"First row, hold the gun and stab! Second row, prepare!"
As Zhao Sanhu shouted loudly, the twenty recruits in the first row picked up their spears and stabbed the target twenty steps ahead with all their might!
Although the weather was severely cold, most of these soldiers only wore a single layer of clothing. Even so, their clothes were soaked with sweat.
"Straighten your waist and walk steadily! Are you a fucking girl? Your body is softer than a woman's?" Liu Ruyi raised her hand and whipped it on the back of a soldier whose movements were irregular.
"Hold the gun firmly with your hand, and use strength with your legs! Pay attention to the balance of your body! When stabbing, be fast, steady, and ruthless! If you are hesitant like you and take your time, the spear will not hit the enemy yet.
, the enemy will be able to kill you first!" Seeing the soldier's hands trembling even more, Liu Ruyi could only give pointers.
"understand?"
"Yes, I understand, little one!"
"Yes!" Liu Ruyi patted his shoulder hard and encouraged loudly: "If you understand, you will do better than last time! Come! Try again!"
"Yes!" The soldier nodded, "Kill!" He shouted, his legs suddenly exerted force, and his body jumped up high, like a wild wolf that had found its prey, and charged at the tree twenty steps away.
The target then stabbed it! However, this time, he did not disappoint Liu Ruyi. His shot was steady and hard, and the spear pierced the chest of the wooden target!
"Okay!" Liu Ruyi praised loudly, "Please add two ounces of meat for lunch today!"
"Thank you, Mr. Liu, for your kindness!" The soldier was overjoyed and hurriedly kowtowed to Liu Ruyi!
Liu Ruyi smiled and punched him in the chest, "Keep practicing! Don't be proud and complacent!"
The soldier chuckled and quickly joined the queue.
According to Liu Ruyi's regulations, these new recruits first do a five-kilometer cross-country trip every morning, and then practice spear sprinting a hundred times. In the afternoon, they practice some formation and teamwork cooperation. It is quite intense!
"General Liu Qi is really a good trick! I'm afraid those soldiers who have fought in Liaodong have not practiced so hard! If this continues, we will be able to strengthen the army!" Zhao Canghai came to Liu Ruyi's side at some unknown time.
Said with emotion.
Liu Ruyi glanced at Zhao Canghai with a smile, but she felt a little proud in her heart!
After these days of training, these new recruits have got rid of their original peasant status and have gradually become professional soldiers. In addition, Liu Ruyi's incentives with clear rewards and punishments have made these recruits strive to be the first and practice martial arts hard.
A virtuous cycle is formed!
Some people say, "Money is a man's courage, clothes are a man's face!"
Seeing that the small-scale army he had worked so hard to build was gradually getting on track, Liu Ruyi was very satisfied and felt even more confident!
In troubled times, everything is fake! Only having strong soldiers and power in hand is the best way to protect yourself and your family!
"Brother Zhao, in your opinion, is there anything that needs to be improved?" Zhao Canghai was quite reserved and kept things secret, and Liu Ruyi also relied heavily on him.
"There is no need to improve! This is already good!" Zhao Canghai looked at the figures of these soldiers, thought for a while, and then said: "General Liu Qi, but I always feel that although they have momentum and practice very hard, but
Something seems to be missing?"
"Oh? Please give Brother Zhao some advice!" Liu Ruyi cupped her fist at Zhao Canghai.
"Don't take advice seriously!" Zhao Canghai returned the gesture and said, "Mr. Liu, have you noticed that they lack a kind of self-confidence and murderous aura!"
Liu Ruyi was stunned for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully, "Thank you, Brother Zhao, for the tip, it's from a certain province!"
Practice is the only criterion for testing truth!
Although I have practiced very carefully and hard here, no one can tell what the effect will be! Everything still needs to be tested on the battlefield!
…………
It has entered the second half of the first month and the weather is getting drier.
The turmoil in the gold mine has passed, and naturally the small arms cannot twist the thigh. Although Li Lianyang and Huang Zongqi are reluctant in every possible way, the power of Eunuch Ding is there, and they can only watch the mine supervisor pull this
Take the chicken that lays golden eggs away from you!
Of course, all this has nothing to do with Liu Ruyi. Whether they are dead or alive, Liu Ruyi has no time to pay attention to all these. As long as they don't cause trouble for themselves, everyone will be in peace and everyone will live their own lives.
day!
Although Caishi Town is a military town, there are some private households and merchants in it. Although the place is small, the network of relationships is intricate. If Li Lianyang and Huang Zongqi lost their gold mine, they would lose their biggest income, so they had to
His eyes shifted to the main street of the town. After all, no one is alone. He has a large family to support. He can do anything, but he can't live without money!
On that day, Li Lianyang gave Liu Ruyi the money from the ten shops at the south end of the main street. At the end of the first month, Chen Amao, the big shopkeeper of Chenji Clothing Store, gave the money from the twelfth month to Liu Ruyi. Although the money was not high,
There was only a dozen taels, but mosquito meat was meat, so Liu Ruyi took it in without hesitation.
Shopkeeper Chen saw that Liu Ruyi had accepted the money, so he poured out his bitter words and said, "Mr. Liu Qi, you have to make the decision for us! Li Baihu has agreed that our ten families will be managed by Mr. Liu Qi.
"Excuse me, but, some people are determined to recruit important people today, and you guys really can't live this life!"
Liu Ruyi glanced at him and said slowly: "Why did Shopkeeper Chen say this? Li Baihu is a trustworthy person, how can he go back on his words? Shopkeeper Chen made a mistake, right?"
Seeing Liu Ruyi's official tone, shopkeeper Chen was a little helpless. That day, he saw Liu Ruyi's methods with his own eyes. The young man in front of him was definitely not an easy person to get along with!
"Hey! Mr. Liu Qi, how dare I lie to you! Today, Mr. Huang's servant came to the small shop and said that he would close the shop if he didn't pay the money! This, this, this is called
What the hell is going on!"
After shopkeeper Chen finished speaking, he took out a brocade parcel from his pocket and handed it to Liu Ruyi, "Mr. Liu Qi, this is a little bit of your thoughts. Please make the decision for us, Mr. Liu Qi!"
Liu Ruyi lightly weighed the package in her hand, and found that it was about twenty taels. This was quite a lot!
"What? Didn't you originally give this money to Mr. Huang?" Liu Ruyi said with some confusion.
"Hey! Mr. Liu, before you come here, this is indeed the case! But this time, the Huang family has gone crazy. This shop costs two taels, and two shops cost four taels. This little old man can make a lot of money in a month.
For less than seven or eight taels of silver, they are trying to kill the goose that takes the egg and take our lives!" Shopkeeper Chen said with a grimace.
Liu Ruyi nodded thoughtfully.
According to the division of labor, Liu Ruyi is mainly responsible for the leather goods business in the town, while Huang Zongqi is responsible for several small mines around the town. As for the paving of the main street, Huang Zongqi divides the northern section and Liu Ruyi divides the south section.
Section, the most prosperous one in the middle section is controlled by Li Lianyang of the Hundred Households!
The South Street side is slightly remote, and the location is not very good. There are only a few small shops, and Chenji Silk Shop is already the largest shop. However, since the northern section is close to Jinan City, there are several decent inns and restaurants, as well as
Not bad. As for the two most prosperous brothels in the town, they are both located in the middle section and belong to Li Lianyang's sphere of influence.
These matters were already negotiated by Liu Ruyi when he took office. Now Mr. Huang not only wants to overstep his authority, but also extends his claws to his own side. He is also asking for huge sums of money from these merchants. This clearly wants to impress him.
Medicine!
‘The demons in the temple are strong, but there are many bastards in the deep pool!’ It seems that Mr. Huang is really at odds with himself!
After putting the money package away, Liu Ruyi said: "Don't worry, shopkeeper Chen. Since this matter is under Liu's rule, we have also stood firm and Liu will take care of it! You can go back with peace of mind. If the Huang family
When your slaves come back, tell them that if they want money, just ask them to come to such a place!"
Shopkeeper Chen was overjoyed, "Thank you so much, Mr. Liu! On behalf of our ten families, I would like to thank Mr. Liu for his kindness!"
…………
After sending shopkeeper Chen off, Liu Ruyi came to the backyard. It happened that Zou wanted to take Xiao Zixin and Chun Yunu to go hiking in the south. Liu Ruyi couldn't help feeling a little guilty. She had been in this town for more than a month and she was very busy.
As a drill sergeant, it is difficult to have free time to accompany my mother and two daughters. The sun is very sunny today and there is no wind, which is very suitable for hiking.
At the moment, Liu Ruyi gave these soldiers a half-day holiday to let them have a good rest. After all, blind training is indeed too boring, and people's hearts are full of flesh. Liu Ruyi does not want the soldiers to be too tired, resulting in
Too many rebellious emotions!
In the afternoon, Liu Ruyi took Xiao Liuer, Huo Lang, Zhao Canghai and other officers to accompany her mother and two girls to a hill in the south to relax.
Caishi Town is surrounded by mountains on three sides. The mountains in the north and west are gentler, while the mountains in the south are steep. The hill Liu Ruyi and his party climbed is the one closest to the town and the gentlest one.
Standing on the mountain, overlooking all living beings from a high place, one's mood becomes much more relaxed!
It was also the first time that Liu Ruyi was able to see clearly the overall environment of Caishi Town. The area where the entire town is located should be a semi-mountainous and semi-hilly landform. The mountains gradually become gentle from west to east, and there is a small river on both sides of the east.
It is a flat and long and narrow valley, and most of the grain fields of the entire military town are concentrated here.
At this time, unlike later generations, although it was winter, the vegetation was quite dense. Looking around from the top of the mountain, dark green pine forests could be seen everywhere, and the slender official road was like a winding link.
Connect the town with the outside world.
Although Zhao Sanhu and Zhao Canghai were standing far away, Xiao Zixin and Chun Yunu still covered their veils, while Xiao Liuer and Huo Lang were like shadows, always following Liu Ruyi. It was not peaceful at the moment.
, Liu Ruyi never dared to take the safety of herself and her family lightly!
It’s easy to hide from open guns, but hard to guard against hidden arrows! Only by being careful can you sail the thousand-year ship!
"Liu Lang, I have never realized that this world is so magnificent!" Chunyu Nu leaned on Liu Ruyi's shoulder and murmured softly.
Xiao Zixin also seemed to feel something. She gently stretched out her arms and breathed in the free air.
Mrs. Zou was sitting on a large bluestone nearby, looking at her son lovingly, but thinking in her heart, when would she be able to hold her grandson?
Liu Ruyi put his arms around Chun Yunu's slender waist, looked at the world, and then looked at the ant-sized figures in the small town at the foot of the mountain. Suddenly, he took a deep sigh, feeling an inexplicable heavy pressure.
