Ye Yunyu stood up and solemnly blessed her body and said, "Sisters will not let down brothers." ”

"Old Cao, you can be satisfied with our arrangement." Ye Yunyu's clear and translucent eyes looked at Cao Huaimin and said, "Speaking of which, Cao Lao, don't be angry, you are also old and small, and it is also difficult to divide the land." ”

"We'll help too." Chen Zhongyuan immediately said when he heard this.

Cao Huaimin shook his head and said with a smile, "I thank my brothers first." ”

"Sit down, a few of you." Hong Lianshuo tilted his head slightly, looked at Chen Zhongyuan, and their hands swung downward.

Chen Zhongyuan bowed and said, "I hope Mrs. Hong can agree." ”

"It's uncomfortable to sit down and talk, it's uncomfortable to tilt your head like this." Hong Lianshuo raised his eyes and looked at them and said, "Listen to me about this." ”

Chen Zhongyuan sat down numbly, and Jiang Shuisheng and the others also sat down again.

"You have forgotten that we are now a soldier and a farmer." Hong Lianshuo looked at them angrily and said, "We have a small territory now, and this land is planted like a horse pulling a plow and hoeing the land, and when the harvest comes, we must all go into battle and return the particles to the warehouse as soon as possible, so that people can rest assured." ”

"I'm going to gather ears of wheat too." Hong Wangyue said in a milky voice.

"Yes!" Hong Lianshuo was stunned when he heard this, and then rubbed his head with a smile and said.

"After this! According to the statistics of the garrison places, it is necessary to help the widowed and lonely old people, carry water, crack firewood, and farm the land. Hong Lianshuo looked at them with deep and clear eyes and said, "I also have to take care of my comrades' families, so that they have no worries, and it is glorious to serve in the army." ”

Lin Nanzheng looked at her in astonishment, these brothers still followed her with all their hearts! High, really high!

"Do you have any problems with that?" Hong Lianshuo looked at them with warm eyes like jade and said.

"It's gone, it's gone." Chen Zhongyuan looked at her stupidly and smiled.

"Then let's disperse!" Hong Lianshuo stood up and looked at them and said.

"Oops!" The hulala people dispersed at once, and the four joys carried straw mats and put them in the gatehouse guarding the city.

&*&

"Let's go back!" Hong Lianshuo put his son on the back of the horse and led the horse on the cobblestone official road.

"This official road is paved, and it is much more comfortable to walk." Chen Zhongyuan smiled and said, "I'm looking forward to the heavy rain now, to test the effect of this road paving?" ”

"I feel right and have faith." Cao Huaimin said very arrogantly, "After accurate calculations, this high place, the brothers are sincere, and they have rammed it over and over again." Afraid of landslides, there are still piles of pebbles on both sides. ”

"Got it, Cao Lao is an expert." Lin Nanzheng chuckled and shook his head.

"Are you walking on your feet?" Hong Lianshuo's eyes like ink jade looked at them and asked with concern, "Especially those who wear straw sandals, this foundation is thin." ”

"It's okay! The pebbles are somewhat large and not particularly crumbled. Jiang Shuisheng looked down at the straw sandals on his feet, and suddenly exclaimed, "Ah! That's right. ”

"Just say anything, you're scared to death." Chen Zhongyuan tilted his head slightly and looked at him and said.

"It's cold, let's get dressed! We have, stuff a little fly flotsam to keep out the cold. Jiang Shuisheng's happy mouth grinned to the root of his ears and said, "Plus there is a fire kang this year, so it is not so difficult in winter, but what should we do if we have feet?" You can't wear straw sandals all the time! ”

"Isn't there boots in this barracks?" Hong Lianshuo looked at them lightly and asked.

"Boots are only worn by generals with rank, and we ordinary soldiers are not qualified." Sixi flattened his mouth and snorted coldly.

"How did you spend the winter?" Hong Lianshuo looked at them in disbelief and asked again.

"Wooden shoes, stuffed with hay." Chen Zhongyuan's caterpillar-like eyebrows wrinkled slightly, "Haven't you worn it?" ”

"Oh! The straw sandals I wore. Hong Lianshuo said without blushing and panting, in fact, he didn't lie, the natives wore it like this.

"Do the wooden shoes fit? How else do you train. Hong Lianshuo looked at them with her eyebrows raised and asked.

"In the winter, this training is reduced." Jiang Shuisheng looked at her with dark eyes when he heard this, and said seriously.

"Is there a winter army?" Hong Lianshuo suddenly looked at them curiously and asked.

"We are located here in the north, and it is too cold in winter to turn into ice, and there are not many troops, so we have to pay for the loss if we freeze to death." Chen Zhongyuan frowned at her with caterpillar-like eyebrows and said, "Fighting in winter is something that Zhongyuan tries to avoid. ”

"Then it's time for us to recuperate." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with bright eyes and said.

"Uh-huh!" Hearing this, Han Baohu nodded hurriedly, "This winter march will naturally be hindered by the march caused by the blizzard, and the snow will not only affect the march of the soldiers. At the same time, it will also cause difficulties in the transportation of grain and grass supplies. ”

"Will the Hu soldiers from the north attack again?" Sixi said worriedly.

"Normally not, it's cold, which in itself is a huge obstacle. They cherish people more than we do. Lin Nanzheng looked at them with a smile on his face and said solemnly, "Unless the grassland suffers from a snow disaster, forcing them to go south to grab food to survive the difficulties." ”

"Then bless the grassland to be warmer, don't come." Jiang Shuisheng folded his hands and prayed to God.

Although winter is indeed a big problem, for the current generals, it is not that they don't want to fight in winter, so they don't have to fight in winter.

Therefore, it has become a very important matter to solve the negative impact of cold on the war.

There are two problems to deal with in the winter war: first, how to ensure stable logistics; Second, how to keep the soldiers warm.

In fact, the former is much easier than the latter.

The hardest part is how to keep warm.

Before the rise of cotton in ancient times, the traditional textile industry was mainly based on silk and linen.

As a means of keeping out the cold, most people nowadays use animal skins or linen cloth to make quilts and cold-proof clothes.

However, the low yield of these two has been a problem that has been difficult to solve for a long time, so silk has always been an important part of the tax in kind levied on farmers in ancient times. In order to be able to ensure the supply of the government and the army.

But even so, it is still difficult to maintain a military presence in the higher northern dimensions for a long time.

Therefore, the actual control area of the Central Plains Dynasty, which rarely exceeds the Liaodong region to the north, is too cold.

Because the cultivation of cotton was popularized on a large scale, the actual control of the Central Plains Dynasty rose in the military cold food, and it expanded to the north on a large scale.

Cotton! How long will it take for this to come! Hong Lianshuo is now extremely eager for cotton, but he only longs for it, and the Maritime Silk Road is underdeveloped.
