286 Soldiers
According to the practice of the year, Xiong Minyang took the basket of eggs given by Mo Song as a matter of course, and even he could find fault with Mo Song's lack of courtesy, because the filial piety of a basket of eggs was too shabby for them, the officers and soldiers who came from afar. High-speed updates //
However, when Su Hao set up the survey camp, he instilled the concept of governing the army in later generations, and the three disciplines and eight points of attention to such rules are familiar to even the recruits who have just joined the survey camp, not to mention the veterans like Xiong Minyang. Seeing Mo Song's sincere and frightened look, Xiong Min accepted this intention with a smile, and at the same time asked the soldier next to him to count out 60 yuan according to the market price and handed it to Mo Song.
"How does this work!" Mo Song waved his hand again and again as if he had seen something hot, "The army is coming to the cold village, and the villain is the chief of the house, and there is nothing to give, which is extremely ashamed." With only a few dozen eggs, how dare you collect the general's money? ”
"Mori, you can take it." Xiong Minyang took the money and forced it into Mo Song's hand, "I have already seen when I entered the village, the people of Maqiao Village are living a difficult life, we are running errands here, if we eat and drink for nothing, it will be the people of fish and meat." Not to mention whether our own conscience can be at ease, even if we are guarded by adults, we will not be spared. ”
"Total, you ...... Where did the team come from? Mo Song held the money and asked timidly.
"We call it the Kanyu Battalion, and it belongs directly to the Ministry of War. In fact, it doesn't hurt to tell you about our intention, which is to measure the surrounding mountains and rivers and make maps for the military department. Xiong Min said with a snort.
"Survey of public opinion...... Map ...... "Mo Song touched his head, and he couldn't understand these things.
But. Knowing that officers and soldiers would give money for dinner, this was a pleasant thing for Mo Song. It started when I heard that the officers and soldiers were coming to the village. Mo Song has been worried about the reception, this money obviously can't be paid by a person who is the head of the village, but if it is to be distributed to all households in the village, just collecting money can exhaust him to death, you know, how many families in this village can not find a copper plate after searching the whole family.
The soldiers of the Kanyu Battalion, who were scattered to each house to stay in each house, were also explaining the problem of food expenses to their landlords at this time, and according to the standard of 20 yuan a day for one person, they handed over the food money to the landlord. Those peasants were like Mosson. First panic, then rejoicing, Luoshan is economically underdeveloped, and the price is relatively low, 20 yuan is enough for a family of five to eat for a day, which means that everyone will not only have no burden to receive these officers and soldiers, but also earn a little extra money.
"Two military masters. If you want to eat something, the villain will go to the market and buy it. Villager Mo San took 40 wen money and asked the soldiers Liao Yiming and Yin Guoxian with a happy face.
"What is the price of our meat in Luoshan?" Liao Yiming asked.
"8 pennies a pound." Mo San replied.
"Cutting ...... Two pounds of meat. Yin Guoxian said, "I came back and made the whole family to eat together, and the other vegetables, you can just watch and buy them." ”
"How dare you. This is all your money, how can we eat your meat...... "Mo San pushed back.
Liao Yiming smiled: "Old Mo, how do you talk, what do you mean by eating our meat." ”
"Oops, the villain was wrong. The villain should be damned, don't blame the military master! Mo San hurriedly apologized.
Yoon Kook-hyun stepped forward. patted Mo San on the shoulder and said, "Old Mo, in terms of age, we should call you Uncle Mo, don't be too polite to us." If you don't dislike it, you can call me and Lao Liao a brother, don't be a military master, and call us all old. ”
Mo San was stunned: "Uh...... How appropriate is this? ”
Yin Guoxian said: "If I say it's suitable, it's suitable, Lao Mo, let's make it like this." These days, our brothers are indispensable to trouble you, so we will be commensurate with brothers, eat together, and work together. Our garrison said that our survey battalion is the people's soldiers. ”
"Garrison...... What kind of official is it? Mo San asked.
Liao Yiming said: "Our garrison is the fourth grade, you know that the county is the seventh grade, you calculate, how big an official is our garrison?" ”
"Doesn't that have to be the same age as the Governor?" Mo San was shocked, he couldn't figure out how the rank in the officialdom was calculated, he only felt that an official who was bigger than the magistrate must be extremely big. Since it is such a big official hair, it must be very effective. Zi Bing, Mo San has only heard of this word in the play, and now he has finally seen the truth.
At noon that day, the long-lost smell of meat wafted in Maqiao Village, and those peasant families who had not been assigned to receive officers and soldiers all swallowed saliva and looked at those lucky neighbors with envy. The officers and soldiers entered the village without disturbing the people, and they also used money to buy meat for the people to eat, which they had never heard of, but now it was really happening in front of their eyes. While every villager was amazed, they were wondering what kind of army this was!
Go deep into the countryside and mingle with the peasants, this is the strategy set by Su Hao for the survey camp. In Runing, Su Hao is a foreign official, and the survey camp is also an outsider, and it is extremely difficult to investigate and deal with the collusion of local officials and heroes without the support of the people.
Su Hao advocated the idea of equality between officers and soldiers in the survey camp, and the style of the team was very strong, which made him dare to boldly break up the survey camp into pieces and disperse them to the rural areas of various prefectures and counties in Runing to understand the situation. After just one meal, the people of the entire Maqiao village accepted the team, and although the accents of the soldiers in the team were so unfamiliar, it did not prevent the villagers from treating them as their own.
"Old Mo, your earthen stove is too bad, do you want to ask my brother Yin to change it for you?"
After lunch, everyone sat around the table to chat and eat, Liao Yiming pointed to the stove of Mo San's house and said to Mo San.
"Brother Yin knows how to cook?" Mo San looked at Yin Guoxian strangely and asked, after a meal, Mo San is now able to call these soldiers very comfortable as his brother. In fact, most of the soldiers are also from peasants, but they just wear an extra military uniform, if they don't deliberately want to pretend to be a face to oppress the people, then what is the difference from ordinary people?
Yin Guoxian said: "Exactly." Before the younger brother became a soldier, he was a mason. But. This craft of making stoves was taught by my guards. In our hometown of Huai'an, now every household uses the stove invented by my family's guard, which is named after the surname of our Huai'an prefect, called Han's stove. ”
"Why do your guards still cook stoves?" Hearing Yin Guoxian's explanation, Mo San was even more puzzled, shouldn't such a big official be idle all day long. How could any stove be invented?
Yin Guoxian said proudly: "My family is guarded, and it has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, and even the emperor knows his name." By the way, he has also seen the emperor. The Han's stove he invented can save half of the firewood and grass than the ordinary people's stove, and if it is compared with your old Mo family's stove, it can save seventy percent of the firewood and grass. ”
"Really?" Mo San's eyes widened. Whether the garrison has seen the emperor or not, this has nothing to do with him, he is more concerned about the problem of saving firewood stoves that Yin Guoxian said, "If you can save seventy percent of firewood and grass, then my family can save hundreds of dollars in firewood and grass alone in a year." ”
People in the mountains don't have to spend money to buy firewood and grass. But it also takes effort to cut in the mountains. If you can save this firewood and grass and pick it up and sell it, it can be turned into cash. Mo San has little culture, but on this kind of issue, his calculations are extremely shrewd.
"No further ado. Old Mo, it's okay to eat now. I'll change this stove for you. ”
Yin Guoxian stood up as he spoke, rolled up his sleeves and walked to the stove. Mo San pretended to be embarrassed, symbolically stopped, and went with Yin Guoxian.
Su Hao used the knowledge of later generations to design the provincial firewood stove, after the promotion in Fengcheng, the technology has been very mature. Han Wen was transferred from Fengcheng to Huai'an to be the prefect, and brought the experience of the provincial firewood stove with him, and promoted it in Huai'an as a project to benefit the people. To promote the provincial firewood stove, Hangul of course had to rely on Su Hao's strength, and Su Hao taught the skills to the officers and soldiers of the Kanyu Battalion, and then let them teach them to the local masons. For this reason, the officers and men of the survey battalion more or less know a little about the construction method of saving firewood stoves, and such a technology can undoubtedly be greatly welcomed in the rural areas.
In the countryside, there are no secrets about the affairs of each family. Yin Guoxian renovated the provincial firewood stove for Mo Sanjia, and the news spread throughout the village at once. The small stove room of Mo Sanjia became an exhibition hall, and the men and women of the village took turns to visit, looking at it and commenting on it. Soon, news spread from other families that the officers and soldiers living at home were also helping their homes renovate their stoves. For a while, the whole village was in a commotion, there were people who trotted all the way to dig yellow mud outside the village, some were busy going to the market to find blacksmiths to make stoves and grates, and there were also those who walked around and watched the excitement in the west.
"What are these officers and soldiers trying to do?" Villager Mo Zhengxiang and Mo Zhengyuan muttered together.
"I heard from the chief that they were in the public opinion camp."
"Survey? Isn't that what a Taoist priest does? ”
"It's not the kind of Taoist priests who survey, they say they draw maps."
"Drawing a map? What does this have to do with cooking? ”
"The sage said, 'If something is abnormal, it must be a demon.'
"The saint said that?"
“……”
Of course, such a discussion was fruitless, and in fact, the same doubts were swirling in the hearts of the gentry in the countless villages of Runing Province, but they could not guess the mystery at all. Some Haoqiang also heard the news, and they also knew that this team called the Survey Camp came with the Su Bachelor sent by the imperial court to investigate the case. But their brains can't connect the investigation with things like renovating the provincial firewood stove, and in the end they can only regard these as Su Hao's pro-people show.
This young bachelor probably climbed to a high position by means of some chickens and dogs, right? As for what kind of land occupation case should be investigated, phew!
