There is a large wasteland on the west side of the mulberry garden, overgrown with weeds, here is set up as a camp, the tiger guard camp is stationed here, the original tiger guard of the Xicheng Iron Works after the change in Hangzhou, from the original more than 700 people, reduced to more than 500 people, many people died and disappeared, as a long-range strike force, the battle damage in the previous battles is still relatively low, many of the tiger guards are blacksmiths, brave in battle, obey orders, good psychological quality, but also expose a lot of problems, that is, poor tolerance, although obey orders, However, the organization and discipline are not high, especially the physical strength cannot keep up with the needs of fierce battles.

During this period of time, these problems must be solved, this army is the foundation of Xiao Ming's grand plan in the Song Dynasty, he is now paying more and more attention, so he personally supervised, he made an improvement to the marching drill provided by Yang Zhen, and added a lot of queue training content, which is an important means of cultivating soldiers' organizational discipline, and cannot be sloppy.

The original personnel of the Tiger Guard Battalion were the children of the families of some blacksmiths and craftsmen, and later added many farmers and idlers, the reason why they enthusiastically signed up was because of the generous treatment of the iron factory, each person per month two times, that is, two thousand yuan, Xiao Ming paid on time every month and never defaulted, even if the first few days of turmoil was also paid in full, but when the rebels besieged the city and attacked the iron factory, there were naturally families and businesses fighting desperately, but those single single-family households have already appeared only for money to sell their lives, worried that the silver can not be paid a few escaped.

For this, Xiao Ming's first step is to improve the treatment of the tiger guard, all the armor-piercing stomach and military spare equipment are all responsible for the iron factory, and the food must also ensure that there is meat at the meal, from the tiger guard's equipment to personal belongings, even the leggings and shoes are issued, and the monthly salary has also risen to five times a month, which is higher than the imperial forbidden army, and the annual salary of the first prefect is only four hundred, anyway, Xiao Ming is not bad for money.

However, the corresponding Tiger Guard Battalion has also formulated strict military discipline and carried out a system of survival of the fittest, and the battalion will punish all of the following, those who do not obey, those who fight privately, those who steal, those who slack off and do not work hard, and those who fail to complete the training task ......, and the punishment methods are: confinement, military sticks, starvation, fines, expulsion, etc., aren't you for money? I raise the salary high, the living are highly paid, and even the dead are also highly paid.

The tiger guards who died in the war and the disabled retired personnel, Xiao Ming gave them generous pensions, all the tiger guards who died in the war all made spirit cards, built the Tiger Guard Martyrs Hall, Xiao Ming personally presided over the memorial, so that the dead were extremely grieved, this is not counted, the Tiger Guard Battalion also has its own military merit system, meritorious service is not based on the number of enemies killed, but recommended by comrades-in-arms and commanders, once a year, whether in war or peace, to comment on military merits, all those who make military merits, there is a gold medal, the top is a hammer and saber cross sample mark, the bottom is a cloud dragon pattern, cast by the best craftsmen of the iron factory.

Xiao Ming from these measures is to slowly establish a sense of honor for this tiger guard, only a sense of honor can make soldiers have a sense of belonging and centripetal force, seeing that the rebels and the Song army have fled in the first few battles, Xiao Ming has learned a lot from it, there is no sense of belonging and centripetal force of the army, in order to save his life when he encounters setbacks, why not run away?

After a series of rectification and elimination, the number of personnel in the Tiger Guard Battalion has been sharply reduced to more than 300 people, but the remaining top ones are elite, whether it is physical fitness or personal skills, the retired Tiger Guard is not allowed to go home, but to bear the sundries in the camp, or to bring new Ding in the future, at present, everything in Xiuzhou is only for cultivation, and it will not expand.

Every day, when the rooster crows, the Tiger Guard Battalion immediately goes out to exercise, runs and marches with weights, runs ten laps along the barracks, and then eats breakfast, trains after meals, queues walking, turns back and forth, turns left and right, lies down and crawls, etc., takes a break for an hour after lunch, and then conducts bow and crossbow shooting training in the afternoon, and the training of saber fighting, the whole day is full, and the Tiger Guards go to bed exhausted at the end of the day, and it is like this every day, never stopping.

Occasionally, if you want to be lazy, you think of your generous salary and treatment, as well as the punishment of the Tiger Guard Battalion, and you have become honest, and soon the mental outlook of this team has a new look, it can be said that Xiao Ming was in the Northern Song Dynasty in the twelfth century, first established a purely professional army, although it was only 300 people.

During this time, Xiao Ming has been staying in the Tiger Guard Camp, studying and training the Tiger Guards with Luo Wen, Luo Wen's treatment has also improved, his family is in Qiantang County, and when he left, Xiao Ming specially arranged for the Tiger Guard to take his old mother to Xiuzhou, for which Luo Wen was grateful.

On this day, the two were in the camp, Gu Xiaoliu came to report, saying that the big shopkeeper of Richanglong was visiting, Xiao Ming hurriedly went out to greet him, the person who came was Su Caier, Xiao Ming recognized at a glance that she was not Shen Bottle, because Su Caier did not have that little red mole on her left cheek, he knew that Shen Bottler had to mask her face with black gauze every time she appeared as a stand-in, but Su Caier did not use it.

Su Caier, as the big shopkeeper of Richanglong, this private visit is very strange, Su Caier only brought a personal maid and two guards, this maid Xiao Ming has also seen, it is the last time Xiao Ming treated Su Caier, the "Qiao Niang" on the side.

"The big shopkeeper has something, he sent someone to call me, and now he bends down in person, Xiao doesn't dare to do it, I don't know what to do?" Xiao Mingfeng tea ceremony.

sighed lightly, Su Cai'er frowned slightly, but she didn't speak, Xiao Ming looked at her a little haggard, Richang Long's family has a big business, this turmoil, there is a shortage of manpower, and Su Caier has to make decisions about everything, and this time is enough for her to be tired.

Xiao Ming felt slightly distressed in his heart, so he asked, "Miss's body is okay?" Are you uncomfortable with your old illness, and have you asked a doctor to treat you again? “

Su Cai'er smiled and said: "Doctor An Shen has already checked my pulse for me, what he said about my old illness is cured, and it is still your credit, and the slave family doesn't know when I will be able to repay Mr."

Xiao Ming was silent, the ancient woman said that she wanted to repay you, and nine times out of ten she would promise each other, Xiao Ming felt a little awkward in her heart, Su Cai'er's figure and appearance would always coincide with Shen Bei'er, but in Xiao Ming's heart, Shen Bei'er was heavier.

"Daddy has been studying the coiled tooth power of the loom these days, almost forgetting to sleep and eat, but it is quite difficult, but the doctor reminds me, but I can find Mr. to help, I don't want Daddy to work too hard, so I came in person, I don't know if you are free, can you take the time to go there?" Su Caier felt that the tone used was not good, and added another sentence, "Anytime can be done."

"Miss is polite, can I go over now?" Xiao Ming said.

Su Cai'er was naturally very happy, "That's great, thank you!" ”

………

On the carriage that Su Cai'er was riding, Xiao Ming sat opposite her, Richanglong's carriage was basically the kind of house-like, a luxury car with crank shock absorption, the escort Gu Xiaoliu stood on the outside of the carriage, the carriage was basically at the top of the carriage, the carriage was huge and comfortable, and Qiao Niang sat in a corner obediently.

Su Cai'er was quietly leaning on the cushion, with a faint smile on her face, Xiao Ming was a little dazed, in order to break the embarrassment, so she had nothing to say.

"Is the bottle girl alright?"

Su Cai'er's face was blank, and she suddenly pouted and said, "I killed you!" My cousin doesn't think about tea and dinner now, and it's you who talks to me every day."

"This ......!" Xiao Ming was a little embarrassed, touched the back of his head, and didn't know what to say.

"Let's go see her, after all, after all, okay?" Su Cai'er tilted her head and asked.

"Hmm!" Xiao Ming nodded, he was very worried about this woman who looked the same as Su Cai'er and was a little naughty, but there were really too many things recently, and he was a little too busy.

The carriage was galloping, I don't know how far it went, Xiao Ming suddenly became alert, looked at the scenery on both sides, and suddenly said, "Where is this going?" Isn't this going back to the city? ”

Su Cai'er complained: "Don't ask, you'll know when you arrive, are you still afraid that I will kidnap you?" ”

This girl obviously knew the destination, so naturally she deliberately arranged it, Xiao Ming laughed and said: "There, there, Miss kidnaps me naturally can't ask for it, hehe" This tone seemed frivolous, but Su Caier didn't blame him at all, just glanced at him.

The carriage didn't stop until it reached the edge of Nanhu, the two got out of the car, Su Caier pointed to Nanhu and said, "Can you walk with me?" ”

Xiao Ming nodded, so the two of them walked along the lake, the South Lake in winter is still beautiful, Jiaxing South Lake is a famous tourist attraction in the Tang Dynasty, in Jiaxing and the southwest lake and called "Mandarin Duck Lake", the fishing boats in the lake are parallel to the cruise ship, the remnants of the winter lotus lie on the sparkling lake, the rare sun is brilliant, the golden light is projected on the lake, the glow is ten thousand ways, the beautiful scenery is incomprehensible.

Su Cai'er was almost obsessed with it, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a while, and muttered in her mouth: "It's so beautiful!" ”

"Can you take a boat ride with me?" Su Cai'er said softly.

Xiao Ming couldn't bear to refuse, so he beckoned the boat owner to come over, and got on a painting boat from a small pier, this kind of boat is specially for visitors to enjoy the South Lake, there is a stove in the cabin, the lining is forged, the windows are very thin shell inlays, sitting on the boat to watch the scenery of the South Lake has a special interest, but now it is winter, the tourists are a little scarce, the boat boss has to rely on fishing on weekdays to make a living, at this time quickly jump from his own fishing boat, the stove is lit.

The boss of the boat was rocking behind the boat, Xiao Ming and Su Caier were watching the scenery in the cabin, Qiao Niang opened the wooden box that had been holding in her arms, the same thing, took out four side dishes, and a small bottle of wine, and put them on the table, Xiao Ming was stunned, it turned out that Su Caier had already prepared these things, and everything was in this girl's calculations.

Xiao Ming shook his head and smiled bitterly, he didn't break it, he just accompanied her to drink and watch the lake, in fact, the real scenery of Nanhu Lake can only be enjoyed on the shore, but there is no meaning in the lake, if it is in summer, you can also catch some fish and shrimp in the lake by yourself, let the boatman cook, and it is comfortable to drink and eat fish, but now it is winter.

Xiao Ming said: "You said that this South Lake is more beautiful than the West Lake in Hangzhou?" ”

Su Caier said: "Of course it's the West Lake, the West Lake is also beautiful in winter, the broken bridge is still snowy, the lake is turquoise, Daddy built me a cruise ship with a warm cabin, and we played together last year...... " Suddenly I thought about something, bowed my head and said: "Daddy asked me to invite you to Fuzhong, but I took you to visit Nanhu, you won't blame me, right?" ”

Xiao Ming smiled: "Of course it's not strange, if there is such a good thing in the future, don't forget me?" But Master Su is in a hurry to wait, why don't we go back first, and I'll play with you in a few days? ”

Su Cai'er nodded, "Well, it's up to you, let's play next time.........

The two of them commanded the boat to dock, Xiao Ming paid for the boat, and the two boarded Richanglong's carriage and headed for the city......
