"Zhu Jun borrowed soldiers, this is a sale." Wang Ming said with a smile.

"Hmm. That's right, the sale is on the door. That's a good thing, of course. Shang Wu said with a smile.

"But let's let that infantry fight? We have the 4th Infantry Division, the 2nd Infantry Division, and the Separate Brigade. There are a lot of troops, and they can't all be pressed up. Jia Xu said.

"That's not going to work, with so many troops, we have to have some benefit. Otherwise, it can't be fought in vain. Shang Wu said.

"That's true, let's see what kind of benefits we can get." Jia Xu said.

"Hmm. Zhao County, Zhongshan County, and Changshan County are all mountainous areas, and there are also some plains. In my opinion, we will use the strength of an infantry brigade and an independent brigade to fight, which involves a lot of engineering things, mainly to repair bridges and repair roads, and we must also boldly carry out interspersed operations. Separate brigades are the most suitable troops. Shang Wu said.

"Do you want to think about some combat units of the 4th Infantry Division, so that they can also participate in air operations, for example, airships, in this case, after all, there are some special areas of operations." Jia Xu said.

"Hmm. I think it's okay, let them prepare, in addition, we also have to anticipate some special situations, so let's transfer Xu Dou over and reconnoiter the north. Shang Wu thought about it and decided.

"Hmm. I think so, but we should negotiate with Zhu Jun as soon as possible. Let's make things better. Otherwise, we will not get the first money and run like this, which is a big loss for us. Shang Wu said. Jia Xu recorded it and nodded in agreement.

"But there's another problem that comes up for us. That's management. The situation in terms of governance is very bad. Ma Yokobe sent a report. Li Yun's governance of Huguan County was in a mess. Not only Huguan County, but also the eldest son, Tunliu, and various regions, such problems have arisen. If this continues, there will be a large-scale ripple of our poor governance. Jia Xu said worriedly. Jia Xu is also heartless and powerless about this, after all, he can only see and deal with it together, but it is still difficult to completely solve such a problem.

"Hmm. It's really hard to be in such a situation. This is extremely detrimental to us. We can't continue to live in such a situation. Shang Wu said.

"yes. That's what I'm worried about, but we don't have the talent to do that, and there's still a big gap. And there are also judicial officers. Supervisory bodies, we have not yet set up. Jia Xu said.

"This can't be delayed." Shang Wu said.

"Sir, do you need talent for this?" Wang Ming stepped forward and asked at this time.

"Yes, there is a big gap in management talents, if it can't be solved in time, it will be extremely unfavorable to us, and we definitely can't do such a thing, you know." Shang Wu said.

"Sir, I think that some talents can be accepted in this way, what I know is that there are many businessmen who want to be officials, but they don't have such opportunities, in Luoyang, and more places, government officials are controlled by gate valves, they control a lot of resource advantages, businessmen can only rely on extremely limited resources to survive, their ability is not bad. They also have a talent for that, and in this case, I think we can give these businessmen some jobs to them, of course. The prefect can give them some opportunity to campaign. Let them do it. Wang Ming said. Wang Ming knew that Shang Wu had once put forward the idea of a campaign. He couldn't agree more. This is the case in the commercial world, and if some businessmen can become government officials, they will be extremely beneficial to their business. Many businessmen have a lot of concern when they come into contact with Wang Ming. It's for them. This is a very important opportunity to help them even more.

"Hmm. I think, yes, there are a lot of savvy people on the business side who know how to manage. How to operate. In this way, it will also be of great help to our government. Shang Wu said.

"My concern, though, is that the businessman is too shrewd." Jia Xu said worriedly at this time.

"Hmm. You are worried that businessmen will focus too much on profits, and end up losing more people's living conditions because of profits. Is that right? Shang Wu asked.

"Yes, not only that, but I'm worried about many more things, such as embezzlement, corruption, and all kinds of money, power transactions. There are a lot of things like this. Jia Xu said. Shang Wu nodded. He is also worried about such things, businessmen are indeed very shrewd, but sometimes they will be too shrewd, for example, their purpose of being officials is very utilitarian, to seek benefits for themselves, if there is no such benefit, they will not do such a thing, which will make their situation even more unfavorable. So, in a situation like this, it seems to be their best course of action at the moment.

"Therefore, we must first select some honest people to become judicial officials with independent judiciary to ensure the impartiality of the judiciary, and at the same time, we should strengthen supervision, and I think the supervision of the news media, journalists, and parliamentarians is also very important." Shang Wu said.

"Well, that's the principle of separation of powers, right?" Jia Xu asked.

"Yes. This is the only way to do this, and only by doing so, can we make our situation a little bit better. Shang Wu said.

"That. All right. And so it did. Jia Xu nodded.

The scholars disdained to cooperate with thieves like Shangwu, who in their eyes were thieves, and cooperating with thieves would only make their situation very unfavorable. In this way, there is only one way for Shangwu to lack a large number of management talents. Working with merchants, because the peasants obviously lack such a consciousness, even if it is cultivated, it takes too long, and the experience and time cost is too great. This would be very detrimental to Shangwu and the Republican Army. The only way to do this is for businessmen to cooperate.

Moreover, businessmen also have this demand, they have been suppressed for a long time, and they cannot get their real political aspirations, in order to get such a political demand, some businessmen have to cooperate with warlords in order to seek a series of interests of their own. For example, the Mizhu family in Xuzhou of the Three Kingdoms. They are the quintessential speculative businessmen in mind. It is hoped that political speculation will be used to obtain maximum benefits.

In such a situation, Shangwu satisfied the interests of the merchants. and their political demands, but definitely not all-round satisfaction, the merchants are indeed shrewd, and they have a great deal of excellence in management. But they are too shrewd. Shrewdly treating politics and management as a kind of business is extremely detrimental to the control of the rights of ordinary people. Shangwu would never let such a thing happen, so they also need the support of the people, and the people to establish parliamentary oversight, only in this way can their situation become more favorable.

Separate Brigade. Headquarters.

"Damn, there's no combat mission, I'm all idle birds." Pei Yuanshao said anxiously.

"Lao Pei, pay attention." Zhou Cang said.

"How. Isn't it? If there was a war to be fought, I would definitely do such a thing, but the problem is that we don't have such a thing to do at the moment. Moreover, the weapons are not fully equipped, so let them all become sappers, what are sappers doing, building bridges and roads, and letting us do such a thing, isn't it embarrassing for us? Pei Yuanshao said. Zhou Cang came back and told Pei Yuanshao about the matter. Pei Yuanshao also likes such things, but the problem is that Pei Yuanshao thinks it's impossible. And he did not see it with his own eyes. He was on duty at the time. It's actually training. How to train without weapons.

"You dog temper, I really should send you to study at a military school." Zhou Cang said excitedly.

"Go. I'll go. I'm suffocating here anyway. Damn, when I go to the military academy, I have to take a good look at what is different about this military school. Pei Yuanshao said.

"Sir. Sir. It's a battle order. At this time, a staff officer rushed in excitedly and reported.

"What battle order?" Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao jumped up excitedly.

"Oh my God, we're going to fight the Black Mountain Bandits from the north." Zhou Cang said after reading it.

"Fighting those thieves? They are not as good as the officers and soldiers. Pei Yuanshao said impatiently. Hearing that it was a battle against thieves, he felt that it was a bit overkill. In that case, it is very bad for them. There is because he feels that it is a waste.

"Alright. This is also a combat mission. Why don't I send you to military school? Zhou Cang looked at Pei Yuanshao.

"Nope. No need. I'd better go to the front and have fun, damn it. Lao Tzu doesn't use firearms, and he can let them know how powerful we are. Pei Yuanshao said disappreciatively.

"Alright. Don't talk big. Do you think you can really do something like this? It's simply impossible. Zhou Cang said.

No matter what kind of army you are fighting, only by being careful can you make things better.

Handan, division headquarters of the 1st Infantry Division.

"Report to the chief, this is a transfer order from the War Department." A staff officer handed Xu Dou an order. Xu Dou quickly looked over.

"Hmm. Let the staff officers meet, especially the chief of staff, and let them come here urgently. Xu Dou said after reading the order. He received an order from headquarters. The order was clearly written that his mission was to return to work in the intelligence service, and the combat mission was to be temporarily managed by the chief of staff.
