Chapter Eighty-Four: Recruitment
Chen Hai drank a bowl of gruel to the bottom, and at this time Zhou Jingyuan ran over. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
As soon as Chen Hai came back, he was in a hurry to enter the Snake Cave Underground Palace to retreat and cultivate, and he had seen Zhou Jingyuan in a hurry before, but he didn't have time to ask about the more specific situation of the Medicine Master Garden recently.
Zhou Jingyuan is currently in the Medicine Garden, specifically responsible for the management of two iron mines and a refined iron smelter, with more than 300 slave laborers under his hands, and can output nearly 100,000 catties of fine iron every month to supply the foundry of the Medicine Garden.
"In the future, the affairs of Dongyuan will have to trouble Senior Brother Zhou to take care of it......" After Chen Hai learned about the situation in Yaoshiyuan, he called Rong'er, Juan'er, and the two servants into the house, asking them to obey Zhou Jingyuan's arrangements in the future.
Even if Su Ziling was born as a slave, she also stepped into the realm of soul repellent, and she was also qualified to participate in the management of the affairs of the inner government.
Chen Hai has always been suspicious of Su Ziling, although Su Ziling has not directly arranged the eyeliner to Dongyuan, and the background of the four maids and servant women is also innocent, but Su Ziling arranged Rong'er and Juan'er, two handmaidens who are already a little teasing in figure and appearance at the age of fourteen or fifteen, to wait in his room, obviously with other intentions.
If Chen Hai can't stand the temptation and puts these two girls in the room, although others can't say anything, but he is afraid that he will be difficult to get rid of in this life.
Chen Hai was inconvenient, and there was no excuse to drive these two girls out, but in the future, he would not let Su Ziling or Chen Su have another chance to interfere in the affairs of Dongyuan, and now he had to make it clear that Zhou Jingyuan was in charge.
"Okay!" Zhou Jingyuan happily agreed, he didn't think that he would lose his identity in charge of Dongyuan's affairs in the future, which was precisely the embodiment of Chen Hai always treating him as a descendant.
Chen Hai's injuries were basically healed in three or four days, and a very faint layer of sharp essence light appeared in his pupils, which was the most obvious sign of cultivating into the Spirit Clearing Realm. Chen Hai stepped into the realm of respiring spirits, and the distribution of power within the Zhaoting Marquis Mansion was basically formed, which meant that Chen Hai's status as the "young marquis" was basically stabilized.
Following Chen Hai, Zhou Jingyuan also knew that he would have a good future in the future, even if Chen Lie had not yet decided who would be the future prince of Tinghou between Chen Hai and Chen Zhang, this would not have any effect at all, and everyone would not think about this kind of thing.
Chen Lie is in the prime of life, and in recent years, he has the hope of cultivating into the Dao Dan realm, and once Chen Lie steps into the Dao Dan realm, he will have a life span of two hundred years. Even if Chen Hai and Chen Zhang both cultivated into the Ming Realm, they would not survive Chen Lie, and at this time, they were anxious to compete for the position of the prince of the prince, except for making Chen Lie unhappy in his heart, what was the point?
This is also the key reason why the internal contradictions of the newly rising forces are usually relatively minor.
With the improvement of Chen Lie's status, the Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion can win a lot of benefits from the outside world, and the amount of shares that the internal descendants can share will increase significantly every year.
Chen Zhang's mentality is unbalanced, mainly because Chen Hai's image has changed too quickly, from an insignificant abandoned waste, he suddenly became able to stand shoulder to shoulder with him, Chen Zhang's heart is impossible to be comfortable, but if Chen Zhang is smart, he will not take the initiative to find Chen Hai to provoke trouble at this time.
After all, at this time, Chen Lie's will decided everything in the Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion, even if Chen Zhang could cross Chen Hai, what good could he do if he lost Chen Lie's favor?
At this time, under Chen Lie's protection, no one dared to say that his wings were hard.
**************************
Knowing that Chen Hai's injuries were basically recovered, Chen Su and several other stewards also rushed over to ask for peace.
Chen Su and the others are all responsible for Chen Zhang or Su Yuan, but Chen Hai, as the young marquis, has the highest status in the Medicine Master Garden at this time, even in the Tinghou Mansion, he is on a par with Chen Zhang, Sun Gan, Su Yuan, Chen Quan, Chen Yu and others, and if there are any big or small things here, Chen Su and the others naturally have to report to Chen Hai.
Even if there are some things, Chen Hai can't make a decision, but they have to tell Chen Hai to know.
The resources that the Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion could occupy were not what Chen Hai could imagine before.
For example, 2,000 slave laborers were ransomed from the Yulong Mansion for less than 20,000 catties of refined copper, and the two iron mines that Zhou Jingyuan was responsible for had actually extended beyond the Zhaoyang Pavilion, but at this time they were also owned by the Zhaoyang Pavilion Hou Mansion, and other forces were forbidden to mine ore in these two veins.
The armor shop spread out to more than 40 cities in Hexi counties, and as soon as the news was announced, hundreds of craftsmen from the Xuanxuan Realm took the initiative to come and join them. Although in half a year, the resources invested by the Tinghou Mansion in the joint operation of the Bingjiapu and the construction of mines, smelters, and foundries have almost 100,000 sect merits, but at this time, it has already achieved a balance of payments, and last month there was a surplus to subsidize the construction of the Medicine Master Garden Walled City and the cultivation of disciples......
Without the support of the big tree of Tinghou Mansion, Chen Hai and they would not be able to do this even if they had enough time, after all, they could not break the monopoly of the clan clan on various places, and the opening of the armor shop in Mengyi City at the beginning was also borrowed from the name of the Chen clan in order to reduce local exploitation.
At this time, in addition to the manpower used in the joint army, mines, refining grounds, and foundry sites, as well as the more than 2,000 slave laborers and 1,000 vassal households directly under the Yaoshiyuan Walled City, Chen Lie's Huwei battalion in the army was also officially expanded to 1,000 people;
The Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion is now also a fledgling force.
The two hundred guards who stayed in the Walled City of Yaoshiyuan were under the command of Ge Tong, and they were mainly selected from among the vassals on the basis of the more than 30 descendants originally cultivated by Chen Hai.
Next, Chen Hai, accompanied by Ge Tong, Chen Su, and Zhou Jingyuan, went to the mine, foundry, refinery, and medicine field to inspect the drills of the two hundred guards.
These two hundred guards, compared to the elite around Chen Lie, the combat power is much weaker, and the proportion of those who have the foundation of martial arts cultivation in the Xuan Realm is less than one-twentieth, while the proportion of the elite of the descendants around Chen Lie is more than fifty percent, not to mention the generals led by Chen Zhang, there are more than twenty people, all of whom have the cultivation of the Spirit Realm.
There is no way to do this, even if the attached people have a group of strong young people, few of them have the foundation of martial arts cultivation through the Xuan Realm.
After they were incorporated into the Huwei battalion, the training time was short, and it was difficult for them to achieve anything, not because Ge Tong did not do his best.
In a short period of time, Chen Lie is short of manpower, and it is impossible to separate the shortage of elite lineage to strengthen the side of the Medicine Master Garden.
In other words, whether the two hundred guards of the Medicine Master Garden can truly form elite combat power depends on Chen Hai's way to cultivate.
This is also one of the reasons why Chen Hai and Zhou Jun wanted to select thirty private soldiers from the Medicine Master Garden and bring them into the army.
Ge Tong had the heavy responsibility of guarding the Medicine Master Garden, and he couldn't follow Chen Hai to serve in front of Li Xianghai's tent, but when Chen Hai was in retreat and cultivating, he had already selected thirty not weak people for Chen Hai to call on.
These thirty people, including Zhao Shan and Qian Wenyi, have either already stepped into the Tongxuan Realm or are about to step into the Tongxuan Realm, they are indeed an elite, but if Chen Hai transfers these thirty people, the combat power of the two hundred guards of the Medicine Master Garden will be even more unbearable.
Now the Huanglongyuan Daoist Academy regarded the Medicine Master Garden as a part of the defense line on the strong flank, and Chen Hai could not draw this place into an empty shelf.
Chen Su and Ge are the same as the spiritual realm cultivators, and their strength is not weak, but they don't have enough troops to protect them in the inner encirclement, and once they are broken through to the close by a strong enemy, they can't support it for long, so the defensive guards on the side of the Medicine Master Garden must be reasonable and thorough, so as to guard against all kinds of emergencies.
"I can't transfer all these thirty people, in that case, there will be no one available on your side," Chen Hai shook his head and said to Ge Tong, "Qian Wenyi and they all stay, Zhao Shan will go with me, but the others will have to be re-selected......"
"How to choose?" asked Ge Tong with a wry smile.
There are 1,000 households in the Walled City of Medicine Master Garden, and the top ten embryos are all selected into the disciple camp and sent to the Huanglongyuan Taoist Academy for cultivation, and the embryos that are almost valuable for cultivation are also among the two hundred guards.
If you don't use these thirty people and choose them separately, not only will they not be able to help Chen Hai and Zhou Jun in the army, but they will become a drag.
"Choose from the slaves!" Chen Hai said, "Those who are good at shooting and can pierce Yang in a hundred steps, those who are powerful, who can lift 300 catties and those who are good at riding, can enter the Huwei camp, and I and my family members can be directly exempted or redeemed by the Tinghou Mansion to be exempted from slavery......"
"......" Hearing Chen Hai say this, Ge Tong was a little hesitant, and Chen Su even questioned directly, "Young Marquis, is it appropriate to do this?"
At this time, there were more than 2,000 slaves in Yakushiyuan, all of whom were degraded to slavery for serious crimes, including rebel refugees who rebelled and rebelled, rogues who were traitors, bandits or Jiangyang thieves, and even more than a dozen ranger swordsmen who were abolished and cultivated, in short, few people were really good.
If it weren't for the fact that there were Soul Clearing Realm Xuan Xiu and two hundred guards in the Medicine Master's Garden, these two thousand slave workers would not know how many things they would have to do, and in the past six months, many of the two thousand slave workers had tried to escape.
The rebellious people of Yulong Mountain, hundreds of thousands of people have defected to the Hexiang Army, Chen Hai wants to select the elite from the slaves at this time, and there will inevitably be people who are inextricably linked with the rebels, and naturally there will be unexpected hidden dangers.
Chen Hai naturally knew that there would be hidden dangers, but at this time, he had to select more than thirty elites to use, where was the choice?
However, Chen Hai also believed that as long as it was not a spy deliberately arranged by Hexiangjun, and he selected the elite from the slaves, the problem would not be too big.
Hundreds of thousands of homeless people rebelled, even if there was a conspiracy of the Hexiang army, but the vast majority of them were still cornered by the catastrophe, or they were caught by the rebel army.
Now that he has given these people a good way out and a good background, these people have accumulated military merits under his command, and they can even have wealth and prosperity in the future, Chen Hai believes that he has no problem subduing most of them.
Even those Ranger Swordsmen who have been deposed as cultivators, he may be able to help them re-cultivate.
And only in this way can he immediately select the elite combat power that really has a cultivation foundation.
In addition, if he, Wu Meng, and Zhou Jun can't suppress more than 30 subordinates, don't talk about any ambitions.
