What surprised Song Zhi even more was that when the people who came and went to the market walked, they unconsciously walked like a column, like a long-trained general, with the unique fierceness of a military man.

Not only that, the people who come and go are strong and full of qi and blood, not to mention that they have all practiced martial arts in terms of breath, although in Song Zhi's opinion, they are not in the stream, but they are also quite amazing.

Such disciplined and strong people are simply the best source of soldiers.

There are at least more than 100,000 young men and women in the entire Wuhou territory, if their physical fitness is of such a level, then they can be transformed into a powerful source of soldiers at any time.

If the situation is urgent, if Wu Hou mobilizes regardless of the limit of territorial losses, he can at least mobilize 300,000 elite soldiers, which is an extremely amazing force!

Thinking of this, Song Zhi was shocked and worried.

What is surprising is that Wu Hou has accumulated such a strong foundation without making a sound, even if the Lingnan Song Valve is mobilized to the limit, he can gather at most 200,000 troops, and most of them are untrained and not very good in combat power.

Lingnan is not as good as Taihu Lake and Qiantang County, where there are dense jungles everywhere, the development and utilization rate of land is pitifully low, coupled with the monopoly of the Song Dynasty and the barbarians in the mountains, it is impossible to imagine that Wu Houling would let the people have enough to eat like this.

If you don't eat enough, your body will not have the strength, and if you haven't undergone long-term training and training, how can you become an elite soldier?

Walking around the streets of Qiantang City a few times with his heart, and reducing the so-called nothing but made Song Zhi admire.

He also discovered a strange phenomenon, there was not a single idle half-grown man on the street, and the green-skinned ruffian simply disappeared.

Curious, he took a few of his guards in civilian clothes into a noisy restaurant.

Although Song Zhi is young, he also knows that the restaurant is a place where news gathers, and it is also the place where folk news spreads the fastest in a city or a place.

Sure enough, he didn't disappoint, and quickly solved the doubts in his heart from the mouths of local drinkers.

Boy Scout! Boys' Army!

It is no wonder that there are almost no children running around on the streets, and there are young people who are energetic but have no ability to support their families, and they are idle teenagers, it turns out that they have all been indicated by Wu Hou's army and entered these two military camps.

As you can tell from the name, these two places are dedicated to the training of children and teenagers.

It's just that......

Song Zhi's doubts rose again, and the young people said that although they couldn't shoulder the burden of supporting their families, they at least knew what was right and wrong, and at the same time, they could understand the military orders and do training.

But a six- or seven-year-old boy can't practice at all, right?

But listening to what the drinkers in the restaurant said, they are very relieved of the so-called Boy Scouts and Boy Scouts, and hope that their children can be trained well, and if they learn the ability to not mix in the barracks in the future, they can easily find a good job to support their families after they come out.

Isn't that nonsense?

A group of well-trained boys and teenagers who haven't learned the stereotypes and bad habits in the barracks are already very good, and they still want to learn all their skills?

Song Zhi wondered if the drunkards who sent their children to the Boy Scouts and the Boy Scouts were so bad that they couldn't even see the idea clearly?

It wasn't until much later that he realized that it was not the parents who sent their children to the barracks who had broken their brains, but that he was not familiar with Wu Houling's rules and guidelines at all.

Lei Hu has always had the idea of universal education, and only when the cultural level of universal education is improved, there will be a steady stream of talents from all walks of life in the territory.

Unfortunately, at this time, the mainstream was that the family gate valve controlled all the resources, and the common people basically did not have access to and learn useful cultural knowledge.

There is also a academy here, which is also monopolized by the scholars and the strong, even if there are occasional children from poor families who enter the study, it is only because of the relationship with the scholars that they have a great relationship.

Besides, the so-called Hanmen are also local landlords who are not strong, and they are not short of money and food, but they lack valuable books, so they can only bow their heads to the wealthy families for the opportunity to learn more knowledge.

As for the common people, they don't even have the opportunity to read.

They have to run for a livelihood every day, and they have to pay too much energy and thought for the sake of satiety, how can they have the opportunity and confidence to ponder the opportunity to learn cultural knowledge and squeeze into the circle of scholars?

Moreover, the wealthy families do not allow the forces in the world to popularize education on a large scale, once they appear, they will be strangled by their madness, and they will definitely not allow the black sheep to shake the foundation of the Shi clan.

Lei Hu is not afraid of the suppression of the noble clan, but he doesn't have the heart to entangle with these guys all day long, and he doesn't want to become a target bird.

Therefore, Wu Houling did not appear in Mengxue, as well as various schools that impart knowledge, not because Lei Hu did not have a gentleman in his hands, but that such an institution could not be opened at all.

It is not possible to open a universal education in Mongolia, but Lei Hu has a way to save the country, that is, to create a boy scout and a boy army.

It is claimed to be the reserve talent pool of Wu Hou's army, but in fact it is a school in disguise, but it is a school with strict militarized management.

Anyway, the literacy of the army under Lei Hu has become a rule, and the boy scouts and boy soldiers, who are reserve talent pools, naturally have to be literate and literate.

Just as Song Zhi sneered, a group of six, seven or eight-year-old boys couldn't conduct military drills at all, and Lei Hu had never thought of training them in the way of an army since he formed the Boy Scouts.

If that's the case, I'm afraid that few children will grow up alive.

It's just the popularization of gymnastics and five grappling games, basically half of the time to play various forging games under the knowledge of the instructor, and the other half of the time is the time to read and write.

Keju, badminton, rattan ball and other sports are enough for the little boys who participate in the Boy Scouts to get enough exercise every day, and Wu Hou provides them with three meals a day and a change of season uniform.

In addition to the above, the Cadet Army also had some simple military training, and the food and uniforms in the barracks were also provided free of charge by the Hou Mansion.

Whether it is a boy scout or a boy army, it is mandatory to join, no matter what the background is, you must enter when you are old anyway, otherwise you will become a territorial outlier, and at the same time, you have to pay a fine that is getting higher and higher every year, and only the powerful family of the Zishi clan can afford it.

This is also the main reason why Song Zhi did not see children and teenagers on the street, they all nested in the military camp to receive both civil and military education.

The people naturally welcomed this, not only because the Hou Mansion helped them raise their children, which saved them from a great burden on the family, but also allowed their children to learn real skills in the military camp, which was the main reason why they were willing to cooperate.

Despite this, there are fewer helpers in the family's farm work, but they don't care much, it's just a matter of working for a while, if they can't even endure this hardship, they won't be able to grow up as adults in this early Sui Dynasty when productivity is extremely low.

As for the street, why I didn't see the bustling market next to it, there were always indispensable green-skinned ruffians, that is, the government was effectively controlled.

Although Wu Houling is already regarded as one of the best places in the southern region, it is not easy to feed the people and have a head for the future.

But Lei Hu is obviously not satisfied, the development potential of the territory is very large, and he will naturally not be satisfied with this state of small wealth and peace.

Therefore, all kinds of infrastructure projects in the territory have not stopped.

It requires a large amount of labor, and although most of the labor is the responsibility of the production and construction corps in various localities, there are still some tasks that are extremely labor-intensive and relatively dangerous, and it is difficult for the people of the production and construction corps to do it.

The strong soldiers of the garrisons in various places can occasionally do work, but they can't leave the barracks for a long time, and this is when the green-skinned ruffians who grasp the troops from all over the country come in handy.

They will be formed into labor camps by local governments and convicts, and they will be responsible for those tasks that are extremely laborious, dangerous, or require long hours of labor, until a certain period of time, when they can sign the government's guarantee and no longer be idle.

It is precisely because of all kinds of strict measures that the whole Qiantang County gives Song Zhi an excellent impression, not only is it neat and clean, there is hardly much domestic garbage on the street, and the order of the market is unexpected, giving people a very comfortable feeling, and at a glance I feel that this is a good place.

A great place indeed!

After Song Zhi wandered around for a few days, his mood slowly became heavy, but it was not easy to show it.

In the past, the power of the Lingnan Song Valve was dominant in the south, and in terms of family power and resources that could be used, perhaps only the Nanchen royal family, and a few important ministers, could be a little stronger than the Lingnan Song Valve.

But the Sui Dynasty was destroyed in the south, and the Lingnan Song Dynasty had become a veritable number one force in the south, and there was no one.

Especially when the Lingnan Song Lords and the Shanman Coalition defeated the 300,000 Sui army and forced the Sui Emperor to sign a peace agreement of non-interference, the momentum of the Lingnan Song Lords reached its peak.

Song Zhi has always been proud of this, although the eldest brother Heavenly Sword Song Que has great respect for Wu Hou, and Wu Hou Lei Hu has also revealed stronger martial arts than the eldest brother, he has not wavered in the slightest.

But now, the faith in his heart has been shaken.

The leopard in the tube can be seen, although he has only wandered around Qiantang County where the Hou Mansion is located for a few laps, but the atmosphere revealed by the territory of Wu Hou, the breath of striving for progress, and the strength that is faintly unclear make him can't help but be frightened, and the results of the Lingnan Song valve make him even more depressed.

Wuhou Leihu quietly, he had silently accumulated a very amazing strength, just in terms of money, food, materials and the strength of the number of troops, he was depressed to find that the Lingnan Song Valve might not be an opponent anymore.

It's a cruel reality!

Song Zhi was very depressed, but he didn't show it on his face, so as not to make Wu Hou look down on him.

On this day, Wu Hou gathered his request for a meeting again, and Song Zhixin was also helpless, so he had to continue to wander the bustling and noisy streets with his guards.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, he looked in the direction of the city gate, and just saw a beautiful woman, followed by several men with different breaths.

"It's the master of the Yin Kwai Sect, why did they come here?"
