Chapter 328 Yangma Island Recruit Training Camp
Spicy prawns are counted before cooking, two per person.

After distributing it, everyone's mouths were full of oil, and their hands were covered with shrimp red. delicious.

"Is it delicious?" the secretary asked.

"It's delicious, it's so delicious, it's the first time I've eaten such a delicious thing when I grow up."

"Smell, it's so fragrant, it feels like it's already flying."

The strong men said one after another.

"Master Chai, I don't need you to repay you for taking care of your food and drink, but you need to work hard. When you get to the place, everyone except the elderly and children who have no ability to work will have to work hard. Cultivate the land, Build a house. Those who work hard will have three or four hundred cash per month after three months, or even regular money for one month. Those who don’t work hard will still have two hundred cash per month. If they cheat, they can even be fired. Get rid of it and fend for yourself."

The strong men were both happy and scared. The happy thing is that as long as they work hard and don't be lazy, they will be able to eat, clothe and raise their wages.What I'm afraid of is that if I get lazy and get driven out to fend for myself, on a lonely island, wouldn't that be a dead end?
"Don't worry, only a fool would be lazy." A 16-year-old boy said.

Three days later, the fleet finally arrived at Yangma Island, the pier was full of gongs and drums, and Wu Yong led the suona team to welcome the newcomers.

The strong men were all stunned. This is not an imaginary deserted island. There are tall gantry cranes and huge warehouses everywhere on the pier.Behind the pier are various shops, restaurants, and restaurants. Is this clearly a clean and tidy city? Everywhere is clean and tidy, and the houses are brand new and the roads are spacious.

The rice fields not far away have been harvested, and now they are covered with rapeseed. Because they were planted too densely, they are now being thinned out to make vegetables.

Some of the dry land grows wheat, and some grow green milk vetch green manure.

Those with families will live as families, and those without families will live in single dormitories.There used to be only men's dormitories, but now there are women's dormitories. Hundreds of single women and men work together to open up wasteland on the construction site. After a long time, a few couples will be matched.

Four times a month, there are about 500 people departing from the Dinghai Port Wharf each time.Now it is different from the past. In the past, Yangma Island was a barren land with poor living conditions and insufficient food.It is different now, the infrastructure is in place, and the conditions for survival are preliminarily met, so you are allowed to come with your family on a voluntary basis and settle on the island, which will lead to more long-term peace and stability.

In the Korean pine forest farm, today Li Kui led [-] infantry to cut down miscellaneous trees with a breast height of less than one foot in the middle of the mountain.Soldiers use saws and axes to cut down trees very quickly.The only thing is that it is more troublesome to put together, and the trunk is heavy, and it often requires five or six people to work together to drag it.

At the foot of the mountain is the land reclamation army led by Wu Yong. There are 3000 people in this area alone. The soil here is sandy, and the dry land for planting sweet potatoes and peanuts is reclaimed.

It is strictly forbidden to use fire in the woods. Li Kui's field kitchen is at the foot of the mountain, less than 200 meters away from the kitchens of the strong men.

With his arms akimbo, Wu Yong looked at the sun leisurely and contentedly. Now that he is highly valued, he is in charge of military and civilian affairs on such a large island. up.

"Ming Jin, eat." Wu Yong said.

"Yes." The assistant rang the bell for dismissal.

The strong men are already hungry, and reclaiming wasteland is a very tiring job. There is no excavator or tractor, and all rely on manpower and animal power.

Everyone rushed over, washed their hands and faces, and prepared to eat according to their respective centurions.

"What's for lunch today? What kind of food?" the young man in front asked the cook.

The cook said: "Rice porridge, pancakes, stewed tofu with rapeseed, and fried bean sprouts."

"Why are these dishes still there? I haven't eaten meat for a long time." Zhuang Ding said.

The captain said: "I think you have eaten too much good food, and you are starting to be picky. The rice is freshly beaten rice, and the rice porridge is fragrant. The pancakes are freshly made sorghum noodle pancakes. Rapeseed and bean sprouts are delicious. They are oily and delicious. You didn’t lose the salt, right? The rich man in the countryside has this standard of living.”

The strong man said: "Captain, don't be angry, I don't mean to complain at all, I like to eat all these dishes, but you look at the other side."

The strong man pointed to the light infantry camp not far away.

The camp over there is also eating. This group of soldiers is eating potatoes stewed with ribs and rice.

"Yesterday they ate stewed fish with yellow mushrooms, and today they ate stewed pork ribs with potatoes. They are doing the same job, so there is a big gap." Zhuang Ding said.

The soldier on the opposite side heard it, and deliberately showed off: "You are wrong, today there are not only pork ribs, but also spicy prawns, look at how big these prawns are, and they are so long that they are sold in restaurants for 38 yuan each. Haha, you are all hungry."

The captain smiled and said, "I thought it was nothing, it was decided like this. They are soldiers, we are strong men, it's different."

"I also want to eat something so good."

"Then you can ask Mr. Wu."

Everyone's voices attracted Wu Yong's attention, and Wu Yong came over and asked, "What's the noise? But there's something wrong with the food?"

Although Wu Yong laughed all day long and seldom got angry, no one dared to act recklessly because of his high position and authority.

The captain said: "Go back to Director Wu, there is nothing wrong. The food is very good, but the food in the infantry battalion opposite is so good that some strong men don't understand."

Wu Yong said with a smile: "This question has been said more than once before. There is an essential difference between a soldier and a strong man. Being a soldier is not only better than the strong man's food, but he also gets more money. The monthly salary is [-] Wen, and he is often rewarded. Paddy fields, they were rewarded with hundreds of acres of paddy fields just a few days ago."

Wow, everyone was shocked.There is more money, and paddy fields are also rewarded.They know this paddy field. The climate of Yangma Island is suitable. If you want to, you can plant double crops of rice. If you want to save trouble, you can plant one crop of rice and one crop of rape, and the harvest is quite good.

"However, to be a soldier is to work hard, and to be a strong man is to work hard. We don't impose restrictions. Anyone who has worked for more than three months, who is above or under 30 years old, can sign up for selection. military pay." Wu Yong said.

"Okay, great, great. We are going to participate in the selection." Some strong men are eager to try.

Wu Yong said: "Everyone can work with peace of mind. Those who dare to slack off at work are not allowed to participate in the selection. There is a monthly selection opportunity, and if you pass it, you can serve as a soldier. But you must be clear, being a soldier requires fighting. Strong men are much harder and more dangerous."

"Okay, we got it."

A few days later, the strong men recruited three months ago were selected.

When the barracks were designed, they were very huge. The soldiers’ dormitories were all two-story buildings. The first floor was for accommodation and sleeping, and the second floor was for canteens, activity rooms, etc.

The newly selected soldiers belong to the Yangma Island recruit training camp and are not under Li Kui's jurisdiction.It is directly under the headquarters and arranged for Wu Yong to manage it. Chai Lin mobilized 2000 veterans from the pro-barracks to assist.The new barracks only trains soldiers, regardless of the types of arms. It mainly conducts basic physical training, formation formation, swords, guns, bows and arrows.Usually three to five months, maybe three to five years. Anyway, once it is time to use troops, the battalion leaders will send people to select soldiers, and they will go to whichever battalion they like.

Just when Chai Lin was busy recruiting strong men and concentrating on hollowing out Qingzhou, the general situation of the world has undergone tremendous changes.

This day, Chai Lin was handling military affairs in Baihutang, and his own soldiers came to report: "Master Chai, Master Qin has arrived, and I have urgent business with you."

"Oh, Master Qin, please come in. Forget it, I'll go and meet you."

Chai Lin brought Dian Zhengnan and Xie Bao to meet Master Qin at the gate of the camp.

Master Qin brought two entourages, but they didn't ride horses, so they should have come in a carriage from the Four Seas Car Co., Ltd.

"It's too polite to trouble Chai Tuanlian to greet you at the door," Master Qin said.

Chai Lin said: "Master Qin is too polite,
