More than ten days had passed.

In these ten days, she handed over the toys to Li Huaisheng. He would arrange everything, and she only needed to come up with the drawings.

In the past ten days, the framework of Lin Yuelan’s house had been completed. As long as the roof was added and the house was fixed, the house would be completed.

In addition to giving out a design plan for the house, she also became a hands-off manager, handing all the work over to master Hu, the craftsman, and Guo Bing, the supervisor.

As they had agreed to contract the entire project to master Hu, master Hu also hired some capable and honest people to work according to Lin yuelan’s suggestion.

With a higher salary, they worked faster. In terms of food, Lin yuelan didn’t treat them badly. They had fish every day and even invited two honest women who were good at cooking to specially cook for them.

This way, everyone would be full of energy and work with enthusiasm, so their efficiency would definitely be higher.

Jiang Zhennan looked at the large and spacious courtyard with three entrances and three exits, which was almost completed, and was really surprised by their efficiency.

Later on, he found out that this was a kind of contract.

The so-called contract system was to pay according to the amount of work and then hand over all the construction work to the craftsman master Hu to do. Whether they finished it all by themselves or asked some other people to do it together, in short, it must be finished within the stipulated time, and then the rest of the payment would be paid.

This method was really novel and efficient, which was very rare to Jiang Zhennan.

He asked, “Miss Yue ‘Er, can such a contract be used in the army? ”

Lin Yuelan rolled her eyes and said indifferently, “How would I know? ”

Jiang Zhennan immediately replied, ” miss Yue ‘Er, I’m serious.”

Lin Yuelan also said with a serious expression, “The contract system is based on public ownership, with interests as a mechanism and responsibility as the core. It is a system that combines responsibility, power, and body. It is only suitable for commercial, economic transactions, but not for the strict military system.”

Jiang Zhennan actually wanted to hear about how the army would be managed two thousand years later from Lin Yuelan.

“However, I do have some suggestions and opinions on military training.” Lin yuelan said.

As far as she knew, military training was focused on fighting and killing, as well as some archery skills. They didn’t pay attention to strengthening their physical fitness.

Jiang Zhennan’s eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, ” please speak.”

Lin yuelan’s cold voice rang in Jiang Zhennan’s ear as she said, ” tell every soldier to run every day when there’s no war, and it must not be less than five kilometers. No matter whether it’s windy or rainy, they must persevere. This is the first thing. Second, daily training in formation, snatching, tactics, archery, and skills. Third, stick to the 400-meter obstacle course, 100-meter sprint, frog jump, push-ups, one-leg stretch, and mass training every day. Do you understand this?”

Jiang Zhennan’s face was serious, and his eyes were sharp and filled with doubt as he stared at Lin Yuelan.

He could understand every word she said, but when they were put together, he couldn’t understand them at all.

For example, what was frog-jumping, what was push-ups, and so on?

Of course, Jiang Zhennan was a curious and motivated baby. Since he did not understand, he had to ask.

He shook his head, then asked, “Are these trained by the army 2000 years later? ”

Lin yuelan nodded and said, ” that’s right.”

Jiang Zhennan immediately said anxiously, ” miss Yue ‘er, I don’t understand what you’re saying. After I return to the army, can I ask you to help me train the soldiers? ”

He believed that the training methods 2000 years later would definitely be better and more brilliant than them only know how to train and fight each other every day.

Lin yuelan shook her head and refused,I won’t agree to join the army. However,”

After hearing Lin yuelan’s words, Jiang Zhennan’s eyes were filled with sadness and disappointment, but then he became excited again.

Lin yuelan said, ” I’m preparing to train a group of guards and will train them according to these methods. You can just watch and participate from the side.” She was telling Jiang Zhennan that he could secretly learn it.

Jiang Zhennan was so excited that he didn’t know what to say. Just as he was about to say thank you, little Three and the other two ran over excitedly and shouted, “The grains are bearing, the grains are bearing, miss Lin, the grains are bearing!”
