Outside the city of Bahe, a golden rice field is bustling with activity, and the people who harvest the rice are in full swing, some of whom are soldiers of the Hulin Army, who are now busy reaping the fruits of a year's hard work.

Bahe City was originally the territory of the Lu clan, as a deep-rooted Haoqiang has not paid rent for many years, since he participated in the rebellion at the beginning of the year and was uprooted by Shi Yuwen Wen, the land of the Lu clan was distributed to the meritorious soldiers of the Hulin Army.

The Hulin Army has to participate in battles with great intensity of training on weekdays, and the farmland outside the city of Libahe is taken care of by others, some of those people are the servants of the original Lu clan, and some are relatives and friends of the soldiers.

After Yuwenwen took Bahe City, it became his own territory, in addition to the relatives of the soldiers of the Hulin Army settled down, but also let the rebuilt Bazhou Navy use this as a place to settle, and now it is the critical moment of the autumn harvest, and all the people who can organize go to the fields to harvest rice.

Now that the weather is good, it is a good time to "grab the sunshine", and the harvested rice can be dried for storage, so people strive to complete the harvesting, threshing, drying and other farm work during this time.

Li Shimo is now wearing a straw hat and holding a sickle to work in the field, he has been poor since he was a child and has no own fields, his parents rely on farming and raising silkworms for large households to make a living, because of the large appetite and the amount of food that the family can not afford to support, Li Shimo can only go to the mine to work as a coolie.

Working hard in the mine and eating poorly, Li Shimo couldn't survive for a few years, and when the turning point came, Gongyu Wenwen of Xiyang County in Anlu City recruited soldiers, and the treatment was good and full, and Li Shimo ran to the two words "full" to join the army.

I have been honing in the army for a year, although the drill is very hard, but I am really full, I eat well, it is not the kind of brown rice with sand, the key is that there is salt and meat, although the amount is not much, but it is already unheard of, and Li Shimo, who was originally strong, is getting stronger and stronger.

With the merits of the bloody battle, he got 60 acres of paddy fields and 20 acres of mulberry fields outside Bahe City, which are still mature fields that have been cultivated for many years, and his parents in the countryside were so happy that they couldn't sleep for several nights when they learned of this situation, and immediately moved to Bahe City with his younger brother Li Tiehammer to settle down.

The two brothers, Li Shimo and Li Tiehammer, both have a lot of food, and they rely on the little bit of family wealth at home to eat enough, but Li Shimo has reduced the burden of joining the army, and now he has a share of the land, which naturally makes the family very excited.

Sixty acres of paddy fields and twenty acres of mulberry fields are a little tighter according to the terms of '100 acres per family', but Li Shimo has food and accommodation in the barracks, and the state government has exempted Bahe City from rent this year, so it is much more relaxed.

"Brother, what kind of windmill can really lick rice?" Li Tiezhu asked, the strangely shaped tower outside Bahe City is said to be a windmill, and there are wooden mallets that can lick rice without human labor in the workshop below.

"If there is wind, you can keep it running day and night." Li Shimo nodded, he and his comrades had seen the windmill, and it did move when there was wind, and the speed of scooping up rice was not slow.

"And what if there's no wind?" Li Tiehammer asked again, Li Shimo grinned and said Then the two of them will scoop rice together, Li Tiehammer heard the words and bent down to continue cutting rice, and their parents were also holding sickles to harvest crops.

Rice is to remove the husk of the rice, it is completely a strength work, although his brothers have a lot of strength, but if the rice is also tired, now there is a windmill that can save a lot of effort, Yuwen has said that this year with the windmill rice does not charge money, so everyone began to line up to get the number with the windmill rice.

The disadvantage of the windmill is that it depends on the wind, so it can't move if there is no wind, there is only one windmill and there are many people in line, Li Shimo has already thought that if he waits too long, he and his younger brother will go into battle in person.

Baihuahua's rice is loaded into the rice jar, and the family will settle when there is grain in stock, Li Shimo never thought that he would have today a year ago.

The Hulin Army is well treated, rewards and punishments are clear, and there is a large area of wasteland outside Xiyang City that is about to be reclaimed, and the younger brother originally wanted to join the army to make meritorious contributions and fight for the land, but Li Shimo decided that this responsibility should be borne by himself.

If you are not careful, you will die when you are a soldier, and it will be enough if he dies, but the old Li family can't cut off the incense, so Li Shimo decided to let his younger brother stay in Bahe City to farm and live a good life with his parents.

In fact, there is another reason for not letting his younger brother join the army: the Hulin Army is now waiting for meritorious service, and he is now leading fifty people to fight, and he can't patronize himself to fight when he is the leader, so it is a little difficult to compete with his comrades, and it is becoming more and more difficult to make great contributions.

Everyone is practicing their skills together every day, Li Shimo's strength is great, but the strength of his comrades has also been trained, and when he meets the soft Chen Guoyu conscription, not to mention them These veterans, even recruits or state soldiers are screaming and pounced.

Wait until the embankment on the north bank of the Santai River is repaired, and the wasteland that can be reclaimed will be doubled.

There are not many people in the Hulin Army who have allocated land in Bahe City, but the wasteland that will be reclaimed after the autumn harvest is about to be divided, and the soldiers who have made meritorious contributions to the battle against Chen this year have lined up to 'shake the number', and everyone has gathered relatives and friends to come and wait to open up the wasteland.

"I'm going to work hard too!" Li Shimo encouraged himself, not only for his parents, but also for his younger brother to marry a daughter-in-law......

Five big ships sailed forward on the river in turn, the hull draft was quite deep, and it seemed to be loaded with heavy goods, they were about to arrive at the waters of Wuzhou up the river, and the Zhou naval army stationed in Wuzhou reacted quickly, and several fast boats rushed over from the naval camp.

"Everyone, come according to the rules for a while, don't talk nonsense, don't look around." Wu Xin looked at the people in front of him and said, a few of them were standing on the deck, looking at the oncoming Zhou army warship.

"Shopkeeper Wu, rest assured, everyone is not the first to come." Some people laughed, and the rest of the people also nodded, they came to the forefront of the confrontation between the two armies as Chen Guoren, without the slightest fear.

The Zhou warship approached, only to see Wu Xin erect a white flag with a picture on the ship, the warship then slowed down and slowly approached, and the leader jumped on the deck and asked who was the leader, Wu Xin stepped forward and saluted and said, "It is below." ”

After he finished speaking, he handed over a piece of paper with words written on it, and after the other party took it, he also took a piece of paper from his entourage and compared it, and looked at it for a moment and handed it back to Wu Xin: "It turned out to be the shopkeeper of Wu, and the rules are all known, right?" ”

"Yes, please lead the way." After Wu Xin finished speaking, seeing the other party nodding, he turned around and led everyone into the cabin, the hatch door closed and the window lowered the curtains.

The warships of the Zhou army escorted these five ships left and right to continue to advance, and they went upriver through the Yangtze River waterway on the right side of Wuzhou, and the garrisons on Wuzhou and the warships in the naval army camp did not move again.

Wu Xin and the rest of the people sat motionless in the cabin, no one lifted the curtains to look outside, they were about to pass through Wuzhou and Yanji later, both of which were sprinkled with the blood of Chen Jun's soldiers.

However, they were not interested in the war between Chen and Zhou, and they did not want to be interested, and the owners of the vast number of supernatural powers wanted to do business, so they set out from Jiankang all the way up the river without any hindrance.

Even in Xisai Mountain, where the heavy troops were gathered, the official warships patrolling the river did not embarrass them, and they were still allowed to pass after passing the certificate, and now the Wuzhou Garrison, which the officers and soldiers could not take alive, they were also unimpeded.

The premise is to abide by the rules, the one in Bazhou values the most is to abide by the rules, and in the face of the master who can have business without doing business as soon as he is mad, the shopkeepers are cautious.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve at the beginning of this year, Chen Shuling, the king of Shixing, led troops to attack Bazhou in the Zhou State of Jiangbei, and wanted to go to Xiyang City to find Shi Yuwen Wen, the assassin who ruined his appearance, to take revenge, but the 'decisive battle at the top of Xiyang' was defeated and died, and it also angered the 'one-legged bronze man'.

Who is Yuwen Wen? The second son of Yuwen Liang, the famous 'Yuwen Evil Wolf', drew a knife in Jiangling City, the capital of Liang Guoguo, and slashed so much that blood flowed like a river, and such a ruthless character was also provoked, and only Chen Shuling, who was also a wicked person, dared to do it.

Chen Shuling stabbed the hornet's nest and caused the wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan to be stung all over the head, and Yuwenwen, who was almost wiped out, immediately became furious, and he urged his father to send troops south to attack Chen Guoyingzhou in Jiangnan.

Chen and Zhou tore their faces and slashed each other, not to mention the war, but to say that it was mostly tears, the key is that the glass mirror that can double its profits as soon as it changes hands is out of stock.

Not only that, but the officials and soldiers were defeated for some reason, and the water battle of Parrot Island was defeated, and the result was that a Xiakou city was besieged, and it was broken by the Zhou army in a few days, and the shopkeepers of various businesses in Xiakou were unlucky.

The Yangtze River is thousands of miles long from west to east, although the Sui, Zhou, Liang, and Chen countries are fighting along the way, but no one among the officials and generals along the way will have trouble with money.

Chen's Yingzhou Prefecture Xiakou is an important transit station, and all the gods have their own shops in Xiakou, and send effective shopkeepers to guard the city to do some business, but everyone in Xiakou fell and everyone was wiped out.

It is also a loss to the traders, Bazhou Thorn Shi Yuwen Wen preached morality, and fished out the shopkeepers and all the tails, everyone returned to Jiangnan without danger, but the goods lost in Xiakou are not to be discussed, although the respective owners have no way to do it, who calls the officials and soldiers to lose the battle in the front.

The war can't stop together, the Yuwen envoy of Bazhou seems to have been stimulated by something, and he didn't stop for long and led his troops south, this toss is a few months, not only tossing Wuchang on the other side of the river, but also making the officials and soldiers disgraced.

The officials in Jiankang City are already very annoyed, so the owners of all walks of life have to find ways to make the officials happy, of course, good things are everywhere, but the good things produced in Bazhou are not available elsewhere.

Glass mirrors, glass jewelry, and the 'mysterious baby' that has been predicted in advance are really restless, seeing that autumn has arrived, Yu Wenwen's anger seems to have almost disappeared, and this business is about to start quickly.

Of course, Wu Xin and others, as Chen Guoren, are also concerned about the imperial court, and the generals of the official army who were exiled to Jiangbei after suffering defeat do not know how many, and those who miss their families do everything possible to entrust people to ransom, and the asking price for being able to talk to Yuwen Xingtai is too high, but they are much more righteous if they can talk to Xiaoyuwen envoy.

Wu Xin and others just acted as intermediaries to confiscate any benefits, and after going back and forth several times, they formed a lot of good fate, and it was much more convenient to travel back and forth between the north and south of the river.

Doing business is about connections, and the wealth of Yuwen Jun, who took Bazhou, is endless, although his subordinate Wang Shopkeeper and the dead Shixing King Chen Shuling have a holiday, but the Wang Shopkeeper was originally their old acquaintance, and this business is much smoother.

I don't know how long the ship docked, Wu Xin and his party got off the boat and found that they had arrived at Bakou, several people on the dock had been waiting for a long time, and the first two people saw them and walked up with a spring breeze on their faces to salute: "Ladies and gentlemen, Wang/Li has been waiting for a long time." ”

"Shopkeeper Wang, shopkeeper Li." Wu Xin and the others also saluted, and after a moment of greetings, they sent their men to count the goods on the ship, and they got into the prepared carriage and headed towards Xiyang City in the west.

Along the way, you pass a large rice field, and everywhere you look is golden, the autumn wind rises, and it is harvest season again. (To be continued.) )
