Chapter 387 Luo Tingshan agreed to help
"How about this? Let me think about it." Zhu Mingqing blinked. "I will definitely not treat you unfairly!"
Luo Tingshan's eyes were unclear: "When did it start?"
He knew that Luo Huai had some manpower, but he didn't know much about Ming Qing's side.
Zhu Mingqing smiled and answered the question irrelevantly: "Your hidden injuries have healed, and you are no longer restricted by the life-extending Gu. You have also passed on your military skills to Luo Huai and Han Jing. Isn't it time to practice real kung fu with them?"
"You... want them to go to the battlefield?"
"Isn't that possible?" Zhu Mingqing said with a smile, "No matter how the world changes, those who own the army will have the greatest say. I believe we are on the same front."
Luo Tingshan was in a complicated mood.
He thought that the other party was interested in making money, and even if they took in refugees, they wanted to boost the family business.
It seems that this is just a trivial reason.
The bigger reason is to recruit troops!
His eyebrows moved slightly, and he held his forehead with a headache: "How many people are there now?"
"not much!"
"How much is not much?"
Zhu Mingqing raised his eyes and said, "About 7,000 or 8,000!"
Luo Tingshan's eyes flashed with surprise, seven or eight thousand?
In just over a month, so many people have been gathered!
It can be seen that the financial and material resources are quite abundant.
But there was no movement in the city. She concealed it too well.
Finally, he asked, "Is there enough food to feed so many people? Most of Southern Xia is suffering from drought, and some areas are even plagued by insect pests. Do you have any money left?"
As for other things, I can't guarantee it.
But the food she has now is probably enough to feed the entire Youzhou.
"How about coming?" Zhu Mingqing continued to invite, "You should have quite a few people under your command, you can bring them over to train together. As for their expenses..."
"As long as you agree, I will take care of everything!" she said generously.
Luo Tingshan raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Okay!"
Since someone is so generous, it would be his fault if he rejected his kindness.
But then Luo Tingshan saw what it meant to be truly wealthy.
In order to secretly raise this army, Zhu Mingqing specially selected a hidden hilltop and artificially dug a mountain road.
The road is full of obstacles. If there is no familiar person to lead the way, it would be hard to imagine that there are so many people hiding here.
These people lived in the mountains and thought the conditions would be difficult, but they had no shortage of fish, meat, rice and food.
Because they had enough to eat, these people had completely changed in just one month.
"Father...Mr. Feng."
Luo Huai was very surprised. He didn't expect his mother to bring his father here.
Luo Xiao frowned and walked over. While Feng Yu was talking to his second brother, he pulled his mother aside and said, "Why did you bring him here? What if the news gets leaked?"
Luo Tingshan had very sensitive ears and turned his head to look over when he heard that.
Luo Xiao glared fiercely at this tactless man.
Not shy at all!
Zhu Mingqing watched the father and son's tit-for-tat scene with great interest, but Luo Tingshan was helpless. He waved at Luo Xiao and wanted to explain.
But for some reason, Luo Xiao always disliked this man.
After all, the second brother was devoted to the other party, and even his mother was bewitched by him.
As the only sober person in the family, he must remain calm and must not be fooled by sugar-coated bullets!
"snort!"
With his arms folded across his chest, he walked straight up to Mr. Feng and said with his nose turned up to the sky: "I'm telling you, don't even think about taking advantage of the Luo family. I'll be keeping an eye on you!"
After saying that, he turned and left, not giving the other party a chance to quibble.
Luo Tingshan felt even more helpless.
Luo Huai whispered soothingly, "Father, my third brother has always had this bad temper. He didn't know your identity, so he offended you. Please don't take it to heart!"
Luo Tingshan didn't care. After all, it was better to be vigilant than to be cheated.
However, he didn't know that Luo Xiao, who was always afraid of his own death, also had such a defiant face.
Zhu Mingqing stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, a smile forming in his eyes: "Old Luo, he's your own son. If you're not happy with him, just give him a beating!"
Luo Huai was helpless, as his mother just wanted to watch the fun and not mind making trouble.
Although my father did not deliberately conceal his identity at this time, looking at Luo Xiao's attitude, he definitely couldn't guess it.
If I really go up and beat someone up, that guy will definitely fight back.
If his father's identity is exposed one day, my third brother will regret it to death.
Luo Tingshan coughed twice and changed the subject: "Where are those soldiers? Take me over to see them."
Although the weather has turned warmer, the wind in the mountains is still chilly.
After turning a corner, I saw a large and flat training ground.
Seven or eight thousand soldiers lived in this valley. They were divided into ten groups for daily training. Each group had a team leader, and was led by Luo Huai.
These soldiers were ordinary civilians who had fled from all directions to keep watch. They had not received any formal training, and although their every move did not look very formal, they still looked quite decent.
Luo Tingshan already understood their strength and said slowly, "Give me a month, and I will definitely make these people look brand new."
Zhu Mingqing had been waiting for these words, and said with a smile, "Then thank you for your hard work, General!"
Since agreeing to this, Luo Tingshan has basically lived here.
The five hundred private soldiers he brought with him also mixed in with these people. Whenever there was a test or competition, these people could take the lead.
Competition is motivation, and with no worries about food and drink, and monthly rewards based on personal performance, these new recruits are like crazy, training at full speed.
In less than a month, only about ten days, Zhu Mingqing could clearly feel that their temperaments were different.
There was a hint of blood on the young face.
"Have you taken them all to the mountains?" She looked at Luo Tingshan.
"I just came back yesterday, and my strength and speed are still not enough. I need to practice more!" said Luo Tingshan.
Zhu Mingqing nodded slightly. Compared with those special forces in his previous life, he was definitely no match for them.
However, she has added water from the Xianfu Creek to these people's medicinal baths. With the external support, they will surely recover faster.
"I heard that you cooperated with the Lin family?" Luo Tingshan suddenly changed the subject and talked about what he heard some time ago.
Zhu Mingqing smiled and said, "I can't hide anything from you. The Lin family wants food, and I have food. It's that simple!"
Even though Luo Tingshan didn't know much about farming, he knew how much grain the farm produced.
It's not enough for such consumption.
But he also knew that if someone didn't want you to know, there was no point in continuing to ask.
"Where's Mr. Xu? Did he bother you again?"
Zhu Mingqing couldn't help but smile. "You really are always worried. Xu Yan must have told him something before he left. Although I'm not giving up, I dare not go too far. Even if he has a backup plan, I can handle it. Just train these people well, and I'll have a gift for you when the time comes!"
These words immediately aroused Luo Tingshan's curiosity.
"What gift?"
Zhu Mingqing raised his eyebrows slightly and crossed his arms over his chest: "Of course I can't tell you now."
