When Fang Heyun's new work was sent to me for appreciation.

I was taking Ah Guta to dine in the garrison of the boy boy battalion that had been inspected, drinking the late rice, new wheat, corn crushed, sorghum rice, lentils, and multigrain porridge that had just been harvested for a long time.

Accompaniment to side dishes, the only meat color is the freshly caught loach wrapped in fried pastry, salted potato chips, syrup and loofah strips, and taro and vegetable oil puree, and some mulberry stuffed fruit wine, it has become the simplest meal.

In addition to the labor camp under the management of the organization, the surplus materials that have been calculated are taken out to form a women's camp and a boy camp, which is also a response to the current situation of the majority of local women and children when he first entered Qingzhou.

Although with the strength of the garrison and the proportion of foreign households, it is unlikely that these old and weak women and children in the local area will be incited to rebel against my rule, but it is too wasteful to leave them there to fend for themselves.

The women of the Northland, too, have the perseverance and endurance of the majority of the working people, and also have the corresponding ability to work, and are fully qualified for most and inferior labor-intensive work.

Therefore, since last winter, various army-related quilt factories, weaving and dyeing factories, silk reeling factories, mulberry fields, and orchards have all used women's battalions to work.

And these local children, although they can eat a little at the moment, and there is not much they can do, but in the long run, isn't this the best brainwashing and gradual shaping of potential soldiers and grassroots cadres, this is a long-term investment that will not lose money.

Therefore, even if I pay out of my own pocket and transport grain from Yizhou and other places by sea to supplement daily use, I must maintain the operation of this daily system, which is basically in negative returns.

Therefore, I even issued a special decree with a personal color, that is, local children over the age of ten or three and a half feet must be sent to the government to undergo a five-year compulsory collective life in the name of work and study.

In order to avoid overly strong military overtones, these temporary places are called student labor camps, and they are allowed to go home and live for two days every ten years.

As a result, to my surprise, after the news spread, contrary to the original expectation of a cold reception, the number of unsuitable children sent from all over the country was almost full of people of unsuitable age outside the collection site.

Only then did I realize that I had miscalculated what I had overlooked, as the ancients did not have the concept of family planning, in order to save materials, the only entertainment program left after dark was to create people, so many people were born and died.

Especially in the year of famine, in order to reduce the mouths of the family to eat, selling children and daughters is also a norm, and even cannibalism is not impossible.

At this time, in the torment of the long winter, the people who were struggling to support themselves suddenly heard that there was a place willing to accept these children, or an institution in the context of the government, the sooner they got rid of the burden and burden, the better.

They were even worried that there would be a limit, so they rushed over at the first time. Many children, even hungry, were sent to the camps, as the so-called little was saved.

As for my worries about local backlash and boycotts, the dismantling of people's infamy, and the transformation of good governance into bad governance, there is not much soil for them to happen.

At least, after alerting the suffering of the turmoil of the troubled times, the people in these places seem to have a rather simple equivalent exchange plot, that is, there is never a cheap price in the world, and since these children have been sent over, they are like selling themselves to the government, just like those apprentices in the industry, who need to be repaid with the service and hard work of their future lives.

Maybe because of this, under the jurisdiction of the government, you can get a livelihood and the ability to make a living, so it doesn't matter if you live or die, you should be beaten or scolded, how to toss and discipline, it is a matter of course.

Therefore, after the initial scale, like the adults in the labor camp, some of the children in the boy camp who were in better physical condition, more tenacious and willing to endure hardships and learn quickly, were specially selected and organized into special young soldiers.

Now

These children, who had been selected extraordinarily tall, were shaking their bodies in the hot air, and they were walking according to the rules of the army's organization and shrinkage standards.

Their weapons consisted of short wooden sticks four feet long, so that when they grew up and became proficient in their wielding, they could probably be used as spears and guns.

The daily life is the collective life of a house of 30 people, and a large house is a fire and three shes, each with the fire chief and the head of the junior team, plus a small flag bearer and trumpeter.

Get up every day, gather the flag and exercise, after a simple breakfast, begin to enter the workshop of the military family, do some sorting, piecemeal manual work straight road noon bell ringing,

After the lunch of the basic tube, it is a cross-country trek and an exercise outside the camp, as well as some equipment training and confrontation, until it is dark.

In the evening, there are night readings and seminars, mainly for enlightenment, literacy and indoctrination, and the military-style sense of collective identity and superiority.

As the so-called lie is told a hundred times, it becomes true, not to mention these, children who receive repeated daily indoctrination, the basic three views are left to us, and they can be shaped how they want.

Therefore, for the sake of prudence, I personally participated in the compilation and supervision of their textbooks, within the framework of Spartan classical militarist education.

Special emphasis is placed on obedience and cooperation, loyalty and honor under the collective, as well as the simple principle of dedication of "I am for everyone, everyone is for me", and even the hidden connotation of working together to change the irrational phenomena of the world as long as we follow under my command.

According to future expectations, among them, the expertise and advantages of each year will eventually eliminate some personnel who are not physically good enough, or who are otherwise unsuitable for the army.

It is useful to be shunted to other areas of service and to continue to serve, even as a basic industrial worker, or as a member of a collective farm.

The military is only a general direction of batch shaping, and other areas under my rule also need enough self-trained batch manpower, rather than relying on external selection and local replenishment.

These young people, who bear the collective imprint and are cultivated in batches, can be used as part of the grassroots organizations in the future after a little experience and growth.

And as a kind of outstanding honor, the first members of it will be arranged to serve by my side, led by Aguta, which is another form of reserve soldiers.

At present, they are mainly involved in low-intensity work such as sorting and polishing in ordnance workshops and gunsmith workshops, which is not only a process of familiarizing themselves with weapons and armaments, but also conducive to secrecy and management.

After the full start of this month, the hydraulic gun factory located on the bank of Yishui has assembled about 1,600 pieces of standard long guns with one type and one type, and the average cost is about 16 yuan; If it is counted as money, it is 15,000 coins, fifteen large silver treasures.

In addition, through the transformation and use of the old-fashioned firecrackers provided by the national dynasty, at least 2,000 variegated firecrackers were obtained, and the modification fee for each rod was also about 5 yuan, totaling 4,500 yuan. The main cost is the processing accuracy of the body tube and machine parts, which is still to remove the transportation cost of the sea piggyback.

In contrast, the production of short guns and horn guns with simpler machining technology is larger, and if the precision is not too important, the output can at least double the production of long guns; As for the three-eyed gun, the short hand cannon has less demanding castings, and the number of finished products is even more. The allocation of production capacity to continue the production of these primary products is mainly used for the needs of second- and third-line equipment on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is mainly used as a daily process for training a sufficient number of skilled workers......

therefore

These guns seem like a lot, but they're only enough to equip one or two main battalions, or a few partially firearmed garrisons, and I've been in one battle, and the number of worn and lost spare parts is far more than that.

However, there is no way to do this, a qiē is still in the process of creating, as a self-production of firearms and large and small cannon barrels, the required technology is pre-positioned, in terms of current conditions, it is still very early.

However, it is not without good news, according to the craftsmanship and technology brought by foreign craftsmen provided by the fat hole, combined with the original hardware casting technology of Guangfu, as well as the craftsmanship of local craftsmen in Qingzhou to make clocks and large dings, especially the preliminary test of iron mold wet casting and hydraulic hot forging.

In terms of small batch output, in addition to the small cannons that can only be used to beat iron slag and are shaped like the caliber of large guns in later generations, it has been possible to try to make some small-caliber cast iron cannons with short firing range, such as catty heavy guns and sampan guns.

However, limited by the strength of materials and processes, in terms of specific service life and wear resistance, the iron chamber is far inferior to the traditional cast copper cannon, which is a relatively cheap alternative to short-range fire suppression by making up for quality with quantity.

After all, as a monetary raw material and a precious metal with a wide range of daily applications, copper is still scarce under my rule.

On the other hand, as the exclusive treatment of the young soldiers, they also have a non-staple food subsidy similar to that of adults, and some nutritional supplements of poultry meat and eggs, although the number of people is not very large, and it is distributed as an incentive for collective honor.

Today, in the large and small valleys of Mengshan hills, in addition to grazing cattle, horses, pigs and sheep, there are actually more than a dozen small animal and poultry farms.

Most of the seedlings are the chickens, ducks, geese, pikas and rabbits that are cultivated from the south after the beginning of spring, but when they arrive in Huaishang, which is close to the north, they will inevitably be frightened to death because of the water and soil adaptation and the bumps on the boat.

However, the rest, under the care of the poultry and livestock breeders invited by the Cantonese government, finally began to eat normally and be active after a short adaptation period. When I came back from this round, I had already heard that more than half of the farms had started to harvest their first eggs.

At present, the main mode is collective captivity and household free-range breeding, and the household-based free-range breeding is mainly a personal subsidy method of loan nature, plus the actual yàn of breeding improvement, and the output efficiency is basically negligible.

At present, it mainly relies on the output of collective captivity, and the leftovers processed after the harvest of crops are used daily, plus aged cang rice and earthworms, to feed these small poultry, therefore, the breeding is not slow, and the harvest cycle is relatively short, two or three months to three or four months can start to lay eggs, and within half a year can obtain the formed meat and poultry.

It's just that there will be some trouble in winter, and you should also pay attention to the infectious plague caused by too high density in spring and summer.

The breeding of these livestock, in turn, can also provide some organic fertilizers rich in nitrogen and sulfide, which can then be collected and artificially catalyzed, which can further improve the utilization rate of fertile fields, and is also a good choice for collective farms that are being organized and operated

Although there was no chemical fertilizer industry at this time, there was already a similar alternative, that is, the organophosphorus and potassium fertilizer called struvite, which was a unique bird droppings deposit, which was an important fertilizer for the plantations of the various domains of Haizhou, but it was only transported thousands of miles away, and the transportation cost was somewhat high.

In addition, the product of heavy halogen chemical industry left over from seawater salt production can also be used as an added ingredient in chemical fertilizers, but the current output is not high.

It can only be used as a means of topdressing for some newly opened land, and once the field is planted and mature, the basic soil flora and water and fertilizer cycle are formed, then there is no need to continue to add, and it can be maintained by intensive cultivation. After all, the crop yield in this year is generally low, and the normal average of one mu can have three or four stone income, even if it is a great harvest year with good weather and good weather, there is not enough industrial fertilizer, so that the fertility of the land is quickly catalyzed and turned into barren compacted soil.

It's just that at this time, a sudden news interrupted my good mood.

"What, Jiang Ning, do you plan to transfer people from me......

"It was said that it was to assist in the formation and training of the soldiers in the imperial camp army."
