Those ten thousand people were originally the elite of each guard.
Coupled with Lin Xuan's training methods and Xue Rengui's strict training, he is much stronger than before.
Although the combat effectiveness has not yet been tested, Yuchi Baolin and others are very confident in the combat effectiveness of these ten thousand people.
"The more you sweat during training, the less you will bleed during war. There will probably be a war next year, and you will have to pay more attention during this period. I don't want you to regard soldiers as bargaining chips for your own achievements. They will follow you to the battlefield without begging you.
Bring them all back, but you must try your best to make them sacrifice as little as possible." Lin Xuan said seriously.
Men are the backbone of the family. Even if a soldier dies in battle, the court will pay some pension, but that pension is of little use at all.
"Don't worry, Lord Marquis, we understand." Xue Rengui said, cupping his fists.
Lin Xuan nodded. He was relatively reassured about Xue Rengui. Those words were meant for Cheng Chumo and others.
"Rengui, are you getting married too?" Lin Xuan asked.
Xue Rengui nodded sheepishly.
He is the only son in the family. It was because his family was too poor and his mother needed to be taken care of that he postponed it until now. Otherwise, Mrs. Xue would have helped him organize it long ago.
Lin Xuan had a headache. He didn't know when Xue Rengui got married in history, but it shouldn't be now, right?
You must know that Xue Rengui's son Xue Ne is also a famous general.
Many people think that Xue Rengui's son is Xue Dingshan. In fact, Xue Dingshan is a character in the novel, and his prototype is Xue Na.
Xue Na is not good at talking or laughing, but he is calm and brave.
During Wu Zetian's period, he guarded the border and resisted the Turks, and made many military exploits.
Lin Xuan didn't know if Xue Rengui would get married early and whether Xue Ne would still be born.
But he can't stop Xue Rengui from getting married, and there is no reason.
"You are now a general of the Tang Dynasty. You cannot lose face. I will send you five hundred guan to Mrs. Xue later and buy some betrothal gifts." Lin Xuan said.
Xue Rengui said quickly: "Master Hou, you have helped me a lot. I can't ask for your money anymore."
He was very grateful to Lin Xuan. If it weren't for Lin Xuan, he would have to take care of his old mother and didn't know when he would be able to join the army.
Even if you join the army, you have to start from a small soldier, unlike now that you are a full-level sixth-grade military general, your starting point is who knows how much higher.
Lin Xuan waved his hand and said, "Just think of it as borrowing it from me. We're about to go to war. With your talent, are you afraid that you won't be able to pay it back? I found you, so you can't lose me."
Part of the seizures in the war will be rewarded to generals and soldiers. If they have made meritorious service, the court will also give other rewards.
If a grassland war breaks out, as long as Xue Rengui can make a contribution, five hundred guans will not be a problem for him.
Military generals in war years were much richer than civil servants. Of course, the premise was that civil servants were not greedy.
"By the way, I have something to tell you." Lin Xuan told Cheng Chumo and others about going overseas, including the distribution of profits.
"Let me tell you, those Fusang people were so generous. They gave my family five thousand taels of silver as an apology." After hearing this, Yuchi Baolin suddenly realized.
Lin Xuan cursed in his heart, Fusang people really treat each other differently.
The Duke's family gave him five thousand taels, but he only had three thousand taels. It was obvious that he looked down upon him.
"What I mean is, each of your four families takes half." Lin Xuan said.
Lin Xuan did not count Xue Rengui. Xue Rengui was only a sixth-grade military general now, and he was not qualified to participate in such a thing.
Cheng Chumo said: "No, each of our families takes half, which is 20%. Duke Geng takes half, plus His Majesty and your master, the total is 85%. You paid for the money and did the work. You
It’s just such a small amount, which is too little.”
"Yes, Zichu, I don't want him anymore," Qin Huaidao said.
The Cheng family and the Yuchi family had the merit of following the dragon. After Li Shimin succeeded to the throne, Li Jing also made the contribution of destroying the country. Li Shimin would not care about having more wealth.
But the Qin family is different. Qin Qiong did not participate in the Xuanwu Sect incident, and she never went to the battlefield due to physical reasons afterwards. Too much money was not a good thing for their family.
Of course, Lin Xuan knew Qin Huaidao's concerns, waved his hand and said: "Just as I said, I have told your Majesty about this matter."
Lin Xuan didn't value money very much. There were only a few people in his family, and they had plenty of food and fish every day. How much could they spend?
In ancient times, there were regulations on travel and residence. If you didn't pay attention, you would exceed them, and you would have no place to spend your money.
It's different for Cheng Yaojin and others. Not only do they have a lot of daily expenses, but they also have many heirs. They don't have anyone to buy some properties, so they spend almost everything.
Seeing this, Qin Huaidao did not continue to decline. Anyway, it was just talk now and not confirmed yet.
When he went back, he planned to tell his father about the matter and let him decide.
"Zi Chu, I don't know what we need to do? It would be really embarrassing if we didn't do anything." Cheng Chumo said.
"If you want to help, just send someone out. Find more people with good water skills and firm minds. Next spring, go to sea with my master to learn navigation skills." Lin Xuan said.
The sailing speed of ancient ships was slow, and it took several months to go back and forth. The vast sea surface was endless, which may seem novel at first, but over time, people with uncertain minds might go crazy.
Cheng Chumo asked: "How many people are needed?"
"There are three hundred people in total. I am going to find fifty people from the village. You can take care of the rest." Lin Xuan said.
"The remaining two hundred and fifty people will be taken care of by my Cheng family." Cheng Chumo said.
"I think you're just a 250-year-old. What will we do if you take over?" Yuchi Baolin said angrily.
"Yuchi Baolin, do you want to fight?" Cheng Chumo said angrily.
After hanging out with Lin Xuan for a long time, they all learned some new words from Lin Xuan's mouth.
Two hundred and five is a curse word, he naturally knows it.
"Just fight, whoever is afraid of whom!" Yuchi Baolin rolled up his sleeves and took a stance.
Lin Xuan said quickly: "Okay, you guys will share the rest equally."
He could tell that if Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin hadn't been arguing just now, Li Dejiao and Qin Huaidao would also have spoken.
Lin Xuan didn't know. Isn't it just a matter of showing up? What's there to fight for?
In fact, on the one hand, Cheng Chumo and the others wanted to make some efforts, and on the other hand, they wanted to provide some sailors at home.
When merchant ships go to sea, how can they not be jealous of such huge profits?
It's just that they didn't have any talents in this field before, and those aristocratic families who went overseas to do business were deliberately exclusive, so they couldn't participate at all.
Now that they have such a good opportunity, how could they be willing to give it up?
When the time comes, they will be able to form a fleet and go out to sea for business.
Of course, what they want is to do business, not to start a new business and go out to sea to hunt for treasure.
After discussing the matter of going to sea, it was already noon, and Lin Xuan asked his servants to deliver lunch.
"Do you want to drink?" Lin Xuan asked after a few people sat down.
"I won't drink any more. I have to go to the military camp in the afternoon," Cheng Chumo said.
The military camp has military camp rules. Although they have a noble status, they must abide by the military camp rules if they want to convince the public.
After eating, Cheng Chumo and others took the quilts and cotton sent by Lin Xuan and left the Lin family.
Lin Xuan asked them to go back and make cotton-padded clothes with that cotton.
After sending Cheng Chumo and others away, Lin Xuan got the news that Lin Dongyang was ill.
