Chapter 487 Catfish Stewed Eggplant

The next morning, before dawn, the sound of the fort mid-sized sound was heard, and everyone came out to gather. This is the characteristic of Wang Xiaoliu's army. Whether it is windy or rainy, he must gather every day to get up, and he must gather. After dinner at night, he must gather and go to bed. Other troops usually have a training day for a few days, and the rest of the time is relatively relaxed.

After everyone assembled, Shu Jiming stepped forward and said, "From today on, we will be the garrison of Shibi Fort. In the past five days, I, together with the military envoy and the bookmaker, checked the surrounding terrain and made a construction plan. Each team was led by the left junction level, first sorted out the places in the fort. In addition, two teams were led by the right junction level to organize the moat. The river channel was dredged and prepared to divert water over again."

Everyone sang promised.

After arranging today's things, Shu Jiming asked everyone to disband. He led the left-level on duty to do morning classes first.

When they arrived at the fort hall, Shu Jiming patted a stool. He waited until the flying dust settled before sitting down on it. He said to Wang Zhongfu: "What charter do we have to implement here should be discussed."

Wang Zhongfu sat opposite him and said, "The rules set by the Jiaofu Department cannot be violated. It is only profit or loss at the discretion of the discretion. In addition, Jiaofu also specifically reminded the various departments that whether they are farming or defending the city, the army's organization cannot be dispersed. I think this is the case, there must be morning classes. We cannot be afraid of trouble. Once the morning classes are saved, the morale of the army will be in chaos. The daily training will be led by the star officer, and the rest of the officers discuss the matters for a day. What you do every day must be planned and summarized after it is done. The logs in the capital cannot be saved, and the officers on duty will be responsible."

Shu Jiming nodded: "The military envoy said the truth. These red tapes are annoying when doing them, but once they are saved, the entire organization will begin to disintegrate. In addition, except when they are very busy, military training must be done."

The two discussed. Soon, the bookkeeper Shi Dun came in and saluted them.

Let Shi Duan sit down, Shu Jiming said: "Shusband, what are the rules set by the Zhaofu Department? You can sort out and list them for everyone to see. We have to discuss these carefully, which ones should be followed and which ones should be changed, and then report them to the Zhaofu Department. Although we are only stationed in a fortress, things are complicated and troublesome. Today, we will lead everyone to work at the left and right levels, and the three of us will go around."

Shi Duan bowed and praised his promise.

Wang Zhongfu said: "We must decide what to plant in each plot in the village as soon as possible, and report it to the Zhaofu Department to release seeds. This winter, we will take advantage of the slack farming time to reclaim wasteland and plant it early next spring. Everything goes well, so there is no need for the Zhaofu Department's food and grass."

Shu Jiming said: "I'm afraid that in winter, the Jin army will attack the sacred mountain, so we will have no time to reclaim the land."

Wang Zhongfu said: "You must believe in Jiang Zhaofu. Even if the Jin soldiers come, you can't stay for too long and will not delay us."

The three of them discussed for a while, looked at the sun rising, and took two messengers out of the fort and checked around.

Hong Yi brought military troops to clean up the fort. Which houses to live in need of people should be repaired first, and the outside should be cleaned if they are not occupied. There are many houses that collapsed in Shibi Fort, and almost no one is still intact. Hong Yi arranged manpower with the fort hall as the center. He specially brought a team of men to repair the fort gate. He built the door. Although the fort wall was not complete, it looked like that.

Guo Xiao led two people to dredge the moat at the right section.

The river water was brought from the Shibi River and had been silted. Most of the water in the moat was dry, leaving only small puddles. In summer, the soil washed down from heavy water was piled up in the east and west of the river.

When he went down to the moat, Guo Xiao cursed: "Zhi Niang, it's just October, and it's frozen here! It's quite thick and can stand up! Everyone works harder, and if you don't take advantage of the time to repair it now, you can't even practice it in another month!"

The soldiers responded to the promise and came to the river.

Guo Xiao looked around and said, "Looking at this, we will practice once a day, and it will be completed in four days. Each team came over, we will examine the river channel and dispatch it. Come on, don't waste time."

After raising the team, Guo Xiao led his eyes to the river in the south and assigned tasks to the two teams.

Outside Shibi Castle, Wang Zhongfu, Shu Jiming and Shi Duan looked at the surrounding terrain. Shi Duan measured it with steps and looked at the land close to Shibi Castle. He said, "The good land here is about 300 acres. If you repair the channels, you can water it. If you plant wheat, one acre of land should produce two stones of grain. There will be more than 600 stones, which can be supplied to a hundred people, enough for us to eat."

Shu Jiming said: "It's so easy to eat a full meal? But six stones per person is still a little less."

Wang Zhongfu said: "Du Tou, how can you only eat? You can produce 600 kilograms of wheat. You can plant some millet, millet, sorghum, soybeans and the like in the dry land around you. Not only is it enough for people to eat, but even horses have enough forage."

Wheat straw does not have much nutrition and is not suitable for grass. However, millet, millet and soybean stems are different, and are high-quality feed. If the food in the irrigated land is enough to eat, then the crops in the dry land will be harvested and there will be no shortage of food and grass.

Shu Jiming thought carefully and nodded, "The bookkeeper said it well. Just cultivate the water below and the food will be enough. In this way, it is not difficult to support the military soldiers, but is it just a little work!"

Wang Zhongfu said: "Dutao, as long as there is land, soldiers can certainly earn enough food. Our army does not bring family members and is all young, so how can we farm less than farmers? The difficulty is that we cannot train farming. Once the army lacks training, its combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. What is the biggest worry about when we recruit comforting? It is not that we cannot grow food, but that we cannot guarantee combat effectiveness."

Shu Jiming said: "It makes sense. It is not easy to ensure both food and grass and combat effectiveness."

Wang Zhongfu said: "Of course it's not easy. I guess everyone should work together to find a way for this matter. Otherwise, relying solely on the bottom of the country, this matter is a bit difficult. Let's first think about what to do in our castle. What are the strengths, weaknesses, what to do in the future, and what are the worries. Report to the Ministry of Recruitment and Fuzhou and wait for the decision to go up to the top."

Shu Jiming nodded in agreement.

The three of them walked around Shibi Castle together. They decided to dig the pond, plant fruit trees, plant mulberry, dates, and vegetable gardens. They arranged them one by one. Seeing the sun setting in the west, they returned to the fort together.

When he walked outside the south gate, he saw Guo Xiao and two teams of people finishing work. There were seven or eight soldiers carrying two baskets, and gasping for breath.

Shu Jiming saw it and said to Guo Xiao: "Second level, what is in that basket?"

Guo Xiao said: "Go back to the capital, the moat looks dry, and I don't expect there are such a big catfish inside. We caught two baskets and carried them back into the fort. Now we are working hard, so we can replenish our bodies."

Wang Zhongfu said: "Okay, okay! When we came to Shibi Castle, we brought some eggplant and stewed them together tonight. Look at your fish with two large baskets, which should be enough for the soldiers in Dudu to eat."

Guo Xiao nodded: "Although I haven't eaten catfish stewed eggplant, I think it tastes good. There is a special place to put some black fish and so on in the river, and I will eat it slowly in the next few days."

"Okay, okay! There is no meat to eat now, and there is also fish to eat!"

Several people were talking and walked into the castle.
