It was the early morning of the second day after leaving the world of riding and slashing.
Zhang Qi spent a few days in the world of riding and slashing, discussing with a group of scholars the courses and projects that need to be studied in the next stage.
it's necessary.
What scholars in the riding and slashing world can research will all depend on what ideas Zhang Qi can come up with.
After all, the riding and slashing world is not the outside world. There are not so many demands, and naturally there will be no high-level brainstorming.
To put it bluntly, human progress all depends on what is needed. Only when there is a need will someone find ways to ease the intermediate process of getting what they need.
If the world of riding and slashing is regarded as a scientist, then the scholars living in it represent 99% of the efforts, and Zhang Qi's existence is the 1% of inspiration.
Push the door open.
The fresh morning air is very pleasant.
Wet mist filled the air, and it would not dissipate until the sun rose higher after an hour.
"Your Majesty."
Shirahoshi showed up just in time as always.
Zhang Qi nodded to her with a smile and started his day.
The 10,000 Liaodong Army has already gone to the border area of Zhao to station.
Externally, Zhang Qi meant a guard of honor to welcome Princess Qingling. Internally, everyone loyal to Zhang Qi knew that this was the captain putting pressure on King Zhao.
Head to the school grounds.
As Zhang Qi walked, someone brought him armor.
For two years in western Liaoning, Zhang Qilei personally led the Liaodong Army's morning training every day.
And since a year ago, this morning training has turned into armor training.
It started at six o'clock in the morning and ended at eight o'clock in the morning. The one-hour morning training included three subjects: cross-country five kilometers, drills, and formation.
The 20,000-strong Liaodong Army went from being on the verge of collapse during the first morning training to becoming a common occurrence now.
Habit plays the biggest role in this.
Of course, this also included the reason why Zhang Qi was always in front of them.
The coach is on board, what else can they do?
"Stand at attention! Look to the right, take a break, and dismiss!"
Conclusion: Two years are like one day.
The end of the morning training left everyone covered in sweat.
Zhang Qi is no exception.
The total weight of a set of armor exceeds thirty-five kilograms, which is absolutely heavy armor.
The armor of the Han army far exceeded that of this era.
Wearing this suit to complete five kilometers in one hour, training, and arraying, it will not be easy on the body.
The soldiers were brought back by the various units, and they went directly to the canteen.
Zhang Qi would sometimes eat there, randomly, just to see if the people in the cafeteria were suspicious.
He went too today.
The canteen is newly built and is extremely spacious, more than enough to accommodate 20,000 people.
There are as many as 400 employees in the canteen alone, and as many as one or two thousand large pots and steamers for cooking.
After all the soldiers had entered, Zhang Qicai walked in slowly.
As soon as he entered, those who were seated and those who were not seated stood up one after another.
"I've met the captain!"
The greetings of ten thousand people were so loud that if the canteen hadn't been built solidly, Zhang Qi would have thought that the roof would be blown off by the sound waves.
He waved his hands, smiled, and said nothing.
Many generals were also used to it and asked their troops to sit down.
The tables and chairs in the cafeteria were designed by Zhang Qi based on the tables and chairs in later schools. They are long and integrated, with three people sitting on one side and six people sitting on both sides, which is exactly the same as a group.
Breakfast was arranged in advance by the canteen staff. On each table were a bowl of thick porridge, thirty fist-sized steamed buns, six plates of pickles, and six chickens.
It's not a rich meal, but it's definitely nutritious. If they feel they're not full, ordinary soldiers can ask their respective corps commanders for instructions and go to the canteen window to get some.
How much you can eat depends on how much you can eat. It doesn't matter if you finish it, but if you can't finish it, then don't even think about being idle for the day.
Wasting food is an iron rule among Zhang Qijun, and it is the same crime as committing adultery.
Zhang Qi randomly found a group and squeezed in. The cafeteria staff rushed to bring the tableware. He didn't dare to give Zhang Qi extra food. Last time, someone took it upon himself to do it, but then he lost the good job. Since then, he has not No one dares to be smart anymore.
The porridge is pumpkin and millet porridge, which tastes good and slightly sweet.
After Zhang Qi started to eat, the soldiers started to move the bowls and chopsticks, and for a while the whole canteen was filled with the sound of eating porridge.
After drinking half a bowl of pumpkin and millet porridge, Zhang Qi reached out and picked up a steamed bun. It was yellow-white and made from a mixture of sorghum and wheat flour. It was rough and not very fine.
Zhang Qi took a bite and chewed it. It was a bit rough but it was not bad to resist hunger.
In this era, Zhang Qi is probably the first person who dares to feed ordinary soldiers with white flour. However, he has the capital to provide it. It is not a problem to feed three to four million people in a Xianbei granary at full capacity, let alone with Wuhuan. , and the completion of villages and towns, there will be more food income in the future.
Zhang Qi didn't eat much. He drank a bowl of porridge and one steamed bun, which was enough. He just randomly came over to check if there was anything fishy in the canteen. Now that he knew the result, he got up and left.
On the way, Bai Xing helped him take off his armor and handed him a towel.
"Your Majesty, the silver ship from Ryukyu Island has arrived at the port. The silver ingots are 18,000 kilograms, the amount for the first half of the year."
"The first deep-sea fishing organized by the Marine Products Department has also ended. Three hundred sailboats caught a total of 4.1 million catties of fish, and two of them even towed back a Kun. It lasted forty-two days. "
Wiping his face with a towel, Zhang Qi hummed.
"Well, transport it back to Wuhuan and let the mint continue to mint white dragons. Zhao State will soon get used to this kind of currency."
"Also, I've told you many times that the whale is called a whale, and you haven't even read a single page of Liu Perun's sea map."
Zhang Qi handed the towel to Bai Xing and said angrily.
"Yes." Bai Xing looked serious.
Then he whispered: "But Kun is more powerful."
"Your Majesty, are we going to see Kun?"
There was a rare eagerness to try on Bai Xing's face.
Zhang Qi gave her a funny look and didn't bother to correct her name. Thinking that there was nothing to do in the Duwei's Mansion except reading and practicing martial arts, he nodded: "Go ahead and let people prepare the boat. I'll go back first." Take a shower."
"promise!"
Zhang Qi smiled as he watched Bai Xing run out briskly.
It's rare. After all these years, this is the first time I see Bai Xing look like a little girl.
"Is she interested in Da?"
Zhang Qi walked back to the bedroom of the Captain's Mansion with a chuckle.
There is also a maid here who has put hot water on for him a long time ago. After all, it has been two years and almost all the servants in the Captain's Mansion know his habits.
Lying in the bathtub, Zhang Qi relaxed his spirit.
The maid scooped up water and poured it on him gently.
It is most comfortable to take a shower after morning training.
Half an hour later, Zhang Qi put on his clothes and came out of the bedroom feeling refreshed.
Bai Xing has been waiting for a long time.
Zhang Qi smiled and got into a carriage.
"Let's go."
Bai Xing chuckled, then waved his whip and drove the carriage all the way southeast to the port in western Liaoning.
