Zheng Chen wants this kind of result, as long as they are enterprising, they can stimulate their potential, now it is only a primary election, the thousand people left behind are not fixed, they will be assessed once a month, if someone is surpassed by any of these four thousand people, they will be eliminated, and then let the person who surpasses him be on top.

Only in this way will the 1,000 people selected not be complacent, but with a sense of urgency, to stimulate their potential.

After all, these 1,000 people are several times the salary of ordinary soldiers, and they have meat to eat at every meal, although the training is hard, it is much better than the previous ones who had no last meal, and more importantly, their families will be taken care of if they stay.

In the following month, Zheng Chen asked them to line up, stand in a military posture, and stop their words and deeds, and a month later, 500 out of a thousand people were replaced, and 200 people who ate and drank were driven away by Zheng Chen.

After this time, these people who stayed behind trained harder, and they were more attentive when they learned to read at night, which would really be driven away, and no one wanted to go to the days when they didn't have enough to eat before.

Another month passed, and only three or five of the 1,000 main forces were eliminated this time, and the remaining more than 3,000 people also had the appearance of elite soldiers, but the weapons made by Cui Bei had not yet been delivered, and these people could only practice the fake trick.

Zheng Chen also asked Cui Bei's subordinates a few times why he hadn't come back for so long, and Cui Bei's subordinates said that he had important things to do.

It wasn't until the fifth month that Cui Bei returned, and he came back with the weapons Zheng Chen needed.

"Brother Zheng, fortunately, I have brought you all the weapons you want. It's just that you only said that you would accept 1,000 people, and I couldn't help you get the remaining 3,000 people's weapons, after all, these weapons are too expensive to build and take a lot of time. Cui Bei's title has changed.

Zheng Chen could feel that he was more interested in himself, and Zheng Chen also understood that it was already very good for Cui Bei to be able to do this, and he needed a lot of money to support these thousands of people.

"Brother Cui is polite, these 3,000 people and 800 people are not my people, they will be your soldiers in the future, of course you will have to solve the weapons, as for what weapons to give is your business." Zheng Chen shrugged his shoulders and said.

"You mean really?" Cui Bei asked Zheng Chen with an excited tone, although he was not here during this time, his subordinates would report to him every half a month about the matters here.

Although these 3,800 people are not as powerful as the 1,000 people, they are not weaker than the elite soldiers in the army, and if they can obtain these elite soldiers, they will definitely be able to make a lot of military exploits.

I already knew that their Cui family used Zheng Chen's training method to train their private soldiers, and their private soldiers were twice as strong as the original after only three months of training.

"Of course it's true, with these weapons, I can train them for another three months before they can go into battle, and then you can take these people away."

"Hey... Thank you Brother Zheng for your kindness, but I can't afford to raise these three thousand people, and you give it to me so that they will meet the Cui family...... "Cui Bei can't afford to raise it, you must know that if you behead a Mengyuan person, you will have two taels of silver, and it is no problem to hunt and kill a small group of Mengyuan people with these elite soldiers, after all, most of those Mengyuan people are scattered, usually a dozen or twenty enter the village to burn and rob...

It's just that the family can't let him have so many elite soldiers, and it would be good to be able to leave him eight hundred.

"It's okay, when we make money in the future, we will raise more troops, and I have thought of a way to make money again..."

Zheng Chen's words made Cui Bei's eyes light up, and he hurriedly asked, "What is the best way?" ”

Zheng Chen told Cui Bei about the method of drying salt, and Cui Bei thanked him and left after hearing it.

After another three months, in winter, Cui Bei returned to the mine again.

"Brother Zheng, your salt drying method really works, not only saves time and effort, but also has a high yield, just three months we can produce enough for the whole country to produce a year...... "Cui Bei said excitedly.

This time I went back Cui Bei's status in the family climbed again, his name has entered the family tree, although there is no chance to compete for the head of the family, but the status is not the same, and the resources that can be mobilized are more, and the more than 3,000 elite soldiers do not need to be handed over to the family.

"By the way, did you sell the salt to the Mengyuan people?" Zheng Chen guessed that the Cui family must have a lot of large salt farms, otherwise they would not produce so much, but they would definitely not only sell so much in three months. So it can only be sold to Mengyuan people.

"Yes, I can't hide anything from Brother Zheng..."Cui Bei said a little embarrassed.

"Brother Cui doesn't have to be like this, the salt can be sold to them, but I hope Brother Cui can add something..."Zheng Chen knows that salt is a huge profit, and the amount is large, and there is a shortage of salt on the side of the Mengyuan people, and the Cui family will definitely not let go of this fat sheep.

As for the national feud, these families do not attach so much importance to them, and everything is based on the interests of the family.

"Brother Zheng, do you also agree that we sell salt to the Mengyuan people? And what do you say should be added? Cui Bei thought that Zheng Chen hated Meng Yuanren as much as his brother, but now he was relieved to hear him say this.

"Wushisan..."Zheng Chen knew that Wushisan was equivalent to opium in the future, as long as Mengyuan people took it for a long time, their combat effectiveness would definitely decrease.

"It's... It's not good, if it is discovered..."Cui Bei hesitated a little, after all, the harm of Wushisan is too great, and the price is not low.

"I didn't let you add too much, just a small amount, you follow the ......" Zheng Chen said the method, and Cui Bei reluctantly agreed.

Half a month later, Zheng Chen took the soldiers he trained to the border, and the Mengyuan people came more than 30,000 people this time, Zheng Chen did not ask to kill them all, only half of them were enough.

It took Zheng Chen another half a month for them to reach the border village, and found that several people from the village had been killed, and the corpses were everywhere, Zheng Chen vomited for a long time when he saw this tragic situation, and many soldiers were also uncomfortable, but they were much better than Zheng Chen.

"Brother Zheng, the battlefield is even bloodier than this, just get used to it." Cui Bei walked over and comforted.

"Newspaper... Three hundred Mengyuan people were found a hundred miles away..."Without waiting for Zheng Chen to speak, the scout came back to report.

"Gather everyone..."Zheng Chen immediately ordered everyone to gather.

After everyone gathered, Zheng Chen said to them: "You have already seen the situation in this village, how cruel the Mengyuan people are, I don't know how many of our compatriots have died at their hands.

If we don't stop them, our relatives will also be brutally killed by the Mengyuan people in the future, so you have to do your best in the next battle, don't be afraid, they are all carrying a head on one shoulder, and he is not invincible in Mengyuan..."
