Chapter 64 Lord Lu is a scumbag

Another reason Lu Chenyang wanted to expand his army was because there were too many dangerous people in Yanquan County. He had already recruited many of them into the Yanquan Escort Agency, and many of them were extremely vicious. These people were dangerous and might come out to rob people again at any time, so he simply threw them all into the military camp.

The military camp is the best shelter, let Yan Xing worry about it.

When Yan Xing heard Lu Chenyang's plan, he looked at him deeply.

No one knew better than him that Yanquan County didn't need to expand its military. But why was Lu Chenyang so anxious? With the financial situation so tight, why expand the military?

"How much will it expand?" Yan Xing asked.

Lu Chenyang said nonchalantly, "Let's expand the army by 2,000 first. I don't think it's enough. There are too many people in the city." After a pause, he said, "But the expansion is just an external announcement. You have to manage these people separately and they won't be on the garrison's roster. Their food and fodder must also be provided separately and won't count towards the garrison's food and fodder quota."

Lu Chenyang explained it so clearly, if Yan Xing still didn’t understand, he would be a fool.

What did Lu Chenyang call this? He called it garrisoning troops! Two thousand at a time? And that number wasn't certain yet; it was definitely more than that.

Who would want to station troops?

Yan Xing stared at Lu Chenyang for a long while. Lu Chenyang was not panicked and let him look at it openly.

Just when Lu Chenyang thought Yan Xing would say something, he nodded: "I understand, I will arrange it."

Yan Xing turned and left. Lu Chenyang looked at his back and muttered, "Ah, so cunning, so patient."

Yan Xing certainly remained calm, after all, these people were in his hands.

The recruitment process went smoothly, and some jianghu people, feeling they had no future, were willing to join the army. After all, things were not easy in Yanquan County right now. Lu Chenyang's use of jianghu people to manage jianghu people was a brilliant move. The risk of committing crimes was too great now. They came to Yanquan County to escape, not to die.

So many people from the martial arts world simply went to the military camp to join the army. As Lu Chenyang expected, the 2,000 vacancies were not enough and they were quickly filled up. In the end, more than 4,000, nearly 5,000 people were recruited.

Yan Xing held the list and his eyes flashed.

There are more than 5,000 of them, almost all of whom are agile people. Such people have a greater chance of surviving on the battlefield.

Two months passed in a blink of an eye.

Today is a big day. Lu Chenyang got up early and changed into his official uniform. Looking at himself in the mirror, he was still handsome and handsome. He nodded with great satisfaction.

Because today is the day when the county school is completed and the day when external enrollment begins is announced.

Lu Chenyang attached great importance to it and visited the county school in person. It was he who proposed the name of the county school.

The county school was very large. Shen Shiqian knew that he valued it, so he invested a lot of money in it. The classrooms and dormitories of the county school were built to be spacious and bright. Anyway, Lu Chenyang was very satisfied after seeing it, and sold two shops to Shen Shiqian.

When he arrived at the county school, Lu Chenyang greeted the merchants who had invested in the school and expressed his gratitude for their contributions to the county school.

Shen Shiqian arrived a little late, but he didn't come alone. He was followed by two large carts loaded with books.

Shen Shiqian said: "Sir, I ordered some books that I wanted to donate to our county school. The road was not easy to travel, but fortunately they were delivered today. I went to receive the goods, so I was late. Please forgive me."

Lu Chenyang was overjoyed: “Oh, Mr. Shen, you’ve really wasted money.”

Zhao Tingyuan next to him: “…” Damn, I learned it, you flatterer!

Shen Shiqian smiled shyly: "I heard from Lord Lu that the county school is free, and any child of school age can come to study, and the expenses must be borne by the adults. After hearing this, I admired him very much, and naturally I want to do my best for the children of our Yanquan County."

When this news came out, the entire Yanquan County was shocked. It was even more shocking than when Lu Chenyang signed a peace treaty with the Dongyi people.

Lu Chenyang wants all children between the ages of seven and fifteen in Yanquan County to be able to go to school, and it’s free! Free!

The county school not only provides paper, ink, pens and inkstones, but also two meals a day!

What a huge expense this is!

When Shen Shiqian received this news, he almost thought Lu Chenyang was crazy. Then he knew that Lu Chenyang was really doing it for the good of the people and really wanted the children to be able to study.

So he decided to order a batch of books at that time, including "Three Character Classic", "Thousand Character Classic", "Analects of Confucius", etc., all of which are books for enlightenment.

Sure enough, it touched Lu Chenyang's heart!

Zhao Tingyuan copied the homework, "Sir Lu, our Zhao family is also willing to donate a batch of four treasures of the study!"

Lu Chenyang was deeply moved and praised the two of them again and again without hesitation.

The two of them were so flattered that their faces flushed with pride. They also praised Shen Shiqian and Zhao Tingyuan so much that they agreed to prepare a cook for the county school. Even the meals were provided by both families at the lowest price.

The other merchants watched and thought that Lu Chenyang was really capable. With just a few words of praise, he made two people willingly pay money. This was really amazing.

This is Lord Lu's usual style of doing things. He can say sweet words and coax people, but he can't spend money. He is a complete scumbag.
