This newly formed dual-use fleet can be composed of clippers and cargo ships.

The crew is mainly composed of fishermen, boatmen, and slender men who are familiar with the big river, plus some soldiers with good water quality.

They regularly carry out crossbow and water combat training, all of which are treated according to the military cantonment.

This plan can reserve some talent now, and the concrete army will be formed next spring or later.

Tong Yuan and Geng Qing exchanged opinions, and called the team leader and Feng Bin of the slender man's team.

It has entered the winter, but the slender men are still wearing a tattered kudzu cloth coat, and the scarves on their heads are also tattered. After some visits, Tong Yuan asked, "You guys are pulling fiber for many boats, you should be familiar with the situation on this section of the river, right?"

The two have lived by this river for decades, so they are naturally more familiar. However, the rate of that team was more for Caisangjin and going north, and slightly less downstream.

Due to his older age, Feng Bin is a treasure for the section from Hukou to Longmen, and even the skills of boating in the rapids are perfect, but it is not convenient to pull the fiber for a long time if he hurts his foot.

Tong Yuan and Geng Qing glanced at each other, nodded, and Geng Qing introduced the matter of organizing the military tun to operate the fleet, and planned to let Feng Bin select fifty good boaters and fiber pullers on the river in Beiqu County, especially those who are proficient in water and familiar with the big river, who will be the backbone of the fleet in the future.

Of course, Feng Bin knows Juntun and Mintun these days, and he and many slender men now belong to Mintun, so that his family can have enough to eat, and in addition, he will distribute some money according to the quantity and strength.

I don't know how much better these days are than in the past. His dream of development is to go further and enter the military tun.

At this time, thinking that life had become better like this, even if he was nearly forty years old, he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and said seriously:

"Please rest assured that the general and the army have lived by the river for so many years, and they will definitely achieve something so that this fleet has the best crew."

Tong Yuan replied: "Very good! I will also make the two sides of the river develop better, recover the Han land that has fallen in the north, and be worthy of your support. ”

On this day, Tong Yuan and his entourage specially inspected the production of each team in Caisangjin, and found that after the people joined the tunhu, because the days became better and they had better expectations for the future, most people were highly motivated.

However, there are also a few households that do not actively produce the food they are allocated. Although the commander and captain of the management told them that they were afraid that the distribution would be reduced, and there was no possibility of upward mobility, they were still unmoved.

The tun chief asked Tong Yuan if he wanted to stop distributing these typical stops to them, and Tong Yuan was not in a hurry, and said:

"Since I'm here today, let's conduct research and talk about it, and if the situation is worse, it's not too late to deal with it like this." He didn't let the tun chief reveal his identity, but just came to investigate as an ordinary passing soldier.

Visiting these concentrated hunting mountains, I found that there are indeed many kinds of wild animals here, such as wild boars, sika deer, roe deer, wolves, badgers, etc., in addition to occasional encounters with black bears and leopards.

In addition to meat, the fur of these prey animals is more valuable and useful, and is a major product here.

However, due to years of chaotic warfare, there are only a few strong laborers in the area, and most of the families who do not actively participate are reluctant to let the only men into the mountains.

Because hunting often involves several days of hunting in the mountains, and the beasts are fierce, they are likely to encounter danger.

So it's better to eat less at home and be safer.

And after inquiry, it was found that the organization of the hunting team was relatively simple, basically a few old hunters led the strong laborers into the mountains in batches, and the women repaired tools and sewed furs, and they were not willing to teach skills to the more hand-made people.

In general, the division of labor and cooperation is relatively primitive, resulting in some families not being good at hunting or handling furs, and they will be excluded and criticized.

Tong Yuan asked Geng Qing: "Uncle Lang, how do you think this situation is better?"

Geng Qing followed Tong Yuan and inquired and found that the problem was not that these households were lazy, but that there were specific situations. He didn't have a good idea, so he could only reply: "So it seems that we should start with those few companies and let them participate in some other safer production?"

Tong Yuan thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Oh, I've been thinking about the division of labor, why didn't I think of increasing their skills a little." Uncle Lang reminded him too timely. ”

Geng Qing was still confused, and he didn't know what to do. Tong Yuan said: "Since the threshold for hunting and making furs is high, why not start teaching and training?"

"These skilled households can carry out mentoring and experience transfer every 10 days. If they are well taught and rewarded for their upward mobility and good skills, they can also take up the position of instructor in the county and carry out regular training without leaving production. ”

Geng Qing thought to himself, isn't this similar to the ability to teach in the warrior clan and the army? In many areas, if there are management and substantive incentives, properly implemented in combination with the actual situation, it can be a good way to drive others to participate. Return:

"Ordinary people always look for a solution to a problem, but they often don't know where to start. The general dealt with it from the perspective of the whole and development, just like a cook to solve a cow, and suddenly became enlightened. ”

Tong Yuan blushed a little when he was praised, and said: "This is just an idea at present, and it depends on the specific exploration and implementation." If you can do a good job of passing on the help, for both the teacher and the learner have life, spirit and other benefits, I think you can let the tun and the team give support, but don't arrange it directly, let each household explore. I believe that there will be people who have done well, and these people are worthy of our publicity and appointment. ”

Geng Qing also felt very good, if it was directly handed over to the tun to arrange it was really a bit of an order, according to what the general said, let them explore from production, and then give encouragement and support to the tun and the team is not only low-cost, but also more real and effective.

Therefore, according to this method, they specially arranged for the tun chiefs and captains of the mulberry to support those who passed on their experience, and encouraged those who were not good at related production to participate in learning skills.

It is sufficient to adopt a more severe reduction in distribution to those stubborn elements who are neither good at production nor have much learning.

After arranging, the night was spent in Caisangjin. As the sun sets, Tong Yuan looks at the boats on the river, one by one back to the port to rest, this section of the Yellow River will not freeze at this time, the air is full of a white gull-like water bird, or flying around the ferry, or directly falling on the water to float.

He watched the sunset just like this little by little into the mountains on the other side of the river, and couldn't help but sigh that it was really completely different from the scenery of his hometown, and this experience was indescribable.

Unfortunately, the other side of the river is now the territory of the Huns, and although they nominally obey the Han and trade with themselves, they must soon take back these lost territories.

Next year, we will be able to publicize, mobilize, and recruit talents on a larger scale, and I hope that talents with ambition, ability, and willingness to conquer the lost land of the Han can be gathered......

Early in the morning of the second day, the group passed through Hukou Mountain to watch the waterfall.

At this time, it has begun to get cold, a small number of areas have begun to freeze, the surging river rushes down, and the splashing waves cross and lap on the rocks on both sides to form wisps of waterfall ice sculptures, like a fairy tale fairyland descending to the earth, showing the wonder of the envy of the gods to the mortal world.

A moment later, the warm sunlight of the hour sprinkled through the soaring clouds and mist stirred up by the river, and a rainbow bridge was woven to connect the ice sculptures on both sides. The wisps of ice sculptures hanging upside down look like a beautiful woman combing her hair from a distance, crystal clear, with a unique shape, which makes people obsessed.

Zhang Lu looked at this scene and sighed to the sky: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable...... Where is my teacher now? The disciple followed the general to stabilize the people's livelihood, and finally worthy of the master's teachings. ”

Tong Yuan's heart is also beautiful, the base camp of the Dreadnought Army he selected is so close to the Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River is quite cool, he secretly promised to develop and protect the Qin and Jin lands on both sides of the Yellow River, so that they can continue their glory in history.

After leaving this beautiful scenery in the world, he twisted the road in the mountains, stopped and stopped, and arrived at the county seat of Beiqu County when it was nearly dark.

Beiqu County is located in the northeast of Hedong County, the county is deep into the south of Luliang Mountain, the county is almost all mountainous, and it is far away from other counties in the Jinnan Plain.

This place is known as the "Qin-Jin thoroughfare", Caisangjin is an important ferry port on the Yellow River, the western part of the county sticks to the Yellow River and faces each other across the river from the place called Northern Shaanxi in later generations. If it develops well, it will be a treasure land with a stable life, strategic rush, and abundant specialties in the future.

Beiqu County is small, and there is only a county magistrate without a county order. According to the county magistrate, at present, the county has arranged a total of 500 households in Juntun and Mintun, and there are about 7,000 local residents.

Due to the large number of mountainous areas, the grain is mainly grown millet, that is, the rhubarb rice that was eaten slightly more in Shanxi, Shaanxi Province in later generations. Tong Yuan couldn't figure out what it was at all, but after eating a few times the yellow and big sticky cake, he left a deep impression, and he was really a little unaccustomed to it.

The proportion of livestock here is relatively high, and it is more convenient to raise sheep and sheep in the mountainous areas, and many of the main mountain roads are raised by herdsmen and goats, stepping out day by day.

In addition to sheep, Juntun also raised a lot of donkeys and horses adapted to the mountains, these horses are not like the big horses on the grassland, with slender limbs and shoulder heights close to human height. Rather, he has short but thick legs, and his shoulder height is only six feet, but he is good at climbing with weights, and uses a special saddle that is more used in Jindi, and can ride in the northern mountains for a long time.

After hearing this, Tong Yuan became interested in mountain horses and special saddles. Saddles have appeared in this era, but they are mainly cushions or wood, not yet Takahashi saddles.

However, it is already good to have this foundation, and they can explore the right saddle on their own in the future.

He was satisfied that Beiqu County was able to develop a suitable type of economy according to the specific environment.

On the contrary, if you insist on planting wheat in the water-rich areas of the plains, the actual effect is probably not good. He would also make a note of the officials in the area, lest they continue to harm the people and even cause other places to follow suit.

Coming from later generations, he certainly knew that Cao Cao's Tuntian was extraordinary, providing the material, personnel, and organizational basis for the unification of the north and beyond.
