When he saw Li Dan and Song Jiuyi, he cried bitterly, and then told him about the incident before and after the incident, and reported the current situation of the team.

"During this period of rest, everyone's mood has recovered a little, and the monk (Gao Hanzi) proposed to resume running and training every day. Eh, that's a good idea, there are fewer people who are thinking about it, and there are more people who are holding back their energy to fight back, and the morale has improved a lot."

Song Jiuyi said, and told him the current situation of equipment and grain.

"The animals have lost a lot of weight, and there is a lack of horse feed. Fortunately, the mountains are full of grass to eat, but I don't dare to force it, and I will lose weight if I run a little." He said to Zhu Qing.

"It's natural." Zhu Qing nodded, the livestock can only survive by eating grass, and if they want to do heavy work, they have to be given concentrated feed, such as beans, alfalfa, salt, and even war horses also need to be provided with eggs, carrots (i.e., carrots) and other supplementary feed.

"It's not easy for you to bring the team out and keep so many people! Go rest, eat, take a hot bath and get some sleep, and tomorrow a boat will take you back."

Li Dan encouraged and comforted him, and asked Mao Zai to take him to the guest room by the kitchen (the room where the original ethnic students lived) to rest.

At this time, Xie Yousan came in and reminded that there was still a soldier waiting outside, do you want to see it? Li Dan caught a glimpse of a young man sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard, and asked with a smile, "Is that the person?" Why do you look like a scholar?"

"He does know how to read, and he seems to know a lot!" Xie Yousan said.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work today, and you have made a great contribution. What a blessing! You take him to have dinner and arrange accommodation first, and then I'll ask Brother Mao to invite him." Xie Yousan happily agreed to go out.

Li Dan turned around, looked at Zhu Qing and Feng Shen with gloomy faces, and sneered, "I originally thought that Yingtan was too far south, and I would send people over when I had the strength, who would think that my own soldiers would be there, but it was very unexpected here!"

What a silver tuo, he recovered so quickly and took a bite, and it was such a large blood debt, it was really a death!"

"Your Excellency is going south?"

"No, our current opponent is Yang He and his son, and we can't take care of the south for the time being." Li Dan hugged his shoulders and thought, "But you can't let it go. I'm afraid that Yintuo will come to seek an alliance or alliance with the Jiangshan Army, and if they join forces, it will be extremely disadvantageous to us!"

"My lord, I think this is less likely, and the other is more likely!" Feng Shen leaned forward and whispered:

"If he did not hesitate to attack Geyang in order to take revenge on the Tsing Yi team, after owning Xing'an and Guixi counties one after another, would he go all the way east to capture Lead Mountain and Guangxin?"

"Guangxin?" Li Dan turned his head suddenly: "He wants revenge? So is there a way for us to send a letter to Shan?"

"I'm afraid it's too late." Feng Shen frowned and said, "I have walked all these roads, and it is not far from Geyang to Guangxin, which is similar to Geyang to Yingtan. If he didn't come west, he must have gone east!

Also, sending someone to take Xing'an is likely to be a harbinger, he cut off Hengfeng Road this time, and completely cut off the external contact between Shangrao and Guangxin as soon as he started.

In other words, these two cities have been isolated! This time is much more dangerous than the last time, Nanchang is contained by the Jiangshan army, and Shangrao does not even have reinforcements!"

Feng Shen was not only familiar with the geography around Shangrao, but also fought for a few months and made a lot of military progress, so he saw the danger of Shangrao at a glance.

"If you want to send a letter to Shanda, I can do it, but I'm worried that people are still on the way, and Guangxin has already fallen."

Feng Shen sighed: "Instead of sending a letter to remind you, it's better to think about which direction Guangxin and Shangrao's official army will go if they break through, and then send someone to answer it."

"Feng Senjun already has no confidence in Shangrao? Tens of thousands of people can fight at least a dozen, right? Didn't we have a confrontation for a long time before?" Zhu Qing asked in surprise.

"It's different." Li Dan shook his head: "Last time, the enemy army was short of food, and this time it was after the autumn harvest. Last time, it was Lou who was the main thief, and this time I am afraid that Yintuo's aggressiveness will far exceed that of Lou Zishi, who is ambitious and talented."

He lowered his arm and said, "The Intelligence Section must find out the enemy's garrisons and movements in Guixi, Geyang, and Xing'an as soon as possible, and report them at any time!"

"Yes!"

"We're here in Yingtan

There are not many resources that can be invested, and at present we must focus our main energy on dealing with the Jiangshan Army, and this direction cannot be changed! But it is necessary to support as much as possible. Zhu Siwu, you write down:

Li Biao was instructed to increase the purchase of food and winter clothes for 1,500 people. The ironware factory in Yujiazhai allocated 400 spears, 100 single knives, and 30 wooden crossbows to Yingtan.

Let the Gubu Inspection Department immediately buy a batch of wound medicine, and then allocate all the existing alcohol in their hands to send it to Anren urgently, you arrange for the ship to be transported to Yingtan, and then the Division will replenish the supplies for the Gubu side.

In addition, 600 stone of grain and 30 stone of bean feed were urgently dispatched from the standing warehouse of the Gubu militia, and the above quantities will be allocated to Gubu to make up for it after the arrival of the grain procured by the Division Division."

After Zhu Qing memorized it, he handed it to Li Dan to read, and Li Dan took out the seal of the inspection and stamped it and asked him to hand it over to the staff officer on duty.

Then he said to Feng Shen, "Do you think you can transfer Ruihong's Xiangyong over? I feel that there is still a shortage of manpower, and we need to strengthen the defense of Stone Harbor."

"Your Excellency is still worried about Yintuo?" Feng Shen thought about it: "It's better to let Tie Linglong (Sun She) organize two or three hundred people on the spot, it is faster and their determination to defend the township is also stronger."

"That's fine. Tomorrow, I will report this to Zhao Tongzhi and discuss with him how to deal with Shangrao's official army." Li Dan nodded: "This team in Yingtan is an unexpected joy, I want to use it well!"

The key now is to reorganize and train him, so that he can work hard. In addition, someone with a lot of ideas should be sent to join the army, who do you think is appropriate?"

"No one can compare to Song Qian's ability to organize and train, and he is still chopping wood in the mountains when he travels far away (Song Qianzi), I think, just let him hurry down the mountain and do something serious." Feng Shen said with a smile.

"Chopping wood is also a serious business." Li Dan also smiled, and then said to Zhu Qing, who had just returned, "Can you send someone to chop wood and let Song Qian take his newly rescued former officers and brothers to Yingtan? I need them to train the team."

"Of course, I'll draft the order." After Zhu Qing finished speaking, he sat down and bowed his head to write.

"Tomorrow, we will borrow fifty stone of grain from the county treasury, and give five hundred yuan of the money we brought to Song Jiuyi, and let him take it back from Yingtan." Li Dan said:

"In addition, please ask Zhou Xin to help, recruit two doctors who understand surgery, and hire them for three months at the price of ten yuan per month!" After speaking, he asked Brother Mao to take a map around Yingtan.

"I'm going to set up a castle in Yingtan, about two miles in circumference, and ask them to choose two plans to report up. However, this fort can only be made of rammed earth with bamboo tendons. You can give some wood, and no amount of material can provide it for the time being.

Song Qian can take half of the tools from the lumberyard, and we will collect some more in Anren and give them to Yingtan for use." At this time, Li Dan remembered the young man who joined the army, so he asked Mao Zai to invite him over.

"Do you know Yu Jiang's enemy?" Before anyone arrived, Li Dan asked Feng Shen.

"The last time I went to Dongxiang to meet with 'Ore (Wang Xi), he told me that there were less than 1,000 people stationed on the Yujiang side, and forty percent of them were guarding the grain depot." Feng Shen replied.

"Oh? How did the Yang family put the grain depot in Yujiang?"

"The official warehouse in Yujiang is a transit grain depot, and the grain collected from the surrounding area must be stored here first, and then it is decided whether to distribute it to Dongxiang or Fuzhou, so a large number of transport vehicles and horses are also concentrated in Dongxiang." After Feng Shen finished speaking, he looked at Li Dan:

"It is said that the official warehouse here now collects and stores 110,000 stone of grain, far exceeding the amount collected and stored by the county government through tax collection and pingguang, so I have no choice but to build a new 30 hoards.

"110,000 stones?" Li Dan bit his lower lip.

"Your Excellency is tempted again? If we beat Yu Jiang, we don't have an inside line over there, we can only take it." Feng Shen looked at Zhu Qing and said.

"No, it's not the time yet, wait." Li Dan rolled his eyes, shook his head and replied, "If the Jiangshan army hasn't drawn its attention back in a few days, for the safety of Fuzhou, I'm afraid I will fight Yu Jiang's idea.

But you can't start too early, alarm them and pounce now, and all kinds of defenses and fortifications are not done, so what's the point? The gains will outweigh the losses, at least the damage to the enemy.

」

He walked a few steps with his hands behind his back like an adult, and then turned around: "When we are not ready, we will not move him first, but we must be prepared to move, do you know what I mean?"

Feng Shen touched the beard on his chin and nodded, "What do you mean, my lord, that he is as quiet as a virgin and moves as a rabbit?"

"That's what it means!" Li Dan said happily, and then said to Zhu Qing, "Tell the news of Yingtan of the General Staff Headquarters, except for the logistics department, the rest of the departments can be transferred to Anren. I think we will fight in Geyang, Shangrao, and even Fuzhou in the later stage, and it is not appropriate for them to continue to stay in Yugan."

"But...... Anren is cramped, and the entire staff department has come over, so I'm afraid the entire Zhou family can't fit it?"

"It doesn't matter! Li Dan pointed to the east: "The terrain over there is a little higher, but it's very empty. Go back and let the engineering department plan to see if you can use it. There are also a lot of open spaces along the banks of the river, and the key is to do a good job in flood prevention and flood prevention. 「

As he was talking, Brother Mao reported outside the door that Mr. Yang, who had come to join the army, had arrived. Li Dan invited him in to speak.

As soon as people entered the door, everyone else was fine, Li Dan was stunned. watched him come forward to salute himself, and said, "Student Yang Shijie pays a visit to Lord Du Inspector."

"Excuse me." Li Dan sneered: "Please raise your head and talk back." The room was full of surprise, because Li Dan had never said this to anyone. Yang Shijie hesitated and slowly raised his head, Li Dan looked at it carefully, and asked, "Jun is from Yingtan?"

"No, it's Shangrao Chashan people below."

"Oh! There is a surname Lou among your tea mountain surnames, but you are related to them?" As soon as these words came out, Feng Shen lost a smile on his face, reached out and took the waist knife leaning on the coffee table in his hand, and gave Lu Jiu a look.

Yang Shijie smiled slightly unhurriedly and said, "The adults really know a lot about the Lou family, how do you know that the student has a blood relationship with it?"

"Hehe, I'm afraid few people in the Manchu Dynasty Wenbu Li know what Lou Thief looks like. But it just so happened that his four sons, Benguan, happened to see Shi Ming and Shi Fan before the battle!" Li Dan stared at the other party and said.

"I see, the adults have seen the second brother, no wonder they can see through me at a glance!" Yang Shijie smiled calmly, hugged his fists and said:

"In the next surname Lou, Lou is the uncle of the same clan in the next time, and the ancestors are all from Fengning. My father, Lou Zien, was the former envoy of Ninghai, Zhejiang. His father died in battle, and Shijie was raised by his mother with the rank of captain.

Lou Zishi sent people to invite him several times after the incident, and made the eldest brother (Lou Shiyong) come to the door, wanting to let him go with them, which was really annoying.

Therefore, he asked his mother for permission to leave Yingtan in the name of becoming a monk, and used the pseudonym Yang Shijie. The Yang family is also in the Xia Wife clan!"

"I see, I don't want you to be a hero!" Li Dan said and stood up and saluted: "Since you are a martial artist, you must have a letter on your body?"

Yang Shijie returned the salute, and then took out a green peony gold flower bag from the pocket under his clothes and presented it, and Lu Jiu stepped forward to take it in front of Li Dan.

When Li Dan took it and opened it, there was a delicate green ribbon bronze beast button small seal inside, printed with the four seal characters of "Ci Xiao Cavalry Captain".

Li Dan stepped forward and returned it to him, and asked with a smile: "Since you have the title of Yin Feng on your body, I will introduce you to Zhao Tongzhi tomorrow, and you can show your skills by doing things under him." How?"

Yang Shijie hurriedly waved his hand: "I came here under a pseudonym to avoid implicating my parents, wife and children.

If you see love, please ease your cheeks in front of Zhao Tongzhi, and let me do some paperwork and chores in the group practice. Shijie's life experience is so uncontrollable, I am afraid that it is difficult to see the officialdom now. Alas!"

Li Dan is very sympathetic to this, and when he comes out to be an official, he will never appoint you as a rebellious relative, but he refuses to be rebellious, so he either buries the countryside without saying a word, or finds a place where he can work for himself.

"Okay, it just so happens that I also need literate people here, so you will first register your name under Mr. Zhu's affairs department, and be a secretary by my side, how about it?"

Yang Shijie bowed to his subordinates, bowed down and said, "Listen to the arrangement of the adults!" Li Dan discussed with Zhu Qing and decided to temporarily appoint him in charge of the transportation, warehousing and allocation of materials for the construction of the Jinjiang Bridge, and docked with Zhu Erye.

It was very late, and Li Dan was very hot and a little hungry. He put down his pen and looked at the napping Mao Tsai brother not wanting to wake him up, so he walked out the door softly and came to the kitchen, where he found an egg, a small handful of vermicelli, and half a piece of tofu that had been thrown into the bowl.

Thinking of the shallots in the vegetable furrow next to him, Li Dan came out and plucked two green onions, but when he turned around, he saw that there was still a faint light in the small firewood room. "Oh, that child of the Hu family, is he still waiting for me?"

Thinking that his words would make people wait until this time, Li Dan felt very embarrassed. He put down the things in his hand and knocked lightly on the door: "I'm Li Dan, can I come in?"

It seemed to be busy inside for a while, and then Hu Jusheng opened the door in a panic and said deeply: "When the adults visited, Jusheng never came out to greet him, guilty, guilty!"

"What's wrong with you, panicking like this?" Li Dan glanced at him, bowed slightly and walked into this somewhat low, stuffy small room.

He was stunned, only to see that there was only a bed and a table in the room, and then there was a wooden frame, full of silkworm cocoons, and next to it was ...... Li Dan walked over and saw silkworms at different growth stages.

"...... you?" Li Dan looked back at Hu Jusheng.

"I...... Grass Folk ...... The students ...... to see how silkworms turn into silk and how long it took to do so." Hu Jusheng looked at him uneasily: "Will the adults think that the students are ...... A little out of business?" Look at the book

"You didn't leave for them, did you?"

Hu Jusheng looked down at his hut and nodded, "They haven't gone up the mountain yet, and some of them haven't even hatched yet. If I had gone, they would all have died."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Li Dan: "Will adults call me stupid? Or should I take care of my husband with my brother?"

Li Dan crossed his waist to look at these silkworm babies, and then looked at Hu Jusheng. After a while he asked, "You want to know this, so what do you know about the future?"

"I don't know about this ......, I just want to know this."

After looking at the child's eyes for a while, Li Dan smiled: "Okay, then what have you learned from this, or what do you know, can you tell me?"

Hu Jusheng walked to the shelf and took out a roll of paper and handed it to Li Dan: "Well, this is the third time I hatched, and now they have made cocoons. The first two times were failures, and ninety percent of them could not hatch.

I recorded my successes and failures, and I wanted to find out the tricks, and I wanted to know how to make silkworms spit out more and better silk ......."

Li Dan listened and looked through his records, looking at the images of silkworms in different periods that he had drawn with immature techniques, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. "Ah Sheng, do you know that there were almost no men before you who did these things?"

He looked at Hu Jusheng and lowered his head, and then said, "But you dare to do something that no one else has done, it's amazing!"

He put the manuscript down, caught a glimpse of the unfinished bun in the corner of the table, thought for a moment and said you wait, and ran back to the kitchen. Hu Jusheng came over and was startled when he saw that he was going to light a fire on the stove, so he hurriedly rushed over to do it.

Li Dan poured some water into the pot, and when the vermicelli was cooked, the shallots had been washed out and cut into chopped green onions, and after the vermicelli and tofu were cooked, the eggs were beaten in a bowl, and the soup was stirred into egg drops.

Then he called out the fire, took two large bowls and put salt, sesame oil and chopped green onions, poured the egg flower soup in it and divided it into two bowls of egg flower vermicelli soup, and then found two pairs of chopsticks, signaled Hu Jusheng to take a bowl, and brought a bowl back to the hut, and the two sat on the edge of the bed to eat and drink.

Hu Jusheng ate slowly, and his mouth slurred and called "really fragrant", while saying, "I didn't expect adults to have such hands!"

"I also learned, watching the cooks at home make it and slowly doing it myself, so I figured out how to match things and how to make them delicious." Li Dan said:

"Your personal observation is also a kind of learning, the so-called 'learning from things!'" However, Gewu is by no means utopian, and you must practice it to know how big a gap there is between thinking and doing.

By mending this gap, we will be able to observe, understand, and understand more carefully, and be closer to the facts." After he drank the soup, he felt much more comfortable.

Putting down the bowl and taking the manuscript again, he opened the page after the silkworm molted, pointed to the image of the silkworm with its head raised on the picture, and said to himself

Draw one and let Hu Jusheng compare.

After speaking, he took out a charcoal pen, found a piece of paper in a clip, drew a silkworm on it three or five times, added texture and silhouette to it, and handed it to the stunned Hu Jusheng.

"There is a method of drawing, and if you master the method, you will be able to draw realistic results, and the more realistic the drawing, the more profound your understanding of it. In the same way, you can use it to draw people, landscapes, flowers and birds, fruits and vegetables, buildings, and so on.

And it all stems from what you're doing right now – observing. So, the beginning of all knowledge is meticulous observation.

The process of organizing and analyzing what we observe in the right way, removing mistakes, and deepening our understanding is the process of repetition." Li Dan gave a thumbs up: "You are willing to work hard to observe, this is extremely rare!"

"What is lacking in this world is not impetuousness, but steadfastness, down-to-earthness, and the spirit of seeking truth. I am very touched by the fact that you can do it or come close to doing it.

Then Li Dan told him about his understanding of silkworm raising, as well as the impact of mulberry leaf quality and living environment on silkworm health, and told him about the use of illustration and counter-evidence.

Finally, he said, "So silkworms grow in four stages, and they have higher requirements for temperature and humidity. Your first two hatches must have been in the middle of summer, right? At that time, if the temperature is too high, the hatching success rate of young silkworms will be greatly reduced.

So, what's the use of knowing these? It is very useful, because it is easier for you to get started with your experience, and you may also find better ways to breed and breed, reduce failures, and know how to deal with epidemics.

They can even add their own experience to more people, isn't that a good thing for the benefit of all?"
