Next, Lin Zhibai focused a large part of his attention on the matter of training the host.

Under his supervision, Zhao Xing, who was the commander of Xingyuan Guard, began to recruit soldiers nationwide.

Because it was Lin Zhibai, the emperor who had a very high reputation among the people, summoned his own army to guard the army, the people's reaction was extremely enthusiastic. Basically, all the civilians, and even some small landlords, responded enthusiastically, intending to send their children to join the army.

Then, they learned that Xingyuanwei is not limited to men and women, and has a monthly salary of up to fifty taels, and will have a generous benefit of being promoted to an official position in the future. Basically, all the young people in the world were moved.

Among some big families, members who are not legitimate sons cannot get so many monthly payments. What are you waiting for if you don’t join the army?

The entire Dahua Dynasty has over 50 million teenagers aged 10 to 16. Both men and women want to actively sign up for Xingyuanwei. Unfortunately, not everyone is qualified to join the army.

First of all, you must have a sense of qi to meet the registration requirements. Then you must also filter the time for the birth of a sense of qi, and finally test the speed of your practice and even the level of your education.

After rounds of screening, 99% of them have been screened for many years, and the remaining small part is a full of elites.

"Your Majesty, according to the data summarized by various places, there are a total of 180,000 teenagers of appropriate age who passed the Xingyuan Guard registration exam." Zhao Xinghui reported.

Recently, Zhao Xing has worked very hard and has lost weight by himself. He is looking forward to Lin Zhibai passing on the Taoist scriptures so that his practice can also reach a higher level.

"Select the best from the best, select 65,000 talented and innocent people, and then tell them about the matters related to the training of the host. If you are willing, sign a contract to join Xingyuanwei.

"If you don't agree, you will wash away the relevant memories, and then make up for them, and you will get enough 65,000 people.

"The rest of these 180,000 people can be sent to various armies for training. If Xingyuan Guard needs to be replaced in the future, they can also be selected and promoted from these personnel, so there is no need to search the world."

After finishing his order, he watched Zhao Xing take the order and leave.

At this time, a brand new inspiration suddenly popped up in Lin Zhibai's mind.

"In the future, when these Xingyuan Guards grow up, each of them will have the combat power of the master level. The Xingyuan Guards with 60,000 or 70,000 people will be able to exert combat power that is no less than the traditional army of 20 million.

"Anyway, after these Xingyuan Guards reach the level of Shenrong Heaven and Earth, they can practice anywhere after receiving the seeds of inner breath, so there is no need to stay in one place anymore. They can fully assume the role of border troops in various places to maintain border security.

"In this case, Dahua's current huge border troops can be disbanded, so that these border troops can be transferred to the local area to maintain public security, and can also export combat power overseas and leave a part of them as logistics.

"The advantage is that the military expenditure of these border troops can be completely given to Xingyuan Guards from the national treasury, saving my expenses, and improving the quality of our Dahua army. Moreover, because these Xingyuan Guards were trained by me from scratch, with complete loyalty and higher qualities.

"The disadvantage is that it will offend the current noble groups and make them lose their military power, which may cause small-scale turmoil. However, I have absolute force, but it is not a big problem. These noble groups can retain their titles and encourage them to explore overseas.

"It can be vigorously promoted, and only the need to ensure that these demobilized soldiers can be placed normally and will not lose their jobs due to retirement, causing greater turmoil."

Lin Zhibai's brain was running at high speed, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt it was very feasible.

However, this is not something that can be rushed. It needs to be slowly implemented in the next ten years, so that Xingyuanwei can replace the current garrisons in various places, and can be temporarily arranged as a long-term plan.

At least at this moment, Lin Zhibai still needs to spend money on cultivating these Xingyuan Guards.

After selecting the right personnel, there will be another period of time to put down the mental prohibition and sign the contract, and then the Taoist scriptures can be passed down.

Although the prospects are bright, there are not enough proxy hosts to use for the time being. It is initially estimated that these proxy hosts should be able to fully mature and grow in ten years. At that time, Lin Zhibai's cultivation speed will reach its peak state.

...

Just as Lin Zhibai was working hard for the plan of longevity, the Dahua Dynasty had been preparing for many years and spent a lot of money among the officials and the voyage fleet finally set off from Bibo Port, Nanhai County.

After the huge ceremony of sacrifice to heaven, under the eyes of countless people, this team of sailors, warriors, soldiers, scholars and countless supplies set off.

Their ultimate goal is to explore the ends of the world and reach the end of the world.

And in this process, record the routes, customs, customs and resources along the way.

When they return, they will be greeted with endless glory and wealth, which are promised by the royal family.

This also makes everyone in this huge fleet full of ambitions and expectations for the future.

The captain of this fleet was Xu Ye, a very famous geologist in the Central Plains, who was also a warrior at the level of a master.

The voyage was very smooth at the beginning. The fleet was heading along the Nanyang Mountains, heading towards the far west, and occasionally shored to replenish supplies along the way.

The navigation logs are also written thicker and thicker in this process.

Soon, half a year passed.

“March 7, sunny.

"The overseas supplies are indeed very rich. The extremely precious pearls, ivory, spices, gems, etc. in the Central Plains can be seen everywhere overseas, and gold, silver, precious metals, etc. are also very rewarding.

"Eighteen days have passed since leaving the island of Baja. According to the precautions given by His Majesty before leaving, where did you supply fresh vegetables? Finally, the signs of scurvy were curbed. A huge land ahead was already vaguely visible, and fishermen who were fishing were vaguely seen.

"I hope they are completely different from some of the uncivilized indigenous people they have contacted before, and are objects to communicate."

On the huge ship, Xu Ye wrote down today's navigation log.

After putting down the pen, I came to the deck and looked into the distance.

This is a new world that has never been discovered in the records of the past. From the characteristics of those people, it can be seen that they are very similar to people in the Central Plains. From being able to go out to sea to catch fish, it can be seen that they have a certain civilization.

This shows that the people on this land are not savages who cannot communicate.

Xu Ye is looking forward to the new land that can bring them surprises.

Maybe, this is the legendary overseas fairy island located at the end of the world?
