Chapter 123: Entering the South of the Island

Then turn your gaze back to the big man who is also in wheat harvest mode.

Unlike the Dutch, who cultivated sugarcane on their own turf, Zheng did not have a large sugarcane plantation in his territory, and more rice was grown here. This is also the reason why Zheng Zhilong chose to continue negotiations with the Dutch.

After harvesting the rice, it's not too late to go to war.

What's more, the new army of Taoyuan's brigade also has to help military families collect food.

This is the most basic benefit for military families who have relatives who have joined the military.

Even if there is no army to help military families harvest food, the local government will organize surplus labor in the vicinity to help.

In Zheng's new regulations, whether local military and political officials can satisfy the families of military families and martyrs will be an important part of their job evaluation.

Zheng Zhilong also started the journey of showing off in person.

With a hat and a towel around his neck, he bent down to cut the rice, grabbed the middle of the rice with his left hand, and held a shiny sickle in his right hand. At first, the entire golden ears of rice were gone, and the paddy fields revealed neat stakes in the scythe.

It's really interesting to see that it's quite skillful!

In ancient times, the emperor had to support the plough on the second day of February to 'plough' to show his importance on agriculture and give birth to the first agricultural ceremony; the queen had to lead all the concubines to worship the silkworm god and concubine, and to pick mulberry and feed silkworms, so as to encourage the people to be diligent in weaving, which is called the silkworm ceremony.

Kang Mazi even sowed several paddy fields in Fengze Garden, from sowing, transplanting, field management, to harvesting, he had to personally come to inquire about it, in order to show that he attached importance to agriculture.

Zheng Zhilong is now personally cutting rice in the field, which is looking like an example for show.

It's just that he is also putting on a show, and the way Zheng Zhilong chooses will cost more money. People are operating in paddy fields, barefoot, bent over, covered with sweat all the time, and if your vision is blurred or distracted for a while, the sharp sickle may kiss your hand, but it will not spare you because your name is Zheng Zhilong.

Zheng Zhilong's own several scars on his hands are not left by his years of hard work in the waves, they are all medals left by him cutting rice in the early years, and they are still clear.

This is also the root of his ability to do decent farm work after changing the core.

In addition, due to the countless times of rubbing the hands soaked in water with the rough grass stems, in the first few days, the fingers would often be grinded, grinding out blood and stinging from time to time, and from time to time they would be pierced by the tips of the grass leaves, and there would be a pain in the heart. But he has been pampered all these years, and his fingers have long since lost the calluses of the year.

Near noon, the sun was like fire, the water in the rice fields was hot, standing in the airtight rice fields, it was even hotter at this time, and people were out of breath. At this time, some children covered in mud like mud monkeys jumped into the nearby river pond with a "poof". In this way, you can feel a little cool.

Wiping a handful of sweat, Chen Dingdu couldn't care about decency, picked up the scoop and poured half a scoop of sour plum soup from the cold pot, and drank it all. The cold sour plum soup fell into the stomach, refreshing the heart, like nectar sprinkled on the heart, and the whole person came back to life.

The cold kettle was put back into the wooden barrel, and half a bucket of ice cubes was inside, and when it was opened, a cool air rushed out, which was called a cool. The ice cubes are large and small, and they are all made of saltpeter.

Zheng Zhilong was also sweating hot, and he was even more tired that his back hurt, but he seemed to fall in love with this feeling of sweating like pulp, running every day. Sometimes they even have a meal in a nearby village. Chen Ding was a little overwhelmed with his buttocks, and Zheng Zhilong was still in good spirits.

What's the hard work?

These paddy fields are Zheng Jun's rations, and the joyful smiles on the faces of the people are Zheng Jun's popular will.

He is now slumping down to the immigrants, and every drop of sweat he puts in will be rewarded tenfold, hundredfold, and thousandfold in the future.

What has become of his evaluation of immigrants after watching the show in the past few days?

An approachable leader, that's what the common people love to see. Zheng Zhilong can't be approachable to the backbone of the group under him, but he can show his affection to these immigrants, because the distance between the former is too close, and the distance between the latter is too far.

The same is approachable, and people who are too close are likely to have the ambition of "I can take my place"; And the people who are far away just think that this boss is better and more intimate.

Ten days later, it was the end of June, and the farm was finally over, and a strong storm had swept in. This summer is a time of many typhoons.

"Don't worry. Zheng Tai is not a mediocre person, and although the data collected by various towns may not be true, it is generally not wrong. Chen Ding said a good word to Zheng Tai.

Zheng Zhilong put the entire Zheng Clan's territory in Dayuan into a governor's mansion, and the governor's mansion was subordinate to twelve towns, and under each town there were a dozen to dozens of villages of different sizes, and it was very difficult to accurately count the specific amount of grain. There will be deception in future generations, let alone the current era?

But as Chen Ding said, it is generally not wrong.

That's actually enough.

"When the water is clear, there are no fish, and when people are observed, there are no fugitives. I get the idea. ”

After a political group changes from an opposition party to a ruling party, it will inevitably face many problems, corruption is one of them, and Dongfanghong hoped to make an example by severely punishing Liu and Zhang, so as not to repeat the mistakes of Li Zicheng. But in reality?

It turns out that China's ancient land has a high tolerance for corruption.

Just like what Zheng Tai did, in Chen Ding's mouth, it is a 'generally infallible', then it is already the way of the Qingming world. Especially compared to the Ming at this time.

The monstrous storm roared, like an evil devil, tearing the whole world with impunity.

The cloudless sky darkened suddenly. The branches and leaves of the tree swayed in the wind, like a huge palm shaking him violently. The storm poured down like a waterfall, and the wind stirred the rain and water together, crackling like a dense bullet!

But no matter how violent the storm is, there is a time when it passes.

When the rain passed, when the sound of war drums and trumpets sounded the whole Taoyuan, a group of new troops gathered under the banner of Zheng Zi.

Delayed by the summer harvest and the storm, Zheng's new army officially issued a clarion call to go south.

At the same time, Guo Huaiyi took the batch of muskets that had just been delivered, and stroked the tiger squat cannon that was blooming with a blue-black luster in front of him, as well as the buckets of medicinal powder and boxes of wooden-shelled grenades, and his face was full of endless radiance......

"Brother Yiguan has a heart, a heart." Standing next to Guo Huaiyi were He Bin and Zheng Lian, and the two of them slipped away after receiving the letter sent by Zheng Zhilong. He Bin only brought a small number of people to Jialuo Village, and the rest of his relatives and friends were thrown to the Dutch.

"Here are more than two hundred guns. You selected 200 people from your subordinates to get guns, and together with the 200 new troops who came together, as well as tiger squat cannons and so many grenades, even if the red hair entered Jialuo Village, it would not be pleased. ”

Penghu was instructed by Zheng Zhilong, who had been under the same time as He Bin and Zheng Lian, to immediately make the fast boat, far around the south of the island, draw an arc, enter Errenxi from the southwest, and send a large number of swords, guns, cold weapons and some hot weapons in the night, as well as 200 Zheng's new army from Taoyuan. Then these material populations all entered the Jialuo Village where Guo Huaiyi was located before dawn.
