Jiang Hong returned to Sheyang, and the first thing he did when he took office was to let Chen Zhi expand the army to 1,500 people, filling the original 1,200 people in Sheyang, and the rest of the people were all raised in the name of private soldiers.

"My lord, this is the Zhou family's property in Sheyang, and it has all been confiscated." Huang Yuan took a booklet and reported to Jiang Hong.

Confiscate? Jiang Hongleng for a moment, this food is too ugly, but I like it, whether he is ugly or not, let's eat it until my stomach first.

"Our army suffered more than 300 casualties, most of them were temporarily conscripted militia and clan soldiers, killed more than 600 thieves, captured more than 200 people, and a number of heavy grain and grass, in addition, there was a large share of vacancies in the army's weapons, bows, arrows and armor." Huang Yuan reported to Jiang Hong on a fifteen-day basis.

"Yes, well done." Jiang Hong touched his chin, "By the way, those people who have been demolished and used as materials to defend the city, send people to help them build new houses as soon as possible, and give compensation as appropriate, now our identities are different, and we must take into account the overall situation in doing things, and we can't be the same as before." ”

"No." Huang Yuan replied.

"Also, after a while, when this matter cools down, create an accident, and deal with the rest of the Zhou family, I don't want to be found out, pay attention to be clean, don't be involved, you know?" Jiang Hong commanded.

"No." Huang Yuan replied solemnly.

"Alright, my county lord." Jiang Hong walked down and patted Huang Yuan on the shoulder, "It's all old brothers, don't be so formulaic in private." ”

Huang Yuan said with a wry smile, pulled the official uniform on his body and said:

"This, I used to wear military uniforms before, but now when I wear official uniforms, I always feel lame, and I always feel that people have to become much more serious."

"Haha." Jiang Hong looked at Huang Yuandao, who was officially transferred to a civil official, with a smile, "It will be fine after a while, and besides, you are now in a county and have a lot of official business, so don't be busy with these things as the overseer Qinglou, leave it to Kou Bai, and see how capable he is by the way." ”

"Well, leave it to your subordinates."

"By the way, call Chen Zhi in." Jiang Hong said.

After a while, the new county lieutenant Chen Zhi walked in, and as soon as Jiang Hong took office, he purged dissidents and replaced all important positions in the county with his own people, but most of his hands were big and coarse, and he didn't know if there would be chaos if he was forced in.

Chen Zhi is also 17 years old this year, wearing a bright silver armor, with a heroic appearance, plus Jiang Hong has always let Chen Zhi read military books well, and he also has a bit of elegant temperament. Kindness... A weakened version of Zhao Yun.

"Your Excellency." Chen Zhi knelt on the ground and said with his fists clenched.

After talking about how to be promoted, these two were consciously formulaic, Jiang Hong glanced at Huang Yuan who was standing aside, but with the improvement of his identity, this is also inevitable, and Jiang Hong just complained a little.

"How's the newly-called soldier? Jiang Hong asked.

"The soldiers have not yet been recruited, but they have already started to recruit with all their might, but the newly recruited soldiers are very short of weapons and armor, and lack of training, and it will take a long time to form combat effectiveness." Chen Zhi replied.

"You don't have to worry about armor and the like, I'll solve these problems for you, you just need to recruit new pawns now, step up training, and those prisoners, and release them into the army for me, although we have a lot of men shooting the sun now, we can't dry up and fish, right?"

"These captives have not lost their spirit, give me a hard drill, I don't want a mouse to spoil a pot of soup, a year later, I want to see a strong army, can I do it?"

"The subordinates will live up to the trust of the adults." Chen Zhi replied loudly.

"Alright, don't kneel." Jiang Hong kicked Chen Dao, who was still half-kneeling on the ground.

"Hey, hey." Chen Zhi touched the back of his head embarrassedly, and said a little shyly, "Brother Jiang, my actions just now were not bad." ”

"Something like that." Jiang Hong commented.

"Give me good training, practice martial arts, and in a few years, there will be a time for you to show your talents." Jiang Hong hammered Chen Zhi's chest with a small fist.

"My lord, is there really chaos in this world?" Huang Yuan, who was standing on the side, asked.

It's no wonder that they don't realize it, most people in the world are still looking forward to Emperor Han Ling's actions after the extermination of the Yellow Turban, and to revive the Han Dynasty again, but what Emperor Han Ling is doing now is not like wanting to prosper.

"Today, the saint ignores the government and politics, the eunuchs and relatives of the court and the central government are in charge, the family has done nothing, those pedantic old men are dead and occupy the position, and the capable newcomers have no future, the world is bound to be chaotic for a while, and then it is the time for us to show our skills and support the Han family."

At this time, the people's hearts are still towards the Han, even if Jiang Hong has great ambitions in his heart, he has to pinch his nose and say that he is loyal to the Han Dynasty, whether it is a large-scale expansion of the army or a division of one side, everything is for the purpose of supporting the Han family.

"Okay, don't think so much if you don't understand, just listen to me." Jiang Hong saw that the two of them still looked suspicious, "Also, I don't want a fourth person to know what I said just now, understand?" ”

Huang Yuan and Chen Zhi both nodded in agreement, not understanding Jiang Hong's intentions, but not hindering them from carrying out Jiang Hong's orders.

Looking at the two people who were far away, Jiang Hong rubbed his somewhat stiff face.

"The military side can be left alone for the time being, nothing should happen in the future, what to do now is political affairs and money, en~~~" Jiang Hong read in his heart.

"If you want to make money, according to the experience of your predecessors, it is nothing more than winemaking, or distilled spirits, as well as roasting tea, exclusive furniture or something." Jiang Hong said secretly.

Distilled liquor, to be honest, Jiang Hong only knew such a thing, how to get Jiang Hong said that he knew nine out of ten and didn't know anything, but it didn't prevent Jiang Hong from using the only remaining little high school chemistry knowledge to try.

Isn't it that the boiling point of wine is lower than that of water, distillation, it seems to use a beaker, a condenser tube or something, and it seems that there is a horn tube, this Jiang Hong has a deep memory, and he has been deducted several times by the high school chemistry teacher, and he can't believe it if he tries a few more times.

Just do it, Jiang Hong led people to the blacksmith shop in the city, and the blacksmith was frightened when he saw that the county magistrate had brought people to his shop, and he thought that he had committed something, but after Jiang Hong's explanation, the blacksmith settled down.

"I'm going to make an iron object that looks like an umbrella, with the edge turned upwards to hold water." Jiang Hong gestured for a while before he understood what kind of novelty the county magistrate was going to make.

"Also, there is an iron bucket, the diameter is smaller than the iron tool I just mentioned, the diameter, do you know what the diameter is?" Jiang Hong asked.

Seeing the blacksmith's blank face, Jiang Hong gestured for a long time, and the blacksmith nodded as if he didn't understand.

"As for the iron bucket, there should be a circular groove on the top, that is, the kind that can catch water, and I want to make sure that the water dripping from the umbrella can be caught by this groove." Looking at the blacksmith's blank face, Jiang Hong shook his head with a headache, this is still a little difficult to describe.

"Forget it, I'll stay here, you do it first, I'll guide and fix it." In the end, Jiang Hong, who had wasted half a day of saliva, said helplessly.
