Xianyu Infrastructure, I have a lot of troops in my hands

As the temperature drops, coal shipments increase significantly. Xie Xian's honeycomb coal and iron stove accessories sell very well and are often out of stock. I heard that the price in Kangjian has increased several times.

But Xie Xian didn't care. As the origin of coal, Que County didn't need any fancy things.

Just spend a few dollars to buy a stove bar, ask someone to help build a clay stove, a fire wall, or a kang, and the whole family can spend the winter in warmth.

Xie Xian did not charge for the slag used to pave the road. Some people burned the slag in front of their doors, digging pits everywhere.

Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Xie Xian made a rule that if the road was damaged, public carriages would simply change their route.

Xie Xian was somewhat casual about the car dealership. It didn't make money, but it was a benefit to the city. Anyway, as long as it could take its employees home, it would be fine. If the road was not good, then it would be better to go on a better road!

She never pampers anyone.

After the carriage changed the route several times, the village elders came to their senses and severely criticized those people who dug the holes and did not fill them up. Then they paid someone to repair the road, hoping that the carriage could pass by their village.

Xie Xian didn't care. She had only one principle: if it was fixed, she would run away. If it wasn't fixed, she would find another way. It was up to her to fix it or not.

In this way, several villages near Black Stone Mountain were involved in the road construction project.

Xie Xian's move made the clan deacons astonished. It only took Xie Xian half a month to change the situation from everyone discussing the mood swings of the second house's female ruler to the current chorus of praise.

She has become a master at reverse moral kidnapping. As long as I have no morals, no one can make me eat the KFC gift pack.

If asked why cement was not used to pave the road, Xie Xian could only say that she was too naive.

Ancient cement required limestone and gypsum, and had to be calcined and mixed at high temperatures. The fineness of the cement was far beyond the reach of the small crusher in her hand today.

So she could only take a shower and go to bed.

Xie Xian felt helpless as she had a lot of money in her hands, the recruitment of new soldiers for Blackrock Guard had also come to an end, and her jungle equipment was not ready yet.

Harvest in autumn and store in winter. Winter is a good season for catching rabbits. After Xie Xian purchased a large amount of cloth and leather, she found that the prices were still too high.

Cotton is not yet popular, people still use linen and silk, but these things are very cool to wear.

Xie Xian had no choice but to purchase a batch of cotton, also known as kapok, from the south at a high price. The kapok of this period was far less fluffy than that of later generations, with short fibers, small flowers, and underdeveloped planting technology.

It can only be used to make quilts and ropes, and it needs to be threshed manually. In ancient times when textile technology was not advanced enough, it really had no advantages.

Xie Xian just felt that her head was bald, but no matter how difficult it was, in order to be able to lie down and live a comfortable life in the future, cotton cloth must appear.

By the time the Qianji Battalion put on their winter clothes, it was already mid-December.

Liu Yu and his team have been training new recruits during this period. As the busy farming season has passed and their injuries have mostly healed, they get together on weekdays when they have nothing to do and have the old ones train the new ones.

Most of these new recruits are nephews and nieces of various families, so they know each other! If the uncles and aunts here call them, how can you not teach them?

Si Ji squatted on a wooden stake beside the training ground, squinting his eyes and thinking to himself: "What a mean method this lady has!"

On the field, a burly man with a grim smile on his face would spew out all kinds of dialects mixed with obscenities whenever the recruits ran out of energy while carrying weights, "You guys are a bunch of ballless bastards. What's the point of eating so much every day..."

He alone increased the amount of training this week.

This is the instructor appointed by the lady herself, and he is paid to scold people.

"Tsk tsk, they are much more energetic now than before." Niu Er came over at some point.

A few days ago, Xie Xian came to inspect the training of the new recruits. These young people were quite fresh and full of energy when they first arrived, but military training is boring, with the same things happening every day, which made them lose enthusiasm.

Xie Xian called Liu Yu and a few others together and proposed a team competition, as well as military song and Cuju competitions. The purpose was to combine education with entertainment.

The lady said that they are now professional soldiers, completely full-time, and in addition to improving their physical fitness, they also need to cultivate an indomitable will, so they hired a teacher to teach them to read and learn the Xie family army regulations in the evening.

They have nothing to do, but they are very busy this week.

"Tell me, where do the ladies get all these tricks?" Niu Er asked with his hands in his pockets.

"I haven't seen it in any military books before! And I insisted on teaching them to read at night. The way those little guys scratched their heads was so funny."

Si Ji glanced at him and asked: "Have you memorized the courses for the counselor?" Xie Xian also had arrangements for these retired guards, which was to transfer them to civilian positions and become counselors.

Each team of fifty people is equipped with a counselor, who is responsible for teaching them battlefield knowledge and mainly supervises them to memorize military regulations, the eight major disciplines, and the duties of a soldier.

These rough guys who only knew how to chop people would also be shocked.

Finally, they looked at Xie Xian and no longer dared to look down on her. She wanted to completely educate the team from heart to body. What a terrible ambition.

This is also something that no previous king of punishment has done, that is, to tell the guards why they are fighting.

Although the regulations are quite strict and similar to their previous military rules and laws, there are still big differences if you look closely. In the past, they only restricted the lower-level soldiers, but the new regulations are restrictions on everyone.

From top to bottom, no one may violate it.

Supervision, reporting, and assessment are all in one place. Anyone who dares to form cliques in the army will be taken away for investigation as soon as someone reports it. If it is true, the official position will be immediately removed. If the mistake is serious, there is a possibility of being sent to a mine to serve the sentence.

It’s not that no one has resisted. Some people were bewitched by the border troops and wanted to lead a group of people to defect, but before they could gain momentum, they were reported by their subordinates.

That person was also in disbelief. As the captain of the team, could it be possible that the brotherhood of life and death they had shared for several years was fake?

But the guards in his team only said one sentence, "If we follow you, you can get a small official position, but what about us?" "Yes!

They have been at the border for so many years. Whose Wubao doesn't oppress the soldiers? Whose army treats the lower-level soldiers as human beings? It is natural that they get the lion's share of the rewards for their meritorious service.

Ordinary soldiers at the bottom are always exploited and hopeless.

Among those who returned, there was a non-commissioned officer who fell in love with the sister of one of his soldiers and wanted to force her to marry him, but he resisted.

Xie Xian attached great importance to this matter and transferred people from the Discipline Hall to hold a trial in front of a thousand people at the Black Stone Guard training ground.
