Chapter 115: Peasant Barracks

The ice and snow in the middle of winter have long since melted away, and spring has returned to the earth, with clear water and blue sky. In the blink of an eye, it has come to the spring of March, and the mild spring has quietly come to the world.

At this time, it was noon one day at the end of March, and the sun was hanging high, shining brightly, and it was warming, and thousands of living beings on the earth.

A soft spring breeze blows in the face, mixed with the fragrance of the earth and the bright flowers in the mountains......

Wang Baoshan stood in one place, on a low dirt bag, looking at a group of people not far away, nervously and busily cultivating the land.

Among them, in addition to more than a dozen young men, there are also nearly 100 old and young women and children. These people are all new soldiers who have been assigned to Wang Baoshan's barracks from the original mining slaves in Bishan in the recent personnel transfer.

It turned out that after returning to Heifengling that day, Wang Baoshan found Wang Qiang and Du Xiaosan, and explained his thoughts to them.

He felt that his martial arts skills were not good, and he was not suitable to stay in the barracks. It is better to find a suitable place for farming on the Black Wind Ridge, cultivate for the Black Wind Army, and ensure everyone's food supply.

After Wang Qiang and Du Xiaosan heard this, where was they willing to agree to him, so they had to persuade him bitterly, saying that these things could have been done by others, and there was no need to let themselves do it themselves!

Moreover, judging from the current situation of the Black Wind Army, it is precisely the need for experienced generals to lead the troops to lead the order. How could Wang Baoshan go to farming, instead of leading a battalion of soldiers to work on duty!

In this regard, Wang Baoshan has his own opinion, he told them that it is the same thing to go into battle to kill the enemy and farm and hoard grain.

Besides, for everyone's future development, they Black Wind Army can't always steal other people's food!

There should always be a food base of its own, which will also facilitate the long-term development of the Black Wind Army in the future!

In this way, the three of them have been arguing with each other for a long time.

Wang Baoshan is even more bent on going his own way, determined to go, return to the countryside, and work hard.

made Wang Qiang, and Du Xiaosan and the two of them depressed. In the end, there was no way, so they had to invite Zhao Qingshan to reconcile and discuss.

Zhao Qingshan did not object to this, but he did not approve of it either.

He said that if Wang Baoshan wants to go to reclamation and cultivation, it is okay. But the original military rank remains the same, but the personnel have to be rearranged. Because the current Black Wind Army is at the time of employing people, it can't arrange the original living force to Wang Baoshan's subordinates and waste resources.

So, Wang Baoshan led these more than 100 old and young women and children to this empty mountain land and began the big project of cultivating wasteland.

It is not far from Heifeng Village, and there is also a river next to it, which meanders through, and the river water storage capacity is not small, which is one of the few big rivers on Heifeng Ridge.

This clearing is quite flat, located in the west of the Black Wind Ridge, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and has a radius of more than 100 miles.

According to a new old man, this land is very suitable for cultivation.

He said that here, it is located in a basin structure, the soil is fertile, the air is moist, and the sunshine area is also very good. If you work here, you will definitely get a good harvest after autumn.

For these, Wang Baoshan also knows a little about it, since everyone thinks it's okay, then it's not bad to be in this kind of field.

He first arranged for men to go to the forest in the mountains behind the house, cut wood, and build the houses where everyone lived. With a few experts with farming experience, they began to measure the land, divide the acres of land, and survey the soil situation.

He also had to follow his own Lu Yun and take some people to investigate the direction of the river, so as to facilitate the construction of water conservancy and irrigation of farmland in the future.

There are a lot of things, and it's enough time for them to be busy for a while.

In this way, from the end of February to the end of March, it took them more than a month to plan and trim a piece of land within a radius of five miles.

This also has to be the result that Wang Baoshan and their group of people are more concerned about this reclamation and farming.

Because this is not a simple matter, it requires a lot of time, not to mention, but also sufficient manpower and material resources.

He had to be busy with more than 100 people under him every day. Often it is done at sunrise and resting at sunset, and the hard work is a little hard, but his life has gradually returned to calm and fulfillment.

"General, you should be able to finish it today!"

At this time, Lu Yun, who had just finished checking the canal and digging and building matters, came to Wang Baoshan, where he was on the small earthen bag.

Seeing him coming, Wang Baoshan hurriedly asked him, "What's going on over there?"

"Back to the general's words, the aqueduct and the small ditches to the various acres of land have been dug and built in accordance with the trend you planned. Now they can channel the river and water the fields when the soil is finished. ”

"How's the green manure doing?"

"This afternoon, it should be able to be dumped. ”

"Very good, let's tidy up the mud in the paddy field first, and then sow the rice seeds. ”

"Yes......"

After a brief conversation, Wang Baoshan took Lu Yun and planned to inspect the production process of green manure.

It is said to be green manure, but in fact, there is nothing special.

This is a kind of fertilizer mentioned by Wang Baoshan according to the "Notes on Farming".

The process of making it is also very simple, that is, digging a big deep pit and collecting all kinds of rotten leaves and weeds from the surrounding mountains and fields, as well as wild fruits with no edible value.

Then put some water in it, bury it together, and carry out natural fermentation, so as to produce the fertilizer needed by the paddy field.

More than half a month has passed since it was buried. Since yesterday morning, Wang Baoshan has asked people to dig up the fertilizer and dump it in the reclaimed paddy fields.

There are now more than a hundred people under his hands, and he can be regarded as a veritable centurion. Although it is not a leading attendance, it is also a great credit to cultivate and cultivate.

In order to facilitate management, he also divided the more than 100 people into two groups, one is the irrigation camp with a small number of young and vigorous people, and the other is the sowing camp with many old and young women and children.

This irrigation camp is not only responsible for the daily maintenance of canals and ditches, and the drainage of river water, but also responsible for the irrigation and management of fields.

And the sowing camp, as the name suggests, is responsible for sowing seeds, and daily weeding and fertilization.

Everything seems to be in order, but I don't know what will happen to the harvest in the future?

"General......

"General Wang......"

"General, why are you here......

Along the way, the people who were busy in the fields all greeted Wang Baoshan, which made his heart feel a little fluttering.

Anyway, he is still a centurion, and the soldiers of other battalions may not take him seriously anymore, but these people in their own battalion still respect him very much.

Most of them were miners, who used to farm in their hometowns to support their families, but were later forced to become miners. Now, they can pick up the hoe again, but it is also thanks to Wang Baoshan's decision. For this, they are all satisfied and grateful to him.

Wang Baoshan also deliberately gave his farming team a more appropriate title, called the peasant barracks.

He felt that his peasant battalion would not be worse than any other team.

Although they are no longer armed forces that go into battle to kill the enemy. However, the logistics troops, who cultivate the fields and grow grain, are the support teams that provide strong support for the rations of the whole army and all the sergeants.

"No matter what, you have to have confidence in your team!"

These are the words he said to himself at this moment, when he looked at the busy people.

"Oops......"

Unfortunately, while he was walking and watching, he was careless, his feet slipped, and he fell into the small ditch next to the field.

"General, slow down... Haha..."

Lu Yun, who was following him, couldn't help but feel funny when he saw him being thrown into the mud and embarrassed, and wanted to hold back, but after all, he couldn't hold back and laughed.

Wang Baoshan didn't let others help him, and climbed up from the ditch himself.

He patted the dirt off his body and found that it was just clothes, dirty.

Fortunately, this ditch has just been dug not long ago, and there is no water in it, otherwise, he would have to become a soup chicken.

"It's okay... OK...... I'm going to change my clothes, and you watch here for a while, and then wait for the noon meal, and when it's ready, you let them stop eating......"

After he finished speaking to Lu Yun, he turned around and walked back, planning to go back to his residence first and change his clothes.

This is really unfavorable, he can fall on every road, and he should be unlucky!

The current peasant barracks, no more than other barracks, are not very rigorous in arranging personnel. Wang Baoshan's requirements for them are not high, as long as they ensure normal cultivation and planting, and when they are free, everyone can arrange them freely.

He is in the peasant barracks, and he doesn't have any shelf, and he is also kind to everyone. When there is something, everyone does it together, and everyone is busy with everything when it's okay, and it's all right.

When he returned, he came to a hill near a forest. At the top of the hill was a thatched hut, where he lived.

The surrounding environment is good, and there is a large forest behind the mountain, which goes directly to the forest sea of the mountain behind the house. There is also a small river with plenty of water at the bottom of the mountain, which is also convenient for daily use.

In addition, on the hill, the view is wide, and when you climb high and look into the distance, you can also see the entire field, which is indeed an excellent place to live.

When Wang Baoshan changed into his usual clothes and came out of the thatched hut, a child of five or six years old had already brought him today's lunch.

He looked at the skinny child, and after putting down the meal, he ran away like a wild fly, and wondered in his heart. I have never beaten and scolded him, why is this kid still so timid.

I think that at the beginning, when Han Shu, a staff general in charge of field services, brought his wife and children to the agricultural barracks to look for him, he introduced this child, saying that it was his eldest son, named Han Qi.

At that time, Han Shu said that if his family could work in this kind of field, he would not have to go to the fortification camp to work, and the peasant barracks were relatively much more leisurely than there.

For such a person who takes the initiative to farm, Wang Baoshan naturally does not refuse, after all, there are many people needed to cultivate the wasteland.

Therefore, whether it is old or young, women and children, or strong men, if they want to come to the barracks to farm, he will accept them and provide them with food and shelter.

After lunch, he washed the dishes and chopsticks and planned to take a nap. There is no longer a need for attendance tasks, and his daily time is quite sufficient and free.

In his spare time, he also had to prepare seeds for various grains, which was enough for him to work for a while.

Therefore, today, on this relatively idle day, he planned to wait until the afternoon to find Du Xiaosan, who was in charge of the Black Wind Army and logistics, to order the seeds of crops.
