Can you still do this?

Niu Er's simple brain calculated for a while, if this model is followed, then he, the squadron leader, can get six taels of silver more than ordinary soldiers every year!

Six taels of silver, you can almost buy half a cow!

The second-class officer Niu was immediately satisfied, while the other ordinary soldiers looked at them with envy on their faces.

Many people's intestines are about to repent, if you were bold just now, wouldn't you get 6 taels of silver for nothing every year?

Jia Baoyu continued: "I will give you the full amount of silver, but in the future, the seizures on the battlefield will be returned to the public, if someone hides private interests and is discovered, the officers will be dismissed on the spot, the ordinary soldiers will be expelled from the left guard, and the family and land will be recovered!" ”

Originally, the soldiers heard that the capture was due and complained, but when they heard it, those crooked thoughts immediately disappeared.

Unless you can hide a lot of gold and silver, it will be more than worth the loss.

It was already evening when Li Gui came back with the old people in the guardhouse, and they brought back ploughing cattle, farm tools, grain, and a large amount of pig iron.

The squadron leaders appointed by Jia Baoyu are training queues and marching in small teams.

Li Gui looked at these farmers who had just become soldiers, pestle there like statues, and was a little curious.

It's not that he hasn't seen those Qiu Ba in the three major camps of the capital, all of them are fierce and fierce, playing with big knives, dancing spears, and lifting stone locks, all like flyovers, although there is a suspicion of grandstanding, but it is really good-looking.

Where is it like now, one by one, like fools, standing dry and not talking.

When he was wondering, a soldier couldn't help but reach out and scratch the back of his neck, it turned out that he had been standing for too long, and sweat was flowing from his neck, itching unbearably.

There was a crisp sound, and I saw Hua An walking over with a stick, mercilessly, and shining on the back of the man's hand.

The soldier was beaten, and with a muffled grunt, a red mark visible on the back of his hand.

I only heard Hua An shouting: "Who made you move?" ”

"Report, no!"

"Today, your entire team will practice for an hour, and you are not allowed to eat dinner!" Hua An roared violently.

Toot-toot-toot-

When the whistle sounded, the squad leaders of the other teams immediately shouted slogans to let everyone gather, and after Lu Jianxing and Jin Yichuan briefly commented on today's training, they asked each squadron leader to bring their teams back.

Only Hua An's squad was left standing there.

Li Gui just stared at it blankly, and asked a few old military households around him, "Do you say that this practice is useful?" Did you go to the battlefield and just stand like this and let the enemy cut it? ”

An old soldier was amazed and said: "Steward Li, you don't know, the rarest thing in the army is the prohibition of orders, you see this group of people, they were recruited only the day before yesterday, and they are all chaotic, just a group of peasants."

But after a day of training, it can be guaranteed that no one speaks, and stands for that long, and if it goes to the battlefield, it can do the same, and then there is no team in the world that can compete with it. ”

Li Gui shook his head, he was just a long-term follower and didn't understand the Tao here.

He found Jia Baoyu and reported to him today's purchase: "Second master, I spent 150 taels of silver today to buy ten ploughing cattle, all of which are two or three years old, and I don't want them if they are too old." ”

"Why don't you buy more?" Jia Baoyu felt that the price was more reasonable.

Li Gui said: "It's too expensive! Tianjin is not a place to produce cattle, and there are not many fields, so the price of cattle will rise, if you go to Liaodong in the north and Xuanfu in the west, a good cow will be eight taels of silver, and the calf will be more than five taels. ”

Li Gui continued: "After we bought the ploughing oxen, we went to the blacksmith shop to buy plows, hoes, rakes and other farm tools, and spent another 150 taels.

In addition, the small one also bought 3,000 catties of pig iron according to your requirements, and spent more than 900 taels of silver, all of which are good Fujian iron.

There are also the most grains bought, the small ones bought 5,000 stone of wheat, 1,000 stone of millet grain, and a few sets of tables, chairs, furniture, pots and pans, ......"

There are all kinds of these things, and it cost Jia Baoyu almost 5,000 taels of silver.

Jia Baoyu was speechless for a long time, even if he had no concept of silver, he couldn't help but scold: "Profiteer!" I'll give you a lung! ”

This grain is enough to feed the people of the guard for more than three months, and if we continue to recruit displaced people, I am afraid that they will not be able to last even three months.

Because the appetite of these homeless people is so good, what to do is not good, and there is nothing left to eat.

The point is that it is still winter, and we have to wait until after the beginning of spring to grow food, and before that, we have to use silver to buy grain to eat.

Jia Baoyu has a lot of silver tickets, but they are used for military training, and military training is a bottomless pit, and no amount of silver is enough to spend.

Weapons and armor are only the most basic, as well as the soldiers' salaries and the consumption of military training.

Therefore, a good army is made of silver, and without sufficient food and wages, there will be no strong army.

Not to mention that Jia Baoyu is also preparing to train a firearms unit, as the so-called cannon sounds, ten thousand taels of gold, a firearm is not expensive, only 1 tael of silver, but this is shoddy.

If you want a high-quality firecracker, you have to pay three taels of silver.

The largest consumption is gunpowder and artillery, according to the calculation of gunpowder consumed by a thousand-strong army in a battle, a small-scale battle, the foundation will cost 1,000 taels of silver.

If it lasts for a few days, the consumption cannot be calculated.

Once the war machine is running, Jia Baoyu's little silver is not enough to stuff his teeth.

Moreover, these soldiers dragged their families with their families, the elderly, wives, and children in the family, and there were at least more than 2,000 burdens for the 1,000 regular soldiers.

These two thousand people are two thousand mouths waiting to be eaten.

Jia Baoyu scratched his head and said: "You have to open up the liquor market in Tianjin as soon as possible, otherwise the silver will be spent sooner or later, you go to Heitu Village, call Song Wenxian over, let's make wine and raise soldiers in Zuowei!" ”

That night, Jia Baoyu set up more than a dozen iron pots in the guard house to boil porridge.

In order to save firewood, manpower and material resources, he plans to build a large canteen, where everyone in the health center can come to eat.

But there are quantitative ones.

Women and the elderly have two meals a day, and there is only one bowl of porridge per meal.

The same is true for children.

Soldiers live separately from their families, and are given only two days off a month, the rest of the time for training, training, and retraining.

These soldiers were allowed to eat three meals a day, all of which were dry, and they were guaranteed to have one meat meal a day.

Time is pressing, the emperor will see results in a month, and Jia Baoyu can only use food to raise the health of these soldiers first.

With high-intensity training, the food must keep up, otherwise the human body will not be able to stand it at all.

For this reason, Jia Baoyu also asked the children of the guard to go to the mountains to catch hares, and after catching them, they were enclosed in cages and raised.

Rabbits can generally breed young rabbits at the age of six months, and the pregnancy period is about one month or so, theoretically speaking, female rabbits can continue to mate immediately after giving birth.

One adult healthy male rabbit can breed 810 female rabbits. Adult male rabbits can mate 6 times in 1 week and 1 time in 1 day.

Jia Baoyu remembers reading a news story in Hebei where a man picked up three rabbits and bred them to 100 in seven months.

Therefore, compared with large herbivorous livestock such as cattle, horses and sheep, raising rabbits is the most economical and has quick results.
