It seems that Ruda can't be left in the barracks, Chao Gai asked people to call Luda, who is sweating shirtless and training.

Chao Gai pulled a stool for Ruda and said, "How do you feel, how is the training intensity of our Yuncheng regimental training compared to that of the Western Army." ”

Luda bared his teeth and said: "It's much more tiring than our Western Army, you look at the sweat of the Sprinkle family, the cross-country soldiers who have run ten miles can do it, and the generals of the Sprinkle family can do it." ”

Chao Gai said: "Your physique is fine, you are very strong, but you are a little fat, just practice." When you came, you fought with Yang Zhi in the Trade City, so that someone with a heart found out, worried that Gao Yu would seize the handle, how about I plan to let you avoid the limelight first? ”

Luda said: "Gao Yu's old boy still holds a grudge, didn't he just kick his son." Brother said, where to arrange for the Sprinkle family to go, isn't it to arrange to go to the overseas islands? ”

"Otherwise, there are people arranged on the two big islands overseas, and you won't be able to play any role in the past. If you arrange to go to Cangju Salt Factory, it is not as safe as Jeju. Liangshan Island in Shuiboli is a military horse farm and grain depot, and now there are fifty soldiers guarding it in turn, I will send you another fifty recruits, you go to the island to train soldiers, and at the same time help defend the island, how about it? Chao Gai said.

Luda said: "Okay, the Sprinkle family's experience in fighting is okay, but the training experience is not rich, and let the Sprinkle family take these fifty recruits to train their hands first, just don't practice badly." ”

"Okay, Liangshan Island is a military forbidden place, except for escorting materials, few people come and go, you go to live on the island with peace of mind, and after three or two months, the limelight will pass, and I will arrange for you to have a battalion of soldiers." Chao Gai said.

Luda was overjoyed and said: "A battalion of soldiers is five or six hundred, and the newcomers of the Sprinkle family are afraid that everyone will not accept it." ”

"Your skills are all seen by everyone, not that I deliberately promoted you, this is all deserved."

On the same day, Chao Gai secretly arranged for Luda to take fifty soldiers to Liangshan Island. On the way back, I saw a lot of dry mud on the edge of the water pool.

Chao Gai asked the sailors to row to the sailor, and the sailor division was also busy, patrolling the centipede warship patrol, and practicing the drill.

Chao Xiong and Ruan Xiaoer are not there, but Ruan Xiaowu is here.

"Xiao Wu, my brother has come to see you, how is the patrol recently, I haven't found any suspicious characters." Chao Gai said.

Ruan Xiaowu said: "My brother said that there are really suspicious people, the three islands of Shuibo Liangshan are listed as military restricted areas, and it is strictly forbidden for any fishing to approach, but recently there are always some fishermen who want to sneak over, but fortunately, the patrolling warships found it early." Brother, is there someone who wants to deal with us? ”

"There are too many enemies, I don't know who the opponent is, Liangshan Island is too important, and the patrol boat will be sent tomorrow, and it will definitely not be lost, the water level in my water port has dropped by more than one meter today, has this been the case in previous years?" Chao Gai asked.

Ruan Xiaoer said: "In the spring, the water level dropped sharply. It's just that I feel that this year's spring drought must be severe, and we have to hurry up to fight drought and control locusts. ”

"Xiao Wu has a point, I've been busy with the military recently, and I haven't paid attention to these things, so it seems that I have to check it."

Immediately, Chao Gai took Jiao Ting Luoyun, and a group of three people went ashore and rode horses along the road to check, but there were many grazing chickens and ducks on the edge of the water.

The wheat along the road is turning green, and the people are watering it with manpower or livestock.

went to the county office, Shi Wenbin was not there, and said that he went out early in the morning. Chao Gai also followed out of the city to look for it, and met Shi Wenbin halfway through. Shi Wenbin said: "Chao Tuanlian, I feel that this year's situation is not good, there is no drop of water in February, and now it is March, and now it is a critical moment for wheat growth. ”

Chao Gai nodded: "Drought and locust plagues always like to come together, you hurry up and mobilize the people to fight the drought, we have built many water conservancy projects in Yuncheng a few years ago, and the water is still useful." I went to arrange for the farm to start herding chickens and control locusts. ”

"Alright, let's get started." Shi Wenbin said.

The government decree of Yuncheng County is still very smooth, and the order is given to fight the drought. The large and small waterwheels in the fields began to turn away, and the reservoirs, canals, and waterwheels that had been built with great effort in the past few years finally came in handy.

The most convenient and powerful is the waterwheel, which has a steady stream of water to water the ground. But not all plots are close to the water source, which needs to be pulled by a cart, a donkey cart is only seven or eight hundred catties, a day is only seven or eight thousand catties of water, and some are picked with buckets, but the people are very enthusiastic, and they can charge a little more, which is better than nothing.

Since the total number of chickens and ducks in the whole of Jeju is now very large, it is still easy to control all the locusts for grazing. However, the number of chickens and ducks of ordinary farmers is too small, and they are only concentrated near the village for grazing, which has certain limitations. All large grazing flocks of chickens and ducks are still necessary.

Chao Gai came to the farm to find Li Qingzi, now the farm has a lot of business, poultry is mainly based on hatching, and the chickens and ducks in his own farm are only 200,000.

Chao Gai said: "This year is another drought, worried about locusts everywhere, you recently put other things at hand first, the matter of herding chickens to control locusts, not only our farms to control locusts, other farms with thousands of farms are all grazing and control locusts." ”

Li Qingzi said: "The control of locusts is a big deal, where dare to delay, the owner can rest assured, now there are some chickens grazing, there are still very few locusts in the grass, once this batch of locusts is eaten, their egg production will be very small, and the locust plague will not be able to get up." ”

"That's very good."

Yuncheng is just a county in Jeju, if you want to fight drought and prevent locust plague, you have to take action, Chao Gai immediately went to the prefect Lord Xu, don't look at Lord Xu is not happy to implement low-cost medical care, but he is very active in fighting drought, and immediately said: "I immediately sent a letter to each county and asked the county to take drought fighting and locust prevention as the top priority." In addition, the official will personally go to the field tomorrow to fight the drought. ”

"Adults love the people so much, the blessing of the common people." Chao Gai said.

The next day, Xu Lin, accompanied by Chao Gai, He Tao and other civil and military officials of Jeju Prefecture, came to an arid wheat field on the outskirts, and Xu Lin personally stepped on a waterwheel. Although this waterwheel is equipped with bearings, it is still relatively heavy, after all, Xu Lin is not a worker. It took a lot of effort to step on the water, and the water was kept and the wheat was watered along the canal.

There was applause all around, and the people were also very happy, there were no entertainment activities these days, and it was also a conversation to see the prefect step on the water wheel and go back.

Xu Lin seemed to have a lot of people, and he pulled his neck and said loudly: "Folks, people." Although the weather is a little dry, but we can't wait, we can't rely on, we have to do our own things to fight the drought, only the water keeps up, and after a while the wheat can be harvested. ”

"Whoa, whoa." There was a round of applause around, and the people were still very satisfied, even if they knew that you were putting on a show, but as long as you had the people psychologically, the people would support you.

Jeju has a good foundation, rivers, reservoirs, canals, waterwheels, animal power, etc. are also the most places in the entire Great Song Dynasty, and the people have paid attention to drought fighting, but now the government has said that it will naturally pay more attention to it, and everyone is in full swing to fight drought.

Seeing that March is 3rd, this year's ring competition has not been affected because it is a dry day, but more people have come. There were as many as 10,000 people. The Jeju regiment dispatched a full 1,000 people to maintain order, and Li Yun led hundreds of people to hunt for the fast and was also on standby.

Although there were occasional fights, they were generally good and nothing major happened.

As usual, Xu Lin, Shi Wenbin, Chao Gai and others attended the opening ceremony and delivered important speeches, of course, it is Wu Yong who does things, and Wu Yong's ability to do this thing is not difficult, and it is well organized. There are not too many masters this year, and there are a few familiar faces, Jiang Menshen brought more than a dozen apprentices to participate in the fist and foot competition. Hao Siwen, Tang Bin, and Shan Shiqi also arrived. Last year's archer Hua Rong also arrived, which was unexpected. It's just that this year's Hua Rong is already white, and he has no military position.

Just when Jeju was busy fighting drought and holding a ring match, Cheongbong Mountain, far away in Cheongju, was also busy.

Early this morning, Song Jiang got up early in the morning, punched the tiger and the tiger, took Feng Ying and Liu Xu with his personal relatives, and went to the canteen where the minions ate with their hands behind their backs.

It's no one else who manages the canteen, Kong Ming Kong Liang's father is in charge, Song Jiang went to Kong Taigong and asked, "Why is the food in the canteen so simple recently, I can't see the meat star." ”

Kong Taigong said: "It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and the farm does not send pigs and sheep, what do I use to kill meat, I can't learn from Wang Ying to kill people." ”

Song Jiang hurriedly said: "This is not bad for you, I'll go to the farm to have a look, but don't mention Wang Ying's bad habits, I have already arranged for him to change." ”

Qingfeng Mountain covers a large area, there are many farms, the sheep that are snatched up can not be eaten for a while are put in the farm, and some lambs can be laid if they are done, and the lambs are raised and fattened.

The farm was full of sheep manure, and the bleating of sheep, and the leader of Song did not dislike it, and personally went to the sheep house and called the person in charge of the farm.

asked, "Why don't you send sheep to the canteen recently, the minions don't have any meat to eat." ”

This man was very wronged, and said: "Big leader, look at it, this flock of sheep is basically pregnant with lambs, and they are about to give birth to lambs, and there are those who have just laid lambs, how can they be sent to the canteen to eat." ”

Song Jiang pointed to a fat sheep and said, "That head is not very good, and there are no lambs." ”

The person in charge said: "It is a ram, responsible for breeding the ewes, without him the ewes can not give birth to lambs, besides, the sheep grow slowly, and the meat growth speed is far less than that of pigs." ”
