Damn it, I'm in the garbage book I wrote

Chapter 451: New Team

While Mr. Shan Wu was busy, Xia Lin was not idle either. He was sitting in the room and chatting with about two hundred young cadres selected from the Fuliang New Army.

Their duty is to go down to the grassroots level and strive to have one such person in every company of each army. However, due to the current insufficient number of people, they can only temporarily set up a company of 150 people. These people will go down to help soldiers at all levels solve various problems according to the implementation plan.

"Lü Pei, you draft the rules. The rest of you will then implement them. A new team needs new methods. We don't have much time, so this will test your abilities."

After saying that, Xia Lin paused for a moment and said, "The most urgent task at the moment is to repair the relationship and trust between the soldiers and the people. You all came from the common people, and there is no mention of who is a child of an aristocratic family, so you should be more familiar with this aspect, Inspector General."

"Have!"

"Just bear with it for a bit. Even though everyone is scolding you, you still have to fulfill your duties, okay?"

"understand!"

Xia Lin tapped the table lightly as he spoke. "In addition to the tasks at hand, you also have a very important task, which is to teach your soldiers to read and write in their spare time. It doesn't require them to be very good, but at least they have a basic understanding of the task. This task is heavy, but it must be carried out. Do you have any other opinions? If not, we will adjourn this meeting."

The young soldiers dispersed one after another. Xia Lin sat in the room and took a sip of water from his cup. Then Luo Shixin, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, walked in quickly: "General, there are 700 cavalrymen coming outside the camp, led by Sun Huaili."

"Who is that?"

"The general guarding Jianmen Pass."

"Ok?"

Xia Lin stood up quickly and walked out quickly. Not long after, he saw the 700 cavalrymen. After seeing Xia Lin, they dismounted and the leader clasped his fists and shouted, "Jianmen Guardian Sun Huaili greets Marshal Xia."

This name is very interesting. Those who know that Xia Lin has a tiger talisman in his hand call him the Marshal, while those who don't know what he has in his hand call him the General, and those who look down on him call him the little thief...

Now that the commander of Jianmen Pass called Xia Lin "General", it meant that he actually knew about the tiger talisman, so Xia Lin hurriedly welcomed him to the camp, and then ordered his men to let this team of soldiers reorganize and rest.

"General Sun, what's this?"

"Prince Tang went to Jianmen Pass to exchange guard with me, and asked me to go south to find the commander-in-chief."

"The tiger talisman is in his hand, right?"

"That's right. I wonder what the commander-in-chief wants to say right now."

"Rest first." Xia Lin looked Sun Huaili up and down and said, "You have worked hard on this journey. Rest for three days first. You brought 700 cavalrymen with you, right?"

"Yes, I brought the cavalry out, and the infantry guarding the pass stayed behind."

"Yes, very good." Xia Lin nodded: "Have you seen Princess Pingyang?"

"Replying to the commander, I have not met Princess Pingyang."

Xia Lin was a little confused for a moment, but he thought that this matter should be decided between the siblings, and he didn't need to get involved in the fight between the two of them, as the second son was the strongest carbon-based creature at the moment.

"You didn't have any conflict?"

"I only recognize the tiger talisman and not the person. I will obey whoever holds the tiger talisman."

Xia Lin nodded: "Okay! That's great. Go down and have a rest first, then see if you have any ideas, I'll try to arrange it for you."

"Thank you, Marshal!"

After Sun Huaili left, Xia Lin sat at the table and pursed his lips. It seemed that Li Shimin had seized Jianmen. Now that Jianmen was taken, with the abilities of his siblings, the land of Bashu would basically be stable. It was estimated that he and his father would have some arguments by then.

I just don’t know how Sanniang is doing now. Judging from the situation, she is not detained by Li Yuan. She must have some other mission.

But he didn't have time to think about it right now, as Xia Lin had something important to deal with.

After he went out, the area along the river had already started to resume production and life. The new dock on the river was crowded with ships every day. The speed and density of people migrating in were much smaller now. The number was roughly the same as he estimated, with about 400,000 people in six counties and 70,000 people in one county, which was considered a normal population.

With the huge investment of resources, the development here is very fast. Sometimes an area can be formed in just a few days. Although the overall situation is still very simple, the necessary areas have appeared one after another, such as the naturally formed commercial area, and the living area that mainly relies on tents.

However, although they still live in tents, most people are relatively at ease because their houses are under construction. There will even be one or two people in their family working on the construction sites. And although it is now the coldest time of the year, because of honeycomb coal, they will no longer have to endure the winter as hard as before.

The industrial base is also being built rapidly. It is estimated that it will not be long before a relatively densely populated production city appears here.

Now we just have to wait two months for Xia Lin to launch the first wave of attacks on the corrupt caste system. "Sir, the scouts ahead have reported."

"explain."

"At present, dozens of large families in the Central Plains have joined forces with many small families to recruit private soldiers and have begun training."

"it is good!"

When Xia Lin heard the news, he slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "There is a road to heaven but you don't take it, there is no door to hell but you break in. Go, call General Shan over."

Shan Xiongxin ran over quickly: "Marshal."

"Fifth brother, let me tell you, the noble families have also started to prepare and are recruiting private soldiers. I think there should be a considerable number of monk soldiers among them. What do you think?"

"Since the Marshal asked me this, I also thought of it. How about finding someone to give them two hundred sets of armor?"

Xia Lin paused and looked at Shan Xiongxin. The fifth brother also tilted his head to look at him, and then the two of them laughed out loud with their heads raised.

"Okay, okay! That's it."

Even if five sets of armor were considered treason, it would be too obvious to send only five sets. However, sending two hundred sets was different, as it meant surrender. Xia Lin had a big concern before, that is, if he rashly launched a civil uprising, it would not be pleasant to hear or see.

But now, they have recruited private soldiers. Once they start to take action, it will be no longer up to them whether they are round or flat.

"Who came up with such a weird idea?" Shan Wuye also scratched his head: "I was thinking a few days ago that if we raise an army and they don't resist, it would be difficult for us. The Marshal is unreasonable and has exposed his strength. But who would have thought that they would also rise up in arms. Hey, the Marshal's rebellion was authorized by the emperor, why did they rise up in arms?"

"It's a rebellion."

The two of them burst into laughter again. Anyway, the last cloud in their hearts had dissipated. All that was left was the manly work: fighting. It was fun!
However, Mr. Shan Wu now truly admires Xia Lin. He had only heard about it from others before, but now he sees it with his own eyes. Four hundred thousand people is a huge number, but he has arranged them in an orderly manner without any confusion, and there are different improvements every day.

I watched those originally ragged people quickly recover to a fairly good condition in just a few days, and then slowly become healthy again. Then, this almost uninhabited area of ​​a hundred miles was filled with the sounds of reclamation and shouts, as well as the sound of banging pots for cooking.

Shan Xiongxin had been a bandit since he was young, had been a leader, had changed his name to become a soldier and fought in the national war, and had also worked in the county, but he had never seen such a capable person before.

More importantly, he really didn't see Xia Lin put a penny in his pocket. Except for a special stove for meals, that was because his wife came. It's impossible for a rich man to compete with a soldier for food, right? It's unreasonable. But before the prince came, he ate from the same pot as everyone else.

Shan Xiongxin felt that if such a person could not accomplish anything, then it would be God’s fault.

"Hey!" Shan Xiongxin was still in a daze. Xia Lin suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "If His Majesty really dies before the New Year, then won't they take advantage of the situation to establish their own regime?"

"But if your majesty dies, the capital will probably be in chaos and there will be no time to take care of other things. I'm afraid the whole Wei will be in chaos."

Xia Lin pursed his lips and said, "No, I have to go to the capital."

Shan Xiongxin nodded: "We have to go. If the Marshal can stabilize the situation, the people will not have to suffer so much."

"Forget it." Xia Lin said and shook his head again: "It's useless for me to go. There are also people over there to stabilize the situation. Besides, I hate to see separation."

After saying that, he stroked his chin and said, "Should I talk to the Li family?"

"The Marshal is going to Chang'an?"

"Yes." Xia Lin nodded: "It's time, it's time to contact Li Yuan. After all, there will be a big chaos here, which will really give the Li family too much stimulation. I'm afraid they will be stressed, so I must go to the Li family in person before starting."

"Marshal, will the Li family detain you?"

"It's possible." Xia Lin nodded vigorously: "But it's okay, I have connections in the Li family."

"The Li family also has it?"

"Yes, and we are close friends."

After that, they talked for a long time. In fact, they mainly talked about their plans after the world was peaceful. Xia Lin said that he just wanted to stroll on the street every day and flirt with pretty girls when he saw them. It was not a bright and lofty dream. Shan Xiongxin laughed and said that Xia Lin was really elegant, because Xia Lin did not need to force himself, and he could rely on his own ability. That was the real ability. Things that were consensual were not considered bad. On the contrary, he had seen many people who bullied men and women, but in fact, they were just little Karami. Compared with Xia Lin, his status and position were not much different from those of stray dogs on the roadside.

"Besides this, what else did the Marshal say?"

"Hmm..." Xia Lin raised his head and thought for a moment: "Help my teacher recruit more disciples, the more the better, so that this path can continue after I die."
