Chapter 65: On meritorious service

When Wen Chou and others came to Taolinsai, the villagers who were selected as soldiers had not yet come. To be precise, there were groups of three or five coming one after another.

Wen Chou saw that Zhang Tou, who was in charge of the food, prepared the breakfast and told him that after breakfast, the entire army gathered for the first time and led everyone to Taolin Saizhengtang.

Yu Zhengtang sat down one by one, and Wen Chou bowed and said sincerely: "It has been more than two months since March. I, Wen Chou, have the honor to work with you. Now I am the Taolin Captain. It is up to you to recruit 700 soldiers to form an army with you. I, Wen Chou, thank you here!"

When everyone heard this, they did not dare to take credit for it and said, "It is really the result of Mr. Wen, and we are just benefiting from it."

"You guys don't have to say too much, I'm sincere." Wen Chou paused and said, "I heard that the thieves were about to come. I was running around and gathering all the gentlemen. Today, I have also read the scouts, fighting against Taolin, the thief camp and other things. Is it the first merit! Can you convince me?"

Only then did everyone realize that Wen Chou wanted to reward merits and practices, and they were very excited. Some people had flushed faces, some were restless, and some were also looking around.

"Clothes!"

When Liu Zhong heard this, he stood up and came to the hall, thanked him and said, "Mr. Wen is too proud, but Zi Zheng dare not take credit."

Wen Chou waved his hand when he saw this, signaling that Liu Zhong would not have to bow down, and then said, "Just just accept it, but now Zi Zheng is already a county official, and he is busy patrolling the countryside. Therefore, I don't want you to serve in the army. Can Zi Zheng blame me?"

"How can I blame you? I am very grateful for Youzi and Baishi official. This is all your contribution to Wenjun! I am grateful for you too late!" Liu Zhong said excitedly.

"Let's talk about Mr. Dong and Mr. Tie are not from my hometown, but they do not avoid danger and lead a gentleman to help us. This is for justice! I am very moved by it. Later, I am just like my son and have made many great achievements. Moreover, the recent renovation of Taolin Pass depends on the power of the two masters! It should be the second merit!" Wen Chou said again.

Dong Jiang and Tie Qian stood up and came out to thank him.

"Although I am the leader of one army, there are only 700 soldiers in the army today. Are you willing to be the leader of the two camps?" Wen Chou asked out loud.

Tie Qian and Dong Jiang looked at each other, and were overjoyed, thanking him and saying, "Thank you for your recommendation!"

"My clan brother Wenba and his righteous brother Yan Liang, you can see his courage and achievements! Qi Huangyang, the minister of Duke Ping of Jin, used to be a judge who did not avoid revenge and did not avoid his son. I longed for him very much. Now I recommend two younger brothers to be the chief of the village. What do you think?"

"Public Ji, son is brave, his achievements are enough to be a hero." Liu Zhong, Dong Jiang and others said one after another. Although everyone didn't know what Qi Huangyang was, they knew the meaning of Wen Chou. They were also Yan Liang. The literary tyrant was indeed brave and meritorious, so they were all right.

"Thank you, brother, hehe." Wenba went out and laughed, then knelt down carelessly.

Yan Liang was much more steady than him: "I will accept the order! Thank you brother." After saying that, Liu Zhong and others bowed their hands in the court before kneeling down again.

"Very good. Our army has 700 people. There are only seven troughs. There are four troughs with their own masters. Among the three troughs, I want to build a cavalry army. I hold the position of the chief of the trough. What do you think?"

"Your merits of Wen Jun, let alone the one cavalry, even the seven cuns are trained and commanded, it is not an exaggeration!" Dong Jiang said first.

"That's right, we have no objection."

...

Wen Chou thought to himself: "I also want the entire army to train the commander, but as a rank, I still have a big burden in the village to deal with, so I have to delegate power!" Wen Chou smiled and said: "The position of the chief of the last two villages needs to be selected among the remaining lords. However, you have twelve people, how should you choose?" These twelve people were all members who followed Wen Chou into the thief camp that day, and they also supported Wen Chou very much.

When the people in the hall heard this, they whispered and discussed it, but the twelve people were as brave as the same martial arts and the same credit, and there was no result in the end. Dong Jiang also frowned and thought for a long time before saying, "Why not leave this matter for a while, and let you all lead a team of people. If you train for more than a month, the two most effective ones can serve as the chief of the garrison!"

"Well, what do you think?" Wen said scandal and thought about it for a moment, thinking about it, and then asked.

"Only Mr. Wen's order is to listen!" Everyone discussed it and said.

"Okay, this matter is decided so. The competition will be held in the middle of next month. Then we will decide the position of governor of the village! I hope you can work hard!" Wen Chou said decisively.

"promise."

...

Everyone talked again, and it was breakfast time. At this moment, Jiang Xuan and Chen Ning arrived.

Before Jiang Xuan could enter the main hall, he said, "Mr. Wen, you can ask me to find it easy!" After saying that, he touched his forehead with some regrets and thought to himself: "My father just taught me to be cautious and be cautious, why didn't I remember it?"

Jiang Xuan regrets this, but Wen Chou is not like that. When Wen Chou heard this, he hurriedly looked outside. When he saw that it was Jiang Xuan and Chen Ning, he was overjoyed and hurriedly stood up to welcome him, saying, "Haha, it's my fault. I don't want any scholars to come and look for him!" All of them were martial arts. Although they were mainly brave, there were also a large number of documents to review and many trivial matters needed to be handled by civil servants. Wen Chou had invited some scholars to serve. That time he visited Jiang Cheng, the three elders in the village, and he also pointed out the meaning of the recruitment, but the person was cold-hearted. Wen Chou thought it was his own fame and virtue, so he gave up. But now Jiang Xuan and Chen Ning came to search for him, which was already a surprise.

"Haha, Wenjun's tent is full of talents, I'm afraid I'm going to hit a wall." Jiang Xuan entered the hall and saw more than a dozen people, each holding a knife and pressing a sword, looking radiant, and couldn't help but smile.

Wen Chou welcomed Jiang Xuan and Chen Ning and went to the lobby, saying, "Jun Jiang, Chen Jun, come to find me today, what's the matter?"

"It's not for anything else, I want to get a position under Wenjun's tent." Chen Ning Gongjin said.

"Haha, I don't know if there is a vacant position?" Jiang Xuan said in the interface.

Wen Chou was surprised and looked at everyone, and was happy to see them. Of course, this was all for the joy of being able to get rid of the pain of documents in the future, and it was also for Wen Chou to be able to convince the scholars. Wen Chou immediately said happily: "Yes, of course there are, but I wonder if you two may endure the hardships of the military?"

"A real man, no matter how hard it is, it's a matter of mere military service!" Jiang Xuan said boldly, and Chen Ning nodded in agreement.

"Haha, okay, with two help me, my Taolin Military Headquarters will be built quickly to protect the country and the people!" Wen Chou held Jiang Xuan and Chen Ning's hand and said with a laugh.

"Congratulations to Wenjun for getting help from the wise man!"

"Congratulations to Wenjun..."

...

Everyone bowed and congratulated each other.

"Uh, I don't know where Wenjun wants me to wait?" Chen Ning said embarrassedly.

"Well, look at me, I'm so excited to get help from you... I don't know if the position of Shu Zuo, can Mingzhi be satisfied? Is Sima's job what Mr. Jiang wants?" Wen Chou said with his hand on his forehead.

"Shu Zuo!"

"Sima!?"

...

Wen Chou's words are amazing. This Shujiao is an important position in charge of the entire army's casework, food, grass, military affairs, etc.! If the rank is rank, it will not be too much compared to the county magistrate! The Sima position is more heavier than the Shujiao! He is the deputy position of the school lieutenant. If the school lieutenant cannot come, the entire army must obey Sima! How can such an important position not shocking?

"Mr. Wen!" Chen Ning heard this and hurriedly panicked and bowed.

"Uh, Wenjun is this..." Jiang Xuan, who had always been quick-thinking, was also shocked on the spot. He thought that he would bow down for a while. When they came, they also discussed what position Wen Chou would give them, thinking that at most it would be a garrison and a team position. He never expected that Wen Chou would say this!

Wen Chou hurriedly held the two of them and said, "Appointing two of them is not completely unconditional!"

Wen Chou's words once again attracted everyone's attention. They also made everyone feel relieved, thinking that Wen Jun would definitely not value literature too much over military affairs!

"What conditions?" Chen Ning was older, so he took the lead in reacting and asked.

"It is only temporary for the two kings to take up their important positions after a period of time. If you are not competent, I will not let you continue to take charge." Wen Chou said slowly. After a pause, Wen Chou continued: "Two kings, as scholars, I cannot take care of me, but I also need two people to popularize the words for the soldiers in the army."

"Popular text?" Jiang Xuan asked frowned. Jiang Xuan came from a famous family. Although he was not like his two brothers, he valued fame and family too much, but he still had some prejudice against ordinary Guizhou leaders.

Chen Ning came from a poor family and was an ordinary Qianshou family. He had to understand a lot, saying, "Mr. Wen, I want all the soldiers to read?"

"That is, people cannot read and read virtuous books, so they are ignorant. If these soldiers cannot read, they will be just military soldiers in their lives. At most, they are not what I want!" Wen Chou said affirmatively.

"Pa, pa, pa." Jiang Xuan slapped his hand and said, "Today I heard that Wen Jun once said, 'Set up his mind for heaven and earth, establish his destiny for the people, carry forward his unique knowledge for the past saints, and bring peace to all generations'. I forgive my ignorance. I couldn't get the full meaning at that time. Now I know a little about it and admire it!" Chen Ning also nodded in agreement.

"So, Mingzhi, do you agree with Jiang Jun?" Wen Chou said happily.

"I really want to ask for it!" Chen Ning said loudly.

"In the future, I will become a minister under the tent of King Wen. King Wen can call me my name Jinyan." Jiang Xuanyan said.

"Oh, Jinyan, Jinyan, good handwriting!" Wen Chou whispered twice and praised.

...

After talking for a while, I suddenly heard the noise outside the hall, but breakfast was ready. Everyone went to eat together, which was no problem.

ps: "Lüshi Chunqiu": Duke Ping of Jin asked Qi Huangyang, "There is no order in Nanyang, who can do it?" Qi Huangyang said, "It is okay to clear the fox." Duke Ping said, "It is not the evil of the son?" He replied, "Your question is not the evil of the minister." Duke Ping said, "Good." So he used it, and the people of the country praised it as good.
