Chapter 804 There is a world of martial arts everywhere!
The officers and soldiers walked for thousands of miles, and their bodies were so dirty that they were incredibly dirty.
Ordinary officers and soldiers can still tolerate it, but the smell is a little bit smelly. It doesn’t matter if you get used to it anyway, but the girls in the Student Company really can’t stand it. As early as ten days ago, Teacher Xiao He suggested to Tang Dao that the whole army would find a town to repair it, and let everyone sort out their personal hygiene.
But Tang Dao considered that the Japanese army attacking the Longhai Line was strengthening its offensive, but in January, the defense line of the first war zone would move backwards. The Four Rangers had to stay away from the combat area during this period. It was not until after chatting with Dan Tai Mingyue that the Four Rangers had already escaped from the dangerous area, so they finally decided to spend the New Year and repair near Zhengzhou.
Just in time, he could also use this gap to find the person he was looking for and talk to this senior official who was about to lose power and talk about future changes in the situation.
Although the man who blamed his brother at a critical moment, he was still a patriotic person in his heart. That was also the basis for Tang Dao to find him, and it was also the reason why Commander Zhang asked him to help bring the letter.
The two of them had a severity, but from the perspective of the country and the nation, Commander Zhang finally made his own choice. Judging from this not-so-big thing, the reason why he was able to become an anti-Japanese hero who has been famous throughout the ages was not just sacrifice.
A person's mind and pattern have laid the foundation for a person's achievements.
All day, all the officers and soldiers of the Four Army Corps did nothing, whether they were willing or not, they were cleaning up their personal hygiene.
The mayor of the town is also a smart person. He specially brought more than 300 women, took the big foot basin at home and a special laundry rod for washing clothes for all the officers and soldiers of the Four Army Regiment. This is purely helping without charge.
The officers and soldiers of the Four-League Regiment were only responsible for taking off their dirty military uniforms and handing them over to the women leading the team, washing themselves clean, cutting their hair and beards short and shaving them, and putting on the new military uniforms distributed in the regiment.
Much spirit!
In the afternoon, the officers and soldiers walking in the town no longer looked as dull as they first entered the town. Their hair was a buzzing head, their faces were clean, and they did not have a strong smell of sweat, and they also had a faint fragrance of soapberry. More importantly, they were the spirit of walking in new military uniforms, and they were absolutely energetic.
How far will soldiers in military uniforms stand out among the ordinary people in the future? At this time, the soldiers of the Four-Road Regiment are already in a bustling town.
The big girls and wives in the town made them blush. After all, they might be the most handsome group of young men they have ever seen in their lives.
Fortunately, the Military Law Department has experience and is prepared for it. The 5th and 6th teams inspected the town and surrounding areas. These guys are all full of energy. If they cannot bear the temptation to do something and let the people come here, the Sixing Group will be disgraced.
As for what you say, it is best not to say that you are in love. The regiment commander said that the big girls in the north are too spiritual. This is too far away. Once the troops set off, you will not know what year or month it will be, let alone don’t know the life and death of the battlefield, so don’t harm other girls.
The officers and soldiers were busy doing hygiene. After hygiene, Tang Dao and a group of people from the regiment headquarters were busy. There were too many trivial matters.
The town may be the most lively two days in the history of the town building. Not only did the town spend a lot of money on the houses along both sides of the bluestone street, but the population increased dramatically.
Now, unlike the 2,000 locals before, it is said that merchants have the most sensitive sense of smell. Since they learned that an infantry regiment passed by here but had to stay for several days in the town, and they were asking for a large amount of daily necessities from the surrounding villagers. The merchants in the Zhengzhou city, more than ten miles away, were moved by the news. All kinds of goods were placed along the bluestone road in the town, which was much more abundant than the market before the New Year.
Although these days are in chaos and war with the Japanese, they are more concerned about their lives for ordinary people. No matter how difficult life is, they still have to live this year. Just like Yang Bailao, he is so poor that he also wants to give his daughter a red head rope to spend the New Year.
The goods suddenly became so abundant that the potential consumer groups were not only the officers and soldiers of the Four-Road regiment who were cleaned up and went out shopping on vacation, but also the villagers in the town with a radius of more than 20 miles.
They exchanged the surplus grains and chickens, ducks and fish at home a day or two ago, and their potential consumption capacity is not bad.
At this time, the surging crowds in the town are not inferior to the antique streets built with certain famous ancient cities in the future. Not to mention 20,000 to 30,000, or 10,000 or 10,000 is fine.
The mayor of the town couldn't ask for anything, and he smiled so much that he never closed his mouth after arriving at the junta of the Four Army Corps two days ago.
It is not a waste of time for merchants to set up street stalls. The town will collect taxes. Although there are not many, there are too many merchants who cannot hold back! Moreover, there are too many people coming, so you cannot find a place to eat and sleep? There are only two small restaurants in the town, and it can support so much population needs. In the end, it is not necessary to rely on the residents of the town, right?
The women in the town went to do free clothes for the Sihang Group, but the men were not idle. They made the simplest braised noodles at home and sold them at the market price. As long as the men are not lazy in each household, it is not a problem to sell four or five hundred bowls a day.
The town has made money by collecting taxes, and everyone has made money. The mayor's prestige has been qualitatively improved. The biggest beneficiary is the mayor named Huang Siren. How can he be unhappy!
Otherwise, this person was a capable man, Huang Siren knew that all of this was brought by the Sixing Group. He brought his younger brothers to the Sixing Group to beat gongs and drums to the Sixing Group, not only did it be a labor force for the military, but also quietly found the Sixing Group's headquarters, and Zhuang Shisan, who came forward to greet him, left fifty oceans and ran away.
It’s not that Tang Dao didn’t have time to see him, but this guy’s name was not good. When he heard the name of “Huang Shiren”, he couldn’t help but think of Yang Bailao and Xier, and Shi Tou’s sister was also called Ximei. Do you think Tang Dao is interested in seeing him?
The fifty oceans are not many for high-ranking officials and nobles, but for this small town mayor, it is a big deal. If it were the past, Chief of Staff of Zhuang Da would naturally accept it with peace of mind and then invite his subordinates to drink a big drink.
After several rounds of bloody battlefields, Zhuang Shisan's desire for money has become much smaller. It's not that he no longer loves money, but that he knows very well that money is nothing compared to living!
Besides, what kind of personality does Tang Dao have? He has been in contact with him for more than two months.
A gentleman loves money and gets it well. If you should take what you should get, you will not lose a penny. If you shouldn't take it, you will violate military discipline. Moreover, Tang Dao sets an example. Whether it is his future father-in-law or his battalion commander and company commander, he will make up all the accounts and deduct them from the military pay.
That's not a good example. Since the head of the regiment headquarters reported on his generous treat in January, whenever the head of the regiment headquarters was about to arrive, the leader of the Tang Dynasty would go to check the company below on time and squat with the big-headed soldiers for a temporary rest. Not to mention how diligent he was.
The officers and soldiers loved this behavior of a certain regiment. Perhaps Li Jiujin's company commander who had reminisced about it was rolling his eyes.
Tang Tuanzuo was clearly determined to eat the meal he had invited back, otherwise, how could he have brought his future father-in-law and his family members with pen, ink, paper and ink, just that, he called it the name of letting the old Dantai who was creating paintings to collect the field.
One person is obviously not enough, three people are needed, no, four people, and Erya who never leaves her for a moment must be counted, right?
"Tongzhao, what do you think of these fifty oceans? Otherwise, we will use it as a public service?" Zhuang Shisan suggested.
"Fifty oceans are used as public utility, and the expenses for our group are only superficial. The so-called increase in revenue and reduction of expenditure is the most important thing to increase revenue!" Tang Dao put down the planning book he was writing and thought about it carefully. "Since this is the first New Year since the newly established of our group, we should have a happy and joyful life, which is worse than this..."
There are not many fifty oceans, so it is better to use this as a bonus. Even if it is divided into fifty portions for lottery, the entire regiment of officers and soldiers can enjoy it.
Of course, Zhuang Shisan had no consent to this suggestion.
But Tang Dao's next plan was a bit big. He meant that the mayor of the town performed well. The residents of the town also gave a lot of help to the Four-Road Group. Now there are countless bamboo pole racks on the open space outside the town. The drying of military uniforms were all written with numbers, which were all masterpieces of the women in the town.
It would be better to have a military and civilian party, which reflects the friendship between the military and civilians. This is the first time that the officers and soldiers who have turned from the old army of the Four Corps are so close to ordinary people. And there will probably be more and more such things in the future, so it can be considered as making a template for them.
Being together with the people is definitely the patent of that army. With such a foundation, they have expanded their army from only 100,000 to hundreds of thousands or even more within several years, in North China, where the population is not large, which is not guaranteed.
If they were given sufficient military expenditure, Tang Dao would even say that the entire North China could be the whole of soldiers.
Although the common people have their own little thoughts, they are still simple after all. Whoever treats them well will do good to them.
Even though Tang Dao did not intend to recruit soldiers in this small town, letting the officers and soldiers accept the model of getting along with the people will be of great help to the Sixing Regiment in the future in poverty-stricken areas such as northwest Shanxi.
In the military and civilian party, the officers and soldiers of the Four-Royal Corps were educated, and the hearts of the people were also fleshy. They would also know the concept of defending the country from these programs that promote patriotism. The seeds were planted like this, even if there were very few, but they would sooner or later sprout and grow, especially after suffering.
Tang Dao never underestimated the flames. As the great man said, a spark can set off a prairie fire. A wildfire that can sweep the entire mountain range may be ignited by a small cigarette butt.
Moreover, Tang Dao was originally from the people's army and was closely connected with the people. Even without these purposes, he was essentially willing to be happy with the people.
This request is another large invoice expense.
Tang Dao's thinking pattern of the Spring Festival Gala comes from the future Spring Festival Gala. When watching the show, the officers and soldiers in the audience sit upright, and each of them gives away five milk candies. But after watching the show, they have to go to a banquet, one table, one infantry squad, eight cold dishes, eight hot dishes, and one hot pot.
After passing the Military Control Office, we inquired about the three largest restaurants in Zhengzhou City. The Sihang Group currently has 2,931 people and 196 tables. If the three major restaurants are not united, a restaurant will not be able to afford this big deal. Now the prices are soaring. The original food that can be filled with a table of food costs at least 1.8 yuan.
This price has already made Zhuang Shisan, the head logistics officer, feel extremely painful. Well, Tang Dao has proposed a military-civilian party now. The budget of more than 100 tables is increased by the residents of the town alone. If the nearby villagers are also moved, what can you still drive them away?
"That's easy! Cancel the original table-by-table banquet and give me a table. I have invited all the people from all four teams. As for the price, I can only ask you, the chief of staff, to negotiate with the bosses of the three major restaurants. If it doesn't work, we will produce ingredients, and they will produce chefs, helpers and tableware. We will pay the labor fee!
There is no need to be so exquisite in the food. If you want hot dishes, cold dishes, or hot pot, just serve me meat, steamed meat, stir-fried meat, boiled meat, and put it in a bowl. It’s enough for everyone to have fun.
As for tables, chairs, benches, etc., the most important thing in the countryside is wood. The most important thing in our four-way group is manpower. I can make long tables and long chairs for me to make them now!" Tang Dao made the final decision.
Tang Dao’s method is somewhat like the future rural wedding and wedding mode. The main house produces ingredients, and the merchant only needs to provide a chef to make it, and then pay the labor fee according to the table.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! It’s just that in this era, it may be possible for merchants to provide chefs to help with tableware, but they don’t have so many tables, chairs and benches.
But this is not a problem for Tang Dao, a ball of length.
For soldiers, they don’t take the battlefield of life and death seriously. They will be afraid of these small problems, without tables, chairs, benches, and now they are done.
The door panels and bed panels in the homes of residents in the town can be used as desktops, and four legs are nailed underneath.
The stool is even simpler. Once the big tree is cut, it is cut into several wooden boards, and a wooden pier is nailed to the bottom. A long wooden strip can definitely sit on six or seven people, and a flowing mat is also on it. Not to mention four or five thousand people have dinner, even ten thousand people can be solved after a few rounds.
Don’t say that the new model proposed by Tang Dao was soon adopted by the three major restaurants. The only thing that was difficult was that they didn’t have that much tableware.
Huang Siren, who participated in the negotiations, was at the peak of his life. When he heard this, he immediately jumped out and patted his chest to ensure that the insufficient tableware would be solved by the town. But every household took out some bowls, chopsticks and vegetable basins!
At that time, each household will put the owner's name on its own things, and then take it away after the completion. If there is any damage, the town will compensate you uniformly.
In two days, Mayor Huang, who had increased his income by 1,000 oceans in the town, wasn't he afraid of this loss?
With Mayor Huang's guarantee, the shopkeepers of the three major restaurants also made a promise to let all the military and civilians eat and drink well on New Year's Eve. As long as the ingredients prepared by the Sixing Group were enough, they could make half of the residents of Zhengzhou City eat a full stomach.
This is somewhat of a bragging thing, but no one exposes them. If a businessman doesn’t brag, how can he start a business?
Of course, Zhuang Shisan still doesn’t know that in the future, those who do finance and real estate have a net worth of tens of millions and are engaged in billions of transactions, and those who do billions of dollars will be filled with hundreds of billions of dollars. The more they dare to brag, the more they dare to invest money in it.
If it were the future hotel owner, he would dare to say that he could let the entire Henan Province people come to have a meal.
Of course, no matter how bragging is, the price has been reduced. The three major restaurants gave a friendly price. The 20 chefs and 80 helpers sent out were charged a total of 150 oceans. Including the various ingredients prepared by 10,000 people, the total price will not exceed 1,000 oceans.
The price is definitely not expensive. On average, each person is only 0.1 Yinyang, which is 20% lower than the previous price.
But what Tang Dao and Zhuang Shisan didn't expect was that as long as they were people, they would have a world of martial arts everywhere.
It’s not so good here yet! I wonder who spread the news that the Four-Rank Group is going to hold a military-civilian party to celebrate New Year’s Eve.
A reporter from the newspaper in Zhengzhou City moved and came to Zhuang Shisan for an interview. Zhuang Shisan was no longer the battalion commander of the security regiment who only knew how to make money. He took the big reason as Tang Dao and said that he wanted to take the opportunity to publicize how the Chinese army killed the enemy on the front line and spread the positive energy of defending the country.
After the reporter's pen was carefully crafted, in less than the afternoon, the residents of Zhengzhou City knew that the famous Sixing Camp on the Songhu Front, and the current Sixing Group has come to Zhengzhou.
Good guy, that's really the shadow of a famous tree. Ordinary residents have nothing to do. At most, they are just curious about what Tang Dao, an anti-Japanese hero, looks like, but those gentry are different.
He flew to the Sixing Tuan headquarters like snowflakes, hoping to invite Tang Dao and several officers from the Sixing Tuan headquarters to their homes or restaurants for dinner.
These guys are all human.
What they thought was not about what Tang Dao looked like, but about taking the opportunity to get familiar with Tang Dao.
The current situation of the war is obviously unfavorable to China. The Japanese are still a devil in Jinling. Although the First War Zone Command is stationed in Zhengzhou, these rich people are not sure. Young and promising generals like Tang Dao, who are definitely a hot spot in the eyes of the rich people of this era.
Isn’t it just a meal! At most, you can get familiar with Tang Dao with some gifts. Maybe you can use it that day? If you become a rich man, luck may be the decisive factor, but most of the brains are definitely enough.
And there is a more important point. It is said that Tang Dao is only in his early 20s. At this age, he is very likely not to be married yet. The rich people who have a daughter of appropriate age or niece at home must not try their best to pull up their plans!
Seeing that the prayers that could be piled up could be one foot high, Tang Dao's brain hurts.
In his past and present life, Tang Dao spent all his time in the military camp. He could do it with his superiors and subordinates, but he had very little dealing with these "social people". When he thought of having to be silly with these guys for several days, Tang Dao wanted to die.
But it is impossible not to eat the fat meat you give to your mouth. Zhuang Shisan clearly said that as long as you go, the white silver gift is indispensable. This is a hidden rule!
Merchants stand at the front desk to make money, and then share the benefits with the power. This was the case in ancient times and now.
I have to say that Old Dan Tai has experience. When he saw Tang Dao talking about this, he frowned and smiled and made a suggestion: "That's not easy to deal with. You want a military and civilian party. Since they want to see you, then come here too. You will see them all at once. Since you are here, you must not be empty-handed. The gift you gave is just as good as the expenses this time, maybe you will still have to make a profit!"
Tang Dao suddenly realized, smiled and gave his father-in-law a thumbs up, looking at the stack of prayers, and wished he could turn into two piles, no, three piles.
Chapter completed!
