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

"Chen Shan, you really have a sharp tongue. Aren't you afraid Kong Qingzhi will cause you trouble?"

Nan Tu Rou was also surprised that Chen Shan dared to speak so openly about Kong Qingzhi.

I thought he was just gossiping behind my back at most.

Now, in front of so many people, not only did he make Kong Qingzhi lose face during the sparring match, but he also directly insulted him. He really has a lot of nerve.

"What's there to be afraid of? I'm barefoot, why would I be afraid of someone wearing shoes?"

"At worst, we'll just add another country to this chaotic world of seven kingdoms."

"A country that allows civil officials to wield military power will not go far."

Chen Shan didn't seem to care at all, but his words silenced Nan Tu Rou. She wasn't shocked by Chen Shan's suggestion of adding another country.

After all, in the chaotic era of the Seven Kingdoms, with foreign tribes at the borders, establishing a new kingdom was as difficult as climbing to heaven.

The key point is Chen Shan's mention of civil officials wielding military power.

Even Chen Shan, a hunter from a village, could see it clearly, yet the imperial court continued to protect it.

Thinking about this, Nan Tu Rou couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Alright, you guys eat first. The deficit camp deserves a lot of credit."

"I will be sending other battalions to patrol the border soon; you will continue your training."

Nan Tu Rou did not stay any longer, and left the Red Badger Camp after giving her instructions.

After this victory celebration, the status of the Deficit Battalion rose dramatically, and many soldiers from other battalions even wanted to join it.

Although Chen Shan was a commander of a thousand men and in charge of the deficit battalion, he had little interest in these trivial matters and left them to Xiao Zhen.

Inside Chenshan Barracks.

"Husband, you've accomplished such a great feat this time, will you be promoted?"

"Won't this mean I'll have to manage a lot of people?"

Liu Ruyu looked on with curiosity. Among the four women, she had the least experience and knowledge, but she was also the most simple and honest.

Since following Chen Shan, she has seen too much.

Their curiosity naturally grew stronger.

"It's hard to say. A captain needs a lot of military merits; it's not that easy."

"However, the reward should be quite substantial."

"When the time comes, we'll go to the capital, buy a house, and our family will have a place to stay."

Chen Shan said.

Besides helping Xiao Ningning and the others, Chen Shan had also considered other options.

Staying in the military camp was fine for him, a grown man, but it was inconvenient for his family.

Constantly wandering like this is becoming quite a hassle.

For them, there was no need to return to Kaoshan Village.

"It's not easy to buy a house in the capital, my husband. I think you should consider when you can be transferred to the capital for a post. That would be more appropriate."

"The imperial court can arrange housing then, which will save a sum of money."

As Chu Yiren spoke, it was clear that she was quite familiar with the situation of the imperial court, even more so than Xiao Ningning.

"This is not easy; we don't have many connections."

"Let's take it one step at a time. There probably won't be any fighting in Guanmochi City in the short term, and it won't be easy to earn military merits."

Although Chen Shan really wanted to earn more military merits, such things were inherently uncertain.

Some soldiers are unwilling to fight because they are afraid of dying, but it's a different story for those who want to get promoted and become superior.

"It's truly remarkable that you, sir, were promoted to the rank of commander of a thousand households in less than six months!"

"Many people can't even reach the 1,000-household level after several years."

In contrast, Xiao Ningning was quite satisfied with Chen Shan and was glad that he had chosen her.

He became a commander of a thousand households in less than half a year, and I believe he will be promoted even faster in the future. Perhaps there is really hope for him to overturn the case against the Xiao family.

"If you ask me, sisters, don't rush your husband. There will be plenty of opportunities. I think we should try to earn more money. I've heard that it's expensive in the capital."

"These military pay and rewards are still not enough."

Wang Xiaoya was deep in thought, wondering when she could return to her old profession.

Seeing that the four women each had their own ideas, Chen Shan also laughed.

"You only have one husband, so take your time, we have plenty of time."

"I will not go back on my promise to you."

Chen Shan knew that the three women all had some past experiences, so he was making preparations.

"Xiaoya, I'll talk to General Nan Tu later and see if he can help me find out about your parents. Maybe they're still alive."

Wang Xiaoya was a merchant. In the Xia Kingdom, and even among the Seven Kingdoms, merchants had a very low status. In the social hierarchy of scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants, merchants were always the prey on the tables of the powerful and wealthy.

It is easily affected.

The same applies to Wang Xiaoya's family; it's unknown whether her parents are alive or dead after being imprisoned.

All Chen Shan could do was try his best to help her find her whereabouts; it would be best if she were still alive.

"My lord..."

Chen Shan's words filled Wang Xiaoya with gratitude.

Having learned business from her father since childhood, she has seen all sorts of people and knows very well that businessmen do not have a high social status. Among the four women, she is actually the most insecure.

But Chen Shan treated them all equally.

In ancient times, Liu Ruyu was Chen Shan's first wife, and logically she should have been the legal wife, while the other three could only be concubines.

But in Chen Shan's case, it was completely different.

[Wang Xiaoya's favorability +2]

Wang Xiaoya's favorability rating: 100 (Unwavering until death)

[Ding! Wang Xiaoya's favorability has reached 100. Congratulations, host, you have received a big gift pack!]

Hearing the system notification, Chen Shan didn't rush to check, but instead looked at the four women.

"What you need to do is live well. I will take care of the rest. Although we now have a place to live in Mochi City, the army is highly mobile and we don't know when it will move."

"Therefore, we must always be prepared."

Chen Shan reminded them that in case of an emergency or if the Red Brick Battalion needed to be mobilized, he wouldn't be able to take care of the four of them at all times.

"Don't worry, my lord. Although we are women, we are not incapable of doing anything."

"I'm no worse than that Nan Tu Rou."

Xiao Ningning said with a haughty expression.

Chen Shan found it amusing as well.

Speaking of which, it's really hard to raise Nan Tu Rou's favorability rating.

It's not easy to gain favor with a woman like that, so he can only take it one step at a time for now.

Late at night, after losing a one-on-four battle due to insufficient skill, Chen Shan had no choice but to focus his attention on the gift pack.

Another favorability rating has reached 100, and I've received a big gift from the system.

Chen Shan was very curious: if he had a baby in the future, would the system also give him a big gift package?

After all, it's a system for developing a family.

"Open the gift pack."

Without further hesitation, Chen Shan immediately opened the gift package.

I'm curious to see what kind of surprise this big gift package will bring me.

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained a Red Hare horse and a repeating crossbow!]

Looking at the rewards from the gift package, Chen Shan wasn't too surprised; it was a decent improvement.

Red Hare, the best horse, the best man, Lü Bu.

Chen Shan already possesses the strength of a six-stone warrior, which is a good match for Red Hare. It's just a matter of when he can find a godfather to play with.
