As July quickly passed, the following two weeks brought about the harshest training the soldiers had ever experienced, particularly for the new ten thousand recruits undergoing soldier training.
Despite the challenges, only a small number of them refrained from complaining, as they were former militia members now adapting to their roles as soldiers.
Nevertheless, despite the complaints, none chose to quit as they were enticed by the substantially higher salary offered after Yuqi finally agreed to another raise for the soldiers.
Meanwhile, everyone in the town knew something big was happening as resources were starting to be rationed and directed toward the factories to help them resume back to full capacity.
Although the commercial district could feel the impact of the resource restriction, the average man's life was still relatively unimpacted as Yuqi's plan didn't impact stores for residential areas.
