When I got up in the morning, there was already a vast expanse outside, and I thought the snow was very thick, but when I went out, I found that it was a thin layer, and the light snow was still falling, but it didn't melt.

Datong area facing the north wind blowing from the grassland, has always been cold very fast, the villagers have added clothes, Zhu Da also put on cotton clothes, although the cotton clothes have a lot of patches, but it is quite neat, he remembers that at this time in previous years, even if he wore cotton clothes, he felt very cold, but now it is a lot stronger, the sufficient supply of protein and fat and exercise add up, and the ability to withstand the cold is naturally greatly improved.

Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun just entered the courtyard of Xiang's house, and before they could start practicing martial arts, Li He ran in behind, after yesterday, the relationship between everyone has become much closer, Li He said with a smile: "Zhu Da, my father shouted that you had something, and said that if you two didn't have breakfast, they would go over to eat together." ”

There is no reason not to go to the general flag call, the two of them followed Li He together, and when they entered the yard, they met their mother-in-law and aunt in the village who were accompanying Li Chunhua, and the little girl who was arrogant before saw Zhu Da and ran to the side, looking at it very curiously, thinking that the poor boy's family valued it so much in the past.

The mother-in-law was also full of surprise, she didn't expect that Zhu Da was like an official guest at Mr. Li's house at a young age, and it was actually Li He who invited him in the past, what a big face, and when he went back, he must talk to his family.

Zhu Da nodded and said hello to the mother-in-law, but their thoughts diverged, it is said that women and their relatives attach great importance to the name and honor in these years, but these women in the village are also very calm when they are on an errand in the Li family, and there is very little discussion about the three roads outside, it seems that the Li family is doing quite decent, I don't know what to do elsewhere.

There was a faint snoring sound in the side room, and Li He also turned around and explained: "The two cousins came back yesterday afternoon and followed my father to patrol the night at night, so they went to sleep, and it was very hard. ”

There are only two people in the hall, Li Zongqi and Li Ying, Li Ji's face is haggard and tired, and he hasn't slept all night, breakfast is still on the table and has not been removed, when Zhu Da entered the door, Li Ji was talking to his son, and when he saw them coming in, he motioned for them to sit down, and Li Ying also smiled and added two bowls to them.

Breakfast is multigrain porridge, cakes and pickles, Li Zongqi's family is not a brocade food, but the food is better, and it can be eaten in large quantities.

"The thieves can only toss in our guard, because our hundreds of villages are a plate of scattered sand, why don't they go to the local villages, because there are many clans over there, and they touch one family, one clan and one clan come out, what are the dozen thieves doing, but our guard, one family is one family, and they can still go into battle more than a hundred years ago, but now they are all small households farming, and they can't get together, so the thieves are naturally not afraid."

He just reasoned to his son, Zhu Da and they did not shy away from educating together, when the meaning of his own juniors, Zhou Qingyun was interested in having another bowl, and Zhu Da listened very carefully.

"The Tuntian of the Weisu is a fixed number, a family is just such a piece of land, only the eldest son can have a seed, and the other brothers can't afford to raise it, and when they are older, they will drive out to find food, and some of the grandparents and parents are reluctant, and as a result, a piece of land is not enough for the whole family to eat, so we have no everyone, just a small household, dare not have more children, dare not have more sons, and drown directly, do evil!"

Led the young and strong patrol in the village all night, and he didn't sleep until now, he was extremely tired, Li Zongqi is in this state Zhu Da understands that it is somewhat similar to drunkenness, people are excited and relaxed and confused, and often say some feelings that they don't say on weekdays.

Zhu Da benefited a lot from these words just now, this era has many children and many blessings, but there are almost no more than three children in Baibao Village, in this situation of barely enough food and clothing, it is said that he will let go of life, he has not thought too much about this direction, today Li Zongqi's emotion made Zhu Da suddenly enlightened, it turned out to be like this.

Weisuo Tuntian is a fixed number, each family's field is also a fixed number, only one male in the family can be a soldier, this field will also be inherited, if you want to divide the family, it is estimated that the above will not be blocked, as long as the taxes paid remain unchanged, but the more people who divide the family, the less land each person has, the more difficult it is to eat a full stomach, in order to ensure survival, it is necessary to have as few children as possible, although infanticide is cruel, but it is better than growing up and not being able to support or the whole family is destitute and bankrupt, this experience must be accumulated from countless painful lessons.

But such a hundred households do not have any cohesion, since the military households do not use the guard to fight, the military households are already pure long-term tenants, each family grows their own land, and there is no blood relationship, and there is no daily exercise, small families and small households take care of themselves, and the top only cares about collecting money and food, and if they can't organize it, then everything is not mentioned.

"There is such a big case in Xiama Village, have the two families not moved after they entered the thief? must have shouted and cried, and the neighbors around heard it, but none of them took care of it, it is said that ah, the people who were smoked did not dare to take care of it, and the people who were not smoked were counting on others to take care of it, Zhu Da, you will definitely have a future in the future, and your mention of sharing money and food has made us a hundred households...... This group of thieves, I went to Huairen's side to find out, in the middle of the night the dog barking more than a dozen hundred households have encountered, these thieves and dogs are wondering where to start, our village is lucky! ”

Listening to Li Zongqi's emotion, Zhu Da could imagine the scene of the neighboring village that night, everyone felt that it was none of their business, and they all felt that as long as they shrank their heads, they would be fine, but no matter what happened this time, it would fall on their own heads next time.

"Lord Zongqi, I don't have much credit, if you hadn't knocked the bangzi that night, the thieves might have rushed in, and if it wasn't for Brother Li knocking the bangzi the night before, the risk in our village would be very great." Zhu Da said very seriously.

In any case, the Li family's father and son are responsible, and they have at least the mind to serve the public, otherwise many things would not be done now.

As soon as he said this, Li Zongqi and Li Ying were both happy, and everyone was willing to listen to the praise, not to mention that this was not flattery out of thin air, Zongqi Li Ji said with a smile: "Zhu Da, I also watched you grow up, we are all a family, don't see each other in the future, just call me Uncle Li, as for this Li Ying and Li He, it's good for you to call your brother, but don't think you two can be brothers, ask Xiaoda more about anything, he understands better than you." ”

"Uncle Li, Qingyun is my brother."

"Yes, yes, Qingyun, you can also call me Li Bo, and I will have more dealings with Li Ying and Li He in the future."

Zhou Qingyun couldn't distinguish the distance from this kind of speech, so he just agreed in a muffled voice while drinking porridge and eating cakes.

Over there, Li Zongqi yawned, shook his head and said: "A few of you eat first, it's not enough to do it again, Xiaoda, last night I took people to patrol, and the twenty people came out, and the spear that was reassigned was useless, but the crops were not easy to use, and it was useless for the thieves to come in, so I always thought of a way." ”

This is the purpose of calling himself, Zhu Da smiled bitterly in his heart, not because of this problem, but because he felt that Baibao Village was so dilapidated, Li Zongqi had no choice but to find himself when he asked someone to consult, then again, he was not wrong to find himself, and other people in the village really would not have any good ideas.

But Zhu Da also knows that this Li Zongqi is also a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and he is just trying his luck, but his luck is indeed good.

"General Banner ...... Uncle Li, the spear in my nephew's house is also tattered and unusable, but the tip of the iron spear is rusty and cannot be used, so it is better to get a wooden pole and sharpen the head of the pole to poke people. Juda had an idea.

In this era, a lot of knowledge and skills are monopolized by certain classes and families, but in those more than 20 years, books, magazines, and related information on the Internet are vast, as long as you want to understand, you will find it, and everyone is not afraid of any problem, you can follow and say a few words, and Zhu Da naturally has the corresponding knowledge reserves.

Hearing this answer, Li Zongqi was a little disappointed on his face, shook his head and said: "It's not very useful to sharpen it, it will be blocked if it is worn thicker, and it will be broken by a knife, I will think of a way, it turns out that there are still some old knives and guns in the guard house that can be given, and now I have to buy them myself." ”

Everyone was concentrating, but when they heard this answer, they felt very ordinary, thinking that this was no different from holding a stick, and they could think of this idea themselves.

Zhu Da smiled there and added: "Uncle Li, the sharpened stick can be roasted with fire, which will become hard, and the little nephew has also heard that it is more useful to soak the pointed end in dung water and then roast." ”

When it comes to dirty things at breakfast, everyone has a look of disgust on their faces, but Li Zongqi was stunned, but the whole person stayed there, the wooden stick will indeed become harder after being sharpened and baked, if it is punctured and scratched after being contaminated with fecal water, the wound will spread to the whole body, and the damage is not small, this method is simple, but I never thought of it, but anyone can understand the truth.

"It's really easy to use......"

"Uncle Li, everyone must get together, a long pole thief is not afraid, if dozens of people get together, the thief soldier can't help it." Zhu Da added.

This truth is also simple, everyone can figure it out, the more you think about it, the more you think this method is easy to use, Li Zongqi pondered, got up directly from his seat, stared at Zhu Da and said: "Lao Xiang actually knows this, and he actually taught you this, he is really bold." ”

Zhu Da scratched his head, hehe smiled and did not refute, Xiang Bo was born in the army, and some things in the art of war will naturally be associated with him, of course, people in this era can't think of it, the art of war tactics that they think are confidential and important can be seen everywhere in that era, and there are all kinds of professional and unprofessional analysis, so that everyone who wants to know can understand enough.

"Okay, you still have to practice to know, Xiaoda, that Qingyun, you two will eat at home at noon, Ah Da, let your mother prepare a few good dishes."

The room was quiet again, and the two Li brothers looked at Zhu Da dumbfounded, thinking to themselves why their father valued Zhu Da so much, what happened, what was worth so much attention?

"Thank you Uncle Li, there is no need for noon, Qingyun and I are going to pick up Master, Master should be able to arrive at noon."
