"Sir, do we still need to ask Chaoxian for instructions on some matters now?"
Yang Qian said calmly, "We must also be polite when courting virtuous people to give face. Otherwise, it would be shameless to give face. In this way, the king's face will feel better. Who can guess the king's thoughts? If he gets angry, it will be difficult." No, let’s start a civil war now?”
"I see, Master, you are still as thoughtful and thoughtful as before."
Yang Gan pointed to his temple.
"Don't think that we are at the border and the court can't deal with us. If we really want to make enemies, it will do us a lot of harm but no good. In addition, the family hates me deeply. Your Majesty can just help me hold them back. It can be considered as my reward." Bar."
After saying that, he immediately opened the box and saw inside a folded piece of black, gold and red cloth, a black and gold tiger charm and a wooden box.
After seeing that it was what he wanted, Yang Gan said hello to everyone and then rode to the New Army camp.
New army camp.
A slender man wearing armor stood on the school field. For some reason, the armor on his body gave people a very inconsistent feeling.
"Dear soldiers, we still have 5,210 people today, which means that 210 people will be eliminated today."
"The New Army only accepts the strong, not the weak. Those who are eliminated will go back to the logistics and practice. They may not have the opportunity to join the New Army in the future. Those who stay should not be arrogant and complacent. We will assess you every six months, and those who fail will be kicked back. Originally belonged to the army."
"have you understood?"
"promise!"
The voices of more than 5,000 people turned out to be uniform, and the entire battlefield was filled with a murderous look.
Although most of these people are young people, they are all veterans of hundreds of battles. Some of them have even been with Yang Qian since he started his career. They have experienced no less than a hundred battles, large and small. They can be said to be among the elite. Elite.
War, killing, resisting, and attacking are commonplace for them, and they can be called real killing machines.
Only one-fifth of them were selected from Yanggu Pass, county soldiers and some miscellaneous troops.
The instructor began to make arrangements, and almost all the last few hundred people began to compete in skills, and then he and several generals, Krisna, scored.
Scorers will be eliminated based on the lowest score.
It has to be said that this kind of elimination system is still very advanced in this era.
Krisna has told the instructor that she deeply knows Yang Gan's purpose of training this army.
Merely comparing strength has no effect.
The larger the battlefield, the more complicated the battle situation, and personal martial arts will be infinitely reduced, unless someone like Yang Qian is born with divine power and can also practice Qi.
Even people like Yang Gan have to wear armor made of meteorite iron before they dare to go out. Otherwise, a normal person can still be a soldier.
After screening through formations, weapons, force, tactics, etc., it only took half an hour to select the last person and eliminate them.
The eliminated soldiers did not receive any attention and immediately packed their bags. When they walked out of the camp and saw the neat military formation, several soldiers' eyes turned red, their noses became sore, and they burst into tears.
"You worthless thing, get out and cry. We frontier soldiers, with their iron-clad bodies, only bleed, not shed tears."
Seeing the man crying, Krisna immediately became angry. Doesn't he look like a man? Sure enough, not everyone is like Yang Gan.
In her mind, only Yang Gan is the best man among men, except for his appearance.
When all the eliminated soldiers were gone, the instructor yelled.
"I have taught you for a month, and you still don't know my name. It's not that I don't tell you, but that you are not qualified. Today you are qualified to know my name."
"My name is Dong Wen. I am your instructor and also your close combat instructor."
"Christina doesn't need my introduction. Today she is very likely to be your general in command in the future."
"Beside me is..."
He introduced them one by one, some taught the formation of troops, and some taught how to use various weapons and ordnance.
There are also people who can teach some wilderness survival techniques, reading and writing, and simple tactics.
There are seven or eight instructors in total, and even Cao Wushuang was temporarily arranged here. This shows that Yang Qian has high hopes for the new army.
"We have selected five candidates for school captains yesterday, and now the school captains are here to receive daily supplies."
Everyone was stunned, everything was complete, how come there were still supplies.
The five captains did not waste any time and immediately went out. When they saw the five supplies being pushed out, they immediately went back and called a few people to carry the boxes over.
Krisna walked to the stage and said loudly, "One supply is two thousand pills, one red and one black. Each person takes one red pill and one black pill every day. Take it now on the spot."
"promise!"
The captains began to open the box and pass the pills inside to the hands of junior officers layer by layer. When everyone got it, they took it without hesitation.
Not long after, the originally uniform military formation gradually became scattered. Some soldiers' bodies began to tremble. In the already hot summer, a faint mist rose from their bodies.
"Everyone, give me the time it takes to run fifty miles around the military camp and practice the basic stone lock for one stick of incense."
"promise!"
Five thousand people agreed in unison and started running.
Those who can be selected into the new army, not to mention anything else, can beat many people just for their loyalty, and some people will even have their identities verified, otherwise most people would not dare to take pills casually.
Not to mention physical fitness, which is the most basic item. Without a strong body, if you want to join the new army, you must have a skill that is very helpful to the military.
Watching everyone start to exercise, Krisna turned to look at Dong Wen.
"How much inventory of elixirs have been shipped?"
"Three days' supply!"
Krisna nodded, "The ones in the later stages should be able to keep up, right?"
Dong Wen frowned and said, "What Dr. Ge said was a little vague. I guess it will be a little difficult, but thinking about it, they have already started to think of a way. With this month's stock, I think there should be no problem."
Krisna frowned and followed Yang Qian's work, and gradually learned some of her temper. It didn't matter if she was joking around on weekdays, but at critical times, she had to be rigorous and careful.
After a month of improvement and full-scale refining, Xuanhu Academy has accumulated a large amount of inventory and developed a standard value due to long-term exploration.
Under Ge Zhao's operation and Yang Qian's guidance, the Mathematical Palace was flourishing, refining the elixir for a month.
Not only have the skills become proficient, but standards have also been formulated. How many medicinal materials, how much dosage, and how many elixirs can be produced are all entered into the file.
But Yang Qian was not satisfied with this, and divided out a dozen people to set up a special department. This department was dedicated to improving and researching the red and black pills.
Many people think that research is a noble job. In fact, it is quite noble. But the more important thing is patience. Only after long-term and diligent research can we achieve results.
Krisna is very concerned about the inventory of elixirs. For five thousand people, two elixirs per person every day will cost 10,000 elixirs. Moreover, Yang Gan also had a sudden idea to feed all the cavalry and chariot horses. It is conceivable that You know how much the consumption is.
Of course, the improvements Yang Qian mentioned mainly aimed at three goals.
First: Side effects need to be reduced as much as possible, if not the best.
Second: On the premise of reducing side effects, ensure that the efficacy of the drug cannot decrease. If it can increase, there will be many rewards.
Third: Reduce costs.
These three items are all very important. If the side effects are too strong, Yang Qian would rather not train new troops. After all, these people are the future talents of Yuntong County, his own treasures.
It is also important to reduce costs. To put it bluntly, the cost of the first two elixirs is as high as 500 gold. Counting people and horses, 20,000 elixirs a day are equivalent to one thousand gold.
Damn, one thousand gold, if placed in an ordinary vassal state, would be enough to purchase a full set of armor and weapons for an ordinary army of 3,000 men.
One can imagine how much it costs.
After Xuanhu Academy, who worked overtime to develop it, the price of each pill has been reduced to 20 yuan. After all, the cost of refining in batches is reasonable.
It only cost 40 gold a day. Although it was still expensive, when Yang Qian traded medicinal materials with others, he also promoted large-scale cultivation of medicinal materials.
In fact, for some medicinal materials that I don't have and need to buy from merchants, I directly use the power of my own caravan. Not only is the price cheap, but sometimes I don't need to pay for it and I pay directly with grain and grass, so the price can be kept so low.
"You have to follow me carefully and don't cut off your daily consumption. If Mr. Wu An is angry, it will be difficult for anyone to do anything."
Dong Wen's stern expression just now turned into a flattering one in an instant.
"General Krisna, you don't know about our elixir..."
Krisna laughed. As expected, people still think about themselves. If they don’t know the properties of the medicine, it’s okay. If they know the properties of the medicine, as a martial arts practitioner, how many people can resist?
"All of you, if you think your body can handle it, go to the warehouse and get it yourself."
Suddenly, all the instructors ran towards the warehouse, but Dong Wen was stopped. He was a little anxious, but he couldn't get angry with Krisna.
Firstly, Krisna's level is too high. Secondly, I really can't beat her. She is too fierce. I don't know how Wu Anjun subdued this barbarian.
"Remember to take some more and give them to Baili Shuang. Say it's your Majesty's wish. As for what other rangers want, you can exchange them for military merits. One military merit can be exchanged for a week's worth of medicine."
Dong Wen was overjoyed and said.
"promise!"
An auxiliary soldier ran over from the door and cupped his hands.
"General, you are coming up!"
Krisna was overjoyed.
"Where is the person?"
"Senate Hall."
Krisna immediately ran over.
When he opened the door, he saw Yang Qian sitting in his seat wearing casual clothes.
