Chapter 15: Continue to Live (II
"Ask the general how well."
Zhou Huai'an greeted as he learned the title of others.
"Monk, the sobering soup you gave Lao Feng is really good."
The other party patted him on the shoulder heavily,
"After I drank it, I vomited happily, and I slept well until dawn."
"It's over, it's just a gesture."
Zhou Huai'an could only make a grinning expression of pain, and barely pulled the corners of his mouth on his face and smiled humbly.
"It's good to be useful."
In his heart, he said that this is just a recipe made of tea stalks and old ginger to clear the abdomen and induce vomiting, and other better things are not nothing, but there is no suitable opportunity to use them.
"Since they are all brothers in the camp."
The leader who claimed to be Wang Pan waved his hand as if he heard his heart.
"From now on, you will call me a king, or a general."
"If you have any good things, just take them out, and if you have any ideas, just say to me."
At this moment, Zhou Huai'an seemed to see the top of the other party's head, and numbers like +1, +1, and +1 flashed between them;
Well, at least for the beginning of the mountain, the most preliminary purpose has already had a beginning; Although it is likely to be a big phrase and empty promise, it also means that it is publicly possible to obtain permission to communicate and negotiate with the upper echelons of this small corner in the future.
Not everyone can get a good impression, for example, the team officer who followed the crowd became a big bite, and he looked like he was watching coldly with thick eyebrows. Therefore, even if they gradually walked away, Zhou Huai'an could still hear some of them whispering.
"General, I still can't trust this monk of unknown origin."
Apparently it was Cheng Da who couldn't wait to start questioning.
"How can such a person be willing to serve the rebels."
"I'm afraid that there is something to be done and what is wanted."
"Biter, I know you've suffered the loss of the official and military spies. It's natural to be alert."
But it's another voice
"But this monk was recommended by Xiao Chai."
"What kind of person is Xiao Chai, and he has had a lifelong friendship with the head of the general many times."
"Why do you have to bear any heart in vain?"
"What's the use of saying this, you need to know it."
Then he was interrupted by the king's head.
"Now if the Furious Wind Camp wants to continue to grow, it is indispensable to add all kinds of people."
"There are many more schemes and desires. It's really not bad for him, a wild monk. ”
"But most of them don't end up being able to use them except for filling in the trenches. In particular, the number of people in this camp who can write and count is even more rare. ”
"It's naturally easy to kill or drive away a spy for no reason, but where do you go to find another substitute to do things?"
Speaking of this, Wang lowered his head again, and glanced at Zhou Huai'an quite covertly before reassuring.
"The scholars who have been recruited all the way before, but they haven't been able to keep one."
"This monk is certainly stronger, and his demeanor and conversation don't look like waiting to come out."
"But what's in our way at the moment? Can it be used and how effective is it? ”
"Of course, in case this person has other intentions,"
"In daily life, I have to bother you to keep an eye on it. Let's see if there are any acts of spying and harm. ”
Overhearing this, Zhou Huai'an couldn't help but sigh, sure enough, it is not so simple to easily gain the trust of strangers, especially the characters who have a certain power and status, almost all of them are not fuel-efficient lamps. But that's just the beginning.
After cleaning his teeth and face with a cloth soaked in water, Zhou Huai'an, who had simply eaten a very simple breakfast, found that the first thing he had to face was a hill-like pile of debris. Isn't my first task to sort garbage?
Most of them were in the midst of all sorts of booty and miscellaneous objects of unknown purpose that had been brought in from the places along the way. It's just that the ready-made products that seem to be relatively intact and can be used directly, or valuable items have been picked up, and the rest are all broken things that others don't want.
From old and new damaged swords, armor, and banners, to bloodstained or filthy robes, trousers, hips, blouses, shoes, boots, bedding, and even all kinds of pots and pans, bottles, bottles, and jars, from shovels, hoes, forks and other agricultural tools to tools such as saws, hammers, axes, chisels, and other suspected hardware, carpentry, and clays, and even women's clothes and skirts, shoes and makeup boxes;
In the end, there are many things that even he, a well-informed modern person, really can't say the purpose, just piled up in such a mess.
Fortunately, he did not do it alone, but could ask a few rough battalion servants as temporary tribes and envoys, and most of the time he only needed to move his mouth and pen and paper, and dispose of the useful and the useless separately.
It's just that, perhaps, among the husbands of these miscellaneous envoys, there are people who are responsible for monitoring and observing their actions nearby, and this sorting task is also a disguised examination school? , Zhou Huai'an secretly guessed so.
In the eyes of a former wasteland survivor and a field DIY enthusiast who is active on the Internet, even picking up junk can detect enough tricks and combinations. This time, it can be regarded as playing in this dislocated era first.
After spending a whole day simply classifying and determining the ownership, and requesting a sufficient number of temporary helpers to serve as coolies, Zhou Huai'an quickly entered this short-lived role and was very busy.
The first to be cleared out are those weapons and armor that are damaged in different ways, which is also the equipment that can be quickly used, and it is also the best place to reflect the results.
For example, a broken and broken sword can be made into a short blade and a dagger after a little polishing and modification; Even small pieces of metal can be polished and attached to the head of a wooden stick to make some kind of grossly irregular spear-like weapon, or a thicker stick inlaid to serve as a wolf's fang.
Then there are the broken armor and helmets, which are basically engaged in splicing and sewing work; Holes and piercings are patched with iron needles and anvils, or several large pieces are stitched together in different positions after the broken edges are cut and replaced.
Because of the losses on the way south, the Furious Wind Battalion was almost blank in terms of logistical support personnel, and in the end only two non-commissioned officers who had worked as blacksmiths were found, a tailor who had worked as an apprentice tailor and a man with simple carpentry skills. These sorted things are thrown at them to be slowly concocted.
The second was the sorting and cleaning of clothing, shoes, socks, tents, blankets, various fabrics and leather goods, and then, after further sewing and drying, they were redistributed as items in the public school to improve the personal appearance of the battalion sergeants. At the very least, let those new pawns have something to wrap themselves in.
This is followed by the repair and classification of various agricultural tools and tools, which are then distributed to the personnel with their own expertise as an auxiliary means to enhance the efficiency of daily construction and labor.
Containers of various sizes, after being washed and emptied, can be used to store food and articles such as rice, pickles, wine, salt and sand, or as cooking pots and water storage vessels. While the smaller ones can be issued to individuals as cutlery and jugs.
And the tattered furniture furnishings that were obviously useless were not used simply and rudely to directly chop wood for fire, but used the meagre carpentry skills in the camp to transform them into parts such as lifting frames, bed boards, desks and carts, and even the simplest wooden hand. . .
In the end, even a woman's clothes can be cut and cut apart, and according to the original color, they can be made into smaller flags and straps, and even other cloth products such as sweat towels;
After all kinds of assignments and arrangements, it only took a few days for most of the motley objects like a hill to disappear and become ready-made items that were distributed in various ways.
Of course, as the only person in charge of statistics and registration, he first used the items selected from these miscellaneous items to equip himself first, and by the way, the details on his body that were obviously out of place and different from this era were further processed and covered up.
After all, if you want to leave these peasant armies in the future, two or more pairs of good boots and shoes are an effective guarantee for basic mobility; Then there are the sunscreen and coverings with certain rain protection functions that are necessary for low-latitude subtropical areas; Then there are some inconspicuous but essential personal items and gadgets, most of which require Zhou Huai'an to spend some time collecting, recrafting, and adjusting before they can come in handy.
After initially reflecting their value and role, the next step is to collect various news and consultations with the convenience and leisure opportunities of work.
