Chapter seventy-ninth
Scarcity is the most expensive, so the raw material price is naturally the same. The planting area of sugarcane is small and the yield is small, so the purchase price will naturally be higher. If everyone grows sugarcane, the whole of Zhejiang is a sugarcane forest. Not only will the purchase price of raw materials dive, but the finished sugar can be sold overseas, and the sugar production industry will also be affected.
Demand saturation means a lot of things. The current trend is that after the pilot is successful, the new policy will become popular, and blind obedience is indispensable. Therefore, some people with interest will come up with other crops to be at the forefront of the trend to get more profits.
With a brand new organization and system, relying on the farm tools purchased over the past year and the irrigation machinery installed, the planting cooperative where the Ding family decided to send more people to the Fucheng City for investigation in the second half of the year, and finally decide whether to change the planting and what to change it.
After this incident, Ding Junjie bid farewell to his mother and rushed back to the recruit training camp. When it was time to wait, the soldiers who participated in the formation of the new troops set off from Jinhua and walked north with full armed forces to report to Nanjing.
On the official road from Jinhua to Nanjing, the song of Siming Mountain, which was cheerful and full of revolutionary optimism, sounded. These temporary soldiers walked towards the distance with light steps and also towards the future full of hope in the distance.
Chen Wen had already returned to the Qi Palace hundreds of miles away. There were too many government affairs to deal with, and his daily itinerary was full. When the large library he was located in Nanjing University Hall was completed and completed, he just attended the opening ceremony and rushed to the Jinshan Wei Army Port in Hangzhou Bay, where a large number of warships and cargo ships would set off.
More than a year ago, after graduation, Ding Junjie chose to join the army, while Shi Xiaoniu was lucky enough to enter Nanjing University. By July, Nanjing was already in a hot and unbearable. At this moment, there was no class. Shi Xiaoniu flipped out a book translated from Taisie in the big library. Some of the experiments on mechanics, especially the experiments performed on an inclined tower, were even more interesting.
"Things that are different heavy can actually land at the same time. When I come back, I will find a place to try it."
After carefully reading this page, Shi Xiaoniu took notes and took down the experimental steps. However, just as he was thinking about where to find the right experimental props, a group of students gathered at a row of tables not far away, but a more intense debate broke out.
"It has been two years since the Korean vassal state was destroyed by the Tartars, but the royal army has been reluctant to send troops to rescue him. I remember when Emperor Xian was in power..."
"This classmate, when Emperor Xian was in power, the Ming Dynasty was at its peak. Not to mention several provinces in the north, even Liaodong was in the hands of the hands. The Tartars in Nuergandushi obeyed the orders. Now the world is so ruined, and can they care about the vassal states?"
"What about Shaanxi? King Ji endured humiliation and suffered heavy burdens for many years. Now he has raised an army to fight the capitulation court and slaughtered the whole city, which is even more satisfying. The Jiangsu and Zhejiang Kings Division has sent troops to provide assistance."
"He said that if he endured humiliation, he would bear the burden. Use his brain to look at the manifesto. Why is Wu Sangui clearly not good for the current situation and wanted to take the Tartars from the fire. If it weren't for this guy's switch, the Tartars would have stayed in the pass for a long time? As for the world to be broken to this point today?"
"His Highness Ji used the enemy to suppress the thieves and revenge the revenge of the king and father for the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Jian..."
"As a result, Emperor Jian was captured by the Tartars and killed. The Tartars used the internal struggle of the Han family to sweep the world. If His Highness of Qi had not fought hard with the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang for many years, could we still study here with peace of mind? I'm afraid there is no quiet desk in the world!"
“…”
After hearing a few words, Shi Xiaoniu lost interest and never had any similar quarrels. I remember a few days ago, there was a guy who opened his mouth to read a book. He was exposed in person that a cousin who had not yet had five cousins at home had participated in the imperial examinations of the Tartars and was also an official. When the two sides became more and more excited and couldn't help but take action, he even went up and kicked the "traitor family member".
The students at Nanjing University are actually not too complicated. They are mainly outstanding students in the Boy Scout Academy of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Mingjun, accounting for the vast majority of the number. The others are the children of the gentry families who participated in the anti-Qing Dynasty and helped the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Mingjun Group. However, although the latter is not large in number and the proportion is not large, they have a lot of voices when they quarreled, especially when they are good at making trouble.
Shi Xiaoniu had quarreled with them several times and gradually discovered one of their thinking patterns, or quarrel patterns. That is, "I" is a gentleman, so it is different from "I", or if he disagrees with "I", that is, the villain who is a villain. What the villain says is naturally unreliable, so "I" is definitely right.
When he found out that these guys would take them out when they couldn't argue, Shi Xiaoniu was too lazy to pay attention to them - he was obviously unreasonable, so why did they do. At this moment, seeing that the classmates were about to start quarreling again, Shi Xiaoniu hurried to the administrator to borrow the book and left here in two steps.
"It's so hot. There are just two warmths inside and outside the library. This group of guys who have read the books of sages for many years but can't even do it for me three times a day. They really occupy the pit and don't shit. I'm gonna swear."
The library is specially designed. It considers many aspects such as fire prevention, theft prevention, moisture prevention, insect damage prevention, etc., which is much cooler than the outside. In addition, the large library was built by Chen Wen's private sponsorship. In winter, the Qiwang Mansion will transport coal, and in summer, ice will be sent for students to avoid cold and heat when studying here, which is much cooler than the hot outer room now.
Fortunately, for more than a year, Shi Xiaoniu also knew that a place that was still better. After leaving the big library, he headed straight for there.
After a while, Shi Xiaoniu came to a tree-lined path on campus. Under the shade of the trees, he could still hide some sunshine. He leaned under the tree, calmed down and calmed down. He opened the book again. However, this time, the heat was unbearable, and there was a little bit of reverie, and he was always difficult to concentrate.
"Hey, I don't know how Brother Ding, Brother Liu and Senior High School are doing now."
The three people Shi Xiaoniu mentioned, including Ding Junjie, were his friends when he was in the Boy Scout Academy, and the latter two were roommates in the same dormitory. They had a good relationship with each other on weekdays, and their fathers and brothers in their families were also familiar with each other in the army. Unfortunately, this graduation was apart.
After thinking for a while, Shi Xiaoniu looked at the booklet, but still couldn't read a word. Should he take the booklet back to the dormitory to read, or to go to the big library to see if the people had arguing enough? After hesitating for a while, he decided to go to the big library to see if it was quiet. If it wasn't quiet, he would go back to the dormitory.
After deciding, Shi Xiaoniu had to close the book. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a green leaf fell from the tree behind it and fell onto the pages.
"It happened to be a bookmark."
After closing the book with satisfaction, Shi Xiaoniu stood up, patted the dust on his butt, and walked towards the direction of the big library. However, after taking two steps, his face suddenly trembled, and then he quickly turned on the page, and the leaf was exposed to his eyes again.
"Why are falling leaves falling, not flying in the sky? Could it be that there is an invisible force pulling it?"
……………………
Shi Xiaoniu was addicted to mechanics in Nanjing University and could not extricate himself. Ding Junjie, who he was still muttering before, had already set out from Jinhua.
After leaving the recruit training camp, although the brigade was temporarily organized, it was just like the old camp that had been around in various departments and officers at all levels and steadily heading towards Nanjing. In mid-July, after half a month of armed trekking, at a speed of no less than fifty miles a day, he finally crossed the distance of 900 miles and rushed to the training camp in Niushou Mountain, Nanjing.
The training camp is located in the plains east of Niushou Mountain and south of General Mountain. The entire training camp area is surrounded by high walls. There are also garrisons who have patrol dogs patrolling day and night. It is a dream to try to spy on it.
When they entered the camp, Ding Junjie and the others did not disband and rest, but instead ordered to re-detach the team and went to the camp area to re-pack the luggage.
When he was calling Ding Junjie, he handed over the old waist card and received the new waist card. He followed the command of the polite soldiers to line up in the corresponding area. The newly assigned team of people was already in place.
After a long time, the team was finished, and they lined up to the camping area step by step, and no one said a word throughout the journey. However, after entering the barracks and the politicians announced their disbandment, they were no longer in a state of marching, and self-introductions for the first time were indispensable.
"My name is Huang Chengming, the captain of the army's Renyong, and will be the temporary captain of our team during training."
Huang Chengming was the large-scale expansion of the army carried out by Chen Wen when he recaptured Jiangxi. He joined the army for many years and went to battle many times before he was appointed as the captain of Renyong. He was originally recommended to the martial arts school, but this new force was formed and transferred here to serve as the temporary captain.
The temporary captain was an official position during the training period. Ding Junjie also served as the temporary captain during the recruit training camp, but was appointed after one tenth of training to assist in managing and restraining the recruit team where he was located. However, this is the first time that a Renyong Captain could have been able to serve as the temporary captain as the temporary captain.
Ding Junjie was lined up at the head of the line. Seeing the temporary captain introducing himself, he gave a flat chest salute to everyone and said to everyone: "Report to the captain, Ding Junjie, is from Jinhua New Recruitment Training Camp."
Ding Junjie raised his chest high, and the pin of the preparatory membership of the China Revival Association on his chest was shining. This was what he had applied to join in the recruit training camp. He was an active training model in the camp. He was also a top student in the Boy Scout Academy and his family background was also recognized. He has been actively participating in the event in the meeting recently, and he only waited for the review to change the member's emblem.
Ding Junjie is like this. There are two preparatory members in our team who are the same as him, and there are also several who are applying. One of them is Niu Zhong, who is a big-sleep and round waist. You can tell at a glance that he is a loyal and honest man. He was actually from the Jinhua recruit training camp, but he has never seen him before.
"My family's division is in Xiaoshun Town, Yiwu County."
"Oh, my family's division is in Yongkang County."
After introducing each other, since they were all from the Jinhua recruit training camp, Ding Junjie got into a relationship with Mr. Niu, but this person was not very talkative, and it could even be said that he didn't like to talk to others, and it soon ended up in nothing.
The training camp in Niushou Mountain is just like the training camps of their respective origins. It can even be said that it is no different from the army, and everything is done step by step.
The beds were allocated in the order they had just been in the team. The gifts were packed up. The team followed Huang Chengming out and went out to collect toiletries and other military supplies while taking them to get familiar with the camp.
After leaving the team's dormitory, people who were already talking in groups of three or five lined up in line according to the queue they came just now and followed Huang Chengming to the camp. This was the rule in the army, so they naturally had no truth they didn't understand. But what surprised Ding Junjie was that all the people in their team were selected from various recruit training camps, most of whom had attended the Boy Scout Academy, and the rest could more or less recognize a few words, but none of them were completely illiterate.
Full of doubts, Ding Junjie and his team received military supplies in the camp and returned to the camp. After washing up, they spent dinner and returned to the barracks to wait for the lights to go out. Only then did Huang Chengming give them a more in-depth introduction, in order to relieve some of their doubts.
"Before you came here, you must have received news that you would form a new force."
They all knew what Huang Chengming said. Several people nodded, and others also showed their gaze of recognition. Huang Chengming continued: "The number of the new army is still confidential now. The training time and training content of you are also confidential. What I can tell you is that this new army was prepared for the Northern Expedition, that's all."
Northern Expedition!
When everyone heard this word, everyone's spirit was revived. The Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang walked along the way, from nothing to something, gradually recovered the large areas of the Qinling Mountains and Huaihe River in the north, the South China Sea in the south, the East Sea in the east, and the Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan in the west, and annihilated the Qing army's huge amounts of hundreds of thousands. Today, what is left is nothing more than the northern expedition to the Central Plains, the recovery of the old land of the Han family, and then sweep the courtyard and plow the caves, and the great achievements of the world can be accomplished.
Almost all of them joined the army for the last attack on the Qing Dynasty in the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains. Not only Ding Junjie was the only one who joined the army. If you don’t mention killing the Tartars to take revenge, even if you only make military achievements, this will be the most rewarding one. In the next few decades, or even hundreds of years, there may not be such a good opportunity to become rich.
Everyone's eyes focused on Huang Chengming, but the latter shook his head and smiled: "Don't think that even if you can enter this training camp, you can be a soldier during the Northern Expedition. This training camp will continue to eliminate any person who is considered unqualified by the Military Training Department, except for anyone, including this official."
"So, after two days of repair, you will start the most rigorous training. The level you used to be in Xinbin training camp was just a pediatric department. I still said the same thing, if you fail to get elimination, the Northern Expedition has nothing to do with you, it's that simple."
The rewards of the Northern Expedition, the rigorous training, and even the elimination were all stunned after hearing Huang Chengming's words. However, Huang Chengming did not give them time to think, took out a document full of words of all sizes, placed it under the oil lamp in the barracks, and showed it to everyone.
"This is the military song of this new force, given by His Highness the King of Qi. You have two days to learn while familiarizing with the training regulations and the revision. Two days later, His Highness the King of Qi will come to inspect, and you must learn before this."
In terms of military songs, the earliest song of the Siming Mountains by the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is familiar, and there is also the story of the Nantang camp rushing to Jinhua from that time. In addition, the song written by Qi Shaobao is also a common military song of the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. They have sung this many times, and these military songs have just played a role in boosting morale.
When the new army's military songs heard this, they all turned their attention to the paper. "Don't you see, the Han army is over, the weak crowns are requesting long tassels; do you see, the ban Dingyuan, and the light cavalry in the ultimate realm urged to fight against the clouds! A man should be in a serious danger, so how can the Confucian crowns lose their lives? Moreover, the country is in danger, and the feathered edicts are fighting forever!..."
