Chapter 187 Tide 5
So, elsewhere.
The newly promoted "Xu Monk" actually helped "Chai Haier" to patrol and store the vast majority of Hu Niezi in the camp, and it also caused a series of reactions and rumors.
On a party occasion.
"This monk Xu must be confused..."
A veteran rebel who was covered in scars but wearing ribbon silk was filled with wine channels filled with beards:
"Since ancient times, we have always used our own soldiers to be at ease. No matter how many other soldiers choose, they are messy."
"Why did he get it over? The more you like to use it, the better..."
"He is also a nerd Hu, a slinger from Gui, a child from Chaoyang, and a mountain citizen of Longchuan. I heard that there are also Yuhu and Shuifu, and the original old master of the rage wind... I'm doing so many tricks,"
"If things really come to the point of being critical, how can people's hearts be uneven? How can they use their lives to contribute? Isn't it true that the essence is expensive or not?"
"I may not be sure that people just like this tune. I want to train an elite soldier from it...ah."
"You must also understand this. Monks return to the secular world and join the army. They are not as pitiful as their relatives and friends. No wonder they have to think of some tricks..."
Of course, the person who said this was holding a female slut and making fun of her, and there was no expression of sympathy at all.
"The rest of me think that he is in a hurry to seek medical treatment... and the army is about to fight north... there is no one available at hand, so I will get the thoughts of those evil men."
"Let's look at the monk's joke... don't everyone say he can train troops..."
......
Compared with the noises caused by these sediments, there is good news for Zhou Huaian recently; that is, Liu Xun, the author of "Lingbiao Luyi", who was once a Sima in Guangzhou, has been found by sorting out the household registration book of Guangzhou over the years, but it is said that the small pendant was found in the process of sorting out the household registration documents;
This also made Zhou Huaian a little relieved. Finally, he evolved from a useless pillow that only knows how to eat, to a little bit of useful tool. Therefore, with the guarantee of the lives of more than a dozen people in the family, this person took a few disciples to another lecture in Xunzhou.
But before leaving, the small pendant seemed to be very worried, and he kept beside him repeatedly confirming to Zhou Huaian that he would not deliberately torture or harm these old people who had done things for the court or the government, but would just let their directors give them useful things.
He went there with him, the few agricultural experts at that time, and there were hundreds of professionals of all kinds found by cleaning up household registration, which were used as faculty for the lecturer; and according to the announcement issued by Zhou Huaian in the name of the rebel army in the local name:
In addition to the children selected by the rebel army, any local person who can learn the text can apply to the school and provide corresponding basic food and accommodation; if the financial plan for one or six months to one year is completed, the courses of hundreds of labour or agricultural science are qualified to be a low-level minor official; if the outstanding performance is even considered to be an exception-of-standard official.
Of course, in this feudal era where small peasant economy is the most important and necessary key points and keys; if one more part of the rebel army can be increased under the rule of the rebel army, it means that more people can be raised, or better nutritional conditions and physical fitness can be provided based on the existing population/military source; and even more surplus products and means of production can be invested in other aspects of construction; or through the liberated manpower, it is more efficiently converted into mines and factory resources.
Therefore, in addition to carefully examining the agricultural ecology, Liu Xun, the author of "Lingbiao Luyi", Zhou Huaian actually wanted to find another person of the same era; that is, Lu Guimeng, who is known as the "Pi Lu" together with the great contemporary poet Pi Rixiu, is known as the two masters of poetry in the late Tang Dynasty; in addition to his identity as a master of poetry in the poetry world, he is also a rare agricultural master;
As an alien among scholars, his major interest is agronomy. He has accumulated many years of experience through the agricultural production labor he has mixed with the mud legs. He has created and used various agricultural tools to cultivate and even farmland water conservancy management. It is known as the "Lei Sutra" related to the "Book of Victory" and "Version of Niu Gong" passed down during the Western Han Dynasty. It is known as the "Three Treasures of Farmers".
The curved plows that appeared in the Anshi Rebellion, as well as relatively advanced farm tools such as climbing, sharpening and rolling flasks, were only promoted after he summarized them. In addition, there are works such as "Born Transformation" (biological control of citrus pests), "Boy Blast" (the harm of ducks (wild ducks) and squids (seagulls) to rice grains), "Records of Rice Rats" (preventing and controlling the harm of rice field mice), "Nanjing Fisherman" (encouraging fish farming in rice fields) and other works.
Even a series of works handed down from later generations, including the Complete Book of Agricultural Affairs, must be cited and learned from them; however, it is a pity that the original "Li Jing" was lost in history due to the war between the Song, Liao, Jin and Yuan dynasties. However, he is obviously still staying in his hometown in Changzhou to study agronomy, which is temporarily beyond the reach of Zhou Huaian; otherwise he would have to find a way to contribute to the construction of the rebel army.
In addition, he had just received new news and requests from Chaozhou. It was said that after just a few days, the Fujian maritime merchant Solomeng personally brought the boat over.
The news he brought last time was that due to the large number of agricultural crops in Fujian, Zheng Yi, who was forced to leave Jianzhou, was supported by Liang Zan, the governor of Wenzhou, and Chen Yan, who actually occupied Fuzhou, who was in power, Huanglian Town and deputy envoy of Fuzhou Troupe Training, caused news of a serious famine in the local area.
Therefore, during this period, many refugees came from Zhang and Quanzhou areas near the Chaoshan coast. Most of them were farmers and fishermen who could not survive. It is said that the tax collection there has reached the point where they have to sneak out of fishing. And through fishing boats, sampans and other things rowed directly along Hai'an, and there are currently thousands of people who have landed on their own one after another.
Therefore, according to Zhou Huaian's instructions, the Nufeng Camp has organized containment sites and patrols on the coast in the local area to avoid any impact and impact on the newly restored fishery production and farming in the local area. In addition to communicating goods between the north and the south, Solomeng represented some maritime merchants in Fujian and continued to increase the purchase of grain from the Pearl River Basin where the Guangzhou is located through the Chaoshan area to prepare for famine;
In addition, he made a private suggestion, asking whether he would like to accept trafficking of people as a discount and supplement for goods; because there are many displaced people in the area, almost nibbled the countryside outside the city of Zhang, Quan, Ding and other places into vain; among them, the young and strong were pulled to be cannon fodder and filled in the pit by the confrontational sides; as a somewhat conscientious maritime businessman, he was willing to provide an opportunity for the remaining elderly, weak, women and children.
So when I came here this time, I asked if I should transfer some young women and children to come; because according to the local market, even a young lady who is unmarried can only cost 300 to 500 yuan, while a woman who has married even more is cheaper; as for those children, they can be delivered as one-on-one bonuses and free of charge.
Compared with those goods that need to be sold to Mingzhou and Hongzhou, the cycle and time of trafficking directly from Fujian are much shorter; the nearest places can be traveled day and night; the far places only take a little more than two days; because those who cannot survive in the mainland have already run to the coast. And the elderly, weak, sick and disabled people cannot go far, and will die on the trek on the mountain road and be naturally eliminated.
Zhou Huaian is of course happy to see the success of this, and he also serves as a general to support and welcome the five soldiers on behalf of the vast number of soldiers.
In ancient times, young women were not pretentious people who were influenced by Western feminism in the current peaceful environment. They could work immediately or go to factories to work as long as they were full. Although their physical fitness and endurance were slightly weaker than men, they were in relatively trivial jobs for breeding, silk reeling, weaving, and even medicine and hygiene. There were other delicate and lasting concentrations that men did not have.
In addition, it can also be used to give birth to the population and fill in the population discreteness and losses caused by the war. It is also a potential motivation and hope for most bachelors who have not yet been mixed up. It is much better to draw a big cake that seems to be within reach than to make people unable to hold back and run to harm local people.
In addition, Qu Rong, the representative of the Annan Protectorate and a member of the local Hongzhou wealthy family, also returned again.
However, this time, in addition to escorting the task of serving as the top ten ships of rice and high-quality wood for official trade, more than 600 buffaloes and 8,600 old cowhides were transported from the local Hepu Port in the name of individuals and families. Among them, cowhides were used to meet the needs of military production and sold at a price of 400 cents per sheet; and each buffalo was priced at 500 pieces of thick silk for four sections, and by Zhou Huaian's distributor, most of them were accepted by Chaoxun.
More than 300 good bulls were allocated to dozens of military farms and workshops that had been established in the local area, and also a considerable amount of animal power supplement. The specific delivery price was filled with coarse sea salt, cured meat, pottery, silk cloth, and some stone honey;
Finally, Zhou Huaian planned to take time to submit a report to the General's Mansion.
Since there is a relatively stable calorie supply and a certain level of health, the entertainment activities that are idle in the army can be relatively rich; of course, in today's Chaozhou, in addition to storytelling and watching white operas, it mainly emphasizes fitness and competition;
For example, single-piece competition such as fighting swords (wooden weapon lattice strike), corner striking (wrestling), horse racing, shooting (arrow), cross-legging (weightlifting), racing, climbing, obstacle-crossing cross-country, and many other options in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad.
It is just because of the limited current conditions and investment costs, the most common thing in the Nufeng Camp is the fighting sword (wooden weapon lattice strike), corner junction (wrestling), shooting (arrow), clamping (weightlifting), racing, and a shrinking version of short-distance weight-bearing obstacles to climb several types; collective confrontation is fighting balls.
This time, the rebels gathered around Canton, and they were just ready to hold a friendship-style competition, which was also considered as a preparation for warming up the field and warming up for the next Northern Expedition.
