Sighing lightly, Xiao Chen probably saw that he was thinking about his reputation.
It's indeed quite touching, that is to say, is it possible that all of this is just a trick on his part to confuse the enemy?
Besides, he doesn't just make money by collecting money from students, he also runs many businesses of his own.
As far as the monthly income is concerned, it is tens of thousands, and it is impossible to spend it all.
Heaving a deep breath of relief, Xiao Chen regained his refreshing posture and calmly advised: "Zhao Shangshu, you don't need to worry about anything else."
"I'm not a very particular person. Fame and other things are just external things. Anyway, you don't say it in front of me."
Out of sight!
Zhao Xifeng was a little helpless.
He believed that Xiao Chen was not the kind of person who was blinded by money.
He obviously has strategy and wisdom, and can be said to have more potential than Zhang Dongyang. Why is he willing to be a court judge without any power?
Is it true that as the rumors say, he has no ambition and does not seek to be well-known?
Zhao Xifeng didn't know why. He didn't like Xiao Chen very much before, but now he felt unworthy for him and couldn't do anything about the other person's attitude.
He was not in a hurry, but he was worried.
Xiao Chen took note of his appearance.
He had already straightened his body slightly: "Zhao Shangshu, since you are so kind to me, I also pay attention to courtesy, so I will give you some advice."
Zhao Xifeng's thoughts were brought back and he was a little curious: "Oh, I wonder what Judge Xiao has to say?"
"I'm also a straight person, so I won't be polite to you. In fact, I have some views and opinions on the way your Zhao Jiajun trains troops."
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Xifeng's expression changed visibly.
Zhao Jiajun was trained by him personally, and every move was based on his accumulated experience and achievements on the battlefield.
Even the emperor was full of praise for his Zhao Jiajun. How dare Xiao Chen say such shameless words?
Although he thought it was ridiculous, he also knew Xiao Chen's strength during the time he had been in contact with Xiao Chen.
After calming down his unconvinced attitude for a while, he patiently asked, "Then please ask Magistrate Xiao for some advice."
If you feel it's inappropriate, just ignore him at worst.
If what he said really has merit, he must have earned it.
He is still a decent young man, and he is not so proud that he vetoes everyone's opinions.
Xiao Chen tapped his fingers on the table and started making gestures while talking.
“First of all, it’s the way you train.”
"The key to building a strong military is the combination of work and rest. High-intensity training can indeed make people improve quickly, but it can also cause disgust and fear."
It is torture to the body. Endless training will only make people numb, and they are afraid of the pain during training.
"In my opinion, a reward and punishment system should be implemented. At the same time, direct duels between soldiers will be held to check their flexibility in using moves."
"The winner will be rewarded and given appropriate rights..."
There is motivation only when there are rewards. When a person reaches the point of numbness, they can no longer learn, and all they want to think about is escape.
Having said this, Zhao Xifeng had already seen some signs, nodded in agreement, and listened carefully to what he continued.
"Studying requires teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, and the same goes for practicing martial arts. Some are suitable for using guns, some are suitable for using knives, some are suitable for close attack, and some are suitable for long-distance attack."
"Instead of focusing on training the same thing, it is better to divide their training areas according to their specialties and hobbies, and shine on their own strengths."
"This will not only retain their enthusiasm for training to the greatest extent, but also inspire people."
"Defining reasonable training arrangements every day, and establishing military discipline and rules at the same time, so that everyone can have a sense of self-discipline."
…
It was not until Xiao Chen finished speaking that Zhao Xifeng suddenly became enlightened as if he had cleared away the clouds and seen the blue sky.
Although these detailed questions are insignificant, they have a big impact!
Including the shortcomings Xiao Chen mentioned just now, he had actually encountered them all during the training process.
Zhao Xifeng stood up and held his hands in his hands: "Thank you so much, Xiao Yuan, for the suggestion. It's really enlightening!"
Looking at Xiao Chen, he is young but shows a kind of worldly sophistication, with wisdom and stability that does not belong to this age.
He couldn't help but sigh with deep emotion: "Xiao Yuanjian is so young and promising, his future is bound to be limitless."
Xiao Chen smiled and said nothing. It probably wasn't the first time he heard this, but it was an honor to be recognized by the general.
The two looked at each other, even though they were far apart in age, they felt that they had met each other late.
…
Zhao Xifeng left, and Xiao Chen lay on his Taishi chair again.
The sun is shining brightly, and the breeze is blowing lightly.
After all, he slowly closed his eyes and was about to enjoy the quiet moment, but he heard the doorman coming to report: "Master, Ji Yunzhang, a student from the Supervisory Academy, has come to see you."
Xiao Chen opened his eyes helplessly, why can't they come together if they are like ducks one by one?
"You let him in."
Xiao Chen was not surprised by the arrival of the original machine.
After all, he was a student in the academy, and he was still holding the book of sages and preparing for the scientific examination, when he was suddenly recommended to be the Minister of Rites.
No matter who this kind of thing happens to, it is quite explosive.
As the recommender, Xiao Chen, wouldn't it be a bit unkind if he didn't come to express his condolences in person?
"Students see the court judge."
Xiao Chen sat on the chair, lying a little carelessly, lightly raising his eyelids.
In fact, this was the first time he met Ji Yunzhang, and he didn't know if anyone in his family had given him gold, silver, or jewelry.
I wanted to reject him at that time, mainly because this guy was Ji Yunlan's cousin and he could also be used by me.
Just taking a brief look at him, he looked like a handsome young man with fine features and delicate features.
Even though he was wearing the uniform of the college, he still couldn't hide the aristocratic feeling that radiated from the inside out.
Even if the old aristocrats left behind by the late empress were placed with ordinary people, they would still stand out among the crowd at a glance.
Xiao Chen waved his hand: "You don't have to be polite. You are now the Minister of Rites. In terms of status, you are no worse than me."
He glanced at the chair next to him and said, "Sit down, it's been prepared for you."
Ji Yunzhang was still a little cautious. He looked at Xiao Chen repeatedly, but he couldn't figure out what he was thinking.
If he remembered correctly, he had no social contact with Xiao Chen. He was the academic leader in the academy, ranked first every year, and was extremely intelligent.
He advocated relying on his own talents and learning to get to the position he really wanted, so he didn't give anything to Xiao Chen.
There are rumors from the outside that this guy takes bribes every day, and whoever gives more will have a brighter future.
But why was he recommended as Minister by Xiao Chen without saying anything?
