Chapter 116: Yuncheng Harvest

Sun Li is here, and this face has to be given. Seeing that the fight could not be completed, Sun Li asked Chao Gai and others to withdraw the soldiers as soon as possible, after all, it was a problem with the guest soldiers, and it was more troublesome.

Chao Gai said: "It's no problem to retreat, I just have a small request." ”

"What are the requirements, just mention Chao Tuanlian." Sun Lidao.

Chao Gai said: "That bastard boy laughed at my brother and asked him to come and apologize to my brother." ”

Sun Li was very embarrassed, Lu Sangongzi was notoriously arrogant, and even if he reluctantly agreed, he would inevitably cause trouble in the future.

Sun Li looked at Gu's sister-in-law and said, "Brother and sister, persuade Chao to practice, this is not worth fighting with that kid for this little thing." ”

Sister-in-law Gu thought about it for a while, after all, this Sun Li is her husband's brother, and she still has to give face. immediately said to Chao Gai: "Brother, this kid surnamed Lu is arrogant, and it is easy for him to apologize, that is, he is looking for teeth all over the ground when he beats him, but he can't fight now, I don't think it's better like this, let's withdraw first, and then settle accounts with him when we have a chance in the future, how about it?" ”

Chao Gai sighed: "Okay, then let's retreat." ”

Bian Xiang was on alert, and the two sides retreated together, but Lu Sangongzi didn't have the courage to play tricks, and the two sides retreated together, and the streets that were originally full of gunpowder became deserted in an instant. This fight was also unprecedented in Dengzhou, and the two sides dispatched thousands of people, including family members, ruffians, soldiers, and government officials, but on the whole no more than 30 people were slightly injured, mainly a group of Ding San and his brothers who rushed up, who were injured by Shi Jin and Shi Xiu.

On the way to retreat, I happened to meet Zou Run and Zou Yuan, who came to help, and these two people also brought dozens of people to come. Seeing Chao Gai, he said: "We have a long way to go, and when we hear the news, you will leave." ”

"Haha, it's not too late at all, it's good to have this heart, go back to drink." Chao Gai said. Zou Run and Zou Yuan are half black and white, and it is not easy to dare to come to the city.

Ding San's teeth were knocked out several times, and his brother was injured by dozens, originally hoping to get some rewards from Lu Sangongzi if he won the battle, but who knew that it didn't work out, and the two sides retreated, it is said that Lu Tiannan was furious, Lu Sangongzi was locked up at home, and Ding San didn't even get compensation from a big son.

Gu sister-in-law hotel, Gu sister-in-law treated, you have to invite everyone to drink, but it is difficult to drink a little, but Zou Run, Zou Yuan and others drank more, the next morning, Chao Gai and others left by boat with the caravan, this time to Dengzhou to clear the bandits is a victory, but because of this operation also offended two people. One is the Dengzhou Sailor, the relationship between the Dengzhou Sailor and the pirate Heishazi is inexplicable, saying that they didn't collude with the fool don't believe it, and if a coastal pirate didn't collude with the imperial court sailor, he wouldn't have survived for long at all. The other one is Lu Sangongzi, because of the fight with Chao Gai in the teahouse, Lu Sansan, lost face, and the people of Dengzhou knew that he was deflated, and he was bullied by an outsider, and hundreds of people were dispatched to save face. What was even more annoying was that he was slapped twice by his father for mobilizing shield soldiers without permission, and he was grounded for a month at the same time. This is a lot of torture for Lu San, who loves to be lively and playful, and because of this, Lu Sangongzi's hatred for Chao Gai is increasing day by day.

Eight days later, the flotilla returned to Yuncheng and was warmly welcomed. Of course, the pomp is very small, limited to their own family members within the group training.

Wu Yong, Zhu Wu, Gongsun Sheng, Liu Liang, Xu Hai and others, Liu Liang was the most excited.

"Owner, this expedition is of great significance, and I suggest setting up a monument." Liu Liang said.

"That's why, it's just a one-time bandit." Chao Gai asked.

"Brother is not clear, there have been dozens of businessmen united to invest 100,000 yuan to clean up the black sand pirates, but unfortunately the people are not united and there is no general to lead the never succeeded, this time my brother succeeded in clearing out a trade route for the merchants, so that the business exchanges between Liaodong and Goryeo will be more frequent." Liu Liang said.

Wu Yong said: "Wouldn't that be robbing us of business, I would have left this black sand pirate if I knew it, anyway, we have a naval guard, and they don't dare to move." ”

Chao Gai smiled: "Haha, my Wu Junshi, business should be done together, but it is not good to do it alone." ”

"Haha, I've prepared a banquet for my brother, and please go back to the table." Wu Yong said with a smile.

When the troops returned, they were still trained separately. This expedition to the Navy Army, the Mountain Platoon, Shi Jin, Shi Xiu, Yang Chun, Chen Da and others have all made more or less great or small contributions, and they are not a problem in the credit book. Although the bandits did not erect a monument to commemorate the crackdown on bandits this time, as Liu Liang said, they also compiled the entire operation into a book for future reference.

The arrival of winter has also achieved a bumper harvest in winter, and various industries such as fish farming, goose farming, duck farming, and chicken farming in Yuncheng rice fields are basically bumper harvests. As for horses, cattle, sheep, mules, etc., they are all large animals, and their development is relatively slow, and there is no good harvest.

Nguyen Thia Village, Fishing Ground.

Ruan Ying commanded three more stalls to buy fish, but they were still full. In this way, six stalls were purchased, three were purchased for fresh fish, and three were purchased for dried fish. Even so, the people selling fish in front of each stall still lined up like a long line, but everyone was not in a hurry, chatting and waiting.

In autumn, the water in the paddy fields dries up, and many families start harvesting fish after harvesting rice. In the summer, about ten catties of fish fry were put on one acre of land, but I didn't expect to be able to harvest so much in late autumn. However, in late autumn, the temperature is still high, and it is very easy to damage without preservation measures, so the harvest season is postponed to winter. Anyway, there is a deep pit in the rice field, and there is water in it, and I am not afraid that the fish will dry up and die.

Recently, the weather has been getting colder, and the dripping water has turned into ice, and it is just time to harvest the fish. The whole Yuncheng is boiling, and the average yield per mu of small carp, crucian carp and grass carp is as much as 100 catties. The average yield per mu of loach is as much as seventy or eighty catties. Many people are very happy, pay back the fish fry money, and the remaining fish are all marinated and dried, ready to be eaten during the New Year's holiday. There are also many families who have more than 10 acres of rice and fish farming area, and the output is too much, so they must be sold, which is why there is such a scene of queuing.

There are two kinds of fish purchased, one is live fish, mainly small crucian carp, small carp, loach, etc., which are not large. After this kind of fish is purchased, it is still stored in the fish pond, and then sold when it is raised, and the price is cheap anyway. There is also dried fish, which is dried by ordinary people in their homes with earthen dryers. This dried fish is more particular, according to the color of the purchase, the good color will be sold as edible dried fish, as for the poor color will be dried again, and then crushed into fishmeal, fishmeal is mainly used as feed.

Yuncheng's dried fish, especially the dried small crucian carp and small loach dried fish are very popular in Kaifeng, Health, Yingtian, Hangzhou, Yangzhou and other places, and the merchant ships that come to pull goods are also endless, forming a situation of booming purchase and sales, and the commercial tax has also increased a lot.

Shi Wenbin's face was full of red light, and he was very happy to inspect the fishing ground in Ruanjia Village, which is a real political achievement, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Yuncheng is the land of fish and rice, and 450 percent of the people in Yuncheng raise fish at home, and almost 100 percent of the people can afford to eat fish.

Ruan Ying said happily: "How about it, Lord County Order, will this rice field fish farming area be promoted next year?" ”

"It should be promoted, and it should be vigorously promoted, and fish should be raised wherever there are rice fields. This year, not only did we harvest more fish, but we also harvested more rice. It seems that what Chao Tuanlian said is indeed right, the fish eat the insects and weeds in the rice field, and at the same time, the fish manure fertilizes the rice field to form a good situation. Shi Wenbin said happily.

Not only is the rice field fish farming harvest, but also the goose farm to breed the big white goose has a bumper harvest, now the water surface began to freeze, the grass is gone, leaving only 20,000 breeding geese, the other more than 100,000 geese have to be transported to sell. Considering that the price of so many geese on the market will be reduced, Liu Liang plans to sell 40,000 or 50,000 geese a month to several large cities, and it took two months to complete the sales one after another. At the same time, there are a lot of geese and ducks raised by the villagers near Shuibo Liangshan, although there are dozens of foreign traders to buy, but most of them are small traders, and the sales volume is very small. Liu Liang decided to make smoked goose and smoked duck with reference to the dryer model of grilled fish. After slaughter, the white goose is first pickled, and then smoked and air-dried to become cured meat, so that it can be preserved for a longer time and sold farther away. Even large goose feathers are left as materials for feather arrow processing, and goose down and duck down are used to process into high-end warm clothing, known as down jackets. The warmth is very good, comparable to the animal skins of the north.

Yuncheng people never thought that Yuncheng would be so rich, even the mountain market is full of chickens and ducks and other delicacies, in the past ordinary people who are willing to eat these, this year is very different, but where the family has spare money, they are not allowed to buy a few chickens to stew and eat.

There are not many chickens raised by the people in the vicinity, except for the chickens raised in individual mountain farms, the general farmers are twenty or thirty, all of them eat grass and eat insects in the barren mountains and fields all day long, the meat is fragrant and delicious.

Chao Gai's own chickens have almost fifty or sixty thousand chickens that can be slaughtered, Li Qingzi has been busy preparing for sale recently, but Liu Liang said that geese and ducks have to be sold because they can't graze in the cold weather, but the chickens are different, the food is still relatively sufficient, and they are raised to lay eggs. They are all sold together, and it is certain that the price will decline in the listing concentration, so I plan to raise and lay eggs, and leave them for sale in the spring or summer of next year.

Although it is cold, the team training must not be cold. The large-scale winter military training is in full swing, and the troops have a new training program.
