Chapter 157: Recruitment
"Lord Du Wei is humble, this time to burn the grain and grass of the Xirong dog thief, thanks to Lord Du Wei's wisdom and martial arts, if it weren't for Lord Du Wei, we would not have been able to burn the dog thief's grain and grass last night......"
Yang Jingzhong said with admiration about the attack on Xirong's camp last night.
The Xirong army guarded the granary very strictly, and with their skills and the number of people, they couldn't get close to it, let alone burn the granary.
They just did something to attract the attention of the Xirong army, and the burning of the granary was completely done by Lu Shiyan and Jiang Tangtang.
In addition to this, there was also a way to the camp of Xijon, and later to retreat. The road that Lu Shiyan took them was much closer than they knew, which also bought them more time to complete the task.
Yang Jingzhong now admires Lu Shiyan so much that he is full of admiration.
In addition to Yang Jingzhong, Xu Kun and others, who were suspicious of Lu Shiyan before, were also very convinced of Lu Shiyan.
Zhang Kui was also full of excitement. He is not a strong person, and after serving as a taishou in the poor place of Puzhou, he has not moved for many years, and he is not rich under his rule.
But although he is not very capable, he is better than self-knowledge.
Seeing everyone's belief in Lu Shiyan, he did not become jealous and began to make stupid moves, but respected Lu Shiyan more and more, discussed everything with Lu Shiyan, and asked everyone below to listen to Lu Shiyan.
After settling the wounded, Lu Shiyan said to Zhang Kui: "Although the grain and grass of Xirong have been burned, the ambition of the Xirong people, like this, is not enough to make them retreat. ”
Zhang Kui was suddenly anxious, "What should I do then?" ”
Lu Shiyan said: "Recruit troops, first expand the troops, and then strengthen protection, so that Xirong can't attack." Now that there are refugees everywhere, it should not be difficult to recruit soldiers. As for protection, I have a few ways to easily strengthen the walls and enhance the protection. ”
Zhang Kui's eyes lit up suddenly, indicating that he was listening to Lu Shiyan.
Lu Shiyan talked carefully about conscription and other matters.
Jiang Tangtang was in the room at this time, excitedly watching last night's harvest.
Ordinary soldiers in the army eat coarse grains, so coarse grains are the majority of the space. But in addition to the coarse grains eaten by ordinary soldiers, the military rations were also prepared for the fine grains eaten by senior officers.
Especially this time, the main general will be the second prince of Xirong, in addition to fine grains, there are also fine foods such as bacon wine, and there are also a lot of medicinal materials such as gold sore medicine.
Jiang Tangtang planned to stay, but these medicines were of little use to her, so she planned to give them to Lu Shiyan and let him arrange them.
just waited in the room for a while, but Lu Shiyan didn't come over. After learning that Lu Shiyan was talking to Zhang Kui, he was out of time for a while, so he decided to go outside first.
Liu Chengfeng knows her true identity, where dare she go out alone!
immediately called Erzhu together and followed Jiang Tangtang out of the door.
This is the first time to visit an ancient city after Jiang Tangtang crossed. Unlike the modern man-made town, this is a real old town.
When she used to travel, she felt that it was not interesting to visit the man-made ancient town too much.
It's all about the same house, the same layout, and then put all kinds of gadgets on the table, as well as all kinds of food. Everyone opened and took pictures, and then spent several times the price to buy some Yiwu wholesale goods in major scenic spots.
But now that she has arrived in the real ancient town, she has found that she used to be a little in the blessing and did not know the blessing.
This real ancient city looks really desolate.
Even if there are few people on the streets, there are many houses that are dilapidated.
She was a little distracted.
"Do you know where the blacksmith is?"
Liu Chengfeng said: "Madame wants to see the iron tools that the adults helped you beat?" ”
Jiang Tangtang turned his head, looked at him and said, "You know? ”
Liu Chengfeng hooked his body slightly and said, "Adults have a lot of affairs to be busy with, so leave the matter of ironsmithing to me."
I went to the old blacksmith in the west of the city, and I heard that he was very good at his craft, and that people in the countryside used to look for him when they were repairing farm tools.
But now that it's a mess outside, he doesn't have much business, so I told him to hurry up.
Thinking about the few kinds of iron tools that Madame wants to beat, it should not be long before they can be made, but Madame wants to go over and have a look? ”
Jiang Tangtang nodded, "Take me over to have a look!" ”
The blacksmith shop in the west of the city is not too far away, and a few people did not go back to arrange the carriage, so they walked to the blacksmith shop in the west of the city while strolling.
On the way, he saw a grain shop, and Jiang Tangtang went in to take a look.
Liu Chengfeng followed behind and asked about the price of grain by the way. After hearing the shopkeeper's answer, he almost didn't bite his tongue, "It's only been a few days, and the grain has actually tripled?" ”
The shopkeeper sighed, "There's really no way!" In the past two years, the year has not been good, the harvest has not been good, the price of grain is already high, and now there is still a war, isn't the price of grain even higher? The price will be high, and you will have to buy it, and if it goes on like this, you will not be able to buy food even if you carry the silver. ”
Liu Chengfeng sighed. I was secretly glad in my heart, thanks to his cleverness, I followed Lu Shiyan, otherwise, I don't know what happened now!
Jiang Tangtang thought about the food in the space, and felt relieved. At the same time, her heart once again ignited a raging fighting spirit, she wants to do a good job, earn a lot of career points, expand the space, upgrade, and install more things.
"Let's go, let's go to the blacksmith's shop." She turned around and walked to the west of the city in high spirits.
Liu Chengfeng looked at Jiang Tangtang's straight back, and always felt that this delicate lady seemed to have changed.
Not only Liu Chengfeng felt it, but Lin Erzhu also felt it, and whispered: "Big brother, Madam seems to have become different from before." ”
Liu Chengfeng gave him a warning look and motioned for him not to talk nonsense behind his back.
Lu Shiyan's ability, they all saw it. And at such a dangerous moment yesterday, Lu Shiyan deliberately took Jiang Tangtang to the side.
Although he didn't understand the reason, he felt that although Lu Shiyan doted on Jiang Tangtang, he was not a foolish person who didn't distinguish between major things. There must be a reason why he asked Jiang Tangtang to follow.
Jiang Tangtang must also have great skills, but they don't know it.
Receiving the warning look, Lin Erzhu hurriedly closed his mouth obediently and honestly protected Jiang Tangtang's safety.
Soon, several people came to the blacksmith's shop.
The blacksmith's eldest son saw Liu Chengfeng and hurriedly said, "Little brother, are you here to see the ironware?" This is my father's overnight work yesterday, you can see this way. ”
He limped as he walked, but his hands were strong, and a modified iron plough was easily lifted by one hand.
Jiang Tangtang looked at the strength of his hands, and thought of his feet, and couldn't help but show a trace of regret.
"This is Li Jun." Liu Chengfeng saw Jiang Tangtang's expression, and said more by the way, "Li Zhuangshi was also a soldier before, but he was injured on the battlefield later, and it was inconvenient to go to the battlefield again, so he came back to help his father strike iron and run a blacksmith shop."
This time, many families fled, but the Li family did not move. Li Zhuangshi said that if Xirong came to attack the city, he would also go to the city gate to do his part. ”
For a fleshy man like Li Jun, Liu Chengfeng respects and admires him from the bottom of his heart.
In these troubled times, many people want to survive. It is really rare for someone like him, who has already injured his leg, and can do his part regardless of life and death.
As far as he is concerned, he follows Lu Shiyan, and he is mostly based on interests, and he is afraid that he will not be able to do Li Jun like this in his life.
