Zhu Peng understood Yan Chixia's shock, but he had seen too many monsters in the army.
For example, General Han Binghan, who is a strategist and unrivaled in military strategy; General Zhao Wushang, who has an inhuman physique, a bronze head and iron arms; General Sun Qingzhi, who has unparalleled marksmanship and is otherworldly...
Even if we don't talk about those generals, he is also a captain, but his ability is not the most outstanding.
Yan Chixia was extremely surprised after listening to Zhu Peng's general introduction to the people.
Why do so many powerful masters suddenly appear in this world? I have never heard of them before. Could it be that they are all trained by the [Taiping Army]? !
However, in just over nine years, Yan Chixia can still barely believe that if she has practiced martial arts to the extreme, she does not rule out the existence of some geniuses, but the art of war and military strategy must be immersed in it for decades. What kind of military skills can be mastered in just nine years? slightly? !
Yan Chixia suddenly remembered that she saw soldiers teaching children to read outside the city, so she asked him about it.
Zhu Peng explained: "This is a task assigned to every commander in the [Taiping Army], to eradicate illiteracy."
"I was assigned one too, in my first year."
Although Zhu Peng could not read medical books, under the supervision of his father, he knew at least the words and was one of the few "educated people" in his group.
Yan Chixia looked up and down with her eyes, amazed.
"Your boy has also been a gentleman?!"
"However, is it appropriate to let military men teach children to read? Can they understand classic articles~?"
Zhu Peng shook his head and said, "Uncle Yan, you misunderstood."
"Their mission is only to teach people to read and write, not to learn a subset of classics and history. Only those who are interested will learn those things."
"Xuan Zun handed down a book called "Enlightenment of Sound and Rhythm" and first asked all the soldiers of the [Taiping Army] to practice it."
"When I first joined the army, most of my colleagues were ignorant and illiterate."
"His Holiness said: If one person learns it, he will teach it to ten people; if ten people learn it, he will teach it to a hundred people, and so on, if ten thousand people learn it, he will teach it to the whole army, and the whole army will learn it and spread it throughout the countryside."
Yan Chixia was immediately in awe.
Those who can say such words and put them into practice are worthy of everyone's admiration.
"But why not hire a dedicated teacher?"
Yan Chixia's thinking habits are still relatively traditional, and she believes that teaching and educating people is a matter for literati.
Zhu Peng said: "Not to mention that there were not so many teachers at that time, His Holiness said: There must be no illiterates in the army. When soldiers were mentioned in the past, everyone's impression was that they were rough men or gangsters in official attire, but [ Taiping Army] You can’t do this~!”
"If we want to bring peace to the people, we must improve our own quality, whether it is physical or cultural quality."
"Uncle Yan, in our army, just being able to fight is not enough."
Yan Chixia looked at Zhu Peng's confident and proud expression when he talked about military affairs, and her heart seemed to be touched.
"If you want to become a commander, you must have one year of teaching experience; as for the centurion at the higher level, you have to start learning about troop formations; as for the commander of a thousand, you have to master the use of various ordnances, military tactics and strategies ; When you reach the general level, you must have military strategy insights that convince the entire army!"
"In other words, only in this way can they swipe other people to become generals..."
Yan Chixia no longer knew what to say.
Is this an army? ?
Thirty thousand elite soldiers who are literate and able to command and enforce orders, plus Zhu Peng said there are those who are eliminated every year...
With such training, how could he feel that any leader here could lead an army outside~!
He asked: "What about your art of war...? What Uncle Yan means is that you don't like reading, don't you?"
Zhu Peng raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I do feel sleepy just reading medical books, but I found that the art of war and tactics, the more I read, the more energetic I become."
Yan Chixia shut up.
He could already imagine his old half-immortal friend, how he used to jump around, and he would definitely scold him as "unworthy, unworthy".
"What about your food source?"
"With so many young men joining the army, what will happen to the fields? Could it be a military camp?"
"...If it's something secret, forget it."
Yan Chixia realized that this kind of thing is usually the key.
Zhu Peng said: "This is not a secret. Even the training situation in our army, except for a few, most others also know that there are many soldiers who have been eliminated."
"A military camp is not a military camp. Daily training, study, and duty take up a whole day."
"There is a dedicated person responsible for the mulberry farming. In addition to the continuous improvement of farm tools, there is also the selection of improved seeds, etc. However, the most laborious work is done by monsters..."
"etc!!"
Yan Chixia suddenly interrupted, his expression serious.
"You just said...you make monsters do things??"
"You are playing with fire. Do you know that most monsters are unruly, bloody and cruel, how can they obey orders?! If it backfires, the consequences will be disastrous!"
Over the years, Yan Chixia has seen hundreds of demons eating and harming people.
Especially after practicing magic, he understood that the yang energy in a living person was equivalent to a person's need to eat for monsters and ghosts, and the purer the yang energy, the more nourishing it was.
Of course, if you are dedicated to pure cultivation, you can do it. However, Yan Chixia has never encountered such a monster so far.
It's equivalent to a simple meal. Almost everyone would definitely prefer big fish, big meat, and delicacies from the mountains and seas.
Yan Chixia still couldn't believe it, so Zhu Peng offered to take him to have a look.
"It happens to be the autumn harvest season now. If Uncle Yan doesn't believe it, why not just take a look and find out."
"Uh...is it convenient?"
"It's not a secret."
………………
suburbs. farmland.
Yan Chixia saw a bamboo demon casting a spell. Within a few dozen meters, the heavy rice grains suddenly fell out and fell into the sacks that had been prepared nearby. The farmers skillfully picked them up and left.
Speaking of farmers, Yan Chixia found that all of them had bulging tendons and flesh, unlike those in other places who were skinny and skinny. With this kind of physique, one person could work as hard as three or four people in other places.
The bamboo demon's magic power was limited, and he was exhausted after casting spells on such a large area for more than a dozen times. He took the opportunity to rest and recover. Fortunately, it also took time to carry the sacks.
Yan Chixia saw dozens of soldiers surrounding the bamboo demon.
Zhu Peng said: "When he is exhausted, our soldiers are responsible for protecting him."
Then, Yan Chixia saw that under the bamboo demon's spell, all the food in the thousand acres of fertile land had been harvested in a little more than half a day.
"The efficiency is indeed amazing!"
He didn't expect that the ability to be a monster would have such an effect when used here? !
No.
It should be said that monsters have always been capable of this, but no one has ever thought of and allowed them to do such things that benefit the people.
Zhu Peng said mysteriously: "It's not over yet!"
As he spoke, a stone demon slammed the ground, its demonic power was released, and the soil suddenly surged like waves.
The rice stalks staggered and fell over, and as the soil surged, they were quickly swallowed up. Visible to the naked eye, a flat land appeared within a radius of dozens of meters.
Yan Chixia looked at Zhu Peng: "Is this...?"
Zhu Peng explained: "Returning rice straw to the fields can increase the fertility of the land. With the presence of this stone demon, he can evenly turn over the fields and crush the rice straws in an instant."
"So each autumn harvest only requires one demon of vegetation and one demon who can control earth and stone. However, there are still too few people available in the demon department."
Yan Chixia felt that she needed to take a break and relax her mind.
Seeing this harmonious scene, he couldn't help but have this thought:
Can humans, demons and ghosts live in harmony? ?
Who are those four venerables? !
He murmured: "How on earth is this done?..."
Zhu Peng heard it and said softly:
"Nothing but "three chapters of agreement" is all."
"Three chapters of agreement??"
“Those who kill will be punished by death, those who injure others will be punished, and those who steal will be punished, regardless of demons.”
………………
The fabrications of people are called demons, the nature and spirit of things are called essences, the lingering souls are called ghosts, and the abnormalities of things are called strange things.
