Bai Yang and Jia Xu waited in Heiyun Village for a day, and the next afternoon, Zhou Cang and his group arrived at Bai Yang's residence.

The few people were quite formal, and the ten brothers and brothers were lined up to kneel down for Bai Yang; "Sir, after careful consideration by a few of us, our Heiyun Village will be with you in the future."

"In recent years, we have led Heiyun Village to do something that harms the world in this ten miles and village. We have robbed the landlords and gentry several times before. Zhou Cang alone takes care of what he wants, and it has nothing to do with other brothers." Zhou Cang said here and looked at the brothers around him.

"I just hope that the lord will not make things difficult for the other brothers on the mountain. They are all kind people. Zhou Cang pays homage to his lord here." As soon as Zhou Cang finished speaking, Pei Yuanshao and other brothers kowtowed and said, "Go to his lord."

"Brothers, please get up quickly, please get up quickly." Bai Yang said, helping everyone up and saying, "In my opinion, you are not robbers or bandits, but real heroes. In recent years, the officials have not been artificial and have caused everyone to become bandits. However, since they met Bai, they will definitely let you learn to the extreme, make achievements, and marry and have children. Zhou Cang, let's go to Juyitang to chat."

"Okay, let's go to Juyi Hall."

Zhou Cang and other brothers, Jia Xu and Bai Yang came to Juyi Hall. Bai Yang lived in the high hall, Jia Xu sat first in the left hand and Zhou Cang sat first in the right hand.

After everyone sat down, Bai Yang said, "Zhou Cang, please introduce me to the situation of Heiyun Village."

"Yes, lord. There are more than 400 young and strong people in Heiyun Village, more than 130 children and elderly people. Among these people are 20 blacksmiths and carpenters, and the remaining ten of us brothers."

"Now, most young and strong people in the village use long spears as their main weapons. They can basically achieve one gun for each person and more than 50 single swords. As for our brothers, they each have their own weapons. Now the village lacks armor and war horses. As for food issues, the ones transported from the county town two days ago can last for more than half a month, and there is nothing else."

Zhou Cang explained the basic situation of Heiyun Village. There were quite a few people, and there were more than 500 people in total, but only about 400 people could fight, which was similar to what Jia Xu said at that time. However, if you find ways to manage these old and weak people, you can do some things.

When Bai Yang went up the mountain yesterday, he probably looked at the young and strong people on the mountain. He may have been malnourished for a long time. It can be said that he is in very poor condition. Even some new recruits who have just joined the army in later generations are not as good as those in later generations. Of course, it is a bit insulting the word "soldier". They are all so lazy that they are out of shape and have no discipline. Only these few brothers have a strong prestige, otherwise it would be a problem whether they can command the movement.

"Do these young and strong trained normally?"

"In the past, I had regular training, but during this period, I stopped training because of food problems. After all, I couldn't eat enough and couldn't train, and training was particularly consuming food."

"Well, I understand, let's do it. You brothers and two of you are leaving to go up the mountain to rectify and wait for my notice to prepare for the downhill. Especially those blacksmiths and carpenters, this is a treasure, so you must protect them. As for the rest of your stay, let's go to the county town with me tomorrow."

"Yes, lord."

Seeing that the matter was almost arranged, Bai Yang stood up and returned to his residence with Jia Xu, thinking about the matter of going to the county town to hand over government affairs.

In the evening, with the noise, Bai Yang woke up from his thoughts.

After walking out of the room, he saw Jia Xu walking towards him and asked quickly: "Wenhe, what's going on?"

"Lord, I heard from you that Brother Futong and his younger brothers were taking a few younger brothers down to patrol the mountain just now, and Brother Zhuyan met Brother Zhuyan. He heard that Futong said that you were still on the mountain, so he came up the mountain with Brother Futong. Now it is probably about to arrive."

Sure enough, as soon as Jia Xu finished speaking, he heard Fu Tong shouting: "Lord, brother Zhu Yan is here."

Then I saw a few people walking into the yard embracing each other. The person in charge was Fu Tong, Zhu Yan and Zhu Lao.

"Old Zhu, you are here, please come in quickly." Bai Yang walked into the house with Old Zhu's arm.

"Xiaoyang, you kid, you become a high-ranking official in a blink of an eye, and you have a promising future." As he said that, Zhu Lao raised his thumbs up and said, "But you don't have to spend so much money. You can take me to the county town from afar. I can't help much at such an age, it's the same there."

"What you said, Zhu Yan followed me to the county town, don't you come and have a look. We are all young and frivolous, and you are at ease."

"Haha..., just raise my old man, but I'm sure Xiaoyan can follow you and I'm sure. From now on, you'll be his brother. If there is anything wrong, just beat him up. It's okay." After Zhu Lao said that, he glanced at Zhu Yan next to him.

Zhu Yanlian said, "I must be good. I will do whatever my brother Yang asked me to do. But Brother Yang, I want to be a general, can I lead troops to fight?"

Looking at Zhu Yan's expectant eyes, Bai Yang laughed and said, "What's the difficulty? As long as you follow Brother Yang to learn well, Brother Yang will let you be a marshal and you can command the troops. Haha..."

As they were talking, the few people showed happy smiles. In fact, if Zhu Yan didn't say anything, Bai Yang would also let him lead troops to fight. In the Romance, it was recorded that although Zhu Yan's martial arts were not particularly outstanding, he was a famous wise general in the Yellow Turban Army. Later, when he thought about the eternal and wise teacher Zhang Jiao's name was changed to Zhang Yan, he led the Black Mountain Army to a great reputation. How could such a good seedling be wasted?

"Brother Yang, I also want to lead the troops, and I also want to be a general." Hu Zhi also interjected, looking at everyone's expectant eyes, Bai Yang also knew everyone's thoughts.

Bai Yang also thought when he was a child, who would not want to lead troops to fight?

But now there is no war to fight first.

Second, there are no soldiers. I haven't even gone to hand over the county yamen runners now. Who knows what the situation in the county is now?

The third and most important thing is that from Bai Yang's perspective, these people are still a little short of the time to lead the troops, so they must be well trained. In the plan, they should cover their heads and develop well for some time, and fight against bandits in the county town for no reason, and develop well for a few years, waiting for the Yellow Turban Rebellion to break out.

However, he was not good at damaging everyone's enthusiasm, and said repeatedly: "Okay, look at everyone's enthusiasm, so in this way, Bai will open a military academy in the county town in the future. As long as you can graduate from it, you can lead troops to fight, okay?"

When everyone heard that they were going to school, some were happy and some were worried, and some felt that they still needed to go to school in war? They were not a strategist? Besides, they were not the same material as they were, so they probably got overwhelmed by the words.

Some people who are interested in learning think this is their chance, and they can finally learn calligraphy and become scholars. During this period, there was not much book knowledge completely controlled by aristocratic families, so if you can become scholars, you are superior.

"Lord, this is good, but everyone doesn't know a big word. The teaching process will probably be very long. Most of them have to be learned from the beginning, and there is no teacher to teach you." Jia Xu felt that this idea was indeed very good, but it was not easy to implement.

If this is really done, it will definitely have a great driving force for the later development of Baiyang's power. As long as there is a school, it means that you can cultivate talents by yourself, and the meaning will be completely different at that time.

"Wenhe, don't worry, I have my own way. I think it will be no problem to learn literacy in a month or two. After returning to the county town and getting familiar with the government affairs, we will start to do this."
