According to the itinerary, Li Zhigao should leave Taipingfu City before dark, return to the Chenjiazhuang base, inspect more important industrial areas, and go to the military academy to give lectures to non-commissioned officers at night, and then return to modern times to deliver supplies.

Originally, Li Zhigao planned to let Yin Ruizhi stay in Jinxiu Garden to rest and visit Chenjiazhuang tomorrow, who knew that after Yin Ruizhi heard that Li Zhigao was going back to Chenjiazhuang now, that is, where Li Zhigao's core barracks were located, he was actually full of energy, and even said that he was not tired, and said that he wanted to take a look at the situation immediately.

Seeing that Yin Ruizhi was so energetic, he thought about it, except for the secret industrial zone, it was nothing to take her to see other places in the Chenjiazhuang base, and it was not bad to let her listen to it when he gave a lecture to the soldiers at night, at least it could allow her to integrate into her own group faster, and let the people of the Liberation Society come over faster, so I agreed to take Yin Ruizhi with me, and by the way, I found someone to inform Liu Jinshui, who was still in the old mansion because of a nap, and missed following him, and after that, the group set off again and drove directly to Chenjiazhuang.

As mentioned earlier, Chenjiazhuang is actually at the foot of Ma'anshan, so there is a distance away from the capital of Taipingfu, fortunately, most of this road is an official road, and the road condition is not bad, and then Li Zhigao expanded the control range of the Chenjiazhuang base, forming a large military restricted area, so there is not much time to drive out of the city, less than half an hour, Li Zhigao and his entourage came to a sentry post with soldiers blocking the road and parked the car, which is already the edge of the military restricted area, and then go further, it is about to enter the military restricted area.

There were a total of four sentry soldiers blocking the road, all wearing Kuomintang American-style military uniforms, wearing M35 helmets, holding Chuntian rifles, standing straight on the edge of the sentry, looking full of energy.

Although they all knew Li Zhigao's logo and the car behind him, the sentry still sent people to inquire in a proper manner, and asked for their documents and passes.

This is Li Zhigao's rule, no matter who it is, even if it is himself, he must show his ID and pass when entering and leaving the camp, otherwise even if he sees him with his own eyes, he must be stopped first, and wait for the person in charge of the barracks to ask about the situation by phone before replying, otherwise he will not be allowed to enter.

In this regard, Li Zhigao is well aware of the role of upward and downward effects, so he starts from himself, of course, this can also ensure the safety of the base.

Sure enough, although he saw Li Zhigao himself, although the soldier who seemed to have just changed the guard was a little excited, he still carefully looked at Li Zhigao's documents and passes, and then returned the things to Li Zhigao respectfully, and saluted again, and then let others lift the pole and let them go.

After the release, Li Zhigao restarted the car and continued to drive along the road. Others don't know, but he knows that the one just now is the bright sentry, in fact, there are a lot of dark posts behind, if you break through, even if you can quickly kill the people in the bright post, you will still be discovered by the dark sentry, and the rear will be notified in time.

That is to say, although there is only one sentinel card to the camp, there are three dark sentinels, and the dark sentinels are the same as the bright sentinels, all of which are in 24-hour shifts, the difference is that the dark sentinels are equipped with night vision devices, and they will not take the initiative to send people out to inquire, but only observe in the dark.

"Seriously, your regimental uniforms are really good-looking." Yin Ruizhi, who was in the car, subconsciously touched the military uniform he was wearing, "Crisp and durable, much better than the clothes of the patrol battalion, and it is cool and breathable to wear, but it doesn't look like cotton, nor like silk, by the way, what is this?" ”

"Hehe, this is a new type of fabric, not cotton, not silk." Li Zhigao smiled, "In addition, you are dressed differently from them." ”

"Different? What's the difference? Yin Ruizhi asked, "I think it's about the same." ”

"You are wearing a non-commissioned officer uniform, which is a blend of polyester and cotton in a certain proportion, which belongs to the mid-range goods, not only looks crisp and good-looking, but also has a strong hygroscopic surname, which is both beautiful and breathable, and is one of the best fabrics for summer clothing. They are wearing soldiers' uniforms, which are just cheap goods made of pure polyester fabric, although they look similar to your and mine's clothes, but they don't absorb sweat much, and they are not as comfortable to wear as pure cotton or blended, so I said that the material of the clothes is very different. ”

"Polyester? What is that? ”

"Well, hehehe, it's a new type of fiber, man-made fiber."

"Man-made fibers? So what? ”

"Well, it's man-made fibers." Li Zhigao smiled and said no more, because this matter cannot be explained in a few words.

"The clothes are really good, but your clothes are expensive at first glance, and with the money to buy clothes, wouldn't it be better for you to buy more arms?"

"You don't understand that." Li Zhigao smiled, "A uniform and handsome dress can enhance the sense of teamwork and honor of the troops, and to a certain extent, the power of military uniforms is stronger than the power of weapons, that is a kind of spirit." Forget it, I can't tell these things for a while, in short, you have to know that when I am a soldier, I have to be handsome and cool enough to be majestic enough, I just want to give them the best clothes, the best weapons, the best treatment and the best respect, and then let them hand me the best answer. ”

"I understand, it's really good that you train like this." Yin Ruizhi shook his head, "It's a pity that not ordinary people can practice, even the Qing court, I don't think there is such a big hand as you." To put it simply, you are only suitable for training elite soldiers, and it is not good if you have a large number. ”

"Don't be afraid of numbers." Li Zhigao smiled, "As long as you can make money and can afford it, you are not afraid of more." As for the elite soldiers, I have always pursued a policy of matching high and low, that is, training some elite soldiers, and then training some ordinary soldiers. ”

Hearing Li Zhigao say this, Yin Ruizhi didn't ask any more, anyway, since she came into contact with Li Zhigao, she has seen too many novelties, clothes are just a trivial matter, just say this car, this air conditioner, that is also something she never dreamed of before, who would have thought that there was a cooling device in the car, but at first she thought that there was ice cubes in it. Not to mention, the things I saw before, that is, although the time is still short, Yin Ruizhi's heart has begun to admire and recognize Li Zhigao, but because of the surname, he still doesn't admit it for the time being.

The convoy continued to move forward, and soon turned a forest, and found that the field of vision suddenly became wider, through the window glass, Yin Ruizhi could clearly see that there were large areas of vigorous rice on both sides of the road, although it was not yet the harvest season, but Yin Ruizhi was born as a small landlord, and he was also in contact with agriculture since he was a child.

"Stop, stop!" Suddenly, Yin Ruizhi said loudly.

Although it was a little strange, Li Zhigao still stopped the car, and as soon as the car stopped, Yin Ruizhi immediately opened the door and ran to a place.

Li Zhigao got out of the car and took a look, only to find that Yin Ruizhi was running towards the leather water pipe that was being watered, where there were three middle-aged women, who were rolling up their trouser legs and bare feet, smiling and chatting in the shade next to the water pipe that sprayed outward.

Stunned, he looked at the thick water pipe that kept spraying water, Yin Ruizhi walked along the water pipe again, and finally found a diesel engine water pump, which was constantly pumping water out of the well, that is to say, this is all pumped well water.

"You're using well water here?" Glancing at Li Zhigao, who was following up, Yin Ruizhi pointed to the water pump, "Are you pumping well water to water the ground?" ”

"yes." Li Zhigao nodded with a smile.

"How can it be so fast?" Yin Ruizhi pointed to a white water dragon that spewed out, "What kind of pumping machine is this?" ”

"Diesel engine water pump." Li Zhigao said, "Using the machine as a power to pump up the water for irrigation, I am like this, otherwise, where can the rice grow so well?" You know, there has been a terrible drought here recently, and it hasn't rained much, so if you don't use this watering, even if the rice doesn't die, the yield will definitely be reduced. ”

Hearing Li Zhigao say this, Yin Ruizhi sighed: "The weapon of the country, the weapon of the country!" With this, the peasants no longer have to rely on the sky for food, and even if they don't rely on rivers or streams, they don't have to worry about water. As long as there is a good harvest and everyone can have enough to eat, it is really a great act of kindness. ”

"I know." Li Zhigao said with a smile, "The people here used to grow upland rice and wheat, but since they used my machine, they have all planted rice, and they are all seedlings and machines I provide, and they only need to work hard." In this way, left-behind women can be used for farming, children can go to school, and young and strong people can go to work or become soldiers, in short, a lot of labor can be saved. ”

"Where did all this stuff come from?" Yin Ruizhi asked again.

"It's still the same sentence." Li Zhigao smiled, "Secret! ”

had expected Li Zhigao to say this, so Yin Ruizhi just nodded: "But I'm wondering, aren't you a military camp, how can you still have rice fields?" ”

"It should be said that this is not a military camp in Chenjiazhuang, but a private military restricted area for me." Li Zhigao stroked casually, "Here, including the entire Ma'anshan, and the area around Ma'anshan for nearly 20 miles, a total of about 15,000 acres of land, are all my private property, here, outsiders can't enter casually, they are all my private military forbidden areas." ”

――――――――

ps: I see that some book friends are confused, here is an explanation of the concept of a radius of several miles. The well field system is 900 acres (300 steps * 300 steps / 100 square steps). That is, it is a square, one mile long and one mile wide.

After the abolition of the well field system, the system of limu underwent different changes. Among them, the actual value of one acre only becomes larger. The meaning of one mile is because the ancients borrowed the unit of area as a unit of length, from a unit of area of 300 steps in length and width to a unit of length of 300 steps. But the meaning of a radius of one mile is still one square mile, referred to as one square mile. However, with the change of the mu system, the area of one mile is only equal to 540 mu (360 steps * 360 steps / 240 square steps).

In other words, a radius of one mile is actually equal to about 540 acres, and a radius of twenty miles is about 10,800 acres. The radius I am talking about here is nearly 20 li, which should be less than 10,800 mu, but in fact, in the Qing Dynasty, it is generally said that the radius is how many miles is the subjective distance, that is, the popular distance, and the actual area should be calculated according to the number on the land deed. For example, if there are mountains and hills, the area of the land is larger. In addition, there was no calculus in the Qing Dynasty at that time, so there were discrepancies in the actual algorithms, but because of the discrepancies, a radius of twenty miles here was about equal to 15,000 acres. In fact, this number appeared because when I checked the information, I saw a saying that someone occupies a place of ten miles and more than 8,000 acres of land, so there is this statement.
