Ye Yunyu stood up and solemnly blessed Fu Shen and said, "Sisters will not let brothers down."

"Mr. Cao, are you satisfied with our arrangement?" Ye Yunyu looked at Cao Huaimin with her clear and bright eyes, and then added delicately, "Speaking of which, Mr. Cao, don't be angry. You are too old to be old, and you are too young to be young.

Dividing land is also a difficult task."

"We will also help." Chen Zhongyuan said immediately after hearing this.

Upon hearing this, Cao Huaimin shook his head and laughed, "I'd like to thank you brothers first."

"You guys sit down first." Hong Lianshuo raised his head slightly and looked at Chen Zhongyuan and the others, lowering their hands.

Chen Zhongyuan bowed his hands and said, "I hope Mrs. Hong can agree."

"It's uncomfortable to sit down and talk with your head raised like this." Hong Lianshuo looked up at them and said, "Listen to me about this matter."

Chen Zhongyuan sat down numbly, and Jiang Shuisheng and the others also sat down again.

"You have forgotten that we are now a united army and peasants." Hong Lianshuo looked at them angrily and said, "Our land is small now. Planting this land is like horses pulling plows and hoeing the land. When harvesting, we must all work together."

Only when we go into battle and return the pellets to the warehouse as soon as possible can we feel reassured."

"I also want to pick wheat ears." Hong Wangyue said in a sweet voice.

"Yes!" Hong Lianshuo was stunned when he heard this, then smiled and rubbed his head.

"After this! According to the statistics in the garrison, we must help the widowed and lonely old people, carry water, crack firewood, and farm the land." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with deep and clear eyes and said, "We must also take care of the families of our colleagues so that they have no worries.

, joining the army is glorious."

Lin Nanzheng looked at her in astonishment. These brothers still followed her wholeheartedly! High, really high!

"Do you have any objections to this?" Hong Lianshuo looked at them with gentle, jade-like eyes and said.

"No, no." Chen Zhongyuan looked at her stupidly and smiled.

"Let's break up then!" Hong Lianshuo stood up and looked at them and said.

"Hey!" The cheerleaders dispersed at once, and Sixi and the others carried the straw mats and put them in the gatehouse guarding the city.

"Let's go back!" Hong Lianshuo put his son on the horse and led the horse on the cobblestone official road.

"This paved road is much more comfortable to walk on." Chen Zhongyuan said with a smile, "Now I am looking forward to heavy rain, so I can test the effect of this paved road?"

"I feel confident that it is right." Cao Huaimin said very arrogantly, "After precise calculations, the brothers have sincerely tamped the raised area over and over again. To avoid landslides, there are also piles of cobblestones on both sides.

"

"I know, Mr. Cao is an expert." Lin Nanzheng chuckled and shook his head.

"Are your feet hurt when you walk?" Hong Lianshuo looked at them with his jade-like eyes and asked with concern, "Especially those wearing straw sandals, the foundation is weak."

"It's okay! The pebbles are a bit big, not particularly broken." Jiang Shuisheng looked down at the straw sandals on his feet and suddenly exclaimed, "Ah! That's right."

"If you have anything to say, just say it. You were so surprised." Chen Zhongyuan tilted his head slightly and looked at him and said.

"It's getting cold now. How about these clothes! We have some, stuffed with catkins to keep out the cold." Jiang Shuisheng grinned happily from ear to ear, "In addition, there is a fire kang this year, so winter won't be so hard.

But what should we do if we lose our feet? We can’t wear straw sandals all the time!”

"Aren't boots issued in this barracks?" Hong Lianshuo asked, looking at them with raised eyebrows.

"Boots are only worn by high-ranking generals. We ordinary soldiers are not qualified." Sixi flattened her lips and snorted coldly.

"How did you spend the winter?" Hong Lianshuo looked at them in disbelief and asked again.

"Wooden shoes, stuffed with some hay." Chen Zhongyuan's caterpillar-like eyebrows furrowed slightly and said, "Have you never worn them?"

"Oh! I'm wearing straw sandals." Hong Lianshuo said breathlessly without blushing. In fact, he wasn't lying. This is how the indigenous people wear them.

"Do those wooden shoes fit? How can you train?" Hong Lianshuo looked at them with raised eyebrows and asked.

"The training will be reduced in winter." Jiang Shuisheng looked at her with dark eyes and said seriously.

"Will we send troops in winter?" Hong Lianshuo suddenly looked at them curiously and asked.

"We are located in the north. It is too cold in the winter, so we don't send many troops. If we freeze to death, we have to pay for it." Chen Zhongyuan looked at her with his caterpillar-like eyebrows lightly furrowed and said, "A war in winter is very important to the Central Plains.

It’s said to be something we try to avoid.”

"Then this will buy us some time to recuperate." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with bright eyes and said.

"Yeah!" Han Qinhu nodded hurriedly upon hearing this, "This winter march will naturally be hindered by the heavy snow. The snow will not only affect the march of the soldiers, but will also cause difficulties in the transportation of food and grass supplies.

"

"Then will the Hu soldiers from the north attack again?" Sixi asked worriedly.

"Normally not. The cold weather itself is a huge obstacle. They cherish human beings more than we do." Lin Nanzheng suppressed the smile on his face and looked at them and said seriously, "Unless the grassland suffers a snow disaster and forces them to

We had to go south to grab food to tide over the difficulties."

"Then please keep the grassland warm and don't come." Jiang Shuisheng clasped his hands and prayed to God.

Although winter is indeed a big problem, for today's generals, it doesn't mean they don't have to fight in winter just because they want to.

Therefore, solving the negative impact of cold on war has become a very important matter.

There are two issues to deal with when fighting in winter: first, how to ensure stable logistics; second, how to keep soldiers warm.

In fact, the former is much easier than the latter.

The hardest thing is how to keep warm.

Before the rise of cotton in ancient times, the traditional textile industry was mainly based on silk and linen.

As a means of keeping out the cold, most people nowadays use animal skins or linen wrapped with silk batting to make quilts and cold-proof clothes.

However, the low output of both has been a problem that has been difficult to solve for a long time. Therefore, silk has always been an important part of the in-kind taxes levied on farmers in ancient times in order to ensure the supply of the government and the army.

But even so, it is still difficult to maintain a military presence in the higher northern dimensional areas for a long time.

Therefore, the actual control area of ​​the Central Plains Dynasty rarely exceeds the Liaodong area to the north, which is too cold.

Because the cultivation of cotton was promoted on a large scale, the actual control scope of the Central Plains dynasty emerged from the military cold-proof products, and they expanded northward on a large scale.

Cotton! How long will it take for this to arrive? Hong Lianshuo is extremely eager for cotton now, but he is only eager because the Maritime Silk Road is underdeveloped.
