Su Binglan knew her brother was intelligent. However, he did not reincarnate or transmigrate from the future nor live multiple lives, so this era’s environment influenced his thoughts.
That was why he could never consider such methods to train militants.
Nonetheless, Lan Ruozhu felt energized and excited.
Su Binglan said smilingly, “Brother, sit down. I’ll tell you about the academy.”
“Right, got it,” Lan Ruozhu said as he sat down. He knew what kind of influence his sister would have if they built the academy. With her around, the military would not have to worry about having insufficient talents.

He became excited just thinking about how many elites and trusted aides the academy could produce. Lan Ruozhu was non-confrontational but understood that he possessed significant power to protect his people.
‘l want my people to enjoy peaceful lives and not allow harm to befall them.
Even if someone attacked, I’m confident my men can defend us.’ Su Binglan looked at her brother and understood his thoughts. The two siblings seemed to have a tacit understanding of each other.
Su Binglan said, “We’ll divide the students into different classes according to their age. After completing their studies, we will divide them according to what they excel at.
“For example, if one shows potential to become a general, we’ll focus their studies on becoming one. If one is a potential military advisor, we’ll teach them whatever it takes to become one.
“There are also those who excel at observing weather, exploring a terrain, and search and rescue. However, we must also train talents who can command battles.
“It’ll be best if they’re young and start learning as soon as possible. After a few years of studying and honing their skills, they can go to the battlefields.
“Those who are older can have more actual combat training. Still, we must let everyone enroll willingly. The family members of the soldiers who have made contributions will have priority in enrolling.”
Su Binglan continued, “I’ll write a detailed plan for you later, and then you can accumulate and arrange soldiers accordingly. If there’s anything you want to add to it, feel free to do so.’
Lan Ruozhu said emotionally, “Well, you’ve already explained everything in detail. Where do you think is a suitable place to build this military academy?” Su Binglan looked at Lan Ruozhu!s excited expression and smiled, saying, “I’m sure you already know the answer to that, Brother.”
Lan Ruozhu chuckled. “As expected, I can’t hide anything from you.”
Although he already had an idea, he still wanted to run it by his sister. Lan Ruozhu was never stubborn and arrogant. Instead, he would always seek his sister’s opinion and advice.
He would also ask for his trusted subordinates’ opinions before making
radical decisions. That way, he could understand the situation better and make the most efficient choice.
“I’m considering building the academy in the prefecture,” Lan Ruozhu said, “It’s closer to the main army base, after all. It’ll be more convenient for me to delegate the students from the Institute of Humanity. We can supply the military camp with more workforce if need be.”
Su Binglan nodded as she had a similar thought. She said, “There’s a vast piece of land near the village around the prefecture. We can use it to build the academy without using up the farming land.
“There’s also plenty of land in other areas of Dingzhou, which are convenient for construction.’
Since Su Binglan had suggested it, Lan Ruozhu agreed and decided to build the academy there. Soon after, the siblings discussed the other details together.
Later that afternoon, the siblings disguised themselves and visited the prefecture. They planned to look around and consider the exact location to build the academy.
When the siblings arrived at a valley, Lan Ruozhu said, “Sister, this valley can be a natural training ground. It’s also hidden. There’s even a forest beside it where everyone can practice.”
Su Binglan added, “We can build some military obstacles for them to train with, such as walls, barbed wire courses, and so on.’
“What are those?” Lan Ruozhu had never heard his sister mention such things when she was Lan Ruobing. However, that was because she had yet to recover all her memories at that time.
“They’re training programs,” Su Binglan patiently explained, “I’ll write a detailed plan about them later.”
“All right, that sounds good,” Lan Ruozhu said, “We can build the things you mentioned first.
“If possible, I’d like you to teach the soldiers what you know, too. I know the soldiers will learn much more with you around. Still, you have a noble status, and I can’t bear to see you work so hard.”
Su Binglan did not mind it, saying, “I have plenty of things to do, but I can come and guide the soldiers when the academy is complete.”
Lan Ruozhu was just joking. He did not expect his sister to agree so readily. He was surprised and excited but did not know what to say. “Sister, you…”
Su Binglan said, “We’re family, aren’t we? You don’t have to be so polite. What you want is what I want, too.”
Lan Ruozhu remembered him and his sister talking about their dreams when they were children. The two wanted the people to have enough to eat and warm clothes to wear.
Since Chu Country faced internal strife, the siblings would work hard to create a peaceful and prosperous environment for the people. The twins understood each other’s thoughts just by looking at each other.
After talking about building a military academy, Su Binglan and Lan Ruozhu began to implement their ideas. After all, they had already divided and prepared the soldiers to take turns resting and farming.
Su Binglan also no longer needed to worry about farming because she had already taught the first batch of soldiers what to do. Instead, she only needed to make plans for the military academy.
Su Binglan even drew a blueprint of the academy according to the terrain. She said, “Brother, these will be the instructors’ offices. Since it’s a military school, it should be enclosed and private.
“No one can leave or enter without permission. Also, these are the dormitories that can accommodate six people per unit. I included an apartment for the instructors, and that is the training grounds with various obstacles and equipment. ”
Su Binglan made her blueprint highly detailed to make it convenient for the builders to follow..
