On the third day, more than 700 laborers were gathered by the 100 households. In addition, the seventy or eighty carpenters and plasterers hired by Zheng Zhen gathered at the fortress of Qianhusuo.

Wu Shigong arranged for them: Ignore the outer city wall first, first build the inner wall, build a good house, and let their people live in first. Then, the outer walls were built.

Among the craftsmen that Zheng Zhen hired in the county seat, there was an old craftsman surnamed Jiang who was their foreman. The foreman Jiang said to Wu Shigong: "My lord, it will take two months to do this work." ”

Wu Shigong categorically offered a reward: "Quality and quantity, forty days to complete." The official will add 30% to your wages. Okay? ”

Of course it works. Foreman Jiang hurriedly agreed with a smile. The construction period he originally said was to put a margin. Now, with a little bit of urgency, it can definitely be done.

Wu Shigong is also anxious now, and he can move in early and rest assured a day. Otherwise, when the walls and houses inside are built, it will be the wax moon. At this time, the rebuilding of the outer city wall will definitely not be completed before the Chinese New Year. And for the Chinese New Year, it is impossible for others to work here. Unless Wu Shigong pays a lot of money. In contrast, the money that Wu Shigong has paid now is a small amount of money.

After deciding on it, a group of people started working in full swing.

And after arriving in the town, not only Yang Goudan had nothing to do, but these guards also began to be idle. In just a few days, these guards fought four times with the people in the town. Investigate the root cause, all of them are for the fans.

The reason for this fight is, of course, because the locals are bullying the outsiders. Think about it, what good goods will be sold in this town. It's just a bunch of prostitutes. With this kind of goods, you all have to be jealous? You guards, don't disgrace your uncle and master, okay?

This made Wu Shigong angry: "I didn't pay you any military salaries, but only the spoils after beating Zhuangzi." That's a few hundred dollars per person, and you're all like that. If I pay the army, then you don't have to go into estrus en masse! ”

Pushing the boat down the river, Wu Shigong announced to these guards: "Each guard will be paid one tael of silver every month, and the rest of the two taels will be stored here with Wu Shigong, and they will be received after approval when needed." Or send the account back to the Yangwu Hou Mansion, and let the Yangwu Hou Mansion send it to the families of these guards. ”

Unexpectedly, none of these guards had any objections. And they all said that they would give the money to their families. At that time, people were quite family-oriented. These guards also knew that following Wu Shigong, there was actually nothing to spend money on. Food, clothing, housing and transportation, Wu Shigong will give them all covered. They just need to be at ease and protect Wu Shigong.

After discussing with Xue Yongli, Wu Shigong decided: Start the training of these guards immediately. At present, Xue Yongli is in charge of the training of cavalry tactics.

Before training, Wu Shigong first asked these guards to unify their names. Let them call themselves "Adult" or "Senhe-sama".

Now, these guards are too confused to call Wu Shigong. Like Zhou Xun, a few of them came out of the soldiers and horses, and called Wu Shigong "adult"; The guards of the Xue Mansion called Wu Shigong "uncle"; And the gambling house guards called Wu Shigong "master". This is still not in Shumo, otherwise, Wu Shigong's title would be more "young master".

After listening to Wu Shigong's order, these guards all agreed. This is also the proper meaning, and it should be called uniformly in the army.

However, in later life, these guards stubbornly preserved the title of Wu Shigong. As long as it is in private, they will definitely revert to their original name. Even Zhou Xun and Qian Qi called Wu Shigong "the old commander".

Wu Shigong corrected it several times to no avail, so he had to go with them. Later, Wu Shigong realized that these guards would do this precisely to show in front of others: The relationship between these guards and Wu Shigong is very close.

Xue Yongli divided the guards into two groups, one for training and one for guarding in the town. And Wu Shigong proposed to Xue Yongli: He will also be trained. Xue Yongli looked Wu Shigong up and down for a long time, and finally nodded in agreement.

When the training began, Wu Shigong knew that Xue Yongli Weishenme would be looking at himself for a long time. Because, when Xue Yongli was training, when anyone's actions were not standard, the foul language he scolded was simply unbearable.

Xue Yongli put the training ground in the open space of the school field of the Thousand Households Fortress. When the training began, Wu Shigong learned that in ancient times, the training of military riding was completely different from that in modern TV dramas. It is not the same as the equestrian performance of the circus.

Xue Yongli just let the guards ride their horses and constantly arrange the formation. Then, together with a horse trot, accelerate, zuihou sprint. Then all the men dismounted, fed the horses, and let them rest. Then get on the horse, and together on the horse trot, accelerate, zuihou sprint. Just train over and over again. In Wu Shigong's eyes, there is no romantic feeling of cavalry wielding sabers and galloping on horseback.

And in the process of training, because everyone else has more or less some riding training foundation. Therefore, Wu Shigong and the recruit Yang Rusong unfortunately became the biggest victims of Xue Yongli's mouth.

And Wu Shigong endured it like this, he silently recited in his heart: "Famous teachers produce high apprentices, famous teachers produce high apprentices......" Under the command of Xue Yongli, this boring training was carried out repeatedly. And Wu Shigong's performance made the guards, including Xue Yongli, look at him with admiration.

During the interval of training, Xue Yongli said to Wu Shigong: "In fact, the most basic tactic of cavalry is to line up the cavalry formation and use the speed and weight of the horse to rush away from the opponent's formation. Only when you have fully mastered this formation will you be able to accept the next training in the use of weapons on horses. ”

Xue Yongli also said to Wu Shigong: "Actually, the training of cavalry is very boring, and there are no fancy moves at all. It's all about being as simple and practical as possible. The goal is to kill the enemy as quickly as possible. ”

Wu Shigong agrees with Xue Yongli's statement in his heart: "In fact, no matter what you do well, the process is extremely boring. ”

Those laborers looked at Wu Shigong and them, and every day they rushed over and rushed over on horseback like a group of fools. When they were working and resting, they often smiled and pointed at the side.

One day, when he was in high spirits to see these laborers, Wu Shigong asked them: Who wants to come to Wu Shigong to be a soldier after the end of labor?

Hearing Wu Shigong's inquiry, these laborers were dumbfounded, and they were all silent about Wu Shigong. After a long while, a bold talent said to Wu Shigong: "Thousands of households, the small ones still have to farm, and they really don't have time to be soldiers!" ”

So, Wu Shigong proposed as they proposed: he will pay the soldiers' salaries.

However, Wu Shigong just said: "As long as the soldiers are selected, they will first receive 50% of the military salary." Before Wu Shigong could continue, all of these laborers enthusiastically signed up.

Of course, Wu Shigong was very happy. However, he also felt that this situation was very strange. Now, on the contrary, he is not in a hurry. He decided to find out the situation first, and then decide how many soldiers should be recruited.
