A large group of naked old men were playing and playing in the bathhouse, and the steaming heat wafted out through the windows. In North Korea, there was no chance to take a hot bath. North Korea did not have such a large amount of hot water.

pond!

The bathhouse was built just below the hot spring pool, and the hot hot spring water flowed into the large pool along the pipe. Hundreds of gentlemen were soaking in the pool, and all kinds of obscene topics were covered.

Li Xiao had to kick Xiaobai out. In just a short period of time, he learned several curse words. It is impossible to learn from these bastards!

It was so damn comfortable to soak comfortably in the pool. The skin all over my body felt itchy. After soaking thoroughly, everyone was able to remove almost a pound of mud.

You can't soak anymore. The water in the pool needs to be changed, otherwise it will become muddy soup.

Li Xiao remembered the days when he was in the recruit company. It was the first time the recruit company took a bath. It was also the first time he saw a female soldier outside the bathhouse. Well...! To be precise, it was the first time he saw a female soldier. Li Xiao's eyes were filled with tears.

It's not enough to look at. The female soldier has just taken a shower, her face is rosy and pink. She is seventeen or eighteen years old, and the temptation of uniform is absolutely fatal.

As a result of peeping, he was slapped by the squad leader and yelled: "That's your old squad leader!"

Because of this peeping, Li Xiao was laughed at for a long time.

Just like now, more than two hundred naked young men are crowded into a huge pool. I don't know how many people have washed the water, and it is almost turning into mud. There are three or four people crowded under a lotus, so you have to be careful.

Broken tiles underfoot. A comrade accidentally cut his foot on a broken tile. He became the first wounded soldier in their batch of recruits!

At that time, I was quite envious of that boy. After all, he didn't need to train or goose-step when his foot was injured. When he was running five kilometers, he could also rest openly in the house.

Whenever he was exhausted from work, Li Xiao felt that it was not him who pricked his feet for Mao.

The scene in front of him was reproduced exactly as it was before, except that the gentlemen here were naked. Everyone had long hair, and when he looked at his back, Li Xiao felt like he was looking at a woman.

This is not the first time that the idea of ​​​​shaving one's head has come up, but Li Xiao really doesn't dare to do so. These days, the emphasis is on the hair and skin of the body being influenced by the parents. No one except monks shaves their heads. Regardless of men and women, as long as there is nothing wrong with them, they will have long hair.

.

Li Xiao touched the long hair on his head and felt awkward.

With a quick thought, the plan comes to mind!

It was time to go out. Xiaoyu rushed to Li Hao and ran in eight times.

Sitting on the chair, let Xiaoyu comb her hair. The little girl's green hands passed through the thick hair. Then she used a wooden comb to comb it meticulously!

Without combing it twice, the wooden comb was thrown to Li Hao. He stayed in Li Xiao's arms and let his elder brother tell him a story.

"Brother will attend the celebration party later, let me tell you tonight." Any strong heart will be defeated by the little doll. Li Xiao reluctantly asked for leave from his sister, and he had to attend the celebration party later.

.

"No! Brother, tell a story! Tell a story!" Xiao Yuni was acting coquettishly in Li Xiao's arms.

"In the evening, I'll tell Xiaoyu tonight. Big brother will be attending the celebration banquet later!"

"You drank too much at night and slept like a dead pig."

"No, no! Come back and tell Xiaoyu two stories. Let's tell the story of Agarwood chopping mountains to save her mother, okay?"

"I still want to hear Sun Monkey beat the Bull Demon King!"

"Okay, okay! Let's talk about Sun Monkey beating the Bull Demon King."

After taking care of his sister, Li Hao also combed his hair. The brothers went to the big restaurant together!

The food on Phi Island is considered to be the best in recent years. There are 16 dishes for eight people at a table. More than 200 tables are lined up, and there are various things on the table. It is close to the island. If you can't eat

The seafood is outrageous. Every table has a two-foot-long giant mackerel and huge pork knuckles. This time I brought back a lot of frozen hard pork from North Korea, and Li Xiao prepared to give it to them for this dinner.

Eliminated.

The fat but not greasy pig head meat mixed with cucumbers, the fat and thin braised pork are appetizing. The boneless braised chicken is crispy and sweet. The most rare thing is that there are vegetables on the island, and the couple can only eat dried vegetables in winter.

, or for northerners who eat radish and cabbage, this is simply great news.

Because Pidao produces glass, greenhouse vegetables have become very popular. Even the Emperor himself in these days may not be able to afford more than 200 tables of juicy pickles.

The wine is sorghum wine produced in Pidao, nicknamed "Shao Knife". After drinking it, it feels like a red-hot knife being stabbed into the throat. Once you take a sip, you will never forget it in your life.

.

When I saw Li Xiao walking in with several of his brothers, there were hundreds of people in the huge restaurant who could not even hear a cough or sneer.

"Stand up!" Ao Canghai shouted, and everyone including Man Gui stood up.

"Sit down!" Li Xiao walked to the stage and pressed down with his hands. Everyone sat down!

"I don't want to say too much. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. We have also saved a lot of military pay. At the end of the year, we have worked hard for a year. I discussed it with Master Ao and gave each person a reward of ten taels of silver. This is

For those who went to Korea for the first time to fight, an additional five taels will be added.

It’s the New Year, and I know everyone wants to go home. But the island cannot be unguarded! This year, 30% of the people can go home, and the other half will stay on the island. There will be a boat to take everyone back to their hometowns, but remember

Okay. There are only twenty days of vacation. After you come back, the other 30% of the people can go home. And so on! Everyone takes turns to go home!

As for who goes home first and who goes home last. The company commanders of each company go back to organize and everyone draws lots. Whether to go home first or last depends on luck. If there is any injustice, you can come to me, Li Xiao, and I will give it to everyone.

Do justice.

Today is our celebration banquet, and we’ll all get drunk before we get off. But don’t delay the morning exercises tomorrow, and the money will be paid out tomorrow morning. Anyone who can’t do the exercises tomorrow morning and delays getting the money will be responsible for the consequences!”

"Buzz!" The crowd immediately exploded. There was no expense at all on Pi Dao. A month's military pay could basically be saved! Unexpectedly, there would be reward money at the end of the year, which added up to seventy or eighty taels of silver.

If you farm in your hometown and have an income of ten taels of silver a year, that is a well-off life! Everyone is excited, and many people want to get a good lot. They want to go home early to show off, and some plan to spend more time at home.

Buy some land. Some even want to go home and marry a wife. Everyone has their own plans, and they have a heated exchange below.

Today is a dinner party, and Ao Canghai no longer talks about discipline. Everyone is thinking about paying money, and they are drinking in moderation. No one wants to be unable to do morning exercises tomorrow!

Man Gui and Li Xiao were next to each other. When he saw Li Xiao sitting over, he suddenly said: "Master! Brothers, I have a request. I don't know what you mean."

"Oh! What do you want to say?" Li Xiao knew that the brothers Man Gui was talking about were the Mongolians under his command.

"Brothers want to take over all the family members. You know the place in Xuanfu is poor. Brothers don't want their families to live such a hard life!"

"That's fine, but you said our island is only so big. You definitely won't be able to herd sheep!"

"Herding sheep? Who wants to come here to herd sheep? It's better to just go into the factory and do something than to farm in my hometown. The life in Xuanfu is really too hard."

"Oh, please let me think about it." Li Xiao said thoughtfully.

Mangui looked at Li Xiao with hope!

Ao Canghai looked indifferent, since it didn't involve him anyway. This guy had already cultivated to the point where one person had enough to eat and the whole family wasn't hungry.

"Brother Man, to tell you the truth, our island is so big, and the workers in various factories are all recruited craftsmen. They are all skilled in craftsmanship, and it is not suitable to be placed here."

Man Gui's expression changed, she didn't expect Li Xiao to be so disrespectful.

"Also! Even if I agree, you already know how many people can live on the island. Your brothers can only bring their immediate family members. The remaining brothers, sisters, or other relatives still have to stay.

My hometown has suffered a lot! The palms and backs of my hands are full of flesh, and the bones and tendons are broken. Who do you think is appropriate to take with you and who not to take with you?"

"Uh...! That's true! Then what kind of regulations do you have!"

"What charter? Master Man, do you still remember Changxing Island where we met Yuan Chonghuan?"

"Remember! What's wrong?"

"Changxing Island is big enough. I'm thinking of stationing some people on it. Just in time to tell you about this, why not move all your people to Changxing Island. Firstly, it's a great place for cavalry training. Secondly,

You also help me look at those people in Lushun. Mr. Wu said that some of those people in Lushun are in cahoots with the Tatars.

The most important thing is that Changxing Island is so big. Even if you bring a hundred brothers, you can live there alone!

I will take care of all the food for the first year, and I will send people to build a house in the spring. There are enough cement pipes for you. You can herd sheep on the island and fish. There is fresh water on the island, and you can farm if you like.

What do you think?"

Li Xiao has long thought about developing Changxing Island, but unfortunately there are not so many people. Changxing Island is 30 kilometers long from east to west, 11 kilometers wide from north to south, and has a coastline of nearly 100 kilometers around the island. For such a large island, if Li Xiao did not seize it, he would have

It won't be long before the Tatars take over.

Even if Man Gui's brothers brought 20,000 people to such a big island, they would definitely be able to accommodate it.

"Seriously!" Man Gui's eyes lit up. To be honest, all the work in the factory is manual work. Even if you don't know anything, you can't do it!

"Of course I take it seriously. I, Li Xiao, never missed what I said. But we agreed that I, Li Xiao, will cover all the food expenses in the first year, and halve it in the second year. And then halve it in the third year. From the fourth year on, I won't care.

Already."
