When Li Youfu called Xie Xiaoni, Wan Jun chatted with her for a few words, and then said, "Last time you helped our army capture Wang Heizi and made a great contribution. I never thought of how to reward you. Now there happens to be something I need."

You do it, are you willing?"

Xie Xiaoni said, "This slave's life belongs to you. I can't ask for anything more than to be able to do things for you!"

Wan Jun smiled and said, "It's not a bad thing, but it requires a clever person. If you do well, you will definitely become a rich businessman in the future!"

Xie Xiaoni said, "Please give me your instructions!"

Wan Jun said, "Now that the weather is getting colder, the army needs winter clothing. I think it's time to unify the uniforms of the Chinese army. This time, you will be responsible for making them together."

Xie Xiaoni was startled, "How can I do so much by myself?"

"I will provide you with cloth and silver, and you will be responsible for recruiting people in the city to sew the autumn and winter uniforms of the Chinese Army. I will use the money to buy the finished uniforms. I will definitely make you money. What do you think?

?”

Xie Xiaoni was smart and astute and immediately understood the benefits. Wan Jun was giving her a great opportunity and said happily, "Thank you for your good intentions, sir. Everything will be as per your instructions!"

Wan Jun nodded and said, "In that case, a military uniform manufacturing factory will be established in your name and managed and operated by you. 70% of the profits from the manufacturing factory will belong to the Chinese Army, and 30% will belong to you personally!"

Xie Xiaoni smiled and said, "The adults paid for the clothes and bought the clothes themselves. It's all the adults' money that comes and goes. How can I dare to take so much money from it?"

Wan Jun said, "Don't just look at this moment. I want you to manage the operation. I want you to find ways to make a profit. I have limited money and cloth here. How to sell cloth and thread later, how to recruit people and make monthly payments, is all up to you."

Think of a way, so I will give you 30%, more or less, it depends on you!"

Xie Xiaoni thought for a while and had a rough plan in mind, "I accept your order, I will definitely do this well!"

Wan Jun said, "Well, I have already thought about this. The military uniform manufacturing factory not only produces military uniforms for the Chinese Army, but you can also take over some civilian clothing manufacturing. In the future, it will serve as a state-owned unit to provide convenience for the Chinese Army."

Xie Xiaoni didn't understand what state-owned enterprises were, but she still smiled and said, "Everything will be done as adults say."

Wan Jun said, "Then I will arrange it immediately. The sooner the better, the cold weather is coming soon!"

After saying that, he asked Li Youfu to go find Zhao Boyuan. After a while, Li Youfu came back to report that Zhao Boyuan had gone to Huangtu Village and was busy with putting the Shanghewan Pyrite Mine into production.

Xie Xiaoni said, "Master Zhao will be back soon. If you dare to ask for some money, I will go find a place to recruit people right now."

Wan Jun smiled and said, "Yes, I can rest assured that you can handle the matter. Remember, five thousand sets of military uniforms must be prepared for the army in a month!"

Xie Xiaoni accepted the order and retreated. Wan Jun found paper and ink and asked Cui Ziyi to design the uniforms of the Chinese Army!

Wan Jun designed the military uniforms of the Huaxia Army based on the characteristics of the military uniforms of the Ming Dynasty and combined with modern military uniforms.

The military uniform is entirely navy blue and is knee-length. It does not hinder fast walking and can be used as a coat to cover the whole body.

Adding a red armband to the clothes can not only be used as decoration, but also as a conspicuous identification.

In addition, a military cap was designed, based on Fan Yangli, an iron helmet, and a large brim covered with cowhide on the outside of the wooden board to prevent damage to the face from falling arrows.

Cui Ziyi drew it according to Wan Jun's request, and Wan Jun felt happy after seeing it. Cui Ziyi's pen and ink skills were indeed better than his own. In the past, the drawings he drew were basically small and large ink lumps!

"Tomorrow Bo Yuan will come back and allocate the supplies to Xie Xiaoni. Then we will do what is on this drawing!"

The next day, Zhao Boyuan came back with He Chuyi. Zhao Boyuan had been traveling around these days, his whole body was travel-worn, and his face looked very haggard.

As soon as they entered the door, before Wan Jun could say anything, a man following He Chuyi suddenly bowed to the ground and shouted, "Master Wan, please save the people of Henan!"

Wan Jun was very surprised, "Who are you?"

The man raised his head and said, "I am going to be the magistrate of Xichuan County, Zheng Jiming."

Wan Jun asked curiously, "Which county magistrate are you from, and you came here to ask for help?"

Zheng Jiming said, "I am the county magistrate of tens of thousands of people in Xichuan."

Wan Jun said, "I mean, well, forget it, why did you come here to ask for help?"

Zheng Jiming burst into tears and cried loudly, "Xichuan County has been experiencing drought for half a year this year. The land is cracked and there is no harvest. The people have eaten up all the grass, leaves and bark on the mountains, and they have reached the point where they are exchanging food for food. I

I was originally appointed as an official by the Shun Dynasty, but after the New Dynasty was defeated in Beijing, it no longer cared about Henan. I sent a letter to Nanjing asking for help, but the Ming Dynasty also sat back and did nothing. I thought that as a parent official of Xichuan, even though I had not been there for a long time, I was really

Do you want to sit back and watch as Xichuan is wiped out? Please share some food to save the people of Xichuan!"

Wan Jun said, "The stakes are very high at this time. I would like to ask Magistrate Zheng to take a short break and let us discuss it!"

Hearing this, Zheng Jiming cried, "God is kind to people, please save our people!"

After saying that, Zheng Jiming bowed his head to the ground again and retreated.

Wanjun's original idea was to take Lucheng County and Danfeng County as the foundation and prepare for war as the first goal.

Now that the plan has been disrupted by Zheng Jiming who came out halfway, Wan Jun summoned Zhao Boyuan, Cui Ziyi and other generals to discuss Xichuan's request for help. "Tell me, what do you think about Xichuan?"

He Chu said, "I think you should save the people of Xichuan County!"

Wan Jun asked, "Why?"

He Chuyi said, "Fushuiguan City has recently accepted refugees who lost money. Many of them are hungry people from Xichuan County. They are so thin that they have lost their human form. Some have eaten too much Guanyin soil and even drank gruel for several days.

Save."

He Chuyi shed tears as he spoke, "Sir, although the world is big now, except for you, no one else can save them. If you don't save them, they will really be hopeless!"

Hearing this, Zhao Boyuan sighed and said, "I won't say whether to save or not. You have your own opinion on this matter. I will only report that our harvest this year is acceptable, and the food supply for our army and horses is enough. If we want to

If we bring tens of thousands of hungry people in a county in Xichuan, I'm afraid we won't be able to save many by then, and our troops will starve and disperse!"

Wan Jun said, "This is not just a county in Xichuan. The First Regiment has taken over Danfeng County, and soldiers and horses are stationed on the Dihua front line. If we want to calm people's hearts in Danfeng, we must also distribute some food for relief!"

Zhao Boyuan listened and said, "Sir, you are too greedy to bite off more than you can chew. We ate two counties at once. I'm afraid we won't be able to swallow it all!"

Cui Ziyi said slowly, "I think it is worth considering sending troops to Xichuan! Xichuan is located at the junction of three provinces, with high mountains and ridges within it.

The terrain is dangerous, with the dangerous passes of the Qinling Mountains in Shangluo to the north, Xiangfan to the south, and Wanluo to the east. If you advance, you can threaten Henan and Huguang, and if you retreat, you can protect the Three Qins. When it comes to the world's mountains and rivers, there is nothing more important than Xichuan!

"

Zhao Boyuan said, "The army has not moved, and food and grass go first. Where can we get so much food and grass, not only to support the army's operations, but also to relieve tens of thousands of people?"

Cui Ziyi said, "When the army arrives at Xichuan, it is enough to defend the dangerous pass. If you encounter people, you can also give some rice and porridge to show our army's kindness."

Zhao Boyuan stopped talking. He understood what Cui Ziyi meant. Giving some porridge and rice would show the army's kindness and win over people's hearts, and it would not waste a lot of food and grass. However, for the people, it was just to allow them to breathe and survive for a few days.

However, unless large-scale relief is provided, tens of thousands of people in Xichuan will eventually starve to death in the wilderness.

Several people have set their sights on Wan Jun. How to deal with this matter can only be decided by Wan Jun. To save or not to save, a single thought can determine the life or death of tens of thousands of people. At this time, no one among these people can decide.

Dare to speak easily.

Wan Jun thought for a long time, raised his head and said, "If justice is compromised, can it still be called justice? Since we, the Huaxia Army, are determined to save the poor people in the world, how can we not save the tens of thousands of people in Xichuan? We must save them!"

After hearing Wan Jun's words, both He Chuyi and Zhao Boyuan breathed a sigh of relief. After all, this matter is related to the lives of tens of thousands of people.

Zhao Boyuan said, "Your Excellency, you are a Bodhisattva, but how can we raise food and grass?"

Wan Jun said, "I have a way. We implement a wartime supply system in the three counties controlled by the Chinese Army, Danfeng, Lucheng, and Xichuan. Starting from me, everyone will be provided with porridge and rice according to the amount every day. Now is the time

In late autumn, we will collect wild fruits and vegetables from the mountains, catch fish and shrimps from the river, mix them with grain and eat them together, and try our best to survive until next year!"

Cui Ziyi asked, "How to implement the wartime supply system?"

Wan Jun said, "Let's print some food stamps and supply food to each household according to the food stamps. Starting from me, everyone will tighten their belts together to help the people of Xichuan County tide over the difficulties!"

Zhao Boyuan said, "Our harvest this year is much better than in previous years. The people have just settled down and have enough to eat. Will anyone use their own grain to help the people in Xichuan County?"

Wan Jun smiled and said, "Bo Yuan, don't underestimate the goodwill of the people. If you know that if you take one less bite, you can save a person, the people will definitely support us. Let Li Youtian's political propaganda team not stop for a moment, in the Huaxia Army

The controlled area must be publicized wherever there are people living in it, using the slogan 'Helping the people of Xichuan County overcome difficulties'!"

After hearing this, Cui Ziyi nodded slightly and said, "In the beginning, human nature is inherently good."

Wan Jun said, "Yes, I believe in the brilliance of human nature. As long as we take the lead and have a sincere attitude, I believe that our people will definitely be willing to help the people of Xichuan."

Feeling Wan Jun's attitude, a few people remained silent, but a feeling arose in their hearts. Are the people of Xichuan not Chinese? Looking at the world, from Beijing to Guangdong, from the East China Sea to the northwest, are those people not Chinese?

people.

China and the Han people have a common belonging. We show true love in times of adversity. Just eating a few less bites can save the lives of tens of thousands of people in Xichuan.
