Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 378

When Chu Nan came home, his wife was preparing dinner with her two female generals from the Qiao family. Seeing Chu Nan coming back, Qiao Shuqiao, who had a lively personality, greeted Chu Nan with a smile: "They all say that Chu Shangshu Diligent and caring for the people, this time I have seen it.”

Ever since he came to Xuchang, Chu Nan has never had a break. He seems to be busy with official duties every day. He leaves early and returns late, and sometimes doesn't come back at night. Qiao Ying once suspected that Chu Nan was spending time outside.

[No, my dream is to be close to home with more money and less work. It is best to get money without doing things! 】

Chu Nan slandered in his heart, but there was a warm smile on his face: "Are the girls from the Qiao family still used to living these days?"

"Well, my sister and I are very comfortable living here. Although the Chu family is poor, the cooking method created by Shangshu is really rare, and there is also Ah Huang~" Qiao Shu hugged the disgusted Ah Huang, Lovingly stroking its soft hair.

Although the Chu family looks ordinary on the outside, there is a dragon in the pond in the yard. It’s nothing to like a cheap pigeon demon. The upper body is a human, and the lower body is a spider. After experiencing a battle of life and death , that rejection also dissipated, and the maid who liked to steal food had a bitter face every time she was trained.

The Chu family is different from other big families in that they don’t have such strict rules, and they have a lot of food and accommodation options. The air in the yard is also sober than other places, which makes people feel more free and comfortable than at home. For the lively Qiao Ying , it's much more comfortable here than at home.

"Thank you Shang Shu for your hospitality these days." Qiao Ying was more sensible than her younger sister and gave a light bow to Chu Nan.

"As long as you like it!" Looking at these two young girls who were almost chopped off because of their own thoughts, there was no wave in their hearts, and they even wanted to drive them away.

After all, this is the private space of their husband and wife, and they are not their own people, nor can they be watched by others. Sometimes couples want to play some games that are beneficial to the body and mind, but they have to guard against these two outsiders who are sharp and sharp, so they can't enjoy themselves.

However, Chu Nan couldn't drive them away, after all, he was recruited by his wife as a capable general, and as the head of the family, he had to help his wife win over them!

"Wang~" Ah Huang couldn't bear the ravages of this woman, looked at his master pleadingly, and called out.

If possible, it would like to transform itself to scare this ignorant woman.

After Chu Nan gave it a self-seeking look, he went straight to the table and sat down. Lu Yi helped him pour the warm wine, and knelt obediently by his table.

"The uncle of the Qiao family came to visit today." Lu Lingqi ate the food and looked at Chu Nandao.

"Oh? General Qiao is here?" Hearing this, Chu Nan showed a sincere smile on his face, "Is there a place to stay in Xuchang? Are you here permanently or to see the two aunts of the Qiao family?"

"I'm here to do business." Lu Lingqi took a sip of the soup and said, "I wanted to visit my husband, but my husband is quite busy these days, so I asked my husband, if I have time, can we meet?"

"Businessman?" Chu Nan raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, looked at his wife, then at the sisters of the Qiao family, and nodded with a smile: "This is not difficult. Although there are many things in the government office recently, it is not that there is no time. , after three days."

Chu Nan still admired Qiao Rui, who was not a general but turned into a wealthy merchant. At least he had the right vision. He could see that he intended to use merchants to replace the former wealthy families and further reduce the local discourse power.

There are disadvantages of business, but the benefits are also great. It can make the world run more smoothly. The most important thing is that the place is powerful, somewhat bookish, and can gain people's respect, but as a business, it is difficult to be like a gentry or Local tyrants are respected like that.

On the whole, it is naturally weakened, but for people like Qiao Rui who take the initiative to change business, Chu Nan is willing to give convenience, which is why Qiao Rui's business is doing well in the Jianghuai area From the beginning, although under the restrictions of Chu Nan, no one family is dominant, but the lost family business has earned back a lot.

He is also a strange person. When he was a general, his skills were mediocre, but after turning to business, Chu Nan discovered that he used the art of war on business. For the commercial market of this era, it is simply a blow to reduce dimensionality. If there is no Chu Nan If it is restricted, the wealth of the Qiao family may be several times higher than it is now.

This time, it seems that they are not satisfied with the Jianghuai land, and want to take advantage of the rising prices in Xuchang to extend their tentacles to the Central Plains.

I just don't know if he is going to stand on the side of the gentry this time or on his side?
"Thank you, Shangshu!" the Qiao family sisters said hastily.

"The imperial court does not limit everyone's rightful gains, but what is taken from the people and used by the people is for the people. If it is rich and unkind, the imperial court will manage it. A good businessman like General Qiao who is willing to share the worries of the imperial court will not embarrass him." Chu Nan laughed.

Of course, if you are in the wrong team, then don’t blame Chu Nan for not showing affection. The biggest advantage of a businessman is that no matter how much wealth you have, when the court wants to move you, it is much easier than moving a gentry.

"The two younger sisters don't need to accompany General Qiao?" Chu Nan asked as if he suddenly remembered something after the food was over.

"Father is now living in an old friend's house..." Qiao Shu shook his head and said, "It's not convenient for me to wait."

[It's actually not convenient for me here! 】

Chu Nan nodded with a smile. It is indeed a pleasant thing for two girls who are as good-looking as his wife to live in the mansion, but life is still somewhat inconvenient.

"Ma'am, it happens that the two aunts of the Qiao family are also here. My husband has thought about your arrangement recently." After drinking and eating, the four of them did not return to their room immediately, but looked at the three of them and said.

Lu Lingqi looked at Chu Nan curiously upon hearing this.

In the Battle of Hefei, Lu Lingqi's reputation has already spread. Although it is not true that eight hundred thousand people broke through, but after the story spread, it became Lu Bu's tiger girl who shocked Jiangdong. Dare to cry at night.

Of course, correspondingly, Lu Lingqi's image was also rumored to be like a Shura, with a length of ten feet and a waist circumference of ten feet, but no matter what, Lu Lingqi relied on her own ability to make it possible for a woman to be a general.

The generals in the army are not too repulsed by this. After all, the record in the Battle of Hefei is too dazzling. If there are still people blocking it at this time, then show an equal record, even if it is worse.

But if it is possible, how to arrange it is a big problem. For the regular army, where is the appropriate arrangement?The existing military system actually excludes women.

Lu Bu didn't care much about this, but Chu Nan thought of a way out recently.

"Now the evil disaster is getting worse and worse, and there is a potential to start a prairie fire. I have discussed with my father-in-law and my teacher. I plan to build a new government office called the Monster Town Office. There will be [-] elites and [-] reserves. In addition, there will be government offices in every county. , responsible for dealing with monsters that harm the common people, and setting up a governor of monsters, I think this is the most suitable place for Madam, what do Madam think?" Chu Nan asked with a smile.

The beast tide in Yulou may happen frequently in the future, and it is imperative to have an army dedicated to dealing with monsters. Although the name of the governor of the town of monsters sounds weird and the grade is not too high, the requirements are extremely high. .

First of all, to fight against ferocious monsters, both force and commander must be extremely strong. Ordinary generals cannot stop the beast tide; secondly, people must be assured that they must be reliable in loyalty. Elite soldiers, such an elite force plus a general with a high military command, if they have evil intentions, it will definitely cause even greater cholera.

If it is only the first one, there are actually many people who fit it, such as Xu Huang and Lu Qian, Cao Cao’s surrendered generals, but if both of them are suitable, there are only four people, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Wei Yan, and Huang Zhong. But the main generals under Lv Bu's account are overkill for this, at least for now.

Looking at it this way, his wife is really a perfect fit. First of all, her ability is not low. Not to mention the Battle of Hefei, Yu Lou, with two hundred soldiers and some young and strong men in the city, forcibly blocked the onslaught of the beast tide, and he has the ability to deal with monsters Experience, and as Lu Bu's daughter and Chu Nan's wife, Lu Lingqi is naturally at ease in using it.

And for Lu Lingqi, it can be regarded as fulfilling her original dream.

Lu Lingqi nodded: "If your husband finds it suitable, I will naturally agree."

After finishing speaking, he looked at the bridge sisters.

"Of course I'm willing." The sisters of the Qiao family nodded. They were recruited by Lu Lingqi herself, and Lu Lingqi followed suit.

"Then the matter is decided like this. The eight hundred soldiers will be mainly those brought back by the madam, and then make up the number of eight hundred. As for the three thousand reserve soldiers, the imperial court is responsible for distributing food and salaries, and the soldiers are recruited and trained by the madam herself. What do you think Madam?" Chu Nan asked with a smile.

Lu Lingqi nodded, but she was thinking about where to recruit troops.

Qiao Shu on the side couldn't hide his words, looked at Chu Nan and said, "Shang Shu, we girls are going to recruit soldiers, I'm afraid no one will respond?"

This is the natural weakness of women. Under the existing concept, people will definitely look down on women when they come forward to recruit soldiers.

"It's actually not difficult." Chu Nan shook his head: "If you recruit soldiers in Xuchang, no one will respond, even if Madam has a record of defeating Jiangdong, but if it is a place like Yu Lou, Madam recruits troops easily. It's much easier, especially after the beast tide, as long as Madam goes there to recruit troops, there will definitely be many young and strong people responding."

This recruiting is voluntary, not imperial conscripting. It has a semi-compulsory meaning, so the recruiting place must be selected in the right place. If it is difficult, it is natural, but if it is impossible, it is not impossible. In this kind of place where Lu Lingqi has seen the power, it may not be more difficult for Lu Lingqi to recruit troops than those generals.

"The most important thing for the establishment of the Monster Township Office is the intelligence system. Otherwise, there will be no more soldiers. Each county will set up a Monster Township Office to be responsible for collecting information on monsters and coordinating local affairs. There is no need to rush , you also need to think about how this town demon department will work." Chu Nan said with a smile: "It's getting late, let's go back and rest."

The night is getting dark, so naturally it is time to do what should be done...
