Chapter 961: How to Train?

With his head full of joy, Zhigui returned to his unit and immediately announced this matter to his subordinates, requiring them to pass this information on to other departments; ordinary people might not need to know, but as fellow officials serving in the same court, everyone had to know that Huaxia now had a City Lord of Suicheng.

As it turned out, halfway through this, the servants sent by Baoxi came to invite someone from the Ministry of Rites to teach Baoxi etiquette. Zhigui felt his head swell again and hurriedly sent a subordinate specifically responsible for this matter to go; Zhigui himself was not in charge of this aspect, so whether he went or not was of no consequence.

When Baoxi saw that it was not Zhigui who had come, he was somewhat puzzled, but after hearing a reasonable and well-founded answer, Baoxi felt no need to pursue the matter further.

At the same time, this Ministry of Rites Official brought a huge piece of good news to Baoxi. The man from the Ministry of Rites stepped back two paces, tidied his clothes, then bowed to Baoxi with his hands cupped, bending his waist deeply, and said cheerfully: "Congratulations, City Lord Baoxi!

The King has just issued an order to appoint you as the City Lord of Suicheng, but because Huaxia does not currently have a real Suicheng, this is a nominal position; however, the rank is very high, and in terms of position, it is only below the King and the Prime Minister. Currently, Huaxia only has two City Lords.

One is the City Lord of Lema City, Yu, and the other is you, the newly appointed City Lord of Suicheng."

Having already understood the general operating model of Huaxia, Baoxi understood it completely: due to the timing, he could not be given nobility for the time being, but now he could be given a sufficiently high position in Huaxia in advance, allowing him to have a sense of belonging in Huaxia and to truly become a member of Huaxia.

Baoxi was very happy: "Hahahaha, good, good, I am a City Lord now too."

Having said that, he was about to bow to the man from the Ministry of Rites, which frightened the man so much that he hurriedly stepped aside and stepped forward to pull Baoxi up: "Hey, City Lord, you absolutely must not! My position is lower than yours, and I do not have any nobility, so you must not bow to me; it can only be me bowing to you."

Baoxi raised his arms: "Hmm, is that so? Then when you bow to me, or when others bow to me, should I just stand like this?"

"No, no, no, that won't do either." The Ministry of Rites Official immediately demonstrated on the side: "City Lord, look, for juniors and subordinates, you should return the salute like this, and only after they bow to you first do you need to return the salute; keep your hands lower, right here, and there is no need to bend your waist.

If you meet someone with higher nobility or a higher position, you salute like this, with your hands placed a bit higher and your waist bent just a little bit."

But the Ministry of Rites Official added with a smile: "Of course, you don't need to worry too much about this, because in terms of official position alone, currently only Prime Minister Sanxin has a higher position than you, but everyone knows that as soon as the time comes, you will possess the highest nobility in Huaxia.

In Huaxia, nobility carries more weight than official rank, so even if you do not hold any position or any official rank, as long as you have nobility, you do not need to bow to anyone except the King."

Baoxi laughed happily: "Good, good, so that's how it is. Since that's the case, I see you only need to teach me the etiquette I should learn."

The Ministry of Rites Official nodded hurriedly and then began to teach Baoxi hand-in-hand.

The soldiers Baoxi brought were also transformed by Huaxia; first was their appearance, scrubbing them clean and tidying up their style.

Although the weapons they carried were not bad and were all made of Bronze, Huaxia replaced them all with Iron, which made them incredibly happy.

Baoxi thought, why not let them train just like the soldiers of Huaxia to see if they could resemble Huaxia Soldiers; in this way, the soldiers he brought might be able to become full-time Huaxia Soldiers in the future without having to do anything else. In Huaxia, being a soldier was indeed a very good choice.

Huaxia's military strength was currently depleted, and there were indeed not many people left. Although there were still a few thousand soldiers remaining, they were divided between Huaxia City and Lema City, and they had to rotate to patrol, guard, and execute various tasks, while some were suffering in Liuhuangdi. Therefore, it was difficult to find soldiers who could spare the time to instruct these Suiren Clan soldiers. In the end, they could only find two new Squad leaders to lead them.

When they received the order, they asked Yishang with confusion: "General, should we just go through the motions, or follow the requirements strictly? What if they refuse to obey?"

Yishang also rubbed his head with some helplessness: "Forget it, just teach them the formations and basic commands roughly, then teach them how to use the Knife. I estimate that Baoxi will be returning soon; how many days can these few people learn?

Even if you teach them seriously, they won't have time to learn much, so just teach them casually."

"Yes!" The two Squad leaders straightened their backs and saluted Yishang, then looked at each other; they already had their own plans.

Yishang did not bother with it anymore. Now he had to be responsible for all the affairs of the Ministry of War. Although there were fewer people, the various coordination tasks were more troublesome, and he had to pay attention to the news sent from the front line at any time. However, since Xiong and the others set off, only two letters had been delivered so far. The last news was that they had already left the Xuanyuan Tribe and were heading toward the Shennong Clan, but what the specific situation was now, he had no idea.

And now, Xiong was moving along the road left behind by Xuanyuan and the others. After the modifications by Xuanyuan and the others, the road was much easier to travel, but Xiong still carried out repairs again; after all, in terms of construction and tools, Huaxia was far superior to the Xuanyuan Tribe.

They still followed their old methods, carrying out modifications wherever they camped. They cleared away all the trees, Grass, and stones they could see, and leveled the ground. If there was enough time and enough materials, they could even temporarily build a house out of wood.

After all, by cutting corresponding channels into raw logs and stacking them layer by layer, one could quickly build a house.

Along the way, if there was no road, they opened one; if they encountered water, they built a bridge. This was a kind of investment and construction for the future. Both their team and Xuanyuan's team needed to pass through here. Most importantly, the Logistics Team also had to use this road. If this road was not opened, and if the transport of food was delayed due to some messy business, it would be the most serious blow to them.

Although the food had already been delivered while he was in Xuanyuan's territory, who knew if Xuanyuan would favor his own people in the most urgent of situations.
