"Thank you, Brother Li. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" The big girl on the side heard the words, her eyes turned red, and she pulled the ignorant girl who was standing on the side, and knelt down together to snort at Li Mingli.

"That's it." Li Mingli looked at the people in the house, and said helplessly: "Your family is my coat, and the public middle school will have to pay the grain in a few months, this time I heard that the expedition is to clear the Mongols who robbed the grain, the oil and water are limited, and I don't know if I can grab some things back, if not, I can't afford to pay the grain in the public is also dangerous, after I leave, you must try to pull the grass and carry water, and carefully serve our grain fields." ”

Ding Wang's family hurriedly responded, she promised to take the two girls to hoe and fertilize in the field morning and evening, and never dared to slack off.

Li Mingli knows that this woman can do what she says, the women here in Liaodong are the same, few have small feet, most of them are strong and tenacious, in recent years, there are many men who smoke in Liaodong, and women have also learned to smoke, and the work in the farmland is no worse than that of men, and it is easier to endure all kinds of hardships than men, like Lao Ding is often hungry and can't get up now, Ding Wang's food is less than Lao Ding, and most of the work in her hands is done by this woman, but she stands straight, There was not the slightest sign of fear or being struck.

When the men can't stand the door, the women can only stand up, and do better than the men.

"I'll shoot a few more birds in a while, damn it," Li Mingli patted his head and said with annoyance, "I don't know if I can find birds around." ”

Li Mingli is one of the bird catchers who have been named in the flag, and in addition to handing over a certain number of wild birds to the expedition in a month, he will use food to make up for it.

In addition to birds, there are also a certain number of fishermen, trappers, and salt boilers, these things in addition to the Gongzhong banner to bring people to do together, in addition to the harvest of the Gongzhong, will also point appointments, so that they can hand over the prescribed number according to the time, in addition to from Liaoyang to Jinzhou, every fruit tree in this area of thousands of miles is counted very clearly, in the middle of the second year of the Apocalypse, Li Yongfang, who was still in Jinzhou in southern Liaoning at that time, played the Great Khan especially for the matter of fruit trees, and there were 256 pear trees in and outside the city of Jinzhou at that time. One hundred and fourteen apple trees, two hundred and forty-six apricot trees, and two thousand eight hundred and sixteen date trees, divided into eighty orchards, were specially appointed to guard the harvest of these fruit trees, and three hundred fruit watchmen were specially appointed, and if the income of the fruit trees was less, these people would inevitably be whipped and even beheaded.

It is difficult to imagine in the novel, how ordinary people live in a country like Houjin, not only all the means of production are managed in a unified manner, but daily life is also severely oppressed, and even time and action lack the most basic freedom, including the fruit trees planted and wild by people are counted one by one, and reported to the supreme ruler to know that it is a crime for ordinary people to pick a fruit at will, and it is too normal to be starved to death in this kind of country, because in the most hungry time, Except for the cold wind that blew by, the water that flew in the sky and the ground and the trees that swam in the water, everything belonged to the Great Khan, and people were deprived of the right to peel the bark of trees except to starve to death.

Everyone in the house was speechless, and at this time there was a noisy human voice at the entrance of the village, and Niu Lu Zhangjing's voice sounded: "Three days later, Guangning, this Niu recorded 20 Han soldiers, 60 people in clothing, everyone came to our place to listen to the list, and those who chose to bring their own horses, rations, armor and weapons, and those who were not prepared were regarded as disobeying military discipline and were beheaded!" ”

Later Jin was a rising military group at this time, military law was strict, even the real Jurchen Zhushen was often severely punished for breaking the law, whipping and beheading were commonplace, and the military discipline of the Han army was even stricter, after hearing Niu Lu Zhangjing's shout, the Han army in the entire village rushed to Niu Lu Zhangjing's residence.

Li Mingli also stood up and said, "I'm going to obey orders, it's best to miss the choice." ”

He himself also knows that there is little hope, whether it is riding and archery ability or age in the Han army of this Niu Lu, Li Mingli is the best choice, even if he only picks five or ten people, he must be one of the people who are selected, unless he takes out the silver to bribe that Niu Lu Zhang Jing, but the people in the whole village are poor to death, and Zhang Jing himself is not doing well, let alone the people at the bottom.

Everyone seems to understand whether they understand or not, these people in front of them were still living in their own house half a year ago, there are fields, relatives, relatives and friends, there are officials and orders of the Ming Dynasty, all the old things disappeared overnight, only the harsh winter and the young man in front of him can rely on, according to the rules, they should call Li Mingli the master, but Li Mingli as long as they call it so when there are many people, they are very kind in private, and they also take very good care of them, the Ding family understands that it is not the young Han army in front of them, The family's situation was much more miserable than it is now.

Ding Wang bit his lower lip, and suddenly made up his mind, and said to Li Mingli: "Brother Li, you haven't married yet, I don't know if you can fall in love with our eldest girl?" ”

When Li Mingli heard this, he turned his head and glanced at the big girl behind him.

The four people in the room were almost hearing their heartbeats as if they were waiting for judgment.

Lao Ding, that is, Ding Wenzhong, showed a wry smile at the corner of his mouth, of course he hoped that Li Mingli would agree, the other party was the master, in fact, even if the eldest girl was forced, no one could say anything if he didn't give any name, the Ding family was begging the other party, but no matter what, Li Wenzhong couldn't help but feel sad about it.

Half a year ago, there were many big families in southern Liaoning who came to ask for marriage, Ding Wenzhong didn't agree because the eldest girl was still young, who knew that half a year later, he and his family asked a serious military family to accept the eldest girl......

The big girl's face turned red, her always white face finally had a touch of blood, and her body seemed to be trembling, Li Mingli could clearly see that the girl's lips were trembling badly.

"Well, let's talk about it when I come back......" Li Mingli did not agree on the spot, nor did he refuse, this called the Ding family, they were obviously relieved, and a smile also appeared on the face of the eldest girl.

After leaving Ding's house, Li Mingli sighed for no reason, he felt that he was still too soft-hearted.

When I arrived at the gate of Niu Lu Zhangjing, I heard that my name was also among them, Niu Lu Zhangjing simply said to Li Mingli: "It is the leader of the Da Beile army, I heard that the second Beile is also going, the red flag and the blue flag are each out of the Niu Lu soldiers and horses, and the Han army is selected, three days later, first to Liaoyang, and then to Guangning, in addition to clearing the grain road to fight the Mongols, but also to attack the Thirteen Mountains, pull out the Ming army and horses there, and escort Dingkou back to Liaoyang." ”

It turned out that he was going to attack the Thirteen Mountains where Yang Yi and Yang Er, Cheng Fang and others were!

Li Mingli's hands hung down weakly, and he felt that his body was as heavy as a mountain.

……

"Sixth brother eaten?"

"Uncle Sixth has eaten?"

"Hello Uncle Six, come and have some food?"

Han Lao Liu walked in the miners' pile, people were squatting on the ground, kept standing up, the chopsticks in their hands pointed to their iron lunch box, shouting and greeting Han Lao Liu with various titles, asking him to eat more, Han Lao Liu smiled, and kept smiling and responding to these people.

A small half of the miners here are from Lingqiu, and most of them are the foremen of various work areas, no matter what these people are in Lingqiu, they are veterans here, and they are the strength that the military department relies on.

Most of the rest are novices recruited from Yang and Tiancheng, they thought they were coming to open up the wasteland and farming at the beginning, and only then did they know that they were coming to do the miners, but no one was unwilling except for a very small number of people, the miners had to consume the same energy as the wasteland, and the miners had a certain danger, but they definitely earned more than the mines, and for those who were willing to leave their hometowns and go north, this reason was enough.

People are also full of respect for legendary figures like Han Laoliu, who was originally a bad gambler, and belonged to the most unpromising goods among the bottom people, and later became a part of He Yusheng like a legend, and then went all the way up, bought a house and land, and lived a life not too prosperous, and quit gambling, which is also a very persevering behavior, which is very admirable.

Sometimes people are like this, and they may not feel respect for the dignitaries and nobles in the capital, because after all, they are people from two worlds, and many people see in Han Lao Liu something that they have not thought of and cannot have before: hope.

People are willing to praise Han Lao Liu and be more affectionate to Han Lao Liu, of course, there are also people who are jealous and red-eyed, but these emotions all come from a kind of psychology, that is, a sense of identity.

The copper mining area is more than 60 miles in size, and it is quite a large area, with mountains and hills everywhere, no roads, only trees and shrubs, and large chunks of rocks.

Now mining is at the end of last year Sun Yuanhua with Han Laoliu and others to demarcate the easy mining area, here in the mountains there are a large number of easy to mine and excavate copper ore, the melting and casting area is also here, now there are many blast furnaces, sometimes Han Lao Liu himself can't believe that these blast furnaces and mining areas are erected in just two months.

In front of some of the abundant mountains, there are also a considerable number of miners digging shafts and transverse shafts, draining the water so that they can continue to dig further along the vein belt.

In many places, copper shafts can be dug hundreds of steps underground, which is much more difficult than iron ore mining.

This is fortunate enough, this is a very large copper mining area, and there are quite a lot of easy to mine ore, at least in a year or two will be very easy to mine, as long as the smelting and casting, it is a steady stream of copper ingots, and then sent back to Li Zhuang to be minted into copper coins or used for use.

There is not much difference between the design of the mining area and the Lingqiu side, and there is also a considerable living area, and a large area of living area is built in the northeast direction, opposite to the southwest where the mining area is located.
