The strong man in front of him was named Wei Ran. After the news of recruiting soldiers in the barren mountain came out, Sun Er personally recommended it to Xiao Zicheng.

According to him, his ancestors once conquered the world with Emperor Taizu, and were considered a wealthy family back then.

Unfortunately, my family fell into trouble later and caught up with the plague and the whole family was in trouble.

In order to make a living, he had no choice but to join the Manichi religion. Later, after several years of transition to Sun Er's work, he became the guardian of the Kyoto branch of the Manichi religion.

Due to his practice of fists and feet and his amazing strange power, Wei Ran's 100-man team took the lead in several major competitions.

However, the reason why Xiao Zicheng particularly liked him was that he was well versed in military tactics and was a talented person.

Xiao Zicheng glanced at Wei Ran, who was full of hot eyes, and had a headache.

Today, I have to find a way to suppress his aura. My tail is overwhelming, and I really think that I am an enemy of thousands of people.

After a little thought, Xiao Zicheng decided to change the rules:

"The rules today are very simple. Everyone is divided into five teams, led by their respective centurions.

Each team has a big side, and if it is taken away by other teams, it will be eliminated. There is no limit to the method of taking it away, and the sunset is over.

The scope of activity is in front of this barren mountain. You now have an hour to arrange tactics, and it will start immediately after the arrows are sounded from time to time."

After listening to Xiao Zicheng's rules, Wei Ran was obviously scratching his head. This time the rules were obviously extremely unfriendly to him.

No matter how brave he is, he cannot guarantee that his team's flag will not be captured while competing for other teams.

However, the other centurions all breathed a long sigh, and the eyes of Wei Ran were filled with eagerness to try.

"Old Xiao, if you ask those centurions to lead the team, we can only watch?"

Zhu Ying seemed very dissatisfied with Xiao Zicheng's arrangement, and he was unwilling to miss the opportunity to be able to lead the army.

"You want to go, but no one stops you."

Zhu Ying was happy when he heard this. He immediately wanted to catch up with the crowd who was about to leave the school ground. Suddenly, he stopped and looked at Xiao Zicheng suspiciously:

"No, today you promised so readily, it must be a scam. Is there something good to hide and want to enjoy it alone?"

Xiao Zicheng smiled awkwardly. Since he was caught by Zhu Ying a few times, this guy has not been easy to fool.

"Ahem, it's nothing, it's just a new type of military ration that was tested before..."

"Yes! Why did I forget this?" Zhu Ying slapped his thigh suddenly, and he didn't care about the need to lead the troops. "No matter how late, let's take a look now."

Zhu Ying had long been curious about the thing Xiao Zicheng called canned. He didn't believe there was any way to keep the cooked food for months.

......

"Your Majesty, there is a barren mountain ahead."

Lu Bing trotted to the side of the carriage, clasped his fists and said.

Emperor Jingping lifted up the curtain of the car and looked at the neat house not far away. He was quite surprised.

According to Lu Bing's previous report, before Xiao Zicheng took over the barren mountain, Deng Jian always had a lot of shoes for this land that could not grow grain.

Except for a dilapidated cottage where the mountain guard lived, there was no tiles on the land.

How long has it been since then, not only was the houses so neatly built, but even the originally rugged and difficult mountain roads have been carefully built, with layers of bluestone slabs on them.

I really don’t know how Xiao Zicheng managed it, but in such a short time, it made the barren mountain look brand new.

"The car driver is waiting here, and the Beijing camp is stationed on the spot. Do not disturb the people because of this. All the people follow me on foot."

Suppressing his curiosity, Emperor Jingping slowly walked out of the carriage, wearing an ordinary Confucian shirt and a scarf.

The Duke of Zhao and others who came with him were all dressed in ordinary clothes, and they were all curious at this time, looking at the village not far away.

Emperor Jingping is not the kind of emperor who likes to go out to inspect the palace. On the one hand, he does not want to disturb the people, and on the other hand, he is busy with state affairs and cannot get rid of his life.

But I never thought that the emperor would be here today for Xiao Zicheng.

Among the ministers who followed him, only Lu Bing knew the truth. His Majesty was here to capture the prince back to the palace for Xiao Zicheng.

However, even if he knew the truth, he would not tell these court officials. After all, it was not a glorious thing for the prince to escape from the palace.

Emperor Jingping was obviously very interested and striding forward, which made Lu Bing sweat in a cold sweat. He quickly followed His Majesty, and looked around with twelve points of energy.

If His Majesty’s body is slightly damaged in the barren mountain, even if he has ten thousand heads, it is not enough to cut it.

Lu Bing was worried all the way, but fortunately he entered the village without any danger.

Although Emperor Jingping and his group were wearing casual clothes, they could have the demeanor they developed in high positions.

After a few steps, a villager came up to talk to him: "Dear guests, are you here to talk to your beloved about the coal stone business?"

Lu Bingru faced a great enemy and hurriedly protected Emperor Jingping behind him and said to himself:

"Where is Xiao Zicheng?"

The villagers put their hot faces on their cold butts, and they were a little unhappy at the moment and muttered in a low voice:

"It's so cool to talk about business, so we won't have to worry about selling coal and stone in the barren mountains."

Emperor Jingping heard it clearly, and as he walked slowly, the anger between his eyebrows gradually grew.

Emperor Jingping could not tolerate bullying and disturbing the people, so he couldn't help but snort coldly.

Lu Bing felt a chill when he heard the voice. His Majesty was a little displeased with his attitude just now.

He immediately changed his face and said to the villagers with kindness:

"We are not here to discuss business, we just ask Xiao Zicheng for important matters, so I hope my elder brother will inform you."

Seeing Lu Bing's attitude change, the villagers did not bother him anymore. After all, these people in front of him were either rich or noble at first glance:

"Two benefactors checked cans in the factory. If you want to find him, you can find him when you walk east and see a brick house."

"Can? What is that?"

Lu Bing heard such strange words for the first time, and he couldn't help asking curiously.

When I lifted the can, a trace of aftertaste appeared on the villager's face:

"I heard Erniu mention it before, and it seems to be a new type of military ration. I don't know much about it, but the taste of that thing is really good."

New military rations?

Emperor Jingping's eyes flashed and he couldn't help but speed up.

At the same time, in the factory.

Zhu Ying held an iron can and looked at it carefully, chewing the food in her mouth while vaguely saying:

"This is really amazing. There is really a way to keep food for so long without breaking."

Compared to Zhu Ying's excitement, Xiao Zicheng was a little unsatisfied.

Although canned food has been successfully developed, it is impossible to produce large-scale products based on the current iron smelting technology of Dazhou.

It seems that the production of glass is on the agenda...

Thinking of this, Xiao Zicheng looked up and saw several people coming in at the factory gate. He secretly scolded Wu Tian for being negligent. He had clearly ordered the idle people not to wait for it, but someone else came in.

"Who asked you to enter..."

Halfway through, when he saw the man in the leader clearly, Xiao Zicheng did not hesitate and immediately saluted:
Chapter completed!
