Chu Liuyun stood on the platform and gathered all the soldiers, he wanted to give an explanation to the soldiers.

"You just want to eat meat, right, okay, General Ben promised you, if you train well, starting tomorrow, you will have a meal of meat every day." Chu Liuyun still compromised, Fang Jue can get meat, which means that Fang Jue has the ability, no matter how much he explains, it will only be perfunctory for the soldiers.

agreed in front of all the soldiers, and they were not afraid that Chu Liuyun would regret it, so in the end, the soldiers still chose to believe Chu Liuyun.

"Young master, these thousand people have to eat at least one fat pig every day, what should we do?" Yao Qi was a little worried, he knew how many silver taels Chu Liuyun had. Although he is a proton, the imperial court has some silver rewards, but it is only two hundred taels of silver per month. In addition to buying some use, Chu Liuyun also had to spend money to buy gifts for Wang Wan'er to curry favor.

"Go back and replace all the rewards given by the prime minister with silver taels, which should be enough for half a month's expenses." Chu Liuyun was a little helpless, as for how to spend the second half of the month, let's slowly figure it out.

Fang Jue's side of the barracks ran every day, and suddenly Fang Jue changed the way of training and built a single-plank bridge in the barracks. This is to train the soldier on balance.

"Young Master Qian Gongzi is here."

Fang Jue watched Qian Kai standing at the gate of the barracks with two servants, holding a piece of white dangling thing in his hand.

Fang Jue was also a little surprised, this money was really fast, and it didn't take a day to toss out a shield.

"It's good overall, but I don't know how strong the protection is." Fang Jue mentioned it, it was lighter than what the soldiers used.

Fang Jue asked the soldiers to tie their shields to the big tree, wanting to try who was better in the spear or shield.

At a distance of one hundred meters, Fang Jue loaded the five repaired crossbows with crossbow arrows and aimed at the shield on the opposite side.

Bang bang bang ...

Ten crossbow arrows, some missed, some pierced the trunk, only two of them hit the shield, and one only hit the edge of the shield.

When the soldier's shield is taken over, there is a slight dent in the center of the shield, which can be regarded as a complete victory.

"Yes, the material needs to be purer, and the middle can be thicker." Fang Jue said to Qian Kai. "Thank you for your hard work, I will do your business as soon as possible."

Qian Kai was very happy when he heard Fang Jue's affirmation. But when Qian Kai saw Fang Jue take out a list, Qian Kai was dumbfounded.

1,000 shields, 1,000 small bows, 100,000 arrows, 1,000 sets of special armor, 1,000 military stabs...

Each one was designed by Fang Jue himself, which is a great improvement from the previous weapons, and Fang Jue is equipped with a cold weapon special force. But he didn't know that the cost of these equipment was so high, which was completely beyond his imagination.

The shield is at least fifty taels of silver per side, and the total price is fifty thousand taels of silver, and the new bow and crossbow will cost about fifty thousand, not to mention one hundred thousand crossbow arrows, and tens of thousands of silver. In total, Fang Jue's list cost more than 300,000 taels of silver. Qian Kai looked at this data and almost vomited blood, he didn't have to pay it himself, tens of thousands of taels of silver is already the limit, let alone more than 300,000.

The equipment of a thousand soldiers will consume more than half of the treasury tax of the Celestial Empire, which is simply a bloodsucking worm.

"Don't worry, you don't have to pay a penny, and some of them will earn." Fang Jue naturally saw Qian Kai's helpless thoughts. "An iron mine, there's more to it than that."

Qian Kai is comfortable, this is about the same. If you can get iron ore, the raw materials will be saved, and it will save a lot of money.

"With Brother Jue's support, I will definitely do things well."

Qian Kai took Fang Jue's drawings, and went to the largest blacksmith shop in Chang'an to negotiate that night, first let them make a sample, then wait for Fang Jue to confirm, and finally wait for the iron ore to be settled, and then it can be mass-produced.

In the afternoon, when Fang Jue returned to the Summer Palace, he heard a report from the maid, saying that the second lady Yang Yuting had come to Chang'an, and she was in the courtyard of the palace. Li'er also inquired, and the maid Juan'er also followed.

Fang Jue didn't know what they were doing here, it shouldn't be to see if they were doing well. Regardless of so much first, Ye Yunchang, the king of Luoyang, said that he would go to him when he returned home, Fang Jue changed his armor and walked straight towards the prince's study.

"Young Master Fang Jue, the prince is very unhappy when he returns home today, you pay attention, don't anger the prince again." The housekeeper Xue Bao whispered in Fang Jue's ear, completely kind.

Fang Jue entered the study and saw Ye Yunchang dealing with the official document with a serious face. So he stood aside and didn't dare to disturb.

"Here you are, sit down." Ye Yunchang dropped the official document in his hand and said to Fang Jue.

"Has the training of the new army been going well these days?"

"It's okay, everything went well."

"Smooth, are you also angry with the king? Your performance in the barracks in the past few days has been brought to the court to discuss. "Ye Yunchang has some atmosphere." It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous, how can you train a new army like this. ”

"Fang Jue has his own method of Fang Jue, the process is not important, Fang Jue will give the emperor a satisfactory result." Fang Jue said. "If the prince believes me, he doesn't have to care about those gossips, if the emperor doesn't let Fang Jue train the new army, Fang Jue will gladly obey."

"Hmph, do you think you'll be able to get out of it. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hadn't protected you today, the Emperor would have punished you. "Ye Yunchang has some atmosphere, the variables in the court, Fang Jue doesn't even know how he died." A month is very fast, if you can't get results, not only will you be punished, I'm afraid the dialect will not be able to get rid of it. Don't think that a prince is so great, he can spoil you to the sky today, and you may fall down tomorrow. ”

Fang Jue looked at Ye Yunchang's serious expression, and guessed that there must have been a fierce battle in the court today, but he didn't expect the matter to be so serious. Fang Jue also understood that it was not only Ye Hongyin who helped him today, but also Ye Yunchang, the king of Luoyang, who helped him.

"Fang Jue, you are so self-conscious, you can go back." Ye Yunchang flicked his sleeves and turned his back to Fang Jue. "If you don't understand something, you can discuss it with me." Ye Yunchang's tone suddenly eased a lot.

"Thank you, Lord Wang, Fang Jue keep it in mind." Fang Jue saluted respectfully, and then exited the study.

"Young Master Fang Jue, the prince is also good for you, please rest assured." Xue Bao naturally heard the conversation in the study and said earnestly.

Fang Jue naturally understood, and also thanked Xue Bao for saluting, and then went straight back to the Summer Palace.

The way of officialdom, Fang Jue knew that he had many shortcomings, and the words conveyed by Ye Yunchang made Fang Jue feel pressured, and he began to feel a little skeptical about his pioneering way of training the new army, can he really succeed in doing this. In the era of cold weapons, it is mainly swords, guns, swords, halberds, and face-to-face battles are required, and the game of military formations is particularly important.

"Young Master, Young Master..."

Li'er shouted softly at the door, and Fang Jue locked himself in the house as soon as he returned to the Summer Palace.

"Brother Nan, what's wrong with the young master?"

Nan Feng looked at Li'er, and just shook his head, he didn't see anything unusual about Fang Jue in the military camp today, so he went to the prince's study, and when he came back, it was like that, could it be that the prince reprimanded his young master?
