"Brother, let's go first." Wu stood up and said to Wu Nian.
"Okay." Wu Nian nodded, and then said to the soldiers: "Please come in."
"yes."
The soldier responded, turned around and went down. When Wu went out, she saw Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng, so she bent down and blessed them.
Zhang Zhen hugged the two of them like a young adult.
Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng quickly bent down to return the courtesy, and then entered the study together.
"General." The two of them bowed to Wu Nian, who was sitting on the main seat.
Wu Nian was a little helpless. Although he had said many times that his brothers did not need such formal etiquette, no one listened to him.
"Sit down." Wu Nian asked them to sit down first, and then asked, "What's the matter?"
Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng sat down on both sides, but did not immediately answer Wu Nian's question. Instead, they turned to look at Wu Nian's study, with thoughtful expressions on their faces.
"It doesn't seem to be an emergency." Wu Nian pinched his chin, feeling much relieved.
"General. You have so many books here." Wang Gui withdrew his eyes and said with a smile.
"It's a lot. But I haven't seen it very much." Wu Nian smiled, then shook his head and said, "We'd better say what we have to say, feel free."
"Haha." Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng smiled awkwardly. Then Zhang Sheng looked at Wang Gui.
Wang Gui shrugged, but his expression became serious. He raised his head and said to Wu Nian, "General. We want to study."
"Forehead!"
Wu Nian was stunned for a moment, he was really surprised. These two actually wanted to study.
Including Li Yong, a group of his brothers are all literate. But people who are literate and people who read are completely two different kinds of people.
Let Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng read the official document so that they can understand it. But if you read the military book, it's quite boring.
But soon, Wu Nian understood. He smiled and asked, "Do you feel pressured?"
"Yes. The general understands us. Before that, Zhang Sheng, Tieniu and I were all big soldiers. In the past, we were all in a hurry to manage a thousand households. Now each of us has three thousand households. Although there are officials to help We were still in a hurry and made some jokes."
"We want to study and learn some skills in running an army, setting up camps, and attacking cities and territories." Wang Gui nodded heavily and said with clasped fists.
"Yeah." Zhang Sheng followed closely and nodded.
In addition to this, there is one more thing.
Among the seven captains under Wu Nian now. It goes without saying that Wei Ru was born in a general family. Zhang Jin is also proficient in the art of war and is the most calm and awesome among the old brothers.
Of course Long Qie and Liu Wu don't have this ability, but they are very powerful.
There were only two of them. They had neither force nor systematic study of the art of war, so they were in a hurry.
To put it bluntly, the two of them are useless. To be a member of a thousand households is to be worthy of the heaven. The reason why I can now be a captain and lead three thousand households.
In the future, the official position may increase.
This is all because they are Wu Nian's brothers.
Faced with such treatment, they felt ashamed and wanted to improve their skills to be worthy of the treatment Wu Nian gave them.
Live up to the brotherhood.
Wu Nian looked at their expressions and probably guessed what they were thinking. I felt happy and shook my head at the same time.
In fact, they are underestimating themselves.
Nothing is more important than trust. Precisely because they are brothers, it is difficult for the Chu State to win over Long Qie.
It is because of brothers that we can never leave.
Try another person?
Don't be suspicious when you employ people, don't use them when you are suspicious.
He appointed two brothers, Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng, as the left and right captains to command his own soldiers. This is a position that suits them very well and cannot be done by others.
But they can realize their own shortcomings and want to go further, which is of course a good thing, a great thing.
and. Wu Nian was inspired by their ideas.
Not only Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng, Liu Wu, Long Qie, but also the thousands and hundreds of households under their command, many of them were from wild backgrounds, and they didn't even know Doudazi.
Wu Nian did not despise illiteracy. An illiterate person may fight better than a well-educated person.
But reading more is never a bad thing.
By the way, there's also that brat Zhang Zhen.
So many people need to study and further their education, so why not build an academy?
"I have an idea. I will establish a martial arts school in Beishan Fort. Let Liu Zhixing recommend scholars who know the art of war, and let Miss Wei recommend veteran officers from the Wei family to teach you. I will teach you the art of war and teach you how to fight."
"More than 100 households, including school captains, can study regularly and in rotation."
"What do you think?"
Wu Nian raised his head, smiled and expressed his thoughts.
"Uh!!!" This question stopped Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng. They didn't think so much at all, they only thought about themselves.
Wang Gui reacted the fastest and said with a smile: "That's what the general said."
"Yes." Zhang Sheng also said quickly.
Although they didn't quite understand it, since it was Wu Nian's idea, it must be right. After so many years, didn’t they all believe that Wu Nian came here?
"Yes. It's settled. Let's go. Let's go to the Fu Han General's Mansion and discuss it with Liu Zhixing." Wu Nian stood up happily and walked towards the door.
Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng quickly stood up and followed.
Wu Nian, surrounded by all the soldiers, came to the Fuhan General's Mansion, found the busy man Liu Zhixing, and talked about the matter.
"That's what the general said. Even though the Meng Yuan people seem to be self-taught in fighting, there is still a difference between those who have learned it and those who have not. Now among the ten thousand households and noble children in the Meng Yuan Dynasty, who doesn't learn the Han art of war? of?"
"Build up the martial arts school and follow the rotation system. Get the school captains, thousands of households, and hundreds of households to study. Always keep half of the people studying in the martial arts school and half of the people training soldiers. It won't be a big problem."
After Liu Zhixing heard this, his eyes lit up, he stroked his beard comfortably, nodded with a smile.
In fact, he has already had this worry.
Although the generals and officers under Wu Nian are loyal and good at fighting, they all come from wild backgrounds and may not last long.
It's great that Wu Nianneng realized this problem himself.
"Okay. That's it. Zhixing. I've added another burden to you." Wu Nian raised his head and looked at Liu Zhixing with an expression that you understand.
He was used to being a hands-off shopkeeper, so he still had to leave the martial arts matters to the busy man Liu Zhixing.
"Hahaha. The general underestimates people. This matter is nothing, I can handle it soon." Liu Zhixing laughed and joked.
"Hahaha." Wu Nian also burst out laughing, very happily.
Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng also laughed, the matter was resolved perfectly.
Martial arts.
Really looking forward to it.
"General. A master who was prospecting for iron ore discovered a large iron mine near Zhangguang Fort. He asked someone to bring back a cart of iron ore."
"Da da da."
The soldiers ran in from outside. They were running so fast that they were out of breath. They were panting but looked happy.
"ah?!!!"
Wu Nian and others all screamed in surprise, stood up suddenly, and immediately fell into ecstasy.
Okay, that's a great thing.
The Mongolian people blocked supplies. Beishan Fort can be self-sufficient in food.
Yanba also asked Long Qie to have contact with Xiong Wuwei.
But there is nothing the iron ore can do.
and.
Even if there is iron ore flowing into Beishan Fort, it will still cost money. Now we are exploring large-scale iron mines by ourselves. We don’t need to spend money, we only need to pay labor.
Beishanbao has less cultivated land and more population.
That's great.
