In a chaotic world, border soldiers begin their journey by enlisting in the army and getting married

Chen Shan quickly got up, covered Zi Xian with the blankets, and then left the room.

In the courtyard, Chen Shan stretched out his body, his face relaxed.

Now, as the Left Commander-in-Chief of the Five Military Commissions, he has many more duties to attend to.

However, given Chen Shan's personality, he would never do anything complicated and thankless.

Therefore, apart from bringing in his own people, he basically did not make any changes to the management of the Governor's Office.

Anyway, above the Five Military Commands is the Southern Slaughter King, who is the emperor.

They can make whatever arrangements they want; Chen Shan doesn't need to worry too much.

"Husband, what strange noises were there last night?"

As soon as Chen Shan came out, Mo Yiyao came up to him, clearly very curious about how Zi Xian had addressed him last night.

After all, her room was right next door, so she heard everything most clearly. That night, she kept calling him "Dad," and she got more and more excited.

"What strange noise is that? Don't go asking around if you have nothing better to do."

"Just focus on doing your job well."

Chen Shan wouldn't explain to her; if this girl told her, the other women would know in an instant.

She's a typical shrew at home, and with her quirky personality, Chen Shan can't handle her.

"Hmph, fine, I won't say it then. It's true that new love is better than old love."

"I never expected you to be such a jerk. I'm going to get my girlfriends to ostracize you."

Mo Yiyao crossed her arms, looking quite self-righteous.

Seeing her playful appearance, Chen Shan couldn't help but step forward and pinch the girl's cheek, his hand exploring her cheeks without restraint.

"You, get out of my way."

"I don't want to do morning exercises with you."

Mo Yiyao was so uncomfortable from Chen Shan's antics that her face turned red, and she quickly pushed Chen Shan away.

If Chen Shan is allowed to continue like this, things will get really troublesome.

"Hey, you're already starting to complain, aren't you?"

Chen Shan patted Mo Yiyao's bottom, thinking that this girl was so clever and quirky that she dared to say anything and anything.

"Hmph, serves you right for not telling me."

Mo Yiyao looked up with an arrogant expression, as if she were right.

Chen Shan couldn't do anything about her either.

After spending a lot of time together, they started to pick up some of the things Chen Shan said and the words he used.

Subtly, they became less dogmatic.

"Let's get down to business. I have a technique here, although it's not closely related to mechanical arts, it's still pretty good."

"It can make city walls and houses more robust and easier to build."

"Take a look at this later; I'm preparing to give it to the imperial court."

Upon hearing Chen Shan's words, Mo Yiyao stopped her playful antics and instead looked at him with curiosity.

Chen Shan always manages to come up with something new, and these are all technologies she has never seen before.

This is also what attracts her the most.

"This technology exists?"

"Let me see it quickly."

Mo Yiyao hurriedly stepped forward, looking eager.

Chen Shan didn't waste any time and immediately presented his technology.

While it's described as technical, it's essentially a book that records the production and uses of concrete, making it quite comprehensive.

Mo Yiyao watched, completely absorbed.

Even Liu Ruyu and the others came over out of curiosity.

"My lord, you actually know this kind of method."

"Now, although some of the palaces in the seven kingdoms are quite impressive, they are still too expensive and luxurious for ordinary people to afford."

"Therefore, most of them are made of stones mixed with wood, and the materials used are extremely poor. Any natural disaster or man-made calamity will cause the houses to collapse."

"This concrete is indeed excellent."

Xu Sijing was indeed a great scholar, and her understanding of issues was quite thorough. After only a cursory glance and understanding the function of the concrete, she had already connected it to many other things.

"That's right, but it won't be easy to put it into practice. Once it's introduced, it will most likely be controlled by the civil service group and even the aristocratic families behind them."

"It will directly become a tool for them to profit from."

Chen Shan was well aware of this.

Those civil officials were no pushovers. Anything of value that fell into their hands became a tool for profit, and they wouldn't miss out on it in the slightest.

"Since you knew this, why did you still give it to the court?"

Xu Sijing looked at Chen Shan with some confusion. She knew very well that Chen Shan understood the situation in the court, and under these circumstances, this was tantamount to giving benefits to the civil service group.

This kind of thing seems like a thankless task, since the civil service group won't be polite, much less praise them.

How could a group of profit-driven people do anything that shows gratitude to others?

Xu Sijing considered herself to have a fairly good understanding of the great Confucian scholars and civil officials of today.

Upon hearing Xu Sijing's words, Chen Shan immediately laughed and said, "That's not something I should be concerned about."

"I'm just a Left Vice-General, not some high-ranking official in the court. I don't need to worry about anything else."

"As for the civil officials, I don't care what they do. If they really offend me, I'll just kill them."

"No matter how many troublesome problems there are, killing them will solve them."

Chen Shan's words were very straightforward, and this was the best solution, which was also one of the advantages of Chen Shan liking this feudal era.

Many things don't need to be debated as right or wrong.

Might makes right.

Therefore, these factors were not within Chen Shan's considerations, nor did he need to consider them.

Xu Sijing was slightly taken aback, but she didn't think Chen Shan's methods were too crude; on the contrary, they were quite appropriate.

"That's true, reasoning with them won't work."

"Since you have made arrangements, then let us do as you say."

Xu Sijing didn't ask any more questions.

Chen Shan made arrangements, and they just had to obey. Although Chen Shan respected their thoughts and opinions, they were not arrogant people and naturally wouldn't cause trouble.

"Besides this, these books are also good. Sijing, take them to the academy and let the great scholars who teach there take a look. They can also teach them appropriately."

"As for how much they can accept, that's up to fate."

The elementary school curriculum is not troublesome. For those great scholars, understanding it is not difficult. The difficulty lies in the impact on their conceptual understanding.

If we are more open-minded, it will be easier to accept.

"This? Was it written by my husband?" Xu Sijing looked at the books with a look of shock on her face.

She was especially horrified when she opened the book and looked at its contents.

The principles Chen Shan usually spoke of were already quite novel, but she never expected that the books he produced would be even more beyond her understanding of the Four Books and Five Classics.

In reality, the Four Books and Five Classics in this world are not the same as those in the history Chen Shan belongs to; there are some differences between them.

The new knowledge provided by the system from these books is a complete revolution in knowledge.

"Well, I guess so. It's just my personal opinion. Take a look at it yourself first, and then you can submit it to the academy later."
