In addition, there are 500 tractors, which can be used to pull Longyi cannons; There are 5,000 transport vehicles, which can pull ammunition in peacetime, and can also be used as troop carriers when the war needs them.

There are about 20,000 soldiers and drivers in the whole division, and the division commander is Long Xingyun.

In the end, the Dragon Empire after the expansion of troops has nearly 700,000 soldiers, which is definitely a force to be reckoned with. This is also equivalent to the old book in Su Shi's hands, in a short period of time, unless the captured enemy army is activated, otherwise, it is not so easy to expand the army.

After the establishment of an army of 700,000, the number of peasant soldiers in the entire Dragon Empire was less than 100,000, and it can be said that the strength of the army was very weak. But Su Shi was not worried, because he believed that only he was fighting others now, and no one else could show off his might in front of his Dragon Empire.

With a stroke of the pen, Su Shi agreed to this expansion plan and approved a large amount of gold, silver and materials.

The plan is there, the soldiers are there, and the next thing is the training and run-in period, and there will naturally be personnel to do these things, but there is no need for Su Shi, the emperor, to worry about it. All he had to do now was to meet Miao Xiu, a visitor from Zhao Song.

Speaking of which, Miao Xiu has been here for a while, but Su Shi has not had time to meet him, and Zhao Huirou, the concubine of the Xi Concubine, is responsible for the reception.

Miao Xiu is Zhao Huirou's mother's family, and his arrival makes her very happy, especially the nurse Han, who also came with her, which makes her even happier. Just a while ago, when Miao Xiu wanted to go back, she didn't agree.

Considering that the mountain ginseng had already sent someone back, Miao Xiu's task had been completed, so he was not too anxious to go back. To be honest, he prefers to stay in the Dragon Empire.

Compared with the Bianliang City of the Zhao and Song Dynasties, although it does not occupy as much land and has a large population there, it is a little stronger than its prosperity.

There are too many goods that cannot be seen in Bianliang City, and there are many of the dazzling goods that have never been heard of.

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that when Liaoyang Mansion arrives at night, it is lit up everywhere, and the bright street lamps not only illuminate this place as if it were day, but also illuminate the warmth of people's hearts.

The bustling streets are full of feelings of freedom, equality, and fairness.

Here, you don't have to worry about safety at all, not to mention that the peasant patrols that appear at any time are often visible, let's just say that the aunts and uncles with red armbands are even more catchy. Anyone who dares to be a female offender here, often does not wait for any reaction from the yamen, and the official does not appear, such a person will be surrounded by other people, and then tied up with a sturdy.

Good public order has truly achieved the effect of not closing the house at night.

There will be no forced buying and selling here, because once discovered, you will be arrested, no matter what your identity or background, you will be imprisoned if you are caught, and it will be recorded again, and it will be a bad one, there is a stain on the file, and it will be very inconvenient to do anything in the future.

This is true fairness and human freedom.

Walking in such a place, Miao Xiu really didn't want to leave, even if Zhao Huirou warmly invited him, of course he would stay for a little longer.

But now, seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, Miao Xiu knows that he can't leave if he doesn't leave. After all, the Han people still attach great importance to this traditional festival, unless it is a last resort, those who can return to their hometowns still have to return home.

The largest mansion in Liaoyang City, Tokyo, was used as the place where the temporary imperial palace was located, and Su Shi entertained Miao Xiu here.

Speaking of which, it is not the first time that the two have met, but today is different from the past, in the past, Su Shi asked each other to make money in business, but now his status has long been reversed.

"Sit down, don't be so restrained, we're all old friends." When Su Shi came to the main hall, what he saw was the scene of Miao Xiu standing there very nervously.

"Thanks... Your Majesty." Miao Xiu said a little unwisely, after all, calling someone other than Zhao Zhen His Majesty was really a little uncomfortable for a while.

"Hehe, how is it, is there anything you are not used to living here during this time?" Su Shi knew that the other party would be nervous, but he didn't care, so he didn't care

Asked in a homely way.

"Good, everything's fine." Su Shi was casual, Miao Xiu didn't dare to be casual, and hurriedly replied.

"Well, that's fine. If there is anything you are not used to, please feel free to open your mouth and say to Concubine Xi, everyone is counted as their own people, and there is no need to see the outside world so much." Su Shi still said with a smile.

"Yes, yes." Miao Xiu kept nodding.

What he said wasn't a lie, in fact, he was used to staying here, and although it was a little cold outside, he would be fine with more clothes. The important thing is that as soon as you return to the room, the electric heater will be plugged in, and it will be as warm as the spring sun, which is really refreshing.

"Well, His Majesty Renzong is okay, and His Royal Highness King Jing is okay." Su Shi nodded, thought of something, and asked softly.

Speaking of which, this is the point of Su Shi wanting to see Miao Xiu.

Although Su Shi is not in Bianliang, he also knows some information about it. Lian Tiexin, who was originally from the secret spy department, first arrested Ye Lengchan with Gao Dehai, and then was cleaned up by Su Shi and surrendered. In the following time, after the body was healed, he stayed in Zhao Song, and buried the White Lotus Holy Lord Xie Chuanyun a while ago, which can be regarded as making up for his mistakes. The present person stayed in Bianliang City and inquired about the situation there.

According to what Lian Tiexin said, Zhao Yunrang, the great sect leader and privy envoy, has developed his power very quickly in recent years, and Su Shi wants to meet with Miao Xiu this time, just thinking of saying something to let him remind Zhao Zhen and Zhao Xi father and son.

"It's all good, His Royal Highness King Jing has been studying in the palace, and listening to the gentleman inside, His Royal Highness has worked very hard."

"Your Majesty's health is also slowly improving, and everything is developing in a better direction." Miao Xiu opened his mouth and told all the facts he knew.

"yes, okay." Su Shi nodded as if he was very satisfied, but he really didn't believe these words at all.

When he left Bianliang City, he deliberately left Zhao Yun without killing, in order to see him make trouble in Zhao Song.

Soon after he left, Zhao Zhen fell ill and was bedridden, so Su Shi didn't believe that Zhao Yunrang would not seize this opportunity and would not take the opportunity to do something.

Miao Xiu didn't say it, it's not that he really wanted to deceive himself, it should be that his level is not enough, plus he is Miao Guifei's relative, with this relationship, Zhao Yunrang has been guarding against him, and there are some things he doesn't know.

Since even Miao Xiu didn't know, Su Shi was very suspicious that Zhao Zhen would not know.

Otherwise, when Miao Xiu came to the Dragon Empire, Zhao Zhen would not have vomited at all.

And if Zhao Zhen doesn't know, I have to say that this Zhao Yunrang still has some ability. Thinking of this, Su Shi sighed, the wheel of history is really not so easy to change, at least in the identity of the next emperor of Zhao Song Jiangshan, I am afraid that it will still follow history.

"That Miao Xiu, after going back to see Renzong, I still have to remind him, I just need to tell him one word, in this world, don't easily believe in the good of others, and the power must be in your own hands."

"Huh? Oh, okay." Miao Xiu first raised his head in confusion, and then nodded again.

To be honest, he didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence. It's just that since Su Shi asked him to tell it, he just told it.

"Hehe, okay, there's no need to be so nervous, how to say that we are also our own people, if there is really something that can't be solved in the future, you can go to Tongtianfang, the largest cloth shop in Bianliang City, and the people there will do their best to help you with your help."

Su Shi saw that this Miao Xiu was still a kind person, and thought that the cooperation with the Miao family had been quite pleasant, besides, something must have happened to the Miao family, and this was not the result that Zhao Huirou wanted to see, so Su Shi deliberately mentioned the other party.

"Remember, it's a secret, don't tell anyone else. Don't use this place unless it's urgent and you can't do it." Next, Su Shi added this sentence very solemnly.

Tongtianfang is Long Yin's stronghold in Bianliang City, that

There are a lot of good players in it.

It is impossible to use these people to change the situation of Zhao Song, but if it is only to protect the lives of a few people, I think there is still no problem.

"Yes, the villain wrote it down." Miao Xiu saw that Su Shi was so serious, and he nodded again and again, and remembered the name Tongtianfang deeply in his mind.

......

Time flies, time flies.

In a blink of an eye, it was the second year of Tianwu, March 1053 AD.

When the earth is civilized and the spring flowers are blooming, a great happy event is ushered in in the Dragon Empire.

Seriously, not one, but three.

It is the three daughters of the Dragon Empire, Lu Siqiao, Concubine Hui, Yue Siling, and Concubine Zhao Huirou, who are all pregnant.

All three daughters were pregnant at one time, which was definitely a great joy. For this reason, after the Empress Dowager Zhao Fei'er learned the news, she rushed from the original imperial capital to Liaoyang City, Tokyo, as soon as possible, personally watched the three daughters and took care of their diet and daily life.

After Zhao Fei'er married the Su family, she just gave birth to a boy like Su Shi, which has always been a matter of regret to her. It's just that my body has not been very good, and it is also helpless.

Now that it is okay, even if Su Shi can stand up again and his body is so healthy, the matter of strengthening the heirs of the Su family will naturally be handed over to his son.

Su Shi got married before, but there was no movement in the stomachs of several daughters-in-law, which really worried her for a while. Well, now, since the three daughters are pregnant, they must be taken care of in every possible way, and there must be no problems.
