In the surrounding fields, there are green wheat seedlings everywhere, which have grown more than three inches tall, and in some corner fields, there are fresh green seedlings, obviously planted sweet potatoes.

The ridges in the field, according to Kong Minxing's planning, are planted with sweet potatoes on the corner land, and the newly reclaimed land is planted with a large number of sweet potatoes, and then beans, these are all crops that are fertilized, much stronger than simple manure.

Zhang Han said again: "Is there a pile of silt over there?" ”

This time it was Sun Jingting who replied: "It is the mud from the river that is dredged out of the river, and the mud in the various fish ponds, which is taken out at the end of the year, and slowly put up in the fields, this thing is very good, no worse than manure......

Kong Minxing is a southerner, and he is very familiar with the matter of digging up the river and fertilizing the fields, but the farming in the north is not so careful, and these things are also taught by Kong Minxing.

Drained from the Nanyang River and the Sanggan River, a large number of machines were driven, and the river water should be dredged frequently, otherwise the impact of the water flow is not enough, and the machine and a large number of waterwheels can not be moved, and there are a large number of fish ponds, at the beginning of the excavation is to ensure the protein intake of the army, the army is more, chickens, ducks and fat want to guarantee a little difficult, after all, the people who eat meat in these years are a minority, usually so many farmers, eat more, even if there is silver, it may not be able to buy.

Encourage farmers to raise a large number of chickens, but can not encourage pigs, pigs want people to compete for food, there are not so many places to ask people to go to pigweed, at that time Zhang Han decided to raise fish, fish ponds dug a lot, and indeed also ensured the quality of the army's diet.

Later, the north was successful, a large number of Mongol sheep were driven to the side wall, this time the meat pressure was relieved a lot, eggs, fish, mutton, these became the daily supply of the army, the thin young man did three months of merchant soldiers, the recruits will be given an annual leave, when they go home, these young men who fish and mutton every day will be frightened...... Even in the arguably brutal boot camp, these lads have gained a lot of weight without exception, and it is only after returning to the barracks, eating daily habits and training for a period of time that their bodies become shapely.

"Kong Zhizhi is like a treasure in our hands...... In three months, the time has come for large-scale trial planting of corn......" Zhang Han sighed a little.

Sun Jingting said: "Just now I said to pray for the supreme brother, what do you think I want to pray for?" I wanted to pray that he would fail...... I was in a bad mood like this, and I resigned from the curtain before, so where else can I go if I don't come here......"

"Huh?" Zhang Han's eyes lit up, and then he looked at Li Shenming, and both of them smiled.

……

"Hear clearly, everyone should prepare their own luggage, don't bring clothes, at most bring a set to change on the road......"

Lu Da was wearing his short padded jacket, and his hands were no longer in his sleeves, he stood on a high place, beating gongs, and shouting loudly.

Because of old age...... Lu Da is already over 30 years old, even in the army, he is considered to be an older enlistment, although the army puts the maximum age to 40, but many of the physical fitness assessment over 30 years old do not meet the standard, plus there are requirements for speech and eyes, after all, there are still a few people who can successfully enlist in the army over 30.

"What clothes do you bring?" A red-faced young man said with a big grin: "When you arrive at the barracks, you will be given two or three sets of military uniforms, underwear, socks, and everything you eat, don't worry about anything, let's take a shower three times a year at home, and don't wash our clothes once in two months. ”

The people around laughed, Lu Da blushed, and shouted: "This is what the top commanded me to say, I just do it, and besides, the rules in the barracks are strict, you have to take a bath every day in summer, and you have to wash your feet every day in winter, and you have to take a bath every seven days...... My brother is the flag captain in the army, and he said it. ”

"Do you have to bathe and wash your feet by day?" The red-faced young man smiled and said unhappily: "I don't like to take a bath when I am young......

"That's not right!" Lu Da grabbed the handle, pointed at the other party and said: "Half a team lives in a room, you don't wash or change your clothes, the smell is not big, you don't wash it, it won't be a pigsty." ”

"Yes, we just want to sell our strength, or let's serve people's bowls and be ......managed by others."

The red-faced young man actually had a good temper, and after a few words with Lu Da, he just lined up again.

"And ah......" Lu Da continued to walk with a gong again, and called: "As I said, the number of soldiers is insufficient, now the minimum age is lowered to fifteen, and the maximum is put to forty-two, and the night blind man did not accept it before, but now it is also ......."

"That's great!"

When others heard the discussion, Lu Siyi grabbed Lu San's arm and shouted, "I'll sign up too!" ”

Lu Si was not old enough before, but now that he is in the standard as soon as he relaxes, Lu San said: "This has to be discussed with the second brother, right?" ”

"Discuss a ball!" Lu Sidao: "He himself is an officer, and he earns so much in a year, so he wants me to eat idle meals at home and serve his old mother?" I also want to be an officer to earn money, buy land and build a big house! ”

……

From Lingqiu City to Guangling City, and then to Ulju and other places, there are people everywhere beating gongs and drums to announce the latest news.

Lingqiu here is the most recruited, after all, it is an area where miners gather, there are many young and courageous young men, and the mine has attracted a large number of young people who are willing to be miners in the whole north, but now the mines are almost full, and they can't absorb it at once, and a lot of foreign strong laborers can only work in Lingqiu for a short time.

Li Zhuang recruited a large number of soldiers, of course, what he wanted was qualified strong labor, and the number of qualified people here in Lingqiu was extremely large.

At the beginning, because only 3,000 people were accepted in one battalion, the recruiters were still a little constrained, and many qualified people were turned away...... There are some people who know that the news is late, and the applicants who have just come are already full.

The quota for Lingqiu was 1,500, accounting for half of the places, and it was filled in a day and a half.

After Zhang Han made a new decision, the quota here in Lingqiu rose to seven thousand, and after the announcement, all recruitment points were lined up with long queues, and people were crowded everywhere.

Lu Dafu did not return to the team after the year, he was not transferred to the barracks, but he was appointed as one of the chief officers of the recruitment point, and was responsible for the recruitment of troops on the Lingqiu side with Zhang Chunniu and others.

"There are so many people," Zhang Chunniu wiped his sweat, the weather was still a little cold, he squeezed in and out of the crowd, his face and forehead were full of sweat, and his voice was hoarse, he complained to Lu Dafu: "Temporary change, we still have these manpower, recruit several times more people, the quality of the army has to be guaranteed, and the top is really not distressed at all." ”

Lu Dafu glanced at him and said, "Are you going to die, recruit so many people at once, whose decision do you think?" ”

Zhang Chunniu took a march, then smiled, and said: "We still have to do things, we just have this stinky mouth, everyone knows the ......"

"Hmm." Lu Dafu snorted and said, "Do our business with peace of mind......"

Zhang Chunniu tilted his head and signaled: "There's a quarrel over there again......

This recruitment point is a place opened up in the Lingqiu Chamber of Commerce, the place is very large, Sun Anle and Ma Huaxian Li Dayong and other chamber of commerce directors are very cooperative, but some small and medium-sized businessmen, because He Yusheng has requisitioned a lot of places, affecting the normal operation of the chamber of commerce, they are quite unhappy.

"It's those few, Yue Liangzuo, Jiang Chenying, Wang Zhengjian......" Lu Dafu said lazily: "Most of them are grain merchants and grocers, and they used to be considered figures with heads and faces here in Lingqiu, but now there can only be one or two shares, and there are many of them who put together one or two shares, let's set up a review meeting, originally to appease them, but these guys picked up chicken feathers as arrows......"

Zhang Chunniu said in a sullen voice: "Lingqiu Division should send troops to arrest these guys." ”

"Fuck your fart." Lu Dafu scolded: "If the Chamber of Commerce uses guns and knives here, who will follow us to do business in the future!" ”

Zhang Chunniu smiled and said, "We just have a mouthful of addiction, who doesn't know the truth......"

Lu Dafu ignored him and looked over there intently.

Lingqiu Chamber of Commerce, like the rest of the chambers of commerce, the chamber of commerce is in the east-west street, generally in the south of the city, at that time the general regulation of the city is Fuqian Street in the north of the city, east and west, the street is the yamen and warehouses, then the school palace and various temple buildings, and then the south is generally restaurants and commercial centers, residential areas are scattered around these large buildings, streets and alleys, forming a large and small, high and low level of different residential areas.

The more south you get closer to the city gate, the place generally begins to be sparse, people are scarce, and there are even a lot of vegetable fields, and the place where Yusheng wants to use is very large, generally in these places to buy a large number of acres of houses, push the old houses and rebuild.

The branches of the Chamber of Commerce and Heyusheng are almost all in one place now.

The gate was open to the south, and there were merchant soldiers on duty guarding the door, but instead of standing in the most conspicuous place, there was a very hidden small pavilion...... The Chamber of Commerce is a place to open its doors to do business, and the murderous impact is not good.

Entering from the gate, there is a row of dozens of rooms side by side bungalows, and there are wing rooms in the north-south direction, which is the most important place, where the council and the council of the chamber of commerce are located, and most of them are held to discuss business and hold meetings to discuss things.

Further in, there are various warehouses, covering an extremely wide area.

Even if the foreign merchants were suspicious of the Chamber of Commerce, once they entered the inside, they immediately felt the extraordinaryness of this Lingqiu Chamber of Commerce.

Then to Guangling, Ulzhou, Tianchengwei, Xinpingbao, Yanghe Acropolis, and even Datong, there are chambers of commerce of this scale or even larger, and at this time, no one doubts the strength of Zhang Han and He Yusheng......

In any case, people look at the Chamber of Commerce with He Yusheng and, of course, Zhang Han, although many members of the Chamber of Commerce themselves don't think so.
