Chapter Thirty-Four: There Are No Idlers in the Force
In order to be able to quickly build several new military fortresses, two major projects within the national forces, directly stop the construction of one, this is also a helpless thing, everyone knows that when the Yi forces perceive the intentions of the national forces, it will be an extremely terrifying revenge.
The most direct is to raise troops to attack, if the military fortress is built, the national forces are naturally not afraid, and the forces of Wang Lin and Bao Yan are combined to fight against the Yi forces, although they are still in a weak position, but the Yi forces want to easily destroy that one, it can't be done.
Therefore, the major road construction project from Shuanglong Town to Lujia Town was forced to stop work after only two days of construction, and the villagers hired from Lujia Town or ambushed for 10 days this year were all sent to Luoba and Huang Yi to set up new military fortresses, participate in the construction of fortifications, build barracks, and strive to complete it in half a month.
Since the national forces have been restructured from the eighteen villages, large and small projects have been continuous, not to mention the construction of various villages and workshops, among which the road from Shuanglong Town to Liudu Mine is from Menglu and Ji Fang to build Liudu New Village, and the construction has begun when mining iron ore.
However, this road is too long, there was no mountain road before, it was completely wild, it took almost three months to build, and the labor force invested was as many as 3,000 people, if it was according to the working hours, there were tens of thousands, but now still half of it has not been repaired, and each time the transportation of materials can only rely on horses.
The villagers have long been used up for ten days of labor per person this year, and only the Lu Ge forces that have just been subdued are still some, so most of the villagers who are building roads now are the Ministry of Finance spending money to hire idle laborers, and the benefits of road construction and widening have been realized by the high-level forces.
In the past, it took a dozen horses to deliver supplies from Ssangyong to the Tiger Mountain Army, but now it can be easily done with only five or six ox carts, and the time is still short.
With such results, the high-level forces will spare no effort to build roads, but the labor force is these, and not everyone has time, those who have just been allocated acres of land are busy ploughing, and some are directly assigned to the mountains and forests, and are busy clearing wasteland.
These things are not trivial, this is related to the grain harvest of the forces next year, even if the villagers are willing to build roads and get money, the government will not hire them, only let the ambush this year's conscription, the village officials of each village urge to plough the fields, open up the barren forest, only the villagers who have done these things will let them join the army of road construction.
And all this directly led to Luo Yi's plan to spend money to hire villagers to help build a new military camp, and the stillborn, mighty and domineering Tiger Roaring Army directly became a wasteland army.
Feelings This is the fine tradition of the Tiger Roaring Army, all recruits have to do this work of digging earth and building houses, if this can form a tradition, Luo Yi also feels that there is nothing wrong, this can be regarded as a dismount for recruits.
What's wrong is that this time not only is the military camp built, but Hongye Mountain is still a government-run agricultural factory planned by Luo Yi, so the mountain ring road, mountain peak sentry and so on have to be built.
In this way, if you want to rely on the newly recruited more than 500 recruits to complete it, it will take at least half a year, which is recruitment! It's just pulling coolies.
"There are no idlers in the power, and I sigh for the lack of labor!"
Seeing Luo Yi sighing that no one was available, Huang Ling said angrily: "Sigh with emotion, knowing that the force is now scarce in labor, all the projects that can be stopped are stopped, and those that can't be stopped are related to the lifeblood of the forces, and I still want to repair the mountain road in one go, it's just a fool's dream." ”
"Hey, hey! When you are full, you can just sigh with emotion. ”
"Now that not a single prisoner has been delivered, who are you going to let to reclaim the fields, open up the mountains and guard what, guard the squirrels in the mountains and forests, and prevent it from escaping?"
"Oops! Don't get angry! Isn't it just that they only give food, not military salaries? It's not like I haven't experienced it before, and besides, our Tiger Roaring Army lacks that money? ”
The reason why Huang Ling, who is usually not on fire, is so popular has to start with the "Lujiazhen Meeting" not long ago, which was mainly to discuss how to deal with all the next mutations and the establishment of the army.
What made Huang Ling angry was the issue of army formation, and it was still the same as before, the officials of various ministries felt that the Tiger Roaring Army, although it played a big role in the forces, was still a group of children after all, and it was the Long Yin Army who really went to the battlefield to fight.
Therefore, newly recruited soldiers, unless their training reaches the level of the four platoons of the Tiger Roaring Army in the past, they can be scouts, or like the current medical platoon, they can treat wounded soldiers before they can be officially incorporated into the Tiger Roaring Army and register for military cards.
Although Luo Yi was angry in his heart, he could only comfort his subordinates at this time, and he clearly knew that no matter what era he was, he had the confidence to speak with absolute power in his hands, and besides, the various ministries were also saving unnecessary money for the forces.
The reason why Huang Ling is so angry is mainly because almost all the money-making businesses that are now in the power are from Luo Yi's hands, and Luo Yi will transfer every business to the Ministry of Commerce after he does a good job.
Although a small share is also charged, but now that he has to spend his own money to train recruits for the forces, Huang Ling felt a little unjust in his heart, looking at Luo Yi with a flattering smile on his face, he wanted to complain, but he couldn't say it anymore.
At the beginning, my father said that Luo Yi would not be like Fan Wenzhenggong, he couldn't do it, he would worry about the world first, and then the world would be happy! "Father, you are wrong!"
Of course Luo Yi didn't know, Huang Ling pushed himself to the height of a saint, and thought that he was still angry for a few old men in various departments and not paying military salaries, and said with a smile: "The way to make money, I recognize the second in Vimo, no one dares to recognize the first, a little military salary, go out for a walk, nest in the house, and your body is about to decay." ”
"These old guys, when I am promoted to the rank of major or above, they will definitely want them to look good, and dare to look down on my Tiger Roaring Army."
"Hey, hey! Your second brother seems to be involved, and he is one of the most opposed in it, oh! ”
"So what, who put me in the Tiger Roaring Army?"
Knowing that Huang Ling was relieved, Luo Yi raised two big female fingers and laughed: "Congratulations!" Second Lieutenant Huang will be promoted as soon as possible! ”
There are many people and great strength, and the barren forest in the past has gradually become a bit of a military camp, and three or four brick barracks have been built, and the rest are still temporary grass sheds, and the foundation of the barracks has long been dug up, but the brick and tile firing cannot keep up.
The main thing is to invite too few bricklayers, the recruits are not standardized in the operation process, seven brick kilns burned two kilns, the firing time of bricks and tiles is long, a tile from the mud, on the template, into the kiln firing, out of the kiln molding at least eight days.
This is also the reason why only three or four brick barracks have been built in the first ten days from the beginning of construction, but although the barracks cannot be built in time, no soldiers are idle.
Again, we made mud tiles and bricks, built training grounds, and excavated more brick kilns, tile kilns, carbon kilns, and lime kilns.
The army has always been a man's world, especially in ancient times, although there have been several female heroes recorded in history, but it is because it is too rare, so it will be so famous.
However, the Tiger Roaring Army accidentally recruited a few women this time, they all have rough skin, fourteen or fifteen years old, but they look like aunts in their thirties, and the most powerful thing is that pair of iron sand feet, stepping on shelled chestnuts without shoes, and Luo Yi is similar to smashing them with stones.
At first, I thought it was the wrong gender of the military department, and it was all dark and unrecognizable, but later I learned that these women were the wives of several savage recruits.
Now Luo Yi is even more puzzled, damn it, can he bring his wife to the barracks! What are you guys doing at night, and you don't let the others sleep.
However, Huang Ling gave a strange answer, it turned out that these savages, because of the harsh environment, low fertility, and their lifespans were too short, the savage patriarch repeatedly begged the officials of the military department to let these women follow, and then let them return when they were pregnant.
So the Ministry of War directly took this as a matter and threw it to the Tiger Roaring Army, thinking about Yelang's father, thirty years old is like sixty years old, and seeing the fighting ability of these women, Luo Yi has a new idea, it is not bad to form a women's army.
It is true that this is a military camp, but this is also a farm, what can you do if you build a women's military fortress on the edge of the camp alone, as for the short life span of these savages, Luo Yi knows that this is the result of too much pressure on vitality.
If you want to prolong their lifespan, it shouldn't be difficult, let them adapt to the life of normal people, change their habits, regulate their body damage, and let them live to eighty, Luo Yi can't guarantee that they should still be able to live to fifty or sixty.
As for wanting to have children, it's simpler, and when the body is well conditioned, the survival rate of that thing will definitely be higher, and there is no need to try your luck with the number of times like now.
It's true that doing that in the barracks doesn't have a good impact, but it's not a difficult task, and it's a big deal to build a few more houses.
"These women, do you really want to stay in the barracks?"
"It's all here, stay! Don't you see that their archery skills are better than Lu Kui and them, I want to build a women's army? ”
"What?"
Looking at Huang Ling's incredible face, Luo Yi smiled: "Don't you underestimate women, the role of women on the battlefield is not weaker than that of men." ”
"It's not in line with etiquette, and I haven't heard of that force or country setting up a women's army."
"The ritual system is scrapped, and besides, this is a national force, not the Great Song Dynasty, how much does that set of etiquette exist here.
When the eighteen villages were reformed, it was said that everyone was equal and free, do you think that women now have the right to get them? In order to let the little girl go to the village to study, how much effort did I make, you are not ignorant, dangerous, and lure are used, if it weren't for my father is Luo Xiong, it is estimated that those rotten Confucians may not agree. ”
Hearing this, Huang Ling said disdainfully: "Who told you to have less power to dominate, you have to do something to make a master, and let yourself be bound by your rights." ”
"Then do you like the current system, or the previous Eighteen Villages, or the Great Song Dynasty system proposed by your father."
"Of course, now, the Dali system is too brutal, the Great Song Dynasty is too stupid, or the more enlightened forces of our nation."
"Then accompany me to carry it out to the end, now that the power is weak, the situation needs it, and with the support of my father and Uncle Huang, it is not difficult to implement, but it will be indispensable to mutate in the future, which is also the reason why I recruit a large number of weak crown teenagers."
"But the matter of female soldiers, even if you can handle it well, the ministries may not agree, and they will not give you food to squander."
"It's too early to discuss this matter, when the camp is built, I will have a way, now, you still have to help me think about how to increase the progress, I will go and see how Mengyu progresses."
