Shen Fei took a lot of effort to return to Linhe City, but this time those spies and the people in the whole city couldn't help but be dumbfounded, who would have thought that the Fengyuan family would come back so quickly in the snow?

And it is even more unimaginable that when he returned, not only did the number of troops directly double, but all the equipment actually became more sophisticated.

What's more, with so many wagons and ox carts and loads of supplies, what's going on?

Seeing that the Black Lotus Army returned to Linhe City, and after a period of noise, they completely settled down, and the spies all went back to rest with a sigh of relief, it seems that the Fengyuan family is not going to do anything in this winter. And the hard-pressed Donghai County spies could only brave the wind and snow again to rush out to catch up with the spies sent before. I have to rush back to report the news that the Fengyuan family has not started a war against Donghai County, otherwise if we make a big move in this winter, Donghai County will not have to survive next year!

As the days passed, the weather became colder and colder, and it would be very sad if it was someone else, but Shen Fei's mining village had a large amount of coal, and it was not easy to get a coal stove, as long as he paid attention to the problem of gas poisoning, there would be no trouble, not only could there be a fire source at room temperature, but he could also stew things at any time, as for the water source? There is so much snow outside, it is enough to cook for half a day when he comes back with a pot.

Moreover, the coal stove, because it is a simple thing with wooden hoops and mud inside, is a simple thing that is pasted with mud, so the generous Shen Fei directly gave it to the people of the territory. Of course, it is not difficult for Shen Fei, who has a blacksmith, to make the iron clips of briquettes, and the briquettes are sold cheaply, 2 pennies, which is still the price of door-to-door delivery.

As for those who go out to deliver briquettes in the snowstorm, how can they be busy in the wind and snow? You can drink it at any time. Then have a portable stove that you can keep warm with soup or burning coal. Finally, a cape, hat, wool boots, and gloves will definitely not make these people who go out in the snow cold and hungry.

Needless to say, as soon as this coal stove came out, the fire pond in the entire Fengyuan Ling's home became this thing, but naturally it would not be placed in the center of the home, on the edge of the window or door, after all, the smoke pipe does not need to be so long. Of course, rich cattle people. Naturally, the coal stove can be placed in the fire pit, and the smoke pipe can be directly poked out of the house.

Because Shen Fei was not happy to hide at home all winter, he came up with coal stoves and briquettes, which naturally made the people who didn't go out start to go out with convenient stoves to find something to do.

In fact, there is nothing to do in the winter, one is to deliver coal stoves and briquettes to the door, and the other is to build coal stoves, heaters, briquette clips, and make briquettes. But it's also an income, and it's better than staying at home all the time and not making any money, right? Shen Fei also sent the cloth from the inventory to the people, not to give it to them, but to let them make these cloths into samurai uniforms and flags and the like, of course. It is also indispensable to make zuò fur.

As for the mining villages, they can't mine, but they have stored minerals, so the blacksmiths can continue to craft weapons and armor.

Anyway, Shen Fei didn't let the people have nothing to do all winter, and the people were like this. This is especially true of the samurai commissioners, who are responsible for the situation of the entire territory, and which houses are destroyed by the snow. You have to lead someone to clean it up, where is the gas poisoning, you have to dispose of it.

And the logistics are not to mention, the affairs that Shen Fei ordered before are all related to the logistics mission.

As for the army of 2,000 people, I didn't say anything, I trained in the snow every day, and I was not afraid of sweating or getting dirty, let alone catching a cold or getting sick. Medicinal materials or something, Shen Fei has long purchased a large number of hoards, and with coal stoves and briquettes, he is afraid that there will be no hot water for bathing?

In Shen Fei's place, after breakfast, he cleared the snow for Linhe City, and then after lunch, he sweated for training, and Shen Fei didn't do anything about the queue, after all, the wind and snow are combined, and you don't want to kill people by standing still in the queue. This sweating is done until it is done, that is, drink ginger soup first, and then take a hot bath, the army has a super giant coal stove, and the hot water boiled directly into the pool, just like soaking in a hot spring.

That is, because there is no hot spring in Shen Fei's place, otherwise he would have dragged the troops to the vicinity of the hot spring for training.

After washing the clothes, you can smoke and dry them with the heat of the coal stove, so you don't have to worry about the clothes being difficult to dry.

After dinner, before it gets dark, we will carry out cultural education, and when it gets dark, we will go to bed, and so on day after day.

Although the consumption is huge, this consumption is nothing to Shen Fei, for Shen Fei, it is the best effect to let these soldiers not hoard meat in winter, let them maintain their training intensity at all times, and always maintain the standard of the army.

That is to say, Shen Fei's treatment, big fish and big meat are all-you-can-eat, hot water and ginger soup are available at any time, and these two thousand soldiers can still train with a certain degree of strength in this winter when everything is shrunk up and cats are winter.

Because Shen Fei's training has always been in Linhe City, and the people who live in Linhe City, except for the samurai and Ashigaru, are either the families of the samurai or those servants, and there will be no outsiders coming in at all, so for a whole winter, no outsider has found that Black Lotus Ashigaru has actually trained for a whole winter!

This is not surprising, first of all, it is impossible for spies to run into Linhe City for the time being, and according to the habits of this world, in the snowy winter, everyone is in winter, who can and run out! In these years, almost all the samurai forces have shrunk at home and are busy making people! Therefore, as long as the spies do not see an army out of the city, then they don't need to care, and they are also short of funds, so they have to reduce their activities to survive this winter!

Ashigaru is so hard-working in training, let alone a samurai with power.

I have to say this, didn't Shen Fei get a lot of cash from the mining village? Anyway, there is no place to use a lot of money in this winter, and this goods directly let all the warriors above five stones go to Fengyuan Shrine to learn power. Of course, in order to ensure the privilege of the class, the Zhixing warrior under ten stone can only learn one move, the warrior under fifty stone can only learn two moves, the one below 100 stone can only learn three moves, the one below 200 stone can learn four moves, and the one above 200 stone.

Even now, there are only about a dozen samurai with more than 100 koku, and the best Sado Uemon has not yet reached 200 koku. However, they were also full of joy, they were the first samurai with power before, and now they were the first samurai with four powers.

And Sado Uemon is the most proud of them all, because he definitely has a few more moves than everyone else! Because he had power when he was a whirlwind thief before! Powerful people naturally ensure that their strength is strong, and if they are strong, it is easier to establish meritorious deeds! Finally, it is more convenient to get more knowledge and deeds!

Because the speed of learning power is fast, and you don't need to learn it in the shrine, as long as there is a priest who can teach power. And the Gufang priest had already led the two goddess servants to Linhe City to live and express his loyalty when the snow fell. Therefore, without the knowledge of outsiders, Shen Fei, the nearly 100 warriors, all learned power.

Therefore, after the samurai led the ashigaru to train, they all began to become proficient in the power they had learned, and there were almost no people who would not cherish such a good opportunity to ascend to heaven in these years, so the samurai of the Toyohara Noh family definitely trained harder than Ashigaru!

Throughout the winter, the Fengyuan family worked hard to strengthen their strength without outsiders knowing. (To be continued......)
