In less than two days, all officials from Changzhou were detained in prison. Three days later, a large pile of evidence was placed on Gu An's case under the open investigation and secret investigation of the Dragon Guard and the Secret Guard.

Gu An did not dare to be good at it, so he reported to Emperor Wen of Wei to request that all the prisoners be escorted back to Beijing. He copied a copy of the evidence of everyone's crimes and posted them on the public notice, and even took care of all the criminals' families and slaves. For a moment, the whole Changzhou was full of war. While the people were panicked, they also applauded and praised Gu An for making decisions for the people, not for personal gain or injuring the law, and simply locked up everyone.

At the same time, the recruitment work was also carried out smoothly under the auspices of Gu Yan and Luo Rongxuan. Cheng Lingyuan, Yao Sheng and Chu Yunzhong opened the first grocery store after arriving in Changzhou, and it also started to operate smoothly, with a considerable daily income.

Luo Rongxuan and Gu Yan were busy in the dark. First, they asked someone to set up a table and register at the city gate, and then sent people to run from villages, towns and towns to fulfill their identities.

Those who sign up must have a local village chief and about ten villagers to cover this insurance. There is no need to do anything else when it comes to coverage, and there is no danger. As long as you prove that this person is from their village or their neighbor, he is honest and responsible, not the kind of person who is not at home for many years and may become a pirate.

After recording the number and names of the people and visiting them from house to house, then count the grain and silver, then arrange the accommodation of these people, the military uniforms and weapons, and people have to teach them the laws of the Great Wei. Of course, this law is only for soldiers and the people. Just know a little, just know what you can do and what you can’t do, and what will happen. No matter how much you say, they won’t understand, so don’t make things difficult for others.

The smooth progress of Gu's conscription work is also due to what Gu An said in the restaurant. Now everyone in Changzhou knows what Hu Youliang did when he was here, knowing that he colluded with pirates and killed many innocent people, and a large number of people want to avenge their relatives and friends and go out to sea to kill pirates.

In addition, the Great Wei still treats soldiers who defend their country very favorably. They have enough five taels of silver to get every month. As long as they don’t die, they will be the silver that the soldiers have obtained in four or five years, plus the rewards and spoils they have obtained after winning the battle. It is still very feasible to buy 180 acres of land and marry a wife and live a good life after returning home.

So, Gu Yan and Luo Rongxuan were not worried about not having any soldiers to recruit, but instead worried about where so many people were going to arrange it.

Gu Yan and Luo Rongxuan recruited five days of soldiers in a row. Just when Gu An put all the officials and their families in Changzhou and reported them to Emperor Wen of Wei, the two of them had almost done their jobs.

Luo Rongxuan put thirty thick book books on Gu An's desk, patted the top one, and smiled at Gu An, "Dad, uh, general, here are 5,000 newly recruits. I plan to select 3,000 people here to supplement the navy, and select about 1,000 people as reserves. The rest will go home to be militias, patrolling and protecting villagers on a regular basis, and pirates can temporarily protect villagers even if they come ashore."

Gu An looked at Luo Rongxuan, then looked at Gu Yan who was silent on the side. He looked at Luo Rongxuan again with a meaningful look, and said with a smile: "Who gave you the idea? Tell me."

Don’t think of hiding me. I know the best thing about my daughter. What you said was all my daughter when she was on the border, using the army and local armed forces to fight against the barbarians who are all soldiers.

Luo Rongxuan blinked and pointed at Gu Yan and said, "My wife..., what the king told me, I think this is great. In addition to the navy, there can be post-replacement personnel. When there are heavy casualties and must-fight during combat, they can quickly replenish combat personnel and continue to fight to avoid defeat because there are too few combat personnel. Moreover, there are militias in each village, both civilians and soldiers. They can patrol and protect the villages in normal times. When the village is in danger, they can come out to fight to avoid more casualties. Isn't this great?"

Gu An looked at Gu Yan, and when he saw her calm and gentle look, he knew what Gu Yan was thinking.

Is this going to give her husband the credit? She is really an extrovert, but you have never thought that this method has been used in the border area?

Gu An shook his head secretly, but showed a satisfied smile at Luo Rongxuan.

No matter what, it is rare for him to express the benefits of doing this. Just let me praise him for a few words.

"You are right. Although this idea was made by Yan'er, you can understand the meaning of it. It is rare to make a response plan quickly. Brother Xuan, do it well and learn with Yan'er. The next step is to train recruits. This is a rare opportunity. You can also train with them and learn tactical strategies by the way. It will have countless benefits for you in the future.

However, I suggest you use your brain more when you encounter things. If we are not around you, you must make the most accurate judgment as soon as possible. This accuracy refers to a judgment that is beneficial to you and the entire army, rather than mixing personal feelings into it. This will make you lose your judgment and do things you regret based on your personal feelings.

You must remember that discipline is very important in the army. Without rules, you cannot be in a square order. You cannot let aside a certain person and something happens because of your personal feelings. You cannot be arbitrary, and you cannot be arbitrary. One person is a shortcoming, two people are a good match, listen to other people's opinions, accurately analyze which one is right and which one is wrong, and make a response quickly.

But you can't be soft-hearted. What others say is, you have to analyze from it which person is saying for your own good and who is saying is calculating you. This is difficult and requires attention. I hope you don't disappoint the emperor, don't disappoint Prince An, and don't disappoint Yan'er.

Brother Xuan, there are many things that are difficult to choose in life. You cannot hold everything in your own hands. Sometimes giving up is also possession, which may bring you many unexpected gains.”

Gu An said while observing Luo Rongxuan's expression. Seeing that he lowered his head thoughtfully and his eyes were a little straight, he knew that he had listened and was thinking.

Gu An did not worry about him, and asked him to analyze and judge by himself. He hoped that he could figure out many things through his words. His expectations for him were not just Prince An. He hoped that he could carry Prince An's mansion and build a hard security for his daughter, so that her daughter could live the life she wanted safely.

Gu An winked at Gu Yan, and the two of them slowly got up and left the study room and walked out of the yard.

The two stood outside the yard wall and looked at Luo Rongxuan who was still sitting in the study, looking at each other.

"Dad, he may not understand what you said."

"You have to understand even if you don't understand. There is not much time for him to grow up. He must grow up in a short time and prepare for the upcoming crisis."

The two of them looked at each other again, and sighed secretly.

I know what this means.

They were in Changzhou, as if they were far away from the center of the storm of fighting for the throne, but whether it was the capital or the states where the four princes were located, they were not peaceful.

When Duan King arrived in Mozhou, it was drought. In the golden autumn of September, the whole Mozhou had no grains, the land was dry, and the well was hit a hundred meters underground without water. There were large fields of turtle fields everywhere. The number of people who were killed by the sun and burned by the sun rose sharply, and by the end of August, thousands had already reached.

After King Duan arrived in Mozhou, he did not go to inspect the affected villages and visited the affected people. Instead, he took the opportunity to take the military power of Mozhou into his hands. He invited Mozhou officials in the Mozhou government office every day, and merged with officials of all sizes from Mozhou.

Although King Duan had already controlled Mozhou in his hands, it seemed that this was the case on the surface, but the military power was still in the hands of the General of Mozhou. Now the General of Mozhou is only King Duan Ma Shizhan, so it would be difficult to get the military power back in the future.

King Rui went to Tongzhou, where the waterways were well connected, from south to north, from east to west, all of which were seven or eight routes passed through this place. Therefore, Tongzhou had great trade and many shops. After King Rui arrived there, he colluded with the Tongzhou Magistrate as his concubine and opened more than 20 shops together. Among them, the magistrate of Tongzhou paid 90% of the remaining King Rui paid a little, and the profit was all owned by King Rui, providing a steady stream of money for his future career.

King Kang was still honest after arriving in Fengzhou. He did not have much contact with Fengzhou magistrates, but went to Fengzhou's most famous Fengtai Academy. He asked for teaching and asked questions with the professors there every day, and even lived in the academy. He talked about the past and present with the students who were about to take the scientific examination, and expressed his opinions, so that those idiots who had not been in the court would appreciate it greatly, and all of them would be attracted to him as a confidant. If this continues, within ten years, as long as two scientific examinations are gone, a group of people in the court would follow King Kang to protect him from his position.

The King of Ning went to Xinzhou. Xinzhou was a newly divided state city after the founding of the Wei Kingdom. The population dropped sharply due to years of war and the northwest region was sparsely populated, so the three state cities were divided together and called Xinzhou.

Xinzhou is vast and sparsely populated, bordering Yunzhou, where the border is located. Because the border is full of wars, the prefecture city is established near Xinzhou and far away from the barbarians. Therefore, the two prefecture city are very close to each other, and can run back and forth in a day. Gu Yan once said that those who get New Zealand are equivalent to pinching the border to the throat of the capital.

After arriving in Xinzhou, King Ning ran to Yunzhou City for a stay. He visited the magistrate of Yunzhou every day, and competed with the general of Yunzhou, calling each other brothers. He could be said to be like fish in water.

Judging from the news about the four princes that have been obtained these days, none of them can deal with, and those with a lot of mind can be used as sieve.

The capital city is not peaceful. I heard that five groups of people have rushed into Ci'en Temple one after another. If it weren't for the Yulong Guard arranged by Emperor Wen of Wei, Yu Donghai would have died several times.

Gu An looked up at the sky, "Yan'er, has the letter from the capital?"

Gu Yan shook her head, "No."

Gu An sighed, lowered his head and smiled helplessly, "Forget it, there is good news."

It is inconvenient to have the Dragon Guard around you to monitor it, and it is difficult to say anything.

The father and daughter couldn't say it clearly, but they knew in their hearts what they were saying.

The God of Death has been gone for two months. Since he arrived in the capital more than a month ago, he has sent a letter to them. All kinds of news from the capital were transmitted by the God of Death. Now it has been ten days since he last heard about it, so he should be sending a letter soon.

The letter from Death came very quickly. In the morning, Gu An and his daughter talked about him. In the afternoon, after Luo Rongxuan walked out of the study, his letter arrived.

Gu An and his son sat in the study and burned the letter after reading it. They all remained silent. After a while, Gu An sighed and patted Gu Zhehan on the shoulder, "Go and see your teacher's wife!"

Gu An shook his head and left the study room with a sigh. Gu Yan frowned and looked at Gu Zhehan.

"Brother, don't bear any matters that have nothing to do with you. Don't forget that Mr. Yu is not just your disciple, and his death is not your fault."

Gu Zhehan's eyes turned red and looked at the bleak courtyard outside the window without saying a word.

"Brother, I know you feel uncomfortable, but no one wants to do this. Fortunately, half of the matter here in Changzhou has been completed, and Hu Youliang's evidence of his crime has been obtained. He will definitely die. Moreover, the secret guards who assassinated him have all destroyed the Yulong Guard, which can be regarded as avenging Mr. Yu."

He assassinated Yu Donghai under the emperor's nose several times and repeatedly provoked him. Can the emperor let you go without a temper? Just kidding! That is the lord of the world and the father of all people. He can watch Yu Donghai die without paying attention? After all, Yu Donghai is a great scholar of the world. Even for the sake of fame, the emperor will not let him go, let alone expose the heroes of Hu Youliang's actions.

Gu Zhehan felt so uncomfortable that Gu Yan couldn't persuade him any more. She knew that what Gu Zhehan needed was to stay alone for a while at this time.

Gu Yan went out. Before leaving, she looked at Gu Zhehan for the last time and took the door.

Gu Zhehan didn't eat dinner, Gu Yan heated the dinner three times with his own hands. When he placed the last time at the door of the study, he said coldly: "If you don't eat, I won't be hot anymore. It's not your kiss... Think about it carefully."

Gu Yan's steps were a little confused when she returned, and she was so upset that she wanted to slap herself twice.

He was so quick that he almost said the sentence "It's not that my own father died." If his father heard it, he would have to kill him.

Gu Yan's hot dinner was not moved at the entrance of the study room. Rong stared at it until midnight and had to go back to report to Gu Yan.

"The uncle didn't eat it, and he didn't come out."

Gu Yan sighed deeply, "You go and send someone to stare at Yu Donghai's house. If someone causes trouble for their family, try to help solve the problem."

Yu Donghai only married one wife in his life. He was not very loving to his wife, but he definitely respected his wife very much. The two of them could be regarded as a harmonious song. He gave birth to a daughter named Yu Qian, who was one year older than Gu Yan. He should have been married, but he didn't know why he has not decided to make a decision until now, and he is still in the boudoir.
