"Let's go, let's talk while we go!"

Zhao Ming clapped his hands, he didn't come back for a long time, although he knew a lot about the letter, but it was still not as convenient as the real inquiry.

The team moved forward again, but this time at a much slower pace than before.

The first thing I learned was that the production capacity of Chabei United Mining has risen from hundreds of tons per day at the beginning to more than 1,000 tons per day today.

This is already a very terrifying number for a very backward grassland with a lot of manpower.

After deducting costs and many expenses, plus this year's benefits are very good, the daily net income alone is about 1,000 oceans, which is not much, but it is already very good.

There are more than 3.6 million oceans in a year, which is still nothing to Zhao Ming now.

But it can also be regarded as an important profit point, and the key is to stabilize the situation in Chahar.

With such a mine now, almost half of the herdsmen of Chahar are busy trading here, and once people have something to do, they will not think about it or even cause trouble.

In addition, the current military engineering construction has almost been completed, and the original plan has been fully implemented.

Several military pillboxes, the basic city wall has wrapped Huo Zhongtun in its entirety, and even the second company area downstream of Huo Zhongtun has also built a luxuriant market town.

At present, there are as many as 300,000 permanent residents in Chabei alone, most of whom are herdsmen from the grasslands.

Many of them are engaged in mine-related industries that provide a role in mining transportation.

There are more people, and the trade here is becoming more and more frequent, and many merchants from the south will come here to visit.

In addition, it is animal husbandry, thanks to Zhao Ming's integration of herdsmen in Chazhong and Chabei.

Almost half of the herders have been freed from grazing, and only a few are engaged in grazing, which has no effect at all.

This has the effect of planning livestock areas in it.

In the past, grazing would cause some small conflicts between various tribes, similar to the southern clans grabbing water resources.

This is no longer the case, and everyone is grazing in different areas under the guidance of the Chabei Joint Sector.

Planning is also increased in line with the increase in the number of livestock in each area of responsibility, which avoids the problem of uneven distribution.

At the same time, a large number of people are engaged in labor, and naturally, the living areas of the population have been liberated, and now they can be used as pastoral areas.

In just one year, the size of the livestock has increased several times. From the original tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, it has suddenly expanded to 200,000 today.

This costs a lot of money to purchase cattle and sheep breeding, otherwise the expansion speed would not be so fast.

This also allowed the soldiers to replenish their meat on a regular basis.

Although Zhao Ming hadn't seen his army yet, he had already learned through the monkey group how good everyone was eating now.

Other places are still gnawing on the nest head, such as the people in Guanzhong can only eat grass roots and bark, but they are good here, and they can eat beef and mutton at once.

Milk, goat's milk, and mare's milk have never been lacking.

Secondly, the expansion of the horse herd is also the most important, but the reproduction of horses is relatively slow, and it only expands to 40,000 horses in a year.

It's not much, but it's actually enough.

Forty thousand, without taking into account the situation used for logistical transportation, was enough to arm two cavalry divisions.

Considering that the logistical transportation needs to be carried by horses, these horses are only enough to arm a cavalry division.

Moreover, Zhao Ming's cavalry division can also be equipped with horses, and one person has two horses, which can be called luxurious.

This kind of configuration, placed in the Central Plains, will cause countless people to blush.

Moreover, many cavalry divisions, not to mention the full allocation of 12,000, it would be good to reach 6,000 people.

Rao is like this, 6,000 people must at least ensure that there are more than 10,000 war horses, so that they can be regarded as a mobile cavalry division.

Otherwise, there are still not enough war horses, and you must know that in addition to one person and two horses, you also need to carry some supplies.

When inquiring about the situation of the army, before the monkey could respond, Zhao Ming saw the cavalry of the brigade roaring past in the distance, and someone seemed to have discovered Zhao Ming's group of people, and hurriedly reported to the chief officer of the team.

After a while, this cavalry, numbering two hundred people, slowly rushed towards Zhao Ming's side.

"Captain Hou!"

When the chief officer saw the monkey, he hurriedly stopped, and at the same time gave a respectful military salute to the monkey on horseback.

"Bastard thing, who told you to call the regimental leader? Lao Tzu is the battalion commander! Does the battalion commander know? ”

The monkey opened his mouth and scolded, but he just turned his head and glanced at Zhao Ming secretly, and found that the other party was looking at him playfully.

"Master Zhao, misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! ”

"That's right, our Hou Ye has started to be the head of the regiment? How did I not know? Zhao Ming said with a smile.

Hearing this, cold sweat suddenly oozed from the monkey's forehead.

Bad!

As the army continues to expand, although their previous officers are only at the level of battalion commanders.

But everyone knows that the number of people under their jurisdiction has long exceeded the level of the battalion commander, and they all went to the regiment commander.

Naturally, the people below also changed their names, and the monkey refuted a few words at first, but it was called like this for a long time, not to mention that it was very cool.

It's just how cool it was before, and how sad it is now.

"Huh! Monkey, yes, without my appointment, without the appointment of your superiors, you still dare to promote yourself yourself? That's amazing! ”

"Zhao Ye! I... I ....."

"Okay, don't talk about it, you'll look good when you go back."

Zhao Ming snorted coldly in his mouth, and immediately looked at the young soldier opposite.

The other party also noticed the conversation between the head of his own regiment and the young man in front of him, and when he heard Zhao Ye's title, he immediately made a standard military salute with his waist straight.

"I've seen the sir!"

"Okay, there's nothing for you here, let's get busy."

Zhao Ming waved his hand, these young people were all fresh faces, but they could see that they should have been herdsmen on the grassland before.

I think it's a new herdsman brother who has recently joined the army.

"Yes, these brothers are quite energetic, and all of them are ruddy and strong, and it seems that you are not short of brothers to eat and drink." Zhao Ming said lightly.

"Oops! Yes, it's all Zhao Ye, you ordered, we naturally have to take care of it. ”

The monkey was already sweating profusely at this time, and the good guy Zhao Ye was caught with a sore foot as soon as he came back, so he wouldn't arrange the ribs again, right?

"Don't be nervous, monkey, you're also married, why haven't you grown up? Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. ”

Zhao Ming patted the monkey's shoulder, making the other party tremble in fright.

He looked at the hand on his shoulder without tears, and now there are rumors in the army.

I'd rather the king of Hades stroke his head, and don't want Zhao Ye to pat his shoulder.

Zhao Ye patted his shoulder on behalf of the value, two times is a flicker, three times, you had better beg the king of Hades to accept you.
