(Thank you for the reward of "Tears Falling Red Dust 5, Ouyang Chaoye, Marykey, and Don't Stop"!) )

On the wharf of the Dengzhou Naval Division, there is a busy scene, four large ships of thousands of materials are ready to go, hundreds of boatmen and reserve soldiers of the naval division who set off with the ship are lining up in four long lines, extending from the wharf to the four large ships, and all kinds of materials that were originally piled up on the wharf are being relayed by these people, as if ants are moving, moving to the four big ships little by little.

"Bang!"

When the two adjacent soldiers on the dock handed over, one of them moved a little slower, and a wooden box more than a foot square fell to the ground, but it cracked, and hundreds of copper coins rolled to the ground in an instant.

Twenty or thirty bare-bottomed children frolicking on the dock, all of them were children of sailors, and when they saw the copper coins rolling all over the ground, they immediately ran forward, and forty or fifty little hands picked up the copper coins scattered on the ground in a short time.

There was a steward next to him, it was the old man that Ximenqing met when he first came to the Sailor Wharf that day, because he knew some carpentry work, and now he has a job at the dock, and there are more than a dozen young offspring under his hands as his apprentices, and today he was temporarily pulled over to maintain order at the wharf.

At the beginning, on this pier, Ximen Qing cut off the heads of four dock stewards in front of everyone, and it is said that they were all grabbed for evidence because they stretched out their hands on money. Speaking of which, even if such a crime is entered into the official office, at most it will be punished with a board, a certain amount of family property will be confiscated, and where can you lose your life.

However, all the soldiers of the sailor were all in the military, and their relatives and relatives had no other livelihood, so they lived on a little poor Ding Cheng, just like those proletarian homeless. For them, life is also earned a day, if God can't see it one day, no one will care, not even the government will take care of it. Therefore, in Dengzhou Sailor, Ximen Qing is undoubtedly the king of Hades who holds the power of life and death, and no one dares to question his decision.

For Ximenqing, he can arrange a livelihood for the families and relatives of these sailors, but there is an iron law, but anyone who dares to reach out to fill his own pockets will find one and kill the other.

"Quick, quick, put it back!"

The old man naturally knew that these children who were rushing to grab copper coins in front of him were the children of the water master, and at this time, the king of Hades was standing next to him, obviously afraid that these ignorant children would violate Ximenqing's rules, so he stepped forward and urged these children to put the copper coins they had picked up back into the wooden box.

"Let them go! It's all gluttonous age, a little copper money to buy some snacks! ”

Ximenqing stopped the old man with a smile, now the Sailor Wharf is already a big town, there is no shortage of shops of all kinds, these copper coins are distributed to each child's head is only a dozen yuan, although it is not much, but you can also buy a lot of snacks in the stalls along the street in the town.

"Xianggong Mansion is kind-hearted, don't kowtow and thank you!"

The old man had some prestige among the family members of the original sailor, and those children were obviously a little afraid of him, and when they heard this, they knelt on the ground one after another, but they were all shouted and stood up by Ximenqing.

"Remember, this man's knees, kneeling to the sky and kneeling to his parents, these things are not worth it!"

The twenty or thirty children are all bare-chested, although the life of the relatives of the Shui Shi is better now, but they are all afraid, they have saved a little money, and they are reluctant to spend, and now it is summer, and most of these boys are wearing old clothes worn by adults, hanging down to their knees or ankles, but there is no trace of it inside.

Where can these boys understand Ximenqing's words, they scratch their ears and cheeks one by one, and they are all ignorant.

"Scattered, scattered!"

At this time, a white-clothed scribe came over, but with a wave of his sleeves, he drove these half-grown children away, "Benefactor, these children of the Xiangjun Army, their parents and ancestors have been soldiers in the army since the beginning, and they can't read a few big characters, and it is already rare to be able to write their own names." ”

Xu Guanzhong couldn't help but think that those village children in his village were the same age as these boys, and they understood these truths.

"It seems that Mr. Dexun is running a private school here, if these military children are so deserted, it is a pity!"

Ximen Qing naturally does not expect these boys to be able to enter the Jinshi and roll call Donghuamen, at least they have to learn some basic common words and arithmetic, if their own family really expands the army in the future, the most lacking in the army is this kind of person. After all, in this era of heavy literature and military suppression, absolutely no one among those literate scholars is willing to join the military.

"Enriching its spirit and strengthening its body is the foundation of a strong army! Benefactor's policy, in less than five years, will be effective! ”

Xu Guanzhong's own family is a cultural relic, so he naturally knows the pros and cons. If the generals and officers at the grassroots level of an army can read and write, then the daily training and command of the army will have the effect of adding wings to the tiger, and the success rate will certainly be greatly increased.

A general, no matter how high his martial arts are, if he only knows how to fight in battle, he is at most a fighting general. If this general knows how to learn and think about the experience of his predecessors, combined with the practice of battle formations, even if he cannot become a commander in all aspects, he can be qualified to serve as a general of thousands of people. And as long as there are a dozen such generals, it is enough to create a strong army of 10,000 people.

Thousands of troops are easy to obtain, but one general is hard to find. It seems that in history, such immortal talents as Han Xin and Yue Fei can be met in leisure. If you want to build a truly strong army, you still need to start from the training and training of ordinary generals.

In fact, Ximen Qing also thought of sending someone to find Yue Fei, and Shi Qian's subordinates even went to Xiangzhou to search for several months, but they found it, but they were still a child. Ximen Qing was also afraid that he would ruin his life by fueling his seedlings, but in the end he still did not interfere in his life.

"Di Wuxiang had such a feat, but he ended up dying in fear, and it was really difficult to train a strong army in the Great Song Dynasty!"

Thinking of a series of national policies to guard against military generals since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, Ximenqing couldn't help but sigh. Although such measures avoided the chaotic times when the warlords of the Fifth Dynasty of the Tang Dynasty were divided and the people were not able to make a living, once a new strong nation rose in the north, how could such a Great Song military system withstand the northern iron cavalry.

"Don't worry too much, the benefactor doesn't need to worry too much, such a big Song Wentian martial arts, the ancestral system of the national dynasty has reached the point of existing in name only! This time, the boat will go south, Guan Zhong will arrange everything properly, if there is no mistake, the benefactor's worries will be solved by then! ”

"Please, sir!"

Ximen Qing bowed his hand and bowed deeply.

Set sail and set sail!

The four big ships slowly sailed out of the dock, and Xu Guanzhong stood at the bow of the leading big ship, and said goodbye to Ximen Qing who was standing on the dock.

After sending Xu Guanzhong and the southbound fleet away, Ximenqing had just left the dock when he saw a horse coming from the direction of Dengzhou City, and went straight to Ximenqing.

"Repay the public, Master Nalu has killed someone in Dengzhou City!"
