"Boom, boom, boom—"

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the sound of the gong sounded, and along the river, at the foot of the mountain, the crowd full of work became noisy. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

They came back with hoes and pickaxes, or drove oxen and mules and donkeys, men and women, young and old, laughing and laughing.

They were all dressed in uniforms and wrapped around their belts, but they were light and short in summer, with different colors on the outside and on the outside, and ordinary villagers were gray on one side and green on the other. The chief and the chief of the armor are gray on one side and red on the other, and they both wear very light felt hats.

At this time, it was peaceful, and their clothes were all gray and one side was exposed, and if there was a war, the blue and red side was exposed, and it became a military uniform.

The women are also dressed very neatly, all wearing skirts, tops and skirts, blue and blue, with buns, and many people wear hats at this time.

They were village soldiers, and they all had weapons, but at this time, they did not carry heavy weapons such as spears and broadswords, but both men and women had swords pinned to their waists.

"Bang

He was originally an instructor in the drill station, and there were armor everywhere, and in addition to the township soldiers, their drills were also very important, so Wang Zhizhi put down and managed a village, which could be regarded as a promotion.

After he arrived at Shoushanzhuang, his main position was to coordinate the overall situation, and then be responsible for internal and external security, military and cultural education.

Then there were two old men on the side, but they were the deputy security chiefs, one was in charge of Tuntian civil affairs, and the other was in charge of economy and commerce. The deputy in charge of Tuntian was also an activist, and he had dinner at the same table with Dai Twelve Niang and Yang He, but he was an old man who was a good farmer in the former Gongtun Institute.

Another old man surnamed Sun, who also set up a stall in his hometown, was a businessman, and he joined Xin'anzhuang early, so he was transferred to manage the economy and business.

The three of them are the management of Shoushanzhuang, and in the future, the insurance department will also have two clerks, responsible for household registration and field books, clerical chores, and then concurrently serve as teachers in Baoxuetang.

But at this time, there was no secretary office, and because the security affairs had just begun, both Wang Baochang and the two deputy security chiefs were fully engaged in the reclamation of the land outside the bail.

As the gong sounded, more and more Zhuang people gathered, laughing and laughing, and consciously lined up in front of Wang Zhizhi, a column of men, a column of women and children, all with mud and dust on their faces.

But they were fed for a few months, and they were fed every day, and both men and women were much stronger, and their spirits were quite good. Coupled with a one-color uniform, each with a head knife pinned to his waist, there is a kind of sharpness.

Let them go out to fight, for example, if they fight the villagers of the nearby attached village, they will definitely have no problem beating 1,000 people with 500 people.

"Count." Seeing that everyone was lined up, Wang Zhizhi said.

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine......"

All the Zhuang people are ten men in a row, a long at the very end, divided into several rows, now from the front row, one by one to report the number, all the voices are loud, a few months down, the Zhuang people have been very accustomed to it.

The women's side did not report the number, but the captain of the women's team also checked to see if there was any leakage, and the women also looked to see if their children were there.

In the future, the affairs of Shoushan Villa will be refined, but at this time, men, women and children will go into battle together, and work together to open up wasteland and cultivate water conservancy. However, men do heavier work, such as mostly focusing on water conservancy, while women do slightly lighter work, such as plowing the land or planting beans on some cultivated land.

Even the big children in the village are with their respective mothers to help work, and the children in the village will also have more work in the future, such as the livestock farm in the village, those chickens, ducks and sheep will be driven out to feed, and the cattle in the village, and some of the fodder and grass eaten by mules and donkeys will also be collected by them.

It can be said that everyone in Shoushan Villa has a job, and there is no idler.

Of course, it is not possible for everyone to be outside the village at this time, and some people who work in the canteen stay in the village.

There were also elderly men and women who also helped in the canteen or looked after the young children, who later worked as cleaners.

"One hundred and eight." The two guards beside him also reported the number, and finally Wang Zhizhi roared, this is all the young and strong people in Shoushan Villa, one hundred and eight people.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Wang Zhizhi said: "Finish the work and go back to the village for dinner." ”

He shouted, "All of them, arms on the shoulder, turn to the right." ”

All the male villagers shouted, and the hoe and pickaxe were on their shoulders, and then they turned neatly to the right to the road back to the village.

After more than two months, they have formed a conditioned reflex in this move.

"Let's go!" Wang Zhizhi walked with the gong at the head, Tian Laohan followed with an hourglass, and Sun Laohan, the villagers, etc., followed one by one.

Then the women's team in the rear, leading the ploughing oxen, mules and donkeys followed, and the children of each family jumped up and shouted: "Eat, eat." ”

Every time it comes to eating, it always makes people feel happy, and after a morning of work, everyone is hungry.

It is also a time when the atmosphere is relaxed, especially when the women laugh and gossip, and the children of the family jump around, sometimes too naughty, and their mothers naturally discipline them.

At this time, there was no civilized education, they were all grabbing and holding their buttocks for a good beating, and then the women laughed.

However, the men in front of him were still walking in line, and when Wang Zhizhi left, he shouted from time to time: "All take out your spirits, all walk together, and sing ...... All of them are united, and the mountains can shake ...... "Triumphant Song", sing! ”

He asked everyone to sing a military song, and led the singing with a ghost crying wolf.

All the villagers sang: "Only loyalty and righteousness, angry bullfighting." The Lord will kiss me better than my parents. Committing military law violations, and not being free......"

"The order is clear, and the reward and punishment letter are written. Go to the water and fire, dare to stay late! ”

The army song of the ghost crying wolf sounded all the way, and soon everyone arrived in front of their village, a wall, a ditch, a dirt road, two reed houses, very simple.

However, although there is a ruined village at the foot of Erlang Mountain, it has been burned to the point that there is no hair left, and there can be no existing houses to live in like Xin'an Village and Jiaoshan Village, and it is not a matter of one or two days to build a house.

Ruoshou Villa is still a lot of this situation, Yanghe solution is to purchase reed houses, Huaishang residents are good at weaving reeds for the house, all kinds of reed weaving is still endless, "Lu Chai Fence Lu Chai Wall, Lu Chai Pot Cover Lu Chai Liang, Lu Chai Mat, Lu Chai Gate", this is the characteristics of many residents of Huai'an Mansion.

The reed weaving and willow weaving industry here is developed, that is, Pizhou City has a large number of households that make a living from weaving, so in February and March, Yang He sent orders to various places, and some of the houses without houses were temporarily replaced by the purchased reed houses.

However, there are new village plans near each "reed village", such as the edge of Shoushan reed village, there is a large piece of land, although the house is not built, but the street road is set up, and it is two zhang wide. Each covers an acre of residential land, and there are sewers between houses.

There are also reserved land and squares for the insurance department, covering a total area of four acres.

There are also canteens, schools, libraries, hospitals, warehouses, bathhouses, public toilets, animal pens, temples and so on.

The general plan is that each new village should be built within five years.

The people of Shoushan Village were originally refugees in Lingbi County, and for them, it was very good to have a reed house to live in, not to mention that a new village would be built here in the future, with a set of houses per person, a set of courtyards, heirlooms, and they would take root here in the future.

Of course, this kind of good thing is only for the villagers of Xin'an, and in the future, Xinxiang will be set up, and the villagers will only divide the land and not build houses. Because Yang He calculated that it would cost 50,000 taels of silver to build a set of courtyard houses in the countryside, 50,000 taels for 1,000 households in a township, and 500,000 taels for a county.

It is certain that his territory will expand, will he have to build it county by county? He couldn't afford it.

Everyone entered the village, until they walked to the south, there is a security office here, there is a canteen, they are all reed houses, and the front is a large square.

The special canteen is supported by some tall wood, with reed mats and grass on top, no walls on all sides, some large pots and stoves below, and some scattered tables and chairs.

Some strong women are busy, although the canteen is a little oily, but the work is not easy, especially a meal to manage the food of hundreds of people, very hard.

At this time, the food was ready, the hot aroma was permeating, and all the villagers were salivating, and they were so hungry after a morning of work.

Fortunately, everyone enters the village not for a day or two, they all have a sense of discipline, wash their hands and face at the moment, line up to receive food, a team of men, women and children.

Today's meal was very good, a large bucket of brown rice, a large pot of vegetables, and eggplant winter melon, mixed with chopped dried fish in the stir-fry, and a large bucket of fresh fish soup.

Recently, the villagers rarely eat meat, because the surrounding meat has been eaten up by them, after all, the big fat pig at this time is only more than 100 catties, very impatient to eat, fortunately, there are many rivers and lakes around, there are still many fish, and the villagers eat more fish recently.

After everyone lined up to receive the meal, they all came back with a smile, each with a wooden tray, a bowl of rice, a bowl of vegetables, and a bowl of soup, and the rice was not enough to add. There are many dried fish for men and few dried fish for women, and each of the three deputy chiefs has a complete dried fish.

When everyone received the food, they either squatted or stood, or scattered in all directions, they couldn't wait to eat it violently, and they also said hello, but it was the male villagers who beckoned their mother-in-law and children to come over, and gave them some vegetables, and then after they received the food, they ran to the side to eat.

It's not uncommon for families to get together for dinner, but it's rare, because some people gossip and talk about their fears.

There are some tables in the cafeteria, but everyone rarely uses them, even Wang Zhizhi's three deputy chiefs are also squatting in a circle to eat.

The sound of chewing, everyone ate very sweetly, all gobbling up, more than two months into the village, many people still have the feeling of not eating enough.

It's not that there is no progress, compared to the fact that everyone used to surround the rice bucket, they were afraid that the rice inside would be robbed by others, and now the image of everyone is much better.

Many villagers always sigh that although they eat brown rice and black noodles, they can eat enough every day, and they also eat white flour and polished rice on festivals, which is really unimaginable before.

In fact, for their food supply, Yang He deliberately provides black flour brown rice, brown rice is not good-looking, the taste is coarse, and the cooking time is longer, but it retains the bran and germ with extremely high nutritional content, and the nutritional value is much higher than that of polished rice.

The same goes for black noodles, which have bran inside, which is more nutritious than white noodles.

It's just that at this time, polished rice and white flour are noble, and large families don't eat brown rice and black flour.

After lunch, because the weather is getting hotter, the work in the afternoon should start at the time of application, so as not to suffer from heat stroke, especially the children should not go with them in the afternoon.

Before the lunch break, the chief Wang Zhizhi summoned the people to the square to give a lecture, he summed up the work this morning, and praised the two villagers, a man and a woman, saying that the two work particularly hard, and he will report to the top to see if the two can be rated as activists.

If the two of them are selected, they may have the honor to eat at the same table with Yang Xianggong, just like Deputy Chief Tian, so that he Wang Zhizhi's face also has brilliance.

The villagers whispered, and they all looked at the man and woman with envy, if they were rated as activists, not to mention the honor of eating at the same table with Yang Xianggong, it would be a lot more bonus at the end of the year.

Then Wang Zhizhi's face sank, and he scolded a man in the top three, doing things slowly, procrastinating, and pretending, which was really a shame for the five hundred brothers and sisters in Shoushanzhuang.

He called the man out and scolded: "Eleven big men in the second and fifth are not as good as half-haired children who do things well." Look at your face when you eat, add bowl after bowl, and you can eat it? It's a monkey. ”

Wang Zhizhi scolded this man with his head and face, and he was full of Suzhou dialect, he looked down on such a person very much, he ate more fiercely than anyone else, and did things more cowardly than anyone else.

As a veteran soldier who joined the formation of the River Temple, he lost his left arm against the bronze mountain bandits, he was not abandoned by Yang Xianggong, after entering Xin'anzhuang, he was still working in the preparation office, and now he is more long-term, Wang Zhizhi is full of the idea of loyalty and gratitude, and he wants to do a good job in the Zhuangzi he is responsible for.

And repaying the favor is one thing, as the chief of the body, Zhuangzi has done a good job, he has a promotion performance, a good bonus.

But if it doesn't work, if he can't complete the task for the next year, he will also be punished, and maybe the position of the security chief will be gone.

So if the villager didn't work well, he became angry.

He scolded for a while, and then announced the punishment of the villager, lazy and pretended, and recorded a major demerit.

The farmer was pale, gritted his teeth, hung his head, and the punishment for each village's major demerit was not trivial, and if he was demerit three times, the whole family would be expelled.

They will lose everything they have in front of them, especially if they want to find this kind of place to eat and clothe, it is a fantasy.

The villagers listened below, but they didn't have sympathy for this man, and many people discussed: "You really deserve it." ”

"Yes, the punishment is good, I was a thief, it was Yang Xianggong who took us in, and now we are given food, shelter and wages, and we are not working hard, is this still a person?"

"This Liu Dacong was not a thing in the past, he was idle in the countryside, if it weren't for his mother-in-law grinding tofu, his two girls would have starved to death."

"I don't know how to be grateful, I have no conscience, I'm really loafing."

Listening to Zhuang Min's condemnation, Liu Dacong hung his head, and he was also helpless next to him, she knew that her husband often felt sorry for himself, and always wanted to make a splash and do a big career.

It's just that I'm not down-to-earth, and I can't do anything around me, isn't that the heart of the young lady and the life of the maid?

Afterwards, the villagers dispersed and went back to their reed house to rest, but as the management, Wang Zhizhi, Tian Laohan and others were not so relaxed.

The three of them braved the scorching sun to walk to the north village wall, looking at the river and fields over there, Wang Zhizhi frowned and said: "Before autumn sowing, can the water conservancy of our village be repaired and cultivated?" ”

Old man Sun said: "Our village began to be cultivated in April, and it has been abandoned here for less than three years, and it is by the river, the water and soil are good, and a laborer can cultivate six or seven acres a month without oxen." Now there are hundreds of people, and there are cattle, mules and donkeys, and it is not difficult to cultivate 6,000 acres before autumn sowing. Polder walls, ponds, canals, can also be done well, the key is not to know how much per mu next year, the top requires next year to harvest a stone, I have no bottom in my heart. ”

Tian Laohan said: "My hometown is in good times, there is no water conservancy, winter wheat is almost a stone, we have so many ponds, canals, and a stone per mu must be no problem." If you are still afraid, if you have cultivated the land, you should first plant some mung beans and sesame seeds to fertilize the field. Regardless of the yield of beans in autumn, even the roots are turned into the ground when ploughing the land, and the fertility of the land will definitely increase. ”

Wang Zhizhi nodded, he was also a farmer, so he naturally knew the method of fertilizing beans, and he also knew that mung beans were the best for fertilizing fields.

He looked over there, and there was a high polder wall by the river, which was made of stone, protecting the vast fields inside, and in some places there were sluices to divert and hold back water.

Behind the polder wall or in some fields, there are multiple ponds and aqueducts, most of which are made of stones, which can be used for irrigation and drainage.

With so many water conservancy facilities, next year's yield per mu is indeed no problem, and when it is idle after autumn sowing, the road can be repaired.

But Wang Zhizhi also has extravagant hopes in his heart, it would be good if he could produce more per mu, he thought to himself: "I heard that there is a baby in the village called Linfei, which can increase production, what is that?" ”

……

The base fertilizer, which is mainly farmhouse fertilizer, is constantly sprinkled in the field, and some people carry baskets on their backs to sprinkle some black-brown and smelly powder, but it is phosphate fertilizer.

Some of them are seabird dung and fish bone meal, while others are mixed and soaked with fish scales, rotten meat from fish intestines, crab shells, shrimp shells, etc., and finally fermented by a series of methods.

It smells like it, but it's the fertilizer that crops crave, so why does the local vegetation always grow lush after every big war? In fact, it is the effect of phosphate fertilizer.

The human carcass is phosphate fertilizer, and the fish is as phosphate as the animal carcass.

At this time, it is near Jiaoshan Villa, where there is Baima Lake, from north to south, from east to west, there are dozens of square kilometers of plains.

Jiaoshanzhuang is also a big village, at this time there are 400 households, about 2,000 people, and there are some road workers, water conservancy team people stationed in the inside, with shops.

The water conservancy fields here were reclaimed and built relatively early, polder walls were built along the lake, there were diversion culvert sluices, and there were ponds and canals along many fields.

The paddy fields here have been cultivated for 5,000 acres, all of which are mixed with lime to balance the acid and alkali, and the fields have been abandoned for less than two years, so it is relatively easy to deal with.

Some wheat fields have also been reclaimed, and at this time, all kinds of beans are planted in the wheat fields, in addition to fertilizing the fields, some beans can also be harvested before autumn sowing.

Of course, the rice fields are planted with rice, and you can see the busy crowds in the fields, all dressed up like the people of Shoushan Village, they sprinkle fertilizer, use agricultural fertilizer and phosphate fertilizer as base fertilizer, and then soak the field and harrow the ground after fertilization, and finally plant seedlings.

This method is a full-layer fertilization method, the fertilizer is stable, the fertilizer effect is long, because the fertilizer is evenly distributed in the tillage layer, it can make the rice root system deeply rooted and increase nutrient absorption.

Of course, although phosphate fertilizer is a crop treasure, it does not mean that the more the better, too much will burn the seedlings.

Yang He comprehensively considered the attraction capacity of the soil at this time, such as rice seedlings, and only temporarily sowed a few catties per mu.

In later generations, paddy fields with a yield of 500 kilograms per mu needed 11 catties of phosphate fertilizer per mu, and Yanghe first applied it with a yield of 100 kilograms per mu.

He calculated in his heart that the local rice is planted in the middle and bottom of May of the lunar calendar, and it can be harvested in the second half of the ninth lunar month, or the beginning of October, and the yield per mu in his mind is one stone to five buckets of one stone.

First stabilize, and then slowly increase the yield per mu, over time, in the case of good water conservancy, high-quality fertilizer, may not be able to reach the ability of three stones per mu of rice in the extremely mature fields in the south of the Yangtze River.

Of course, after all, it is the north of the Yangtze River, and the land climate cannot be compared with the south of the Yangtze River, Yang He feels that after a few years of rice field management under his rule in the future, the production capacity of rice per mu will reach the point of two stones and three hundred and seventy catties, and he will be satisfied.

Looking at this area, there is green everywhere, and more than half of the fields where seedlings have been planted.
