Out of the gate, the corners of Li Kui's eyes were a little moist, and Bao Xu next to him asked, "Li Kui, what's wrong with you?" ”

Li Kui said: "Ghost weather, wind and sand."

Bao Xu looked up at the sky, there was no cloud and no wind, where did the wind and sand come from.

Although the scale of the people's spontaneous send-off this time is not large, but it has a great impact on Li Kui and Bao Xu, Yuncheng regimental training military regulations are strict, but not everyone can understand, people love to take advantage of the nature of the nature, who doesn't like to buy things when giving less money, especially when they are big soldiers in these years, they always like to take the people's things? Therefore, people like Li Kui and Bao Xu still don't understand the rules of not taking things from the common people and buying and selling fairly, but Chao Gai doesn't care if he understands it or not, military regulations are military regulations. The reason why Li Kui and Bao Xu and others interrupted the time was very good was mainly because the income was good, not bad money, Chao Gai was worried that they would make mistakes and occasionally give them some pocket money, so they were obedient. But today, the two of them have thoroughly understood, it turns out that as long as you do a good job of abiding by military regulations and completing your duties as a soldier, the people's love for you is sincere and sincere.

Jingcheng County Yamen, who came back, reported the matter to the county master Su County Order, and Su County Commander asked: "Li Dutou and Bao Dutou are very anxious, and I didn't have time to send them, and the order is okay." ”

"The order is in order, the barracks are very well packed, the only thing is that when they go out of the city, they don't know how the people know the news, so they have to see them off, giving eggs, pancakes and other things." Soap Li said.

Su Xian Ling smiled: "See, how lovely our people are, as long as they are a little bit kind to them, they will know." Li Dutou, have they all received it? ”

Soap Li said: "Li Dutou they didn't accept it, they said that there were regulations that didn't allow them to be accepted." ”

Su Xianling was a little unhappy, and waved his hand to let Soap Li out. Su Xian Ling got up and walked around the study, and sighed: "What kind of person is this Chao Gai, who can train two such fierce people, and can not be greedy for small profits, and there must be a big plan if you don't want small profits." ”

After thinking for a while, he said, "Xiaoxiong, Xiaoxiong, it's too dangerous, it's better not to get close." ”

After a while, the master arrived and reported: "My lord, the first batch of 50 poor households in the county government to give free Tianwang rice seeds have arrived, and I don't know when the adults will arrange technical training." ”

Su Xian Ling patted his head and sighed: "If you don't get on the thief ship, it's not easy to go down." ”

The master said, "My lord, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Although the development of Tianwang rice is of great benefit to the county's agriculture, it also brings us to Yuncheng Tuanlian, and sometimes this relationship is not clear once it is pulled." Su Xian Ling sighed.

The master is all from Su County, and he is also an old fritter in the officialdom, so he immediately said: "It's okay, let's just say that the seed firm has no seeds, let the people who come to train go back." ”

Su County ordered: "That's even worse, a household is only two catties of seeds, when you officially mix a good official reputation, if you don't give it at this time, everyone will think that I, the county order, is not credible, and it will be carried out as usual, and the official will personally go to train everyone." ”

Tianwang rice planting technology is not complicated, it is nothing more than ploughing the land, sowing time, plant row spacing, cultivating and weeding, timely harvesting, such a few pieces of content, Su County ordered to plant for a year, not to mention that he knows the seed, there is a detailed sowing manual when selling Tianwang rice seeds, or a picture book, so it is not difficult to understand.

Not to speed up the county order how to carry out the follow-up work in Jingcheng County, just said that Li Kui Bao Xu led the team back to Zhending Mansion on the same day, Li Kui complained: "Brother, we are fighting hard, why did you call us back at this time." ”

Chao Gai was playing chess with Gongsun Sheng, and when he heard Li Kui's words, he took a leisurely sip of tea and said, "I'm not in a hurry to let you go back for the Mid-Autumn Festival, who is that, Zhang Da girl, she said, if you deliberately don't go back for the Mid-Autumn Festival, he won't let you in." ”

When Li Kui heard Zhang Da Ya, he lost his temper and sighed: "Okay, good, I can't go back." ”

Gongsun Sheng said: "Just when you were recruiting troops to train to fight bandits, Ma Ling had already recruited fifty workers to start building the Jingcheng Limin Woodware Factory, and at the same time, the mountain platoon led by Bian Xiang, Xie Zhen, and Xie Bao supplemented the source of troops, and escorted one hundred and fifty captives into the deep mountains of Jingcheng County to open up a logging field, preparing to cut wood, so as to facilitate the provision of raw materials for the wood factory. Even the stables of the horse farm have been built and surveyed, and it is ready to start as soon as the manpower and horses are in place. The people from the restaurant also came, and the high-end restaurant was not found for a while, but there were two ordinary restaurants opened, and there was also a Tianya Inn. ”

Li Kui said: "This matter is really busy, it's time to go back, but this time I offended Tian Hu and left Brother Ma Ling, so I'm really not at ease." ”

"Tie Niu has made great progress recently, and there are many problems to consider, but you don't have to worry, I discussed countermeasures with Gongsun Junshi and Ma Ling, and built this big courtyard into a government-run post station, and undertook the recruitment of Yuncheng County Industrial Park in Zhending Mansion, which has been filed in the Yamen of Zhending Mansion. Let's equip the Ma Ling brothers with twenty soldiers with knives to be responsible for the security of the post station, and the restaurant is not far from here, so you can support at any time if there is something, and Cangzhou Chai Daguan's mansion will also open a business near the post station in the near future. Chao Gai said.

Li Kui said: "Okay, then let's go back quickly." ”

Of course, these are all on the surface, and secretly, the intelligence department in charge of Li Han has set up an office in Zhending, and arranged for more than a dozen capable personnel to be responsible for intelligence collection and investigation.

Tian Hu is not a tiger, as long as the intelligence work is in place, the strength arranged by Chao Gai may not be afraid of them. The carpentry factory is a factory with a lot of labor, and after the construction is completed, it will have a scale of at least 500 people, and the cohesion of the workers is still very strong in these years.

Early the next morning, Chao Gai, Gongsun Sheng, Pang Wanchun, Jiao Ting, Li Kui, Bao Xu, and the newly joined Feng Sheng, Sun An and their families. The team of more than 100 people, except for the horses and carriages, drove to Yuncheng, and the speed of going back was not slow, traveling a hundred miles a day, after all, they had to take care of some family members who did not often go far away.

When Chao Gai and the others returned to Yuncheng, it was already August 14, and one day would be the Mid-Autumn Festival. As soon as he entered Yuncheng County, the situation was immediately different from other places, and Sun An followed Chao Gai closely on a good horse. Sun An said: "Chao Tuanlian, when I entered Yuncheng, I found that every household here is in Tianwang rice, and the amount of sowing is very large, this thing has not been seen much in Hebei." ”

Next to him, Li Kui said: "You are the same as that Jingcheng County Lingsu County Ling, you are curious about everything you see, this Tianwang rice is delicious, you can cook it, steam it, and make soup." ”

Sun An said: "I see if this is the thing in the porcelain bottle you often eat?" ”

"Which porcelain bottle?" Li Kui asked.

"It's the porcelain bottle with the head of an old lady painted on it, which you usually love to eat." Sun An asked.

Li Kui said: "Oh, it turns out that you said that, that is called Lao Ganniang chili sauce, the main raw material is Chaotian pepper, which is also cultivated by my brother, and the characteristics are just one word, spicy, Chaotian pepper is paired with good peppercorns, soybeans, and rapeseed oil sauce is processed." The taste is excellent, not for me to blow it, this old godmother chili sauce is a necessary condiment for home travel, walking the rivers and lakes, marching and fighting, it tastes good, and I want to eat it. ”

Sun An looked at Li Kui in surprise, and Gongsun Sheng next to him said, "Don't you feel very strange, Li Kui can't say so much in normal times?" ”

"Ah, yes, Li Kui is usually very boring, so I like to talk to Bao Xu." Sun An said.

"Haha, haha." Gongsun Sheng smiled and said nothing.

Chao Gai said: "Because this old godmother chili sauce is produced by my old godmother, Li Kui's old lady and others, the taste is really good, and it is supplied in the barracks, but it is a little more expensive to buy it separately, and it is still supplied to a city like Tokyo on the market, and a can of chili sauce costs 500 Wen." ”

As soon as Chao Gai said this, even Li Kui was surprised: "Brother, are you saying that I eat such a jar of chili sauce for 500 Wen?" That's a pound. ”

"Yes, this is the retail price, and the ex-factory price is not so expensive, more than 400 yuan." Chao Gai said.

Pang Wanchun said: "Such a high price must not be easy to sell, and there are not many rich people among the people now." ”

Chao Gai shook his head and said: "The knowledge of business is very deep, the actual situation is the opposite, now five thousand bottles are shipped every day, and they have to be booked in advance, dealers break their heads, ordinary people have no money, it does not mean that the officials and nobles have no money." ”

Li Kui said: "Yes, so my wife is richer than me?" ”

Chao Gai stretched out his hand and slapped Li Kui: "Look at your little interest, what is money, something outside your body." ”

Li Kui scratched his head: "I'm thinking, my old lady is richer than me, how can I honor her." ”

"When you don't go out to fight, spend more time with her, drink less, and go with her more than anything else." Chao Gai said.

Li Kui nodded yes, and secretly decided to do what his brother told him.

The horses and carriages on the road are gradually increasing, and the flow of people is also more, most of the people who see Chao Gai arch their hands, Chao Gai will also wave and return the salute, the deeper into Yuncheng, the more prosperous, of course, the precautions are also very strict, there are many checkpoints at intersections, and the officials with knives will sample some seemingly suspicious personnel, but most of these officials are very polite and will ask some questions, but there is no control over civilian knives and spears, but such weapons have names and numbers on them, and it is not okay to take other people's weapons indiscriminately.

Feng Shengdao: "As early as when I was in Hebei, I heard that Yuncheng was rich, and it was better than the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River. ”

Li Kui pouted: "What are you talking about, you haven't gone to people's yards to look, when you go to the yard, you will find that every household has chickens and ducks, smoked fish and bacon hanging under the beams, and the grain tank is full of grain." ”

When passing by the trade city and port, the new people in Hebei were surprised again, they had never seen so many ships and so many people.
