Three days passed in a flash, and Tieshan still looked like a mess, but fewer and fewer people starved to death, and finally broke off. Mao Wenlong gave Mao Jue 20,000 stone of military rations, if the 5,000 army is enough to harvest next autumn, but raising more than 20,000 soldiers and civilians will not last a few months, Mao Jue doesn't care about this, he is responsible for the plain clothes every day, and the general Yamen and his own soldiers carry the corn and wheat noodles to the soup porridge, at least ensuring that one person has two meals a day.

A few days ago, the battle of Moon Valley showed Mao Jue's prestige, and the big guy was afraid of it, but this time, Mao Jue showed his benevolence, which made people truly grateful to Dade, many people received hot porridge, and they had to bow twice to the general Yamen, making Su Yi smile sweetly every day.

This is called buying people's hearts.

However, Mao Jue was taking the military rations that should have been supplied to the army to do favors, except for the less than 2,000 men and horses under his command, don't care what He Bao, Zhao Cheng, Zhao Yong or Tian Tao, I haven't seen a single millet.

Among them, the two brothers Zhao Cheng can still bear it, their defense area is on the Tieshan Peninsula, hiding behind Tieshan City, there are tens of thousands of acres of wheat and grain storage, even if the imperial court does not issue military rations, they can hold on. But seeing that Huang Cancan's corn was fed to the people, Tian Tao and He Baobao, the military leaders of the defense area north of Tieshan City, became more and more restless.

But Mao Jue didn't care about them at all.

On the morning of the fourth day, the east courtyard behind the Yamen of the General Army.

Wen Meng, Da Dahai, Shen Rong, Liu Chong and Su Changmei, all the henchmen and generals arrived, took half a boatload of ginseng and mink, and the kidney-deficient son, who had already seen a good life in the future, also looked at the excitement profligately.

Following behind Mao Jue, Su Yi was tangled with a pair of index fingers, in case this foreign girl did not complete the young master's requirements, she was really driven out of the house by herself, and finally eaten by the wicked, it would be too cruel.

Or, leave her behind? It's a big deal to send her to wash clothes and cook, and make her dirty all day long, the young master will definitely not take a fancy to her!

Thinking about it, Su Yi also nodded a little brain melon seriously.

To be honest, Mao Jue said that he didn't care, but he was actually quite nervous, although the money could be found for the first time, and he could find the second time, and the number of these sweet potato buds was really a lot, and it was enough to harm once. But the agricultural time is a mistake for a year, this year there is no national logistics, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai send the northeast three days to the good thing, if this foreign girl is really big and small, it really delays him a lot.

Besides, Qian Zeng didn't plan to return to Jiangnan this winter, and the ginseng market in Jiangnan has been rising all the way recently, and now that he has caught Mao Jue's line, he naturally has to collect a lot of money. What's more, it is estimated that there is still the investment of Master Fan, in order to go back and not be chopped by investors, it is impossible for this guy to run Jiangnan again for him by empty boat.

Fortunately, this foreign girl is smart enough, and learned from Qian Zeng's reminder that Mao Jue values her planting talent the most, not hue, otherwise she would not have just played a play of hugging the pipa and half-covering her face, and her tone was so horizontal, and she dared to deliberately sarcastically mock Mao Jue, these are all to emphasize her importance, compared to Mao Jue, this girl has no way out, and her whole net worth is pressed on this batch of seeds.

Today I also took the time to focus on dressing up, Mao Jue could obviously see that she covered up the dark circles under her eyes with powder, although it was still that set of pleated skirts, but in terms of Western aesthetics, this was already a very formal dress, she deliberately dressed herself up to look shrewd and capable.

"I've seen the master!"

Facing a group of generals who were a little confused, this girl carried her skirt and poured a blessing in a decent manner.

"How about Ben to get the seeds?"

There is no nonsense, Mao Jue went straight to the point, but this girl was even more straightforward, lifting the corner of her skirt to open the door of the small courtyard, and made a gesture of please.

Not to mention, Qian Zeng recommended that this girl is a master gardener really didn't brag, three days ago, the bare small yard, taking advantage of the last warmth was actually covered with a layer of green, in the yard, a sweet potato vine has climbed from the ground to the side of the support shelf, and the potato field in the corner of the wall is also lush green.

It turns out that this thing is not buried in the whole thing, a sprouted potato sweet potato should be divided into many fast, separate seeds, so that it can survive, if you are responsible, many seedlings grab a piece of nutrition but everyone starves to death.

Leaning on the most sunny place, a few tomatoes that have been moved from the south of the Yangtze River have already borne fruit, and the original green fruits have also become red, which is very gratifying, and some small leaves are actually peanuts.

"Where's the corn!"

"Back to the master, indoors."

The weather in Liaodong still has some impact on these friends who come from afar, the yard can see the traces of straw mats and fire barrels burning, as for the bud rice of Mao Jue's relationship is simply put in the house, just push the door open, it is a hot breath to the face, the things in the original house have been emptied, the big dustpan for raising silkworms is covered with a thin layer of soil, and the new tender buds of corn can be vaguely seen.

"How long do you have to plant?"

It's really a bit similar to the appearance of the breeding farm seen on TV in later generations, this room is dense, and it is estimated that it can plant tens of thousands of acres of land, and Mao Jue really nodded with satisfaction.

The eldest man who will serve in the future is satisfied, and the foreign girl is also secretly relieved, her speech speed has become a little slower, and she replied with a little ease.

"If you go back to the master, you can raise it for another seven or eight days, and you can go to the ground, but it's ......"

After hesitating, she continued to tell the truth.

"Liaodong is bitterly cold, and now it's too late to go to the ground, whether the mature harvest can be completed before the cold winter snowfall, the slave maid is really not sure."

This is true, and it is also a real point in Mao Jue's worries, corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes were indeed sown in autumn and winter in his time, almost planted in mid-July, and harvested in November, but it was cold-tolerant corn that had been selected for many generations, these guys were still passed down from the Americas and had not been improved for several generations, and he was really not sure if they could withstand the heavy snowstorm in the Northeast.

And this era is the Xiaoice period, which is colder than the same era.

It's a pity that Mao Jue has no way out, his food is limited, at most he can eat until December this year, until last resort, he can no longer open his mouth like Mao Wenlong, a few months later, the weather will become colder, and the marine fishing industry will also begin to enter difficulties, or even no harvest, he can only gamble, bet God will not give this way of life.

If the bet is won, the bicycle will become a car, the big guy will be full, and his position as a general in this iron mountain will also become as hard as iron, in case the bet is lost, maybe there will be a famine in the cold winter, but Mao Jue still has a chance to turn the tables, after thinking clearly, Mao Jue couldn't help but grit his teeth and nodded.

"You continue to plant the seeds, and they will be ...... in a few days"

"Wait, what about tobacco!"

A cold duck voice interrupted Mao Jue's words, and in his astonishment, Qian Zeng, the son of kidney deficiency, walked triumphantly to the front, hugged his arms and said.

"I also brought this tobacco seed, why haven't they been sown in the past few days? Girl in plain clothes, this girl didn't meet Brother Mao's request, you can dip her in the pig cage and throw her into the sea! ”

Some people really shouldn't talk nonsense when they shouldn't speak, obviously this guy is to show his merit for what happened three days ago, to please Su Yi, but in a word, Su Yi was so frightened that she trembled, and the foreign girl immediately became pale, Mao Jue herself, the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching.

"Brother Qian, didn't you say that you had a bad stomach and a stomachache this morning?"

"Oh? Why did Brother Mao say this? Qian is obviously good, how can he ...... Oops......"

With a fist on the stomach, the goods bent down like a shrimp, and then Mao Jue hurriedly waved his hand with a concerned look: "You don't have long eyes?" I didn't see Brother Qian's stomachache, so don't hurry up and help him down to rest! ”

"Little obedience!"

Holding back a laugh, the two pro-soldiers dragged the painful guy out, seeing the depressed face of the kidney-deficient son, this foreign girl couldn't help but laugh out loud, and Su Yi also followed, but then glanced at the foreign girl with a sour and resentful look.

This is good, this girl has also entered the Mao Mansion, and her title of the young master's favorite girl is starting to be a little dangerous!

"Master, what the hell are these?"

In the morning, he was summoned by Mao Jue, and after a look, Wen Meng didn't know when he picked Mao Jue's tomatoes, and while eating with a red mouth, he asked naughtily, why did he turn around, Mao Jue, who had just spoofed Qian Zeng, suddenly collapsed a few green tendons in his head, and twisted his fist a few times to endure it so that he didn't give him a diarrhea punch.

A good commander must be loved by his subordinates, but he does not necessarily have to explain everything to his subordinates. Will he die this time, but under the order of the commander, he will still go to the soup without hesitation.

Just like Napoleon's conquest of Russia and the hundreds of thousands of French troops that followed him, by virtue of the majesty of the commander and the trust in him! Therefore, Mao Jue didn't plan to explain to these coarse people, and directly shouted in a commanding tone.

"From now on, in addition to the pro-soldier team and the standard camp guards, all of your subordinates will go to the field for Ben Shuai, and give you five days, Ben Shuai will see these things and cultivate 10,000 acres of fertile land!"

"Planting at this time?"

Wen Meng squirted out half a mouthful of tomato red soup, and Liu Chong, who also wanted to pick one, squirted an arm, and Shen Rong, the boss of the huge sea, also hugged his fist in disbelief.

"Master General, isn't it too late to plant now? Besides, what are these things? This allowed the soldiers to plant in the ground......"

"Do you have an opinion?"

Seeing that Mao Jue grinned gloomily, a few old people couldn't help but tremble again, Mao Jue's methods they could understand the training a few days ago, if they made a mistake, even if they had to be punished, and Mao Jue's military law did not fight or scold, squatting and walking for a morning, even if the two thighs of Liu Chong who practiced martial arts all the year round were not their own, no one dared to challenge Mao Jue's authority again, one or two like nodding worms, busy clasping their fists in response.

"The last general will obey!"

sent away a few old coarse, but this Su Changmei didn't leave, following behind Mao Jue, he also hugged his fists worriedly.

"General, this military town reclamation is a big deal, you are desperate, in case you ......"

"If you don't plant now, won't you starve if the land is barren? Besides, leisure is changing, so that the tunhu of Tieshan Town has been staying in this Tieshan City, and sooner or later there will be chaos, how did Tian Tao's side go? ”

Seeing that Mao Jue was reluctant to talk more, this Su fat man also knew the current affairs and closed his mouth, and shifted the topic aside, but his face was also filled with a sense of conspiracy, and he replied coldly with his fists.

"Master Hui, it's almost, just in the past few days!"

Nodding gloomily, Mao Jue waved his hand again, Su Changmei also hurriedly withdrew from the courtyard like a Tibetan mastiff, and the lively courtyard just now, in addition to being busy with a few soldiers and servants, for a while, only Mao Jue, Su Yi, and the three foreign girls were left.

Pulled the sweet potato seedlings again, enough patience to hang the appetite of this foreign girl, it was really the ass that decided the head, Mao Jue, a very honest person, sat in the position of "mayor and commander of the military region", and became a lot more insidious, until the calm foreign girl's big blue eyes showed a little impatience, Mao Jue turned around like a veteran in the love field, and put on a warm smile.

"What's your name?"

"Back to my lord, the slave's name is Adriana. D. W. Wallenstein. ”

Referring to this name, the foreign girl said it in her native language, and her fair face was faintly filled with a little pride with the pronunciation, listening to this pronunciation, suddenly, Mao Jue was cold and a little familiar, and she couldn't help but repeat it.

"Wallenstein ......"
