For the next period of time, Chen Xu and Chen Hu and his son went out early and returned late, and rode their horses to the town to train a group of teenagers in the Wild Wolf Valley every day.

The blacksmith shop and wooden workshop in the town cooperated to make some simple barbells and dumbbells and other fitness equipment. Liu Erwa also brought several apprentices to make a climbing wooden ladder and wall ladder that was more than three meters high on one side of the Wild Wolf Valley training ground, and installed some simple training equipment such as horizontal bars and parallel bars. With these things, the entertainment activities of the teenagers during training have also become richer and colorful.

Chen Xu personally led five commanders and more than ten village chiefs to conduct standard classification training every day, and also taught them to sing every day. After more than ten days, not only did they become more proficient in serving the country, but vulgar songs such as the big sedan chair and the hero song are even more popular. The sound of roaring in the valley is roaring all day long, and can be heard in Qinghe Town, several miles away.

After a while, Chen Hu was also fully familiar with Chen Xu's training method. Then, he added the military exercises he was familiar with before. In addition to the demarcation, he also learned simple swordsmanship and guns. He even borrowed a few longbows from the hunters in the town and taught some shooting training every day. Five hundred teenagers began to become more decent in his hands, and they trained like little tigers.

With strict training and various entertainment activities, the mental outlook of these teenagers also changes every day. With sufficient food guarantee, not only their complexion will improve day by day, but their training will also become more proactive. Han Xin was also arranged by Chen Xu to follow Chen Hu to the Wild Wolf Valley every day, practice and train together, and observe carefully. In the future, these teenagers may be given to Han Xin to lead.

The so-called brothers in war go into battle and father and son fight.

Although Chen Xu and Han Xin are not brothers, after observing this for half a month, Chen Xu found that Han Xin was indeed a very smart and studious boy. Although he was a little lazy and didn't like to do housework, he was casual about food and clothing, and did not pay much attention to etiquette, but he was very diligent, and he spoke and thought about problems in a very organized manner, which strengthened Chen Xu's determination to cultivate him well.

There are too few people around him who can trust, which is the embarrassing situation at present, especially when Yu Wuya will come back after leaving. He must find someone he can trust to help him do many things that are inconvenient to come forward.

Han Xin is the best choice now.

History records that Han Xin grew up in a poor family, he was indulgent and unceremonious. He didn't like to work and did not do business, so he often went hungry. He often had to rely on other people's charity to live. Once, he met a butcher taller than him on the street to humiliate him as a coward. If he didn't admit it, he would crawl under his crotch. After Han Xin looked at the other person's physique, he readily got into the other person's crotch. From then on, Han Xin became the target of everyone's jokes in the local area, and no one was willing to be friends with him. That humiliation under the crotch became a highlight of his endurance after he became famous.

This world is so fucked.

When you are not famous, it is a fart, but once you become famous, it is a good thing to lick the fuck. At least Chen Xu can't do such a humiliation under his crotch. He would rather not live than to slam the idiot and then punch his balls. But Han Xin actually got into the crotch, and this diamond made his legendary life, which was recorded in the history of China and passed down through the ages.

Many times, some people will use this sentence to motivate themselves: Han Xin is willing to be humiliated by the crotch, so can I.

As a result, many people lose their backbone, put their bottom line lower and lower, and their requirements for themselves are getting lower and lower.

Although Han Xin is smart and wise and has the talent of a general, in Chen Xu's opinion, there are still major flaws in character and quality.

And it must be more than just him to see it. Even the historical giants like Xiang Yu and Liu Bang were seen. Han Xin would not be reused if he first voted for Xiang Yu, and then voted for Liu Bang. If his friend Xiao He had not recommended it to Liu Bang repeatedly, and even staged a story about Xiao He chasing Han Xin under the moon, Han Xin would definitely be drowned in the history of the Chu-Han War and would not have any chance to stand out.

There is a famous saying that has been passed down through the ages that describes Han Xin, that is: Success is Xiao He and failure is Xiao He.

Han Xin's life was ups and downs, and finally died tragically. It can be said that it was caused by Xiao He. Xiao He not only discovered Han Xin, the general who assisted Liu Bang to conquer the country, and finally designed to kill him with Empress Lu. Ronghua's life and death were controlled by Xiao He, which has to be said to be his sorrow.

But there is a reason for the so-called sadness, that is, Han Xin's personality shortcomings, knowing the general trend but looking too stable, and he would rather endure insults and accept the title of cowards than be beaten. This kind of humiliating character was eventually designed by Xiao He to tempt him to capture him alive.

In fact, according to Han Xin's military ability, no one under Liu Bang could have done him. If he rebelled, the history of the Han Dynasty might be another direction.

Unfortunately, he is capable but has no mind, and does not have the ambition of Liu Bang and Xiang Yu to look down on the world and encompass the country.

Everyone who can achieve the foundation of an emperor is a courageous and resolute personality and unwilling to be humiliated.

King Goujian of Yue slept with firewood and tasted gallbladder, and finally had a bloody shame.

As soon as Qin Shihuang ascended the throne, he used the whole country's strength to fight against Zhao State, and almost dragged it until Qin State collapsed without any hesitation.

This is the difference between emperors.

But Han Xin's personality is exactly what Chen Xu likes the most and is easiest to control.

What's more, Han Xin and Ying Bu are different now, with different ages and identities. Ying Bu is an adult and has long been rebellious, so Chen Xu doesn't dare to reuse it, but Han Xin can let him train and use it as he pleases.

In recent days, Chen Xu has not gone to the Wild Wolf Valley, but has made black gunpowder at home.

Spring water containing potassium nitrate flows out from the cave in Wild Wolf Valley all year round, and a layer of nitroso soil condenses on the ground and rocks. Therefore, after Chen Xu left, Niu Dashi still arranged for people to boil potassium nitrate. At present, hundreds of kilograms were stored in the warehouse in the town.

In the past, paper mills used sulfur to smoke and bleach bamboo pulp paper, but because the white paper consumed more and more, it would be too wasteful to use natural sulfur. Therefore, Chen Xu changed the process and redesigned a new paper smoke and grill room. He built a small iron smelting furnace outside the smoke and grill room. He put hematite or red copper ore with a very large sulfur content into it and smelted. The sulfur dioxide produced was directly discharged into the smoke and grill room through the chimney, which could also achieve the bleaching effect. Moreover, the refined copper and iron can be transported to the iron smelting workshop for simple secondary processing and can be regarded as a qualified copper and iron, which can be regarded as the initial comprehensive recycling of industrial waste gas. Since this method was adopted, the cost of making white paper has dropped countless times, and a large amount of natural sulfur has been saved. Therefore, hundreds of kilograms of natural sulfur are still stored in the warehouse.

As for willow charcoal, it is not valuable at all. Go to the river beach to cut some annual willow branches, peel them, put them in a crucible, roast them in a closed and roast them into charcoal, and grind them into powder.

The place where the black gunpowder was made was placed in the laboratory next to three adobe brick houses that were built only the winter of the previous year.

Chen Xu hasn't seen it for more than twenty days after coming back this time.

Chen Xu had tried his best to sell the wild boar and the snake, and first asked the young and strong laborers in the village to build three thatched huts for more than ten days. Then he built a brick brick before the cold winter, and also built a large and hot kang. At that time, these three large brick brick houses were not only the pride of the entire Xiaohe Village, but also the object of envy and jealousy in the entire Xiaohe Village, because no one has built a new house in the entire Xiaohe Village for at least ten years.

But Chen Xu only spent a winter in this adobe brick house.

This year, when he came back at the turn of spring and summer, he married Shui Qingrou here, and spent the wedding night here. That night, Shui Qingrou finally became a couple in love, and also spent the most comfortable and peaceful period of life here.

Pushing open the closed door, and with a creaking sound, all the decorations and layouts in the room appeared in front of Chen Xu.

There are brand new bedding on the kang outside, which is still the same as when I left.

On the rough wooden table in front of the window, there were still models of ships, planes, cannons and cars he made by hand.

Even the laptop made of bamboo still looked like it was when it was opened, with two big words "swerving chicken" stamped on the screen.

Pull open the blinds, bright light and cool wind blow in from the window, rolling the air that had been silent for a long time in the room, and a faint familiar smell filled the room, as if a long and long memory had been opened in the past that had been covered with a hundred or even thousands of years.

"Chen Lang, what are these?"

"Chen Lang, these stories about the Gods List are really bizarre. Qingrou has never heard of it!"

"Chen Lang, Qingrou is willing to follow you, and will never let you down..."

...

"Thank you gentlely..."

"Husband, Qingru is really happy..."

In a trance, Chen Xu seemed to see a beautiful woman in a black dress chatting and laughing with him in the room, bowing to him, and being kind to him, but when he reached out to touch her, the beauty passed away with the wind, and there was only a silence in front of him.

"Greenrou, you said you would stay with me for the rest of your life and never let me down, but you ran away secretly and didn't call me. Do you know how much I miss you?"

Chen Xu slowly sat in front of the window, looking at the pen, ink, paper and inkstone still placed on the table, and looking at the double-happy word written by the two of them in their own hands on the mahjong paper.

Ying Shiman and Meng Wan walked in hand in hand, looking at the simple decorations of the room, and Chen Xu, who was sitting in front of the window in a daze.

"Husband, have you remembered Sister Shui again?"

Ying Shiman squatted down and gently held Chen Xu's hand. Meng Wan also walked over and stood beside her, reaching out to try to hold Chen Xu's other hand, but she was a little timid.

"Well, I was married to Qingrou here, and I was also here in the bridal chamber!" Chen Xu picked up Ying Shiman and put it on his left leg, then pulled Meng Wan over and sat on his right leg, holding his two gentle wives. Chen Xu felt a lot more at ease in his heart.

"Husband, what are these?" Meng Wan had never been so intimate with Chen Xu. Her cheeks were blushing and asked in confusion.

"These are all objects I saw from the three volumes of heavenly books. This one is called a ship. The largest one is a hundred feet long. All are made of steel. It can sail on the sea like a small island. It is also called an airplane. It can fly hundreds of people up to tens of thousands of feet a day. It is also called a carriage. It is actually similar to a carriage. It can speed on the road without human and animal power. It can run thousands of miles a day..."

Chen Xu took various models on the table to explain to Ying Shiman and Meng Wan, and also talked about many things that happened between building a house and even Shui Qingrou, including the initial contempt and misunderstanding.

"Sister Shui is really happy. She can spend such a peaceful and happy time with her husband here. So don't worry, Sister Shui will definitely not be willing to leave you, she will definitely come back!" Ying Shiman picked up a ship model and said softly.

"Yes, I told her so many good stories, sang so many good songs, and made so many delicious delicacies. If she didn't come, I felt that God would be blind!"

Chen Xu's curse method is very special, and God must have felt very wronged.

Your wife ran away and didn't come back to care about me!

But obviously Chen Xu would not curse his own wife, so God could only take the blame and hide in the corner of the wall to draw circles and vomit blood.

After telling Ying Shiman and Meng Wan the story between him and Shui Qingrou, he took two women to read the three houses inside and out, and even found a box of the Legend of the White Snake, the Conquest of the Gods and the Manuscript of Journey to the West, Ying Shiman and Meng Wan felt like they had treasured, and brought a box of books back to the new yard to read the story.
