In the ancient military camps, it was not easy to train elite divisions.

All aspects need to be involved, such as knives, guns and arrows, these basic weapons need to be used handy, and again, you can't still be in the face of all kinds of difficult situations.

To sum it up simply, there are two aspects, one is courage, and the other is courage.

It sounds more difficult to train bravery, but in fact, on the contrary, courage is the most important, because it requires you to be calm and calm when facing a sea of corpses and a sea of blood and a line of life and death.

Therefore, the elite is often called the elite soldiers of a hundred battles, and such an army has absolute martial arts and courage.

On the school field of the Runan County Government, Cao Cao looked at the song that Xiahoudun said from a distance, whether it was the murderous spirit of the drill or the military appearance shown, it was indeed difficult for people to believe that these five hundred people had only been in the army for two months.

"Meet Sikong!" Under the protection of Dian Wei and Xu Chu, Cao Cao approached the team, and five hundred people shouted in unison, quite a bit of elite soldiers.

Cao Cao nodded and slowly swept past the rows of sergeants, looking them straight in the eye.

Martial arts can be shown in drills, at least you can get a glimpse of the leopard, but courage can only be judged after going to the battlefield.

There is also a little trick to judge in advance, and that is the eyes.

The eyes of the elite of the hundred battles are very indifferent, like ice and water, without any waves.

And the army in front of them, when facing the two peerless fierce generals of the imperial court Sikong and Dian Wei Xu Chu, not to mention being as quiet as a virgin, does not have the restlessness in the eyes of ordinary people.

From this alone, it is certain that the people who led this team must have been specially trained in their courage.

Cao Cao looked at the team of five hundred people very carefully, and walked back and forth twice before he walked to the side and asked in a deep voice, "What do you two think?" ”

Dian Wei and Xu Chu glanced at each other, but Dian Wei opened his mouth first, "It won't be the veterans who are taking it to fool Sikong you, when I practiced just now, I saw that they were very skilled in using the ring head knife, and the technique of combined attack was also quite orderly, and it was unlikely that the recruits for two months would be impossible." ”

Xu Chu also agreed: "Those boys dare to look at me without dodging, and I don't look like a recruit." ”

These words made Cao Cao laugh, what kind of person is Cao Hong, that is the old team of the beginning, a brother who can definitely be trusted, although he is too stingy and loves money like his life, but he dares to fool himself, Cao Cao absolutely does not believe it.

It can basically be confirmed that this person's ability to lead troops is definitely not something in the pool, and I am afraid that he will not lose his son.

He breathed a long sigh of relief and walked towards the head of the army.

"The last general will meet Sikong!" The twenty-six-seventeen-year-old young general had a resolute face, a calm look in his eyes, and the calmness exuded from his body did not resemble that of an ordinary military marquis.

Cao Cao looked at him, looked up and down, and finally even walked around him, but he didn't say a word from beginning to end.

Finally, his eyes fell on his pair of coarse linen shoes, and he immediately made a motion that made everyone stunned, and he leaned down and carefully retied his hands on the coarse linen shoes that the young marquis had loosened from the tight band.

Who is he? He is Cao Cao, when he is the emperor of the court, the existence of ten thousand people under one person, but now he is on the military camp and school ground, tying up the loose tight belt for a military marquis, not to mention the young military marquis himself, even the sergeants who were training around him were dumbfounded and stopped their movements.

The five hundred recruits he trained were even more envious, and even honored.

Cao Cao, who stood up again, breathed a sigh of relief and patted the young marquis's chest, "Chen Zhi, Chen Shuzhi." ”

"Sikong!" Chen Zhi shook his hands, bowed his head and joined hands, and his excitement was overflowing.

He is a native of Runan, Yuzhou, if history has not changed, Liu Bei has served as a pastor in Yuzhou in the past two years and led the troops in Peicheng, and Chen Zhi is Liu Bei who defected during this time.

It's a pity that he didn't have much opportunity to show himself when he was under Liu Bei's account, because during that time, Liu Bei was either on the run or on the way to escape, and it was difficult to be comfortable.

When Liu Bei was by Liu Bei's side, he and Zhao Yun were actually often mentioned at the same time, both of them were loyal and unparalleled people, but unfortunately, Zhao Yun's light was too much, and it was inevitable that he would be inferior in comparison.

To say that Chen Zhi's martial arts, because of the lack of records against fierce generals, it is difficult to judge, but the ability to lead troops is definitely first-class in the world.

During the battle of Yiling, Lu Xun attacked Liu Bei, and the 700-mile company camp was completely on fire, and at the same time, the Jiangdong army rushed to kill together.

Of course, during this time period, Cao Cao didn't know that Chen Zhi had such ability, and he showed his attitude as a corporal of Lixian, also out of multiple considerations.

First, the fierce generals in the army have died one after another, and it is too necessary to cultivate generals who can share the heavy responsibilities from the newcomers, and Chen Zhi in front of him is one of them.

Second, to win people's hearts, he is confident that the action just now is not only for Chen Zhi, but also for all the sergeants on the school field.

At the current time when the army has suffered defeats and the morale of the army is fluctuating, such a move cannot be described as unwise.

Of course, there is another point, which also comes from Cao Cao's sincerity, who can write 'Zhou Gong spit and feed, the world returns to the heart', and a man who can forget to greet him, who dares to say that he is not eager for talents?

"Come back to Xuchang with me, that's where you can really show your strengths." Cao Cao took Chen Zhi's hand and said earnestly.

Chen Zhi was a little stunned, it was unprecedented for him to be promoted to a military marquis as a recruit, and now he was treated so politely by Cao Cao, and he had to be brought back to Xuchang, and the whole person seemed a little in a trance.

"What, Uncle Zhi is unwilling?" Cao Cao was a little hopeful.

"The last general will not dare!"

Chen Zhi hurriedly thanked him, "I am willing to obey Sikong's dispatch, and I will not hesitate to do anything!" ”

In terms of this mastery of people's hearts, whether it is Cao Cao or Liu Bei, they are quite skillful.

In this regard, Sun 100,000 is a little worse.

Hearing this, Cao Cao laughed loudly.

He is really happy, in the past half a year, there have been Liu Bei's defection, Anfeng's defeat and Xiao Guan's defeat Several major events that gave him a headache, the loss of troops and the loss of generals, the waste of money and food, he needs new people to enrich his military camp too much.

Chen Zhi is capable, and he firmly believes that it is not because of Xu Chu and Dian Wei's remarks just now, but only because of the affirmation of him from his heart.

In the end, Cao Cao still did not want to tell Cao Hong, Xiahoudun and others that they should pay more attention to the newcomers in the army in the future, and there must be no situation of burying the generals.

March scenery, spring cold is expected.

In order to prepare for Lin Mo and Lu Lingqi's wedding, the entire Pengcheng was very busy.

Lin Mo is also very busy, in addition to studying red tape on the wedding day, he has been studying manure recently.

The invention that the old father-in-law explained that if it wants to achieve immediate results in a short period of time and at the same time contains technical barriers, it can only be fertilizer.

The curved plough and keel waterwheel can only greatly increase the sowing area, but the disadvantages of using fertilizer in this era cannot be reversed.

The fertilizer used in the Warring States and Qin and Han dynasties is mostly organic fertilizer such as manure and straw of people and animals, which is rich in organic matter and various nutrients to provide nutrients for crops, but the release of nutrients is relatively slow, and the fertilizer has a long effective period.

As a result, on newly cultivated farmland, yields will decline year by year, and finally to a fertilizer cultivation area.

The improvement of fertilizer, the use of all kinds of inorganic fertilizer, can supplement this shortcoming, inorganic fertilizer is characterized by fast nutrient release, but the fertilizer effect is short, as long as the mixture, the yield of the autumn harvest must be increased unabated.

The manufacture of various inorganic fertilizers Lin Mo can also roughly write down some, not that his memory is amazing, the main thing is that the soil fertilizer method does not have much technical content, it is nothing more than to pay attention to the problem of proportion, the children from the countryside have seen a lot in their early years, and even participated in the production by themselves.

The simplest nitrogen, ammonia and phosphorus compound fertilizer, which grinds animal bones into powder, is considered as base fertilizer.

The production of ammonia fertilizer is to use cow dung, soybean flour and cooked gypsum to mix in a ratio of 1:1:10 and seal it in the earth kiln for three days to complete, and at the same time, in the process of fertilization, it is mixed with water in a ratio of 1:3 to complete the whole process.

Other similar sulfur fertilizer and nitrogen fertilizer materials are even more different, but the principle is similar, and Lin Mo from the countryside before crossing is still very familiar with this.

But no matter what kind of fertilizer, it is inseparable from the auxiliary of plaster, fortunately, it is not too difficult to obtain gypsum, that is, raw gypsum is cooked with water, and it is plaster after dehydration.

To say that the technical content is definitely not very high, but the technical barriers are indeed leveraged.

Whether it is the proportion of various materials, or the number of days the kiln is sealed, or the production of plaster, these other princes have no way of knowing.

Of course, there are drawbacks, because the sowing area is extremely large, and the personnel and space for the production of fertilizer inputs are also a big problem, but fortunately, the materials are extremely cheap.

In terms of personnel, in order to be able to keep these parameters strictly confidential, Lin Moyong's people were all veterans in the barracks who had retired due to disability.

These people are now disabled, and they may not be able to seek normal means of livelihood, and with a meager pension, once it is used up, the rest of their lives are actually very bleak.

And now, Lin Mo's soil fertilization this time requires a lot of labor, and these people just come in handy.

The old father-in-law was very happy to hear this.

In the past, he didn't know the bleak life of these veterans after leaving the barracks, but there was really no way, the number was too large, and he was really powerless.

It's good now, the son-in-law's arrangement seems to have removed a period of unease in his heart.

Money, no problem, the son-in-law said that he would earn it himself, so the old father-in-law could hum a little song with Erlang's legs crossed, and it was very suitable.

The most critical problem is that these people are very reliable, their families are all on their own territory, brothers who were born and died together, Lu Bu still trusts them very much that they will not leak these parameters.

As for the results, Lu Bu said to his son-in-law, although he gave a thumbs up with a smile on his face, he still had reservations in his heart.

He himself planted the land when he was a child, and in the past two years, as the territory has stabilized and his understanding of agriculture has gradually deepened, the yield of a new plot of land must have decreased year by year, until it remained stable after a low level.

But his son-in-law told him that all the fields that used these fertilizers this year must have increased their yields and quality, which is completely contrary to his understanding.

It's not a matter of subverting cognition, it's too shocking.

If these inconspicuous fertilizers were simply mixed by him, they would have such an anti-heaven effect, and the people under the sky would be able to eat two full meals a day in the future.

And, even in a year of famine, there will be food stocks to cope with risk shocks.

At the same time, the taxes collected by themselves will also show a virtuous circle of steady increase.

In a few years, the comprehensive strength can crush Cao Cao, right?

Just a simple longing, Lu Bu, who was lying on Lin Mo's homemade lazy chair, actually laughed out of Kuku's voice.

"Brother Xian, I learned that your wedding is coming, foolish brother and I have been working day and night, and I finally did not delay this great event." Returning from the north, he was a little haggard.

"How's it going?" Lin Mo was more concerned about this matter.

"Indeed, as the virtuous brother said, I sent the money directly, and he really didn't dare to accept it, although I said a lot of words for self-protection, the man was also very suspicious.

Later, I said that I wanted to buy war horses from Youzhou to sell them in the Central Plains, but I was afraid that the passes along the way would be difficult to pass, so I had to ask him for help, so I accepted the money. Di Rong drank hot tea and told about his hardships.

"What about the ledger that records your transactions?" Lin Mo asked again.

"Don't worry, it's all clearly written." Zhen Rong took out a silk cloth from his arms.

It clearly records the commission that each war horse has to be charged by the other party, and this silk cloth alone is not too useful, as long as it is proved that these war horses have flowed into his own camp, then Yuan Shao's mentality must have exploded.

"No, it's supposed to be the commission for eight hundred war horses." Lin Mo looked at Zhen Rong with some suspicion.

The corners of the latter's mouth were slightly outlined, revealing a smug expression, "The northern kingdom is under Yuan Shao's control, and the price of bringing back a war horse from Youzhou is too high for today's horse dealers, and many people choose to go to Guanzhong and Bingzhou to purchase, so naturally the Youzhou war horse will be lowered."

The money I brought was enough to buy 800 war horses, but our brothers were flesh and blood, and the foolish brother didn't dare to deceive and earn the difference, so of course he pulled all the war horses back. ”

This person was a little confused, but this thing was done quite beautifully, Lin Mo returned the silk cloth to Zhen Rong with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Then I will thank Zhen Taishou." ”

"You're welcome, our brothers"

Zhen Rong, who had reacted, looked at Lin Mo in a daze, his eyes were moist, "Brother Xian, what did Brother Xian call me just now?" ”

"Langya is too guarded, Zheng is too guarded, don't worry, Lord Yuezhang has agreed, and the silver seal and green ribbon will be sent to your house in a few days."

For a while, Di Rong only felt that the qi and blood in his whole body had stagnated, and I was too guarded?

Am I finally becoming a Taishou?

Poof, he really knelt, grabbed Lin Mo's coat and wiped the tears in his eyes, and choked up: "Brother Xian, you are really my reborn parents, and the life of Brother Fool will be handed over to you in the future."

Lose. Lin Mo pushed him away in disgust, and said in a deep voice: "In the thirteen counties of Langya, seven county orders are the protégés of the Chen family, and even the county officials are the Chen family, now that you are in this position, whether you can be stable or not depends on your own ability." ”

"Rest assured, Brother Fool has stood tall in Xuzhou for so many years, and he has some means."

Well, there are indeed a lot of people who died at your hands, and I don't believe you if you don't have the means.

The Chen family's recent hand has stretched a little too long, and the only one who can compete with the Lu family has no ambition, but I hope that after the fusion is completed, the situation of Xuzhou's dominance can be improved.
