Lord Li sent more than a hundred people again, and Chu Yunning looked at the registration list, all of them were born from poor families.

"What did you do before joining the barracks, and how many people in your family would you be good at?"

Chu Yunning personally wrote and asked the people on the list one by one to screen for unnecessary trouble.

"Chushang Palace, we are all crop men, facing the loess with our backs to the sky, we are left with brute force work, not afraid of hardship or tiredness. ”

They were able to enter the barracks, almost because the family was so poor that they couldn't open the pot, and the harvest was not good, so as soon as they heard that the imperial court was recruiting troops, and they also gave silver, and they could also receive monthly examples every month, and if they unfortunately died in battle, they could also leave a large pension for the family, so they did not hesitate to come.

Chu Yunning simply took a few questions about farming, and a few people came as soon as they opened their mouths, and opened the calluses in their hands.

There are even people who directly pick up a large stone on their shoulders to show brute force.

"Chu Shanggong rest assured, we don't have so many moths, what you say is what, we just hope to win the battle and go back to see Lao Tzu Niang as soon as possible." ”

"That's it, I'm still waiting to go back and marry my daughter-in-law. ”

Chu Yunning hooked his lips and smiled when he heard this: "You remember, there is no shame in farming, relying on one hand to make a living is not stealing or robbing, and it is not ashamed, from now on each of you is responsible for guarding a greenhouse, I will check it regularly, if it is taken care of well, I will reward it, and when the war is over, the court will need each of you." ”

One of them said with some emotion: "Chu Shanggong means that we will go to the capital to farm in the future?"

Remember the URL

They thought that when the war was over, they would not be needed here, but they did not expect that there would be other arrangements.

"How can it be, so many mouths waiting to eat, as long as you want, you can stay here all the time, or go to the capital to develop. ”

Chu Yunning also plans to lead the people around him out of poverty, this is not an overnight thing.

Someone seemed to see the future and became even more excited: "Chu Shanggong rest assured, we will do a good job and never make trouble." ”

"Cheng, I have a word first, if someone cheats and cheats, don't blame me for being rude!"

After setting the rules, these people didn't dare to underestimate Chu Yunning, and nodded with a serious face.

So Chu Yunning arranged tasks for these 100 people, divided them into three shifts to continue to expand the greenhouse, and then sent people to buy straw from the surrounding farmers.

The movement here could not be concealed from Emperor Mingwen, because Vice General Wen stationed at the border pass couldn't get used to women yelling in front of men, and even more so, several of the hundred people who were driven away were his former subordinates, and Chu Yunning's move caused him to have nowhere to put his face.

The more Vice General Wen thought about it, the more angry he became, and when he was reporting the military situation, he casually told him about it.

"Your Majesty, Chu Shang Palace is in the army, how many jokes have been made, the last general thinks that Chu Shang Palace should not be given such a big right. ”

Emperor Mingwen raised his eyebrows and was silent.

Immediately afterwards, Vice General Wen said: "Since ancient times, women have stayed at home to teach their husbands and children, and what men say is what they say, how can there be a few deviant people like Chu Shanggong, the soldiers at the southern end are controlled by a lady and spread out, where do we put our faces." ”

Once the conversation box was opened, Vice General Wen became more and more energetic: "Your Majesty, our military camp is full of flesh and blood men, but Chu Shanggong took people to farm the land, and beat so many people in public, and he was not afraid of chilling the hearts of the soldiers. ”

After chattering for almost half an hour, Emperor Mingwen was patient, handed the tea to his lips and took a sip, but Gonggong Mo on the side looked at Vice General Wen with a sympathetic look.

Finally, Vice General Wen was almost running out of foam, so he looked up at Emperor Mingwen: "Your Majesty, the last general is finished." ”

Emperor Mingwen put down the teacup, the expression on his face was unpredictable, and he only asked lightly: "I don't know when this war will end, and farming is also my idea, why does Vice General Wen think farming?"

Vice General Wen was stunned.

"What is there to be ashamed of farming, the three armies eat and drink Lazar every day is a lot of money, if the war drags on for too long and there is no food and grass, what should we do?"

"Your Majesty, the last general is terrified. Vice Wen knelt on the ground with his legs limp.

Emperor Mingwen said in a deep voice: "Although the imperial court can send people to send grain and grass, the road is far away, who can guarantee that there will be no delay and no accidents along the way, if you can be self-sufficient, and no longer collect the life-saving food of the people, what's wrong?"

"This ......" Vice General Wen couldn't raise his head for questioning, and he lowered his head tightly, sweating like rain on his forehead.

Emperor Mingwen got up slowly, walked around the table to Emperor Mingwen, and asked, "I heard that today's troublemakers are Vice General Wen's subordinates, and Vice General Wen is fighting for his subordinates?"

"The last general will not dare. Vice General Wen kowtowed to Emperor Mingwen.

"Everything in Chushang Palace is done according to my orders, there is nothing wrong with it, is Vice General Wen questioning me?"

Vice General Wen was frightened, knelt on the ground and shook his head: "The last general doesn't dare, ask the emperor for forgiveness." ”

Looking at Vice General Wen's unconvinced look, Emperor Ming Wen said in a deep voice: "How about women, if there are no women, where is the man, Vice General Wen, you underestimate Chu Shang Palace too much, Gonggong Mo." ”

"The minions are here. "Grandpa Mo stepped forward.

"Spread my will, let Vice General Wen go to plant half a moon land, and everything is under the command of Chu Shang Palace. ”

Vice General Wen raised his head in astonishment: "Your Majesty, the last general will not go!"

"Does the adjutant general want to resist the order, this is a big crime to kill the head. Father-in-law Mo said that Vice General Wen, who was blocked by a word, closed his mouth tightly, and couldn't say anything, so he could only take orders.

The person was personally led by Gonggong Mo and sent to Chu Yunning, after a brief explanation of the intention, Chu Yunning frowned, and secretly sighed that Emperor Ming Wen would make trouble for himself one day, this thorn is not easy to manage, and the whole person almost didn't write the word disobedience on his face with his neck straight.

"Chushang Palace, the emperor said, you will be a vice general Wen and an ordinary person in the past half a month, you don't have to be restrained, the emperor will support you in everything. ”

Having said that, Chu Yunning didn't have the heart to train Vice General Wen, but now that the holy decree had been issued, Chu Yunning had no choice but to nod stubbornly.

After Gonggong Mo left, Chu Yunning glanced at Vice General Wen who was pulling his face, and did what he should do when he turned around without saying a word.

Chu Yunning approached the shed, bent down to lift the straw, reached out and touched the wetness of the soil, and found that the soil was a little dry and hard: "Bixiu, the temperature here is not enough, so someone should add a few more stoves." ”

Bixiu immediately took out a notebook and wrote it down.

"Blind toss, how can you grow green vegetables in winter. Vice Admiral Wen snorted.

Bixiu looked at Vice General Wen with a black face like Guan Gong, and said angrily: "That's because you have a short knowledge, just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean that you haven't!"

"You!" Vice Wen was bumped into by a little maid, and his face darkened: "What an unruly maid." ”

Bixiu hummed and didn't continue to quarrel with Vice General Wen, but directly ignored the people and continued to follow behind Chu Yunning.

"Chu Shang Palace, I watered it twice this morning, but I wasn't lazy. As soon as the guard in charge of the greenhouse heard that Chu Yunning was coming, he hurriedly came to explain.

Chu Yunning smiled slightly, "I know, it's about to end the year, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and the moisture is still enough, so it's good." ”

After receiving the praise, the guard breathed a sigh of relief and scratched his head shyly: "I thought farming was the same as in my hometown before, but I didn't expect there to be so much knowledge." ”

"Hmph, people are reluctant to use such a good charcoal fire, but it is burning in vain here, a waste!" Vice General Wen hummed.

Chu Yunning looked at Vice General Wen with broken mouths wherever he went, and glared at him angrily: "The emperor said, you are under my control for half a month, and I will punish you to go out and stand guard if you are long-winded!"

"You!" Vice General Wen glared angrily, raised his hand and put it down fiercely, looking aggrieved, seeing this, Chu Yunning withdrew his eyes and continued to survey the next greenhouse.

Lifting the curtain, a stream of heating came to the face, and the guard guarding the greenhouse immediately stepped forward: "Chushang Palace, the ginger here will be harvested in two days." ”

The lush green leaves directly looked at Vice General Wen stupidly, he couldn't believe his eyes, and rubbed vigorously: "This is Jiang?"

He was a rough old man who had only seen sun-dried ginger, this was the first time he had seen fresh ginger, he was used to seeing a white expanse, and when he saw so much green, Vice General Wen swallowed his throat, bent down and reached out to pull out one, and the end was a palm-sized ginger.

Bixiu pouted, "Vice General Wen, now you know that you can grow fresh vegetables in winter." ”

These words seemed to be a slap in the face of Vice General Wen, and Vice General Wen's face turned red and muttered a few words, but he didn't even say a word to refute it, but Bixiu felt very relieved.

Chu Yunning shook his head helplessly and smiled, carefully observed the growth of these gingers, and said a few words: "After harvesting, it must be dried with charcoal fire, there can be no moisture, it is convenient to store and not easy to spoil." ”

"Yes. ”

The third shed planted a lot of spinach and coriander, green and pleasing to look at, Vice General Wen on the side was already speechless in shock, looking at Chu Yunning as if he was looking at a monster.

"What kind of expression is Vice General Wen?" Chu Yunning frowned, she didn't like to be stared at so directly.

Vice General Wen swallowed his throat: "These are all planted in Chu Shang Palace?"

It's just amazing.

"It's not planted by Miss, could it be that it was planted by Vice Admiral Wen?" Bixiu said angrily, and Vice Admiral Wen opened his mouth and said embarrassedly: "I didn't mean that." ”

The next step is to plant wheat and rice in the greenhouses, and the rice is in the reclamation stage, which takes a few days to feed the soil.

There are dozens of sheds, and after seeing a circle, Vice General Wen is ashamed and eager to find a crack in the ground to get into.

blamed him for underestimating Chu Yunning.

This woman can't be compared to ordinary women at all.

"In the past half a month, I have been tired of Vice General Wen guarding this shed, which is full of cabbage, which can be harvested in a few days, just for the soldiers to make cabbage to eat. Chu Yunning pointed to a greenhouse behind him, and the Chinese cabbage visible to the naked eye had already taken shape.

"I can't guarantee that the soldiers can eat fresh vegetables every day, but I can only guarantee that the soldiers can improve their food every three or five times. Chu Yunning said.

Vice General Wen nodded: "Cheng, this matter is not difficult, just leave it to me, isn't it just to control the temperature, and then give some charcoal fire to don't let these vegetables freeze, but this charcoal fire is really a bit expensive." ”

"Vice General Wen doesn't have to worry about this, the charcoal fire will be there soon. Bixiu said.

Her young lady was already preparing to burn charcoal fires and supply all the tents as much as possible, but Vice Admiral Wen didn't believe it: "This is not an overnight thing, I don't believe that anyone can solve this problem." ”

"Vice Admiral Wen forgot what he just said that you can't grow vegetables in winter?" Bi Xiu reminded in a loud voice.

Vice Admiral Wen was dumbfounded.

At this time, Father-in-law Mo came and said that the emperor was looking for her, so Chu Yunning simply cleaned up and went.

Emperor Mingwen asked directly: "How is it, Vice General Wen didn't embarrass you, right?"

"How could the emperor think that I could be troubled?" Chu Yunning was helpless and funny, did he seem to be easily bullied?

"Vice General Wen is a big man and three thick, with a tendon in his brain, and he is a good hand on the battlefield. "If it weren't for General Wen's courage and loyalty, Emperor Mingwen would have done it a long time ago based on his words in the afternoon.

Chu Yunning nodded in understanding: "Vice General Wen has been stationed at the border for more than ten years, and it is normal for me to be a little woman if I am not convinced, the emperor can rest assured, I will do things in a measured manner, and I will not be too embarrassed by Vice General Wen." ”

"Chushang Palace, you misunderstood, the emperor is worried that you will be wronged. Father-in-law Mo hurriedly explained.

Emperor Mingwen squinted at Gonggong Mo angrily, but he didn't explain anything, and continued, "I asked Vice General Wen to go under you, not to give you anger, there is a Vice General Wen today, and there will be other people who are not convinced tomorrow, Vice General Wen has always admired people who are better than him, if you convince him, no one will dare to question you in the military camp in the future." ”

Chu Yunning was surprised: "Thank you for the emperor's reminder, I understand this matter." ”

Immediately after that, Emperor Mingwen asked again: "I heard that you are studying charcoal?"

"Do you want the emperor to go and see it together?"

Emperor Mingwen didn't hesitate, he nodded and agreed directly, and the speed made her almost think that the other party was waiting for her words.

She built a large boiler in the back mountain, referring to the heating of the modern north, and at first she thought of burying the pipes underground, but after thinking about it, this behavior is not very reliable, after all, the pipes are dead, and if the place is moved, it will be in vain.

So she planned to put a small stove pipe in each tent, on which the stove was raised, and it could be heated to drink water, and boil some ginger soup or something.

This large boiler is responsible for refining charcoal fire, compared to the charcoal burned by trees, it is more suitable to dig charcoal stone directly on the mountain, and the charcoal stone is more resistant to burning.

"You can't supply it during the day, but when you sleep at night, you can keep every soldier warm. ”

Emperor Mingwen picked up the charcoal stone on the ground, and it was pitch black: "Can this be burned?"

As he spoke, he threw the charcoal stone in his hand into a pile of fire, and after a while, the charcoal stone was burning, and his whole body was wrapped in fire.

"Your Majesty, you can really burn. Grandpa Mo was surprised.
