Chapter 6: Ambition in Troubled Times

Barracks.

After dinner, I counted the combat power of the past few days, but yesterday I was drunk because of the invitation of Taishou, and I didn't have time to count the harvest.

Reputation +40, Gold +100, War Horse +116, Lance +88, Saber +46, Leather Armor +10, Random Crop +1. (This is just the data displayed by the system, for ease of understanding, the physical object is in the warehouse, stable, etc.)

"Huh! What is that random crop in the system, how did I not see it. ”

"Ding, does the host use a random crop?"

"Yes!"

"Ding, congratulations to the host for getting 100 catties of sweet potatoes." As soon as the prompt sounded, two hemp bags suddenly appeared out of thin air in the barracks, all of which contained sweet potatoes.

"! Damn, it's developed now! Zhang Zhen's eyes are round stool, sweet potatoes are a good baby, in the troubled times of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, what can be more affordable than food.

Sweet potatoes are barren and thin, and the soil requirements are not strict. It is rich in nutrients, starches, sugars, proteins, vitamins, fiber, and various amino acids.

Zhang Zhen tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep, thinking about it back and forth, and finally made up his mind to go to Taishou Mansion tomorrow morning.

......

Taishou House.

"Report, my lord, the captain of the broken slave asks to see you."

"Oh? Go and invite him in. Geng Lin hurriedly put down the government affairs in his hands.

"The last general, meet Lord Taishou."

"Feilu doesn't have to be polite, I don't know what happened?"

"My lord, there will be a reluctant request in the end, and I hope that my lord will fulfill it." Zhang Zhen hurriedly bowed.

"Oh? The heron is so urgent, why not talk about it carefully. ”

"The last general, the clan land Linshui Village was slaughtered by Goguryeo, and now Lord Taishou will use troops against him in the near future, and he will definitely break the thief city, and there will be no worries about the future. The last general is willing to put a field in Linshui Village, collect the remains, and build a family temple to calm the souls of his father and his clansmen. I hope that the adults will be fulfilled. "Before the first year of Zhongping, in order to develop his own power, Zhang Zhensi thought about it and thought about it, and there was only one way at present, after having sweet potatoes, he didn't have to worry about food problems, he could reclaim wasteland in Linshui Village, recruit displaced people, and train the army.

Geng Lin praised: "The future life is terrifying! Teach the people to be loving, and don't be good at filial piety. The gentleman's affairs are filial piety, so loyalty can be transferred to the king. ”

"My lord, Miaozan."

Geng Lin waved his hand: "Don't be too modest, such a trivial matter, later you take my warrant to Hu Cao, don't you have an uncle?" Let him temporarily replace the three elders of Linshui Village and educate the villagers. "Since there is such a good opportunity to win over Zhang Zhen, I naturally will not let it go.

"Thank you, sir." Zhang Zhen didn't expect it to be so easy, and he was going to buy the land in Linshui Village with 100 gold, which was also saved.

Out of the Taishou Mansion, obtain the relevant documents from the household officials.

By the way, he bought 50 gold and 1,500 stone (1 stone = 120 catties) in the market, and selected 100 slaves, half of men and half of men, who were in their twenties and thirties, and were in the prime of life. Most of them were ruined, and some of them had no food and signed a slave contract in exchange for some money and food, which cost 30 gold.

Before leaving, he did not forget to tell Liu Yi to go to Linshui Village with the slave grain and grass.

Hurried back to the village to tell my uncle the news. Zhang Zhenke can't afford to wait, it's early spring, so he has to plant the sweet potatoes quickly.

On the way, the villagers greeted each other.

"Uncle, hurry up and pack your things and go with me." When he arrived outside the house, Zhang Zhen's impatient urging sounded.

A sturdy man came out of the house. Laughing and laughing, "Hahaha!" Good boy, my uncle has not seen you for two days and has made such a great name. I heard that Old Ghost Liu said that you are favored by Lord Taishou, and you have become a broken slave captain. ”

Zhang Zhen interrupted: "Uncle, after this matter, I will talk to you slowly." Then tell my uncle what I said to Master Taishou.

"In that case, I'm also an official. Hey. Zhang Kuihan smiled: "Even if you kid has a conscience, I'm afraid that this is Lord Taishou's intention to win you over." ”

"That's exactly what I mean, but it doesn't hurt to do it now, and being able to follow Lord Taishou to exterminate Goguryeo can be regarded as avenging my father's clan."

"Hmmm! It's a blessing for you to be chosen by Lord Taishou. ”

Zhang Kui packed up some belongings, and the two rode towards Linshui Village.

......

Early February.

Logging and building houses, reclaiming wasteland, after a few days of arrangement, everything went smoothly.

Teach my uncle basic agricultural knowledge such as sweet potato seedling, planting, and fertilization.

I am still relatively confident in Zhang Kui's management of Linshui Village.

Name: Zhang Kui (Zhang Zhen)

Official position: Three elders

Brawn: 56 (Civilian: 30)

Gambit: 43 (Civilian: 30)

Commander: 47 (Civilian: 30)

Politics: 45 (Civilian: 30)

Loyalty: 100

Although this attribute may not seem like a stream, it is more than enough to manage a village.

The yield of sweet potato is also particularly impressive, and it is normal for the yield of sweet potato to yield 5 or 6 thousand catties per mu in the previous life, and it will not be less than 1,000 catties at least in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. What the war wants is food, so Zhang Zhen attaches great importance to food.

"Uncle, now that the village is on the right track, I will also go to Taishou Mansion to restore my life. There can be no more delay, and Linshui Village will rely on its uncle to reclaim 1,000 acres of wasteland this spring. Zhang Zhen wore leather armor and said goodbye to his uncle at the entrance of the village.

"Uncle knows that this journey is difficult and dangerous, so be very careful, although Goguryeo thinks it is fish on the chopping board, and it won't last for a few days, if you can't do anything, remember to save your life." Zhang Kui instructed.

"My nephew understands that there are 1,500 stone of grain in the warehouse for 500 people to eat for a year, and my uncle can recruit the homeless people in order to reclaim more wasteland in the coming year." Zhang Zhen reminded many times to recruit displaced people.

"Although you said that this sweet potato can yield thousands of catties per mu, my uncle was also quite shocked, but no one knows, no one has tried it again, the roasted sweet potato that day tasted really delicious, if the yield is so amazing, I believe there will not be so many homeless people in Xuanwu County." Zhang Kui was full of emotion.

"Uncle, you can train them to ride and shoot when you have free time, and there are already a hundred horses available in the stables. If you encounter a thief again, you will also have the power to fight. Although Zhang Zhen meant to defend against thieves, he had already thought about it and prepared for the expansion of his territory in the future. When you think about recruiting for two years, not all of them are elite soldiers who can ride and shoot.

"Uncle can't do anything else, he's still an expert at hunting, don't worry about this, I don't want to see Linshui Village slaughtered again, at least I don't dare to slack off in the slightest in this defense business."

"Da, da, da!" A war horse galloped in.

"Report to the ......, Lord Captain, and keep your lord's urgent orders."

"Oh? Are you going to get started? Zhang Zhen turned over and rode on the tallest green wolf. Maybe it's because of Lingquan's relationship, the green wolf looks mighty, and the rest of the green wolf stays in the animal pen. If such an extraordinary green wolf trains a wolf to ride, the enemy is afraid that he will fall in the wind.

The green wolf and Zhang Zhen have been together for many years, which can be regarded as a heart-to-heart connection! I saw that his legs were slightly forced, and the speed of the green wolf was like the wind, instantly surpassing the herald. Ride the dust.

......

Xuanwu School Field.

Geng Linsheng will be the general, "I just made a detailed report that the civil strife in Goguryeo has started, and I just took advantage of the situation." ”

"Zhang Zhen."

"The end will be."

"Order you to lead 100 cavalry from the headquarters to attack the north gate of Zaoyuan, cut off the back road of Zaoyuan retreat to Buyeo, and at the same time block the road of Buyeo's rescue to the south."

"The last general commands."

"Geng Guan, Shan Ping."

"The end will be."

Geng Guan and Shan Ping came out of the queue and stood tall in the tent.

"You each led 200 elite soldiers of your headquarters as the left and right wings, blocking the route of escape on the east and west sides of Zayuan, and ambushing the fleeing enemy army."

"Yes!"

"The rest of the troops will quickly gather their troops and horses, go out with our army, and go straight to the south gate of Zayuan, and they will definitely annihilate the Goguryeo thieves in one fell swoop."
