The sage Zhao Yumin also caught his own prey during his winter hunting. His honor was reduced by more than one-third, but those who remained were all useful people.
The great cadres and nobles do not raise waste. After the streamlined cadres, it seems that their strength has been greatly reduced, but in fact it is not the case.
If the moths are removed, the whole thing will not rot.
As for the general, he will not be dissatisfied if he sees how cruel the noble is towards him.
The winter hunting gift is a warning given by the sage Zhao Yumin to the generals with the title and blood of the nobles.
With the end of the winter hunting ceremony, the Yulin Guards took over the camp, and the altar and the surrounding ground were plowed. The vegetation here will be more lush next year.
Su Ce and Li Sizhe returned to Chang'an City together. Li Sizhe kept Su Ce at his house for a day. Su Ce asked Su Da to take his guards back to Suzhuang, and also brought a message to Li Chang.
Li Chang drove his carriage into Chang'an City early the next morning.
In the East Palace, Prince Zhao Zaicheng drank tea and looked at the documents piled on the slips. Each one was reviewed. These documents had been reviewed by the three prime ministers. After being reviewed by Prince Zhao Zaicheng, they would be sent to the palace for review by the sage Zhao Yumin.
"Jingyang County uncle is going to become a disciple?" Zhao Zaicheng asked as he turned over the documents.
"Today!" A middle-aged father-in-law wearing a purple robe replied beside Prince Zhao Zaicheng.
"Looking for a box of military documents to give to the uncle of Jingyang County, and a pair of Ruyi to the Duke of Dingbei County." Zhao Zaicheng closed the document, closed his eyes, and rubbed his brow.
"I have a message for that boy Su Ce. If you want to learn something, study hard. Also tell Dingbei County Lord to teach you some real skills. Go ahead." Zhao Zaicheng opened his eyes, picked up a document and continued to read.
After the restructuring, the three envoys of each Tao discovered many problems. There were too many battles in the past, and people's livelihood matters fell behind a lot. Now civil affairs are put first, water conservancy is being developed in each Tao, and corvee money and food are in short supply. The Ministry of Household Affairs will use the old foundation this time.
The etiquette of Su Ce's apprenticeship was very solemn, but not ostentatious. Li Chang brought two boxes of gold ingots to the carriage that came with the guardian.
A total of three thousand taels of gold, these gold ingots are Su Ce's apprenticeship ceremony.
Li Sizhe came down from the position of Protector of the Anbei Protectorate. There is no shortage of money in the family. However, when Su Ce entered the Dingbei County Duke's mansion, he discovered that Li Sizhe only had a few old slaves and a dozen nurses in his home. .
The life of a dignified county official is not as good as that of a small businessman in Chang'an City. This is so true.
"Carry it back. They say that the uncle from Jingyang County is rich. I've seen it before, but I'm not teaching you for your dirty money." Li Sizhe looked a little angry at the box Li Chang carried.
Li Chang also met Li Sizhe. He was also a soldier under this commander back then. He was in a dilemma for a while.
Su Ce said sternly: "This money is not for the teacher, but for the military Zhongzepao. You returned it and gave me money and food. That is the old man's nostalgia. The boy has the intention but can't do it. This is for you." Troublesome."
Li Sizhe waved his hand: "Carry it down."
Seeing Li Sizhe accept it, Su Ce breathed a sigh of relief. What Su Ce wanted to learn was real skills. One of the money could be used to support his former colleagues, and the other was a test to see if Li Sizhe wanted to teach him. The results are pretty good now.
"The art of war is essential..."
…
"The prince asked me to give you some things, and also asked me to bring a message to you two. Since you are learning, you should study hard and show some real skills."
There was no teaching in the afternoon, but Li Sizhe was talking about his military habits. He was interrupted for a while by a purple-robed father-in-law.
It was getting late, and Su Ce needed to go back to Suzhuang. Li Sizhe would need to stay in his mansion for a long time in the future, so he had to go back to Suzhuang to pick up some things and say hello to his family.
When bidding farewell, Li Sizhe sent Su Ce to the courtyard.
Su Ce got on his horse at the door of the mansion, saluted the old commander, and then clapped his horse and left.
Li Sizhe has changed a lot. When Li Chang sent money today, he brought a message to Su Ce, which was about some matters at the Dingbei County Government.
Several of Li Sizhe's sons are no longer in the army. They gave up martial arts and became civil servants. Now they are fighting fiercely with the literary clan. They were kicked out of the mansion by the old commander. Now only the old commander is left to support the government.
