Li Zhongyi deliberately interrupted and asked if he had caught the trick. Liao Shanhe knew the trick, but he couldn't help but answer.

Liao Shanhe bowed and said, "The harvest ahead is not great. People who rushed to the north from the small road have caught a lot. The time is too short and there is no progress for the time being."

Li Zhongyi knew in his heart that the tools they used to convey messages in these detailed works were in addition to wax pills, which were oral messages.

Because the Li family army widely used the system of passwords and passwords, including Jinyang, Shu Kingdom and Southern Tang, they also used their own unique password systems.

According to Li Zhongyi's guess, Jinyang's cryptographic system should be a certain book. Simply put, it is to use a fixed missing word format to frame the real information on the letter.

If he couldn't find that book, Li Zhongyi was not a genius in mathematics and cryptography. No matter how powerful he was, he would not be able to figure out the true content of the letters he had written in detail.

Military, it is one of the most widely used areas of high-tech. Especially the password system, it is simple and easy to use. You can learn to use it with a little thought.

Unless you decipher the password, even if you catch the detailed work that is mixed in the crowd, it will be difficult to quickly identify it for a while.

This is what is said that the devil is one foot taller, and the Tao is one foot taller!

Li Zhongyi nodded and said, "Just block the detailed work and send back the message, there is no need to force the detailed work."

Having said that, Liao Shanhe was still a little confused. He said in a muffled voice: "We have spent so much manpower and material resources, but we haven't even caught a single piece of work. The letter with a password is really troublesome."

Li Zhongyi couldn't help but smile and comforted Liao Shanhe: "It's okay. After regaining Jinyang, I will summon the calculators in the world and order them to think about breaking the password every day. How do you think?"

"That's good, my subordinates are looking forward to the day when they break the code." Liao Shanhe knew Li Zhongyi's character, and his master's character always means to do what he says and never speak meaningless empty words.

Li Zhongyi once said that as long as you work hard, you can grind an iron rod into a needle. Summoning talented people will only take more time to break through the cryptographic systems of other countries sooner or later.

There are anti-detailed work now and in the future. As long as there are huge differences in interests or potential threats, someone will send detailed work to spy on intelligence and deliver information.

When Li Zhongyi arrived at the Central Army camp, the Guards had already set up camp to rest, and the entire camp was immersed in a deep sleep, except for the Army Senate.

When the army goes out, the General Senate will divide more than half of the senators to participate in the planning work of accompanying the army.

The existence of the Senate Department helped the generals who led the troops to relieve a lot of trivial matters, so that they only need to consider the issue of winning, without worrying about the marching route, combat queue, and logistics supplies and other extremely troublesome work.

At first, everyone believed that the establishment of the General Senate was just to implement the basic principle of Li Zhongyi's decentralization of power and checks and balances in the army.

Now, all the generals leading the troops, without exception, have realized that the existence of the Senate Department is definitely an epoch-making milestone in the history of human military.

The Senate Department has refined the map of the specific well, the tactical sand table with extremely clear mountain trends and chart-based logistics material reserve maps. All of this is definitely not a waste of time to do anything, but has become an indispensable decision-making tool for middle and senior generals in the Li family army.

In the process of war, from ancient times to modern times, the military intelligence field has become more and more refined, and the generals have increasingly relied on various tools to assist in decision-making.

For example, reconnaissance satellites in the sky, reconnaissance aircraft, various sensors on the ground, etc.

In war, whoever has more information, even if it only takes a short time to know ahead of time, is enough to change the direction of war.

Under the standardized training system, the Li family army is not short of brave soldiers now, but more outstanding auxiliary officers and personnel.

The Senate Department, Logistics Department, and Military Law Department are short of people everywhere, especially qualified and useful talents, and everyone will rush to ask for them.

No matter what century it is, the competition for talents will always be the top priority for rulers.

After dismounting in front of the gate, Li Zhongyi did not immediately enter the central army's tent, but turned around and went to the large tent of the military senatorial department on the left.

When the guard in front of the door saw that Li Zhongyi was coming, he was about to beat his chest and salute. Li Zhongyi quickly raised his index finger and blocked his mouth, signaling the guard to silence.

Li Zhongyi likes to see real phenomena, but does not want to be deceived by the illusions created by his subordinates, so he often randomly checks the work status of his subordinates.

The higher the status, the further away from the masses, the longer the chain of information transmission will be.

Most of the founding monarchs in history knew the sufferings of the people, so they were not easily deceived by bureaucratic groups. After the dynasty had passed down for more than three lifetimes, the heirs of the empire had been with women from the deep palace for many years and lived a good life of luxury and food. It was easy to make a joke about why not eat meat.

When Li Zhongyi walked into the Senate tent, the tent was in full swing. He couldn't help but stop and listen to the content of the quarrel.

"Our army has achieved mules and horse transformation, traveling at least ninety miles a day, which is more than three times faster than an ordinary army. It will definitely catch Jinyang off guard."

"You think it's too simple. Now it's clear, and the bronze artillery team can still keep up with the team. If there is a heavy rain falling from the sky and the road is muddy, can you still keep up?"

"I have a basis for speaking. The artillery teams in the artillery battalion are equipped with mud-proof sandbags, engineer shovels and other items. If necessary, they can fully build the path for artillery vehicles to travel."

"Or, otherwise, if it's a heavy rainy day, will the sandbags be enough?"

"As long as the sandbag is not crushed, it can be used continuously. If it really doesn't work, you can also use the stone slab..."

While listening silently, Li Zhongyi raised the corners of his mouth slightly. There is no need to say much about the importance of bronze cannons to the Li family army.

The problem is that the movement of the bronze artillery is deeply affected by terrain, roads and weather conditions.

During the imperial autocratic era, whether it was an internal war or an external war, the role played by ordinary people was to carry their shoulders and backs.

However, after Li Zhongyi took over the real power of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the rural troops trained in various places became crucial support for the large army to march.

In this embarrassment of the official road being incomplete and even disrepair, the townships of each county, each pavilion and each village can organize the strong men among the villagers and act as temporary road construction teams along the way.

After Li Zhongyi came to power, he did not cancel the labor service immediately. It was really abolished, but instead did the bad things with kindness.

The logic is very simple. The core reason why corvee labor is terrible is that local officials can use this to slander people, which can often easily lead to many tragedies such as family destruction and people's life being miserable.

Although Li Zhongyi did not abolish the corvee service, he made special regulations, prohibiting local officials from levying corvee service and handing over the power of corvee service to inspectors from various prefectures and counties.

The inspectors of various prefectures and counties, without exception, were all transferred officers selected from the Li family army.

Li Zhongyi made strict and clear restrictions on the scope of corvee labor. In addition to building bridges and roads for common causes, he also helped others collectively. For example, helping widows, widows, widows, orphans, build houses and carry water.

During the period of dynasty, if local officials deliberately do evil, the suffering of corvee labor would be more than ten times more than that of high land rent.

After all, Li Zhongyi is the soul of modern people. He has never had the idea of ​​using people's power in vain. The expenses of building bridges and paving roads in the name of corvee are allocated by the official warehouse to allocate grain and money.

Li Zhongyi has been reading the township military team that has been going on until now, and has to be strong both hands. It not only requires the township military team to basically meet the requirements of national defense strategic reserve forces, but also requires the township military team to be pulled out to repair bridges and pave roads anytime and anywhere.

If you want to be rich, build roads first!

Only when the road is opened can merchants come in and sell local goods smoothly. This is an extremely simple principle.

Senate officers, after arguing and debating, it is still a question in the final analysis: Is the road clear?

There was no way to go to Jinyang. Although Chai Rong began to recruit people to repair the road when he was in power, the progress was extremely slow.

It is no exaggeration to say that the road investigation report before the dispatch of troops clearly records the following facts: at least two-thirds of the official road from Kaifeng to Jinyang was unable to move up the artillery team smoothly.

Li Zhongyi brought out Kaifeng with all the light 6-pound cannons. If it was a 12-pound cannon weighing more than a thousand kilograms, it would be even more difficult to move forward.

"I said, from a certain family's opinion, it is better to order the rural troops along the way to build two roads that are only for wheels to pass. In this way, the expenses are the lowest, the cost is the lowest, and the effect is very fast. Just imagine, the wheels are wider? We only need to temporarily strengthen the rut lane slightly wider than the wheels, so that we can drag the cannon trucks to Jinyang and even Youzhou smoothly."

Li Zhongyi thought about it carefully, and his eyes suddenly lit up. Isn’t this a variant of the train track?

No wonder the old saying goes well. Three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang. The brainstorming free speech can easily lead to sparks and bring unexpected inspiration.

"Brother Youwu, you are truly the famous Zhiduoxing in our General Senate..."

"Not bad, not bad, not bad..."

"Save labor, save money, save time, save all three, good, very good..."

“Great kindness…”

Li Zhongyi naturally cannot be unfamiliar with this brother Youwu. Youwu is his name, his real name is Zhang Fuji, the former commander of the Hechi Township Army, and currently the commander-level senator of the Senate Department.

Among the entire Li family army, the General Senate Department is actually the most active department. As long as it is closed, the Senate officers can say anything and do not need to bear any responsibility.
