Yu Xiang took everyone to Juxian Hall, which is the place where the new village entertained VIPs, and arranged two upper rooms for Ailianchi and Zhuge Shanzhen respectively. While everyone was busy, Yu Xiang quietly said to Shengying: "Shengdaxia, I don't know how the martial saints and Zhuge Shanzhen eat, you go and arrange it." ”

Shengying felt reasonable, so he found a person, gave an order, and the person went to the cafeteria.

After a busy time, everyone sat in the hall to talk, and someone had already made tea.

Ai Lianchi tasted tea and praised again and again: "Good tea!" The new village produces good tea! ”

Shengying is a little strange, Master has always been steady, how can there be such a frivolous admiration today?

Ai Lianchi sighed: "The world is not easy, and the green forest road is not peaceful. Some people pride themselves on their strong martial arts and gather people to become bandits. The ability of the Yu Zhai Lord to lead the people, abandon killing, and open up a paradise in the troubled times is really a blessing for the people of the new village, but he may face more strong enemies in the future! ”

Ai Lianchi saw Yu Xiang as a person on the Green Forest Road.

"The seniors have won the award, Yu Xiang just did what he had to do." Yu Xiang paused and continued: "The inspection when I entered the door just now, please forgive Ai seniors and Zhuge Daxia, this is the village rules of our new village, and when all people enter the village, they must have identity cards and passwords to prevent anyone from sneaking into the new village." Nowadays, the world is too chaotic and bandits are rife, if the security check is not strengthened, I am afraid that the new village will not have a peaceful life. ”

Seeing Yu Xiang say this, Ai Lianchi asked unceremoniously: "You are the head of the new village, the doorman should know you, and you don't need to go through the security check again, is it suspicious of coquettishness in your actions?" ”

Yu Xiang replied sincerely: "It is true that as the martial saint said, there are not many people in the new village at present, and they all know each other slowly, and if you don't do the entrance inspection, everyone will find it more convenient." But in doing so, everyone will not bring identity tags and passwords in the future, and the doorman will gradually neglect to check. Since then, the village rules of the new village have become a dead letter, but the reason why this is written as a village rule is because the scale of the new village will not only be these people today, but will be bigger and bigger, and there will be more and more people. Today, I take the lead in strictly abiding by the village rules and leading by example, so that other people in the new village will inevitably abide by the village rules more than me, and the village rules of the new village will be strictly enforced. ”

After Yu Xiang finished speaking, he fell into deep thought, many good systems in later generations are because of some special ... Those in power take the lead in not complying with them, making these systems unbinding and mere formalities, and seriously hurting the people's morale and corrupting the social atmosphere.

Ai Lianchi felt reasonable, Zhuge Shan Zhen was a smart person, after Yu Xiang said this, he understood Yu Xiang's good intentions, and said: "Yu Zhai Lord set an example, before opening a new atmosphere, I have a misunderstanding, I apologize." ”

Yu Xiang hurriedly said: "Thank you Zhuge Daxia for your understanding of me, you have helped me set an example for everyone today, which is to let the people in the village know that no one, even a respected predecessor like a martial saint, is allowed to transgress the village rules." Therefore, everyone will strictly abide by the village rules in the future. ”

Ai Lianchi said: "Well done, it seems that the construction of the new village is very promising." ”

Ai Lianchi changed his words and said: "Lord Yu Zhai, do you know that recently, Jiang. Lake. Black. Dao has issued a chase and kill order in the rivers and lakes, to take your head, it is said that the top killers in the rivers and lakes are cold-blooded Saburo Yuwen Jian, the blind-eyed god and demon Liu Shiying, the monopoly Jiangnan Gaitianwang, the shadowless vampire Wei Lengshuang, the black rakshasa Zhang Yufeng, etc., are all chasing and killing you, any knife of the Black Tiger Gang just met, any knife can only be regarded as a small role compared to the above-mentioned people. ”

When everyone present heard this, their faces suddenly showed a look of horror, and the red lady was even more discolored, these people are all martial arts masters, and if they pick out one at random, they are all the main ones who give the entire green forest road a headache.

Yu Xiang smiled faintly and said: "Today I have seen the skill of any knife, if you don't rescue me, I'm afraid I'm afraid that I would have been in a different place long ago." In the future, the defense of our village should be tighter, and these people should not be given a chance. ”

Yu Xiang has dealt with the people of the rivers and lakes and green forests through these few times, and he also knows something about them, no matter how high their martial arts are, they are also people, and they will not escape in the ground and fly in the air, but it is true to improve the combat effectiveness of the new village.

Ai Lianchi asked curiously: "I heard that the master of Yu Zhai can use an astonishing lightning bolt to steal his hand, this kung fu is old and decayed, and the people in the rivers and lakes say that it is from your master's empty man." I have several encounters with the Kongdao people, and I have also studied martial arts, but I have never heard of him having such a powerful kung fu. ”

When Yu Xiang heard this, he was shocked, and said that the empty Dao man was his master, and it was purely to deal with Governor Chen's question, and said casually, I didn't expect the news to spread to the green forest? Besides, listening to what the martial saint said, are there really empty people on the rivers and lakes?

Yu Xiang's mind flashed, and it seemed that he could no longer hide the fact that he killed those thieves with the help of a flashlight. So he said: "Regarding the matter of the lightning dragon's hand, after dinner, I will give a clear explanation to the Martial Saint and everyone here. ”

When everyone saw Yu Xiang say this, they stopped asking. Everyone is extremely concerned about the safety of the new village.

Yu Xiang asked the red lady: "How is the drill of the new village corps?" "Yu Xiang has been busy with sweet potato seedling cultivation recently, and originally wanted to put the matter of military training back, but at present, it must be taken seriously.

"I've just been rehearsing the new formation, which is temporarily arranged by Sheng Daxia." The red lady replied.

"Does Qi Dayong have any complaints?" Yu Xiang asked.

The red lady said: "He went to see the training army every day, and he looked indifferent, and yesterday he said that we were just messing around." The red lady said and glanced at Shengying.

Yu Xiang said happily: "The matchmaker doesn't have to worry about what Sheng Daxia thinks, I asked Sheng Daxia to do this, using the radical method, it seems that it is time for Qi Dayong to serve as the head coach." ”

Yu Xiang said to Sheng Ying: "Sheng Daxia, you take Master and Senior Brother Daoxin Village around, and I will go to see the training of the militia regiment." ”

"Don't worry, I'll be with you here." Seungyoung said. He did have a lot to say to his senior brother and master, and there were many inconveniences in the presence of the red lady and Yu Xiang.

Yu Xiang stood up and said, "Senior Ai, Zhuge Daxia, I have something to do, so I'll leave first." ”

Elianchi nodded in agreement.

Yu Xiang and the red lady came out of Juxian Hall and came to the training ground, only to see more than 60 militiamen rehearsing the formation under the command of a captain.

Qi sat on the ground with great courage, squinted his eyes, and said straight in his mouth: "Nonsense, it's just nonsense." This is all playing at home, which is training, and you have to die on the battlefield. ”

Yu Xiang walked over quietly, sat beside him and said, "Since they are messing around, why don't you go and practice these people yourself?" What about training them into a Qi family army? ”

Qi Dayong heard the voice, turned his head to look, and saw that Yu Xiang was already sitting beside him.

"Gong Wu Yi can train farmers and miners into a winning army, and Qi Dayong must be able to do it too, because your blood is the blood of the Qi family's army." Yu Xiang said.

This sentence touched Qi Dayong, the reason why he became so decadent was because he was not used to seeing the officers and soldiers being mediocre and lazy, seeing the weak and lazy officers and soldiers, seeing the weak soldiers and the wind, people who had seen strong soldiers, and weak soldiers, naturally looked down on them, not to mention the arrogant Qi Dayong.

"Can you train the army exactly as I want it to be? Wouldn't I interfere in any way? Qi Dayong asked.

"I can't agree to this request for the time being, after all, this is the new army, I have my requirements and bottom line, you must not touch my bottom line, in addition, you can train according to your wishes, I will never scratch around." Yu Xiang said.

Qi Dayong thought about it, he watched the new village change every day, and felt that Yu Xiang was a person who did practical things, not like that kind of fool who didn't know anything, he thought about it and said with determination: "Okay, I promise you." ”

Yu Xiang clasped Qi Dayong's hand and said, "Head Qi, from now on, the safety of the new village will be entrusted to you."

Qi Dayong was stunned for a moment and said, "Isn't the head coach a hero?" ”

"It's you now, Sheng Daxia was originally on duty for you." Laughing.

Qi Dayong suddenly understood, it turned out that the position of head coach had been prepared for him a long time ago, and he also laughed.

He was originally a bold person, but he was stimulated to see the destruction of his comrades and the Qi family army in the bloody battle of the Hunhe River, and he became so extreme, and now he has returned to his previous state.

Yu Xiang said to Qi Dayong: "Let's go, let's go and see the weapons." It's time to visit Huo De Zhenjun. ”

Qi Dayong said boldly: "Go, you can't defeat the enemy with bamboo poles alone, go and see what good weapons there are." ”

When Yu Xiang and the others came to the armory, Kong Huayang was holding the bird gun in a daze, and he didn't notice the arrival of anyone at all.

Qi Dayong said: "Old Kong Dao, what are you stunned about? ”

Kong Huayang came back to his senses at this time, and when he saw Yu Xiang and them coming, he hurriedly said, "Master Yu Zhai, please come in." ”

Yu Xiang asked, "Did you encounter any problems?" ”

Kong Huayang said: "The owner of the village, you said that you want to use the bird gun to equip the self-defense army, but this bird gun has too many shortcomings and is not suitable for actual combat." ”

"What are the shortcomings? Dao Ye said to hear it! Yu Xiang said.

"First of all, this gun tube is irregular, uneven in size, thickness and thickness, the amount of ammunition loaded is different, it is all based on experience, if it is less loaded, it cannot reach the power, if it is loaded too much, it is easy to explode, and it is extremely time-consuming to load ammunition, and it is easy to lose the opportunity on the battlefield."

Yu Xiang said: "That's true, if you move slowly, you may be killed by the enemy, and time is life on the battlefield." ”

Kong Huayang continued: "Secondly, the quality of this iron pipe is too poor, if you shoot ten times in a row, you have to rest, and you can continue to shoot when the gun tube cools down, if you encounter an enemy several times your own, you may face a situation where you have no guns to shoot at that time, which is tantamount to running out of ammunition and food, and it is tantamount to suicide on the battlefield." ”

Yu Xiang nodded and said, "Kong Daoye is extremely right, so I'm thinking about making a steel gun." ”

Kong Huayang said: "Steelmaking? Steel is made by thousands of hammers, where did so much manpower and material resources come from to make steel? ”

"The steelmaking I'm talking about is not this kind of tempered refining method, I want to make steel in batches, without human beating! Now I am looking for an iron-making master, if I can invite an iron-making master, I can come up with a new method of mass steelmaking, I have found a lot of pig iron, the raw materials are sufficient, and by that time, all the birds in Xincun will be made of pure steel. Yu Xiang said.

Kong Huayang listened very excitedly and said: "If this is the case, the equipment of the new army will surpass that of the Qi family's army." ”

Speaking of Qi Jiajun, Kong Huayang's eyes flashed with tears. Qi Dayong's eyes were also red, and he twisted his head to the side to wipe his tears.

Kong Huayang stabilized his mood, thought for a while and said: "I heard that in Qi County, Kaifeng Prefecture, Henan, there is a famous blacksmith named Li Kaihe, known as the steel king Li, this person was originally a famous blacksmith in a mine in Shaanxi, and then Shaanxi was troubled, and he couldn't stay anymore and returned to Qi County. ”

When Yu Xiang heard this, he was very interested, because there was another important person in Kaifeng Qi County that he wanted to meet, that is, the famous Li Yan in history, Yu Xiang had been thinking about how to invite Li Yan to the new village, but he felt that the time was not ripe, and now, Li Yan lived a rich life, and he would definitely not leave his hometown and come to the new village.

Yu Xiang still decided to let Jia Bin go to Qi County for a long time to invite the steel king Li Kaihe. By the way, I also went to visit Li Yan's situation.

Thinking of this, Yu Xiang said: "Thank you Dao Ye for the news, I will send Jia Binjiu to Qi County later to invite Li Kaihe, the king of steel." ”

Kong Huayang was very happy to see Yu Xiang so crisp and decisive and trusted him so much.

Yu Xiang took the bird gun from Kong Huayang's hand, looked at it carefully, and asked, "Kong Daoye, do you find any shortcomings in this bird gun?" ”

Kong Huayang said: "There are still shortcomings? ”

"What if the arquebus is extinguished on a rainy day and the gun loses its power?" Yu Xiang said.

Kong Huayang patted his head and said: "The owner of Yu Zhai is very right, it is true, the Qi family army has not worked this before, but there has been no solution. ”

Yu Xiang said: "What if you ignite the fire by hitting the flint?" Isn't the current fire fold just using friction flint to start a fire? ”

Kong Huayang said: "It's true, there have been people who have tried this before, but they didn't succeed." I am not confident that it will be successful. ”

Yu Xiang said: "Later, I will draw a picture of a flint as a fire guide to see if it can inspire you." ”

When Kong Huayang heard Yu Xiang say this, he knew that there must be a feasible way, and said excitedly: "It would be great if we could really realize the flint as a spear for fire." ”

Yu Xiang saw him so happy, patted Kong Huayang's hand and said: "I think there is another improvement in the arquebus, now this gun, every time it is filled with gunpowder, it takes a long time, but the military situation on the battlefield is urgent, in case there is a problem with the gunpowder filling, it may lead to the destruction of the gun, and the enemy will not be injured but will hurt himself." If the gunpowder is loaded first, packed into a portion, on the battlefield, there is no need to worry about the amount of gunpowder, this method is called fixed gunpowder, which can greatly improve the loading speed and win the first opportunity on the battlefield. ”

Kong Huayang nodded again and again when he heard this, and said: "Lord Yu Zhai is really an expert, I didn't expect to be so good at firearms, although the imperial court has a large number of muskets, but it has not exerted its power, one is that the military discipline is lax, and the other reason is that the fire gun * is complicated and prone to accidents. The secret of the Qi family's army being able to win every battle lies in strict military discipline and making full use of the power of firearms. The more Kong Huayang spoke, the more excited he became, and he had great respect for Qi Jiajun in his words.

Yu Xiang said: "So, I am now inviting two descendants of the Qi family army to help Xincun train a new Qi family army and train a winning army that wins all battles." ”

Qi Dayong, who was standing on the side, admired Yu Xiang from the bottom of his heart now, and completely reversed his idea of looking down on Yu Xiang and Zhangjia New Village.

Qi Dayong said: "Master Yuzhai, how should we train the army now?" ”

Yu Xiang said: "Now there are more than 60 soldiers in Xincun, you first train these more than 60 soldiers into elite soldiers, and after this battle, the source of soldiers will be solved, and the recruits will be expanded into the army."

Yu Xiang took off the scarf outside the staff and said to Qi Dayong: "I think short hair is more conducive to military training, short hair is hygienic and easy to take care of, I suggest shaving the hair of these more than 60 soldiers into short hair, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

Qi Dayong thought about it and said: "That's true, the soldiers sweat during training, their hair is too long, and it's extremely troublesome to clean up every day, I have long wanted to shave this hair, but I'm worried that the soldiers will resist." ”

"Sect Leader Qi, you just give the order, whoever has the mood we will talk to him, but first of all, your hair must be shaved off, this is called leading by example." Yu Xiang said.

"No problem! I'll shave my hair in a few moments. Qi Dayong said with a wave of his hand.

"Okay, let's go now!" Yu Xiang said.

Bidding farewell to Kong Huayang, Yu Xiang took Qi Dayong to the barbershop.

The old man of the barber Qian took out a pair of big scissors, according to what Yu Xiang said, only to hear a clattering sound, the hair fell to the ground, and after the haircut, he saw a shrewd and capable, bright-eyed man standing in front of everyone.

Yu Xiang said: "The recruits not only have their hair cut short, but also have to dress uniformly, and in the afternoon, let everyone go to the clothes shop and tailor military uniforms for each person." ”

Qi Dayong was very happy and took the order to leave.
