Seeing Da Qiao come over, Lin Chen remembered that he had invited Da Qiao to tell him about the situation in Lujiang yesterday. Fortunately, he had met him. Otherwise, he would have stood him up.
He rubbed his nose to ease the awkwardness.
"Ahem, Miss Da Qiao, you don't have to be so polite. Have you had breakfast?”
"Daren, you can just call me Da Qiao. I ate before I left.”
"Alright, Da Qiao."
This shout was very natural. Da Qiao lowered his head slightly, feeling a little embarrassed.
After all, the era was different. Looking at the shy Da Qiao, Lin Chen's smile grew wider.
No matter which era it was, a girl as gentle as water could only be found by luck.
Da Qiao looked around in confusion. He saw that his personal guards were gathering one after another. He asked curiously,
"Sir, are you going out?"
Lin Chen explained," I'm preparing to go to the military camp.”
"Then…"
Her red lips parted slightly, but she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. It was obvious that she wanted to ask Lin Chen what she should do about Lujiang.
"Do you have anything else to do today?"
Lin Chen naturally knew what the lady was thinking and asked casually.
Da Qiao shook his head, thinking that Lin Chen had really forgotten. He hesitated slightly, but still reminded him,
"Didn't Milord say to let Da Qiao tell you about Lujiang?”
Her voice was soft and a little lacking in confidence.
Looking at Da Qiao's expression, Lin Chen also smiled.
"There's no hurry. If you have nothing to do, why don't you come with me to the military camp to take a look? I need your help."
"Ah?"
A look of astonishment flashed across her pretty face.
When she came back to her senses, she said worriedly,"I... Can I?"
"Of course. I will be leading some people to run laps later. You can take a pen and ink and watch from the side. Just write down the situation of the people after the third lap.”
"Running laps?"
Her big watery eyes were filled with doubt.
"You'll know in a while. I'll get them to help you. They might faint or lose their strength as they run. When they recover, you just need to remember their names and how many laps they ran.”
"Yes!"
Da Qiao quickly nodded. Although she did not know what Lin Chen's goal was, she knew that Lin Chen wanted to reform Lujiang. She was still very excited to be able to contribute to the reform of Lujiang.
Soon, the hundred personal guards had gathered.
Lin Chen also brought Da Qiao and his 100 personal guards to the military camp.
The military camp is located in the north of the city.
Relatively speaking, there were fewer people here.
The military camp was an important place. Usually, ordinary people would not be allowed to approach it easily, so it was naturally much quieter.
The military camp is very big.
As the military camp of a county, it would not be a problem to station 30,000 soldiers.
Of course, 10,000 was the best if he wanted to do normal activities and training.
Considering the current food reserves and financial situation of Lujiang Prefecture, according to the figures Qiao Song gave him this morning,
five thousand people
Put more rice in the bigger pot
5,000 people was actually quite a lot.
Of course, this was the number given by Qiao Song.
After Lin Chen received the proposal, he thought for a moment and changed it from 5,000 to 3,000.
Their pay was doubled, and the original two meals in the morning and evening were changed to three meals in the morning, noon and evening.
However, before enlisting, one had to pass an assessment. Only those who passed could enlist.
With limited funds, this was the only way to improve the quality of the soldiers.
When they learned that the military pay had increased, more and more people came to sign up for the army.
On Lin Chen's side, he also planned to use the fastest time to train the first batch of special forces.
There wouldn't be too many people. He would personally teach them step by step. After this batch came out, he would be able to make things much easier.
Qiao Song had no objections to reducing the number of soldiers, increasing the pay, improving the food, and screening the soldiers.
On the contrary, when Lin Chen proposed this system, Qiao Song's eyes lit up and he immediately agreed with Lin Chen's idea.
It is not the quantity of troops that counts, but the precision.
Some small details once again refreshed Qiao Song's understanding of Lin Chen.
......
All the way
When they arrived at the military camp, Lin Chen was frank and honest. He told everyone about the increase in military pay and the improvement in food.
The 1,050 soldiers were overjoyed.
However, Lin Chen immediately stated his conditions.
Every day, they had to train according to his requirements. Those who could not do it would take off their armor and leave at any time.
For a moment, everyone looked at each other. They really wanted to see what kind of tricks Lin Chen, this ignorant and incompetent person, could play.
Lin Chen calmly swept his gaze across the people who had mocking expressions on their faces. A smile appeared on his face.
Before long, the expressions on their faces would disappear.
"I'll ask again, is there anyone else leaving? If there is, take off your armor and leave the camp.”
Everyone looked at each other. With double the pay and three meals a day, no one would leave easily without experiencing hardship.
Seeing that everyone was silent, a smile appeared on Lin Chen's face again.
"Good! Since that's the case, everyone listen up. Follow me and run around the drill ground!”
“......”
"Run?"
This was the first time they had seen such a training method.
And he was following Lin Chen?
Was this a joke?
"Why? Are you unwilling?"
Lin Chen asked again when he saw the strange expressions on everyone's faces.
"Sir, if you run with us, what if you can't outrun us?”
At this moment, a busybody in the crowd asked.
Lin Chen smiled as well.
"This time, I won't compete with you in speed, but in the number of laps. Whoever can run the most laps will win. Whoever can surpass me, no matter how many people there are, will receive ten thousand yuan!”
As Lin Chen spoke, he waved at the few personal guards behind him.
Then, a few guards carried six boxes up and opened them. Inside were the same copper coins.
A thousand strings of coins for each box was at least a hundred strings of coins. Six boxes would cost at least six or seven hundred thousand.
"Ten thousand dollars!"
Once the money was out, the entire space fell silent again. Then, there was another uproar.
"Sir, will you keep your word? If all of us surpass you, will you give it to everyone?”
"Of course, the money is here. As long as someone falls behind me and runs more laps than me, they can come over and get the money.”
"Whoosh!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was another wave of discussion and cheers.
