Jing Xiang and Wu Jian walked slowly to the front of the army tent where the meal was being prepared, and in the rows of large wooden barrels, the boiled porridge was full, and what shocked Jing Xiang and Wu Jian was that the porridge was extremely thick, as can be seen from the soldier's struggle to stir it with a wooden spoon.

Seeing Jing Xiang looking into the bucket, the leader of the gang didn't know what the other party's origin was, only that this was a group of characters who were guarded by cavalry, and the first one was a Zhaowu captain, who was several levels higher than his top boss, so the one in front of him naturally went without saying that he was a big man.

"This old man, the county's order is clear, the porridge must be boiled until the chopsticks do not fall, we dare not cut corners."

Jing Xiang nodded, smiled at each other with a smile on his face, and walked towards him again. Next to the porridge, there are large baskets of radishes, but the baskets are filled with steamed buns, which are steaming hot, and the aroma is coming to the nose. Although it's just some mixed bread, this thing is extremely hungry.

To Jing Xiang's surprise, next to the basket of mixed noodles and steamed buns, there were also large wooden plates, which actually contained slices of neatly cut meat the size of a child's palm.

These slices of meat are made bacon, most of them are fat, and there is a piece of red lean meat underneath, fat and thin, and the smell of smoke from pine and cypress branches makes people salivate when they smell it.

"Cash-for-work, but also meat?" Wu Jian was a little shocked and asked the soldier in front of him who was holding an iron tong and was fiddling with these pieces of meat ready to be distributed.

"Look at what this old man said?" The soldier was also bold, and said with a smile: "This road construction and water conservancy repair are all hard work, and there is no oil and meat to build a base, and no matter how much you eat, you will be hungry again after a while." When people are hungry, they naturally have no strength, and if they don't have the strength to work, they will not be efficient, so how can it be done? ”

Wu Jian was choked, he is not the kind of person who doesn't eat minced meat, but the biggest purpose of cashing in for work is actually to prevent the undead, to prevent the living from making trouble, and to seek stability.

"This efficiency has become high, and the work has been done in three or two, where will these people go to beg for food?" He asked, puzzled.

"This official is from outside, right?" The soldier looked at Wu Jian with some amusement: "How can the matter be done?" After doing this, there are other places, after repairing the road, there are still small roads, after repairing these ditches, you can also build a big weir and build water, as long as you want to do it, there are endless things. ”

"Build a weir and build a dam?"

The soldiers looked at each other proudly, the official in front of him didn't know where he came from, he was a hillbilly, and he might as well have knowledge as a small soldier.

"This lord, the small is a Wuyi person, in the past, where did we have a Su River, these years have not caused us a lot of trouble, and then Ah Taifu his old man to govern the Su River, on both sides of the river built a lot of weirs, and built a dam on the river, now the Su River is our Wuyi people's treasure Luo, let him God reward the face, we are not worried. This Weizhou, compared to our Wuyi, is too far behind, so ah, this thing can't be done. ”

Wu Jian and Jing Xiang glanced at each other, and their eyes flashed with a thick look of worry.

Wu Wei's achievements in civil affairs are obviously beyond their imagination.

As he spoke, the people who had come to eat from afar had already arrived in front of him and began to line up in an orderly manner. Large ceramic bowls that had just been boiled in boiling water were fished out and placed on the board in stacks, and everyone who passed by took a large bowl.

"It's quite exquisite!" Wu Jian said.

"It's called hygiene." The soldier with iron tongs said: "Before these people come to eat, they must wash their hands, this is all required, the boss said, do these well, you can get sick less, now our doctors are still too few, medicine is not enough, if you are sick, you will reduce a labor, and you have to spend money to treat the disease, that is too worthwhile, so we must do these things well." ”

Jing Xiang nodded silently. He was in a high position, and he knew more about Wuwei, and knew that Li Ze also vigorously promoted in the army that there should be a medical team for each outpost, a small field hospital for each qu, and a large field hospital for each battalion, but he didn't know that this policy was already beginning to be promoted to the people.

In his opinion, this is completely unnecessary expense. With this money, it is better to recruit more troops and build more good equipment for soldiers.

But listening to the satisfied introduction of the little soldier in front of him, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

In the final analysis, the battle for world domination is ultimately a game of competing for the hearts and minds of the people and for support. Those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help, but it is not just a fluttering sentence in the book, and this sentence will be very important when it falls into practice. This is a bloody lesson summed up by the sages of history.

A bowl of porridge, two buns, and a piece of meat, the people who received these sat together in a circle, happily eating their lunch. Wu Jian noticed that about 100 people were in a circle, and in this circle, there were a few people with red scarves around their necks.

"What do those people do? Overseer of labor? Wu Jian pointed to those people and asked.

"Oh, those are all members of the Yixing Society, sent down from above." The soldier who was busy handing out slices of meat glanced up and said, "They are all capable people, and they have a lot of experience in building roads and canals." Several of them are from my hometown! "The soldiers are clearly proud." With their guidance and help, these things can be done faster and better, but they don't know how many roads and how many canals they have to build before they are eligible to be sent out! ”

The soldier glanced at those people enviously and said, "Their salaries are very high, each person has an average of more than ten yuan a month, and I heard that the best master can have twenty yuan a month!" ”

What Yixing Society is best at is definitely not building roads and canals, Jing Xiang is clear in his heart. For this organization, Jing Xiang has done some research based on intelligence, and this organization is a hunting dog raised by Li Ze, and he will do some things that are inconvenient for Li Ze above the official face. This organization is rooted in the most ordinary people, in Wuwei, it can be said that it is a hundred responses, Jing Xiang once thought that this was a cult organization, but later found that his understanding of them was still too superficial.

At this moment, in his arms, he was carrying a booklet of the Yixing Society, which was the handout used by the teachers of the Yixing Society to develop members and give lectures.

Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for life, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations.

These words on the first page of the booklet are said to have been inscribed by Li Ze himself to encourage the members of the Yixing Society.

Those who can say these words should have a big heart. In just four sentences, it includes people's spiritual values, life meanings, academic inheritance, and political ideals.

He Jingxiang, doesn't he also want to do this?

Wu Jian looked at some women and children in those circles, and asked with a smile: "Those children can't do any heavy work, but they also eat so much, and they still have meat, isn't it wasteful?" It's still useful, look at those women, they hid the buns and meat slices in their arms, and they didn't eat them at all! ”

The soldier glanced at Wu Jian: "This official's eyes are sharp, this kid is just when he grows his body, even if he comes to us to eat and work, we will have less to eat?" Eat a little, grow stronger, and in a few years you will be able to carry a gun to fight for Taifu, even if you don't go to the battlefield, you are a good hand at farming at home, what can you do with yellow muscles and thin muscles? Also, those women can work hard, the reason why they do this, needless to say, there must be people in the family who can't come out to work, almost all of them are people who can't do things because of old illness, these are filial sons! They didn't take much of it. ”

Looking at the soldier rolling his eyes, Wu Jian suddenly felt a little blushing and laughed wryly.

Jing Xiang didn't say a word, turned around and left, and Wu Jian followed closely. Seeing that Jing Xiang's face was not very good-looking, he didn't dare to speak more.

After walking a few steps, Jing Xiang suddenly stopped, looked up at the sky for a long time, and then said: "A little soldier, he actually understands so many truths, Wuwei Li Ze, it is really extraordinary!" Wu Jian, if under Wu Wei's rule, it was like this everywhere, what a terrifying thing it would be. No, no, no, other places will only be stronger than here, Weizhou, Luzhou is just the territory he just fought down, Wu Jian, I am very uneasy. ”

"The military advisor is overthinking. How much does it cost to be a big spender like them! Wu Jian hurriedly said: "In my opinion, they will definitely not be able to withstand this for long." Shengmien, Doumiqiu, Mrs. Li will raise generals like this, once you can't take it out in the future, I'm afraid it won't end well. ”

"I hope so!" Jing Xiang sighed.

Walking back to the military tent, on the simple table, the food has been arranged, exactly the same as the outside, except that in front of each of them, there is an extra salted duck egg.

Jing Xiang looked at the Weizhou officer who was guarding his group, and asked casually: "I see that meat is still provided for the people outside, is meat so abundant under the rule of Wuwei?" ”

The officer said with a smile: "Jing Junshi doesn't know, in our Wuwei, in addition to the people's own pigs, sheep, fish, chickens and ducks, we have also built a lot of pig farms, etc., using the method of captivity, slaughter very fast. When the army is stationed in one place, it will also farm the fields, raise pigs, etc., and will also purchase a large amount of meat from the miscellaneous beards outside the mouth. Every year, if you can't finish eating, you will make bacon, like the one we eat today, it is still the bacon made last year! As soon as the bacon is over the summer, the taste is much worse, so now you have to dare to consume it. It's good to make room for the storage of new meat, and the military division is considerate. ”

Jing Xiang was completely speechless. Even Xuanwu's army did not have such an abundant supply of meat. Even the officials of Xuanwu are not able to eat meat at once.

Speaking of the entire conditions on Xuanwu's territory, whether it is geographical or humanistic, it is much stronger than Li Ze's territory, but now it seems that on the people's livelihood, Xuanwu is not a little behind.
