Yi Wei was a little puzzled, this person was an unknown person, but the king promised to hold a high-ranking position, but Yi Wei was shrewd, and the head of the jaw did not ask much.

"The second one is called Lian Po. The surname wins, Lian's, the name is Po, the word Hongye, and he is a native of Kucheng County, Zhongshan State. Send someone to look for him, whatever you do, and get him back to the Flames. If the other party comes here, this gentleman can make him the commander of an army. ”

"The third one is called Le Yi. The surname of the child, Le's family, and Mingyi are from Lingshou County, Zhongshan State, and Le Yi is a descendant of Leyang, and you send people to find it. If the other party is still young, you don't have to worry about it, you just need to monitor the other party, and you are not allowed to meddle in the other party's affairs. If Le Yi passes the year of the crown, he will bring it back to the Flame Land, and the monarch will let him lead an army. ”

Yi Wei was ordered to leave, and Li Hao summoned Wang Qing, the commander of Tancheng County.

"Wang Qing, I order you to sort out fifty acres of fertile land tomorrow."

"In addition, a recruitment announcement was issued: Yan Jun personally went to the field to farm the day after tomorrow, and now requires 300 laborers, the construction period is 15 days, the remuneration is 300 catties of grain, and you can receive 20 catties per day.

"This~ Your Majesty, three hundred catties of grain, isn't the remuneration a bit much. Moreover, the king called those untouchables to do things, and they did not need to be paid at all. Wang Qing hesitated.

Li Hao shook his head and said: "Wang Qing, watch more, do more, think more, and throw away the old concept of the scholars." I'm about to usher in a period of rapid development, if you can't change your concept, it's easy to fall behind, do what I tell you to do. ”

Wang Qing's heart sank, and he hurriedly bowed down.

"Your Majesty, forgive the old servant for being stupid, there are 300 people on fifty acres of land, if you just cultivate, it seems that it will not take fifteen days, I am afraid it will be completed in one day."

Li Hao waved his hand and smiled: "Uncle Zhong, sweet potato planting is special, and it needs to be pruned and planted after seedlings are raised." Generally, it takes three or four days to raise seedlings, and it does take a lot of time to plant. Uncle Zhong, do you know how many catties of grain per mu are now? ”

"If the wind and rain are smooth, the yield per mu is almost more than 200 catties." Fan Zhong was born in poverty, so he naturally understands farming.

"If I say that sweet potatoes yield five or six thousand catties per mu, do you believe it?"

"This~ five or six thousand catties per mu?" Fan Zhong's face changed greatly when he heard this.

"You see, we know each other so well that you both doubt it. If I tell the people that the yield of sweet potatoes per mu is five or six thousand catties, and I order them to all be planted with sweet potatoes, will they believe it? Will you switch to sweet potatoes? Li Hao clapped his hands and laughed.

"Your Majesty, you said that sweet potatoes yield five or six thousand catties per mu, is this true?" Fan Zhong said in disbelief.

Li Hao nodded and said: "If you take care of it carefully and apply fertilizer on time, it will be at least five or six thousand catties, and the high production capacity will reach tens of thousands of catties." However, now that the conditions are limited, the yield per mu may be lower, and 4,000 catties should be guaranteed. ”

Fan Zhong's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "You don't need to produce four or five thousand catties per mu, as long as the production capacity per mu is more than 1,000 catties, it can completely replace grains as staple food." Since then, I have no worries about food. ”

Li Hao shook his head and said: "Sweet potatoes are not full enough and cannot be used as a staple food." However, as a supplementary food, it can also greatly relieve the pressure of food in hot areas. ”

"If you don't feel full enough, you can learn to eat more. The yield per mu is so high, why not add one meal a day. Fan Zhong was a little unimpressed.

"I now understand why the king is recruiting so many people."

"Oh? It's so quick to understand, so let's talk about it. Li Hao said a little curiously.

"With such a high yield of grain per mu in your hands, instead of persuading everyone to believe that they are planting sweet potatoes instead, it is better for the people to cultivate them themselves and see the yield of sweet potatoes with their own eyes. In this way, there is no need to talk too much, and the people will take the initiative to come to the door to ask for food. Therefore, although less than 300 people were needed, the king still recruited 300 people, just to use their mouths to promote the new grain in the future. ”

Li Hao was a little surprised that Fan Zhong reacted quickly, this was indeed his motive. It's just that he has another motive that Fan Zhong didn't say, and that is to help the people of Zhouyandi.

The announcement was passed down layer by layer through the township people, company commanders, Li Youzheng, track commanders, etc., and Yan Jun personally went to the fields to farm, and the news caused a huge response in the township.

At the same time, the 300 catties of grain reward once again ignited the enthusiasm of the people. Before noon, the 300 places were full. The people who reported their names were naturally happy, and the people who did not report their names were depressed one by one.

The next day, before the hour came, three hundred people had been gathered. When Li Hao walked out of the county government, all the people immediately knelt on the ground.

Li Hao hurriedly helped everyone up and said, "Everyone doesn't need to be polite, let's get up." ”

"You may be curious, but I'm afraid there is a lot of discussion in private. This gentleman has a noble status, why would he personally go to the field to farm? That Benjun told everyone that because I got a kind of grain, the yield per mu was no less than a thousand catties. ”

As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly exploded, and the people began to talk about it.

"You don't have to doubt it, but not only do you not believe it, but I don't believe it either. So, gather everyone today, and let's witness together. The grain seeds are planted by your own hands, and you will personally harvest them after four months, and then you will see how the yield per mu is. I hope that the yield per mu can exceed 1,000 catties. In this way, every one of the people of our land will be fed, and there will be no more hunger. ”

"Thank you, Yanjun."

"Long live Yanjun."

......

Fifty acres of fertile land is not far east of Tancheng, where the land is fertile and close to the Shu River.

The fields have long been turned over, because there is no modern machinery, the land is not deep, which has a little impact on sweet potatoes.

Li Hao left ten people to help raise the seedlings, and the others were all sent to turn the ground and water them according to the requirements. Now that the weather is hot, raising the humidity of the land will be a great help for sweet potato growth.

Seedling cultivation is very simple, Li Hao selected a place, about one acre. Bury the sprouted sweet potatoes shallowly, sprinkle a layer of soil, and then water them, according to the current temperature, they can grow seedlings in two days at most, as long as the water is sufficient in the early stage, the sweet potato vines grow very quickly.

In the following days, Li Hao came to the sweet potato field every day, and the people also came to turn the ground and water it every day, and the growth of sweet potato seedlings was very vigorous. After eight days, the sweet potato vines have basically grown to more than two meters.

In this transplanted sweet potato vine, the stubble must be inserted in muddy water, and then inserted into the soil along with the thin mud. The people learned the method, and the transplanting was much faster. It took a few days to plant fifty acres of land, mainly because there were too few vine seedlings.

"Folks, sweet potatoes yield thousands of catties per mu, you may be curious, is this true? Then we'll see after April. ”

When the people heard this, they all showed anticipation.

"But as the Lord of the Flamelands, I tell you that I bought sweet potatoes from overseas at a great price. If well cared for, the yield is only high, not low. ”

"The sweet potato vine grows vigorously, and within a few days, the vine seedlings will grow a lot. By late July, the sweet potato vines are ready to be transplanted. You've got the idea, so if you want to, come and cut the seedlings and transplant them. ”

Many people are a little moved, but whether to transplant or not, Li Hao does not force it.

"In addition, I will leave fifty people to take care of fifty acres of land, with three hundred catties of food per person per month, and those with family difficulties are preferred."

This order once again made the people grateful to Dade.

After half a month of fierce competition, the competition has come to an end, and the list of results has been released. Li Hao solved the matter of autumn potatoes and rushed over non-stop.

There was no Yin Wen this time, the Yandi Founding Ceremony was being prepared, and Yin Wen wanted to take the lead in organizing various matters, which was simply inseparable.

Li Hao came to the camp, and the scholar Jiang Si handed over a document and said: "Your Majesty, the competition selection is over, this is the transcript of the competition selection." ”

Li Hao took the list, just glanced at it, and couldn't help but be a little surprised: "This Lei is the first place?" ”

Jiang Si said: "Yes, this person is powerful and has excellent martial arts, and the rest of them are invincible." ”

"Yes, bloody, righteous, responsible, he is indeed a talent." Li Hao nodded and said, "Five people were seriously injured, and hundreds of people were lightly injured, which is quite acceptable." Jiang Si, arrange for a doctor to treat the injured as soon as possible, and you can't leave a dark disease. ”

The appointment of officers at all levels is also a meticulous job, and the men and horses of the former Yushan and Xishuang battalions must first be disrupted, and the troops are the places where blood is swayed, and it is easiest to enhance the feelings between the two sides. It won't take long for the two classes to merge and no longer separate from each other.

It took two days for Li Hao to finally assign the grassroots soldiers and complete the planning for the appointment of officers at all levels. If you count the squad leader and deputy squad leader, the number of non-commissioned officers is nearly 2,000, of which the squad leader and deputy squad leader account for 1,500 people, and the workload is still very huge. However, these positions are indispensable in order for orders to be uploaded and issued and to give full play to the initiative of the military. Fortunately, there is a transcript of this competition for reference.

Subsequently, Li Hao held the oath meeting of the Qinglong Army.

Standing on the platform again, Li Hao glanced at the soldiers below and said, "During this time, you and the others have fought hard and achieved different results. And those who rank higher will become officers at all levels of the Blue Dragon Army. ”

"Here, Ben Jun only personally named the top seventy-six winners, that is, officers at the rank of company commander, platoon commanders and squad leaders under the company commander, all appointed by their respective regiment commanders."

"Now, I announce the list of the top seventy-six candidates for this competition, and all those who are called by name will gather in front of the stage."

"Lei, Gao Chuan, Li Jin, Wang Chuang, Liu Nian, Zhao Wu, Bai Jue, Li Cheng, Ember ......"

As the names were shouted one by one, there were more figures in the audience, and the other soldiers showed envy. I can't help but envy that these people who were called by their names will be officers of the Qinglong Army in the future, and the minimum salary is several times that of before, and they were personally appointed by Yan Jun.

When the last name was called, Li Hao said in a loud voice: "Let's congratulate them." ”

Li Hao applauded, and the soldiers below couldn't help but be a little puzzled when they saw this move, the Warring States did not have the custom of applauding. It wasn't until Fan Zhong also applauded that the soldiers below clapped their hands, and the applause gradually converged into an earth-shattering sound.

"Ray, go to the stage."

Lei looked excited, somewhat nervous, and walked onto the stage.

Li Hao came to Lei and saluted a standard military salute.

Lei hurriedly replied with a four-like military salute, which made Li Hao speechless for a while, for a period of time in the future, the military salute must be used as a training subject, so that these recruits can practice well.

"In this martial arts selection competition, the final champion is Lei. Benjun specially gave you the surname Li and Tang, hoping that you would live up to Benjun's high expectations and live up to your surname. ”

"Tang Lei Xie Jun."

As soon as Tang Lei wanted to kneel, Li Hao held the other party's body and said: "Have you ever forgotten the words of this gentleman, the knees of the man in my Yandi are cast in copper and iron, and the iron bones are solemn, and he should stand proudly in the heaven and earth, and he must not bend, just salute." ”

"Yes." Tang Lei gave an awkward military salute.

"Feng, Tang Lei is the head of the first regiment of the Qinglong Army, presiding over the daily training and combat tasks of the first regiment, and eating 1,800 catties of grain per month."

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused an uproar. Everyone knows that the officers are paid a lot of food, but they never thought that much. Even Tang Lei himself was shocked, looking at Li Hao stupidly, how could he have seen so much grain.

"Feng, Gao Chuan is the head of the second regiment of the Qinglong Army, presiding over the work and operations of the second regiment, and eating 1,800 catties of grain per month."

"Feng, Li Jin is the deputy commander of the first regiment of the Qinglong Army, and he eats 1,500 catties of grain per month."

"Feng, Wang Chuang is the deputy head of the Second Regiment of the Qinglong Army, and he eats 1,500 catties of grain per month."

"Feng, Liu Nian is the commander of the first battalion under the jurisdiction of the first regiment of the Qinglong Army, and he eats 1,500 catties of grain per month."

......

It took a lot of time to appoint seventy-six people.

The entire Qinglong Army has more than 7,800 people, one battalion has 1,250 people, and six battalions, which is exactly two regiments.

At the end of the appointment, the officers each looked for their own soldiers, and Li Hao and Corporal Ji had already drawn up a list, and they could return to the team by name.

Of course, most of these people were illiterate, and in order to solve this problem, Li Hao assigned eight corporals to the six battalions of the two regiments as staff officers. The number of scholars is small and expensive, and it is impossible to complete them all, so the cultural classes in the army must be the top priority in the future, otherwise how to carry out the order.

After the commotion for most of the day, the two regiments were finally integrated, and all 740 squads were put into place. The two regiment commanders, Tang Lei and Gao Chuan, also appointed platoon commanders and squad leaders of their respective regiments with the help of staff officers.

Half a day after everything stopped, Li Hao came to Dianjiangtai again.

"You are the first army of my fireland, and behind you are wives and children, robes, and families. If you fall, that house will not be a home, and a kingdom will not be a country. The homeland has become a battlefield, the grain fields have been ravaged, and wives and children have been enslaved. The boy of the hot land would rather stain the territory with blood, but also protect the people of the hot land from infringement, and also protect the homeland from infringement. In the past 100 years, Yandi has endured too many painful experiences, and who among you has not been affected? Would you like to go through the same life? ”

"Unwilling~Unwilling~"

"Salute all!"

"Huh~"

After seeing Li Hao salute a few times, the Qinglong Army has basically mastered the movements, although it is still a little non-standard, but it is harmless.

"Now read with me the oath of enlistment: I am a boy from the hot land, swear to protect my homeland and country, obey the leadership of the king, serve the people wholeheartedly, strictly abide by discipline, brave and tenacious, not afraid of sacrifice, practice hard to kill the enemy, always be ready to fight, and never betray the army. Live up to yourself, live up to your robes, live up to your years, live up to your country, and defend the motherland with all your blood. ”

Word by word, Li Hao led the Qinglong Army to read the oath.

The oath of enlistment, just like corporate culture, is something that gives people inner strength. When you enlist in the army, you still have to give everyone a sense of honor and ceremony, these things can subtly change a person. At the same time, when things get tough, these vows can also bring out more potential.

The building of the Qinglong Army has been busy for several days, and it has finally come to an end.

Li Hao issued an order again to abandon the Yushan and Xishuang camps, and the Qinglong Army was stationed in Maling Mountain, south of Tancheng. Military training was organized by the commanders of the two regiments for three months.

Li Hao has already prepared some modern training methods, such as weight-bearing cross-country, obstacle crossing, joint weightlifting, etc., not only physical training, but also cultural classes, political propaganda courses, etc. As for military boxing, Li Hao really can't fight, so he can only talk about it later.

The affairs of the army have come to an end, and the time for the founding ceremony is getting closer and closer.
