Chapter 90: Ma Yuanyi
General Duliao's station is still some distance from Wuyuan County, and Su Chen and his party are ready to go to the old mansion to settle down first, wash the dust on their bodies, and set off on the road again tomorrow. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Knowing that the master of the Su family has returned, the original Su Mansion began to be busy and cleaning, and Uncle Su, the father of Su Quan, was waiting outside the city gate early today, and as soon as the group appeared, they hit their horses to meet them. Childe, you are back, the house has been cleaned up, and you will rest here for the night, and go to see the master tomorrow. Looking at the mighty young man in front of him, Uncle Su was very relieved, he watched Su Chen grow up, but he didn't expect that he had grown up now and provoked the pillar of the family.
Uncle Su is Su Quan's father, and the old mansion in Wuyuan County has been guarded by him, although there are still some original industries here, they are all operated by several shopkeepers to maintain the living expenses of the whole house. The Su family's current life has been taken over by the Wuyuan Chamber of Commerce, and many of the original shopkeepers have also entered the Chamber of Commerce.
Seeing a large group of people outside the city gate to greet him, Su Chen dismounted and asked, "Uncle, why are you so excited?" These unfamiliar faces don't seem to have an impression, and I wonder if the old man can introduce them. ”
Most of the people who followed Uncle Su were the new children of the Su family who had grown up this year, to put it bluntly, they were born in the family, these people worshipped him very much, and when they heard that the son was coming home, they were all very excited, and they came to greet him in majestic clothes.
Most of the fathers of these families are in charge of the Su family's fields, and they are not far from accepting their father's position, although most of the hundreds of private soldiers who followed him were killed in battle, but almost half of the survivors have become generals in the army, and the youngest military rank is a hundred generals, and some outstanding ones have already achieved Sima and Du Lieutenant.
Even those who died on the battlefield, their fathers have received extremely high honors and become the heads of some industries of the Su family.
Fame but by virtue of immediate, in the advocating brave man, good men all hope to fight on the battlefield, for their parents, for their children and grandchildren, for themselves, to win a piece of glory.
"Uncle, as far as I know, haven't all the children of the family been sent to Taihang Academy over the years, why are there so many young juniors in the family?"
Su Chen attaches great importance to the cultivation of younger generations, in his opinion, these children are loyal, if they can read and write, and have a skill, no matter where they are in the future, they can help the family, so all the younger generations of the right age have been sent to Taihang Academy to study.
The old man replied with a sigh when he heard this: "Childe doesn't know, they have been studying in the academy for two years, but it is really not the material for reading, one by one can't stand the rules of the academy, so he simply dropped out of school, and followed the original disabled students to learn some fur kung fu, dancing knives and guns all day long, all of them are very ambitious, no, I heard that Childe is going home, and they have long been eager to be selected by Childe, become a pro-soldier, and follow Childe to establish a career." ”
"Oh?" He was not surprised that these people could not stay in the academy, but he did not expect that those disabled soldiers who were placed would still be able to exert their residual heat, and he had never increased a single soldier over the years, striving for the policy of elite soldiers, and to this day, after three years, it has been fruitful.
But he also knows that once on the battlefield, casualties are inevitable, and the army must inject fresh blood, if it is a soldier who has not received training at all, and is called into the army, it will inevitably greatly weaken the combat effectiveness of the army, which is not in line with his original intention of streamlining the army, so the training of this reserve army is particularly important.
However, if these reserve troops are trained according to normal soldiers, it is contrary to the strategy of elite soldiers, and even if they are trained as auxiliary troops, it is also too expensive, which has always been a problem for him.
The role of the auxiliary army is mainly to transport grain, grass and baggage, and assist the regular soldiers in combat, with only a small amount of training, let alone equipment or something, almost a star and a half stronger than the people.
Uncle Su's words lingered in his ears, and it seemed that he saw a different way, if he could train the countryside to become a militia, work as a farmer in his spare time, and serve as a soldier in wartime, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds, and it would be more conducive to the rule of the territory under his rule.
Different from the Tuntian soldiers, the Tuntian soldiers are still soldiers in the final analysis, they are soldiers who are specially concentrated by the government for production and labor, and according to the management of the army system, these people will also be trained during the slack time, but in essence they still belong to soldiers, not ordinary peasants, and their actions are strictly restricted by discipline.
"That's right, the government military system!"
At this time, a term suddenly popped up in his mind, the government military system, which established the conscription system of the Tang Dynasty, seemed to be more advanced than the current conscription system.
The most important feature of this system is the integration of soldiers and peasants. In peacetime, the government soldiers were farmers who cultivated the land, trained in agricultural gaps, and fought in the army in wartime. The government soldiers are equipped with their own weapons and horses to participate in the war, and there are Zhichong prefectures responsible for the selection and training of government soldiers throughout the country.
Therefore, if we really want to establish a complete system of government soldiers, the root cause of the problem must still fall on the land issue, and only by implementing the system of equalizing land, distributing land according to the population, and avoiding land annexation, can the government and military system have room for survival.
The idea is very beautiful, but at this moment, he can't do it, but a thought is born in his mind, maybe this will become the foundation of his future foothold in the world and compete for people's power.
Su Chen's return to his hometown caused a huge sensation, as the saying goes, wealth does not return to the hometown, such as brocade clothes at night, he is the pride of the entire Wuyuan County, he entered the city, he received the onlookers of the people in the city, when he learned that the young man riding on the horse was the famous Su Poyu, everyone let out a shocking roar.
"That's how a husband should be!"
"If you don't know Su Poyu, it's useless to call yourself a hero."
"What a Su Poyu, what a Su family, time, luck!"
Just when the people were embracing Su Chen, on the top floor of the Su family restaurant, two people stood side by side, looking at the young people in the middle of the street, one of them smiled and said: "How about it, Yuanyi, now you can see the influence of Su Hou Ye, as long as he can join us in Taiping Dao, it will be a help for the master." ”
The Taoist priest known as Yuanyi is Ma Yuanyi, a disciple of Taiping Daojiao, who has a very high status in the sect, Ma Yuanyi nodded, and suddenly said: "No wonder Senior Brother persuaded General Su to join the sect, as long as Su Wenlong entered my sect, then it would be much easier for him to persuade his son, but how can Senior Brother guarantee that Su Wenlong will definitely agree?" ”
Ma Yuanyi's senior brother seemed to be confident, looked at Su Chen who was being embraced on horseback, and replied casually: "Yuanyi doesn't have to worry, Su Wenlong has to agree, and if he doesn't agree, he has to agree, since his son is back, it will be easier for Poor Dao to deal with him." ”
After that, the man stopped talking, but he thought in his heart: once the tiger leaves his woodland and enters Binh Duong, it will no longer be a tiger, at most it will become a big cat, it is not easy to deal with a tiger, but it seems to be much more convenient to deal with a big cat.
"If my junior sister knew the news, she would be very happy, right?" Thinking of the junior sister who never smiled, when he heard that he was going to deal with the Su family on this trip, he actually gave him a smile for the first time, thinking of that charming smile, he felt that it was worth it even if he died immediately.
When I returned to the old house and saw the familiar place, whether it was Ying'er, the former little maid, or Su Chen, they all felt a lot of emotion, thinking that it was here that the Cui family came to retreat, and he was almost forced into a corner, bottoming out, step by step, to get to where he is today.
Many times, he asked himself, is what he is doing is really in line with his heart?
The answer, of course, is no, if you want to survive in this upcoming troubled world, you can't have illusions, you have to throw away all unrealistic things, and the waves are sweeping the sand, only in this way can you be the one who has the last laugh.
Those who have become great entrepreneurs are ruthless to others, and they must be even more ruthless to themselves.
Cai Yan came to the Su family's old house for the first time, Su Chen took his wife to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors of the Su family, this is not a year, so it is just a small sacrifice, there is no need to move the people, just prepare daily sacrifices.
"The ancestors of the Su family are on top, and the unfilial son Su Chen and his wife worship the ancestors and ancestors today, hoping that the ancestors will protect ......"
After sacrificing to the ancestral hall, he returned to his original room, Ying'er had already packed everything, and the familiar environment could always evoke people's memories.
That night, he asked the old man to summon all the young juniors at home to the lobby and encouraged them, but he didn't take anyone away, only let them live at home, honor their parents, practice their skills, and have opportunities in the future.
With his assurance, the juniors of the side branches of the Su family were gearing up and excited. They came to plan to go on the road early tomorrow morning, but I heard that he had returned, and from the Wuyuan County Order to the major families, they all sent people to send a prayer post.
The county order is a descendant of the Cao family, this face has to be given, and those who send the worship post are also the elders of the major families of the Wuyuan Chamber of Commerce, and this face has to be given, so he can't leave early tomorrow morning, and he has to wait until the day after tomorrow at the earliest.
The old man knew some of the news from his father, and he also went to Su Wu to give the original news, so he was going to understand the situation first.
"Childe, the situation there is unknown, but I heard that there are many Yellow Turban Taoists who go to the lord's mansion every day, and ten days ago, the lord no longer showed up, and even the dog didn't see the lord, so he wrote to tell the old man about the situation there, and the old man was also afraid that something would happen, so he wrote to Brother Su and asked him to transfer it to the son."
"Well, so-and-so got it."
It seems that this matter is inseparable from the Yellow Turban Taoist, but I am afraid that it will be complicated.
He didn't get much information from the old man, the more this was the case, the more strange he felt, knowing that this matter could not be delayed, as a last resort, he took Dian Wei and a hundred tiger guards straight to the Duliao General's Mansion in the starry night.
As for his wife, he stayed in the old house, after all, how could he rush at night with his family, but it was his negligence that was seized by the enemy, and almost caused the bitter fruit of remorse, making him regret it for the rest of his life.
