When the sun was high in the sky, Chenxi finally woke up, stretching out his arms.
I've been busy with a lot of things these past few days.
The affected villages, including Wangjiazhuang, have all undergone rectification.
The recruitment results for Qiaozhen have been released.
Shen Xi personally summoned Mu Fanzheng and asked, "Would you be willing to go to a military academy to study?"
Mu Fan's eyes widened.
He had heard about the military school in the county town long ago.
It's newly established, but the recruitment process is extremely rigorous.
The recruitment of students was personally overseen by County Magistrate Song Zhen.
I heard that if you study well there, you can become a military officer or a technician. Even as a technician, you can get a good title and good benefits.
Mu Fan nodded hurriedly.
Shenxi said, "You still need to go back and ask your parents. As long as they agree, you can enroll in the military academy."
Mu Fanzheng's face stiffened: "My mother won't let me go to the military camp."
Shenxi replied, "It's just going to a military school to study, not necessarily to the battlefield. It depends on what you want to do."
Mu Fanzheng finally relaxed. His family was well-off, and if he had a promising future, his parents would probably be willing to let him go to school.
Shenxi instructed Zheng Ankang: "Ankang, send someone to escort Fanzheng back."
"Yes, sir."
Zheng Ankang understood that Shen Xi was sending someone to follow Mu Fanzheng and persuade his parents.
So he sent two eloquent guards to accompany Mu Fanzheng home.
When Mu Fanzheng's parents heard that the leader had sent someone to bring their son back, they were immediately startled.
"This brat got into trouble?"
This was the first recruiter to be accompanied back by someone assigned by the leader.
Father Mu picked up a carrying pole, ready to hit Mu Fanzheng, and cursed, "Have you caused any trouble?"
Mu Fanzheng, with his excellent skills, jumped and dodged it.
"Father, Father, stop! The commander sent me to study at a military academy. He asked these two officers to come back with me and tell you."
Mr. Mu was stunned.
Can my own little one really go to a military school?
The village has been promoting it for days; the military academy is a school for training generals and commanders!
Could our family produce a general or marshal?
When Mu Fan was thinking of joining the army to seek fame and fortune, his father agreed.
A real man should seize this rare opportunity and work hard!
However, Mu's mother refused.
With only one son, how could Mother Mu possibly agree to this?
Even when it came to military schools, Mu's mother hesitated.
Although she was somewhat afraid of the two guards, she still asked for her son's sake: "After you graduate from military school, will you go to the battlefield?"
The two guards were chosen by Zheng Ankang; they were very good at reading people.
It was obvious that Mu's father was willing; it was just that Mu's mother was hesitant.
A guard smiled and invited Mother Mu to sit down: "Don't worry, whether you go to the battlefield or not, my commander won't force you. After you finish your studies, you can become a military instructor, a scientific and technological researcher researching weapons, or even a local armed personnel in the rear. It's all up to you."
Mother Mu was relieved, but still asked, "Was my son Fanzheng really sent to study by the chief?"
The guard replied, "Of course, the commander said that Young Master Mu is exceptionally intelligent and suitable to study at a military academy."
Upon hearing that the leader held her son in such high regard, Mu's mother was overjoyed.
"Alright, alright. Since the commander agrees, Fan Zheng, go pack your things and head to military school!"
When Mu Fanzheng saw that his mother had agreed, he jumped for joy.
I happily went to pack my things.
You don't need to bring too much stuff, because everything is free at the military school, and they even give you some pocket money every month.
The guard smiled and said, "No need to rush, Young Master Mu can return to the county town with the commander in three days."
"Is the commander going back?"
The guard nodded. It wasn't a secret; he could tell.
Father Mu was truly reluctant to see the leader return. Since the leader came to Qiaozhen, the changes he brought to Qiaozhen were obvious.
Every child, as long as they are willing to work hard, is eligible to apply for the job.
They also sent several female teachers to specifically educate young girls and young wives, so that these girls would not be unwilling to study with the men and thus delay their ability to learn to read.
What right do we have not to support such a leader?
Shenxi will leave in three days, mainly because Qi Xiuwen will not be back for about two more days.
Without Qi Xiuwen by his side, Shen Xi was busy with official duties.
Despite Xing Xiuyan's help, the difference between a novice and a veteran is obvious.
News came from the front lines that Qi Xiuwu, along with Feng Tao, had swept through the bandit stronghold in Xiahe County, which bordered Bian'ai County, with unstoppable momentum.
They advanced directly towards the county seat of Xiahe County.
Shenxi felt quite comforted.
Qi Xiuwu wrote a very boastful letter, saying that he had killed more than a dozen bandits all by himself.
He also praised Feng Tao.
It is said that Feng Tao was a true military talent, extremely brave on the battlefield.
Shenxi thought to herself that she was lucky.
In the process of capturing Bian'ai County, they even managed to recruit a talented general.
Xing Xiuyan changed the tea in Chenxi's cup and handed over the new tea: "Chief, this is freshly brewed this time, please have a taste."
Shenxi smelled it and nodded repeatedly: "This time it's much better than the first time."
Xing Xiuyan said with a smile, "Good technique is one thing, but this time we used the best tea to make it."
Shenxi laughed too. Previously, the cheapest tea cakes had been used for processing and frying, just to let those tea masters practice.
