Speaking of this time, Li Bochen really had some interest in talking, and said: "Mr. Meng, since you want to be a martial artist, haven't you ever thought about going to martial arts before?"

Meng Peiyong smiled bitterly: "Oh, Junhou, art is a new thing, I can't do it at my age." ”

Li Bochen couldn't help but laugh. Meng Peiyong is only in his thirties, how can he be called an old man? However, it is true that art is a new thing, and it has only been more than ten years. The atmosphere in the art is also more open, and when I was in the Sui Kingdom, I heard that men and women mixed together in the snow, which was immoral.

But listening to Meng Peiyong's tone, he seemed to want to go too, but he didn't have the courage or opportunity.

Li Bochen thought about it seriously - in fact, the technique of the mechanism is really important, but the people in this world, at least at this time, did not pay attention to it to a certain extent.

For example, in the Infinite Army and even in the Six Nations Army, the core of the battle array is always the cultivator. Except for him, most of the commanders in the Immeasurable Army in the past were in the Qi Cultivation Realm, and when they arrived on the battlefield, the battle revolved around the core of the main general. The Qi Cultivation Realm cultivators marched forward bravely under the escort of a group of personal soldiers, and the rest of the ordinary soldiers and even the armored chariots were all serving this core.

This method of warfare naturally has its shortcomings - the main general charges ahead, or is in the middle of the battle group, and the command is greatly ineffective. Although most of the generals at the level of the command will press the formation in the rear, but if they really encounter a difficult bone to gnaw, the commander will also go forward.

But there's no way around it. The existence of cultivation and magic spells makes the difference in individual strength extremely large, if no one restrains it, a second-order demon beast can rush back and forth in the battle group unscrupulously, no matter how good the tactics are, there is no way to use it - his own breakthrough through the hundred-person formation yesterday is the proof.

But he himself knows how important the armor car and the art of the mechanism are. If there were only cultivators of the lower three orders on a battlefield, then the armor chariot could actually exert great power. As long as Meng Peiyong said, faster, stronger, more. In fact, others will gradually understand this truth, and the key is to make their own advantages before they realize it.

This thought came to his mind, and he said, "Mr. Meng, if you really have the opportunity to learn that, will you go?"

Meng Peiyong was stunned for a moment before he said, "Ah...... This, Marquis, I also have a family and a business......"

Li Bochen thought for a while and said, "What if you don't need to leave home?"

Meng Peiyong immediately said, "Junhou, do you want to teach me personally!?"

Li Bochen smiled bitterly: "I really don't understand this. But if you want to learn, I can think of a way. ”

Meng Peiyong said: "That's good wow, then I'm willing!"

Li Bochen smiled, and was about to speak again, when he listened to a person: "Oh, Brother Li, how can you talk to him together." ”

Li Bochen turned his face and saw that it was Meng Niangzi who came over. Hearing her call herself Brother Li, Li Bochen also felt very comfortable in his heart, so he said, "Sister Meng, I'm talking to Mr. Meng about the trick." ”

Meng Peiyong's eyes lit up, and he said to Meng Niangzi: "Madam, the prince promised me that he would keep the art hall!"

Meng Niangzi walked to Meng Peiyong's side with a smile, took out a pill from a small cloth bag around her waist, and said, "I'll talk about this later, Da Lang, it's time to take medicine." ”

Meng Peiyong immediately opened his mouth, Meng Niangzi fed the pill in, Meng Peiyong swallowed it in one gulp, and said, "I also said that I would invite someone to teach me the arts." ”

Meng Niangzi said: "Brother Li has a good temperament, and I will accompany you to get those children's things." ”

Look at Li Bochen again: "Brother Li, my eldest man can't speak, if he makes a mistake, don't blame him." ”

In this world, it is really rare to see the same way as this couple. Li Bochen originally had the heart to talk to Meng Peiyong for a while, but seeing Meng Niangzi like this, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable in his heart, and the conversation was gone. He smiled and said: "Mr. Meng has a pure heart, and he is very close to talking to him." Is Mr. Meng not feeling well? Then I won't pull him. ”

Meng Pei was never willing to go, and said, "No, no, no-"

But Meng Niangzi pulled him: "The prince still has a lot of things to do, don't pester others." ”

As soon as she said this, Meng Peiyong was stunned and said, "Ah, oops, oops, I'm a person." ”

Li Bochen arched his hand and smiled: "Mr. Meng, I will ask you for advice in the future." ”

Meng Peiyong hurriedly returned the salute and was dragged away by Meng Niangzi. Li Bochen could still see the two of them walking, Meng Peiyong said something while his eyebrows fluttered, and Meng Niangzi only smiled. He sighed and turned his face to look at Sui Buxiu. He was talking to Chang Xiu, and the atmosphere seemed to be harmonious, and he expected the conversation to go well.

He felt a little bored, so he simply stood there and squinted his eyes slightly, and his luck was cultivated.

After this until noon, Chang Qiuwu asked someone to change himself, and the three of them went to the cottage to eat. The way up the mountain is shrouded in greenery, flowers and plants, and birds chirping, which is very pleasant. Li Bochen told Meng Peiyong about it, and said: "Grandpa, when we ask Li Shengyi for the seal, can we give a generous gift, and then ask him to send one or two people who know how to learn? I have met Li Ding before, Li Ding was working in Zhangcheng at that time, and I guess there are many such talents over there. ”

Chang Xiu said: "If the prince is interested, he can naturally. But do you want to build something like an armored car? I'm afraid it's going to be difficult for a while. ”

Li Bochen also knew about it. He had entered the armor chariot when he was in the city of Immeasurables, and even drove it. The structure of the armor car is simple and simple - it is just a power drive provided by the heart of the art, and a shell is covered outside. It can be said that it is difficult to say that some of these delicate structures and parts are by no means forged by ordinary blacksmiths. It is said that many materials require the help of practitioners, either to refine them, or to etch runes. It is also for this reason that the number of armored cars is not large.

But in this matter, he actually has some calculations in his heart - the rotten wood in his realm is not much more than steel. Wouldn't it be easier to use it to build an armor car?

Then he said: "Grandpa is right." I just want to reserve some talent in advance and make a move. ”

I remembered what Sui Bu said last night, and I explained it in detail. Chang Xiu thought for a while and said, "No wonder Sui Gongzi only chatted with me just now, I thought there was a deep meaning in many of his words. Alas, Sui Wuyi is also a hero. But when the hero falls, it can't be underestimated. ”

He said: "Speaking of this, Junhou, there are still some regulations to discuss-you saw the young people in the tun today, how many people do you think are suitable to be soldiers to fight?"

Li Bochen thought for a while and said, "If you want to only talk about people, there are one or two hundred that are suitable." But if you want to talk about war, I'm afraid there is no one. ”

Chang Xiu and Chang Qiuwu were stunned, and Chang Qiuwu said, "How can you say this?"

Li Bochen said: "These young and strong people can catch knives and wear armor. But the question is why they did it. I don't think the people in the tunzi have yellow faces and thin muscles, and they shouldn't have been very bitter these years. After so long of the national disaster, the current young man wants to say in his heart whether there is hatred or not, there should be. But it's hard to say how many. ”

"When Zhu Hou is here, he can naturally catch strong men, but we can't do this. Even if they do this, when they get to the battle array, they are afraid that what they think about is not how to kill the enemy, but how to escape, and then they will not be able to fight. ”

Chang Qiuwu was stunned and said, "Oh...... Actually, it makes sense. ”

Li Bochen was also stunned. He thought that the two of them asked him "why", and they had the intention of taking the school exam, but looking at Chang Qiuwu's reaction, did they not think of this? Or did they not worry about this?

After thinking about it again, he suddenly realized that his grandfather and cousin used to be from a family. Even if he has fallen into trouble in recent years, he should still have the family's demeanor, although he looks easy-going, but he will never really let go of his body in his heart.

Then it inevitably arises a problem - after a thousand years, the wealthy families are high, and the grass people obey their orders. Taxes and conscription are not negotiable. Even if it is in Mengjiatun, if he really forces all men to enlist in the army, and those who violate it will be killed, it is estimated that there will be no resistance. Because it was known that resistance would never succeed.

Although Chang Xiu often mentions "people's hearts", at this moment Li Bochen realized that the "people's hearts" in his mouth are not the hearts of the grass people, but the hearts of wealthy families and cultivators.

However, this life is different from where he came from after all, and it is difficult to say who is right and who is wrong. However, Li Bochen felt that since he had a different insight, he might as well give it a try. "Why fight" is actually very important.

At this time, Chang Xiu said: "Junhou, then what do you want to do?"

Li Bochen said: "I think that either they should understand what they can gain by fighting as soldiers, or they will understand what they will lose otherwise." Now that we are surrounded by Hou Cheng and Xuansu, this matter should not be a big deal for them. Whoever changes here, you have to ask them to farm and pay for grain. ”

"But if the monster comes, it won't be like that. But for many people, monsters are the same as demon lords and demon kings, they know that they exist, but they feel that they are far away, and they are used to scare children. Before, it was said that there were demon beasts in the mountains, but I didn't see everyone panicking, because they felt that there were soldiers fighting with demon beasts, and they drove out of Dangtu Mountain for many days. ”

"Someone should tell them what this monster looks like and what it does. Last night, I was afraid that there were monsters in the mountains, but now that I think about it, if there really are, it would be a good thing - let's get the monsters in and show them to the big guys. ”

Chang Xiu and Chang Qiuwu glanced at each other, and seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Li Bochen's words. But Chang Xiu still said: "Since the prince wants to do this, then he should do it." ”

Li Bochen smiled in his heart, thinking, it is really a little convenient to be this prince.

The three of them went up the mountain, and Li Bochen saw a wooden house on a flat ground halfway up the mountain, which was expected to be Zhu Hou's former camp. A maid and a manservant had prepared their food in front of a room, and a small stove had been made at the table, and water was hot.

The three of them sat down, and Li Bochen saw that the food on the table was very fine, and he couldn't name a few things. At the foot of the mountain just now, Chang Qiuwu was sitting behind the table to keep accounts and put grain, and now the three of them came to open a small stove, Fang Qi still had to be busy below, Li Bochen said in his heart, this is still a family style.

After seeing that the two of them had eaten seven or eight minutes full, he began to wreak havoc. Chang Qiuwu was stunned, Chang Xiu squinted and smiled, and said, "If it's not enough, I will do some more." ”

Li Bochen said: "Enough, enough." ”

I swallowed it in my mouth and poured it with water. Seeing that he drank water like a cow, the maid and the manservant were also pursing their lips and laughing.

When he put off his chopsticks, Chang Xiu smiled and said, "Okay, Bochen, let's talk about what we have to do in the next few days." ”

Li Bochen sat up straight, thinking that it was time to talk about the canonization of the mountain god, so he said, "Grandpa, please speak." ”

"Now that you know that you are the master of this place, all kinds of rules should be in place. You said 'talent pool' before, and that's right. There are more than 1,000 people in Mengjiatun, and there may not be any truly outstanding, but since it is the foundation of the start-up, loyalty is the most important. How does loyalty come about? After following for a long time, it will naturally come in. ”

"For example, the registration of people, the payment of grain and taxes, the measurement of land, the appointment of poor people, and the appointment of the first class must be done carefully. These are related to people's livelihood and must not be sloppy. Later, I will ask Qiu Wu to compile a book and give it to you to read. ”

Li Bochen hurriedly said: "Grandpa, if you want to talk about war, I may understand a little. But I really don't know anything about this—let those who serve the most capable work harder. ”

Chang Xiu said: "It's okay." ”

He also said: "You can ignore these people's livelihoods, but you can't shirk the military." Now there are fifty-three soldiers, do you have any ideas?"

Li Bochen said: "I really thought about it. ”

"Zhu Hou sealed a bunch of generals before, we must not do this. These fifty-three people, how about trying their skills first. If there are those who stand out, they will be ten generals first-make four tithes, and the rest will be my personal guards. The leader of this group of guards, let's call Fang Yu to do it, he is also a ten general. ”

"In the future, Sui Wuyi is coming, more than fifty people are definitely not enough, we can levy some more from Tunli to make up for one hundred. ”

"I have an idea that before Sui Wuyi comes, I will fight with the town army of Xuansu City to see if I can get back an armored car. ”

Chang Xiu and Chang Qiuwu glanced at each other and said with a smile: "Oh, just use these people, I'm afraid you may not be able to win." ”

Li Bochen said: "I don't think we will win." But grandfather, if Sui Wuyi came, it would not be difficult for his 2,000 soldiers to clean up the 2,000 town troops of Houcheng and Xuansu. When he occupies Hou City, our side will be even more stable. The next time you have a chance to fight, it's either the bandits—it's useless—or, the Demon Kingdom is coming. ”

"At that time, I asked these people to fight the Demon Kingdom? I think you have to pee your pants first. So there's only one chance right now. Although the town soldiers in Xuansu City are not elite soldiers, they must be stronger than those of us. These people originally followed Zhu Hou, and I've seen some of them in Sanguan, and they weren't even soldiers. You have to let them know how many catties and taels they have, know that the battle array is not a brawl in the rivers and lakes, and when Sui Wuyi's immeasurable army arrives, let them see the real elite soldiers of a hundred battles. ”

Chang Xiu nodded and said, "Shame and courage, it's the same truth." But these people may not be ashamed. ”

Li Bochen smiled and said, "Yes." They are not border troops in the end, and they are not even government troops. Although he catches knives and wears armor, he is afraid that when he looks at the town army outside through the barrier, he still regards himself as a villager or even a common person, so naturally he will not feel that there is nothing to be ashamed of being compared to others. But I have some ideas about this. But you have to get someone back first. ”
