After returning to the city for a few days, Mu Zijin was busy going to the celebration banquets everywhere, after all, this war, in terms of meritorious service, should be Mu Zijin the first, so all the celebration banquets everywhere hope to invite Mu Zijin. This time, it hurt Mu Zijin. Mu Zijin has never liked to go to this kind of boring banquet, but he was invited by many parties, but he couldn't shirk it, and he didn't eat much at home when he returned to the city.

It wasn't until Mu Hanan lay on Mu Zijin and said that he didn't agree to Mu Zijin going out to the banquet again, Mu Zijin simply took advantage of this step and threw his head outside, "When you are invited to the banquet, you will find light dust, and I will not go to the banquet", which can be regarded as stopping the endless cycle of going to the banquet every day.

In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed, and the wind of feasting in the city had just stopped.

Mu Zijin has already hung a military position, and he is also preparing to recruit soldiers, so it is impossible for him to be idle at home all day long as before. Every day, one hour in the morning and one hour in the evening, in order to facilitate the discussion, I go to Xia Qingchen to deal with military affairs on weekdays, and sometimes I may have to be busy until the night curfew, and I gradually began to lose my home.

Therefore, after everyone in the house was accustomed to Mu Zijin not being at home, Mu Zijin went home instead.

Mu Zijin first went to the backyard to ask his mother for Ci'an, and then coaxed Mu Han'an for a while to promise her to take her out to play later, and then rushed into Mu Changchuan's study.

Mu Changchuan is also having a headache, His Majesty has rewarded the fiefdom, which is a good thing; But the fiefdom means that the future financial income will be handled by him, not by the imperial court, not only that, but also need to pay tribute to the imperial court every year; In addition, although there are officials in the city who perform their own duties, the fief is different from the county town, and some officials are also dismissed and dismissed, and the main work of political, military, and civil affairs falls on him alone, so it is strange that he is not busy now.

Mu Changchuan thought that Mu Zijin had just come to submit a military report, and he didn't look up to pay attention to people. Mu Zijin came to discuss with someone about the selection of recruits, but he didn't dare to disturb Mu Changchuan, so he kept standing aside with the note in his hand and waiting for someone to speak, but Mu Changchuan didn't say a word, and he was busy correcting the music table handed in below without raising his head.

Mu Zijin stood for a while, he really couldn't wait, and called in a low voice, "Dad? ”

This call was very small, and Mu Changchuan didn't hear it. Mu Zijin shouted two or three times in a row, but Mu Changchuan was still immersed in the recital.

"Daddy!" Mu Zijin had no choice but to raise his voice.

Mu Changchuan was not mentally prepared, his hand shook, and the ink smeared a red dot on the reply slip. "No, why are you still here?"

Mu Zijin saw Mu Changchuan's reaction and held his forehead, "Dad, I've always been there." Seeing that the person's face had a tendency to turn dark, he hurriedly took over and didn't give him a chance to speak, "Dad, I have something to discuss with you, can you listen to it first?" ”

Mu Changchuan put down the pen and motioned for Mu Zijin to sit down, "Say it." ”

Mu Zijin didn't sit down, and handed over the note in his hand, "Dad, I found a very serious problem in this battle, that is, the reserve of troops.

"After the military was reduced due to the fighting, most of the recruits who were replaced were recruits who had only received temporary training for a few months. Although there are many hunters and warriors in Tianbei City, they are not systematically trained soldiers after all. Even if they are temporarily replenished, two or three are not as good as the combat power and cooperation of one person in the past, and sometimes, the newly recruited soldiers are easy to become the hind legs of the entire Bai.

"And it's time-consuming, requiring months of training on an ad hoc basis, whereas on the battlefield, months are enough time to decide a victory.

"So, I propose to take a militia combination. In addition to the official establishment of the Xiaolin Army, a reserve establishment was established. When recruiting new recruits, recruit more people, carry out the elimination system, and those who pass will be assigned to the Xiaolin Army, and those who are not qualified will be assigned to the reserve battalion. Those who are assigned to the reserve battalion are mainly engaged in agriculture in peacetime, supplemented by training, and if they need to replenish non-commissioned officers in wartime, they must first be transferred from the reserve battalion, and there is no need to temporarily select non-commissioned soldiers who have not been trained. ”

Mu Zijin finished what he wanted to say in one breath and looked at Mu Changchuan.

Mu Changchuan opened the notebook and looked at it at a glance. After reading it, Mu Changchuan closed the note in his hand, put it on the table, sighed, his face was heavy, he leaned back on the chair, and his fingers knocked on the table.

This proposal was already conceived by Mu Zijin when he was in the war, but at that time, Tianbei was not a fief of the Mu family, and it would be very troublesome to implement, especially those ministers were afraid that they would say that the Mu family wanted to support the army and respect themselves, and most of them would be rejected. But now, Tianbei is a fiefdom, and the military power of the Xiaolin Army has not been recovered, so there are some things that cannot be put in the beak by outsiders, but I am afraid that some things need to make some concessions.

Mu Changchuan closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "Although the method is good, who will do it?" Your eldest brother is busy selecting officials during this time, and you know that Xiaolin's gang doesn't know anything other than being able to fight, and this kind of large-scale revision plan can't succeed without a backbone..."

As soon as he said this, Mu Changchuan raised his head and just caught a trace of cunning in Mu Zijin's eyes. Mu Zijin hurriedly lowered his head again, pretending to be innocent.

"You've got you done the math for me, haven't you?"

Mu Zijin carefully thought about debunking, so he had to bow his head and pretend not to understand.

Mu Changchuan choked for a while, pointed at Mu Zijin and was speechless for a long time, slapped the table one last time, and threw the note over, "Do it well for me, if you don't do it, I'll kill you." ”

Mu Zijin hurriedly held the note watch steadily, and hugged his fist with a smile, "Dad, don't worry, I will never embarrass you." ”

Mu Changchuan pointed at him, "Do you really not know or pretend to be for me?" Isn't it fun to get involved in politics? ”

Mu Zijin did not reply for the first time.

Mu Changchuan was not in a hurry, just waiting for his answer.

"Dad..."Mu Zijin said in a low voice, "Anyway, I can't go back now, just let me go down..."

Mu Changchuan looked tired. Well, although he is very reluctant to admit it, he really has no problem with his "second son". waved his hand, "Okay, you are fully responsible for this matter." After speaking, he deliberately ruthlessly fell, "You dare to embarrass me?" ”

Mu Zijin pursed his lips, "I know Dad, then I'll go and prepare first?" ”

Mu Changchuan waved his hand impatiently, "Go and go, hurry up and get out, look upset." ”

Mu Zijin hurriedly slipped out, and his heart blossomed. Mu Changchuan frowned more and more, his heart became more and more chaotic, and finally flicked his sleeves and threw the watch in his hand.

"Don't look at it!"

The attendants outside the door looked at each other and hurriedly left with their heads bowed, and no one dared to linger near the study.

Mu Zijin was locked up in the room for a few more days, wrote out the final version of the recruitment reform, looked at it for a long time, and really couldn't find any problems, got up and packed up his things, and prepared to hand over this detailed plan to Mu Changchuan.

As soon as he got up, the door slammed open, and Mu Zijin watched Xia Qingchen rush in with a shocked expression, "What are you doing?" ”

Xia Qingchen also looked at Mu Zijin with a strange expression, "Ah Jin, are you stupid?" Didn't I tell you that I would have a banquet for my brothers today? ”

Mu Zijin was stunned, "Yes... Have it? Mu Zijin thought about it carefully, it seemed that two days ago, someone sent an invitation to come, but he was busy at the time, and he didn't pay attention to it, as if it was a stack of military newspapers on the desk. While thinking, Mu Zijin turned around and looked.

Xia Qingchen's eyes were sharp, and at a glance he saw the invitation letter at the top of the pile of documents on the desk, and he took the first step to take a look, and the fire paint was not removed! "Mu Zijin? You didn't even look at it?! ”

Mu Zijin scratched his head and laughed dryly, "Haven't you been busy all the time..."

"You have to go if you want to go today, and you have to go if you don't want to go!" Xia Qingchen didn't say a word, and dragged Mu Zijin away.

"Eh, eh! Light dust you wait! Mu Zijin watched as he was dragged out of the room, getting farther and farther away from the room, "No, you, eh!" Qingfeng (squire), give the note on my desk to my father's room! Also, go to my room and bring me my money bag! ”

Qingfeng hurriedly stuffed the money bag over, and the Liu family in the courtyard held his forehead and secretly sighed that Mu Zijin was becoming less and less like a girl, and Mu Hanan looked at it with a puzzled face, if it wasn't for the Liu family shaking his head with a smile, it is estimated that he would have rushed over to break Xia Qingchen's hand.

"Let me come, let me come, what are you dragging me for? My mother and they are all in the backyard, you can see it! The two walked on the street, and Mu Zijin was tidying up his clothes, while counting Xia Qingchen.

"How embarrassed would you be if you had been prepared before?" Xia Qingchen glared.

Mu Zijin waved his hand and said with a dry smile, "You don't know that we are very busy during this time, and there are so many things in the whole Tianbei, do you think we can get it done all at once?" ”

"Okay, don't be poor, I won't poke you in a while," Xia Qingchen said angrily, "It's here." ”

Mu Zijin stopped, looked up at the big signboard of Qingchun Pavilion, and glanced at the charming women next to him who were trying to solicit customers, sighed slightly, and the step that crossed the threshold failed to take a step for a while.

Xia Qingchen has been here many times, so his footsteps have never stopped, and he stepped in directly. When the old bustard got the news, he waited early, and when he saw Xia Qingchen entering, he immediately greeted him.

"Yo, General Xia, you're here, those brothers of yours have come a little better, and they have been arranged on the painting boat in the back, didn't you say that there is still a distinguished guest coming? Where is it... Yo, it's this son, right? The red-clothed handsome, and so handsome, General Xia, did you bring General Mu Xiao here? "The old bustard picks up the guests really first-class, and the recognition of people is also very accurate, neither of them introduced, but they can make this old bustard recognize Mu Zijin, "Why is General Mu Xiao still standing outside the door, hurry in!" ”

A glance passed, and a few little people next to him immediately surrounded him, Mu Zijin settled down, and walked out of the encirclement of those people without leaving a trace, "There is Lao's mother's arrangement, Qingchen, let's go directly to the painting boat." ”

"Hmm." Xia Qingchen responded slightly, and walked through the pavilions with Mu Zijin.

Mu Zijin had already eased up, and he could pretend to be able to do it again, with a hint of a smile on his lips, "Qingchen, are you a frequent visitor here?" ”

"Yes, in addition to Qingchun Pavilion in this city, the Yihong Xiaoban and Jingxiangyuan are also good, but when it comes to the top card, the major green buildings in the nearby cities are not as good as the Xiaoyan girl in this Qingchun Pavilion..."

Mu Zijin said with a smile, "Then look at you like this, this year is hungry?" ”

"That's..."Xia Qingchen took over without thinking about it.

Mu Zijin slapped people on the head, "You ruffian, why did I deceive you on that surface?" ”

Xia Qingchen covered the back of his head, turned around and glared, "Tsk, you can get out!" Do you think everyone can endure it like you? ”

Mu Zijin was stunned for two seconds, and kicked over, "Get out!" How old is Lao Tzu when he entered Xiaolin?! ”
