Jin Ding immediately said: "Okay, it's decided." Wait for me to set off tomorrow, rescue the Leng Ning brothers and come to Chao Tuan Lian together, although my Leng Ning brothers are not as strong as me, but their kung fu is also quite powerful, proficient in hand-to-hand fighting, and their fists are very sharp. ”

"As long as it conforms to the selection rules of our Yuncheng group training, the more the merrier. Also, in the nearby villages of the Jinding Brothers, all those with good skills can be recruited, and ordinary soldiers have a consistent monthly salary, clothes and armor all year round, and life is not to mention. If you can upgrade to an officer, the military salary will be many times more, of course, in the Yuncheng regimental training, I don't care how high the military salary is, but whether it is a soldier or an officer, you Wen Zhongrong and Cui Ye from Luquan Village have already come here to serve as soldiers. Chao Gai said.

When Jin Ding heard this, he immediately said: "So good, Hebei Duohaojie, I still know some friends in the martial arts circle, I will ask them when I go back, and I will introduce them if I want to come." ”

Green vegetables and mutton, please eat a full meal, but the wine is very little, Wu Song is a little dissatisfied, Chao Gai knows that it will be like this, Wu Song is a big wine basket, every wine will be drunk. Immediately, Chao Gai and Yan Yuese said: "Brother Wu Song didn't drink enough, it's not that my brother doesn't want to accompany you, the main reason is that there are regulations in the team, it is strictly forbidden to drink alcohol during working hours, and it is strictly forbidden to drink alcohol during non-working hours. On weekdays, there are three to four days off per month, so you can drink as much as you like during the holidays. It's not a holiday now, so naturally my brother can't drink more with you. ”

Wu Song scratched his head and said: "I understand what my brother meant, I said that Li Kui never wants to get drunk every time he drinks." ”

Lu Fang smiled: "He's afraid of spanking." ”

After eating, Chao Gai wrote a letter to Chai Jin and asked Jin Ding to take it. Jin Ding and Wu Song went back to the guest room to rest, but Chao Gai was not so good, and Lu Fang returned to the barracks with his personal guards. The lights in Liu Tang's barracks were still on, Chao Gai walked over and knocked on the door of Liu Tang's barracks, Liu Tang said, "Please come in." ”

Chao Gai pushed the door in, and Liu Tang said: "It turned out to be my brother, I haven't rested so late." ”

"Yes, I went to invite the man from Hebei who I found during the day to dinner, and I just came back." Chao Gai said, "You haven't slept yet, what are you studying?" ”

I saw that there were crooked words on the table, Liu Tang was practicing writing, Liu Tang was born poor, he wandered around when he was young, and he didn't recognize the big words.

Liu Tang said: "If you practice calligraphy, you can't be a good officer if you don't have culture." I have a thin foundation, and I work overtime at night to practice. ”

"Hehe, that's good. Look at the art of war when you're fine, but pay attention to rest and don't stay up too late. Tomorrow I will preside over the referee work, tomorrow will be mainly you and Luan Tingyu, I am busy, the plan of the year lies in the spring, food is always the top priority, now is the time for Tianwang cotton to sow seeds, I want to go to the field to see, you have to worry more about the ring. ”

Liu Tang smiled: "Brother, don't worry. ”

Wu Yong presided over the overall situation, and the main people who were sent to him were officials and rich people. You're going to focus on identifying some talent and see if you can get them to stay. Those who have similar martial arts and good morals are fine. Chao Gai patiently arranged, "These people may be reused, and they may even be in a position better than yours." ”

Liu Tang said: "Liu Tang was a stray dog before I met my brother, my brother regarded Liu Tang as a brother, Liu Tang's life was my brother's, how could I care about what position." ”

"Okay, you will stay at the inn tomorrow, remember to communicate with them more, and rely on feelings to keep people. No matter how much money you have, there is a time when it runs out, and feelings are the most important thing. Chao Gai said.

Liu Tang nodded and said that he understood, Liu Tang was good at martial arts and swordsmanship, and there was almost no talent to learn, but Chao Gai valued Liu Tang very much, Liu Tang was not highly qualified, but he was studious and could endure hardships, of course, the most important point was to be loyal to Chao Gai.

Early the next morning, Jin Ding finished washing, packed up the package, wrapped the packets of medicine prescribed by the doctor yesterday, and put the autographed letter written by Chao Gai to Chai Jin into his arms. Then I told my buddy that I was going to rush to Cangzhou when I got out of the guest inn and rescued my good friend Leng Ning as soon as possible.

As soon as I went out, I happened to see Chao Gai and Lu Fang coming, and Lu Fang was also pulling a horse in his hand, which was a jujube red horse, long and strong, and it still looked very powerful.

Chao Gai said from a distance: "Brother Jinding got up so early, I almost couldn't catch up." ”

Jin Ding was very surprised and said, "Could it be that my brother came to see me off." ”

Lu Fang said: "It's not good, my brother and I rushed over from the barracks early in the morning. ”

"I know you're eager to save your friend and are in a hurry to leave, so I specially prepared some things." Chao Gai said and pulled the reins of the horse, "There are many plains in Hebei, presumably you can also ride a horse, this horse has strong endurance, and it is suitable for long roads." There were a few pieces of clothing, two pairs of cloth shoes, and a dozen taels of broken silver. In the other package, there are dozens of flatbreads, which are kept for when you can't find an inn on the road to satisfy your hunger. Also, there's a waist card for you too. ”

Chao Gai said, handed a waist card to Jin Ding, only to see that it said Tianya Inn, for members, the waist card made of brass is still very exquisite.

"Here's how it's used." Jin Ding asked.

"The road to Cangzhou is not close, and you can go to the store to stay when you meet Tianya Inn on the road, and you only need to take out this waist card to get a 50% discount price. You must know that Tianya Inn itself is not expensive, and it is already very cheap if it is 5% off. Chao Gai said.

Jin Ding put away the waist card, took the horse, tears rolled directly in his eyes, and immediately said: "My brother knows me, even if it's only two days today, you believe me so much, isn't my brother afraid that I won't come back after riding a horse?" ”

Chao Gai said: "If the Jinding brothers don't come back, there must be something unspeakable, how can I be reluctant." It's already dawn, I know you are eager to save people, hurry up, be careful on the way, don't go to some suspicious remote shops. ”

"Thank you, brother." Jin Ding thanked him, and then led the horse away, Chao Gai suddenly said: "Brother, slow down." ”

"Brother, what's the matter?" Jin Ding asked.

Chao Gai took out a short mountain knife from his waist and said: "There are a lot of beasts on Shandong Road, although this mountain knife is short, but the steel mouth is very good, you can keep it on the road to defend yourself." ”

"Thank you, brother." Jin Ding took the knife, turned over his horse, and walked away.

ran out for a long distance, Jin Ding wiped the tears on his face, how difficult the world is, how many years have been living like this, this martial arts is not unthinking of finding someone to run to, but most of them are unsatisfactory. There are more people who know how to do martial arts.

Sent away Jinding, Chao Gai watched the fist and foot game for a while in the morning, today is still a fist and foot game, six in the morning, six in the afternoon, most of the skills left are good, so the time of each game is much longer than yesterday, and it is not so easy to distinguish the winner and loser.

Chao Gai said to Wu Yong, Liu Tang, Luan Tingyu and others, and then took Lu Fang back to Chaojiazhuang, north of Chaojiazhuang, thousands of refugees recruited by Qingzhou were busy, digging the ground one by one with pickaxes, taking away the roots of stones and shrubs in the soil, and then ploughing the ground with oxen.

The 3,000 acres of land has already taken shape, Liu Youtian saw that Chao Gai was coming, and walked over and said: "Owner, the reclamation of these 3,000 acres of land is a bit laborious, there is too much sand and gravel here, it is more suitable for planting trees, mulberry trees or fruit trees, and the yield of planting Tianwang cotton may not be high." ”

Chao Gai sighed: "Tianwang rice breeding needs 40,000 to 50,000 acres of land, Tianwang cotton also needs at least 20,000 acres of arable land, as well as peanuts, Chaotian peppers, and all kinds of fruit seedlings, which require a lot of land. Last year, we only contracted 40,000 acres of land in Jeju and Ren counties, plus 10,000 acres of our own, and the gap in land is very large. ”

Liu Youtian also understands Chao Gai's distress, it is difficult to find it.

"Our Jeju is too densely populated, almost everything that can be reclaimed has been reclaimed, and the rest is too difficult, so why don't the owners focus on reclaiming overseas islands. Send me over. Liu Youtian said.

"Boats, there are too few boats." Chao Gai sighed.

In fact, there are ships in the Great Song Dynasty, and there are many sea ships, but the purchase price is fiercely expensive, after all, sea ships are high-end products. Hire a boat to go over to Chaogai and not want people to see his island, after all, the fewer people who know, the safer.

Liu Youtian still has experience in arranging land, and he has a decent way of clearing up wasteland. Ten acres of a piece, there is a field road, next to the road is a canal, the canal can not only provide water for watering, but also drain water when it rains.

Chao Gai grabbed a handful of soil and put it in the palm of his hand to look at it carefully, and next to him Liu Youtian asked, "What is the owner looking at?" ”

"I'm looking at this soil, it's actually very good soil, as long as the fertility keeps up to ensure a good harvest. You and Li Qingzi must communicate well, the crop straw Tianwang rice straw, peanut seedlings are taken to raise sheep and cattle, and the cattle and sheep are turned into cow dung and sheep dung after eating and then returned to the ground, so that a virtuous circle is formed, with a bumper grain yield and fat livestock. Chao Gai said.

Liu Youtian said: "That's what I'm doing now, but Li Qingzi also said that the scale of cattle and sheep breeding should not be too large, cattle and sheep are afraid of infectious diseases, the scale is too large, and it is difficult to prevent and control once the disease occurs." ”

"Well, this year, we should encourage the people of the county to raise more horses, cattle, sheep and pigs." Chao Gai said. Chao Gai also inspected the waterwheel and other irrigation tools, the scale of the Limin Wood Factory is now very large, the scale of hundreds of craftsmen, from last autumn to this spring has been committed to the production of all kinds of waterwheels, overturns, pressurized wells, and other irrigation tools. Chao Gai's own fields and farms are sufficient, and all the excess is sold in commercial banks, and farmers who cannot afford to buy them can also buy them on credit or in installments.

In the whole of Yuncheng County, due to the increase in large livestock such as cattle, horses, and mules, as well as the popularization of irrigation tools such as waterwheels, agriculture has shown a thriving direction. Although the spring drought is still severe, most of the wheat has been irrigated, and there is no big problem with a bumper summer grain harvest.

Herding chickens and locusts in other places is still not popular, many magistrates are good scars and forget the pain, and only Ren County, Jinxiang, Juye, Yuncheng four counties are very popular, all over the mountains can see chickens running around eating grasshoppers.
