In the end, Chen's father was "persuaded" by Chen Baiqi. Of course, the success of this "persuasion" largely depended on Chen's father not believing that Chen Baiqi was capable of running a good government. This was not a fabrication by his father.

But believe it.

Although he has been busy with all kinds of "dandy depravity" in the past few years, privately he still cares deeply about his only seedling. He originally hoped to work hard to cultivate it into a noble lady in Pingling County.

A lady.

However, no matter how good a craftsman is, there is nothing he can do with a piece of rotten wood like her. Poems, songs, and writings can be forgotten if he is not good at etiquette. He took a different route and paid a lot of money to hire technicians from the Yue Kingdom to teach her piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

I tried to cultivate her sentiments and temperament, but it was of no use.

It was rare for her to learn how to lose everything, so he didn't believe that besides losing money, she also knew how to train soldiers.

Chen's father cursed him in his heart for a while, then suddenly remembered something. He immediately looked at Chen Baiqi seriously and said, "Okay, I promise you this as a father, and it's up to you to arrange it as you wish. However, there is one thing.

But I want you to agree to be a father."

It makes me cry just talking about it. Whose daughter is as powerful as his Jiaojiao'er than her father, so that even when he mentions certain taboo things, he can only consult carefully instead of giving direct orders.

Chen Baiqi waited quietly with a smile: "Father, please speak."

Father Chen nodded, and then said in a tough tone that he had never used before: "You, Chen San, will never be anyone's concubine no matter what the reason is in your life."

Chen Baiqi never thought that Father Chen would say such a thing.

She looked at Father Chen quietly, and for a moment she was a little touched.

Father Chen saw that she had been looking at him blankly without saying a word. He thought she was hesitating, so he immediately said nervously: "Jiaojiaoer, you are probably able to remember things at the age of seven. You should know what it means to be a father."

To put it this way? My father is a concubine, and my mother is kind and kind. However, no matter how capable and successful my father is in this life, he cannot disobey the ancestral rites and recognize him as his concubine’s biological mother. When he was young, he could not

Recognizing family ties, I saw how my own mother was bullied in the inner house, but when she was older, she was unable to do anything. The mere word "concubine" cut off the relationship between mother and child, leaving only the relationship between master and maid.

...Therefore, when my father's biological mother finally died of depression, my father swore that he would never tolerate his daughter becoming a concubine!"

When Chen Baiqi saw Father Chen's words, her ears turned red and her face turned red. Her eyes held back emotions such as guilt, sadness, and anger. Her whole ricket back was trembling slightly due to the tension. She lowered her expression, put her hands on him and put them on the table, clenching her fists.

On the back of his hand, he whispered: "Father, Chen San understands that Chen San will never be willing to be anyone's concubine. No matter how noble or powerful he is, Chen San will not disdain him."

Father Chen was relieved after hearing her words that were not said casually. He looked at her with comfort, feeling warm that she could understand the heart of being a father.

"Besides, my daughter has no intention of marrying as a wife, and she still has her revenge yet. Talking about this now makes her worry too much for her father." Chen Baiqi added slowly.

Huh?! Father Chen was dumbfounded.

Why doesn't she want to get married? This doesn't seem right.

Although he didn't expect his Jiaojiao to marry any royal noble as a concubine, he also didn't intend for his Jiaojiao to waste her time and be single all her life.

Wasn't what he said just now too harsh and he overcorrected her?

Especially when he saw Chen Baiqi's otherworldly look, "I am not greedy for fame and fortune, I am not greedy for flowers, I will sleep in the clouds every day. I advise the world to wake up early, put aside worries and practice yellow buds", Chen's father suddenly felt like crying without tears.

She had just finished worrying about her wanting to get married, and now she had to worry about her not wanting to get married.

Jiao Jiao'er, my mother-in-law, did Jiao Jiao'er have a problem with being raised by such a common man? Why did she suddenly become so independent, independent and different?

——

Regarding the conquest of the entire Pingling County, no, now that Pingling County is no longer under the jurisdiction of the Chu Kingdom, it can be directly called the Pingling Conquest. Chen Baiqi is not in a hurry. She has decided to solve the "barracks" training first

For one thing, strengthen the military strength and have a Chen family army that belongs to Chen Jiabao to personally mobilize and attack.

For this army, Chen Baiqi did not intend to use the troops in the hands of other secret forces in Pingling County. Firstly, it was not easy for the troops to betray him. Secondly, she could not finish it in one bite. It was a contradiction to recruit any soldiers, so as long as

The army controlled by my father.

There are 2,000 soldiers in total. These 2,000 troops have not yet reached the ideal number in Chen Baiqi's mind. An additional 1,000 troops need to be added for the first batch of trial barracks training.

Since there were not enough people, she had no choice but to recruit soldiers privately.

Recruiting troops in this troubled world is actually not too difficult. As long as you have power and money, since you don't recruit troops in a big way, a large number of people will naturally surrender and join.

At present, Pingling County is in a period of turmoil. If we want to recruit a group of people to come to Chenjiabao, the supply is basically in short supply.

As soon as Chen Baiqi's ranking was posted, a wave of young and strong men rushed up the mountain early the next morning to apply for jobs. There were also many acquaintances among them, who were all laborers who had previously built houses for Chenjiabao.

They knew that Chenjiabao's treatment had always been good, so when they saw the move, they quickly dropped everything they were doing and rushed over.

This recruitment was huge, with a large number of people, and the audition lasted for three days. Among these batches of people, Chen Baiqi carefully selected a group of people with high attribute values ​​​​and good credibility through the system.

Some of them stayed behind, while the rest rushed down the mountain.

Originally she only planned to reserve a thousand people, but in the end she saw that some of the seedlings were good, so she reserved over a hundred more people.

Once those who come on the list are selected to stay, Chen Baiqi will ask them to sign a basic security contract. The content of this contract is similar to a modern labor contract. The content of the contract clearly clarifies the rights and obligations of both parties. This contract

The content was written by Chen Baiqi himself. After she asked Si Jiang to read it in public, she asked Ju to bring a large bundle of bamboo slips, and if they agreed, they would sign on it in person.

Due to the conditions, of course, the contract on the bamboo slips was not made in one copy or in duplicate, but was signed by everyone at the same time. Since basically no one knew how to write with a pen, they basically made do with stamping and sealing it with their fingerprints.

This is just a ceremony.

Originally, for this ancient labor contract to be legally effective, it had to be submitted to the government agency for certification before it could take effect. However, the national government unit in Pingling has long since canceled it, so the significance of this contract is

, it was signed with Chen Baiqi alone, but don’t think that it is no longer binding if it belongs to an individual. They are still effective, and the effective binding force has changed from the state to the system.

Because more than 3,000 recruitment contracts were signed at once, Chen Baiqi added another "command" to his position.

After signing the contract, in order to test the soldiers' abilities, Chen Baiqi conducted three days of devil training in the field.

System: Please train a team of 100 generals. (Tip: "Generals" meet the conditions - the force value must reach 80). Accept/reject?

System: Please train a team of 100 Feiyu, (hint: "Feiyu" meets the conditions - force value 50, agility 70), accept/reject?

System: Please train a team of 50 strategists, (prompt "strategic" to meet the conditions - intelligence 60), accept/reject?

Chen Baiqi: "Accept."

During these three days of training, she mainly stimulated their potential through some outdoor expansion training and observed.

After three days of bombing-like training, Chen Baiqi finally made up her mind. Looking at the 3112 teams in the detailed list of "Command", she picked out the candidates with a strength value of 60. There were 843 people in total, all of whom were some.

Tall, mighty, and powerful men were selected, and then we selected those with good endurance and physical strength and agility of 60, a total of 354 people. We also selected 80 people with intelligence exceeding 50, and the remaining 1835 people belonged to various attributes.

There are no ordinary soldiers that stand out.

She specially selected 1,277 people and taught them in accordance with their aptitude. She created a total of three arms, namely generals, feathers and strategists.

"Xiaojiang" is a melee general, which belongs to the types of troops such as shield soldiers, cavalry, and spearmen. Beings like Xiaojiang, which are similar to human shields, naturally require high strength to carry them down.

And "Feiyu" is naturally a long-range archer, belonging to a type of arms such as archers.

The "strategist" is equivalent to the behind-the-scenes control and coordination of the entire team, so high intelligence is a must, because the strategist is equivalent to actually implementing the strategist's strategy in the battle situation. After all, being a strategist is always delicate and fragile, so it is not possible to go to the battlefield in person.

Therefore, the 843 people with strong strength are candidates for "General", the 354 people with high agility are candidates for "Feiyu", and the 80 people with good intelligence are candidates for "strategists".

Why are they the last candidates? Because this group of people has not yet reached the basic data required by various arms, so they still need to go through a period of systematic training, and finally observe the results uniformly.

If these three types of arms are selected as regular soldiers, they will have the relevant treatment that regular soldiers should have. Compared with ordinary soldiers, the treatment of regular soldiers of these three types of special arms is naturally different. Soldiers of special arms

Not only will there be a set of brand new high-end weapons and armor that can be equipped as a standard, but there will also be a correspondingly generous salary.

Of course, these 1878 ordinary soldiers will also train together. If they work hard and make progress, they will have the opportunity to challenge these candidate special units after the first stage. If they win, they can replace the loser.

Therefore, everyone is staring at the selection position of this special unit with green eyes.

Chen Baiqi is temporarily preparing to set three stages of training goals. The first stage will last for half a month of basic intensive training, and half a month later there will be a military test. Those who pass will be officially selected for the military service, and those who fail will be eliminated.

Among ordinary soldiers.

Anyway, Chen Baiqi was mentally prepared. The soldiers she wanted were more skilled, not more.
Chapter completed!
