It's time to look for a master, 6 Haoshan said this to himself more than once.

Recently, 6 Haoshan can be said to be busy like a spinning top, meeting with Zhao Yuqing from time to time, exploring the progress of tea purchases, dealing with the official affairs of the yamen, coordinating the increasingly tense relationship between the county government and the upper and lower levels because of competition, the most important thing is to go to Niutou Mountain to train, from the county government to Niutou Mountain, back and forth is more than 50 miles, 6 Haoshan takes time to train every day, appears in front of the pickets, and emphasizes his power and prestige, which is not light.

It would be best if there was a master to help him handle official business, but fortunately, in order to compete for the post of county magistrate, all departments are very active in handling their own internal affairs, for fear of becoming a reason for others to attack, so that 6 Haoshan has time to train troops.

Raising an army is definitely a bottomless pit, not to mention that the monthly salary of the private guards, pickets and logistics personnel adds up to more than five hundred taels, hundreds of people eat and drink Lazar, the supply of horses, personnel injuries and diseases, etc., especially these hairy guys are very able to eat when they are growing their bodies, and they must train an elite soldier, and they cannot save money in terms of eating, rice and meat can not be less, plus the expenses of building a camp in Niutou Mountain in the early stage, in less than a month, three thousand taels of silver have been smashed into it.

These three thousand taels do not include the expenses of buying cotton armor, long knives, bows and arrows, horses, etc.

If you only rely on the Yulu supply, it is fifty taels a year, and you have been a county magistrate for fifty or sixty years, and you have to eat or drink to save this huge amount of money, and cotton armor, weapons, etc. add up, a set of about fifteen to twenty taels, not yet sophisticated. If more than 300 people are equipped with one set, so that. In less than a month, the cost is easily more than 10,000 taels. 6 Haoshan is a little afraid of calculations: only a few hundred people, this cost is so much, if it is thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, wouldn't that be astronomical?

No wonder Emperor Lao'er forced the defenders of Liaodong to fight every day, not because he was so happy, but because the Ming Dynasty's finances could not afford it.

Fortunately, in the eyes of 6 Haoshan, this qiē is worth it, this is not. After a month of training, especially since 6 Haoshan did not hesitate to improve the food, the more than 300 pickets have neat steps, firm eyes, enough nutrition and nourishment, many people are much stronger than just entering the picket, the body is strong, the cheeks are a little more fleshy, the complexion is not much better than when the training was just now, and the spirit, qi and spirit have been greatly improved.

Of course. After several rounds of elimination, the original size of 380 people was reduced to 342, that is, less than a month. Thirty-eight people have not stood the test and walked away.

"My lord, it's time to teach these little guys some fighting skills," Yuan San stood next to 6 Hao Mountain. Whispered.

There are still five days to go, and it will be a month since the pickets were formed. In the past 20 days, 6 Haoshan has asked them to stand in a military posture, march in line, and run every day. Even the quilt that gets up is required to be folded neatly, and the others are not trained, not to mention drawing a bow and archery, even the knife has not been touched, not only the instructors are a little puzzled, but the members of the picket team are also a little puzzled, but in the picket, 6 Haoshan is engaged in a word, and everyone can only implement it seriously.

Seeing that in another month, he would be escorting the tea leaves to a foreign land, Yuan San was a little anxious.

6 Haoshan nodded and said, "It's time to train them for the enemy, but there is still a need to assess it." ”

In 6 Haoshan's cognition, the difference between soldiers and civilians is mainly reflected in two aspects: one is discipline, the other is skill, discipline is strictly prohibited, orders must be carried out, and soldiers are required to obey absolutely; Skill is the skill of fighting, more effective killing and killing of the enemy, discipline is the key to victory, and skill is the guarantee of victory, both are indispensable, 6 Haoshan spent nearly a month, teaching the pickets to learn unconditional obedience: standing in place, can not move before the order, when stepping forward, no matter whether there is a puddle or thorns in front of you, before you shout to stop, you have to move forward with gritted teeth, cloudy, rainy and sunny, the training has not been pulled down for a day.

The difference between a first-class and second-class, coupled with the threat of expulsion from the pickets, coupled with the temptation of having fish and fish every day and a tael of silver every month, is enough for these teenagers to endure the "torture" of one qiē in this period of scarcity, and it can be said that in terms of discipline, they have reached the qualified standard in the heart of 6 Haoshan, and the front pays attention to discipline, and the latter pays attention to teaching them combat skills and techniques.

"Still need to be assessed? Isn't it enough to stand in a military posture and kick a positive step or something every day? If you don't know that they are pickets, you will think that they are playing monkey play. Yuan San said with some disapproval.

"Third brother, you say this, I don't agree" 6 Haoshan said with a straight face: "It seems that it has little effect, but these are the most basic, in this process, let their body, endurance and willpower be exercised, emphasizing discipline at the same time, but also stimulate their enthusiasm, in addition, there is also a very important point, these players are mostly from the poor family, when they come in, the foundation is very poor, or when the body is growing, if a move comes in on high-intensity training, I am afraid that their body will be damaged, which is not conducive to long-term development, With this month's foundation, the training is much better. ”

"Indeed, this month is good to eat and drink, even the Xu Li of the county government has not been treated like this, your hard work has not been in vain, obviously, their complexion is much better than before." 6 Haoshan said it reasonably, and Yuan San was also convinced.

6 Haoshan said with deep understanding: "The ancients said, poor culture, expensive martial arts, indeed reasonable, learning literature only needs pen, ink, paper and inkstone, that is, there is no money to worship under the famous teacher, you can also learn and refer to the notes and books of the predecessors, and the practice of martial arts is different, really to practice a good martial arts, I heard that not only to eat supplements, but also to take a large number of precious medicinal materials to nourish, if you are injured and have to take care of it, etc., the cost is not usually affordable." ”

Eat well, spend a lot of silver, spend money like running water, look at the silver in your hand is getting less and less, 6 Haoshan is also very anxious in his heart, there is no money and silver into the account, and there will be a day when the mountain is empty.

Yuan San nodded and said, "Yes, I think I practiced martial arts back then, and every night I brewed something called Peiyuan soup, a dose cost five taels, and put it in a bucket." A bucket can only be soaked three times, usually how can people afford to provide for it. That's right, Brother Shan. You said there is another assessment, what do you want to take? ”

"Loyalty" 6 Haoshan said without hesitation, and after speaking, 6 Haoshan said to Yuan San: "Third brother, assemble." ”

"Okay."

With Yuan San's order, in about ten breaths, more than 300 people stood neatly in front of the point general's platform, waiting for the captain's instructions, after nearly a month of training. There has been a qualitative change in these team members, which can be reflected in the assembly: quiet, fast, and orderly.

This is like a well-trained army, although it has not yet formed combat effectiveness, but the temperament has poured out.

"Hello guys." 6 Haoshan said loudly.

"Captain has worked hard!" More than 300 team members roared in unison, and the sound was so loud that it went straight to the clouds.

This slogan is the evolution of 6 Haoshan in later generations, I have to say, just like that. is really a bit of a general, 6 Haoshan nodded to everyone and said, "Yes, full of energy, and his voice is also very loud." That's what I want. ”

The pickets did not speak, but when they heard the captain's praise, their eyes became more determined. Chest high, pride on the face.

6 Haoshan paused. Continue to say loudly: "Today is the twenty-fifth day of the establishment of the pickets, and it is also the twenty-fifth day of your official training. Many of them could not hold on to quitting the pickets, and you have passed the examination, so you can still stand here, and I would like to congratulate you here, and now, the captain of this brigade wants to give you good news and a gift. ”

Good news? Gift? Many people's eyes lit up on the spot, 6 Haoshan smiled and said: "You look good, think about you have been training in the picket team for a month, and it is time to go home to see, now I will give you a three-day holiday, gather here after three days, and before leaving, I went to the logistics office to receive this month's monthly money, one or two silver per person." ”

"Great."

"I can finally go home."

"Captain Xie."

"One or two silver, great, now you can buy food and go back to your parents, so they don't have to go hungry."

"Me too, the meat is so fragrant, I'm going to buy two catties for my dad then."

As soon as I heard that there was a holiday, there was money to take, and the teenagers who had trained here for more than 20 days immediately became excited, and their faces were full of smiles, and many people applauded loudly.

6 Haoshan raised his hand, signaled everyone to calm down, and said with a smile again: "I just said, I want to tell you a good news plus a gift, you have heard the good news, so now let's talk about the gift, in view of the fact that now the green and yellow are not accepted, many people can not open the pot, the Jing'an Temple outside the east gate has united some benevolent people to prepare to send money and rice to the destined people, the time is the day after tomorrow, the person who sees it has a share, your family is not rich, if you have time, you will go to get a copy, there are not many people who know, you know that you are going, don't sue others, Including your family, lest you get enough time, understand? ”

"Ming! White! Everyone knew the temper of the captain, and they answered loudly one by one.

"Okay, let's disperse, finish lunch, get the money, and go home." 6 A subtle smile appeared on the corner of Haoshan's mouth, and then the team was disbanded.

Soon, more than 300 pickets dispersed, swarming in line to receive food, one by one smiling, today is a good day, not only can you go home, but also take the silver, can you not be happy?

Yuan San walked over, with a smile on his face, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Shan, is this your test?" ”

"Yes, it's up to them to stand the test."

"Okay, don't talk about this, Brother Shan, after working for so many days, it's better to find an opportunity, and our brothers will be happy together." Yuan San smiled and made an invitation.

The pickets have a monthly payment, and of course, the private guards who act as instructors also have salaries, and Yuan San feels that it is just this opportunity to cultivate brotherhood.

6 Haoshan smiled bitterly and said: "Third brother, it's not that the younger brother doesn't give face, but he really can't leave, that assessment needs to be followed up, by the way, you will have to help at that time, in addition, you have to run for the tea and horse trade, and you don't have the skills." ”

"It seems that the official university is not necessarily a benefit, or we rough people are at ease." After speaking, Yuan San patted 6 Haoshan on the shoulder and said, "Brother, you have to take care." (To be continued!)
