Traveling through the Three Kingdoms: She brings unlimited supplies to build infrastructure

Chapter 141 White Sugar
In order to ensure the combat effectiveness and control of the army, and out of his intolerance for the soldiers who would surely step onto the battlefield and bleed and sweat, Gongsun Yan has been doing his best to support the soldiers after stabilization.

In the past, such a team would fight during wartime and farm and reclaim wasteland during non-wartime. It was normal to have two meals of porridge and water mixed with wheat shavings in the morning and evening.

Occasionally, it is good to have seasoned vinegar cloth and dried mulberries in a meal of porridge.

Like now, three meals a day are salted beans and wheat mixed with broken rice and dry rice to satisfy one's hunger. Every now and then, there is a spoonful of meat sauce dipped in some meat.

This is something that most soldiers would never dare to imagine.

Even Baima Yicong, who could get the best supplies under Gongsun Zan's account, couldn't imagine it, let alone the subordinates who originally had a lowly status in the manor.

After a period of running-in, although there were still invisible levels of cavalry and infantry, they were suppressed by military orders and there were no incidents of bullying or fighting.

Logs were erected to siege the city and the military stronghold was built. Behind the rammed earth schoolyard, which was large enough for horse racing, was the living area for the soldiers.

In addition to several newly built log longhouses, they were used as temporary camps and meeting places for officers, as well as storage of military supplies.

The rest of the soldiers are still living in cloth tents for the time being, and they will only start building the walls of Guzhu Manor after the walls are built.

Behind the living area is a hot spring nest.

After the drill, the weapons and armor were returned to each commander for safekeeping. During the rest period, the soldiers put on their military uniforms, found the yellow soap and cloth towels issued by the army in the camp, and came to the valley with hot springs.

In the woods next to the valley, leather ropes were pulled everywhere, and military uniforms of the same style were dried on them.

With the construction of the treasury and the village wall, more and more villagers joined in, and Gongsun Yan had more supplies on hand.

As the weather gets hotter, Ling Zhibuqu and Guzhu's Buqu were already ragged and not afraid of the heat.

But Bai Ma Yicong can no longer wear the military coat on his body.

According to the style and basic black color that Gongsun Yan had previously selected, each soldier was given two changes of single clothes, trousers, and robes from the inside out.

They are all made of fabric that is resistant to stains and beatings, and the outer robe has dark patterns.

In addition to clothes and pants, pure cotton linings, trousers, socks, etc. are all distributed.

In the hot spring nest behind the military camp, there would often be soldiers walking around naked in trousers, drying their washed clothes.

They are all rough guys and there is nothing to avoid.

A hot spring pool surrounded by a green curtain, bursts of laughter could be heard from time to time.

Among them, the one who laughed the loudest was Zhang Ze, who came specially to see the joke after training the soldiers.

Compared to the carefully built pond in the main house, this place is much rougher.

There is mud next to the pool, and the spring water is a little turbid due to the sweat and dirt of many people, with some unknown small objects floating in it.

But none of this was noticed by Zhang Ze. He sat arm-in-arm with a few people in the pool and listened to the description of how He Zhou returned to the camp with a bruised nose and a swollen face.

"When I saw that boy come back with a bruised face and a bruised face, he came to me to ask for the food and wages I had stored for him. I wondered what had happened."

It was Ding Li who was sitting in the pool and narrating with emotion.

He told this interesting story from last night to today, and everyone in the military camp knew about it, and he still didn't give up.

Wave after wave of people came to watch He Zhou being beaten up.

"Speaking of which, where is that boy from Hezhou?" Zhang Ze rubbed some water on his body. He didn't see the person in question, so it was still a little less fun.

"Early in the morning, I took my food and wages and went to find a way to exchange for candy."

"Give you."

He Zhou held an oiled paper bag in his hand and stood in front of the Ma family's courtyard. He stubbornly handed the paper bag to Ah Tang who was standing behind the fence.

Because it was Xiumu and not for business, He Zhou didn't ride a horse and walked for an hour and a half to Ma's house.

Fortunately, he knew the way when he was ordered to invite the Ma family and his son to a banquet last time.

The Ma family father and son were reorganized into the east camp. Yesterday they performed the task of guarding the east city. Today they are still in the camp and not at home.

This allowed He Zhou to stand calmly at the door of Ma's courtyard with a wounded face and speak.

The Ma family and his son also had some interactions with He Zhou during the mission and knew that he would not give up just like this.

Ask someone to bring a message and ask Mother A-Tang to keep an eye on A-Tang and not let He Zhou in.

Mother Ah Tang did receive the message, but she obviously had other ideas. The smiling expression when she looked at He Zhou was obviously in a different state of mind from the Ma family father and son.

For example, at this time, although He Zhou was indeed not allowed in, he didn't care what he said through the fence.Sitting under the tree, mending clothes in the light of day, with his head lowered and his face serious, but from time to time he missed a stitch or two in his work.

Ah Tang stood behind the fence with his hands behind his back, his head also lowered, his toes tapping on the dirt, rubbing gently.

"Here you go." He Zhou handed over the thing in his hand again, and put his hand through the gap in the wooden fence, directly under Ah Tang's eyes.

"Let's go quickly." Ah Tang's voice was as thin as a mosquito. She quickly looked back at her mother, who was sewing under the jujube tree, and then quickly turned back.

"I don't want such expensive things."

He Zhou's shoulders slumped, showing a frustrated look.

Is it because she doesn't accept him because she really doesn't like him?

Thinking about it, his face, which was still bruised, showed deep disappointment.

The first time he saw Ah Tang running into his arms, he fell in love with her.

Just one glance made him want to rip his heart out and give it to her.

However, she seemed to keep her head hanging down, refusing to even raise her eyes to look at him once.

Is it because he hurt her?

He Zhou felt remorseful in his heart. Uncle Ding had told him long ago that he would definitely suffer a big loss because of his irritable temper.

Last time, he missed the opportunity to become Captain Zhao's personal entourage, and this time, he missed the girl he fell in love with at first sight.

If he had known this, he would definitely change it.

Li Ding didn't know that two years of hard words and earnest teachings were worse than falling out of love once.

If he knew it, he would probably be angry again.

He Zhou here was very depressed, and he glanced at Ah Tang who refused to raise his head.

The mud near Ah Tang's feet made her toes rub impatiently into a small dimple.

"Take it." He Zhou looked disappointed, retracted his hand, and stuck the candy wrapper in his hand in the gap in the fence.

"I, I won't bother you again." After saying this, He Zhou felt his unpromising nose sore.

After saying that, he no longer dared to look at Ah Tang and turned around to leave.

He came out early in the morning and prayed for a long time to manage the military resources in the army.

The manager only thought that this would break the military's material management regulations and he would lose his head, so he refused to change it.

Later, I really felt sorry for him, so I took him to find a man who worked in the treasury and had work points, and exchanged one month's salary for such a bag of sugar.

After much trouble, he walked for an hour or two before arriving at Ma's house. At this time, his trouser legs were still stained with green grass liquid from the mountains.

He Zhou walked a few steps, suppressing the sourness in his heart, thinking that he would be laughed at if he returned to camp.

At this time, the door of Ma's courtyard was heard creaking, and footsteps were chasing him out.

He turned around hesitantly and felt a paper bag being stuffed in his hand.

"I don't want anything from you." Ah Tang put the candy-wrapped paper bag into He Zhou's hand.

He Zhou felt a swell of pain in his heart. Do you hate him so much?

My eyes are sore and I'm about to burst into tears.

But Ah Tang continued: "It's too expensive, I don't want it."

"But... I have to go to the camp in the afternoon to participate in the labor recruitment. I can change it myself later."

"Dad, Daddy, and A Chong won't be here this afternoon, can you send me there?"

"Ah?" He Zhou raised his face blankly, and the eyeballs in his eyes flicked onto Ah Tang's hand and broke into pieces.

Seeing him like this, Ah Tang couldn't help laughing.

"Fool."

(When I crawled back to write, my brain felt like it was blocked.)
