Chapter 419: Two years
At the end of the year, Chen Jin and Chen Zheng both returned, compared with Chen Jin, Chen Zheng obviously had a more murderous atmosphere, and between his actions, he also had a military demeanor.
"Yes, it seems that we have grown a lot at the border in recent years." Chen Mo pays attention to Chen Jin, and he pays no less attention to Chen Zheng than Chen Jin, after all, the place where Chen Zheng is located is still quite dangerous.
In the past two years, Chen Zheng has made a lot of contributions on the battlefield, fought bravely, and was able to share weal and woe with the soldiers under his command, and was quite supported by the soldiers at the border gates.
"Dad, every winter and early spring, it is the time when the Hu people are more overflowing, and let the children come back at this time ......," Chen Zheng complained a little.
"Your mother misses you." Chen Mo said lightly, then blocked Chen Zheng's words, looking at this second son, Chen Mo shook his head and said, "In addition, you have to stay in Luoyang for the next two years." ”
"Why is that?" Chen Zheng was stunned.
"Don't worry, even if you don't have you at the border, you can still block the Hu people, since you want to be a general, you only know that blind fighting is not enough, you have to know how to govern the army." Looking at his son, Chen Mo shook his head and said: "It's brave and ruthless, that's the Hu people's way of fighting, if you want to become a peerless general, you still have a lot to learn." ”
"Then Wen Hou ......," Chen Zheng subconsciously retorted.
"Do you obey him?" Chen Mo asked rhetorically.
"Wenhou is quite powerful in fighting, and the child is far inferior." Chen Zheng nodded.
"If you were braver and more capable of fighting than him, would you still obey him?" Chen Mo asked again.
"This ......" Chen Zheng was at a loss, if he was better than Lu Bu, would he serve Lu Bu?
"It's good to respect the strong in the army, but the ferocious tiger may not be able to fight a wolf after he is old, Feng Xian is already old, his set, when he is young, he can cover the world, but in this world, there will be outstanding talents every year, it is not enough to rely on bravery, since you have experienced the cruelty of war, then next, what you have to learn is not only war, strategizing, cohesion of the army, Feng Xian can not learn." Chen Mo waved his hand and smiled.
Chen Zheng nodded silently, looked at Chen Mo and said, "Please also ask my father for advice." ”
"After the New Year, you go to the camp, there are things you need, I have told Gao Shun, you go to the camp, or start as a soldier, starting next year, the camp will have more opportunities to fight, the camp will speak with merit, I will give you eighteen military books, during the camp trapped, give me a memorite, and when you can be recognized by the camp, I will let you return to the frontier, Feng Xian is old, the frontier needs young generals to replace Feng Xian, I hope you can do better than him then!" Chen Mo looked at Chen Zheng and said with a smile.
"The child obeys." Chen Zheng bowed.
"Okay, let's go see your grandmother and your mother, the end of the year is coming." Chen Mo patted his son's shoulder and said.
"Whoa!"
Because of the years of continuous war, although now he has stopped recuperating, the money and food of the imperial court are always insufficient, Chen Mo, as the prime minister, has a relatively hard life in this mansion, of course, it is also relatively relatively in the past.
These days of the New Year, the Prime Minister's Mansion also has a holiday, so that the officials in the palace go home to reunite with their families, near the New Year's Pass every year, it is the most idle time for others, but Chen Mo has to be the other way around, each subordinate will come to visit during this time, not only subordinates, now Chen Mo is the prime minister, one person is above 10,000 people, the actual controller of the imperial court, and the entire Luoyang family with some net worth will come to visit.
Chen Mo won't see them all, but he won't turn people away, even if he doesn't see them, he will let the housekeeper receive them, after so many years, the Chen family has its own set of processes, but this year there are many more people than in previous years, the gentry from the Central Plains, and the people within the Chen family, so in the past few days this year, Chen Mo is the busiest.
Chen Jin and Chen Zheng were also sent by Chen Mo to receive them, this is also a kind of experience, whether it is an official or a general, how to communicate with people is a science, this thing can't be taught, they can only let them have more contact, more contact, and they will be familiar with people, now they are still young, even if they will make some mistakes, everyone can understand, and when they are older in the future, if they make mistakes again, then they should be secretly scolded for not having a tutor.
In fact, there are many people who despise Chen Mo because of their background, but Chen Mo rarely pays attention to these gossips, it is impossible for everyone to like them, as long as he has a clear conscience, the foundation of the Chen family is a little bit consolidated with Chen Mo's efforts, and these voices will disappear with the passage of time.
Now the second generation of the Chen family, Chen Jin and Chen Zheng have begun to emerge, as long as there are no problems with the third generation, the Chen family will have the foundation.
The twelfth year of Han Zhu passed quietly in such an atmosphere, the arrival of the thirteenth year of Han Zhu, the world was peaceful, Chen Jin took the people prepared by Chen Mo for him, and sent them to Chengde, Chen Zheng went to the trap camp to start another period of his military career, and the Hu people in the north did not make a big fuss, under the suppression of Lu Bu, Tai Shici, and Zhao Yun, this year's border pass can be said to be the most comfortable year in these years, only Lu Bu seems to be aware of his old age, and wants to prove himself again, and he has taken the initiative to follow it several times, and the Xianbei Shan Yu personally ran to Luoyang to ask for a truce, was detained by Chen Mo in Luoyang.
As for whether the various ethnic groups outside the Seychelles will be in turmoil because of this, Shan Yu is gone, and there will definitely be chaos for a while, but this is not Chen Mo's business, civil strife is not enough to call friendly neighbors, if they are united, then it should be a headache for Chen Mo.
Sun Quan's attack on the Shouchun area still happens from time to time this year, but because of the death of several county orders last year, Chen Mo strengthened the defense of the Shouchun area this year, and the veteran Han Qiong fought a few battles with Jiangdong, but there was no big fight, and there were victories and defeats for each other, and in the end it was over.
In the thirteenth year of the Han Dynasty, because of the bumper harvest in the Central Plains the year before, this year, Chen Mo began to encourage reclamation in the Central Plains and encourage the development of craftsmen.
This is the first paper bookstore, but the face of the group, or to the wealthy family or the Shu family of the Han family, as far as the book itself, the Luoyang Bookstore, which has obtained the technology of the imperial court, sells books regardless of quality and exquisiteness, far more than the books that are spread to the market in small workshops today, but the price is expensive, and it is not much cheaper than bamboo slips, but at least the text has been priceless from the previous price to the present at least with money can be bought.
No matter when, what money can buy is cheap, and only what money can't buy is really precious, so Luoyang Bookstore was really making money at the beginning.
It's just such a lucrative business, even if the Sima family and the Zhong family's family background, they can't suppress other people, and a new round of fighting between the DPRK and China is launched again, but this time it is not centered on Chen Mo, but the Sima family and the Zhong family have become the targets of everyone's attack.
Chen Mo gave a few more places in due course, and in the fourteenth year of the Han Dynasty, there were Yingchuan Bookstore opened by Yingchuan Chen in Yangzhai, Chang'an Bookstore opened by Guanzhong Huangfu in Guanzhong, in addition to Yanzhou and Yuzhou, followed by Jizhou, Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou, Xiliang, in just one year, under Chen Mo's rule, there were 28 more bookstores.
However, the small workshops in the market have not disappeared, but because of the continuous production of regular bookstores, printing technology has not known when it has flowed into the people, and the books made by the small workshops have become more and more exquisite, and the prices are cheaper.
In short, in the fourteenth year of the overall calm Han Dynasty, another kind of war was set off within the Han Dynasty, which was a rare war situation in ancient and modern times, without gunsmoke, but the intensity was no less than a real war.
In order to gain a dominant position, the family could only see some books such as the Analects on the market, but in the second half of the year, some precious books could be found in regular bookstores, and the only books that had disappeared began to circulate in the market.
Corresponding to the continuous increase of the bookstore, it is the counties that began to build their own academies, the three schools proposed by You Heng in the early years, and now they began to be quietly established in this book war, and now the local students are mostly Hanmen, Shu and soldiers' children, and there are not many real people, after all, even if the two years under the promotion of Chen Mo, the people's life is better, but it is not good enough to be able to support a son to study in the academy, for the people, it is equivalent to one less labor force in the family, at most the family is slightly better, will buy a few books to pass on the family, so that children have the opportunity to read and write, among which the most purchased is the thousand-character essay created by Chen Mo in his early years.
In this lively and noisy year, on the contrary, in the prime minister's mansion, Chen Jin's marriage seemed a little inconspicuous under the successive joys.
For the Chen family, Chen Jin's marriage is not a trivial matter, although Chen Mo said that he doesn't care about what is right, but if Chen Jin really marries a common man as his wife, it is unrealistic, even if Chen Jin is a county magistrate, he will not have much intersection with ordinary people, and when he can really intersect with ordinary people, it should be when Chen Jin was the third elder, and now that he has been promoted to the county order, the most contact with the people is probably the government office to judge the case.
Besides, Chen Mo doesn't say that there are beautiful women around him, but the five wives and concubines, if the worst appearance is placed in a place, it can be regarded as beautiful, plus Chen Mo has made some achievements after Chen Jin was born, and there are also maidservants in the family, it can be said that he grew up in an environment surrounded by beautiful women since he was a child, and growing up in such an environment, the women of ordinary people's families are really difficult to get into his eyes.
And this Chen Jin's wife, her status is not too high, but she is not weak, she is the daughter of the Huaiyin Bu family, and she is also in the same county as the Chen family, and the woman's name is - Foot Trainer.
