Time flies, and more than two months have passed since Kong Jie's independent regiment was transferred to Xiaohuangshan.

In the past two months, the food that Li Yunlong had arranged for people to plant in the valley has sprouted.

These grains can almost completely solve the feeding problem of the entire army.

This also means that Li Yunlong's troops will no longer have food shortages in the future and can be self-sufficient in the future.

Under the mining efforts of Liu Hong and others, the mine has had a bumper harvest, and the output of various ores has almost doubled every day.

Coupled with the mining tools manufactured by Li Yunlong, the efficiency now is several times that of when it was first fired.

Just last month, Soviet technician Lovky also built a machine for refining the respective ores.

Especially the gold refining machine, which can extract a large amount of gold for Li Yunlong's troops every day.

With this gold, Li Yunlong can use it to buy the supplies they need.

At the same time, high-quality steel extracted from iron ore was continuously sent to the arsenal, and the production of new weapons was extremely smooth.

In the past month, the first batch of new weapons has been delivered to Li Yunlong.

But because now there is an independent regiment in addition to Li Yunlong's original new regiment, so generally speaking, the Eighth Route Army stationed in Xiaohuangshan has not yet been equipped with new weapons.

As for the coal mines, it was sent directly to the arsenal after being mined. With this coal, the arsenal almost never purchased it from outside.

The boss allocated a portion of the money saved to Li Yunlong.

After receiving the money, the first thing Li Yunlong did was to buy a large amount of cotton yarn to make new clothes for the troops and leather shoes for the soldiers.

With the improvement of gold mining efficiency, the food of the troops has also been greatly improved.

Li Yunlong had people buy a large number of poultry and raise them. Some poultry with a short growth cycle were already ready for slaughter.

Originally, ordinary troops ate meat once a week, but now they can eat it almost every three or four days.

After the food and nutrition caught up, the soldiers' physical condition has also been greatly improved. Now in the Xiaohuangshan Eighth Route Army, there are almost no soldiers with yellow faces, thin muscles, and stunted growth!

As his troops became rich, Li Yunlong did not forget the people around him.

He gave the cotton yarn he bought to nearby people and asked them to help make military uniforms. As a reward, those people who helped make military uniforms not only received two white-flour steamed buns every day, but also received monthly salary.

At the beginning, Kong Jie had put forward the opinion that these people only need to give them some food.

But Li Yunlong waved his hand and said: "Our Eighth Route Army serves the people. Now that the army has sufficient funds, it is not a big deal to give ordinary people a chance to make money!"

In addition, Li Yunlong wanted to increase the income of the people around him so that they could earn more money.

He spared no effort to encourage these people to raise chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep and other livestock.

If all are recycled by the army, the price will naturally be higher than on the market.

Not only that, Li Yunlong will also provide coal to local people for free to help them survive the winter.

But the premise is that everyone has to send someone at home to help with mining.

And these people who mine not only get wages, but also welfare coal to use.

In just two months, the quality of life of the Eighth Route Army soldiers in Xiaohuangshan and the nearby people has almost undergone a qualitative change.

The most intuitive manifestation of these changes is that everyone, whether they are soldiers or civilians, has a happy smile on their face.

In this troubled world, people everywhere are miserable, but only Li Yunlong's place is like a paradise!

This morning, Li Yunlong, Kong Jie and Zhao Gang were walking slowly on the road to the training ground.

Li Yunlong turned to look at Kong Jie and said jokingly: "Old Kong, how are you? Are you used to living here in Xiaohuangshan? Do you still want to go back to Yangcun?"

Kong Jie put away his cigarette and looked at Li Yunlong with strange eyes: "I'm telling you, Lao Li, don't hold on to my little tail! It's been more than two months, it's almost over!"

Zhao Gang on the side laughed: "Captain Kong, don't you understand Lao Li's temperament? Believe it or not, he can talk about this for the rest of his life!"

Kong Jie nodded in agreement: "I think so. Li Yunlong's mind is smaller than a sesame seed. It seems that my ears will never be clean in the future!"

Li Yunlong smacked his lips and looked at Zhao Gang with some dissatisfaction: "Old Zhao, we are partners. In the old saying, we are like a couple living together, and Kong Jie is an outsider."

"If you team up with outsiders to attack me, you'll end up in a pig cage!"

When Zhao Gang heard this, an ugly look suddenly appeared on his face.

"Lao Li, these are all messy metaphors. If you don't know, you would think that I, Zhao Gang, have done something to you!"

The three of them burst into laughter.

At this moment, Huzi ran over in a hurry.

"Deputy Brigadier, Director Zhang is back!"

Li Yunlong was stunned, turned to look at Kong Jie and said with a smile: "Old Kong, it seems that the new weapons of the Independent Regiment have also arrived."

"Let's go! Let's go see it together!"

Kong Jie nodded. He had been thinking about Li Yunlong's new equipment for a long time, and now it was finally here. How could he not be excited?

The three of them quickly arrived at the military camp warehouse. At this time, Zhang Wanzheng was directing the soldiers to unload the new weapons on the vehicle while eating white-flour steamed buns.

"Lao Zhang, what's going on? Go back and the arsenal doesn't care about your food anymore?" Li Yunlong asked jokingly.

After swallowing the white flour steamed bun in his mouth, Zhang Wan waved his hand and said: "Old Li, it's not that the arsenal doesn't care about my food, but the food here is so good that I've been fed so much by you that I really can't eat the food in the arsenal.

Went down, barely managed to deal with two people, and then rushed back with the equipment."

Li Yunlong laughed, not even making fun of him.

"Old Zhang, how many new weapons have you brought back this time? Are they enough for the remaining people to wear?"

Zhang Wan chuckled: "Lao Li, don't worry about this. This time there are not only enough weapons to equip the remaining people, but there is also a surplus."

"By the way, I met the boss when I came back. The boss said that you, Li Yunlong, have almost equipped you with new weapons, and the next ones will be produced for other troops!"

Li Yunlong nodded: "That's natural. I, Li Yunlong, always keep my promises. However, if my troops are expanding, new weapons must be given to me first!"

Zhang Wan couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and secretly complained in his heart: "Fortunately, Li Yunlong is in charge of two regiments now. If you are in charge of one army, will other units still get this new weapon?"

Of course Li Yunlong could clearly see Zhang Wan's expression, but Li Yunlong was in a good mood recently and didn't say much.

It's just that Li Yunlong is in a good mood!
