"Who are you?" Lin Chu looked at the peony man with cold eyes.
"I'm not wronging you if I say you are ignorant." The Peony Man waved the folding fan in his hand and said with squinting eyes, "I am Wu Youran, the eldest son of Wu Ji Bank!"
He curled his lips, shook the folding fan loudly, and glanced at Lin Chu with contempt and ridicule from the corners of his eyes, showing arrogance and disdain.
Lin Chu pursed her lips.
Western Chu has been committed to developing armaments all year round, which is an extremely expensive business and will inevitably leave a lot of development opportunities for wealthy merchants.
Western Chu places little emphasis on business, and those who engage in business are at the bottom of the country. However, businessmen who have wealth in their hands will not be willing to be inferior to others. Naturally, they must find ways to enter the officialdom and shine the lintel of their family.
Therefore, every year, Western Chu will release a portion of the official quota, whether civil or military, with clearly marked prices. You give me money, and I will give you status.
As a result, the national treasury was filled, but the officialdom became... increasingly ugly.
Civilian titles required real materials and were not the first choice of merchants, so they targeted military camps. Camps were set up for the children of merchants in various places in Western Chu. Lin Chu thought that the National Defense Army would be different.
Today I realized that all crows in the world are as black as black.
The Protector's Miracle Camp had already existed in name only when the Princess Protector passed away.
"Ha." Wu Youran saw that Lin Chu didn't speak for a long time, thinking that she was intimidated by her identity, and her expression became more and more disdainful: "The low-class people are useless unless they are beaten! In my opinion, beating just a few of them will not have the effect of deterring them. The two of them should be
It’s better to give those pickled pigs a beating together!”
"What did you say?"
Wu Youran's words can be said to have stirred up a hornet's nest.
There were 6,000 soldiers in the National Guard Army, divided into teams of ten, and three teams were organized into one battalion. Half of them were from poor families. His words caused a stir.
Everyone in the second battalion was filled with anger and glared at Wu Youran. The first battalion laughed and praised Wu Youran for his thoughtfulness.
Chen Jiaoxi stroked his beard and glared at the Second Battalion: "What are you doing? Want to rebel?!"
Master Xu shrank his neck and whispered in Chen Jiaoxi's ear: "Teacher Xi, you just came today. I'm afraid you will punish so many people at once..."
"What are you afraid of?" Chen Jiaoxi frowned: "Without rules, there would be nothing! It is precisely because today is my first day in the camp that I should set some rules!"
"However." He turned his head and looked at Wu Youran: "Your method is not perfect. After beating the second battalion, who will do the chores in the camp later?"
Wu Youran touched his nose: "The lesson is that Youran doesn't think well."
"The first team of the second battalion received the punishment, let's do it. Don't delay the training time!" Teacher Chen narrowed his eyes, with a little impatience in his eyes. The dignified deputy general teacher, is it so difficult to hit someone?
Lin Chu's eyebrows were half-shrunk, and there was a cold glint in his eyes. The man named Chen was arrogant on the outside, but very vicious and delicate in his heart. He looked down on the Second Battalion, and he was new to establishing his authority, but he was unwilling to burn the entire Second Battalion.
Only dealing with one team was just to make everyone blame her. From then on, she was isolated in the National Protectorate Army, completely cutting off her chance to succeed as commander!
This is Bailiyuan’s idea, right?
"Teacher Chen." Lin Chu raised his eyebrows: "I just said, one person is responsible for what he does, and my guilt has nothing to do with others."
"As soon as we enter the military camp, we become comrades." Chen Jiaoxi said with a sneer: "On the battlefield, a small mistake by one of you may cause the entire army to be annihilated. Today, I will teach you what it means to share joys and sorrows and take responsibility for the country!"
"I will never ask to be taught favoritism." Lin Chu's lips curled up slightly, and tiny stars flashed in his eyes: "The second team has ten people, each with twenty canes, a total of two hundred military canes. Lin Chu will bear it alone!"
