Chapter 1253: The Great March's Northward Advance
The whole army completed the mule and horse transformation of the Li Jiajun, and the marching speed was very fast, and in only half a day, it had already rushed 50 miles.
At lunchtime, Li Zhongyi, as usual, wandered around the camp. Gao Qiang and Zhang Sanzheng, these two people were not very suitable for Li Zhongyi's style of squatting and eating together with the big-headed soldiers at first, but after a long time, the two of them understood Li Zhongyi very well.
As early as when Hechi joined the army, Gao Qiang and Zhang Sanzheng were just ordinary big-headed soldiers, and it was precisely because Li Zhongyi often ate with the big-headed soldiers that the people in the baggage camp did not dare to slack off, and both of them could eat to their heart's content.
What are you kidding, the Supreme Commander may come to check the food situation anytime and anywhere, who has eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, and dares to withhold the soldiers' rations and dishes to accompany the meal? Aren't you afraid of thunderous punishment?
What does it mean to be grounded? Li Zhongyi has been like a day for ten years, telling the military leaders with practical actions that whoever dares to drink the blood of soldiers, he will dare to ask for someone's head!
Li Zhongyi, holding a large porcelain bowl and a pair of bamboo chopsticks in his hand, lined up in the middle of the queue waiting for dinner, and some soldiers hesitated a little, not daring to follow behind Li Zhongyi.
"What are you doing? There are a lot of vacancies here, come over quickly......" Li Zhongyi beckoned the hesitant soldiers over and asked them to line up behind him.
Seeing this situation, Gao Qiang and Zhang Sanzheng had to pinch their noses and line up with Li Zhongyi.
"What's for breakfast?" Li Zhongyi held the bowl in his left hand, pinched the chopsticks in his right hand, and asked a soldier in the line behind him with a smile.
The soldier never dreamed that the supreme commander would actually have a family affair with him, and he snorted with difficulty, and finally squeezed out half a sentence, "mutton soup, baking, pancakes......
Li Zhongyi nodded, and asked the soldier again: "Have you ever eaten meat?" "This is an obvious digging question.
The soldier said honestly, "I have eaten meat once every three days, and the broth is available every day." ”
Li Zhongyi smiled, which shows that the officer in charge of logistics did not dare to withhold everyone's food, uh-huh, this person, after all, is still afraid of death.
Li Zhongyi has been randomly checking the food of the soldiers for more than ten years, and as long as the officers in charge of logistics are not stupid, no one dares to do anything about the food.
In addition to food, Li Zhongyi also paid special attention to the salaries of the soldiers. When the monthly salary is paid, it is handled jointly by the Logistics Department and the Military Judge Advocate General's Department, and it never goes through the hands of the officers with the troops.
In other words, even a high-ranking commander of an army cannot meddle in the affairs of money.
In addition, the commanders of the officers only have the right to make suggestions for the promotion and promotion, but they do not have the final decision.
Li Zhongyi did not want to test the humanity of his old subordinates, but relied more on a benign system to effectively check and balance the power of the military leaders.
Li Zhongyi looked like he had a meal as usual, specifically looking for a place with a lot of people, and he didn't want to leave when he squatted in.
Objectively speaking, Li Zhongyi ate a very happy meal, do Gao Qiang and Zhang Sanzheng dare not eat it? The two of them also brought food, and squatted beside Li Zhongyi and listened to him and the soldiers talking.
"How many people are in the family?" Li Zhongyi took a sip of pork bone soup, swallowed a small bite of pancakes, and asked the soldier Zhang Yuanwen with a smile.
Zhang Yuanwen touched his head, showed a sincere smile, and whispered: "The second and third brothers of my parents, as well as my mother-in-law, are all farming in the countryside of Pinglu, and the two little babies are ...... with handles."
Li Zhongyi smiled slightly, Zhang Yuanwen's home is in Pinglu, and it is a farmer's family, which shows that the Zhang family must be the beneficiary of his fight against local tyrants and the division of land.
"Oh, it's good to farm, there is land to plant, so you won't go hungry." Li Zhongyi raised his hand to wipe a handful of excessive oil stains on the corners of his lips, wiped them on the upper of his boots with his backhand, and then asked Zhang Yuanwen, "How many acres of land are divided into the family?" ”
Gao Qiang and Zhang Sanzheng immediately turned their heads, and they didn't dare to look at Li Zhongyi's ugly behavior like the big head soldiers.
Zhang Yuanwen smiled from the bottom of his heart, smiled very brightly, and said innocently: "My parents, the villain, the villain's second and third brothers, and my mother, each divided a hundred acres of land, a total of 600 acres ......of land, and the government also lent cattle to the villain's family when they ploughed in spring every year."
Li Zhongyi nodded frequently, and suddenly attacked the impromptu questioning, and the information obtained was of great credibility, and he was naturally very happy.
The equal division of land between men and women is a major initiative of Li Zhongyi hidden in the policy of benefiting the people, and the future development direction must be that women also have a single independent household and equal inheritance rights.
Now, in the entire Great Zhou, including the population of black households, it is only more than 40 million at best.
Objectively speaking, if the women's labor force is not completely liberated, many of Li Zhongyi's plans to colonize overseas will be difficult to carry out in a short period of time.
As far as Li Zhongyi knows, in the vast rural areas, women actually have to work in the fields just like men, and the hardships they endure and the fatigue they suffer are by no means easier than those of men.
However, the unfairness of the system, and even discriminatory customs, make it impossible for women to hold up half the sky.
According to Li Zhongyi's plan, women who have studied can not only undertake the fixed official work in the yamen, but also take on part of the leadership work at all levels of government, and can also participate in logistics affairs such as weaving, making shoes, and making hats.
In this way, you can bring out the adult male *** and act as the vanguard of Li Zhongyi's colonization of the whole of Asia!
Of course, bringing the female *** out, in terms of the current social environment, is definitely a shocking move, and it is definitely impossible for conservative forces to give up.
Li Zhongyi had already made up his mind that he would wait for a better time and then slowly implement it to alleviate the huge resistance caused by worldliness and prejudice.
This meal must be eaten one bite at a time, it is impossible to eat a full meal, but it will choke yourself, and the wise man will not do it!
In Li Zhongyi's experience, in the absence of an officer, the soldiers would tell the truth in most cases.
After collecting first-hand information, Li Zhongyi drank the mutton soup in the bowl in a few sips, stood up, said hello to the soldiers, and then walked away.
Gao Qiang took advantage of Li Zhongyi's lack of attention, and whispered to Zhang Sanzheng: "The two of us originally had the habit of wiping our noses on the upper of our boots, but now this official is getting bigger and bigger, but I don't fit in." ”
"Who's to say it isn't? I think that at the beginning, I ate much more than I do now, I was like a starving ghost, eating too fast, and my hands were full of oil and rubbing them on my clothes. Zhang Sanzheng looked at Li Zhongyi's tall back and sighed, "I have completely obeyed the lord and his old man." ”
Gao Qiang also sighed and whispered: "Follow the left and right of the Lord, although I can't charge into battle anymore, but I have learned a lot more!" ”
