Chapter 25 Change (Part 2)

After doing the ritual for three days and carrying the leftover bags, Zhou Huaian stepped back to the side of Zhou Huaian after returning to the city, and two strange faces were added. However, it was the monk he kidnapped and taken away with his three-foot tongue within these three days.

One of them was the underage little novice monk. It is said that because he was a little thicker than his peers, he was sent to the monk as an adult to make up for his counting. His name was Yuanjing. Because he was very young, he was left in the temple by his parents who could not support him. He did the most difficult and cheapest work, even if he grew up a little, he was still the lowest member of the temple. So after listening to Zhou Huaian's so-called experience in the world, he planned to return to the world to experience the taste of life in the world.

Of course, in Zhou Huaian's eyes, he is actually a good object of exploitation. Because he has done the miscellaneous work of copying scriptures and serving the canteen in the temple, he is still a rough text and can make simple calculations. He can use it to start and run around in the future, which can make himself a little easier.

The other is a complete surprise; the other party is a young monk from Baoning Temple in Dachanlin, Guangzhou. He is from a higher background than a little novice monk and has a better situation;

However, according to his frankness, the reason why he was sent to participate in this forced ritual was entirely the result of the exclusion and invasion of the fellow brothers of this large temple; because they were neither optimistic about the possibility of the visitor returning alive, nor the prospects of the rebels' development after occupying Guangzhou, but were worried that they would be involved in this and suspected of the rebels, which destroyed the monk's perfect practice of pure jade, so they simply used the black box operation to temporarily upgrade him, a bad guy, to change into a dark monk's robe and stuffed him.

This result made him very frustrated and disappointed. But to make things worse, before he came out, he learned another thing through his old friends; he said that the senior officials of the temple were able to clear away from him, a disciple who had served traitors in the future, and privately destroyed his monks' disc and list, forbidding many monks to talk about his name again; so he is no longer a homeless person in the empty sect;

Therefore, after the mage ended, he took the initiative to follow Zhou Huaian, a foreigner who seemed to be rebellious and disobedient; he learned the external teachings he brought back from India, and assisted Zhou Huaian in the process of sorts of aspiration to gradually sort out the words and deeds of the late teacher who had traveled thousands of miles and had been traveling in the foreign land for many years and had seen a lot of experiences.

Of course, according to his words, if this work can be written in the future, it will not be a great work such as "The Record of the Western Regions of the Great Tang Dynasty" by Xuanzang Sanzang when he was founding, or "The Record of the Buddha Kingdom" by Faxian, the world's first monk who seeks scriptures, and the "The Biography of the Great Tang Dynasty's Western Regions of the Great Tang Dynasty" by Yijing, a monk who spreads scriptures on the sea, and a treasure of the world's treasure of "The Biography of the Great Tang Dynasty's Western Regions of the Great Tang Dynasty" and "The Biography of the Inner Dharma in the South China Sea"; it will be a treasure that can be passed down from generation to generation; it will be enough to be a classic that later generations have left their names and sing for a while.

The greatest ability of this person who has been in the Translatorial Academy is that he has been able to fluently debate and read various texts and simple language dialogues, as well as experience in making and printing books by hand. Even in Guangzhou, the Wanguo Port, it is a good way to make a living and skill; and for Zhou Huaian, this is also a kind of natural cover and vest.

Since there is this carrot hanging on him, Zhou Huaian can use it as a summary of the experience in the knowledge system, throwing it out little by little as bait, and driving and squeezing his abilities and expertise for a long time.

However, when he returned to the location of the Rage Camp again, he was shocked by the excitement and noise. After only three days of walking, many new faces had appeared in the camp. They were almost filled with the initially modified camp, and the originally clean and tidy camp became messy and noisy again.

"Come here quickly"

In response to this, Wang Pan, who hurried out to greet the hermit, seemed to have a lot of bitterness.

"I finally hope you're back."

"Those accumulated miscellaneous things almost drove me crazy..."

"What's going on right now..."

Zhou Huaian couldn't help asking.

"It's so messy in this camp..."

"That's not what Old Deng has done..."

Wang Pan sighed with mixed feelings.

"He suggested that I offer the water purification house. It is called more soldiers of the rebel army to benefit one or two."

"As a result, it really caught the eyes of the military mansion."

Speaking of this, Wang Pan couldn't help but show a hint of joy and a faint embarrassment.

"Since then, I will not expand my ranks again."

"Therefore, these are the new soldiers picked up in the camp in the past two days..."

"I have to worry about your family carefully organizing and setting up the house..."

"Because Old Deng brought back two or three times the heads at once."

"As a result, there was not enough manpower for a while, so it became like this..."

"Now, many people still have to sleep on the white ground and continue to drink raw water and thin porridge to maintain it..."

"There are people who keep losing things for profit..."

"By the way, there is also a military mansion that will give you a reward..."

Speaking of this, he clapped his hands and pointed to the newly expanded corral road

"Now, I heard that you can eat in one bite and send you a few bites of pigs and sheep."

"There are also one stone of rice and flour and a few pieces of thick silk that are all placed in your house..."

"Okay, this is an unexpected surprise."

Zhou Huaian thought of this, and he had just got two people back and started to work hard, but he had not placed them any more than that, so there were steps to bring them up.

After a brief look at the newly added animals in the corral, he immediately stated on the spot that he would take out five of the pigs and hand them over to the public, which was a meal for everyone to celebrate with them. Only a thin lamb and an ewe were left. The lambs could be raised and eaten with meat, and the ewes was breastfeeding and could be used to provide limited milk for every day.

The stone rice flour and thick silk in the room were also treated, leaving only a small part and handing it over to the public center, which was a disguised discredit and criticism that might be potentially jealous.

After all, it is reasonable to take this credit and lose this in this era, but it is obvious that the other party did not do this. No matter what the motive is, Zhou Huaian has to follow this relationship. Then, it will be easier for the teacher to make corresponding requirements and suggestions in the future.

For example, the thick silk left alone can be used to sew several sets of clothes for full-body change. The dozen kilograms of brown rice and coarse noodles left can also be used to process them into portable rations during the journey.

With the return of Zhou Huaian, the sequelae and side effects of the sudden increase in military caps have gradually returned to calm and transformed into a larger-scale labor scene in the midst of turmoil and chaos.

Because there was not enough equipment and equipment to train them, Wang Pan simply had an idea and temporarily put most of these new soldiers under the deputy battalion management of Zhou Huaian, as a basic labor force for daily expansion projects and construction matters until the corresponding equipment and barracks and sites have been prepared and constructed.

For Zhou Huaian, with two basic communication skills, his busyness and workload have not increased much; despite this, he tried his best to exercise himself with simple equipment every day, do more private work, and then use a look of exhaustion to deal with the concern and inquiries of Wang Pan as the top executives.

But in life, although there is an unlimited amount of food supply every day, it can only be considered a simple and simple rice with a very small taste. The only privilege is to have tea and wine, and there is a little oil and meat in the food;

Tea is a big, bitter tea soup that is very bitter in the morning. The black leaves taste moldy. The wine is half a pot of light and turbid wine in the afternoon. The suspended substances and precipitated impurities inside are like sour porridge. As for the oil and meat served every day, most of them are black dried jelly and wax products that have been stored for a long time.

There is no limit to the daily miscellaneous rice and cakes. You can also cook some soup for rice with small stoves;

However, for Zhou Huaian, this standard food is barely enough in terms of calories, but the nutritional content is really unsatisfactory; therefore, he often has to rely on the cheap privilege of living in the fire kitchen to carry out limited secondary processing before he can finish the mouth. For example, beat a duck egg in the sour wine, grater the expired bacon that has been eaten and cooked into soup with the vegetable gang.

However, most people do not eat aquatic products, such as river food, which are not eaten. Under the treatment of the accompanying output of practice water and bathing, the daily supply is relatively sufficient. After simple carbon roasting and boiling, it can barely be used as a supplementary source of minerals such as protein and calcium.

Although it was so simple and shabby, it was enough to make most of the rebel soldiers envious and drool in all kinds of ways.

After all, according to the family status that Zhou Huaian had in the short term, the overall level of the Nufeng Camp was killed, which was the level and upper limit; as the peasant army, they had a much harder life before; only two meals a day or even one meal, or even one meal every now and then, the example of hunger or poor supply of whistle grains and digging grass roots is also a common thing in my memory;

Now it is still because most of the rebels have just captured this prosperous and prosperous Guangzhou City, and just in this country, it is enough to make the Nufeng Camp get a relatively abundant time. Therefore, whether it is the old and new rebels, or the first soldiers recruited in the local poverty, they are generally satisfied and cherished by the current situation.

Therefore, when Zhou Huaian had the ability to turn decay into magic in cooking, and could turn the rumor of being crude and unbearable to the "delicious delicacy" into "delicious delicacies" through the errands he had taken action in the fire kitchen; he had already had a few private small kitchens in the inner camp, and then came to spy on a souvenir to ask for food.

As the price of the continuous expansion of the group of food-free food and the spread of some simple recipes such as "bamboo rice", "tea porridge", "stone buns", and "baked food" is that the consumption of firewood, firewood, and charcoal under his management has increased dramatically, and the frequent records of various iron products in the camp have been reported to be lost and damaged one after another;

So many people ran out at night, which alarmed Deng Cun, the commander of the patrol patrol, thought something amazing happened, and the trumpet alarm made the storm and alarm so much that it almost broke up. Then, after dawn, Wang Pan, who rushed back hurriedly, found out that it could make the middle-level leaders in the camp gather secretly at night, and they were just to participate in the group supper and dinner in the kitchen where the deputy manager "monk" had a small meal.

Therefore, many people were admonished and punished for violating the camp rules, and even Zhou Huaian was no exception; but as his punishment and remedy, it was to re-establish a long-term night stove system dedicated to night duty soldiers and middle-level leaders and above, and provide hot soup and other supplements.

Then, he took the opportunity to collect iron products scattered in the camp. With the help of the newly recruited blacksmith, he knocked and polished them with a little bit of hands, and finally created several sets of large cast iron pots to meet the processing needs of at least dozens of servings at a time.

In this way, he can finally take the opportunity to use it for private use by public institutions, eat fried dishes that are short of oil and salt and some basic frying products from time to time, and even conduct deep-level ingredients for cooking and stewing.

Then, in order to solve the problem of sudden increase in fuel consumption, in addition to letting people go up the mountain nearby to cut more firewood, he also began to try to let his masons and brick makers pile kilns to burn more lightweight and durable wood carbon. He also redesigned a large-bottle blast stove with bamboo bone frames and yellow mud to make full use of the calorific value and firepower. So, for the first time, he had hot water that could be used to take a bath, instead of rinsing it with cold water and wiping it with hot water, and almost a thick layer of mud was rubbed on the water surface of the large pot.

In order to facilitate the transport of cut firewood back, a simple path leading to the mountain was opened on the side of the road, and the structure of the trolley was transformed to load and push more firewood on the mountain road, and then a firewood shed and a transfer yard were built; and even the people who could make irons in the camp improved and strengthened the existing knives and axes tools.

Then when burning charcoal in batches, a small amount of lime and mud bricks were burned; in order to collect more iron and create new tools, people were sent to nearby villages to "preparation" and purchase... It can be said that the atmosphere of development and solidification that had been stagnant in the original Nufeng Camp became active and lively again.

In this series of passive or active-guided changes, the skills and division of labor of his subordinates have been refined step by step, and Zhou Huaian, who is the link and leading role, has gradually pushed to a hidden indispensable position.
