Chapter 217 Advice to Xiaodou
In fact, what Chen Dong said is true. The development and growth of Chen State does require population, but the current population of more than 10,000 people in Chen State are enough to support the current development of Chen State.
If Chen Dong advances southward after the beginning of spring, so that more tribes can submit, there will be more problems for Chen State.
Several tribes including the Black Water Tribe came over. On the surface, they seemed to be harmonious, but in reality they were still not united enough. After a year and a half, several tribes were completely united, so it was not too late to consider this issue.
No one can become a fat man in one go, and such things are in a hurry.
"You can't be anxious about this matter, you have to do it step by step." Since Chen Dong couldn't do something, he didn't want to give him hope.
The little pig was a little disappointed, but he still stepped up and asked again, "King Ping, do you think there are other tribes in the south?"
"There are certainly some. As for where it is, I don't know very well. To be honest, my Chen State's weapons seem to be very powerful, and I have received several tribes such as the Black Water Division into the Chen State. However, my Chen family army has a little less force. I used the power of seventy people to deal with several tribes such as the Black Water Division. That was entirely because the Lei tribe was killed. Otherwise, if several tribes united, my Chen family army would have no chance of winning.
The Chen family army we met first was also very easy to talk to. They moved them to understand the truth with emotion, and they understood some great principles. If several tribes united to defeat Chen, our Chen State would really not be able to withstand it. Now Chen State has developed slowly enough, so there is no need to provoke other tribes."
Chen Dong used true feelings when saying these words, "Little Dumb, your youth army is the real reserve force. Maybe when I, Chen State, want to fight one day, can develop outward. The Chen family army is old, and then it will be the time for your youth army to exert its strength."
Chen Dong has told Xiaotong more than once about the importance of the Chen family army. Of course, Xiaotong did not disappoint Chen Dong, and he trained the young army with a good look.
"How long will it take?" Xiaotong has always hoped that he could do something big, and he has always been impatient about it.
Chen Dong smiled and said, "The appearance of me now has accelerated everything a lot. If it weren't for me, you would have just taken a few people to the forest to hunt. If it were better, you would just be a tribal chief. Now everything you do should be much better than a small tribal chief, right?"
Of course, these little pigs that Chen Dong said cannot be denied.
"Okay, if you're fine, go back. If you feel bored, practice writing. Some people in Chen have made great progress in writing. Since I made out the paper, I haven't seen you write a few words. It's beneficial to write more."
Little pigs are good at everything, but sometimes they are a little eager for quick success and instant benefits, which is really bad.
"King Ping, in the past few days, not only did the clams open up land in Chen State, but also ordered several other tribes to do this. He said that although they cannot cultivate them now, they will remove some debris very early, and just plant them directly when they can cultivate them. The area of grain planting next year will be expanded a lot."
Xiaotong changed the topic, so naturally Chen Dong would not be confused about that issue anymore. Xiaotong is a smart person. He could consider some problems without Chen Dong's explanation.
No matter how much you say any question, it doesn’t make sense. The key is to see if the person involved can figure it out.
"Well, Chen State has been developing for so long now, and everyone's physical fitness has obviously improved a lot, and the population has increased a lot. Every year when spring plowing, men, women, young and old can do a lot. In farming, clams have more experience than mine, so everything is mainly based on him."
At the beginning of farming, clams would ask Chen Dong to report a few things. Later, clams had accumulated more and more experience, and Chen Dong no longer interfered in this matter too much. In fact, this matter was also based on experience. When clams had experience, they were not sure how much better than Chen Dong when they were done.
Even if he reported to Shudong, Chen Dong was just a blind command. Instead of being blind commanding, it would be better to leave this matter to them to deal with it by themselves.
Chen Dong is self-aware, the most important thing is that Chen Dong is too lazy. The theory he implements is that those who are capable work harder. If his subordinates can do some things well, Chen Dong doesn't even want to listen to the report.
But the people at this time were too stubborn. Even if Chen Dong didn't want to listen and left them all the matter to them, they would still report to him regularly. Bin hadn't reported to Chen Dong for a long time. I guess he was too busy and delayed it?
Xiaotong reported on the clam matter to Chen Dong, not to sue the illegal accounts or something. He actually just chatted with Chen Dong.
"Since you have nothing to do, let's practice calligraphy here today. You must understand that it is not easy for me, Chen Guo, to make these things come to visit, and you can't waste them easily."
Xiaotong is a smart person and has some talent in reading and reading, so Chen Dong forced him to do this. In fact, it is a talent for everything. If a person without talent is above many things, he will not have to waste time and energy.
Xiaotong was forced to practice calligraphy by Chen Dong. Although he was reluctant, he was also very hardworking.
What Chen Dong likes Xiaotong includes his seriousness. Chen Dong didn't know much about calligraphy before, but now he has been studying hard for such a long time and has gained some insights into this aspect. Chen Dong not only told Xiaotong about his insights, but also to the rest of the Chen Kingdom who are willing to practice calligraphy.
However, those people will never write directly on paper with ink when practicing calligraphy. They all practice on the ground. They may not use a piece of paper for ten days or half a month. However, they will not be able to use a piece of paper. However, they will damage the pen.
In the entire Chen Kingdom, I used paper directly when I first started practicing, probably Chen Dong was the only one.
Now, when Xiaotong practiced calligraphy under Chen Dong's order, he also wrote it directly on the paper, but after writing a few, he felt it was wasted. At this moment, he finally truly realized why the people in Chen State wrote on the ground when practicing calligraphy. When they just held the pen, they even struggled to hold the pen. It was a waste of writing directly on it, not only wasting ink but also wasting paper.
"King Ping, I'd better write it directly on the ground. It's a waste to write it directly on paper."
Chen Dong naturally praised the treasure of paper. Now, I don’t know how much effort it took to come out of some papers in Chen, so they couldn’t help wasting them.
"Little pig, if you want to exert your greatest ability, you must be both civil and military. Not only do you have to practice martial arts well, but you must not lose the ability to read and read. In the next period of time, you will still continue to teach some intelligent people in the two armies to read and read. The more talents you have both civil and military, the more beneficial it will be to the development of Chen State."
Chen Dong once told Xiaotong that he would cultivate more talents with civil and military vigilance. Xiaotong did do this, but in terms of literature, both Xiaotong and the young army were a little lazy.
This is not a good phenomenon.
"Yes, King Ping is worried. My subordinates will hurry up and take care of all this."
