"Stand up, captains, get your soldiers in order. Are you itchy and want to be whipped?"

With a snap, Tian Qi waved the water-soaked rattan in his hand and threw it to the ground. Before the rattan hit the ground, it made a sound of tearing the air, which made the new soldiers feel awe-inspiring and did not even need the corps leader to form a team.

, everyone stood up straight.

"It's quite cool."

Tian Qi looked at the hundred and ten new soldiers with a military appearance in front of him, with a happy smile on his face.

The military training these days has still had some effect.

He took a few steps back, stood behind Zhao Yue, and shouted to the new soldiers in front of him: "This is the person you will be loyal to in the future. Your future master, why don't you come to see him?"

The new soldiers looked at Zhao Yue in front of Tian Qi, mostly sizing them up, but everyone already knew Zhao Yue's identity.

After all, this is the Tianshui Zhao family's manor by the Qingxi River, and there is only one young man in brocade clothes in this manor. This man is naturally the young master of the manor, and he is also the young commander in the mouth of the old soldiers.

"Meet the Young Marshal."

The new soldiers knelt down one by one, but looking at their raised heads and the eyes sizing up Zhao Yue, they did not look tame.

They were convinced of Tian Qi, but they didn't have much respect for Zhao Yue, who was about the same height as them and thinner than them.

Tian Qi was blind in one eye and wore an eyepatch. His huge body was as big as a hill. The sword scars on his body and his daily performance in the school field naturally convinced these new soldiers.

but...

What do you, Zhao Yue, have?

There is only one identity.

The identity of this young commander alone can only make them surrender on the surface, but cannot convince them from the bottom of their hearts.

Zhao Yue had already expected this kind of scene.

Tian Qi, on the other hand, didn't say anything, obviously leaving the stage to Zhao Yue.

"Pa bang bang~"

Zhao Yue clapped his hands, and immediately there were six old men, Zhuang Wei and others. They carried a box and placed it between Zhao Yue and the new soldiers.

Bang~

The three boxes fell to the ground with a clanging sound. It was obvious that the boxes were very heavy.

The eyes of the hundred or ten new soldiers were undoubtedly attracted by the three boxes in front of them.

Zhao Yue did not give them any clues.

"Open the box."

After a few creaks, the first iron box opened.

"Hiss~"

For a moment, the sound of gasping could be heard endlessly. The new recruits in front of them couldn't move their eyes away when they looked at the contents of the box.

"Money, so much money!"

That's right, these three boxes, each box contains a box of coins.

Dong Zhuo's "small coin" of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Wei's five-baht coin, and Shu Han's Taiping hundred gold coins.

Of course, most of them are still "Daquan Dangqian" cast during the period of Sun Quan.

These currencies are diverse, but there is no doubt that they have all caused inflation in various places.

Take "Daquan Dangqian" as an example. As a separatist regime south of the Yangtze River, Sun Wu also faced economic difficulties. The solution was to imitate the Shu Han regime and mint large-denomination currencies with lighter weights in order to enrich the treasury.

To meet military needs.

And it was a big step forward. When the Shu Han Dynasty was still minting "Zhibai" denomination currency, the Sun Wu regime had already minted the "Daquan Five Hundred" series, and later directly minted the "Daquan Dangqian" series.

However, Sun Quan and his staff did not have the concepts and knowledge of economics. The excessive currency soon led to extremely serious inflation within the Sun Wu regime and soaring prices.

Because these currencies with face values ​​of five hundred and one thousand were too large, their impact on the economy was far greater than the "Zhi Hundred" coins minted by the Shu Han Dynasty. It caused chaos in Soochow and the government's economic management was almost out of control.

The land in the south of the Yangtze River, once described by Zhou Yu as "casting mountains into copper, boiling seas into salt, and fertile territory", wanted to mint new money and even had to confiscate copper materials from the people. The extent of its economic collapse can be seen.

Even now, currency is still rarely used, and barter is the mainstream.

certainly...

It is quite shocking to put so many coins in one box.

Many people have never seen so many coins in their lives.

When the second box was opened, there was not only the sound of gasping for air, but also the sound of swallowing.

Gold!

gold!

That's right, the second box is full of gold cakes.

Under the sunlight, it shines with brilliant golden light, which also arouses people's endless desires.

If there wasn't a Zhuang Wei tribe on the field whose number was no less than those of the new soldiers, I'm afraid those new soldiers would have started to rob them.

"Open again."

The third box was opened. There was no jewelry inside, but as soon as it came out, the soldiers couldn't take their eyes away.

Armor.

Excellent armor!

A knowledgeable person would immediately recognize a pair of armor among them.

"This is Mingguang Armor!"

The name of the Mingguang Armor is related to the round guards on the chest and back. Because these round guards are mostly made of metals such as copper and iron, and the polished aurora looks like a mirror. When wearing the Mingguang Armor on the battlefield, due to the irradiation of the sun, the

It will emit a dazzling "bright light".

There are many styles of this kind of armor, and they vary in complexity and simplicity: some just add two round guards on the front and back on the basis of the crotch, some are equipped with shoulder pads, knee pads, and complex ones include several layers of shoulder pads. Body armor

Most of them reach to the hips and are tied around the waist with a belt.

The armor in the box was lifted up by two old soldiers. When everyone took a look, it was obvious that it was of the highest standard.

The densely packed iron sheets protected all the vital points of the body.

"Yes, but for those who are knowledgeable, this armor is called Mingguang Armor. When Wei Wu gave it to his ministers, he gave more Mingguang Armor as a gift. Wearing it on the battlefield, it undoubtedly saved a few more lives than those without armor."

"Young Marshal, what do you call the other armor?"

The other two old soldiers also stood up the second armor.

"This is the sleeve armor, this is the general's armor."

This armor is made of a chest and back piece of armor connected into one body, with a high round collar, iron sleeves of different lengths on the shoulders and hips, and a belt around the waist.

It is made of small pieces of fish scale pattern iron armor or turtle pattern iron armor pieces pierced into a cylindrical armor body, connected front and back. The shoulders are equipped with iron tube sleeve armor with shoulder pads, hence the name "tube sleeve armor".

It is said that a bow and arrow weighing sixty or seventy pounds cannot penetrate this sleeve armor.

Zhao Yue could clearly feel the desire for this armor in the eyes of these new soldiers.

They may also want gold and silver, but for something that can survive on the battlefield, there is no doubt that they have a more urgent need.

As the saying goes, if my neighbor collects grain, I will store guns, and my neighbor is my granary.

As long as you have armor and good weapons in your hands, are you worried about not having gold and silver?

"May I ask, young marshal, are these armors, gold and silver going to be given to us?"

"You dare to think."

Zhao Yue laughed loudly and said: "I put it here today. If you want to get it, it depends on whether you have real ability."

"Young Marshal wants to test our skills?"

Zhao Yue nodded lightly.

He took the hardwood bow from Zhao Zhong and said: "Shoot at the wood five feet away. Let's see who can shoot more. Whoever can beat me will be rewarded with 100,000 yuan, a gold cake, and a pair of armor. If you lose,

I’m also offering a reward of five thousand, what do you think?”

Compared with the young commander?

Everyone looked at Zhao Yue carefully, and this thought came to their minds:
Chapter completed!
