Under the command of drums and flags, more than 400 civilians formed a formation and stabbed with swords and spears, and the martial arts performance ended.
As the chants were ringing, people dressed in various costumes lined up in front of the martial arts stage. They were sweating profusely and full of energy, and their eyes were focused on the stage.
The chief clerk let out a long sigh of relief: "Good practice, good practice."
The other officials also came to their senses and nodded in praise.
This time I mean it sincerely.
Yuan Ji is also sincerely humble: "It doesn't matter now. We are all ordinary people. We can only take our time. The weather is getting colder and colder, and the training is getting harder and harder..."
The chief clerk is alert, do you want money? He hurriedly held Yuan Ji's hand and said, "Master Yuan, if you work hard for a few more days, the Taoist officers and soldiers will arrive soon. When they arrive, everyone will be relaxed."
Yuanji didn't look very happy, but he didn't say anything more and nodded in agreement.
Someone from the audience ran up holding a handful of flags of different colors, knelt down on one knee and raised them: "Please choose the winner, adults."
What does this mean? The officials are puzzled.
"There are rewards and punishments for military training. I asked you to choose the best team for the martial arts performance just now, and we will give you a reward." Yuanji explained, extending his hand to invite, "Master, please."
Not bad, not bad, he is good at military training. The chief clerk happily stepped forward and glanced across the stage. He saw that the queues standing under the stage had different flags held in front of the formation, in response to the flag held by the guard.
As the chief clerk's gaze swept across, the expressions of the people in the queue became even more enthusiastic.
The head clerk's gaze turned back to Li Minglou: "Madam, you choose."
Mainly to make them happy, the officials also invited them one after another. Li Minglou did not refuse, and without thinking about it, he picked out a handful of green flags from the guards and raised them.
Roars suddenly rang out from the audience, and everyone in the queue where Qinglong Banner was standing was jubilant, while people in other queues looked full of envy and regret.
Without even thinking about it, it was just to see which color looked better. They were so dazzled just now that they didn’t even remember which team was which. No matter what, it was good for everyone to be happy. The chief clerk and other officials nodded in agreement: "This is exactly it.
The team is the best.”
Yuan Ji said to Li Minglou: "Please give me some armor, Madam."
The guards carried stacks of armored military uniforms from the side, and there was also a display of weapons. The officials suddenly realized that not everyone can obtain military uniforms, nor are there a group of specially trained people who can wear military uniforms.
The ones who serve are the preferred ones.
Li Minglou invited the chief registrar and other officials: "It is an honor for the adults to distribute them with their own hands."
The chief bookkeeper and others did not refuse, and it was easy to talk about anything as long as no money was paid.
Twenty people from the Qingqi team walked onto the stage, received the uniforms and weapons given by the officials, then turned around and raised their hands in excited cheers. Although the audience was envious, they also cheered in congratulations.
There was once again a commotion in front of the martial arts stage.
The chief clerk could not imagine that a uniformed weapon could make them so happy. Those officers and soldiers were not like this before. Then he heard Yuanji say from the side: "You can go and get your number plate."
These twenty civilians shouted even more excitedly and ran off the stage carrying their uniforms and weapons.
"What's the number plate?" an official asked.
Real officers and soldiers do have identity cards.
"That's the kind." Yuan Ji said, "Of course, they are not real officers and soldiers. This number plate is only for counting in our military camp. The people who get the number plate can eat meat every day."
The chief clerk was stunned, then suddenly realized and laughed again, it turned out that it was because of eating meat.
The county government and the people all know that the military camp is responsible for food, porridge, and meat dishes for three days. This is a very good meal for ordinary people, and people who work for people cannot eat so well.
After the martial arts exercise was over, it was time for dinner. There were two lines in the military camp's food tent. The longest line was composed of ordinary civilians. Today they had gruel, pancakes, and a bowl of vegetarian dishes. On the other side were about a hundred people in military uniforms.
The 20 people who had just received their military uniforms were among the people's strong team, looking forward excitedly.
"In addition to porridge, pancakes and vegetarian dishes, there is also stewed lamb bones." Yuanji introduced to the chief clerk and others, "They are available every day."
Although there isn't much meat, chewing the bones can make people happy and bubble up, and it happens every day, not to mention that others don't have it yourself. When the officials looked at the two teams, they could clearly see the arrogance of the first team.
A team of envy and dissatisfaction.
Sometimes what people compare is not eating and drinking, but the difference, even though it is just a bowl of mutton bones.
"It's more than just a bowl of sheep bones." Yuanji said, "Minzhuang who wears military uniform can receive three kilograms of meat when he goes home."
The chief clerk looked surprised: "Every time?"
In order to protect their families, they took the initiative to serve as minzhuangs and did not let them leave their families behind. The minzhuangs took turns returning home every seven days.
Yuanji nodded: "Every time."
At first, the county government office invited many people to come to the military camp, but in the end, most of the people who stayed in the military camp were civilians, many of whom were poor, and they came to make ends meet after hearing that the military camp was in charge of food.
Three pounds of meat is a lot for many families. Wouldn’t it mean that one person eats meat and the whole family eats meat...
The people came to the military camp to suppress bandits and protect their families. They have already benefited from their loved ones before they fought bloody battles for their loved ones. No wonder their worries that the civilian leaders would run away did not happen, and instead more people came.
In order to eat meat, in order to eat more meat, in order to let the family eat meat too, in such a short time a group of people have been trained to be so decent. The chief bookkeeper and other officials looked at Yuan Ji, small tricks are good and clever tricks are good.
, Zhenwu Army deserves its reputation.
The chief clerk thought for a few times, then gritted his teeth and said: "This cost is not small, but for the sake of the people of Dou County, the county government must find ways to support it."
The officials behind him suddenly shrank like chickens.
There were more than 400 people, and behind them there was a large family with countless mouths. The clerk, who was familiar with commodity prices, began to calculate quickly in his mind. Nowadays, a pig only weighs 70 to 80 pounds of clean meat, and a sheep is even less.
How many people in a military camp would eat in a day, in a month... the civil servants would suffocate.
Yuanji thanked the chief clerk: "It's not needed yet."
The civil servant came to life in one breath, and looked surprised again. It's not needed yet? It's actually been a long time...
"Yuan Ji." Li Minglou suddenly said, "You can't have meat without wine."
The chief clerk and other officials were astonished. After entering the military camp, the two women from the Wu family, one blind and silent, the other with their faces covered, barely spoke.
"Anyone who gets a military uniform, please add a bowl of wine." Yuanji immediately accepted the order.
Maybe that’s not what you mean, the chief clerk and others shouted in their hearts, please be careful and ask again!
Li Minglou smiled slightly and thought of the interesting things he had done in that life: "The weather is getting colder and colder, so we set up a big vat outside the military camp. After training every day, everyone can drink a bowl and pick it up when they go home."
Take it away."
The big tank can be taken away by everyone, every day.
The clerk, who had stopped calculating, suddenly started to think about it. The amounts were accumulating, and his eyes could not help but darken.
"Send the order! Madam enjoy the wine!"
"Send the order! Set up a wine vat outside the camp!"
Everyone in the world loves to eat meat, and all men in the world love to drink. The cheers in the military camp are like thunder.
