When the four of them arrived at the base, Lin Jiang was training in the martial arts field.
Lin Hong led the support staff to work in the fields, and even children as young as a few years old followed the adults to pick up stones and grass roots in the fields.
In such a large base, I didn't see anyone idle.
The soldiers in the martial arts training ground are mighty and domineering.
The cavalry on the racecourse on the other side are strong and majestic. Wherever the horse passed, clouds of dust were raised.
Li Chaoyang narrowed his eyes, jumped up slightly, and sat on his horse.
He whipped the horse's butt with a whip, and the horse roared loudly, then ran forward and joined the cavalry team.
Li Chaoyang grew up in the mountains. He has the wildness of a wolf and the agility of a leopard.
Last winter, in addition to attending classes every day, he did horse riding, archery, and martial arts practice.
Coupled with his own advantages, his equestrian skills are now very good.
He did not show all his strength and followed those people in a low-key manner.
He knew there were many people here who were better than him.
According to the jungle law of the jungle, if he wants to conquer these people, he must use his strength to speak for himself.
Ye Yutong and Li Yunze have been watching Li Chaoyang since he joined the cavalry on horseback.
Seeing him restraining his momentum and following behind everyone in a low-key manner, he smiled happily.
Ye Yutong smiled and said: "He is a smart boy."
Li Yunze smiled and nodded.
Ye Mingxuan also smiled and praised, "Chaoyang is really smart, has a fierce energy in him, and learns things very quickly. My brother-in-law entrusted the cavalry to him. This is a very wise decision."
Last winter, when my sister and brother-in-law were away from the valley, Chaoyang practiced martial arts on horseback with several guards at the racecourse during the day.
I followed a few of them in the valley to study in the morning and evening. Whether it was civil or martial arts, I got started very quickly.
The only shortcoming is that the handwriting is ugly, and several gentlemen said he was a ghost. Only I know what I wrote, and I was often punished for it.
"Brother, I will take you to Uncle Lin Hong and talk to him. From now on, you will manage the base's food and grass together with him."
Ye Mingxuan immediately raised his hands and said, "Yes."
Some time ago, his father told him and Mingzhe that Ping An was their brother-in-law, and it didn't matter if they spoke and acted casually.
But let them not forget that Ping An has another identity.
They must carry out their orders seriously and not treat them as casually as their own family members.
Li Yunze was surprised when he saw that he answered so formally, and looked at Ye Yutong doubtfully.
Ye Yutong shrugged, saying that she didn't know either.
In fact, she still understood in her heart that her eldest brother regarded Ping An as the superior person giving orders.
She actually agreed that her two brothers should maintain a superior-subordinate relationship with Ping An in front of others.
Ping An's current situation is destined not to allow them to be as casual as before.
Now that he has so many soldiers under his command, he is more cautious in what he says and does than before, and he thinks more comprehensively.
Ye Mingxuan was afraid that he would think too much, so he held his shoulders and whispered: "Brother-in-law, we will always be good brothers. But your identity is different now.
Dad told us that at least in front of others, Mingzhe and I must respect and obey you. Only in this way will others respect you more and not dare to look down upon you. "
Li Yunze was silent for a while and said, "My father-in-law is really well-intentioned and considers everything so carefully."
He looked at Ye Mingxuan and said very seriously: "Brother, no matter what my identity is, you will always be my relatives, and this will never change."
Ye Mingxuan bumped his shoulder and said, "Of course, you are my brother-in-law. What is this if not a relative?"
Ye Yutong reminded them, "We'll talk about your stupid words later. Brother Lin Jiang is here."
The two of them glared at her at the same time and went to greet Lin Jiang.
Ye Mingxuan gave a thumbs up, "Brother Lin Jiang, you are really amazing. In just a few months, you have trained these people well."
Lin Jiang smiled and waved his hand, "These are the rules and regulations set by the master when he left. I just follow them."
He was telling the truth. These were indeed the rules Li Yunze and Ye Yutong established last year. Even how to train and the training time are clearly set.
Ye Mingxuan held his hand and said sincerely: "Brother Lin Jiang, you are too humble. Your ability is obvious to all, otherwise Ping An would not dare to entrust you with such a heavy burden."
Li Yunze smiled and echoed, "Lin Jiang, you did a very good job."
Lin Jiang cupped his hands towards them and said, "Thank you, Master. Thank you Mingxuan."
Lin Jiang felt relieved to be recognized by his master.
It was also his first time to manage an army, and there were still so many people, so he was inevitably a little uneasy.
Every night I have meetings and discussions with Lin Hong and several base managers.
I'm afraid that if I don't think carefully, I will ruin the master's affairs.
Li Yunze looked at Li Chaoyang on the racecourse, "Lin Jiang, let Chaoyang follow you from now on, and let him stay in the cavalry first.
When he can convince others, let him take over the cavalry. You specialize in training infantry and other cavalry. "
"Yes, Master."
Lin Jiang went on to train.
Ye Mingxuan then asked: "Brother-in-law, do I want to stay here in the future?"
"No need." Li Yunze told him, "Brother, you and Chaoyang still have to go back to the valley to study. When you are free, you two will ride over here."
"good."
The base is not far from the valley, less than a day's journey by horseback, and it's easy to get back and forth.
The three of them went to the paper factory again, and the paper production was very successful.
Although it is not comparable to modern paper, it is a bit rough and not white enough. But for this dynasty, it is already very good.
A one-eyed man in his forties came over. His name was Zhao Xie Yunpeng, and he used to be the chief butler of the Xie family.
After the Xie family committed a crime, their family was sold to the south and bought by a wealthy businessman.
The wealthy businessman knew that he had worked as a butler in the house of an official in the capital, and he thought highly of him.
As time passed, the wealthy businessman also learned about Xie Yunpeng's abilities. In order to make him more loyal to him, he wanted to take his daughter as a concubine.
How could Xie Yunpeng be willing? His girl was only fourteen or fifteen years old, while the wealthy businessman was already over fifty.
On the surface, he pretended to agree, but secretly he was preparing to flee to the North with his whole family.
There is chaos everywhere now. As long as they don't enter the city and just take the small roads, they probably won't be caught.
But he had calculated everything, but he had not calculated that the rich businessman would become animalistic after drinking and intended to cheat on his daughter.
Although Xie Yunpeng and his two sons were furious, they gritted their teeth and restrained themselves.
Be prepared to persuade the wealthy businessman to leave with good words, and they flee overnight.
But the wealthy businessman ignored Xie Yunpeng and insisted on consummating the marriage with his daughter that night.
Xie Yunpeng's two sons picked up the guy and fought him tooth and nail.
Xie Yunpeng's daughter was afraid that something would happen to her father and two brothers, so she immediately ran out of the room.
In order to save her family, she planned to leave with the wealthy businessman.
But his two brothers loved their sister very much and firmly disagreed, causing a quarrel on the spot.
But how could the three of them, father and son, be any match for the wealthy businessman's guard?
Xie Yunpeng was blinded in one eye, and the eldest son of the Xie family also had his leg broken.
Xie Yunpeng's daughter's face was shattered in order to protect her parents and two brothers.
When the wealthy businessman sobered up the next day, he realized that he could no longer stay with his family.
If he sold it, he was afraid of causing trouble for his family, so he prepared to deal with it secretly.
Xie Yunpeng knew that the wealthy businessman would definitely not let them go, but he was blind in one eye, his eldest son's leg was broken, and his second son was beaten badly, so it would not be that easy to escape.
Just when they were at a loss, Xie Dong asked Uncle Lin to find their person. After many inquiries, he found the wealthy businessman's home.
The wealthy businessman refused to let him go at first, but was threatened and intimidated by Uncle Lin's people, and finally he obediently handed over their marriage contract.
Xie Yunpeng's family was taken to Lingnan Mountain and lived with Xie Dong. This time, Butler Lin sent them to help.
Ye Yutong learned about Lin Zhong's life experience and decided to make Xie Yunpeng the manager of the paper mill.
