"That...... Sir Li, I don't know how much rent you need to pay to rent your cattle? ”

At this moment, an old man with a cigarette pouch stood up and asked cautiously.

Farming is a big deal, and if you work a day earlier, you can reclaim more land, so that you can harvest more grain, but I just hope that this Chief Li will not charge too high a rent.

Hearing the people ask this, a huge question mark suddenly appeared in Li Huan's head, and he turned his head and asked Changfeng on the side in confusion:

"How much rent does our Eighth Route Army collect for renting out cattle and horses?"

Changfeng, this guy scratched his head, his eyes were also a little confused, he shook his head, and said:

"I don't know!"

Syllable~

"What do you want?" Li Huan kicked Changfeng into the stable, and fell into the dog and ate.

"Zhao Lao Liu, come and talk about it!" You also pointed to Zhao Lao Liu next to him and asked, and the latter also shook his head, saying that he didn't know, he was just a soldier, how could he know so many things.

Hu Bazi shook his head when he saw Li Huan looking at him, he was also a combat soldier and didn't understand this matter.

Seeing this, Li Huan scratched his head a little irritably, saw Changfeng come over and arched him into the stable, then sat on the stone pier next to him and thought about it, and then a light bulb appeared on his head, and said happily to the people in front of him:

"There are two beads of these cattle and horses in the outside of our Eighth Route Army, and the first one is that you are responsible for feeding them, even when you are not busy farming!"

"There is no problem with this, we still have some hay at home, and the grass is about to grow in the past month, so we won't starve these cows and horses!"

The old man patted his chest and said that there was nothing wrong with this one, let Li Huan say the second one.

"The second rule is simple, that is, I hope that when you are not busy farming, you can help us do something for the Eighth Route Army, just like you help us make grenades or dig coal.

Of course, we'll give you some food or money as a reward, what do you think? ”

When everyone heard this, they were stunned instantly, which made Li Huan a little confused, could it be that the common people thought there were too many things.

Who knew that after a few seconds, the old man in front of him grabbed Li Huan's sleeve and asked excitedly:

"That's it?"

"That's it, otherwise what else would you want?"

Li Huan was also a little scared, this old man was trembling like sifting chaff, it couldn't be a heart attacker, if something happened in front of him at that time, would he be criticized?

No, no, let's let this old man pull Changfeng's sleeves, Changfeng has an honest face, there should be no problem!

"Living Bodhisattva!"

The old man wanted to kneel for Li Huan on the spot, and Li Huan was so frightened that he hurriedly grabbed him, what the hell is this called?

"Don't worry, Chief Li, we promise that we won't starve those cattle and horses, and as long as we are free, we will help the Eighth Route Army do things, and we don't need to pay for anything, as long as we use these cows!"

Rent public cattle and horses for free, this kind of thing is not a few things within a radius of hundreds of miles, those landlords and old wealth are eager to take out your heart, liver and lungs, and the people who are squeezed are miserable.

Hearing this, Li Huan was a little incomprehensible, obviously he was a tenant of his own family, if he couldn't plant the land, then he wouldn't be able to collect the rent, why did these landlords still squeeze so hard?

Isn't it good to give it to the common people for free?

Well, he couldn't figure out the brain circuits of those landlords and old money, but that didn't hinder his plans.

The common people left one by one with oxen, mules and camels, and when they left, they did not forget to look at the Eighth Route Army with grateful eyes, they had never encountered such a good army before.

As for the militia in Chen Village, they were even more excited, they joined the Eighth Route Army is right, the captain not only did not collect rent, but also gave them other tools for free, this time the family's land will not be barren, and the family's rations are finally settled.

Just after the common people took away all the cattle, sheep and livestock, Zhao Lao Liu also counted their seizures this time.

"Captain, we have captured a total of 123 rifles, 8 pistols, 4 light machine guns, 4 submachine guns, as well as a number of grenades and ammunition!

In addition, we have also grabbed ninety-five war horses this time, all of them are good horses, much stronger than those horses! ”

Horses, Li Huan also likes to call camel horses, they are not war horses, they are not fast, they are okay to pull carriages, but if they go to the battlefield to fight, it will be dwarfed.

But war horses are different, and war horses can definitely be considered a strategic resource in this era, because they can improve the mobility of troops.

Moreover, the cavalry slashing and killing the infantry on a certain terrain is just like cutting melons, and the cavalry of these puppet armies and devils often causes serious trouble to the Eighth Route Army.

When fighting the Eighth Route Army, it can cause great casualties to the Eighth Route Army, and when the Eighth Route Army is entangled with troops and wants to counterattack, these people have long since run away.

"Horses are good horses, but we can't afford them!"

Li Huan looked at the nearly 100 war horses and was a little worried, after all, the logistics of the war horses was a huge problem.

"Li Huan, why can't we afford it? It's a big deal to let the people help drag the war horses to the fields to graze, there are so many children in the village, just let them help! ”

"That's right, Li Huan, it just so happens that the grass is going to grow in the near future, and we still have the ability to raise these war horses!"

Zhao Laoliu and Hu Bazi were also nodding their heads, they had long wanted to raise a war horse, so that the mobility could be accelerated, and they would not be very tired when marching urgently.

But when they finished speaking, Li Huan looked at them like a stupid fork.

"Captain, why are you looking at us like that, aren't we right?"

Hu Bazi was a little hairy by Li Huan's staring, so he simply raised the question directly.

"Of course not!" Li Huan simply denied it.

He used to think the same way, but since he learned the cavalry skills, he understands that special war horses are not raised like that at all!

"You know a hammer, the so-called three soldiers on a war horse, it's okay for you to let those ordinary cattle and camels and horses graze, you actually want these war horses to graze too, if the regiment commander knows, he will probably beat you into pigs' heads!"

Li Huan didn't mean that war horses can't eat grass, but that they also needed other food to raise war horses.

"One horse and three soldiers, what do you mean?"

Changfeng scratched his scalp with some doubts, he had never ridden a horse, he walked wherever he went, at most he sat in a broken carriage, and he was a little sicksick last time Li Huan drove a truck.

"That is, the grain that feeds one horse can feed three warriors, understand?"

Hearing this, the three of them looked at Li Huan in front of them in shock, they had never been a groom, and they really didn't know.

"But didn't the regiment commander and their war horses all eat grass before?" Changfeng asked a little strangely, he had helped Liu Fang's horse feed grass before.

"Bullshit, that's because the regiment commander is so poor that he has less food for the war horses!"
