Chapter 545: What's the Matter?
Zhang Yang was the last to walk to the leading guard and came to the gate of the camp, where Cen Wenwen was talking to the guards in front of the camp.
After turning over and dismounting, a soldier immediately came to help lead the horse. Looking at the other party's courteous smile, Zhang Yang also smiled in return.
After some explanation, after someone went back to report, Li Daliang came to greet him in person.
"Three of you, please come in." Cen Wenwen and Chu Suiliang saluted together and walked into the army. Zhang Yang also walked in the rear.
Looking at the camp here, there is still a difference between the army and the last time, at least there are no idle soldiers sitting on the ground in groups and gossiping.
The floor is much cleaner, too. Cen Wenwen looked around: "Dare to ask the general, where is the money given by the court used?" Li Daliang walked all the way,
"I bought some cooking utensils and hired a few masters."
"Dare to ask where the general's master is?" Li Daliang pointed to the other side of the camp,
"The Master is teaching them to read and write, one hour a day every morning." Zhang Yang raised his eyes and saw that three or five masters were lecturing the soldiers in batches.
Cen Wenwen frowned and looked at the situation in front of him, the invited master was indeed lecturing, but the soldiers who listened to the lecture were drowsy one by one, and some even fell asleep on the ground on the spot.
Chu Suiliang's expression was also not good, and he turned his head to look at Zhang Yang behind him, the money was given by Shangshu Province. If you want to say that the Master is teaching, he is indeed teaching.
What it is taught is another matter. If it's just for show, the money will be wasted.
It is not in line with the expected wind and horses, not only is the money spent in vain, but it may also make the military in a worse situation in the DPRK and China in the future.
The people's livelihood is necessary, and strengthening the army must not be slackened. Zhang Yang coughed his throat,
"General, what is the result of our teaching exams in the future, and how about letting Brother Wen handle this matter?" Chu Suiliang nodded and said: "The court is nervous, and every penny spent must produce results. Cen Wen nodded,
"In the future, the teachers and sons in the army can be arranged." Li Daliang hurriedly stepped forward and shouted: "What do they look like!" Give the old man his spirit, the old man's face has been lost by you! Zhang Yang added: "You can assign an assignment every day for the soldiers to do questions or learn articles. ”
"Yes!" Li Daliang shouted when he heard this: "I have listened to the old man, and every time I finish the class in the future, I will write my homework for the old man!" If you can't write well......" After a pause in listening to the general's words, Zhang Yang added: "If you don't write well, you will be punished for tidying up housekeeping, the stable and thatched toilet in the army, washing clothes and corporal punishment!" Li Daliang nodded when he heard this, and said loudly: "Listen to it!" Whoever can't write well will wash the stables and toilets in the army! Wash clothes and wave a big Mo knife for the old man in the school field for a day. ”
After "......" finished speaking, Li Daliang said again: "Is there anything else?" ”
"......" Zhang Yang looked back at Chu Suiliang and Cen Wenwen,
"What do you think so?" Teaching must also be effective, and it has always been a headache for the military guards to be illiterate and unable to read articles.
His Majesty has also said more than once that all the killers in the army are illiterate and very unbearable. In the concept of everyone, everyone in the Weifu Mansion only needs to have the strength and courage to rush into battle and fight.
In fact, this is not the case, but all famous generals are well-read. If the army is full of illiterate people, they can only train reckless men, not real generals.
Marching to fight a war requires not only mastery of geography, but also an understanding of climate change. The amount of knowledge required is definitely not less than that of ordinary literati.
Once a war begins, it is necessary to consider the right time and place. Understanding the local climate at that time also requires the help of topography, so as to increase the chances of winning a battle.
The so-called soldier bears a nest of bears. What a team of soldiers and horses looks like has a lot to do with the generals who lead the team.
At this moment, the soldiers all sat upright, listening intently to the master's explanation. Cen Wenwen nodded,
"In this way, there is some climate, and it will be maintained in the future, and people will be sent every other month to test the results of the school." Li Daliang nodded heavily,
"That's nature." The leading guards are very large, and the scale is not less than the elite left and right guards in the army. Li Daliang took the three of them to explain how much money was spent in the army and where the money was spent.
When he came to the barracks, Zhang Yang looked at the mess here,
"General, what about cleaning?" Li Daliang raised his eyes and looked,
"Isn't it pretty clean outside?" Zhang Yang said again: "The barracks should also be cleaned up, if it has been messy, it will give people a very decadent feeling." ”
"Makes sense." Li Daliang beckoned to the soldiers on the side and ordered: "When they come back from the class, hand it over to the old man to clean up here, but if the place is not clean, the old man will be served by military law." ”
"Whoa." The barracks was filled with a peculiar smell, and Zhang Yang walked out covering his nose. Chu Suiliang said again: "Let's see after an hour, can we clean it up within an hour?" The soldier replied, "You must pack it up." A few people left the barracks, and Li Daliang also invited a few doctors to treat the soldiers in the army, especially the veterans who had been on the battlefield several times, more or less had some old injuries or stubborn diseases over the years.
Cen Wenwen and Chu Suiliang walked ahead, pointing at some of the furnishings and placements in the camp. Zhang Yang followed behind and instructed: "General, when the soldiers can familiarize themselves with the articles, they must also teach them some essentials in the art of war, and some knowledge of emergency first aid. At present, Li Daliang is a little entangled in Zhang Yang's instructions,
"It takes a lot of effort to make those people kill talents, and they can't be allowed to do anything." Zhang Yang held his hands and nodded,
"It's a bit harsh, even if it's not well learned...... That's at least a little bit of understanding. ”
"The old man will arrange it."
"What has His Royal Highness the King of Shu been doing lately?"
"The king of Shu himself brought a team of thirty soldiers and horses, and he has taken them out to practice at this moment, and he will come back after noon."
"I see." Chu Suiliang and Cen Wenwen inspected the army, and after recording the situation here and the future arrangements, they rode back to Chang'an City.
I was in a hurry when I came, but I could have been slower when I returned to the city. Zhang Yang asked the horse to follow slowly, took out the buns he brought from home and ate them without a bite, and it was considered lunch.
"Zhang Shilang, when you go back to Chang'an City and drink together, why eat dry food."
"Brother Chu, the next Qianniu Wei will not go, and I will go back to Shangshu Province." Cen Wenwen said with a smile: "Now that Zhang Shilang is in the middle of the court, Brother Chu should not embarrass him." Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Brother Wen is reasonable, let's take a step first." Before arriving at Chang'an City, the soldiers saw that the horse had returned, and said, "This war horse will be given to Zhang Shilang." Zhang Yang held the reins in one hand and comforted the horses,
"This is the war horse in your army, how can I ask for it."
"General Wei Chi said, this war horse has a strong temperament, and it is not easy to control it, and now Zhang Shilang can tame him, it is better to take it away, and there is no one in the army to use." The horse also put his head on his arm, as if he was still begging for appeasement, Zhang Yang made a mistake: "Then please take it to Lishan." ”
"Whoa." He entered the city, refused Cen Wenwen and Chu Suiliang's invitation to eat and drink, and walked back to Suzaku Gate alone.
Again in Shangshu Province, a group of children are eating here. Zhang Yang walked quickly into the main hall, and there were several documents on the table.
When Li Lizhi was eating, she put down the bowl and quickly explained: "My brother-in-law has already arranged it." Zhang Yang sat down and picked up the piece and watched,
"You eat first."
"Hmm." Li Lizhi obediently sat down on the side and continued to eat. After most of the canatas arrive in Menxia Province, they will be selected and divided into six parts, and each ministry will hand over the cantata to Zhongshu Province or directly to His Majesty, and after the approval of most of the six cantatas, they will be handed over to Zhongshu Province.
The notes on the use of silver coins were also handed over to the province of Shangshu. Zhang Yang carefully looked through the recital, which was sent from the Hexi Corridor and was also written by Di Zhixun.
In addition to the construction of the Hexi Corridor, preparations are also underway to plant poplar trees to green the construction of a sand control forest in the Hexi Corridor in the coming year.
Last month, a civil unrest broke out in Tibet, because Songtsen Gampo built the Potala Palace, and the construction of the Hexi Corridor also needed the idle labor force of Tibet, and to participate in the construction of the Hexi Corridor, money was given.
This is better than the construction of the Potala Palace for Songtsen Gampo, which not only has no money but is also tired to death, and the work in the Hexi Corridor is better.
Compared with the two sides, many people prefer to go to Hexi. However, this matter was stopped by Songtsen Gampo, he is a person with a strategy, and he must understand what the intention of the construction of Jiayuguan is.
The construction of the Hexi Corridor in the Central Plains is like putting a knife on the neck of the Western Regions and Tibet. Once the construction of the Hexi Corridor is completed, even if the Central Plains really grasps this important land, it will be easier for the Tang Dynasty to send troops to the Western Regions or Tubo in the future, and it will be even more difficult for Tubo to attack the Tang Dynasty.
In terms of the control of labor, Songtsen Gampo had conflicts with many tribes. Fortunately, he was appeased by the older generation of Tibet.
In the end, Songtsen Gampo is still the Zanpu of Tibet, although he suffered defeat, no matter how he says, it is the orthodoxy of Tibet.
Zhang Yang took out a bun from his arms and continued to look at the music. After several times of lobbying, Songtsen Gampo still took out 5,000 manpower to send to the Hexi Corridor to build the Hexi Corridor.
Judging from Di Zhison's recital, the actual labor force in the Hexi Corridor was not only 5,000, but more than 10,000.
Most of them come spontaneously. It can also be seen that after lobbying last year, the Tubo people have a higher degree of identification with the Central Plains, allowing the Central Plains books and Central Plains culture to enter Tibet, and cultivating a group of people who firmly advocate the Central Plains.
Thus weakening the control of Songtsen Gampo over Tibet. Economically, this is a very cost-effective deal, with the minimum price in exchange for the hearts of the people of Tibet, and then give the benefits that can really be obtained, naturally some people are happy to do it.
This is the first step of the Tang Dynasty to recover Tibet, and it is also the most economical step. The clansmen surnamed Zhaowu Jiu were taken down, and An Yanyan finally sold grain to Guanzhong honestly, and it took him a month to sell a thousand stone of grain to many nobles in the Western Regions.
This person has many merchants from the Western Regions in his hands, and there are many channels for buying and selling, which are all needed by the DPRK.
Counting Gaochang's soldiers and horses in the Western Turks, Yehu Khan of the Western Regions lost the supplier surnamed Zhaowu Jiu, and could only ask Gaochang for grain instead, buying 5,000 stone at a time.
On the contrary, under the mutual market of the Hexi Corridor, the buying and selling of grain is not very popular, and it is all old grain, and if it is not for urgent use, it will not buy too much.
Di Zhixon wanted to use these old grains to make wine, and the wine was the best to sell in the Western Regions, so he wrote a piece of music that needed to be approved by the court.
He had long said to the court that the wine would be brewed and sold out, and the eldest grandson Wuji was worried that once the sold wine returned to Guanzhong, it would affect the price of wine and food in Guanzhong.
Zhang Yang wrote a dumping strategy,
"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, please send this piece to your father."
"Whoa." Li Zhi came in a hurry, took the piece and left. Looking at the other pieces, most of them are pieces that require money.
Waiting for the next supplies to be delivered by Xue Yantuo, and waiting for the Uighur war situation, it rained again in the sky, and the rain carried down with ice particles.
Zhang Yang and a group of children sat in front of the official residence and watched the rain. From tall to short, the ten children sat in a row, and the thought of being a brother-in-law planning for so many children was also a big head.
Gao Yang stood up and was about to run into the rain, Zhang Yang said in a deep voice: "Princess Gao Yang, you will get sick in the rain, and if you are sick, you won't be able to eat delicious food, and your mouth will be tasteless and uncomfortable." Hearing what his brother-in-law said, Gao Yang sat back obediently again.
Li Lizhi smiled when she saw this, Gao Yang is the most naughty among the children, she usually dares to refute even her father's words, but she is honest in front of her brother-in-law.
Just because the brother-in-law has a very high status in the hearts of his younger siblings, no one dares to disobey, because the brother-in-law can cook a lot of delicious food and play with his younger siblings.
"Brother-in-law, will the little bear get sick?" Dongyang sat on the stone steps and looked at the rain scene in front of him.
Zhang Yang said in a low voice: "Its body is very strong, its immunity is also very strong, and it can also tolerate cold, even if we are all sick from the cold, it will not get sick." "The children also grew up watching the bear cub grow up together, and they have different feelings for this bear, it is not an animal, it is a rare playmate for children.
Although the bear didn't want to see these children, it was a one-sided favorite of the children. The rain rained for two hours before it finally stopped.
The heavy clouds in the sky finally dispersed, and some sunlight shone through the gaps in the clouds, and you could even see the sunlight in a column, extending in the other direction.
Zhang Yang stretched his waist and stood up again,
"When you go home, remember to clean and close the door."
"Wow......" A group of children agreed in unison, and the end was very long. When he walked out of Shangshu Province, he happened to meet Zheng Gong.
"Gong Zheng, it's been a long time." Zhang Yang arched his hand.
"It's approaching the end of the year, even if there are still unfinished business, you have to wait for the next year to be busy, and you can rest after you are busy with the things in hand."
"That's right." Wei Zheng took out another piece of music,
"This is a piece sent by Luoyang, and it was Sun Fujia who brought you to impeach." Zhang Yang took the recital and was puzzled: "I have never had any grievances with Sun Shaoqing, why did he impeach me?" ”
"He said that the braised pork in Lishan is sold cheaply in Chang'an City, but the price in Luoyang has increased several times, affecting people's livelihood." Zhang Yang looked at the concert and felt a toothache again,
"My braised pork has risen in price, what's the matter with him?"
