The Golden County Magistrate

Wei Han has been leading troops to fight for more than one or two years, but has been doing so since she was a child.

She was born in the border garrison area of ​​Yongzhou. Her parents are a combination of Yi people and Han people, so she learned to ride horses and shoot arrows since she was a child.

There are many Yi people in Yongzhou, and there are conflicts between them from time to time. The court is too far away and it is difficult to govern them.

The state government has limited military power and it is not easy to interfere in normal times. Therefore, many times each tribe has to rely on themselves to protect their homes.

Wei Han's father died in a fight very early. She started to fight with her tribesmen at the age of twelve. Because of her extraordinary skills, she is more brave than men, and her outstanding achievements, so her prestige in the tribe gradually increases.

Moreover, she was educated by her mother since she was a child, read military books, learned some methods of training soldiers, and accumulated experience through years of practice. Later, she slowly trained a team of about 300 people.

Later, she was appreciated by Tang Yun and began to lead a large army, and applied her own training methods to it, which achieved good results.

The three thousand most outstanding soldiers were selected by her to form an army, named Wei Family Army. They made countless contributions on the battlefield and were very famous.

Although they were not as feared by the enemy as the Iron-clad Black Cavalry of Duke Xuan, Wei Han never thought that her Wei Family Army was weaker than the Iron-clad Black Cavalry.

It was just that the equipment of the two sides was quite different, which led to a gap in combat power.

Therefore, Wei Han was actually quite disgusted with Tang Yun asking her to learn military training from a seventh-rank county magistrate.

Why?

She was a heroic earl, with countless military exploits and countless life-and-death experiences. How could she learn military training from a small official who governed a county? If she told others about it, they would laugh at her!

So at first she planned to perfunctorily talk to Chen Yan, exchange military training experiences, and then go back.

Anyway, she would definitely not learn anything good.

But since she arrived in Qingshan County yesterday, her thoughts have gradually changed.

This Lord Chen, since he is so capable, he is not only good at both civil and military affairs, but at least he has many ways and countless novel things, which may really bring her some surprises.

At this time, Chen Yan was stunned and hadn't spoken yet, Lu Qing'er said happily: "Then Miss Wei has found the right person! The soldiers trained by my Lord are unmatched in the world!"

Wei Han didn't expect her to praise him so much, and said in surprise: "Then I must ask Lord Chen for advice."

Chen Yan shook his head: "This won't work. My method of training soldiers is no longer a commercial secret, but a military secret! To put it in a broader sense, this is not only my thing, but also the thing of the court. How can I teach it to you civilians and merchants? If you use it to do evil, wouldn't it be terrible?"

Wei Han almost blurted out "I am a member of the court", but fortunately he held back in time.

"Sir Chen, I'm just using it to train the guards of our Chamber of Commerce so that we can work together better." She said patiently, "You don't want the goods to be robbed by bandits, do you?"

"Avoiding being robbed is your business, it has nothing to do with me?" Chen Yan would never give in so easily, and shook his head directly.

"Then... can you sell me the method of training soldiers?" Wei Han had no choice but to make a move.

"Sell? How much?" Chen Yan's eyes lit up slightly.

"How about one hundred taels of silver?" Wei Han saw that he seemed to be tempted, and her heart was secretly happy. This guy obviously just wanted money, and he said something confidential.

"Qing'er, send him away!" Chen Yan closed his eyes.

You don't even send beggars like this. The money he paid for the batch of saltpeter mines yesterday was dozens of times more than this. How dare she ask for one hundred taels!

"Don't! Sir Chen, how much do you think is appropriate? Can you tell me clearly?" Wei Han said hurriedly. One hundred taels was just her trial price, so she didn't expect the other party to agree.

Chen Yan pondered and said nothing.

In fact, he had never considered selling the method of training soldiers before.

First, there was no market for this thing, there were few buyers, and the price was not high.

Second, he really wanted to keep it for himself. It was more reliable to hold a life-saving thing in his hand.

However, Wei Han was from the Zhou Chamber of Commerce. Miss Zhou could be said to be Chen Yan's biggest partner now. She had many channels and connections, and had more potential for cooperation than wealthy merchants like Tian Baiwan. In the future, they would have a strategic long-term cooperation.

It would not be good to refuse directly.

Thinking of this, he had an idea and said, "Well, I'll take you to see it first, and then we'll talk about the price."

Just as he said this, a yamen runner ran in from outside: "Sir! The state government sent an official letter!"

Chen Yan took it, opened it, took a look, and was happy.

Finally, it was time to deal with Xiong Jin!

"Miss Wei, I'm sorry, I have some urgent matters to deal with, it will probably take a day or two."

"If you don't have any urgent matters, stay here for two days, I'll talk to you later."

"If you have something to do, why don't we talk next time!"Chen Yan stuffed the official letter back into the envelope and said apologetically.

His matter was obviously official business, and Wei Han didn't know what to say, so he could only say: "I'll wait for you here."

Chen Yan turned to Lu Qing'er and said: "Qing'er, prepare some luggage for me, I'm going to the state capital."

Lu Qing'er agreed and asked: "Are you going alone?"

Chen Yan shook his head: "What is my status? How can I go out without a bodyguard? Just ask Captain Qian to go with me!"

The official letter was indeed sent by the state capital, but it was sent by Zhao Changhe under the instruction of Chen Yan and forced by He Dun.

There were two letters in total, one came here and one went to Lianggu County.

Zhang Dabiao had to be in charge of Qingshan County, and this time it was not too far to go to the state capital. With Qian Wu here, there should be no problem with safety.

Speaking of which, he hasn't been out for a while.

This guy, used to a comfortable life, doesn't want to move.

But how could he be willing if he didn't see Xiong Jin's fat face with his own eyes and see the expression after he knew he had been tricked?

Originally, he wanted to take Lu Qing'er with him, but the latter never liked to travel far, so he had to leave her at home.

On the side, Wei Han suddenly felt an impulse and blurted out: "Sir, I haven't been to Longzhou Prefecture either. Can I go with you?"

Lu Qing'er and Chen Yan looked at her in surprise at the same time.

Wei Han didn't know why her cheeks were slightly red, and she added in a defensive tone: "Anyway, staying here is idle, so why not take a closer look at the situation in Longzhou, which will also be good for our Zhou Chamber of Commerce to do business in the future."

In fact, she didn't know why she wanted to go with Chen Yan.

This man was like an unfathomable abyss, which made her want to know more about him and explore everything about him.

Lu Qing'er's eyes became a little meaningful, and she felt something vaguely.

It seems that her misunderstanding last night didn't seem to be very serious...

At the same time, Lianggu County.

In the county government, Xiong Jin was discussing business with Chang Rui and Cai Da Dangjia, and also received the official letter.

After reading the content, the fat man laughed so hard that the fat on his face trembled.

"What are you laughing at, brother-in-law?" Chang Rui asked in surprise.
