Wei Yan raised the issue of this number, and Lin Ze thought for a moment. Then he remembered that he had walked north this time, and a very important gain was that he had a strong general like Tai Shici.
With Xu Mao and Shi Liuliu on Guo Jia's side, there will definitely be no danger. Taishi Ci can be transferred back. Lin Ze said: "Ziwu, give Taishi Ci a military order. I will provide military pay and let him recruit 10,000 horses according to his own characteristics." , stationed at Xiakou, designated as the Sharp Sword Regiment."
At this time, Wei Yan was unhappy and knelt down and said: "Lord, please give me the number of my ten thousand horses!"
Lin Ze said cheerfully: "Saber regiment, what are you doing?"
Wei Yan's eyes lit up and he said: "Wherever my lord points, the general will sweep it away!"
Wei Yan is indeed a very flamboyant person. Now that he has so many people under his command, only he and Guo Jia can suppress him. They can still express some respect when they see Ma Wu, Xu Ziwu and Huang Zhong, but they don't have a good look towards Xu Mao. , no wonder Zhuge Liang felt that after Liu Bei and he died, Wei Yan would rebel. Now even he feels this way.
However, Lin Ze discovered that Wei Yan was not disloyal. From the bottom of his heart, he hoped that Shu Han would win.
Zhuge Liang suppressed him too hard.
Lin Ze helped him up and said: "I have made a rule. We, the monarchs and the ministers, sit down and discuss the truth without kneeling. This is your backbone. Your backbone is the backbone of our Yuzhou. One day, this chaotic world will be calmed down. , Not kneeling down is the backbone of us Han people!"
Then Lin Ze said the most important thing.
"We now have a vast land and abundant resources, with a population of five million. There are three million babies born this year. The population has almost doubled. With so many people, we need managers. I hope you gentlemen will know people well and take charge of them. Officials below, how much money do you have to build a house? Build as much as you want, but you are not allowed to steal people's land and money. For fields, you can cultivate as much area as you can, but when you hire common people, you must meet the people's satisfaction. Women are found based on their ability, but you are not allowed to rob civilian women. , this is my bottom line. If anyone violates it, I, Lin Ze, will kill someone. You can be greedy, but you can be greedy based on your ability. You may even have the ability to rob those bandits and bullies, but you cannot touch my people!"
Since they came, Lin Ze has spoken very softly, but when he said this, he released murderous intent. His murderous intent can't scare people with just a glare or a black face. His murderous intent is like a life. Although the things piled up were not directed at the person in front of them, the people in front of them felt a chill in their hearts.
Lin Ze asked them to treat the officials below him like this, didn't he ask them to do the same?
However, they also admired this lord even more. He was gentle and domineering, with both royal and domineering qualities, and he had the appearance of an emperor.
Lin Zedao: "From now on, your meeting hall will be in Shouchun, my mansion. I will stay in Yueyang Village. This place is the first place where I can sleep peacefully. Here I feel that I My thoughts can be clearer. Let’s go, eat and drink!”
Lin Ze invited all the masters to have a family dinner, which was the highest standard. After the meal, Lin Ze ordered Xu Ziwu to send all the masters away safely, while Wei Yan stayed behind with 10,000 troops.
The weather was getting colder. It was late summer and early autumn, and it was only a few months before 195. Lin Ze was holding on to a big battle to fight against Cao Cao and the barbarians.
What happened in 195? Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty escaped from Chang'an, and Cao Cao took the emperor to order the princes. The barbarians from the north took advantage of the civil strife in Chang'an, went south to plunder, and robbed Cai Wenji.
Lin Ze would not allow this to happen.
Now that he is shrinking this seemingly free army, Lin Ze does not want the world to know his intentions.
Lin Ze was a cheater. He knew the direction of history. The places he had no influence on would follow a fixed historical trajectory. As for the places he had a hand in, Lin Ze also had a rough estimate that he was already at war with Jiangdong Sun Ce. He Now I especially want to see how Cao Cao will seize Xuzhou from the hands of the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang.
These days, Lin Ze's happiest thing every day is communicating with Guo Jia. Guo Jia accepted Lin Ze's strategy of defending the land and resisting, which made Zhou Yu very uncomfortable. Let's attack the city. Lin Ze's crossbows and crossbows have too far range. Zhou Yu He and Sun Ce suffered some casualties without even seeing an enemy, so they simply left. Their direction was Lujiang. They received battle reports from the Snow Leopard Regiment and withstood several attacks. Zhou Yu found that they could not defeat them, so they left.
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu disappeared without a trace, and they didn't know what they were doing. Not to mention the scouts, not even the goshawk could find them.
When Lin Ze got the news, he felt a lot of pressure. What is the most terrifying thing on the battlefield? The enemy just disappeared.
Where can Zhou Yu and Sun Ce go? In the Jiangdong era, although the land was vast and rich, wherever the army went, there were people. They would not hide in the wild fields and drink the northwest wind.
What you are most afraid of is that they will suddenly appear and stab you.
Zhou Yu used his troops like a god and should never be underestimated.
Lin Ze wrote a letter to Guo Jia, saying that in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy and trickery are false, and ordered Xu Mao to strictly guard the city gates, while Shi Liuliu acted expediently, and remained unchanged in response to all changes.
Guo Jia sensed Zhou Yu's ability and wanted Lin Ze to take charge of the overall situation, but Lin Ze really couldn't go. First, he was still recuperating. Second, there were variables in Chang'an, and he had to keep an eye on them.
Lin Ze had a little pressure created by Zhou Yu, but not much. Thirty thousand versus twenty thousand, how big can this battle be?
The worst outcome would be to lose Qu'a, so he was still very relaxed.
Although he was cultivating his body, Lin Ze couldn't rest. With the improvement of urban development, Lin Ze had access to more tools, such as paint.
There is no need to suffer hardship for children, no need to suffer poverty for education. In order to bring the world back to its center, Lin Ze will build a school.
On a huge sheet of paper, Lin Ze drew a huge realistic architectural diagram of the Han Dynasty, using paint, gray tiles, gray walls, carved beams and painted buildings.
Lin Ze wants to build a masonry house covering an area of 3,000 acres. There is still a large open space in Yueyang Village that has not been developed, and it is just right to make use of the land.
Lin Ze's design does not need anyone to criticize it. Just construct it conscientiously according to his method. He has a doctorate in architecture. Architecture is the basic discipline for learning blasting. He will code first and then prepare materials. Construction will start next year.
Li Yan had to supervise the work. The main labor force was the 200,000 captives. Those 200,000 captives were very willing to work because they found that working for Lin Ze was more comfortable than when they were farming.
Li Yan saw the drawings and was stunned for a while, then said: "This is bigger than the palace of the Han family, with an area of 3,000 acres. This is simply a big city. My lord, the Huaihe River Water Conservancy has saved all the money in the house." After all the money was spent, Xunfang City saw the money back. To build the city, a lot of money is needed. Why don't you let the people donate some? Running a school is a good thing to open up the people's wisdom. The merits are in the present and the benefits will be in the future. The people are willing to donate. The people also have money in their hands."
Lin Ze said cheerfully: "You can't harvest wool openly. I've been holding back on mining the coal mine in the back mountain. Let's start construction. This is a necessity for winter, and the financial income is no less than the income from salt and iron."
Li Yan's admiration for Lin Ze reached the point of fanaticism. The lord seemed not to care about anything, but every plant, tree, and even the air in Yuzhou was in his hands.
There really is no one more powerful than him in this world.
Lin Ze believed that there was, and Tong Yuan was one. At least Tong Yuan was more capable than himself. No matter how well he taught Xu Ziwu, he did not think that Xu Ziwu was Zhao Yun's opponent.
This has something to do with talent.
Moreover, Lin Ze discovered that Tong Yuan's true brilliance was not his murderous skills, but his cultivation. He was a disciple of the Taoist sect. Lin Ze always felt that this old man was someone who had seen through the world. Apart from being shameless, everything else was pretty good.
Lin Ze was inspecting the foundation deep in Yueyang Village. The sun was going down. Lin Ze whistled, but he didn't wait until the black-hoofed jade rabbit came back, and then he remembered that the black-hoofed jade rabbit had been sacrificed.
The poor horse has only been with me for a few years.
Suddenly, Lin Ze didn't want to go home anymore and bought a chicken with the villagers. The villagers wanted to take away all the pigs in the house, even if they were not willing to ask for money.
Lin Ze plucked the feathers of the chicken by the river, opened it and washed it, then wrapped it in the prepared seasoning for ten minutes, stuffed some wild vegetables into the chicken's belly, then wrapped it in lotus leaves, and then wrapped it in lotus leaves. A layer of yellow mud is burned directly in the fire.
He couldn't tell the difference between how to cook beggar's chicken and lotus leaf chicken, so he just had them both.
When he blew the yellow mud with his fingers, a strange fragrance spread out. At this time, a figure ran from a distance at an astonishing speed.
Lin Ze asked: "You haven't left yet?"
Tong Yuan stared at the chicken in Lin Ze's hand and said, "I think this place is very good, and I plan to die here from now on."
Lin Ze said: "If you can help me lead my soldiers, I can build you a house."
"No, no. If you don't have wisdom, you can't bring him out. If you are willing to bring Xiao Changpu to me, my door will be closed for a few years."
Lin Ze glared at him and said, "You pretend to be crazy every year, don't be so stupid!"
"Tsk tsk, stingy, why do people who mention you have murderous intentions?" Tong Yuan said: "Actually, you taught me very well, and your ability is actually pretty good. Looking at the world, except for those old monsters who have never been born, no one can do anything to you. .”
Lin Ze was a little excited when he heard this and said: "There are still experts in this world, isn't it said that Lu Bu is the best in the world?"
Tong Yuan shook his head and said: "Lü Bu is still not interested. Even defeating my disciple Zi Long is still difficult. Sima Hui, Guan Ning, Pang Degong, Zuo Ci, Yu Ji, who doesn't have a few powerful disciples?"
Lin Ze said happily: "Yu Ji is no good. I have fought against him and he is just a charlatan."
Tong Yuan said: "In any case, in the four hundred years of Han Dynasty, there are countless hermits and masters in the world. No one dares to say that he is the best in the world. Let's just talk about you. You defeated Lu Bu. You are so majestic, but you didn't almost die." Twice?"
Lin Ze nodded and said, "That's true. Human beings are made of flesh and blood, and the world cannot be conquered by one person."
Tong Yuan said: "If you can give me half of your chicken, I have a way to make you immune to all poisons."
Lin Ze felt that Tong Yuan was deceiving him, but he was tempted...
