Ning Xiu even sighed in his heart, training is not a day's work!

They can't even master the most basic queue training, let alone the next training.

"Your Excellency..."

Qi Wen's face was embarrassed, and he looked at Ning Xiu.

Ning Xiu nodded, signaling Qi Wen to be calm and calm.

"The county has decided to select the pacesetter in the queue among you, and the person with the best standing queue will be elected."

Queue pacesetter?

After Ning Xiu threw out this concept, all the soldiers were dumbfounded.

What does this mean?

Qi Wen's eyes widened, and he thought that his own master had come up with a clever plan?

Ning Xiu smiled slightly and said, "The pacesetter in the queue can get a one-time reward of thirty taels of silver, and he can also get twenty acres of local land. ”

Hiss!

These words aroused the interest of the villagers, and everyone began to whisper.

Obediently, the reward of thirty taels of silver is equivalent to a year's worth of soldiers' silver. Not to mention the temptation of those twenty acres of fields.

In this era, the concept of acres is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which is really unimaginable for future generations.

These villagers are all miners, power sticks and other coolies, and it is a dream to get their own land.

The land price in the Wanli period has fallen compared with the Hongzhi period, but it is always higher than that in the Jiajing period.

The price of one mu of land in Xiangshan County, Guangdong is about fifteen taels, and twenty mu is three hundred taels, which is an astronomical amount for these bitter haha. No wonder their saliva is pouring out.

Ning Xiu saw that they were all staring at him, knowing that the concept he had just thrown out had an effect, and his heart was already a little settled.

Sure enough, there will be brave men under the heavy reward, ancient and modern.

"The pacesetters are selected once a month, and each time they get a different person, you all have a chance."

Ning Xiu's words gave the recruits infinite longing, and everyone's eyes shone with light.

Ning Xiu saw that the pie was almost painted, so he cleared his throat and said: "If there is a thief and a treacherous official, he will not be spared, and he will be expelled from the barracks immediately after the heavy punishment of the twenty military sticks." ”

Everyone was dumbfounded, the humane officials changed their faces faster than flipping through a book, and now they can be regarded as having a long insight.

Fang Cai Xianzun is still a bodhisattva, how did he become cold?

They used to be miners and power sticks, and they lived a hungry and full life, so naturally they didn't want to go back to their original state of existence.

Fortunately, the county didn't say that people would be eliminated every month, as long as they performed well, they could stay.

Ning Xiu glanced at everyone with satisfaction, and it seemed that they had all been tamed by himself.

What Ning Xiu needed was the absolute allegiance and obedience of the soldiers. The army is the most unreasonable place, and to reason with the soldiers is to get along with yourself.

Those who are good at commanding troops in the past generations have extremely strong control over the army, and the management of the army is even more strict.

Don't talk about it far away, but say that the military god of this dynasty, Qi Jiguang, Qi Shaobao, and Ning Xiu's old Taishan are a model of strict military governance.

Qi Jiajun was selected from the Yiwu miners, and he had the quality of hard-working and hard-working.

Qi Jiguang took advantage of this to train them strictly, and finally trained an invincible strong army.

Everyone often only sees the strength of the Qi family's army, but they never see the strictness of Qi Jiguang's army.

Qi Jiguang spent countless efforts just to formulate military regulations, among which there are dozens of regulations on violating the rules and regulations.

Tzu is not in charge of the army.

Ning Xiu was already very merciful to these soldiers.

Ning Xiu handed over the specific work to Qi Wen to do, and he left the barracks and went to Xin'an County.

Sea ships and recruits are all in preparation, and the Wuzhushan Island side has to be cleaned up quickly.

When Ning Xiu left, he left behind some local soldiers from the government and inspection department, and he didn't know how far they had done their work.

......

......

Xin'an County Annex.

"Husband..."

Qi Ling'er touched it from behind at some point, a pair of jade arms tightly wrapped around Ning Xiu's neck, and said softly: "Husband has worked hard, the concubine has made a bowl of bird's nest for husband, husband should try it." ”

Ning Xiu kissed Ling'er's palm and said with a smile: "Oh? Thank you lady, you must drink it all in one gulp for your husband. ”

Qi Ling'er blushed with a sigh.

Ning Xiu only felt funny in his heart, and he was shy to kiss the old husband and wife.

"Lady, let's cook a dish for your husband too."

Ling'er was stunned, she knew that Ning Xiu was good at cooking, and she had never begged him. First, the concept of a gentleman cooking is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and Ning Xiu is already a county parent official, so naturally he should not cook.

Second, cooking itself is a woman's business. If this spreads, she will have to end up with a bad reputation.

"You don't have to care about other people's eyes."

Knowing his wife, Mo Ruofu, naturally knows his wife's scruples Ning Xiu well.

"Ahh

Qi Ling'er was still a little uneasy, and said in a loud voice: "If people know, the concubine really has no face to see people." ”

Ning Xiu was helpless.

Ling'er is still subject to the vision of the times.

"Well, if you don't say it for your husband, you just don't say it. God knows, you know and I know. ”

"That's it."

Qi Ling'er tilted her head and thought about it for a long time before she nodded.

"Okay, but what kind of food does the husband want to cook for the concubine?"

Ling'er's eyes were full of anticipation.

"Well, this dish made for you by my husband is called boiled fish."

"Boiled fish?"

Qi Ling'er's eyes were full of doubts, he had heard a lot about the practice of fish, but he had never heard of a kind of boiled fish.

How do you make this boiled fish? Throw the fish directly into the water and boil?

"Haha, lady, you just wait. I'll take care of the rest. ”

After saying that, Ning Xiu directly rolled up his sleeves and strode towards the East Kitchen.

To make boiled fish, the most important thing is the soup stock. Boiling soup was Ning Xiu's specialty, and soon he finished preparing the soup needed for boiling fish and began to cook it.

The flavor of boiled fish is all in the broth, which needs to be simmered slowly.

Ning Xiu had nothing to do, so he began to make a few cold side dishes.

The dishes are the most homely cucumbers and kidney beans, but they are very refreshing when eaten with boiled fish.

Qi Ling'er tiptoed in, looking at the scene in amazement.

I really can't imagine that my husband will cook good dishes.

"Husband, the concubine will come and give you a hand."

Qi Ling'er half-leaned on Ning Xiu's body and said softly.

A wisp of warm breath breathed into Ning Xiu's ears, and he only felt a warm surge of warmth. It's a pity that he still has a kitchen knife in his hand, otherwise Ning Xiu really wants to take advantage of the situation to take his beloved wife into his arms.

"Okay, help me cut the cucumber."

"Hmm."

Qi Ling'er responded lightly, took the kitchen knife from Ning Xiu's hand and began to cut the cucumber.

Ning Xiu, who was idle, watched with interest from the side.

Not to mention the way Ling'er cuts cucumbers, there are really two strokes.

Ning Xiu originally thought that a tiger girl like Ling'er couldn't cook at all, who would have thought that her skills were perfect, although she couldn't compare to Ning Xiu, but she was also considered to be at the upper level.

"Lady, for your husband, let's continue to tell you the story of Dream of Red Mansions."
