The registration lasted for two days. Liu Penzi felt that it was almost done, so he ordered the reorganization of the army. At this time, he had received 15,000 stones of grain, 1,200 cloth, and a large amount of silver and money. Many generals gave a lot of gold, silver and jewelry in addition to the price of recruitment, hoping that their children would live a little better under the emperor.

Liu Penzi accepted all of them with a smile. Anyway, the two thousand soldiers would have many big and small leaders. Rewarding a few of them would be considered as giving these people face. His Majesty the Emperor of Han learned the way of selling official positions and titles early. However, he only wanted to sell small leaders, and the leaders had to choose according to their qualifications and abilities, otherwise the combat effectiveness of the army would be affected.

Liu Xiaqing helped find another courtyard, not far from the palace. As the garrison of Shangyiku, the team of female seamstresses, which expanded to more than 100 people, were moved there, and all the cloth was stored there.

Shangyiku started construction day and night to sew military uniforms for the Yulin Army. The emperor asked to make one set of summer uniforms for each person first and then do the rest slowly later. With experience in making more than 100 sets of military uniforms last time, the speed will definitely be faster this time, and it does not require each person to measure the body. It is only divided into several standard numbers according to the commonly used sizes. Each number is sewn to a certain number, so that the soldiers can choose their own numbers.

The palace is divided into two parts, and the front yard is used as a grain warehouse and a miscellaneous warehouse, entering and exiting through the front door; the back yard is the place where the emperor lives, and the money and treasures collected are also placed in the back yard, which is called the emperor's inner warehousing.

Liu Penzi calculated that he had two thousand big soldiers now, one of the Shangyiku, one of the grain warehouse, one of the arsenal warehouse, and one of the inner warehouse. He had saved up such a large family business in just a few days, and he was quite satisfied with himself. It can be seen that if the title of emperor was used well, it would be very useful.

He knew the importance of literati and wanted to recruit some. Shenjing Lane was a gathering place for wealthy households, and most of the people there were well educated. A few days ago, the emperor sent people to deliver food to save the hungry people in the local area, and recruited some people to use it.

Two of these literati are more prominent. One is Zheng Shen, forty-eight years old, with a knowledgeable knowledge. He was a very famous Confucian scholar in the local area. He was summoned by Liu Penzi as a Lang; the other is Luo You, who is also a child of a wealthy family, and is only twenty-five years old. After Liu Penzi talked to him, he thought this person was extraordinary, so he also recruited him as a Lang.

These two men and a group of literati made great efforts in the recruitment work of the Yulin Army. As soon as the recruitment work was finished, Liu Penzi ordered that Zheng Shen preside over the establishment of a Shaoxue School, organize people to teach separately, and teach the Yulin soldiers to read.

As for the textbook, according to the emperor's instructions, the simpler the better. If you throw away the commonly used Confucian classics, you will only teach commonly used characters. The requirements are not high. Each person will first know 300 Chinese characters.

In the eyes of these literati, this emperor was not like a mud-legged rebellion at all. Fan Chong and others never took literati seriously, which discouraged the literati who wanted to serve. After the Red Eyebrow Army entered the city, it only knew how to plunder, which made the people resentful. However, the little emperor was different. Not only did he value literati, but after he had food, he immediately issued a kind order: the whole city to provide disaster relief.

Liu Penzi's family is limited and cannot stand up to the big things. The military and civilians can only treat them separately. Simply put, it is to be generous to the soldiers and the people. The Yulin Army has three meals a day, two do it and one sparse, and only two meals are provided to the people, and it is all porridge. As long as the people are kept alive, they will not starve to death, because the fields have been cultivated long ago, and only need to wait for the autumn harvest, each household will naturally have food to eat.

Zheng Shen was responsible for the disaster relief. The emperor also sent Qian You from Jinzhen Lane as his deputy. They summoned the locals to serve porridge at regular locations and in the east, west, south and north of the county town, so that Qian You and a group of young men in the alleys maintained the order of disaster relief.

For a military enthusiast, having his own army is an exciting thing, and it is also a good thing that he could never dream of in his previous life. No matter what the future holds, Liu Penzi has temporarily thrown aside his idea of ​​being a fool, just wanting to manage this Yulin Army well and build them into a truly strong army.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xiaqing was reporting the emperor's recent situation to Prime Minister Xu Xuan and Grand Secretary Yang Yin.

"I'm so brave. One person has six stones of grain and six feet of cloth. I really dare to open this mouth!" Yang Yin was a little impressed. "It's done! He has pulled up a personal army of 2,000 people and squeezed out seven battalions of 10,000 stones of grain reserves. It's hard for him to come up with such an idea!"

"These generals have always said that there is no food or food, so where did the more than 10,000 stones of food come from? These people have always made their own plans, and none of them are concerned about the overall situation!" Xu Xuan had a gloomy face.

No wonder he was unhappy. Xu Xuan once transferred grain to various battalions repeatedly, but repeatedly hit a wall. Unexpectedly, as soon as the little emperor took action, these people were scrambling to send people food and money. This comparison shows that he, the prime minister... Alas, why is the gap between people so big?

"More than 10,000 stone grain is enough for two thousand Yulin Army to eat for a year. Captain Liu, in this way, you go and discuss with Your Majesty and borrow some food to provide food for the army." Yang Yin, in charge of the entire army's money and food, his first idea was how to capture the 10,000 stone grain.

"The Grand Secretary, I'm afraid this won't work... Your Majesty said that the money and grain in the palace and the military supplies of the Yulin Army should be provided by the Grand Secretary," Liu Xiaqing smiled ugly, thinking to himself that you were talking lightly. Why should you give the grain you deceived with your strength to give it to you for nothing? You can't transfer the grain from each battalion, and you're here to attack the emperor. Is it easier for the little emperor to talk to than the generals of each battalion? And... He is obviously General Liu, why should you call him Liu's lieutenant?

Yang Yin was a little surprised, "What? Now he is a rich man, and he still wants to ask me for money and grain? My big warehouse is for hundreds of thousands of troops to use, and everything is money! His two thousand people, who are guarding more than 10,000 stone grain, aren't it enough?"

"Grandmaster, according to my old Liu, it is not necessarily enough... There is a lot of food, but it can't stand the consumption!" Liu Xiaqing stretched out his finger and pressed it one by one. "The two thousand Yulin Army has to eat three meals a day, two dry meals. Those half-aged and half-aged men have a larger appetite than adults, so they really try their best to eat. There are also those tailors, although they are women, their appetite is not much smaller than men. There are also those literati, who are not as good as tailors. Tailors can also make military uniforms, but what else can literati have to eat besides spending food? Calculate, how much corn these people have to eat? Also, the most consuming thing is that the people in the city who cannot eat now eat His Majesty, and there are tens of thousands of people!"

"I heard that the whole city is doing relief and porridge. What's going on?" Xu Xuan asked.

"I know this. From yesterday morning, there were four porridge spots in Xicheng Jinzhen Lane, Nancheng Shenjing Lane, Dongcheng, and Beicheng. I passed by during the inspection. There were yellow flags in each place. The scene was crowded, as if the whole city had come. At first, I was shocked and thought that the mob caused trouble, but the result was a false alarm. Although there were many people, they were still orderly. If anyone wanted to go to the line to make trouble, someone would immediately take care of it. At the least, scold it, and whip it, and put all the people in obedience."

Yang Yin sighed: "I always felt that Your Majesty was childish and could not help but make a little nonsense. But based on this matter, Your Majesty is indeed a kind-hearted person and acts well. Oh... he is a good child."

Xu Xuan frowned and said, "The last time I collected tax grains, I now donate porridge. Our Majesty is getting faster! He wants to support the people... Although others call us the Red Eyebrow Army, they are also the people after all. If Your Majesty can support our own people, hundreds of thousands of people will repay them for their death. If you support the people of Zheng County, you may have to waste the money and food! It's a pity! No matter how much food he has, no matter how much food he has, the people still starve to death."

Yang Yin's face turned red, "It's possible that there are edible things in the mountains and fields now, and they can be eaten with porridge. In two months, the autumn grain will be ripe, and the people will also have food to eat. This time, the robbery of the seventh camp was too much, resulting in the people having no food. This is also considered as His Majesty paying off the debts they owed!"

Xu Xuan looked at him and said slowly, "In two months... I'm afraid our army's military rations will be left." He didn't say the second half, but Yang Yin understood what he meant. If there was no military ration, he had to rob it. After all, the people were unlucky.

Yang Yin sighed, "I hope I can conquer Chang'an early, and the rich city of Chang'an will not worry about having no food at that time?"

Xu Xuan said: "Grandmaster, according to your opinion, should we give it to the money and food required by the imperial palace and the Yulin Army or not?"

"The use of palaces is provided by the public, but in my opinion, the cost of raising troops is better to refer to the methods of the camps and raise them by themselves except during the war. Anyway, Your Majesty has more than 10,000 stone grain, and you can recruit more soldiers if you don't have any food. I want to see what tricks Your Majesty has? Could it be that he can turn it into food?"

"Okay, just follow the Grand Secretary's farmers. There is only so much food. Let Your Majesty weigh the food for you! "Xu Xuan of the Seventh Camp has been reluctant to take it in his hands many times. Liu Pengzi easily took it in his hand. Xu Xuan had no shame to ask him for it, so he had to see the big piece of fat being swallowed by the little emperor.

On the way back, Liu Xiaqing met Liu Xiao. The former Xi'an Hou was like some people who regarded the road as their living room in later generations. He suddenly appeared in front of General Niu and Horse's horse, almost causing a striking traffic accident.

"Brother Liu, Brother Liu! Where do you want to go?" Liu Xiao pulled Liu Xiaqing's leg and called out loudly. The intimate look seemed to be a woman who saw her husband who had finally returned home.

Liu Xiaqing had no choice but to dismount and greeted with a smile: "Where can I, Old Liu? I just came from the Prime Minister and rushed back to serve His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty is now providing disaster relief and receiving the people, and the people are all grateful. I couldn't help crying when I heard this. Such a benevolent lord is really rare since ancient times!" Liu Xiao's muscles twitched, and he looked like he was worried about the country and the people.

"No, I, Old Liu, have never seen such a good emperor. This is also our fate to meet His Majesty today."

Liu Xiao sneered in his stomach. The Red Eyebrow Army had always lacked food. Xu Xuan had turned pale due to food sorrow. Now he had just had a few days of full meals, but this prodigal Liu Benzi used military rations to feed the untouchables. It would be strange if Xu Xuan was not angry to death.

He murmured in his stomach, but said, "I can't bear to see the people suffering, and allocate military rations to fill the people's stomachs. It's enough to be called benevolence. I believe the Prime Minister and the Grand Chief Peasant also praised His Majesty!"

"That's it! Not only the Prime Minister and the Grand Chief Peasant, as long as they have a heart, who can't praise the Lord of Benevolence after hearing this?" Liu Xiaqing was so proud that he seemed to have been praised.

Liu Xiao's face changed, and anger rose in his dantian. Fuck, he was still unreasonable? He went to Shenjing Lane to rob him to raise food for the army. The wise ruler now gives food to help the people solve the problem. The lord of benevolence. No matter what, he is Liu Pengzi, right?

Liu Xiao held back his anger and watched General Niu Ma leave. He turned around and walked towards Shenjing Alley. Grandma, I also drank porridge. Who wouldn't drink the porridge for free? If you don't drink it, you're a fool! Let him have food! I'll let him be kind!
