Mansion.

King Li said with a solemn face: "This king has received the news that King Yong has now decided to attack us as soon as the weather is warm next year." Now each fief has its own policy, many of them have the intention of establishing themselves as emperors, if other fiefs hear the rumors, in order to annex the land of Liwang's fiefdom, it is very likely to cooperate with King Yong and attack us together. ”

General He said: "Lord Wang, has it been decided?" ”

"It's decided." King Li said: "According to the news I received, the weather is cold now, although many fiefdoms have ceased fighting, but they have not withdrawn their troops, and many people are standing still. Taking advantage of the fact that it is now a time for farming, all fiefdoms are recruiting troops and horses, stepping up drills, and waiting for the war to start next year and be able to go to the battlefield. ”

General Qin said: "Now is indeed a good time to practice, and our soldiers are also practicing every day, but the weather is cold, and there are soldiers who are frostbitten every day, and there are sick people, it is a good time to practice, but it is not very suitable for drills." ”

King Li said: "The soldiers under this king, and now the soldiers in various counties and counties combined, there are also hundreds of thousands, as long as the other fiefs do not attack us together, the number of people can be dealt with, but in terms of weapons, there is a big problem." ”

General Chai said: "Lord Wang, you are right, there are most of the things in Liwang's fiefdom, but only the iron ore used as weapons has not been found so far. ”

"Yes." King Li said: "The most important thing now is the issue of weapons. We have iron ore in the fief of King Ming next door, and we were friendly with him before, and every year he sold us several batches of iron ore, but since there was chaos everywhere, he sent a message that he wanted to protect himself first, and he would not sell us iron ore. ”

General Chai was shocked: "In other words, if we increase the number of soldiers now, then I am afraid that the soldiers in the future will have no weapons to use?" ”

King Li sighed and said, "Yes, I also asked about other fiefdoms, but they all said that they want to keep it for themselves, and it is impossible for us to do it. ”

General Qin said: "This situation is not very good, if there is a real war next year, the enemy only needs to attack us from weapons, then we will have no power to resist." ”

"yes." King Li said: "I asked you to come over today, mainly for this matter, if this matter is not resolved, the king's fief is in danger." ”

Dugu Huanxu thought for a moment, got up and said: "Father, why don't we send people to the mountains to investigate the situation now, the scope of our fief is larger than that of King Ming, I don't believe that King Ming's fief has it, we will not have it here." ”

General He said: "Yes, as long as we find iron ore, we will no longer be controlled by others in the future, Weichen also agrees, and also sends people around, we have a lot of people, I don't believe that we can't find it." ”

General Qin and General Chai also said: "Weichen also means this. ”

King Li said: "Okay, you just send someone to find it, but now there is ice and snow everywhere, and it is not very easy to find it, so let the people who go to find it still focus on their own safety, don't get frostbite." ”

Although he had sent someone out to look for him before, he had never found it, but this time he might be able to find it.

"Yes."

Liwang said again: "Okay, let's move on to the next topic, which is also what General Qin just mentioned, this year's weather is much colder than in previous years, the soldiers come out for training every day, and someone will be injured, and I have tried to reduce the difficulty of training before, but the soldiers will be slack, and they will often be defeated during the simulation, and when the time comes, they will only be sent to death, I don't know if you have a way to solve this problem." ”

Dugu Huanxu said: "I also know something about this situation, in fact, the clothes worn by the soldiers are too thin, which freezes their bodies and makes them move less flexibly than usual, so they are easy to get injured." In fact, this matter is easy to say, but it is also difficult to say. It's nothing more than letting them wear thicker, but if they wear too thick, they will still have difficulty moving, and if hundreds of thousands of troops change their clothes at the same time, it is estimated that they will need a lot of wool, and military spending will increase a lot. ”

"His Royal Highness is right." General He said: "According to the calculation of 200 yuan per soldier, an army of 500,000 needs 100,000 taels of silver. ”

King Li said: "Everyone, do you think this money should be used?" ”

Dugu Huanxu said: "Father, naturally it is necessary to use it, and the money can be earned, but the soldiers are injured or slack off in practice, but it is a matter of life, I think I can use it." ”

The three generals said at the same time: "Weichen seconded the proposal." ”

"Okay." King Li said: "This king will allocate 100,000 taels of silver, and this matter will be handed over to ......."

"Father." Dugu Huanxu said: "Ah Shan still has a lot of cotton there, why don't I buy some cotton from her and wear it for those injured soldiers, so that they can have a better time in winter." ”

"Although the cotton is not enough for hundreds of thousands of troops, it can be mixed in the wadding, which is much better than clothes made only from the wadding."

"As for the 100,000 taels of silver, it's from my private treasury, I have also made a lot of money in the past few months by relying on Ah Shan, and it's time to use it."
