Chapter 138: Winter

For the expansion of the army, the most joyful are the samurai who lead the troops, and naturally happily incorporate the selected young men into the troops, and the logistics paperwork that was originally the most distressed also grinned this time.

There is no way, after the mining village is destroyed, the seizure is too rich, if it is not for the inventory of materials, there is no way to believe that the mining village is so rich.

First of all, there are more than 50,000 yuan! This is because only the family property and village property of the few leaders who were killed by their own people were confiscated, and if the entire village is copied, I am afraid it will definitely be more than 100,000 yuan!

More than 20,000 stone of grain! 100,000 catties of jerky! 30,000 catties of dried radish! A thousand stone of salt! 3,000 barrels of oil, all of which are 50 pounds! 5,000 furs, 3,000 pieces of cloth, and more than 300 carts! More than 20 carriages! More than 1,000 horses! More than 300 cows! There are even more other messy sundries, and there are tens of thousands of candles, so you can know how many other sundries there are.

When the inventory was counted, the clerical eyes directly popped out, is this the stock that a village should have? Even Ling Wucheng didn't know if there were so many varieties of materials and such a huge inventory!

Similarly, there are more than 2,000 stones of pig iron and 3,000 catties of refined iron in the inventory! According to the inventory habits of the mining village, this amount should be less, and it is estimated that it was smelted before the arrival of winter, and the previous ones should have been sold.

But there is a catch here that makes the samurai happy, and that is 3,000 fine spears! A thousand fine samurai * swords! 500 pieces of fine iron armor! What's even better is a hundred bows with one stone power! A thousand bundles of arrows!

The equipment was properly arranged, without the slightest hint of departure, but it was placed at the very edge of the storehouse, apparently ready to arm the miners and blacksmiths at any time!

The warriors who came to their senses at this time were all in a cold sweat, if they were to follow what they thought, after the New Year, they would come to attack the mining village with swagger, after all, they thought that thousands of dragon soldiers were very awesome, wouldn't it be easy to fight this mining village?

If you really want to do this, you will definitely be beaten by these armed miners! That is, fortunately, the owner of his own family is bullish, he will fight when he says, and before the New Year, he attacked in the snow and occupied the mining village at once, not only did he have no loss, but also captured such a sumptuous harvest!

For these weapons, Zhao Hu naturally immediately asked everyone under his command to change their clothes, the veterans, whether they were samurai or not, each had a samurai * sword, and then the samurai were all armor and equipment, and the recruits had to have a spear in their hands.

Then, Zhao Hu left a batch of food and other materials, two hundred veterans and matching warriors to garrison, and a ticket of government affairs and logistics clerks to manage the affairs of the mining village, and he led the Shenlong army, which had doubled in number, to drive the ox carts and carriages full of supplies, and braved the wind and snow to rush towards Linhe City.

Zhao Hu and his people took a lot of effort to return to Linhe City, but this time those secret agents and the people in the whole city couldn't help but be dumbfounded, who would have thought that the Zhao family's entire army would come back so quickly in the snow?

And it is even more unimaginable that when he returned, not only did the number of troops directly double, but all the equipment actually became more sophisticated.

What's even more excessive is that there are so many wagons and ox carts and they are full of supplies, what is going on? Do you want to destroy a monster's lair?

Seeing that the Shenlong Army returned to Linhe City, and completely settled down after a period of noise, the spies all went back to rest with a sigh of relief, it seems that the Zhao family is not going to do anything in this winter.

And the hard-pressed Donghai County spies could only brave the wind and snow again to rush out to catch up with the spies sent before. I have to rush back to report the news that the Zhao family has not started a war against Donghai County, otherwise if we make a big move in this winter, Donghai County will not have to survive next year!

As the days go by, the weather is getting colder and colder, and if you change to someone else, you must be very sad, but Zhao Hu's mining village has a large amount of coal, and it is not easy to get a coal stove, as long as you pay attention to the problem of gas poisoning, then there is nothing, not only can you have a fire source at room temperature, but you can also stew things at any time, as for the water source? There is so much snow outside, and it is enough to cook for half a day when he comes back with a pot.

Moreover, the coal stove is a simple thing that is covered with mud and mud inside, so the generous Zhao Hu directly gave it to the people of the territory.

Of course, the iron clips that make the briquettes. Zhao Hu, who has a blacksmith, is not a difficult task, and the briquettes are sold cheaply, 2 pennies. This is still the price of home delivery.

As for those who go out to deliver briquettes in a snowstorm, how can they be busy in the wind and snow? It's simple, a coal stove is piled up on the board car, a pot is on the shelf, and the ginger soup is hot and ready to drink.

Then have a portable stove that you can keep warm with soup or burning coal. Finally, a cape, a hat, boots, and gloves. These people who go out in the snow will never be left hungry in the cold.

Needless to say, as soon as this coal stove came out. The fire pond in the entire Zhao family's home has become this thing, but naturally it will not be placed in the center of the home, next to the window or the door. After all, the smoke pipe doesn't need to be that long. Of course. Wealthy cattle can naturally put the coal stove in the position of the fire pit, and the smoke pipe can directly poke out of the house.

Because Zhao Hu was not happy to hide at home all winter, he made coal stoves and briquettes, which naturally made the people who originally didn't go out start to go out with convenient stoves to find things to do.

In fact, there is nothing to do in the winter, one is to deliver coal stoves and briquettes to the door, and the other is to build coal stoves, heaters, briquette clips, and make briquettes. But it's also an income, and it's better than staying at home all the time. You can't make any money, can you?

Similarly, Zhao Hu also sent the cloth from the stock to the people, not to them. Instead, they let them make these cloths into samurai uniforms, flags, and so on, and of course, furs.

As for the mining village? They can't be mined, but they have stored minerals, so the blacksmiths can continue to craft weapons and armor.

Anyway, Zhao Hu didn't let the people have nothing to do all winter, and the people were like this. This is especially true of the samurai clerks, who are responsible for the situation of the entire territory. If the house is collapsed by snow, someone has to be led to clean it up, and where the gas is poisoned, it has to be disposed of.

And the logistics documents are not to mention, the affairs that Zhao Hu ordered before are all related to the logistics documents. As for the army of two thousand people? I didn't say it, I train in the snow every day, anyway, I'm not afraid of sweating or getting dirty, and I'm not afraid of getting sick with a cold. Medicinal materials or something, Zhao Hu has long purchased a large number of hoards, and with coal stoves and briquettes, he is afraid that there will be no hot water for bathing?

In Zhao Hu's place, after breakfast, he cleared the snow for Linhe City, and then after lunch, he sweated for training, and Zhao Hu didn't go to the queue or anything. After all, it's snowy, and you're not trying to kill people by standing still in a queue. After this sweating exercise, that is, drink ginger soup first, and then take a hot bath, the army has a super giant coal stove, and the hot water boiled directly into the pool, just like soaking in a hot spring.

That is, Zhao Hu has no hot springs in this place, otherwise he would have dragged the troops to the vicinity of the hot springs for training.

After washing the clothes, you can smoke and dry them with the heat of the coal stove, so you don't have to worry about the clothes being difficult to dry.

After dinner, before it gets dark, we will carry out cultural education, and when it gets dark, we will go to bed, and so on day after day.

Although the consumption is huge, this consumption is nothing to Zhao Hu, for Zhao Hu, it is the best effect to let these soldiers not hoard meat in winter, let them maintain their training intensity at all times, and always maintain the standard of the army.

That is to say, Zhao Hu's treatment, big fish and meat are all you can eat, hot water and ginger soup are available at any time, and these two thousand soldiers can still train with a certain degree of strength in this winter when everything is shrinking and cats are winter.

Because Zhao Hu's training has always been in Linhe City, and the people who live in Linhe City, in addition to the samurai and soldiers, are either the families of the samurai, or those servants, and there will be no outsiders coming in at all, so for a whole winter, no outsider found that the Shenlong soldiers actually trained for a whole winter!

This is not surprising, first of all, it is impossible for the spy to run into Linhe City for the time being, and according to the habits of this world, in the snowy winter, everyone is cats in winter, who the fuck can eat and run out!

In these years, almost all the family forces have shrunk into their homes and are busy making people! So as long as the spies don't see any troops out of the city, then they don't need to care, they don't have enough funds, and they have to reduce their activities to survive this winter!

Soldiers are trained so hard, let alone powerful samurai.

I have to say this, didn't Zhao Hu get a lot of cash from the mining village? Anyway, there is no place to use a lot of money in this winter, so I directly let all the warriors above five stones go to the Tianlan Taoist Temple to learn power.

Of course, in order to ensure the privilege of the class, the Zhixing samurai under ten stone can only learn one move, the samurai under fifty stone can only learn two moves, those below 100 stone can only learn three moves, those below 200 stone can learn four moves, and more than 200 stone.

Even now, there are only about a dozen warriors with more than 100 stones, and the most powerful Wang Yong has not yet reached 200 stones. However, they were also full of joy, they were the first samurai with power before, and now they were the first samurai with four powers.
