Huang Yueying and Cai Yan looked at Zhang Lang with very good eyes. Zhang Lang sighed, "Hey, actually, I don't want to do that, but what, those scholars think that I am an enemy of the Evil Demon Outer Dao, and since this is the case, I can't let them down!" ”

Huang Yueying pursed her lips and smiled. Cai Yan said with a puzzled face: "I really can't figure it out, the country is in difficulty, why can't you let people with money donate in some?" They want to oppose it! And because of this, he did not hesitate to rebel! What exactly are they for? ”

Huang Yueying glanced at Cai Yan and said with a smile: "Not everyone is as kind as Miss Cai!" ”

Cai Yan still didn't understand: "Even so, you can't rebel, right?" ”

Huang Yueying frowned slightly and said, "It's not as simple as you imagined!" For many years, the nobles enjoyed privileges, not only in land, economically, but also in officialdom. Let's talk about being an official, for hundreds of years, I don't dare to say that all of them are from the Shi clan, but at least ninety-nine out of a hundred people are from the Shi clan. ......" glanced at Zhang Lang and said half-jokingly: "However, the territory ruled by the eldest brother has changed. Whether you can be an official or not is not the birth of the scholar, but the talent of the person. Not only that, the change of land circulation policy and tax policy has made the privileges enjoyed by the scholars in other aspects no longer exist! A group that was originally high above suddenly found that all the privileges they originally had were gone, and they would naturally feel panic and resentment! Therefore, the rebellion is naturally reasonable! ”

Cai Yan frowned tightly and muttered, "Is it just for profit?" Are interests so important? ”

Huang Yueying said with a smile: "Miss Cai has a noble character, so naturally she can't understand their thoughts!" ”

Cai Yan looked at Zhang Lang and asked with some concern, "Will the scholars still rebel?" ”

Zhang Lang took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "This is not something I can manage!" ”

Cai Yan said angrily: "Aren't you worried at all?" ”

Zhang Lang and Huang Yueying exchanged a tacit look, Huang Yueying smiled: "Big brother actually follows only one rule, if you don't make trouble, it's easy to say, and if you make trouble, you will never be merciful!" ”

Cai Yan sighed, picked up the teacup, took a sip of coarse tea, and frowned slightly.

Zhang Lang took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and asked Cai Yan, "What does Mr. Cai think about the recent situation?" Cai Yan frowned and said, "Father thinks that the scholars are too selfish. Glancing at Zhang Lang, "I'm also worried that the eldest brother will launch a purge of the scholars!" ”

Zhang Lang smiled, "Don't worry about this at all!" As long as they don't make trouble for me, I won't do anything to them! ”

Cai Yan smiled bitterly. raised his head and looked at Zhang Lang in a daze. Seeing this, Zhang Lang asked with a smile, "What's wrong?" Look at me like that? Cai Yan came back to his senses, hurriedly lowered his head, blushed on his delicate face, and said in a low voice: "I'm thinking, what will happen if the eldest brother unifies the world?" ”

Zhang Lang smiled, leaned his head over, and teased: "I will definitely make you a concubine!" ”

Huang Yueying burst out laughing. Cai Yan was embarrassed, his face was as red as fire, and he didn't dare to look at Zhang Lang.

Late at night, Zhang Lang was still reading the report in the study, with a thoughtful look on his face. This is the report just received, about Cao Cao, the intelligence said that Cao Cao has built a large water village on the sea of Linzi, and the newly recruited 200,000 sailors are stepping up training. Training the water army, it seems that Cao Cao's next target is Sun Jian! That's good news!

Zhang Lang stayed in Luoyang for a while, and then went down to annex the state under the escort of the guards. After inspecting the state of Bingzhou, he finally came to Taiyuan, where the state administration is located, to inspect the local people's army. The armor is solemn, the flag is spreading, the queue is neat, and the spirit is full, and the posture is almost the same as that of the regular army under Zhang Lang! Zhang Lang was quite amazed and asked Dong Ying on the side: "Yingying, how did you train these people's troops like this?" Dong Ying glanced at Chen Gong and said with a smile: "It's not the credit of the concubine, these people's troops are all trained by Lord Chen Gong!" ”

Zhang Lang hurriedly looked at Chen Gong and said with emotion: "Gongtai, it's really not simple immediately!" Hehe, it seems that I really didn't choose the wrong person! ”

Chen Gong hugged his fists and said: "The lord praises it!" ”

Zhang Lang patted Chen Gong on the shoulder, looked at the neatly lined up Nationalist troops below, and asked Chen Gong, "How many people are there in the Nationalist Army?" ”

"Returning to the lord, there are more than 136,000 people!"

Zhang Lang was taken aback, "So many? ”

Chen Gong explained: "The people in the border area are all brave and good at fighting, in fact, there can be more! ”

Zhang Lang looked at the cavalry troops in the queue and asked, "There are still cavalry?" ”

"Back to the lord, the people in the north have a tradition of raising horses, so those who have good horses are organized into cavalry."

"How did you get the armor and ordnance?"

Chen Gong said with a smile: "Most of them are the reserves left by Yuan Shaojun in the warehouses in various places, which is enough to equip more than 200,000 troops!" ”

Zhang Lang said with a smile: "I don't think the state needs to be equipped with regular troops, just have your people's army!" ”

Chen Gong hurriedly said: "No! Without the regular army as the mainstay, these civilian armies may not be able to take on the big responsibility, after all, they are not specialized soldiers, and they have to do their own work most of the time! ”

Zhang Lang asked curiously, "I'm curious, how do you manage these people's armies?" ”

"More than 130,000 civilian troops are divided into three parts and serve in rotation for one month. All civilian troops, regardless of whether they are in service or not, must conduct military training on time! In order to facilitate the handling of emergencies, the county is managed as a unit, and there is an arsenal in the county, and if necessary, the combat forces of the whole county can be mobilized within a few days! ”

Zhang Lang nodded in satisfaction. asked: "Does the public station think that such a method can be popularized and implemented?" ”

Chen Gong thought for a moment and replied: "Xiliang Guanzhong Hanzhong is okay, Luoyang and Xichuan are afraid that there will be some problems." Because Xiliang Guanzhong and Hanzhong have been war-torn for a long time, the people are not afraid of war, they have long been accustomed to that kind of life, and they are easily accepted by militarized management, but they will be happy! Luoyang and Xichuan are different, the people of these two places have a superior life, and there are many scholars, and it is almost impossible to want them to accept militarized management! ”

Zhang Lang nodded thoughtfully.

Chen Gong hugged his fists and said: "There is no need for the lord to implement militarized management of all places, this is not good!" All you need to do is militarize it in the right places! ”

Zhang Lang smiled: "Do you know the public platform? I wanted to continue the militarized management to balance the influence of Confucianism. ”
