One night, Chen Ziwen was teaching the soldiers how to read in the canteen, and reading a traditional Chinese character. In the light of the torches and candles, he saw a person and a thing sitting in the back of the soldiers, it seemed to be a child and an animal, the canteen was too big, he couldn't see it clearly, it seemed to be children and puppies, Chen Ziwen didn't care, he continued to go to class, and recently the Heavenly Valve had been expanded, and there were also refugees and farmers who had been allocated by Liu Zhiqiang, some bringing a whole family up the mountain, so it wasn't strange for Chen Ziwen to see too much.

As the cement had also found a market for Wenzhou, the factory for cement and refined salt had been expanded once again. The current factory had not been completed yet, the price of goods had risen, and several aristocratic families in Chaozhou had offered a sky-high price for cement, which was also what Liu Zhiqiang had not expected. He had never thought that cement could make so much money, so he once again increased the construction of the secret work and added a lot of manpower to the part-time Minister of Intelligence, Li Benyi.

Fortunately, there were ten classes, and not enough classrooms, so the dining hall was used as a classroom, with eighty soldiers being assigned to attend the class. The dining hall was originally a large warehouse for the bandits, but now with the addition of cement, it could fit four hundred people. Bright torches lit up, and the people in the back could still see the fake black carbon board, where Chen Ziwen used a large piece of chalk (if the craftsmanship wasn't good, then the number was a little too big) to write the word 'Brave'.

Listening to Chen Ziwen's explanation, the child seemed to think back to the carefree days of his childhood, but he was still a child, so why should he think back? Because he was Liu Zhiqiang.

After Chen Ziwen finished explaining, he explained how the word could be used. Liu Zhiqiang listened to this Elementary Scholar's lecture and did not shake his head. He could even use an old example to explain. It was different from other poor Elementary Scholars.

At the end of the day, all the soldiers except Liu Zhiqiang and Violet Thunder Tiger stood up and answered in unison, "Thank you for your guidance, Mister." Then the first row, second row, first row, second row, first row, and then row after row, jogged out of the cafeteria.

Chen Ziwen watched the joyous jog with admiration. As he watched the last soldier run away, he felt gratified in his heart – This master was not a bandit!

Chen Ziwen looked back at Liu Zhiqiang, who was still behind him, and walked up to him. He was surprised to see a purple bug the size of a dog sleeping beside him.

Sitting in front of him, Chen Ziwen somewhat understood that this five-year-old child could be the son of the Heavenly Valve Army Lord. This was because when Chen Ziwen was in class, he would also be walking around the mountain, chatting with soldiers and farmers, and other than the warehouse being a forbidden area, he would also be able to walk as he pleased. On the way, he told everyone that this mountain had been described as a god descending to the mortal world, that there were tens of thousands of invincible bravery, and he also had a purple tiger's and tiger's mannerisms, but when asked about their appearances, they shook their heads in response to him.

Liu Zhiqiang had recently heard from Li Ben that an Elementary Scholar had been probing for him, so he came over to have a meal with his grandfather and mother. Looking at the Elementary Scholar, he didn't look sour.

He only looked below his head, but his lower body was too sturdy, so he didn't look like a child at all. To say that he was fat wasn't right, (Liu Zhiqiang wore ancient clothing at home and changed into a smaller size military uniform when he came back. At this moment, for a kid with extremely abnormal muscles like Liu Zhiqiang, he really could only describe him as a fat child.

Chen Ziwen asked first, "You little child, this is already the Hai hour, why aren't you going home? Let your family worry about the time."

Liu Zhiqiang said, "My family lives far away from here."

Chen Ziwen said, "Looks like your family is not worried about you."

Liu Zhiqiang replied: "Men can be home everywhere, then I, the people of Heaven Valve will be home too. This is home."

Chen Ziwen looked at the child again, "Oh, a little child like you, with your tone and tone, are you relying on your brother's strength or your father's power!? When the world is in chaos, when the sky is not good and the world is not good, when everyone is at a loss, who would care about family? "

Liu Zhiqiang thought to himself, Is this orc thinking that my body is a child, speaking ancient language that I don't understand, or do he know that I am a modern person now, using ancient language to attack my vernacular level, casually answering, "It seems like a corrupt scholar like you also knows that chaos is imminent?"

Chen Ziwen thought to himself: "Kid, you also know what it means to be in a chaotic world. It must be that your intelligent loved ones have discussed it with you before. Otherwise, how could you understand the term 'chaotic world'? It seems that the owner of this Heaven's Valve isn't simple, and you can see that this chaotic world is coming." Answer: "The imperial court has not done anything for a long time, the troops are all out in the open, the outlaws are all looking around, the natural calamities are all over the place, even if there is a natural disaster, it would still be difficult to turn the country into disaster, not to mention the imperial court is not doing anything, the imperial court is still in the middle of invading, fighting for profits, stealing taxes and reducing government, if there is no food today, then there is no army, ah!"

Liu Zhiqiang was shocked. Did this man come back with me? How did he know about the internal strife? How did you know about the tax evasion? How did you know there were no troops? "

Chen Ziwen was also interested in this child's wisdom, thinking that it must be the Master of the Heaven Order's regret, and reflecting in his mind what kind of person this Commander of the Heaven Army was, he answered: "Asking the children of the refugees in the south and finding out that food is in chaos, hearing that the Imperial Court was in distress and there was no money in the cloth, hearing that the war in the north will fall without troops and prisoners of war, and watching the people have fields and not knowing that the Lord has stolen taxes."

Liu Zhiqiang continued, "You're saying it like this, why are you still talking about an Elementary Scholar, not having the reputation of being strong, not having the body of a martial artist, or making empty promises that misled the nation?"

Chen Ziwen replied, "The eight sides of Taizu are to seek the title of official. They are just as hot-blooded as a man. They are not close to the Zhu family or powerful people, and they have no peerless skills or martial prowess. They collect taxes and allow the citizens to live on. They support the army. The plan is for Han Ming to die today to gain righteousness."

Liu Zhiqiang thought to himself, 'It's easy to say, but can you collect the taxes of the Civil Servant and Rich Business Group? If you pretend to be an official, you can only be Yuan Chonghuan. He asked, "Then which outsider do you think is the best?"

Chen Ziwen stared at Liu Zhiqiang, not treating him like a child at all, and said, "I don't know about that, could it be that the Heavenly Valve Army Lord has already intentionally given guidance to the Central Plains?"

Liu Zhiqiang: "No."

Chen Ziwen continued, "Even those close to you would not be able to understand your heart!"

Liu Zhiqiang said, "With a family of bandits, Zhulu has the chance to seek the top spot, but they don't seem to find it laughable. Goodbye!" As he spoke, he roused the Violet Thunder Tiger and left the dining hall.

Watching the child leave, Chen Ziwen said to himself, "Liu Bang Yuan Zhang was not strong at the beginning, but his military might and the will of the people are strong." Not long after, a guard came over and said that he wanted to extinguish the fire. Sir, please return to your residence.

After a few more days of lessons, Chen Ziwen slept through the whole day. After finishing his meal in the cafeteria, a soldier came running over, standing at attention as he reported, "Mr. Ziwen?"

Chen Ziwen replied, "Yes!"

The soldier said, "Sir, the Army Commander has invited you." As he spoke, he made a gesture of 'please'.

Chen Ziwen was curious as to why the military lord had invited him, it must have been because he had a chat with that child that night. Together with the soldier, they arrived at a wooden house called the Benevolent and Righteous Hall.

The soldier stood at the right side of the room, his chest pressed against his chest as he reported, "Mr. Chen Ziwen has arrived."

Chen Ziwen heard a "pa" sound from the inside, as if returning the greeting, and then said from the inside, "Please come in sir, you can return to your post."

After the soldier opened the door, he retreated back to the bamboo forest beside the path to hide.

The room did not have a screen, so the moment he looked inside, he saw a person sitting inside. It was the child he had talked to that night, with a purple bug sleeping soundly at his feet. At the empty table in the middle of the room, two people sat opposite each other and entered to take a look.

They were playing chess. Chen Ziwen thought to himself: This huge man must be the general under the Heavenly Master, and the one sitting at the head is the Lord of Heaven Valve, but the one sitting at the seat is obviously a child, if he wants to act coquettishly, the Lord of Heaven Valve has told him to sit, and the monkey man with the sharp beak must be the Lord of Heaven Valve, but who would have thought that the man with the monkey's mouth must be some kind of great general.

He approached the man with the monkey's mouth and bowed: "I would like to ask the commander if you have any matters."

The monkey-nosed man immediately stood up and saluted back, his palm facing the young child in the hall as he said: "Wrong, alas, this is the real Commander of the Sky Valve Army."

Chen Ziwen was stunned for a long time, seeing if there was anyone behind this child. This caused his brain to be a little numb, as he did not understand what was going on.

The child sitting in the first hall said, "Sir, why are you doing this? Please take a seat." As he spoke, he pointed to his seat.

Chen Ziwen was still very confused, how could a child be the head of a troop? He could only follow Liu Zhiqiang's instructions and sit next to him, but forgot to return the courtesy.

Liu Zhiqiang said, "I chatted with you the other day. I know you have ambitions, but I don't know if you can take it upon yourself."

Chen Ziwen's heart stirred, "I wonder what ability Elementary Scholar has to be the commander of the army."

Liu Zhiqiang said, "Since you can observe the ways of the world, you are much stronger than the other officials. I wonder if it's just empty talk."

Chen Ziwen said, "Army lord, please enlighten us on the role of Elementary Scholar, see if we can do it."

Liu Zhiqiang said, "Your Intelligence Department and I will investigate the people, the enemy, and the internal affairs of the enemy."

Chen Ziwen said, "The nine words are truly difficult, but it must be done."
