Additionally, alcohol is a good thing.

Once refined, it can be used in the medical industry and Luog had already asked people to experiment with this.

Conversely, due to the promotion of wine, certain industries and groups inevitably had to introduce rules such as no drinking during work hours, especially in the military where strict punishments would follow any violations.

The several shops under his management were making a fortune, filling his national treasury to the brim.

Within less than half a month of opening, he could prepare to open branches in other cities, which was naturally a delightful matter.

However, on the other hand, some developments were slightly disappointing.

Upon confirming everything, there were no treasures like the Sue Ding among the bronze vessels.

They were merely ordinary utensils.

Additionally, the inquiries made by Zhao E and the Ming Jing division yielded results.

From the craftsman, it was learned that Zhao Dong seemed to have only made that one Sue Ding, and there was no news about the other eight bronze ding.

This made Luo Gi ponder a possibility.

Could the nine ding of the nine provinces be based on nine different designs, counted as nine separate items? If that were the case, the difficulty of gathering all nine ding would be incredibly high.

Hundreds of golden treasure chests might not even yield them.

Having reached this conclusion, Lu G felt a wave of disappointment.

wash over him.

After feeling down, he decided not to dwell on it further.

Such matters of luck cannot be forced and should be left in nature.

He casually set the report aside.

After sitting at his desk for an entire morning, Lu G stretched out and wondered how things were going for Lu Yong.

Time to check on it and get some exercise, taking a few guards with him.

Lu Gi was not in a hurry on his way to the military camp.

He also planned to inspect the construction projects within Ming Jing City.

After all, the changes in Ming Jing City during this time had been quite significant.

In addition to the several shops he opened, there was also a major project, the construction of school.

Speaking of this, we must mention Zhao Dong Nan's relics, which surprisingly contained much more than Wanlu Chunks.

There was a large amount of bronze and black iron grade items, and unexpectedly there were even a few silver grade items.

Of course, generally speaking, if a bronze level player could carry silver grade items, it only meant that those silver grade items were not particularly impressive.

After all, truly rare and valuable items would be kept in storage.

Among these unimpressive silver grade items was a silver grade school design blueprint, which clearly provided a buff to increase learning efficiency.

With the idea of developing sooner and establishing it as soon as possible, Lu G invested some money into it, urging the construction team to start building the school promptly.

He had already organized the entire school system.

As a modern person, he naturally did not need to follow the ancient methods.

Considering various aspects, Lu G decided to temporarily divide the school into two classes, one for children and one for adults.

Teaching children was all about making it fun, while teaching adults was more about efficiency.

Once the news of the school being built in Ming Jing City spread, registrations were already full before the school was even completed.

However, among those who registered, there were hardly any ordinary citizens.

They were all local city lords under Luog or department heads for various cities.

Some were registering for their own children while others were registering for their brothers and friends as they understood very well the importance of education.

Take those department heads for instance.

An entire department could have dozens or even hundreds of people.

Why did this position fall to them? The reason was simple.

Their learning abilities were stronger than others.

They could read.

When Lu G selected department heads, he would always ask, "Who among you can read? Those who can read step forward.

" generally unless someone had made an extraordinary contribution to the department.

The position of the head was given to the one who could read.

Chapter 299 little ancestor regarding learning.

Luog has always maintained a policy of encouragement without forcing it.

At present, not many ordinary people have signed up, but he doesn't mind.

After all, they still need time to accept it, and a newly established school cannot accommodate too many students at once.

After confirming the construction progress of the school, Lu Gi continued toward the military camp.

From a distance, he saw a large group of people gathered around the training ground, making a commotion.

As soon as they spotted Lu G approaching, they scattered in a hurry.

However, after running a few steps, they realized that they had already completed their daily training and it was now their break time.

There were no rules in the camp prohibiting them from making noise during breaks.

Thinking of this, quite a few people slowly sneaked back.

And when they saw that Lu G said nothing, the soldiers breathed the sigh of relief and quickly surrounded him again.

However, being stirred up by these people, his presence was exposed, so he simply walked openly into the training ground.

I am Lu Yong, reporting to the clan.

Your majesty, Mm.

Lu Gi smiled and helped Luo Yong up, then curiously asked, "You've been selecting 500 people for over half a month, and you still haven't finished.

" Upon hearing this, Lu Yong scratched his head and replied, "Almost there.

We're already on the third round.

" "Oh, you've done three rounds of selection.

It seems pretty serious.

" Lu G looked at Luo Yong in surprise.

Tell me the details.

Regarding how to select people, Lu Gi clearly handed it over to Lu Yong to figure out himself.

It must be said that after a few years of being a general, Lu Yong had become quite adept at handling matters.

The first round of selection was simple, a weighted run.

Undoubtedly, this tested the soldiers physical fitness as the elite troops were equipped with bronze shields and elongated bronze axes along with armor.

Those lacking physical strength would not be able to bear the weight of this equipment.

Once their physical fitness was confirmed, the second round tested their strength.

Luo Yong's approach was straightforward.

They had to wear the bronze shield and bronze axe and undergo 10 rounds of attack training.

Those who made it through would enter the third round of selection, which was also the final round.

The third round was even more straightforward.

It was a practical selection that tested combat awareness and skills.

Of course, they couldn't use real weapons.

They used wooden training weapons.

However, considering the weight issue, Lu Yong intentionally soaked these wooden weapons in water beforehand, making them quite heavy.

After roughly assessing the situation, Lu Gi did not linger and quickly left the training ground.

On one hand, as the emperor, he had many affairs to attend to and could not afford to spend so much time watching an entire selection process.

On the other hand, sitting there would distract the soldiers who would be overly concerned about his presence and not able to focus on the selection with the intention of not causing further trouble for Lu Yong.

Lu G symbolically inspected the area and after confirming the situation left with his escort.

After leaving the military camp, Lu G went directly to the armory.

Initially, he intended to inspect the armory on his way, but he got sidetracked by the Sue Ding incident.

and a series of matters followed, leading him to forget about it until now.

He went to the armory mainly to check on the weaponry and equipment being forged for Lu Yong's elite troops.

Since it was his first time dealing with an elite unit, he was particularly attentive.

With the increase in manpower and the refinement of forging techniques, the efficiency of the armory's work had also improved significantly.

The bronze shields and bronze axes for 500 people were nearing completion.

However, Lu Gi knew the focus was not here, but rather on the armor.

For the first time, he felt the urge to fully equip the soldiers.

Previously, he would never have had such thoughts.

But the situation was different now.

A windfall had provided him with a large amount of bronze, and Luog felt quite wealthy.

With a sudden burst of determination, he wanted to create an almost luxurious army.

It must also be said that indulging in such extravagance was indeed very enjoyable.

At this moment, he understood why history had so many foolish and tyrannical rulers.
