After returning, Li Yu lay on the bed and tossed and turned around and considered in the middle of the night, but he didn't decide what products to produce. He still had no idea when he woke up in the morning, so he went around the river not far from the other courtyard, but in the end he still didn't think of a suitable product.

When there was no choice, I saw the newly recruited refugees heading towards the valley. Li Yu also wanted to see how soldiers were trained in this era.

Thinking of this, Li Yu followed the refugee team to the valley.

The large number of refugees recruited during this period are currently hidden in this huge valley. Once you enter the valley, you can see the refugees recruited a few days ago. Most of the refugees recruited were elderly and weak and women. They were doing some miscellaneous work in the valley, building houses and paving roads, etc. When they saw another group of refugees coming in, they looked curious from time to time.

A simple schoolyard was built in the center of the valley. At this time, more than a thousand young people were divided into multiple queues to train on the newly repaired schoolyard. Maybe they had changed from refugees to current soldiers, and everyone was excited and curious.

Although it was already summer, the morning in the valley was still a little cold, but they were still laughing and talking nonstop in the queue. Some of these people were private soldiers raised by the Li family, and most of them were refugees. Of course, their current identities were all soldiers under Li Xiuning.

Li Yu saw at first glance that all the young refugees in the school were standing crookedly and tilted, even the private soldiers raised by the Li family were the same.

He felt that the soldiers who had not been strictly trained were just mobs. Li Yu stood there and shook his head, not optimistic about the future combat effectiveness of these soldiers.

Li Xiuning stood not far away and was also watching the soldiers training in the school grounds. She happened to see Li Yu shaking her head, which made her feel very strange. Is it difficult for Li Yu, a scholar, to know how to march and fight?

Thinking of this, Li Xiuning walked over in confusion.

Li Xiuning came to a place not far from Li Yu and asked with a smile: "Mr. Li, how do you see these soldiers I recruit?"

"The crowd!" Li Yu only said four words.

"What is not a mob? Let's listen." Li Xiuning was even more curious when he saw Li Yu's seriousness. She wondered whether this scholar still understood the art of war?

"The art of war has said that when starting a large formation, facing a great enemy, a thousand people lined up in a dignified formation. The brave ones should not be ahead, and the timid ones should not be behind. The guns are poked and the guns are poked away. The troops are only like one person, so they can be invincible in the world." Li Yu's body shook.

After hearing Li Yu's words, Li Xiuning felt it made sense, but why hadn't he heard of these military books? He had been familiar with various military tactics, but he just didn't know that the military tactics had written such words.

Li Xiuning thought for a moment but didn't expect to look at Li Yu with a puzzled look: "This is written by the military book, why haven't I read it?"

Li Yu was stunned and remembered that this was "The Record of Military Training" written by Qi Jiguang of the Ming Dynasty. It took hundreds of years before this book was published.

"This! This is the two military books I saw when I was dreaming at night, dreaming about the past few hundred years." Li Yu simply started talking nonsense.

Since ancient people believed in ghosts and gods and dreams, Li Xiuning did not doubt anything about Li Yu's nonsense.

"Hey! Could it be that God helped us and deliberately gave you a dream?" Li Xiuning asked in confusion after hearing Li Yu's nonsense.

"Well! I dreamed that I read two military books, one of which I can't remember clearly," Li Yu finished speaking. After talking about the general content in the book.

Li Yuyi talked about the general content in the book, which forced Li Xiuning to believe it because the military strategy and training methods in the book were too reasonable. She has liked military strategy since she was a child and was very familiar with combat formation training.

"Li Yu, I will give you three hundred people. Follow your dream military tactics for a while and see how the effect is?" Li Xiuning decided to give it a try. If it succeeds, she can be used as a blueprint for her own army.

Li Yu thought for a while before saying, "There are too many three hundred people. I can't train alone, so just one hundred people. Two months later, you can see the results. It's done. How about you use these hundred people as instructors and then lead other soldiers?"

Li Xiuning nodded quickly: "Okay! We have a decision, and I will give you a hundred people. I hope your training will not disappoint me."

Li Yu curled his lips, thinking that training soldiers according to the standards of later generations would scare you just by striking the queue. However, in ancient times, combat could not be copied from later generations. After all, it was a hot weapon, and now it is still the era of cold weapons, but all soldiers must start from the most basic queue. A strict queue and strict discipline have always been very important. Those who can maintain a strict battle formation are tigers and wolves. Without a queue and without strict discipline, they are mobs.

"Okay! Two months later, you can see the effect. I hope you won't be scared by then." Li Yu smiled. He is also very much looking forward to the combat effectiveness of the soldiers trained by later generations.

"Puff!"

After hearing Li Yu's words, Li Xiuning couldn't help laughing: "I hope you can really scare me then."

After laughing, he shouted, "Xue Xingping, come here, you can find a hundred people immediately. If Mr. Li personally trains you, whatever he says will be what he says. If I hear you don't listen to the order, I will be killed and unpardoned."

Xue Xingping hurried over after hearing Li Xiuning's words, and promised: "It's a lady, I will never violate it if Mr. Li says anything in the future."

In a short while, Xue Xingping ordered a hundred people.

Li Yu began to divide the hundred people into ten teams, each with ten people. Xue Xingping selected ten team leaders and each led one team. Xue Xingping was his deputy.

After everyone's team stood up, Xue Xingping also stood beside Li Yu.

After looking at the hundred people, Li Yu said solemnly: "Today I will recruit you one hundred people, and I will personally train your battle formation skills in the future. Now the war is in chaos and the world is not peaceful. Most of you are refugees. You know better than me that the miserable days of refugees. Next, you must train well, so that you can protect your wife and children's family in the future and not become refugees again..."

Li Yu looked serious and said sensational words. After hearing this, the soldiers below subconsciously stood up straight. Xue Xingping beside Li Yu also had a serious face.

Li Xiuning, who stood not far away, nodded with satisfaction. Not to mention whether the training was good or not, just these sensational words would make people feel that if he didn't go to train well, he would feel as if he was sorry for his wife and family.

After the training, Li Yu first asked them to learn to stand in line, turn left and right, walk and run together, etc. The hundred soldiers were curious at first, but then they became a mess.

The queue was terrible, and the team was in a mess. These people couldn't even tell the difference between the left and right. In this case, the refugee soldiers were no longer the same, even the private soldiers found by Xue Xingping. After an hour, the soldiers were trained by Li Yu's new training methods, and they felt more tired than doing a day's work.

Li Yu was not in a hurry. After all, these people in this era were basically illiterate, and it was normal for them to understand slowly. When he went to college in later generations, he was not much better than them in the early stages.

After training until the meal started, it still did not improve. Li Yu asked them to disband and have dinner.

While eating, Li Yu discovered a strange phenomenon. Several soldiers took a sip of corn and licked it in their mouths while eating. He walked over and asked curiously.

Li Yu looked at the recruits: "You are drinking and licking the things in your hands. What is that?"

The soldier looked up and saw that it was Li Yu, and quickly stood up to explain.

"So it's Mr. Li! I just licked salt, but if I didn't replenish some salt, I would be bored when I marched and walked."

After saying that, he stretched out his hand and let Li Yu see it.

I saw a green and yellow crystal the size of a pigeon egg appearing in the soldier's hand.

"This is salt! Stop eating it. The salt in your hand has not been purified at all, and this salt is a poisonous salt." After seeing the color of the salt in the soldier's hand, Li Yu immediately knew that the salt contained a lot of toxic substances, so he quickly stopped him from using it again.

The soldier waved his hand and said, "Young Master Li, you can't say that. This was the last time I made a contribution. Miss rewarded me. You see, they haven't even had them yet."

"How do they replant salt?" Li Yu asked very strangely. This good salt is like this. How do those soldiers without salt rely on to replenish salt?

"Haha! They relied on vinegar cloth to replenish their salt." The soldier looked at the salt in his hand, then the vinegar cloth they used, and explained with a proud smile.

"Vital cloth? What's that? Can it be eaten?" Li Yu's brows unconsciously slapped a few times.

A soldier next to him quickly pulled out a vinegar cloth and handed it to Li Yu.

When I saw this vinegar cloth, it was like kelp that was not dried, and it exuded a stinky sour smell.

"You can eat this thing too, my god! I saw a salt mine by the river just now, why don't you dig those salt mines?" Li Yu looked puzzled after seeing the vinegar cloth in the soldier's hand.

"I know there is a salt mine by the river. It is poisonous salt. I can't eat it. After eating that salt, my stomach will be killed by people, let alone if I eat it, my whole body will turn purple." Uncle Fu explained as he walked.

Li Yu was soft on his forehead, and he was a little helpless about the ignorance of chemical knowledge by the ancients: "Fu Bo, how can the salt in the salt mine be eaten directly? It has to be crushed, dissolved, filtered, and detoxified. The salt that is finally crystallized is the salt that people eat."

As soon as Li Yu finished explaining, his expression became serious.

"It's right to eat salt, but you can even eat the impurities of nitrate, phosphorus, and potassium in the salt mine together. If you eat salt, you may be able to slap for a while. If you eat too much phosphorus and potassium, it's strange that your whole body will not become purple. Others are supplementing calcium and zinc. I have never seen anyone supplementing nitrate, phosphorus, and potassium."

Uncle Fu ignored Li Yu's blame at all, and he couldn't understand chemistry knowledge. Because during this period, wonderful words often popped up in his mouth, so Uncle Fu has long been used to it. What he is concerned about now is that Li Yu can turn salt into edible salt.
