Six Hundred and Ninety-Nine: The Lord Borrowed Someone, but Never Returned (3)
Qi Kuang understood that this was the current trend, and family background and appearance were the most important.
If you wanted to be an official, you would first look at your family background, then your appearance, and then your ability, character, and talent.
Big bosses are all obsessed with looks. Qi Kuang was capable but not good-looking. He worked hard for many years before he climbed to the position of centurion, but he was unknown.
Jiang Pengji was quite surprised when she heard this and asked Qi Kuang back.
"I recruited you for your talent, ability, and loyalty. Is it related to your appearance?" She smiled and held her forehead with her hand, looking at Qi Kuang firmly, "Whether you are beautiful or ugly has nothing to do with me. After all, the person who cares about appearance should not be your bedmate? If you surrender, I will be the master and you will be the minister. How can the relationship between the master and the minister be equal to that of husband and wife? As the master, I only need you to train the sailors for me, and nothing else matters. Could it be that if you look better, you can train a more elite navy for me?"
Appearance is not a buff, and it cannot increase the whole army.
Jiang Pengji wants to recruit talents, not just pretty girls.
Qi Kuang was speechless, but the grudge in his heart was gone.
After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you for your kindness, my lord. I will do my best to train an elite army for you."
Feng Zhen had already persuaded Qi Kuang to surrender, and Jiang Pengji made it clear that she didn't mind her appearance, so Qi Kuang naturally returned.
"If you have this determination, I will naturally support you with all my strength. Now the timing is not right, and it is not convenient to assign people to you. When you return to Wanzhou, you can go and select 3,000 elite soldiers as sailors. How to train and what you need, I will not interfere. The most taboo in training is for laymen to guide experts, and I will not cause trouble for you. There is only one thing you have to remember - I want to see the elite army you are talking about!"
Although Jiang Pengji did not explain it directly, Qi Kuang also heard how much authority and freedom this person gave him.
As long as the navy is established, he will be the commander of this navy.
Even though Qi Kuang had made all kinds of assumptions, he didn't expect Jiang Pengji to make such a big promise to him.
"Thank you, my lord, for your kindness." Qi Kuang bowed down, "I will definitely fulfill my mission!"
The dust has settled.
Jiang Pengji, Feng Zhen and Qi Kuang are all very satisfied, but the audience in the live broadcast room is a little disappointed.
Because of this Qi Kuang,
the overall appearance of Jiang Pengji Group will be lowered by several percentage points. Isn't watching live broadcast just to see the face?
However, this emotion did not last long, and their impression of Qi Kuang has greatly improved.
Although Qi Kuang is ugly and has a lame leg, he has a family background.
His ancestors have been dealing with "water" for generations. The previous generations were fishermen living along the river. When it came to his grandfather and father's generation, they became "soldiers" and dealt with pirates who robbed along the river all year round. Qi Kuang grew up in such a family and his foundation is much stronger than others.
He went to Yang Jian with full confidence, wanting to show his ambition and bring honor to his family, just like a young man who just graduated from college and entered the society, with a heart full of blood, but hit a wall in the face of reality. Because of his ugly appearance and a disabled leg, he served under Yang Jian for seven years, followed his master to fight hundreds of naval battles, and brushed against the King of Hell dozens of times, but he is still only a centurion.
However, he was not discouraged by this, but studied more diligently, but his temper was not as enthusiastic as before.
Now that Jiang Pengji promised him great authority, Qi Kuang felt that his blood, which had been dormant for a long time, began to heat up and boil again.
Qi Kuang told Jiang Pengji a lot of his own experience, experience and methods of training sailors, and used the battles he had personally experienced as examples. It was well-founded and not simply a paper talk, and Jiang Pengji listened very seriously.
Qi Kuang's cultural level is limited to writing and recognizing characters, and he has not studied deeply, so his writing is not good, but he has a strong grasp of the rhythm of the story, and his logic is very clear. Even the most bland examples can be said in a gusto.
Preliminary point of view, Jiang Pengji is very satisfied with this future sailor commander.
At the same time, Qi Kuang also gave this new lord a five-star evaluation.
He thought Jiang Pengji didn't know anything, but unexpectedly, she not only knew it, but also could point to the core, and her questions were quite sharp.
As the conversation between the two deepened, the audience in the live broadcast room was attracted by Qi Kuang.
[Explosive update and liver]: People who work hard are the most handsome. Qi Kuang is not good-looking, but he is quite temperamental when he is serious.
[Seeking monthly tickets]: Same as above, I agree. What you look like is given by your parents, and you can't choose it yourself. You have human rights even if you are ugly.
[Seeking recommendation tickets]: Although I am also a face dog, I can't criticize other people's looks at will. How is Qi Kuang? It's hard to draw conclusions without knowing much about him. But the person who can be selected by the anchor must be good. I believe in the anchor's vision. If Qi Kuang becomes rich in the future, it will be a live grassroots counterattack drama, which is very inspiring, so I plan to follow him.
This conversation lasted for more than an hour.
Jiang Pengji was still in high spirits, but Qi Kuang and Feng Zhen were a little exhausted.
Looking at the sky outside, it was really late.
"I am tired too. We will talk about it tomorrow. Let's go down and rest now."
Feng Zhen heard this and felt as if he had been pardoned. He greeted Qi Kuang and the two left together.
Jiang Pengji was full of energy. After Feng Zhen and the others left, she was still thinking about Qi Kuang's method of training sailors in her mind.
Although Qi Kuang's method of training sailors was very different from the current trend, Jiang Pengji admired it very much.
However, if a navy was formed, it would be a huge expense.
Jiang Pengji rubbed her forehead with a headache.
Due to the backward shipbuilding technology and geographical restrictions, the size of the navy is limited and can only be confined to a specific area.
However, there are also people with foresight in the world.
These people did not give up the sailors, but actively created conditions and put them into practice.
In the southern region, water bandits are rampant. In order to curb the development of water bandits and protect the people along the coast, sailors have become a necessary type of soldiers.
Compared with land soldiers, sailors have higher and stricter requirements in terms of order, discipline and cooperation. In other words, daily training and exercises are even more necessary for sailors than land soldiers, which also means greater expenses.
In recent years, sailors may not have the opportunity to go to the battlefield. In Qi Kuang's words, that is to support idle people.
Over time, it is inevitable that other people will gossip.
But this is not a problem. Jiang Pengji said that he wanted to train sailors. Who dares to stop him?
What if he is criticized as an idler?
The lord does not mind the navy spending money, so what are outsiders talking about?
She held her cheek with her left hand, turned the brush with her right hand, and spread a clean white paper on the table, thinking about how to write.
The audience in the live broadcast room was wondering what she was going to write, but saw Jiang Pengji drawing several sketches of wooden boats on bamboo paper. To find this site, please search "" or enter the URL:
