When Mr. Liang sorted it out, and also accumulated a group of gentlemen who had mastered the meaning of this strange book, he invited scribes to teach "Logic", "Theory of Heavenly Evolution" and "Dialectics" on a trial basis for the sergeants of the Lianrui Army. Gentlemen are invited to give lectures on the Theory of Elements and the Laws of Mechanics to the craftsmen of the Craftsman Workshop. Wu Yingying gently patted the covers of those books, as if they were really books from the Western Regions. In front of him sat Xiao Jiu and Chase, the commanders of the Lian Rui Army. Xiao Jiu had read those books, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but doubt: "Lord, the sergeants have just learned to read and write, and although the strange books of the Western Regions are profound, they don't seem to be suitable for teaching to the sergeants. The implication of his words is that even if the sergeants are taught in this era, most of them talk about the way of loyalty to the monarch and the country, and they have not taught such profound knowledge to the sergeants, and the sergeants are rude men and may not be able to learn.

What Xiao Jiu said was also the truth, Wu Yingying frowned, and sighed: "I'm still too impatient." Then please ask the gentleman to teach the sergeants the "Theory of Heavenly Evolution" first, so that they can know the truth of natural selection, and if they do not rise up, they will perish. Soldiers are the foundation of our country, and they should be wise and not confused. The other two books will be taught to the tax collectors first. Xiao Jiu and Chase both replied yes in a deep voice. Most of the tax collectors recruited by Chase were scholars, and he himself had read the books of the Western Regions, and felt that although the "Logic" and "Dialectics" were exquisite, they were not as thought-provoking as the "Theory of Heavenly Evolution".

Wu Yingying asked again: "What is the progress of the Military Intelligence Department's instigation of civilian military academies?"

Chase hurriedly said: "At present, more than a dozen military schools have been set up in various states and counties, and at first a few were established by the Military Intelligence Department, and later the people saw that the students in the military schools could learn the skills needed in the army, and it was easier for them to become sergeants, so they sent their children in to practice art. The wealthy merchants and gentry from all over the country saw that this military school was profitable, and that it could also increase the opportunities for local children to become sergeants, and strengthen the power of their fellow villagers in the army, so they also established military schools one after another. What he didn't say was that because Anxi implemented the sergeant-shade household system, if a large family did not have a sergeant to support the façade, it would inevitably be lightened, which is the same as the Central Plains people's family must provide a show to come out. In a short period of time, the civilian military schools have blossomed everywhere, and the various skills taught are also uneven, but on the whole, the military academies are cultivating new blood for the army, and with the current selection of sergeants in various armies, only 12 out of 12 men who enter the military academy can successfully become sergeants, and the rest will change to other industries after seeing that there is no hope, which seems to be a waste of money and energy, but in fact, the entire Anxi prefectures and counties have also reserved a group of men who initially understand various combat skills。

Wu Yingying nodded with satisfaction, and said in a deep voice: "This military academy not only has to practice martial arts, but also to learn literature, when the time is right, illiterate men will not be able to become sergeants, let this rumor go first." ”

Seeing that Chase had written it down carefully, Wu Yingying asked Xiao Jiu again: "Are the sergeants still used to drinking mare's milk?" Xiao Jiu said: "I eat mare's milk all day long, and I have diarrhea." Wu Yingying sighed: "Adapt to it for a while, if you really can't adapt to it, you will be transferred from the Lian Rui Army, but the ones who are supplemented must be reliable sergeants." There was not so much food for a long march. The training of the elite army should accumulate experience in expeditionary training for other corps. Chase quipped: "Now the sergeant of the Lianrui Army is dressed in a horse, which can be compared to the Hussars of Xingu." Wu Yingying smiled: "That's exactly what it is." After carefully discussing the details of how the tax collector's mansion in charge of Chase and the baggage department in charge of Xiao Jiu were in charge of how to communicate and cooperate, Xiao Jiu and Chase got up and said goodbye.

In the inn next to the official road in Lingzhou, Liang De and Sun Tai were begging for this Sun shopkeeper: "Master, you promise to go to the military academy to teach archery, one day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father, just think about it, in the future, how many sergeants and masters will have to respectfully call 'master' when they see you, maybe there are centurions and captains among them." Shut down this inn, you went to the military academy to be the head of the teaching, and my two brothers led the horse and stirrups for you, and fanned and made tea. Shopkeeper Sun's eyes glared: "Bah, what's the matter, I don't want this month's salary? He took a sip of tea and continued, "Did I learn this archery skill from the military academy? I saw that you two were quite diligent in your work, so I instructed you. If the two of you go to the military academy, it will be a waste of money, it is better to save up and ask for a daughter-in-law. Shopkeeper Sun licked the saliva at the corner of his mouth rather unvividly.

"Master, in the future, if you join the army, you will not only have to test your archery skills, but also heard that in the future, as long as you are literate, you must be able to memorize military orders, you will also be able to disassemble and assemble crossbow machines, cut wood for siege guns, and learn to ride Mongolian horses to march. ”

"Nonsense, what's the matter, are you joining the army or taking the test for Xiucai!" Shopkeeper Sun replied angrily, he himself came to Hexi with the lord in Lanzhou, and it is not clear what the army looks like, to be honest, he was not ambiguous when he went to the city to shoot arrows.

"Really, it is said that these are all rules that the lord is going to promulgate, and the lord seems to be the same outside, and the lord said," Sun Tai straightened his face, tried his best to imitate the appearance of Wu Yingying in his imagination, cleared his throat, and said, "If the infantry sergeant does not know any of these things, then he is not qualified to be a sergeant." ”

Shopkeeper Sun frowned and scolded: "Go, go, the words of the lord can also reach your ears." At this time, a person walked in outside the store, and the shopkeeper Sun looked up, but said with a smile: "Brother Cai, if you don't come for a long time, the business of the shop must be getting more and more prosperous." ”

It was Cai Blacksmith who came in, and when it came to Hexi to re-register everyone's skills, he did not hesitate to report the identity of the blacksmith, and after showing his skills, the hussars recognized his identity as a craftsman, and his household registration was hung under the baggage division, which could shelter twenty households. Anxi Jun rewarded the households who followed Wu Yingying from Lanzhou to Hexi to move a sum of money, and after confirming the identity of the craftsman, the Baggage Division issued him a reward, and later the big merchant gang Fuhaixing heard that his blacksmith skills were extraordinary, and came to the door to open a large blacksmith workshop with him, and also provided him with pig iron materials according to his needs. In addition to the fact that many of the hussars' armor and blades were built by his blacksmith shop, the increasingly strong style of martial arts practice greatly increased the demand for weapons, almost in short supply, and Cai's blacksmith's shop opened bigger and bigger, and there were more and more apprentices.

"It's okay," Cai blacksmith smiled, a few days ago he took over a large single armor business, not only the armor of the cavalry, but also the armor of the war horse, which is specially used for armor and cavalry, a set of armor weighs more than eighty pounds, the blacksmith shop has been working day and night according to the pattern given by the hussars, and finally completed, Cai blacksmith himself looked at the armor that was as dark as a steel fortress, and he was proud of his achievements. Then I went to my old friend Sun Gouzi to drink tea.

"Brother, you are too modest, these days, no one in any business has made a fortune in a blacksmith shop. Sun Gouzi personally brought a pot of tea, and there was money from Cai Blacksmith in this inn, and Liang De and Sun Tai next to him were also busy hugging him, rubbing the table, pouring tea, and being very busy.
