When buying grain from the people, it is not the ocean or fiat currency, but the food stamps.

This is the military food stamp system that Lu Yuan borrowed from the liberated area of the Eighth Route Army, which is equivalent to an IOU issued by the regiment to the people.

These IOUs are not of the nature of circulation to the outside world, and can only be used in the county, such as exchanging some items with shops in the county, or exchanging food back to the regiment when there is a shortage of food at home in the future.

In fact, such an IOU has a great hidden danger and may become a useless white slip at any time.

But the citizens of Muma County didn't mind this at all, and after keeping the rations that were almost enough to make ends meet, they handed over most of the grain harvested at home to the county without reservation.

These, on the one hand, are out of trust in the independent regiment of the Sichuan Army and Lu Yuan, and on the other hand, they are even more grateful.

In just a few months, the regiment turned the desolate Trojan County into a land of fish and rice full of fertile fields, and the regiment did not charge a penny for planting these fields, nor did it collect rent and taxes.

In addition, almost every household in the county now has people working in coal mines, iron mines, iron and steel plants, and cement factories, and their wages are paid every month, and every household has a small amount of savings and can afford to buy grain by themselves.

Not to mention, in the past year, the instructors in the regiment and the members of the propaganda team have been vigorously carrying out propaganda and ideological transformation to the people, so that they can understand the truth of their family and country, which has made them from ordinary people to citizens who are willing to bravely sacrifice their lives to fight against the Japanese invaders at any time.

Everyone in the county knows the situation that Trojan County is facing.

They knew that if there was no independent regiment of the Sichuan Army, they might have to face the oppression of the devils again and live that kind of miserable life.

Under such circumstances, how could they not understand that now they must share the weal and woe with the regiment, instead of thinking only about themselves everywhere.

"Regiment leader, there is still a way to deal with the common people......

Seeing that these people took the initiative to offer food and from the country. Mao Ying, Xu Yun and others, who came from the army, were deeply touched.

In their opinion, in fact, the military food stamp system, and the country. The difference between the rigid apportionment of the military is not too big, but it is just another way of saying that the meat bun beats the dog, or the meat bun beats the dog.

On the one hand, the Eighth Route Army, and even the Sichuan Army Independent Regiment that followed their example, the common people took the initiative to donate food to support them to fight devils. On the military side, the common people are simply eager to bury themselves and their food in the soil, so that the other party will not find anything.

"It can't be said that the difference is actually many!"

Lu Yuan said with emotion: "The Eight Roads and we have really achieved the degree of exchanging sincerity for sincerity for the people, people's hearts are flesh and blood, you and them are good, they can see it, I don't mean the country. The military completely disregards the lives and deaths of the people, but what they have done is far from enough! ”

Mao Ying stopped talking, he knew that what Lu Yuan said made sense, in fact, many countries. The soldiers of the army really feel sorry for those ordinary people, but sometimes, they can't do more at all.

"Pimple, have you finished harvesting the two test fields?"

Seeing the cow pimple, Lu Yuan asked with a smile: "Is it the high yield of good farming, or is your yield high?" ”

At the beginning, I bet that whoever loses will run around the city with a bare butt.

Now that it's time to harvest, the bull pimple king hemp pole Xu Yun and others are very positive, but Lu Yuan is not even in the mood to take a look, on the one hand, because he knows for sure that the selected good varieties must have a higher yield under normal circumstances than those planted indiscriminately, and on the other hand, Yang Zongman and Cai Kaile, who had bet together at the beginning, had already died in battle, and he didn't want to touch the scene.

"It's all about the same - don't believe yourself!"

Niu Pimple blushed and said, Wang Ma Pole Xu Yun on the side of the angry side glared at him vigorously, and said in his heart that this stupid person would not even tell a lie.

"Forget it, I'm not interested in you running around the city with your bare butts!"

Lu Yuan said with a smile: "Tell Village Chief Zhang that the seeds in the spring must be carefully selected, we treat the field well, and the field will repay us with a rich yield, no one should be perfunctory, you know?" ”

"I know, I know, Village Chief Zhang has already explained!" The cow pimple laughed dryly.

After the season of rushing to plant and harvest, the people who should work in the mines and factories went back to work, and most of the buildings in the county have been completed, but they have not completely stopped.

Luo Youcai took the engineer battalion to leave early and return late, and dug countless hidden forts around the county and along the roads that could reach Muma County from all over the place, and then reinforced them with reinforced concrete.

The reinforced battalions that had been emptied also transferred some elites from the second and third battalions to supplement the formation and strengthen training, and each battalion also added some new recruits.

In addition to the training subjects such as shooting, white blades, fixed-point bomb throwing, and rapid marching with heavy loads, other subjects were added to the training, such as the forcible penetration and infiltration of small units, armed raids, and so on, so as to truly simulate the actual combat form.

However, as the weather became cooler after the farm work, the women and children were really free, so the regiment purchased a large amount of cloth, and the women began to sew clothes, shoes, and so on for the soldiers and their families in small brick houses built in and out of the city.

Every time Lu Yuan returned to the room, he could see Long Yunlin Shiwen sitting at the head of the bed, gossiping while taking soles and insoles.

Dancing knives and swords, Long Yun is very good at playing with these needles and threads, but she has suffered enough, and her fingers are wrapped in gauze for three days, not to mention, she wants to embroider a pair of mandarin ducks on the insole, but the finished product Lu Yuan recognized it for a long time and still felt like a toad, and then was kicked under the bed by the angry Long Yun.

In fact, these days, although Lu Yuan would return to the county every night to arrange some work, in addition to accompanying Long Yunlin Shiwen, he set off to the steel factory with Niu Lump and a few guards at dawn, and only came back in the evening.

The construction of the arsenal has begun, a semi-enclosed underground facility, all kinds of equipment have been transported in, and a large number of technicians from the Eighth Route Army have been stationed here.

Lu Yuan is now responsible for training these technicians in firearms theory and discussing the construction of drawings.

At the same time, he will often go to the steel mill to have some exchanges with Pan Haodi, some of the components can be cast by casting, for the more precise gun springs, to provide some of his own ideas, and strive to make a sample gun first, for the future mass production experience.
