"The owner doesn't know anything~" Xing Jiabao said: "Raising rabbits is faster and more than raising sheep and cattle, and the ability to raise rabbits is very great, a litter of rabbits can raise a group of rabbits in less than a year, and the rabbits grow fast, and the rabbit meat is very good." Besides, it's easier to raise rabbits than sheep and cattle, right? Even the elderly, women and children can do it~~ It won't be long before everyone in Hai Duong can have meat to eat~"

"There is a specialization in the art industry, and these things are up to you~" Song Youliang now completely believes in the ability of the Xing family brothers

"Thank you for your trust~~" Seeing that Song Youliang trusted him so much, the Xing brothers were grateful, and they worked harder from then on

In order to prevent the outflow of high-yield wheat seeds, Song Youliang planned to grind all the wheat from Haiyang into flour in the future, and the grain sent out from the Song family's treasury was processed wheat flour, which was full of quantity. In the eyes of the employees, this is Young Master Xia's benevolence and righteousness, and he works harder. In the future, when grain production increases, the wheat that needs to be ground into flour will definitely be piled up into a mountain, and the two cow mills in Hai Duong will not be enough at all. So Song Youliang found Sun Hejing and Shen Buqi to discuss, and asked if he could make water cones and water mills.

Sun Hejing said: "We can do water cones and water mills, but Dengzhou is a place where water is scarce, and if we build these things far away by the river, if we use the water flow of the irrigation canal, it will slow down the flow of water and make the channel silt up." ”

"What then?" Song Youliang was anxious

Shen Buqi thought for a while and said, "Yes, we can't use water, but we can use wind~~"

"With the wind?"

"Yes, use the wind~" Shen Buqi said with a smile: "When I used to deal with Hongmaoyi, Hongmaoyi said that their country was close to the sea, so they built a lot of things called windmills and used wind power to process grain. Our Haiyang is located by the sea, and the Yellow Sea wind is no less than the sea breeze. ”

Sun Hejing also said: "In fact, the countries of Harel and Samarkand in the Western Regions are also windy. The wall is a house, and the door is opened on all sides at the high place, and the screen wall is set outside the door to face the wind. The room is made of wood for the table, and the wood is used to ride the wind with a surrounding board, and the grinding stone is placed below, and the wind rotates with the table, regardless of the southeast, northwest, and can operate. Song Youliang was overjoyed and immediately ordered Shen Buqi and others to build a windmill. It didn't take long for four more whirring behemoths outside Hai Duong, grinding wheat into wheat flour day and night

In the tenth year of Chongzhen, a warehouse ambassador Su came from Da Songwei, saying that he was here to pay food. As soon as Song Qianjin heard that he was paid, he remembered that Haiyang had not received food for almost a year. According to the rules, Hai Duong should have received 700 stone of grain, which is not counting the arrears over the years.

As a result, the Su officials sent 300 stone of grain, and seeing Song Qianjin frowning, the Su officials said: "Song Qianhu, don't know what to do, if it weren't for the relationship between Commander Zou, you wouldn't even be able to get half of it." ”

Song Qianjin naturally could only accompany the smiling face, and secretly stuffed five taels of silver to the Su officials. The Su official took the silver and told Song Qianjin in private, "In fact, this is the disaster relief money and grain allocated by the imperial court, which was misappropriated by Shangfeng and used for salary." The commander makes the adult familiar with the magistrate, get some more, you can get a copy, it's already good, and there are many people who haven't received a copper coin or a grain of grain in other guards~~"

On the way back to Da Songwei, Su saw many farmers on the side of the road tidying up the land, watering and fertilizing, and the fields were obviously newly cultivated, so he couldn't help but wonder, "Is it still open up in this year?" The Song family, one old and one young, don't have a fever? Even if there is a commander to take care of it, it can't ~~~" But Su Servant thought about it, what does this matter to me? Let this old and young go crazy

Seeing this batch of grain, Song Qianjin habitually planned to transport them to his warehouse. Song Youliang smiled and said, "Dad, let's not worry about this food in the future, I think it's about to be the New Year, so I'll send this food down, so that everyone can have a happy New Year~~"

"Okay, just listen to my son~~" Song Qianjin is more and more regarded this son as a treasure

In February of the 11th year of Chongzhen, the long-lost Yangge sounded outside the city of Haiyang, which was the Haiyang Yangge. The history of Haiyang Yangge can be traced back to the early Ming Dynasty according to the available information. The "Zhao Family Genealogy" in the collection of Zhao Bingshu in Fengcheng Construction Village records: "The second ancestor Zhao (Tong) hereditary (Da Songwei) commanded the town dance and was named General Wuluo. Ming Hongxi year (1425), happy to meet the five generations of the same hall, on the 'seven leaves of the auspicious' amount, hanging plaque Gu Dan, the conductors with the gentleman to come to congratulate, music and dance students Wen Shao rate its creation of the Yangge, dance and sing in the court, its joy and harmony". This is the earliest written record of Haiyang Yangge, which shows that Yangge was active in present-day Haiyang Fengcheng at that time. According to the above, Haiyang Yangge originated from the Han Dynasty, was created in the Ming Dynasty, and flourished in the Dasong Acropolis.

The structure of Haiyang Yangge is rigorous, and the Yangge team is composed of three parts: conductor, actor and band. There are two kinds of actors, male and female, and there are dozens of actors. The male actor is called "Flower Drum" and generally consists of 16 to 24 young men. The merchant and the cuihua are the plots that show the life of small merchants in the countryside walking the streets and alleys, and village girls picking and buying haberdashery. The ugly woman is dressed as an old woman in the countryside, and the silly is a naughty child, and the two are not restricted in the Yangge performance, they can run around at will, make fun and laugh, and please the audience. The performers who pretend to be old men and wives run with the Yangge team and direct Dr. Le to announce the performances. The performance steps of Haiyang Yangge are: worship in, worship out, cross the street, walk in a big formation, play a small field, run a formation, and perform a scene. "Worship in" and "worship out" are mainly used for the contact and farewell between the Yangge team and the receiving unit; The performances that show the lineup and skills of the Yangge team and enter the performance venue to open up the performance area and expand the field are called "crossing the street" and "walking the big array"; "Playing a small field" and "running the formation" are the repeated performances of several roles in the Yangge team and the tacit cooperation of various pattern changes, just like the stars holding the moon; "Performance" is the above forms of "braking and closing the momentum". The Yangge team walked in a large circle in the counterclockwise direction, conducted the Le Dafu dance to the middle point to report the program, and various Yangge small opera dance programs appeared in turn, and other actors squatted on the ground to rest.

Although the people who twisted Yangge were wearing old jackets, they were all elated, and some of the new households and hired workers were not local people in Hai Duong and could not twist Yangge, but they were infected by Hai Duong people and danced together.

Some old men and old ladies cried with joy and said: "I couldn't eat enough in my stomach before, and I haven't twisted this Yangge for many years." Now the blessing of the son of Song~~~"

In the Lunar New Year in February of the 10th year of Chongzhen, Haiyang was as lively as a market, and round tables and square tables were placed everywhere inside and outside the fort. In the open space in the center of the fort, ten cauldrons are lined up, and each pot is steaming, making a small Haiyang steam, like a fairyland. The aroma of meat in the pot wafted out of the pot, causing the mouth to water. Starting from Song Qianjin in the Qianhu Office, officials at all levels took out some of their own silver and their own grain, and wheat flour, vegetables, and poultry meat were continuously transported to the kitchen, and as soon as they were piled up into a small mountain, they collapsed again in the blink of an eye

Song Qianjin set up a flowing water seat in Haiyang, as long as it was a person from Haiyang, whether it was a hired worker or a military household, he could sit down and eat, and leave after eating. The first to come to eat and drink were the sergeants who were in charge of keeping watch around them. These soldiers of Haiyang have not smelled meat for several years, and some of them have eaten so badly that they have loosened their belts and not forgetting to stuff a few wheat cakes or hide a piece of meat in their arms before leaving. Some old military households have never eaten such a big banquet in their lives, and they just put down their chopsticks and go out to relieve their hands, and they don't wash their hands and continue to eat.

In charge of this banquet are Sun Hedou and Shen Lusu, both of whom have seen a big scene, in Shen Lusu's words, when their Shen family had a big birthday, there were many more guests than this. The large banquet of thousands of people was busy but not chaotic and orderly under the arrangement of Zhang Luo of Sun Shen and the others.

The first day of the feast was okay, but on the second day things were a little wrong. Because the flowing water mat of Haiyang is a share, many military households in the nearby tunpu have also come to fight the autumn breeze. At first it was one or two. Later, the family was dragged with the family, and then twenty or thirty people came. After some people have eaten the first round, they go out in a circle, pee and poop and continue to eat the second round

Sun Hedou looked at the chefs who were so busy that they were about to use their feet, but they were still too late, and he was also anxious, and he said to Shen Lusu: "This is the first big thing that Song Gongzi will do when we come to reuse, if the dishes are cut off at the table, let the diners take a look." Then our disadvantage is small, the Song family and thousands of households, hundreds of households, especially Song Gongzi's face is gloomy~~"

Shen Lusu laughed and said: "In the past, our Shen family had a big birthday, and there were a lot of people who ate and drank together, I have a way to deal with it~" Saying that, Shen Lusu asked people to get a large bucket of vermilion lacquer, and secretly painted the vermilion lacquer at the bottom of the bowl, as long as you served the bowl, you will definitely have red vermilion lacquer in your hands. At that time, people did not have the habit of washing their hands before and after eating, and this was especially true of the rough soldiers and villagers. So, the next time you come back after you've eaten, the soldiers standing guard will stop you when they see it

"What's the matter? Again? Wait outside~Eat and then talk~Let the ones who haven't eaten come first~~"

This trick really worked, every time people were released into the banquet, there were as few as a dozen or so, and as many as dozens of people let the soldiers at the door stop. Although the people who were stopped at the door were inevitably laughed at, they didn't mind, and even showed off: "Lao Tzu has eaten more than a dozen dishes in his life~~"

In the mansion of the thousand households, Song Qianjin, Jiang and Xu, the two deputy thousand households, as well as a dry town and a hundred households, were pushing cups and changing lamps. Jiang Huairen suddenly asked, "My lord, why don't you see the young master~~"

Song Qianjin was a little drunk, and said with a smile: "My son went to Rushanzhai to invite my sister-in-law and brother-in-law~~Let's drink ours~"

Zhang Guishan smiled and raised the wine bowl, "My lord, my subordinates will respect you for one night~~"
