When I woke up in the early morning, there was already a vast area outside. I thought the snow was thick, but when I went out, I found it was a thin layer. The snow was still falling, but it was not melting.

The Datong area faced the north wind blowing from the grassland. It was always very cold. The villagers all added clothes and Zhu Da also put on cotton coats. Although the cotton coat was patched with a lot of patches, it was still neat. He remembered that even when he wore cotton coats at this time in the past year, he felt very cold, but now it became much stronger. With sufficient supply of protein and fat and physical exercise, the ability to keep warm naturally increased significantly.

Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun had just entered the Xiang family yard. Before they could start practicing martial arts, Li He ran in later. After yesterday, everyone's relationships were closer. Li He said with a smile: "Zhu Da, my father called you something wrong, and said that if you two didn't have breakfast, they went to eat together."

There is no reason why the general flag summoned him. The two of them followed Li He and when they entered the yard, they met someone's wife in the village who was accompanying Li Chunhua. The arrogant girl had run aside when she saw Zhu Da and looked at him curiously, thinking that the poor boy's family once valued it so much.

The lady was also full of surprise. She didn't expect that Zhu Da was like a formal guest at Li Zongqi's house at a young age. It was Li He who invited her. How great is this? She must talk to her family when she returns.

Zhu Da and the aunt nodded and greeted her, but their thoughts became varied. It is said that women and relatives valued reputations very much these women in the village were very calm when they worked in the Li family. There were very few discussions outside. It seemed that the Li family was doing a decent job and didn't know what else.

There was a snoring sound in the side room, and Li He also turned around and explained: "My cousins ​​came back last afternoon and followed my father to go to the night patrol in the evening, and then they went to bed. Thank you very much."

There were only two people in the main room, Li Zhengqi and Li Ying. Li Ji was haggard and tired, and he looked like he had not slept all night. He had breakfast on the table and did not take it down. When Zhu Da entered the door, Li Ji was talking to his son. When he saw them coming in, he signaled them to sit down. Li Ying smiled and added two bowls to them.

The breakfast was made of mixed grain porridge, pancakes and pickles. Mr. Li’s family was not a good family. It was nothing more than better food and could be eaten in large quantities. Mr. Li Ji’s attitude was intimate and did not treat Zhu Da and others as outsiders, and it was obvious that he wanted to win over friends.

"The bandits can only do it in our garrison, because our villages are all scattered. Why don't they go to the villages in the local area? Because there are many clans and families there, and each clan comes out. What are the more than a dozen bandits doing? But our garrison is one family and can still go into battle more than a hundred years ago, but now they are all small households and cannot gather together. Naturally, the bandits are not afraid."

He just told his son that the reason was told, and Zhu Da and the others did not avoid it and educated them together. Zhou Qingyun was interested in giving another bowl, while Zhu Da listened very carefully.

"The garrison farming is a fixed amount. The family is just a piece of land. Only the eldest son can have. Other brothers cannot afford it. When they grow up, they will be driven out to find food. Some ancestors and parents are reluctant to leave. As a result, one piece of land is not enough for the whole family to eat, so they can only lose. Therefore, our garrison has no big family, but it is just a small household, and they dare not have more children or have more sons. If they have one, they will drown and commit sins! "

He led the young and strong village patrol all night and has not slept yet. He was extremely tired. Mr. Li is in this state, and Zhu Da understood that it was somewhat similar to drunkenness. People were excited, relaxed, confused, and often expressed some feelings that they would not say on weekdays.

Zhu Da benefited a lot from these words just now. There are many children and many blessings in this era, but there are almost no more than three children in Baibao Village. In this situation of barely feeding and favouring, he would be willing to let go of his child. He has never thought too much about this direction. Today, Mr. Li's feelings made Zhu Da suddenly enlightened. So that's the case.

The military farming in the garrison is a fixed number, and the land of each household is also a fixed number. Only one male in the family can be a military officer, and this land will be inherited. If you want to separate the family, it is probably not blocked. As long as the taxes paid remain unchanged, the more people there are, the less land each person has, and the harder it is to eat enough. In order to ensure survival, you must have as few births as possible. Although infanticide is cruel, it is better than being unable to support it when you grow up or the entire family is extremely poor and bankrupt. This experience must be accumulated by countless painful lessons.

But such households have no cohesion. Since they did not use military households to fight, the military households have become pure long-term tenants. They have different places, no blood relationships, and no daily practice. Small households care about themselves, and the superiors only care about collecting money and grain. If they can't organize, they will not take care of everything.

"There is such a big case in Xiama Village. Did the two families not make any noise after entering the thief? They must have cried and heard it. But none of them were in charge. It is said that the people who were slaughtered dare not take care of it. The people who were not slaughtered are counting on others to take care of it. Zhu Da, you will definitely have a future in the future. Your proposal to share money and grain has allowed our hundred households to join us... I went to Huairen to find out that the dog barking in the middle of the night has encountered more than a dozen or so households. These thieves are thinking about where to start. Our village is lucky!"

Listening to Mr. Li's sigh, Zhu Da could imagine the scene of the neighboring village that night. Everyone felt that it was nothing to do with him, and they all felt that as long as they shrank, they would be fine. But if they didn't care this time, they would fall on their own next time.

"Master General Banner, I have no credit. If you hadn't knocked the gong that night, the bandits might have rushed in. If Brother Li hadn't beat the gong the gong the gong the night before, the risk would have been great in our village." Zhu Da said very seriously.

No matter what, the Li family and son are responsible and at least have the intention of being a public official, otherwise many things would not be done now.

As soon as he said this, General Li and Li Ying were both happy. Everyone was willing to listen to praise, and not to mention that this was not flattery. General Li Ji smiled and said, "Zhu Da, I also see you growing up. We are all a family. Don't meet in the future. Just call me Uncle Li. As for Li Ying and Li He, it's good to call you brother, but don't think you can be brothers. As for Xiao Da, if you have any questions, he understands more than you."

"Brother Li, Qingyun is my brother."

"Yes, Qingyun, just call me Uncle Li, and you can have more contact with Li Ying and Li in the future."

Zhou Qingyun couldn't tell the difference between these words, but just agreed while drinking porridge and eating pancakes.

Mr. Li yawned over there and shook his head and said, "You guys eat first, if you don't have enough, Xiaoda, I patroled with people last night, and the number 20 people came out. The spear that was reused is useless, but the farmland is not easy to use, and it's useless to get the thieves in. I'll think of a way."

This is the purpose of calling himself to come. Zhu Da smiled bitterly in his heart. It was not because of this problem, but because he felt that Baibao Village was so dilapidated. Mr. Li had no choice but to ask for advice. He could only find himself. After all, he was right to look for him. The rest of the village would indeed not have any good ideas.

But Zhu Da also knew that Mr. Li was just trying to try his luck, but he was really lucky.

"The flag is big... Uncle Li, the spear at my nephew's house is also so ragged that it cannot be used, but the tip of the iron spear is rusted and cannot be used. It is better to make a wooden pole and sharpen the pole head to poke people." Zhu Da had an idea.

In this era, many knowledge and skills were monopolized by certain classes and families, but in those twenty years, there were so many related information on books, magazines, and the Internet. As long as you want to understand, you will find it. No matter what the problem is, you can follow it and say a few words. Zhu Da naturally also has corresponding knowledge reserves.

Hearing this answer, Mr. Li was a little disappointed on his face and shook his head and said, "It is not very useful to sharpen it. If it is thicker, it will be blocked. It will be cut off by a knife. I will think of a way. It turns out that the garrison office still has some old swords and guns that can be given, but now if you want it, you have to buy it yourself."

Everyone was focused, but when they heard this answer, they felt that it was very ordinary. They thought it was no different from holding a wooden stick, and they could think of this idea themselves.

Zhu Da added there with a smile: "Brother Li, the sharpened sticks can be baked on fire, which will become harder. My nephew also heard that it is more useful to soak the tip of the tip in the feces and then bake it."

When talking about dirty things at breakfast, everyone looked disgusted on their faces, but Mr. Li was stunned and stayed there. The wooden sticks were sharpened and baked. If they were stabbed and scratched after being contaminated with feces, the wound would be ragged and affected the whole body, and the damage was quite large. This method was simple, but I never thought of it, but anyone could figure it out.

“This method is really useful…”

"Uncle Li, everyone must get together. The bandits are not afraid of a long pole. If dozens of people gather together, the bandits will not do anything." Zhu Da added.

This principle is also simple. Everyone can figure it out. The more you think about it, the more you think it is easier to use. Mr. Li thought about it, stood up directly from the seat, stared at Zhu Da and said, "Old Xiang actually knows this, but he actually teaches you this. He is really brave."

Zhu Da scratched his head, laughed and did not refute. Xiang Bojun came from the army, and some things in military tactics would naturally be associated with him. Of course, people of this era could not imagine that the military tactics and strategies they thought were important were seen everywhere in that era, and there were various professional and unprofessional analyses, so that everyone who wanted to know could understand them enough.

"Is it okay? I have to practice before I know, Xiaoda, that Qingyun, you two will have dinner at home at noon. Ah Da, let your mother prepare some good dishes."

The room was quiet again. The Li brothers looked at Zhu Da in amazement, thinking to himself why their father valued Zhu Da so much, what happened, and what was worth paying attention to?
