Li Yu looked at Feiwei and asked, "Are there any other situations to report to me?"

"No more, Your Highness!"

"Yeah! You go back!"

"I'm leaving!"

Feiwei bent and exited the lobby.

After he left, Li Yu thought for a while and shook his head. He should not worry about the affairs of Beijing and Wanguo. There are still many things he has to deal with now!

Li Yu went to the back garden to check out the sugarcane plantation.

During this period, after careful care by farmers, the sugarcane seeds buried underground have sprouted and broken out of the ground.

Looking around, the fields are green and the sugarcane seedlings are growing well.

Seeing Li Yu looking at the green seedlings in the field with a smile on his face, Besana followed him and asked curiously: "Your Highness, what are these?"

Li Yu said: "It's sugarcane!"

“What is sugar cane?”

"Can be used to make sugar."

Besana smiled and said, "I like to eat candy! It's so sweet!"

Li Yu smiled up and said, "Okay! When these sugarcane grow, I will make you candy!"

On the third day after Li Yu returned to Pyeongchang City, the Zhou army stationed near Jinniu Mountain retreated to Pyeongchang County.

Li Yurang Chen Fang, Gao Tu, and Qin Shengying read the letters from Princess Xing and King Zheng, and then said to the three of them with a smile: "Three generals can stay in Pingchang County in the future and manage the army well!"

Meng Liao and Guan Ying were also very happy to hear that Chen Fang, Gao Tu and Qin Shengying could stay.

Meng Liao was happy that he could get three capable generals.

Guanying was happy that he felt that he could learn a lot of skills in governing the army and fighting from Shen Fang and the other two.

Chen Fang asked seriously: "How many border troops do Your Highness plan to set up in Pyeongchang County?"

Li Yu said: "Thirty thousand."

Lu Fang had settled the accounts for him.

The organization of the border army is 10,000, and he is a vassal king and can own 10,000 troops. In addition, King Xing and King Zheng each sent 5,000 troops, which combined is 10,000.

All of these were put together, and they were exactly 30,000 pieces.

Chen Fang thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Only 30,000 soldiers and horses are probably not enough to shock the tribes of Xiaoyang."

Gao Tushen nodded in agreement and said, "Wei... I think that at least... I must set up 50,000 soldiers and horses in Pyeongchang County to force yourself to protect yourself!"

Fifty thousand pieces of work!

That's too much!

Even if 30,000 troops were formed in Pyeongchang County, Li Yu felt that it was very risky and was very likely to attract impeachment from ministers in the court. If 50,000 troops were set up, it would be great. Wouldn't it be a severance?

Li Yu frowned and paced back and forth in the hall.

While considering it, he shook his head and said, "No! If we really formed 50,000 troops in Pyeongchang County, the ministers and even the kings in the court would definitely not be willing to give up on this matter. We would then set up troops and premeditate the crime of rebellion. At that time, you and I would be in trouble!"

Chen Fang said: "Pingchang City has fallen once. If there is not enough troops to protect themselves, then even if Pingchang City is rebuilt, it may fall again in the near future!"

Hearing this, Li Yu took a deep breath.

Or, I would like to write a letter to my elder brother and ask my elder brother to agree to this matter?

Li Yu shook his head secretly again.

When my father promised to set up 10,000 border troops in Pyeongchang County, he was very afraid of his attitude. Now he wants to set up 50,000 border troops in Pyeongchang County. Even the eldest brother of the prince does not have the right to decide!

Li Yu was thinking about it when a squeak suddenly came from beside him.

He turned his head subconsciously and saw Lu Fang sitting aside, slowly drinking hot tea.

The others looked at Lu Fang with dissatisfaction, muttering in their hearts that if this bull-nosed sage is to drink tea, he will go back to his room to drink, and insist on staying here to drink tea, which will affect their affairs with His Highness!

Li Yu blinked and asked, "Can the real person have a solution?"

Lu Fang slowly put down the teacup, looked at Li Yu, and said with some meaning: "Your Highness seems to have forgotten that Your Highness is King Sunu!"

Li Yu and the generals present did not understand the intention of Lu Fang's words.

After a moment, Chen Fang, Gao Tu and Qin Shengying's eyes lit up.

Chen Fang asked excitedly: "What the real person means is that Your Highness has no right to set up too many troops in Pyeongchang County, which is also easy to cause fear and criticism. However, Your Highness can set up troops in Su Nu Tribe, and no matter how many it is set, it will not be deemed as a real person, and the court cannot control it."

“That’s right.”

Lu Fanghan nodded with a smile, he looked at Li Yu and said meaningfully: "It is not difficult for Your Highness to set up troops. What is difficult is how your Highness will support these troops."

The problem that caused everyone a headache was solved in just a few words, but he raised a new problem.

Recruiting soldiers and horses is not about pulling people over and everything goes well, but also about supporting these people.

Based on 50,000 soldiers, the money and food consumed every day is astronomical. In addition, corresponding military funds and military equipment are needed. After all, the money and food required are difficult to estimate.

Li Yu had accumulated some money in his hands, but he wanted to form an army of 50,000 people, and his money was a drop in the bucket.

"The sugarcane I got from Fanhu can be used to make sugar and sell for money, but it will take at least seven months to wait until these sugarcane grow."

Moreover, even if this first batch of sugarcane grows, it can only be used as seeds, not as used to squeeze sugar and sell for money.

After all, he had to wait at least more than a year before he could make money by selling sugar.

Lu Fang touched his beard happily, but he didn't say anything.

Li Yu looked at Lu Fang carefully and asked tentatively: "Does the real person have any good plans?"

Lu Fang said: "Your Highness might as well recruit some wood warlocks."

"oh?"

"As long as your highness recruits enough wood warlocks, it will not take even a month to ripen these sugarcane."

When Li Yu heard this, his eyes were bright.

yes!

Why didn't I think of this?

Wood warlocks can indeed accelerate their growth for plants.

Lu Fang continued: "Your Highness is a water-based sorcerer. The water condensed by the water is far superior to ordinary water. Therefore, your highness's water condensed can replenish the nutrients needed for the accelerated growth of sugarcane. In this way, sugarcane will not wither quickly when it is ripened by wood-based sorcerers."

Li Yu slapped excitedly and exclaimed: "It's still the real person who thinks carefully, so we just do it!"

On that day, Li Yu couldn't wait to write a letter to Cao Ren, asking Liangzhou's governor Cao Ren to help hire a wood-type sorcerer.

Then, he sent a letter to Princess Xing and King Zheng, each asking two people to help hire wood-type sorcerers in their respective fiefs.

I heard that Li Yu was looking for a wood warlock, but Zhang Hong recommended him one.

This person's name is Mi Rong, and he currently lives in Nanxi Village, Pyeongchang County.

Mi Rong is a wood-based medical sorcerer with excellent medical skills. He is very famous in Pyeongchang County and even the surrounding counties.

Zhang Hong also asked Mi Rong to treat his illness before, and was deeply impressed by his wood-based technique.
