So, in other places.

About the newly promoted "virtual monk" actually assisted the "Chai Child" to subdue and accommodate the vast majority of the bearded sons in the camp; For a while, it also caused a series of repercussions and rumors.

At a party.

"This void monk must be dizzy."

A veteran of the rebel army covered in scars but wearing ribbon silk poured a bearded drink in his hand:

"Since ancient times, the selection of soldiers has been the first to use the children of their own family to feel at ease. No matter how much else you choose, it's a miscellaneous stream. ”

"Why did it get to him, but he came over, and the more miscellaneous he liked, the better."

"It's Hu Xianzi again, it's Gui Guanbing, it's Chaoyang Zi, it's Longchuan Mountain People, I heard that there are still fish households and watermen, plus the original angry old man,。。。 What a mess of all that,"

"If it really comes to the key head, how can the people's hearts be in order. It's hard to know if it's expensive or not. ”

"Maybe people just like this tune.,I want to train an elite soldier from it.。。 Ahh

"You also have to be considerate of other people, the monks have returned to the world to join the army, and there are no relatives and friends of the clan who are old and pitiful, and it is no wonder that you have to think of some ways to do it."

Of course, the person who said this was laughing with the female playman, and there was no sympathy at all.

The rest thought that he was in a hurry to go to the doctor. Seeing that the northern expedition of the army is imminent. There is really no one at hand, so I will move the minds of those sins. ”

"Let's look at the monk's joke... Didn't they all say that he would train soldiers? ”

。。。。。。

Compared with the noise caused by these sediments, there is good news for Zhou Huai'an recently; It is the author of "Lingbiaolu Different", Liu Sui, who was Sima in Guangzhou, has been found by sorting out the household registration books of Guangzhou over the years, and it is said that the small pendant was found in the process of sorting out household registration documents;

This also made Zhou Huai'an a little relieved, and finally evolved from a useless live pillow that could only eat, to a little more useful gadget. So now, with the guarantee of the lives of more than a dozen members of the family, he took a few disciples to another training center opened in Xunzhou.

It's just that before leaving, the small pendant seems to be very preoccupied, and the twisted Lai by his side repeatedly confirmed to Zhou Huai'an that he will not deliberately torture or mutilate these old people who have done things for the court or the government, but will make their director useful.

Along with him, one of the few agricultural experts at that time, there were hundreds of professionals of all kinds who had also been found through the cleaning of household registration, which were used as teachers for the workshop; According to Zhou Huai'an's announcement in the name of the rebels in the local area:

Except for the children selected from among the rebels, all local people who can understand the written language can apply for the training center and be provided with corresponding basic food and lodging; If you have completed the course of accounting, 100 labors or agriculture for half a year to a year, you will be qualified to serve as a low-level official; If the outstanding performers can even consider making an exception to change officials.

Of course, in this feudal era with the small peasant economy as the foundation, the promotion and promotion of agriculture is the most priority and the most necessary focus and key; Being able to increase production under the rule of the rebels means that it can feed more people, or provide better nutrition and physical fitness bonuses on the basis of the existing population/soldiers; There are even more surplus products and means of production that can be invested in other aspects of construction; Or through the liberated manpower, it can be more efficiently transformed into resource output in mines and workshops.

Therefore, in addition to Liu Sui, the author of "Lingbiaolu Difference", who has carefully investigated the agricultural ecology, Zhou Huai'an actually wants to find another person of the same era; That is, together with the contemporary great poet Pi Rixiu, he is called "Pi Lu", known as the tortoise Meng and Mr. Fuli who are unique in the late Tang Dynasty poetry; In addition to his identity as a poet, he is also a rare agricultural master;

As an outlier among the scholars, one of his major hobbies is agronomy, and he has accumulated many years of experience through mixing with the mud-legged people and personally participating in agricultural production labor, and has written a book that guides how to respond to different weather, species, and regional differences, and how to create and use various agricultural tools for farming, and even farmland and water conservancy management. The "Book of Sheng" and "Niu Gong Ci" handed down from the Western Han Dynasty are known as the "Three Treasures of the Farm".

The Quyuan plow, which only appeared in the Anshi Rebellion, as well as relatively advanced agricultural tools such as climbing, sharpening and luqi, were all popularized after he summarized them. In addition, there are also "Silver" (biological control of citrus pests), "Poultry Storm" (the harm of wild ducks and seagulls to rice grains), "Remembering Rice Rats" (prevention and control of rice field rodents), "Nanjing Fisherman" (encouraging rice field fish farming) and other hand-me-down works.

Even a series of hand-me-down works, including the "Complete Book of Agricultural Administration" in later generations, have to be cited and borrowed a lot from them; However, it is a pity that the original of the "Plough Sutra" has been lost in history because of the war between the two Song Dynasty, Liao, Jin and Yuan Dynasties. It's just that he is obviously still studying agriculture in his hometown in Changzhou, which temporarily makes Zhou Huai'an a little out of reach; Otherwise, how can we find a way to get it and contribute to the construction of the righteous army.

In addition, he has just received new news and instructions from Chaozhou. It is said that after just a few days, the Fujian maritime merchant Suo Luomeng personally brought the ship over again.

The last time he brought the news was that the continuous confrontation between Zheng Yi, the Fuzhou observation envoy who was forced to go to Jianzhou, with the support of Liang Zhan, the envoy from Wenzhou, and Chen Yan, the powerful faction who actually occupied Fuzhou, the general of Huanglian Town and the deputy envoy of the Fuzhou regiment, caused a serious famine in the local area.

Therefore, during this period, many displaced people came from the two prefectures of Zhang, Quanzhou, which are adjacent to the Chaoshan coast. Most of them are local farmers and fishermen who can't survive, and it is said that the tax collection there is so heavy that they have to go out to sea to fish; And through fishing boats, sampans and other things directly along the Hai'an, thousands of people have landed on their own one after another.

Therefore, according to Zhou Huai'an's instructions, the Fufeng Battalion has already organized local shelters and patrols on the coast, so as not to have any impact on the fishery production and farming that has just been restored in the local area. In addition to the exchange of goods between the north and the south, Solomeng, on behalf of some maritime merchants in Fujian, continued to increase the purchase of grain from the Pearl River valley where Guangfu was located through the Chaoshan region to prepare for famine;

In addition, he made a private suggestion asking if he would be willing to accept human trafficking as a discount and offset for goods; Because of the large number of displaced people in the local area, almost the suburbs outside the city of Zhang, Quan, Ding and other places have been gnawed into white ground; Among them, the young and strong were pulled by the opposing sides to be cannon fodder and fill the pits; As a big maritime merchant with a little conscience, he is willing to provide a chance to the remaining old and weak women and children.

So when I came this time, I asked if I would like to bring some young women and children over; Because according to the local market, even a young lady who is not married only needs to pay 300 to 500 yuan, and a married woman is cheaper; As for those children, it can be used as a one-to-one add-on and sent for free.

Compared with those goods that need to go to Mingzhou and Hongzhou to sell, the cycle and time are much shorter if they are sold directly from Fujian; Almost close to each other can be traveled in a day and night; Far away, it's only a little more than two days; Because those in the interior who can't survive have already fled to the coast. And those who are old, weak, sick and disabled will not be able to go far at all, and will die on the trek of the mountain road and will be eliminated naturally.

Of course, Zhou Huai'an is happy to see the success of this as many as possible, and on behalf of the vast number of officers and men raising the army, he raised five branches to fully support and welcome it.

Young women in ancient times were not hypocrisy in today's peaceful environment, influenced by Western feminism. As long as you have enough to eat, you can immediately go to work in the field or work in the factory; Although the physical strength and endurance are slightly weaker than those of men, in the relatively trivial jobs of breeding, silk reeling, weaving and dyeing, and even medicine and health, there are other delicate and long-lasting concentrations that men do not have.

In addition, it can also be used to produce a population and make up for the population dispersion and losses caused by the war, and it is also a potential incentive and hope for the vast majority of singles who have not yet been mixed. It is much better to draw them a big pie that seems to be within reach than to make people unable to hold back and run to harm the local people.

In addition, Qu Rong, the representative of the Annam Metropolitan Protectorate and a member of the Qu clan of the local Hongzhou wealthy family, also came back again.

However, this time, in addition to escorting ten ships of rice and high-quality timber for the official trade, more than 600 buffaloes and 8,600 old cowhides were trafficked across the sea from the local port of Hepu in the name of individuals and families. Among them, the cowhide was used to meet the needs of military production, and it was sold at a price of 400 wen per sheet; The price of each buffalo is five and four sections of coarse silk, and most of them were received by Chaoxun through Zhou Huai'an's distribution.

More than 300 good bullocks were distributed to dozens of tuntians, workshops, and mines and metallurgical areas that had been established in the local area, which was also a large supplement of animal power. The specific delivery price is offset by coarsely dried sea salt and cured meat, pottery, silk cloth, and some stone honey;

In the end, it was Zhou Huai'an who planned to take the time to submit a submission to the General's Mansion.

Since there is a relatively stable supply of calories and a certain level of health, the pastimes in the army can be relatively abundant; Of course, in today's Chaozhou, in addition to storytelling and watching white operas, it mainly emphasizes fitness and competition;

For example, sword fighting (wooden weapon fighting), Jiao Jie (wrestling), horse racing, archery (archery) battlement, Qiaoguan (weightlifting), running, climbing, obstacle course and other individual competitions, to collective confrontation of polo, juju, fighting ball (unlimited flying ball introduction for full body protection) and many other ancient and modern Chinese and foreign choices.

It's just that because of the limited conditions and input cost considerations, the most common ones in the Furious Wind Camp are sword fighting (wooden weapon fighting), angle fighting (wrestling), archery (arrow) battlement, warping (weightlifting), running, and a reduced version of the short-distance weight-bearing obstacle climbing; Collective confrontation is a ball fight.

This time, it was rare for the rebels to gather around Guangfu, just in time to hold a big competition in the form of friendship, which could be regarded as a warm-up and warm-up preparation for the next Northern Expedition.
