"How's the training going?"

The second batch of army expansion is imminent, according to the latest news Lin Fei gets, the day of the Houjin Tatars entering the Kou is not far away, this time the Houjin Kou is extraordinary, Lin Fei's current forces want to get sufficient guarantees, they must make great contributions in this Houjin Kou, so that they can be promoted and make a fortune, and they can also ensure that their army can continue to expand!

Although the national strength of the Ming Dynasty is weakened now, a name is still quite important, and if Lin Fei wants to continue to expand his business, he must have a legal identity and status, so as to ensure that he will not set up too many enemies.

"Lord Qiqi, although the thousands of recruits this time are not as good as the last time, I am still sure that I will complete the training of recruits within three months!"

Ma Tieshan, who has a lot of experience in military training, said confidently.

"Very good, but three months is too long, two months, I will give you two months, ask for money to give money, ask for people, within two months, we must complete the basic training of recruits, this time we need to face a stronger and more dangerous enemy, the current size of the army, is no longer enough to protect our interests!"

Lin Fei said directly.

"Yes, the lowly work will definitely fulfill the great trust of the adult!"

Ma Tieshan hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and then took over the task, as for what conditions were needed, he didn't mention it, now that he has been under Lin Fei for many years, he also knows that as long as he can complete the task, he will not be stingy with what he needs, but the premise is that he can't make profits for himself!

"Okay, I really didn't misread you, this time the recruit training task is heavy, and the matter is extremely urgent, so let's see who can assist you, just ask, I'll give it to you!"

Recruit training is related to the expansion of Lin Fei's army, is the top priority, if the recruit period can not create a qualified team, then the subsequent training of the troops, there is no way to talk about it, can not meet Lin Fei's requirements at all.

Therefore, it is not only basic training, but it is the most critical part of the expansion of the army!

"Yes, sir. It just so happens that a few talents are needed for a humble position, and Zhang Xu, the captain of the shotgunners, is what I need, and this person has a lot of experience in training! ”

Ma Tieshan thought for a while and then spoke.

There are a total of ten shotguns, three teams, and one directly under the team A, forming a shotgun brigade, Zhang Xu Lin Fei also knows that he is a captain of the shotgun team, in his impression, this person can only be regarded as decent, barely qualified for the position of the captain of the shotgun team, but he didn't expect to be valued by Ma Tieshan in training.

After thinking about it at the moment, he said: "I didn't expect this Zhang Xu to be a training talent, okay, I'm approved, the captain of the shotgun team can continue to select, this training talent is rare, Zhang Xu will be under your command in the future, give him a promotion to a level, be an adjutant of the new barracks, and cooperate with you in training!" ”

"Thank you, sir!"

With the rise of various workshops, the continuous recruitment of craftsmen, and various water conservancy facilities have been put in place, 10,000 acres of wasteland have long been developed, and the remaining land that is not suitable for cultivation has also become various new workshops and breeding farms.

Now it can be said that Lin Fei's turf career has reached a bottleneck period, which is why he is in a hurry to train his troops, and only with a reasonable and legal identity can he have a larger territory, can he quickly break through the bottleneck, and develop stronger!

"My lord, this expedition, a total of 150,000 cattle and sheep were harvested, including 130,000 sheep and 20,000 cattle, these cattle have begun to be domesticated, with the advent of the statistical method that adults said, the survival rate of cattle is much higher, and now our 10,000 acres of wasteland can be completely cultivated with cattle, and a strong man can plant more than 50 acres of fields!"

Li Mingyuan, the chief financial officer, said excitedly.

"Oh, so how many ploughing cattle do we have now?"

Lin Fei asked with a smile, obviously in a good mood.

"Now there are 27,541 ploughing cattle, and there are more than 5,300 prairie cattle that have not worn nose rings, and I believe that after passing through, we should be able to make the number of ploughing cattle reach more than 32,000!"

Now with the popularization of statistics, the unity of various weights and measures, now all kinds of industries have a unified standard, and there are also scientific recording methods, so that the survival rate of grassland cattle into cultivated cattle is much higher, so that it has caused a dun fort in Pingxing Dun District, but tens of thousands of acres of cultivated land, there are so many cultivated cattle.

These ploughing cattle have greatly liberated the labor force under Lin Fei, and also allowed dozens of households to cultivate his 10,000 acres of fertile land, which have undergone various scientific plantings, and also let experienced old farmers serve as general guides, large-scale agricultural measures, the popularization of this scientific planting concept, and now the 10,000 acres of fertile land can provide rations for tens of thousands of people every year, which greatly reduces the pressure on Lin Fei's grain.

It also gives him more and more capital to recruit displaced people and build his own Pingxingdun.

"My lord, now that there are so many ploughing cattle, many merchants have come to buy our ploughing cattle, do you want to sell them?"

Li Mingyuan asked.

"Cattle continue to be raised on the farm and cannot be sold!"

Lin Fei immediately refused, these cultivated cattle are sold, at most hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, but in the future, he will expand his territory and open up more acres, what is the number of tens of thousands of cultivated cattle, in the future, the number of these cultivated cattle may not be enough, how can he sell it.

Lin Fei will keep these agricultural products under his command, and some of them can be sold as industrial products to make money.

For example, the most profitable soap is now almost 100,000 taels per month, and with the continuous expansion of the sales scope of the Jinshang network, this profit will be even higher.

All kinds of small steel mills, cement factories are also gradually launched, these are all money-making tools, and now glass manufacturing is not far from the scale, it can be said that Lin Fei's investment is now blossoming and bearing fruit, and the textile factory is gradually heading up, becoming the largest industry in the overall scale.

These industries are the most profitable, how could Lin Fei sell the precious farming cattle for hundreds of thousands of taels, these are future capital and strategic materials!

"It's an adult, it's a villain who is abrupt!"

Li Mingyuan hurriedly bent down and said.

"It's not your fault, it's also that you care too much about how much money we have in our hands, remember that money is only valuable if it is used, and if it is not used, it is just a stone!"

Lin Fei smiled and said earnestly.

Now Lin Fei is not only leaving the necessary silver, but also frantically purchasing all kinds of scarce materials, such as grain, such as various industrial raw materials, the more these things are stored, the more he will not be controlled by others at the critical moment, and there will be sufficient buffer time!
