Zhu Cilang was flipping through the report sent below.

He put a large desk in the staff room where he served the first department, and worked directly here when he was busy with official duties. He also supervised the staff of the first department. These people were found by Wu Weiye from the juren and supervisors who stayed in Beijing, as well as some scholars with high levels.

These people have a slightly higher cultural level than the eunuchs in Nei Shutang, so they stayed by their side to write articles. When the guards generally passed the 500-word test, they had to replace these higher-level teachers to teach grammar and classics. Of course, they mainly include military classics such as "The Art of War", "The New Book of Ji Xiao", "The Practical Records of Military Training", and "Thirty-Six Strategies".

At the beginning, these people who didn’t even have an official position were shocked when they saw the prince. After a few days, they found that although the prince spoke coldly, his requirements were clear and not difficult to serve. Then they gradually got used to working with the prince in the same study room.

"Your Highness, these soldiers just queue up, turn, walk, and run around every day. How can they become war-going people?" Wu Weiye was very disdainful of Zhu Cilang's calligraphy. In his opinion, at least he should practice swords and guns, shoot arrows to attract fire, and hold up stone locks.

Zhu Cixuan reviewed the various copywriting written by a subject and sent it to various government offices in the capital, saying casually: "If you don't understand, just look at it."

Liu Ruoyu copied the information from Da Nei on the table beside him. When he heard the conversation between the two, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but slid slightly.

"It has only been a few days since the new guards were trained, and it has been banned. It can be seen that the energy efficiency of Your Highness's "Caodian" is not inferior to that of famous generals in ancient and modern times." Zhou Jing stepped forward to speak for Zhu Cixuan, and at the same time flattered him.

Wu Weiye did not understand military affairs, but looking at these new recruits, they had to line up wherever they went, with neat steps, which was indeed very different from the appearance of the refugees when they first came. He was discouraged for a moment and did not dare to talk about training more in front of the prince. Although he believed that he had read two military books, he lacked confidence compared to the prince who wrote the military books himself.

"Your Highness," Zhou Jing said again, "Now the practice has just improved. Are there any people who will do those chores?"

Zhu Cilang shook his head and sent these soldiers to see the colorful world of the capital. One is to let them not be timid, and the other is to try their character. Although Zhu Cilang does not expect to be able to train a benevolent and righteous teacher who "do not take the people one needle and one thread" in this era, he does not want to bring out the local dogs who are fascinated as soon as they enter the city.

What's more, even if someone is greedy now, it's just a few dollars and half taels of silver. If you don't get a vaccination in advance, you may have to suffer a greater loss in the future.

And since I was recruiting East Palace guards under the banner of epidemic prevention, I had to let them go out and show their faces and recognize the way.

"Go to the training room and ask Xiao Mo to prepare the physical test information." Zhu Cixuan slightly closed the work in his hand, took a red pen and made a brief instruction, stood up and walked out.

Liu Ruoyu followed unwillingly. Zhou Jing fell one step behind and could only follow Liu Ruoyu. Wu Weiye was reserved and slow to react, so he had to follow the third place, feeling unwilling.

The eunuch who was passing the message easily found Xiao Mo and told the prince that he would come over to ask about the physical examination. Xiao Mo did not dare to neglect, so he checked the physical examination report of the five thousand people in the training room to ensure that the results were summarized and there were no mistakes. Then he waited for the prince to arrive at the door.

This was the first physical fitness test for the recruits. In order to accurately show their results, Zhu Cixuan even went back to the palace to ask for a Western clock.

It is a domestic Western clock.

The first time the Western-style clock entered the horizons of Chinese literati was in the tenth year of Wanli. It was presented by Jesuit missionaries to Chen Rui, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi Military Affairs and the governor of Guangdong. In the 29th year of Wanli, Matteo Ricci met Emperor Shenzong and received hospitality. He paid tribute to a self-ringing bell, wrapped in wood outside to depict dragons and phoenixes. The bell rings four times an hour, and the plate is a regular character of one to twelve, which is no longer much different from the clocks in later generations.

Emperor Shenzong liked this big bell very much, and Zhu Cixuan had only seen it several times in the palace. However, he was not very interested in it because it was weak in practicality and was inconvenient to move. In contrast, the Taiwan bell that paid tribute to Shanghai during the Chongzhen period was much better. It had gears inside, and the daily error was not large, so it was also convenient to move.

Although Nanjing and Suzhou now have their own watchmakers, Shanghai, as the first area to come into contact with Thai watches, is still ahead of Jiangnan. To be more precise, the Xu family is mastering this high-end technology.

With the clock placed on the table, the physical fitness test of the recruits can be quantified. Especially for the running subject, if there is no absolute time measurement, it is impossible to rank 5,000 people.

Zhu Cixuan came to the training room and signaled Xiao Mo to follow up. He sat behind the desk and opened the physical test score report on the table. Not only were there running, but there were also common track and field subjects such as sit-ups, pull-ups, shot put, and long jump. He slightly converted it in his mind and found that the physical fitness of these recruits generally exceeded the standards for college students' sports meeting in five hundred years later. He was happy and regretful...

Under the current nutritional conditions, if you want to meet the physical fitness standards of future college students, you can only do it by sacrificing the duration of labor. These surprising achievements are all at the cost of accelerating aging. Most of them may lose their ability to work after the age of 35.

"Good grades," the prince closed the book lightly, "Tian Cunshan."

"I am here." Tian Cunshan finally found the opportunity to emerge and hurried forward.

"From today, the food standard for recruits will be increased by two taels of rice per person per day, plus one egg."

Tian Cunshan slid his Adam's apple and said, "Abide by the order."

"Eggs should be cooked with shells to ensure that everyone gets complete eggs." Zhu Cixuan reminded.

"Yes, Your Highness." Tian Cunshan said intently: How dare I greedy for those old men's rations...

All the old people in the East Palace thought that these newcomers were old men, but these new recruits who were often beaten did not have the awareness of being old men. They always simply believed that the prince treated them very well. As for those who beat and scolded, they were all the personal behaviors of the Jinyiwei and the eunuch.

In fact, strict requirements must be required in the training ground, which is what the prince repeatedly emphasized.

Zhu Cixuan then leaned on the back of the chair and asked Xiao Mo: "How are your grades?"

"I am not talented in my position, and I am ranked first in all the items, and the total score is second." Xiao Mo said.

The Han generals were basically all the students of generals. They were well-trained, well-nourished, and had the advantage of their figure. Compared with a group of new recruits who had just had a few days of full meals, they could be regarded as crushing. Xiao Mo was even the leader among them. In recent years, he was quite famous in the camp because of his good sects.

"Oh? Who is more above you?" Zhu Cixuan said with a smile.

"It's Tanning, and it's also from an old guard." Xiao Mo said.

"Tanning..." Zhu Cixuan opened the book and found that the person ranked first in the total score was a man with a number 2009. It should be the general of the Han Dynasty who joined the military training after Xiao Mo. After carefully looking at Tanning's results, Zhu Cixuan pointed to a shot put and said, "This person threw the shot put far away, come to him."
