Bai Chongwen could tell at a glance where the "immigrants" came from. These people did not bring farm tools, so they were probably not farmers, but probably craftsmen who went to Yangzhou City to recruit.

"Brother Zhang!" Bai Chongwen saw Zhang Guangdao and immediately greeted him with clasped fists.

Zhang Guangdao replied: "I have met Bai Dalang."

The two chatted briefly and then left.

Zhang Guangdao went directly to see Zhu Guoxiang and talked alone in the study.

"You should no longer take the lead in the smuggling business. Just stay in the village and step up training," Zhu Guoxiang ordered. "After the spring plowing, if there is no only son in the family, all men will be sent to train village warriors."

Zhang Guangdao was overjoyed: "But..."

Zhu Guoxiang nodded: "The world is about to be in chaos, so we must be prepared."

Zhang Guangdao asked: "How many soldiers are trained?"

Zhu Guoxiang said: "Here in Daming Township, we will train 800 people first. Over there in Jintan Village, we will train 180 people. Over there in Jinzhou, we will also train 180 people. But there is no fixed number of deaths. There can be more.

It can also be less."

There are more than one or two people who feel that the world is going to be in chaos, and each has a different perspective.

For example, when Zhang Shangying passed away this year, Chen Yuan's uncle Chen Guan said to people: "Shang Ying is not a pure virtue, and his talent is sparse, but people are turning to him. Now that he is dead, people are in despair. If you look closely at the weather, current affairs, and people, you will surely

There is a change. I am afraid that even if someone has great virtues, they may not be listened to by the superiors and subordinates, and it will be difficult to help them.”

Zhang Shangying's moral character was not very good, and he had no ability, but he was popular among the people in the world. Scholars all thought that the former prime minister was very good. They believed that the person who could rectify the court and govern the country well must be Zhang Shangying.

Now that Zhang Shangying is dead, his popularity has been cut off, and no one can change the situation.

There are indeed many talented and virtuous people, but their qualifications and prestige are not enough.

Although Ju Ming was famous, he was too young and could only serve as governor of a state, without a solid foundation for governance.
