"Guo Xiaosi, come here!"

Zhang Shiping hooked his fingers, in exchange for a squad leader, he whispered a few times in his ear.

Guo Xiaosi is short, but he has a horse face, and even has a lot of freckles on his face.

It is precisely because he is the shortest among the squad leaders that he has the name of this little four, as for his real name, no one knows - he is a beggar.

……

The inner countryside is mountainous, and when Zhu Cijiong promoted sweet potato pumpkins, the most were planted here.

That is, big families like the Zhang family and the Li family have such courage. Where do ordinary people dare to waste the land that is not enough to produce food to grow fresh things!

It is precisely because they dare not try new species that the lives of the people in the mountainous areas are tight, and even, at the end of the year, that is, during the New Year, they can only have two dry meals.

The battle on the Bauhinia Pass did not attract the attention of the people.

Even if those bannermen in the imperial court are brutal and kill people at every turn, have they ever raided their homes?

In addition to the food that needs to be locked, which family's door will be locked?

The furniture in the whole house is not worth a lock yet!

Even, iron pots have appeared for hundreds of years, and the people here, except for those landlords, who is not cooking a broken crockpot?

There are few fields, less output, and most of the grain is mixed with wild vegetables, which is not enough to eat, so how can it be sold for money?

The people squatted aside, waiting for these new strangely dressed military masters to leave early......

The broken weapons scattered on the battlefield, if you pick them up, you can still find a blacksmith to make an heirloom!

If anyone turns out two silver beans from a dead body, then one is called a big profit......

Everyone squatted not far away, and watched as the rebel soldiers asked the people in the town to come out and identify them, and then selected the surrendered green battalion into two waves, one group of people tied their hands and rushed to the west, but the other group of people was driven to the side.

Everyone was in a hurry, for fear that it would be too late and the good things would be snatched away.

Suddenly, there was a table, placed under the archway of Bauhinia Pass, and I saw that the young official who was not talking directly climbed onto the table and stood high.

He held a large tin horn rolled up in iron sheets:

"Old and young masters, you have listened carefully, if anyone listens carefully, and the answer is correct later, I will reward him with a hundred catties of grain."

Reward a hundred pounds of grain?

It can't be stupid!

The people looked at each other.

And the man at the table yelled again:

"I know you don't believe me, so to tell you, I am the sister-in-law of Baishui Zhang, and if I say Baishui Zhang, it will be a mouthful of foam and a nail!"

White Water Zhang?

Everyone's eyes lit up.

This is the number one clan on their side of Nanyang!

I heard that at the end of the year, when each branch goes to the master's house to reconcile the account books, it is like rushing to the market!

And this person said that he was the son-in-law of the Zhang family?

Oh my God, this is a golden spoon in its mouth......

When Zhang Shiping saw everyone's reaction, he knew that he had already moved the people around him.

He smiled and continued to roar: "You are all closer, so far away, I will be dumb later, you can't afford to pay for it!" ”

"Hahaha!"

When everyone saw that Zhang Shiping said something interesting, they immediately burst into laughter.

Immediately, someone moved forward, and after seeing someone move, it didn't take long for everyone to come to Zhang Shiping a foot away.

If it weren't for the soldiers in front of me, I am afraid that they would have squatted under the table a long time ago.

Nanyang people love to squat, and even the elderly in the countryside don't sit on a stool when eating, but squat in the corner with a bowl to eat.

Guo Xiaosi had already ridden two bags of sweet potatoes, and there was even a convoy behind him to deliver them here.

Some soldiers set up a cauldron in the army, and some soldiers lit a bonfire.

The soldiers were busy, washing the sweet potatoes with clean water, then chopping them into pieces and throwing them directly into the pot to cook.

There are also people roasting sweet potatoes around the fire.

Zhang Shiping saw that everyone was attracted by the strange behavior of the soldiers, and chuckled:

"This thing is called sweet potato, this is what my family planted this year, and it tastes very sweet."

In the crowd, I don't know where a sycophant came: "It's still the Zhang family, this sweet potato, we haven't seen it yet!" ”

Someone slapped his forehead suddenly: "Young Master Zhang, isn't this the seedling you let us plant in the spring?" ”

It seems that that thing is called sweet potato seedling?

"Yes!"

Zhang Shiping nodded: "I'll give you this thing later, as for the taste, you'll know later!" ”

When he saw that the arrangement was in order, he didn't delay any longer, and said directly: "Is the land in our inner countryside enough for us to eat?" ”

"Where's enough!" Someone laughed: "Young Master Zhang's family has a big business, naturally the full man does not know the hungry man, the cultivated land in our inner township is only one million mu, where is there enough land!" ”

Zhang Shiping nodded, his brother is the classic history of Neixiang, he naturally knows that there are more than 300,000 people in Neixiang County, and such a little arable land is naturally not enough.

"Okay, I'll reward you with a hundred catties of sweet potatoes!"

Zhang Shiping immediately pointed out the first lucky audience.

"Really...... It's true? ”

The man immediately shuddered.

Although he didn't know if this sweet potato was delicious or not, no matter how unpalatable it was, his teeth were not food!

"Naturally it's true, when did I Bai Shui Zhang deceive someone?" Zhang Shiping chuckled.

This side of the inner countryside is a mountainous area, and His Highness said that he should recruit 3,000 soldiers, and he decided to exceed the quota himself!

Since it is a recruitment, it is natural to make the other party rush to it.

And what could be more attractive to the people than food?

Especially in the mountains where there is not enough to eat.

Zhang Shiping felt that if the movement he made was big enough, he was afraid that the people over there in Yunyang would come over!

"Guo Xiaosi, weigh him a hundred catties of sweet potatoes!"

Guo Xiaosi smiled, and immediately walked over with a bag of sweet potatoes: "Old man, this is yours!" ”

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, you are all good people!"

The old farmer who really got the grain was so moved that his eyes were red.

What a good man, no one has yet offered to give them food!

Zhang Shiping smiled and continued: "I ask you, which of you will strike iron? ”

"I ......"

A thin man with a large skeleton with deep eye sockets stood up: "I have studied for three months, and I will know a little, but the master dislikes me for eating too much, so don't let me ......"

"Zhao Donkey Dan, do you call it iron? The hoe you hit won't even ...... turn"

Someone immediately pierced Zhao Donkey's words.

"I will, my master just didn't teach me to turn, the master said that I have a lot of strength, and wrought iron is the best, that is...... I ate too much, master...... Master, don't let me ......"
