In the following days, Sanshui Village was extremely busy.

The men plough the fields every day and are busy planting wheat before the winter so that they can harvest a crop of grain the following summer. In addition to the busy farm work, I have to devote two hours a day to training. If it weren't for the change from two meals a day to three meals, they wouldn't have been able to stand it at all. And with that, the consumption of food is very fast.

There have been many people complaining to the patriarch Zhang Yu, not complaining that they should not train, but complaining that they should not eat three meals a day.

"Just one or two thousand stone of grain, according to this way of eating, it won't last a few months, what should I do if the grain is gone?"

Zhang Yu could only comfort with kind words: "Don't worry, Ah Miao said that he has a way." ”

When it comes to Zhang Miao, who made beeswax to get so much food for everyone, many people shut up, but some people are still worried. In this era, people's biggest fear is that they will not have food, and they would rather lose their stomachs for the long run.

Therefore, many people take the initiative to ask that they should still have two meals a day and try to save some food.

Zhang Miao was very moved by the reasonableness of the clansmen, so he assured everyone: "Everyone is not worried about food, everything is with me!" ”

The men trained hard, and the women comrades had to cook, take care of the children, sew and mend, and many had to work in the fields, but even then, as soon as they had time, they would cut down the bamboo, and then cut it off and throw it into a large pond dug at the head of the village, and the smell of the water was so strong that a lot of quicklime was thrown into it.

Even the old people can't be idle, as long as they can move, they will do some work within their ability, help take care of the children, help sew and mend washing.

Originally, the most idle were the children, five or six years old, seven or eight years old, and teenagers, who could not work, and ran around the village and around the village all day.

Zhang Miao couldn't look at it, so he gathered all these children, imitated the situation of the township soldiers to form a team, and appointed the eldest child as the team leader and squad leader.

Every morning, these children will follow the practice queue. After breakfast, Zhang Miao would personally teach them, teach them literacy, and teach them some arithmetic.

Without any books, Zhang Miao made a wooden board and painted it with black lacquer, and wrote on it with lime blocks, and the content of the teaching was very simple, that is, "Mouth and hand, heaven and earth, trees" This is what you see in daily life. Arithmetic, then hand over to Arabic numerals, and addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

Now he is very busy and has no time, Zhang Miao decided to get out the teaching materials after he has time, and formulate a detailed teaching plan, not only to teach the children literacy and arithmetic, but also to teach them martial arts and military arts, as well as to teach a lot of other subject knowledge according to their specialties. Children are the future of the village, and education must not be neglected.

Of course, Zhang Miao is very busy now, but he doesn't have time to spend all his time teaching children, and after teaching for a while every day, he lets the older children take the younger children to learn.

"Ah Che, you are the class leader, the elder brother of all the children, you must take them well, tomorrow I will ask you what you have learned today. If one of them doesn't, I'll ask you for it!" Zhang Miao said to the twelve-year-old Zhang Che with a pleasant face.

"But Brother Miao, what if some guys are too small and some are too stupid?" Zhang Che was embarrassed.

"Then I don't care, they are stupid or stupid, but they are not stupid, as long as they are willing to work hard, they will definitely be able to remember what I teach. Remember, if a child can't, I'll beat you. Zhang Miao said coldly, and then turned around and left the teaching courtyard.

As soon as Zhang Miao left, Zhang Che summoned several team leaders.

"You all heard Brother Miao's words just now, and next, you each take your group of classmates to study, and everyone must learn the knowledge taught by Brother Miao. Tomorrow, if Brother Miao beats me with a stick, because of that group, I will beat you two with one stick! Did you hear that? ”

Outside the courtyard, Zhang Miao stood by the wall and listened quietly, and when she heard this, she smiled with satisfaction.

As the young governor of the Sanshui Security Corps and the recognized young patriarch of the clan, Zhang Miao has a heavy burden on his shoulders, not only teaching children to read and write.

The patriarch's father, Zhang Yu, was busy taking the big guys to plough the fields for training, and after Xu Shu commanded the training, he had to think hard about the next training plan and how to improve the actual combat ability of the township soldiers, and other things had to fall on Zhang Miao.

For example, the issue of weapons for the villagers.

Sanshui Village is just an ordinary village, and it is naturally impossible to have sufficient weapons and equipment.

Although the bandits are also a rabble, if they are well prepared and well-equipped, they will always reduce some casualties. There are so many clansmen, and losing a Zhang Miao will be distressed.

Zhang Miao had already asked Deng Tu to buy pigskin and cowhide to make leather armor. Leather armor is expensive, a pair of thousands of dollars, if you want to buy it can only be found in a county like Huyang Xinye, and there can not be many in Huyang Xinye, if you buy it on a large scale, you can only go to Xiangyang, and this will inevitably cause the government to be vigilant, and it will be troublesome to be misunderstood to rebel.

Therefore, it is best to secretly buy cowhide and pigskin to make it yourself, although the production is not as exquisite as that made by special military craftsmen, but the basic defense ability is still there, and the most important thing is that the price is cheap.

And before the leather armor is made, the necessary defenses are still there. Zhang Miao decided to make a wooden shield, using a hard wooden board as a shield, and it would not be a problem to resist feather arrows, knives and guns. Zhang Tang's father and son in the village are carpenters, and Zhang Miao gave them the task of making wooden shields. The dozens of wooden planks brought back from Xiangyang can be used as materials to make shields.

According to Zhang Miao's requirements, each sword and shield soldier has at least a half-person high square shield, and in a few days, Zhang Tang has made more than 20 faces.

Then there is the problem of weapons, when it comes to sword and shield soldiers, in fact, the total number of steel knives and long knives in the village is less than ten, and in desperation, they can only be replaced by other things. For example, the axe used for chopping wood is reinstalled with a wooden handle suitable for fighting. Another example is the hammer that many families have, equipped with a long handle, wielded with great power, with the effect of armor piercing.

Therefore, it is said that it is a sword and shield soldier, except for the wooden shield with a unified system, other weapons are very complicated.

The archers have sufficient weapons, last time Zhang Miao purchased twenty pairs of bows and arrows from Xiangyang, plus the original several pairs in the village, each archer has a standard military bow.

There were also not so many spears in the village, so in desperation, they had to use bamboo spears instead. Xu Shu ordered to use a four-zhang long bamboo spear, one end sharpened, and the handle was wrapped in torn linen, and for the bandits without armor, the power was not under the iron spear in the army.

The most important thing is that the length of the bamboo spear is definitely more than most weapons, and the four-zhang long bamboo spear can be stabbed to death without waiting for the thief to get close. Of course, if you want to give full play to the combat effectiveness of the bamboo spear, you need strict training.

In order to prevent thieves from getting close, each spearman also carries several short spears more than three feet long behind his back, which can be used to throw and kill enemies, and can also be used as melee combat.
