343 How to make money
Coming out of the guardhouse city, the group came to the school field east of the guardhouse to watch the drill of the Left Guard.
As the leader of the second squadron, Niu Er has the supreme command of this left-behind army.
Jia Baoyu took away 1,000 people, and there were 1,000 people left behind in the Left Guard, but more than 1,000 people were refugees who had just been recruited for a few days, so all of them stayed in the Left Guard Station to continue training.
Niu Er blew the swan whistle, and the soldiers who were originally training their personal skills quickly gathered.
I saw more than 1,000 people, divided into ten teams, each with 100 people, and one team divided into two squads, these people carried wooden knives, sticks without spear heads, and firecrackers made of wood.
Chen Xinjia couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw that these soldiers were full of momentum and spirit!
Chen Xinjia, as the right attendant of the military department, usually went to the three major battalions in the capital to inspect.
Although the officers and men of the three battalions are tall and large, they are all good looks, strong on the outside and capable in the middle.
But the unit in front of him gave him a very different feeling, these soldiers had resolute eyes, and their faces were tanned by the daily training, shining with a healthy glow.
By the time the team was all assembled, everyone was standing still.
Puff - puff - puff -
Everyone's footsteps are stepping on one point, and the entire school yard is dusty and imposing!
Niu Er blew the swan whistle again, "Stand!" ”
One of the leading officers shouted: "All stand upright! ”
More than 1,000 people stopped walking at the same time, and the entire school field was immediately silent, dead silent.
Except for the rustle of the sandy dust blown by the wind, there was not a single sound to be heard.
Boom –
Li Xinjian on the review stand swallowed his saliva, obviously eating.
Niu Er ran to the review table in small steps and shouted loudly: "Report to Lord Chen, the whole team has been assembled, the first battalion of the Left Guard Station should have 1,0010 people, but it has actually reached 1,000 people, including 9 people on duty, please Lord Chen review!" ”
Chen Xinjia coughed dryly, cleared his throat and said, "Niu Zongqi, let's follow the content of your usual training." ”
Niu Er's right arm was crossed across his chest and said, "Yes!" ”
Niu Er turned around on the spot and blew the swan whistle: "Everyone is in position, practice walking in unison!" ”
The rest of the content is the same as the military training of college students, all the soldiers line up in a phalanx and walk in front of the review stand in turn.
Chen Xinjia feels very fresh about this kind of military parade, especially when a phalanx comes to the review stand, the cross arms of the brush are on the chest, and the neat and uniform movements are very pleasing to the eye.
Even Feng Yuanyang, who didn't know soldiers, couldn't help but admire: "If all the soldiers in the world are like this, why worry about the injustice of the slaves, why worry about the injustices of the Liukou!" ”
Chen Xinjia's eyes were bright, and after the drill, he called Niu Er over, and asked in a cordial tone: "Niu Er, let me ask you a few questions, you have to answer me honestly, and you are not allowed to hide anything." ”
Niu Er was flattered and patted his chest to promise not to lie.
Chen Xinjia asked, "How did Jia Zhongan train such a strong soldier?" ”
He felt that if he could find out the secret of Jia Baoyu's military training and present it to Emperor Longqian after he returned, he would definitely be rewarded, and if he could spread it, he might not be able to enter the cabinet with this merit.
At this moment, the vulgar Niu Er also became much more cute and pleasing to the eye in Chen Xinjia's eyes.
Niu Er's eyes darkened.
This is a very difficult question, Niu Er scratched his head and said: "My lord, I don't know, anyway, every day when we open our eyes, we people have to go out for training, two hours in the morning and one hour in the afternoon, after training, take a cold shower, and then tidy up housekeeping."
After sorting out the housekeeping, the team leaders of each team should also make comments based on the content of today's training. ”
"And then?" Chen Xinjia listened to it with relish, and ordered the subordinates he brought to write down what Niu Er said.
"It's gone."
"Gone?" Chen Xinjia gave him a violent shudder: "Why is it gone, I asked you how to train such a strong soldier, and you sent the official away in a few words?" ”
Niu Er covered the place where he was beaten and said aggrievedly: "It's really gone, the little ones are trained like this." ”
Cao Youyi heard the doorway, and hurriedly came to Chen Xinjia's side and said: "Lord Chen, according to the method Niu Er said, this soldier needs to practice every day and completely detach from production.
However, if you train the army in this way, you need to spend a lot of money and food, and this is completely the method of training the family, no, even stricter than the training of the family.
My own family members don't dare to say that they practice every day, and if they can practice every five days, they can already be called elite. ”
Chen Xinjia also came back to his senses.
Although Niu Er said it is relatively simple, in practice, it is not simple at all.
More than 1,000 people, not engaged in production, practice all day long, just the rice grain consumed, 10 stone of grain a day.
Food alone is not enough, there must also be meat, otherwise the soldiers simply cannot afford such a large exercise consumption.
Chen Xinjia seemed to sense something, grabbed Niu Er's arm and asked, "These soldiers, what do they eat every day?" ”
Niu Er replied humbly: "Of course it's dinner." ”
"Nonsense, doesn't this official know that people want to eat?"
Chen Xinjia almost didn't give Niu Er the anger to death.
Cao Youyi asked angrily: "My lord is asking, what do you have in the meal every day?" ”
Niu Er smiled and said, "That's good, rice, white flour buns, multigrain porridge, and big fat pork slices." ”
Hearing that you can eat big fat pork slices, Cao Youyi asked, "Where do you get the money when you eat these things?" ”
Niu Er touched the back of his head and said: "I don't know about this, the little one only trains the soldiers, since Jia Qianhu came, our life is getting better and better day by day, not only has no one starved to death again, but there is still money to buy meat to eat." ”
Chen Xinjia and Cao Youyi glanced at each other, and they both saw the incredible in each other's eyes.
This Jia Zhong'an shouldn't be using the family's money to raise these soldiers, otherwise how can you explain that the soldiers here eat meat, rice, and white flour buns every day?
It's no wonder that Niu Er can't say one, two, three, because Jia Baoyu has clearly separated logistics from the army.
The army is only in charge of training and fighting.
The matter of making money and food is all left to logistics.
Not to mention that he has the cash cow of liquor, the pencil factory built in Tianjin alone has brought Jia Baoyu a lot of income.
The underwear business is also booming.
The major Qinglou can't put down Jia Baoyu's new underwear and buy a large number of them.
Jia Baoyu's underwear has now become the second largest industry after liquor, surpassing the bookstore in one fell swoop.
You can't read this book, but you can't wear clothes.
Especially the women of Da Zhou, who have tried new underwear, bluntly say that they can no longer do without these exquisite and comfortable underwear.
Then took up the convenience of Tianjin, Jia Baoyu also opened an underwear store in Tianjin, and the name of the store was hung up, and it was called "CHANEL2 store". ”
