Humane Yongchang

Chapter 210
After dinner.

Chen Shougao sat at the top of the hall, holding a bone needle and picking his teeth in an unimpressive manner. "Tsk tsk" praised: "Qingniang's cooking skills are getting better and better, and the county chef's skills are not as good as hers!"

Chen Dao sat on the left holding a cup of fragrant tea, and said with a smile: "That's true, if it weren't for the busy military affairs, I would like to go home for dinner every day!"

Chen Jun is not interested in drinking tea. The tea from the Chen family was brought back from Shouchun by Chen Sheng, and the brewing method is not the soup style of Yangzhou with salt and various spices, but the method of boiling water in his previous life. The way of making tea.

This kind of fresh drink with a slightly bitter taste and a sweet aftertaste has a very small audience at present.

Most people still prefer syrups with added honey.

"It's easy!"

Chen Sheng jokingly said with a smile: "You can find an aunt to come to the house, and I will ask Qing Niang to teach her how to cook?"

Chen Shouchi smirked.

Chen Dao was also blushed by Chen Sheng's troubles, and he thought it was a little funny. He pointed at him angrily and scolded: "I think your son is going to be turned upside down. Even the marriage of the elders, you dare to joke!"

Chen Sheng shrugged helplessly: "I don't want to worry about it, but you're not in a hurry. Look, you're still alone now, and Mother Qing and I might have children that day. The girl is behind me and Qingniang, should he call my children elder brothers or sisters, or should he call my children nephews and nieces?"

"Hahaha……"

Chen Shou finally couldn't help laughing out loud, slapped the court case and said loudly: "This is good, this is good, I will follow him for a generation!"

"Okay!"

Chen Dao called out angrily and said, "You two have joined forces to make fun of me!"

Chen Sheng: "How can it be, isn't this a life-long event that concerns you? You said, it's been almost a year since you were relieved and returned to the field? For the uncles who are with you, the matter of starting a family and starting a business has already been put on the agenda, and you are the only one who pays A bachelor, going all day in the lonely wind and in the lonely rain, this is going to be spread out, and others may not know how to arrange our grandfather!"

"Extremely great!"

Chen Shou smiled and said earnestly: "Knife, this matter really can't be delayed any longer, if you really don't look down on these arrogant tiger girls in Chen County, then my brother will go to Yingchuan to give you this time. Looking for two knowledgeable and reasonable ladies, there are many family heirlooms over there, and you are satisfied with keeping them!"

Chen Dao blushed, got up and said, "Are you still talking about the business? If you don't say I can leave?"

"Tell me about..."

Chen Sheng quickly got up and pressed him back on the chair, and said helplessly: "When you talk about this matter, you are always concerned about it, but this matter has to be resolved. You can't be alone for the rest of your life, right?"

Chen Dao glared at him with dead fish eyes expressionlessly: The young man is a good man, but unfortunately he opened his mouth more...

Chen Sheng sat back in his chair, took a sip from the tea cup at hand, and then said calmly, "This time, the troops will be divided into two groups to attack Chen Liu and Yingchuan. The focus is not on fighting, but on taking!"

"Chen Liuhao said that the soldiers, horses and nobles in the county were all invaded by the wave of yellow scarves last year, and they were cleaned up. Worth mentioning!"

"In addition, I already dispatched Wu Guang to Chenliu last year, and now the Four Seas Gang he has built over there has covered more than half of the counties under Chenliu's jurisdiction, and as soon as my Red Army arrives, it will be easy to get them. Its city!"

"Regarding Chen Liu, Uncle Dao only needs to move steadily and advance step by step, without fear of making mistakes!"

"Yingchuan is a little more difficult. There are many aristocratic families there, and the families are closely connected. In addition, they have not been affected by the Yellow Turban Rebellion. It is not easy for eight thousand red-clothed troops to take Yingchuan!"

"But I believe that the rabble put together by the private soldiers of the aristocratic families and the county soldiers will not be able to stop me in the red army, nor can it stop you, daddy!"

"So, to conquer Chenliu and Yingchuan, it's not about fighting, but about taking it!"

Chen Sheng opened his five fingers and made a fist gesture: "Take control of these two counties!"

After a pause, he didn't wait for the two to interrupt, and then continued: "This battle, the boy has prepared three magic weapons for you!"

"One, recruit troops!"

"Every time you go to the next city, you will set up a recruiting office, and recruit soldiers wildly. Those who join the army will be exempted from corvé service and given to their fields!"

"The recruited soldiers will form a security regiment on the spot, and train these security regiments with the training method of my Red Army!"

"Second, take the land!"

"Every time you go to a city, in the shortest possible time, you will convene a meeting of the big families and the rich and powerful in the city. Those who should be killed and those who should be chased away. Those who are willing to vote for my Chen County, their families will all move into Chen County!"

"All in all, I don't want the floating wealth in the hands of all the aristocratic families and the rich and powerful, but the fields and grains in their hands will be confiscated!"

"Three, military control!"

"Every time we go to the next city, we will send troops to replace the local county government and implement military control!"

"What is military control? That is, everything serves the war, and those who violate it will be executed!"

He raised three fingers and said loudly, "Three moves, take control!"

Chen Shou and Chen Dao pondered for a long time.

Chen Dao took the lead and asked, "Darang, who should kill and who should be chased?"

Chen Sheng replied without hesitation: "Naturally, those who do evil should be killed, and those who are good should be chased!"

After Chen Dao heard this, he shook his head slightly worriedly and said, "I'm afraid not many aristocratic families and wealthy families can survive."

Chen Shou nodded and persuaded in a low voice: "Dalang, since you want to do something big, these noble families can't be blamed. These people don't have enough success and they have more than enough failures. Our family can't stand these wolves, tigers and leopards. I also need these wolves, tigers and leopards to help manage the city..."

Chen Sheng smiled and said softly: "Dad, you think too highly of these aristocratic families, they are not as capable or as important as you imagined... Chen County's aristocratic families are not also affected by children. Have you killed seven, seven, or eight? Don't you become more prosperous the more you kill?"

Chen Shou glanced at him helplessly, and always felt that he thought things too simply: "How old is Chen Jun? If you can cure Chen Jun, you may not be able to cure Chen Liu and Yingchuan!"

Chen Sheng: "But the truth is the same, I don't need so many great sages who open their mouths to 'home and country' and close their mouths to 'the world'. What I need is to know how to farm, how to build roads, how to forge armor, and how to investigate cases. Practical and capable officials, as long as there are enough outstanding lower-level officials to set up the government system, let alone the land of the three counties, the land of the three states, the children can have fun!"

"Besides, why did you, as a child, send Li Si to the Jixia Academy as the head of the liberal arts? Isn't it just to bring out a group of lower-level officials who can do practical things as soon as possible?"

"Speaking of which, you and Uncle Dao have to implement the literacy, selection, and recommendation mechanism for officers that I told you earlier. Officers with military merits and talents can be included in the list of reserve students of Jixia Academy. The Jixia Academy opens every four months, with 200 people in the first stage. The officers who graduated from the Jixia Academy, the outstanding ones will be promoted to a higher level in place, the company commander will be the battalion commander, and the battalion commander will be the regiment leader. Promoted by half a level, the company commander is the deputy battalion commander, the battalion commander is the deputy regiment commander, and subsequent promotions will be based on talent and military merit!"

"From now on, officers at the battalion level and above must have a resume from Jixia Academy before they can be promoted. This is a mandatory condition, and even my Chen family will never be an exception!"

Chen Shou and Chen Dao nodded in unison.

They know how much Chen Sheng cares about his family.

Even his own family can't make an exception, let alone outsiders!

After a while, Chen Shou suddenly remembered something again, and asked curiously, "By the way, why did you throw Wang Xiong in the prefectural government today? I thought you would let him be the military director of Jixia Academy. "

"The Red Army is the foundation of my Chen family. How could I let an outsider be the head of the military department? Didn't that take the initiative to hand the knife handle to an outsider?"

Chen Sheng sneered: "Besides, that old guy has no extraordinary ability, and he has no eyesight, so why do you keep him in the county governor's office?"
