The military robe is worn every day during the exercise, and the rest of the queue training and personal skills training are changed into training uniforms, and those who have received the new uniforms will of course not put the military robe in the dormitory without wearing it.

Wang Mingyuan also values literature over martial arts in his heart, and believes that although martial arts are indispensable to defend the country against the enemy, he must not be allowed to sit big. The Anshi Rebellion of the Tang Dynasty was that the Tang Emperor was too good to open up the frontier, and the useless land consumed his own national resources, so that countless athletes threw their corpses on the frontier, and the poor bones by the river were pitiful. In vain, the people were miserable, coupled with the Anshi rebellion, the feudal towns were in power, and the five dynasties and ten kingdoms made the people feel like they were in hell. It can be seen that the martial arts are not virtuous, and there is no fault in suppressing the martial arts in this dynasty, but the pressure is too ruthless, so that the soldiers are too lacking in combat power, which makes the Liukou sit big, and there is no way for the Eastern Captives to enter the customs many times.

But as a child of a military family, the flag army in front of him has a new look, and it is obvious that it is forming combat power, which makes Wang Mingyuan feel the recognition and respect in his bones, which is the inheritance of many generations, and the ears and eyes of his youth are not something that can be washed clean by a few sage books. At this time, he saw that the more than 400 banner troops had become elite and strong, and he still recognized more in his heart.

After squinting for a while, Wang Mingyuan looked in front of him, the salt pond is very close to the military camp, this large area in the east is a large salt pond in addition to the coastal tidal flats, from the 300th and 400th households each have a small road to pass here, repair this road is also extremely simple, hundreds of people and mules and donkeys drag dozens of big stone mills, two days of hard work will be opened, is to compact the road into a rammed earth layer, both sides are digging shallow ditches to drain the water, this is the simplest official road in the Ming Dynasty, pay attention to the more then add a layer of fine sand and gravel is a higher level of official road.

Several nearby hundreds of households are almost here, and the hundreds of households in the distance are still in an endless stream of people, and dozens of people rush over every day, and there is still a shortage of people here, so they do not refuse to come.

Dozens of craftsmen are still expanding the shack area, there are too many people, some are far away from thirty-four miles, it is certainly not realistic to go home every day to do work back and forth, even if the nearest ones are also a few miles away, there is no eight-hour work system to do work here, generally it is Tianma Ma Liang to start working, to the evening sunset can not be seen before stopping, ringing at noon only about a quarter of an hour to eat and rest, this is already quite a good treatment.

More ant colony-like people are not far from Wang Ming, both men and women, most of them are young adults over fifteen or sixteen to fifty years old, and most of the women also have the strength to dig ditches and carry soil, but they are not as able to bear the weight as men, so the treatment is slightly worse than that of men in the prime of life.

The nearby 100 villages are almost empty, most of the people live in shacks, eat in dozens of cauldrons lined up on the west side of the shack area, boil porridge with side dishes every morning, two rice with salt vegetable soup for each half of the rice grains in the afternoon, and steamed cakes and the like at night, in short, they can make people full.

Wang Mingyuan was also forced to come by his father Wang Sanyi, the 400th household was almost empty, the officers and banner army under Wang Sanyi did not work hard to train like Min Yuanqi, the level of management was quite insufficient, and there was a mess when he first came, and the 300th household really saw the joke.

After a few days of chaos, gradually resumed the habit of organizing the army according to the general banner of the small flag, and went to work every day, and the people of the 300th household were responsible for recording, and there were not many people who read and read on both sides, but the 300th household had many methods, and cut the short chips with wooden chips, and each person received the chips after the roll call, and handed over the chips to receive the grain at night. You must know that people are used to being poor, when the food is short, there will be people jumping and scolding and even desperately, if there is a heavy hair leakage, things can be big or small, the big will affect the Wang family's grasp of the real power of the hundred households, and the small will affect the reputation of the Wang family's father and son, so Wang Mingyuan has to stay on this construction site every day, he also wants to go to Huai'an Mansion after the weather is warm, and the county school of the show will play Huiwen, and grind Cheng Wen ink rolls, for the future township test and the will to prepare for the future township test and the meeting.

But this well-known reason doesn't apply now, even Xuanda was lost on the side of the Beijing Division, and the military and civilians outside the Liao Town were all attached, and Tang Tong, the chief soldier of Jizhen Town, had already arrived in Beijing when he reported to the palace last time, and later went to Bauhinia Pass with the eunuch Du Xun, Jizhen is also equal to nothing, the nine-sided towns, Gansu, Yulin, Shanxi, Datong, Xuanfu, Jizhen, Liao Town, Ningxia, Guyuan Town, now the nine towns are equal to the loss of seven towns, only half of Liao Town and half of Ji Town are left, what is this enough? The overall situation is so erosive, how can the local and central governments have the heart to carry out the township test and the meeting test, many people are discussing, not only will the test be suspended next year, but this autumn is afraid that it will also be yellow.

Such a big situation made Wang Mingyuan feel bad, and he was even more dissatisfied with the large group of military households as a migrant worker tent here, but it was a matter of the overall situation, and he couldn't ask the second sister to come and show his face, not to mention that the second sister was also in charge of the distribution of money and food for more than 100 women, and she was originally very busy.

What made Wang Mingyuan dissatisfied was not only that he was an account at the Yanchi construction site, but he also found that Min Yuanqi and others did not value themselves and other scholars, just like the Chinese army and military quartermasters, Min Yuanqi would rather hire a group of literate guys in the nearby market towns and county towns to do things, and also found a few officials from the city to help, but Guan Lei and Ding Ruqi in the hundred households did not come to invite at all, Wang Mingyuan knew that these two people actually wanted to do something to help make up for the family, the original military families were poor, the Ding family and the Guan family were okay, so this was for the children to study, Now the lives of all families are gradually getting better, but the Ding family and the Guan family are trapped in the spring famine and can't get out, but these two people don't want to work hard to earn food as salt or migrant workers, and it is impossible to go to the military camp for training, the two of them are waiting to be invited out to be a scribe, and now Min Yuanqi is more than an ordinary hundred households. Thousands of households in the city have rationed officials, and the first level of the guard has more experience and other miscellaneous civil officials to assist the martial artists to deal with chores, and now Min Yuanqi has more than 400 people in the Guangqi Army here, and more than 1,000 laborers, even if the city does not manage so many people to train and work together, there are a lot of chores, but Min Yuanqi's attitude is obvious, Guan Lei and others can not take the initiative to come up, and they watched the foreign guys and officials take the chores, and these people are extremely dissatisfied in private.

Wang Mingyuan stood bored and watched, he had finished his morning work, and he would be busy for a while in the evening, Wang Sanyi and Li Guoding were helpers on the Yanchi side, compared to the construction site and the training camp area here, these two hundred household officials obviously preferred to go to the Yanchi helpers who produced salt every day.

Min Yuanqi has not many people to use, and he also hopes that the original subordinates can focus on training, the first time to transport salt is Min Yuanqi himself, now he is gone, instead Wang Sanyi and Li Guoding The two hundred households take turns to send salt, anyway, the number and price are set to death, and there is no need to worry about Wang and Li taking rebates or taking kickbacks, and the two of them do not need to be like this, the income from selling salt is now useful, and after a while, Min Yuanqi will first divide a batch of benefits to these two people, and at the same time, he will also give the remaining 100 households a number of benefits, so that the manpower of the entire Yunti Pass can be used by him.

Wang Mingyuan sometimes feels a little admired, the entire Yunti Pass and each hundred households were originally a pool of stagnant water, at this time it is the spring famine season when all hundred households are quite sad, each family is not full of food, if it is not for the Beijing division to be surrounded, the army has already set off, each hundred households are less many young and strong men, after the men go out, the women and the old people have to put up the matter in the fields, after the spring famine after collecting the grain and handing over most of the half, they can barely eat half full, and at the same time have to bear the heavy work in the fields, and there are a lot of miscellaneous labors. If the imperial court is troubled and sends a royal historian to come over every few days to see the exercises, each hundred households and busy people turn their horses on their backs, and even hook the army to clear the army, all kinds of toss emerge in endlessly, but never consider the difficulties of the military households' life, reduce the burden on the military households to increase morale, the imperial court from the beginning of the country to catch the guards fleeing army, three escapes will be executed, but never consider fundamentally solving the land annexation, reducing the burden of miscellaneous labor such as grain grains, which is equivalent to telling the horses to be fast and not giving the horses to graze, even if Wang Mingyuan read the sage books, at this time I can't help but resent.

And Min Yuanqi is a simple salt pond, the entire Yunti Pass is a big change, now not only has a channel for money, but also gives many flag army remnants a way to earn food to support their families, plus the trained flag army to ensure the force, put an end to the prying eyes of people with a heart, the way of civil and military affairs, not a drop of water, Wang Mingyuan has also seen Min Yuanqi before, but he couldn't see that Min Yuanqi had such a ability back then.

"Who dug this piece in front of you?" A craftsman leader roared angrily by the pit not far away, and Wang Mingyuan glanced lazily at it, but he never took a craftsman to heart.

Many of the banner soldiers were still digging the ground with shovels and shovels, and apparently did not hear the craftsman's words.

Some people glanced around, and when they saw that it was a military craftsman who was shouting, they continued to bow their heads and do their work.

Recently, digging the salt pond is to put most of the craftsmen here, the number of craftsmen is not enough to put the kiln and other things in a few miles away, hire some people to work tiles and stones to build a kiln factory, several small blast furnaces every day to put the bricks and tiles in the kiln to fire, the kiln factory is used for coal, there are several coal mines in Xuzhou, along the canal south to sell, but in this year only a few residents in the city use charcoal fire, the people outside the city are all using straw straw and branches to cook in pots, heating and burning pits in winter is the living habit of the north, but here in Jiangbei is only hard work, There is no stove or fire pit for heating, in fact, the wet and cold in this part of Huai'an Mansion is much worse than that in Shandong, and it is more difficult to endure, but the customs are different.

Coal sales are limited, the price is not expensive, Min Yuan Qituo Zhu Wanchun bought a few boats of charcoal in Fucheng and spent less than two hundred taels of silver, enough to burn hundreds of thousands of bricks, quite cost-effective.

On the side of the salt pond, the craftsmen of the institute are the mainstay, and Min Yuanqi asked Min Qiande to send five or six craftsmen over, mainly with mud and tiles, and he is busy digging the big salt pond here.

The profits produced by Yanchi and supporting Kanchi every day are visible to the naked eye, no one doubts, the people who have come to work gradually exceed 1,000 people, there are ant colony people working on the construction site every day, the daily management of Min Yuanqi is handed over to Wang Sanyi and Li Guoding, the officers under his command are still mainly drilled, the elite soldiers are based on the foundation, and the money is made for training.

The technical aspect and command is handed over to the craftsmen who came in the early days, and later the craftsmen assisted from the side, but there are many people on the construction site, even if there are two hundred households and five or six general flags to manage together, most of them are in charge of the remaining members of the flag army brought by themselves, and there will be conflicts from time to time, but each person has four liters of grain per day, and there are many people staring, and the people who began to come over are more energetic, and they do not hesitate to do their best. Seeing that someone was too much, he stepped forward to warn a few words, and then there were people who did not contribute to the work, or they did not come completely according to the standards set by the craftsmen, Wang Mingyuan and others saw a lot.
