As the magistrate of Xinfeng County, Chen Wannian has been busy recently.

I was so busy that I weighed my weight yesterday, but I actually gained three pounds again...

"You can't go to the banquet anymore..." Chen Wannian said to himself in the bronze mirror: "If this continues, your highness and Shizhong Zhang will not like it!"

As the county magistrate, Chen Wannian is now full of crisis.

because……

The people below are so capable!

Among the pavilions in various villages in Xinfeng, there are simply hidden dragons and creeping tigers!

Wang Ji, the Qiangfu in Linwei Township, was directly released by Shizhong Zhang as the magistrate of Lintong County. After only one month of his tenure, he was praised by the whole county. Both the gentry and nobles were obedient.

And there are as many as six people in Xinfeng County who are similar to Wang Ji’s ability!

Not to mention Hu Jian, Sang Jun, and Ding Yan, such powerful people with outstanding abilities in their respective fields.

On the contrary, his status and ability are becoming more and more embarrassing.

In particular, the Xinfeng system is about to expand, from one county to four counties.

Maybe in the future, I can still surpass Jingzhaoyi.

And this period of time is an extremely critical node.

As an official fan, Chen Wannian dreams of climbing up!

He doesn't want to be a laughing stock.

If it is in the future, Xinfeng will have all grown up and down, and two thousand stones will run around the ground, and the Marquis will grab it with one hand.

He is still the county magistrate.

That would be too tragic.

He knew very well that his abilities were far inferior to those elites of the Imperial Academy.

The potential is even more impossible to catch up with bugs like Wang Ji and Gong Yu.

People can never forget everything they see, and can learn from it. They have strong acceptance, eloquence, mind and ambition, are far beyond the reach of an official fan like him who only wants to be promoted.

In terms of making money and calculating accounts, he is not as good as Sang Jun and his powerful officials in the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.

Fortunately...

Looking at himself in the bronze mirror, Chen Wan said in a young voice: "Fortunately, I have always been obedient..."

This is also the only advantage he can find.

All the orders of Zhang Shizhong should be obeyed with all his strength; all the will of His Highness Changsun should be implemented with all his strength.

Don’t distinguish right from wrong, don’t think, focus on execution.

Therefore, for half a year, his status as a county magistrate and the position of the third person in Xinfeng have not moved at all.

After tying the ribbon around his waist, Chen Wannian put on his crown and hat, walked out of the door, and came to the county yard.

As soon as he arrived in the yard, Chen Wannian saw an old man with a dove stick. With the help of two young people, he came in from the main gate of the county government office tremblingly.

Suddenly, Chen Wannian's eyebrows jumped up.

For any county and township official at the grassroots level of the Han Dynasty, the most feared thing is this kind of old man with a dove stick.

Because no one can afford to offend!

Just as I was about to run away, I heard the old man's voice: "Mr. Chen, don't hide from me anymore!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Wannian smiled bitterly in disappointment, lifted up the ribbon, went forward, and bowed with a respectful disciple, "How dare you avoid senior?"

"The elder General Xu, the chief of Xinfeng (river crab), is Zhang Shizhong and His Highness Changsun, all regard the elders as their troops in the town pavilion. It is too late to welcome the subordinates, so how could they deliberately avoid the old general?"

The visitor hummed twice and said to Chen Wannian: "If this is true, that would be great!"

"County magistrate, I ask you - Xinfeng County soldiers, when will you recruit soldiers?"

"The veteran general... please come in..." Chen Wannian lowered his head and served the old man carefully: "Shizhong Zhang and His Highness Changsun are coming back soon. At that time, why don't the veteran general ask in person?"

"Well!" The old man leaned on the dove stick in his hand and stepped forward: "I am here to wait for the Shi Zhonggong and His Highness Changsun!"

Chen Wannian quickly smiled and said, "The official is waiting for the veteran general to enter the county yard to rest..."

But the old man pushed him away: "The county magistrate has his own official duties, so there is no need to waste time on me!"

"Then... the officials sent someone to serve the old general..." Chen Wannian bowed deeply, watched the old man, and with the help of his children, he walked into the side hall of Xinfeng County Government.

……………………………………

After watching the game, Zhang Yue and Liu Jin drove back to the county town.

Today, a road paved with gravel and sand has been built between Huiqu Ranch and Xinfeng County.

Therefore, the time to and from the ranch and county town has been greatly reduced.

In just one quarter of an hour, Zhang Yue and his party returned to the county government office.

As soon as he got off the car, Zhang Yue saw that at the county government gate, Chen Wannian seemed to be scratching his head and looking at something.

"Civilian Magistrate Chen..." Zhang Yue walked forward and asked, "Why are you looking around at the county government office?"

When Chen Wannian saw Zhang Yue, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Shizhong, Old General Xu is here..."

When Zhang Yue heard this, he also frowned: "Is it a matter of recruiting troops for the county soldiers?"

Chen Wannian nodded.

It happened that at this moment, Liu Jin also came over surrounded by guards, heard the conversation between the two and asked, "Is it the old general Xu in Yangli?"

Chen Wannian hurriedly bowed and said, "Report to your Highness, it is the Old General Xu in Yangli!"

"Oh..." Liu Jin listened with a solemn expression and said, "The old general came to the county government office and went to visit and pay homage!"

"Your Highness... wait..." Zhang Yue hurriedly grabbed Liu Jin and said, "I will go with you..."

Xu Rong, the three elders of Yangli, is now the most well-known and respected old man in Xinfeng.

It is not only because he is old enough, but also because he has visited the emperor, praised him and given him a canopy.

It is also because of Zhang Yue and Liu Jin's respect.

The Xinfeng policy is not only to build water conservancy, promote millet seedlings, and build workshop gardens, in order to eliminate interference and occupy the moral commanding heights.

Whenever there is any interest in Xinfeng, all the big and small matters, I will ask for advice and ask for the opinions of the three elders from all over the country.

The degree of democratization and the depth of the three elders' participation in politics and policy discussions are the best among the Han people!

It is precisely because of this that although many people criticize and attack some of Xinfeng's policies, no one dares to completely deny everything about Xinfeng.

Even the most stubborn person has to admit that "Xinfeng's elderly care, respect and respect for the elderly have a style of three generations, and the old love!"

Not to mention, Zhang Yue also asked the pavilions in each township to sign and improve village rules and regulations.

This is even more hymn.

Whether it is the modern literature school or the ancient literature school, they all think this is a good thing.

However, everything has two sides.

Just like now, the three elders in Xinfeng have become more enthusiastic about participating in county affairs than ever before.

No matter what happens, I want to express my opinions and talk about my own opinions.

Some people are easy to talk to, and the government does their work. Even if they don’t agree, they will help the government.

But some are more stubborn and difficult to convince.

For example, this old general Xu...

…………………………

Zhang Yue followed Liu Jin and entered the county government office. Under the guidance of Chen Wannian, he came to the side hall.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw the three elders of Yangli whom I met when I first came to Xinfeng for inspection. They were sitting upright in the guest room, sleeping and resting.

Hearing the footsteps, the old general opened his eyes, and immediately stood up with the help of his children, greeted Liu Jin, bowed and said, "The old minister of the mountain and field, Xu Ronggong, asked His Highness Changsun for his safety..."

"Ask Zhang Shizhong's wife..."

Liu Jin hurried forward, bowed with his disciple's courtesy and said, "Hao, please give up the gift, I will not be able to give up the gift of the general..."

Zhang Yue also said, "The old general has ruined his younger generation. How dare I call him great in front of the general?"

So, the two replaced Xu Rong's children, one left and one right, and helped the old man in the county sit down. Then Liu Jin asked kindly like a disciple: "The old general is not in Yangli, why do you come to the county government?"

"Your Highness is very loving, and the old minister is in the Wumen!" Xu Rong smiled and enjoyed this kind of treatment very much. He glanced at Zhang Yue and said, "The old minister is here to ask Zhang Shizhong when will the Xinfeng County soldiers recruit soldiers? How much does it take to recruit..."

Zhang Yue listened and quickly smiled, "Why should the old general come in person in person? Send a son and nephew to come with a letter, and the younger generation will naturally give you a reply..."

Liu Jin also said: "What Zhang Qing said is very good! The old general is very old, how can he be exhausted?"

He looked at the children of Yangli on both sides and scolded: "In the future, if the old general has something to do, you will come to Xinfeng County Government to find an orphan for the old general!"

"No!" The left and right children quickly responded with confidence.

Xu Rong laughed loudly, then stared at Zhang Yue and asked, "Zhang Shizhong, my old question, Shizhong Gong has not answered it yet!"

Zhang Yue felt a headache when he listened.

This old general is good at everything, just his mind is full of militarism and interests.

Since the news of Xinfeng's reorganization of county soldiers spread, the veteran general has recommended his soldiers from the Dongyu Society to Zhang Yue repeatedly.

He said, "There are 300 children of the Dongyu Society, and I am willing to serve the minister!".

The children of Dongyu Society, especially Yangli, have no choice but to say about their physical and tactical qualities. But the county soldiers in Xinfeng were only one Sima's organization in total.

All young people from Duyu Society, Linwei Township, Xinfeng Township and Li Township have definitely had opinions!

After thinking about it for a moment, Zhang Yue bowed to Xu Rong and said, "The old general has been fighting for decades and has been on the battlefield for a long time. He must have known that since ancient times, the new army has defeated the old army, and the new law has defeated the old law!"

"Wu Zi was appointed as the leader of the Wu army, but when he met the fierce soldiers of Shang Jun, he would be defeated thousands of miles..."

"Zhao Wuling King Zhao's Hu clothing and cavalry shooting, Zhao's light cavalry was for a while, but was defeated by Bai Qi. In the Battle of Changping, 400,000 Zhao troops were defeated in one battle..."

"The old ones, the Xiongnu Jizhou clan, led the beasts to eat people, controlled 400,000 strings, and defeated the heroes of the world, making Emperor Gaozu feel ashamed of Pingcheng, Empress Lü was humiliated by the Book of Jue, and Changping Liehou, the champion of Marquis Jing Heng, swept across the south with a powerful crossbow and sharp sword, and made the Huns shrink to the north of the north of the temple and survive..."

"However, in the past twenty years, under the planning of the rebel ministers Zhao Xin, Wei Lu and others, the Huns used Han techniques to train troops and used Han swords as weapons, and their combat power increased greatly! The king's army was unable to win, defeated, and destroyed..."

"Therefore, I think that if China wants to defeat the Huns again, it will use a new army!"

Xu Rong listened and nodded, "The words of the minister are very consistent with the military tactics!"

"But... I dare to ask, what kind of tactics do the new army of the Shizhong want to use?"

"Of course, it is to defeat the barbarians' shortcomings with China's strengths..." Zhang Yue whispered: "My younger generation, I plan to equip the cavalry with a kind of cavalry that can be opened on the horse..."

Anyway, this matter cannot be hidden from anyone.

When the county soldiers in Xinfeng start training, everyone will know what kind of army it is?

Therefore, Zhang Yue did not hide his own personal information and said, "The poem says: The horned bow is a graceful reversal. The previous king made a bow, and there are lengths and shorts. The shorter ones are horned bows! The younger generation is not talented, and they plan to develop a bow with a long range and strong penetration based on the horned bow of the previous king..."

Xu Rong listened and asked, "Shizhong Gong, it's not me who poured cold water on me..."

"No one in a hundred people can draw bows on the horse's back!"

"Even if it is the Huns, only the Legend of the Condor Heroes can master this skill!"

"Times change!" Zhang Yue chuckled: "It doesn't mean it's impossible now, and it doesn't mean it's impossible in the future!"

Xu Rong listened and immediately knew that the country might have broken through a certain technology and obtained new equipment to meet the needs of horseback shooting.

Thinking of this, he immediately became interested and asked, "How many soldiers are you planning to recruit in the new army of the Shizhong?"

"The number of soldiers recruited will not be mentioned for the time being..." Zhang Yue said: "The veteran general must also know that soldiers are more important than elites!"

"My younger generation plans to train the new army based on the system of the six captains of the Northern Army..."

"So, the requirements for soldiers are relatively high..."

"Height is not less than seven feet and three inches, weight is not less than two hundred and forty kilograms, and can drive three stone bows at least ten times... In addition, you have to know literacy and do arithmetic..."

Xu Rong heard this, but widened his eyes and asked, "Six Captains of the Northern Army?"

Zhang Yue nodded: "The Sixth Captain of the Northern Army!"

Liu Jin listened beside him, a little suspicious, and asked, "Zhang Qing, what are the special systems of the six captains of the Northern Army?"

"Your Highness..." Zhang Yue looked at Liu Jin and explained: "In my opinion, the system and organizational design of the six captains of the Northern Army can be regarded as the peak of the development of China's military system since Sun Wu!"

"It's almost perfect, and your Majesty's design is jaw-dropping!"

"Your Highness should know that since Yuanguang, the six captains of the Northern Army have been ordered to go out to fight in great battles..."

Liu Jin nodded: "I know that since Yuanguang, the country has been using troops. If there is a great battle, one or more of the six lieutenants will be sent to the expedition!"

"But, what's strange about this?"

In the eyes of the world, the famous reputation of the six captains of the Northern Army is naturally familiar, but few people know why these six captains have made their reputation and style!

Why are these imperial guards more glorious on the battlefield than those field standing troops on the frontiers?

"Your Highness probably doesn't know that the six captains of the Northern Army often have only two thousand people..." Zhang Yue said softly: "And once he is ordered to go to the battlefield, he often becomes an army of ten thousand or even tens of thousands..."

Liu Jin looked at Zhang Yue incrediblely: "What happened?"

"It's true!" Zhang Yue bowed.

Xu Rong also said: "That's true!"

"In my opinion, the system used by the six captains of the Northern Army should be called: the invisible army..."

"We usually have two thousand people, strengthen training on a daily basis, and train soldiers as officers..."

"Once something happens, it can be expanded several times, or even ten times in an instant!"
