After getting up early in the morning, after breakfast, Wang Xiaolie walked around the back office a few times. The morning air is fresh and scented with flowers, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Seeing that it was still early, Wang Xiao left the yamen and went to the place where recruits were being trained nearby. Recruit training is different from that of veterans, who train all day long. And it’s not just about physical training, but also about discipline and equipment.
After walking a few steps, I saw Chi Yuping standing there at the door of the barracks, with tears in his eyes.
Wang Xiaolie called Cao Ying, the instructor on duty. Asked: "That Chi Yuping, why didn't you go to training?"
Cao Ying crossed his hands and said: "Back in Zhizhou, he was too fat. After running three steps, he was too tired to move his legs. He just delayed others. There was no other way but to let him stand there. Eat less every day. Eat, wait until you lose weight, and then train together.”
Wang Xiaolie shook his head: "Coach, if you want to lose weight, do you know what to do?"
Cao Ying said: "If you are fat, you naturally eat too much. As long as you eat less, you can lose weight in a few days."
Wang Xiaolie said with a smile: "If you want to lose weight, just eating less is not enough. If you eat too little, you may get sick. If you want to lose weight, remember six words: shut up and open your legs. This is what ordinary people say , pay attention to eating less and not overeating. More importantly, move your legs. After eating every day, you will lie down and not move. Of course, you will get fatter. I think this Chi Yuping should not move very much. . In our army, the daily training is not as good as that of ordinary people. Don’t keep your mouth shut, he has to eat every meal just like a normal soldier. After eating, he cannot be allowed to stand like that, but has to train. Because obesity is not related to It doesn't matter if you fuck someone else, just let him slow down. But you must not let him stop!"
Cao Ying was a little embarrassed: "Zhizhou, if this is the case, won't it delay others? I have more than a hundred soldiers, how can he do it alone?"
Wang Xiaolie said: "People who join the army together should know each other and love each other. Choose one of your men who is particularly well-trained to accompany Chi Yuping on your behalf. First, keep an eye on him and not allow him to be lazy and slippery. Second, teach him by words and deeds. , be an example to him.”
Cao Ying was a little reluctant. In doing so, you will delay yourself and others. But looking at Wang Xiaolie's appearance, he could only agree.
Wang Xiaolie said: "It is not easy to recruit these new soldiers into the army. If we cannot train them out, we have failed in our duty! Remember, the instructor in the recruit camp has a heavy responsibility. If a soldier is unqualified, the instructor must carefully reflect on whether he can Leave it alone!”
Seeing Wang Xiaolie's serious attitude, Cao Ying hurriedly crossed his hands and said yes.
After letting Cao Ying leave, Wang Xiaolie watched for a while. Finally, Shao Ling was found.
Arriving in front of Wang Xiaolie, Shao Ling saluted.
Wang Xiaolie said: "Commander, this is a new military camp in Xinye. There should be a new system and it cannot be the same as before. I looked here and found that the number of instructors is too small now. How can one instructor manage more than a hundred people? You select some particularly good veterans from the original army and come here temporarily to be the instructors. It may be for three months or for half a year, and then other people will come over. Try to ensure that one instructor can lead no more than twenty recruits. People. By the way, it’s best if two teachers, the principal and the deputy, teach in pairs, not just one person.”
Shao Ling was startled after hearing this: "Why? Zhizhou, the original army also has to train, it's not nothing. Come here, veterans, doesn't it delay the original army training? These new soldiers are just to practice their strength and know the discipline. I’m familiar with the formation, it’s not complicated.”
Wang Xiaolie shook his head: "When new recruits first enter the military camp, if they are well trained, they will easily become elite soldiers later on. If they are not well trained, even if they are assigned to the army, it will be difficult for them to become good soldiers later on. Do not ignore the courtesy to the new recruits. Camp! First of all, the recruits must be able to endure hardships and stand hard work in the recruit camp. Secondly, teach them to observe discipline. Thirdly, they must be familiar with equipment formations."
Shao Ling usually didn't think about how to train new recruits. In the past, there was no centralized training for new recruits in the army. When new recruits join the army, they are assigned to various camps. Follow others and you will learn quickly. The military didn't understand why Wang Xiaolie was setting up a new military camp here.
The new military camp was an important military system in later generations. After unified training, recruits can learn military skills as soon as possible, become familiar with military disciplines, and understand military systems. After replenishing the army, together with the veterans in the army, the combat effectiveness of the army will not decrease. When facing a major war, there will be new barracks training in the rear, which can ensure a continuous supply of troops.
When was this? Facing the critical moment when the country was ruined and the family was destroyed, how could Wang Xiaolie let it go when he finally had a chance to breathe? With a complete new army camp, a large number of troops can be trained. With an army in hand, you have capital.
In fact, Wang Xiaolie couldn't explain very clearly how to train new soldiers. But after a year, it’s not the same as last year. Now the military is familiar with the training and system of the Forbidden Forces. All they need to do is use it carefully and transform it.
He repeatedly told Shao Ling not to take it lightly. Looking at the sky, Wang Xiaolie said: "I'm going to Xinyang Army for a few days. When I come back, I have to go to Xiangyang Mansion. You should pay more attention these days to help the new recruits adapt to military life as soon as possible."
Shao Ling crossed his hands and said yes. But I still have doubts in my heart about how to practice.
After returning to the Yamen and changing into casual clothes, Wang Xiaolie took a hundred guards and left Xinye City. Crossed Bishui, passed through Huyang and Tongbai, and arrived at Xinyang Army five days later. Zhang Jun got the news and came out of the city early to welcome him.
The city looks neat, but a little deserted. Wang Xiaolie said: "Of the states we occupy, your place is the quietest."
Zhang Jundao: "Xinyang Army is a small place, not on the commercial road, and there are few merchants, so it is naturally deserted. However, the mountains and rivers here are beautiful, the climate is pleasant, and there are many scenery around. It is good to live here."
At this time, the Xinyang Army only governed Xinyang and Luoshan counties. It was not like it later governed many counties. It was indeed a small place. And unlike Dengzhou, Tangzhou and other places, it belongs to the North Beijing Road. Relatively speaking, it is indeed remote.
The Huainan tea gardens of the Song Dynasty were located in Guangzhou, Gushi and Shangcheng, not within the territory of the Xinyang Army. Therefore, in later generations, Xinyang Maojian tea was the best tea in the world, and its main production areas were also in Xinyang and Luoshan, but at this time, its reputation was not obvious.
When we arrived at Houya, a pavilion was built next to a large osmanthus tree, surrounded by various flowers. Zhang Jun set up a table here to welcome Wang Xiaolie. The environment here is quiet and surrounded by the fragrance of flowers, which is a good place.
After going in to wash up and change into casual clothes, Zhang Jun accompanied Wang Xiao to the pavilion.
The two sat down. Wang Xiaolie said: "Although the Xinyang Army is small, its geographical location is very important. Moreover, the tea produced here is really precious in the area we currently occupy. To do things, you must have money. We are short of money now. . I got some money by killing Yang Jin and Wang Jun, and I have spent it almost in the past few months. If I can't make money as soon as possible, I will be in trouble later. With the tea farm, I can get a lot of money!"
Zhang Jun said: "Zhizhou, I have also asked these days. Although the Xinyang Army belongs to the Huainan tea farm, it does not produce much tea. Now the tea farms that collect tea are all in Guangzhou. It was not convenient to sell tea in the past, and there were few people growing it. Moreover, the tea farms Most people don’t make group tea, but loose tea.”
"Loose tea?" Wang Xiaolie's eyes lit up after hearing this. "What's wrong with loose tea? It naturally has a unique flavor!"
Zhang Jundao: "Now Tuancha is the most valuable. Only rural people who cannot afford Tuancha drink loose tea. Besides, Tuancha is good luck, and loose tea is not easy to transport, and it is easy to perish."
Wang Xiaolie shook his head after hearing this: "You can't say that. Loose tea is as good as loose tea. Tomorrow you take me to the tea area to have a look. Loose tea has its own method of making loose tea, and it can still be made of high quality. Tea."
How can Zhang Jun believe it? Wang Xiaolie just thought that he was dizzy thinking about money and said nothing more.
Most of the tea produced in the Song Dynasty was ball tea, which was made using steamed green tea and pressed into balls. When drinking, crush it and boil it with ginger and cinnamon, which is somewhat similar to the decoction of later generations. The rest of the flavor should be Japanese matcha. In addition to group tea, some low-end tea leaves are not pressed into balls and are called loose tea. Historically, it was during the Ming Dynasty that Zhu Yuanzhang ordered loose tea to be used for tribute tea instead of Tuancha. Tuancha soon disappeared. From this, various teas were developed in later generations.
In the memory of his previous life, the tea that Wang Xiaolie remembered was nothing more than green tea, oolong, black tea, Pu'er, and some minor categories. It is roughly divided into fermented tea and unfermented tea. The most familiar one is of course green tea.
Given the sophisticated tastes of the Chinese people, delicious tea was certainly a recipe for later generations. Zhu Yuanzhang's tribute tea and waste group tea were certainly not a whim, but over time, the tea making method developed a new process and laid a foundation.
The Japanese have a unique character. They retain matcha and develop a whole set of rules that cannot be analyzed from the taste. Most of the time, Japanese traditional culture has little to do with taste and has its own logic.
Wang Xiao hunted Xinyang Army just to make tea for future generations. Although I am not familiar with tea making, I have watched documentaries several times and I still remember the general steps. With these steps of later generations, there are skilled craftsmen who can make good tea.
