Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 146 Loose Tea
After getting up early in the morning, after breakfast, Wang Xiaolie walked around the back office a few times.The fresh air in the morning, with the fragrance of flowers, makes people feel refreshed.

Seeing that it was still early, Wang Xiao hunted out of the yamen and went to the place where recruits were trained nearby.Recruit training, unlike veterans, is training day and night.And it's not just about physical training, but more about discipline and equipment.

After walking a few steps, I saw Chi Yuping standing at the door of the barracks with tears in his eyes.

Wang Xiaolie called Cao Ying, the instructor on duty.Asked: "That Chi Yuping, why didn't you go to training?"

Cao Ying crossed his hands: "Back to Zhizhou, his body is too fat. After running for three steps, he is too tired to move his legs. It is just delaying others. There is no way but to let him stand there. Eat less every day. Rice, wait until you lose weight, and then train together."

Wang Xiaolie shook his head: "Coach, if you want to lose weight, do you know what to do?"

Cao Ying said: "If you are obese, you naturally eat too much. As long as you eat less, you will lose weight after a while."

Wang Xiaolie said with a smile: "If you want to lose weight, just eat less. Eat too little, and be careful of getting sick. If you want to lose weight, remember six words: shut up and open your legs. This is what ordinary people say , pay attention to eat less, not to be full. More importantly, it is to open your legs. Every day after eating, you will lie still, and of course you will become fatter. I think this Chi Yuping should not move much at ordinary times. In our army, we train every day, which is not as good as ordinary people. Don't shut up, he is the same as a normal soldier, he has to eat every meal. After he is full, he can't stand like that, but he has to train. Because obesity is not as good as It doesn't matter if you fuck someone else, just let him slow down. But you must not let him stop!"

Cao Ying was a little embarrassed: "Zhizhou, if this is the case, won't it delay others? I have more than a hundred soldiers under my command, how can I just look at him alone?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "Those who joined the army should know each other and love each other. You choose a well-trained subordinate to accompany Chi Yuping instead of you. One is to keep an eye on him and not allow him to be lazy and play tricks. The other is to teach by example. , to be his role model."

Cao Ying was somewhat unwilling.In doing so, you will delay yourself and others.But seeing Wang Xiaolie's appearance, he could only agree.

Wang Xiaolie said: "It's not easy to recruit these new recruits. If we can't train them well, we are negligent! You remember, the instructor in the recruit battalion has a heavy responsibility. If a soldier is not qualified, the instructor has to reflect carefully. Leave it alone!"

Seeing Wang Xiaolie's serious attitude, Cao Ying hurriedly crossed his hands and said yes.

Let Cao Ying leave, Wang Xiaolie watched for a while.Finally, Shao Ling was found.

In front of Wang Xiaolie, Shao Ling saluted.

Wang Xiaolie said: "Controlling, this is a new military camp in Xinye, there should be a new system, it can't be the same as before. I checked here, and the number of instructors is too small now. One instructor manages more than a hundred people, how can we see it? You select some particularly good veterans from the original army, and come here temporarily as instructors. It may be for three months, or for half a year, and then other people will come over. Try to ensure that one instructor leads no more than 20 recruits .By the way, it is best to have two instructors, the principal and the deputy, teach in pairs, not alone."

Shao Ling was stunned when he heard this: "Why? Zhizhou, the original army also needs to train. It's not nothing. The veterans came here first, didn't they delay the original army training? These recruits are nothing more than training their strength and knowing discipline. Familiar with the formation, it is not complicated."

Wang Xiaolie shook his head: "The recruits first enter the barracks, if they train well, they will easily become elite soldiers later on. If they don't train well, even if they are assigned to the army, it will be difficult for them to improve later. Don't treat recruits carelessly. Battalion! First of all, recruits in the recruit battalion must be able to endure hardships and stand hard work. Second, teach them to observe discipline. The third is to be familiar with the formation of equipment."

Shao Ling usually didn't think about how to train recruits.In the past, there was no centralized training for recruits in the army.When newcomers join the army, they are assigned to various battalions.Follow others and learn quickly.What kind of new barracks Wang Xiaolie is doing here is not understood by the army.

The recruit battalion is an important military system for later generations.After unified training, recruits are allowed to learn military skills as soon as possible, become familiar with military discipline, and understand military systems.After recruiting into the army, together with the veterans in the army, the combat power of the army will not decline.When facing a major war, there are new barracks training in the rear, which can ensure a steady stream of troops.

what time is thisFacing the critical moment of national ruin and family ruin, finally had a chance to breathe, how could Wang Xiaolie let it go?With a perfect boot camp, you can train a large number of troops.With an army in hand, there is capital.

In fact, Wang Xiaolie couldn't say very clearly how to train recruits.But after a year, it's not the same as last year.Now the military is familiar with the training and system of the Forbidden Army, as long as you put your heart into it, you can reform and use it.

Repeatedly asked Shao Ling not to take it lightly.Looking at the sky, Wang Xiaolie said, "I'm going to the Xinyang Army for a few days. When I get back, I'll go to Xiangyang Mansion. These days, you should work hard to let the recruits adapt to life in the army as soon as possible."

Shao Ling crossed his hands and said yes.But I still have doubts in my heart, how should I practice.

Back at the yamen, changed into casual clothes, Wang Xiaolie brought a hundred guards, and left Xinye City.Cross Bishui, pass Huyang, Tongbai, and arrive at Xinyang Army five days later.Zhang Jun got the news and came out of the city early to welcome him.

Seeing that the city is tidy, it's just a little deserted.Wang Xiaolie said: "A few states we occupy, but your place is quiet."

Zhang Jundao: "Xinyang Army is a small place, not on a commercial road, and there are few merchants, so it is naturally deserted. However, it has beautiful mountains and rivers, a pleasant climate, and many beautiful scenery around. It is good to live here."

At this time, the Xinyang Army only governed the two counties of Xinyang and Luoshan, unlike the many counties under its jurisdiction later, it was indeed a small place.And unlike Dengzhou, Tangzhou and other places, it belongs to Beijing Northwest Road.Relatively speaking, it is indeed remote.

The Huainan tea farms in the Song Dynasty were located in Guangzhou, Gushi and Shangcheng, not in the territory of the Xinyang Army.Therefore, in later generations, Xinyang Maojian is the best tea in the world, and its main production areas are also in Xinyang and Luoshan, but its reputation is not obvious at this time.

When I arrived at Houya, a pavilion was built next to a big osmanthus tree, surrounded by various flowers.Zhang Jun set up a table here to welcome Wang Xiaohun.The environment here is quiet, surrounded by the fragrance of flowers, it is a good place.

Just went in to wash up, changed into casual clothes, Zhang Jun accompanied Wang Xiaohun to the gazebo.

The two sat down.Wang Xiaolie said: "Although Xinyang Army's place is small, its geographical location is very important. And the tea produced here is really precious in the place we occupy now. To do things, we need money. Why are we short of money now?" .The extermination of Yang Jin and Wang Jun got some money, which has been almost spent in the past few months. If you can’t make money as soon as possible, you will be in trouble later. With the tea farm, you can get a lot of money!”

Zhang Jundao: "Zhizhou, I have also asked these days. Although the Xinyang Army belongs to the Huainan tea farm, it does not produce much tea. Now the tea farms that receive tea are all in Guangzhou. It was not convenient to sell tea in the past, and there were few growers. And the tea growers Most people do not make lump tea, but loose tea."

"Loose tea?" Wang Xiaolie's eyes lit up after hearing this. "What's wrong with loose tea? Naturally, it has a unique flavor!"

Zhang Jundao: "Tuan tea is the most valuable now. Only rural people who can't afford to drink it drink loose tea. Besides, group tea is good luck. Loose tea is not easy to transport, and it is easy to rot."

Wang Xiaolie shook his head repeatedly after hearing this: "I can't say that. Loose tea is better than loose tea. Take me to the tea area tomorrow to have a look. Loose tea has its own method of making loose tea, and it can also make the best quality tea." Tea."

How can Zhang Jun believe it?Just when Wang Xiaolie was dizzy thinking about money, he didn't say anything more.

Most of the tea in the Song Dynasty was group tea, which was made by steaming green tea and pressed into groups.When drinking, it is crushed and boiled with ginger and cinnamon, which is somewhat similar to the decoction of later generations.The rest of the wind should be Japanese matcha.In addition to tuancha, some low-end tea leaves are not pressed into agglomerates, which are called loose tea.Historically, in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered loose tea to be used for tribute tea instead of tuancha, and tuancha soon died out.From this, all kinds of teas have been developed in later generations.

In the memory of his previous life, the teas that Wang Xiaolie remembered were nothing more than green tea, oolong tea, black tea, Pu'er tea, and some other types.It is roughly divided into fermented tea and unfermented tea.The most familiar, of course, is green tea.

Considering the Chinese people's taste is so tricky, delicious tea is of course the method of making in later generations.Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang did not use Tuancha as a tribute tea. Of course, it was not on his whim, but as time passed, the tea making method developed a new technology and established a foundation.

The Japanese have a unique character. They retain matcha and have developed a set of rules that cannot be analyzed from the taste.Most of the time, Japanese traditional culture has little to do with taste and has its own logic.

Wang Xiao went to the Xinyang Army to make tea for future generations.Although I am not familiar with tea making, I have watched several documentaries and I still remember the general steps.With these steps of later generations, there are skilled craftsmen to make good tea.
