In addition, one person and four training uniforms, a cotton coat, cotton hats, cotton gloves, sea soul shirts, socks, calf nose and so on...... This one costs ten taels of silver, which is still the internal wholesale price. If you go to the market to purchase a single piece, you can't beat fifteen taels!

Jin Ke felt that Gongzi spent too much money on police officers, but Zhao Hao said that we are taking the route of few and elite soldiers, so we should have the appearance of elite soldiers.

Thinking about the two or three hundred thousand taels of Galen ships, it doesn't seem to be too expensive to purchase them......

In fact, it is also okay, because the bulk of the cost is mainly on police robes, belts and leather boots, and these three soldiers can't wear them a few times a month, and the loss is not much. The police officers cherished wearing a little bit for five or six years, and there was no problem at all.

When they really consume clothes at sea, in combat, in training, and in military camp life, they all wear the 'coast guard training uniform' that is not good-looking and very cheap.

However, this clothes, known as the 'coast guard training uniform', are actually not ordinary. In terms of style, this training uniform is similar to the middle coat and pants worn by the wealthy, so it is also jokingly called 'pajamas worn outside' by seafarers, but it is indeed convenient to climb up and down on the ship without worrying about where the hem is hooked.

The pants are also tucked into the boots, which is very neat, and it also avoids the accident of the trousers being stepped on and hanging.

Moreover, there is also a secret opening on the left and right abdomen of the jacket, and a large pocket is sewn inside, which is very convenient for holding some small pieces and can free your hands.

The most commendable thing is their training boots, which are not only made of strong materials and meticulous workmanship, but also have a piece of patterned Eucommia rubber nailed to the forefoot and back heel of the sole.

The officers quickly realized the benefits of this thing, not only did it make the soles more durable, but they also made them slip-resistant, making it easy to run on wet decks and fall easily.

Moreover, the tip of the training cloth boots is also wrapped with a crescent-shaped piece of iron, so that when carrying cannonballs or other heavy objects, when accidentally hitting the foot, it can protect the toes of the police officer - in the Age of Discovery, the most non-combat attrition on ships is caused by foot injuries, just as the most casualties in battle are caused by the splashing of wood chips, which is as incredible but true.

Although these improvements are small, they can really help the coast guards, reduce their chance of being injured, and let the police officers really feel what Zhao Gongzi means to 'love soldiers like sons'.

~~

Zhao Gongzi talked with the officers with a relieved face, asking them what their opinions were on the newly issued costumes and what they thought about the ship?

In front of the captain and the captain, the officers didn't dare to squeak even if they had opinions, so they expressed their satisfaction. If they insist on criticizing the leaders, it means that the leaders are working too hard and not paying attention to rest......

Zhao Gongzi was bored for a while, the Chinese people are really like birds, no matter which dynasty. Why don't you go and see something that can't speak.

"Let's go down and have a look." Zhao Hao smiled and pointed to the staircase leading to the bottom of the deck. It's a shame to say that whether it was the previous Science or Chen Huaixiu's Pingjiang, he thought it was black and smelly under the deck, and he never went down. Hearing that there are four layers of space under the deck of this 101 ship, Zhao Gongzi finally became interested.

Go down the stairs to the negative floor, this floor is a little more than one meter seven or five high, and Zhao Gongzi has to hunch his waist to not touch his head...... It's not that he's tall, it's mainly that heels and buns are tall.

It's really painful to be more than 1.8 meters tall like Brother Gao...... You have to be a cat the whole time.

However, most of the soldiers were generally malnourished when they were young, and their height was not as good as Zhao Gongzi. Most of them are around 1.6 meters, so although it feels cramped, they can still make do with it.

The bigger problem is the darkness and the lack of air flow than crampedness. Zhao Hao felt that the prison where Xu Wei lived at the beginning was also brighter than here, and the air was better than here.

No way, if it is a merchant ship or a cargo ship, you can also open a few portholes in the bulkhead to ventilate and transmit light. But this is a warship that is all about safety. If the porthole is opened, what should I do if the enemy throws a canister of fire oil into it when the porthole is opened? Moreover, the ship needs to be fireproof, and there are no torches, only a few ship lights hanging on the long bulkhead, which are glowing dimly.

The ship's lamps contain water, which basically goes out when they fall to the ground. But for safety, the brightness of this thing is limited.

Zhao Hao thought of it in an instant, and he could purchase a batch of equipment to ventilate the coal kiln from Xishan Company to solve the problem of turbid air, but he could only talk about it next time.

This floor is where middle and lower-ranking police officers and police officers live. Zeng Yi obviously didn't pay attention to the accommodation conditions of his subordinates, and it used to be a cargo warehouse in every cabin here. Sailors sleep on the deck in the summer when the weather is fine, and the rest of the night in the cargo hold on this floor, rope piles, canvas piles, cargo boxes are their natural beds, so they have a high incidence of eczema and other skin diseases.

And when the sailor falls asleep, he will roll with the ups and downs of the waves, and some of the unlucky ones can even break their necks and die with a whimper.

In fact, Zeng Yi cannot be blamed, because this is also the case for European seafarers. It wasn't until they later introduced hammocks from the Indians that the sailors had a bed, at least fewer skin diseases, and no need to worry about rolling around after falling asleep.

Zhao Gongzi made a hammock at the beginning of the year, and Elder Niu, who was in charge of shipbuilding, tried it and really worked well, so he installed it on all the ships.

This Wan Hu Wuwei ship is no exception, after it arrived at the Jiangnan Shipyard, Elder Niu led people to renovate, and separated this cabin into thirty rooms of different sizes. There are two police officers and six police officers, all of whom are equipped with hammocks, wardrobes and lockers, and ship lights are installed in each room, and the conditions are greatly improved.

But six people were crammed into a small room of fifteen square meters and one meter seven high, and Zhao Hao felt that it was still very choking.

But the accommodation problem of the sailors can't be solved in three hundred years, and Zhao Gongzi can do it now.

However, what made Zhao Hao a little ashamed was that the police officers seemed to be very satisfied with the current accommodation conditions. In particular, the former sailors of the Sand Boat Gang are full of praise, and some even call it the '101 Hotel'. I really don't know how bad the previous conditions will be?

And you can see it through the dim light, and the housekeeping in each cabin is kept very tidy. Everything was where it was supposed to be, the hammocks were all on the walls, there was no clutter on the floor, even the wooden walls were polished.

Strict requirements for internal affairs to nitpicking, and even some deliberately tossing police officers, but it is a good way to shape military discipline and execution. The so-called 'People's Liberation Army quilts, US military shoes, and French shirts with fourteen folds' are all based on this truth.

In fact, the first to start strict internal affairs was the Royal Navy. Not out of some aristocratic mentality, but for the sake of maintaining public and personal hygiene on board when going out to sea. This is important because there are often rodents on board, as well as lice, bed bugs, fleas, etc., which are more annoying than rats, and various diseases such as spotting, typhoid, and plague are spreading, resulting in non-combat attrition, and even directly decapitating the battleship.

The captain found that the best way to deal with these pests was to order the sailors to maintain personal hygiene on board. In addition to daily hygiene, they also carry out regular cleaning, clean up household garbage, discharge sewage from the bilge, and sprinkle lime and sulfur powder everywhere to reduce the chance of infectious diseases.

After visiting the negative floor of the soldiers' accommodation, it was even more difficult to go down to the next floor. Because the lower three floors do not have direct access to the deck, but are separated by partitions to the cellar-like watertight cabins. However, the advantage of this is that one or two cabins are leaked, and there is no danger of sinking the ship.

Lift the covers on the ground on the negative floor, revealing the first cabin. There are ammunition compartments, there are tool compartments, but also spare parts compartments, and most importantly, food compartments.

Haier Ge told Zhao Hao that although this was an offshore voyage, considering the many uncertainties of the battle, there was no definite supply port in Japan, and the supplies were still prepared according to the standard of a one-month voyage.

One of the warehouses was filled with various grains such as rice, flour, and millet. A warehouse is filled with cured meats, smoked fish, hams, pickles and other shelf-stable non-staple foods. There is also a warehouse filled with winter melons, white radish, carrots, cabbage and other shelf-stable vegetables.

There is also a food warehouse, which is actually filled with a stack of futon-sized food, Zhao Hao picked one up and leaned under the lamp to see clearly, it turned out to be my country's traditional military food - pot helmet.

"The sea is often high and the waves are fast, and the guys don't dare to make fires, so they have to prepare more dry food, so they can't let everyone go hungry." Helgo explained.

"Well, that makes sense." Zhao Hao nodded, and said in his heart that he could also be used as a shield at a critical moment.

As for the fresh fruits, vegetables and meat that were just delivered today, they were all sent to the bunker on the lower bow of the ship. In the first few days of going to sea, the food of the sailors was always the best, not only rich in variety, but also open to supply. Because these things will rot in a few days, it is better to eat them all than to waste them.

The negative three floors are all tanks for fresh water. Everyone knows that on the sea, drinking water is much more important than food, and if the water is cut off or polluted, the whole ship will not be far from being wiped out. However, if fresh water is stored in the tank for a maximum of half a month, it will be covered with green moss, breeding water insects, and emitting an unpleasant sewer smell. Not only is it unpleasant, but it can also easily cause diarrhea and dysentery.

The experience of the Sand Boat Gang is to boil the water before loading it into the boat, and when you drink it, boil it and add some tea and salt, and the condition will be much better. However, the Sand Boat Gang is active in inland rivers and offshore waters, and I don't know if this experience can be effective in the open ocean.

Fortunately, going to Japan here is also considered offshore, and I dare not say that there is no shortage of fresh water.

Below the tank are the negative four floors, which are all filled with ballast stones to prevent the warship from shaking sharply or even capsizing when the wind and waves and the cannon is fired.
