Lin Chen smiled and nodded, then asked,"
"How did you end up in the City Defense Army? Didn't you pass the assessment at the military camp?"
It didn't matter if it was the Chen Wu he knew.
However, just this Rank-5 physique assessment, coupled with Chen Wu's performance today, was enough to give Lin Chen a reason to entrust him with an important task.
Hearing Lin Chen's question, Chen Wu scratched his head in embarrassment.
"My home is in Songzi County. The news from Wan County reached there relatively late. When I went to register, the military camp was already full.”
"It just so happened that we were going to recruit the City Defense Army at that time, so I signed up to join the City Defense Army.”
Lin Chen suddenly understood. Back then, Lin Chen's double pay and three meals a day rule had really mobilized the enthusiasm of countless outstanding young men in Lujiang.
Although Lin Chen's assessment later on had eliminated many people, only 3,000 people remained at the beginning.
He had almost missed out on a talent.
"How's your stamina? Have you mastered the trick to teaching?"
Lin Chen stepped forward. Although he had already made up his mind, he still had to let Chen Wu go through the necessary procedures.
He patted Chen Wu's shoulder. His body was quite strong, and he was wearing armor. He looked very energetic.
Chen Wu didn't know that he had already gained Lin Chen's recognition. He was very nervous.
From his conversation with Cao Cao, he could tell that he was Lin Chen's admirer. Now that Lin Chen was standing in front of him and talking to him, he was a little nervous.
He replied respectfully,
"According to the breathing method that you taught us, you will train our team every day. I have secretly tried it and can run about twenty laps.”
Chen Wu scratched his head in embarrassment. He was worried that Lin Chen would think that he was bragging.
She was a little nervous when she spoke, and her body was tense. She looked like she had met her idol.
"Twenty laps?"
Lin Chen muttered. It seemed that Chen Wu was the same as Dian Wei. This physique was innate, and his sixth-rank physique could not be stimulated bit by bit.
If he could cultivate it and knew the method of cultivating Qi, he would be able to do more than 20 rounds.
Sensing Chen Wu's strange behavior, he placed his hand on Chen Wu's shoulder and smiled.
"Would you like to go to the military camp to watch? I think you can run at least twenty-five laps.”
"Hmm?"
Chen Wu suddenly raised his head, unable to believe his ears.
"Why? Are you unwilling?"
Lin Chen asked with a smile.
"I'm willing! I'm very willing!"
How could Chen Wu not know that Lin Chen was testing him? There was no reason for him to miss it.
"Let's go to the military camp!"
Lin Chen patted Chen Wu's shoulder once again. As he spoke, he was about to head towards the military camp.
However, Chen Wu paused for a moment.
"Milord, may I first explain to my brothers?”
"Go ahead."
Looking at Chen Wu's expression, Lin Chen's smile grew wider. Even at a time like this, he did not forget his duty. It was good.
During this period of time, the bloody reform had caused the ten counties and Marquisate Kingdoms under the jurisdiction of Lujiang to undergo earth-shaking changes.
Lin Chen also made some changes to the deployment of the City Defense Army.
Each county would recruit 500 city guards, and the border counties would recruit 1,000 city guards.
Wan County was a county, and the number of city guards had increased from 500 to 1,000.
In an instant, the military strength of the entire Lujiang region added up to 10,000 people.
Looking at the world, this was actually not a small number.
This was also the reason why Lin Chen did not allow others to recruit more troops.
He had already recruited a lot. If he let others recruit more, then Lujiang's labor force would really be gone.
Every 100 people would form a large group, and every 10 people would form a small group. They would patrol the streets, maintain order, and check the people entering and leaving the city gates.
In a short twenty days, five days were spent killing and cleaning up the internal affairs. The remaining fifteen days were used to organize the ten counties and marquises. This was why Cao Cao saw this scene today.
There were fewer robbers and thieves on the streets and alleys. There were also no more people who fought, caused trouble, and acted tyrannically.
Some of the people who didn't dare to go out on normal days also stepped onto the streets. Many of the merchants in the towns and villages under their jurisdiction no longer had to worry about their things being stolen or destroyed. They gradually walked onto the streets again and set up stalls to sell their goods.
Some people also wanted to travel between the few counties and start small businesses.
In just half a month, the entire Lujiang had basically established the system framework of the other nine counties and Marquisate Kingdoms.
Of course, there was still a shortage of talents, and time was still too short.
It would take at least a few months, or even a year, to recover from this.
Fortunately, Lin Chen had decisively taken Qiao Song down back then. Otherwise, if these things piled up, it would probably drive him crazy.
In the past few days, Lin Chen had also heard about Qiao Song from Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao. Because there were too many things to do, Qiao Song complained at home all day long. He thought that Lin Chen would do this and that, and he was so busy.
Of course, Lin Chen did not treat the Qiao family unfairly.
His monthly salary had increased by more than ten times. Every day, he had to farm the rice, wheat, cabbage, and radishes from the super farm. Although he was a little tired, not only did his body not collapse, but the more he worked, the more energetic he became.
After eating these things, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao became even more lively and beautiful.
Of course, it wasn't just the Qiao family.
Lin Chen did not miss out on anyone who had contributed to Lujiang.
Even without the use of chemical fertilizers, the cabbage and white radish could produce 14,000 catties per mu every five days. The three plots of land combined were close to 60,000 catties.
Not only the officials of Lujiang, but also the soldiers in the military camp, including the City Defense Army, had cabbage, white radish, or both in every meal. In any case, they had to eat every meal.
In this era where it was good enough to have food, it saved Lin Chen a lot of trouble. In short, it was easy to raise.
