Your Majesty, please beg for mercy. The prince's rebellion was successful.

Within Xiang County.

A piece of peace.

With the support of the Su family's large amount of silver, the scale of the paper mill and salt factory is growing at an extremely fast rate.

At the same time, Zhou Zheng also handed over the management rights of salt to the Su family for the first time.

After all, the Su family could no longer withstand the pressure of the three major aristocratic families in the Zhou Dynasty, and basically hunkered down in Xiang County.

With many business experts from the Su family, the problem of salt distribution will naturally be solved.

However, Zhou Zheng also knew the current difficulties of the Su family and proposed a way to make a profit.

The sales price of instant salt remains unchanged, but the Su family can get four points of the 10% profit.

Su Ming was extremely grateful for this.

Although it costs four points, salt is a necessity and a steady source of profit.

Even if you put aside the labor cost, it is still a considerable number.

Of course, compared with the tens of millions of taels of silver that the Su family used to support Zhou Zheng, this sum is still dwarfed and far from enough.

But Su Ming is also an understanding person.

This is the beginning. If Zhou Zheng can ascend to the unified position in the future, the salt management rights they have by then will not be just a mere Xiang County!

Thinking of this, Su Ming's heart became hot.

Even if the Su family not only does not want the remaining four points, but also gives part of it to the court, he will be happy.

However, Xiangjun is still facing many problems.

For example, grain seeds, grain, oil, cloth, etc.

Zhou Zheng can only take one step to see these things.

One step away.

The most critical thing right now is the training of new recruits.

During this time, Zhou Zheng mostly went to the mountains to personally supervise the speed of training of new recruits.

Zhou Zheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that these recruits were becoming more and more mature under Xiao Guan's training, and the energy in their bodies became more and more obvious.

"Now the new recruits and veterans have completed their adjustment."

"After three months, I have enough confidence to make them a truly elite team."

Looking at the more than 10,000 soldiers training neatly below, the pride on Xiao Guan's face was undisguised.

Since losing his legs, Xiao Guan has almost been in a chaotic self-collapse, until he met Zhou Zheng, until he led the troops this time.

He found his own value, found the courage to live again, and found a way to realize his ideals in life!

"not enough."

However, Zhou Zheng raised his eyebrows and shook his head.

"not enough!?"

Xiao Guan never doubted that the recruit in his eyes had almost perfect scores. He thought Zhou Zheng would praise him generously, but he didn't expect such a result.

If it had been anyone else, Xiao Guan would have attacked him directly.

After all, as a former champion, he was famous all over the world for marching and fighting, so he was naturally good at training.

Who dares to point him out so easily! ?

But for Zhou Zheng, Xiao Guan was different.

That set of so-called scientific military training methods was indeed better than he imagined.

In just over a month, their physical fitness has been greatly improved.

Therefore, when Zhou Zheng said it was not enough, Xiao Guan was not angry, but became more eager to learn.

"What's not enough!?"

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Guan asked seriously.

He was never careless about this kind of thing.

"They're missing two things."

Zhou Zheng looked away from the tens of thousands of soldiers below and spoke in a deep voice.

"What two!?"

Xiao Guan asked quickly.

"First, it's equipment."

A true elite is not only powerful in combat, but also has equipment that is crucial.

Good equipment is enough to increase its combat effectiveness by several percent.

And this also became the key to victory.

Why the Cang Yan Iron Cavalry of the Great Yuan Dynasty was able to sweep across the grasslands was not only because of their bravery, but also because they were armed to the teeth with equipment!

Most of the soldiers and generals of the Zhou Dynasty did not even have complete armor.

When soldiers charge, most of them are hand-to-hand combat.

As a result, no matter how strong the combat effectiveness is, it will be difficult to sustain!

If there are more than 10,000 people at present, if they are equipped with sophisticated equipment, their combat effectiveness will definitely be even higher.

Xiao Guan was deeply impressed by this and kept nodding his head.

In the past, it might not have been easy if the entire army was well-equipped, but Xiao Guan knew that Zhou Zheng was rich now, and it was not impossible to equip more than 10,000 people.

Once these people wear armor, how powerful they are!

Thinking of this, Xiao Guan's blood boiled in his heart.

After hearing Xiao Guan's words, Zhou Zheng didn't say anything.

What he wants is well-equipped, not just the so-called armor and long swords!

But to upgrade both the armor and the sword to one or even several levels!

If it were before, it would not be easy for Zhou Zheng to realize such an idea.

But now, the Mo family has appeared and is willing to help Zhou Zheng.

In this case, Zhou Zheng will have real confidence!

"What's more?!"

Seeing that Zhou Zheng didn't speak, Xiao Guan curiously asked the second point.

"Lack of murderous intent!"

Just three words, Xiao Guan was stunned on the spot.

Only then did he notice that although this elite group was powerful and extremely brave, it lacked a sense of killing.

This kind of chilling feeling is not a real external existence, but a feeling!

An aura that is enough to intimidate the enemy just by standing there!

Veterans have experienced many life-and-death battles, especially the counter-insurgency battles in the Northern Territory and Xiang County. Most veterans have seen blood and killed people!

If they stand still, they will strike fear into their enemies.

But recruits are different!

They have never killed anyone, and some of them have never even seen blood!

What kind of chilling are you talking about? !

"On the battlefield, there are no immortals."

Zhou Zheng closed his eyes slightly and spoke softly.

After hearing this, Xiao Guan's expression became more serious.

On the battlefield, the competition is not just about fighting skills, nor just equipment, but also about one word, ruthless!

If you have never seen blood, if you have never killed anyone, how can you be so ruthless as the other party? !

At this moment, when Xiao Guan looked at Zhou Zheng, the admiration in his eyes became even stronger!

Unexpectedly, the biggest drawback of this new army can be seen at a glance.

"However, this killing intention is not easy..."

If equipment can be solved with money, then this sense of chilling cannot be solved with money.

Thinking of this, Xiao Guan also smiled bitterly.

This is why it has been extremely difficult for elite teachers to appear since ancient times.

Because conditions don’t allow it.

Only after many life and death battles can it be possible to train this kind of killing intent.

"Leave it to me, uncle."

Just when Xiao Guan was dejected, Zhou Zheng's eyes flashed coldly.

Such an expression made Xiao Guan's heart skip a beat.

He knew that Zhou Zheng was preparing to kill someone!

But who to kill? !

"Boss, boss!"

Before Zhou Ping could continue to ask, Zhou Ping's voice came from afar.

Then he rushed towards Zhou Zheng panting.

"Um?!"

Zhou Zheng obviously did not expect Zhou Ping to appear at this time, but a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
