"Ronglu?"

With the famous post, Liu Shaoqing immediately knew who was coming.

After many plans, the preparation work is coming to an end. The first day of next month will be the beginning of school. Liu Shaoqing himself is a student of the school and also has a 'supervisory' job. And this Ronglu is the future 'general', and he is Liu Shaoqing's immediate boss.

"Secretary Liu Shaoqing, I have met Lord Rong, dear Lord. I don't know that Lord Gong is coming, and I have misfortune to welcome you. I hope you will forgive me."

When the boss came to visit him immediately, he naturally could not be as casual as he treated Huang Shihai and others just now. Liu Shaoqing changed into the official uniform and then came out to pay a visit.

Ronglu is an official. He knew that Liu Shaoqing was favored by the emperor and did not urge him. He immediately called him, "Hahaha... Lord Liu is polite. It was my official who came to disturb him. Please don't mind."

Liu Shaoqing hurriedly said, "You are polite. You should have been the one who was the one who came to visit you, but I shouldn't have come."

Ronglu said: "Hey... we brothers are officials in the same court, so we don't distinguish each other. Besides, in a few days, we are just brothers who are stirring a spoon in a rice cooker. Why do you say this? Come on, I will introduce you to two friends."

As he said that, he pulled Liu Shaoqing to the two people who came with him.

"This is the meeting of the Martial Arts School, Lord Yinchang..."

With Ronglu's introduction, Liu Shaoqing quickly met Yinchang. Then Ronglu introduced another person, "This is Master Zhou from the Ministry of War. He will also come to our martial arts school in the future and serve as the general manager. In the future, everyone will be close to each other."

Liu Shaoqing hurriedly said, "I have met Lord Yinchang and Lord Zhou."

The few people were polite again, and then they divided the guest and the host and the host to sit down. Then, the General Affairs Officer said, "I have received the order and said that Lord Liu will use the barracks of the Military Academy to train the Emperor Shenji Camp. I will add it as General Affairs Officer. I am worried that the Adults will have some needs, so I will ask."

Liu Shaoqing was overjoyed and said, "Mr. Zhou is really raining in time. I am worried and don't know how to handle it. I just arranged for the people below to go to Nanyuan to prepare, but Lord Zhou came by coincidence."

Zhou Chuanjing smiled and said, "Mr. Liu is polite. I wonder if Mr. has ever been to Nanyuan?"

Liu Shaoqing shook his head and said, "No, if it is convenient for you, I hope I can introduce it."

Zhou Chuanjing said: "Since that's the case, I'll just talk about it briefly. The camp of this martial arts school in Nanyuan was originally a barracks of the Xiaoqi Camp, covering an area of ​​about 1,000 acres. Because the emperor wanted to run the martial arts school, it was requisitioned and moved to the western suburbs of Xiaoqi Camp, and then it took half a year to renovate it."

"The school camp is surrounded by a square-shaped large earthen city, and two forts are built. The underground in the platform is hollowed out as a basement for storing ammunition. The wall is surrounded by trenches and water is diverted to form a moat. On the west and north, each with a battalion door, and a suspension bridge is set up. 500 tile houses are built, including guard rooms, number rooms, miscellaneous warehouses, offices, teaching rooms, instrument rooms, dining rooms, kitchens, barber rooms, bathrooms and student dormitories. There is a martial arts hall on the north, an ammunition armory, a light cylinder room and stables on the east, and a staff residence on the south."

"A large pool was dug in the southeast corner of the camp to lure the water from the Yongding River in to practice building military bridges. There is a small island in the center of the pool, and flowers and trees are planted on it, which is considered a place for all people to recreate. The wide grassland to the west is a large playground, which is very open and can accommodate 8,000 people to work together."

Liu Shaoqing nodded and then said, "I wonder if the quilts and other items are ready?"

Zhou Chuanjing said: "The Warehouse of the Ministry of War is for the quilts that need 1,500 people. I don't know if it is enough. As for other equipment, according to the emperor's wishes, it is necessary to wait for the school to start and be purchased according to the needs."

Liu Shaoqing thought for a while, "The Shenji Camp has more than 10,000 people, and one out of ten is about 1,000, and these preparations are enough."

Ronglu next to him said, "Otherwise, although the needs are barely enough now, the school will open in half a month, and hundreds of students will enter by then. Lord Zhou would better prepare these people's needs in advance."

Zhou Chuanjing nodded: "What the General Officer said is that the officials will submit a memorial tomorrow to handle this matter. I guess half a month should be enough."

Liu Shaoqing asked again: "I wonder if all the servile personnel have been recruited there?"

Zhou Chuanjing said: "The servants and others have already prepared them, but they are also reserved according to the Martial Preparation School. Now the emperor temporarily arranged the Shenji Camp to go there, and I am afraid that there will be some more to add."

Liu Shaoqing frowned and said, "Two days later, it will be when I bring people in. I wonder if it's time?"

Zhou Chuanjing smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lord Liu, there are some of the four nine cities that are fine. As long as we publish the list, we will be able to recruit people who are suitable for one day."

Liu Shaoqing was most worried about the three things: clothing, food and housing. Seeing that Zhou Chuanjing had already prepared, he felt a big stone in his heart.

Then the few people chatted about some gossip. Ronglu knew that Liu Shaoqing had an errand to do here, so he stayed it because he was inconvenient. He then made an appointment to see him again in a while, so he took Yinchang and Zhou Chuanjing to say goodbye.

After seeing these three people off, it was already dark, and Liu Shaoqing was not in a hurry to go back to the study. He first ordered to prepare supper. After eating it, he was ready to do things with peace of mind.

Two days passed in a flash. On the 16th day, Guan Qi got up early one morning, stretched his body in the yard and was about to sweat. Then he entered the house, carefully combed his hair, shaved his face, and washed up. After he was well served, he ate a full meal under the service of his wife, changed into a clean jacket, put on the new shoes he had originally planned to wear during the New Year, and then left the door.

It was bright in winter and the stars were still hanging in the sky. Guan Qi took advantage of the faint morning light to leave the Mutton Alley, walked along Huashi Street to Chongwenmen, then followed the main road to the north, quickly walked to the Cyborg Alley, and then turned west, and within a few steps, he arrived at the Shenjiying Schoolyard.

Guan Qi was tall and had big steps. He walked along the way too fast. In addition, he got up early and thought he had arrived early, but he didn't expect that he only realized that someone had been waiting in the school grounds.

Guan Qi felt strange. It was not the first time that the old men from Shenji Camp hired someone to come to Mao. He had come here himself. Although Li De said solemnly, Guan Qi did not have an intuitive feeling. Although Guan Qi got up early in the morning after being entrusted by someone to be loyal to others, it was not until he saw those who came earlier than him that he realized that he might have taken this matter lightly.

At the door, he stopped someone and asked, "Brother, what's going on? So many people have come before the time has come?"

The person who was stopped was a little impatient, and reached out and pulled his hand and wanted to walk in. Then, Guan Qi was tall and strong. He didn't pull it. The man looked at the strong man in front of him, probably because he measured it in his heart, and felt that he might not be able to do anything to him, so he barely stopped. "What, don't you know? The schoolyard is opening at the Mao hour today, so I will give two quarters of an hour to enter. At the Mao hour two, the camp gate will be closed, and no one can think of entering at that time."

As he said that, he threw a wink at the guard at the door, "Didn't you see that the guards at the door have changed? These southern barbarians were brought by that little man from Guangnan. If you don't have any other skills, you can kill people. Now if they change the door, do you know why everyone comes so early. If you are late, you can't come in."

Guan Qi suddenly realized that no wonder he remembered that day, Mr. Qian seemed to have mentioned that it was Mao Shizheng. He hurriedly bowed to the man, "Thank you, brother. I have the chance to drink together in the future."

The man also bowed his hand, "Don't you dare, don't you ask the eldest brother for your surname?"

Guan Qi said: "I dare not take it, so I will avoid your surname Guan, Guan Qi. Brother is..."

The man said, "Xiao's surname Zhang, Zhang Yaowu." After that, the man stretched out his head and looked around, then lowered his voice and said, "Brother Guan is here to earn money, right? Are you a Manchu Han?"

Guan Qi also lowered his voice, "Everyone, I am from XHQ, where are you."

Zhang Yaowu said: "I am a Han Chinese. Hi, I just want to make a living. Brother Guan, you can take care of me, don't show it to me."

Guan Qi smiled and said, "How can it be? Brother, you came early enough, where do you live?"

Zhang Yaowu curled his lips, "It's true that I live outside the city. In order not to delay trouble, I went into the city last night. Don't look at me, tell you, there are many people like me."

The two of them chatted at the door for a few words, and it was almost dawn and more and more people came. Zhang Yaowu pulled Guan Qi: "I said, brother, let's stop chatting here, hurry up and go in, don't be in the queue when you look back."

Guan Qi looked around and said, "Yes, why do you think there are so many people?"

For Guan Qi, every time he adds one person, it means adding a competitor, so he hopes that the fewer people, the better. But for Liu Shaoqing, there are still too few people in front of him.

The Eight Banners of Manchuria in the capital have a population of hundreds of thousands. If the elderly, weak, women and children are out of the old, weak, and young and middle-aged people, there are 40,000 to 50,000. Well, the schoolyard of Shenji Camp cannot accommodate so many people, and not all young and strong people are going to join the army, but there should be ten thousand people. After all, there are more than 10,000 soldiers registered in Shenji Camp.

But how many people are there? Are there five thousand people?

This shows that at least two-thirds of the sergeants registered in the entire Shenji Camp were not present. This was the result of the emperor's personal endorsement.

Thinking of this, Liu Shaoqing subconsciously shook his head. He was still too greedy. It was good to have 5,000 people. After screening, I don’t know if half of them can be left. In fact, if there are too many people, it is not necessarily a good thing for him. After all, the personal guards he brought to Beijing this time are limited. If there are too many people, training in the future will be a troublesome thing.

People are still pouring in, but there is not much time left. Judging from this, it would be nice to have up to 8,000 people at most. I just don’t know how many people will be left after a while.
