Ming Zuo

Chapter 612 Dress Up
The dragon has nine sons, good and bad.

Compared with Hou Xun and Hou Ke, Hou Wei, Hou Shu, and Hou Li really don't have much talent.

After moving to Shandong with Hou Zhipu, they could only start as low-level officials.

After a few years, after the assessment by the personnel department, the evaluation of them is... mediocre.

He is very diligent in doing things, but his ability is average.

Such a person can just mess around at the grassroots level, and has no future.

Suo Xing Hou's family is extraordinary, and Hou Xun still exists, but it will be rich and long-lasting.

Hou Shu is a small section chief of the Linqing Civil Affairs Bureau. He has no hope of promotion and is busy with work.Anyway, I have something to do, compared to the state of doing nothing in the past, I am more contented.

The only thing he can't accept is his wife Zhan Jiangmei.

There is no doubt that the woman who can marry into the Hou family is not bad in terms of knowledge.

The couples are interesting and there is always a stark contrast.

If one party is weak, the other must be strong.

Hou Shu has a gentle character who can't beat a fart with three sticks, but Zhan Jiangmei is much stronger.

After coming to Shandong, she felt the ethos of women's liberation here, seeing Xu Ruolin, Wang Xiuqin and other women doing things in a hurry and making extraordinary achievements, Zhan Jiangmei couldn't sit still.

She took the initiative to walk out of the house and joined the work.

In this era, there are fewer people who can read and write, and even fewer women who can read and write.

Zhan Jiangmei has a strong personality, works hard, and has a lot of means, so she quickly stands out from the crowd, and her promotion is a matter of course.

Just when he thought that he was still the head of the small section, but his wife became the head of the bureau, Hou Shu felt that the future was dark.

Like the five Hou Xun brothers, the five Hou Fangyu brothers are also different.

Especially his elder brother Hou Fanglai, who was a mess in his studies, and he didn't even pass the exam for a scholar.

For this reason, Hou Xun lost count of how many times he got angry, and even took the time to teach in person, but he just didn't see any progress in his studies.

After a long time, and seeing Hou Fangyu's literary talent and extraordinary talent, Hou Xun also gave up on Hou Fanglai.

Hou Fanglai also knew that he had let his father down, and was very depressed for a long time.But he is not a seedling of studying, so he has no choice but to work hard.

At a time of confusion and distress, it happened that the new army recruited soldiers.

Hou Fanglai gritted his teeth, thinking that if he was not good at literature, could it be that he was not good at martial arts?
He signed up for the new army.

When Hou Xun found out, he was already a soldier in the new army.

After that, Hou Fanglai participated in several battles one after another.

Like Shen Xun, there are very few people in the army who understand culture like him.Therefore, he is always much faster than others in learning fighting skills and fighting techniques.

There are no absolute idiots in this world, only talents in the wrong place.

Hou Fanglai failed in his studies, but became a soldier like a fish in water.

After only three years in the army, he has grown from an ordinary soldier to a company-level officer.

Now he is the regimental officer of the [-]nd Regiment of the [-]th Brigade of the Eighth Division.

It just so happened that the [-]nd regiment was transferred to Linqing recently, and Hou Fanglai hadn't come home for a long time, so he asked for leave to reunite with his family.

However, there were many tasks in the army, and his vacation was only three days, so he had to rush back.

Today is a big day for the Forty-Second Regiment.

Because their regiment will become the first unit in the army to replace the new uniform.

As soon as Hou Fanglai came back to report, he was called to the regiment headquarters.When he got here, he realized that Zuo Menggeng had also come.

Not only Zuo Menggeng came, but Huang Zongxi, Liu Yiyuan, Zhang Yan, Wang Xiuqin and other military leaders were all here.

Recently, the war has subsided, and all the departments of the new army are resting. Zuo Menggeng is also rare to be leisurely, and begins to pay attention to the internal construction of the army.

Of course, he must carefully supervise such a major event as changing the whole army.

"Are all the uniforms in place?"

Wang Xiuqin hurriedly said: "It was delivered yesterday, and it can be delivered at any time."

Zuo Menggeng smiled and said: "Minister Wang's ability to handle affairs is really reassuring."

Wang Xiuqin chuckled, not thinking it was a compliment.

"Your Commander instructs us to be like donkeys, who of us dares to neglect?"

A group of high-ranking generals laughed loudly, making the young people around them envious.

When will they be able to talk and laugh like the boss?

Zuo Menggeng looked at Ma Yunfeng, the well-behaved quail-like head of the Forty-two Regiment.

"Let's just take a look. You can handle the distribution of military uniforms yourself."

Ma Yunfeng quickly stood up.

"Yes."

He found Hou Fanglai and ordered: "Officer Hou, send the order down, and the whole regiment gathers."

In just one stick of incense, more than [-] members of the [-]nd Regiment gathered on the school grounds.

The whole regiment already knew about the change of military uniform.The soldiers talked a lot, looking forward to the appearance of the new uniform.

Seeing a group of bigwigs watching the ceremony, Ma Yunfeng was not usually nervous.He took several deep breaths in a row.In order to stand firmly on the podium.

"This time the whole army will be replaced with new military uniforms, and our regiment is the first. What is this? This is the recognition of us by the headquarters..."

Huang Zongxi couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

"This Ma Yunfeng really knows how to pull a tiger's skin and pull a big flag. Let them be the first to change, just because their regiment is in Linqing."

Zuo Menggeng watched it with relish.

"Such a speech is very good. It can stimulate everyone's morale and sense of honor. This shows that Ma Yunfeng is very capable and is a good seed to be a political commissar."

Huang Zongxi shook his head and said with pride, "He has to work harder to reach my level."

While the bosses were chatting and laughing, the distribution of military uniforms had already begun.

Beside Ma Yunfeng and others, new military uniforms have already piled up like a mountain.The soldiers lined up and stepped forward one by one to receive their belongings.

But when they received it, everyone was shocked.

It's not that something is bad.

But there are too many things.

This time the military uniform was changed, along with all supporting items.

Each soldier will receive two sets of uniforms, two sets of training uniforms, a pair of leather shoes, two pairs of training shoes, and a pair of combat boots.A new-style backpack, a set of new-style tactical straps and two new-style belts.

Among them, what Zuo Menggeng is most proud of is the training shoes.

Considering the daily training of soldiers, shoes have the highest degree of wear and tear.Combat boots are all made of full leather, which are expensive, and the cost for daily training is too high, and they are not suitable for daily training.

So Zuo Menggeng thought about it and came up with a new style of training shoes.

This kind of training shoes is made of canvas as the surface and leather as the bottom, which are mixed together.Soft and comfortable.The cost is cheap, and it is more conducive to the training and use of recruits.

But people in later generations will be surprised if they see it.

Isn't this Jiefang shoes?
