Chapter 52: The First Rise of Authority

I thought it was going to the council hall to discuss matters, but who knew that Chen Jia took Zhang Song and Song Pei around and went to Yu Minzhi's house.

Although it was not yet dark, candles had already been lit in Yu Min's house. Many people were there, Liu Yongsheng, Yu Xinzhi, Shen You, Zhou Xizi, Zhang Song and Song Pei arrived, and no one made a sound.

After Chen Jia's speech, Zhang Song stepped forward to salute Yu Minzhi, Yu Minzhi's face was calm, but her eyebrows were a little tired, she returned the salute to Zhang Song, and then pointed to a seat next to her and asked Zhang Song to sit down. After Zhang Song greeted the others warmly, he sat down peacefully.

With Yu Minzhi's cough, everyone quieted down, and Yu Minzhi said: "I just let go of a thief yesterday, and today three of us ran away in the valley." ”

When it came to this topic, everyone present was silent, and the atmosphere was a little depressing.

Zhang Song stood up and wanted to explain. Yu Minzhi waved his hand for Zhang Song to sit down, and continued: "Zhang Jun sit down and wait for me to finish speaking." To tell you the truth, I was a little dissatisfied yesterday with a thief who came to plunder, and the people on our side actually didn't complain about him just because he was pretty, and let him go, and someone gave him a horse when he left. ”

Hearing this, Yu Xinzhi's face turned red and he was a little ashamed, and he twisted his body in his seat a few times.

Yu Minzhi turned his head and said to Zhang Song: "I was also a little dissatisfied with you at that time. ”

Zhang Song stood up again, intending to apologize to Yu Minzhi for making a decision without asking Yu Minzhi for instructions at that time.

Yu Minzhi shook his hand, motioned for Zhang Song to sit down, and continued: "I even regret it, I think that I shouldn't hand over those captives to you for fear of infamy, but should kill them all ruthlessly." Later, I thought about it, what I could think of, would such a smart person as Zhang Jun not think of it? There must be a deeper reason for him to do this, and after thinking about it, I finally figured it out, in addition to letting the disabled thieves go back to consume the power of the Flying Dragon Thief, that is, to win the trust of the people present at the time, we Qingsong Valley are the righteous side, and we are true to our words! ”

"I wonder if I missed something?" Yu Minzhi said to Zhang Song with a smile.

Zhang Song just wanted to answer no, but looking at Yu Minzhi's meaningful eyes, he said with a clear heart: "There is another point, which is to disintegrate the common hatred of the Flying Dragon Thief." ”

Yu Minzhi turned back to the people in the room: "It seems that I haven't thought about Zhang Jun enough." ”

Zhang Song, Song Pei and the others all got up and said, "Madame is too modest", Yu Minzhi waved his hand and asked everyone to sit down.

"Okay, let's not talk about it. Let everyone come here today mainly to discuss how to deal with the defection of Zhou Mingshu, Ding Sanshan, and Wu Hong, and everyone will share their opinions. ”

Although it was for everyone to express their opinions, Yu Minzhi immediately looked at Zhang Song, and the rest of the room also looked at Zhang Song.

"Although they have fled, we still have to find out why they fled, where they fled, and if we know where they are, it is best to persuade them to come back. It's just that the most important thing at the moment is to strengthen vigilance to prevent Zhou Mingshu from bringing people to attack us after taking refuge with others. Zhang Song said after a moment's silence.

Zhang Jun is right, it is up to Xin Zhi to find out why and where Zhou Mingshu and them escaped. If there is anything you can't grasp, discuss more with me and Zhang Jun, and don't be presumptuous and make your own opinions. Yu Minzhi said sternly to Xinzhi.

Yu Xinzhi stood up and said loudly: "Please rest assured, Sister A, I will definitely handle this matter." ”

Yu Minzhi's face softened at this time, and she said to everyone: "Zhou Mingshu is gone, there should be someone in charge of the military he originally managed, and everyone should discuss who will take over." ”

Liu Yongsheng and Shen Yu exchanged ears, Chen Jia lowered his head and pondered, and Yu Xinzhi looked at Yu Minzhi. Zhou Xizi opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't know what he thought of, and finally he didn't say anything. Zhang Song's face was calm, he reached out and took a sip of the tea on the table, and glanced at Song Pei, but he didn't say anything. It's just that when you look closely, you will find the eagerness in Zhang Song's eyes, and the teacup is a little tight.

After a while, Liu Yongsheng spoke: "I think it is most suitable for you to take over." ”

Yu Minzhi didn't say anything, it was Yu Xinzhi who spoke, he waved his hands and said: "No, no, I'm not suitable, it's enough for me to track down the reason for Zhou Mingshu and their escape and where to go, I don't have the time and energy to manage military affairs." ”

Zhang Song's hand holding the teacup loosened, and then tightened.

Chen Jia, who had never spoken, spoke unexpectedly, "Madam, I recommend one." ”

Yu Minzhi smiled and said, "You haven't talked much before, how did you change your personality today, tell me, who do you want to recommend?" ”

"I recommend Zhang Jun, he is brave, strong in martial arts, and superb in the art of war." Chen Jia said with a serious face.

Zhang Song briskly put down the teacup in his hand and said with a smile: "Chen Jun has won the award!" ”

Yu Minzhi smiled and said: "Whether you win the award or not, it's not up to you, since Chen Jia recommended you, then everyone will discuss it!" ”

"I agree!" Shen You said, "Zhang Jun has the ability to do this well. ”

"I agree."

"I agree."

Yu Xinzhi and Liu Yongsheng quickly expressed their support, Song Pei was even more eager to raise his hands in approval, and Zhou Xizi also smiled, the smile was like a gardenia blooming in the afternoon, bright and bright.

"Okay, since everyone agrees, then from now on, Zhang Jun will be in charge of the military of Qingsong Valley. Congratulations to Zhang Jun, please use more heart! ”

No matter what they thought in their hearts, everyone laughed and congratulated Zhang Song.

"Thank you Madame and everyone here for your trust, I will do my best!" Zhang Song stood up and expressed his gratitude and determination to everyone.

"How about the new official, do you have anything to say to you?" Yu Minzhi said to Zhang Song with a smile.

Zhang Song hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to say his thoughts here, and also convinced everyone that he could manage the military of Qingsong Valley well.

"Since we knew that Zhou Mingshu had defected, Song Jun and I have also thought about the military issues in Qingsong Valley, and we have some ideas, so I will say them for everyone's reference now." Zhang Song said in a steady tone.

"First of all, I plan to divide the work among the people, so that everyone can do their own job, and everyone cannot be idle. For this reason, I would like to set up an organization dedicated to collecting information, called the Wind Department, and then set up an organization dedicated to the development and creation of weapons, called the Ministry of Industry, with the cooperation of these two departments, which can effectively improve the military strength of the Green Pine Valley, with the Wind Department being in charge of the merchant and the Ministry of Industry being in charge of the blacksmith. What do you think? In everyone's expectation, Zhang Song changed the result of the negotiation with Song Pei slightly and said it.

"The two ministries you have formed are very good, I approve of them, but who is the merchant?" Liu Yongsheng asked first.

"It's a merchant who came to the valley yesterday, he is literate and travels widely, and he has been to various places, so he is very suitable for collecting news." Song said.

"Is it reliable?" Yu Minzhi asked the question in everyone's mind.

"I'll give the merchant a right-hand man." Zhang Song's answer seemed unrelated.

"That's fine, an old man also needs someone to take care of him." Yu Minzhi is an understanding person.

Everyone nodded one after another, Yu Minzhi had no opinion, and naturally he would not say much.

"Otherwise, you can also arrange something for Liu Yongsheng, and let him manage the Ministry of Engineering you said is just right." Yu Minzhi said with a smile.

"The Ministry of Industry is full of technical trivialities, and major matters still need to go through me, Liu Jun is talented, but the management of the Ministry of Industry is condescending. In addition, there are many housekeeping in Qingsong Valley, and Liu Jun is the arm of my wife, so I don't dare to rob my wife of people. Zhang Song also said with a smile.

"Then forget it, I'm really indispensable to Yongsheng." Yu Minzhi said, "If Yongsheng is really pulled away by you, I will be exhausted to death." ”

Everyone laughed in unison, and Zhang Song also laughed.

When everyone's laughter stopped, Yu Minzhi said: "In addition to these, do you have any other plans?" ”

"Yes." Zhang Song affirmed, "Secondly, since ancient times, the cavalry has the strongest combat ability, and my future focus is on developing cavalry, striving for everyone in the valley to be able to achieve superb riding and archery skills, and then select outstanding people to form an elite cavalry." ”

"Cavalry needs horses and bows and arrows, horses are okay to say, this is Liangzhou, there is no shortage of horses, but what about bows and arrows?" I asked in my heart.

"The main thing that restricts the number of bows and arrows is iron, but don't worry, my lord has already found iron ore and knows how to smelt iron, as long as the Ministry of Industry is formed and there are enough manpower, we can smelt a large amount of iron ourselves." At Zhang Song's suggestion, Song Pei answered Yu Xinzhi's question.

The people present gasped after hearing this, and after reacting, they were so excited that they couldn't help themselves, and asked in unison, "Really?" ”

"Absolutely." Zhang Song said with a smile.

"Haha, God has eyes, God has eyes, and we have solved our big problem." Liu Yongsheng laughed happily, "Zhang Jun, make more new farm tools, and it is needed for spring ploughing." ”

"No problem, but I still ask Liu Jun to send some people to me during this time." Zhang Song put forward his own conditions in a timely manner.

"No problem!" Liu Yongsheng agreed very happily.

"Third, from now on, our young and middle-aged farmers in Qingsong Valley will be farmers when they are busy and soldiers when they are slack, train diligently, improve their physical fitness, and enhance their combat effectiveness, and I will make them the mainstay of Qingsong Valley!"

When Zhang Song said this, the little worry hidden in the hearts of everyone present has long disappeared, and the rest is admiration for Zhang Song.

"Okay, that's all for today, everyone will do their jobs and do their jobs well in the future." Yu Minzhi's face was full of smiles, and the tiredness on his eyebrows was gone.

And the crowd dispersed.

Song Pei walked up to Zhang Song and whispered a few words, Zhang Song thought for a while, then nodded and stopped.

"Hey, Zhang Jun, but what's the matter?" Yu Minzhi saw that Zhang Song and Song Pei still didn't leave, and asked in surprise.

Song Pei walked up to Yu Minzhi and whispered a few words.

In the end, Yu Minzhi smiled and said, "Then it's decided, you guys will come back tomorrow." ”
