Shi Jin was very happy when he heard that he was going to let him test the martial arts of the new recruits in the school, this was an affirmation of his martial arts, just like letting students be invigilators, it was as exciting as letting students be invigilators, and Shi Jin and Wang Jin had made great progress in learning art during this time.

Chao Gai said: "This room is small, you can go to my village to compete." ”

This kind of school examination is generally not open to the public, so Chao Gai took Lu Fang to the small school field in the backyard of his home. There are many wooden weapons in the trees on both sides, which are carefully crafted by carpenters, which are very strong and can avoid damage during real weapon competitions.

Lu Fang chose a Fang Tian painting halberd, and Shi Jin took a small flower gun.

Lu Fang hugged his fists and said, "Please advise." ”

"Don't dare to advise, just learn from each other." Shi Jindao.

After the two saluted, they began to compete, and each opened the door, Lu Fang's halberd was as fast as a dragon distracted and stabbed, Shi Jin blocked it, and the big gun swept. The two fought in one place, and the fight was very fierce.

After more than a dozen rounds, Lu Fang's moves were chaotic, although he was known as Xiao Wenhou, he was actually far worse than Lu Bu. However, it seems that it is mainly because there is no famous teacher to guide the result, and it belongs to the growth of military generals.

Immediately, Chao Gai said: "Stop." ”

The two of them stood up separately, Shi Jinqi didn't grow out, but Lu Fang was already starting to get tired.

Chao Gai said: "Brother Lu's halberd is still a little hot, but Brother Lu may be tired and in poor health for days, so his strength is not good, and his skills still need to be strengthened." It just so happened that I got a golden dragon swallowing halberd a few days ago, and I have made a small achievement in using the painting halberd, if Brother Lu is willing, I can teach it to you, and we will make progress together. ”

Lu Fang was overjoyed: "My brother is naturally very happy to teach me." ”

"Okay, from now on you will be a member of my Yuncheng regimental training, although you are good, but you can't be said to be a master, so you can only start from a small soldier, do you have any complaints?" Chao Gai said.

Lu Fang said: "Everything is arranged by my brother, and there will be no complaints." ”

Shi Jindao: "In the future, everyone will be brothers, and we often learn martial arts when we have time." ”

"You are welcome to join, if there is anything you don't understand, just ask me." Shi Xiu said.

Jiao Ting took fifty yuan of the settlement fee to Lu Fang, and Lu Fang shirked it for a long time before accepting it.

Chao Gai said: "Being a soldier is only for a while, and being a talent is a lifetime." Your first job is to go to Liu Tang cavalry to train basically, and after training, follow the team to the nearby village to help the village do work or something. ”

Lu Fang agreed one by one, and immediately Chao Gai arranged for Shi Xiu to take Lu Fang back to the barracks, bathe and change clothes, register his name and receive waist cards, armor, weapons, etc. On the second morning, I went to Liu Tang's place to report, Liu Tang was also very happy to see a newcomer, and now Liu Tang is not as tired as before with the help of Wen Zhongrong and Cui Ye.

Liu Tang explained in detail all kinds of rules, especially the implementation of military orders, usually everything is easy to say, you can talk about it, but there can be no discount in the execution of orders, this is the rule. Lu Fang also expressed his understanding, and immediately said: "I promise to obey the order." ”

Liu Tang temporarily arranged Lu Fang to urge the wilderness. Cui Ye led fifty cavalrymen, and he was also a small officer. Horses were immediately arranged for Lu Fang, and Lu Fang could ride horses, and his riding skills were not bad, and even horse battles were not bad.

The morning drill is very tiring, and the cavalry also has to run cross-country, of course, cross-country cannot be ridden. When I came back from cross-country, I had to groom my horse before I could have breakfast.

In the restaurant, Lu Fang followed everyone to sit at the dining table, sang the song of eating, and then brought the food to the class. The meal was very good, a pot of fried chicken nuggets, and there were red things on it, of course, Lu Fang didn't know that this was a chili pepper, as well as pickles, millet porridge, boiled eggs, and steamed buns.

After training a morning, Lu Fang was hungry and wanted to start eating immediately, Cui Ye introduced: "Although all kinds of rules have been said, it is inevitable that you will forget that breakfast has been very rich recently, and there is chicken." However, the chicken is limited, ten people are in one pot, and each person has two eggs. There is no limit to pickles, millet porridge, and steamed buns, and you can eat as much as you want, but you can't waste it, and you will be punished if you waste it. Therefore, what you should pay attention to when eating is not to eat too much, let alone waste. ”

"Thanks for the reminder." Lu Fangdao.

Cui Ye said with a smile: "In the future, they will all be brothers who were born and died together on the battlefield, you don't have to be polite about this, come, hurry up and eat." You've never eaten this dish anywhere else. ”

Lu Fang sandwiched a large piece of chicken, took a bite, stuck out his tongue, and said again and again: "It's so spicy, it's so spicy." It tastes good though. ”

"It's called chili, and it's hard to eat in the market. Eat more if it's delicious. Cui Ye said.

After eating, Lu Fang thought that he still had to go to training, but Cui Ye gathered the team, and everyone walked out of the barracks, only taking the cavalry knife hanging on his waist. However, I also took shovels, axes and other tools.

Lu Fang was very strange and asked, "What are we doing here?" ”

"You'll know when you get there." Cui Ye didn't say anything.

The group soon arrived at the place, which was a village made of tents and cabins, but it was very neat and clean. Many children in the village happily played snowball fights around.

"Lu Fang, you take ten people to overhaul the house, see which house has signs of damage to the roof, and repair it immediately, so as not to be crushed by the snow and hurt the population." Cui Ye ordered.

"Yes." Lu Fang is a layman, but there are other soldiers, they seem to do this often, carefully overhauling the houses one by one, and the villagers are also very enthusiastic, some pour hot water, and some help deal with some things within their ability.

In fact, there were very few damaged houses, most of them were very good, only a small number of houses showed signs of damage, and the soldiers immediately strengthened and put them in order.

Lu Fang asked a soldier, "What kind of village is this, and why is it so simple?" ”

"These are refugees from Qingzhou, the strong ones have gone to work in mines or other factories, and this village is mainly old and weak women. Therefore, we have to come over to help once in ten days and half a month in the group training, mainly to repair the house and other things. ”

Lu Fang asked again: "Then do you still charge them money?" ”

The soldier smiled and said, "Even what they eat is paid for by Chao Tuanlian, let alone help them do some work, of course, we don't come every day, we will spare one or two days a month." ”

Lu Fang never thought that he would have to work for the people when he became a soldier, and which of the soldiers in other places did not raise his eyebrows and blow his beard and stare at the people, but the soldiers here are not, and they have a good relationship with the people. Of course, the people themselves will not let the soldiers do what they can do, and both sides respect and understand each other, just like a family.

Lu Fang began to slowly adapt to this new life, because of his physical ability, and even lost to Shi Jin, who was younger than him, Lu Fang was still very self-motivated and trained very hard.

The group practiced the big tent, and Chao Gai sat in the center.

Wu Yong was not busy with things, Zhu Wu and Gongsun Sheng sat in turn, and there were not many people in the future, only Liu Tang, Niu Gao, Bian Xiang, Du Qian and a few others.

Chao Gai said: "There are some things I want to discuss with you, recently our caravan found that there are still a lot of refugees in Qingzhou, at least 10,000 people who can't eat and drink, all of them have been affected by the locust plague this year, and there are many farmers who have failed to harvest and reduced yields. Among the 10,000 refugees, there are at least 3,000 young and middle-aged people, and even if 1,000 of them are selected to be in the best physical fitness. ”

Gongsun Sheng shook his horse's tail and brushed the dust and said, "Brother means you want to recruit them?" ”

"That's exactly what it means."

Gongsun Sheng sighed: "It's a good thing that my brother loves the people, but sometimes I love the people and I am tired of it." The cost of relocating 10,000 displaced people is quite large, and I am afraid that it will increase the financial burden and make ends meet. ”

Zhu Wudao: "We have recruited six or seven thousand craftsmen this year and resettled six or seven thousand refugees. Most of the refugee brothers said they could be arranged to work in the textile factory, but they didn't know how many more people the factory could recruit. ”

"It is not a problem for the textile factory to recruit a total of 5,000 female workers, and the garment factory to recruit another 2,000 people. This time it is 7,000 people, although it is mainly local, but our Yuncheng is a small county, if we recruit too much, it will affect agricultural production. ”

Gongsun Sheng said: "As long as I can resettle them, I will definitely support them, and I am willing to go to Qingzhou and bring refugees over in the past." ”

"Okay, then it's hard for Mr. Gongsun. Those who are willing to come will come, and each person who is not willing to come will leave fifty catties of sorghum rice, which can be regarded as the end of benevolence and righteousness. You can't bring more troops into Qingzhou this time, you lead the refugees along the road near the river, so that the soldiers can get food and grass supplies from the boat, so that the refugees will not freeze and starve to death on the road. ”

Gongsun Sheng said: "Okay, without further ado, I'll do it." ”

Niu Gao said: "10,000 refugees, the walking line is also very long, and the people have no discipline, it is inevitable that there will be trouble along the way, so it is better for me to take people to maintain order." ”

Chao Gai and Zhu Wu discussed it and issued an order, and Gongsun Sheng was solely responsible for recruiting refugees. Du Qian accompanied the baggage ship to transport grain and grass, Niu Gao led the troops to escort him, and Shi Jin, Shi Xiu, Chen Da, and Yang Chun accompanied him for practice.

The team set off in a mighty way, and the soldiers went in two ways.

At this time, far away in the Hujiazhuang of Dongping Mansion, in the hall of the Hujia family, Hu Sanniang sat in the middle, and on both sides were more than a dozen elderly Zhuangli people.

One of them said: "Zhujiazhuang relies on people to be strong and strong, and the 3,000 acres of wasteland that originally belonged to our village insist on belonging to them Zhujiazhuang, which is really annoying, and it is not to say that it is their land." ”

It turns out that due to the recent rise of various businesses, peppercorns, which were not very valued, have become very valuable. This small shrub is resistant to barrenness and can be planted in barren mountains and wilderness. Hujiazhuang has a wasteland for many years and no one has paid attention to it, Zhujiazhuang recently heard that planting pepper can make money, so he plans to plant this wasteland with pepper, so there is a controversy.

Hu Sanniang said: "Zhu Biao must think that my brother is not in the village and thinks that we are easy to bully, tomorrow I will bring all the Zhuang guests, let's go to the barren beach to reason with him." ”

"Okay, everything is arranged by Sanniang." The people answered.
