When several people were discussing, Wang Kai came in, and Xu Ping asked him, "Have you discussed the matter outside?" ”

"It's about decided. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info just how to ship the goods of the three shops in Qinzhou, and ask the marshal to decide. Director Zheng said that in the inland states and counties, the transportation between states is entrusted to the mailing department, and the transportation of goods within the state is carried by the shop's own fleet. Qinzhou is located on the border, and the territory under the management is too large, so I don't know if it is still according to the method of inland states and counties. ”

Xu Ping thought for a while and said to Wang Kai: "It's better to follow the methods of inland states and counties, and the three divisions in the state will organize their own convoys and entrust them to others, which is a lot of inconvenience for them." Moreover, the three shops have money, and one or two hundred big cars are not a big deal for them. For Qinzhou, the more mule and horse vehicles, the better. When marching in the interior, grain and grass can be replenished by the locality, but we can't do it here, and we have to transport it ourselves to follow the army. The Sansi shop has its own team, and the baggage department of the Shuaifu must also have its own team, even Qinzhou, which also has a team. ”

Wang Kai was stunned: "In this way, how many big cars do you need?" There are a lot of pastures around Qinzhou, and there is no shortage of horses, but the carts-"

"There is a workshop in Fengxiang Mansion, as long as there is no shortage of wood, there is no shortage of carts. Now there is a first use of the wood stored in previous years, and it seems that it will be autumn and winter, and this year the box army will be dispatched to collect more wood and put it down the Wei River. ”

How the factory makes cars and how many cars can be made, Wang Kai has never seen it, and he can't imagine it. According to his past experience, it takes a lot of time to make a car, which requires good carpentry, and many places are technical work. Although the three divisions have moved a lot of people from the mainland, it is difficult to train good carpenters, how can they make as many systems as they want?

But I don't know that the essence of factory production is standardized production, as long as the production process and process are determined, the requirements for skilled workers are not much lower than the traditional method. A young man with a flexible mind, as long as he trains for three or five months, he is a good hand in the production line, and he will learn for ten or eight years at every turn like traditional crafts. Now Fengxiang Mansion is not only making cars, but even making ships because of the process brought by Luoyang, the production speed has more than doubled. Now the only bottleneck is that the stored wood supply is not available, as long as the supply of wood is open, Qinfeng Road can be full of carts.

There are more than 10,000 horses in Qinzhou every year, which is according to the standard of war horses, and such good horses are not needed to pull carts. With the ratio of one or two war horses out of ten horses, how many carts can be built, there is no need to worry about finding a horse here. Build roads, build cars, use massive materials to submerge the surrounding land, and change the economic structure of this area in the shortest possible time.

Next, Wang Kai officially conveyed to Sang Yi and Gao Daquan the arrangements of the Shuai Mansion for this exercise. How to march, what to pay attention to when marching, and what requirements to meet. After arriving at the Guanshan grassland, the military department of the Counsellor has already made a unified plan for how to fight each other and what combat drills to complete, and has put forward specific requirements for the two armies to complete.

After Wang Kai finished speaking, the rest was for the officials of the two armies to come and accept the task with the personnel of the Shuaifu, which included a large number of official documents and maps, as well as a form for the evaluation of the exercise. Wang Kai also arranged for his subordinates to follow the two armies, supervise the implementation of tasks, and evaluate the results of the exercise. Xu Ping will not interfere in these specific trivial affairs.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Ping said: "When marching on the road, the general army carries three days' worth of food, and any more must be replenished. There are also tricks to carrying dry food, how to make dry food, how to carry it on the road, and how to eat it when you use it. How to cook the rice, how to get the water, how to drink it, may sound trivial, but for the war effort, it can have a major impact. If you can bring more food for one day, you will be able to travel dozens of miles more, and you may occupy important places ahead of the enemy. Therefore, the little things are not small and cannot be taken lightly. The production of dry food, the use of it on the road, the search for water sources and the drinking of raw and cooked water, the Shuai Fu set several strategies. In this exercise and march, each of you divided the various commanders under you, which methods to use, and finally made a comprehensive assessment. ”

Sang Yi asked, "In this case, is the Shuai Mansion still providing dry food this time?" ”

Xu Ping nodded: "This time." After the drills, a good method was selected, and the method of production, storage, and use were all determined, and then each army made it itself. Let me first talk about the general principles, the first is to dry, dry durable, not easy to mildew. The second is to have oil, and the more oil, the better. A pound of oil can add a lot of rice and wheat, and the prepared dry food has oil, which is easy for soldiers to eat, and it is more resistant to consumption on the road. The third one should be fine, the same size, the heavier the better. It is fine and easy to carry, and it is more satisfying to eat it at the same speed in the stomach. In addition, in addition to dry food, there are additional fat and sugar to be distributed to you, one is to eat at the time of meal to replenish nutrients, and the other is to be used to save lives when it is critical. There is a shortage of water in the northwest, and although there are many rivers around Qinzhou, it is still not as convenient as the Central Plains. Especially during the emergency march, there is no time to find firewood to boil water, and drinking raw water can easily cause epidemics. This time, when it is inconvenient to make a fire to boil water, or when the water source is dirty and cannot be drunk, use alum to purify the water first. - How to use it, the marshal's mansion will send a booklet to you, and each commander must send someone to learn it, don't make a mistake in this! ”

Sang Yi and Gao Daquan forked hands promised. When going out to march and fight, eating and drinking are big problems, and if you are not careful, you will make a big mistake, and the more detailed Xu Ping does in this, the greater the benefits will be for the future. This is a matter of life and death, and the two dare not slack off.

Gao Daquan suddenly scratched his head, and smiled first before saying: "Jie Shuai, when you go out on a march, I don't know if you have any wine?" ”

Sang Yi smiled, and Xu Ping also smiled. After returning from Yongzhou, Gao Daquan was not as addicted to alcohol as before, but he couldn't quit because he was too addicted to alcohol, and he still had to drink some every day. It's just that Xu Ping is strict and doesn't dare to overdo it.

Xu Ping looked at Wang Kai, thought about it and nodded: "Fa, the wine is to be sent." Speaking of wine, it is a good thing, as long as you don't drink too much, you can lift your spirit and increase your strength. I'm talking about it in the first place, the wine is given to you, but if there is anyone drunk in the army, it will be punished severely! Gao Daquan, you are the same, if the army is drunk, a military stick is indispensable. Gandu was imprisoned in Qinzhou, in charge of the Department of Military Justice, and now the handling is all trivial matters, if you are all commanding the envoy to be beaten with a military stick, he just uses you to establish authority, you have to think about it. Wine in the army is used to boost morale, not to make alcohol. Therefore, the wine sent to the army is in the hands of Zhang Kang and Jingtai, and the commander of the army cannot use it at will. ”

Gao Daquan promised that after so many years, his alcohol addiction was much better than before. It's okay to be able to drink one or two sips a day to satisfy your cravings, and you won't get drunk when you have nothing to do in peacetime, let alone in wartime.

In fact, the military doctor who accompanied the army carried medical alcohol, but it was not drinkable with impurities, just to prevent anyone in the army from secretly drinking. However, alcohol, especially spirits, has many benefits, and as long as it is not excessive, it is indeed a good thing. When marching in the rain and drinking a sip of spirits, you will not be able to get sick easily. It's too cold in the early morning and evening, and you can take a sip of wine for a while. Not to mention that alcohol is still a stimulant, when the two armies are about to see blood, a sip of wine can boost morale.

Xu Ping is not against drinking in the army, but it must be within control and cannot be mistaken because of alcohol.
