Chapter Eighty-Nine: General Order

“…… These are a few brave people in this battle, you see, think about it, please ask for merit, and posthumously seal it...... And don't forget...... The aftermath is arranged. Qin Zheng handed a piece of paper in his hand to Tang Wenyong beside him.

"Well," Tang Wenyong took it, swept it quickly, and said, "The others have heard of the name before, but this Hu Yanxun is the first time I have heard of it, and it is newly raised?" Well, how am I not impressed? ”

Tang Wenyong is in charge of logistics, and although he is not in charge of personnel arrangements, the military salaries are distributed through his hands, so how many soldiers and generals there are in this army, and the job grades of these generals, I am afraid that Qin Zheng does not know better. That's why I asked.

Qin Zheng casually glanced at the three words on the paper, and said lightly: "I was on duty in Huairong before, when Huairong was attacked, it was he who took a few soldiers to protect most of the people from getting out, and it is said that his archery skills are good." However, the Huairong county commander refused to follow the people all the way, but was intercepted and killed by the Rong people...... Hum! ”

"Oh, that's a rare one." Tang Wenyong agreed, and said, "This person ...... This time, he entered the vanguard and beheaded more than 100 enemies...... Hey, three heads and one turn, there are really a lot of more than 100 enemy leaders...... Hehe, although it is no longer judged by the enemy, this merit is not light. How are you going to place him? ”

Qin Zheng sat behind the low table, one hand on his knee hanging on the table, and his slender fingers gently tapped the tabletop, making a low string of tuk tuk sounds.

After a while, Qin Zheng raised his eyes and said, "It was just a small flag before, it's too out of place...... Just invite him to a hundred households! ”

The small flag is the most basic unit of the military structure, and a small flag has jurisdiction over 10 people. Five small flags are one general flag. The two general flags are 100 households, and one person is six products for 100 households, and one person from 100 households is from six products. From a small flag that has not entered the stream, it has jumped to a hundred households with six grades, and there is no difference between the three grades and nine levels on the bright side, which is much faster than upgrading to three levels in a row. This speed of promotion, even in combat units, is extremely fast, and it is enough to make many people red-eyed.

Tang Wenyong pursed his lips and said in his heart, saying that it was not good to rise quickly, and he also raised the ninth level in one breath...... It seems that this one has caught his eye.

The two were discussing when suddenly the curtain was lifted, and a burly man shaped like a black iron tower strode in.

"Damn, Gao Xiupu is really damn good...... Hong Zhanpeng scolded as he stepped forward, "I just messed with those broken things before, but now, the eldest brother personally went to find healing medicine, and he didn't send troops to escort it, so the merchant hired a dart bureau to escort it...... Damn! ”

As soon as they heard this, Qin Zheng and Tang Wenyong also had cold faces.

Qin Zheng didn't speak with a cold face, and Tang Wenyong muttered: "This time, let's play the merit and ask for the merit, this merit will be rewarded, and those who have done it should also be punished......"

After a pause, Tang Wenyong raised his eyes to look at Qin Zheng and Hong Zhanpeng, and said, "He can shake off the medicine this time, but the next season's grain and grass will be escorted soon...... If so, if there is anything missing from the grain and grass, it is...... No matter how much he believes in him, he will not be able to protect him. ”

Hong Zhanpeng glared at Qin Zheng, and threw a fist towards Tang Wenyong, the big fist of the bowl really smashed on his body, just Tang Wenyong's body, and he didn't break the bones. However, obviously Tang Wenyong is also used to this guy's style, seeing Hong Zhanpeng's fist smashing over, he moved his body slightly, and easily dodged.

"Hehe, Ah Wen's light work has made great progress!" Hong Zhanpeng smiled, but he didn't care, strode forward and reached out to hug Tang Wenyong, patted Tang Wenyong's back with a fan-like palm, and slapped Tang Wenyong grinning and scolding for a while, then he let go with satisfaction, gave Tang Wenyong a thumbs up, squeezed his eyebrows and said, "In terms of yin tricks, you are still a good kid!" ”

After speaking, no matter how ugly Tang Wenyong's face was, he turned to Qin Zheng and said loudly: "Big brother, there is not much work to do at this time, if not, send my junior brother to pick up the Liao family's caravan!" ”

Qin Zheng raised his eyelids, squinted at Hong Zhanpeng and said, "When did you become so enthusiastic?" ”

Hong Zhanpeng gritted his teeth and smiled, his black face and white teeth were particularly dazzling: "Big brother, if you know my younger brother, you know that I am the most warm-hearted...... Hehe, eldest brother, it is reported that the Lin family also sent someone to follow the Liao family's caravan to the north, and it is said that they want to offer some healing medicine and wine......"

The first half of the sentence was said loudly, and the second half of Hong Zhanpeng's sentence leaned into Qin Zheng's ear.

Qin Zheng frowned slightly, and stared at Hong Zhanpeng in a blink of an eye, the latter smiled hesitantly, he couldn't see anything in his mind at all, and those who didn't understand thought he was a simple and honest person.

Frowning and muttering for a moment, Qin Zheng got up and walked to the detailed map of the battle situation hanging on the wall. Hong Zhanpeng stepped forward with a very eye-catching gaze, stretched out his hand and pointed to the southern entrance of the Yanyun Mountain Range. Qin Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Spread Xu Linchuan and Cen Dazhi to see you!" ”

The soldiers outside the tent agreed, and ran to give orders, but after a cup of tea, two generals in light armor wanted to follow into the tent, and stood still in the tent and bowed their hands: "General! ”

"Xu Linchuan! Cen Dazhi! ”

"The last general!" Xu Linchuan and Cen Dazhi knelt on one knee and saluted.

Qin Zheng pulled out a token and threw it down, "Order the two of you, the two thousand people in the Shuai Division, and immediately set off to the Yanyun Mountain Canyon to suppress the bandits!" ”

Bandits?

Xu Linchuan and Cen Dazhi were slightly stunned, but then bowed their heads and responded: "The last general will take the order!" ”

The two picked up the token and got up, and then they showed two big smiling faces, because they were fighting and training soldiers outside, these two people were also tanned, and their snow-white teeth were the same as Hong Zhanpeng.

Bandits? It's a fat gap for them as regular soldiers.

Who doesn't know that the Yanyun Mountain Range is a bandit's nest, on the large and small hills, almost every mountain has built a bandit village, the big village has hundreds of people, and the small village has only a few dozen people, but because the Yanyun Mountain Range is a necessary trade route connecting the Ming Dynasty, there are many caravans, so it is enough to feed these mountain bandits. Of course, among these mountain bandits, some of them are not satisfied with their work, and they will go to the villages below the mountain to rob, and some will go to the nomadic tribes outside the gate to rob, anyway, for them, there is no difference between inside and outside the pass, they are all fat sheep they want to rob!

These mountain bandits are majestic and even cold-blooded and ruthless to the caravans, but if they are against the regular army, they are not able to be low-grade at all, but the Yanyun Mountains are steep and the terrain is complex, and the government army has also sent troops to suppress them several times, but this mountain bandit is like a leek, cutting stubble after stubble, but it is not clean.

The army of officers and soldiers was suppressed, and even the houses were burned, but not long after, people gathered together and went up the mountain...... As time goes by, the army and the government will be tired, and as long as these mountain bandits do not create too big a case and do not provoke the government army, the government army will not have time to deal with them.

Xu Linchuan and Cen Dazhi walked out, and while lowering their heads and grinning, they summed up: "How long has it been since the last time the bandits were suppressed?" It's going to take five or six years, right? ”

"It's been seven years, hehe......"

It has not been cleared for seven years, which shows that the mountain bandits on Yanyun Mountain have been raised for seven years, seven years, enough fat!

Seeing the two people coming out of the tent with a smile, Hong Zhanpeng stopped doing it and shouted at Qin Zheng: "Big brother, why did you send the two of them to go?" Let me go too, I'll go and sweep them both up! I promise not to rob them both! ”

Qin Zheng didn't raise his eyelids, and said lightly: "Just you?" ”

The implication is: just you? Ghosts don't believe it!

Seeing that yelling didn't work, Hong Zhanpeng immediately changed his smiling face, approached Qin Zheng with a smile, and whispered: "Big brother, let my brother go, what, the two of them are going to suppress the bandits, can't I go to pick up the caravan?" Ten days, I promise...... Well, no, return in eight days! ”

Tang Wenyong sat next to him and lazily dismantled the stage: "Hey, just go from here to Yanyun Mountain, and it will take eight days?" Eight days, a woman also walked back and forth! ”

"Shut up, you don't talk to no one when you're dumb!" Hong Zhanpeng was angry and didn't dare to fall towards Qin Zheng, and went straight towards Tang Wenyong.

It's a pity that Tang Wenyong didn't eat him at all, and pouted: "If you don't fight for yourself, don't let people say it?" Your part is full of two horses, and you say eight days...... Double riding and double crossing, 300 miles, you are embarrassed to say eight days......"

Hong Zhanpeng didn't care about Qin Zheng's request, walked over quickly, stretched out his hand to cover Tang Wenyong's mouth first, and whispered: "Don't say it, I can't bring you with me?" ”

Tang Wenyong glanced at him, then blinked, and agreed. Only then did Hong Zhanpeng let go of his hand with confidence, Tang Wenyong gasped for breath in embarrassment, but Hong Zhanpeng didn't care about him, and returned to Qin Zheng again: "Big brother, general, please allow the last general to ask for his life and go to Yanyun Mountain to pick up the medicine caravan!" ”

Qin Zheng seemed to have just heard Hong Zhanpeng's plea this time, raised his head lightly, glanced at him, and said, "Hong Zhanpeng!" ”

"Uh, the last general!" Hong Zhanpeng's face was happy, and he walked to the tent in a few steps and knelt on one knee.

"I order you to lead 200 men and horses to Yanyun Mountain to meet the medicine supply caravan, and return within five days, after the deadline...... Military disposition! ”

Hong Zhanpeng's face was full of joy, but when he suddenly heard the deadline behind him, a big smiling face immediately turned into a crying face. But military orders are like mountains, and they can't be changed if they are issued, and no matter how unwilling he is, he can only obediently accept orders.

Holding the token, Hong Zhanpeng grinded again: "Big brother, five days is too short, if you don't give eight days, you can give seven days...... Ah, six days, six days? ”

Five days is just enough to go back and forth, and there is no leisure time to desert at all...... Seven days is barely enough, and six days is a day to desert......

Qin Zheng opened his eyes suddenly, and said coldly: "Are you going to violate the order?" ”

"Uh, no, no!" Hong Zhanpeng responded with a bitter face, hurriedly retreated, and as he walked, he didn't forget to glare at Tang Wenyong who was smiling next to him, "Schadenfreude, hum, come back and settle accounts with you!" ”

Qin Zheng turned a blind eye to the secret lawsuit between these two people, and if he observed carefully, he could see that the corners of his mouth were slightly curled up in a very small arc at this time.

Reaching out to open a small bamboo tube on the table, he took out a note from it, slowly unfolded it, and after sweeping it, Qin Zheng's face turned completely cold. Raise your eyes, as if looking through the big tent to a distant place, your eyes are like ice!

×××××××××××××

It was said that Qiu Chen would mention the stewardship after Mai Qiu's vacation, and Lin Zi and Da Zhuang couldn't help but ask if they also had the same monthly money as Lan Ying. Lan Ying's monthly money of five taels of silver has made these boys red for a long time.

When Lan Ying heard this, she couldn't help but be proud and a little uncomfortable. Everyone else also pretended not to care, but in fact, they all pricked up their ears and waited for Qiu Chen's answer.

Qiu Chen's eyes swept away, and he saw everyone's expressions in his eyes, and said with a slight smile: "You two boys, are you looking forward to receiving the same monthly money as your sister-in-law Lan Ying?" ”

Lin Zi and Da Zhuang blushed suddenly, Da Zhuang touched his head hesitantly, and Lin Zi blushed and smirked.

Qiu Chen said with a smile: "Your sister-in-law Lan Ying leads your sister-in-law Qingshan and Aunt Qinghe, you two talk about it yourself, among these people, who can you lead?" Pick out two, and I'll put you in charge!" ”

Lin Zi and Da Zhuang were a little dumbfounded, and turned their heads to look at the crowd, Lan Ying and the three women did not dare to say hello, Yuxiang was young, they were embarrassed to greet them; The rest of the men, Brother Quan's ghosts, they can't play with their hearts; Liu Zhanxiang? Erkui? Uh, a big brother, an uncle's generation...... Not to mention Junwen, don't look at this smiling man, not to mention that he is the nephew of the owner, they can't compare with the jishu of the fried medicine and pharmaceutical, and even the smashing work they do themselves, they have to find help if they make some difficulties......

The two boys looked around, and the result was that they were shocked, and they blushed and lowered their heads.

Lin Zi was more lively, lowered his head slightly and thought about it, and then said with a smile: "I can't get anyone...... Hey! ”

Da Zhuang also nodded in agreement.

Qiu Chen laughed, and everyone laughed along.

Laughing enough, Qiu Chen sandwiched two ribs between the two of them, and said with a smile: "The two of you are about the same age, the youngest is kind-hearted and knows how to respect the elderly, and you are both haode." It's just that this is not a matter of one sentence. You have to be able to manage things. If you don't know a lot of things yourself, and you can't do it well, how can you manage other people's affairs? Now, the two of you have done your own work well, but it's not enough, it's not enough. Don't look at the fact that it's very simple for us to crush the medicinal materials, as if this job can be done by a powerful person. But now we have only made more than ten flavors of medicinal materials, and you will know that Panax notoginseng is strong, and it needs to be broken first and then crushed; Borneol is expensive, so it needs to be skewered to ensure its efficacy and minimize loss; In the future, we will make other medicines, and we will also crush more delicate and expensive ginseng, sticky and hand-stained cooked ground, and greasy peach kernels and almonds...... Because of their different characteristics, they have their own corresponding crushing methods suitable for them. Therefore, the crushing of medicinal materials is a very large and deep knowledge. The two of you work very hard, but there is just a small problem, superficial, not deep enough. Hehe, if you work in the future, you can't know how to exert yourself, but also use your brain, for example, if you grind a notoginseng today, and then encounter a hard and heavy medicine similar to it, what should you do? Today, I powdered borneol with skewers, and then I met camphor and borneol, and I knew how to do it......"

When it comes to making pharmaceuticals and medicines, Qiu Chen is a little anxious, a group of people, not only Lin Zi and Da Zhuang, but everyone else also listens attentively, but everyone who understands a little knows that what Qiu Chen said at this time is to teach how to do work, well, only after doing a good job can you be a steward and receive a high salary!

It took a long time to answer Lin Zi and Da Zhuang's questions, and after a while, he said: "In addition to mentioning the steward, we have another thing to announce, Zhan Xiang, Da Zhuang, Brother Quan, Lin Zi, Yuxiang, you are late, when you come, we said that we will try it for three months...... However, at the moment, I feel that everyone is working very hard, so after Mai Qiu, we will sign a formal contract of hard work. Hehe, you don't need to ask, after signing a formal employment contract, your salary will naturally rise. However, this is a big matter, you don't have to answer me now, go home and discuss with your family, maybe your family is ready to marry you after Mai Qiu, then you can't take care of coming to work...... Whether you come back to sign the contract or are busy marrying your daughter-in-law at home, you have discussed it in the past few days, just come and give me a word, in case you have a daughter-in-law who can't come, I will make arrangements as soon as possible. Okay, everything that needs to be said has been said, everyone eats and drinks well, drinks and eats well! ”

Although Qiu Chen said two possibilities, everyone knew in their hearts that it was difficult to find such a haode worker anywhere, and it would be stupid not to come. Even if the family asks you to marry a daughter-in-law, you can't be in a hurry at this time, wait for a good salary for a year or two, the family has money, and you can marry a daughter-in-law in a generous way, then it is called a scenery! It's not better than marrying at this time and having to borrow debts!

The wages just received were hard and heavy in their arms, which made everyone full of joy and steadfastness, and learned that after the wheat autumn vacation, there were both salary increases and promotion opportunities, and everyone's mood was happy and excited, and they felt that the future was very good, and this day was very prosperous.

Xiang'er and Zhi'er were all happy, but the more Xiu'er and Yingzi listened, the more envious they became, and the more they listened, the more they felt that their hearts were hot, and at the same time, they felt that they were not very eye-catching, so they were a little discouraged......

Rejoicing, eating and drinking beautifully, everyone helped clean up, washed up, and brought a large bowl of leftovers folded together, and then they took their own joyful farewell and went home.

Qiu Chen took the five children, cleaned up inside and out, latched the door, and went to the backyard to go around again, to see if everything was properly placed, the chickens and horses should be closed, and the ones that should be fed were fed, so they went back to the front yard, and boiled the haode water while cooking, washed each, gathered on the kang in the main house, read and wrote, and finished, Qiu Chen told a story to the big and small, Junwen took Junyan Junzhang back to the West Chamber, and Qiu Chen also took the two small places to sleep.

Gently patting Aman, listening to the breathing of the two children gradually become longer and thinner, knowing that the children were asleep, Qiu Chen pulled the corners of the quilt for them and covered them, but he lay in the dark, silently thinking about what to do next.

Although no one has come to her to coerce and tempt her, she has been faintly aware of the faint undercurrent surging.

Needless to say, most of the people in the village are honest and simple, and there are a few people who have bad intentions, and they can't jump even if they are alone. However, the Liu landlord Liu Bingshan's family, from the previous conflict between Junyan Junzhang and Steward Liu's son, heard only a few words, as well as the reason for the grudge passed down by the Qingshan family, and the actions of Tongzhi Gongzi and his party around the Lin family that day...... Qiu Chen faintly felt a sense of crisis that the mountain rain was about to come, and the wind was full of buildings.

And after the stone incident, Qiu Chen also learned that this era pays more attention to the survival motto of 'the people do not fight with the officials', and the common people are much more serious than the modern fear of officials who preach democracy and freedom, and the official government, even if it is the family members and servants of the official government, are covered with a layer of mysterious and dazzling colors, and the common people consciously think that they are one level lower than those who are stained with the word 'official', and he will be grateful to him if people are kind to him......

Therefore, if you really face the same acquaintance, or if you are an official figure, it will not work at all with the maintenance of the villagers.

What to do? Qiu Chen pondered, his heart gradually became clear, tired for a day, sleepiness came to him, and he fell asleep unconsciously.

Compared with the tranquility and calm of the Lin family, how many people in the little Liu Jiaao are lit up until late at night tonight.

The people who help in the Lin family, don't see much of the salary, but the flesh and hair clothes are seen by so many people who sell Luo Bu linen, the fine and soft cotton cloth, many people have not worn it since childhood, such a big piece of meat, two or three catties, fat white and thin red, trembling, really gluttonous! After a rumor of people's mouths, before it was time for dinner, everyone in the village knew about the Lin family's generous treatment of the helpers, and there was almost no one who did not envy them, and many people began to think about how to think about how to enter the Lin family to work.

No matter whether you can sleep or not, no matter how you calculate, the night passed quickly, and a new day came, and it was a sunny day.

Because some Luo Bu Ma was collected yesterday, Lan Ying, Qinghe, Qingshan Family, and Yuxiang still came over to finish packing these Luo Bu Ma.

Qiu Chen said hello to them, and then took Junwen and the three small ones to the field under the east slope to see their wheat fields.

Speaking of which, this is the first time Qiu Chen has gone to his own field, and the management and sowing of crops in the field have always been handed over to Liu Sanhe to take care of. She was also very relieved, because Lan Ying's family had a piece of land adjacent to the Lin family's field, and the Manchu father and son would go to the field almost every day. Liu Sanhe just wants to be slippery and lazy, but he doesn't have a chance.

A group of people, Junyan Junzhang led the big yellow horse, Junwen carried a basket, put a vegetable shovel in the basket, and Qiu Chen took care of Afu and Aman's two small ones attentively, leisurely all the way to the field, at first glance, it doesn't look like work, but it looks like a spring outing!

At the end of the fourth month of the lunar calendar, the fields are already a lush scene. The trees are shady, the vegetation is luxuriant, and as far as the eye can see, the large fields of winter wheat have been full of ears, and the ears of wheat are brushed against the wheat mang'er, showing a faint yellow-green color under the gradually blazing sun at the end of April.

"When the wheat is ripe, the wheat is harvested", it means that when the wheat is ripe, the wheat leaves may still be green in the morning, and on a sunny day, the wheat ears and even the whole plant will turn golden yellow, which means that the wheat is ripe and will be harvested.

After not going far, the group came to the bottom of the eastern slope. Junyan Junzhang led the big yellow horse to eat grass on the slope, and Afu Aman also followed Junyan Junzhang on the hillside, picking wild flowers, pulling two green vegetables, and jumping with joy.

Qiu Chen and Junwen walked down the hill and came to their field. The field is not far from the east slope, is Lin Sheng's tomb, the bald soil steamed bun in the Qingming time, this time is also occupied by wild grass and wild vegetables, turned into a green green steamed bun, the willow branch inserted during the burial and the Qingming sacrifice, there are two sprouts, crooked, and a few willow branches that are still weak are pulled out. Qiu Chen stood on the ground, watched Lin Sheng's tomb stand silently for a moment, then turned around and followed Junwen and began to check his wheat.

The Lin family's wheat is not too much, only less than one and a half acres.

Just looked at the ground, I only felt that the Lin family's wheat was no worse than that of the Manchu family, and even because Qiu Chen spent money to buy fertilizer, the fertilizer was sufficient, the Lin family's wheat seemed to be a little higher than that of the Manchu family, and the wheat ears were also brushed. But when he got closer, Qiu Chen looked at the situation of the wheat ears carefully, and couldn't help but be disappointed, the wheat ears looked quite big, and when he held them in his hands, he knew that two-thirds of them were wheat mangs, and the really full ears were very small, not half the size of the wheat ears in Qiu Chen's impression, and they were fluttering lightly in the palm of his hand......

"Aunt, this year's wheat is so good...... If this acre of land is knocked down, there must be more than three stones, and maybe there will be a harvest of four stones! What a harvest this time! Junwen's joyful voice came from beside him, reminding Qiu Chen.

Yes, she always subconsciously uses modern standards to measure, the crops of this era have not been improved by varieties, how can they be compared with modern excellent varieties with thousands of yields per mu?

Listening to Junwen's words, it would be good if the harvest of one acre of wheat could have three stones. One stone (dan) is about 120 catties, and three stones are less than 400 catties, which is more than twice as bad as the yield per mu of 1,000 catties! Well, she is researching drug compatibility and drug biochemistry, but there is no way to improve the variety of crops. The yield per mu is 1,000 catties...... Just keep it in your head and make a thought!

After comforting himself in his heart, Qiu Chen also put away the dissatisfaction, and discussed the wheat cutting and harvesting the wheat happily like Junwen.

"Aunt, I think our wheat will take two or three days to ripen at the earliest, just take advantage of these two days of effort, let's cut some vines and grass back, rub some grass about (yao), clean up the sickle, and see where to press the field......" Junwen is very strange, his uncle has been gone for two years, and these jobs were arranged by my uncle before, after my uncle left, what did my aunt do? How can I look at my aunt as if she doesn't know anything about farming!

After a pause, Junwen may also feel that his arrangement is a little too big, so he smiled embarrassedly and said, "It's a lot to say, but our family has big livestock and cars, and it's very cheap to transport wheat on the field, so don't worry." ”

Qiu Chen is really not in a hurry, she doesn't know anything, why is she in a hurry!

However, there is no need to say the truth, she looked at Junwen with satisfaction and smiled: "I don't know yet, Junwen is also a good hand in farming!" ”

He said: "Junwen is so capable, I don't have to worry about it, you can do what you want to do!" I only need to buy things when the time comes, and I want money to buy things or something, just come and tell my aunt. ”

Junwen blushed slightly and agreed again and again. It can be seen that the young man is very excited because he was let go by an adult for the first time and mastered such a major event as the wheat harvest.

The matter of the wheat harvest was handed over to Junwen, and Qiu Chen really left it alone. Walking out of the wheat field, he was led by Junwen to the hillside, and he would go to the hillside with the three small ones, and by the way, he would look for the vine grass that Junwen said.

Vine grass is a kind of creeping herbaceous plant, the stem and vine are slender and soft but extremely tough, and particularly long, the length can reach more than two meters, the farmer family takes local materials, and uses this vine grass to rub into grass, bundle the harvested crops, and some people will also use it to tie thin barriers.

Qiu Chen didn't know this thing, but Junwen Junyan and Junzhang were very familiar with it, and soon found a piece on the hillside, and the Junwen brothers started together, and quickly cut a large bundle, and Junwen took a few vine bales and put them on horseback.

In this season, wild vegetables have grown, gray cabbage, broom cabbage, horse mustard, mother-in-law, ququ cabbage, pig tooth grass...... All of them are fresh and tender, Qiu Chen took Ah Fu and Aman to dig more and more energetically, and when he looked up, a large basket was full.

Raising the back of his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, Qiu Chen raised his head and greeted the children: "Let's go, go home!" ”

Junwen walked over, pressed the wild vegetables in the basket hard, carried them in his hands, and then beckoned the four younger siblings, big and small, and did not forget to take care of his aunt, reminding Qiu Chen to be careful with his feet from time to time.

Qiu Chen was very satisfied with the care of his nephew, and his heart was full of joy.

It seems that in the future, we should add more burdens to the children, so that they can exercise and grow up in the actual management operation.

Walking all the way back to Lin's house, when they came to the door of the house, Junyan Junzhang moved the newly added fence gate of the pond fence, carefully led the big yellow horse down to drink water, and cleaned their dirty little hands and faces by the way. Qiu Chen took the vegetable basket and said to Junwen: "You can go too, look at a few small ones, don't get your clothes wet!" ”

Junwen nodded with a smile and walked quickly down the stone steps. Qiu Chen stood and watched for a while, the children laughed and laughed, and then turned around and went home.

Lan Ying's work for the four of them was almost done, Qiu Chen washed his hands and faces, went to the backyard, and accompanied them to fill a part of the zuihou Luo Bu hemp, and Junwen also came back, so he asked Jun Wen to take the four people to put the haode Luo Bu Ma into the warehouse.

After doing this, Qiu Chen also smiled and asked the four people if they wanted wild vegetables, and the four of them all shook their heads with a smile, and Qiu Chen was not reluctant and sent them out.

Lan Ying walked in Zuihou and explained to Qiu Chen: "In the morning, your uncle asked me to tell you that it turns out that our two families have always used one yard, and we will use it together this year." You don't have to worry about the pressure or anything! ”

Qiu Chen suddenly agreed, smiled and agreed, and said, "Cheng, I'm still waiting for Qing ready-made." However, Sister Lan Ying, you go back and tell Uncle Dachuan and Brother Manchu that we have a car and a horse this year, and I have no use for the past few days. ”

Lan Ying hurriedly responded with a smile. In previous years, there were no big animals in the family, and they were all borrowed from other people's homes. The people's livestock really can't be replaced, so they have to rely on manpower. Pressing, beating, transporting wheat...... These jobs are very different with livestock. What's more, the Lin family's horses and carts are particularly good, much stronger than other cows and donkeys.

After sending these people away, Qiu Chen asked Junwen to count the amount of Luo Buma, because with the Luo Bu Ma purchased by the Mura Zheng family, the quantity of this batch of Luo Bu Ma has increased a lot, and a total of 1,236 catties have been obtained. According to the original price, a total of three hundred and seventy taels of silver can be obtained, and after deducting the cost of forty-two taels of silver spent yesterday, and the labor cost is about twelve taels of silver, a profit of three hundred and eighteen taels of silver can be made. Coupled with the profits from the previous sale of a batch of Luo Buma, as well as the money for healing medicine, removing the one that Yang Shu Meng Junwen took away and gave to Yang Shuyong, these days are almost exactly two thousand taels of silver.

Two thousand taels of silver, it is not a lot of money to stay in a wealthy family, but if you want to do something in Anping County or Anyang Mansion, it should be enough.

After the pharmaceutical speculation was completely stopped, the family became idle.

At the end of the day, Qiu Chen started to make lunch. There was still some cooked meat left over from yesterday, heated it up, and burned a spinach egg and a sea rice boiled rape. When Qiu Chen went to the vegetable garden to pull vegetables, he looked at the nearly one-foot-tall pepper seedlings crowded next to each other, and suddenly remembered one thing, it seems that vegetables such as chili eggplants are raised first and then transplanted. When transplanting, three or four trees are planted together for a mound, and the reason why they are planted in this way is also to ensure the survival rate.

Qiu Chen looked at the peppers he planted at home, since he sprinkled the seeds, he has been watering and fertilizing, and the growth is good, but because it is too dense, some plants only grow tall, not thick, looking slender, I am afraid that such plants will not produce peppers.

Qiu Chen was anxious, but looking at the scorching sun overhead, he had to give up for the time being. Plant transplantation also takes morning and evening, or rainy and cloudy days, such a scorching sun transplant, even if it is planted, it will not survive.

Patting her head, Qiu Chen sighed, she has a specialization in the art industry, and she just takes it for granted to do things, which is really not good. Fortunately, she remembered this in a flash of inspiration at this time, otherwise, when the pepper plants grew up in autumn and could not bear peppers, she would have been too late to cry. This time she was lucky to be able to run into chili peppers in the spice shop, and no one can say when there will be a chance for this kind of luck to explode next time.

Thinking in his heart, for fear that he would forget it again, Qiu Chen greeted the five children, as well as Lao He and Liu Sanhe, for lunch.

Qiu Chen told Liu Sanhe what Lan Ying had confessed, and asked Liu Sanhe to go to Lan Ying's house after dinner to ask if there was any work that needed to be called for a car and horses, so he would come back and call someone and set up a car.

Liu Sanhe still looks a little lazy, but because of his good food, he is no longer hungry and full, and his complexion is obviously much better. In addition, Qiu Chen made clothes for the helpers, and did not deviate from Lao He and Liu Sanhe, and also made a blue and cyan three-shuttle cloth single dress for the two of them, which was worn on the body, although it was still not much more productive, but it was much stronger than the ragged clothes that he couldn't see the color on his original body. It's a little human.

Liu Sanhe responded with a smile. Satisfied, he ate two steamed buns and drank a bowl of soup, wiped his mouth and stood up: "I'll go to Manho's house and ask, I'll come back and tell you what's wrong." ”

Qiu Chen waved his hand: "Go, go, go!" ”

Liu Sanhe dragged on.

Lao He ate little, but ate slowly, at this time he was drinking slowly with a bowl of soup, turning his head to see Liu Sanhe go out of the distance, Lao He sighed and said: "Brother Sanhe is actually not bad, but there is a little problem...... If so, if you can start a family and find an aunt to manage you, you can also live a good life! ”

Qiu Chen didn't have anything to say to Liu Sanhe, and nodded casually: "That's what I said, but his reputation has spread, and I want to find an aunt...... How easy it is! ”

Lao He also nodded: "It's also ......"

After lunch, Qiu Chen pulled Junyan Junzhang Afu Aman to take a nap on the kang. She took out the clothes that the family had changed from yesterday, walked out of the courtyard gate, and found a small shade under a relatively lush weeping willow outside the courtyard gate, put down the big basin and small bench, and carried a bucket down the stone steps to carry water.

Although the pond is alive water, after all, it is a lotus root to raise fish, and the soap liquid pollutes the water source, which is definitely not good. Qiu Chen brought water and washed it in the shade of the trees by the pond, and the dirty water splashed on the blue brick road at the door. The green brick road draft, splashing some water on such a scorching day can also play a role in dust removal and cooling. There is no way, there is no special sewer system here, and Qiu Chen can only comfort himself like this.

In the morning, the grass cut back in the sun has been left in the sun for noon, and it has been half-dried, and then take it to the pond to soak it, and the semi-dry grass stalks will become more flexible, so that the grass will be stronger and more durable. Junwen didn't sleep either, and accompanied his aunt, moved a long stool out, and after holding the half-dried vine grass to soak it, he sat under a small tree not far from Qiu Chen and began to rub the grass.

Qiu Chen didn't understand this, he just watched Junwen turn the bench on its side and put it down, he sat on the stool leg at one end, and the stool leg at the other end became a tool to fix the straw rope.

Junwen's flexible wisp of vine grass was fixed around the legs of the stool, and as soon as he used his two hands, the two ends of a wisp of vine grass were entangled together, forming a piece of grass. Rub two handfuls, a wisp of vine grass is almost over, Junwen will draw two more wisps of vine grass, respectively at the end of the previous vine grass, and then rub hard, the junction of the new and old vine grass will be wound together almost without a trace.

"Hey, won't the two ends be strong when they are connected together?" Qiu Chen couldn't help but ask.

Junwen was stunned and said with a smile: "Auntie, at home, I heard my grandparents say that you didn't do farm work before you got married, and I didn't believe it at first, but it's really true to hear you say this...... Oh, although this grass is connected, but the joint is not in one place, and the previous and later connected are all on the strength, one by one, broken elsewhere, here is not necessarily broken, strong! ”

As he spoke, Junwen had already finished rubbing a piece of grass. Grass rope is actually a straw rope, which is used by farmers to tie things.

Junwen's grass is about one meter two or three, almost three wisps of vine grass rubbed one, zuihou at the end of the finger at will, tied a button, a smooth and sturdy grass about complete.

Junwen smiled and handed the grass to Qiu Chen, and Qiu Chen took it and held it in his palm.

Because the vine grass is fresh, the grass is still beautiful grass green, and the two strands of vine grass are twisted together smoothly and orderly, smooth and delicate, not as prickly as Qiu Chen imagined. She followed the grass yoko to find the slightly thick joint, grabbed the two ends with both hands and tugged hard, ho, don't say, it's really quite strong, she used all her strength, and the joint of the grass yoko is still intact.

Junwen looked at the joint of his aunt Shiyan Kusaoko, shook his head with a smile, and continued to rub his head down.

Qiu Chen tried it, but he felt a little embarrassed afterwards, handed the straw rope back, and lowered his head to wash his clothes.

"I don't know if your father started to fry Luo Buma after he came home!" Washing and washing clothes, Qiu Chen couldn't help but think of his eldest brother Yang Junyong, and then thought of Yang Shumeng, Lin Xu, and Junshu, "Junshu and Brother Xu don't know if they have arrived, why don't they have a letter yet!" It's been more than ten days, and if it goes well, at least it should be in Huairong! ”

Saying this, it also aroused Junwen's worries.

"Auntie, we haven't been to town for a few days, maybe, there is a letter now......" Junwen said Ai Ai.

When he said this, Qiu Chen couldn't help but laugh: "How many days, didn't you go grocery shopping yesterday morning?" ”

Junwen was reminded by Qiu Chenyi and also woke up, and those who waited always felt that time passed slowly.

However, Junwen's words still reminded Qiu Chen: "It's okay, I'll ask Brother Manchu later, if they don't need a carriage this afternoon, if not, let's just send Luo Buma over." ”

When Junwen heard this, he immediately agreed: "Hey, I'll go and ask!" ”

After saying that, he dropped the half-rubbed grass in his hand, pulled his feet and ran to Manchu's house, and when he ran halfway to meet Liu Sanhe coming out of Manho's house, Junwen asked twice, and without waiting for Liu Sanhe, he turned around and ran back.

"Auntie, Brother Man Ho doesn't need a carriage in the afternoon. Let's go! ”

Looking at Junwen with an eager face, Qiu Chen couldn't help but feel a little sad. These days, although Junwen didn't say anything, he was afraid that he was more worried than her. It's really hard for this kid.

Qiu Chen nodded and came down: "Okay, hurry up, I'll finish washing these two clothes, Junyan and a few of them should wake up, just go." ”

As soon as Junwen heard Qiu Chen say this, he realized that he was too anxious, scratched his head and smiled, sat back down, and began to rub the draft.

"Junwen, don't worry too much about your second uncle and Junshu, didn't you say that the caravan was smooth and smooth, and there would be no message back on the way. We haven't received any letters, doesn't that mean they have had a smooth journey? Qiu Chen comforted Junwen while washing his clothes.

Liu Sanhe said hello from afar, and didn't go this way, and returned to Manho's house. It is said that it is to clean up the field, pull the grass and level it, and then press the field when it is finished.

After washing his clothes, Qiu Chen suddenly remembered something, it seemed that he had heard Lan Ying say before, originally they were all playing in the depression in front of the Lin family, but now this piece was bought by the Lin family and dug into a pond, so where did the field go?

Qiu Chen splashed the dirty water, wiped his hands, and walked towards Manchu's house.

The depression was occupied by the Lin family, but the east of the Lin family was still empty, a few days ago, when Yang Shuyong was there, he took the time to set a carriage to pull the soil, and now he has almost padd the potholes and uneven slopes. Originally, Yang Shuyong planned to plant some mung beans or something like that, but after autumn, he didn't delay the yard and built a house after harvesting mung beans.

At this time, the matter of using the field is imminent, so let's use it first. Let's talk about planting mung beans after the fight.
