These things... how can I put it, all the guests don't know what they are for.

  Zhao Xi was indeed very familiar, but his identity was not suitable for public demonstration. In fact, he didn't want the officials in the imperial court to think that he had a military inclination... which would be even more inappropriate.

  The guards were also familiar with the teachings, after all, they would be testing the soldiers in the future, so they had to be familiar with them. But one by one, they were busy and stumbled over each other, how could they think of accompanying the prince like a host?

  The remaining... are Wang Zhongzheng and Li Xian.

  These two people are not included in the guard team's quota, but they seem to be destined for the guard team. No one has any objections about this.

  Wang Zhongzheng and Li Xian, after getting permission, walked with... in front of the officials and the public, they really couldn't shake off the feeling of being disowned by their own family, still with their heads hung low.

  "Blanket?"

  Alright, these two fools are showing off, directly taking everything apart and doing a complete demonstration. After finishing dressing up, at least they straightened their backs, this is what the prince had instructed, saying that they couldn't humiliate this set of clothes.

  It also makes it clear what that square thing is.

  It's actually a duvet, or perhaps sleeping bag is more suitable.

  Zhao Xi used oilcloth for the surface, hemp cloth for the lining, and filled in between with old hemp cloth that had been torn apart into silk threads and cut into small pieces... He remembered that people in later generations who were everywhere with quilts and mattresses did it this way.

  Then it became a slightly larger oilcloth bag, thick and even on rainy days with wet ground, casually laid out on the ground, crawling inside was no different from the bed board at home.

  "Your Highness, why is your leg bound?"

  "Sir, this matter can be explained to you. The soldiers have been marching for days on end, and their blood circulation has all sunk into their legs and feet. In severe cases, this can lead to the development of festering sores."

  "Your Highness's method of binding legs can prevent blood from accumulating in the legs and feet, which would be damaged due to long-distance marching."

  Cao Yi's birth and experience made him think of the benefits of this leg-binding method. This was also the result of Cao Lin reporting back to him every night.

  He didn't say this just to let the officials in the imperial court hear it, he hoped that the method of binding legs would not be limited to the Crown Prince's guard.

  Zhao Xi also thought so... looking at the expressions of these people in the imperial court, it's likely that there will still be a wait.

  They're just curious, if you think otherwise, it's just your own imagination. Their interest in tables and chairs is clearly greater than that of gaiters and oilcloth sleeping bags.

  Is military preparedness being proposed? The remnants of the Qingli New Deal have just been eliminated, who would propose this matter?

  "What does this thing mean?"

  Looking at Wang Zhongzheng and Li Xian crossing in front of their chest, bulging, piece by piece cloth bags... still novel.

  "This is where we store dry provisions."

  Cao Yi lost interest in talking about it, and just now, he knew that no matter how much he said, it was useless.

  Wang Zhongzheng only said one sentence, and it was enough to clarify the purpose. As for placing cookies, if a single soldier can carry half a month's worth of supplies, he didn't have the qualifications to explain.

  Zhao Xi's laziness is beyond words, especially the attitude of this group towards binding legs... they don't care about the lives of soldiers at all, and it's estimated that starving to death is also deserved, what can be said?

  Forget it, I won't even bother with the training demonstration I had prepared.

  It's not sulking, but he feels it's not the right time yet, or rather, his emphasis on military affairs for a period of time has put the imperial court on high alert.

  No rush, he has plenty of time.

  When the officials participating in today's recruitment ceremony took their seats, all the staff members were in their positions... Although many people wanted to stay longer, they could not affect the progress of the entire recruitment.

  Haven't you seen that the officials and masters have already taken their seats?

  It's already around 7-9 am, and it's time for the soldiers to enter the field.

  Before entering the court, the instructors were accompanied by the Imperial Censor and the Imperial City Guard, wearing a particularly eye-catching attire, which was easy to distinguish.

  The commander shouted orders, regardless of whether nearly ten thousand people could hear clearly or not.

  Line up in four rows and enter in order. Each person will be given a number plate when entering, and after going in, there is no name, only the number plate. After all assessments are completed, the instructor will announce the list of selected candidates based on the correspondence between the number plate and the name.

  As today's recruitment cannot be completed, those who were unable to participate in the selection process today can stay overnight at the guard camp with full board and lodging.

  Tens of thousands of people! Not all of them have a military background, if it weren't for the Imperial Court's application to maintain order in front of the temple, who knows what kind of chaos would ensue.

  Other projects can be grouped, but the pre-project of ten miles is a must for everyone to gather together.

  So, it also made those who sit in government offices all day see a scene of tens of thousands of people and horses with no boundaries or edges.

  It's just that this selection of soldiers is too weak.

  It's really time-consuming and boring, especially when watching a group of people running around in circles. For this group of literati, it's truly uninteresting.

  The key is that it's not just one wave, but many waves... Nearly 10,000 people, definitely can't be piled up all at once.

  "It is not necessary for many recruits to gather in the capital, let alone military prefectures, even lower counties can also be recruited..."

  The yin and yang adjustment has begun. Zhao Xi suddenly overlooked this point... The more shocking the Imperial Guard's camp is, the more it will lead to the vigilance of all civil officials.

  This is not the case, and the yin-yang words have come out, but none of the masters have any different colors. This group of people, just a little embarrassed for Lao Die.

  "Silence is golden!"

  Lü Gong has time to accompany guests now.

  No matter how others felt, he didn't like hearing it. In his position, he had thoroughly studied the tens of thousands of words written by the Crown Prince during this period, and from the bottom of his heart, he admired the Crown Prince. Those so-called rumors even underestimated the Crown Prince's intelligence.

  He believed that it should not be limited to the Imperial Guards, but all military camps in the imperial court should implement the selection system.

  At the same time, he also knows that wanting to achieve this... is very difficult.

  Lv Gongzhu was not an open-minded person and even opposed the Qingli New Deal, but he had a strong sense of belonging to the Imperial Guard.

  This is a young seedling that needs care and nurturing, waiting for it to grow strong. One day, it will transform the national army into a new one, shedding its old skin and emerging with a new look.

  "What I have seen with my own eyes, how can I be unaware of it?"

  It's all gone! Alas... Zhao Xi was a bit helpless and couldn't even understand how scholars could have such a luxurious life, relying solely on their eloquence to last forever.

  "Commander of the Imperial Guard, Lu Gongzheng, requests an audience with Your Majesty. May I ask whether it is permissible to temporarily suspend the selection of soldiers in order to satisfy the expectations of all?"

  Got it! The big release is over. However, Zhao Xi liked the method of Lv Gongzhu. Being in the Imperial Guard Camp, that's what people in the Imperial Guard Camp should be like, with the temperament of the Imperial Guard Camp.

  The key is that Lü Gong's memorial actually used the tone and manner he had drafted...

  As for this matter, Zhao Zhen also didn't know how to deal with it... who knows what the masters are thinking.

  "Your Majesty, since there is a dispute, let's suspend it for now."

  Since Director Pang has said so, then let's do it this way.

  The whole recruitment process stopped, and then a large group of high-ranking officials in red, yellow, blue, and green uniforms walked across the playground.

  "It was just a joke!"

  This is a master of teasing, always able to find topics to tease about. Seeing this again, it's just a wooden stick and a wooden wall thing. Directly defined as playful teasing.

  "Chen Jie Zhi, if you can complete it within the specified time, the Imperial Guard will consider it a joke and take charge of all the selection procedures."
