CHAPTER XXXVIII

For a few days after the marriage, Chen Fan never left the temple. Today, Mr. Qian came to report on the situation of the water supply project. He drove the car, took Qian Laohan and Liu He, and went to the scene.

"Divine Venerable, please see, this reservoir has been filled with water for 20 days, and it meets the standard of 10 days of precipitation required by the Divine Venerable." Old man Qian said, pointing to the full reservoir.

Chen Fan looked at the water that was still slightly turbid after the precipitation. said to Qian Laohan: "This reservoir needs to be dredging regularly, tentatively once every six months. Qian Laohan promised. Chen Fan continued: "Since the water storage has been successful, then find some people to come to the temple in the afternoon, and I will give you the filter material of the sand filter." Inform the whole city that water supply can start tomorrow. ”

Qian Laohan knelt down excitedly and bowed, and said: "The people can get water and make rice without leaving home." This work should be the most decrepit in this life. Thank God for his kindness and benefit the people. ”

Chen Fan picked up Qian Laohan and said calmly: "Now that the water supply project has been completed, the follow-up sewage project will be carried out to catch up." The best of your life will not be here. It is good to teach more apprentices, benefit the people and benefit the people, and don't just care about one place. I want everyone in the Great Song Dynasty to be convenient. His merits will be perfected, and I will be a god for you. ”

When Qian Laohan heard this, he stood up, and then knelt on the ground again, so excited that he cried. The god of national fortune actually wants to be a god for him.

Chen Fan drove away and went to the Shenwei military camp. Liu He sat aside and said, "Divine Master, the apprentice has something to say. ”

Chen Fan never turned his head and replied: "If Fuwa doesn't understand anything, say it." ”

Liu He said: "Master, the water supply project is so huge, if it weren't for the 100,000 slaves, it would have been a waste of people's strength. However, this project is only for the convenience of the people to take a few steps to get water. If others follow suit, it may be harsh. ”

Chen Fan smiled, still looking at the road ahead, and said calmly: "Fuwa can look at the problem from the amount of work, which is already better than those who only look at the results." But it is not enough, we must have a farther vision, a strategic layout vision and a sense of long-term development. The cistern is not just to raise the drop and let the water flow into the people's homes. The most important thing is to store. I, the people of the Great Song Dynasty, mainly focus on farming. Every drought or flood is a year of famine and disaster. If we are more daring, with the mountain as the wall and the river as the pool, it will be a natural reservoir. Storing water in flood years and releasing water in drought years, where can hungry people be everywhere and floating corpses everywhere. Although the amount of work is large, once completed, the merit is in the present and the benefits are in the future. ”

Liu He looked at Chen Fan blankly. Instantly, I felt as if a window had opened in my brain. This window allows him to see farther and wider.

Chen Fan arrived at the Shenwei military camp and summoned Yue Yun and Zhang Yu. He said to Zhang Yu: "Gather everyone immediately, I will test the results of your training." The two saluted together and said "yes" in return. So he went and gathered the team. Liu He stood aside, using the divine sound box, repeatedly listening to Chen Fan's words just now.

Chen Fan walked to the front of the team, looked at everyone and smiled, and said, "Today, I'm here to test everyone." Although everyone is wearing a god uniform and is called the God Guard, not everyone can do it. Look at your empty shoulders and see if they are different from the heavenly army in the mirror (TV). ”

The sergeants listened attentively, and they had also asked why there was no sign on the shoulders of the Celestial Army. The answer was answered, but Zhang Yu didn't know either.

Chen Fan took out the poster of the list of military ranks, held it high in his hand, and said: "This is the military rank, which is the symbol of the Heavenly Army." From the moment you put on the epaulettes of your rank, you have truly become a celestial army. ”

The sergeants excitedly straightened up. They want to be a true Celestial Army, a Celestial Army that is out of the realm of mortals.

"If you pass the examination, today is the day you will be awarded. The assessment begins! After speaking, Chen Fan handed over the assessment content to Zhang Yu, and he stood aside and watched the sergeants conduct the assessment. Zhang Yu saluted and received the order, turned around and went to command the assessment.

Chen Fan said to Yue Yun: "Haibao, can you have it?" ”

Yue Yun nodded and replied, "Divine Master, there are seven of them. The net worth is innocent, the body is strong, the political consciousness is high, and it meets the requirements. ”

Chen Fan continued: "Then wait for the assessment to be over, and let Yue Lei lead them to the office." Yue Yun saluted and said yes.

After an hour, the assessment ends. Pull-ups, six-mile runs, 100-meter rushes, push-ups, stoots, squats. All the sergeants were qualified.

Zhang Yu proudly walked up to Chen Fan, saluted and said, "Divine Venerable, the eight hundred divine guards have completed the assessment, and all of them are qualified!" ”

Chen Fan saluted back with satisfaction and said, "Okay, congratulations to everyone on all of you passing today." You will witness with me that the Great Song Dynasty has embarked on the road of revival. Hearing this, the Divine Guards saluted excitedly.

Chen Fan straightened his body and awarded Yue Yunzhong the title of lieutenant and Zhang Yu the rank of major. In addition to the seven people led by Yue Lei, he selected the twenty-four people with the highest grades, awarded them the rank of corporal, and accepted their fate as platoon commanders. Seventy-two more people were selected by Zhang Yu and awarded the rank of superior soldier and appointed as squad leader. Yue Yun was awarded the rank of private for the remaining soldiers.

Yue Yun assigned a squad for the sergeants, with every eleven people in a squad, every three squads in a platoon, and every three platoons in a company. There were a total of ninety-nine people in the company, and the company commander was in charge.

Chen Fan came to the office of the barracks, bypassed the standing crowd, and sat on the Lord.

Yue Lei saw Chen Fan sitting down, so he stepped forward and saluted and said, "Divine Venerable, I will wait for eight people to come to meet you." "Others, salute.

Chen Fan waved his hand and motioned for everyone to be exempted. He smiled and said to everyone, "Those of you here will be my personal bodyguards, are you willing?" ”

The eight saluted again and replied, "Die for the gods." ”

Chen Fan laughed and said, "Actually, by my side, I must be protecting you more." You're not just going to protect me. It is even more important to protect this country and defend our nation. You will be eight sharp swords that will pierce the breasts of the aliens, capture their kings, and bring peace to the Han family. ”

Everyone listened with enthusiasm and replied, "I do!" Chen Fan nodded with satisfaction.

Chen Fan continued: "You are not only my guards, but also my disciples. Everyone replied excitedly: "Thank you." ”

Chen Fan said: "I'll give you the nickname of the Celestial Empire." You call it the first ring, you call the second ring...... Your name is Seven Rings. You will be awarded the rank of sergeant and appointed company commander. The crowd gladly agreed.

Yue Lei was anxious and asked, "Divine Venerable, what about me?" Chen Fan thought for a while and said, "Your name is 3.5 rings." You will be awarded the rank of second lieutenant, and you will also receive a company. These eight people, led by you, are good at training. Yue Lei saluted excitedly and said yes.

Chen Fan suddenly said: "Especially the fifth ring, you have one more ring than the fourth ring, and you have one less ring than the sixth ring." Don't insult the name of your five rings. After speaking, Chen Fan remembered that the round-faced fat man of the later generations laughed out loud.

I saw Wuhuan saluting with a confused face and saying yes.
