Chen Dujing's words are very positive, and the people around him also agree with them very much.

Indeed, the houses are very neatly built, each with five rooms, each with 10 people, each with 50 people, and 1,600 people living in the houses are all five brick houses, all with their backs facing north and facing south, so that they can make the most of the sunlight.

Every five houses were lined up along a main road until the last row of the camp to the north.

It is separated by a bamboo fence on the left side, the Nan'an River on the left, the vegetable garden and pig pen on the north side, and the Houfu Courtyard on the east side.

The neat houses give a good impression, although it is only a regimental training, but the living conditions here are already on par with the forbidden army in Fuzhou, and in terms of details, it is far more than the forbidden army.

There were some exercise equipment everywhere in the intervals of the house, which was not available to the Forbidden Army.

There were ten people living in each room, which was much more spacious than the camp for more people. The room uses the bunk bed design designed by Xu Zixian, and the space is larger.

There are also neatly arranged wooden cabinets, of course, it is impossible to build very exquisitely, quite rough, that is, sawn logs nailed cabinets, and the ground is also laid with wooden boards full of insect eyes, but they are neatly placed, and everyone's cups, tooth shabu, and towels are placed neatly.

If you have seen this kind of situation elsewhere, it will not have much impact, but Chen Dujing and others are over fifty years old, and it is the first time they have seen the barracks arranged like this.

And there is more than one, more than 100 houses open the door and enter, and the interior furnishings are exactly the same.

Chen Dujing initially thought that those neat rooms might be officers' quarters, and he was still wondering why officers were crowded into one room, and when he looked at the interior furnishings of dozens of rooms, a strange emotion enveloped his heart.

It's shocking, and it's not very understandable.

This neatness is a bit perverted, all the bedding has to be folded in the same shape, and all the cups, towels, including the changed robes, are placed in the same place.

One room is like this, and a hundred rooms are still like this.

Finally, when he saw the soldiers lining up to eat and starting to eat together under the order, Chen Dujing faintly understood that under such strict rules, it was not that Xu Zi did useless things first, but that every soldier had to be tempered in the most subtle detail. Discipline, obedience, these warriors will slowly integrate these things into every subtle movement, every thought, and even penetrate into their bones and blood, and finally form a brand that cannot be erased for a lifetime.

This is a clever technique, Xu Zi first provided them with the best dwellings, utensils, and bedding, these warriors were all from homeless people and peasant families, they knew to cherish, and when they were forced to organize and place these items, they subconsciously took it for granted, and there was nothing wrong with doing so.

Then it is more efficient to line up for food, swarming to grab food, like ordinary box army and forbidden army, in addition to creating chaos, there will always be people who can't eat.

In the Nan'an regiment training here, the officers are responsible for maintaining order, and each soldier will be given soup and rice, which the officers will distribute later. If the meal is not prepared enough, only the officers will be hungry.

Of course, according to Xu Zixian's habit, he usually goes to the barracks to eat, and the last to eat, there is really one person who can't eat, and it can only be Xu Zixian himself.

This kind of subtle subtlety is not too rough, unlike some generals with troops, who use the method of beating military sticks to determine their authority, and punish the soldiers under their command with severe punishment at every turn, so that at most the soldiers are afraid of majesty, and once there is a stronger threat, no soldier will die for this kind of commander.

Some of them are blindly gracious, rich in clothes and food, fine wine and fat sheep, do not punish them, indulge in military discipline, and try to use this method to make the soldiers know their kindness and repay it.

As everyone knows, people's psychology is the same, they want to get more when they get some benefits, until one day the Lord will find that he has no reward, and the soldiers under his command are still hoping for more.

Such armies tend to collapse at the touch of a button when they enter the battlefield, and multiply their combat effectiveness when they plague the people.

Xu Zixian obviously mastered the rhythm and methods of military training, and the net he laid was dense and effective, moisturizing things silently, which not only made the soldiers admire and get close, but also made them afraid of military law and Xu Zixian's personal majesty.

Chen Dujing, who also led troops in Qizhou, felt like the waves of the sea, wave after wave.

If he and Xu Yingbin could have led troops like this when they were in Qizhou, would there have been no fiasco that was defeated by Qishan bandits, and Xu Yingbin might still be alive?

Chen Dujing didn't think that Xu Zixian had just given him too many surprises with these means. What's more, what he saw in front of him alone was enough to amaze him.

"I've seen my uncle." Xu Zixian finally rushed back, he jumped off the horse, strode to the front of the carriage with great energy, saluted Chen Dujing, and then greeted several other people from the Changwen Marquis Mansion, everyone returned the salute, and finally Xu Zixian greeted Chen Zhengzhi and Chen Wenjun on the other side of the carriage, they were all peers, and they spoke a lot more casually.

Everyone noticed that the hem of Xu Zixian's robe and boots were stained with duck feathers and some duck dung, and there was also a strong fishy smell on his body, but Chen Wenjun didn't mind, but just looked at Xu Zixian with curious eyes.

"I built some duck houses by the river." Xu Zixian looked at Chen Wenjun and explained to everyone: "There are more than 10,000 of them in the first batch, and I took people to patrol the duck house for a long time, stained with some duck feathers and duck droppings, please uncle and you forgive me." ”

"It's a good thing to herd ducks." Chen Dujing is very good, and said with a smile: "When I was in Qizhou, I also persuaded people to release more ducks, but they didn't want to pay the raw money, the ducks raised more, and the money they paid more, but it was inevitable that there were those who ran away, died of illness, and the raw money had to be paid, so they didn't like to raise, in fact, the cost of raising ducks is low, the consumption is small, and a couple can put thousands of ducks, which is more tiring than raising pigs, but only a few pigs can be raised." ”

Xu Zixian smiled: "It's just that the raw money is too high." ”

"yes." Chen Dujing sighed, knowing that Dawei's miscellaneous taxes were too much and too heavy, and ordinary people were really going to be overwhelmed.

Xu Zi first had the privilege of tax exemption, so it didn't matter if he raised 100,000 ducks, ordinary duck farmers had to consider taking out a large amount of money to pay taxes and then take the risk.

"Mingda is patient with loneliness, not afraid of trivialities." Chen Dujing turned his head to teach his son a lesson, and said to Chen Zhengzhi: "You should also do things like this, be careful, meticulous, not afraid of trouble, and those who have achieved great things must see the distance clearly, and they must also see the ...... under their feet."

At this moment, Chen Dujing is not like a Changwen Marquis and a big businessman who has no last resort, but like a loving father who teaches his children in a pure manner.

Chen Zhengzhi said with a smile: "I can see Mingda's ability, my father doesn't need to say much, I want to stay here for a while and study hard with Mingda." ”

"Okay, okay." Chen Dujing is quite satisfied with his son's performance, Chen Zhengzhi is a few years older than Xu Zixuan, and he already has the official rank of school secretary, but he does not put on a show, he does not think that this place is biased, and he does not have the arrogance of a gentleman, which makes him quite satisfied.

Xu Zixian said, "Uncle, do you want us to go into the other courtyard to talk?" ”

"I heard that Dr. Wu has built a Ming Hall on the east side, and it has been completed, right? If possible, I would like to visit Dr. Wu and ask him for advice in person. ”

"Mr. Wu generally doesn't see outsiders." Xu Zi thought about it first and said, "But my uncle came at the right time, Mr. Wu has stopped teaching for a while, and he has more free time." ”

"Oh, I see." Chen Dujing said meaningfully: "Are you preparing to leave for Beijing?" ”

"Yes, in ten days."

"Okay, you have a letter to me about this, and I am just about to talk to you about ......"

Wu Shizhong has been officially appointed, and as a guest of the Hou Mansion, he is about to go north to Beijing on a sea ship.

Starting from Fuzhou Port, it may take about a month to arrive in Beijing, departing in October, arriving in Beijing in November is the best time, the festival is held at the end of the year, and it is a great disrespect to be late or not to arrive, so all the princes will set off at this time.

The princes of this dynasty, the princes, and the marquis are only in Beijing, Jiangling, and Fuzhou, and the princes are all the state capitals, but the number is quite limited compared to the nobles of the clan, at this time, there may be more than 20 roads everywhere in the country There are officials who are ordered to go north, arrive at the Jingshi of the Great Wei Dynasty in the cold winter, and sacrifice to the Taimiao where the spiritual seat of Emperor Taizu is located.

This is a manifestation of obedience and tameness, and the same ritual as the princes in the Spring and Autumn Period to seal the soil is to establish the authority of the center of the Great Wei, without any other purpose.

At the same time, it is also a great burden to weaken the financial resources of the nobles everywhere, and to have sufficient centers, each princely state has to pay a hundred taels of gold.

Since the time of Wenzong, the Great Wei was abundant, and the contribution of tens of thousands of taels of gold a year also became dispensable, and the two generations of emperors of Wenzong and Renzong were all holy monarchs, and the princes of each family were rich and poor, and began to replace gold with copper, Wenzong and Renzong did not care, which became a default unspoken rule that has been passed down to the present.

On the way to Mingtang, Xu Zixian changed his robe and told Chen Dujing about his worries about entering Fengqijin.

"If the official family does this, I'm afraid it will cause turmoil in the world?" Chen Dujing said with some skepticism: "Although this can get rid of hundreds of princes and people's marquises, what good can the Son of Heaven do?" ”

"It's a very simple thing." Xu Zixian said: "To establish authority, one is to show the power of the sky, and the other is to remove a large number of princes and weaken the local centrifugal force." People of insight should be able to feel that the Great Wei was defeated many times in the north and northwest, and the losses were extremely heavy. Those are all forbidden troops in the northern towns, directly under the Privy Council of the Beijing Division, that is, the power of the Son of Heaven. The financial endowment is tight, and the forbidden army has suffered heavy losses, how could the Son of Heaven not consider the local centrifugation and departure? What's more, this saint was already extremely suspicious......"
