Wang Sanyi and Li Guoding looked at each other, and both of them understood the meaning of each other's eyes. Before they could reach the official hall, their ideas had roughly the same.

Wang Sanyi asked, "Is there any movement in your salt pond?"

"It's been a lot of days, but it's still at least ten days before it becomes brine. Baihu said this and it's still unhurried."

"Oh, we'll go and see later?"

"Both are elders who have passed by Baihuxin, of course they can go and see it." Min Yuanzhong smiled and said, "But I really can't see anything now. After ten days, the brine will be almost done. It will drain water from the salt pond to the Kan pond, push the stirring crystals, and shovel salt to pile up. It will look good at that time."

Min Yuanzhong's appearance is very interesting to call Wang Sanyi and Li Guoding. Although it was too early to make halogenated crystals, the small flag official in front of him was already full of confidence, unlike before, who were full of doubts and anxiety.

It is quite obvious that after Min Yuanqi led people to kill Yang Shida and Guan Er, his prestige had increased greatly, and no one would doubt his salt pool.

"Did Yuanqi say that it takes more than ten or twenty days to make salt and brine filtration, or is it hot, what is the salt output after that, and how much labor is required?"

"Administer said that it takes twenty days or even half a month to make the brine. The brine is then filtered to the Kanchi Cylinder. One acre of Kanchi Cylinder is sun-worn, and two thousand kilograms of salt can be produced a day. It takes seven or eight to ten people to constantly push and stir it in the middle of the night. Before dawn, use wooden shovels to shovel out to control the water. By the end of the evening, it is the best salt that can be sold. Ten people have at least two thousand kilograms per day. If one person has 200 kilograms per day and two thousand kilograms per day, we now have more than twenty Kanchi Cylinders, and more than 40,000 kilograms a day, and the manpower needs 200 to 300 people. It is almost enough for our hundred households to work. It is not advisable to go to the salt pond to work again. So now, adults are considering whether to recruit some people from the surrounding hundred households to come to the salt pond to do things. This is a very hard work. They all start after midnight and have to work until the morning hours before they can rest."

Wang Sanyi said: "Why do you have to do it in the middle of the night?"

"During the day, the Kan Pond needs to be used to blow the sun and dry the crystals. If you want to stir and push the salt, it will be delayed for a day. You can only do it in the middle of the night. It stops at midnight. If you blow the sun again, you can harvest it again at night. The large brine pool takes more than half a month for the first time. After a while, the sea water can be put into the pool. After time, it will be filtered into brine, and then put into the crystal pot. More than 2,000 kilograms of salt will come out every day. However, our hundreds of households say that this output is not good. Although the current market price is rising, it cannot keep up with the grain price. Especially in our Lianghuai, the salt price is difficult to increase. A stone of salt is sold at most five to six cents of silver, and each kilogram is worth four cents of copper coins, and the most expensive is seven to eight cents of gold.

The price of retail sale. I heard that Yongzhou salt in Hunan is expensive, and it can be sold for more than 30 cents per catty, but the waterways there are blocked, land transportation is difficult, and even salt is expensive. Although the salt price in Huguang is expensive, it is only about ten cents per catty. As for Yunnan and Guizhou, our salt cannot be reached at all. Although the price of salt is high, it has nothing to do with us. Based on five qian of one stone, 40,000 jin of 400 jin a day, and selling more than 200 taels of silver is a lot, which is equivalent to the income from our three months of salt decoction! But if we have to raise soldiers, make machinery, and have enough grain, it is still insufficient... If we have enough manpower, we have to continue to open a salt pond and Kan pond. It is not difficult for us to open more than a thousand Kan ponds in this piece..."

Wang Sanyi and Li Guoding were both stunned. According to Min Yuanqi's statement, if more than one thousand Kanchi pools were opened, what would this place look like? Twenty workers were employed 20 to 300 people, and thousands of Kanchi pools would probably require more than ten thousand people. This idea is really too bold and ahead of the way.

"The movement should not be too big for a while." Wang Sanyi said: "If we don't have that official position, not only our commanders and magistrates are coming to rob, but also local governments and guest soldiers, I'm afraid they won't be polite!"

"So we can drive up to a hundred Kanchi at most, which is the matter of several hundred households around us. There are more than hundreds of silver coins a day. The military officers of this guard may be moved, and the local governments and visiting soldiers should not be too concerned."

Only then did the two hundred households realize that Min Yuanzhong, a kind man, came to pick him up, and talked a lot along the way, and the angle and method of the conversation were refreshing. They listed numbers and talked about the different situations in different places. From training to salt-drying income, it was nothing more than Min Yuanqi's meaning.

Now the three hundred households have to be big, and radiate around, so everyone can be good. Min Yuanqi can train elite troops to protect the safety of this area, provided that everyone works together and the other hundred households will cooperate. At least the three households in front of him have six or seven hundred men, and there are more than a thousand men, and there are more than a thousand women who can do hard work and heavy life. If the three families cooperate, they can do the work of training and salt drying, and use the income from salt to raise soldiers and buy grain, so that this place can become a paradise. In this troubled world, Min Yuanzhong's words are simply a beautiful picture, and the persuasive power is too strong.

Having said that, everyone had already walked to the east of the village. There were also people on duty in the originally lively official hall of Baihu. There were tall warehouses, weapons and food storage here. The training ground had been moved to the east of the village. Everyone saw a high platform from afar. Min Yuanqi was listed above. Over the hundred flag soldiers were divided into more than ten teams. The knife players, long spearmen, short spearmen, boring handles were in their positions. The array was extremely strict, but the training time was not long. Many people were not very adaptable. When the array was rotating to meet the enemy, some flag soldiers could not keep up with the change of the queue and left the team. Once they found that someone was leaving the team, there were flag soldiers standing outside the field holding sticks and whipping, and then there was a miserable howling...

"Are you really fighting?" Li Guoding said in shock: "Are you the selected policing soldiers?"

"No." Min Yuanzhong said with a somewhat ugly expression: "Every small flags take turns to come out, standing in a mess of queues. If you can't keep up with the changing array, you will go forward and beat them. After a few times, you can remember that you will almost remember that everyone should master this array within a month of training. Not only the Yuanyang formation, but also the Xiaosan Talent formation, square formation, round formation, sharp formation... Practice strength in the morning, the golden drum flag and array, and practice knife cards, marksmanship, and boxing after lunch."

The two officials from hundreds of households looked at Min Yuanzhong and laughed in silence.

The way to take turns to beat people with sticks is really cramped. If you take turns to fight, you will be unwilling to accept it. When you take turns to fight back, you will be afraid that you will fight back twice as much. If you take turns to take turns, each flag team will not show mercy. If you make mistakes, you will be more careful when you get beaten. If you practice this way, the Golden Drum Array will be really good quickly!

Min Yuan set off a few flags on the platform, and the original column below changed rapidly. The rear row went to the front row, and the guns in the front row stood still with guns. However, after a few breaths, the original long column had become a horizontal formation.

This time, the spearman is in the middle, the knife card is in the middle or behind the spear, the short spear and the boring handle stand on the two wings, the three flag teams are one, and the other two are closely connected to the middle, but slightly behind.

"The three-stacked formation is not outside, and the two-story formations of surprises are not outside, and the two-story formations of the front Jiao are not outside. The narrow ground is only one, and the vast ground is only ten, hundred, thousand, and ten thousand! The narrow ground is only a team, and the vast ground is only a wing team, the leader, the slums are in the front of the enemy, and the upright side is nothing more than a square formation. The central army is in the center, the long spear is in the middle, the knife and card are placed in the front of the wings, and the bow and gunman are behind the formation, and the enemy is facing the enemy in all sides. The enemy comes to break through one stack, and then we will meet each other in the future. Everyone remembers their location, the enemy is in the formation, and the enemy is in the formation, and the enemy is coming with a gun, and I will welcome the enemy with a gun. When breaking the enemy, one stacks one stack, one round again, one round again, like a storm, and the formation is not successful, but not to be broken...Okay, continue to practice with your heart!"

After saying that, Min Yuanqi handed over the flag to Han Sen, and ordered the other party to continue to use the flag to order the teams to change their formations. He himself walked off the platform and faced Wang Sanyi and Li Guoding.

Li Guoding came forward and said, "Yuan Qi's reputation has spread throughout the Huai River recently, but he is not arrogant or impatient, and only knows how to train troops, which is admirable."

Wang Sanyi said: "Did Yuan Qi learn these methods of military training by his own family or did he understand them?"

Min Yuanqi smiled and said, "Recently, I have read military books or the old pond to report my income! For example, the most commonly used formation of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong, the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers used in the head, arranged a square array, and the long spear is in the center. The swords and cards are placed in the gun or behind the gun, and the archers are placed on both wings and behind the side, and the rangers are placed in front of the formation. The main force of cavalry is placed on the wings. Rangers are placed against the enemy rangers, the front formation is against the enemy front formation, and the two wings are defending the enemy cavalry side attacks, or our side sends cavalry formations to attack the enemy wings. If the training is done, the array is strict, the armor is strong, the soldiers are strong, and the soldiers are both fighting, then this formation is not at a disadvantage. However, our army's bow and arrows are not as good as the enemy cavalry, and the bow and arrow are changed to fire weapons, and it is not like Qi Shuai's extensive chariot formations, and they are very good at creating bird guns. The chariot formations are placed at intervals on the chariot formations. The soldiers usually practice the method, and when they encounter the enemy, they use the chariot camp to protect both sides of the wings, and the wheels are

In the attack, the enemy cavalry had no chance. Qi Shuai was a celestial being, and both against the Japanese and the enemy had their own methods. Later, when Liaozhen and Sichuan Army, Zhejiang soldiers were not good at fighting against the Donglu, the soldiers did not practice random attacks in the battle. Donglu was good at fighting formations and suppressed our Ming soldiers with bows and arrows, and even officers and soldiers defeated the enemy many times. In the battle of Hunhe, Zhejiang chariot camp was repeatedly attacked by the enemy cavalry. From this, it can be seen that no matter what formation is, the generals are the first priority, and the second training is the first, and the second training is the strong army, the chariot and horses are all complete. If the Trissiding Formation and the Seizing Dragon Formation or the Chekao Camp, Qi Shuai heavy defense and Yu Shuai heavy attack. My current practice is because I lack chariots and horses, bows, arrows, muskets and cavalry, so the heavy gun formation is the main force of fighting with swords and cards, and the three talent formation is mainly used for the three talent formation. The Trissiding Formation is the first practice, and the Cheka Camp formation or the Big Three talent formation, but there is no way to practice now."

When talking about training and formations, Min Yuanqi was so energetic that he was talking endlessly.

He has spent almost all his energy on training recently. From the battle of the Hefang battle, Min Yuanqi has gained some insights. The trained elite soldiers can completely destroy the mobs, but that battle is just against some rogue green skins. What if it is a real bandit, officers and soldiers, or even the Eight Banners soldiers?

Some things appeared faintly in Min Yuanqi's heart and could not be removed. He was like a naughty child who got his favorite toy and enjoyed it. He practiced military and martial arts and flag army. He did not think it was hard at all, but rather a pleasure!

The trained flag army also soared from more than 40 to 120, which happened to be ten flag teams, which was considered to have completed the original Baihu Banner Army.
Chapter completed!
