Chapter 187 Someone cuts the beard
In the conference hall, Li Jie explained the prospects of martial arts to these noble descendants. Some people showed excitement. Compared to relying on their home arrangements, they were more willing to rely on their own abilities to gain a background, while others showed disdain. In their opinion, there was nothing wrong with making arrangements at home, at least it was easier than others.
Li Jie also saw the expressions of these people, and finally sneered and said a heavyweight news: "I know some of you are lucky, but I said it straight today. Your Majesty has made a decision. In the future, if the nobles want to enter the army, they can only enter martial arts and only after graduating from martial arts are qualified to join the army!"
As soon as the news came out, there was an uproar below again, and the excited people became even more excited. However, the person who had just shown disdain was despair, because this news blocked their retreat.
Li Jie smiled with satisfaction at the reactions of the following people. The reason why he put this news last was to see these people's previous reactions and thus master the nature of these people. It has to be said that it is still human nature to like comfort. Most people had wanted to rely on their family arrangements before, and only a few people who really had ambitions wanted to rely on themselves.
"Okay, I've finished talking about martial arts. Do you have any other problems?" Li Jie finally glanced at everyone again and asked, but everyone was silent at this time, and their minds were digesting the last news from Li Jie.
"Very good. Since everyone doesn't speak, I will pretend that you have no questions. In fact, it's useless to have questions. This is decided by Your Majesty. If you have any dissatisfaction, just go find Your Majesty!" Li Jie sneered again at the end, and even looked at Xu Tianshou, who had been smashed by himself.
The boy's face was covered in blood, but when he saw Li Jie looking at him, he shrank his neck so much that he hurriedly lowered his head and did not dare to look at him. The others were speechless when they heard this. They dared to ask Lao Zhu for advice when they were tired of living!
What Li Jie wants is this effect. Martial arts is not an ordinary academy, and the army is a violent institution, so martial arts must be inseparable from violence and the management must be very strict. Liu Ying is a good man and he will definitely not be able to do many things, so he can only let Li Jie play this black face.
Today, Li Jie came to see these noble children just to give them a warning. Now that the purpose has been achieved, Li Jie is too lazy to talk nonsense to these people anymore, and immediately stepped out of the conference hall, leaving a group of people looking at each other.
"Cousin, what you said just now is true?" Liu Yi caught up with Li Jie from behind and asked.
"Of course it's true. Cousin, what are your plans? If you don't want to develop in the army, you don't have to enter martial arts!" Li Jie also asked Liu Yi seriously at this time. In his opinion, Liu Yi was not very suitable for serving in the army. He had practiced with Mu Sheng before, and Mu Sheng did not have a high evaluation of him.
"I..." Liu Yi showed a hesitant expression when he heard this. After a while, he finally said, "I still want to participate in martial arts. No matter whether I can join the army in the future, at least it will be no harm in learning more!"
Li Jie thought it makes sense. Liu Yi was originally a person with no ambition, but after practicing with Mu Sheng for a while, his spirit was a little different. Moreover, he had no other things to do if he didn't go to martial arts. As for the two of them, they also had a manager to deal with their business, so Liu Yi didn't have to worry about it at all.
"Okay, since that's the case, cousin, you have to be prepared for hard work. There are a lot of things to learn in martial arts, and the practice is also very hard!" Li Jie nodded at the end.
"Don't worry, I'll never insist on following Commander Mu before!" Liu Yi patted his chest and smiled. At this time, Li Jie suddenly realized that his cousin had indeed changed a lot. Not only did he look much darker and thinner on his appearance, but he also became stronger and more independent in his psychology.
In the afternoon, Liu Ying came back from the Ministry of Works and brought several officials from the Ministry of Works. He then called Li Jie to join him and took the officials from the Ministry of Works for a few rounds in the military camp. Then Li Jie explained his ideas about martial arts and put forward some requirements for transformation.
After the officials of the Ministry of Works wrote down one by one, they quickly discussed a transformation plan. After reading it, Li Jie and Liu Ying felt that there was no problem, so the officials immediately transferred a group of craftsmen to start a transformation of the entire military camp.
In fact, it is a transformation, but there are not many places that need to be directly modified, because martial arts should be like a military camp, so that students can adapt to the life in the military. However, martial arts is somewhat different from military camps, such as classrooms that need to be studied and some targeted training grounds, which are the key points of the transformation.
Although there are not many places that need to be transformed, it still takes one month. Li Jie was not anxious. While supervising the transformation of martial arts, he discussed the next plan with Liu Ying. Now there are all martial arts venues and students, but there is still a big problem, that is, martial arts instructors.
Originally, Liu Ying didn't plan to be so big, so he just wanted to transfer a few generals who were proficient in military tactics from other places to the Tiecajun to talk about military tactics to the noble princes. As for whether these people learn or not, he would not be able to control them.
However, now martial arts has alarmed Lao Zhu. Obviously, he cannot be so perfunctory. He must carefully select some instructors. There are not many people who are proficient in military tactics, but the key is that martial arts students are all noble children. If the instructor's status is not high, it may be difficult to suppress these people.
"Uncle, it's okay for an ordinary instructor, but the chief instructor must be a highly respected veteran. With him supporting other instructors, he will not be afraid of the students causing trouble!" Li Jie thought about repeatedly suggesting to Liu Ying.
"But who should this person come to?" Liu Ying also had a headache at this time. Although martial arts was valued by Lao Zhu, he was just a small Marquis of Yihui. If he wanted to find a veteran with high moral character, he would probably have to be at least at the level of Duke and Marquis. With his identity, he could not invite the other party at all.
"I think it's appropriate to trust Duke!" Li Jie immediately thought of Tang He. Although Tang He's ability to lead troops to fight is not as good as Xu Da and others, he is also a famous general. The most important thing is that Lao Zhu trusts him very much, so it's perfect for him to serve as the chief instructor.
"The trustworthy Duke didn't even go back to the capital, so he resigned and returned to his hometown on the way. Why should we invite him here?" Liu Ying frowned and asked again.
"If it really doesn't work, I can only ask Your Majesty to come forward!" Li Jie thought for a while and said again. Although he had a conflict with Tang He, his relationship was pretty good, but he was not qualified to invite the other party to work in martial arts.
"It seems that this is the only way. Do you go or I?" Liu Ying nodded first, and then asked again. Although he was a scholar, Li Jie was obviously more familiar with Lao Zhu, and Lao Zhu was more willing to listen to Li Jie's opinions. He was still self-aware of this.
"I'll go. It just so happened that your Majesty and the Prince are discussing the tour recently. I will accompany you when the tour is coming." Li Jie thought for a while and said again. Zhu Biao's weight loss is progressing very smoothly, so the tour is decided next spring.
"If you want to go on a tour with the prince, what should I do about the martial arts side?" Liu Ying also said anxiously when he heard this. If Li Jie is not here, he will not be able to handle martial arts alone.
"Uncle, don't worry, you have to wait until March for a tour at the earliest. By then, the general framework of martial arts has been built. You will be enough, and I don't need to keep an eye on you anymore!" Li Jie comforted with a smile.
"But..." Liu Ying still lacked confidence. After all, he had never done anything to stand alone since he followed Lao Zhu.
"Uncle, tell you the truth. Even if I don't go on tour with the prince, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in martial arts for long!" Li Jie looked around at this time, then lowered his voice and said again.
"Why?" Liu Ying was puzzled.
"Uncle, think about it, martial arts is so important. Your Majesty and the Prince both serve in martial arts to directly control martial arts. However, our nephew and uncle serve as Xuezheng and Shaoxue respectively. There is no problem in a short period of time. Over time, do you think Your Majesty will be relieved?" Li Jie replied in a low voice again.
Liu Ying was also shocked when he heard this. Li Jie's words made a lot of sense. With Lao Zhu's suspicious personality, he would definitely not feel at ease to let both of their nephews and uncles stay in martial arts. He would not forget it. He had no ability except loyalty, but with the talent shown by Li Jie, His Majesty must have doubts.
Thinking of this, Liu Ying finally nodded and said, "I understand!"
"It's good if my uncle knows it. It's getting late. I'll go to the palace to talk to your Majesty about the chief instructor!" Li Jie said again. He had no special thoughts about Lao Zhu's suspicion. Even if he was Lao Zhu, he would probably use the same method. After all, as an emperor, he had to be suspicious and cautious in many things.
Liu Ying didn't say anything after hearing this, but just sent Li Jie to the palace in person. After Li Jie's carriage left, Liu Ying sighed secretly. He felt worthless for his nephew. He had done so much for the big [Longteng Novel Network www.xiaodaba.com] Ming, but he didn't even have a permanent official position. He was like a brick, moving wherever he needed it.
Li Jie's carriage came to the palace soon, and then he came to the warm room to ask for a meeting. Lao Zhu also summoned him quickly. When Li Jie entered the warm room, he found that Zhu Biao and Lan Yu were also here, and both of them were happy. Lao Zhu also smiled. Looking at Zhu Biao's obviously weakened belly, it was obvious that the two should have come to report the results of losing weight to Lao Zhu, which was praised by Lao Zhu.
"How is the preparations for martial arts?" Lao Zhu also asked when he saw Li Jie. He was still very concerned about martial arts.
"Report to Your Majesty, martial arts is progressing smoothly and it is estimated that it will be put into use initially at the beginning of the year. However, now there is a lack of the position of chief instructor, and a veteran with high moral character and great military achievements is needed!" Li Jie said the truth.
However, what Li Jie didn't expect was that as soon as he finished speaking, Lan Yu next to him took a step forward and recommended himself loudly: "Your Majesty, I am willing to serve as the chief instructor!"
Damn! Has someone intercepted him? Li Jie was speechless when he looked at Lan Yu. It would be fine if others were not. Lan Yu's bad temper was definitely not suitable for being the chief instructor, otherwise it would be enough for Li Jie and Liu Ying to get along with him!
