Zhou Zhen issued the imperial edict directly, then looked at the letters and nodded with great satisfaction.
"Zhao Feng, Zhao Feng, how much more surprises can you bring me?"
Zhao Feng had no idea that Liu Wei had secretly reported his methods to Emperor Zhou Zhen, nor did he know that Zhou Zhen had promoted all of his methods.
If Zhao Feng knew these things, he would definitely make a big fuss. After all, these methods were all proposed by himself. If he used these methods, it would be possible for him to be promoted to an official position in the future, but now he is being treated like this It was blatantly plagiarized!
At this time, Zhao Feng was following Yu Ruhai on inspection tours in various counties.
The training methods of the militia teams have been handed over to various counties, and they have been training for nearly a month. Of course, Zhao Feng and Yu Ruhai want to see how effective the training of these militia teams is.
But after visiting several counties in a row, Zhao Feng and Yu Ruhai couldn't help but shake their heads.
"Mr. Zhao, this nameless training method you proposed is indeed very good. Those common people now look like soldiers."
"However, these common people are still so weak. Even if they can complete these training subjects, can they really be expected to defeat those bandits in the future?"
Yu Ruhai finally couldn't bear it anymore, sat on the carriage, turned to Zhao Feng and asked.
After going through several lines in a row, I found that the training methods of these people can strictly follow the methods formulated by Zhao Feng, but the only thing is that the physical fitness of these people is really poor.
It even happened that some militia members fell down when Yu Ruhai went to review!
Zhao Feng was silent at this time and said nothing, but he had already secretly clenched his fists.
After hearing Yu Ruhai's question, Zhao Feng couldn't help but sigh and slammed the wooden board with his hand, which shocked Yu Ruhai.
"Mr. Zhao, what's wrong?"
Zhao Feng realized that he had lost his composure, so he shook his head and said to Yu Ruhai.
"Sir, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the method I formulated. Otherwise, these people would not have become what they are now."
"And now there is only one possibility why the physical fitness of these people has become so poor."
When Zhao Feng said this, his eyes couldn't help but become a little deep.
"The training intensity in the training plan I formulated is very high. After all, we have to train these common people into soldiers who can fight those bandits in the shortest possible time."
"Under such a strong training intensity, if we want to ensure that these people complete the training on time, we must provide them with sufficient nutrition!"
Yu Ruhai nodded and looked at Zhao Feng with some doubts.
Zhao Feng had already mentioned this matter before when he handed over these training plans to him, so Yu Ruhai specially allocated some funds to each county specifically to increase nutrition for the members of these militia teams.
But at this time, after hearing Zhao Feng's words and combining it with what he actually saw today, Yu Ruhai suddenly had a bad guess in his mind and took a breath of shock.
"Mr. Zhao, do you mean that people in the county government embezzled all these funds?"
Zhao Feng nodded silently, his face turning ashen.
Zhao Feng really underestimated how bold these corrupt officials in the Zhou Dynasty were. After all, among the officials he met, whether it was Yu Ruhai or the previous magistrate, although not as clear as water and as bright as a mirror, , but at least you know what you can and cannot do.
But the county magistrates in these places are so audacious that all the money they used to supplement the nutrition of the militia was embezzled by these magistrates!
"Sir, if you don't believe it, you can send someone to investigate secretly, and you can find out."
"If this continues, even if these common people barely complete those training subjects, I am afraid they will become sick from overwork. Not only will they be unable to exert any combat effectiveness, they will even die from exhaustion and injure a large number of people!"
Zhao Feng's words sounded the alarm for Yu Ruhai, who gritted his teeth and said.
"How dare these people!"
"These common people in the militia will fight against those bandits in the future. Is this how they treat these common people?"
Zhao Feng turned to look at Yu Ruhai and said quietly.
"I'm afraid there are many officials like this. If you can't come up with a way to solve this situation, our militia will have to be disbanded!"
Yu Ruhai was immediately shocked. If he really messed up this matter, then everyone from himself to the county magistrates below would be beaten to the end.
After all, the method proposed by Zhao Feng is perfect, but if the matter fails due to the corruption of these officials, even if Zhao Feng does not blame himself, His Majesty will have no way to explain it!
So Yu Ruhai quickly grabbed Zhao Feng's hand and looked at Zhao Feng sincerely.
"Mr. Zhao, please help me!"
"We can only succeed in this matter, even if we fail, we cannot fail because of something like this!"
"Is there really nothing we can do?"
Zhao Feng smiled bitterly. These officials were corrupt because of their human nature. There were even many officials who worked hard to gain fame just to be able to make money as officials.
Wanting to solve this matter is equivalent to fighting against the greed in human nature. How can it be so easy to solve?
However, Zhao Feng also knew that if this matter really went wrong, he might not be able to afford it.
So Zhao Feng frowned and thought for a moment, and suddenly thought of a method.
"I have an idea."
"Sir, what these officials embezzled is nothing more than the money we sow."
"In this case, let's not give them any money at all, but directly choose some restaurants in various counties to cooperate with them and let them provide some meals to these soldiers!"
Yu Ruhai looked at Zhao Feng in shock, and was once again impressed by Zhao Feng's unconstrained thinking.
Indeed, what those officials embezzled was money. If they exchanged the money for prepared meals, those officials would not be able to embezzle even if they wanted to.
But is this really something that people can come up with?
But then I thought about it, although Zhao Feng's method sounds a bit fanciful, but if it is implemented, it might really be possible to succeed.
Yu Ruhai was immediately overjoyed and nodded quickly.
