So, in other places.
Regarding that the newly promoted "virtual monk" actually assisted the "Chai Haier" in the town clothes and housed the Ganlu camp, after the overwhelming majority of Hu Niezi, a series of repercussions and rumors arose.
At a party.
"This monk Xu must have lost his head..."
A rebel veteran who was covered in scars but wore silk ribbons, filled with a beard-filled wine channel:
"Since ancient times, the selection of soldiers has always been the first to use the children of their own family to be at ease... The other selections are mostly miscellaneous..."
"Why is it in his hands, but he has come here, the more assorted he likes, the better..."
"It's Hu Niezi again, Gui Guanbing, Chaoyang child, and Longchuan mountain citizen. I heard that there are Yuhu Mizuo and the like, plus the original angry veteran... so many. What the hell is doing,"
"If things really come to the fore, how can you use your life and your life if the hearts of people are not tidy... Is it possible to achieve, but you don't know how expensive the essence is..."
"Don't be sure that people just like this tune and want to train a good soldier from it... Ah"
"You have to be considerate of other people. The monks return to the vulgar to join the army. There are no clan relatives and friends who are so pitiful and pitiful. No wonder you have to think about some random methods..."
Of course, the person who said this was making fun of the female performer without any sympathetic expression at all.
"The rest thought that he was in a hurry to go to the doctor... Seeing that the army is about to march to the north... There is really no one at hand to use, so that the minds of those wicked people will be moved..."
"Let's take a look at the monk's joke... Didn't it all say that he can train soldiers..."
. . . . . .
Compared with the murmur of these sediments, there is good news for Zhou Huaian in recent days; that is, Liu Xun, the author of "Ling Biao Lu Yi" and former Guangzhou Sima, has been found by sorting out the household registration books of Guangzhou over the years. , It is said that the small pendant was discovered during the process of sorting out household registration documents;
This also made Zhou Huai'an a little bit relieved, after all, from the useless living pillow that only eats, it has slightly evolved into a more useful gadget. So now, under the guarantee of the lives of more than a dozen members of his family, he took a few disciples to another workshop opened in Xunzhou.
Just before leaving, the small pendant seemed to be very worrying. The Baba’s Lai was by his side and repeatedly confirmed to Zhou Huaian that he would not deliberately torture or mutilate these old people who had done things for the court or the government. , But they are going to be useful to their director.
He was one of the few agricultural experts who went there in the same group, and there were hundreds of professionals of all kinds who were also found through the cleaning of household registration to serve as the teaching force of the workshop; and according to Zhou Huai'an in the name of the rebel army. Announcement issued:
Except for the children selected from the rebel army, all local people who can understand the text can apply to the training workshop and provide the corresponding basic board and lodging; one and a half to one year courses in financial accounting, industrialization, or agronomy can be achieved , Has the qualifications to serve as a low-level official; if the performance is outstanding, you can even consider breaking the rules for transfer.
Of course, in this feudal era where the small peasant economy is based, the promotion and promotion of agronomy is the most important and most necessary focus and key; under the rule of the rebels, one more increase in production means that more population can be fed. , Or provide better nutritional conditions and physical fitness on the basis of the existing population/force; or even have more surplus products and production materials, which can be invested in other aspects of construction; or through The liberated manpower is more efficiently transformed into resource output in mines and factories.
Therefore, in addition to Liu Xun, the author of "Ling Biao Lu Yi" who has carefully examined agricultural ecology, Zhou Huai'an actually wanted to find another contemporaneous person; that is, together with the contemporary great poet Pi Rixiu, he also called "Pi Lu", known as late. Mr. Lu Guimeng and Fu Li, who are both outstanding in the poetry circles of the Tang Dynasty; besides his status as a great poet, he is also an agronomist who is rare in time;
As an outlier among the scholars, one of his hobbies is agriculture, and he has accumulated many years of experience in agricultural production by mixing with the mud legs and personally participating in agricultural production. He has written a detailed guide on how to respond to different weather, species, and Regional differences, the creation and use of various agricultural tools for farming, and even the "Lei Lei Jing" related to farmland water conservancy management. The "Book of Pangsheng" and "The Ci of Niu Gong" handed down during the Western Han Dynasty are known as "Three Treasures of the Farmer".
The Quyuan Plow that only appeared in the Anshi Rebellion, as well as the relatively advanced farm tools such as climbing, grind, and luqi, were all promoted after he summarized them. In addition, there are "Betidization" (biological control of citrus pests), "Avian Storm" (the harm of mallards (wild ducks) and hawks (seagulls) to rice grains), "Remembering the Rice Rats" (controlling rodent pests in rice fields), and "Father of Nanjing Fisherman" "(Encourage fish farming in rice fields) and other handed down works.
Even a series of handed down works, including "Nongzheng Quanshu", have to be quoted and borrowed a lot from it. However, it is a pity that the original "Li Jing" has been lost due to the wars of the Song, Liao, Jin and Yuan Dynasties. In history. It's just that he is obviously still studying agronomy in his hometown in Changzhou, and Zhou Huaian is beyond his reach for the time being; otherwise, how come he has to find a way to contribute to the construction of the rebel army.
In addition, he has just received new news and requests from Chaozhou. It is said that after a short interval of a few days, the Fujian marine merchant Solomeng brought the boat over again in person.
The last time he brought news was that due to the large number of agricultural harvests in Fujian due to the fire, and the Fuzhou observation envoy Zheng Yi who was forced to go out to Jianzhou, with the support of Liang Zan from Wenzhou economic envoy, and the powerful faction who actually occupied Fuzhou, The continued confrontation between Huanglian Township General and Deputy Envoy Chen Yan of the Fuzhou regiment led to news of a severe famine in the local area.
Therefore, during this period, many refugees came from the Zhangzhou and Quanzhou areas adjacent to the Chaoshan coast. Most of them are farmers and fishermen who are unable to survive in the local area. It is said that the tax collection there is already so heavy that even going out to sea fishing has to be sneaky; and the boats, sampans, etc., are rowed directly along Haian. Thousands of people have continued to land on their own.
Therefore, according to Zhou Huai'an's instructions, the Stormrage Camp has organized local shelters and patrols on the coast to avoid any impact on the local fishery production and farming that has just resumed. In addition to the north-south trade, Solomon, on behalf of some maritime merchants in Fujian, continued to increase food purchases from the Pearl River valley where Canton is located through the Chaoshan area to prepare for famine;
In addition, he privately put forward a suggestion, asking if he would accept human trafficking as a discount and offset for goods; because there are so many displaced people in the area, they almost gnaw the countryside outside the cities of Zhang, Quan, Ding, etc. It has become a white ground; and the young and the strong are drawn to do cannon fodder and fill pits by the opposing sides; as a large conscientious marine merchant, he is willing to provide a chance for the remaining weak and old women and children.
So when I came here this time, I asked if I want to transfer some young women and children; because according to the local market, even an unmarried girl would only have to pay 300 to 500 yuan and marry someone. The women who are right are cheaper; as for the children, they can be used as one-to-one additions, and they can be delivered with them for free.
Compared with the goods that need to go to Mingzhou and Hongzhou for sale, the cycle and time are much shorter if you are traffickers directly from Fujian; you can travel around the same day and night; far away, it only takes two. The sky is a little bit more; because the inland people who can't survive have already rushed to the coast. And those old, weak, sick and disabled can't go far, they will die on the mountain road and be eliminated naturally.
For this week, Huai'an is of course happy to see the results, and on behalf of the general army and generals, they will give five full support and welcome.
Young women in ancient times were not hypocrites who were nurtured by Western feminism in the current peaceful environment. As long as you are full, you can go to work or work in factories as a ready-made labor candidate; although physical and endurance are slightly weaker than men, they are used in relatively trivial jobs in breeding, silk reeling, weaving and dyeing, and even medicine and hygiene. However, there is a delicate and persistent focus that men don’t have.
In addition, it can also be used to give birth to a population to make up for the population dispersion and loss caused by the war. It is also a potential incentive and hope for the vast majority of bachelors who have not been mixed up. It is better to draw them a big pie that seems within reach than to let people run to the place where they can't help themselves.
In addition, Qu Rong, a representative of the Annan Prefecture and a member of the local Hongzhou noble Qu family, also returned.
However, in addition to the task of escorting rice and high-quality timber for the official trade, more than 600 buffaloes and 8,600 old cowhides were transported across the sea from the local Hepu Port in the name of individuals and families. come. Among them, the cowhide is used to meet the needs of military production and sold for a price of 400 wen each; while the price of each buffalo is five pieces of coarse silk and four sections, which are allocated by Zhou Huai'an, and most of them are circulated. It was accepted.
The distribution of more than 300 high-quality bullocks to dozens of farms, workshops, and mining and metallurgical sites that have been established in the local area is also a significant supplement for animal power. The specific delivery price uses coarsely dried sea salt and bacon, pottery, silk cloth, and some stone honey to offset;
Finally, Zhou Huaian planned to take the time to submit a submission to the General's Mansion.
Now that there is a relatively stable supply of calories and a certain level of health, the recreational items in the military’s leisure time can be relatively enriched; of course, in addition to storytelling and watching white shows in Chaozhou today, the main emphasis is still Focus on fitness and sports;
Such as fighting swords (wooden weapons), corners (wrestling), horse racing, archery (arrows), jump (weightlifting), running, climbing, obstacle cross-country and other individual competitions, to collective confrontation polo, Cuju, Douqiu (unrestricted flying ball entry for full body protection) and many other choices in ancient and modern times.
Just because of the current limited conditions and the consideration of investment costs, the most common ones in Stormrage Camp are the less investment of swords (wooden weapons), angles (wrestling), arching (arrows) stacks, and leaps (weightlifting). ), races, and reduced short-distance load-bearing obstacles to climb several kinds; collective confrontation is ball fighting.
This time, it is rare that the rebels gathered around Canton, just in time for a large-scale athletic event in the form of a friendship, which can be regarded as a warm-up and warm-up preparation for the next Northern Expedition. (End of this chapter)
