Chapter 55 Revisit Jiang Cheng

"In this way, according to the sir, it is Mr. Wen who meets the same thing. Should there be a scene now?" Zhang Chi hesitated after a long time.

"It's not only a coincidence, but also a very courageous! Have you heard of his words that 'There must be a road before the car arrives at the mountain, and the boat will naturally be straight when it arrives at the bridge'?" Jiang Cheng nodded and admired.

"In this chaotic world, you should have the courage to fight and move forward bravely to achieve something?" Chen Ning asked.

"Yes, Mr. Wen is determined to be enterprising. Although he will suffer some hardships in the future, if he maintains his current caution, he will be fine." Jiang Cheng looked out the window and said leisurely.

...

The sound of horse hooves "da, da, da" gradually became clear from far to near.

"Is Mr. Jiang?" Wen Chou stood outside Jiang Chengyuan and shouted.

"But Youzhi is here in person?" Jiang Cheng laughed in a daze. He stood up again and said, "Let's go out and welcome the captain!"

Everyone in the hall hurriedly got up, got down the mat, stepped on their clogs, followed Jiang Cheng and went out to greet them.

Jiang Cheng left the door and came to the yard. Wen Chou was wearing plain clothes, stroking sweat beads on his forehead with one hand, holding the reins in the other hand, and watching the yard. When Jiang Cheng appeared, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. It was already early May, and it was the time when the clouds and wind were quiet, and it seemed a little stuffy. Therefore, Wen Chou rode his horse all the way and also had some sweat.

"Mr. Wen is here in person, and I am not welcome!" Jiang Cheng stepped forward and said. His third son Jiang Xuan had already signaled his servant to come forward and take the reins from Wen Chou's hand.

"Haha, I'm here to bother Mr. Jiang again. Please give me advice!" Wen Chou stepped on the reins, tidied up his clothes, and said. He glanced at everyone and said, "It's really advisable that Mr. Jiang has a guest in the hall."

"Haha, all of them are my disciples, so there is no need to be polite!" Jiang Cheng smiled with satisfaction and then pointed and introduced to Wen Chou one by one: "This is Chen Ningzhiming, you have known it before, right? This is Zhang Chitengyun, a native of Liu Ting;..."

Whenever Jiang Cheng introduced someone, Wen Chou nodded and bowed to show his hand. After all, these are scholars. Although they are poor scholars, they should also be given enough respect.

"I have seen Youzhi Wenjun." Zhang Chi, Chen Ning and others came forward and bowed.

"Haha, there is no need to be too polite. Now that I am here, I have to rely on all the wise men to solve my doubts!" ​​Wen Chou hurriedly bowed and returned the courtesy.

"Everyone, don't stand outside, talk in detail in the lobby!" Jiang Cheng and others exchanged greetings and said.

Everyone entered the hall with courtesy and sat in the order of the guest. Wen Chou was at the first place on the left, which was the honor of the guests. Chen Ning and Zhang Chi sat against him, and Jiang Cheng was the master, and he was respectful and sat in the middle.

"Wenjun is here this time, what's wrong?" Jiang Chengyu asked bluntly without letting go of his body while sitting in the room.

"I think Mr. Jiang has also heard that I have obtained the position of Taolin Captain. Although my family has been in the army for generations, I have insufficient experience after all and I have many doubts about the construction of the military headquarters. I will ask Mr. Jiang to solve my doubts for me." Wen Chou said respectfully.

"Where can you understand it? Let me tell you, even if you don't say it can help you solve your doubts, you can also help you." Jiang Cheng frowned. Indeed, if it is about learning Confucianism and Law, he would naturally boast about it and be able to solve your doubts for Wen Chou. If it is a military position, it is not his strength.

Jiang Cheng's disciples and students were also waiting for Wen Chou to say something curiously, thinking, what is the problem that can make "benevolent, righteous, filial piety" difficult?

"Yeah, it's the issue of food and wages..." Wen Chou's words were not finished, and everyone in the hall was conscious of it and could not think of it.

"Although the county has not distributed the food and money this time, the Taolin lieutenant has already prepared a case in the court. I think there will be some food and money in the future. You should urge it more, and this is the first one; the second one is self-reliance. After all, now the family and country are difficult, and it is impossible for each part to be taken care of. It is better to rely on others than to rely on yourself. This is the second one; grandson once said, 'Those who are good at using military troops will no longer be registered, and the food will be used for the country for less than three years. Because the food is from the enemy, the army can be sufficient for enough food.' This is the third one. If you can do enough of these three things, there will be no money or food!" Jiang Cheng pondered for a long time before he said.

Wen scandal heard the words of the scandal, and thought to himself: "I only know the three things that Mr. Jiang said, "I only know that the first one is that he cannot relax his urge to the court. The urging in the county can not only obtain part of the food and salary, but also show that Wen Chou is an official in the county dynasty and has no reputation for self-esteem; and the latter, Mr. Jiang quoted Sun Tzu's words, saying that "people who are good at using troops. The soldiers are not collected twice, and military food is not transported three times. Weapons are obtained from the country, and food and supplies are requisitioned from the enemy country, so that military food will be sufficient. This is to encourage Wen Chou to go to the mountains to suppress bandits and plunder strategic materials when the army is trained!"

"The three things that Mr. Jiang said are deeply loved by my heart!" Wen Chou thought it through and couldn't help but smile.

"Haha, sir!" Zhang Chi, Chen Ning and others also praised.

"Don't compliment me, you guys also talk about your opinions." Jiang Cheng waved his hand.

Chen Ning bowed and said, "If the army is completed, the surrounding counties and townships will not have to 'prepare bandits in autumn and winter' every year, and 'prevent thieves in spring and summer'. Therefore, on this grounds, all counties and townships can be ordered to invest one or two."

"Oh, this method is feasible. After all, if the village does not need to prepare for bandits and prevent thieves, it will definitely save some money and food!" Wen Zhaowen said with his eyes.

"But this is not a long-term solution. You should find a wealthy family as your own, or form a caravan to accumulate wealth." Zhang Chi suggested. Although he was a scholar, he was from a poor family, so he was also very interested in the way merchants make money.

"Although this method is a long-term solution, the business path is the last, and it should not be too heavy, so that many villagers pursue profits and forget the wise!" Jiang Cheng said righteously and said with a sense of blame.

"Haha, Brother Tengyun's proposal is also a good idea." Wen Chou said smoothly. He thought to himself: "What scholars, peasants, industry and commerce are the last resort in the eyes of these great scholars and great wise men. Even if the merchants have a wealth of thousands of yuan, the scholars are ashamed of their side. They will not be revealed in the future, but it is indeed true in the late Han Dynasty!"

...

Jiang Cheng's other disciples and students also expressed their opinions one by one, but they were just more detailed. Wen Chou responded to the words and expressed his opinions. As mentioned in the previous article, although these scholars were poor scholars, they were among the few people in Shahe Township who read a lot of books, so Wen Chou dared not neglect them.

"There is another thing that I want to ask you to answer. That is, the military rules and regulations are the so-called "no rules" that cannot be square or round. However, I see that the current military rules are mostly established by ancestors and have been tested for hundreds of years. They are classics, but I feel uncomfortable at the moment and don't know..." Wen Chou said again.

"Haha, the so-called military rules are nothing more than the method of restraining people from doing things. I have never studied it deeply. You should search for the classics and choose the right ones to accept them." Jiang Cheng pondered for a moment and said.

"Ah?" Wen Chou looked at Jiang Cheng in surprise, then looked at his disciples, Chen Ning and others, all of whom were powerless, and couldn't help but bow, "But it's abrupt boy. Mr. Jiang, please forgive me." The gentleman in the Han Dynasty blamed others for his difficulties.

"We can't solve my doubts for Wenjun. We have not learned enough. How can we accept your rituals from Wenjun?" Chen Ning said hurriedly.

"That's right, that's right," the others also said.

...

The hall soon finished this scene and talked again until Japan and China stopped.
Chapter completed!
