Chapter Twenty-Three: The Autumn Harvest Ends

The drill ground was in full swing for a long run, and those who couldn't hold on quickly glanced at a few large buckets in the center of the playground. It is said that it is a broth that can only be eaten by those who have completed training.

The vat exudes a strong aroma of flesh, stimulating every cell in the body of every soldier.

Lin Hai was keeping a straight face, monitoring the training team with a serious face to see if anyone was left behind.

The previous training focused too much on stabbing and attacking, and even neglected the physical endurance of the soldiers. Even under the stimulus of food, as usual, someone will be left behind.

The large army ran around the drill ground for ten laps, and gradually the footsteps of a sparse and sparse few people slowed down, falling behind the team, forming a small tail of the team.

The training ground is very large, and for the first time today, Lin Hai set a goal of fifteen laps, and gradually increase the number of laps in the future.

Most of them are young and strong young men, and more than 1,900 people have reached the standard in today's fifteen laps, and only about 30 people can't keep up with the pace and gradually fall behind.

Lin Hai didn't even look at the thirty people who were dejected, and waved his hand to let the people who insisted on completing the task go to the cafeteria to sit.

A group of servants carried the barrels containing the broth into the cafeteria, and the rice princess sent a large number of them early, and now it has been steamed into crystal clear rice.

Each person held two bowls, and a dozen servants served them a large bowl of rice and a large bowl of broth.

Each bowl of broth contains a large number of pieces of meat, which is fragrant.

Lin Hai walked in and said, "Eat slowly, don't choke, the quantity is well prepared, and you can add it at any time after eating." ”

That being said, a group of young men who have consumed so much physical energy have already started to beat in their stomachs, and at this time, looking at such a tempting meal, they have already thrown off their arms and buried themselves in eating.

The thirty people behind Lin Hai swallowed their saliva when they saw this, smelling the rich fragrance, but they couldn't eat a mouthful.

Their lunch was multigrain cakes, and Lin Hai specially instructed them to take care of enough multigrain cakes, not afraid of not being full. So they could only watch the others eat meat, they gulped down on multigrain cakes to vent their anger, and secretly swore in their hearts that they would not be left behind next time.

Xu Jiao sent people to buy a large amount of rice and meat from the people, mixed the rice, noodles and meat he brought from the palace, and spent dozens of tasks to buy a large amount of meat, and then sent people to the barracks.

The servants didn't know how much Xu Jiao bought, nor how much she brought over, nor did they notice the large amount of meaty rice and noodles that came out of thin air.

That's enough stuff to last two to three months of intense training.

Ding Rong quickly made the tools used for training, Xu Jiao immediately sent people to the training ground to install them, and Lin Hai immediately put these tools into use, which was already quite a prototype of modern field army drills.

Long-distance running is gradually turning into weight-bearing running, and the number of laps is gradually increasing, but the number of people who are left behind is gradually decreasing. There was really not enough physical fitness, so they also ran to exercise in the afternoon and evening, and the troops completed a qualitative leap in physical fitness in a short period of time.

Xu Jiao is still not enough, she wants a team that must not only be able to fight, but also obedient enough, and there can be no two voices in the barracks.

Standing in the military posture is the best way to develop the endurance of soldiers, and recently, she has been participating in the daily training of soldiers in the barracks every day.

The soldiers often stood in a military posture all day, and there was a special person next to them who was responsible for monitoring their movements with a ruler, and the slightest change would cause the ruler to fall.

It's more tiring than any other workout.

It's not just the military posture, Xu Jiao arranges for eloquent people to give them lessons every night, instilling the rules and regulations in the booklet, so that they can strengthen their belief that obeying orders is the duty of a soldier.

Daily life also needs to be standardized, Lin Hai set out to let their respective captains keep an eye on internal affairs, the quilts should be folded into tofu blocks, and shoes and clothes have special places. There is a limit to the speed of assembly, so as to achieve the maximum degree of order and prohibition.

"System, how many points are in their state now?" Looking at the neatly arranged soldiers in front of her, Xu Jiao secretly asked about the system in her heart.

"Let me be healthy, at present, the level of this group of soldiers has reached 70, which is not enough." The system immediately told her the result.

Xu Jiao secretly began to think, after these days of training, she thought that their physical fitness was definitely passable, why was it not qualified?

Xu Jiao beckoned Lin Hai over: "What do you think of them now?" ”

Hearing the princess's question, Lin Hai immediately replied: "The princess's training methods are extremely superb, in vain I used to think that they were already elite soldiers, but I didn't expect the army to be trained like this." ”

Lin Hai said this from the bottom of his heart, the group of teams in front of him exuded great strength, every movement was uniform and in good order, if this kind of team had 200,000 or 300,000 ......

Lin Hai didn't dare to think about it, a team of 2,000 people, such a training had already consumed countless materials, and a team of hundreds of thousands could not afford to consume it at all.

"No, it's not enough." Xu Jiao shook her head.

For an elite soldier, physical fitness alone is not enough, neatness is not enough, and obedience is not enough.

"From today onwards, they will need to attend a cultural lesson for an hour every night before going to bed."

Hearing Xu Jiao's arrangement, Lin Hai was shocked, reading is impossible for ordinary people, and what do soldiers do when they read the Four Books and Five Classics?

Before Lin Hai could refute, Xu Jiao continued: "It's not to read the Four Books and Five Classics to them, but to teach them literacy, the art of war, and the battle formation. You can't be a brainless reckless man. ”

Xu Jiao felt that the side quest in the second phase was much more difficult than the first phase, and it had been more than a month, and she had not yet completed this task. But she also understands that haste is not enough.

At the same time, the autumn harvest is over.

This year's Zhongxiang City only collected 20% of the tax, and it is really worthy of the barren name here, such a large city, including so many counties and cities inside and out, and the tax collected is not even comparable to the 10% tax of half of Qianyue City.

"Go and call Taishou to come over." Xu Jiao ordered someone to call Zhong Xiang Taishou, and Taishou found that Xu Jiao had been running to the barracks this month, and he didn't come to disturb her.

Now Xu Jiao called him, and he immediately ran over.

Xu Jiao brought a lot of sweet potato seedlings, the system gave her high-quality sweet potatoes can be planted all year round, and now it is almost November, if you plant sweet potatoes, you can harvest in winter.

The system told her that this kind of sweet potato will reduce the yield in winter, and it will not reach the yield of 10,000 catties per mu, but there should be eight or nine thousand catties.

"You arrange for Zhongxiang's farmers to plant these, and the people around me will come and tell you how to plant them later."

Zhong Xiang Taishou looked at the sack placed in the center of the living room, he had heard that the princess had made a new crop in the palace, but he didn't know the rest of the information.

Zhong Xiang is the princess's fiefdom, she can do whatever she wants, not to mention just planting a crop.

At that moment, Taishou immediately responded and sent someone to drive a car to transport this batch of sweet potato seedlings back to Taishou Mansion.
