Zhu Cihong was flipping through the report sent below.

He put a large desk in the office room of the first attendant section, and worked directly here when he was busy with official business. By the way, I supervise the staff of the first section. These people were all recruited by Wu Weiye from among the people who stayed in Beijing and the prisoners, as well as some high-level talented students.

The cultural level of these people is slightly higher than that of the little eunuchs in the inner study hall, so they stay by their side to do papers. When the guards have generally passed the 500-word test, it will be time for these higher-level gentlemen to teach grammar and classics. Of course, the main ones are military classics such as "The Art of War", "The New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness", "Actual Records of Military Training", and "Thirty-six Strategies".

At the beginning, these people who didn't even have an official body saw the prince, and they were all shocked. After a few days, I found that although the prince had a cold tone, his requirements were clear and it was not difficult to serve, so he slowly got used to working in a study with the prince.

"Your Highness, these soldiers just line up, turn, walk, and run laps every day, how can they become good fighters?" Wu Weiye was very disdainful of Zhu Cihong's conduct. In his opinion, at least he should practice swords and guns, shoot arrows to start fires, and lift stone locks.

Zhu Cihong reviewed the various copywriting written by a subject, as well as the official letters sent to the yamen of the Beijing Division, and said casually: "If you don't understand, just look at it obediently." ”

Liu Ruoyu was copying the information from Ouchi on the table next to him, and when he heard the conversation between the two, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but pull slightly.

"The training of the newly recruited guards has only been ten days so far, and it is already a ban, which shows that the energy efficiency of His Highness's "Drill Code" is not inferior to the famous generals of ancient and modern times." Zhou Jing stepped forward to speak for Zhu Cihong, and at the same time slapped his ass.

Wu Weiye doesn't understand military affairs, but looking at these recruits, they have to line up everywhere they go, and their steps are neat, which is indeed very different from the appearance of the homeless people when they first came. He was discouraged for a while, and he didn't dare to say more about military training in front of the prince. Although he admits that he has read two military books, compared with the prince who wrote the military books himself, he is a little lacking in confidence.

"Your Highness," Zhou Jing said again, "Now that the drill has just improved, do you want to change some people to do those chores." ”

Zhu Cihong shook his head. Send these soldier seeds to meet the flower shijie of Jingshi, one is to let them not be timid, and the other is to test their character. Although Zhu Cihong does not expect to be able to practice a benevolent and righteous teacher who "does not take a stitch from the people" in this era, he also does not want to bring out the earth dog that will be dazzled as soon as he enters the city.

What's more, even if someone is greedy now, it is just a few dollars and a half taels of small silver, and if you don't get vaccinated in advance, you may have to suffer a greater loss in the future.

And since he recruited the guards of the East Palace under the banner of epidemic prevention, he had to let them go out and show their faces and recognize the way.

"Go to the training room and let Xiao Mo prepare the materials for this physical test." Zhu Cihong put away the work in hand slightly, took the Zhu pen and made concise instructions, stood up and walked out.

Liu Ruoyu followed behind without giving in, and Zhou Jing was one step behind, so he could only follow Liu Ruoyu. Wu Weiye was reserved and slow to react, so he had to follow in third, and he was unwilling.

The little eunuch who passed the word easily found Xiao Mo and informed the prince that he was going to come over to ask about the physical test. Xiao Mo didn't dare to slack off, and checked the physical test reports of 5,000 people again in the training room to ensure that there were no mistakes in the summary of the results, and then waited at the door for the prince to arrive.

This is the recruit's first physical fitness test. In order to accurately show their results, Zhu Cihong even went back to the palace to ask for a Western clock.

It is a domestic Western clock.

The Western-style grandfather clock first came into the eyes of Chinese scholars in the 10th year of Wanli, when it was presented by Jesuit missionaries to Chen Rui, the military affairs of Liangguang and the governor of Guangdong. In the twenty-ninth year of Wanli, Matteo Ricci met with Emperor Shenzong, was entertained, and paid tribute to a self-striking bell, wrapped in wood on the outside, depicting dragons and phoenixes. This bell rings four times an hour, and the dial is in the number of characters from one to twelve, which is no longer much different from the clocks of later generations.

Emperor Shenzong liked this bell very much, and Zhu Cihong had seen it a few times in the palace. However, he was not very interested in the clock, because it was less practical and difficult to move. In contrast, the table clock that Shanghai paid tribute to during the Chongzhen period was much better, and gears were already used in it, so the daily error was not large, and it was easy to move.

Although Nanjing and Suzhou now have their own watchmakers, Shanghai, as the first area to contact Taixi watches, still leads the Jiangnan in manufacturing technology. More precisely, it is the Xu family who holds this high-end jishu.

With a table clock placed on the table, it is possible to quantify the physical fitness tests of the recruits. Especially in the subject of running, if there is no absolute time measurement, it is impossible to rank 5,000 people.

Zhu Cihong came to the training room, motioned for Xiao Mo to follow up, sat down behind the bookcase, and unfolded the physical test score report on the table. There are not only running, but also common track and field subjects such as sit-ups, pull-ups, shot put, and long jump. After a little conversion in his mind, he found that the physical fitness of these recruits generally exceeded the standard of college sports after 500 years, and he was happy but also a little regretful......

Under the current nutritional situation, it is only possible to meet the physical fitness standards of future college students by sacrificing the duration of the workforce. These surprising achievements all come at the cost of accelerated aging. Most of them are afraid that they will lose their ability to work after the age of 35.

"The results are good," the prince closed the book lightly, "Tian Cunshan." ”

"The slave is here." Tian Cunshan finally found an opportunity to take the lead and hurriedly stepped forward.

"Starting today, the food standard for recruits will be increased by two taels of rice per person per day, plus an egg."

Tian Cunshan slid his Adam's apple and said, "Obey." ”

"Eggs should be boiled in the shell to ensure that everyone gets a whole egg." Zhu Cihong admonished.

"Yes, Your Highness." Tian Cun said kindly: How dare I be greedy for those uncle's rations......

All the old people in the East Palace think that these newcomers are masters, but these recruits who are often beaten do not have the consciousness to be masters. They always simply believed that the prince treated them very well, and as for those who beat and scolded people, it was all the personal behavior of the brocade guards and eunuchs.

In fact, it is necessary to be strict on the training ground, which the prince has repeatedly emphasized.

Zhu Cihong leaned back on the back of the chair and asked Xiao Mo leisurely, "How are your grades?" ”

"Humble and talented, all of them are in the first class, and the overall score ranks second." Xiao Mo said.

The generals of the Han Dynasty are basically the sons of the generals, well-trained, well-nourished, and in superior stature, compared with a group of recruits who have just eaten a few days of food, they can be regarded as crushing. Xiao Mo is one of the leaders, and in recent years, he has become quite famous in the camp because of his good roles.

"Oh? Who is above you? Zhu Cihong said with a smile.

"It's tannins, and it's an old guard." Xiao Mo said.

"Tannin ......" Zhu Cihong opened the book, and sure enough, he saw that the person ranked first in the total score was a person with the number 2009, which should be the Han general who joined the military training after Xiao Mo. After carefully looking at the results of the tannins, Zhu Cihong pointed to the shot put and said, "This person threw the shot put far away, come to him." ”

Xiao Mo didn't dare to delay, turned around and left.
