Chen Qianli and Zhao Xingde came to a farmland by the Qujiang Pond and saw that the soybean seedlings were lush and green, which had exceeded the height of wheat stubble. Zhao Xingde is a person who does not distinguish between grains and grains, except for the fact that there is a farmland in the bachelor's mansion, which makes him feel quite strange, and he can't see what Chen Qianli said about "interesting". Chen Qianli squatted on the ground with great interest to observe carefully, and from time to time he also inserted branches into the ground, he stood up and said to Zhao Xingde: "Bachelor Xu uses the method of multiple planting of wheat beans, which can be harvested twice a year, and can keep the soil strength without loss, which is really good." If it is extended, Guanzhong is equivalent to creating a large area of land out of thin air, and saving 1100,000 laborers. ”

Zhao Xingde felt slightly strange, Chen Qianli was a training envoy of the Chang'an regiment, how could he care about farming? When he was bored, he suddenly heard someone say in a loud voice: "What about the Song people?" I couldn't help but look up, only to see more than a dozen people walking along the Qujiang Pond, as if arguing about something, just stopped not far away, the person who spoke had a slightly dark face, looked like about thirty, dressed in a thin silk robe, with a jasper pendant hanging on his waist, he looked quite strong, and said loudly from the front: "When I went to the Pingding River and crusaded against Mobei, where was the Song Kingdom?" I have been a soldier for generations, and I have gone to the poor to have the current national situation, so what does it have to do with the Song people? If the world is unified, why let the Song people share the benefits of my Great Xia. ”

Among the few people next to him, some high-fived and praised: "Brother Changyan said very much!" Some shook their heads and said: "The Song court is mediocre, and the people are stupid and cowardly, how can they be treated the same as our courtiers and people!" Someone shouted: "The Kanto region should be disposed of like the former place of Rus." There is also humanity: "The people of Kwantung are governed by our courtiers and people, at least for more than a hundred years." ”

Some people also retorted: "The Song people are of the same origin and the same species as our dynasty, how can they be treated the same as the Hu people." ”

"Otherwise," Shi Ge sneered: "There are more than 60 million people in the Kanto region, if you look at them equally, the Protector Mansion and the Zhuguo Mansion are all Kanto people." Is it my dynasty that took Kanto, or did Kanto annex us? Someone next to him asked: "If you don't let the Kwantung people enter the five mansions, can you get along safely?" Zhang Bocheng shook his head and said: "People's hearts are insufficient, if this is the case, the Kwantung people will make trouble first." Brother Changyan's strategy is really not feasible. ”

Shangguan Cheng shook his head and said: "If this is the case, then this dynasty will definitely lose the hearts of the people in the Kwantung region." How can we achieve long-term peace and stability? Throughout the ages, those who win the hearts of the people win the world. I'm afraid there is no precedent for the imperial court to treat the people everywhere equally, right? ”

"Why is there no precedent?" Shi Ge smiled instead, "After Zhou destroyed Yin Shang, he took the remnants of Yin Shang's land and divided the Zhou clan as princes. Is this the same? He shook his head and said, "Even if it didn't exist in ancient times, can't you do it?" The Qin Dynasty won the world, so the second died to rule the world with a single husband. If I win the world, it will be the people of the five provinces who rule the world. The five mansions are the five mansions of my Xia people, how can they allow the cowardly people in the Kanto region to get involved. Besides, we don't treat the Kwantung people as slaves like the Khitans, but just collect taxes and restrict them from entering the Zhuguo Mansion and the Protectorate Mansion. Seeing that Zhang Bocheng seemed to be about to speak, he preemptively sneered and said: "Brother Zhang's descendants of the founding father, the Kwantung people occupy several positions in the Zhuguo Mansion, so they naturally don't take it to heart." Brother Shangguan's family is wealthy, with thirty-eight jade stores, and he earns a lot of silver money in Kanto every year. I'm afraid I don't care too much about this little bit of good. What I am thinking about is the thousands of ordinary soldiers and people in my Xia country, if the imperial army is facing eastward, the war will continue, the soldiers will shed blood and fight, and the people's blood, sweat, and taxes will be wasted. After the end of the war, he had to pretend to be the same as the Kwantung people. Could it be that the people in the five mansions have been bought by the Kanto merchants? In my opinion, this approach is not as good as even the Liao court, at least Yelu Dashi knows who his countrymen are. ”

Shangguan Cheng, Zhang Bocheng and Shi Ge fought with red faces, Shi Ge fought with one enemy and two enemies, but he did not fall behind at all, although a few people next to him could not interject, but obviously echoed him. At this time, everyone's figures dispersed a little, and in the middle of the crowd, Director Li, the prince of South Korea, saw Zhao Xingde, his face changed slightly, and he said with a sneer: "I just talked about Ross, how did I get to Kanto." Shi Ge smiled and said: "Shangguan Cheng has to say that the Song people are different, I am just responding to the battle." ”

Everyone also noticed Zhao Xingde, and Director Li had to introduce it to everyone: "This is Captain Zhao De of the Jiaorong Army." He also introduced Zhao Xingde: "The centurion of the Iron Bone Army. Zhang Bocheng, the third son of the Duke of Chu. Shangguan Cheng, the eldest son of the head of Shangguan. Then he introduced a few others.

Zhao Xingde gave up his hands to everyone separately, he knew that Shi Ge was just talking about things, and he didn't have much bad feelings towards him. At this time, Chen Qianli also walked over from behind, couldn't help but be stunned, and asked with a smile: "Jing Chu, when did you come to Chang'an, and you didn't come to sit at home?" "His wife Zhang is Zhang Bocheng's second sister, when Chen Qianli accompanied his wife back to his parents' home to save relatives, Zhang Bocheng was still a teenager, although he is a few years older, his appearance has not changed, so Chen Qianli recognized him at a glance.

Zhang Bocheng was a little nervous, and reported: "Sister, brother, the younger brother arrived in Chang'an yesterday, and today Brother Li held a banquet to entertain and introduce some friends. "Except for Director Li, everyone else is a little strange, Zhang Bocheng was born in the northern country, and his temperament is bold enough, why did he suddenly become gentle. The fiefdom of the Duke of Chu is near the West Fort of Shishan Town, and for more than 100 years, the soldiers and civilians of Shishan Tunken have fought countless battles with the nomads of the southern grasslands and the Rus people in the west of Shishan, and it can be said that every inch of land is exchanged for blood. Zhang Bocheng grew up there, so he is naturally not a reserved person. Just now it was Zhang Bocheng who mentioned that there was a faint instability in Rus's hometown, and some princes secretly colluded with Western barbarians in an attempt to expel the Xia forces. Under the discussion of everyone, this brought up the question of how to govern if a large area of land in the Kanto region was captured in the future.

"Okay," Chen Qianli patted him on the shoulder, "Come home for dinner tomorrow." ”

"Yes." Zhang Bocheng bowed. Shi Ge and the others knew that he was a training envoy of the Chang'an regiment, and they also came up to say hello. Chen Qianli said with a smile: "Bachelor Xu has painstakingly studied this kind of field method, and the ingenuity is complete. He sighed and said, "If I am still a captain, I will definitely ask the Protector Mansion to praise Bachelor Xu Pu, compared with the million manpower saved by this method, what a way to be a marquis!" Thinking of this, Chen Qianli's eyes lit up, and he said to Zhao Xingde: "If Brother Zhao goes to the Protector's Mansion to discuss matters, can he ask for a knighthood for Bachelor Xu?" ”

This field by the Qujiang Pond was personally cultivated by the bachelor Xu Fang and a group of students. Xu Fangnai is a farmer in Guanzhong, he mainly focuses on wheat, and has tried to interplant millet, millet, soybeans, red beams, alfalfa, axle grass, wheat and other things, which can make wheat and soybeans multi-cropping to the extent of two crops a year, and can not only save manpower, but also keep the land without loss. Xu Fang advocated that after the farmer harvests the wheat, instead of cutting the wheat stalks and burning them, it is better to leave them in the ground to rot, not to plow and turn the soil too much, so as not to damage the structure of the soil itself, and only cover the surface with dead leaves and various fertilizers, so that compared with the original, the soil fertility will not only not be degraded, but also become more and more fertile. Xu Fang is still one of the few people who have studied the properties of things very deeply, and he pointed out that the growth of crops absorbs all kinds of substances in the land, and if the demand is excessive, the land will be degraded. Since the Sui and Tang dynasties, Guanzhong has been fully reclaimed, but there is a general problem of geographical degradation. Therefore, Xu Fang proposed that if you want to restore the soil strength, it is like treating the patient, you must first find out the cause of the disease, and then "fertilize like medicine" to restore the soil strength. Under Xu Fang's guidance, a lot of land in Guanzhong has recovered its strength. Everywhere Xu Fang and even his students went, the local scholars and people celebrated.

Chen Qianli said, Zhao Xingde nodded yes, Zhang Bocheng was even more dumbfounded, and said in a lost voice: "I didn't expect my brother to be so attentive to farming." Chen Qianli shook his head and said with a smile: "Agriculture is the foundation of the country, how can it be neglected?" Shi Ge and the others nodded yes one after another, and Shangguan Cheng sighed: "Lord Chen said that I am excited, if it weren't for the fact that Guanzhong is not allowed to buy and sell farmland, I will definitely buy a large piece of land, and then spend a lot of money to ask Master Xu to advise." Shi Ge smiled and said, "Didn't your family buy land in Kanto?" Shangguan Cheng shook his head and said: "My family lives in Guanzhong, and it is enough to walk around in Kanto and open shops, how can I buy land and land." ”

Shi Ge nodded and said, "Without my Great Xia army guarding the place, what's the use of buying land?" Just look at the states behind the mountain to know. He was talking about the fact that the Murbo army bypassed the Song army's cities and plundered and killed people in the prefectures behind the mountains. Everyone sighed and nodded yes. And Zhao Xingde's heart became heavier and heavier, and a layer of haze shrouded his eyebrows.

"Yang Dutou, they came up again, what should I do?"

Yang Yuanlong looked out from the arrow hole of the wooden fence, and saw that the Murbo cavalry had driven a large group of people over, mostly old and weak women and children in ragged clothes, with firewood and grass piled up on their backs, and they were rushing towards Xiangyingyan Village with a frightened face. The Murbo cavalry stopped beyond the Song army's arrows. The faces of the people were full of pleading, but the Mlb did not respond, and bent their bows and arrows on their horses, forcing them to go on, and asking them to pile up wood and grass under the Eagle Rock Village and set it on fire. Yingyan Village is a half-stone and half-wood camp, if the wooden fence is burned, the Song army will have no cover for the arrows, and it will be much easier for the Mulbo people to capture it.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Yang Yuanlong's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and ordered. Behind the Yingyan Village is Hedong, and these demon-like barbarians must not be allowed to enter Hedong, even if these people behind the mountain are unarmed, Yang Yuanlong cannot let them get close to the village.

More than 500 archers of the Hedong Xiang Army bent their bows and set up arrows, and shot out one after another. The people carrying firewood and grass on their backs screamed and fell, and some just begged for mercy: "Don't kill me!" "Arrows mercilessly shot to the ground, some turned to flee for their lives, but were shot by the Zerbo people head-on, not long after, the hundreds of people behind the mountains all fell in a pool of blood, dark red blood flowed down the mountain road, the Zerb cavalry laughed, pointed their bows and arrows at the Song army camp and shouted at the shouting.
