Chapter 384 The Three Guards of the Canal

In essence, Changcheng is just the prototype of the Ming Dynasty commercial capitalist. This prototype is not so mature, mixed with a lot of messy things, but it is already valuable. Chen Xie can open his mouth to make more profits, but he didn't do that. Why? He burned his hands with more money? Of course not. Chen Xie's purpose is very simple to cultivate this grassroots.

Merchants are rich but have no social status. If Chen Xie sends a signal, Governor Chen likes merchants, what influence will this be? To put it bluntly, even if Chen Xie wants to be king in Shandong, it is not impossible.

The 100,000 taels of silver deducted from Chang Cheng were directly asked to send him the branch of the Dafa Money House in the capital as the first installment of the debts in Shandong. Give the emperor some sweetness so that he would not beg for food all day long and stare at Shandong.

A carriage walked into the large yard through the back door, and Chang Cheng persuaded and educated the two little loli with great sincerity: "Welcome well, the rise and fall of the Chang family depends on you. In the past, many people sent women to Mr. Chen, but they were rejected by Mr. Chen. This is the first time you must seize this opportunity, get the master's favor, and give the Chang family a century-old foundation..."

The girls of this era are so miserable. Nothing in the future is in their own control. At a young age, they have to be sent out by their family and handed it to a certain beast named Chen. It seems that Mr. Chen looks down on them and refuses to harm them. Instead, they are their fault. Two thirteen-year-old little loli, one named Chang Zhi and the other named Chang Lan, the name comes from their father when he was a scholar in high school. When he was named, he shook his head proudly: "An Zhitinglan". As a result, this father struggled for ten years but failed to get promoted. Then he fell ill and his family fell into trouble. Chang Cheng, a capitalist with a conscience, appeared as a savior, under the banner of taking care of his family, gave money and food, and sought medical treatment. Finally, he saw the dad of the two sisters that the world is too chaotic now, and there are bandits everywhere. He has to find a good family for the two sisters and find a good support for the Chang family in the future.

If it was for another family, the father who was a scholar would naturally not agree. However, I heard that it was for Chen Xie, the big vassal state. The father of the sisters was surprised and healed a lot. He repeatedly asked him to do so. He must make this happen.

Every scholar has a wish in his heart. He relies on fame and fortune to be an official. Since there is no way to the imperial examination, then think about other ways. So this opportunity is very important and you must seize it. If they are not sick, their fathers will come with them.

The two little girls were quite pitiful. When they arrived in Jinan, they were entrusted by Chang Cheng to train for a while. Then they dared to send them to Chen Xie, otherwise they would not know anything, and they would make the master unhappy, and good things turned into bad things. The Chang family would be in trouble.

In order to curry favor with Ying Niang, Chang Cheng took out 10% of the dividends of the Shanxi semicolon, which is so shameless.

When the study was smoky, there were probably a group of military generals, and they were both at home and abroad. Except for Wang Qinian, who was in charge of Feng and Lushun, Chang Shiren had not arrived, and other important people had arrived. The earliest group of servants were now mixed instructors. The characteristic of these people is that their cultural qualities are not good. Under Chen Xie's command, they are at a disadvantage if they have no cultural level. This is why Su Haochen, Chang Shiren, Li Yuncong, Lin Ya, Weng Zhengqing, and Wang Ben crawled faster, which is that they read more.

"Zhongcheng, the newly appointed recruits, a total of 100 reinforcements, with nearly 30,000. It is enough to replace the canal garrison along the canal. The problem is that the literacy rate of these recruits is too low. Jinan is not as good as Dengzhou. People who have read books and recognize some words are unwilling to join the army." Wang Ben was quite distressed when he spoke, and illiterate learning is slow. This group of recruits really made him feel troubled. He would rather fight Jiannu than lead the new recruits. It was so painful!

"Isn't there a night school literacy class in the recruit training camp? Isn't it good?" Chen Xie was also very depressed. The Ming Dynasty had a population shortage. Building a modern army not only had a large population to solve the problem. If you are a literate soldier, it would be almost done after three months of training. The illiterate soldier is actually not a big problem, but it would be too difficult to train a group of capable grassroots officers from it. Taizu's way of learning war in war and training teams in war is actually quite practical in the Ming Dynasty. The question is, who will fight with?

"The effect is very average, and there is this problem in the B-Bank. Now the officers of each unit are supported by graduates from the Jiadu Academy. It is not a problem for these illiterate soldiers to endure hardships. If they are allowed to read, it would be a waste of time." Su Haochen also took the conversation helplessly. He seemed to have been worried about this matter a lot.

Chen Xie thought about it and said, "This problem must be improved. In the future, every combat unit at the first level of the team will be equipped with two cultural instructors. The matter of literacy is consciously and voluntarily. If you learn well, you should encourage and give material rewards. Don't underestimate this. Whether a soldier has culture or not is still very different. The matter of organizing a literacy class in the army is an important project for the entire army in the future. We must form a trend of loving learning culture in the army. We do not require soldiers to learn a scholar, be able to roughly understand the writing and barely write. Chen Xie started his career with Dengzhou Camp. Everyone should see that once the army forms this trend, it will not affect one or two people in the future, but a generation. After these soldiers retire, they will definitely have an impact on their children."

Wanyu was brushing the records while browsing. She didn't care about smoking second-hand smoke among a group of men. Chen Xie thought about this, and after saying a paragraph, he put out the cigarettes and said lightly: "I have all put out the cigarettes. In the future, when there is a opposite sex in public, I am not allowed to smoke. This article is written into the military rules." In fact, the introduction of this article is useless. These men have no chance to encounter women in public. Only Chen Xie can use this article.

When Su Haochen saw Chen Xie's eyes, he immediately understood: "The remediation of the canal transportation garages must naturally start with the rule of Shandong. There are two in the canal, two in Shandong, and one in Zhili in Nanzhili. Considering the overlapping jurisdiction, don't stimulate Zhang Zhongcheng. The only thing we need to rectify is Pingshan Guard and Rencheng Guard. The commander of the Shandong Metropolitan Commander, Zhongcheng heard that. Rencheng Guard can only go there personally. If others go there, they will not be able to control the venue. Beizhi goes to Dongchang Mansion, and under the banner of Zhongcheng, you can scare people. There is also a Dahe Guard in Huai'an Mansion, so I can only ignore it for the time being."

Chen Xie nodded and said lightly: "Ben Xian has been in office for more than half a year. He has been busy training troops. He has not taken care of local affairs and does not intend to take care of them. Just let them fend for themselves. There is an excuse to deal with them when there is a chaos. I will not repeat the importance of the canal transportation here. Ben Xian personally led 10,000 new recruits to Yanzhou and took them to the field to train. Su Haochen, you will understand what to do if you take 10,000 new recruits to Dongchang Prefecture. Those who are tactful will give you a way to live, those who are not tactful will let the bayonet speak. Dengzhou Camp has this rule, and there is not so much spitting to waste. Now it is still necessary to prepare and wait for the order after you go back."

The military meeting was over, and it was already past ten o'clock at night. Chen Xie returned to his backyard residence, where there were only two women with status, Gu Xi and Ying Niang. The two women had their own careers, and were busy outside during the day and came back only to dark. At this moment, I am afraid that they were all busy with their own affairs, so Chen Xie would not disturb him.

Walking towards the yard to the east of the large yard in the middle, this place should be where the wife of the main wife is occupied. Isn’t this true wife? At the entrance of the yard, Ying Niang stepped forward to greet him and said, “Master, the two girls from the Chang family are waiting for you in the yard behind. Do you want to go and have a look?”

Chen Xie nodded and said, "What do you think?" Ying Niang smiled and said, "I don't think it's important, but you have to look at it."

Chen Xie shook his head: "Even if he looks like Wu Yan Lao's mother, he has to keep them. I have to act like this and show some people. You can bring them." Chen Xie now has two old nests, one is the old nest in Zhangjiazhuang, and the territory is Yuzhu and Yu Xun. Ying Niang is not easy to reach out. In Jinan, Ying Niang is naturally not polite, she is the arrangement of the whole thing. She has told Chen Xie that she will do it only after she has acquiesced approval.

When women get older, they will be suspicious, and when they become old, they are worried about their status. Chen Xie is more tolerant of his mother, and she has a great role. Not only is the intelligence department in charge, but also Yuanzhong, now the Jinyiwei Qianhu is in Nanjing.

The two little girls sat side by side on the bed, leaning against each other's shoulders and dozing off. They are not old, so this is the time to grow up. It is normal for them to be a little sleepy. When Ying Niang came in, they opened their eyes together, saw clearly the appearance of the visitor, and immediately stood and lowered their heads and said, "I have met Aunt Yuan, Chang Zhi (Chang Lan).

Chen Xie sat in a chair with a big golden sword, squinted his eyes and thought about it. The things in the backyard were so complicated. Chen Xie didn't want to think too much. Ying Niang could take care of it, but Chen Xie was eager to do so. Things like freedom and liberation seemed to have no market in the Ming Dynasty. He held a book called "Records of the Grand Historian" in his hand and pretended to be a cultural person. In fact, Chen Xie did read it again. The greatest pleasure of reading historical books is to look at human nature. Things recorded in history are things from the past, but they are things from the present and things from the future. It is just a matter of repeating them all. In the final analysis, the protagonists of history are human nature and interests. If you don't understand this, it will be useless to read even if you are familiar with history.

Ying Niang led two girls who were only about 1.5 meters away from her son. Chen Xie looked up and saw that she was dressed in a relatively standard Ming Dynasty, with her skirt on her body and tied her hair bun. He followed Ying Niang to the front and said good fortune: "I have met the master in my family."

"Raise your head!" Chen Xie has now completely entered the role, and there is no psychological pressure to say such words. (To be continued...)
