Liu Tianling asked again: "Principal Kong, what class do you teach?"

"Hehe, I'm old, and there are many literate people in our Kongjia Village. I teach Chinese, and in my spare time, I teach children to write calligraphy and so on. Although pencils are promoted now, I still feel that calligraphy nice,"

"Hehe, yes, the writing brush is good, but it is difficult to learn. Six or seven-year-old children go to school, and it takes several years to practice writing with a brush, so pencils and pens must be popularized. Come on, Principal Kong, take us to the classroom. "Liu Tianling said.

Kong Yiji led the way and brought Liu Tianling and others to the third-grade classroom. The classroom is not big, about 20 square meters, and there are even fewer students, only about ten. A female teacher is teaching a class. It seems to be mathematics. On the blackboard It's full of words.

The students and teachers stopped, and Liu Tianling said: "It's okay, we just came in to see if the classroom will be cold in winter, you all continue to study." The adobe said: "There is a fireplace under here. You can't see the flame from the classroom, but it's hot to the touch. Of course, because of the thick mud wall, it's not too hot, but it works. At least the room is not so cold. "

In fact, this thing is the earth kang in the northeast. When the fire is on the bottom, the top will be hot, and the heating effect is really good.

Duan Xuewen couldn't help nodding: "It's a good way, burn it outside, there will be no smoke in the house, and the students can go to school better,"

Liu Tianling touched it with his hands, and the temperature was okay: "If this is a fire in cold weather, this adobe will definitely be very hot. It must be covered with a wooden frame and a rope net to cover it."

Kong Yiji laughed and said, "I've thought of this a long time ago. I've already told the carpenter in the village, and he promised to do it. It's just a matter of a few days."

Liu Tianling carefully looked at the students in the class, most of them were well dressed, only one child had tattered clothes and his hands were red and swollen from cold.

After leaving the third-grade classroom, Duan Xuewen asked, "Principal Kong, what's the situation with that child without cotton padded clothes?"

"You go to other classes to have a look." Kong Yiji was really diligent, and took Liu Tianling to several other classes.

Like other schools, this school has a severely unbalanced structure. There are no students in the fourth and fifth grades, about ten students in the third grade, and more than 30 students in the second year. However, there are more than 200 students in the primary school a year, and they are divided into four large classes. At present, primary schools have been established, and education is compulsory, so most of the students enrolled are in the first grade.

Back in the office, Kong Yiji poured two glasses of water for Liu Tianling and Duan Xuewen: "The overall situation of the school is good. There are 26 students who don't have cotton coats in winter. The family conditions are different. Some of them are orphans and live with their uncles." Well, they are currently the objects of care. Except for a unified meal at noon, the school is responsible for breakfast and dinner, and their clothes problem has been settled soon. I went to the rich households in the village to find them. It will also give me some face, "

"Hehe, Principal Kong works really hard," Liu Tianling said with a smile.

Kong Yiji said sternly: "It's not just me, many teachers work very hard. Originally, we scholars were not valued. After the government paid attention to education, many people discovered that we, the powerless people, are still useful. , reading a lot is still useful, we are not waste, "

"Scholars have never been useless, and now scholars can also exercise. Principal Kong doesn't need to beg for alms. Let's take care of the clothing. Let's work with peace of mind. Let's go," Liu Tianling and Duan Xuewen stood up and said goodbye.

Principal Kong hurriedly asked him to stay after dinner, Liu Tianling and Duan Xuewen did not delay any longer, and then visited several construction sites and several elementary schools.

The overall situation is good. Most of the students have cotton-padded clothes. Only some orphans or students with special circumstances do not have cotton-padded clothes.

"Old Duan, let's arrange people to count. Everyone's height and weight are measured to make clothes. We can only send people who don't have cotton clothes, so we need to report truthfully,"

Duan Xuewen smiled and said: "Since the head of the group can think of a way, he is preparing more. There are not too many. There are only a few thousand people who are lonely and widowed, and no more than five thousand. Their cotton-padded clothes are not measured. They are made bigger. A military overcoat would be the best, it can be used as clothes during the day and a quilt at night.”

Liu Tianling shook his head helplessly: "Okay, you report the number, I will arrange the production together, and the people who can't eat will also be given relief, we can't just watch them dig grass roots to eat."

Duan Xuewen quickly said: "This is impossible. The army rations cannot be moved anyway. If the soldiers have no food to eat, how can we fight? We are now 3 small, and the food subsidized by the students cannot be moved, and the food of the people cannot be collected again. Food can be subsidized, "

"Since it is a subsidy, it is naturally given to the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled. This group will not be too large. The size of 2 to [-] people, I was also powerless at first, but there is good news these days. Do you remember the fat guy from Fat Food?"

Duan Xuewen thought for a while: "Remember, it's called Zou Qiaolai,"

"It's him, who recently formed a fishing fleet in Rizhao, with 20 fishing boats, went out to sea to fish, and used the ice made by the ice machine to freeze them. He caught more than [-] catties of Spanish mackerel the first time he came back. Good harvest, if you sell these fish, you can get some food from the big family’s house.”

Duan Xuewen was also inexplicably happy: "Haha, it's really great. If you call so much at one time, how many more calls will solve the problem of eating for many people?"

"The old duan's idea is too beautiful. Our fishing equipment is still very backward. Even if the fishing equipment is updated in the future, the fish in deep-sea fishing is still limited. It is impossible to fish unlimitedly at will. It can only be a subsidy, not as a reliance,"

"I understand this. It will be fine next year. We have built at least tens of thousands of reservoirs in the second half of this year. Although they are used to fight floods and droughts, they can always raise some fish. In addition, after the construction of water conservancy projects, food Production will definitely increase," he said.

The driver drove to Sang Village and sent the old section back to the administrative center of Sang Village. When passing by the Yanma Reservoir, the project was almost completed and will be completed next year. Tens of thousands of acres of land downstream will benefit.

Looking at the steep and bare mountains on both sides of the reservoir, Duan Xuewen said: "Commander, don't you have more than 200 planes flying around in the sky all day long?"

"That's not flying around, that's called training," Liu Tianling was sweating.

"Yes, training, no matter what it is, it's flying, and it consumes the same fuel. It's better to arrange them to scatter tree seeds down in the air,"

"How many tree seeds have you got? You can use an airplane to scatter them,"

Duan Xuewen said unhappily: "The head of the group underestimated me. I just moved my fingers and collected tens of thousands of catties of tree seeds."

"Haha, the old duan is also bragging. I guess you bought the seeds through the local product station at most. What kind of seeds are they?"

"There are many, dozens of species, among which pine seeds, Chinese pagoda tree seeds, and saponins are the most. Most of the seeds are reserved for sowing, but it is difficult for people on this high mountain to plant them,"

"I'll try this, but it's too cold, I'm afraid the delta-wing plane can't fly, flying so high, it can freeze people to death,"

Duan Xuewen suddenly realized that even convertible off-road vehicles have been covered in winter, not to mention the planes in the sky.

After sending Lao Duan back, Liu Tianling also went back to the Longyashan military base. After looking at the training of the recruits, Hu Sihai and the others performed very well. The performance is good, but you need to practice hard, only in this way can you become an elite soldier.

In the office, Jia Cai was busy arranging the materials. Seeing Liu Tianling coming, he said, "Leader, I want to discuss something with you."

"What is it?" Liu Tianling asked.

"I discussed it with everyone, and now we are in conflict with Zhang Zongchang, and we fought fiercely with Zhang Zuolin's people, and even defeated Tang Erhu, and the two of them are at loggerheads. The relationship is not bad, but it is also limited to the cooperation of voice, and the relationship between Nanmian and Nanjing is not very good, so we urgently need an ally right now,"

"You mean Feng Yuxiang, if you have any ideas, just say it directly,"

"The weather is turning cold now, and Feng Yuxiang's men don't have winter coats yet. Their shoes are all entrusted to the village and arranged for women to make them by hand. There is no way to compare with our combat boots,"

Liu Tianling stretched out his hand: "Stop, stop, the old Duan just asked me to distribute tens of thousands of cotton padded clothes to students and poor people. This is what should be done, but Feng Yuxiang has no direct affiliation with us. Do you want to use favors to strengthen your allies? possible,"

"No, head, let me finish first. We investigated Feng Yuxiang's troops. At present, there are at least 10 of them. After Feng Yuxiang listened to your words, he stopped running around, occupied Henan steadily, and recruited another 40 recruits. Although their equipment is outdated, Feng Yuxiang has great influence and has a lot of talents under his command, so their military strength is still very strong. It is strong enough to give Zhang Zuolin a headache with [-] mercenaries. His combat power is evident. If we can keep up with them Isn’t it very helpful to have a good relationship? Of course, it’s not enough to just send things, so they think we are fat sheep. When delivering things, they can send armored vehicles to escort them and show off their force. strength,"

"Okay, I'll arrange it. We'll send them over in a few days. We can only send them [-] pieces, not one more."

There are almost [-] skilled female workers in the army's garment factory, all of whom use electric sewing machines. The daily production volume is not small. At the same time, the Red Police base barracks also has a production line for quilts. The production speed is very fast. If only Army coats, a set of [-] sets, the task will be completed in a few days,
