Before dawn the next morning, the trumpet sounded in the fort, and everyone came out to assemble. This is the characteristic of Wang Xiaohao's army. No matter it is windy or rainy, they must assemble every day when they get up. Dutou will give a lecture. In the evening, after dinner

, also need to assemble and go to bed after training. Other armies usually have one training day every few days, and the rest of the time is more relaxed.

After everyone was assembled, Shu Jiming stepped forward and said: "From today on, we will be the garrison of Sbi Castle. In the past five days, I, the military envoy and the writer, inspected the surrounding terrain and formulated a construction plan. Each team is composed of

The Zuojie-level leader will first organize the living quarters in the fort. The right section-level leader will lead two teams to organize the moat. The river channel will be dredged and prepared to divert water."

The crowd cheered loudly.

After arranging today's affairs, Shu Jiming asked everyone to disperse. Led by Zuo Jieji, who was on duty, he would do morning classes first.

When he arrived at the fort hall, Shu Jiming patted a stool. He waited for the flying dust to settle before sitting on it. He said to Wang Zhongfu, "We still need to discuss what regulations we want to implement here."

Wang Zhongfu sat across from him and said: "There are rules set by the recruitment department, which cannot be violated. It is just a matter of profit and loss. In addition, the recruitment department also specially told all ministries that whether it is farming or defending the city, the army organization cannot be broken up.

.I think so, there must be morning classes. We can't be afraid of trouble. Once morning classes are skipped, the morale of the army will be chaotic. Every day, the duty officer will lead the training, and the other officers will discuss the day's affairs. Things done every day must be

There must be a plan, and there must be a summary after completion. The diary in the capital cannot be omitted, and it must be the responsibility of the officer on duty."

Shu Jiming nodded: "What the military envoy said. These red tapes are just annoying when you are doing them, but once you get rid of them, the entire organization begins to unravel. In addition, except when you are particularly busy, there must be military training.

"

The two were discussing. Not long after, the calligrapher Shi Duan came in and saluted the two.

Asking Shi Duan to sit down, Shu Jiming said: "Shu Shou, what are the rules for recruiting people? Please sort them out and list them for everyone to see. We have to discuss these carefully, which ones should be followed and which ones should be changed.

Report to the Recruitment Department. Although we are only stationed in one fort, things are complicated and troublesome. Today, the left and right sections will lead everyone to work, and the three of us will go around for a walk."

Shi Duan bowed his hand and promised.

Wang Zhongfu said: "We need to decide what to plant in various areas of the village as soon as possible, and submit the report to the Ministry of Finance to distribute seeds. This winter, we will take advantage of the slack time to open up wasteland and plant early next spring. If everything goes well, there will be no need for grain and grass from the Ministry of Finance.

Already."

Shu Jiming said: "I'm afraid that the Jin army will attack the sacred mountain in winter, and we won't have time to cultivate wasteland."

Wang Zhongfu said: "We must trust Jiang Zhaofu. Even if the Jin soldiers come, they can't stay too long and they won't delay us."

The three of them discussed for a while, looked at the sun and then took two messengers out of the fort to look around.

Hong Yi, a Zuojie-level official, led troops to tidy up the fort. Which houses were to be inhabited, they were repaired first, and the outsides of those that were not inhabited were cleaned up. There were many collapsed houses in Sbi Fortress, and almost none were still intact. Hong Yi

With the fort hall as the center, manpower was arranged. He led a team of people to repair the fort gate. After the gate was repaired, although the fort wall was not complete, it looked like it was.

Guo Xiao, the right section commander, led two people to dredge the moat.

The water was diverted from the Shibi River and had become silted up. Most of the water in the moat had dried up, leaving only small puddles. The mud washed down by heavy floods in summer was piled here and there in the river.

When they got down to the moat, Guo Xiao scolded: "You bastard, it's only October, and it's already frozen here! It's quite thick, and it's strong enough to stand on! Everyone, work harder, don't repair it now, another one will come later."

Yue can't fix it even if he wants to!"

All the soldiers accepted the promise and came to the river one after another.

Guo Xiao looked around and said: "Look at this, we can repair one side a day, and we can finish it in four days. Come with each team, we will inspect the river channel and distribute it. Everyone, work hard, don't waste time.

"

After the team came over, Guo Xiao took the lead to look at the river in the south and assigned tasks to the two teams.

Outside of Fort Spike, Wang Zhongfu and Shu Jiming worked with Shi Duan to examine the surrounding terrain in detail. Shi Duan measured with steps and looked at the land near Fort Spike. He said: "There are about more than three hundred acres of good abandoned land here.

Once the channels are repaired, they can be watered. If wheat is planted, one acre of land should be able to produce two stones of grain. This is more than six hundred stones, which can feed a hundred people, enough for us to eat."

Shu Jiming said: "It's so easy to have a full meal? But six stones per person is still a bit short."

Wang Zhongfu said: "Dutou, how can you only eat food? It can produce six hundred catties of wheat, and the surrounding dry land can be planted with millet, millet, sorghum, soybeans, etc., which is not only enough for people to eat, but also enough fodder for horses.

"

Wheat straw does not have much nutrition and is not suitable as pasture. However, the stalks of millet, millet and soybeans are different and are high-quality feed. If the grain in the irrigated land below is enough, then the crops in the dry land can be harvested to some extent, and there will be no shortage of grain and grass.

Shu Jiming calculated carefully and nodded: "The writer is right, as long as the irrigated land below is reclaimed, the food and grass will be enough. From this point of view, it is not difficult to feed the soldiers, it is just a little work!"

Wang Zhongfu said: "Dutou, as long as there is land, the soldiers can certainly earn money and eat. Our army does not have family members, they are all in their prime. How can they not be as good as farmers in farming? The difficulty is that you cannot train in farming.

.And once the army lacks training, its combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. What is Zhao Fu most worried about? It’s not that we can’t grow food, but that we can’t guarantee combat effectiveness.”

Shu Jiming said: "It makes sense. How to ensure both food and grass and combat effectiveness is not an easy task."

Wang Zhongfu said: "Of course it is not an easy task. I guess this matter still requires everyone to work together, and finally the Ministry of Advocacy will find a solution. Otherwise, it will be difficult to just rely on the subordinates. Let's first think about what to do in our own fort. What are the advantages?

, what shortcomings do you have, what should you do in the future, and what worries do you have. Report it to the Recruitment Department and wait for a decision at the top."

Shu Jiming nodded in agreement.

The three of them walked around the castle together. They decided where to dig a pond, where to plant fruit trees, where to plant mulberries and jujubes, and where to plant a vegetable garden. They arranged them one by one. Seeing the sun setting in the west, they returned to the castle together.

When I walked outside the south gate, I saw Guo Xiao and two teams of people finishing their work. There were seven or eight soldiers carrying two baskets and panting.

Shu Jiming saw it and said to Guo Xiao, "Jieji, what's in that basket?"

Guo Xiao said: "Back in the capital, the moat looks dry. I didn't expect there to be big catfish in it. We caught two baskets and carried them back to the fort. It's hard work now, so let's refresh ourselves."

Wang Zhongfu said: "Okay, okay! When we came to Sbi Castle, we also brought some eggplants with us, and we will stew them together tonight. It looks like you have two big baskets of fish, which should be enough for the soldiers in the capital."

Guo Xiao nodded: "Although I have never eaten catfish stewed with eggplant, I think it tastes good. There is also a special place in the river to put some black fish and the like. I will eat it slowly in the next few days."

"Okay, okay! If we don't have meat to eat now, it's better to have fish to eat!"
