115 Logistics
King Quan hesitated and asked, "Do you have a way?"
Chu Xiaoxi hesitated for a moment and said, "There is a way, but I don't know if it's feasible!"
King Quan's eyes lit up, thinking that Chu Xiaoxi could help him solve this problem, and then his eyes darkened again, he felt that Chu Xiaoxi was just a woman who had read a few strange books in the boudoir, how could he really think that she could come up with a way to solve military supplies, was he too sad about this matter recently?
However, Chu Xiaoxi was able to put himself in his shoes to solve problems, King Quan was very pleased, and he didn't want to discourage her enthusiasm, King Quan smiled and said, "Well!
The change in King Quan's expression, Chu Xiaoxi saw it in his eyes, and knew that the reason why King Quan asked her to come and listen was just to take care of her face, Chu Xiaoxi was not angry, who called her now just a concubine of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion who did not leave the gate, what about Lin Yanxi?
And he is not very old, only fifteen or sixteen years old, how can you let a prince in his early twenties believe that you have a way to alleviate military needs?
So Chu Xiaoxi said his thoughts: "I went to the training ground with Ah Zhi to see you today!"
King Kwon nodded, indicating that he already knew.
"Don't you think your training ground stinks?"
King Quan was a little puzzled, he didn't know what the connection between what Chu Xiaoxi said and the military quartermaster, "You may not be used to it, every station is like this!"
Chu Xiaoxi said, "It's because every station is like this, so you haven't thought about changing it? Is it very comfortable for everyone to live in such a place? Is it because they are like this, so you have to get used to this discomfort?"
King Quan wanted to say something, but Chu Xiaoxi didn't give him a chance, "I'm not squeamish, I'm finding fault, but I heard Ah Zhi say today, you here, in addition to arranging troops, training and fighting, the soldiers are just doing some work to bury pots and make rice, so they can use some firewood to fight part of it themselves, and the rice and vegetables all rely on the supply of the imperial court, right?"
King Quan nodded, "Yes! The soldiers are very tired from training, and they have to cook with a lot of firewood every day, as well as wash clothes, and they have no time to farm!
"Can't you say that the soldiers are divided into many groups and take turns to farm?"
King Quan shook his head, "Marching and fighting is not child's play, when training the troops, they take turns to practice, but when they come to the battlefield, they will not take turns, and if they go together when the time comes, they have not practiced together, how can they cooperate with tacit understanding? The fighter plane is fleeting, and without the slightest tacit understanding and cooperation, the chances of victory will be much less! What is sacrificed is human life!"
Chu Xiaoxi didn't understand that, she thought that she could divide the army into many groups and take turns to farm and breed. Wouldn't the army be self-sufficient?
But hearing what King Quan said, she didn't dare to insist anymore, after all, this era of cold weapons is still very different from her own era!
Seeing that Chu Xiaoxi was a little discouraged, King Quan slowed down his tone, "You can think of it, it's very good to let the soldiers in this camp be self-sufficient! Before, it wasn't that I didn't think about this, but often when the farm was busy, the soldiers were divided to farm nearby, but before the harvest, there was a war, often because of the war, those crops were not managed well, and the harvest was insignificant, but it delayed a lot of training time." So I stopped doing those things anymore!
Moreover, when the war breaks out, the soldiers will be mobilized, and they will plant crops here, and it may not be long before there is a war over there, and troops will be sent here to support, and some will stay in the support area, so the troops on this side will not be enough, where can they send people to take care of those crops?"
Hearing what King Quan said, Chu Xiaoxi felt that he was still thinking too simply, to put it bluntly, in this era, where there is a war, large-scale troops will be transferred, and there are only enough defensive troops left in the garrison, who would dare to farm? In case of an enemy attack, who can afford it?
Chu Xiaoxi was silent for a while, then raised his head again and asked, "There is another question, how are the disabled people in the war arranged?"
King Quan listened to Chu Xiaoxi's words and vaguely understood her intentions, "It's all about giving some silver and letting them go back to their hometowns!"
Chu Xiaoxi nodded, "I don't know if it's feasible or not, I think, those disabled people, after returning to their hometowns, I'm afraid that the little money they send is almost spent, right? After being disabled, they can't do heavy work or anything, and it will increase the burden on the family, and if I guess correctly, many people are afraid that they don't have any relatives at home, right?"
King Quan nodded.
Chu Xiaoxi said again: "Then can you give them a choice, you can voluntarily stay, set up a logistics department in Yuncheng, after the soldiers are disabled, they can't continue to fight, and those who are willing to stay in Yuncheng, let them stay, these people can cultivate and breed in the rear, they really can't move, they can also stay in the logistics department, and raise them in the camp!"
King Quan listened to Chu Xiaoxi's suggestion, and his eyes were full of approval, "The disabled soldiers are indeed not doing well in the end, this is indeed a pain in everyone's hearts! In this way, it solves the worries of the soldiers and may improve their morale." ”
After receiving the praise of the king of power, Chu Xiaoxi also became interested, "In fact, soldiers with family members, if they are disabled, they can also take their family members over and work in the logistics department, one person's strength may not be much, and he can't do anything at home, but if you bring everyone together, unite, and help each other, the final benefit will definitely be stronger than scattered all over the place, um!" To put it simply, 10 households, scattered all over the place, in a year, a household may only be able to create a profit of one tael of silver, adding up to ten taels, but if these 10 families are gathered together, maybe they can create an income of twenty taels of silver!
Listening to Chu Xiaoxi's words, King Quan also listened carefully, Chu Xiaoxi's words are easy to understand, it seems to be a very simple thing, but if you really want to think about it, it is not easy, after listening to these words, King Quan sighed, sure enough, "Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years!"
"Logistics Department! Your method is not bad! It just so happens that in the battle with Tengguo this time, there are really a lot of disabled soldiers in Yuncheng, and they are still recuperating from their injuries at the moment, and when their injuries are healed, they will no longer be able to go to the battlefield, and they will return to their hometowns, you can draw up a charter and ask them how many people are willing to stay at that time! When the time comes, leave these things to Ah Zhi to deal with!"
After King Quan finished speaking, he pointed to the manuscript paper in front of Chu Xiaoxi, "Having said so much, you haven't told me yet, what kind of blueprint is this organ in your hand!"
