Zhao Ce and Su Caier agreed that they would probably not be at home during the day.

This was basically the case when he went to the academy to study.

But this time when Su Caier went out, she knew that he was not studying, so she couldn't help but worry.

Su Caier remembered the soldiers she had seen on the mountain before. Their armor and helmets looked quite safe.

Su Caier asked Zhao Ce curiously: "Will adults give their husbands armor?"

Zhao Ce didn't ask about this matter either. The armor worn by ordinary soldiers is actually not very protective.

It is not realistic to create a pair of armor specifically, so I can only ask for a ready-made one.

Zhao Ce said: "I'll go and ask tomorrow. It's really necessary to wear a pair."

The sword has no eyes. If it hits and hits, Zhao Ce himself doesn't feel the pain. I guess the little girl will cry in a hurry.

Su Caier thought for a while and asked, "Husband, if I have something to buy, can I let Lao Xu go out?"

"Of course, if you are interrogated, just say that you are from our family."

"What, do you have anything to buy?"

Su Caier shook her head: "Not yet."

Zhao Ce kissed her and said he wanted to find Liu Ruyu.

When Liu Ruyu learned that his letter had been sent, he happily thanked Zhao Ce.

Zhao Ce is going to get busy tomorrow, thinking about getting the time today and adding the contents of this arithmetic book.

Since this arithmetic book could be expected to be sought after, Zhao Ce was ready to add the Arabic numerals that were afraid of being unconventional at the beginning.

I first removed this thing because I was not famous and wanted to call out a little name as soon as possible.

Therefore, what is written must be easy to understand and can be quickly accepted by the public.

However, after a series of things happened, I also got all the desired results without knowing them.

If this book can be recognized by a tycoon from the court through Liu Ruyu's hands, then it can really start to pay attention to what he wants to popularize in this dynasty.

However, Zhao Ce was not prepared to make major changes, so he directly added a page in front of the book to introduce the numbers clearly.

Subsequently, another page of symbols was added.

In the following example, the next example is repeated with numbers.

In this way, we can give you a brief understanding of the number first.

Numbers are easier to recognize than words, and many illiterate people can understand them.

If it can really be popularized, these illiterate people will have a greater chance of avoiding being cheated if they want to do some small business or do short-term foreman hours in the future and can recognize some simple numbers.

After Zhao Ce returned from the government office, he worked on his arithmetic book in the study all afternoon.

Su Caier added tea twice to him and brought him snacks again.

It was not until dark that Su Caier came in to give him a light, and Zhao Ce stopped.

After stretching, Zhao Ce smiled and said, "It's already so late."

Su Caier walked over and pinched his shoulders and relaxed: "Husband has to go out tomorrow, so let's do the rest when you come back."

Zhao Ce sat on the stool, leaned against the back of the chair, and waited for Su Caier to pinch him for a while before he said comfortably: "Well, let's talk about it when you have time."

The two of them had dinner on the oil lamp for a long time. After washing up, Zhao Ce lay on the bed thinking about tomorrow's events.

Su Caier was also quietly lying down, tilting her little head to look at Zhao Ce thinking.

The house was quiet and silent for a moment, with only the occasional breeze blowing outside the house.

Suddenly, Zhao Ce asked: "Cai'er, look at the weather, does it seem like it will rain these days?"

Su Caier's voice was a little confused: "Well, I don't think so."

"It hasn't rained for almost two months, and I don't know what's going on this year."

After saying that, she yawned and said with a little sticky look: "Will it affect my husband's work?"

Zhao Ce hugged her and kissed her: "Well, it's really not good if it rains heavily."

"But since you said you wouldn't be able to do it, then I'm relieved."

"Sleep, a good dream."

Su Caier said in a daze: "Then I hope it won't rain in the next few days..."

......

The next day, after breakfast, Zhao Ce took his spear, rode Xiao Huang majestic towards the West City Gate.

When Zhao Ce arrived, all the people whom Lord Cui summoned him were already waiting here.

There were many familiar faces in the crowd, and everyone was very excited to see Zhao Ce.

Lord Cui mobilized twenty yamen servants, plus the defenders and other logistics personnel.

He pieced together and formed a team of about 200 people.

After Zhao Ce asked them to report a number, he got an accurate number: 156 people.

It would be a pity for Mr. Cui not to be a training lecturer...

They are basically all acquaintances, and everyone has heard of Zhao Ce's reputation, so there is no need to say more.

Zhao Ce cleared his throat and said, "I believe you all know who I am, so I won't say much."

"Everyone knows the situation outside the city."

"Now Lord Cui is arranging people to collect supplies in the city, and we will have a hard battle soon."

"Please work with me to drive away all the thieves and strive to restore normal life as soon as possible!"

Zhao Ce said, and he also stood out.

The chicken soup was also easy to come and poured it into everyone’s mouth.

After the storm, he took them up the city tower and began to observe the surrounding terrain while practicing.

The Xicheng Gate is usually not open, and no one has walked here.

Zhao Ce looked over the city tower and could see many figures around the woods outside the main gate to the south.

......

At the same time, the yamen arranged by the prefect Cui also began to collect what Zhao Ce wanted to use in the city.

Previously, an official had already notified every household that he had knocked on the gong and asked every household to prepare the things, and then each household would send one or two people to the city gate.

Su Caier received her husband's advice last night and asked Aunt Chen to prepare firewood branches early today and pile them in the yard.

The remaining firewood branches at home are probably enough for about ten days.

Aunt Chen said with some concern: "Madam, the Chaizhi in our family has been collected by the officials. If the city gates behind are not open, what can we do?"

There is enough rice, flour, diesel at home, but if you don’t have a fire, you will definitely not be able to eat it properly.

Su Caier said confidently: "Aunt Chen, don't worry, my husband said that he asked Lord Wu Zun to collect it."

"Since my husband does this, we will do what he said."

Su Caier naturally trusts her husband unconditionally.

Even if her husband said she wanted to take out all the firewood in the house, she would do this without hesitation.

Liu Ruyu listened curiously, and was also very curious about what Zhao Ce would do next.

After the sound of gong ringing outside, Lao Xu pulled a truck with a solid firewood and walked outside.
