"King, they are all pawns of the Tiger Army."

The big Sima Sun who followed Qingji said slowly.

Qingji stood there, watching the drills of the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army.

These half-grown teenagers were all dressed in simple leather armor, their hair was tied, and they all held unopened spears and swords in their hands for training.

"Queue—"

With the order of a school captain, the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army who were in training immediately quickly gathered together, and under the call of their respective flags, they arranged in an orderly manner to form several phalanxes.

It's all right!

Quite imposing!

"Ten thousand years of the king! Ten thousand years of Wu Kingdom! ”

"Ten thousand years of the king! Ten thousand years of Wu Kingdom! ”

The young soldiers shouted in unison, full of vitality!

This made Qingji feel quite satisfied.

Qingji immediately stepped forward and condoled the soldiers one by one.

In front of a soldier who was about ten years old and had a young face, Qingji also stretched out his hands very kindly, straightened his collar for him, and patted him on the shoulder.

The soldier was immediately moved, and while his eyes were moist, he couldn't help but stabilize his figure, hold his head high, and strive to let the king see his most heroic side.

Seeing this, the nearby soldiers also cast envious and jealous eyes.

They are like gods for Qingji.

Just like the modern star-chasing clan and brainless fans, Qingji is their idol and the supreme monarch!

"What's your name?"

"Go back to the king, the little one is Luo!"

"Lowe? How old is this year? ”

"Eleven!"

"Always good in the army?"

"Very good! The big king, thanks to the big king Hongfu, the small one was able to be included in the Tiger Ben Army, and he had no worries about food and clothing, and he no longer had to live a life of hungry and full meals and hundreds of meals as in the past. ”

The soldier named "Luo" choked up in his tone, and said: "Great King, the training in the army is boring and hard, but if you think that you can serve Da Wu in the future, you can be born and die for the Great King, and establish meritorious deeds, then everything is worth it!" ”

"Well done!"

Qingji patted Luo's shoulder with relief, and then went to comfort a few soldiers.

Regarding the situation of the Tiger Army, Qingji is very knowledgeable.

The real Tiger Ben Army has not yet taken shape, and at the moment, these half-grown teenagers are just "orphan camps"!

When Qingji went out to Meili last year, he found that there were many orphans in the local area, and there was no one to support them, and they had to eat hundreds of meals to grow up, which made Qingji feel pity in his heart at the same time, but also had the idea of taking it for his own use.

Qingji then issued an edict to gather all the orphans of Wu and the orphans whose parents died in Wudu, and form a new army with the children and grandchildren of the generals, called the "Tiger Army"!

Because almost all of them are orphans, the current Tiger Ben Army is also called the "orphan camp".

The eldest of them was no more than thirteen years old, and the youngest was only four years old.

There are really too young orphans, and Wu Guo will also take on the responsibility of raising them.

This is invisible, but many soldiers with families have worries.

Worried that after you die on the battlefield, your children will have no one to support?

Inexistent!

Whether it is a man or a woman, if it is an orphan, Wu Guo can raise them one by one.

Men can grow up to join the army, and women can grow up to cultivate and weave, and they are allowed to have a skill that is enough to support themselves.

At this time, the Tiger Ben Army was often only orphans over the age of ten who could enlist in the army for training.

Therefore, there are only more than 700 people in the Tiger Army, and more soldiers will be added in the future.

Qingji attaches great importance to such a tiger army.

Because they have been raised and cultivated by the state since they were children, when they grow up, they will definitely be grateful for the nurturing grace of Wu Guo and Qingji, and treat them like reborn parents.

How can the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army not be loyal to Qingji and be willing to give everything for it?

has been instilled with the idea of loyalty and patriotism since childhood, how can they not be die-hard fans of Qingji?

Moreover, after years of careful cultivation, I believe that the Tiger Ben Army will definitely become a strong team in the future and become a sharp knife for Wu to conquer the world!

After condolences to the soldiers of the Tiger Army, Qingji went to the side of the school field to inspect the newly formed Yulin Army.

The soldiers of the Yulin Army are all children of nobles, and they are the children and grandchildren of the courtiers and officials of the Wu State.

Qingji had previously made a stipulation: All the children of the nobles of the Wu Kingdom, over the age of sixteen and under the age of twenty-five, must join the Yulin Army.

This has two benefits for Qingji.

First, the children of the aristocracy who have been educated by the elite since childhood became Yulin Lang, and under the influence of the six arts of the gentleman, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics, they can quickly form a powerful military force for Qingji.

It won't even be long before these Yu Lin Lang can become the backbone of the army and serve the country.

Second, the establishment of the Yulin Army is undoubtedly a layer of interest between Qingji and the old clans of Wu State.

There are so many children of the family in the Yulin Army, even if some of the old clans have a heart of disobedience and plot against them, they will weigh it themselves, will their children and grandchildren die because of this?

And whether it is the Tiger Army or the Yulin Army, they are already a military force that Qingji values a lot.

As the saying goes, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools.

If Qingji wants the military strength of Wu to become stronger, the sword in his hand must be sharpened.

After inspecting the Xianghu camp, Qingji went to the paper workshop in the west of Wudu City to inspect.

The existence of paper has undoubtedly increased a lot of financial revenue for Wu State, and it is also a fortunate thing for the benefit of mankind!

Compared with the primitive oracle bones, the bronze and stone drums are bulky, the simple slips are inconvenient to carry, and the silk silk is expensive.

The invention and popularization of papermaking technology enabled the rapid spread of human knowledge and civilization, and books also flew from the mansions of nobles to the homes of ordinary people with the emergence of paper and printing.

Of course, Qingji's invention of papermaking is not simply for the benefit of mankind.

He is the king of Wu, the king of a country, so he naturally wants to seek certain interests for the state of Wu.

The ministers who followed Qingji were the generals of Zhisu Neishi Fan Li and Dagongling.

Surrounded by a group of guards, Qing Ji entered the workshop, and the smell of smoke and fire came to his nose.

I saw that the bark, hemp, bamboo and other plant materials that had been mashed had been boiled in a large cauldron, and gradually formed a kind of paste.

And the crumbs in the cauldron are pressed with boulders, which helps to cook completely.

Qingji looked at the construction site on the side again, and saw several craftsmen working skillfully.

"King!"

"See the King!"

Seeing Qingji coming, several craftsmen hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Qingji just waved his hand and said, "If you continue to be busy, the widow will watch from the sidelines." ”

"No."

Qingji saw that the craftsmen waited for the pulp to cool, and then used a flat bamboo curtain to scoop up the pulp, filter the water, and become a paper film.

The cadre on one side said in a low voice: "King, this step requires skillful skills to fish out the paper film with moderate thickness and uniform distribution." ”

"Good!"

Qingji bowed slightly.
