Infrastructure: I survive in troubled times

Chapter 292
Ye Yunyu stood up and solemnly blessed Fushen, "Sisters will not let brothers down."

"Mr. Cao, you are satisfied with our arrangement." Ye Yunyu looked at Cao Huaimin with clear and bright eyes, and then said coquettishly, "Speaking of which, Mr. Cao, don't be angry, you are too old and too young. Dividing the land is also a difficult thing.”

"We will also help out." Chen Zhongyuan said immediately after hearing the words.

Cao Huaimin shook his head and laughed, "Thank you brothers first."

"You guys sit down first." Hong Lianshuo raised his head slightly and looked at Chen Zhongyuan and the others.

Chen Zhongyuan bowed his hands and said, "I hope Mrs. Hong can agree."

"It's uncomfortable to sit and talk with your head up like this." Hong Lianshuo looked up at them and said, "Listen to me about this matter."

Chen Zhongyuan sat down in a hurry, Jiang Shuisheng and the others also sat down again.

"You have forgotten that we are now a unit of soldiers and farmers." Hong Lianshuo looked at them angrily and said, "We have a small land now, and the land is planted just like the plow and hoe used to be plowed by horses. Go into battle and return the pellets to the warehouse as soon as possible, so that people can rest assured."

"I want to pick ears of wheat too." Hong Wangyue said childishly.

"Yes!" Hong Lianshuo was taken aback when he heard the words, then smiled and rubbed his head.

"From now on! Count the garrison places. They need to help the widowed and lonely old people, carry water, chop firewood, and plant land." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with deep and clear eyes and said, "We also need to take care of the family members of the same robe, so that they have no worries. It is an honor to serve in the military."

Lin Nanzheng looked at her in astonishment, the brothers still followed her with all their hearts!High, really high!
"Is there any objection to this?" Hong Lianshuo looked at them with warm eyes like jade and said.

"It's gone, it's gone." Chen Zhongyuan looked at her foolishly and smiled.

"Then let's go!" Hong Lianshuo stood up and looked at them and said.

"Hey!" The hula-la people dispersed at once, Sixi and the others carried the straw mats and put them in the gatehouse of the city guard.

"Let's go back!" Hong Lianshuo put his son on the horse's back and led the horse along the cobbled official road.

"This official road pavement is much more comfortable to walk on." Chen Zhongyuan said with a smile, "I'm looking forward to heavy rain now, so let's test the effect of this road pavement?"

"I feel confident about it." Cao Huaimin said very proudly, "After precise calculations, the brothers have been honest and rammed the raised place over and over again. In case of landslides, there are still cobblestones piled on both sides. "

"Understood, Mr. Cao is an expert." Lin Nanzheng smiled lightly and shook his head.

"Are you walking with bare feet?" Hong Lianshuo looked at them with eyes like black jade and asked with concern, "Especially those who wear straw sandals, their foundations are thin."

"It's okay! The pebbles are a bit big, not particularly broken." Jiang Shuisheng looked down at the straw sandals on his feet, and suddenly exclaimed, "Ah! That's right."

"Just say anything, you are so frightening to death." Chen Zhongyuan tilted his head slightly and looked at him and said.

"Seeing that the weather is getting cold, let's have these clothes! We have them, stuffed with some flying catkins to keep out the cold." Jiang Shuisheng grinned happily to the bottom of his ears, "Plus this year there is a kang, so winter is not so difficult. But what about our feet? We can’t wear straw sandals all the time!”

"Isn't this barracks issuing boots?" Hong Lianshuo looked at them with raised eyebrows and asked.

"Boots are only worn by high-ranking generals, we ordinary soldiers are not qualified." Sixi snorted coldly with her mouth flattened.

"How did you spend the winter?" Hong Lianshuo looked at them in disbelief and asked again.

"Wooden shoes, stuff some hay." Chen Zhongyuan frowned slightly with his caterpillar-like eyebrows, "Haven't you worn them?"

"Oh! I'm wearing straw sandals." Hong Lianshuo said without blushing and out of breath, but he wasn't lying, that's how the natives wore them.

"Do those wooden shoes fit your feet? How are you going to train?" Hong Lianshuo looked at them with raised eyebrows and asked.

"The training will be reduced in winter." Jiang Shuisheng looked at her with dark eyes and said seriously.

"Will you send troops in winter?" Hong Lianshuo suddenly looked at them curiously and asked.

"We are located in the north. It is too cold to drop water in winter. There are not many soldiers. If you freeze to death, you will have to pay for it." Chen Zhongyuan looked at her and said with his caterpillar-like eyebrows lightly. Said it was something to avoid."

"Then this will buy us time to recuperate." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with bright eyes and said.

"Yeah!" Han Qinhu nodded hurriedly when he heard the words, "This winter march will naturally be hindered by the snowstorm. The snow will not only affect the march of the soldiers, but also cause difficulties in the transportation of food supplies. "

"Will the Hu soldiers from the north attack again?" Sixi asked worriedly.

"Normally not. The cold weather itself is a great hindrance. They cherish people more than us." Lin Nanzheng suppressed the smile on his face and looked at them and said seriously, "Unless the snowstorm on the grassland forces them to We had to go south to grab food to tide over the difficulties."

"Then bless the grassland to be warmer, don't come here." Jiang Shuisheng put his hands together and prayed to God.

Although winter is indeed a big problem, for the current generals, it is not that if they want to fight in winter, they can not fight in winter.

Therefore, it has become a very important thing to solve the negative impact of the cold on the war.

For fighting in winter, there are two problems to be dealt with. The first is how to ensure stable logistics; the second is how to keep the soldiers warm.

In fact, the former is much easier than the latter.

The most difficult thing is how to keep warm.

Before the rise of cotton in ancient times, the traditional textile industry was mainly based on silk and hemp.

As a means of keeping out the cold, most people now use animal skins or linen wrapped in silk to make quilts and cold-proof clothes.

However, the low output of these two has been a problem that has been difficult to solve for a long time. Therefore, silk has always been an important part of the tax in kind collected from farmers in ancient times.The purpose is to ensure the supply of the government and the army.

But even so, it is still difficult to maintain a military presence in areas with high northern dimensions for a long time.

Therefore, the actual control area of ​​the Central Plains Dynasty rarely exceeds the Liaodong area in the north, which is too cold.

Because the planting of cotton was promoted on a large scale, and the actual control area of ​​the Central Plains Dynasty rose from the military cold protection, it expanded to the north on a large scale.

Cotton!How long will it take for this to come!Hong Lianshuo is very eager for cotton now, but he is only eager. The Maritime Silk Road is underdeveloped.
