readx;?readx; Chapter 253 was taken aback
Since Qin Xuan's identity has changed to that of a laborer, Qin Lei has to fulfill the obligations of the foreman, such as letting them eat first. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Looking at the four or five hundred old and young masters in ragged clothes and green eyes, Qin Lei groaned in his heart, where is this a long-term worker who carries the work, and is it clearly a poor relative who eats a big family. He instructed Qin Wei: "Go and fetch a cart of grain, and tell the Huotou Army to start." Fortunately, in order to meet reinforcements from all directions, he prepared hundreds of truckloads of grain, but he was not afraid of being eaten poor.
Seeing that Qin Xuanqian wanted to speak and stopped, Qin Lei smiled and said, "Go and call the people on the mountain down." Qin Xuanyan was overjoyed at first, and then bowed to Qin Lei embarrassedly, so he personally took a few of his children to run to Jingshan.
Dozens of cauldrons were erected on the edge of the ruins, and the firewood that had been collected in the morning was still there, and it had been dried by the sun, which saved a lot of trouble. The cart was pulled in from outside the mountain, and the firehead soldiers, under the command of the sergeant major, unloaded the bags of grain from the cart. Some of these noodle bags were japonica rice, some were black noodles, and some were millet or millet, but they were not the standard rations of the Qin Lei Guard. There is no way around it, because although there are many benefits, the cost of standard rations is also very high, and it is impossible to popularize them at this stage.
The fireheads boiled the water, poured some japonica rice and millet into each pot, covered the pot and boiled. Those men were hungry for several days, and they could not eat hard dry food, so they ordered his men to cook porridge for them to eat.
Qin Ba didn't follow his uncle, because Bo Xianyang stopped him. Saiyang pulled Qin Ba's shoulders and said affectionately: "My name is Bo Xian Saiyang, I am very optimistic about you, Qin Ba ......" He felt that something was wrong when he said it, and said depressedly: "This name is too weird, is there any other name." ”
Qin Baweng said: "My father gave me a name, what are you complaining about." Scratching his neck, he said in a muffled voice: "Why don't you call it a bully, listen to the pride!" ”
Bo Xian Saiyang nodded and said, "Indeed, Ba ......" said and glared: "Phew, isn't this still the same?" How to take advantage of me? ”
Qin Ba said aggrievedly: "Then you can call it whatever you want." ”
Bo Xian Saiyang rubbed his chin, pondered for a long time, patted his head and said: "That's called you Xiaoba, it's so decided, don't regret it." Xiaoba nodded sullenly and muttered in a low voice, "Where am I small." But he didn't want to stimulate the poor Saiyang child anymore, so he had to accept this cute name aggrievedly.
Seeing that he should get down, Bo Xianyang was very happy, so he pulled him to his horse, reached out and fumbled in the big pocket on the horse's back, trying to find him something to eat and fulfill his promise. Digging and touching, he saw Qin Ba looking at his famous horse Zhao Ye Jade Lion with an obsessive face, touching its oily and slippery fur, and his two eyes radiated a hungry light......
Bo Xian Saiyang looked at his tall horse with a smug face, and said indifferently: "The horse is thin and hairy, what is there to look at." "Almost everyone who sees the Jade Lion of the Night is this virtue, although Saiyang has seen it countless times, but every time he will feel very cool, from the bottom of his heart.
Unexpectedly, this Qin Ba's way of expressing his love was different from others, I saw him stretch out his big red tongue and lick it on the back of the jade lion's white satin-like horse, which made the little mare grits all over, screaming and twisting the beautiful horse's head, and looking at the stinky hooligan who molested him with fire.
Looking at the shiny traces on the horseback, Bo Xian Saiyang said in surprise: "Xiaoba, what are you going to do?" Retracting his tongue, Qin Ba salivated and said, "Such a sturdy meat, grilled and stewed, is delicious." As he spoke, he reached out and wiped the saliva that had been coming out.
The jade lion in the night is human, and without waiting for the master to speak, he picked up and kicked back and kicked Qin Ba's stomach, and Bo Xian Saiyang wanted to pull it, but it was too late. secretly shouted in his heart: Xiaoba, Xiaoba, as long as it is a mother, it will definitely kick people! couldn't help but close his eyes, he couldn't bear to see the tragic situation of Qin Ba being kicked.
For a long time, he didn't hear Qin Ba's scream, but the jade lion screamed. Bo Xian Saiyang hurriedly opened his eyes, and saw Qin Ba gritting his teeth and holding a horse's leg in one hand, and actually lifted the two hind legs of the jade lion into the air. One move was controlled by the hooligans, and the jade lion naturally refused to be convinced, and while screaming, he frantically slashed forward with his front legs, trying to get rid of the embarrassing situation of this old man's cart.
One person and one horse competed like this, but Bo Xian Saiyang on the side was in a hurry, and said loudly: "Xiaoba, stop it, don't be like Xiaobai, don't break it!" Qin Ba dragged the horse's leg backwards with a red face, and said in a rough voice: "Why don't you let it stop?" Bo Xianyang was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, and circled around one person and one horse, but he couldn't intervene, causing the surrounding guards to laugh.
Qin Lei withdrew his gaze from the noisy field, and smiled at Ma Ai: "Saiyang has found a good partner," Ma Ai smiled awkwardly, and whispered: "It's okay to do this, so that he doesn't always bully others." The two laughed for a while, and seeing that his face was pale, Qin Lei said warmly: "Let you stay there to soak in the hot spring, get rid of the cold in your body, and recuperate your injuries, but you don't listen." There is no danger here, are you afraid that Saiyang will not be able to lose? "Ma Ai was seriously injured in the south, and he was not able to recuperate, but the cold went down the wound into the bones, and every time the weather changed, or the journey was tiring, the pain in his hands and feet would be unbearable.
Ma Ai moved his shoulders and said gratefully: "Thank you for your concern, but not for the young master of my family," he said with a helpless smile: "It's good that he doesn't bully others, but he can't suffer." ”
Qin Lei let out an 'oh' and asked softly, "Then ...... you?"
Ma Ai clamped the crutches under his arm, and said: "If it were in other armies, a lame man like me would definitely be swept out of the house, but the prince not only drove me away, but also promoted me to a lieutenant with a special allowance." If I still have the face to lie in the hot spring and eat rice, I have to find a crack in the ground to get into. ”
Qin Lei shook his head and smiled gently: "That's because they don't understand, as the saying goes, 'there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure', your old horse is a treasure in our team, and it is much more valuable than those hairy boys with sound hands and feet." ”
As if a warm current flowed through his heart, Ma Ai said with a slight excitement: "The prince is kind and gracious, and his subordinates have no other way than to take out this cruel life to repay it." Then he said in a deep voice: "My subordinates are thinking, when I followed my marshal to rebuild the camp in Jiangbei, I learned a lot of lessons, and the prince may be able to use them." ”
Qin Lei nodded and said with a smile: "Then you are the construction consultant of our camp, and I will go through the drawings with Gu Shen later to see if there is anything wrong." Ma Ai Gong took the order.
As the two spoke, they walked past the dozens of cauldrons, and at this time, the rice porridge in the pot had begun to exude aroma, and more than a dozen fireheads were lifting the lid of the pot and pouring pots of shredded cabbage and shredded mushrooms into the pot. When the sergeant saw the prince coming, he hurriedly put down the work at hand, trotted to Qin Lei, and said uprightly: "Please give the prince instructions." ”
Qin Lei smiled at him and said, "Take a break, old Xu Tou, when can you start eating, I see that some people are hungry and want to eat raw horses." Lao Xu was busy in the dark, but he didn't know the allusion, and said with a smile: "It's almost there, there will be a quarter of an hour at most." "Old Xu's name is Xu Laoshi, he is more than forty years old, and his appearance is not good. As his name suggests, his greatest characteristic is loyalty and honesty, which was well-known among the prince's guards at that time. Because of this, Qin Lei made him this official, although it was not big, but he was in charge of two thousand people to eat, and he was the secretary of the department with a lot of oil and water, which disappointed many sergeants who wanted to drill the camp.
This person did not disappoint Qin Lei, since he took office for a year, he lived within his means, his accounts were clear, and every food expense was spent on the real thing, not only did not overspend, but also adjusted the food of the soldiers very well, which was well received by the officers and soldiers, so that those who suspected that he was honest and useless shut up.
The person he chose did a good job, Qin Lei naturally had a light on his face, and said with a smile: "Good job, if there is any difficulty, just say it, come and find a way for you." This was a polite remark, but I didn't think that Lao Xu Tou was really in difficulty, so he glanced at Qin Lei carefully and said, "Then I'll say it." Seeing him nodding, he whispered: "Lord Wang, originally our gang configuration was just right, but when the teams from all directions arrived, according to what you said, 'unified management and unified supply', plus the two or three thousand people on the mountain, the brothers will not be able to supply even if they are spinning." ”
Qin Lei stretched out his finger and pointed to the Jingshan Mountain not far away, and said with a smile: "See if the helper Gu has found for you is enough?" Xu Laoshi looked in the direction that Qin Lei pointed out, and saw thousands of people coming down from the mountain along the sheep intestine path. Even after a distance, you can see that most of them are old and weak, women and children.
"The prince said to let these old men and women help?" Old Xu Tou was overjoyed.
Qin Lei nodded, patted him on the shoulder, and ordered: "From the next meal, let those people help with the cooking, you can do a good job of supervision." "Although he is generous, his subordinates are not able to eat for nothing." But for now, you should be tired and invite them to eat, pay attention to keep a distance, and don't squeeze. Old Xu Tou hurriedly responded.
A total of more than 2,200 Qin clan relatives came down from the mountain, plus more than 500 Qin Ba of them, occupying the open space by the river. It's just that although they were all ragged and hungry, no one couldn't wait to shout and rob, they all stood there quietly and waited, and even lined up in a line according to a certain law, which seemed to be very well-behaved, which surprised Qin Lei, who was watching from the sidelines.
Xu Laoshi knew that it was impossible to rob, and his heart was more steady, so he ordered his subordinates to stand by the cauldron with a big spoon, walked to the front of the team, and arched his hand to the leader Qin Xuanyan: "Master Qin, it's time to eat." However, we only have a total of thirty cauldrons, so we are a little crowded, and there are only these dozens of reels and two thousand bowls, but they are not enough, and we bother you to maintain order, don't burn people. ”
Although Qin Xuanyan is Qin Lei's cousin by seniority, the phoenix that has lost his hair is not as good as a chicken, so he didn't dare to slack off, and said politely: "There is Lao, the military master." "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Xu Laoshi didn't dare to hold it up, and smiled politely.
Qin Xuanyan turned around and ordered loudly, "Each armor grows out." More than thirty men, including Qin Ba, walked out of the team. Qin Xuanqian ordered the three of them, including Qin Ba, and said in a deep voice: "The three of you stay, and the rest of you go to the side of the pot." These armor commanders carried out his orders without hesitation, and except for Qin Ba and the others, the rest found a pot.
Qin Xuanyan instructed the three of Qin Ba again: "You take your own villagers, and each scoop out a thread in each of the ten pots. Qin Ba and the others took nine people each according to their orders, and they went to the side of the pot with the reins, and the men who were in charge of the spoons filled them with the reels the size of winter melons. When they came to the side, Qin Xuanqian asked the leaders to beckon their villagers to gather around the pot to eat. It was all carried out in an orderly and even silent manner. Qin Lei said in his heart, how long will it take for a group of civilian-trained soldiers to be disciplined, and he can't help but look at these poor relatives with admiration.
When he turned his gaze into the field again, the villagers had already divided into thirty-three piles, sitting around the pot in circles, each pile was about eighty people. The captains each took more than sixty large bowls, carried them to their own plates, and divided them according to each household. These more than 80 people are more than a dozen households, and each family can get three or four bowls.
Qin Lei was taken aback again, secretly bowed his head, and said in his heart: At this point, it is an internal matter of each family, so naturally there will be no more contradictions. Although this method is simple, it contains a great truth, which divides the contradictions belonging to the large collective into the contradictions within each family through a relatively fair method. And each family has its own rules, or respect for the old and love the young, or take care of labor, this is something they are accustomed to, of course, there will be no more contradictions.
Big becomes small, small becomes nothing. Although it was a small matter, it benefited Qin Lei a lot, and his evaluation of these people naturally improved a lot. Thinking of this, he asked Qin Wei to call Qin Xuan, who hadn't eaten yet.
Hearing that the prince was looking for him, Qin Xuanling, who had just picked up his rice bowl and sat down, quickly got up again, and quickly followed Qin Wei to the river, and saw the young prince sitting on a big bluestone.
Qin Xuanqian went over and saluted respectfully, Qin Lei smiled and asked him to sit on the wooden pier opposite, at this time, Shi Yong came over with a steaming large porcelain bowl and handed it to Qin Xuanyan, and said with a smile: "Our prince knows that Qin Ye is too busy to eat, so he asked me to make you a bowl of pasty snacks and snacks, you can use it slowly." Qin Xuanqian hurriedly followed with both hands, and did not forget to thank him in his mouth.
Seeing him holding the bowl stiffly, Qin Lei smiled and said, "You eat first and then talk, it's uncomfortable to be hungry." Qin Xuanyan listened, and didn't care whether it was hot or not, he raised his head and drank the bowl, and drank the bowl of paste with a snort, almost in the blink of an eye, the big white bowl was at the bottom.
Qin Lei smiled and asked, "How does it taste?" Qin Xuanyan said embarrassedly: "I drank too much and didn't taste it, but now it is very fragrant in my mouth, it should be delicious." ”
Qin Lei didn't want to discuss the issue of food with him, but he just started talking, looked back at the people who had already begun to bury their heads in eating, and smiled: "Lone is very curious, what if the top three people don't have enough to eat?" ”
Qin Xuanqian wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "It is definitely not enough for eight people to eat, but everyone can at least share a bowl to eat, so as not to watch others eat on an empty stomach." And those who are around the pot, after dividing a circle of rice, should have a count of what is left in the pot, and the remaining two households in each pot are enough. He said with some regret: "I can only be fair, but I can only do it like this." ”
Qin Lei was shocked again, he originally thought that this was just some good habits that these people had developed in their long-term common life, at best, they were roughly divided into groups for ease of management. But listening to Qin Xuanyan's statement, this kind of organization, coordination, and pursuit of precision seems to have penetrated into everyone's bones, and they are still constantly seeking the possibility of amplifying it.
Reminiscent of the labyrinthine tunnels below the village, almost every family is connected. This is not the level that ordinary execution can achieve.
If this is the case, these people are the best candidates who are in line with their carefully planned and precisely executed thinking about army building.
He felt his heart shrink one by one, and forced himself to calm down: "Is this what you came up with when you came?" ”
Qin Xuanyan stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, and then muttered: "What did the prince say...... We didn't think about anything, we just felt like it was from our bones, as if we were born to do this. ”
Qin Lei finally couldn't help but ask excitedly: "A hundred years ago, what was the famous Zongzheng Mansion soldiers of our Qin family for?" ”
"Orders and prohibitions, tacit cooperation, forgetting life and death, and belligerence as life!" Qin Xuanqian said without hesitation: "Its speed is like the wind, its Xu is like a forest, its invasion is like fire, it is not moving like a mountain, it is difficult to know like yin, and it is like thunder." Dominate the world, who competes! ”
