Chapter 426: Teach people to fish and hot springs

There are hundreds of refugees near Huangshui Town, and Xiao Wen estimated last night that they needed 200 people in the coal mine, and solved a lot of problems for them at once.

Giving blindly does not mean that you will reap a good return, just like these refugees, if you only give them something when they are suffering, it will greatly reduce their resilience to disasters.

But if you teach them how to survive the winter at this time and give them some means to earn a living, it will strengthen their resilience to disasters.

Honeycomb coal is not very difficult to make, and Li Feng believes that those high-quality students can easily adjust the ratio and the like.

As for where does the carbon monoxide released after the coal has been burned? The little fat man doesn't think this is a problem, the wisdom of modern people is not so simple, just make a chimney and release these toxic carbon monoxide.

Coal can be used for heating, for cooking for rice and water, and even for making steel.

The whole army has very high requirements for coal, and recently the wood on the mountain can no longer be cut, and if it is cut down, the whole mountain will be bald.

But coal is a resource given to them by the earth, and if it is used well, it will definitely help the refugees tide over the difficulties.

It was useless to talk nonsense, Li Feng said something to a group of refugees that they could understand, that is, to gather them to work in the winter, pay back the money, and sign if they are willing to go.

A group of refugees heard this with a face full of disbelief, how can there be such a good thing in the winter?

Of course, the fat man will not do a loss-making business, let these refugees participate in this business, one is to let them get a part of the living income, and the other is to allow the army to have more inputs, and it is not a way to always rob the devil, and they must also have some hematopoietic ability.

A group of young adults were taken away, and Song Yi was responsible for taking them to the coal mine to work, and the honeycomb coal would be sold everywhere.

Although there is a possibility of losing money in doing so, since they are the government of the border districts, they must guide the people to a truth, that is, people can rely on their own hands to live, do their own things, and have enough food and clothing, and this concept must be forcibly penetrated into the minds of every common people.

The rest are some old and young women and children, but don't think that these people can't do anything, they can do more things.

For example, those who helped the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army make cotton clothes and cotton pants, those who relied on their father's knowledge did not know what year and month they could make cotton clothes!

The quilt factory at the headquarters can't count on it, not to mention that they don't need the help of the headquarters, they just need to give them a little more time to be able to put together the cotton clothes.

When a group of women and children heard that the Eighth Route Army asked them to work, and then paid them for their handwork, and finally gave them some cotton, and let them make their own cotton clothes to wear.

It's all simple people, don't give them some hope to live, their eyes can shine brightly.

The old lady is idle for the time being, and she doesn't need to sew clothes with a group of female soldiers every day, she just needs to supervise them well.

The consumption of food was not as great as expected, and Li Feng felt that they could not relax their vigilance at this time.

The lightly wounded soldiers were on guard, and the more than 100 new recruits were all disrupted, and the veterans led the training.

The drill ground was covered with snow, so a group of recruits had one more task, which was to clear the snow from the drill ground.

In this kind of ice and snow, everyone's perseverance can be exercised the most.

Iron will is especially important for a warrior, which will infinitely magnify their desire to survive, make them do everything they can to survive on the battlefield, and then kill every enemy they see.

The will to survive, Li Feng was already instilling these concepts in them at this time, consciously or unconsciously.

There was only a guard platoon of more than fifty people in Danhe Town, and Li Feng felt that so many people were enough, and if the devils rushed over, Li Feng wouldn't mind eating them all.

The recruits were training on the training ground every day, and the earth-shattering shouts were repeated all the time.

In less than two weeks, more than 1,000 cotton clothes were sewn to ensure that every soldier could wear a set, the most difficult thing was the shoes, although they seized many devils' rubber boots, but this thing is not warm in winter, so many soldiers have frostbite on their feet.

The Chinese medicine shop in the town was on fire again, and some medicinal materials were purchased by the troops, and they were allowed to soak their feet every day, just to ensure that their feet were not frozen.

……

Animal instincts have always been excellent, especially for predators such as leopards, who tend to find warm places in the middle of winter.

For example, on this day, Xiao Jin bit the little fat man's trouser leg and ran up the back mountain, Li Feng felt that Xiao Jin must have found a large passive dead animal carcass and wanted him to help get it back.

Therefore, the brother walked slowly towards the mountain, and the little fat man realized that things were not at all what he thought.

There are no carcasses of large animals here, but there are quite a few small animals, because the place is constantly bubbling up, steaming hot.

Xiao Jin actually found a hot spring!

Suddenly, a fat man felt that winter didn't seem to be so difficult, and this large hot spring didn't seem to be warm.

In a place near the center, the water temperature is estimated to be 80 degrees Celsius, and it may even boil!

The temperature is moderate in a large circle of places, and it is comfortable to touch the thief with your hands, but there is a lot of snow in the vicinity, if you can......

The news of a hot spring on the mountain is spreading, and I don't know which dog day it spread, everyone wants to come and intervene, if they see the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army standing there, some people suddenly stopped.

The little fat man asked people to set up some houses here, clear a special path, and then connect some hot springs, and even dig a lot of pits in some big rocks, and then bring in the hot spring water......

A bathhouse was born, if you don't take a bath in winter, there will be a lot of bacteria breeding, Li Feng was troubled by this problem before, but now it seems that there is no need.

With the onsen everything is easy to solve, taking a bath once every two days may be a bit much, but at least once a week you have to take a bath, even the small animals are no exception.

Li Feng was the first to jump into the pit, and his body couldn't help but feel lighter from the warm spring water, and as for the screams of the second fat from the girl's bathroom next door, he didn't hear it.

"Enjoy!"

The innermost hot spring water also has its effect, for example, there are some quilt sheets and other things that need to be disinfected, so you can put them in it and soak them.

Of course, there are little things to do while carrying a basket of eggs in the hot springs......
