After Bai Jinxiu left, Jiang Chuan took people to the recruit camp to inspect the training of recruits.

The teaching team headed by Guan Hu and Su Dingfang has now become the cradle of model instructors in the new barracks. The original thirty people had already completed the training according to the training syllabus established by Jiang Chuan, and most of them were assigned to each squad to serve as the squad leader, that is, the actual commander in charge of training.

Then each team is still constantly selecting and training pacesetters to join the teaching team, and after a short training, they return to the original unit as a captain to assist the squad leader in training.

In this way, a steady stream of instructors was trained, and the progress of the training of the entire boot camp was greatly accelerated.

In Jiang Chuan's opinion, in addition to the fact that the recruits in front of him have different military uniforms and do not have the modern weapons in their previous lives, their spirit and neatness of the queue are not inferior to the army in their previous lives.

"I think we can get them to start firecracker training." Jiang Chuan looked at the hot training situation on the field of the colonel, and nodded to Ran Wu, who was accompanying him.

"My lord, but no one in our army is familiar with the use and training methods of firearms, as well as the maintenance methods of firearms." Ran Wu asked a question.

"You, are you still worried about having no silver flowers in Baoshan?" Jiang Chuan said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Ran Wu didn't understand for a while.

"We don't understand, but someone does. Among those Ming army prisoners, there are many people who know how to shoot firearms. Don't forget, the proportion of firearms in the Ming army is very high. Since we are going to allocate and recruit prisoners, let's pick out those who can make firecrackers to be the first batch of recruits, and let them join the new barracks, both as recruits and as firecracker instructors, isn't this the best of both worlds? Jiang Chuan smiled and said it thoroughly.

When Ran Wu heard this, he suddenly realized: "What the lord said is extremely true, this is indeed a good way." ”

"The idea is given to you, you have to find a way to improve the specific rules yourself, in short, my request is that before the offensive is launched in the spring next year, these recruits must all form combat effectiveness. And all the captives have to be reorganized. Jiang Chuan turned his head to look at Ran Wu and said in a deep voice.

"The last general will obey the order, and he will definitely not disappoint the lord." Ran Wu clenched his fists and said.

A few people watched it for a while, and Jiang Chuan encouraged Guan Hu and Su Dingfang again, which was equivalent to giving them a thorough ventilation in advance and making them mentally prepared for fire gun training.

Guan Hu and the others admired Jiang Chuan at this time, and Jiang Chuan's words were much better for them than the emperor's holy decree. Both of them firmly promised that they would not disgrace Jiang Chuan, that they would be the first to learn the use and maintenance of firearms, and that they would become shooting pacesetters in the new barracks.

After explaining this, Jiang Chuan instructed the logistics again, so that the food must be sufficient, and the daily meals must be enough, so that the recruits can have full motivation to train.

After leaving the barracks, Jiang Chuan took people to inspect the villages where the people of the valley lived.

Today's villages are nominally villages, but due to the terrain in the valley, they are very close to each other. Jiang Chuan visited one by one, focusing on checking whether the houses where the people lived were solid enough and whether the heating facilities were in place. The other is to check whether each family has enough food to eat.

After visiting several villages, I found that the situation was better than I had imagined. None of the houses where the people lived collapsed because of the heavy snow. Almost every family lives on a firestand. Even if you don't have a stove, you can survive this winter.

Moreover, all the craftsmen of the pan fire kang and the mud stove are paid by the Department of Civil Affairs, and they are also given to the cook, and the work enthusiasm of these craftsmen is also very high.

When Jiang Chuan inspected, he happened to meet several families who were asking craftsmen to make kang clay stoves for their own homes, and the people were very excited when they saw Jiang Chuan coming, and almost the whole village rushed out to see Wu Anhou.

When have these people ever seen an official go to the countryside to see if you live well and whether you have enough to eat? Not to mention a person as expensive as Hou Ye, even a small county magistrate would not do such a thing.

Coupled with the kindness of Jiang Chuan's protection and the prestige he had accumulated, in the eyes of the people, Jiang Chuan was the embodiment of the savior.

Therefore, many enthusiastic people saw Jiang Chuan coming, and they all came out to entertain him with their best things, including local eggs, all kinds of vegetables and meat, and some people had treasured soju, and the enthusiasm of the crowd made Jiang Chuan really feel what it means to win the hearts of the people and win the world.

I didn't waste so much of my previous efforts.

In addition, Jiang Chuan was surprised to find that several small markets had spontaneously formed at the junction between the various villages. Although the so-called market is actually a barter point.

After all, the people don't have any valuables in their hands, and the vast majority of people don't have much money at home, so this so-called market is to take out the things that each family doesn't need to replace them with others, and everyone takes what they need. Of course, it is okay to buy with money and replace with goods, as long as the two parties negotiate.

These small markets do not have markets every day, but are divided into three, six, nine, or one, four, seven, or two, five, eight.

Today happens to be the sixteenth day of the winter month, which happens to be the day of the market in one of the small markets. In the bazaar less than 500 meters, there are really a lot of people, men, women and children, crowded next to each other, and the voices of people are all looking at what they like. There were stalls on both sides of the street, some people spread a piece of leather on the ground to put their goods on it, and those who had no money used some thatch to put things on it.

There are even people who set up straw huts on the roadside and put their goods in the straw sheds to sell.

"Wu Anhou has arrived!" The civil affairs officer in charge of the guidance in front looked at this situation, and his heart was not scored, he glanced at Jiang Chuan with an exclamation of surprise, and shouted loudly.

In fact, the people had already seen this heavily armored procession, and when they heard the shouts of the little officials, they quickly quieted down, and knelt down on the streets on both sides one by one, with respectful expressions and fear.

"The grass people see Hou Ye, Hou Ye Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose!"

Someone took the lead, and a crowd shouted.

Anyway, everyone watched the play, long live was used by the emperor, so Chitose should be used by a noble person like Hou Ye, so they all took it and used it directly, regardless of whether it was right or not.

Chitose heard this voice, and Jiang Chuan had the feeling that he had become the king of the eight sages.

"Everybody get up." Jiang Chuan said loudly, but the crowd didn't dare to get up, and still knelt.

Jiang Chuan frowned, looked at the civil affairs official in front of him, and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?" ”

The little official looked at Jiang Chuan's serious face, and fell to the ground with a puff and said urgently: "Master Hou, there is really nothing the villain can do about this matter." The people have the need to exchange trade, but our Guzhong decree does not explicitly say whether it is possible to set up a private market, so it is not easy for the villains to forcibly persuade them, and ask the Hou Ye to forgive them! ”

When Jiang Chuan heard this, he understood, and these people were afraid that they would blame them. After all, the last time 700 people were killed on the shore of the Great Lake, the deep impression of the people's heads rolling and blood staining the grass still makes many people remember it deeply.

This little official is right, there is indeed no prohibition on the establishment of markets in the decree designed by him and Liu Ji.
