388: Hiding the soldiers in the people [two in one](2/2)
As a result, Shen Jun asked her to help him from time to time.
Afterwards, she simply set up an exclusive small table for her.
When it's okay, have a happy fishing trip together.
Drink tea, chat and eat snacks.
In the past two days, Mrs. Lu always looked like she wanted to speak but stopped. Chen Tang thought she was wronged and had the care from the superiors. Hearing her that she had adapted well, she felt relieved.
but--
Lady Lu endured it again and again, but still couldn't help it.
She asked: "Why didn't Mr. Shen recruit troops?"
Chen Tang was stuffing it into his mouth for food, his cheeks bulging.
Turning his head and looking at her in confusion: "What?"
Lady Lu bit her lower lip and wanted to retreat and vaguely pass the matter, but she also felt that this would not work. Shen Jun was the benefactor of her family. How could she not point out the problem when she saw it?
She thought carefully: "... Yesterday, the Gong Shutuwei handed over a letter to apply for a new month's military salary..."
"I know this. Ling De has also calculated it. He said it is okay, but what is the missing?"
The little lady Lu said: "It's not that it's a shortage, but that little military pay can only support four or five thousand soldiers... There are only such a small amount of troops in Heyin County, how can we deal with the strong enemy?"
Chen Tang understood and asked with a smile.
"What do you think you should do?"
Lady Lu said, "It should be at least 20,000."
There were more Luxia County in the past than this.
Chen Tang asked again: "Who said there is no 20,000?"
Lady Lu was stunned for a moment: “Ah?”
The remaining 15,000 is hidden?
"If this is the case, it seems that it won't be true..." Although she is quiet and gentle now, Miss Lu also rolls in the military camp and is particularly clear about the tricks inside. Her father never conceals, and even teaches her step by step.
Therefore, she is more sensitive to this.
Chen Tang smiled and said, "Hide? It's nothing wrong if you say this, but - I'm not hiding my troops in places like the mountains and forests. With He Yin's 'unprepared' state, it's easy to be discovered by those who are interested..."
She needs 20,000 soldiers and horses, so her neighbors should be worried.
How can it be as harmonious as it is now?
Ten thousand five is not a small amount.
It can't be hidden no matter how hard it is.
Lady Lu was tactful and didn't understand the truth, but the curiosity and guesses in her eyes could not be concealed.
Chen Tang was half true and half false, and he joked: "If you really encounter a war, you can recruit 15,000 troops in an emergency..."
Lady Lu: “…”
But I don’t know that Chen Tang is not a joke.
This is the strategy she and Chu Yao and the other two discussed for a long time - they want to maintain a good relationship with the three families and develop themselves silently in a relatively stable environment, so there should not be too many soldiers on the surface.
But without soldiers and horses, it is very passive - having a sword in your hand but not using it is two different concepts than having no sword in your hand.
Besides, she does not have the financial resources to support so many soldiers at the moment, so she discussed a compromise.
Make the people under the ruler live as well as possible.
Every household has surplus food.
They completely tied them and Ha Yin to death, forcibly stuffed the concept of "they have no other way out except Ha Yin, and they will lose all their foundation without Ha Yin" into their minds, deeply rooted!
Once the war comes, they will be scared to escape with their family members, because the world outside is even more cruel and bloody! At this time, tell them that the enemy is here to kill people and rob money and intercept food, so they will naturally be willing to stand up to defend their own wealth and bring their own food.
In the past, they joined the army to fill their stomachs. Survival is the most important thing on the battlefield. What does the outcome have to do with them? Anyway, the situation will not be worse. Now they join the army to defend their own food, and failure means losing both people and money.
Of course, the latter is more willing to fight desperately.
Chen Tang was preparing to find an excuse to organize common people after the busy farming season in the spring to conduct light military training in villages, so that they could use villages as combat units to be familiar with them.
When Wu Xian and the other families asked, it was easy to find excuses to fool them.
Excuses are not difficult to find.
Just say that there are conflicts in the village.
This kind of thing is not uncommon.
The two villages finally turned into a melee of hundreds of people for a well or even a verbal dispute.
As long as Chen Tang needs it—
No matter men, women, young and old, the whole nation is a soldier.
Chu Yao: [Hidding your strength and keeping your low profile, slowly and slowly looking for it.]
Chen Tang:【Natural.】
She has patience and can bear it.
Little did they know that such a peaceful life has been gone for a few months.
The little lady Lu ran to the official office diligently and gradually got to know Lin Feng and Yu Zi, but the one who had the same temper with her was Bai Su, who was not seen by the dragon. The latter seemed cold, but the solemn aura surrounding her made her particularly close.
Jiang Sheng saw this scene in his eyes.
Looking at the little lady Lu who smiled with Bai Suyu, Jiang Sheng sighed: "The gap between people..."
Look at the other person, Bai Sulangjun, and then look at his lord. This is the gap between people! His lord is obsessed with official business and occasionally chats with Miss Lu, just to coax the other party to handle official business for himself...
And Bai Langjun also knows how to give gifts!
Chen·Miscong·Tang: "???"
Gu Chi was already squeezing and her face was cramped.
He laughed and said, "Lord, there is a long way to go!"
I don’t know if everyone is bad-hearted, but none of them even took the initiative to tell Jiang Sheng about the true gender of the lord.
Winter is gone and spring comes, and spring plowing is coming again.

Today, my father celebrated his birthday and I was so late when I came back (I didn’t have time to record the screen with Coach Liu and jump to the fuck, alas)
If you have time, please give the character a little love list. (′???`)
