Lu Tingjie didn't expect Jing Yi to be so capable, not only to get food but also to get salt.

You must know that not only the price of food has risen wildly in various parts of the country, but also the price of salt. People take food as their sky, and people want to eat food, but they can't do without salt. So salt is needed everywhere, which also gives Jingyi a good opportunity to make money.

Some salt merchants will not investigate the origin of salt as long as they can get it.

Because the salt they make is better than the coarse salt that ordinary people buy in the market, and the price is not expensive, it is very popular.

The sale of salt alone caused a steady stream of silver money to flow into Jingyi's pocket. It didn't take long for Jingyi to accumulate a huge amount of money.

Jing Yi looked at such a large sum of money, and thought to herself that it was no wonder that the imperial court wanted to control salt and iron, this salt trade was really too profitable.

The salt pans drying by the sea have expanded a lot, and the salt production workshops have to expand to keep up with the speed of salt drying.

The secret guards sent by Jing Yi contacted the old Jing family scattered all over the country, and many veterans who returned to their hometowns were found by the people sent by Jing Yi, Jing Yi selected some loyal and reliable people and sent them to the other side of the mountain, adding manpower to the salt pans and salt-making workshops. In this way, the yield of salt has increased a lot.

Lin Zhuocheng, as the supreme commander of the border guards, has the power to recruit troops, but there is also a limit on the number of soldiers. In the past, it was impossible to recruit too many soldiers, firstly, because of the limited number of people in the imperial court, and the imperial court would not allocate so much military pay to support more troops.

Nowadays, Lin Zhuocheng does not rely on the imperial court to recruit soldiers, as long as he does not gather all the soldiers together and does not ask the imperial court for food, it is difficult for outsiders to find out that the number of soldiers is beyond the system.

In recent years, disasters have occurred frequently in the territory of Yiguo, either drought or insect plague, coupled with man-made disasters, and the life of the common people has become more and more difficult. In order to survive, many people had to leave their homes and flee the famine in the south, where the rain was still abundant.

Nowadays, there are many victims in Yuanling County, as long as they can be fed, many people are willing to serve as soldiers.

Lin Zhuocheng's recruitment not only depends on the physical condition of the person who signed up for the army, but also checks the person's family situation. Lin Zhuocheng, who is the only child in the family or has a wife and children, generally does not recruit him. Even if he recruits people who are concerned, there will not be too many people, and if people leave the family, it will not have much impact.

Jing Yi also secretly provided a batch of food for his uncle, enough for his uncle to support the army.

And Lin Zhuocheng's recruited Jing Yi will also take some away.

Many of the old members of the Jing family came to Jingyi, and most of them had served as soldiers in the army. These people have all made arrangements.

Jing Yi selected some strong young soldiers to form a special operations team, she named the team the wind team, and transferred Song Yuancheng back from the salt workshop.

Qiao Hong studied with Song Yuancheng, and was already very familiar with the affairs of the salt pan and the salt workshop, and Jing Yi let him be in charge of the affairs over there.

Jing Yi transferred Song Yuancheng back to serve as the leader of the Wind Squad, and then began training for this squad. Even when she is away, she will be trained by Song Yuancheng.

In the past few years, Song Yuancheng has followed Jing Yi and learned a lot from Jing Yi, not only has he made great progress in martial arts, but even in terms of knowledge, he can't compare with ordinary people.

Song Yuancheng's knowledge is not only the knowledge from books that today's literati learn, but also many things that cannot be learned from books. For example, some tactical strategies, some reconnaissance skills, some makeup skills, some murder methods, and so on.

Jingyi stands on the shoulders of the giant of history, and holds the crystallization of the wisdom summed up by many human beings from ancient times to the future. This also makes Jing Yi like a big killer in this ancient world, and her power is immeasurable.

Everyone in the Wind Squad is first and foremost loyal to Jing Yi and is a person who follows Jing Yi wholeheartedly. These people also swore a heavy oath and swore allegiance to Jingyi.

The ancients attached great importance to the oath of curses, and ordinary people would not break their oaths easily. Jing Yi is still relatively relieved of the loyalty of the members of the Wind Squad.

Jing Yi put a lot of effort into the training of the Wind Squad, slowly honing these team members from physical fitness to fighting skills. The team members exercise a lot every day, and Jingyi has specially formulated a recipe for the team members to ensure that each team member absorbs enough nutrients and calories every day.

In addition to training in martial arts, Jingyi also taught each student to read and write, taught them to read simple maps in ancient times, taught them to use sign language, and so on.

Jingyi will also educate the players ideologically from time to time, so that they know what kind of people should be loyal and what kind of people should be hit.

In order to defend the safety of one's homeland and one's family, one should fight to repel the invaders who seek to destroy one's homeland and enslave oneself and one's family.

The youngest member of the team is 18 years old, and the oldest is only 23 years old. After a period of training, everyone admired Jing Yi. In the hearts of the team members, their eldest lady is a god-like existence, there is no eldest lady who can't, and the eldest lady's Wen Taowu strategy is the best.

People worship the strong, and Jingyi's strength has made them ignore Jingyi's identity as a woman.

Jingyi also further established his prestige and cultivated a group of loyal subordinates.

Lin Zhuocheng and Lu Tingjie have known each other for a long time, and now they are both supporters of Jingyi, and the two often consult each other on some government affairs, and gradually deal with some discordant people and things in Yuanling County.

In addition to training the Wind Squad, Jing Yi did not forget the batch of recruits recruited by his uncle.

Lin Zhuo did not let these newly recruited soldiers be influenced by the veterans, and put the recruits alone in a camp, so that Jingyi could also train these recruits from time to time. Even if there are spies among the veterans, it is difficult to get news from the recruits.

Lin Zhuocheng is slowly weeding out the restless guys in the veterans.

After several months of hard work, Lin Zhuocheng's new battalion has also been trained impressively, and the recruits have made great progress. And Jingyi's ace wind team has made rapid progress, the team members have improved a lot in terms of physical fitness and skills, and more importantly, the team members have cultivated a tacit understanding under Jingyi's intentional training, everyone is very united, and a united whole has been formed.

This is also the initial goal of Jingyi's training. Next, Jing Yi will conduct more in-depth training for the members of the Wind Squad, so that they can become the real trump cards in their hands.

In the second half of this year, because Jingyi provided Lu Tingjie with high-yield grain seeds and asked him to distribute them to the people for planting, the grain harvest in Yuanling County this year was obviously much higher than in previous years.

Many of the victims have been resettled in recent months. The fields cultivated by the victims have been harvested, and they can also achieve self-sufficiency, and they do not need Lu Tingjie to help them anymore.

Yuanling County has had a bumper harvest, and Lu Tingjie has appropriately reduced taxes, so the life of the people has been much better this year. Some of the victims who fled to Yuanling County no longer wanted to leave here, so they decided to settle down here.

The people were very grateful to Lu Tingjie, and everyone felt that they had met a good official.
