Duan Qing suddenly sighed: "It is not necessarily a good thing for a woman to be too beautiful. Those so-called nobles are actually a bunch of rotten people and are not worthy of my sister at all. If she marries those people, her life will be over. .”
Ye Ming didn't notice that Duan Qing felt sorry for his sister, so he asked: "What is your sister's name? Nandu is so big, but there is no one suitable for her?"
Duan Qing said: "She is called Xiaoxian. Because she is so beautiful, most people feel that they are not worthy of her, so from the age of thirteen or fourteen, a group of noble boys have been surrounding her. Because she is used to seeing rich men, Xiaoxian's vision She is very tall, and her personality has become increasingly aloof and arrogant. She has become arrogant, unruly and willful. My eldest brother and I have a headache because of this, and we feel that if she continues like this, she will be destroyed."
Ye Ming nodded. If a woman is supported by a group of men, she will naturally develop an arrogant temper. He said: "Since your sister is already like this, it will be difficult to change her back."
Duan Qing suddenly thought of something. He looked directly at Ye Ming and said, "Brother Ji, can you do me a favor?"
Ye Ming felt furious when he saw him and asked, "What are you doing?"
Duan Qing looked at Ye Ming seriously, and the more he looked, the more satisfied he became, and said: "Brother Ji, I didn't take a closer look before and realized that you are really handsome. You must have temperament and temperament, height and height, and the most important thing is that you have Even my eldest brother is far behind you in terms of money. If you appear in front of Xiaoxian, she will definitely fall for you."
Ye Ming's face darkened: "I don't need your sister's admiration!"
Duan Qing sighed: "Brother Ji, you have to help me no matter what. For no other reason, I just want to let Xiaoxian know that there are men in this world who are ten thousand times better than those trash."
Ye Ming sneered: "Is your idea too simple? If I stand in front of her, will she fall in love with me? To take a step back, even if she falls in love with me, what should I do in the end? Marry her or abandon her? ?”
Duan Qingqi asked: "Why does Brother Ji have such thoughts? Isn't my sister good enough for you?"
Ye Ming said seriously: "I already have someone I like."
Duan Qing was even more surprised: "Brother Ji, my eldest brother has three wives and six concubines. Even I have seven or eight beauties at home. You won't only marry one woman in your life, right?"
Ye Ming was speechless, and in the end he could only say: "In short, don't come to me about this matter." After saying that, he pushed Duan Qing and the two got into the sedan.
When they returned to the Prince's Mansion, it was already bright and the two of them did not need to rest and started today's training directly. This was Ye Ming's first time to participate in the drill, and he was very serious. He found that the battle formations rehearsed by the Guards were extremely efficient and could exert strong combat power in actual combat.
Battle formation is the most commonly used method in war, it can bring everyone's strength together. In front of dozens of millions of troops, even the God of War would retreat and not dare to challenge them lightly. Battle formations come in different sizes. For example, the Azure Dragon Sun Swallowing Formation is a large battle formation, suitable for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people to use together. The Guards Regiment uses small battle formations, and the chain battle formation Ye Ming and others are practicing is one of the small battle formations.
The chain battle formation connects everyone's strength into a chain of strength. The strength of 1,800 strong martial masters are connected into one, which is enough to easily tie up the martial master and even defeat the martial saint, thereby preparing the way for the arrival of reinforcements. Buy enough time.
On the school grounds, 1,800 personal guards performed skillfully, while Duan Qing and Duan Xi hid in the distance and muttered, glancing at Ye Ming from time to time. If the latter heard their conversation, they would probably vomit blood on the spot.
"Brother, look at Ji Wu Jiu's body, appearance, and qualifications. He will definitely be successful in the future. My little sister will fall in love with him as soon as she sees him. If little sister and Ji Wu Jiu really get together, how many children will they have? Pretty? And he must be a little genius. Well, if it's a boy, let his surname be Duan." Duan Qing looked at Ye Ming who was practicing and smiled, as if he had seen his little nephew waving to him.
Duan Xi listened for a while, nodded and said: "I am moved by what you said. I just don't know what Xiaoxian thinks. Xiaoxian is a top-grade holy body. Now she has the cultivation of a great martial artist. I'm afraid she won't look down on her. Ji Wujiu is still a martial artist. Besides, Ji Wujiu has no status, how can he compare with those nobles and princes?"
Duan Qing disagreed and said: "What's the matter? Don't forget that Ji Wujiu is rich. This time he sends troops to Xuantian World, isn't it a 'contract system'? As long as he is willing to pay, he can do whatever he wants. A general."
Duan Xi's eyes lit up and he said: "I can't come forward in this matter. You go and test Ye Ming. If he is willing to 'recruit troops', there should be no problem with Xiaoxian."
Ye Ming still doesn't know that he has been plotted by the two "big uncles", and he is still calculating the battle formation. Suddenly, he jumped out of the queue and shouted: "Captain!"
Duan Xi walked over quickly, with an angry look on his face, and asked: "Ye Ming, why did you leave the team? Do you have military discipline in your eyes?"
Ye Ming: "Captain, I didn't mean to disrupt military discipline, but I thought of a way to improve the battle formation."
Duan Xi was stunned: "Improved battle formation? Do you know that this battle formation has been formed after thousands of generations of people? You actually said that you want to change it, are you out of your mind?"
Ye Ming was not angry and said with a smile: "Captain, if my method is ineffective, then my subordinates are willing to be punished."
Duan Xi secretly thought, is this kid really capable? He thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Okay, I want to see how you change it!"
In fact, Ye Ming's changes are very small. He wants to change the battle formation. It's not that the battle formation is not perfect, but that this battle formation is universal and anyone can use it. The changes he called were actually made for the 1,800 personal guards on site to make the battle formation more consistent with them.
The guards are all used to it. After listening to Ye Ming's explanation, they can immediately follow it. I saw everyone's strength squeezed into a rope, wandering all over the sky like a dragon. It was much more flexible than a chain, and its power was also slightly improved.
Duan Xi raised his eyebrows and immediately flew into the formation. People knew that he wanted to test the power of the improved battle formation, so they raised their spirits and mobilized with all their strength. I saw a rope of Gangqi that was unpredictable, like a dragon or a snake, encircling Duan Xi in the middle, and tied him up in just a few breaths.
"Stop." He shouted, everyone stopped, and the rope disappeared.
Duan Xi smiled and said: "Yes, the power of the battle formation has been increased by at least 20%. Wujiu, you have made a great contribution. I will report this to the Crown Prince and give you a reward."
Ye Ming smiled and said: "I just tried it, but I didn't expect it to succeed."
After the morning exercise, everyone went to the cafeteria to eat. Duan Qing followed Ye Ming. After serving the meal, the two sat together.
Ye Ming: "Second Master Qing, why are you following me?"
Duan Qing grinned: "Brother Ji is joking, what the second master, call me Xiao Qing."
Ye Ming: "Okay Xiaoqing, as long as it's not your sister's matter, you can say anything."
Duan Qing immediately said: "This has nothing to do with Xiaoxian." At that moment, he told Ye Ming about the military contracting system.
There was a time when the five great dynasties established the so-called military contracting system in order to reduce military expenditures. Baobing means contracting soldiers. The more money participants pay, the more soldiers can be contracted. The person who contracts soldiers is called the military leader. The military leader has the right to appoint officers, who can be his own people or entrust the military to send people to serve.
During the war, all spoils of war belong to the owner of the army, while military merit awards and other rewards come from the national treasury. Of course, soldiers are mainly responsible for the soldiers’ pay and military supplies. In this way, the dynasty could launch a large-scale war at a small cost.
Because of this advantage, the system of recruiting soldiers has been popular for hundreds of years. It was not until the later period when a military leader became powerful and threatened the dynasty's rule that the five major dynasties had to stop using it for a period of time. Now that the Suzaku Dynasty has returned to the contracting of troops system, it can be seen that the consumption of foreign campaigns is huge, and it is no longer able to support the funds for attacking Xuantian World.
Ye Ming's eyes lit up when he heard this, and asked: "Can anyone become a soldier?"
"The position of military commander is subject to auction, and the highest bidder will get the military power. Once you become a military commander, you can lead the army in war, and you can also become a general of the Suzaku Dynasty, or even a general or marshal." Duan Qing said, "Every time By this time, all the major families, sects, sects, and gangs will be squandering their wallets and soldiers, and the competition will be very fierce."
Ye Ming: "If I want to bring in 100,000 people, how much will I need to invest?"
Duan Qing counted with his fingers: "With a leader of 100,000, he is at least a fourth-grade general. The price of each soldier is at least 50,000 Martial God coins, which is 5 billion Martial God coins."
Ye Ming calculated that he had about 13 billion Martial God coins in his hand, of which 10 billion were used to recruit soldiers, and the remaining 3 billion were used to purchase military supplies. In this case, he could become a soldier leading 200,000 soldiers. host. Back then, his master Wu Qianying could only lead an army of 100,000.
Duan Qing said: "Brother Ji, the water here is too deep. Only an expert can know which soldiers are good and which are bad. If Brother Ji wants to recruit soldiers, this matter must be taken care of by the eldest brother. The eldest brother is from the army. So far, many Pao Zeshang serves in the army and knows the affairs inside very well."
Ye Ming was really moved, so he asked: "When will the Bao Bing start?"
"It's been a while," Duan Qing said, "There are auctions every day on the campus. Brother Ji, do you want to go and take a look?"
Ye Ming nodded: "Okay, let's go have a look at noon and call the group leader."
Duan Xi was also very concerned about the life-long matter of his sister, so he agreed directly. He waved his sleeves, and the light energy enveloped the three people and they flew away. They arrived at their destination, Suzaku School Ground, in an instant.
The Suzaku Campus is located in the northern suburbs and covers an area of tens of thousands of acres. It was used to review the three armies during war. Emperor Suzaku came here more than once to order troops and also conferred the title of commander-in-chief of the three armies here. At this moment, tens of thousands of soldiers are displayed like statues in the center of the square, accepting the observation of buyers. A large temporary tent was set up not far away, and those who were interested in recruiting soldiers sat inside.
When Ye Ming and others came, the person in charge inside was making a quotation.
"The original 'Zhennan Army' has 15,000 soldiers, and the starting price is 500 million." The person in charge was fat, with beads of sweat on his forehead. He quoted the price vigorously.
