In the dim night, the businessmen who came to visit Xiao Ming left one after another. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Xiao Ming asked the bills written down by Luluo to be handed over to Li Kaiyuan, and these businessmen are only verbal promises now, and there is a question mark over whether they can be realized.

However, he didn't care that they would break the contract, because the introduction of the membership system gave these merchants no longer a reason to use the banner of vassal kings and princes to curry favors.

And he used this system to not only standardize the status and code of conduct of merchants in the chamber of commerce, but also to seek a lot of benefits for his fiefdom.

Word of membership quickly spread among merchants.

In order to get the distribution right of glass in advance, many businessmen did not hesitate to donate money to the Chamber of Commerce to obtain the qualification to get the goods in advance.

And those businessmen who do not have sufficient funds can only look at the chamber of commerce and sigh, hoping to accumulate slowly and one day become a member of the chamber of commerce.

In a short period of time, a large number of donations brought by the swarming businessmen to the Chamber of Commerce, and some materials began to enter Qingzhou.

"Your Highness, your trick is really powerful, just a member made these merchants spit out a lot of silver, but I didn't expect that this time the Cao family in Jiangnan couldn't sit still, and directly donated a bronze member."

At Tuojiang Wharf, Li Kaiyuan looked at the cargo ships that kept entering the wharf, and said to Xiao Ming excitedly.

Xiao Ming didn't expect that this time the glass would actually catch the big fish of the Cao family, for so long, the Cao family has kept a distance from Xiao Ming, but he didn't expect that this time he would not be calm.

"The Cao family used to look down on those small profits, but now that this glass is out, and the membership system promises to sell technology, the Cao family is naturally tempted." Xiao Ming said.

There are a lot of things that a bronze member needs to donate, and this time the Cao family is generous, which makes Qingzhou's treasury a lot fatter.

"However, this Cao family's business is all over the world, if he is allowed to get the glass in advance, in the short term, they will definitely make a lot of profits." Li Kaiyuan said.

"We don't care about this, no matter what, they will always give the silver when they take the goods from us, and the more we sell, the more we will earn." Xiao Ming was in a good mood during this time, and this time the glass plus membership system once again provided him with a lot of funds and labor.

The construction of Qingzhou can continue to trot forward, otherwise it can only walk forward.

This time, Xiao Ming came out, one to see the donated materials, and the other to see the training of the Qingzhou Army.

After chatting with Li Kaiyuan on the dock for a while and instructing him to organize merchant ships to sell glassware as soon as possible, he rode to the camp in Qingzhou.

In this short period of time, the production of the steel workshop has not stopped, but because of the skill of the craftsmen, the production speed has been greatly improved, and now the Qingzhou Army plate armor has been delivered, and there are 3,000 sets of weapons, and in another month or two, the Qingzhou Army is estimated to be able to achieve a set of plate armor for each soldier.

In addition to plate armor, the workshop also delivered a thousand Mo knives, five hundred sets of crossbow arrows, and some shields and knives.

When he arrived at the Qingzhou camp, Xiao Ming heard the shouts of Lu Fei and the soldiers inside outside the door.

When he went in, he saw that Lu Fei was leading the soldiers to practice the battle formation.

In ancient warfare, the ability to fight was basically embodied in the battle array, and the role of the individual in this kind of hand-to-hand combat was very small.

Therefore, there is a huge gap between the combat effectiveness of the soldiers who are trained to form a battle formation and those stragglers.

A dense and disciplined battle formation of 5,000 men is enough to easily defeat several times the enemy, and many times the victory of more with less comes from this.

At this time, Lu Fei asked the soldiers to practice the square formation, which is the most basic formation, and there are also circular formations, cone formations, goose-shaped formations, etc., and the generals on the battlefield will change the battle formation at any time according to the changes in the battlefield situation.

And this time is to reflect whether the general is an excellent general.

However, this time, Lu Fei was practicing the square formation at any time, and Xiao Ming looked at it at a glance, but found that this square formation was not for ordinary matchups.

Seeing Xiao Ming coming, Lu Fei shouted "stop", and then walked towards Xiao Ming.

"Your Highness frowned, is there anything wrong with this battle array?" Lu Fei bowed and asked.

Xiao Mingzhi's six states, his identity is the governor of the capital, the commander-in-chief of the six states military, and the identity of the vassal king also allows him to manage all the government affairs of the fiefdom.

And Lu Fei is only a lieutenant in Qingzhou, and it can be said that he is Xiao Ming's direct subordinate.

Therefore, in military training, Xiao Ming has the right to command.

"The crossbowmen of the front army, the spearmen of the Chinese army, and the swordsmen of the rear army, this kind of battle formation is used to deal with the cavalry." Xiao Ming said.

"Your Highness also understands battle formations?" Lu Fei said strangely.

Xiao Ming pursed his lips and said, "This king is proficient in any battle formation, Captain Lu should not look down on me." ”

Lu Fei showed a look of surprise, "So, His Highness will also train soldiers?" ”

Xiao Ming didn't dare to brag about it now, knowing how to fight and training soldiers well are two different things.

He said sloppily, "I'll talk to you again when I'm free, this time I'm here to check the soldier's equipment." ”

Speaking of this, Lu Fei suddenly became excited, "Your Highness, you see, these soldiers are wearing plate armor, but this momentum is enough to make the enemy frightened." ”

In the school yard of the barracks, 5,000 soldiers are neatly arranged into ten phalanxes, and the visual effect is similar to the school recess exercise.

The difference was that the plate armor on the soldier's body and the cold-glowing weapon in his hand made them look murderous.

Seeing these soldiers armed to the teeth, a sense of heroism suddenly rose in his heart.

In the future, he will no longer need to be afraid of the Qingzhou wealthy clan, nor will he need to give up profits for the sake of caring for them, the strong Qingzhou army is enough to crush any wealthy clan who dares to threaten him.

"Well, it's indeed mighty, but it's not enough, the training must keep up, and you can't waste such excellent equipment." Xiao Ming said.

These plates were forged from the finest steel in the steelworks, and he was confident that the level of the plates would not be inferior to the quality of modern seventeenth-century plates.

Even because of the maturity of technology, the quality of this batch of plate armor will be higher.

"Your Highness, this training will be handed over to me, if Your Highness is not satisfied in three months, Lu Fei will come to see you, but Your Highness, this second batch of new troops is about to enter the camp, do you see this equipment?" Lu Fei rubbed his hands and smiled.

Xiao Ming was helpless, this Lu Fei is now in three sentences, and when he sees him, he wants equipment, he said: "There will be no less equipment, every soldier will have it, and there will be a thousand war horses in a few days, you leave some soldiers to build cavalry." ”

"A thousand horses?" Lu Feile couldn't close his mouth, and said in a sloppy manner: "Your Highness, where did you get so many war horses, now I am most lacking in horses, I used to fight with the barbarians when I suffered from the cavalry, this barbarian cavalry ran fast, the bow and arrow shot accurately, we couldn't catch up, we couldn't fight, and we suffered heavy casualties." ”
