I took Luge back to the City Lord's Mansion, to be precise, to the new City Lord's Mansion.
It turned out that the dilapidated city lord's mansion was naturally abandoned by me, so I don't want that thing anymore. I took Alaya and Felita to move to Pierce's house. Anyway, the owner of the house is gone, so I'm not occupying the magpie's nest, at most it's confiscating the unowned land.
After sitting down, I first asked him a few questions on the sidelines to make sure he wasn't an undercover agent sent by another territory.
This is actually a bit redundant, but it is still necessary in my opinion. This is the first army I organized in Yuxi City. If the leader of the army is a 25-year-old boy, this army is not worth it. But it turns out that since I am too good in the eyes of others now, no undercover agent will be sent to Yuxi City at all.
This made me feel relieved, but also a little sad for some reason.
Luge didn't think as much as I did, but he was a little nervous, his body was tense, and he asked:
"My lord, what do I need to do?"
I took a look at this twenty-four or five-year-old young man. He was solidly built, with disheveled black hair and a beard that hadn't been shaved for a while. He looked like a wanderer. Seeing this, I said solemnly:
"You shaved me your beard."
"Huh?? Shaving??"
I nodded:
"Yes. This item is included in the military style and military discipline. I will make a list for you later. It is some military regulations. Don't worry, there is nothing impossible to do. It is just to urge our people not to slack off. Except In addition, you should remember that our army does not practice the outside routine. There are a few points you must remember. First, we don’t take the people’s needles and stitches. Work, improve their ideological awareness, especially the small captains, they should be drawn out to train more, and they should not be allowed to develop some bad habits; in addition, various competitions must be held on a regular basis, and prizes must be given out, I will call you back military expenditures will be listed as an additional expense for this item.”
Lu Ge half understood what he heard, but he wrote it down very carefully.
I continued:
"Besides, it's the issue of food. It's time to eat meat. Meat should be guaranteed every two days. This is the basis. I will give you the money. Don't worry. You don't have to worry about money anyway. Don’t practice the formation or anything else, we don’t have talent reserves in this area. You just need to help everyone lay the foundation, they are not the army yet, they belong to the reserve army.”
Lugar replied:
"It's just a matter of laying the groundwork...it's not difficult."
not difficult?
You will suffer later.
When the time comes when the skin is peeled off by the sun, the flesh is bloody from being worn by the weight belt, and the throat is dry and sweaty, don't forget what you are talking about now...
I smiled in my heart and said:
"That's good. I'll leave the army to you for the time being. Anyway, in our plan, it won't be needed for the time being. Let the soldiers prepare for danger in times of peace and train every day."
Luge nodded, hesitated, and then said:
"But one meal of meat every two days...wouldn't it be a bit expensive?"
I shook my head:
"It's okay. There is also a reasonable combination of vegetables. Alaiya will teach you this part later, and you can set up a separate cooking class to learn from her."
Lugar nodded modestly.
At this moment, Alaiya came in with a plate of dishes and said:
"Master, it's time to eat."
I casually said:
"Just let it go."
Stewed cabbage with a chopstick of radish, the bland taste is a kind of torment to chew. But I still insisted and said without changing my face:
"There is also the name of our army. Don't mention it for the time being. Let's call it the reserve army. Tell the soldiers that when they officially go to the battlefield, I will personally give the name to this army. Let them work hard for this day .”
"good."
I pushed the radish stewed cabbage in front of him, added a pair of chopsticks for him, and said:
"Eat a piece if you're hungry?"
Luge looked flattered, but after thinking twice, he still shook his head.
For the people below, eating with the city lord is still too stressful.
Actually, I just want someone to help me eat these tasteless things...
It looks like I have to come by myself.
I sighed and continued:
"And our military song. I've basically figured it out, can you sing? I'll sing it to you once, and then you can teach it."
Lugar looked all ears.
I cleared my throat.
"Unity~knot is strength~quantity! Unity~knot is strength~quantity~this strength is—"
Alaya said seriously:
"Master, I'm out of tune."
I asked her dissatisfied:
"Have you ever heard the original song?! You know it's out of tune?"
Alaya replied:
"No. But the young master has sung seven or eight versions in the past few days, and it's different every time he opens his mouth."
I was speechless for a while, and finally said to Luge:
"Anyway, that's probably how it feels! Get it, highlighting a unity. Later, you can discuss it among yourself, and I won't care about it."
Luge nodded with a suppressed smile.
I dismissed him casually.
Unexpectedly, within two days, mysterious remarks spread in the city. Li De, the new city lord, is diligent and thrifty. He eats radish and stewed cabbage for every meal, but requires the army to eat meat every two days. The people were greatly moved when they heard this, and spontaneously sent the radishes and cabbages grown at home to the city lord's mansion, piled up as high as a hill.
"That's great, master. This is really enough for several months."
Alaya gave a rare smile.
I hid in bed and cried for a long time that day.
