Chapter 209

After Bai Jinxiu left, Jiang Chuan took people to the recruit camp to inspect the training of the recruits.

The teaching team headed by Guan Hu and Su Dingfang has now become the cradle of model instructors in the new barracks.The original 30 people have completed the training according to the training outline set up by Jiang Chuan, and most of them have been assigned to various teams to serve as team leaders, that is, the actual officers in charge of training.

Then each team is still continuously selecting and training pacesetters to join the teaching team. After short training, they will return to the original unit to serve as the chief and assist the team leader in training.

In this way, a steady stream of instructors were trained, and the training progress of the entire new barracks was greatly accelerated.

From Jiang Chuan's point of view, apart from the different military uniforms and lack of the modern weapons of the previous life, the recruits in front of them are not inferior to the army of the previous life in terms of spirit and orderliness.

"I think it's time for them to start firecracker training." Jiang Chuan nodded to Ran Wu, who was accompanying him, as he watched the intense training on the field of the senior colonel.

"My lord, but no one in our army is familiar with how to use and train firecrackers, and how to maintain firearms." Ran Wu asked a question.

"You, are you still worried about not having silver flowers in Baoshan?" Jiang Chuan said with a smile.

"My lord, what do you mean?" Ran Wu didn't understand for a moment.

"We don't understand, but there are people who understand. Many of the prisoners of the Ming army know how to use firecrackers. Don't forget that the proportion of firecrackers in the Ming army is very high. Since we plan to allocate and recruit prisoners, Then pick out those who know how to use firecrackers as the first batch of recruits, and let them join the new barracks, as recruits and as instructors of firecrackers, isn't this the best of both worlds?" Jiang Chuan said with a smile .

When Ran Wu heard this, he suddenly understood: "My lord's words are very true, this is indeed a good way."

"The idea is given to you. You have to find a way to improve the specific details. In short, my request is that before the offensive launches next spring, all these recruits must form combat effectiveness. And all the prisoners must be reorganized." Jiang Chuan turned his head and looked Ran Wu said in a deep voice.

"The general obeys the order, and will definitely not disappoint the lord." Ran Wu cupped his fists and accepted the order.

Several people watched for a while, and Jiang Chuan encouraged Guan Hu and Su Dingfang again, which was equivalent to giving them an early exposure and getting them mentally prepared for firecracker training.

Both Guan Hu and Jiang Chuan admired Jiang Chuan at this time, and Jiang Chuan's words were much more useful to them than the emperor's imperial decree.Both of them firmly promised that they would not embarrass Jiang Chuan, that they would be the first to learn how to use and maintain firecrackers, and that they would become the pacesetters in the new barracks.

After explaining this, Jiang Chuan gave some instructions on logistics, so that there must be sufficient food supply, and the daily food must be sufficient, so that the recruits can be fully motivated to train.

After leaving the barracks, Jiang Chuan took people to inspect the villages where the people in the valley lived together.

Although the villages today are villages in name, due to the terrain constraints in the valley, the distance between the villages is very close.Jiang Chuan went to visit one by one, and the focus was to check whether the houses the people lived in were strong enough and whether the heating facilities were in place.The other is to check whether the food of each family is enough to eat.

After visiting several villages, I found that the situation was better than I thought.None of the houses where the people live collapsed due to the heavy snow.Almost every family lived on the kang.Even without a stove, with a kang, we can survive this winter.

Moreover, all the craftsmen who make the kang and clay stoves are paid by the Civil Affairs Secretary, and they also take care of the meals. These craftsmen are also very enthusiastic about their work.

When Jiang Chuan was inspecting, he happened to meet several families who were asking craftsmen to make kang clay stoves for their homes. The people were very excited when they saw Jiang Chuan coming, and almost everyone in the village rushed out to see Marquis Wu'an.

When have these common people seen that officials go to the countryside and go door to door to see if you live well and if you have enough food.Not to mention a noble person like Lord Hou, even a small county magistrate would not do such a thing.

Coupled with the kindness of Jiang Chuan's protection and the accumulated reputation, in the eyes of the common people, Jiang Chuan is the incarnation of the savior.

So many enthusiastic people saw Jiang Chuan coming, and they all came out to entertain him with their best things, such as local eggs, various vegetables and meat, and some people had treasured shochu. The enthusiasm of the crowd made Jiang Chuan truly feel What does it mean that those who win the hearts of the people win the world.

All the hard work I had put in before was not wasted.

Moreover, Jiang Chuan was also surprised to find that several small markets spontaneously formed at the connection points between the various villages.Although the so-called market is more precisely a trading point for bartering.

After all, the people don't have any valuables in their hands, and most people don't have much money at home, so this so-called market is to take out the things they don't need and replace them with others, and everyone gets what they need.Of course, buying with money and exchanging with things is enough, as long as the two parties reach an agreement.

These small markets do not have markets every day, but are divided into three or six, or one or four, or two or five.

Today happened to be the sixteenth day of the winter month, and it happened to be the day when one of the small markets was held.In the bazaar less than 500 meters away, there are quite a lot of people, men, women, old and young, crowded together, full of voices, looking at their favorite things.There are stalls on both sides of the street. Some people use a piece of leather to spread their goods on the ground, and those who have no money use some thatch to display their things.

Some people even set up grass sheds on the side of the road and put the goods in the grass sheds for sale.

"The Marquis of Wu'an is here!" Looking at the situation, the small official of the Department of Civil Affairs, who was in charge of guiding, looked at Jiang Chuan in surprise, and shouted loudly.

In fact, the common people had already seen this heavily armored team, and when they heard the yelling of the clerk, they quickly fell silent and knelt down the streets on both sides, with expressions of reverence and fear.

"Grassmen see Hou Ye, Hou Ye is a thousand years old!"

Someone took the lead, and a group of people followed suit.

Anyway, in the dramas you read, Long Live is for the emperor, so Qiantui should be for nobles like Lord Hou, so they all took it and used it directly, regardless of whether it is right or not.

Hearing the sound of Chitose, Jiang Chuan felt like he had become the Eight Sage Kings.

"Everyone, get up." Jiang Chuan said loudly, but the crowd didn't dare to get up, and kept kneeling.

Jiang Chuan frowned, looked at the civil affairs officer in front of him, and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

The petty official looked at Jiang Chuan's serious face, fell to his knees with a thump and said anxiously: "Master Hou, this villain is really helpless. The common people need to exchange trade, but our Guzhong decree does not clearly state whether we can set up a private market , so it’s not good for villains to forcefully persuade, and please forgive me, Lord Hou!”

When Jiang Chuan heard this, he understood that these people were afraid that he would blame them.After all, the last time 700 people were killed by the Great Lakes, the impression that the heads were rolling and the grass covered with blood was still deep in many people's memories.

The little official was right. The decree designed by him and Liu Ji did not include the prohibition of setting up a market.

 The third one arrives.Thanks to the big guy "I know what is the name" for the reward again.There are two more updates, please don't go away, come back soon after coding.Say it again, everyone go and rate this book, if there are less than ten people, there will be no score, please please!
