The autumn wind blows, and the weather becomes cold without realizing it. The autumn harvest cannot be delayed. The recruited civilians returned home one after another, and it became deserted near the railway station.

Mr. He sat at the entrance of his restaurant, watching the yellow leaves falling from the trees beside him, and said to Manager Lu beside him: "Oh, it's been so lively that it's not too long, so it's deserted. There's no business in the restaurant, what should I do? Even if I don't make money, I have a lot of money in the wine class and life is hard to make."

Manager Lu said: "Don't worry, the official, I heard that the wing army is about to arrive. When they come, the business will naturally get better."

Mr. He just sighed: "I was just greedy for the interest of one or two months and urgently opened the restaurant. It was a mistake. At that time, the population of all directions was concentrated, and our restaurant was doing well. The yamen was ordering wine classes at that time, which was too high."

The wine class is a must-have for a year. Mr. He only saw that there were many people around him at that time, so his business must be good. However, he didn't expect that the amount of wine class that the yamen ordered was naturally high. Now the business is deserted, so he feels it is not cost-effective.

At this moment, the servant in the store came back with a basket and bowed to the two of them, saying, "Prince, supervisor, the young man has just gone there to buy vegetables and saw many people coming. The one who is with his family, I heard that the slim army is coming."

After hearing this, Mr. He was overjoyed, stood up and said to Manager Lu: "Supervisor, let's go over and take a look!"

These fibrous wing soldiers came from Xuzhou, with thousands of people stretching on the road for several miles. The people who opened shops on the north bank of the river were happy and watched together. They arrived at the ferry led by the officers and boarded the ferry to cross the river. They couldn't help but paused: "Oh, why did you cross the river so urgently! For us, it's good to eat a bowl of wine and drink a glass of wine!"

The person on the other side said: "The railway supervisor on the other side has built a house, so they naturally went there to clean up and move in. Why bother? After they settled down, they would inevitably come to us to find food and drink. As long as there are people, are they still afraid that there will be no business?"

This is the time when the Li River rises. The river channel in this area is curved and the water flows smoothly. It is a natural ferry. The north bank of the ferry is a variety of shops built by the people, centered on He Yuanwai’s restaurant and distributed along a highway by the river. The south bank of the ferry is the barracks of the Iron Supervisor, which are not distributed along the river, but are square and stretching southward.

Walking on the stone-paved street, I looked at the houses on both sides. They were all three main houses, with a small courtyard, neatly arranged, like a chessboard. The houses were all made of bricks and tiles, which were very different from the common rammed earth that was in the countryside at this time, and it was comfortable to look at.

The tall and thin Tong An Luxi said, "I didn't expect the camps built here to be so neat. I think they were here for us to live in. I heard that those who come to Tangzhou camps in spring have to build their own houses and build their own roads, but they are not as good as us."

On the other side, Lian's father said lazily: "How do you know that it was built for us? In my opinion, such a neat barracks are for the officers to live in. How could we, the military men, live in such a place!"

Tong Anlu Road: "We have walked more than a mile and are all of these kinds of houses, and we can't see at a glance. How could it be for the officers to live in? There are only a few people above the head of our battalion? Where can they live in so many houses!"

The group of boaters, with sadness and joy, slowly passed the stone road in the middle of the camp and headed south.

After walking for about three miles, we arrived at a huge and empty field. The officers of each battalion ordered their team to stop.

Soon, several officials walked over quickly and found Dai Dujian who was leading the team, and said with his hands: "The judge Yun ordered the generals and officers above the battalion commander to meet at the front yamen. The rest of the people will rest here first and wait for the orders."

Dai Dushu Zheng did not dare to neglect and ordered the commanders of each battalion. Soon after, the commanders of each battalion came to visit.

The group passed through the open ground and passed a camp gate guarded by soldiers. They saw a row of tall and grand houses, which were the newly built yamen. The officials led the way and entered the yamen.

Du Zhongxiao, Su Song, Liu Wei and others sat there, waiting and talking while they were talking. This place was not the Iron Supervisor's Office, but only managed this barracks here. According to the preliminary plan, the barracks in this area must be occupied by about 3,000 people. It is the first iron smelting center, divided into several types of work such as charcoal, iron smelting and steel frying. As the first iron smelting center, it is the seed of the entire Iron Supervisor, and the officials attached great importance to it. Du Zhongxiao personally took charge, and all the officials who could be drawn arrived, striving to win the first battle.

Dai Dujian stepped forward and saluted: "The lower-ranking official Dai Ming, sent by the court, led the six commanders of the wing army to 2,765 people to wait for Yun's orders. Seventy-eight people on the way were left to treat the disease due to discomfort, and agreed to meet them all in two months."

Du Zhongxiao said: "Thank you for your hard work in the capital, please sit down. We will discuss how your people will arrange it."

Dai Dujian thanked him and took the commander to sit down on the stool next to him.

The Fiber-pulling wing army could not be full. It could have more than 2,700 people. Before leaving, it was reorganized and added people to come in, otherwise the number would be even smaller. They were the Fiber-pulling wing army in Zhuhe in the western part of Kaifeng Prefecture. After the meeting with Qi in Xuzhou, Dai Dujian was led by the general manager. These people took their families and walked on the road unfast. In just two or three hundred miles, seventy or eighty people fell behind.

Du Zhongxiao asked Dai Dujian about the situation on the way and said to Dai Dujian: "I have ordered the Iron Supervisor to prepare wine and rice to welcome you. Tonight, the soldiers will have two steamed buns, a piece of meat, two pieces of pickles, and a bowl of wine. Dujian will go with me to see how the prepared meals are."

Dai Dujian crossed his hands: "Everything is based on the orders of luck and orders, and the officials will follow their orders!"

Du Zhongxiao smiled and said, "The Chief Superintendent, when we arrive at this place, we are not fighting, but staying, mining and smelting iron. The soldiers who come here must be divided into many types of jobs and go to the Iron Superintendent to work. This is not as good as marching and fighting. They must be assigned according to their temperament and good at doing things. What is important is not to obey orders, but to be patient and careful. In the past few days, everyone will take a break and learn about the surrounding situation, and we will make arrangements calmly."

Dai Dujian crossed his hands and said that he looked like he was purged in the army.

Du Zhongxiao said: "Before you come, we recruited a lot of officials from nearby prefectures and counties, and in the future we will rely on them to manage the affairs of the Iron Supervisor with you. Later, the chief clerk Liu will join the commanders of each battalion to dispatch officials to your battalion. Generally speaking, each has a post office and a bookkeeper, and two guards in the battalion, and above are the Kongmu officials. These people, together with the original commander and Dutou, manage their subordinates. The Du Supervisor and a group of generals have just arrived and are not familiar with everything, so listen to them more."

Dai Dujian and several commanders crossed their hands together and responded to the promise. Some commanders were already confused. According to Du Zhongxiao's words, the officials of the Iron Supervisor directly assigned to the capital. Wouldn't they seize their military power? In the future, the management of the Iron Supervisor will no longer be the original system.
