Shen Xuyuan then replied: "The lower official has two strategies to deal with this situation: First, over the years, the township has recommended many virtuous talents, but An Shijie and others have been so nepotistic that these talents have become It has not been used. Now is the time to restart this matter. All we need to do is to take out all the previous recommendation books in the warehouse and re-examine them, select the virtuous ones, and replace the officials who are currently guilty! Wait until An Shijie's case is reviewed Clearly, after finding evidence of other corrupt officials, the selection of talents can basically be completed. Secondly, this county is different from other counties. It is not only the police who guard the security of the county, but also two hundred county soldiers, including Mr. Yuan. Sitting in this city, who dares to make any changes?"

Yu Zheng nodded slightly and said with a smile: "It seems that Master Shen already knows what's going on."

Shen Xuyuan added: "As for Mr. Xu and other county officials, I also have suggestions. I hope you can pretend that you don't know that they are involved in this case, so that they no longer have to worry about An Shijie leaking secrets. This behavior can be observed more in the future and then dealt with."

Yu Zheng said: "This is consistent with my thoughts. I don't know how many corrupt officials will be uncovered if we continue the investigation. It is really not appropriate to throw them all away." When he said this, he sighed with emotion, "Deceive the superiors and hide the lies from the inferiors. This is not just an official, this is a malady in the country. It is not just Qingchuan, not just this county, but other prefectures and counties also have this kind of chaos. To cure it, we still need great talents."

He cast his gaze on Shen Chen and said with a smile: "I hope that the young master of the Shen family can inherit the three hundred years of good reputation of the Shen family and become the pillar of the country!"

With one sentence of high hopes, both Shen Dinghai and Shen Xuyuan looked pleased. Being able to get the affirmation and hope of Mr. Cao Cao would naturally be of great help to Shen Chen in his career in the future.

However, they did not expect that Shen Chen was not interested in any official career at all. Of course, Shen Chen would not say it in this situation. He could only bow his hands in a humble manner.

On the second day, under Yu Zheng's announcement, Shen Xuyuan, the governor, became the acting county magistrate. This shocked the whole city for a while. Naturally, the people rushed to complain. After all, the Shen family has a reputation of being clean and honest from generation to generation. According to legend, the craftsmen of the Sifu told the truth about what happened on the levee that day. The people hated An Shijie who was greedy for hundreds of thousands of taels of silver and ignored the lives of the people and refused to repair the levee. The people hated Shen Xuyuan. Naturally, there were many carols.

Shen Xuyuan was not in a hurry to try An Shijie's case, but began to find the recommended list in stock and began to select available virtuous talents. Then Yu Zheng held a trial in person to try An Shijie. In the face of iron-clad evidence, An Shijie In order to save his life, Jie had no choice but to reveal all the corruption. Zhao Xuande and others were dismissed one after another and were replaced by young talents one after another.

As a result, an official assessment turned into a comprehensive change in Qingchuan's political situation.

The people were naturally overjoyed about this important event, but only the local noble families whose interests were involved were ready to take action. Yuan Tie deployed a hundred troops in the city to prevent anyone from making trouble, which was enough to deter the local noble families. At the same time, rumors began to spread in the military camp. The third young master of the Shen family planned to destroy the three villages, and he used the talisman paper to lead the way and dug out the silver hidden in An Shijie's house, which is even more miraculous.

But these are no longer important to Shen Chen. Everything he did was just to keep the Shen family safe. As for Shen Xuyuan, he showed his ability to coordinate the overall situation as soon as he came to power, which shows that there is no problem in managing a county. Yu Zheng also Feeling relieved, he headed back to the county government.

In this way, Shen Chen could finally breathe a sigh of relief and focus on his own affairs.

That morning, after listening to Li Chengfeng's history lecture, he rushed to the military camp outside the city for one thing only, and that was to learn martial arts.

At this time, the soldiers in the military camp were practicing as usual. When the commanders who were instructing saw Shen Chen coming, they all saluted. The capture of the three villages made the young Shen Chen establish an unshakable position in the army. His small reputation, coupled with his different status now, he is the nephew of the county magistrate.

When he led Shen Chen to the big tent, Yuan Tie held the scroll in his hand and frowned. When he saw Shen Chen coming, he was overjoyed and said: "The third young master came just in time. I am a bit confused here, so I still can't read." I need to trouble you to give me some advice."

Shen Chen took the scroll and looked at it, but it turned out to be a military book.

The writing in this world is very similar to that of the ancients in this world, so after Shen Chen was reborn, it didn’t take much effort to learn thousands of words. The idea of ​​self-taught without a teacher is also widely spread in Qingchuan. As for this military book, Shen Chen I have dabbled in it in my study.

The Shen family library has a very rich collection of books, which are not limited to Qingchuan historical materials, astronomy and geography, miscellaneous anecdotes, and everything in between.

As soon as he looked at the military book, he suddenly understood that Yuan Tie must have realized that leading troops to fight was not just about training troops, but also about knowing strategies. This shows that Yuan Tie still has some understanding.

Yuan Tie said: "I also read books for several years when I was a child. I can recognize most of the words in this book, but the language is a bit difficult and I can't understand some parts."

Shen Chen smiled and said: "Then I will be brave enough to explain it to you."

"That's very good. Come, Third Young Master, please sit down." Yuan Tie quickly invited him to sit down.

Then, Shen Chen explained Yuan Tie's doubts one by one. Yuan Tie nodded from time to time, as if he had suddenly realized something.

Half an hour later, Yuan Tie couldn't help but praise repeatedly: "The third young master's explanation is really easy to understand, and I have learned a lot."

Shen Chen smiled slightly and said: "Your Excellency, you are too generous. I just interpreted it literally, but when it comes to actual combat, it is not as good as your Excellency."

Yuan Tie waved his hand and said sincerely: "Third Young Master, you are humble. Although I am confident that I am not inferior to others in military training, I am still a layman in terms of strategy and calculation. It is also the incident in these three villages that inspired me. I should read military books diligently." , just strive to make progress. Maybe there will be times in the future when you have to trouble the third young master."

"If you need me, I will always be there for you." Shen Chen said with his fists clasped.

"Okay, Third Young Master is really a cheerful person!" Yuan Tie was overjoyed. Then he glanced at the young man and saw that he had a rosy complexion and breathing freely. After checking Shen Chen's veins, he said strangely, "Third Young Master, your internal injuries are unexpectedly serious. It’s completely healed.”

Shen Chen didn't hide anything from him and said bluntly: "My husband is also proficient in some martial arts and taught me some healing methods. Coupled with the warming and tonic medicine prepared by the doctor, I recovered so quickly. "

"So that's it. It seems that the healing method is not ordinary. The third young master is indeed a noble man with a good life." Yuan Tie didn't think much about it, let alone what the so-called healing method was. He smiled and said, " Now that the third young master has recovered from his injury and is interested in learning martial arts, I should devote all my resources to teaching him, so please come with me."

So, the two of them left the camp and came to a secluded place behind the military camp. The surrounding terrain was open, with big trees and jungles, and there were a lot of boulders on the ground with cracks on them. It was obviously a place for practicing martial arts.

Yuan Tie stood with his hands behind his back and said seriously: "Martial arts requires diligent practice, and it takes ten years to achieve a small success. The hardships are not enough for outsiders, and there are various risks involved. However, as long as there is a small success, there is a skill." You can defend yourself and respond to dangers. Does the third young master have the determination and perseverance to not give up halfway?"

Shen Chen said resolutely: "This junior has made up his mind. No matter how painful or difficult it is, he will definitely target adults and hope to gain something."

Yuan Tie nodded slightly and said: "The third young master has excellent bones. If he can practice diligently and work tirelessly, I'm afraid he will reach the rank of captain in less than ten years."

"Lieutenant rank?" Shen Chenmu was confused.

Yuan Tie said: "On the earth, various countries, whether they are folk sects, prominent families, or even royal families, all have their own unique martial arts. Because the countries on the earth are constantly at war, military generals have become the middle force of martial arts practitioners. Because the levels of advanced warriors are also divided according to the level of generals, there are nine levels in total, namely: soldier level, soldier level, lieutenant level, director level, general level, marquis level, king level, emperor level and emperor level. Levels, each level is divided into principal and deputy."

Shen Chen was secretly surprised when he heard that. Although a warrior reaching a certain level does not necessarily mean that he can hold the corresponding official position, the nine levels mean that the realm of martial arts is unpredictable. If the position of a county captain is generally It is held by a warrior of the deputy lieutenant level. Judging from the fact that Yuan Tie once served in the county, he should be a full lieutenant level.

However, Yuan Tie's domineering strength is only the third level among the nine levels. It is simply unimaginable how advanced the strength of the remaining levels of powerhouses is.

At this time, Yuan Tie was heard to say loudly again: Those who are at the rank of soldier have a first glimpse of martial arts. Their skills are shallow, but they are one level higher than ordinary people. If they join the army, they can serve as ordinary soldiers in the army.

Those at the rank of sergeants are beginners in martial arts, have some skills, are good at fists and kicks, and become familiar with their moves. They can serve as low-level officials in the army, such as corps commander or commander.

Those at the rank of lieutenant can achieve success after more than ten years of hard training. Their fists are powerful enough to crack stone monuments and rocks, and their moves are smooth and flowing. Their lethality is much greater than that of those at the rank of lieutenant. However, those at the rank of lieutenant need more than twenty years of hard work to reach this point. Those who reach this level can serve as county lieutenants, county captains and even captains.

Those at the commander level have understood the essence of martial arts, mastered it, worked hard day and night, and gradually become like everyone else, they can hold positions such as Sima in the army.

Those at the general level have great mastery in martial arts, have the courage to be invincible to ten thousand men, and have the strength to single-handedly charge into an army of ten thousand people to take the enemy's head. They have become a master in martial arts and can serve as generals in the army.

Those at the marquis level have profound and unpredictable cultivation. They can open a business, recruit many disciples, and form a sect of their own. If they join the army, they can achieve outstanding military exploits, receive rewards, be granted titles, and be ranked as princes.
