Chapter Ninety-Six: Zilong replied
Wen Chou fought hard for his life's ideological and political affairs and governance, and finally took a month to bring the entire Shahe Kankan on the right track.
As for the many subtleties, we need to wait for this 'official mode' to operate for a while before we can slowly discover and improve it.
In October, Wen Chou also successfully received a message from Zhao Yun.
When Zhao Yun received Wen Chou's first letter, he roughly understood Wen Chou's overture. Not to mention anything else, even Wen Chou also gave him his family martial arts for observation and reference, which is extraordinary.
People who have reached their level in martial arts will naturally not re-practice other exercises. However, if you want to go further, in addition to daily hard work and a lot of actual combat training, the best way is to collect the essence of martial arts in the world to support and improve your own martial arts. But the martial arts family, the one who doesn't sweep away his own treasure? Who would take out their own proud martial arts at will to perfect the martial arts of others?
is so you can see the sincerity of Wen Chou's move. Wen Chou's "Wen's Marksmanship" and "Wen's Swordsmanship" given to Zhao Yun, although the core part was not engraved, but most of the essence was originally reproduced.
At the same time, Wen Chou only said that he was ashamed after separation, and did not say anything about his intention to recruit, Zhao Yun thought that he knew how to advance and retreat. Moreover, it is said that "Changshan is two heroes". It is even more admired.
He immediately replied, "Wen Jun's letter has been received. To Wen Junyan, how can a contemptible person be arrogant and call himself a brother? I also hope that Wenjun will retract the words of 'Brother Zhao' and 'Foolish Brother'. In addition, I was fortunate to receive two volumes of "Spring and Autumn" and three solutions of "Sun Tzu" given by Wenjun! Looking at it, it has the effect of initiation. I bowed down. As for Wen Jun's family learning, the contemptible people are shallow and can't fully understand, and it is not appropriate to see that there are three or four things, and please ask Wen Jun to distinguish clearly, and if there is any omission, I hope Wen Jun will tell you.
In addition, I wish Wenjun to protect the township and succeed! When he needs to live in need of shelter, he will not give up.
Zhao Yunzilong bowed. ”
Zhao Yun's words were also leaky, that is, he accepted Wen Chou's praise and reassured Wen Chou's heart. pointed out "family learning", which reassured Wen Chou, he Zhao Yun is a gentleman, and he will not pass it on, but will only keep it to be mutually confirmed with his martial arts; He also said the words of "Trusteeship", but it was to let Wen Chou develop with peace of mind, and he Zhao Yun had put it into consideration.
At this time, Zhao Yun is not the blood blister general who will shock Changbanpo in the future, nor is he a veteran of Huwei who dominates Hanshui alone! It's just a true Zhao Zilong who hasn't fully learned.
In this way, Wen Chou and Zhao Yun exchanged three or four letters in the month, discussing martial arts and benevolence with each other, and they had the intention of seeing each other late. Naturally, the two of them became closer. Wen Chou was even more overjoyed, and the success rate of recruiting Zhao Yun has greatly increased, just wait for the time to slowly mature, after all, it is difficult to find a thousand troops! What's more, it's a general like Zhao Yun who has been famous for thousands of years!
In January, the house is evenly occupied. The poor scholars in each pavilion have taken up their posts, and the school-age personnel have enrolled in school. Of course, this 'study' is not free to enter, but requires each person to pay 800 yuan of "scholarship" before they can settle in and practice. During the half-year period, the "middle school" is responsible for the food consumption of the students.
As for the "primary schools" in each pavilion that are responsible for teaching children to read and write, they are much cheaper, charging only a symbolic fee of 100 yuan per person per year.
Of course, people with rich military merits do not have to pay any fees, which is Wen Chou's promise to those who serve in the army.
Even so, most of the students in the township are indigenous villagers, after all, they are still slightly richer than the homeless families in Xin'an, and some cash is available. Those Xin'an households are just able to eat enough, far from reaching the level of food and clothing, so they naturally will not spend money to pursue the ethereal way of Confucius and Mencius, the way of officials and officials, and the method of battle formation. Only those who have military merits have settled in.
In addition, the library next to the "middle school" has been officially put into operation, and 500 volumes of books have been put into storage. According to the preciousness, they are classified into different floors, and there are already scholars who have settled in and reproduced the scrolls. The library naturally has certain access rules, and it is these rules that make the villagers willing to be used by Wen Chou.
Ten volumes can be taken for half a year, thirty volumes for one year, fifty volumes for three years, and five years for any other time. When people, these are all copies. In addition, there were other forms of merit, and they also had access to the scrolls, and they all tied the village scholars to his "chariot". This made Jiang Cheng, the third old man in the township, very surprised and admired! I've lived for so long, and I've never seen this form of being used by people!
And the eight hundred new pawns of Taolin Sai, after being tempered by the old pawns for a month, are a little more powerful. At the very least, he has gotten rid of the strong rustic and peasant atmosphere when he first joined the army, and replaced it with a faint evil spirit.
This group of new pawns has also begun to take on some tasks in the township, such as a team of new pawns who came to the library to station this time. They will be stationed here for a month, after which another group of soldiers will come and replace them, and so on.
In addition, a new guard was responsible for the custody and deterrence of prisoners. and Dong Jiang's song The soldiers who combined the old and the new were responsible for the first trip of the caravan in Shahe Township.
This caravan trip was a major operation organized by Chen Ming and several wealthy families for ten years.
This caravan has about 100 people, not to mention that each of them carries a lot of money, but there are tens of millions of dollars in total! It was a caravan led by Wen Chou to the wealthy families who went to other counties to buy iron ore, castor beans and other raw materials. to cope with this cold winter and the consumption of armor.
Although some wealthy families were skeptical about whether the caravan that Wen Chou set out to establish could make money, it was not good to cool Wen Chou's face, and they invested more than 100,000 yuan to be followed by the clan. Some are very optimistic about this caravan and do not hesitate to spend huge sums of money to accompany it.
Of course, it is not only about carrying money, since it is a caravan trader, it is natural that there will be some special products to sell or barter. The items carried by this caravan were also quite complicated, and the most conspicuous thing was the cart of pears. Pears are known for their juicy and sweet taste! It is known as the snow pear. As the saying goes, "the winter brew of Zhongshan, the pear of Changshan", this "pear of Changshan" is the flat thorn snow pear!
Such a large-scale operation naturally requires the guarantee of the military department. Dong Jiang's song has a fine horseman! It is the guarantee of this trip.
In this way, the prosperous November of Shahe Township has finally begun.
Dong Jiang led people to follow the caravan. Wen Chou was naturally not idle. Because there are people who take care of everything. Wen Chou found Yan Liang and a team of cavalry, and went to various counties and townships to ask for military rations. Each county and township does not ask for much, and thousands of grains still have to be obtained. Although the amount is not much, it is better than nothing, which shows the attitude of Wen Chou to protect the township, and also abides from the remarks of outsiders that he wants to support the army and respect himself.
On this day, I came to the boundary of Daying Township, Gaoyi County. Along the way, I often saw starvation on the road, exposing the misery of the wilderness, but watching the patches of fertile fields, there are no people everywhere, and the barren grass is desolate. The cycling team couldn't help but be dull all the way.
Spotting the direction, the reins ran the horse. After about 30 miles, I finally saw a few falls, and there was faint smoke coming out, and I finally got some life. The more you go inside, the bigger and bigger the fall, the construction of the pavilion is gradually complete, and the pavilion chief, the thief dares to come forward to ask one or two, but it is very conscientious. When he heard that it was Captain Wen Chou of Taolin who was there, he was all excited and bowed to the ground.
Wen Chou beat the horse and came to the township pavilion, there were many people, quite a prosperous scene, and there was a sense of desolation seen outside! There are many people in the township, and they can't pass the market quickly. Everyone slowed down their horses and rode slowly through the city. It is also inevitable to bear the fearful gaze of the villagers. This incident is a team of brightly armored iron-blooded elite riders, and only the evil aura it exudes can affect the mood of the onlookers.
When Wen Chou and Yan Liang came to the official temple, their township Youzhi had already received the news and led people to wait at the gate of the official temple for a long time.
"I don't know that Captain Wen is here, and the subordinate officials have missed the distance, and I hope to forgive my sins." Seeing Wen Chou and the others coming, Na Youzhi bowed down first. Behind him, all the villagers also bowed down one after another.
Wen Chou hurriedly dismounted, helped him up, and said: "Many of the township officials have cases on their bodies, and the contemptible people have not come in advance, but it is not right. Don't hurry up yet, please get up. ”
"The name of Wenjun has been heard by the officials for a long time, and I am fortunate to see it today, and I live up to it!" The one stood up and complimented.
The other villagers didn't say much, and they rose up one after another. Everyone knew that this was a routine prayer, and they didn't think much about it.
The people will not speak at the gate. Without two or three sentences, Wen Chou took the lead in entering the official temple in the orderly invitation. The rest of the crowd rushed in. Only the official temple has a limited place, and the team of elite horsemen is left outside the door, accompanied by several villagers, and only Yan Liang followed Wen Chou in.
But in two or three quarters of an hour, Wen Chou, Yan Liang and Na Youzhi came out hand in hand, all of them were ruddy, and they obviously talked well, so it can be said that they took what they needed!
It turned out that Wen Chou and Na Youzhi reached the following agreement: the township can provide 20,000 stone of fine grain for the military of Taolinsai every year, and the military headquarters of Taolinsai needs to be stationed in the township to protect the safety of the township, and if the township is invaded by thieves, Taolinsai must come to the aid as soon as possible.
The original purpose of the re-establishment of Captain Taolin was to fight against the nearby Black Mountain bandits and protect the township. That Youzhi made such a request, and Wen Chou naturally agreed happily.
That Youzhi also knows the reason for the existence of the Taolin Sai Military Department, but if he doesn't supply some of his food and grass, if the thieves attack, Wen Chou only uses an excuse that he can't get out of the way and doesn't come to the rescue, where else can he go to reason? And after supplying the Taolinsai military rations, Wen Chou was naturally embarrassed to let his hometown be alone in danger! Everyone understands the principle of having short hands and eating people's mouths.
