Concentrating logistical resources can ensure the material support of the operation to the greatest extent, and this is an important measure for the Republican Army to allocate resources advantageously. Only by centralizing the management of provisioning can greater waste be avoided. But in reality, the IRA inevitably engaged in all kinds of waste.

In order to guarantee the combat effectiveness of their army. It is necessary to make use of extremely sufficient combat materiel, and in such a situation, it seems that more of them will provide the soldiers with the most adequate security. And more supplies mean waste. More waste.

Outside the Yanmen Gate.

A few Confederate soldiers, their markers moved outward for thirty miles. There is never a landmark. But after the trade unfolded. Everything is different here.

It's been an unknown number of times they've done something like this. They're all very familiar with each other.

After the armistice, the IRA became more advantageous. Because the Republican Army is better at trade than fighting, and likes trade. Doing business, they are at the top of the list, and as long as they move their fingers, they can make a lot of money, which is more important than any trade.

"Woo." A small train slowly entered Yanmen Pass from the makeshift tracks.

Zhang Liao put down the pen in his hand and watched the train outside the glass window slowly enter the Yanmen Railway Station. In fact, the railway station, in addition to the large warehouse, is a small house, where there is a telegraph mailroom, as well as a group dormitory. Neither the toilet nor the kitchen. It is surrounded by wasteland. But even so, the arrival of the train still excites many people.

Those nomads who entered from outside the gates. They will stand up excitedly. Then it crowded like crazy onto the platform, even though it was all sludge. But they were still happy to raise their arms high, showing that they had a lot of strength.

It was a small train that could only pull eight cars that were not too big, but even then it was equivalent to the carrying capacity of more than forty twin ox carts. The goods were jammed to the brim, and they had to be manually loaded and unloaded to a nearby warehouse. Those who enter the Kannai can only survive by selling their strength. Fortunately, the price is not very high, and they can buy what they want happier than before.

Food, clothing. There are also a variety of uses. In the nomadic era, knives could not be purchased at all, but now they can easily buy some knives for a small amount of money. When eating, use such a knife, not to mention how convenient. Men can buy what they like, and children can eat new sweets from the south that the people of Bingzhou have never known could be made into candy. There is also milk powder. Women need these things even more after giving birth. A lot of good things stimulated these nomads who embraced the Republican way of life into the big families of life in the Central Plains.

Although they sell their labor. The salary earned looks insignificant. But they were happy, because materially they were much better than their brothers who were still grazing on the steppe. At the very least, the strange smell of them is gone.

There is a special bathhouse in Yanmenguan. The people who boil the water are the children of the nomads, most of whom are not more than seven or eight years old, but they have already come out early to receive social training.

These children can receive education, and there are schools outside the city, but the quality of education in the schools is very worrying, and the teachers are extremely slack. They never teach these kids well. This makes it even more difficult because of the difference in language. Although the salary is better, it is too difficult to teach, which makes it difficult for teachers to accept. The quality of education has been low. But the children were receptive. They always ask adults about something, or they come to learn on their own. That kind of self-learning from the initial imitation is a very commendable spirit.

"Peace is easier than war to digest the few barbarian tribes of the north." Zhang Liao wrote in his diary.

After the peace, the biggest change was made by the barbarian tribal nomads, and the Confederates disbanded more than four-fifths of their combatants into society. They were the first to approach the IRA and knew how to take what they thought worked.

And this can lead to more consumer demand. As for the outside of the customs, they can only be in the lower reaches of trade, in an extremely low-end market state.

They had to export more sheepskins, wool. Cattle and sheep. Even the horses they had to export. Horses that are castrated don't sell for a good price at all. Because the tribes needed more money, and even some tribes started their own reselling business, they bought a lot of ironware, which was almost a bestseller in the steppe. In some cases, it can be used as a currency.

Here, though, IRA paper money is better used than iron. The money they get always feels like they've been spent all at once. They also have no possibility of taking out loans, everything is just beginning, and no one wants to take on such a large financial guarantee.

So, the nomadic tribes who had just been pacified soon fell into a monetary catastrophe, they needed more money, but they didn't make much at all, and if the robbery solved the problem, they would have done it. But this does not achieve such a situation at all.

The tribal leaders were far from being able to meet the trade in wool, cattle, sheep, and horses.

Thus, another kind of trading was born. Land.

The cunning merger businessman with the support of the military to make such a deal, the grassland is a special kind of land, his price per mu, is only two yuan, if there are mountains and rivers, or barren mountains, the price will be arable land, river land will be higher, but it will not be higher than three yuan, this is basically an extremely low price acquisition, but helpless, the tribal leaders know such a point, so, they still have to sell such some land, plus the merge state merchants among the various pits, such as, They will test the quality of the land, or deliberately manipulate the length of the land, and a large amount of land outside the border will be returned to the hands of the republican army, and the republican army can fight the land there, and when it encounters some tribes, it will absorb, digest, and even lease to each other, in short, in the commercial world, the grassland tribe economy is too backward. They are so backward that they simply can't stand such situations, and this is simply a huge catastrophe for them. Although there is a lot of reluctance, buying and selling is buying and selling, and no one can avoid such a situation.

Jingshi, Luoyang. Within the city of Dongcheng. It's closed because of it. The whole street was full of improvised tents, shacks, and all sorts of strange "little houses", and many people watched them numbly.

Several managers inspected the streets with a one-eyed man in an old-fashioned IRA colonel's uniform.

He looked to be in his forties, but he was only in his early thirties. He wears a black blindfold, and one of his eyes has been wounded by a flying arrow on the battlefield. At that time, he was a major battalion commander and later served as a staff officer, and he could have been promoted to brigadier general, as long as he passed the exam, but, alas, no. Because he was born at the bottom of the military, he has a short temper, but he is also resolute. As a result, he was forcibly decommissioned.

Zhang Da was very dissatisfied, because he felt that he could be promoted, but he didn't have such an opportunity. He was distressed, but there was nothing he could do. Fortunately, the officer's pension is relatively generous, and he has two farms near Handan. The peaceful life on the farm made him very uncomfortable, and he began to drink, hoping to go to war. But the War Department did not accept it. Many of his companions had gone north. And Zhang Da was unwilling, he was originally the commander of an infantry division, and the rank of brigadier general was fine. But he didn't, and his military career stopped at the colonel. He didn't like to command a private army with only one company or half a battalion to fight. Private armed forces are often very concerned about cost. Leaving the Republican Army's combat system made him very unhappy.

Now, his chance has come. Luoyang needs high-ranking officers. His military rank turned out to be the highest. Naturally, he accepted the military command here, as well as some civil arrangements. He himself was very happy, because this was what he needed.

He had just arrived, and he hadn't eaten yet, when he began to inspect everything here, and he needed to know it in great detail.

But the truth is that the situation here is very bad.

Dirty and messy, for a person who is used to life in the barracks, is very bad. The disease is spreading. And the managers here are extremely procrastinating and careless. Everything goes according to the idea of laziness. A lot of people were lying on the ground, motionless. If it's not that they're still breathing, or if they're too upset while eating. No one will think they are alive. It's simply the hell of a thing.

Most of the recruits were weak. It's like not having enough to eat.

For the Republican soldiers, who were accustomed to high morale, Zhang Da could be very dissatisfied, and he was even very annoyed by what he saw here.

But getting angry doesn't solve the problem, and he's here to solve the problem, not to get angry at a bunch of idiots.

Soon, he began to quickly rectify all the problems he saw. He wants to establish order.

First, restore hygiene. What he needed was a clean and tidy place, and he was going to recruit more than 20,000 people to clean the entire area. Second, order. Identification tags are clear, and food is not given if there is no identification badge. More workers are distributed, and less workers are distributed. Third, it is necessary to reorganize the organization and strengthen management according to the unit of 100 households, and strengthen the loose management mode. And then on this basis, the militia system is created. For all the power that stands in the way. He kicked it up unceremoniously.
