Chapter 337 The most industrious people

The domain name of the parent site: "166 Novel" is homophonic with 166xs, which is easy to remember! The good novel of 166xs is highly recommended: Sun An said happily: "I never thought that sweet potatoes have such high yields. Last autumn, many people cried in the field. Pinshu.com sliced ​​and dried and preserved for half a year. The dozens of pig farms directly under the village used sweet potato flour, a small amount of bean cakes, sweet potato seedling flour, and carrots to raise pigs, which achieved great success. It can be said without hesitation that more than 30,000 people have no problem with a pound of meat every day."

Wu Song patted Sun An on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work. It's not easy for horses to control the army, dismounting the horses to control the people."

Sun An sighed: "It's not easy. Just thinking about letting 30,000 people work hard. If it weren't for the strong support of my brother, I wouldn't be able to hold on. At the beginning, I went to the farm to watch every day, and Zhou Tong and Cao Zheng led the team to work in the farm, which made it today's scale. In the past few days, Lin Chong wrote from Erlong Mountain that the barren mountains near Erlong Mountain are being developed into a chestnut garden, and that will be Huaguo Mountain nearby in the future."

Taohua Mountain and Erlong Mountain have a total of more than 30,000 people and horses. Except for more than 10,000 women and children, the others are all strong men. There are 3,000 elite soldiers, 1,000 cavalry and 2,000 infantry. The second-class soldiers are 18,000. Whether they are farming or raising pigs, they must take turns to participate in training, equipped with spears, sabers, etc. to use simple and lethal weapons.

Wu Song, Sun An, Zhou Tong, and Cao had two drinks in the conference hall. The chatting from all over the world was over, and the banquet was already dark.

Wu Song said: "Sun An, go and do your business. I'll walk around to see the farmland water conservancy and breeding farm."

Sun An said: "Okay brother, I'll urge the leaders of each mountain pass to check the sentry."

Wu Song, Jiao Ting, Anthony and several followers rode horses from the road behind the mountain to the mountain. The road was very wide, and the rammed earth road was paved with a layer of coarse sand, and the horse's hooves rustled.

Every five hundred meters into the valley, there is an outpost, a wooden high-rise building, with four to five minions. Of course, these ordinary minions don’t know who Wu Song is, but they know that this is the boss’s boss, and they are respectful and dare not have any code.

Wu Song asked: "What are you mainly defending against when you are on duty in this valley?"

The young man seemed to be less than eighteen, and he was a little nervous holding the hunting fork in his hand. Wu Song said, "It's okay, just say it slowly, don't worry."

"The night patrols and guards against Qingzhou soldiers' sneak attacks, and wild animals destroy crops," said the young man.

Wu Song said: "Then have you ever encountered wild animals destroying crops?"

"A lot, but last year there were a lot less. Mainly wild boars, badgers, and rabbits. Wild boars are the most powerful. I don't know where they came from and often ate up a large area of ​​seedlings. I also forked a wild boar a few days ago."

Wu Song patted the young man on the shoulder and said, "Term on duty seriously."

The group continued to move forward. It was a slight drought in early summer. It was the time when water was needed. There were tall water trucks rotating and carrying water, constantly irrigating the fields. However, the small river ditches were no longer available. Water trucks could not be used, so they could only use human water trucks. Many second-class soldiers were wearing number clothes and torches and stepped on the water trucks there.

It is common to water the ground until midnight, and nothing is surprising. Anthony said: "Sir, why can these people work hard without supervisors?"

Wu Song said: "You asked for the idea because they are masters, not slaves."

Walking further forward, I suddenly saw the torches lit in the dirt slope in front. Wu Song looked good and saw dozens of people holding pickaxes to open up the land.

"It's all nonsense, it's all right now. What's the effect of land reclamation at this time? Let's take a look." Wu Song brought the people over.

There are almost dozens of farmers. Wu Song found a family near the edge. This is a man of four in his thirties and has a vicissitudes of life. His wife is in her thirties and looks very old, far from being as plump as a woman of the same age.

The two children, the son is sixteen or seventeen years old, and the daughter is only twelve or three years old. The couple is the main force, the son is the helper, and the daughter is responsible for the torch and encourages her. Seeing that the person is coming, the man stopped working.

Wu Song said: "Why are you still working so late? Go back and rest as soon as possible."

The man looked at it and said, "It's getting late. Damn, you take the girl back to rest. My son and I will have another chance."

Wu Song said: "This brother, the future is long, why are you working so hard?"

"Oh, it's a long story. We fled. Last year, the locust plague was caused, and the grains were not harvested. In previous years, the surplus grains were barely enough to survive. There are still some seeds left in the spring of this year. I'm ready to plant them. There is also hope in autumn. Who knows that the county tax officials are coming, and they still have to collect taxes. If they don't demolish the house, they will be harvested, and they will be harvested. They are all blamed. I couldn't help but beat the tax officials to death with one stick. I had no choice but to run to the mountain."

Wu Song said: "Taohua Mountain won't give you food, you won't be able to work so hard. You can't even use it to open up the land later."

"This is useless. The three tiled houses are brand new. When we came, Zhou Dangjia said that the collective farm was too large to develop. Four people divided the wasteland of two acres of land, and gave a cow, five hundred grains and corn seeds that we had never seen before. We didn't expect to work so hard, but other neighbors told us that this corn is very powerful and still has a bumper harvest in summer, and a mu of land will produce five or six hundred kilograms. This made us so happy, so we worked overtime to open up the land."

Wu Song said: "I understand what my brother means. The houses and cows that were divided into parcels will be repaid with food one after another, but you don't have to worry, no one will force you."

"This Sun family also said that we will send us chickens, ducks and geese one after another. We work hard to help the parcels with more food to help other farmers. Nowadays, the government is cruel and sucking bones and marrow at the common people. Unexpectedly, the parcels will help the poor instead."

Other farmers have similar situations. Wu Song said: "Everyone should go back. It's not a matter of clearing up the land overnight. It's not convenient to work late now, so come early tomorrow."

After listening to Wu Song's advice, everyone reluctantly left the land.

Anthony said: "The people of the Song Dynasty are the most diligent people I have ever seen, but the government in the Song Dynasty is the most greedy government I have ever seen. The most diligent people feed the most greedy government."

Jiao Ting said: "Jinghu said that my brother is also an official from Dongping Prefecture. When did he become greedy?"

Anthony said with an innocent look on his face, "I mean someone else, I mean someone else."

The second-class soldiers in Taohua Mountain are not out of business and are indeed very hardworking. Whether they are farming or raising, they are filled with unrestrained enthusiasm everywhere.
