Chapter 251 Gongsun Zan's Letter
At the same time that the establishment problem was almost resolved, the recruit training officially started.

Soldiers should also be educated as officers are educated.

Liu Bei used the "Infantry and Cavalry Exercise Code" compiled by himself as the blueprint for his military training, and began to conduct very strict and scientific training for the recruits, training the soldiers' physical fitness, formation, military formation, and basic culture.

Physical fitness takes long-distance running, obstacle running, and certain strength training as the main training methods.

Slogans, order flags, and the sound of drums and horns are the main training methods for queues and military formations.

The basic culture is based on familiarity with military regulations and military laws and the welfare and treatment regulations of the army. It stipulates that military laws in the barracks are like mountains, and no one is allowed to violate military laws.

In addition to strict rules and regulations, there are also quite generous daily welfare benefits for the army of this era.

For example, change two meals a day to three meals a day.

Usually, when stationed in the camp, they ate meat every three days, with one dry meal and two thin meals a day. During wartime, they could eat meat once a day, two dry meals and one thin meal.

During the march, thick pancakes were used as the main ration. Eggs were added to the noodles of the pancakes to increase nutrition, and each soldier distributed military pickles to accompany the food.

After entering the barracks, in addition to the regular military salary, all other expenses can also be waived.

Each person is given two sets of military suits free of charge every quarter, including all the clothes inside and outside, all of which are repaired and made by Liu Bei. If there are holes in the military uniform, they can be directly sent to the military logistics department for replacement or repair.

There is a free military medical camp in the army. Military doctors are hired by Liu Bei with high salaries in Sanhe and Luoyang City. If soldiers get sick, they can go directly to the military medical camp to see a doctor. cost.

Liu Bei also equipped the military medical battalion with a considerable number of "nurses". Learning simple cleaning, applying medicine, and bandaging skills from military doctors can play a big role.

There are many other benefits details.

For example, in hot summer, there is black bean and mung bean soup to drink, and each soldier can get two bowls every day.

There is a fuel subsidy for the cold winter, and every soldier can receive enough heating fuel to keep out the cold.

In addition, there are sick leave, family vacation and other holidays. If you apply in advance, you can arrange it by the logistics management department.

The benefits and benefits are all available, perfect to make the big soldiers dumbfounded.

Even some veterans who had never fought with Liu Bei were deeply moved, lamenting why they couldn't meet Liu Bei earlier and follow Liu Bei earlier. In that case, their life should be much better than it is now.

Zhen Yan once expressed concern about Liu Bei's establishment of so many welfare systems, saying that it would not only cost a lot, but also seemed unnecessary. Compared with this, he was more worried that Liu Bei's own living standards would decline.

Liu Bei shook his head.

"Soldiers can fight well if they eat well. If they fight well, Liangzhou can be good. Liangzhou is good, and big men can be good. Only in this way can I be good. If there is no such premise, no matter how extravagant my personal life is, how can I make my life better?" Am I happy? I just hate."

Zhen Yan was speechless.

If all the money, food and materials that the big guys collected for Liu Bei were really used on the army, plus the money and food for 2 people borne by the imperial court, then the army under Liu Bei's command would definitely become the one with the best treatment for the whole big man army.

And even if there is no income, it can last for quite a while.

It can only be said that after Liu Bei defeated all kinds of autumn winds, he was really very, very, very, very, very rich.

Liu Bei's recruitment plan and training plan were in full swing, and all the recruitment work was completed in mid-April of the third year of Zhongping. The army also underwent basic training for a period of time. After initially forming an army, he could follow Liu Bei into Liangzhou to take up his post.

During this period of time, Liu Bei received several letters.

The first is the letter from Lu Zhi. He was very worried when he learned that Liu Bei was going to serve as the shepherd of Liangzhou. Tips on being a state shepherd, teach Liu Bei how to be a state shepherd.

This is his experience as the state shepherd for almost a year, and he wrote seven or eight volumes of bamboo slips.

In the current period, Lu Zhi is the only state shepherd in the world. Lu Zhi's experience as a state shepherd is very valuable, and Liu Bei directly took over this experience, which is a bit of a big advantage.

After Liu Bei studied it carefully, he found it very rewarding, and planned to keep it in his collection and read it from time to time. Then, he wrote a reply letter to Lu Zhi, telling Lu Zhi not to worry. This matter had something to do with the Modern Literature School, but he After thinking about it carefully, I feel that it is not a bad idea to do so.

As long as he manages Liangzhou successfully, then when he returns to Luoyang, no one can stop him, and he thinks that Lu Zhi will return to Luoyang soon, when Luoyang will have a teacher, he will not worry about himself I can't go back to Luoyang.

Then came the letter of invitation.

In the letter, Qianzhao narrated how he missed Liu Bei, and expressed his willingness to come to help Liu Bei, and then he also obtained understanding from Lu Zhi, and only waited for Lu Zhi to finish the last thing. He resigned and rushed to Liangzhou.

I hope that by then, Liu Bei will still have his place under Liu Bei's command, and he will definitely do his best to help Liu Bei govern Liangzhou.

Liu Bei was very happy after reading the letter, and wrote a reply letter to Qianzhao, telling him not to worry, and to be more careful when he was on his way.

From the words and sentences in the letter, Liu Bei can almost feel that Zhuanzhao is indeed very anxious to come to Liangzhou. Thinking about it, he chose to follow Lu Zhi and become an official as soon as possible in order to make contributions and not leave Liu Bei too much behind. But who ever thought that Liu Bei would establish such a feat again?

Liu Bei felt that it must be very entangled to recruit during this period of time.

However, it is enough that the result is good. During this period of time, Qianzhao's administrative ability has been highly praised by Lu Zhi. Liu Bei's plan to govern Liangzhou in the future will not be able to do without the dedication of Qianzhao.

The third letter is a bit special. It comes from his good brother, Gongsun Zan. The content of the letter is that Gongsun Zan hopes that Liu Bei can help him find a breakthrough in his position, preferably a military position. vows like that.

The arrival of this letter made Liu Bei feel that Gongsun Zan might be facing some political difficulties. Otherwise, with Gongsun Zan's temper, he would never have taken the initiative to write a letter to him asking for help in this regard.

Although the two of them had said things like never to forget each other when we are rich, Gongsun Zan, with his machismo mentality, probably had complicated feelings when facing his younger ex-brother who once called him "big brother".

After thinking about it, Liu Bei wrote a reply letter to Gongsun Zan, expressing that he would help him deal with Luoyang and try to change him to the military position he wanted.

After all, Gongsun Zan had helped Liu Bei, and it was not difficult for Liu Bei to help him change positions, so Liu Bei was willing to help him, but Liu Bei felt that Gongsun Zan was not suitable to work with him, so the distance between the two should be slightly distanced A little is better.

Otherwise, I would be awkward, and so would Gongsun Zan.

So Liu Bei took some time to meet with Liang Hu, the selected minister of Shangshutai, and invited him to a meal, intending to chat with him about Gongsun Zan's job change.

PS: I ate Kang Shuaibo’s Braised Pork Rib Noodles with Scallions in the morning. I felt that the taste was so-so, but it was still not as good as the traditional Braised Beef Noodles. I felt very depressed, so I added another chapter.
