In the hottest part of summer, the wheat fields in Shanhai County are ripening and harvesting one after another.

The people of Nongsang Division organized people to harvest, and Wang Lanling and those who usually carried guns were also busy in the fields with sickles and hats, and they were mainly doing something for those who died in battle, taking care of their fields and families.

Some things cannot be forgotten, the stone monument that Wang Lanling erected there in Heishui County has been broken, and it has been broken from the roots.

This time, Wang Lanling did not erect a monument, but commemorated the people who died in the original defense war as a festival.

The output of these fields for the next twenty years will be passed on to the descendants of those people.

Wang Lanling also went to the field and interned in school, but he didn't want to really be unable to distinguish between wheat seedlings and weeds.

Also working nearby were Hu Zhong and others.

Although Hu Zhong is a herdsman, the herdsmen also know how to farm, otherwise they will not be able to eat enough just by relying on cattle and sheep dairy products.

There is also a lot of land to cultivate near the grasslands of this world, and it is not so inhospitable that only grass grows, so most herders will also farm.

Animal husbandry is too unstable, if a few decades ago it could rely on plundering the grain of the farming people to fill its stomach, then in recent decades, it has basically been farming by itself.

Gradually, most herders disembarked from their horses and adopted both farming and nomadic methods for food.

If it weren't for the control of horse bandits and the imperial court, and the trouble caused by trade problems caused by factors such as the lack of value of grain, these people could easily become part of the farming people.

Farming is more stable than grazing, but where there are people, it is difficult to integrate, and aliens are still very discriminated against in this era.

This kind of discrimination can be said to not treat others as human beings, and it is a bit extreme in many places.

What Wang Lanling hopes is that everyone can understand each other, throw away bad habits together, no matter what color hair and appearance characteristics, work hard together to build a harmonious society.

"My generation has basically gone to the ground and worked, so we don't know what will happen to the next generation."

While harvesting wheat, Wang Lanling was talking to Hu Zhong, who was a meter and a half away.

Hu Zhong rubbed the sweat on his forehead with his arm, slowly straightened his waist, and looked at a few children on the ridge in the distance, and a dark-skinned woman.

"My lord, let's just work, there's no need to let Miss Gongzi and them come to the field too, it's very sunny here."

Wang Lanling also took a little rest, looking at the adults and children who were busy harvesting wheat in the distance, as well as the adults and children who were helping in the fields, and the duck herders who were driving the ducks to look for pellets and insects in the harvested fields one after another.

"It's okay, they can't help much, just come here to play, it's good to familiarize yourself with things here, I haven't been on the ground when I'm like they're my age."

Wang Lanling looked at those children, none of them thought about working, either they were holding small sticks to play with insects, or they were curious about butterflies and moths and ducks in the distance.

Or, it's just squatting where food and drinks are put and eating quietly.

Hu Zhong persuaded him: "Several young ladies are still young, and they can't help in the fields, and there is no benefit to staying here except for the sunburn, so it's good to let them go home and study." ”

Wang Lanling looked at the wheat field more than ten meters long in front of him, exhaled and said, "Rest and drink some wine." ”

Hu Zhong threw aside the sickle in his hand, and the men were responsible for cutting, while the rest were responsible for carrying the piles of wheat stalks they had thrown on the ground.

On the road on both sides of the ridge, the carts were being pulled by dark-skinned drivers and drove towards the village in the distance.

There are no harvesters, no threshing machines, everything is by hand.

Wang Lanling and Hu Zhong walked to the ridge together, where there was an iron bucket with a faucet at the bottom of the bucket, and mung bean water would flow down if it was twisted slightly.

To prevent clogging, there is a filtered grate on the bottom floor, and only the soup can settle down.

Although you can't eat beans, it's okay to drink some water.

There are also some dried sweet potatoes and salted radishes next to it, which are not only here in Wang Lanling, but also have one in a few acres of land.

Ah Luo was eating with Ji Ya on the side, and the two of them were eating small tomatoes taken from the Immortal Water Palace.

There was a vegetable basket next to it, which was filled with fruits from the vegetable garden of the Xianshui Palace, and Zhao Wenrou made a vegetable garden by himself, specifically to provide fresh vegetables for Wang Lanling and a few children.

Most of the vegetables here are vegetables and fruits with insects, and Zhao Wenrou felt that it was not good, so he did it himself.

Wang Lanling was also considered to be stained, so he took a washed tomato and threw it to Hu Zhong at this time, and picked up a tomato himself and took a bite.

"Well, it's delicious, tomatoes are still delicious raw."

Wang Lanling swallowed the tomato in his mouth and sat on the ground looking at the wheat field in the distance.

Hu Zhong also took a bite, and then said, "There is no such strange thing here, how is this thing grown?" It's also a little too small. ”

Wang Lanling smiled, "Now I'm going to ask those people in Nongsangsi, this tomato is delicious, right?" I plan to build a vegetable base in our county in the future, so that everyone can buy tomatoes at a very cheap price, and everyone can eat them as long as they want to. ”

Hu Zhong said: "Adults always have some special ideas, if I want to do good deeds to others, at most I will send some money, and I don't think too much about the rest." ”

Wang Lanling didn't reply, but looked at Ji Ya and A Luo, who were eating quietly, "Ah Luo, why are you so quiet?" ”

Hearing Daddy's question, Ah Luo quickly said: "Daddy, Sister Ji Ya told me, our dog won't bite me, other people's big dogs will bite me!" ”

Wang Lanling smiled, really couldn't understand Xiao Aluo's thoughts, "Well, that's right, it's true, Aluo must be careful, that's why you're so quiet?" ”

Arlo shook her head, "No, I'm planting wheat." ”

Wang Lanling looked at Ah Luo's body, the little guy was digging something with a small branch.

"Well, okay, come on!" Wang Lanling encouraged, and looked at Ji Ya again, "Ji Ya, don't eat too much, otherwise your stomach will hurt, take it back and eat it when you go home, no one will rob you." ”

Ji Ya nodded quickly, "Okay, big man!" ”

Wang Lanling looked at the other children who were chasing and fighting with each other, Rengui and Boyan each took a younger brother and played a game of war in the field.

"The person who Gong Yueman said went up the mountain and went to the countryside, I supported it, and I didn't even stay at the grassroots level, how can we expect those people to understand us?"

When Hu Zhong heard Wang Lanling say this, he said, "How many little sons are you exercising?" ”

Wang Lanling shook his head, "What can they understand now?" Forget about it after a few days. There was no particular reason for bringing them here, but I saw other people's children helping in the fields, so I brought them here. ”

Xiao Aluo raised her head and looked at Wang Lanling with big eyes, "Daddy, are you talking about me?" ”

Wang Lanling laughed, "Mmmmmm, Ah Luo continue to play, Daddy, I'll drink some more saliva and go to work, and I'll take you home when I'm done." ”

"Oh......" Arlo understood, and continued to bury the scattered ears of wheat in the ground in front of her.

After Wang Lanling and Hu Zhong sat for a few more minutes, they stood up and continued their work.

This field is a meritorious place for the people of Heishui County who died in the counterattack, and it is up to them, who enjoy the fruits of victory, to do something for these dead people.

The people in the nearby fields are all the kind of people who are strong and strong, not only Wang Lanling, but also young people like Hu Santu and Tian Buxing, who are also people who have farmed the land.

There were no harvesters, only a steady stream of new sickles from the ironworks.

For ordinary countrymen, these new sickles are the best kind of funding, so they have to take turns to work with one sickle, which greatly improves the efficiency of harvesting!

Scythes are not free, and women and children can help cook and wash vegetables and clothes in the cafeteria for a day, or help clean up the wheat stacks in other people's fields, and can change their men into new farm tools.
