C17 Bold Innovation

"Then I thank the lord for Gao Shun's appreciation." Xu Qing said.

"Hmm, starting tomorrow, these fifty people will enter the second stage of their training. You will lead them to practice riding and fighting."

"Yes, my lord." Xu Qing smiled, patted Dian Wei's shoulder and said, "Hong Fei, I'll be depending on you these past few days. From tomorrow on, you can see how I train."

"How are you going to train?" Chen Yu asked.

"Soldiers often die in a way that they cannot, and it is inconvenient for them to lose. That is to say, the soldiers tend to sacrifice because they lack the ability, and their military skills are not proficient and they fail, so the way to use soldiers, first, is to train, to train, to not teach, to not teach, to not teach the citizens to fight, that is to say, to give up. So, I want them to be treated as soldiers, to have them bow and become proficient. " Xu Qing said.

"Oh? "Tell me the specifics." Chen Yu's interest was piqued.

"Cavalry soldiers need to use horses, so we need to train horses first. As long as we train horses, the cavalry will no longer have any worries." Xu Qing said.

"Well said, continue." Chen Yu nodded.

"After training the horses, one must train the soldiers to become one with the horse. Only by doing so can one better display the might of the cavalry."

"What weapon do you think the cavalry should use?" Chen Yu suddenly asked.

"Weapon? There are two types of cavalry, the first is my burly man's cavalry, using pikes and lances, the other is a minority of the Northern Desert, with riding as the main force, riding as required, and riding as required extremely high skill, only the minority of the Northern Desert, who grew up on horses, are able to use their pikes to the extreme, which is not suitable for my burly man's cavalry, so, we still need to use pikes. " Xu Qing said.

The most important thing was that they lacked the ability to take any actions. In the past, the 5000 soldiers belonging to the Great General Li Ling under the Emperor of Han Wu were besieged by the 80,000 strong army of the Huns, and the reason why Li Ling was able to hold on for a few days and nights was because the Huns could not break through the army's formation and did not have the ability to attack. In addition, the time needed to train for riding was relatively long, and it was not suitable for his cavalry.

That was why a month ago, Chen Yu had already drawn the pictures of the horse pedals and sabers, allowing the blacksmiths of the Chen family to forge them day and night. Now, fifty horse pedals and fifty sabers had been created, Chen Yu believed that with these two new weapons, the cavalry of the Chen family would definitely have a powerful combat strength.

When Chen Yu handed over the picture of the horse pedal and saber to Xu Qing, Xu Qing's face was first stunned, then shocked, and finally, mad with joy.

"F * ck, who designed this? What a f * * king genius!" With this, I can train an invincible cavalry army! " Xu Qing shouted.

Xu Qing, who was familiar with the cavalry, could immediately tell that pedalling on horseback was an era breaking invention. Coupled with the preparation of the saber, it would change the course of future riding and would lead to the emergence of a new form of war. And the one who created all of this, Chen Yu, would also take the initiative and walk at the forefront of time.

"Alright, I'll leave the training matters to you guys. I still have my own matters to attend to. In a month, I will come back to check on your training results." Chen Yu slightly smiled, two elegant arcs appeared between her lips.

Xu Chang City, Chen family.

Chen Yu arrived in front of Chen Zhong. Chen Zhong looked at Chen Yu and nodded with a smile.

"Yu'er, how's your cavalry training going?"

"Father, it has already taken shape. In another month, it will be of use." Chen Yu said.

You have seen my body, so I have decided to hand over a part of the family's property to you and Qian'er to take care of, and for the two of you to take care of it, I have decided to give your family's grain store to Qian'er to take care of, and your family's restaurant in Changxu City to you to take care of, and you will bear the consequences and report back to me by the end of the year.

Chen Yu's father was testing her and Chen Qian's abilities. The Chen Family's grain store was the largest grain store in Xu Chang City, and also, grain was a very profitable business, no matter what time, people cannot survive without grain, and the Chen Family's restaurant, although it was a large restaurant, in Xu Chang City, there were still several larger restaurants than the Chen Family's, moreover, although the restaurant's profit price was very high, there was a limit to the daily turnover, which was not as high as the grains, and most of them were large scale transactions. So, generally speaking, the grain store had a greater profit and a greater amount of money.

"Yu'er, Qian'er is your big brother after all, and she has much more experience than you, so, this time he took advantage of the situation, but it might be a test for you. If you can make a good restaurant, or even surpass the grain store, that will prove your capabilities, don't you think?"

So that was how it was. This was a test given by his father! If he could win in such a disadvantageous situation, presumably, his father would think highly of him. Thinking of this, Chen Yu said, "Father, your son understands."

"Yu'er, you can take over my Magnificent Jewel Restaurant right now. Once you get there, the steward of the restaurant will explain everything to you."

"Then Father, I'll go." Chen Yu nodded and left her father's residence.

When Chen Yu was walking out, and she was just about to enter the house, the two of them glanced at each other, Chen Qian glanced at Chen Yu, Chen Yu's eyes sharpened, her hand pressed on the sword hilt at her waist, Chen Qian's face immediately turned pale, and she lowered her head and walked into the house.

"This time, I will definitely beat you!" Chen Qian whispered.

"Then we'll see."

Chen Yu harrumphed and left with big strides.

Although it was already noon, and was the time for the meal, the business of the restaurant was not too hot. There were three tables of customers on the first floor, one table on the second floor, and there was not a single table on the third floor. Seeing this, Chen Yu frowned and called over the restaurant manager, Chen Wu.

"Head Manager Chen, does this restaurant do this every day?" Chen Yu asked.

"That's right, it has been like this for the past half year. I only came to seven or eight tables, and although I can't earn much money, I can't lose it either. After deducting the salary of the shop assistant, I still have a little bit left over." Chen Wu said.

"Are the other restaurants the same?"

"It's about the same. It's still low season, and there aren't many people eating and drinking in the restaurant. Therefore, everyone is barely able to maintain it."

"Alright, I understand."

"Young Master, this is the account for the past six months. Would you like to take a look?" Chief Steward Chen asked.

"No need, just tell me how much money the hotel has left."

"About five hundred taels of silver." Chief Steward Chen said.

"Only five hundred silver?" "Alright, I understand. You can go now." Chen Yu said.

Coming back from the Magnificent Brocade Restaurant, Chen Yu was in a bad mood. It would be difficult to earn money in this half-dead, half-alive restaurant. How could she revive the dead and earn money in this restaurant?

Chen Yu returned to the restaurant once more, found Steward Chen, and brought out five hundred silver taels. After that, she handed it to Steward Chen and said, "Steward Chen, for the next few days, the restaurant will be closed. I want to redecorate the restaurant."

"Redecorate? That five hundred silver is just barely enough. " Chief Steward Chen said.

"Manager Chen, my restaurant can't go on like this any longer. I plan to make this restaurant a combination of entertainment and food. The first floor will be the restaurant, the third floor will be the gambling den, and the second floor will be the bathing pool."

"Bath pool, what is that?" Chief Steward Chen asked in a daze.

The bathing pool is where people bathe. We can customize some large wooden buckets, perform separate baths for men and women, take baths including milk baths, flower baths, fish baths, and so on. I think we can definitely attract the scholars and nobles here.
