Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 759 Let them raise sheep

As a habit developed in the army, Zhang Jun went to the government hall every day before dawn, and he could not be shaken.When we arrived at the official hall, Qiu Sheng, the secretary in charge, had already arrived, sorted out the official documents sent by category, and put them on everyone's official cases.

Seeing Zhang Jun, Qiu Sheng said hello.

Zhang Jun nodded and said, "The secretary came early!"

Qiu Shengdao: "I'm used to being the secretary in charge. Come early to deal with the official documents. By the way, today's Jinzhou garrison sent a letter to remind us not to miss the wedding date."

Zhang Jun said with a smile: "How can such a big event be delayed! They have good intentions, thank them."

After making a cup of strong tea, just as they sat down, Jiang Min and the others arrived.Handle official documents separately until Chenshi.

Jiang Min got up and said to Zhang Jun: "Now the army has three meals a day, and breakfast is usually from Mao to Chen. If you don't eat it, I'm afraid it will be cold."

As soon as the words fell, the rest of the people stretched and stood up.

Knowing that breakfast is eaten together, Zhang Jun hurriedly got up and said to Jiang Min, "We have also changed it to three meals in the army. I'm still not used to it."

While talking, several people walked out of the official hall together and went to the cafeteria.

At this time, the soldiers had already had breakfast, and the cafeteria seemed empty.When the few officers saw Jiang Min and the others coming in, they all stood up and saluted.

Wei Ren said: "In order to prevent unnecessary trouble, the officers above the command set up a small cafeteria separately, let's go inside."

Zhang Jun understood that this was a common practice in the military.Generally speaking, officers at the first level eat with their soldiers, and officers above the battalion set up a small canteen separately.Because officers above the battalion had less contact with soldiers, it was inconvenient for both parties to eat together.In fact, the food they ate was similar, it was nothing more than a few extra steamed buns and a few extra boiled eggs in the officers’ canteen, and the rest were pretty much the same.

When we entered the small cafeteria, there was no one eating.

Zhang Jun ordered five deep-fried dough sticks, two boiled eggs, and a bowl of tofu nao.Seeing that Jiang Min just took four big buns, made a bowl of millet porridge, and didn't even take an egg.He said with a smile, "Dutong has such a small appetite!"

Jiang Min said: "I don't like to eat too much in the morning, there is no way."

When soldiers eat, most people gobble it up and finish it in one go.The sooner you finish eating, the more likely you are to drink an extra bowl of porridge, which has become a habit.The surrounding environment is like this, and it is inevitable to be affected.Zhang Jun and the others finished their meal, only to realize that Jiang Min was not in a hurry and only ate half of it.

Seeing that everyone didn't leave, Zhang Jun understood that there was going to be a small meeting after the meal.The Song Army had a dinner party system. On fixed days, the generals in charge of the army would eat together.The purpose is to exchange information and communicate with each other.Many troops continued, just a small meeting after breakfast.

Zhang Chi brought tea, poured it for several people, and waited slowly for Jiang Min.

A cup of tea was not finished yet, Jiang Min finished it.After clearing the tableware, he sat back at the table.Said: "What's the matter in the army, you can talk about it."

Liang Xing reported the situation of the central army, Zhang Chi reported the situation of the front army and the left army, Wei Ren reported the situation of the right army and the rear army instead of Chi Yuping, and then talked about the affairs of the staff office.

Jiang Min said: "It's nothing serious, let's deal with it as usual. The two biggest things now are the resettlement of the people, and the gift for Xuan Fu's wedding."

Qiu Sheng frowned and said, "Xuanfu made a special confession and didn't prepare congratulatory gifts. To prepare, you can only prepare local specialties from various places, and no more than [-]% of them are allowed. Although Xuanfu said so, we can't really do it Let's do it this way. It's too shabby to show our sincerity."

Jiang Min asked Zhang Jun, "What do you think of Qian Jurisdiction?"

Zhang Jun bowed his head and thought for a while, "According to common sense, the more we say this, the more serious we should be. However, Xuanfu is not an ordinary person! I think we should do as Xuanfu said. According to Xuan Fusi's words."

Jiang Min nodded.Said: "Qian Ju is right, Xuanfu is not an ordinary person. What should the army do? Execute the order! Execute the order without any discount! The Xuanfu Secretary specially confessed that only local specialties are prepared, and no more than [-] pieces are allowed. Just follow this Come to the standard, don’t make your own decisions! Of course, the price of local products is different in different places, and it’s okay if the difference is not too much. But when preparing, follow the standard of fifty guan.”

Wei Ren said: "Since Du Tong and Qian Jue said so, then that's it. This matter should be handed over to Qiu Sheng, and we will have a look at it together in the end."

Qiu Sheng said yes.

Jiang Min took a sip of tea, thought for a while, and said, "There is one more thing. There are more than 8000 civilians who have joined our army, including the surrounding counties of Hot Spring, Shilou, Zhongyang, and Fangshan. Xuan Fu often said that the army and the people are one, and the army should be governed first. We can’t let go of these people, we have to resettle them. If you have any ideas, you might as well speak up and discuss them together.”

Everyone looked at Zhang Jun together, waiting for him to speak.

In terms of responsibility, this is something that Zhang Jun should take care of.But before Jiang Min's army didn't have any jurisdiction, he just took care of it first.Now that Zhang Jun is here, it is natural for him to take over these matters.His attitude directly determines how these things will be done next.

Zhang Jun thought for a while, and then said: "What Dutong said is right, the military and the people are integrated, we have to manage it. Before I came here, I also thought about this matter. The mountains and rivers in Shizhou are broken, and the ravines are criss-crossed. To be honest, it is not a good idea." Place. Unlike the plains, it is easier to set up a field or form a village by itself. In Shizhou, the villages are not big, and management is very troublesome. I think so, subject to geographical conditions, except for a very few In other places, Shizhou is not suitable for farming, so the people should live in villages. Divide them into villages, and find a way to combine these villages.”

Jiang Min asked, "What can Qian Jue do?"

Zhang Jundao: "The geographical conditions here are suitable for raising sheep, so let's use sheep as a link. Establish a supply and marketing cooperative as soon as possible, collect sheep every year, and sell the sheep. In addition to whole sheep, the supply and marketing cooperative can also buy sheepskin. Give them suitable Price, connecting people with benefits."

Jiang Min nodded and remained silent.

Wei Ren said: "Although there are a lot of sheep raised locally, I don't know if the supply and marketing cooperative can do this?"

Zhang Jun said with a smile: "Try it first. If you don't try, how will you know if it will work?"

Zhang Chi said: "I think it's okay. The sheep here are much cheaper than in the Central Plains! A big sheep is only five hundred yuan. Recently, the army has settled in, and the price of sheep has increased, but it is only a regular price. In Luoyang, no matter how cheap a sheep is, , and you need to pay enough for one. The supply and marketing cooperative will lose money if it does this business."

Jiang Mincong said: "Marquis Yu, business matters cannot be calculated in this way. No matter how expensive Luoyang is, what's the use if the sheep can't be transported? The supply and marketing cooperatives have many joints to get through in this business. However, buying sheepskins will definitely work. .”

Wei Ren said: "For a while, it's hard for us to figure it out. How about it, this time I go back to Luoyang and ask someone from the supply and marketing cooperative to clarify."

Jiang Min nodded: "That's fine. Outsiders can't guess about this kind of thing. However, it's good that Qian Jue proposed this method. Everyone think about it again when you have time. Shizhou's mountains and rivers are broken, and this is the only way to go."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and said to Zhang Jun: "The people who moved here today have a wedding. The groom's officer has done his best for the army and sent me an invitation card. I have other things to do. Qian Jue can go for me."

Zhang Jun hastily agreed.

Dealing with the local people is the duty of the governor.It seems that Jiang Min is quite satisfied with Zhang Jun's performance, so he pushed this job to him.

(I haven’t updated it for several days, sorry. My new crown sequelae are very weird, brain fog lasts for a long time, and it has a great impact. I thought it was fine two days ago, but then something strange happened again. Suddenly my voice changed and I stuttered. At the same time, writing suddenly became a problem. Not only is it not the same handwriting as before, but it can’t be written completely, and it has become crooked. It finally got better today, and I updated it. Now I can’t guarantee when it will be stable, because The sequelae are really weird. It can only be said that if everything gets better, it will be updated stably.)
