Chapter 251: Wang Hongyu's Production Base
During this time, C. C. C. and others visited Yunshan Academy, Longmen Academy, and various workshops in Yunxian County. Many children from well-to-do families have mostly studied for a few years, so it is natural that the mobile library of the Beijing Academy has become a place they frequent.
These children have plenty of time and spend their days in the library. Qiao C. C. Bai also made a few partners of the same age, and the relationship was relatively good.
Except for a small number of rotten Confucians in Yunshan Academy, most of the others have a good impression of Wang Hongyu's group. Those who have a good impression include the Hua family, the Yang family, etc., and their son has also become friends with Qiao Jibai.
These families are relatively open, not only the boys in the family can read, but the girls can also read and write, especially for the catering, chess and cards, drama, painting, music advocated by the Hunhe Army, they all want their children to learn more skills.
Like the Bao family and the Kong family, although it was more than ten years ago, and their descendants are also educated, but no one has been admitted to the fame, because the later fame needs connections, and they have no money to make friends with the nobles and magnates, and they can't even pass the township test.
But in the remote Yunyang Mountains, there are not many literate families like them, and they always think that they represent the scholars in northwest Hubei Province, but in fact, they are not even comparable to the landlords in other places.
The arrival of the Hunhe Army brought many new things, whether it was the mobile library of the Beijing Academy, or the construction of bookstores, workshops, chess and cards, dramas, paintings, and music, all of which would impact their leadership in Yunyang.
They have been stationed for a long time, and they also have to expand the army and Tuntian, and the corrupt Confucians think that the Hunhe army will crush them sooner or later, and naturally they are not used to what the Hunhe army does.
But after all, there are many more beneficiaries than these rotten people~
The propaganda inside the city inspired the army and the people, and the Hunhe army outside the city was not idle.
The generals led by example, the soldiers were disciplined, the garrison training did not disturb the people, the purchases were purchased at normal prices, and there were regular labors to help the people level a dirt road.
This is the new look after the reorganization, they are no longer the Sichuan soldiers, Zhejiang soldiers, Shizhu soldiers such old-style soldiers and horses, but a new army composed from the bottom up, and can fight tough battles according to orders, with the responsibility of protecting the people and revitalizing the world.
Along the way, he carried out night classes, grievance complaints and other activities, specially carried out exchange meetings on teamwork, geographical knowledge, and military skills, and also regularly helped the people to do some work that did twice the result with half the effort.
These have become the bloodline of the new army, and they are by no means temporary morale-boosting moves.
Now half of the soldiers not only know hundreds of words, but also teach their comrades to practice literacy together.
This time, he was stationed outside Yunxian County, and in his spare time, he taught some people literacy, although he couldn't teach much, and the method was very earthy, but it worked.
Because these soldiers also learned to read from illiterate for a short time, they were very familiar with the experience of not being literate, and there were many local methods of teaching, and the words taught were the easiest to remember.
The people in the vicinity of the garrison liked the Hunhe Army very much, especially bringing their children to learn literacy.
In business, too, the Hunhe army strictly observed fair trade, the non-commissioned officers supervised the military officials and did not engage in privileges, and the ordinary soldiers were also proud of their friendly relations with the people.
After a few days, the people of Yunxian County have a good impression of them, especially the fair price of buying things, which is in contrast to some of the arrogant soldiers and horses that everyone has seen and who love to bully the people.
Also helped dig a few wells.
There are only four wells in Yunxian County, and the amount of water used is simply not enough, so the people have to go out of the city to the Han River one mile away in the south to draw water, which is not only inconvenient, but also because the organisms in the water are complex, which often causes illness.
Later, a governor was very promising, and he dug several wells in the city to solve the draft problem in the county.
However, the draft water outside the county is mainly to fetch water from rivers and lakes, and there are still problems of inconvenience in taking water and easy to cause illness in water quality.
Along the way, the Hunhe Army carried out exchanges of experience in wilderness survival, and was familiar with the road of taking water in the wilderness and digging wells in an emergency.
This time, two wells were drilled directly inside the station, two outside the station, and the two wells outside were open to the common people.
The wells selected by these veterans are well located, dug deeply, the masonry is stable, and the amount of water is abundant, which is very convenient for military and civilian life.
The people around the garrison welcomed the arrival of the Hunhe Army.
Wang Hongyu also suggested that the Hunhe army boil water before drinking, which greatly reduced the problem of drinking water.
Now this army is not only very capable of fighting, internal unity, close to the workers and peasants, but also has become a propaganda team to disseminate cultural and health experiences.
Although the Hunhe army had well water, they paid attention to hygiene when taking water, and boiled it before using it.
At the same time, it was advertised to the surrounding people to boil water before drinking.
Yunyang is lush with vegetation and coal, and it is considered an area that does not lack much fuel for living, and it is feasible to boil water.
Some of the people began to learn to imitate.
It is often better to let the people feel good from the bottom up than to use government decrees from the top down.
After Wang Hongyu returned, he commended the non-commissioned officers who actively participated in teaching, drilling wells, and propaganda, and this atmosphere in the army was even stronger.
It is indeed developing towards the goal of being based on workers, peasants, and soldiers.
There are good things, and of course there are troubles.
The biggest problem is eating.
Add 3,000 mouths to eat at once, and as a strong army, you also have to eat meat, fish and shrimp, fruits and vegetables to maintain adequate nutrition.
Grain is transferred from the warehouse, and even if there are grain reserves in Yunxian and Junzhou, there is a lot of pressure.
Wang Hongyu fulfilled his words, and asked Ai Youzhi in Xiangyang to also transfer a batch of grain to be transported along the Han River, and in the future, the transfer of Junzhou and Gucheng was reduced, and it was directly transported to Yunxian County to supply soldiers and horses for food.
The food for the soldiers and horses came from the government, but meat, fish, shrimp, and fruits had to be purchased from the market.
Even if the money is given reasonably, it is not a small amount.
The demand for 3,000 soldiers and horses, as well as the purchasing power that Wang Hongyu saved for the Hunhe army, suddenly made these supplies in Yunxian not enough.
Meat and fruit are sold out.
The prices of fish, shrimp and vegetables have risen several times.
It's not anyone's fault, it's that Yunxian can't produce so many materials.
Wang Hongyu immediately set about mobilizing, sending the first battalion of the Hunhe Army to Zhushan County and the first battalion to Yunxi County, and asking the Yunyang prefect to arrange a suitable station.
Although Yunxi County has not been inspected, it is the second largest county in Yunyang, and it is also one of the areas to be focused on development.
Then another battalion was sent to Junzhou to train in river crossing, bridge building and water warfare.
This leaves the camp half empty.
It is not enough to reduce the number of people, and it is necessary to prepare for tuntian production.
The Hunhe Army is a professional soldier, teaching literacy and helping the people is only a small part of daily life, and most of the time it still needs to be trained.
Therefore, it is necessary to build tuntian fields that are specialized in development and construction.
The name is called, "Construction of Military Tuntian", that is, the military tuntian specializing in construction.
Construction includes but is not limited to: farming, grazing, engineering, road construction, cooking, medical care, fire fighting and flood control, etc.
The plan is based on the families of the Hunhe Army, retired veterans, and Yunyang displaced people.
During this period of time in Yunxian, I will first do a good job in this task.
