Chu Huan rubbed his nose, feeling a little helpless, he understood Blasey's disposition, the blond beauty was outspoken and couldn't hold back when she had something to say, suddenly thought of Su Niang's appearance just now, and suddenly realized why Su Niang suddenly mentioned At that time, it was just strange that Mr. Lin would be mentioned in the side courtyard. Now, it turns out that it was Brancy who said something to Su Niang, which made Su Niang misunderstand her relationship with the so-called "Mr. Lin".

Chu Huan was angry and funny at the same time.

"Brancie, let me say it again for the last time. Everything you said is based on your own guesswork without any evidence." Janice said angrily, "Don't you understand that without evidence, you can't talk nonsense."

There was a moment of silence behind the rockery, Chu Huan frowned slightly, he had other things to do, and he didn't want to be delayed here because of the gossip about the sisters, and was about to leave quietly, when Brancy's voice came again, "Janice, you If you don't believe me, let's use the facts to judge who is right."

"fact?"

"I said before that he likes men and doesn't like women." Brancy swore, "If you don't believe me, I have a way to prove it... Do you dare to bet with me?"

"What way?"

"Let me tell you if you dare to make a bet with me?" Brancy said, "If you have the courage, let's make a bet. If I win, from now on, you will never be able to call me by my name. You can only call me by my name." My sister, never regret it."

"What if you lose?" [

"Then I will call you sister." Brancy said solemnly, "I will keep my promise and will not change."

Chu Huan was amused, but he knew that sisters Brancy were twins, and the two had been arguing over who was the older sister. To them, being each other's older sister seemed to be a great honor.

Janice seemed to be hesitating, and did not speak immediately, Brancy said in a provocative tone: "Janice, don't you dare?"

"Okay!" Janice was obviously irritated by Brassie, "I bet you, then tell me, what method do you use?"

Chu Huan was also very curious about Brassie's method. He listened carefully, but heard Brassie giggle, her voice was much softer, "Let's go back, I'll tell you."

Chu Huan was immediately disappointed. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he looked through the gap in the rockery and saw that the pair of sisters had already left along the bluestone path. The graceful shadows of the pair, and the trees in the small pond next to it, are like an ink painting.

Chu Huan shook his head and smiled wryly, and went back to his room to write something. When he returned to the dining room, Pei Ji was sitting on a chair, drinking and thinking. When he saw Chu Huan coming over, Pei Ji smiled. Handed over the written things, "Brother, take a look, these training methods, do you know if they are suitable?"

Pei Ji held it in his hand, twirled his beard, looked at it carefully, showing doubts, and asked: "Loading, pulling, reverse, off-road...Second brother, these words are quite new...From Yinshi, carrying weight Thirty kilograms, walk ten miles, at Mao hour, train the hook ladder, go up and down five hundred times, at Chen hour, enter the water and hold your breath...!"

Chu Huan just smiled, and Pei Ji raised his head and said, "These training methods are really weird, where did the second brother get it?"

"What do you think of these methods, brother?"

"Compared with the current training in the army, it seems to be much more rigorous." Pei Ji nodded slightly and said: "However, the content of the training is also very beneficial. It is quite beneficial to hold your breath in the water. If you can hold your breath in the water for a long time Hold your breath, if there is a water battle in the future, you can completely let the soldiers sneak in the water... Well, this cross-country with heavy loads is not easy, it can enhance people's physique and strength, and most importantly, it can exercise the soldiers' will."

"There are thirteen trainings in total." Chu Huan said: "If you can withstand these thirteen trainings and pass them smoothly, you must have the potential to become an elite soldier."

Pei Ji thought for a while, and finally said: "For the first batch of soldiers, let's try training with the method of the second brother."

"Brother just said that the elimination system is to be implemented. When recruiting soldiers, you can first limit the weight and height, and check the basic quality of the soldiers. This level does not need to be too strict. After being selected, you can pass the thirteen training items. Test, survival of the fittest, and those who can withstand it can be officially included in the establishment of the Imperial Guard."

"It can be so." Pei Ji said: "In the end, I will select about [-] soldiers as the basis of the imperial guards, and then I will train them." [

"Brother, I have another idea. After 1000 soldiers are finally selected, I can organize [-] guards under my command." Chu Huan was quite excited when he thought of the future of building an army. The army, this is the dream of every man. "Together, there should be a team of a thousand people. I am going to divide the [-] people into four battalions."

"Four camps?"

"Yes." Chu Huan said: "In everyone's bones, there is actually a sense of competition. If the army is divided into four battalions, rewards and incentives are given during training, and the four battalions compete with each other. This will be of great benefit to the training. "

Pei Ji smiled and said, "That's a good idea. But I don't know which four camps the second brother plans to divide into?"

"Fenglin Volcano." Chu Huan said: "Sun Wuzi said in his military book that when marching and fighting, it is as fast as the wind, as slow as the forest, as aggressive as fire, and as immovable as a mountain. This is the most reasonable saying in Sun Wuzi's art of war. The four battalions, Lin, Huo, and Shan, compete with each other, and when we expand our army in the future, we will use these four battalions as the basis for expansion."

"Okay." Pei Ji clapped his hands and said, "Feng Lin Huo, the essentials of a military strategist."

"It's not too late. The new Salt Bureau has invested in military expenses. Eldest brother can start conscription. I plan to issue a conscription order in two days. Elder brother is fully responsible for the conscription. I will let Xuanyuan Shengcai lead a hundred guards to follow elder brother Do this."

At dusk, Su Bo hurried to the governor's mansion and found Chu Huan. Chu Huan had been waiting for Su Bo's arrival. The two chief managers of the new salt bureau are currently constructing a factory in Xixia Mountain, so the new salt bureau is currently under the heavy responsibility of Suber. Fortunately, the new salt bureau has no major affairs for the time being, and Suber is enough to take care of the current affairs. Chu Huan knew that Gao Lian would never let his son live or die. Since he hinted that Gao Lian would donate money to the new salt bureau, Gao Lian would not sit still. All the family property of the clan was donated.

"Gao Lian has arrived at the New Salt Bureau." Su Bo reported: "In addition to Gao Lian, many Beishan gentry also donated a lot of money to the New Salt Bureau."

"How much did Gao Lian donate?"

"The amount is not small." Su Bo looked quite excited, "He donated the house deeds and land deeds of [-] shops, and in addition, donated [-] dumps of fertile land. If these are converted into cash, it will be a huge amount .”

Chu Huan pondered for a while, "Yesterday, I have handed over the deeds of four shops, plus today's delivery, there are nineteen shops in total, and he has 21 shops in total, that is to say, he has left two shops. "

"exactly."

"But this old boy is still playing tricks." Chu Huan sighed, "I have already checked with someone, he has a total of 92 lands in Xiguan, and now he took out [-] lands, less than half, hey, It seems that he is still lucky." Looking at Su Bo, he said: "Su Bo, you said that Gao Lian is also a businessman, he is not stupid, what I mean, doesn't he understand?"

Su Bo laughed and said, "It seems that he thinks these are enough to exchange his son's life?"

"It's really whimsical." Chu Huan shook his head and sighed, and asked, "By the way, what about the other companies? Are they all as stingy as Gao Lian?"

"They all bleed, but most of them donate their shops, and although they also donate their fields, they are less than half of their property." Su Bo held the list in his hand, "This is the list they donated. , Sir, please take a look."

Chu Huan waved his hand, "Don't look at it, the donated ones will be collected first, and someone will be sent to seal up these shops first, because the gentry of Beishan haven't shed enough blood yet."

"How do you plan to dispose of these stores?" Su Bo asked: "The stores that have been paid for have all been opened, and there are hoarded goods in the stores...!"

"I've thought about it, did Uncle Su find out the old owners of these shopfronts?" Chu Huan asked, "The shopfronts in the hands of the Beishan gentry were all taken from the hands of the Xiguan gentry, and most of them took advantage of others. It’s dangerous and plundering, Su Bo can ask the seven surnames in Xiguan, count the paid shops, and find the old owners, I’m going to discuss some things with these people.”

Su Bo was well-informed and seemed to understand Chu Huan's thoughts. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Chu Huan had already smiled and said, "Does Su Bo understand anything?"

Su Bo knows that some things are not mentioned above, and it is best not to ask below, "Your Excellency has his own plans, I dare not think too much."

"Su Bo, why have you become so polite?" Chu Huan sighed, "You are a member of the family, and I have always regarded you as an elder. You have protected Linlang for many years, and I respect you very much. , don’t be like me, just like before, just call me by my name.”

A feeling of warmth surged in Su Bo's heart, thinking that Miss's vision is really extraordinary. Although Chu Huan's status is not what it used to be, and he is in a high position, his temperament has not changed. He still values ​​love and righteousness. ".

At this moment, a servant hurried over and said: "My lord, someone asked to see me, and said that I must meet my lord."

Chu Huan glanced at Su Bo, guessed: "I'm afraid Gao Lian's group came to the door." Asked the servant: "Who is asking to see?"

"It came from inside the pass."

Chu Huan suddenly stood up, showing joy, "Is it Linlang? Is it Linlang?" He was looking forward to Linlang's arrival in the northwest day and night. When I heard that there were people coming from the pass, the first thing I thought of was that Lin Lang had already arrived at Xiguan after finishing the matter.

"No...not!" The servant didn't expect the governor to be so excited, and hurriedly said: "It's a couple who are asking to see, they said they are old friends of the lord, and the lord is kind to them, the man is... oh, yes, He said his name was Wei Ji!"
