Qin Dynasty Novelist

"Why beat that Confucian scholar?"

Xiang Yan asked lightly.

I was also thinking, could it be that the Confucian scholar felt that his grandson was not clear-headed, so he cursed a few words?Or did you say a few words of beating and scolding?

Otherwise, they won't hit people for no reason.

"Grandson has finished studying poetry and books, and the man still wants to teach me "The Analects of Confucius". Grandson finds it boring."

Xiang Ji tilted his head and thought for a while, the Confucian scholar really deserved to be beaten, what he was teaching was meaningless, so he waved his fist, who knew that the Confucian scholar vomited blood.

"You think poetry and books are boring?"

Xiang Yan's face moved slightly, this grandson didn't seem to like literary affairs, but it was... a pity.

"The grandson has already recognized a lot of characters, and he can also write his own surname and first name."

Facing his grandfather's gaze, Xiang Ji responded again.

"Then do you know the meaning of poetry and books?"

Learning poetry and books, just knowing characters and writing names is not enough, Xiang Yan shook her head and smiled.

"I don't know."

Xiang Ji responded honestly.

"Don't continue to learn because it's boring?"

The voice of Xiang Yan's speech became much higher unconsciously. Many things in the world are very boring, but you have to keep doing those boring things.

"Grandson wants to learn how to sword!"

Xiang Ji thought for a while and gave his grandfather a response.

"Oh, how about learning to sword?"

Xiang Yan looked at Xiang Chao who was beside him.

"……fine."

Hearing this, Xiang Chao bowed down, looked at his son again, and thought about the process of his son learning the sword. Generally speaking, he still made progress, but if he wanted to see the effect of learning the sword, he couldn't do it in a short time.

"Since you like to learn swordsmanship, Xiang Liang, I will follow you when I learn swordsmanship in the future."

Xiang Yan nodded, as long as one of the ways of civil and martial arts is accomplished, she will be happy for it, and it's fine if she doesn't like poetry and books, and it will be good to be the leading general in the future.

Moreover, the Xiang family will have heirs in the future, depending on their qualifications.

"Yes, father."

Xiang Liang beside him chuckled.

"Xiang Chao, how about recruiting troops in Jiangdong?"

Not long after chatting with her grandson, Xiang Yan changed the topic and landed on a more important topic, walking around in the military tent, looking at the map and the sand table hanging not far away.

Now that I am the Grand Sima of the Chu State, it is time to carry out a deeper rectification of the army.

"Father, [-] soldiers have been recruited, all of whom are from good families in Jiangdong."

Xiang Chao couldn't help but look serious, and looked at his father.

"2 people are enough for now."

"Next, I will put those 2 people into the army, disperse them in various places, integrate them and refine them, and organize them into a powerful army for future use. Xiang Liang, you and Long Ye will deal with this matter and draw up a document. "

Chapter 830 The Second King's Book Is Here (Second Change)

As the new Grand Sima of the Chu State, Xiang Yan naturally has the right to create a brand new army. When he was Zuo Sima, due to his status, although he had soldiers from Jiangdong under his command, they were not organized into a system and did not have a unified name.

It can only be counted as a private soldier of the Xiang family, but now it is different. I have to take the military power of the Chu state further, and how to go further, naturally cannot disperse the force.

Looking at Xiang Chao, since we want to build a legion with different branches, we must have reliable people, what is reliable people, of course they are people from Jiangdong's good family.

"Yes, father."

Following his father all year round, he naturally knows a thing or two about his father's plans.

"But..., father, will Ling Yin and others say that father supports the army?"

To rectify the soldiers and horses directly under the state government of Chu State, such a handicraft, those big aristocratic families would definitely not want to see it.

"All you need is the king's book."

Xiang Yan didn't pay much attention to the power of those big families. The powerful power they relied on was the fiefdom, and it was not important in the land of Huai River, so as long as they had the support of the king.

Absolutely fearless.

Moreover, the king will definitely support himself.

Hearing this, everyone in the shogunate's military tent nodded their heads in agreement. His father's conspiracy should be a powerful conspiracy of the Xiang clan.
