Chapter 064 A Simple Sentence
Zhao Yulin suggested that Chen Chen should follow Ma Ling as the Inspector. Ma Ling would need to rest soon anyway, so it would be a good idea to have a helper.
Ma Ling immediately walked over with a smile and pulled Chen Chen over to talk.
After Zhao Yulin sorted out his family affairs, he headed to the academy to have tea with Mr. Zhang.
Zhang Xiangyang no longer teaches classes and has become the full-time president of the academy, tinkering with the Cuiping Morning Post.
After taking two sips of tea, Zhao Yulin told him about Chen Xiaomin's worries after Ma Ling became pregnant, and hoped that the old man could help to enlighten her. He certainly didn't want to see the palace drama in his own backyard.
The old gentleman smiled and said that he was preparing for a rainy day, but there was indeed a voice saying that he had the potential to be an emperor, and at the very least he would become a wealthy family.
Zhao Yulin laughed and said that he was an abandoned child of the Zhao family. After coming back to life, all he wanted to do was live. Being a king, a general, or the emperor had nothing to do with him.
The old gentleman sighed that Cuiping Mountain had a stable government and harmonious people, and that life had been getting better and better since he came. Those in charge were all smart people, so how could they not see this?
Zhang Xiangyang said he would find Xiaomin and the others to talk.
Zhao Yulin put down his baggage and went to the military camp to train.
Zhu Congwen told him that the current team is divided into this mountain and that mountain, which will easily lead to factionalism and serious factional struggles.
He said there were only 20,000 to 30,000 people, and at the beginning, he would write an article and publish it in the newspaper so that everyone could discuss it together and try it out for a while.
At this time, Li Chuan came in to change his tea. Zhao Yulin saw the tight military uniform on Li Chuan and asked with a smile if he also wanted to join the army, and the clothes fit him well.
Zhu Congwen said that it was made by his mother herself.
Zhao Yulin said that he was well now, and asked Li Chuan to go to the academy to study, and come back in two years to be his secretary. Zhu Congwen smiled and said to Li Chuan, "Go ahead, study for two years and come back."
Li Chuan didn't understand what they were talking about, but he ran away happily. Zhao Yulin said that Li Chuan was smart, and we couldn't squeeze him dry.
Zhu Congwen said that he loved to think about others, but he himself had a lot of things to deal with.
He glared at Zhu Congwen, but saw Lu Youpeng running in hurriedly.
Lao Lu went into the house, took a big sip of water and said, "It's incredible. The Fire Phoenix garrison commander really thinks she is a local lord. Facing the challenge of the tribe, she was mobilizing troops while reporting in letters. I just received news that they have already started fighting with others.
Zhao Yulin took the intelligence, read it and handed it to Lao Zhu. Zhu Congwen read it and said it was a good thing. The Ninth Brigade took action upon hearing the alarm and solved the troubles in its own defense area without waiting or relying on others. This was a good thing.
Lu Youpeng was surprised and said that this was an action beyond their level and the two of them were still protecting him.
Zhao Yulin said that this requires distinguishing right from wrong, but he encouraged each brigade to act independently on the basis of balancing the overall situation, and not to tie down the brigade leaders. This is like the guerrilla warfare during the time of Mao's ancestors. If you grasp the essence, you can do it independently. Otherwise, how can we expand our base?
Zhu Congwen smiled and nodded to Lu Youpeng.
Lu Youpeng said that he couldn't keep up with the train of thought and should call Yuqi back. As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately covered his mouth and looked at Zhao Yulin stupidly.
He smiled, ignored Lu Youpeng's reaction, and said simply, "I just hope that my territory will become bigger and bigger, and I will have more and more people. Only in this way can I feel at ease and at ease when I sleep."
Lu Youpeng told him that the Yu Hou named Wu Kuang who came from Lin'an had not left and was still in Jiazhou.
Zhao Yulin felt that even if he wanted to cause trouble, he wouldn't be able to do anything big, so it was okay.
Zhu Congwen believes that the defense of Cuiping Mountain should be strengthened. Now that Master Jueming has gone to Xinshi Town, why not let Qu Zhengxiang take on the responsibility of city defense?
He said he would invite Master Qu to come out later.
Zhao Yulin pushed Zhu Congwen on the spacious training ground of the military camp, where all the new recruits were. Looking at the densely packed team, Zhu Congwen said that he might only be able to train the backbone in the future, as Cuiping Mountain was only this big.
Zhao Yulin said that the Shenwei Army belongs to everyone, and we can do whatever we want, but the team must be in the hands of people we trust.
A group of people came in at the gate , and Fan Zheng told him that it was the prefect, Mr. Chen, who had arrived.
Zhao Yulin stepped forward and saluted, but he came with the county magistrate of Qianwei. The group visited the military camp and went to the big tent to rest and have tea.
The county magistrate praised the Shenwei Army for its bravery and strict military discipline, saying that they had already ensured the security of Yujin, and the people were happy.
He said that as long as the people were happy, it was fine. There was coal in Yujin, just on the bank of the Min River in the north. He was sending people to look for it, and once it was found, a large coal mine with convenient transportation .
The county magistrate was delighted and happily said that he would fully support whatever needed to be done.
Zhao Yulin felt very comfortable with this sentence, and he invited the two adults to go to the beggar's chicken on the Jinsha River for a drink. When they arrived at the city gate, Chen Chen ran over and grabbed his father's arm.
The little girl proudly told her father that she was now the inspector of Cuiping Mountain and she would get to the bottom of whoever committed the crime.
Zhao Yulin listened and led the way with a smile.
Everyone went in and sat down, and the food and wine were quickly served. Chen Yun asked the county magistrate not to be surprised, because Cuiping Mountain was new to the town and everything was being done tentatively.
Zhao Yulin also smiled and invited everyone to eat chicken and drink wine.
Chen Chen acted like the host, happily serving food and adding wine to everyone. Chen Yun was happy to see her daughter so happy, saying that she never had such a happy face in her own house, where she was always frowning.
The county magistrate laughed and said that Cuiping Mountain was full of young people and full of vigor, so it would be a good mood to be there.
Then he praised Chen Chen again, saying that the Shenwei Army had a unique way of employing people. He saw many women on the street wearing Shenwei Army uniforms. Were they all working outside?
Chen Chen immediately answered him: Of course, she said that the Shenwei Army advocates gender equality, and men and women are the same.
Right, Brother Yulin?
As the little girl spoke, she passed a chicken leg to Zhao Yulin.
Zhao Yulin said that was for sure, the Shenwei Army wanted fairness and justice.
The county magistrate was stunned at first, then smiled and said fairness and justice, "Okay, this society needs fairness and justice." The county magistrate hoped that the new atmosphere of the Shenwei Army would have a positive impact on Qianwei, so he asked Zhao Yulin if he could station troops in his county?
This made him a little embarrassed, and Zhao Yulin looked at Chen Yun.
Seeing that he did not answer, the county magistrate said that he could hand over the county to the Shenwei Army for garrison, housing in the barracks and providing soldiers with pay, like they did in Yibin.
Chen Yun spoke up and said that the adults had visited the streets and alleys of Yibin, and the people all said it was good.
Zhao Yulin said that there are only 600 soldiers stationed in Yibin County. How many people does Your Excellency need?
The county magistrate happily said that the young man would arrange the number of people and they just needed to stay in the place.
Zhao Yulin felt that this county magistrate was a bit of a fan of the Shenwei Army. The Shenwei Army was not a piece of clay or wooden sculpture, and they had to abide by the laws of the Song Dynasty when they entered the city.
He said, "Your Excellency, please think carefully. Our Shenwei Army will deal with the matter, not the person. We will act in accordance with the laws of the Song Dynasty and in accordance with the principles of fairness and justice. We are just afraid that we will cause trouble to you."
The county magistrate hesitated for a moment, then said firmly, "Come on, Qianwei needs the Divine Power Army."
Zhao Yulin was speechless, and asked Chen Chen to collect some copies of the Cuiping Morning News and send them to the county magistrate. He said that the Shenwei Army was able to do something in Xuzhou thanks to the strong support of his teacher. Otherwise, Lin'an would have issued an order to abolish it long ago.
The county magistrate said that he had read some of the newspapers in Cuiping Mountain and knew that some of the practices therein were contrary to current trends, but they were things that made the common people happy. He shared the same sentiment and supported the Shenwei Army's proposition and was not afraid of losing his job.
Zhao Yulin saw that the conversation had come to this point, so he said that he would arrange for someone to do his bidding when he returned. He sent the two adults off to board the ship, and little Chen Chen asked him to accompany her to the tower to view the scenery. The two watched her father's official ship go farther and farther away.
Zhao Yulin said that she was the prefect's daughter, so she should not be too proud of herself and should be careful in what she did, so as not to let people say that she was unreasonable.
The little girl leaned against him and asked who said something bad about her?
Absolutely not.
The next day, the glass shop in Jiangbei City opened, and Yang Zhishan brought a group of officials and wealthy people in the city to support his wife. The employees sold out all the glasses that they had put into the cabinets the night before, including high-end glasses and even defective ones.
Yang Zhishan came across the river to find him and said that the dock had been repaired and that a completion ceremony was going to be held. He planned to invite the prefect of Jiazhou to unveil the plaque.
Zhao Yulin was not interested in these and said that it was all up to Yang Gong. The Dock Labor Union had sacrificed too much for Yibin Port, so he wanted Ma Linger to represent the Shenwei Army to attend the opening ceremony.
Yang Zhishan knew that he valued friendship. Ma Jin sacrificed his life to defend the dock. Ma Ling was the representative of the dock workers. He said okay and would do as his brother said.
Then, he made another request. Yang Zhishan said that after the Cuiping Mountain fire, Yibin City became much quieter. Is there any way to make the city lively?
Zhao Yulin smiled and said that this was a test for him, but everything cost money.
Yang Zhishan kept insisting and forced him to find a solution.
Zhao Yulin thought about it and said that after his glass shop opened, all the merchants who were looking for new and unusual things would rush across the river. He thought that he could revamp the streets in the Jiuzhouba area and let the guests passing by Yibin to stroll through the streets, buy Yibin's specialties and rare handicrafts, and taste special snacks. Perhaps this would be a good way to attract merchants?
This method is simple. All you need to do is tidy up the streets, renovate the shops, manage the environment and sanitation, park the ox carts, use the existing vacant land to build new shops, and bring in businesses.
Yang Zhishan said it was a good idea, but he had no money. He could give the land to Zhao Yulin like he did when he built the wharf, and let the Shenwei Army pay for it, with the same standard as Cuiping Mountain.
Yang Zhishan even said proudly that he didn't need anything else, just build a toilet like the one in Cuiping Mountain for use, as there would definitely be a lot of people who would need to use the toilet there.
Zhao Yulin was drinking tea when he burst into laughter.
After he sent Yang Zhishan away, he saw Chen Xiaomin doodling in the study. Zhao Yulin went up to her and hugged her from behind, asking her what she was writing.
The young lady bumped him with her elbow and asked him to leave. Zhao Yulin went back to sit down and have some tea. Chen Xiaomin went over and sat down, staring at him and asking if he had gone to complain to Mr. Zhang.
So that's what he asked the old man.
