Wei Junfeng and Ren Shangwu came out, and seeing the dust in front of him, he said hatefully: "Yan Song, who is in his mother's house, I heard Han Jiang say this, we really raised our heads to make trouble with him." ”

Ren Shangwu was also dissatisfied: "We came out to be rewarded for meritorious service, and what kind of trouble is there with Lord Han." ”

The two were talking, but they saw Yan Song carrying a kettle and holding a bowl, and he didn't know where to boil the water, and he trotted into the room, and there was a sound of talking from inside, but it was this guy who sent tea to Han Xu to drink.

"This dog." Ren Shangwu scolded, and everyone quickly picked up a broom and cleaned up in the courtyard.

……

In the blink of an eye, a few days have passed, dozens of people eat and live together in this small bunker, everyone only thinks that cleaning one day is over, who expected that the next few days are all doing cleaning things, the Ming army's residence has never been exquisite, the soldiers go to wander when they are idle, which general will not care about such a thing, camping is also about defense, preparing for enemy raids or night attacks, those who can do this are already good generals, even Qi Jiguang, who can say two sentences in every detail, has not been mentioned in terms of hygiene. Han Xu asked that all parts of the dungeon should be washed with water, and the garbage was not allowed to be thrown out at will, but that everyone should dig a big pit together, and after throwing the garbage, they would fill a layer of landfill, which would make the people extremely annoying, and the toilet was also a big pit dug for general disposal...... No one thought that this general would even have to take care of this matter, and everyone couldn't cry or laugh.

In addition to cleaning, it is to ask everyone to engage in queue training, standing upright for at least one hour every day, and then turning back and forth, left and right, tossing back and forth.

Every day in the evening, these iron-clad men are also tired and weak, and practicing these things feels more tiring than fighting a battle.

Han Xu watched every day, and at this time, he was not polite to everyone, and reprimanded loudly from time to time, picking two of the best training results every day, and whoever didn't do well would knock them with a stick, and everyone who beat them cried wolf.

Of course, the beating is very proud, but on the second day, there will usually be a replacement, and those who were beaten on the first day will fight back, and the attack will not be light, and it is still a scream.

Every day, someone complains to Han Xu, Han Xu's attitude is very tough this time, even if everyone is on the opposite side, even He Qingyun can't help complaining, he is already a hundred household officials, he also needs to stand in the team, and he has to be beaten, so naturally he can't help but mutter, but Han Xu doesn't give any affection, and no one is an exception.

In fact, Han Xu only has a superficial knowledge of military training, when he was an athlete, he had to engage in military training every year, he was very dismissive at the time, and he didn't realize it with his heart, now in retrospect, this kind of queue training is actually useless in terms of physical fitness and the ability to fight, but it is used to cultivate the spirit of the group and serve the public, these things began to appear when the revival of classical militarism in Europe, after years of retaining the essence, although Han Xu does not know much, it is enough to temper the unruly Ming Dynasty pawn in front of him.

Changes will occur bit by bit, Han Xu didn't expect short-term training to change the group of people in front of him from his bones, but before taking these guys into battle, he hoped to have the most basic trust, which would enable him to hand over his back to these guys, as a foundationless traverser, he could only start slowly from these small things.

……

"This is the Song shopkeeper of Liaoyang and Shunchang Cloth Company, this is the iron luggage shopkeeper, this is our Han General."

On August 11th, the weather gradually cooled, Han Xu ordered Gao Xiaosan to contact the cloth shopkeeper in the city, buy a large number of fabrics, in addition to sewing winter clothes, bedding also needs to be purchased, the difference in treatment of the Ming army has reached a miserable point, most of the Ming army bedding and robes in Fengji Fort are tattered, and the warmth is extremely poor, Xiong Tingbi's banquet of the Ming army has passed, and a lot of military weapons have been built, but the military uniforms and bedding have not been sent down for a long time, and the people of the Jingluo Mansion and the household department will not pay too much attention to these things, It is not surprising that a soldier's jacket has not been changed for ten years, and the Ming army is almost a collection of beggars and criminals except for a few elites, such an army has no sense of belonging and collective honor, and there is no psychological burden to betray friendly soldiers or even comrades and superiors around them.

The shopkeeper Song was a short and fat old man in his fifties, and after a few words of greeting, he said unhurriedly: "Coarse cotton is five cents a catty, white cotton is one catty and five cents and eight cents, cotton money is one catty and two cents, and white cotton is one catty and five cents...... Zhuji is five dollars for a horse, four dollars for a wide white cloth, six dollars for a horse of three shuttle cloth, six dollars and five cents for a horse of wide white three shuttle cloth, and five cents for a pound of wool, and the cotton jacket and military uniform for fifty people needed by adults need to be dyed red, and the cost has to be added, and the total price of silver needs to be sixty-five taels of silver. ”

Recently, money is like running water, Han Xu's silver is not much left, and he needs to eat and drink meat for daily training, otherwise everyone can't stand it after training, and even if the price of food is rising, the weather is close to the cold winter, and everyone is storing grain, but this year's year is not good, the autumn harvest is reducing the production of the whole Liao, and it is said that all parts of the Guannai are the same, Jizhen Xuanda is also a serious reduction in production, and the Shandong year on the opposite side is also poor, and now a stone of fine grain has risen to one or two silver, this price is already very terrible, and what is even more terrible is that the price of grain is still rising, Many people expect that there will be a record-breaking increase in grain prices during the spring famine next year, Han Xu has little money left, and he has to supply his subordinates with extra clothes and bedding expenses, and Gao Xiaosan on the side is distressed.

"The jacket and uniform made are cut according to the military jacket, and of course they must be dyed red, and the official will come out with this money."

The weaving and dyeing industry of the Ming Dynasty is very developed, the colors that can be dyed are very numerous, the north is good, if you go to the prosperous area of the south of the Yangtze River, the clothes on the women can be described as colorful, that is, the men are not mainly gray and black, the military uniforms are mainly cyan and red, the Ming army is also called "red", but also because the military uniforms are still red.

If the red fat jacket is a new dress made carefully, it is also very energetic to wear on people, and the big hat with the red fat jacket will bring out the spirit of the army.

Han Xu ignored Gao Xiaosan's eyes on the side, and still ordered this shopkeeper Li to dye his jacket.

The iron luggage shopkeeper is to send hundreds of catties of fine iron, all of which are bought by the Beijing division to the high-grade Fujian iron in Liaodong, the vegetation in the north of the Ming Dynasty is seriously damaged, a large number of residents need wood is cut down, and do not know how to protect, the longer the development time of the place the more miserable, the Loess Plateau and the Central Plains are typical examples, who can know that there are elephants and rhinoceros in the Yellow River area before the Spring and Autumn Period? Because of the lack of wood, coal is used for ironmaking in the north, and the quality of iron is naturally not good if there are too many impurities, and Han Xu wants to build weapons and has no foundation to make iron by himself, so he can only buy it.

A pound of iron is a cent and a half cents of silver, the price has not risen, Han Xu bought dozens of taels of silver of fine Fujian iron, but the shopkeeper Li said first, now the prices are expensive in various places, and it is estimated that the price will have to rise next time.

"My lord," Gao Xiaosan said with a sad face, "our silver is less than two hundred." ”
