Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 804 There are rivers and lakes everywhere!
The officers and soldiers walked for thousands of miles, and their bodies were so dirty.

Ordinary officers and soldiers can bear it, and the smell is just a little bit. Anyway, it doesn’t matter if you get used to it, but the girls in the student company really can’t bear it. As early as ten days ago, Teacher Xiao He suggested to Tang Dao that the whole army should find a town Clean up, and by the way, let everyone tidy up their personal hygiene.

But Tang Dao considered that the Japanese army attacking the Longhai line was strengthening their offensive, but in January, the defense line of the first theater would move back, and the Four Elements Regiment had to stay away from the combat area during this period until after chatting with Tantai Mingyue , and the Four Elements Group had already left the dangerous area, so they finally decided to rest near Zhengzhou for the New Year.

It just so happened that he could also use this gap to find the person he was looking for, and chat with this high-ranking official who was about to lose power about the future changes.

Although the brother who dumped the blame on him at a critical moment, he is still a patriotic person in his bones. That is the basis for Tang Dao to find him, and it is also the reason why Commander Zhang asked him to help carry the letter.

The relationship between the two is already broken, but from the perspective of the country and the nation, Commander Zhang finally made his own choice. Judging from this small matter, the reason why he can become an anti-Japanese hero that lasts forever is not only sacrificial.

A person's mind and structure have already laid the foundation for a person's achievements.

For a whole day, all the officers and soldiers of the Four Elements Regiment did nothing, whether they wanted to or not, they were all cleaning up their personal hygiene.

The mayor of the town is also a smart man. He specially brought more than 300 women, holding the big foot basin at home and the special clubs for laundry, to wash and dry clothes for the officers and soldiers of the Four Elements Regiment. This is pure help and no charge.

The officers and soldiers of the Four Elements Regiment were only responsible for taking off their dirty military uniforms and handing them over to the women in charge, washing themselves, cutting their hair and beard short and shaving, and putting on the new military uniforms issued by the regiment.

Double the spirit!
In the afternoon, the officers and soldiers walking in the small town no longer looked the same as they did when they first entered the town. Their hair was short, their faces were clean, and they didn't have a strong smell of sweat. They also had a faint fragrance of acacia. Yes, it's the spirited guy who puts on the new military uniform and walks with his head held high, an absolutely spirited guy.

In the future, soldiers wearing military uniforms and military boots will stand out from the general population. At this time, the soldiers of the Four Elements Regiment are already in a bustling town

Seeing the girls and daughters-in-law in the small town blushing, after all, they might be the most handsome group of boys they have ever seen in their life.

Fortunately, the Military Law Department had experience and was well prepared. Five or six teams of military discipline inspectors patrolled the town and its surrounding areas. These guys are full of blood. Tuan's face can be lost.

As for what you say is like-minded, it’s best not to, the head of the regiment said, the big girl in the north has gone to the water, it’s too far away, once the troops move out, they don’t know what year and month, let alone life and death on the battlefield. , don't harm other girls.

The officers and soldiers were busy with sanitation, and after finishing the sanitation to show off, Tang Dao and a group of people in the regiment headquarters were busy running around. There were too many trivial matters.

The town at this moment may be the busiest two days in the history of the entire town. Not only is the town’s capital invested, the houses along the Qingshiban small street are covered with red lanterns, but the population is increasing rapidly. .

Now it’s not like before there were only 2000 locals. They all said that merchants have the most sensitive sense of smell. Ever since they knew that an infantry regiment came to the town who passed by here but would stay for several days, and asked the surrounding villagers for a large number of daily necessities. Merchants in the big city of Zhengzhou inside and outside heard the news, and all kinds of goods were packed along the bluestone road in the town, which was much more abundant than the big fair a year ago.

Although these years are full of wars and wars with the Japanese, ordinary people are more concerned about their own lives. No matter how difficult life is, they will still have to live this year. Just like Yang Bailao, who is so poor, he also wants to give The daughter pulls a foot of red-headed rope to celebrate the new year.

Commodities have suddenly become so plentiful, and the potential consumer groups are not only the officers and soldiers of the Four Elements Regiment who cleaned up and went shopping on vacation, but also the villagers with a radius of more than [-] miles in the town.

A day or two ago, they exchanged surplus food and poultry, duck and fish for money, and their potential spending power is not bad.

At this time, the turbulent flow of people in the small town is no different from the antique streets built in various famous ancient cities in the future. Not to mention twenty or thirty thousand, ten thousand or more is no problem.

The mayor of the small town couldn't wish more, and he smiled so much that he hadn't closed his mouth at all since he arrived at the Quartermaster Office of the Four Lines Regiment two days ago.

The merchants who come to set up street stalls are not in vain. The town will collect taxes. Although there are not many merchants, there are many merchants who can't stand it!And there are so many people here, can't find a place to eat and sleep?There are only two small restaurants in the small town. To support the needs of such a large population, it is ultimately up to the residents of the town, right?

The women in the small town organized a group to wash clothes for the Four Elements Group for free, but the men were not idle either. They made the simplest stewed noodles at home and sold them at the market price. It is no problem at all to sell four or five hundred bowls.

The town is earning money by collecting taxes, everyone is earning money, and the prestige of the mayor has been improved qualitatively. The biggest beneficiary is the town mayor named Huang Siren. Can you not be happy!

Otherwise, this is a capable person, Huang Siren also knows that all this is brought by the Four Elements Group, and he brought his younger brothers to beat the gongs and drums to the Four Elements Group to send five big fat with red flowers tied Not to mention that the pig is used by the army, he quietly found the regiment headquarters of the Four Elements, threw fifty oceans to the Zhuang Shisan who came to meet him, and ran away.

It's not that Tang Dao doesn't have time to see him, but the name of this guy is not good. When he hears the name "Huang Shiren", he can't help but think of Yang Bailao and Xi'er, and Shitou's younger sister is also called Ximei. You think Tang Dao can Interested in meeting him!
Fifty Oceans is not much for high-ranking officials and nobles, but for this small town mayor, it can be regarded as a big deal. If it were changed to before, Chief of Staff Zhuang Da would naturally accept it with peace of mind and then invite his hardcore staff to drink big wine.

After several rounds of bloody battles, Zhuang Shisan's desire for money has become much smaller. It's not that he no longer loves money, but that he knows very well that compared to living, money is nothing!
Besides, what kind of personality is Tang Dao?

A gentleman loves money in a proper way. If you should take it, a penny will not be less. If you don’t deserve it, getting one more point is a violation of military discipline, and Tang Dao leads by example, whether it is his future father-in-law or his battalion commander. If you come to eat a lot, all the bills will be deducted from the military salary.

That's not a show, since the head of the regiment reported the number of his generous treats in January, the head of Tang Da went to check on the company below every time it was almost time for dinner, and squatted down with the big soldiers to eat at a temporary rest. Not to mention how diligent you are.

The officers and soldiers simply loved this behavior of a certain regiment, and perhaps the company commanders like Li Jiujin who had come back to it were rolling their eyes.

Tang Tuanzuo is clearly determined to eat the meal he invited back, otherwise, why would he bring his future old father-in-law and his old family with pens, inks, papers and inkstones? The name is to let the old Tantai who is creating the painting collect the wind.

One person is obviously not enough, three people are needed, no, four people, and the Erya who never leaves her side also has to be counted, right?
"Tuan Zuo, what should we do with the fifty oceans? Or, we use them for public use?" Zhuang Shisan suggested.

"Fifty oceans are used for public use, and such a large expense for our regiment is just superficial. The so-called increase in revenue and reduce expenditure, the most important thing is to increase revenue!" Tang Dao put down the plan he was writing in his hand, and thought about it carefully. "Since this is the first New Year since our regiment was newly established, if you want to celebrate it, it's enough to be happy and festive, why not like this"

Fifty oceans are not much, so it is better to use this as a bonus, even if it is divided into fifty shares for a lottery, the officers and soldiers of the whole regiment can have fun.

Of course, Zhuang Shisan agreed with this suggestion.

But Tang Dao's next plan is a bit big. What he means is that the mayor of the town is doing well, and the residents of the town have also given a lot of help to the Four Elements Group. Now the open space outside the town is erected. There are so many bamboo poles and racks to dry military uniforms with numbers written on them. They are all masterpieces of women in the small town.

How about having a military-civilian get-together to reflect the love between the military and the civilians? This is also the first time that the officers and soldiers of the Four Elements Regiment transferred from the old army are so close to ordinary people, and such things will probably become more and more common in the future. More, it can be regarded as a template for them.

It is definitely the patent of that army to mingle with the common people, and because of this foundation, they have expanded their army from less than a hundred thousand to a few years in North China, where the population is not too large. Hundreds of thousands or even more, this is still under the circumstances that the economic situation is extremely poor and military expenditures cannot be guaranteed.

If they are given enough military expenses, Tang Dao even dared to say that the entire North China can be a soldier.

Although ordinary people have their own little thoughts, they are still simple after all, and they will treat whoever is kind to them.

Even if Tang Dao didn't intend to recruit troops in this small town, getting the officers and soldiers to accept the model of being one with the common people would be of great help to the future development of the Four Elements Group in impoverished areas like Northwest Shanxi.

As for the military-civilian gala, it is not only the officers and soldiers of the Four Elements Regiment who are educated, the hearts of the common people are also grown, and they will also know the concept of defending the country from these programs that promote the spirit of patriotism, and the seeds are buried like this Sooner or later, however little it takes, will sprout, especially after suffering.

Tang Dao never underestimated the tiny flames, as the great man said, a single spark can start a prairie fire.A wildfire that can sweep across the entire mountain range may be ignited by a small cigarette butt.

Moreover, Tang Dao was originally from the people's army, and he was closely connected with the people. Even if he didn't have these goals, he was essentially willing to be happy with the people.

This request is another big expense.

Tang Dao’s way of thinking about the Spring Festival Gala comes from the Spring Festival Gala in the future. When watching the show, the officers and soldiers in the audience are all sitting upright, and each of them only gives out five toffees. But after watching the show, they have to go to a banquet, one for each table Infantry squad, eight cold dishes, eight hot dishes plus a hot pot.

After inquiry from the three largest restaurants in Zhengzhou City by the Military Supplies Office, the Four Lines Group currently has 2931 people and 196 tables. A piece of ocean can make a whole table of meals, at least 1.8 yuan.

This price has already made Zhuang Shisan, the chief logistics officer, extremely distressed. Well, Tang Dao is now proposing a military-civilian party. The residents of the town alone will have to increase the budget by more than [-] tables. Well, if the nearby villagers are also watching the wind, why can you still drive them away?

"That's easy! Cancel the original table-by-table banquet, and give me a running table. I have invited as many people as possible. As for the price, I can only trouble you, the chief of staff, and the three restaurants. The boss negotiates, if it doesn’t work, we will provide the ingredients, and they will provide the chef, helpers and tableware, and we will pay the labor fee!
Meals don’t need to be so delicate. For hot dishes, cold dishes, and hot pots, just serve me meat, steamed meat, fried meat, boiled meat, and serve it in a basin.

As for tables, chairs and benches, the most indispensable thing in the countryside is wood, and the most indispensable thing in our four-element group is manpower. I can make long tables and long chairs now! "Tang Dao made a final decision.

The method adopted by Tang Dao is a bit like the model of weddings and funerals in rural areas in the future. The main family provides ingredients, and the merchant only needs to provide chefs to cook, and then pay the labor fee according to the table.

It's just that in this era, you may be able to ask merchants to provide chef's helper tableware, but they don't have so many tables, chairs and benches.

It's just that this can't trouble Tang Dao, the leader of the regiment.

For soldiers, the battlefield of life and death is not taken seriously, so they will be afraid of these small problems, and do it now without tables, chairs and benches.

The door panels and bed panels in the homes of residents in the town can be used as table tops, and four legs can be nailed underneath.

Stools are even simpler. Once a big tree is cut, it is cut into several planks, and wooden piers are nailed to the bottom. Six or seven people can sit on a long wooden plank, and there are running water seats on it, let alone four to 5000 people. It is 10,000 people, and it can be solved after a few rounds.

Don't tell me, this new model from the future proposed by Tang Dao was quickly adopted by the three major restaurants. The only difficulty is that they don't have so many tableware.

Huang Siren, who participated in the negotiation, was at the pinnacle of his life. When he heard this, he immediately jumped out and patted his chest to ensure that the lack of tableware would be resolved by the town. It was just that every household took out some bowls, chopsticks and vegetable bowls!
At that time, each household will paste the owner's name on their own things, and then take them away after they are finished. If there is any damage, the town will pay for it uniformly.

In two days, the town mayor Huang, who has raised an additional one thousand oceans in the town, would be afraid of such a loss?
With Mayor Huang's guarantee, the shopkeepers of the three major restaurants also patted their chests to ensure that all the soldiers and civilians will be full on New Year's Eve. As long as the ingredients prepared by the Four Elements Group are enough, they can make half of the residents of Zhengzhou City full. .

This is a bit of bragging, but no one has pointed them out. Creatures like merchants can't brag, so how can they make business?

Of course, Zhuang Shisan doesn't know that in the future, those who are engaged in finance and real estate will be worth tens of millions, and they will be trading billions of dollars. , the more leeks dare to invest money in it.

If it were the future hotel owner, he dared to say that the entire Henan province could come to eat.

Of course, bragging is bragging, but the price has been suppressed. The three major restaurants gave a friendly price, dispatched 20 chefs and 80 helpers, and charged a total of 150 oceans, including various ingredients prepared according to 10,000 people , the total price will not exceed 1000 oceans.

This price is definitely not expensive. On average, it is only 0.1 silver ocean per person, which is 20.00% lower than the previous price.

But what Tang Dao and Zhuang Shisan didn't expect was that as long as there are people, there are rivers and lakes everywhere.

Nothing is going well here!I don't know who spread the news that the Four Elements Group will hold a military-civilian festival to celebrate New Year's Eve.

Newspaper reporters in Zhengzhou City heard the news and ran to find Zhuang Shisan for an interview. Zhuang Shisan was no longer the battalion commander of the security regiment who only knew how to make money. The machine is used to publicize how the Chinese army kills the enemy on the front line, and it is full of positive energy for defending the country.

After careful sculpting with the reporter's pen, by noon, all the residents in Zhengzhou City knew that the famous Four-Element Battalion on the Songhu Front and the current Four-Element Regiment had come to Zhengzhou.

Good guy, that is really the shadow of a famous tree. Ordinary residents have nothing to do with it. At most, they are just curious about what the anti-Japanese hero Tang Dao looks like, but those gentry are different.

Greetings flew like snowflakes to the regiment headquarters of the Four Elements, hoping to invite Tang Dao and several officers from the regiment headquarters of the Four Elements to eat at home or in a restaurant.

These guys are all human beings.

What they wanted was not to see what Tang Dao looked like, but to take the opportunity to get familiar with Tang Dao.

Now the battle situation is obviously not good for China. The Japanese are still acting as devils in Jinling. Don’t look at the headquarters of the First Theater Command stationed in Zhengzhou. , is definitely the sweet pastry in the eyes of the rich in this era.

Isn't it just a meal!At most, if you give some gifts, you can get acquainted with Tang Dao, maybe you can use it that day?To become rich, luck may be the decisive factor, but most of the brains are definitely enough.

And there is a more important point. It is said that Tang Dao is only in his early 20s. At such an age, he is very likely to be unmarried. The local tyrants who have daughters or nieces of the right age at home have to use their little abacus to pull it up!
Tang Dao felt a pain in his head when he saw the greeting cards that could be stacked up to a foot high.

In his previous life and this life, Tang Dao spent all his time in the military camp. He knew how to have relationships with his superiors and subordinates, but he rarely dealt with this group of "social people". Tang Dao wants to die both for hypocrisy and falsehood.

But it is impossible not to chew on the fat that is given to the mouth. Zhuang Shisan has clearly said that as long as people go, the white and silver gifts are indispensable. This is an unspoken rule!
Businessmen stand in the foreground to make money, and then share the profits with those in power. This was the case in ancient times, and it is also the case now.

It has to be said that Old Tantai has experience, and when Tang Dao mentioned this, he frowned, smiled slightly and made a suggestion: "That's not easy, you want a military-civilian party anyway, since they want to see you, then Come here as well, you can see them all at once, since you are here, you must not empty-handed, what a gift! Assuming that this time the expenses are well spent, maybe there will be some profit!"

Tang Dao suddenly realized, and gave his old father-in-law a thumbs up with a smile on his face, looking at the piles of greeting cards, he only wished that it would become two piles, no, three piles.

Perhaps only Tantai Mingyue rolled her eyes at one or two of her closest men, but she had heard that many local rich men wanted to bring their daughters to see Tang Dao, what did they want to do?
