Chapter 68: White rice reaps the hearts of heroes
In addition to Gan Hui and Shi Daxuan, some people have come to vote one after another. In addition to the coastal areas of Fujian Province, they are treated like that. First, they are invited to visit the farmland, sugarcane field, Marine Corps camp and fleet of the Southeast Mansion, so that they can see the strength of the Southeast Mansion.
When inviting them to dinner, they clearly stated their remuneration. One is to become a "formal worker", first go to the military academy for further training, the leader takes the officer course, and the subordinates take the sailor course.
"Everyone must hold a certificate to work! Including the warlord! At the same time, they have to take an oath before taking the official post, swear an oath in front of the Mazu mother, and be loyal to the warlord!" It is very clear that the coming heroes find it novel, this Southeast There are so many clauses and clauses in the government, but the treatment in the southeast government is really good!
Compared with the treatment of the Ming Army in the mainland, the salary paid is not deducted, and the family members do not need to pay taxes for dividing the land. In the future, they can be directly converted to "civil servants". What is the military rank system if they use peculiar military uniforms? , Promoted according to the merits of the battle without any need to slap.
"It's not difficult to verify!" The receptionist explained: "Practice is the main task, not the test of words and poems. Don't worry, for example, if you test for the captain's certificate, you will study the captain's course, and the test is You can't test many words when you play boats and cannons."
"As for illiteracy and free literacy, you must not miss this opportunity!"
The second way out is to become a mercenary. In the future, he will be rewarded according to his merits and will not be under the jurisdiction of the army.
...
Ninety-five percent of the people chose the first path. In addition to the good treatment, there is one reason: good food in the barracks! Have white rice to eat.
All the food is for the military camp. They don’t have a special banquet, and let them go directly to the army to eat a big pot of rice. Good results have been achieved.
"Come on!" the receptionist said. The heroes took the tableware---the tin lunch box and lined up for the meal.
Start cooking, the eyes of the heroes are all rounded!
This is white rice!
The white rice in the big pot came into their eyes like a light.
"Rice, add it if you don't have enough, don't waste it!" the accompanying person said.
White rice is enough. The dishes include chicken, fish, pork, and mutton. They rotate every day in the barracks, and the officers even eat venison and beef!
said very clearly that the officers and sailors on the warship all eat beef jerky, while the officers also have venison jerky for their stomachs.
Vegetables, fruits and tea are also served!
White rice, hot and fragrant, eat in one bite, it's all comforting.
conquered the hearts of heroes by conquering the stomachs of heroes.
Eating white rice may not be unusual in some places, but you must know that this is Fujian Province.
What's in Min Province?
It faces Taiwan across the sea, and it happens to be a province lacking resources. Most areas in the province are rugged hilly areas with heavily weathered red soil.
Flat arable land can only be found on the edge of the river valley and the narrow strip of the sea, but not much, very few.
There are a lot of alluvial fans in the river plains elsewhere, which is the land of fish and rice.
Fujian province also has rivers, but it is squeezed by mountains and hills, and the area of alluvial fans is very small.
In the 13th century, a local governor of Fujian Province sighed: "From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, there are all rocks, and the farming never stops."
"The low-lying areas are full of saline-alkali swamps, which cannot be farmed."
Famine is an eternal threat. Despite the hard work and hard work of the smart and industrious Fujian people, large-scale terrace development and reclamation projects have been built, but the food harvest in Fujian has never been self-sufficient, and half of the rice needed in the province is needed. Rely on other places to supply.
What's worse is that the project of transporting grain is not an easy task, because the mountains and hills isolated Fujian from the rest of the empire.
Everyone knows that with the sorrowful people pushing (cars) ox-horse-drawn carts at the time, to transport food for thousands of miles, there is no one in ten!
Well, transport grains and rice from the Yangtze River to the beach, and then ship to Fujian Province by sea?
Regardless of the importance of Fujian Province, the key is that the society at that time did not have the consciousness of “shipping food”. (Until the Qing dynasty did not ship by sea because of the blockage of the Grand Canal and the chaos of war)
The natural conditions in Fujian are so poor that it is very difficult to eat white rice. All you eat are miscellaneous grains, especially sweet potatoes, because they are very easy to introduce, so a small amount of potato vines can grow with you, and people in Fujian have cited them in large quantities. Planted on poor lands and mountains where no food can be grown, sweet potatoes are “food for the people’s livelihood” on the red land of Fujian Province, claiming to make hungry people “sufficient” and “famine is not for hunger”.
Just as Chen Zhongji told Yan Changwu at the beginning, sweet potatoes are used to feed pigs where there is sufficient food. . . The second level means that if you have rice to eat, you will not eat sweet potatoes; if you eat sweet potatoes, you have to be forced.
sweet potato. . . Food for the poor.
White rice. . . Besides, there is meat to eat, large pieces of meat, food for successful people.
"We have always been this kind of food!" the soldiers told the heroes who had come to defect.
The food provided by the Southeast Army has always been very good. Yan Changwu bought the people’s food and distributed it to the army to a large extent.
So, the heroes who are used to eating sweet potato porridge were taken over by the white rice, and they willingly received training and prepared to join.
The heroes who went to the southeastern prefecture were mostly from the coastal areas such as Quans and Zhang, and also from the mountainous areas of northern Fujian, followed by Guangdong, as well as Ningbo and Wenzhou in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Some people came to vote. They may be groups of three or five. There are more than five boats, such as water boats, black boats, boats, and bird boats. There are more than five thousand people, all of whom are treated well.
Compared with farmers and fishermen, their combat effectiveness is stronger. Even if they have guns, they are still made by humans. The brave people use guns to be more powerful!
Therefore, it is said that to be famous, you have the foundation (white rice is indispensable), and if you don't spend a penny, there are heroes who match up.
They conducted intense training, and some people were not used to it at first, UU reading www.uukanshu. Some people from com also left, but not many. Everyone gritted their teeth when they thought there was no white rice in other places.
Business studies, literacy, and essential political studies!
How can Yan Changwu from the future leave me DANG and the fine tradition of our army!
The beginning of the "History of the Southeast Army" introduces the beautiful island of Taiwan, which is being gradually developed, and agriculture is developing rapidly. It will form a large agricultural area of rice, miscellaneous crops and sugarcane. It has developed fisheries, rich seafood, shipbuilding, Cement, gunmaking, sugar and other industries are produced by wood, coal, etc. It is a treasure island!
Mazu Niangniang, is the patron saint of this precious land!
The people here are hardworking and brave, fighting to build their homes, and shed blood and sacrifice to defend their homes!
The young commander-in-chief Yan Changwu is a golden boy under the seat of Mazu.
He was invincible and invincible, and he built a powerful fleet. He defeated the Dutch and the outlaw Xu Xinsu, deterring the Ming army from moving.
After being examined and approved by Yan Changwu, he deified himself in a language similar to that of a fat man who blows a stick. He is a "great man from heaven", and the people are "we don't recognize anyone except you"!
Brainwash the military and political members, let the military and civilians fight for him and give up their lives for him!
...
After brainwashing, the Southeast Military Mansion established a worship of him. Of course, some people were sober-minded: "A little baby is a god, and only a ghost can believe it!"
"Those who eat his white rice believe him!" someone replied.
This is speechless, it is true, most places in mainland China cannot serve ordinary people's meals and eat white rice!
The person who let everyone eat white rice is indeed a god, even if he is a little baby.
