Chapter Thirteen Everything is Ready

Facing the talent coming to the door, Luo Shixin thought for a while and said, "I just happened to have a record of the general record book. Can you give in? "

The status of the recorder is the same as that of Liu Rengui's military participation. His status is not very high, but they are both important positions beside Luo Shixin.

Ma Zhou has a strange personality and is also cold-eyed. Except for some friends, he is rarely recognized. Although he is talented, he has always been mediocre. Instead, he is scolded by the governor Da Xishu, who is regarded as a mediocre person, and his heart is filled with depression. Luo Shixin is from the same origin as them, but he has achieved such achievements, which makes him admire him. Now he treats him like this again, and is moved in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Ma Zhou will never let down the general's high expectations."

The ancients rarely claimed their full name, and they would only claim their full name when their emotions reached a certain limit.

He accepted Liu Rengui, Ma Zhou, and Luo Shixin, and did not be polite to them. He took them directly to the Council Hall of the Governor's Office, introduced them to Wang Xuance, and then handed them over the heavy matters with great trust.

Liu Rengui has been a idle army for nearly two years, and Ma Zhou has gained his knowledge by wandering around. To put it bluntly, he is doing nothing.

They have been lazy for several years, and now they are eager to have something to do. Luo Shixin handed over the complicated affairs of the Three Prefectures to them, which moved them. His passion for business made Wang Xuance, a workaholic who was used to work pressure, feels very stressed.

Liu Rengui and Ma Zhou are both talented people. Although they have never been exposed to the government affairs of the Governor's Office and only seemed a little naive at the beginning, the results they handled are inaccurate.

It was less than a Sunday, and Liu Rengui and Ma Zhou and others mastered various tricks and secrets, like veterans, handling all matters in an orderly manner.

Ma Zhou also specially formulated a process for handling the affairs of the three prefectures, differentiating Wang Xuance and Liu Rengui to handle the latest government affairs, and he sorted out the accumulated affairs of the past. In this way, the latest situation can be solved as soon as possible, and the accumulated affairs of the government are constantly decreasing, avoiding the situation where new things are dragged into old things over time.

Although Liu Rengui and Ma Zhou are two, they are very familiar with each other and can be used as ten people.

When it comes to Liu Rengui and Ma Zhou's hands, they can handle it in the simplest way. Wang Xuance's level of handling military and political affairs is not as good as that.

During his contact with Liu Rengui and Ma Zhou, Luo Shixin gradually found that both of them were rare talents and had different abilities: Liu Rengui tended to be good at handling official affairs, while Ma Zhou was good at handling logistics and government affairs, and each had his own strengths.

Luo Shixin asked them to deal with areas they were good at, and their efficiency improved a lot.

In just one month, because of the help of Liu Rengui and Ma Zhou, the Governor's Office had settled the bad debts left by Yang Wengan and started running smoothly. All the dynamics in military affairs, the soldiers, horses, food, and cities, and even the generals and schoolmen and their names were under the control of Luo Shixin, and they also officially held the position of Governor of Qingzhou.

Luo Shixin never stings in rewarding the heroes.

In just one month, he promoted Liu Rengui to the military officer of the Cao and Ma Zhou to the military officer of the Record, and each of them was promoted to the first rank.

Although Liu Rengui and Ma Zhou were promoted after working for a month, the staff under Luo Shixin was not dissatisfied with the people: after getting along this month, they had already impressed their talents. Even the chief of staff of Luo Shixin, Sima, Wang Xuance, was slightly admired by Liu Rengui and Ma Zhou, and asked them for advice in turn. Wang Xuance was clever and eloquent and humble in asking for advice. Although his status was higher than that of the two, he was not ashamed to ask them for advice.

Liu Rengui and Ma Zhou are not the kind of arrogant people. Wang Xuance is so attentive that they are not stingy with guidance. Wang Xuance is already very talented, and with the guidance of Liu Rengui and Ma Zhou, the future path will go further.

Now Luo Shixin has truly become a superior, and the military has been handed over to Su Dingfang, Xue Yong, Mo Hu'er, and government affairs have been handed over to Wang Xuance, Liu Rengui, and Ma Zhou. As long as you ask, you will understand it roughly. They will deal with the details. They have also gotten free and started to consider his next plan.

This is also the responsibility of being the governor, and he considers the general principles and strategies, while his civil and military officials and soldiers deal with details around the general principles.

"General, the court has sent a thousand sets of armor. I have signed it here. The amount is correct. I don't know which army these thousand sets of armor are allocated to. I need to be prepared." Ma Zhou was calculating the military pay in the government warehouse today, and unexpectedly received the news that the court sent a thousand sets of armor. It is not yet time for the soldiers of the three states to change their old armor, and he has never heard of the army lacking armor. He came to ask clearly.

"Finally delivered!" Luo Shixin waved his fist excitedly and asked, "How many mates are there in total."

"A full thousand pairs!" Ma Zhou responded.

"Only a thousand troopers?" Luo Shixin scratched his head and muttered, "It's so stingy." He also knew that although Li Shimin supported him in the north, he was not without a bottom line. If he wanted military soldiers and money, he would not be allowed to suffer in this position. Who would do it? He spoke loudly, just as Changsun Wuji said. He never thought that Li Shimin would fulfill all of it. He just needed as much welfare as possible to facilitate his actions. One thousand troopers were actually a lot, but the people were not in a good mood. He asked for a full twenty thousand troopers in the letter.

"Let's go, let's take a look!" Luo Shixin's plan was eight hundred. If he raised 800 mates, his plan could be implemented. It would be a bit troublesome if he was less than this amount. Now there are 1,000 mates.

When he arrived at the warehouse in Qingzhou, Ma Zhou pointed to Yijia who had just entered the warehouse and said, "Those are just that, they seem to be a little different from the style of our army, and they are a little more gorgeous."

Luo Shixin did not answer, and went forward to get a pair of armor and shook it open.

Although it is recorded in history that more than 60% of the infantry soldiers of the Tang army were mainly armored and had a very high armor rate, second only to the Song Dynasty, which had infantry as its main combat power, it was by no means this era. During the Wude period, the Tang Dynasty was not so luxurious. The soldiers in this era were still mainly leather armor. Most of them were made of rhino, shark and other leather, painted on it, and divided into armor, armor body, armor sleeves and armor skirts.

In the past, soldiers' armor was satisfied with the three key parts of armor, armor sleeves and armor skirts, and the others were casual. However, the armor on Luo Shixin's hand, except for the armor body, armor sleeves and armor skirts, were made of leather, and the sleeve collars and trousers were neatly sewn with red silk cloth, which looked very beautiful, just like Ma Zhou said, "Bright!"

Luo Shixin looked up and down and left and right and couldn't find any fault. After all, it was carefully designed. There was no non-mainstream idea in ancient times, and the workmanship and beauty are in line with the public's taste.

They were all big men, and Luo Shixin didn't care about anything else. He took off his purple robe official, threw his hand to the guard, put the armor on his hands on his body, tidied up his sleeves and said, "How is it?"

Ma Zhou's head was a little too hard to turn, and he had no idea which Luo Shixin sang.

"Are you handsome?" Luo Shixin asked afterwards.

Ma Zhou pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "The general's sword-browed eyes are bright, and his handsomeness is three-point majestic. He is indeed a master of heroes." He is not good at complimenting people, but Luo Shixin is tall and has a natural clothes rack. Even if he is wearing soldier's armor, he still has an attractive demeanor.

"Who told you to say this? What I look like is what everyone knows? I want to ask you! I'm talking about armor, how about armor?" Luo Shixin said with a little narcissism. I have to say that compared to his moderate appearance in his previous life, Luo Shixin is indeed a rare handsome guy. When it comes to appearance, he is not inferior to Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, the handsome brothers.

The name of Qiao Luo Cheng is not made public.

Ma Zhou coughed awkwardly. He was not very good at joking like Luo Shixin. He filtered it independently and glanced again and said, "This armor combines the soldiers' leather armor and silk cloth armor. It is indeed beautiful and generous when worn on the body, and it is also very practical. But this unnecessary achievement is a bit extravagant?" He was specifically responsible for trivial matters such as food and equipment, and also learned about this knowledge.

There were thirteen armors in the Tang Dynasty, which were divided into Mingguang, light, fine scales, mountain text, bird hammer, white cloth, soapy juan, cloth back, infantry, leather armor, wooden armor, locks, and vests. Among them, Mingguang armor was the most exquisite and properly protected armor in the Tang Dynasty. It was not only handsome but practical, but because of the complex workmanship, huge expenses and extremely low output, only a few generals who made great contributions could have it after receiving the reward from Li Yuan.

Luo Shixin was awarded the Mingguang Kai for his bloody battle in Mingshui City and his military achievements in capturing Liu Heita.

As for other armors, they all have their own uses, such as chain mail is good at preventing sharp arrows, thin scale armor is very good at preventing chopping, etc.

Needless to say, leather armor is widely used because it is light and cheap. Silk armor is made of textiles such as silk cloth. It has a light structure and beautiful appearance, but has no defense ability. This armor cannot be used in actual combat but can only be used as a dress for military generals or as a dress for ceremonial soldiers.

This batch of brand new armor combines the combat leather armor and silk cloth armor into one. It has the protection of leather armor and the beauty of silk cloth armor.

However, in Ma Zhou's view, this change is a luxury and wasteful thing and has no meaning at all.

"What do you know!" Luo Shixin gave him a blank look, "Look, this armor will be the key to the rise of border soldiers."
