Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 426 Checking the Vegetable Shed

Li Kui said: "I'll listen to your sophistry. If you make sense, I will forgive you."

Li Zhengou said: "I have always had the problem of drinking and eating meat, and I don't go often, three or four times a month. I used to go, and every time I paid, it was not bad."

"That's right, why have I been short of money in the past few months?"

"My brother's child was sleeping at night, accidentally knocked over the oil lamp, burned the house, and injured people, and spent a lot of money on medical treatment. I wrote to ask for help, and I gave the bonus and several months of military pay to him. I lost my brother, and I have no money. That’s why this happened. I promised the boss that I would give it to him in a few months, but I didn’t say no. Who knew that the boss betrayed me. " Li Zhengou said.

The military master Gongsun next to him said: "Check the record of him getting a little money from the post."

"Yes."

This is very fast, the clerk turned over the book and checked it carefully.

"I found it, Li Zhengou, two months ago, five taels of silver, plus four copper coins." The clerk said.

Li Kui nodded and said: "Okay, although the name is Zhengou, but Zhengou is loyal and took out all his wives for my brother."

"My name is Gouqigou. I made a mistake when I registered. I wondered, which dog is not a dog, so I just called it that way." Li Zhengou said.

Military Master Gongsun waved his hand and said, "Go down first, train hard, and try to change your drinking habits. You haven't married a wife yet, drinking too much can't give birth to a baby."

"Ah, Sergeant, are you serious?"

"Of course, alcohol is very harmful to the body."

Li Zhengou was terrified. There are three types of unfilial piety, and the greatest thing is to have no offspring. Drinking too much can't give birth to a baby. It's too scary.

Li Kui said: "Military division, now that the truth is revealed, should we not be punished?"

Gongsun Sheng said: "I will immediately send someone to visit the house. If the situation is true, we will activate our relief fund and provide appropriate help. If the situation is not true, then he will be punished severely."

"Ah, it took more than a thousand miles to go back and forth. When did this happen?" Li Kui said.

Gongsun Sheng said: "Our Cangzhou army hides a dragon and a crouching tiger. Pass on Ma Ling."

"Yes."

After a while, Ma Ling from the second intelligence office came.

Gongsun Sheng took Li Zhengou's information and said: "This soldier, you go to visit his home to see if his family has really suffered a disaster. If it is true, remember to give his family a subsidy of five taels of silver."

"Okay, military division, go right away."

Marling set off.

Li Kui asked there: "Brother Military Advisor, I heard that Ma Ling can travel thousands of miles a day and eight hundred nights?"

Gongsun Sheng stared: "How did you learn the secrecy regulations? I think you want to close the small black room too."

"No, no, just pretend I didn't say anything." Li Kui didn't want to close the little black room.

Gongsun Sheng visited several nearby proprietresses who had half-closed their doors. These proprietresses were so enthusiastic that the director of the company almost lost his job at the end of the festival, so he hurried out in fright.

Li Kui's battalion is generally not bad, not as bad as imagined.

Gongsun Sheng praised: "It is good to have a high military salary, at least you won't go out to eat without money."

Gongsun Sheng rushed to the field with his soldiers, who asked, "Military Master, where are we going now?"

"Go to the vegetable shed in the bombing camp. Each battalion has a winter vegetable shed assisted by the headquarters logistics. Whether the vegetable shed is managed well or not is the most important detail."

Gongsun Sheng took a few soldiers, and soon came to the vegetable shed of the bombing camp, covering an area of ​​150 mu, with a total of [-] vegetable sheds.

"Stop, what are you doing?" Gongsun Sheng was stopped by the sentinel on duty.

The soldiers went over and took out the verification materials and waist badges.

The sentinel was taken aback. It was the headquarters who sneaked in to check, and quickly let it go.

Gongsun Sheng went in and walked straight in, and went in when he reached No. 25 vegetable shed.

This vegetable shed is really not small, covering an area of ​​one mu, and there is a canal in the vegetable shed.

It was bitterly cold outside, but warm as spring inside, with coal burning in the large cast-iron stove.

Cucumbers are grown here, and the tall shelves are climbed so high that they are covered with cucumbers of all sizes.

A Huotou army in his 30s was picking vegetables with two or so soldiers.

Gongsun Sheng asked: "Old Huochang, how many vegetable sheds do you have for 100 people?"

The old man Jun had good eyesight, saw that this was from the headquarters, and immediately saluted: "Report to the military division, we have three vegetable sheds."

Gongsun Sheng said: "You still pick your vegetables, let's talk while working, I will find out the situation when I get down, and see if the brothers can eat well and eat well."

This Huotou army is familiar with him, after all, he is old, and he has never seen any storms.

Talking eloquently, he said: "There is nothing to say about the food now. I have lived for half my life, and this is the first year I have seen a greenhouse that can grow vegetables in winter. There is nothing to say about the food. 100 people and three acres of vegetable land are about the same. Yes, we grow cucumbers, beans, peppers, leeks, etc. There are also Chinese cabbage, white radish, potatoes, and vermicelli in stock. In the cold weather, we can have pork and cabbage stewed vermicelli, which is a beauty.”

Gongsun Sheng checked the vegetable garden carefully, and it was not bad overall.There is also a small piggery next to the vegetable garden nursing room, in which there are actually ten big fat pigs, each of which weighs more than 200 catties.

Gongsun Sheng asked: "This pig is so big, why don't you kill it?"

Huotoujun said: "A total of fifteen pigs were raised, and five were killed one after another to improve their lives. The captain of these ten pigs was reluctant to let them be killed, because recently the headquarters supplied a large number of offal pigs, with pig heads and feet, every now and then. Eat. Battalion Commander Li said that all teams are not allowed to kill pigs, and save them for spring when the supply is difficult."

"I see."

During this period of time, Chaijiazhuang was processing a large amount of bacon and ham, and the amount of slaughtered pigs was very large, and most of the pig heads supplied were thrown into the water.

In spring, there are mostly piglets, and the spring is warm, so it is difficult to transport pork, so each camp has to rely on itself to supplement meat.

Gongsun Sheng visited more than a dozen vegetable sheds, and they managed them well.The sanitation and cleaning of the pig house is also in place. To judge the level of management of an army, one has to look at their vegetable garden. If the vegetable garden is attentive, it shows that the managers really put their heart into it.

However, the vegetable garden is really not the credit of Li Kui. There is a special document management in charge of logistics. In short, the vegetables are grown well and the pigs are well raised.On the morning of the third day, Ma Ling came back.

Gongsun Sheng, Li Kui and Ma Ling were all in the camp.

Gongsun Sheng asked, "How is the investigation going?"

"The situation is basically true. Li Zhengou's brother's house was on fire, the house was missing, and his nephew's leg was burned. Fortunately, Li Zhengou's parents still have a good house, so there is no place to live." Ma Ling said.

Gongsun Sheng said: "Brother Ma Ling has worked hard, the pommel horse is tired all the way, go down and rest."

Ma Ling cupped his fists to leave, and Li Kui said, "This time the matter is finally cleared up."

Gongsun Sheng nodded, and said: "The trouble is clear. But discipline rectification must continue. Listen to lectures every night to let everyone understand the importance of discipline. Without steel discipline, an iron army cannot be built."
