Although paper is no longer a luxury item in this era, it is still not cheap.
It's not possible to meet Di Yingxue's requirements for the time being.
With the world in such chaos, where can I buy writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones?
Chenxi tossed her a thin wooden board and a few stones: "Go find Zhou Ren and have him make you a few more wooden boards. Try to paint them a dark color, black is even better. These stones are called drawing stones. You can write on the ground or on wooden boards. If you paint the board a dark color, the writing will be clearer!"
Di Yingxue's eyes lit up. There was plenty of wood here, but where did this painting stone come from?
Seemingly understanding Di Yingxue's question, Chen Xi picked up a pebble from the water's edge: "There are many of these among the pebbles by the stream."
If limestone is discovered in the future, chalk will be even more convenient.
Di Yingxue quickly found a few painting stones as well, and she said excitedly, "We can use these to teach others to write in the future."
Hang up a wooden board, write the words you want to learn on it with a paintbrush, and hang it up for a whole day. Even the most slow learner should be able to learn it by now.
Chenxi smiled and pointed at her, "My Yingxue is so smart!"
Over the past few days, Di Yingxue has gradually gotten used to Shen Xi's teasing. When Shen Xi first said those things, she blushed furiously.
Although she was still a little embarrassed, she had calmed down considerably and chuckled, "The commander is truly clever."
Chen Xi nodded, shamelessly admitting, "If I weren't smart, how could I manage you all!"
Di Yingxue: ......
I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone this shameless!
Seeing Di Yingxue's surprised expression, Chen Xi laughed and said, "Yingxue, let's go. We still have a lot to do."
Then he sighed again: "I can't even steal half a day of leisure from my busy life. My life is so miserable!"
Di Yingxue witnessed another side of the leader. Looking at her small frame, she realized that she usually shouldered so much responsibility. How could a little girl who was only thirteen years old not have an innocent side?
Zhao Rong has arrived, and the main force has been stationed three miles away from here.
The makeshift tent made Zhao Rong feel even smaller standing inside.
I sat in Shen Xi's makeshift office chair, with a desk in front of me.
These were all made by Zhou Ren in a rush, so they look rough, but this is not the time to be picky.
Zhao Rong stood in front of the desk, reporting on everything: "All the personnel in the team have been checked and are in good health. They have been dispersed and assigned to different departments according to their situations."
Chenxi nodded and asked, "Have you found someone useful?"
Zhao Rong nodded: "There are a few that are useful. I will bring them to the commander for review later. As for how to use them, we will need the commander's instructions!"
"Good, you did a great job. From now on, you will be in charge of the main force!"
"Yes, Rong will definitely do a good job!"
The leader's approval made him very happy!
Then Zhao Rong reported on all the matters, big and small, in great detail.
When Lin Yanjun was mentioned, Shen Xi said, "You are in charge of managing this person, so you must not neglect him."
"Yes!" Zhao Rong still appreciated Lin Yanjun quite a bit. When talking to him about the rebel army outside and the situation in the world, Lin Yanjun had his own insights. He was an upright person and did not do anything petty!
Shen Xi frowned and sighed, "This battle with the tiger resulted in two deaths and two injuries, which shows me that the guard team and the vanguard team are really weak in combat."
Zhao Rong blushed; most of these people were selected and trained by him.
Chenxi ignored his shame and continued, "This is not your problem. You are just an ordinary person. How amazing can you be? Besides, time is tight and the training period is too short. This is already the best result you can achieve."
Seeing that Shen Xi didn't blame him, Zhao Rong breathed a sigh of relief: "I will definitely intensify the training of them in the future, so that they can truly protect the commander!"
"Alright, Instructor Zhao will have to work hard!"
After pondering for a moment, Chenxi asked, "Instructor Zhao, do you know any military texts?"
Zhao Rong was taken aback, then smiled wryly: "Commander, I've heard of military treatises, but those aren't things we can access! Of course not."
In this era, although ordinary people had the opportunity to pass the imperial examinations, studying was very expensive, and many people had never even been exposed to books, resulting in a very high illiteracy rate.
Shenxi's father was able to pass the imperial examination at the county level because his family was well-off. Some of his ancestors had passed the provincial examination in the previous dynasty, and the family had also accumulated a number of books.
Chen Xi nodded and asked, "Would you like to study military strategy?"
Zhao Rong nodded frantically: "Of course I'm willing!"
Then he hesitated for a moment: "Sir, is there anyone who can teach me?"
Chen Xi smiled and pointed to herself: "I can!"
"A meeting of the leaders?" Zhao Rong was completely astonished. He believed that Shen Xi was literate and intelligent, but he found it hard to believe that Shen Xi had learned military strategy!
Chen Xi chuckled, not particularly serious with her trusted subordinate: "You don't believe me?"
Zhao Rong immediately regained his senses and repeatedly explained the details, but his expression clearly showed disbelief.
From their interactions over the past few days, Shenxi could tell that Zhao Rong was quick-witted, had strong combat capabilities, excellent organizational and management skills, and was also ruthless.
The key is that he can read, which saves a lot of trouble.
If such a person studies military strategy and tactics, he will be able to manage and train people more efficiently.
She put some effort into explaining: "When I traveled with my father before, I met a reclusive master who taught me many military strategies. Although I don't know how to use them very well, I can teach them to you. If you can apply them flexibly in daily life and train your soldiers according to the methods described in the military books, the results will be much better."
Father, I'm sorry to disturb your spirit. The things I knew in my past life, I can only rely on you.
In his previous life, Chenxi had indeed thoroughly studied military strategy. Warfare is the way of the devil. The business world is like a battlefield, full of countless conspiracies, tricks, and schemes.
Military strategy was a required course for her, and she also applied it to the business world. Through gradual exploration, she slowly learned to apply what she had learned, and naturally, she gained a lot of knowledge.
Regardless of the current situation or even the state of the war, she only needs to grasp the overall picture; her generals and commanders must be able to do so.
Seeing that Shen Xi spoke so logically, Zhao Rong naturally believed him: "The commander is amazing!" His admiration was as boundless as a surging river!
"The guards and the vanguard, you need to train them hard. We'll set up camp here for now."
"good."
"In the future, we need to speed up our expansion outwards. We have enough people now, so you can assign several groups of people to expand outwards. No matter what kind of food it is, they must all be picked and collected and handed over to the logistics department."
"yes!"
"Remember to have a few skilled fighters lead each group. If there are wild beasts, try not to engage them directly. Report back to us first, and then decide how to handle them!"
Shenxi felt there were many things to do, and then instructed: "This matter is very important. If I am not mistaken, a locust plague should begin in about half a month!"
