Chapter 378 [Various military supplies are coming continuously]
The young man's face suddenly darkened, and his tone was slightly solemn as he said: "Did Cheng Shiqi do any statistics after the incident? For example, which government soldiers slept with Hebei women, and whether their names were recorded."
Zhao Laosi was surprised at first. He didn't expect that the young boy's sudden change of expression would be so powerful. He swallowed subconsciously and quickly explained: "It's recorded. It's all recorded. The next day, General Cheng Qi also took out a
In such a small notebook as yours, he recorded the names of the soldiers one by one, and even their hometown addresses. General Cheng Qiqi said at the time that women from Hebei would be responsible for sleeping with them. After the war, those soldiers would no longer
They are allowed to return to Jeju Prefecture, but they have to stay in Hebei Province and marry those women to live... The soldiers they get on the battlefield will become the money to raise those Hebei women and children."
The young man's face suddenly became like a spring breeze again, and he smiled and said: "This Cheng Shiqi is not bad, he is worthy of being a member of the senior brother's family."
He smiled and turned to look at Zhao Laosi, and suddenly said: "The big pot of stew you ate that day was also sent by people from the aristocratic family, right? If my guess is correct, I'm afraid you didn't just eat meat,
Ordinarily, you will receive some kind of supplies, right?"
Zhao Laosi nodded heavily.
This honest man from Shandong showed happiness on his face, and murmured as if reminiscing: "That was the first time in my life that I wore such warm clothes, and it was also the first time in my life that I knew that there is a kind of big coat called cotton.
jacket……"
"We soldiers like to call it military coat."
The young man laughed loudly, reached out and patted Zhao Laosi, and said: "This name is really good. Maybe it will become a popular word in the future. I will record it and send it back to Master for promotion!"
He paused for a moment, thought to himself and then said: "Military Coat, Military Coat, this name sounds very ordinary, but when you think about it carefully, it turns out to be very appropriate. Sure enough, the master is right, knowledge comes from the people.
Come here. Although you soldiers are not literate, life has given you the most simple knowledge. For example, the name of this military coat is much better than the name we scholars came up with..."
Several soldiers beside the bonfire looked at each other blankly. Zhao Laosi looked at the young man with a confused face and said naively: "Brother Lu, you seem to care about the names we gave to the military coats. But why?
?Is it important that we name it?”
But I saw the young man writing in a small notebook, nodding towards Zhao Laosi with a solemn face, and solemnly said: "It's important, it's very important. My master once said that everything in the world pays attention to a name. For example, this
Every object in the world should have a name that matches it. But this name should not come from the manufacturer, but should come from the user's personal experience. Only those who have experienced it can have the right to name it, because it is appropriate...
"
When the young man finished speaking these words, he happened to stop recording in his hand. Suddenly, with a hint of intent on his little face, he narrowly blinked at a few soldiers and asked in a very funny way: "What do you think?"
Let me guess, what was the name of this military coat when it was first produced?"
He seemed to be asking the soldiers, but he laughed out loud first and said: "In all the wars since ancient times, the materials used by the army are the top priority, and the profits involved are huge, which often leads to disputes.
Robbery. This is a hugely profitable business, and no family wants to miss it. Whether it is the old aristocratic families of the Tang Dynasty, or the emerging forces rising from the Tiance Mansion, or even our former enemies, the Turks, and the various people around the Tang Dynasty.
In the small neighboring countries, anyone who feels a little bit powerful will stare eagerly at the matter of military supplies..."
"As the saying goes, before the food and grass are moved, the soldiers and horses go first. The moment His Majesty the Tang Dynasty launched the recruitment of soldiers, everyone was immediately sure that this war would definitely start. And before the war starts, the first thing to prepare is military supplies."
"If any family gets a supply of military supplies, the family's strength will inevitably increase by leaps and bounds. Under this huge temptation, almost every force is racking their brains to find a way..."
"Several of the families reacted very smartly. They immediately came up with large coats suitable for soldiers to wear. They were made of enough cotton but not bulky. So after they came out, this kind of coat immediately won the jackpot.
Both His Majesty and my Master praised them, but when they were about to draw up the purchase contract, the excited group of people were all dumbfounded..."
"If you're just busy making stuff but forget to name it, you can't just call it Big Jacket, right? That would be such a silly and silly name."
"So in the court that day, the ministers launched a naming event in full swing."
When the young man said this, he seemed to be laughing and burst into laughter, and said: "My senior brother's father is a well-known rough man. He was the first to jump out and laugh, and said proudly that he had thought of it.
What a good name. Your Majesty and my master were both surprised and asked him quickly what good name he had thought of. As soon as the Duke mentioned the name, everyone in the civil and military dynasties stood frozen on the spot..."
"Dasheng jacket! The name he gave to the military cotton-padded jacket is Dasheng jacket! It means that when the soldiers wear this kind of cotton-padded jacket, they can win a great victory in every battle... Hahahaha, I laughed to death, the meaning is a good one
, but the name is really in vain.”
The young man laughed so hard that he slapped the ground with his hands.
However, the soldiers beside the bonfire looked at each other in confusion. They couldn't understand why the young man was laughing.
Zhao Laosi scratched his forehead and said slightly confused: "Dasheng coat? This is a very nice name. Wearing a big coat can win a great victory, I think this name is really good."
The young man was stunned for a moment, looking at Zhao Laosi, and said: "If Uncle Cheng's words were heard by you, I'm afraid he would immediately reward you with a wave of his hand, and he might even be so happy that he laughed wildly at you.
become sworn brothers."
Zhao Laosi's mouth trembled and he said repeatedly: "I don't dare, I don't dare. He is a big shot and a well-known Duke of the country."
The young man chuckled and said: "What about the Duke? He doesn't have much money in his stomach. For example, there was a Duke in the court that day. His name was Liu Hongji. He also gave the big cotton-padded jacket a name, and even gave it a special name.
It was accompanied by a limerick, which said, 'The big coat is stuffed with cotton and is very thick. When soldiers wear it, everyone will praise it.' Therefore, he named the big coat Dingguagua..."
Several soldiers were stunned at the name, and then Mingli said: "This is a good name, and there is even a poem in it. He is indeed worthy of being a Duke of the country. He is much better at naming than us roughnecks."
The young man was obviously stunned and asked blankly: "Do you think that is poetry?"
I saw all the soldiers nodded and said: "Yes!"
The young man took a deep breath, as if he was deep in self-doubt.
After a long time, he said in a dull voice: "Forget it, let's not talk about this. This matter is my interruption, and there is no need to discuss this topic. In short, you remember, those princes are
The name was just nonsense. Both His Majesty the Tang Dynasty and my master had dark faces at that time... In the end, my master decided to shelve the name of the big coat for the time being. He assigned the task to us young war reporters,
Let us go among the soldiers to take suggestions, and if we find a very appropriate name, we will immediately record the name and send it back to Youzhou."
The young man paused here, looked at Zhao Laosi and others, and said: "And I am very lucky. I heard the name Military Coat from you. It is very appropriate and simple. I have 100% confidence in it."
I'm sure, Master and the others will like this name... Congratulations to Fourth Brother Zhao, you might be summoned by my Master."
Zhao Laosi was stunned and subconsciously scratched his forehead.
However, he saw that the young man no longer continued this topic, but raised the small notebook in his hand again and said: "Brother Zhao, please continue talking. I have only written half of your military experience.
Well. What happened next, I need to write it all down in my notebook..."
"What happened next?"
Zhao Laosi suddenly fell into memories again.
…
"The big pot of stew that we ate that day was also brought here in a dozen carts. But I heard General Cheng Qiqi negotiate with them, and it seems that this time there is no need to pay for the big pot of stew.
"
"At that time, I was still wondering why I didn't even need to spend three cents. I soon understood why. It turned out that those people's main thoughts were not on stew, or in other words, they didn't like stew.
That little money.”
"It was an old man with a kind face. He put a thick coat on me, and then he squatted on the ground like me."
"His tone was gentle. It reminded me of Grandpa Jiu in the village. He asked me with a smile, where is my little brother from? Does the stew in the big pot just now taste good? How many people are there in the family? There are children.
How many are there?”
"A series of questions, just like chatting with each other, I was a little cautious at first, but gradually I started chatting with him more freely. And after the old man saw that I no longer flinched, his face suddenly showed a kind of expression.
It’s like an expression that reassures someone.”
"His voice became gentler, and he patted my shoulder with a smile. He said to me, little brother, we are friends now. The rest of our conversation will be without any pressure or inducement, right?"
"I didn't understand what he meant at the time, so I could only nod my head stupidly."
"The old man was even more satisfied. He suddenly pointed at the big coat wrapped around me. His questions became very strange, and his expression became very nervous..."
The young man suddenly interrupted and said: "Did he ask you nervously if you felt warm after putting on the big coat? Then he asked you if you really want a coat like this."
Zhao Laosi nodded quickly and said: "Yes, yes, that's what he asked. And after he asked, he looked straight at me, as if he was afraid that I was not satisfied with the answer, as if he was afraid that I didn't want the answer..."
This honest Shandong man paused for a moment while speaking, with a look of confusion on his face, and said to himself blankly: "But why? Why does that old man look so nervous?"
The young man smiled faintly, his tone vaguely arrogant, and said solemnly: "This is because my master has set a rule that the supply of any military supplies must first satisfy the soldiers. Even if they have signed a supply contract with the court, once the soldiers
If we feel dissatisfied, we must make rectifications. If we are still not satisfied after rectifications, we will cancel the purchase order directly..."
Zhao Laosi seemed to understand.
The young man didn't seem to intend for him to understand everything, but continued to look at Zhao Laosi and said: "Now it seems that your answer at that time was that you really wanted a big coat, so the material supply from that company will take effect, causing you Jeju
All the soldiers in the government are wearing military coats, right?"
Zhao Laosi nodded quickly and said with some embarrassment: "I was wearing a big coat and it felt heavy on my body. Although the wind and snow were heavy that day, my whole body felt warm. Plus the old man smiled kindly,
It made me feel kind-hearted from the bottom of my heart, so I answered according to his wishes."
The young man smiled slightly and said calmly: "As expected of the old fox of the Cui family in Qinghe, the one who talked to you that day must be the big family elder in charge of business in their family. In order to ensure the supply of cotton clothes, he directly dispatched the big family elders and squatted on the ground in person to follow
You have such a good army, and if you can do it to such an extent, Cui Shi of Qinghe can hardly be considered sincere."
After he finished speaking, the young man smiled faintly, his tone vaguely arrogant, and said solemnly: "This is because my master has set a rule that any supply of military supplies must first satisfy the soldiers. Even if they have already informed the court.
A supply contract has been signed, but once the soldiers feel dissatisfied, they must make corrections. If they are still not satisfied after the corrections, the purchase order will be canceled directly..."
Zhao Laosi seemed to understand.
The young man didn't seem to intend for him to understand everything, but continued to look at Zhao Laosi and said: "Now it seems that your answer at that time was that you really wanted a big coat, so the material supply from that company will take effect, causing you Jeju
All the soldiers in the government are wearing military coats, right?"
Zhao Laosi nodded quickly and said with some embarrassment: "I was wearing a big coat and it felt heavy on my body. Although the wind and snow were heavy that day, my whole body felt warm. Plus the old man smiled kindly,

In order to ensure the supply of cotton clothes, he directly dispatched the big family elders and squatted on the ground in person to follow
You have such a good army, and if you can do it to such an extent, Cui Shi of Qinghe can hardly be considered sincere."
