Half a month has passed since Liu Yi opened a position to help the people, and in this short period of half a month, the entire Zhuo County has changed its previous lifeless appearance, and the faces of the people have gradually shown a smile that has not been seen for a long time.

Liu Yi and the others, as usual, got up in the morning and went to the school training ground to practice, those soldiers after two weeks of training, the whole is a big change, no longer the previous sluggish, no fighting spirit of decadent appearance, now Liu Yi looked at the upright in front of the people, energetic people feel very pleased, so he said to everyone, "Brothers! I've seen your progress in the past half a month, so I'm going to add food to everyone from today, not only with broth, but also with meat at noon! When you have enough food and drink, you have the strength to train! ”

"Lord, we don't want meat!" In the middle of the phalanx came a crisp and hearty voice, and judging by the voice, it must have been said by a young man of young age.

Liu Yi originally thought that everyone would cheer after he finished speaking, but he didn't expect that not only did no one cheer, but some people even said that they didn't want to eat meat.

Liu Yi pointed at everyone and asked, "Don't eat meat?" So what do you want to eat? ”

"Lord, we don't want to eat!" A man behind the phalanx said.

Liu Yi was a little surprised when he heard this, and said, "Oh? Don't want to eat? So what do you want? I can tell you, don't look for me if you want a wife, because I haven't got a wife yet! ”

Liu Yi's words caused the audience to burst into laughter.

Before the laughter fell, someone in the phalanx was heard pulling their necks and shouting, "Lord, we want weapons like the scorpions!" ”

Since Liu Yi told everyone the numbers of Yao Lie and others when he was resting a few days ago, everyone has been calling Yao Lie and others poisonous scorpions in private.

"Yes~Yes~ We want weapons like theirs," many people in the audience began to echo.

During this time, everyone trained with Yao Lie and others every day, and they were very greedy for the ring-headed broadsword and steel gun in the hands of Yao Lie and others.

Liu Yi saw that everyone didn't want to eat but wanted weapons, and his heart suddenly became difficult, but Liu Yi thought about it, isn't it just a sign that everyone can be like this! So he said to everyone, "It's very simple that you want the same weapon as the scorpion, as long as anyone can defeat the scorpion member after a month, I will not only give him the exact same weapon, but I will also let him join the scorpion!" If none of you can defeat the members of the scorpion, that's okay, when will you be able to hold on to a stick of incense in the scorpion's hand, and I'll equip you with the same weapons as they do now! ”

"Great! It's great~" When everyone heard this, they happily talked about it below, as if they had forgotten about the blue nose and swollen face that they were beaten by others half a month ago.

Seeing that everyone was like this, the scorpion members under Yao Lie's command just snorted coldly and didn't make any statement, after all, their progress in the past half a month was much greater than that of those soldiers, and now they have been able to shoot continuously for an hour from a distance of fifty meters, and the number of missed shots is guaranteed to be less than five rounds, not only that, since the tenth day, everyone has stopped practicing with wooden guns, but with real guns and steel guns.

Liu Yi saw that the people below were talking about it, so he made a gesture to make everyone quiet, and then said to everyone, "Now everyone's spirit has reached the standard I want, so I will tell you about your training plan for the next half month."

As soon as everyone heard this, the training content was going to change, and they were busy listening attentively.

"The next training, in the morning, is still running and standing in the military posture, but there is no need to stand in the military posture for two hours, only standing for one hour, and we have to do physical training for the remaining hour."

After Liu Yi finished speaking, the people on the side used a carriage to transport the sandbags made according to Liu Yi's instructions, all the sandbags were sewn with the rags that the people bought outside, because the cloth at that time was very coarse, and the sand was easy to leak out, so each sandbag was sewn into three layers, and there was a little cotton wool in the middle of each side, and the filling inside was also some coarse sand.

These sandbags are divided into three kinds by size, the smaller one is only five catties, it is a long strip, the workmanship is the finest, and the four corners of each sandbag are sewn with a long thick hemp rope, which is specially customized by Liu Yi for Yao Lie and others, for everyone to increase the weight during running training.

The second type of sandbag weighed about fifty pounds, which was the shape of an ordinary bag, and these were for the training of those soldiers; There was also a kind of sandbag, which was the same shape as the sandbag used by the soldiers, but it was indeed twice the size and weight of the previous one, needless to say, these were for the scorpion members under Yao Lie's command.

There are more than 2,000 of these sandbags, and Liu Yi spent a lot of manpower and material resources to sew them. Liu Yi instructed the people to place the sandbags on the carriage on one side of the platform according to their types.

After about two quarters of an hour, everyone finally sorted and placed all the sandbags, Liu Yi pointed to the hill-like sandbags in front of everyone, and said to everyone, "Let me tell you the specific content of physical training, these sandbags are exactly five per person, two people in a group of two during training, one person stands on one side, the other person is ten meters on the opposite side, two people carry sandbags to each other to the opposite person, at the end of the training, who has less sandbags left in the two, who wins, if the number of sandbags is the same, it is considered a failure; The winning team can rest in place, while the losing team needs to have the sandbags neatly stacked for the next time, and the winner has to carry the winner's sandbags before each training session. Liu Yi said while instructing Yao Lie to demonstrate to everyone on the stage,

"Do you understand?"

"Got it!"

"Good! Then get ready for your first running workout! After Liu Yi finished speaking, he also instructed the members of the Gang Scorpion Team to add weight.

After Yao Lie put on the weight, he stretched out his arms and legs, tried the weight, and said to Liu Yi, "Lord! That's not a small feat! ”

Liu Yi looked at the members of the scorpion with a total of thirty pounds of six sandbags on each person, and said solemnly, "This is just the beginning, your training will be more rigorous in the future, each of you is not only my killer weapon, but also the first brother to me, your life is more important than anything else!" Therefore, in the future, I will give you the best whether it is weapon preparation or food, and your training is also the most rigorous, the so-called sweat more in peacetime, and less blood in wartime; I said at the beginning of the scorpion's establishment that you must be able to deal a fatal blow to the enemy even in the harshest conditions, and I said this with the premise that after every battle you must ensure that everyone is alive! ”

After listening to Liu Yi's words, the members of the poisonous scorpion were all moved to tears.

After Liu Yi instructed again, he began to run around the school training ground with everyone.

Now Liu Yi no longer participates in the rest of the training subjects except for the morning jog and the bow and arrow training in the afternoon, and they are all handed over to Zhang Fei and the three of them to do, and he just inspects everyone from time to time, and most of the time he is planning how to make these people grow up quickly.

The words of those soldiers this morning had a great impact on Liu Yi, so Liu Yi and the others returned to the house alone after running in the school training ground and eating breakfast, and when they entered the house, Liu Yi ordered the servants to go to the blacksmith shop to call Li Blacksmith and his apprentices.

Liu Yi waited for about half an hour, and Blacksmith Li and his three apprentices hurried to the mansion.

"I've seen my lord!"

"Sit down!" Liu Yi saw that everyone had arrived, so he arranged for everyone to sit down.

"Thank you, sir!"

Liu Yi was very happy to see that Blacksmith Li's mental state and physical condition were much better than last time.

"Master Li, have you been feeling better lately?"

"Thanks to the Lord! Since the last time I attended a banquet at the Lord's Mansion, the old child's body has become more and more tough! Lao Li replied respectfully.

Since the last time Liu Yi ignored his previous suspicions and talked to Blacksmith Li about the Weapons Research Institute, Blacksmith Li has been very excited, and his body has slowly improved as soon as he is in a good mood.

Liu Yi nodded and said, "Some time ago, I was busy with other things, and I haven't been able to pour out the time, so the matter of the Weapons Research Institute has been delayed, and it just so happens that there is nothing to do today, so it is like discussing the matter of the Weapons Research Institute with you."

Blacksmith Li and the others were overjoyed when they saw that Liu Yi finally mentioned the matter of the Weapons Research Institute again. Blacksmith Li trembled and took out a large roll of bamboo slips from his carry-on package, held it in both hands and handed it to Liu Yi, Liu Yi saw that the bamboo slips were very heavy and quickly took them.

"Master Li, is this...?" Liu Yi asked puzzled.

"Lord Hui, since the last time my lord said that he would set up a weapons research institute, I will rush to work day and night when I go back, and record all my life's learning in this bamboo slip," Li Blacksmith replied respectfully.

"Huh?" Liu Yi was overjoyed after hearing this, and hurriedly opened the bamboo slip and spread it on the table behind him.

Seeing that Liu Yi valued the bamboo slips he and his apprentices made so much, Blacksmith Li was also very proud in his heart, and walked to the table and began to explain to Liu Yi.

"My lord, please see, this is an introduction to how to make farm tools, here is how to make knives, here is this..."Blacksmith Li introduced as he pointed to the words on the bamboo slips.

Liu Yi listened to the introduction of Blacksmith Li while looking at the content of the bamboo slip, the bamboo slip was introduced in detail, which not only contained the methods and precautions for the creation of ordinary iron tools and weapons, but also recorded the methods of building the weapons of Zhang Fei, Wang San and Yao Lie and the drawings drawn by Liu Yi at the beginning, Liu Yi looked at the more he looked at it, the happier he became, and he couldn't help laughing when he saw the end.

"Hahaha, it's really a treasure! None of you will want to run away in the future, you will all be my Liu Yi's people in the future!! From now on you will all live in my house. ”

When Blacksmith Li saw that Liu Yi actually let them stay in the house, he was moved by the old tears, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "The old child is willing to follow the adults all his life, and he will not hesitate to be a cow and a horse for the adults!" ”

"I swear to follow my lord to the death!" Several apprentices also knelt down and bowed.

Liu Yi hurriedly helped everyone up, and then instructed the maid to clean up a side room for a few people to live in.

After all the instructions, Liu Yi ordered someone to get paper and pens, and then everyone began to discuss how to establish a weapons research institute, Liu Yi asked Li Blacksmith and others while drawing simple construction drawings on paper, after all, Li Blacksmith and others are professionals, and they know what facilities are needed for ironmaking, Liu Yi began to outline the outline of the research institute on paper according to everyone's description and his own ideas.

Blacksmith Li watched Liu Yi draw the outline of the research institute bigger and bigger, and the facilities inside became more and more complete, and he hurriedly shouted, "My lord, it's big enough!" Big enough"

And Liu Yi was on the rise at this time, where was he willing to stop, and replied while drawing, "It's not enough!" Not enough! ”

In the end, Liu Yi's drawings covered the entire table, and I saw that Liu Yi's drawings not only had dozens of stoves for building, but also equipped with pools for quenching treatment next to each stove, not only had all the facilities for building weapons, but also dormitories and kitchens, and Liu Yi also planned one-third of the place into a small academy for future research weapons and teaching apprentices. To build a research institute of this size, it needed at least the size of a basketball court.

Everyone looked at the drawings on the table in amazement, and Blacksmith Li muttered to himself, "My good man! How many people can fit there! ”

Liu Yi looked at his work proudly, and said to everyone, "Since it is a weapons research institute, then you have to be magnificent, I will ask someone to start building it from tomorrow, and I will give you a few tasks before it is completed."

"Your Excellency, please command!"

"Starting tomorrow, you're going to get me all the people you know who can craft weapons!"

Hearing this, Blacksmith Li asked, "Why are you looking for so many people?" ”

Liu Yi smiled and said to everyone: "After the establishment of the research institute, I want to create at least a hundred weapons for me every day!" Just a few of you won't be enough! ”

"So many! My lord, what do you want so many weapons for? A little apprentice opened his mouth and asked.

Seeing this, Blacksmith Li went up and came up to the back of the little apprentice's head for a moment, and scolded, "You still need to care about the affairs of adults? ”

After the little apprentice was beaten by Blacksmith Li, he hurriedly didn't dare to speak more.
