Chen Kai, the former governor of Zhangzhou Prefecture, applied for promotion to the Fujian Procuratorate and Counselor. The memorial of Zhangquan Branch Patrol and the governor of Zhangzhou Prefecture was sent to Wuzhou as quickly as possible.

After the fall of Guangzhou, no one can be sure whether Xing Zai is still in Wuzhou. But what is certain is that he is just a fourth-grade sub-inspector and has not even been upgraded. The imperial court will not deny Zheng Chenggong.

Request, because doing so would not be in line with the way the Ming court and the feudal towns get along in this period.

"It's not like Zheng Chenggong asked me to make me the King of Qin. Du Yonghe can object if he wants to. The princes in the court will not pay attention to him."

Chen Kai thought about it, and he guessed that Zheng Chenggong had not thought of this before. Official positions would take time, but no one thought that the court would veto it, so Zheng Chenggong had already issued an order for Chen Kai to form a standard battalion on his own.

"The specific number of troops is set at five hundred. The officer in charge is a staff general. Lin Dezhong, who is following you, asks him to go and practice."

"I would like to express my gratitude to Lin Dezhong."

Most of the patrol camps were composed of two hundred soldiers, and a garrison commander was appointed. Zheng Chenggong waved his hand, and a battalion head of five hundred people came out, which was quite heroic. It should be noted that Zheng Chenggong usually had two associations in a town.

, Xie equals the camp, the camp has five hundred soldiers, and a town normally has one thousand soldiers and horses.

Being able to do this is because Chen Kai captured Chaozhou's capital city. His performance in the Battle of Pantuoling and this time in Guangzhou proved that he was not an ordinary civil servant who only limited his military interests to words. If you have the ability, you must use it.

Zheng Chenggong has always been very realistic, and he does not hesitate to reuse those he can trust. However, Lin Dezhong was short-lived in the army and mostly followed Chen Kai. Zheng Chenggong did not rush to promote him to deputy general, but only promoted him to guerrilla general.

Level one.

By the time we reached this point in the conversation, it was already getting late. Chen Kai had been tired all the way, and Zheng Chenggong couldn't drag him to hold a candle to talk at night. The four servants at home had received the news early and went out to welcome the master back home.

The hot water was already boiling. Chen Kai didn't need to wait. He took off his clothes and melted into the slightly hot water. The maid came in and poured a round of hot water. She rolled up her sleeves and used a loofah to scrub Chen Kai.

arm.

It was cool at night, but the bathroom was very hot. The steaming water vapor filled the room, like mist. After a while, thin beads of sweat appeared on the maid's forehead, and drops of water splashed on her lotus-rooted arms, but her hands

However, there was no pause in her movements. After wiping her arms and back, Chen Kai didn't move, and she didn't speak. She just tested the water temperature. Seeing that the temperature was acceptable, she sat on the small stool next to her.

.

The maid tilted her little head and let her elbows rest on her legs. Her eyes flickered at Chen Kai without saying a word. In her eyes, the master was a person like Zhuge Liang or Liu Bowen.

The things in her mind were so powerful that she was always thinking about something. She didn't dare to interrupt his thoughts, so she remained silent like this habitually, waiting for Chen Kai to react, or the water temperature required her to do something.

What the hell.

Chen Kai has long been accustomed to being served like this. Sitting in the tub, he is still thinking about what happened today. He also has some expectations for tomorrow, but there is never a shortage of things that need to be done. He has just completed such a

It's a big deal, so don't think about taking a long vacation. Of course, among these feudal bureaucrats, workaholics like him are rare. There's nothing wrong with taking a little care of your physical and mental health, as long as you don't delay the business.

good.

After bathing, he changed his clothes, as if he was a different person. Chen Kai did not go back to his room to sleep, but came to the study. The place he saw was still spotless, and he picked up a book "Surveying Law" he brought back from Guangzhou.

Then I read it carefully. I read it like this for half an hour. I felt a little sleepy, so I went back to my room and slept. I slept until dawn.

Early the next morning, Chen Kai called Kuang Lu for a tour of Nan'ao City. Kuang Lu didn't hesitate and left as soon as he called. The two walked around the city, including the Ordnance Bureau's workshop and the gunpowder manufacturing workshop.

As well as the military uniform manufacturing workshop, I have not entered it, but I can still watch a unique scene nearby.

"I have established rules for these places. If Zhan is here for the first time, I won't be able to take you in." Chen Kai is the one who sets the rules, so naturally it is not easy for him to take the lead in violating them. Kuang Lu nodded, and then Chen Kai pointed again.

Pointing to a small academy in the distance: "It's fine there."

"When humans are born, their nature is good. Their natures are similar, but their habits are far apart..."

The familiar feeling came from the sound of reading, and Kuang Lu's expression softened slightly, as if he was recalling some old events. This was a rare touch recently, but after a while, his brows gradually wrinkled,

Then he walked quickly towards the classroom in the distance in the courtyard, until he escaped from the noise from other classrooms and heard the sounds there clearly, and he suddenly stopped.

"This is, "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic"?"

Kuang Lu turned around and looked at Chen Kai doubtfully. After receiving a positive answer, she thought for a moment and then she was relieved: "It is also good for these children to learn arithmetic. In these years, it is better than reciting poems for this country and the world."

It comes in handy."

As a well-known talent in Guangdong, Kuang Lu was talented in literature and was most famous for his poetry and calligraphy. However, this statement was a denial of his own talents. Even Chen Kai could feel the desolation in this.

"Doing some knowledge that is more useful to the national economy and people's livelihood, whether in troubled times or prosperous times, is more useful than those icing on the cake."

Ignoring Kuang Lu's surprise, Chen Kai said categorically: "When I was studying when I was young, my teacher said that the saints respected Guanzi. Later I found out that Guanzi enriched the country and strengthened the army, so he had Duke Huan and the nine princes. If you want to enrich the country and strengthen the army, you should recite poems and write poems, calligraphy and painting

Romance is all bullshit. What Ming Dynasty lacks the most is idiots who feel invincible by writing a few eight-legged essays and just waiting around to do anything. Too many idiots will only ruin national affairs. Some people still need to be able to do things.

, will do something.”

Chen Kai's deviant remarks have been made not once or twice. The one I have interacted with the most is Chen Ding. Now I am not like before in Chaozhou Mansion School. I always have to talk nonsense that has nothing to do with stereotypes to feel better. I have accepted it.

Pollution. But even if some of the nonsense is just what he thinks and feels, it may not necessarily be correct. Even if he knows this, he always feels that it is much more interesting than just talking about how to write eight-legged essays.

"Respect the king and reject the barbarians..." However, when Kuang Lu heard these words, she frowned, looked at Chen Kai in disbelief, and then asked with a trembling voice: "Jing Cheng, do you want to be a pipe?

"If you want your country's surname to be Huan Gong, do you want to be the king of Zhou now?"

Hearing this, Chen Kai shook his head and then said with a smile: "Zhan Ruo, this is not how you read books, and you shouldn't think of words like this. You think too much, but also too little. I am not a manager, I am just a fool.
Chapter completed!
