Chapter 94

In the dark night, the businessmen who came to visit Xiao Ming left one after another.

Xiao Ming asked lvluo to write down the bill and give it to Li Kaiyuan. Now these businessmen are just making oral promises. Whether they can realize it or not is still a question mark.

However, he didn't care that they would break the contract, because the introduction of membership system made these businessmen have no reason to ask for favor under the banner of vassal and Prince.

By using this system, he not only regulated the status and code of conduct of merchants in the chamber of Commerce, but also made a lot of profits for his fiefdom.

The news of membership spread quickly among businessmen.

In order to get the distribution right of glass ahead of time, many businessmen are not stingy of money and donate to the chamber of Commerce to get the qualification of goods ahead of time.

However, those businessmen who do not have sufficient funds can only look at the chamber of Commerce and sigh, hoping that they will gradually accumulate and one day become members of the chamber of Commerce.

In a short period of time, a large number of businessmen came to the chamber of Commerce to bring a large number of donations, some materials began to enter Qingzhou.

"Your Highness, you are really good at this move. Just one member made these merchants spit out a lot of money. Unexpectedly, the Cao family in the south of the Yangtze River could not sit still this time. They donated a bronze member directly."

At the Tuojiang wharf, Li Kaiyuan looks at the continuous flow of freighters entering the wharf and excitedly says to Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming didn't expect that this time the glass caught the big fish of Cao family. For a long time, Cao family kept a distance from Xiao Ming, but he didn't expect that this time he was not calm.

"The Cao family used to look down on the petty profits, but now the glass comes out, and the membership system promises to sell technology, so the Cao family is naturally moved." Xiao Ming said.

A bronze member needs to donate a lot of things. This time, the Cao family is a big hand, which makes the Treasury of Qingzhou a lot fatter.

"However, the business of the Cao family is all over the world. If they let him get the glass ahead of time, they will certainly make a lot of profits in the short term." Li Kaiyuan said.

"We don't care about that. Anyway, they will give us money for the goods they take from us. The more we sell, the more we earn." Xiao Ming is in a good mood these days. This time, the glass and membership system have provided him with a lot of capital and labor.

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

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

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

In this short period of time, the production of the steel workshop has not stopped. On the contrary, the production speed has been greatly improved because of the skilled craftsmen. Now there are 3000 sets of armor delivered to the Qingzhou army. In a month or two, it is estimated that the Qingzhou army will be able to achieve one set of armor for each soldier.

In addition to plate armour, the workshop also delivered 1000 swords, 500 sets of crossbows and arrows, as well as some shields and knives.

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

He went in and saw that Luffy was taking the soldiers to practice the battle.

In ancient wars, the ability to fight was basically reflected in the battle front, and the role of individuals 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 have been trained and will form a battle line and those who are scattered.

A 5000 strong and well disciplined battle line is enough to easily defeat several times the enemy. In many cases, it is this that leads to the victory of the few over the many.

The square array that Lu Fei asked his soldiers to drill at this time is the most basic array. At the same time, there are round array, conical array, wild goose array and so on. In the battlefield, he will understand that he can change the battle array at any time according to the changes of the battlefield situation.

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

However, Lu Fei is practicing square array at any time this time. At a glance, Xiao Ming finds that this kind of square array is not for ordinary match.

Seeing Xiao Ming coming, Lu Fei gave a "stop" and then came to Xiao Ming.

"Your Highness is frowning. Is there anything wrong with this battle?" Luffy asked with a bow.

Xiao Mingzhi was a vassal of six states. He was a governor in charge of the military affairs of the six states. His identity as a vassal also enabled him to manage all the affairs of the fiefdom.

Lu Fei is only the captain of Qingzhou school, which can be said to be Xiao Ming's direct subordinate.

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

"The former army crossbow hand, the middle army commander Spearman, the rear army stranger swordsman, this kind of battle array is used to deal with the cavalry." Xiao Ming said.

"Does your highness know how to fight?" Luffy said strangely.

Xiao Ming turned his lips and said, "I'm proficient in any battle. Don't look down on me, Captain Lu."

Lu Fei showed a look of surprise, "so, your highness will also train?"

Now Xiao Ming doesn't dare boast. He knows that fighting and training soldiers are two different things.

He said casually, "I'll tell you when I have time. This time I'm here to check the equipment of the soldiers."

Speaking of this, Luffy suddenly excited, "Your Highness, you see, these soldiers put on plate armor, but this momentum is enough to make the enemy cold."In the school yard of the military camp, five thousand soldiers are neatly arranged into ten square arrays, and the visual effect is similar to the collection of school break exercises.

But the difference is that the plate armor on the soldiers and the cold light weapons in their hands make them look murderous.

See these armed to the teeth of the soldiers, his heart suddenly rose a heroic feeling.

In the future, he will no longer need to be afraid of Qingzhou's powerful families, and he will not need to make profits in order to worry about them. The strong Qingzhou army is enough to crush anyone who dares to threaten him.

"Well, it's really powerful, but it's not enough. We have to keep up with the training. We can't waste such excellent equipment." Xiao Ming said.

These plates are the best quality steel in the iron and steel workshop, and they are forged by hammers. He is confident that the quality of these plates will not be lower than that of modern 17th century plates.

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

"Your Highness, the training will be given to me. If your highness is not satisfied in three months, Lufei will come to see him. However, your highness, the second batch of new army will enter the camp. Look at the equipment?" Lu Fei rubbed his hands and said with a smile.

Xiao Ming is helpless. Lu Fei's three words are not separated from his profession now. When he sees him, he wants to equip him. He says: "every soldier will have one piece of equipment, and a thousand horses will come in a few days. You can leave some soldiers to build cavalry."

"A thousand horses?" Lu Feile couldn't close his mouth and said: "Your Highness, where did you get so many war horses? Now I lack horses most. When I fought with barbarians before, I suffered losses from cavalry. The barbarian cavalry ran fast and arched accurately. We couldn't catch up with them, we couldn't fight them, and we were badly injured."
