Chapter 758: Queue up
Everyone staggered, everyone wanted to lie down immediately, but they had no way to sleep immediately, they had to soak their feet in hot water every night before going to bed, which was the rule of the army before, and then people consciously accepted this practice, because after soaking their feet, they felt more relaxed and easier to fall asleep, and at the same time they could prevent injuries such as blisters.

In addition, everyone has not yet eaten dinner, and everyone is walking with a thunderous roar in their abdomen, almost all of them are the same.
Li Shanxin, a fierce-faced man, said: "Suffering from the plague, Lao Tzu feels that he can eat a cow." ”
Zhao Wen smiled: "I have eaten in a pot, I really believe what you say." ”
Li Shanxin slapped Zhao Wen on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Dare to make fun of Lao Tzu." ”
Zhao Wen unceremoniously returned the blow, and Li Shanxin, who was also hit, snorted.
Tang Shangde said with a smile: "Zhao Wen has really grown up, when he first came, he was full of Sven, and he didn't dare to speak up when he was bullied, and he didn't have enough strength to kill chickens, but now look at it, like a strong man." ”
"It's not even close." Li Shanxin looked at the old man, in fact, he was only twenty-five or sixteen years old, and his eyes lit up and said, "Have you seen the scene of the training of the merchant army?" That's what the man did, and when I expire, I don't need to be assessed to be able to turn into a soldier directly, and when I capture Qingcheng, I will find a family member, and I will go directly to sign up for a soldier. ”
"Well, the treatment of the soldiers is not bad." Tang Shangde is nearly forty years old, of course, much older than these two posterity, and he is very serious about Li Shanxin's calculations: "One two or eight a month's salary, food and clothing are all issued in the army, almost all the silver can be saved, and when you work for three years, you can save at least sixty taels, Shanxin used to be in the Bansheng land of the house is three grass houses, I heard that it was burned, burn it, sixty taels is enough to build a very decent yard, and enough money to buy a few sheep, and then buy a half-sized cattle, and then lease fifty or sixty acres of land to plant, and Yusheng's tenant farmers earn at least ten taels a year, If you have a cow, you don't get too tired...... Marry another daughter-in-law, and the beauty of life is also the right ancestor. ”
Li Shanxin's eyes lit up by Tang Shangde's words, and for him, Zhao Wen, Tang Shangde and others, there was no psychological burden on Tou Xiao and Yusheng, on the contrary, they saw a huge opportunity from He Yusheng's treatment of tenant farmers, workers and the army, to improve their lives and get rid of poverty.
Before that, they farmed in the Bansheng field, and the vegetables they planted were almost provided to the Beiyu for free, and the Beiyu gave them the lowest living security on the subsistence line, unless it was those shrewd Han merchants who could make money from the Beiyu, and there were even more people like the Zhao family who sold themselves and became big Han merchants, but tens of thousands of Han people, how many successful Han merchants could there be?
Here in Beiyu, the biggest advantage is that plunder and discrimination are obvious, and good things will not be changed at will, and there are no layers of bullying and oppression, but never think of this place as a happy land.
In addition to the inland farmers recruited as tenant farmers, there are also a large number of Han people on the grassland, most of whom are employed as tenant farmers, whether it is to grow cotton or millet, sorghum, beans and other crops, or simply to grow vegetables, anyway, the land cannot be idle.
Li Shanxin and others also have a strong confidence in the high yield of farmland, and the sheer size of the water diversion project makes them particularly surprised, even to the point of fear.
The reason why these people completely gave up the protection of the Mongols and changed from the outside to the inside to support and promote Yusheng is that it can be said that the things shown by farmland reclamation and water conservancy projects directly convinced them.
Being a tenant farmer with Yusheng, the income obtained is definitely ten times higher than growing vegetables in Bansheng, and there is no bullying and oppression, this is the paradise that the people once fantasized about, and even many people feel that even the former White Lotus Sect has the same feeling, the so-called Buddha country on earth, but so.
What made Li Shanxin willing to surrender was that the Lancer Regiment killed a lot of people when they entered the Raiders, fortunately Li Shanxin had no family to be forced, if there was a blood debt, it is difficult to say what he thinks now.
He Yusheng's military and political officers have been trying to dispel the original hatred, but this kind of thing is not urgent, and it will take time to dilute the hatred, and it may be that when the survivors are freed from labor and face the embarrassing situation of the complete defeat of the Mongols and the inability to return to the interior, all problems will be solved at that time.
"Haven't eaten yet?"
The people were hungry and waited in front of the canteen in the camp, and each of them untied the tin pot from his waist, which was an oval vessel similar to a cup, with a fork and a spoon, which was just as convenient for eating and drinking, and it was also convenient to hang it on the belt even if the people did not have the kind of cowhide belt with hooks, and they could put this thing in their own bed, and everyone had a copy of it, and they did not have to worry about being stolen.
These household utensils are produced in the iron yard of Lingqiu, whether it is military or civilian have proved that its design is reasonable, very useful, now the mule and horse coachman, the dart master, and those small and medium-sized businessmen who often go out, etc., there are people everywhere who use this iron can, the market is very wide, and the output is also very high.
In addition to jars, iron forks and spoons are very easy to use, easy to clean, and do not need to be carefully protected and used like porcelain and pottery.
In addition, there are many iron utensils, iron basins, iron cups, soup spoons, chopsticks, shovels that people are used to, and there are dozens of iron daily necessities of this kind, and the sales are very considerable.
Iron tools can occupy such a large share in the north and sell so much, and the iron ore department of Lingqiu is also indispensable.
Now the people are impatiently holding the tin cans, and the impatient people have already held the forks and spoons in their hands, and the people are gradually losing patience and feeling impatient.
It is no wonder that they have been working hard from morning to now, even risking their lives, this kind of thing is extremely physically exhausting, and at noon people can only eat lunch in a hurry with water and wheat cakes, and now they are really hungry and tired.
Across a wall is the place where the cooks and soldiers cook, there are more than a dozen teams of cooks and assistants, there are many such cooking points, and the food of 80,000 people is also a big project, and in the morning people see a team of soldiers and horses driving hundreds of sheep to the camp, of course these sheep are to be slaughtered and eaten, even if this is only enough to eat for one day, tomorrow there should be more sheep to be driven in.
"Here, everyone's hard work."
When the captain of the baggage came out with the soldiers, the entire ranks of the people were in a sensation.
Everyone stared, Zhao Wen felt as if there was a knife twisting in his stomach, his eyes were also black, and when he smelled the rich aroma of meat, his saliva couldn't help but flow out of his mouth.
Zhao Wen had never felt that he was so hungry, and he felt a little ashamed, but when he looked at the partners around him, he found that everyone was just like himself, and Li Shanxin was still swallowing his saliva.
If he would have despised the group of mud-legged people around him before, his class was far above these people, but now at this time he has regarded these people as partners, although these guys are dirty and smelly, but he himself is also dirty and smelly, he is not nobler than anyone else, and he used to feel that superior knowledge is nothing...... He Yusheng's soldiers dragged out casually and knew Qian'er 800 words, and those officers knew a lot even if they were junior officers, and Zhao Wen already felt that his knowledge was not enough.
"Listen, everybody." The captain of the baggage stood on a high place and shouted: "Tonight's rice is a soup made of pork balls and cabbage, each with four large meat buns, which is filled with mutton and green onions, which is specially ordered by Lord Zhang. ”
Zhao Wen knew that He Yusheng's meat buns, two, three, two, two, two In the past, this was the welfare of the soldiers, and the soldiers only ate once every few days, and the people did not usually have this treatment, and they would only eat a meal during the festival, and their meat was mainly the broth boiled with minced meat with wheat cakes, and sometimes it was also multigrain cakes.
He Yusheng's food management is enough, but there are still restrictions on the captured people, including restrictions on personal freedom, and different treatments, which still make Zhao Wen and others understand that they have to pay the price for their original choice.
Hearing that there were mutton buns to eat, people forgot the impatience and unhappiness when waiting, Li Shanxin took the lead in clapping, everyone followed suit, and Zhao Wen also slapped hard, slapping his palms red.
Everyone doesn't want to be supervised, and consciously line up.
This thing is the same as slapping, at first people don't understand why they do it, but later they realize that it's the same as clapping to vent their emotions, queuing up is more efficient than you hugging me and grabbing me. It may not be good for an unlucky guy at the bottom of the line, but just because you're at the bottom of the list doesn't mean you won't be able to grab a top spot next time.
If you don't line up, it's who has the most strength and who dares to fight and who is in front, which can easily become a sample from Lin society. People like Zhao Wen, if they are not protected by rules and order at the beginning, they can easily be eliminated by the laws of nature.
When Zhao Wen lined up, he not only felt no discomfort, but a very reassuring feeling.
Zhao Wen and others lined up to make the broth, and received the buns in their portions, they put the buns on the lid of the tin can, served the soup in their left hand, held the buns in their right hand, most of them squatted on the ground, everyone ate quickly, Zhao Wen was still not used to holding it, there was a small mazha made by himself in his tent, he sat on the matza to eat, Li Shanxin and Tang Shangde and others squatted beside him to eat together.
Everyone ate very fragrantly, even Zhao Wen ate very quickly, when half a jar of broth and two buns were eaten, the feeling of starving to death was suppressed, people began to taste the umami of buns, and some people commented on the difference between mutton and pork.
