The fields crisscross the land, on all sides are planted with good crops, and the fertile areas are sown wheat, although the sowing method has some back-to-basics, after the oldest planting method.

But now it is the latest and most labor-saving method researched by Chu Jun's agricultural science.

There are also mounds of soil piled up in small areas on the edge of the field, exuding a pungent smell, which are the piles of fertilizer that have been passed down from the Chu army.

Stacking fertilizer plus sowing and quyuan plough is the basis for the best wide and coarse seeds.

This makes many Han people proficient in mastering this technology, a strong man can cultivate up to 100 acres of land, but the harvest of one acre is not much worse than the previous intensive cultivation.

In the past, a strong man guarded one acre and three points of land, relied on hoes to plough the ground, and there was no fertilizer, and many places where there was no exchange of planting technology, and in the face of disasters such as locusts, he did not think about how to effectively prevent and deal with them, but worshiped the gods.

In today's world of organization, technology and communication, where can it be compared?

In this way, the per capita harvest of farmers has increased by tens or nearly 100 times, of course, and this is when there is enough land to ensure that everyone can grow their own maximum cultivated area.

Unfortunately, this is impossible, in this densely populated Jizhou, where there is not enough land, intensive cultivation still accounts for the majority.

This phenomenon is the same in Hebei at the same time, although it is the northern part of the Yellow River in Qingzhou Plains County, but now the land north of the Yellow River in the Plains is not planted.

Tens of thousands of troops trampled on this land, hundreds of banners were written with "Qi" and "Le", and only one flag was red with yellow on a red background, embroidered with an iron camel arch guarding the gilded "Chu" character.

In the Chinese army of tens of thousands of troops, the young man Lang Cao Que was dressed in the costume of a military marquis with a red flag, but he was neck and neck with the music of the captain's costume, and he said very affectionately:

"General Le, I am really excited to be able to send troops with you this time to completely take back the Qingzhou Plain, which originally belonged to my uncle, under my uncle's rule."

The uncle here is naturally Cao Que's stepfather Cao Xing's good brother Yuan Shu, that is, the lord of Le.

Cao Que was very excited here, but Le had a headache for him, and just said perfunctorily: "What General Que said is very true!" ”

"Report!"

A scout came on a fast horse, and the flag on his back indicated his identity, and the scout bowed on horseback:

"Report to the general! Found a village ahead ......"

Before the scout finished speaking, Cao Que had already rushed forward to speak first, and grabbed the reins of the scout's horse: "Is there anyone in the village?" Can the scouts be captured? ”

The scout first nodded, then shook his head, and was frightened enough by Cao Que, Cao Que saw that there were people in the village, and they had not yet been captured, like a cat that smelled fish, and after asking the specific location, he waved his horsewhip:

"Brothers with red flags! Follow me! Take Zhao Jun's village and rescue the people in the village! Drive! ”

Cao Que led a song with two hundred flags inlaid with red flags, and the soldiers walked away before a word came from afar.

"General Le, the Qi army is tired from the march, so I will go first to capture the village for you and prepare accommodation!"

Seeing Cao Que, who was greedy and greedy to the bone marrow, leave, Le didn't know why he was relieved, fortunately they were only 200 people, and they had 10,000 of them, and they couldn't compete for the population.

Le beckoned and called the scout just now: "What is the population of the village where Cao Que went?" Male geometry? Could it be a threat to his life? ”

The scout shook his head.

"Then you can talk about other bigger villages and even markets!"

Scout and Le both showed their cunning side, and after getting along with Cao Que for a long time, how to keep their own credit, everyone knows it well.

The scout replied in his ear, for fear that there would be spies from the Chu army around: "Just north of the direction where the Marquis of Cao Que went there, there is a pavilion with a population of no less than 1,000 people, and there is a bazaar further north, which is a township in the former Cheng Dynasty.

Further south ......"

The more Le listened, the more pleased he became, and gave the scout a look of your true behavior, and said loudly to the herald:

"Order, Sima of the Left Side Army led a thousand soldiers under his command to go to the northern pavilion of Caoque!

The commander of the front department led 2,000 soldiers to the bazaar!

The rest of the right army Sima and the rear lieutenant went to ......

The remaining 4,000 Chinese troops will go straight to the county seat with me! ”

Le is the captain, the front and rear of his command are the captains, and the left and right parts are the military horses of other departments, all of which are lower than him.

This time he got the opportunity to divide his troops to go to the plains, and Le just wanted to take advantage of this to capture more territory, and more importantly, to capture more population, anyway, the Yellow River is on the side, and the transportation is very simple, which can be said to be the easiest to earn credit in all battles.

Presumably after going back, a Zhonglang general is indispensable.

——

Cao Que didn't know that he had been tricked, and he was happily leading the two hundred and eight banner soldiers under his command to kill the village that the scout said.

After walking for a few miles, I saw a village in the midst of the fields, surrounded by dozens of thatched huts surrounded by simple fences, which could not be stopped even by the larger animals, let alone two hundred strong Eight Banner soldiers.

"One, two, three...... Forty-one! Forty-one thatched huts are intact, and forty-one families must live there! There are four or five people in a household, which is exactly the merit of one person sharing one mouthful.

Ha ha! It's been posted!

Brothers, kill with me! Catch it alive! ”

Cao Que is like a profiteer, talking to himself, fortunately he doesn't have an abacus around his neck that has become popular recently, otherwise he would be more like a profiteer.

Two hundred and eight banner soldiers rushed into the village, and suddenly the whole village was full of chickens and dogs, and the men in the Zhuangzi organized themselves with hoes and dung forks, and even the women picked up kitchen knives and sticks.

Seeing that a bloody battle was about to break out, the profiteer Cao Que came out at this time:

"Don't move, don't move, these are my treasures...... Ahem, the suffering people we want to save!

Folks! We are the Chu army, the Chu army that provides you with fields and jobs, and rescues the suffering!

Put away your farm tools, farm tools are for farming, not for fighting, that big sister, don't look at others as you, you said you are young, don't hold a child and hold a bench, what do you want to do?

You can still fight on the bench with your body......"

The villagers were a little embarrassed by Cao Que's words, but fortunately, although the Chu army was menacing, they also did not commit any crimes in the autumn, at least they did not hurt people or loot.

The female village girl holding the bench was embarrassed to put down the bench by Cao Que, stretched her hand back, and really picked up a child, and said a little timidly:

"The people in the government say that your Qi army and Chu army are all demons, and they eat the hearts of beauties, so they ......"

"So you think you're a beauty? Don't tease me! ”

Being teased by Cao Que, people couldn't help but fantasize about the dark face full of freckles of this village girl, and many people began to hold back their laughter.
