Li Rui was a little embarrassed and cautiously extended a finger.
At that moment, Xu Tong's heart dropped.
"One hundred taels?"
Xu Tong said in shock.
Li Rui laughed awkwardly, and then continued: "How can it be possible that I am not such an inhumane person, one thousand taels!"
"A thousand taels..."
Xu Tong took a deep breath and thought carefully for a moment: "Although it is a little less, it is enough."
"I'm afraid this also includes pensions for the people who died in the battle outside the city today!" Li Rui said softly.
"Gudu..."
Xu Tong swallowed lightly at this time, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes: "Master, is it too late for me to regret it now? These procedures have been issued, and I am afraid they cost hundreds of taels of silver, and they must be followed in accordance with the regulations.
The standard of three guards will be distributed, and there will be salary and silver after that. One thousand taels of silver will not be able to get it out at all!"
"I know!"
Li Rui took a deep breath and pondered for a while before continuing: "So I have an idea, I don't know if it is suitable or not, and I want to discuss it with you this time."
"Sir, tell me!"
There was a bit of solemnity in Xu Tong's eyes, and he realized that something was not right. One thousand taels of silver was needed to raise a three-guard army. If it was really that easy, then it would be too easy for the imperial court to maintain this army.
Even more, the Zhou Dynasty’s army could expand more than three times!
At that time, won’t gods kill gods and Buddhas if they stop them?
"This matter may be difficult for others, but for Liangzhou, it is not impossible!"
"Young master, you may not understand the inside story. The army needs training, actual combat, pay, armor, horses, and all kinds of things. Although these things seem very inconspicuous, the number of the three guards has increased.
, this number is very scary.”
Xu Tong said with a sad face.
"Okay, okay!"
Li Rui felt a little helpless and waved his hand gently: "If I have prepared everything, what else do I need from you? What's more, I'm giving you some advice!"
"What's your idea, Master?" Xu Tong asked.
"First of all, on the edge of Liangzhou, you can support war with war! Although we can't send out a response, others can! With so many bandit dens, which place is the gold and silver mountain? There are all kinds of gold and silver in them.
The people's wealth is theirs. If we capture it, we can not only eliminate the bandit troubles, but also expand military supplies."
"And you can also accumulate experience through constant battles and train the three guards!"
Li Rui said softly: "This method can minimize our expenses. If you can operate it, you can even make profits from it. Those bandit dens, large and small, are all treasures."
"good!"
At this time, Xu Tong's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he thought of something, he nodded hastily: "In this way, the three guards can form an army faster, and even an army that comes out of blood and fire can
! Even in the face of an invasion, we can still fight back and forth. This strategy can be said to kill three birds with one stone!"
"Killing three birds with one stone!"
Li Rui felt quite helpless. If he had other methods, would he think about this problem?
Isn't it because Liangzhou is poor? And I accidentally said the three words "Li Yulong" before, and this idea came into my mind. What should we do if we don't have guns or cannons? Then let the enemy help us build them! This method doesn't matter.
It never goes out of style and is simple and effective.
The only question is whether Xu Tong can roll this snowball!
After all, the three guards he led are now just a group of ordinary people.
Without any training, they faced murderous bandits!
"Actually, this strategy also has a drawback, that is, you must win, and you must not go on with continuous victories! Otherwise, one failure may lead to the loss of everything. That's why I want to discuss it with you.
Let's see if Brother Xu has the courage to do it!" Li Rui said softly.
Xu Tong chuckled: "Sir, you don't want to discuss this with me, but you have already made the decision and are just waiting for the duck to be put on the shelves!"
"Unfortunately, I have a bad temper. And this strategy is indeed feasible. If we need to face those guys from Beihu, it will be a bit difficult, but if it is just a group of bandits, then it will not be a problem at all!
"
"However, there is something I need to ask Master!"
Having said this, Xu Tong's face gradually became serious.
Li Rui was stunned for a moment, but he quickly understood the meaning of Xu Tong's words: "Say it!"
"Do you want an army that can fight a hundred battles? Or a power hidden in the dark?" Xu Tong said in a low voice.
When you heard this, did you feel your heart skip a beat?
Although the two appear to be the same, there are huge differences.
What Xu Tong really wants to ask is, do we really only need three guards? Or do we need to build a hidden army in addition to the three guards?
"Oh……"
When Li Rui said this, his eyes narrowed slightly and he thought carefully for a long time: "I want an army that can fight a hundred battles!"
"Master!"
Xu Tong patted his chest gently: "Don't worry, there is absolutely no problem!"
"Don't be conceited, you can go slower! But you must be steady..."
The two people walked on the street and briefly planned the specific situation of the three guards. It must be said that Xu Tong is a talent, not only with superior force, but also with very strong leadership skills.
Li Rui just put forward an idea, but Xu Tong can add a lot of his own things to this idea!
This is already very difficult!
What's more, these ideas coincide with Li Rui's.
"only……"
At this time, Xu Tong's eyes showed a bit of helplessness, and then he continued: "If I leave, then the young master's safety cannot be guaranteed!"
"Don't worry, there will be no problems in Liangzhou!"
Li Rui was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, it was true. There were not many available people around him. Xu Tong was the most convenient one. Once he left, he was really in a dilemma. Thinking carefully about the situation in Liangzhou
Who among us would take action against him?
"no!"
Xu Tong shook his head slightly and said solemnly: "It's easy to hide from open guns, but hard to guard against hidden arrows."
"Young Master's safety must not be neglected." Xu Tong thought carefully for a moment and said: "I have a junior sister who can protect Young Master. However, girls are too troublesome, so I am afraid that Young Master will not get used to it!"
"..."
Li Rui looked at Xu Tong like a fool. This chapter has been completed!
