 PS: Please vote and collect!

It took a lot of effort for Yang Fan to reject the method of purifying the six roots. He thought that this method was too urgent to practice here.

Well, if I have the opportunity to experience the mystery of this magic at home in the future.

Lying in the huge bathtub, the warm water made Yang Fan squint his eyes in comfort, while a beautiful official girl gently pressed his head behind him.

After scanning the five large bathtubs lined up, there were only three of them. Yang Fan couldn't help but asked in confusion: "Is there anyone else coming?"

Fang Yiai and the other two who were busy getting stuck in the bathtub turned their attention and replied: "I forgot to tell Brother Yishan just now. There are Chumo and Jinghuan, and they will be on duty later today.

Come over here, but depending on the time, it should be almost here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Chumo and Li Jinghuan opened the door and walked in under the guidance of the madam, followed by two official concubines.

After saying hello, the two of them took off their clothes and jumped into the big bathtub without any scruples. Then they chatted without saying a word.

"I heard that Brother Yishan beat up that boy Chai Lingwu. It's really refreshing. Brother Yishan is so awesome. He finally gave us a bad breath..."

Without opening your eyes, you could tell by the voice that it was Cheng Chumo.

At this time, Yang Fan felt so comfortable that he wanted to sleep, and responded with a faint nasal voice: "Oh? Why..."

Cheng Chumo said with conviction: "Huo Guogong has the protection of His Majesty, and Chai Lingwu is obsessed with martial arts. He often fights with people from the Zuo Wei Army. Many people have suffered at his hands. What's even more hateful is this guy's mouth.

It’s too poisonous.”

Yang Fan smiled slightly and said, "Brother Chu Mo has also suffered losses in his hands?"

It seems that Chai Lingwu is really interesting. Isn't it just like talking trash in the modern NBA arena? As long as you are not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed, and you can also improve your combat effectiveness.

Fang Yiai and the others also followed suit and snickered. Cheng Chumo, on the other hand, looked like a dead pig and said without fear of boiling water: "At least I didn't lose to him, unlike some people who are tortured every time."

These words made Fang Yiai and Du He blush slightly.

Looking at these living treasures, Yang Fan felt that it was really interesting, but in order to alleviate the embarrassment, he changed the subject and said: "Brother Chu Mo, you came so late, are you very busy on duty?"

After waving his hand to make all these officials and concubines retreat, Li Jinghuan spoke first: "Your Majesty is preparing to carry out military reform, which involves the interests of many parties. Now he does not dare to slack off at all."

Cheng Chumo also chimed in and complained: "Yes, in order to prevent trouble, all the military guards are now so nervous that they are almost exhausted."

After hearing their words, Yang Fan remembered that in the tenth year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin carried out a military reform in order to strengthen the control of central military power.

The "mansion army system" of "uniting troops with farmers" was implemented to strengthen the military power of the Tang Dynasty.

The Fubing system consists of 634 "Zhechongfu" set up across the country, which directly manage and train the Fubing. The highest jurisdiction of the Fubing is vested in the central government. Zhechongfu is mainly responsible for training and management.

The selection of the government soldiers is based on the principle of large family business, many strong men of suitable age, and brave talents. One out of every three families is selected to serve as a soldier. The age of the government soldiers is 20-60 years old.

After serving as government soldiers, all weapons, equipment and food are provided by the soldiers themselves. Soldiers who serve as government soldiers have priority in receiving land according to the number of fields stipulated in the land equalization system.

The main task of the government soldiers is to guard the capital and guard the border military towns. When the common people are recruited to serve, they are free of tax and rent. Except for those who serve, other soldiers work and farm at home like farmers, but they have to work at home every year during the slack season.

Then I went to Zhechong Mansion to engage in military exercises.

The government military system has many advantages. Soldiers are selected from among the peasants who are strong and brave, and have strong combat effectiveness. The soldiers are not professional soldiers, so the country can save a lot of military expenditures. Military power is held in the central government, and local governments only have the authority to train the army, which guarantees

centralized power.

During the Tang Dynasty, the army's military system consisted of the governor Zhechong Duwei (fourth grade), the deputy chiefs left and right Guoyi, and regiments (also called battalions) under the mansion.

Right, the team is divided into groups and has a group leader.

Each battalion has five teams, each team has three groups, each group has five commanders, and each group has ten men. The battalion is the basic unit.

According to the functions and equipment of the service, it can also be divided into mid-base, station cavalry, shooting, cross-cavalry, infantry, long water, etc.

The ranks of his subordinate officials are as follows: Biejia, Changshi, Liucao Wei, and Join the Army. These military officers are in charge of the local garrison and military households.

The scale is divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower. Military service is carried out in rotation five times a year, with about 1,000-4,000 people. At the most, there were more than 600 soldiers in the country, with a total of more than 700,000 soldiers.

One third of them are in service all year round. There is a sixteen-guard general's office in the center dedicated to the army and horses of the world. They are: left and right guards, left and right Xiao guards, left and right Wu guards, left and right Wei guards, left and right Jinwu guards, left and right leading army guards, and left and right guards.

Prison gate guards, left and right Qianniu guards.

In addition to the left and right prison guards and the left and right Qianniu guards who oversee the capital's troops and horses, the other guards also command more than 300 government soldiers in Guanzhong.

There is basically no general at the highest level, and the general is responsible for commanding all the guards.

The imperial military system gave the Tang Dynasty a powerful force and ensured victory in foreign wars.

Thinking of this, Yang Fan secretly considered whether he could profit from it.

Although he has a title, it is just a symbol of status and he does not have any power in his hands. This is why those people dared to make a fuss about beating the Fuso envoy.

Only then did he realize that a real man cannot lose his power for a day. This sentence is true whether it is ancient or modern, but it is even more true in feudal society.

The reform of the military system involves many things, including the competition between the imperial power and the aristocratic families. If you want to get a piece of the pie, it will not be that easy.

But then his eyes lit up. The imperial power and the aristocratic families were keeping an eye on the government troops, mainly the land troops. The navy of the Tang Dynasty did not receive much attention. Yang Fan thought about it if he could make some plans.

Just when Yang Fan was lost in his thoughts, Cheng Chumo continued: "Oh, by the way, brother Yishan, you should pay more attention in the near future. I heard from my father that someone wants to deal with you, but I can't find out who it is. I just know that

It’s an aristocratic family, and everyone from the prince is involved.”

At this time, Li Jinghuan also sighed:

"Yes, these people have been testing His Majesty's attitude, because it is time for the reform of the military system, and His Majesty does not want to make a big move. In order to ensure the smooth progress of this military reform, I heard that Your Majesty also held a poetry meeting before the Mid-Autumn Festival to commemorate

The purpose of selecting a son-in-law for several princesses is also to win over several ministers in the court to fight against the aristocratic family."

Yang Fan suddenly stood up from the big bathtub, and Fang Yiai, who was in the bathtub next to him, was so frightened that he also quickly stood up.

I heard Yang Fan say excitedly: "What? Because of the military reform, His Majesty actually wants to choose a son-in-law for the princess?"

It seems that there is no record of this incident in history.

Seeing Yang Fan's startled behavior, Fang Yiai and the others were startled. However, they accidentally caught a glimpse of Yang Fan's gadget. They covered their hands with each other and quickly jumped into the bathtub again. They shrank their necks and let their whole bodies submerge in the water.

There was a hint of resentment on his face, and he secretly scolded Yang Fan for making such a fuss.

Immediately, Yang Fan realized that he had gone too far, but Fang Yiai's reaction really made him laugh. This guy looked tall, but he was too disproportionate.

Looking at Fang Yiai with a half-smile but not a smile, Yang Fan jumped out of the bathtub generously. While wiping his body, he did not forget to joke: "Get up quickly. If you soak in again, your wrinkles will appear. Wait a while."

When the water gets cold, you have to shrink it into your stomach."

Fang Yiai glanced at everyone, laughed dryly, waved her hands and said, "Brother Yishan will go change clothes first. The younger brother will arrive soon. I will accompany Brother Chumo and the others..."

If it was too much, Yang Fan nodded and did not continue to joke. He gently kicked his bathtub with his foot and said, "Don't take it too seriously. As long as you show more restraint in the future, it's okay to be aggressive all the time..."

Fang Yiai's face turned red and she was about to open her mouth to explain a few words, but unexpectedly Yang Fan waved his hand: "Don't explain...I understand..."

"Ah? You haven't said anything yet, what do you know?" Fang Yiai could only open her mouth in confusion.

Fang Yiai didn't know whether he understood it or not, but Cheng Chumo and the others understood it and suppressed their smiles until their faces turned red.

Yang Fan finally understood why Princess Gaoyang married him and couldn't help it. The sex was not harmonious and her face was not handsome. This was something that could not be changed.

If the body and mind are not satisfied for a long time, secular etiquette will mean nothing to a princess with a high status.

Alas, there is no medicine in the system, otherwise you can help him. If this kid acts randomly again, he will have to keep Qingqing Prairie on his head.

A big sympathy was given to him, but this look made Fang Yiai confused. She could only look down to comfort herself. She was a little small, but she was very strong.
