In the summer and June of the first year of Yanhe.

The Xinfeng County Yamen was crowded with traffic, and 237 people crowded the already narrow county Yamen.

"Gentlemen......" An official walked out of the county office, smiling and bowing his hand to everyone.

"Chen Xiancheng!" Everyone hurriedly returned the salute, this county magistrate of Xinfeng County is the most familiar Xinfeng official among these new officials.

Since the beginning of the public examination, it is he who has come forward to organize the examination, read out the policy, and inform the results.

Many people even have a good evaluation of this county man, thinking that he is approachable, peaceful and elegant, and is a rare pure elder.

Chen Wannian walked in front of everyone with a smile and arched his hand: "Let you wait for a long time, please come with this official......

As he spoke, he led everyone and walked towards the outside of Xinfeng City.

This made many scholars drum in their hearts: What tricks is this Xinfeng going to play again?

But no one dared to question it, everyone was thinking about how to make a good impression on their boss so that they could be assigned a good position in the future, preferably close to His Royal Highness the eldest grandson or the place where the lieutenant servant was located.

Therefore, everyone silently followed Chen Wannian out of the Xinfeng City Gate, and after about two quarters of an hour of trekking, everyone arrived at their destination.

There is a valley here, and in front of the valley is an open field, and on the fields and hills, cattle and sheep can be seen peacefully grazing pasture.

Several herders on horseback patrol the area from time to time.

In the distance, a dozen or so children, led by their mothers, frolicked happily among the herds, and from time to time there were children riding a few rams, showing off everywhere.

"I have long heard that there is a group of Huiqu herdsmen in Xinfeng who are raising a herd of livestock, and now it seems that this is about the pasture of Xinfeng County...... "Many people are talking about it: "It's just that Xinfeng County can afford such a large herd?" ”

In today's world, the main use of livestock, in addition to being used as transportation animals, is to slaughter and eat meat.

In the border area, there are large livestock owners, who raise thousands of livestock, and their families are no less than those of large landowners who occupy thousands of hectares of fertile land.

However, this is Guanzhong, there is a lack of sufficient pasture and forage, and a herd of this size may cost millions of dollars a year just to maintain it!

Many people feel that the final fate of these cattle and sheep and other livestock is probably to be slaughtered, and then the meat is sold and the funds are returned.

But......

These Huiqu herdsmen were naturalized in Xinfeng not long ago.

This reveals that the Xinfeng authorities seem to intend to make a big deal in animal husbandry?

Many knowledgeable young scholars are worried at the moment.

Is animal husbandry profitable?

And of course make money!

Back then, the old imperial historian Bu Shi, relying on shepherding, the family accumulated tens of millions.

Shanglin Yuan's Shuiheng Duwei Yamen, in the past 20 years, has been collecting rent from her deer for the fake people's doe, and her annual income is tens of millions.

Many of the heroes and strongmen in Biansai are widely accumulating livestock, adapting measures to local conditions, developing animal husbandry, and having tens of millions of families, not to mention how good a small life is.

But......

In Guanzhong, in the interior, there has never been an example of someone who has developed by raising so many livestock.

Because, there is no suitable pasture in Guanzhong.

Many people who have already decided to do something in Xinfeng have even prepared a draft in their hearts, planning to advise Zhang Shizhong and His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, maybe they can be valued!

There are a lot of things on my head.

That Chen Wannian Chen Xiancheng had already led people to a dome and bowed: "Zhang Xianzun, all the new officials have been brought, a total of two hundred and thirty-seven people...... Please prefectural instructions! ”

I heard a gentle male voice from the dome: "I'm tired of Chen Xiancheng, let's take you to change your clothes first......"

"No!"

At that moment, there were officials, pushing several deer carts and carrying many things, and came to the front of everyone.

Everyone looked at it and found that they were all military clothes such as silk and wool clothes.

The so-called linen is a kind of foot-binding clothing developed from the evil banner of the Zongzhou period, which is generally a linen outfit from the bottom up, spiraling from the foot and wrist to the knee, similar to the leggings of the modern army.

Poetry cloud: Chifu is in the stock, and the evil amplitude is below. He made friends with bandits, and the Son of Heaven gave them.

Since the beginning of the Warring States period, Zong Zhou's evil banner has developed into a relatively mature legging outfit, which is widely equipped in the armies of other countries, especially Qin.

Because of this, the Han Dynasty vigorously promoted it, so that 'the drum officials were red and silky' became the standard for local grassroots officials in the Han Dynasty.

As for the wadding, it is a kind of military leggings.

The famous minister of the previous generation, Chao Cuo, once wrote to Emperor Taizong, asking for the wide gift of the Biansai soldiers' strong armor and clothes, strong bows and sharp blades. Yibian County Liang Cavalry' to resist the invasion of the Huns.

Nowadays, with the needs of the Han army's expeditions, it has been more widely used in various field troops, and has become a kind of armor with the largest number of equipment in the Han army.

Naturally, this primitive leggings are also inexpensive.

It is filled with burlap cloth with some silk wool, the texture is thicker, but it is very soft, which can not only effectively protect the legs, so that soldiers can jump and run more flexibly, but also have a certain cold effect, especially suitable for fighting in the cold areas of the north.

When everyone saw it, they all looked at each other, and they didn't know what new tricks this Xinfeng's Zhang Shizhong was going to play.

I listened to Chen Wannian say: "All the gentlemen, please change into this line of silk and clothes......

Immediately, there were officials, distributing the cloth and clothes to the people one by one.

It's strange that each person received three sets.

What is this for?

Many people had doubts in their hearts, but they obeyed the order and changed into these outfits.

So, half an hour later, in the open space in front of the pasture, the two hundred and thirty-seven scholars basically changed their clothes.

Then, the tent door of the vault was opened, and Zhang Yue, wearing a suit of armor and a long sword tied to his waist, walked out under the protection of two warriors.

"Gentlemen!" Zhang Yue smiled and bowed to everyone: "I am Zhang Zizhong of Xinfeng Ling, and all the gentlemen should have heard the name of this official......"

As soon as these words came out, the crowd immediately talked about it.

"This is Zhang Chiyou...... many people can't believe their eyes.

It's really too much of a contrast between reality and legend.

In everyone's imagination, this Zhang Chiyou, even if he is not two feet tall, should at least be more than eight feet, with a big waist and a horizontal face.

But what appeared in front of everyone's eyes now was a young military general who might not even be seven feet tall, looked clear-eyed, and had a sense of weakness.

If it weren't for the armor worn by this lieutenant officer, he would be a Jia Changsha-like literati that everyone had guessed in their minds.

Zhang Yue listened to the discussion, and his face was a little stiff.

Zhang Chiyou?

In recent days, he has also heard about it, and he has given him the nickname Zhang Chiyou in private.

This made him a little unhappy.

What kind of brother does he look like a muscular man?

But it's just unpleasant.

He raised his hand slightly, glanced at everyone, and said in his heart: "See if I don't train you and wait for half a death?" ”

In my mind, the scenes of military training I received in college and when I joined the company came to mind one by one.

At this time, everyone finally quieted down, and bowed together: "Xiaguan and others have seen Zhang Shizhong!" ”

Zhang Yue returned the salute and said, "All gentlemen are exempt!" ”

Then he carried his sword, walked to the front of the crowd, and said: "First of all, on behalf of His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, this official greets the kings, Xinfeng Lishu can get the help of the kings, and his life will definitely get better!" ”

"But ......" Zhang Yue smiled lightly: "You can't be proud, because you can't be called a 'good official'!" ”

"What is a good officer?" Zhang Yue said: "The so-called good officials, resolutely obey the orders of the Shangguan, resolutely complete the tasks of the Shangguan, resolutely support the Han Dynasty, resolutely be loyal to Sheji, resolutely loyal to the Zongmiao, loyal to Your Majesty!" ”

"If you are called, you will come and go, and if you come, you can fight, and you will win the battle!"

"This is the good officer!"

This is also what the pipe is called: the order is done, the prohibition is stopped, the constitution is within reach, and the vulgar is subjected. Such as the heart of the body, the government is also expected! ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Yue grinned and asked, "Are you willing to become such a good official?" ”

When everyone heard this, they dared to object, and they all bowed and said, "We really want to be such officials!" ”

"Please also give instructions and teachings in the service!"

"Good!" Zhang Yue said with a smile: "Then from today onwards, I and you will conduct a ten-day military training here!" ”

"I hope that through this military training, you can correct some bad habits of the monarchs and develop excellent habits of abiding by discipline, orders, and order......

"The so-called punishment without teaching is a crime, before the military training, this official is telling the king: since it is military training, everything is carried out by military law, and all offenders and violators should be severely punished!"

"If you don't want to participate, it's too late to quit now!"

With that, he scanned the audience and stared at it for a few seconds.

There was no hand raised or objection.

On the contrary, he seemed to see that the crowd was filled with emotions called excitement and euphoria.

This made Zhang Yue a little suspicious, what is the situation?

In his mind, when a literati doctor encounters such a thing as military training, he will definitely jump out and shout something like 'Sven sweeping the floor' or 'this is not the act of a Confucian minister' to protest.

At the very least, there should be a scum jumping up for him to set up a dismount.

But now, the situation is completely different from what was expected.

Almost all of them were eager to try, with a look of 'give orders in the waiter, we will start soon'.

This is the deviation caused by his confusion between the literati of the Han Dynasty and the literati of later generations.

The literati doctors of the Han dynasty have always admired and pursued the all-round model of civil and military affairs that can govern the army on the horse and govern the people when they get off the horse.

Even Sima Xiangru of that year once entered the southwest with a festival, appeased the southwest and made meritorious contributions to the country.

Another literary leader, Yan Zhu, even led the army south to suppress the rebellion in Minyue.

The gentlemen of Guliang, although they shouted 'it is better to be kind', they want peace and not war.

However, the social atmosphere is that 'the army has its own golden house, and the army has its own Yan Ruyu'.

For almost all classes, the idea that military merit is the highest is a deep-seated one.

In other words, in fact, the Guliang School is now in peace, just because they are unable to fight the main battle, and they do not have a general who can handle it.

It is even very likely that it is only because of the main battle of the Ram School that the Guliang School wants to make peace.

Otherwise, how can the gentlemen of Guliang show their uniqueness?

This is just like back then, before the Ram School did not flourish, almost all Confucian scholars, when they heard the word Xiongnu, they were like being beaten with chicken blood, shouting that they wanted to pout the teacher outside the fortress and recover the new Qinzhong, and Shan Yu would hunt under the Yin Mountain.

So even the Gu Liang students who are now among these scholars are now excited.

Everyone was ecstatic in their hearts: "Zhang Shizhong is really ready to lead the army out of the fortress!" ”

It's not that this young lieutenant officer has already planned to lead the troops out of the fortress and make meritorious contributions to find a marquis, why should he do such a thankless thing as 'military training' in Xinfeng?

And why did everyone break their heads and squeeze into Xinfeng, competing for a small official quota that was not even enough for 100 stones?

Isn't it because everyone bets that this Zhang Shizhong may lead the army out of the fortress in the future and come here in advance to occupy a pit?

Now, Zhang Yue announced military training, which undoubtedly shows his ambition to make meritorious contributions in the future.

Almost everyone cheered in their hearts.

Chang Yuan even couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and wanted to sing.

He came to Xinfeng, didn't he just want such a result?

"I won the bet!" Chang Yuan clenched his fists and said in his heart: "Father, you wait, my son will definitely pick you up!" ”

And beside Chang Yuan, two young men dressed in Hanfu, but with brown eyes, hugged each other and cheered loudly: "Zhang Shizhong is victorious!" ”

Their actions immediately detonated everyone's emotions, and everyone cheered: "Zhang Shizhong Wansheng!" ”

At this moment, everyone seems to see the glorious prospect of following this servant to make meritorious contributions in the future!

As long as you succeed in winning, everyone will be rewarded handsomely!

In that year, Li Guangli, the general of the second division, went on an expedition to Dawan.

After the victory, he contributed nine princes to the empire at one time, two nine kings, twelve middle two thousand stones, more than one hundred two thousand stones, and hundreds of thousand stone officials.

Even the men in the army were rewarded.

The condemned prisoners and slaves who ventured to follow Li Guangli were all pardoned and rewarded.

And the famous general Wei Qinghuo of the previous generation went to illness, which was even more amazing.

Under the command of Da Sima Huo, a total of more than 30 marquis were born, and there were countless 2,000 stones.

Under the command of the general Wei Qing, more than 20 lieges were born, including even the prime minister of the current dynasty!

Wei Huo's relatives and military merit group even held state power for more than 20 years, until Changping died of illness, and then began to gradually decline.

And this Zhang Shizhong, once he has the qualification to lead the army.

His lower limit will not be lower than Li Guangli's lowest limit, but the upper limit may be Huo Quai's Wei Qing!

Other words......

Waiting for the general, everyone has a chance!

To get ahead and glorify your ancestors is not a dream at all!

Instantly, morale max, cohesion max.

Zhang Yue was like a fool, looking at these young people, he had to sigh for a long time: "This is probably the reason why the Han family is strong!" ”

Even the scholars and literati are all warmongers and war maniacs.

One can imagine how terrifying the combat effectiveness of this nation will be.

It is no wonder that even when it comes to Yuancheng, he can produce a Chen soup, take two or three thousand people, coerce the servant army, and the commander will travel thousands of miles, and return with the head of the Zhizhi branch, and he can even shout out the sentence: Those who commit strong men will be punished even if they are far away.
