Chapter 126: Xiu'er

Early the next morning, after making preparations, Lin Nan came to Zhen's mansion to propose marriage.

And after a night of thinking last night, Zhen Yi also figured it out.

Lin Ziyang is young and promising, has a prominent family background, is in a waiting position, and the official residence is too guarded, he should be Mi'er's ideal husband, and yesterday's unexpected events may be fate, after all, no one would have thought that the joke would become a reality.

Seeing Lin Nan bowing to the ground with the bride price, Zhen Yi hurriedly helped him up and said solemnly: "Ziyang, Mi'er's mother died early, and I neglected to teach, so that I was pampered and willful, and I didn't know how to be polite, in the future, you have to treat her well." ”

Seeing Zhen Yi's good intentions, Lin Nan also replied solemnly: "Father-in-law, don't worry. ”

After listening to Lin Nan's words, Zhen Yi also nodded reassuringly.

As soon as the procedure was completed, Lin Nan returned to his Taishou Mansion and convened a meeting of the people of the Military Affairs Yuan, and Zhen Mi naturally followed Lin Nan to the Taishou Mansion, although Zhen Yi disagreed.

But after returning to the Taishou Mansion, Lin Nan handed over Zhen Mi to Zhao Wei, because Lin Nan really didn't have time to play with her now, and what made Lin Nan even more depressed was that after seeing Zhao Wei, Zhen Mi actually forgot about Lin Nan and had a lot of fun with Zhao Wei.

Therefore, Lin Nan didn't feel secretly sighing, women, no matter how small, are always like that, they will change when they say it.

When everyone had arrived, they sat down in shifts.

The first one on the right is respected by Jia Xu, and below it is Fu Zhu, Judge, Cui Yan and Tian Chou.

The first on the left starts with Zhao Yun, followed by Zhang He, Tai Shici, Zhang Fei, Xu Huang, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Guan Hai, Huang Fu Li and Yu Ban.

Seeing everyone sitting down, Lin Nan said: "Everyone, now that Jinyang's spring ploughing has ended, now is the time for farming, and Zhen Yi has promised to donate some money and grain to Jinyang, so we should immediately recruit and train the army."

Regarding recruitment, I advocate that the young and strong should be used as much as possible, and the age should be between 15 and 40 years old. And the Han military system, I don't advocate using it again, because there are many drawbacks, so. I want to introduce a new military system. Army, division, regiment, battalion, company, platoon, and squad are used to replace units, songs, tuns, teams, divisions, and squads, that is, 10 people are in a squad, and one person is selected as the squad leader; five squads are a platoon with one platoon commander; and five platoons are a company with one company commander. One company deputy; 4 companies are a battalion, with a battalion commander, a battalion deputy, a staff officer, Zilong and other generals will each lead a battalion to train in the army, if you want to recruit more soldiers, I'm afraid Jinyang will not have so many young and strong, do you think this arrangement is good?"

As soon as Lin Nan's words were finished, he said in frustration: "Lord." What kind of officer is the staff officer? What is the main business? But the military advisor?"

Lin Nandao: "Yes, the position of a staff officer is also equivalent to a military advisor, mainly responsible for consulting the military and giving advice. ”

After listening to Lin Nan's explanation, he nodded and said: "The law of the lord, although it is incredible, is very reasonable, and the military position is so detailed, it is really unprecedented. It's just that. Now that there are ten generals in Jinyang, I am afraid that the lord may not be able to recruit ten battalions of soldiers. ”

After listening to the words of the frustrated teaching, Lin Nan also said: "This is also what I am worried about, so." Tomorrow, I will call on the people of Jinyang to join the army with the slogan of protecting the family and defending the country, and I will give some rewards and honors to those who serve in the army, and I will make being a soldier an honor. ”

"Hmm. So much better. Fu Zhu nodded and said, "However, in this way, the burden on Jinyang's finances will be even heavier. ”

"Hehe, it doesn't matter. Lin Nan said with a smile. "Zhen Yi has become my father-in-law, and he has promised me that he will manage Jinyang's financial taxes, with the support of the Zhen family and some of my own financial resources, there should be no financial problems for the time being. ”

Seeing that Lin Nan was such a scoundrel, he had no choice but to say helplessly: "That's okay, Jinyang is short of money and food now." ”

After the frustration finished speaking, Tian Chou said: "Lord, we don't have armor and weapons now, and we don't have military horses. ”

Lin Nandao: "I know this, so I have asked Master Zheng to hurry up and build weapons, and when the weapons are finished, they will naturally build armor, fortunately, Bingzhou is known for the benefits of salt and iron, and armor and weapons should not be a problem." Lin Nan said confidently.

"It's just that this military horse is really a little embarrassed. At the mention of military horses, Lin Nan was really a little depressed.

Before Lin Nan's words fell, Zhang Fei said: "Lord, I have a way for Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang has two friends, one is called Su Shuang, and the other is called Zhang Shiping, who is a big merchant in the northwest, specializing in selling military horses, I can tell them that it should not be difficult to buy thousands of military horses." ”

Hearing Zhang Fei say this, Lin Nan said happily: "Then please ask Yide for this matter, you must buy as many military horses as possible." ”

Zhang Fei patted his chest and said, "No problem, I'll fix a book in a while and let them sell a batch of military horses to Jinyang." ”

As soon as Zhang Fei's words were finished, Cui Yan said: "Lord, should we mobilize the army and people of the whole city, relying only on the thousands of soldiers recruited, I am afraid that we will not be able to resist the invasion of the Huns." ”

Lin Nandao: "I also have this intention, but this matter still needs to be considered in the long run, and we need to train soldiers and people, I'm afraid we can't be busy." ”

Cui Yan said: "It doesn't matter, we can let the people watch from the sidelines when training the soldiers, and over time, they will understand the military affairs, and when the time comes, they can become an army with a little training." ”

"Ji Jue's method is very good, in this way, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. Listening to Cui Yan's words, Lin Nan couldn't help but praise loudly, and Jia Xu and others couldn't help but nod slightly in approval.

Then, the emperor said: "Lord, now we should do our best to repair the barracks, the barracks outside the city have been abandoned for a long time, do we still want to use the old site?"

Lin Nandao: "What do you mean? Do you want to continue to use the old site, or build a new military camp?"

"I think that the old site should be continued, although the old site is broken, it can still be repaired, and I have been there, the location is still good, as long as it is slightly repaired, the army can be garrisoned, and if the military camp is rebuilt, it will take time, money and food." ”

After listening to the frustrated words, Lin Nan did not rush to express his position, but turned his head and asked Jia Xu, "What does Wen He think?"

Jia Xu said: "Zizheng's words are very good, we should borrow the old site. ”

Seeing that the two military advisors agreed, Lin Nan said: "Then we will post a notice tomorrow to call on the people to repair the military camp first." ”

Seeing that everything was over, Lin Nan was just about to announce the dismissal of the meeting, but he heard Yu Ban say: "My lord, I don't know if all the generals in Jinyang know the art of war, and new recruits are recruited, how do you want to train your troops?"

As soon as he heard Yu Ban say this, Lin Nan knew that he was deliberately making things difficult, and the generals of Jinyang were all poor and reckless people, and everyone's faces were really a little angry, while Dian Wei and Xu Chu clenched their fists, and wanted to clean up Yu Ban again.

Seeing this scene, Lin Nan said: "Now the soldiers have not been recruited, and it is all on paper to say it, which has no practical significance, Wen Ze rest assured, you will not come to Jinyang in vain." ”

Hearing Lin Nan say this, Yu Ban didn't say anything more, just nodded slightly and agreed.

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Lin Nan said: "Then let's decide like this, from tomorrow, we will live in the barracks for a long time." ”

After the discussion, Lin Nan returned to the backyard of his Taishou Mansion.

At this time, Zhen Mi had been taken back to Zhen's mansion by Zhen Yi, while Zhao Wei was playing with a very naΓ―ve little girl.

And when the two saw Lin Nan coming back, they greeted him.

Seeing that the little girl was very faceless, Lin Nan asked, "Little sister, whose child is this?"

Hearing Lin Nan ask this, everyone laughed except Lin Nan, and even Dian Wei and Guan Hai couldn't help grinning "hehe".

Seeing that everyone's expressions were so strange, Lin Nan became even more puzzled and asked, "What's wrong, is there anything wrong?"

Zhao Wei smiled: "Big brother, do you really not know her, or are you pretending to be confused?"

Lin Nan said: "I really haven't seen her, and I have no reason to pretend to be confused." ”

Looking at Lin Nan's innocent appearance, Zhao Wei said: "I really convinced you, isn't she the little girl who died of her grandmother among the homeless people? It's only been a few days, and you won't recognize anyone." ”

As soon as he heard that the little girl in front of him was the little girl he picked up among the homeless, Lin Nan couldn't help but be surprised, because the little girl in front of him was very beautiful, although she was young, she couldn't hide the color of the country, and she was a stunning beauty embryo, which was a world of difference from what she saw among the homeless people.

Seeing Lin Nan's stunned appearance, Zhao Yun said: "Since the eldest brother returned to Jinyang, he has been busy with business every day, and it is reasonable that he can't recognize her. ”

Hearing Zhao Yun say this, Tai Shici also said: "Indeed, after returning to Jinyang, the eldest brother really hasn't seen her." ”

Helpless, Lin Nan sighed and said, "I really don't know what I'm doing every day, so that I don't know anyone in my family." Alas!"

After sighing, Lin Nan asked the little girl, "How old are you and what is your name?" I've been too busy lately and don't have time to take care of you, I'm really sorry, are you okay here?"

The little girl said timidly: "My name is Wang Xiu'er, and I am eleven years old this year. ”

After listening to Wang Xiu'er's words, Lin Nan nodded and said, "It turns out that you are one year older than Xiaowei." ”

Zhao Wei said: "Hehe, you just know, alas! This is too shou, and he doesn't even know his own family." After speaking, Zhao Wei couldn't stop laughing, and although everyone thought it was funny, they were embarrassed to laugh.

Seeing Zhao Wei making fun of herself, Lin Nan said: "Little girl, you dare to make fun of your brother, see that I don't pull out the pigtails on your head." With that, Lin Nan stretched out his hand to Zhao Wei's head.

As soon as he saw that Lin Nan was going to destroy the fruits of his hard work for several hours, Zhao Wei pulled his legs and ran into the house, while Lin Nan chased after him.

Seeing the two of them like this, Zhao Yun and the others had to smile bitterly and came to the house.

Under Zhao Wei's begging for mercy and everyone's plea, Lin Nan finally did not pull out Zhao Wei's pigtails, and such a happy day ended in this hearty laughter. (To be continued.) )
