The waste prince is so fierce

Li Quan took the handkerchief and responded stubbornly: "What kind of man would give up so easily! Yesterday I couldn't even last a quarter of an hour, but today I have improved to a quarter of an hour. I believe I can hold on for an hour soon."

Although he was exhausted at the moment, he enjoyed the refreshing feeling after the soreness.

Mingyue looked at the persistent Li Quan, smiled and shook her head.

At this moment, the maid Xing'er walked into the yard and reported: "Your Highness, the things you asked me to prepare are ready."

As Xing'er finished speaking, two servants carried in a large wooden barrel and opened the lid. A strong fishy smell instantly filled the yard.

Mingyue smelled the smell and couldn't help but frowned slightly: "Is this milk?"

Li Quan nodded and looked at the full milk bucket with satisfaction: "Yes, it's milk."

Mingyue asked curiously, "What does my husband want so much milk for?"

Li Quan responded nonchalantly: "Drink it!"

Seeing Li Quan say this, Mingyue was puzzled: "I only know that the barbarians outside the Western Territory like to drink cow's milk and goat's milk. When did my husband start to like drinking milk?"

In Li Quan's time, milk was indeed a common nutritional product for 21st century families, but in Dakang, few people drank milk except nomadic people.

There are two main reasons: first, Dakang does not have advanced food processing technology, and the milk has a strong smell, which is difficult for ordinary people to accept; second, it lacks preservation technology, and milk is easy to deteriorate after long-distance transportation.

Therefore, most people in Dakang do not have the habit of drinking milk.

"This milk is not for me to drink, but for the soldiers in our mansion.

They are in the growth stage and need nutrition.”

Li Quan knew that if he explained to Mingyue in detail the scientific principles behind why milk is rich in protein, she might not understand, so he just spoke directly.

He added: "This raw milk does have a strong smell. Let Xing'er and the others heat it up a little and add some tea leaves during the cooking process."

Xing'er took the order and asked the servants to carry the milk bucket to the kitchen.

Seeing this, Mingyue picked up the pen again and continued recording in the account book.

"Husband, are you too kind to those dolls?"

Looking at Xing'er and the others as they left, Mingyue raised the questions in her mind.

"Not to mention the ordinary prince's guards, even the royal guards have not enjoyed such excellent treatment from my husband."

Mingyue was not reluctant to spend the money, but she just didn't understand why Li Quan attached so much importance to these child soldiers recruited from the military camp.

Facing her question, Li Quan responded with a mysterious smile: "Madam, don't underestimate them because of their young age. In less than three months, they will become the most powerful special forces in Dakang.

By that time, even Dakang’s most elite Black Armored Army would be unable to contend against the palace soldiers of Prince Qi with equal numbers.

They are like the Tigers of this era!"

"The Tigers?"

Mingyue heard a new term from Li Quan and asked with her chin in her hand.

Li Quan scratched his head awkwardly and explained, "It is a very brave and almighty troop. In short, it is very powerful."

Mingyue responded: "My husband knows so much, I have never even heard of it."

Li Quan said proudly: "This is just the tip of the iceberg. I, your husband, have much more knowledge. You will gradually see it in the future.

Oh, and remember to ask Xing'er to buy milk every day, without missing a day."

When talking about having to spend some money every day to buy milk, Mingyue, who has a financial mind, seemed a little reluctant.

"Don't worry, it won't cost much."

Li Quan comforted him, "Compared to the role they will play in the future, this investment is not worth mentioning at all."

Watching Li Quan leave in a generous manner, Mingyue smiled bitterly helplessly.

Walking out of the courtyard and crossing three alleys, Li Quan arrived at the training ground for the soldiers.

This so-called training ground is actually a spacious open space. The original owner had planned to dig an artificial lake here for leisure fishing, but before construction began, the house had already belonged to Li Quan.

Seeing Li Quan appear, the young men who were neatly arranged in ten square formations all half-knelt and saluted: "Greetings to His Majesty the Prince of Qi!"

Li Quan waved his hand and asked them to stand up. Although he did not like these red tapes, he also understood that he could not change everyone's ideas at this time.

If he were to preach to these people now that all men are created equal and that there is no distinction between high and low, he would probably be regarded as a lunatic.

The ideas passed down for thousands of years have long been deeply rooted in people's hearts and cannot be changed by Li Quan's few words.

"Pohuang, send these to them."

Li Quan looked at Li Pohuang who was standing in the front and handed him a stack of papers densely written with words.

"Your Highness, what is this?"

Li Pohuang took the paper with a puzzled look on his face.

"These are the rules and regulations of the Qi Wangfu soldiers, just like the military discipline and regulations in your army."

After learning that what was written on the paper was military regulations, Li Pohuang scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Your Highness, you may not understand. We are uneducated and do not recognize the words on it."

After hearing this, Li Quan suddenly realized: "Oh, how could I have overlooked this! This place is different from the world I am familiar with. How can these poor children who can't even get enough food have the opportunity to learn to read?"

Realizing his negligence, Li Quan coughed twice and decided to recite the military regulations orally: "The first rule is that you will be divided into teams of ten people and conduct performance appraisals every month. The top three team members will each receive a reward of five taels of silver!"

When Li Quan mentioned the reward of five taels of silver, all the young men couldn't help but hold their breath.

You should know that in Dakang, even the regular army guarding the border only received nine hundred to one thousand copper coins per month, while the soldiers doing miscellaneous tasks only received around six hundred coins.

Now the monthly reward alone is five taels of silver, which is an unimaginable amount of money for these young people who can't even get enough food to eat on weekdays.

"Your Highness, what is performance appraisal?"

Li Pohuang was the first to raise questions.

This question resonated with the other teenagers, who chimed in: “Yeah, what is KPI?”

Li Quan motioned for everyone to be quiet and explained, “KPI is the assessment indicator, which includes a comprehensive assessment of attendance, training performance, contribution to the Qi Palace, and other aspects.

The specific content will be announced later at the training ground, and there will be someone to guide you.

I borrowed the management methods of modern enterprises to manage the army, because high rewards often inspire the fighting spirit of warriors.

If I only offer a small reward, who can sincerely serve me? In this era, ordinary people are easily satisfied, as long as they can fill their stomachs. "

After listening to Li Quan's explanation, although the teenagers could not fully understand it, they all expressed their agreement.

Li Quan further announced: “In addition to the monthly bonus, the soldiers of the Qi Palace can also receive a basic military pay of three taels of silver every month.
