Chapter 0123: Soup

There were still ten days left before the first day of the second lunar month, and Chen Mu asked the general department to hand over the battle plan.

When Chen Mu saw a complete and well-designed battle plan map, he sincerely felt the meticulousness of the clerks of the literati generals. Zhen Badao is a general of the Eighth Division, in fact, he didn't even come to the general department, he just hung the name of a general. Of course, this is not a false position, it belongs to one of the five senses of the division. But he was not born to sit in an office, and wandered between the post stations with his troops all day long. Since the second general began patrolling, the horse bandits in the southern Xinjiang region were terrified and did not dare to make a mistake again. This red-faced and long-bearded tiger second master is really unprovoked, and he is nicknamed "Thousands of Miles of Graves".

Chen Mu pointed to the plan and commented on it one by one, and made predictions on the measurement of the combat line, time calculation, food delivery, personnel rationing, combat consumption, and even the post-war casualties.

Chen Mu praised the meticulous work of the General Counsellor Department.

However, these are only a few plans, and it does not mean that the battle will definitely develop according to the contents of the plan.

The battlefield is changing rapidly, and the battle generals have to make rapid scheduling.

The old eunuch Xiang Dangyang said to Chen Mu, you can rest assured that you will go out to fight, the affairs of the family belong to me, and the old man can be regarded as a half-life soldier, and he has a lot of experience in the dispatch of people and horses.

How could Chen Mu rest assured that he would hand over his lifeline to others, so he arranged for the lame man to go to the division and serve as the deputy counselor. The former deputy staff of the 8th Division was transferred to the general of the 1st Brigade. Transferred at the same level, but it is a fictitious post to a regular post, one of the five officials of the first brigade. The deputy staff general was very satisfied, and happily ran to the brigade headquarters to take up his post.

Chen Mu planned to slowly empty the Eighth Division's General Headquarters.

After arranging the battle plan, Chen Mu was not in a hurry, so he took Xiaohuan and two servants to visit the street, mainly to see the economic construction of Dunhuang City after the military lent money.

After Chen Mu's encouragement, the population of Dunhuang City skyrocketed, from the original two or three thousand people, to nearly 10,000, Chen Mu felt that if this continued, Dunhuang City would become crowded. So he told Tang Liu, the prefect of Shazhou, that in the future, low-rise buildings will no longer be approved, and high-rise buildings will be built if they want to be built. Chen Mu planned to tear down all the original low-rise bungalows and build them into rows of three-story buildings, which could greatly increase the capacity of Dunhuang City.

Chen Mu's plan in mind is that Dunhuang City should at least reach the scale of 200,000 people and become the first city in eastern southern Xinjiang.

Chen Mu also planned to increase the post point outside the city near Dajingze, send troops to guard, and many people could live, but now this plan is too far away, and Chen Mu did not spend money on construction.

After there are more people, taxes will increase, in Chen Mu's words, this is called small profits but quick turnover.

"Xiaohuan, do you know what I saw when I first came here?"

"What is it?" Xiaohuan said mischievously: "You can't see a girl as well-behaved as Xiaohuan, right?" ”

Chen Mu ignored Xiaohuan and said to himself: "I can't even look at eggs in the market." But if you look at it now, every household is raising chickens. ”

Xiaohuan felt left out, suddenly became sour, and pouted: "But no one buys the chicken feed you produce." Everyone heard that it was made of stove ants, and they all felt disgusted. ”

Chen Mu smiled: "You must have heard from the cripple or Zhang Han, but I'm not worried that the feed won't be sold." When the chicks have grown up, the requirements for food have multiplied, and the chicken farmers will naturally go to buy feed. Besides, the feed I sell is very cheap, so why don't you buy it? If it's really disgusting, I think it's much better to change the name of the stove antling. ”

"Name change?"

"Hanxiang told me that in some places, the 'stove ants' are called 'Xiang Niangzi', and this name is very good."

"Really, I feel so much better when I hear this name."

Xiaohuan, this girl, observed her words and feelings, seized the opportunity to tease, and deliberately made Chen Mu happy.

It seems that she doesn't believe Chen Mu's words very much.

——

Chen Mu privately discussed with the lame man and others that the plan to build the temporary Fourth Brigade could be implemented, but at first he could not blatantly call the Fourth Brigade, not because he was worried about the gate valve, but because he was worried that the people would be disgusted, thinking that Dunhuang City would forcibly recruit soldiers and affect the reputation of the city.

Therefore, Chen Mu recruited workers in the name of recruiting "temporary engineers" by the military.

After the "temporary engineers" enter the "Temporary Fourth Brigade", they need to sign a labor contract with the unit for a period of six months. During the contract, it is necessary to follow the rules of the army to go to the mountains to cut wood and participate in the construction of the city.

When the contract expires, the "temporary sapper" can choose to renew the contract or choose to leave the company voluntarily, and it is not forced. However, those who take the initiative to renew the contract will receive higher labor remuneration.

In charge of food in the army, there is also a small amount of military pay to be paid. If it is a woman with a strong physique, she can also come and sign a contract. Chen Mu once said: Who said that women are not as good as men, women can hold up half the sky. Let's contribute to the construction of a beautiful Dunhuang and build our own home together!

The women loved to listen to these words and took an active part in the work to increase the labor force of the Fourth Brigade.

Chen Mu thought in his heart: Pour some chicken soup on them, it really works.

Hanxiang said that Uncle Chen Mu's brain is not the same as that of ordinary people, he was born in Luoyang, but his speech is very different from that of Luoyang.

As a native of Luoyang, Hanxiang sometimes couldn't understand some of the terms in Chen Mu's mouth, and many of Chen Mu's plans sounded mysterious and mysterious, which made Hanxiang feel bottomless.

However, after a period of operation, it was discovered that there were many wonderful points in Chen Mu's original arrangement. Sometimes it's even wonderful.

Miss Hanxiang was deeply impressed.

Although Chen Mu also had times of failure.

For example, the loans that have been released have already had bad debts. This incident made Miss Hanxiang annoyed, but Chen Mu and Han Jianniang, who was in charge of loans, were very arrogant all day long, as if they were nothing.

And that Han Jianniang is really a powerful character, sometimes she takes soldiers to ask for accounts, but if she encounters someone who dares to cheat, it is really a fight to the death. This is an action of the military, and the officials of the government do not dare to take care of it at all.

Fortunately, those soldiers were all transferred from the generals by Hanxiang with the "Ten Husband Order", and Han Jianniang did not have military power at this time, otherwise Hanxiang was really a little afraid of this spicy woman.

The people of the Liang Dynasty said that they were empty years, just after the end of the year, and Hanxiang was already sixteen.

The grass began to grow in the eldest girl's heart, and there was no match in front of her mother.

Yu Linglong has already guessed the girl's thoughts, so she went to the lame man and asked the lame man if he wanted to find a matchmaker or something.

The lame man said, it didn't take long for our family to reunite, so what's the hurry, let's talk about it in two years.

Yu Linglong knows that the lame man is a good face, after all, she is a woman on her side, so it is not good to speak first.

But Chen Mu is also strange, he is eighteen years old, and it is reasonable to say that he should be at the age of thinking at night, but he seems to be pure in heart and has few desires, like an ascetic who crows himself all day long.

Obviously, there are many beautiful women around him, but he can clean himself.

It's really doubtful that this dragon son has some health problems.

On this day, Yu Linglong asked Hanxiang to invite Chen Mu to his home for wine, and also prepared a few special dishes for Chen Mu.

Chen Mu couldn't refuse, so he followed Hanxiang home.

In fact, the lame man's house is in the backyard of the division headquarters, where it is safe and very close.

Treating these important people, Chen Mu is quite attentive.

"Our lame man's legs and feet are inconvenient, and I don't know when he will come back, so let's start eating first." Yu Linglong said with a smile.

Chen Mu raised his eyebrows: "I'm afraid that's not good, Brother Arita has worked hard for a day, let him eat leftovers, I can't bear it." ”

Starting to chat, Yu Linglong put on a face and asked Chen Mu a few very private questions.

Chen Mu's heart beat wildly when he was asked, and he only replied: "My mother said before that you are not allowed to be a negative man like your father, so I am not close to women." ”
