There was a sound of clicking lips around Zhao Wen, everyone ate very quickly, and many people showed a mixture of satisfaction and greed on their faces, and many people ate their cakes in three or five bites, and then looked at others with blank eyes. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhao Wen began to eat Si Wenwen, until he found that many people were staring at their cakes, four taels of wheat cakes were just the minimum ration for everyone to maintain physical fitness, in later generations, many good boys may not be able to eat four taels of staple food, but that was the era when oil, water and high-calorie food were very sufficient, in this era, people generally struggled on the food and clothing line, even when they were full, there was very little oil and water, meat and protein were very lacking, two cakes were almost a matter of a few mouthfuls for many strong men, Zhao Wen did not dare to delay any longer when he saw this, I also try to eat my wheat bread as quickly as possible...... Then he choked.

"Everyone hurry up and go to sleep, there are guards on duty at night, don't worry about the wolves." A cavalry officer rode back and forth shouting, and at the sound of his shouting, the people, who understood that there was still a hard journey, hurriedly lay down on the grass and fell asleep.

There may be mosquitoes or snakes and ants, but no one cares about it at this time.

Zhao Wen thought that he would not be able to sleep, he still had some expectations in his heart, there might be an accident to tell him to escape, to escape from these hateful butchers and murderers, but when he lay down, he seemed to have been smashed with a stick, and immediately fell asleep.

……

The far corner of the sky changed from dark blue to lead gray for a split second.

The white clouds immediately turned gray, then black, and then there was a muffled thunder in the sky, and then everyone saw silver snake-like lightning flashing in the sky.

In a place like the grassland, the might of heaven and earth is infinitely magnified.

Because looking at the past, everywhere is a lonely wilderness overgrown with grass and shrubs, unlike the area inhabited by the Han people, there are towns, villages, people everywhere, even the storm that will bring death is invisibly offset a lot of terrible things, but here, the power of heaven and earth seems incomparably huge and terrifying, people walk on the unobstructed grassland, under this sky like ants, when the lightning and thunder, the team that has been walking normally almost stopped, even if there is a rope around the neck, At the front, there were also cavalrymen pulling ropes to control the people to move forward at a constant pace.

After more than ten days of long journey, Zhao Wen has lost a lot of weight, he was already too thin and thin, and he was even thinner and almost out of shape, and those originally strong men were similar, after all, they ate dry cakes and drank water, and they didn't even have vegetable soup, but fortunately, on the third day, people were organized into squads, and they received salt according to the squad, and each person could get a pinch of salt every day, otherwise everyone would not have the physical strength to continue walking.

People continued to walk, in the lightning and thunder in the heavy rain finally fell, almost in an instant people's robes were soaked, fortunately at this time it has entered the summer, originally people are walking sweaty, after the rain fell everyone felt cool, not very cold.

Zhao Wen walked with his head bored, and when he looked up occasionally, he felt that something was wrong and couldn't help but stop.

As soon as he stopped like this, everyone was taken away, and the neck of the fierce-faced man was strangled, and he was about to scold Zhao Wen when he stared.

"Front, front, front......"

Zhao Wen pointed forward and shouted.

People looked at it, and then everyone realized that something was wrong.

Ahead are large fields of farmland!

This kind of situation is not unheard of in the grassland, and the situation is similar there, but after all, the Bansheng land is set up around Qingcheng, and the scattered Han villages have slowly set up eight major Bansheng land, and the Mongolian plan is just to demarcate the farmland originally opened up by the Han people, and that's it. And the farmland in front of you is almost invisible at a glance, and it is connected to each other, giving people a feeling of no end!

In the middle of the farmland, there are obviously tic-tac-toe roads, people can walk through them, and there are ridges to pass, and there are obvious excavated ditches, this is the Dahei River Basin, as long as you are willing to spend manpower, you can open up enough water.

Obviously, there are a large number of large Lanzhou waterwheels along the river, all of which are huge double cars, and these vehicles are constantly turning, leading the river into the criss-crossing ditches.

Not far in front of the farmland, there were faint military forts, and the largest castle was also faintly exposed, and someone shouted: "This is the Great Black River Fort, we have not been taken to the copper mine." ”

"I heard that the copper mine is to the southwest, and the big Heihe Fort is the small Heihe Fort all the way to the east, going in parallel, so I said something is wrong."

"Looks like you brought us here to farm?"

"It's good to farm, but you're not afraid to farm."

Everyone felt a sense of relief!

Whether it is mining stones in the open pit or helping to work in the furnace, or carrying copper ingots, there is no work that is light, and the food is certainly not as good as that of the people of Yusheng. I also heard that to go down, China's copper mine in the vertical shaft level in general, easy to have accidents, and not easy to dig out of the deep well, until the Qing Dynasty copper mining technology has made a breakthrough, copper production has increased greatly, in a considerable era, the West has begun to use a lot of effective methods to pump water, the first use of the steam engine is to pump water to copper mines and other mines, the current and Yusheng copper mine has been as good as possible, but the people who go down the mine must still be in danger of life, the thought of risking their lives to go deep into the dark underground, These captives just feel breathless.

Now that I have arrived here, people feel relieved!

Zhao Wen was also relieved, he was very afraid that he would die in the copper mine, although he would not be able to farm, but it was within the scope of what he could learn!

"You're in luck." The light cavalry officer rode over and said loudly to Zhao Wen and the others: "Originally, there was a shortage of manpower in the copper mine, but my lord remembered that you are all Han Chinese, Yan and Huang Yan, think about it, I still forgive you for hard labor, and distribute them to various farms to farm and do some miscellaneous labor, if you are not honest, the whip is also light, and it will be too late to regret it when you get beheaded." Without further ado, it's true that you should hurry on. ”

Zhao Wen and others were happy in their hearts, since they accelerated their pace and moved forward, and walked forward for a long time before entering the farmland area, at this time the Duntai military fort was also much denser than before, many people have been looking at the Daheihe Fort, everyone knows that further east is the Jining Fort area, the pier platform over there is also very dense, that is the most famous of the many military forts that Yusheng just entered the grassland, Bu Shitu Khan died opposite Jining Fort, Zhang Han sat in the fort with thousands of people to resist the siege of hundreds of thousands of Mongolian cavalry, Even the Mongols were so frightened that they did not dare to attack from beginning to end, and they were finally defeated, which also made Jining Fort famous.

"It's so high." The fierce-faced man suddenly said, "What's like this?" ”

"It's not like a vegetable, it's not beans."

"I heard that He Yusheng is going to plant rice in the same way, is this?"

"You're talking about fart, rice rice, what kind of seeds do you take if you don't have water?"

The farmland in front of me is indeed different from the usual planting value of the Han people in these slabs, the ridges are very high, the ditches are also deep, and it is obvious that the requirements for sunshine are quite high, and there are people in the fields not far away who are taking hoes to remove the newly grown weeds, and there are also people cultivating the soil.

As far as the eye can see, there are people doing farm work everywhere as far as the eye can see, and tools such as forks, rakes, hoes and shovels are complete.

The middle-aged man who was tied to Zhao Wen's side said happily: "This work tool is really complete, we won't be tired." ”

The fierce-faced man nodded solemnly and said: "Are we still afraid of hardship, I see that this place looks like doing things, let's take care of this place with peace of mind, and unlucky things will not come to us again." ”

"I just don't know what to plant?" The middle-aged man said worriedly: "If we don't know how to play with it, it will be bad." ”

Many people have this worry, they are now walking on the avenue in the middle of the farmland, you can see that these fields have taken a lot of effort to open up, first have to burn the wasteland, this should be a winter thing, the large area of turf burned black, and in addition to the grass also fertilized the field, and then an acre of open plots, dig out ditches, and then cultivate soil to fatten, dig out the ridges, and these can walk on the road, obviously flattened with stone mills, although simple, but also on both sides of the ditch to store water, the grassland is flat terrain, Not only do you have these ditches to drain your water without worrying about damaging your roads, but you can also store more water during the dry season, when the water level of the river is not high during the dry season.

It can be seen that these lands not only cost a lot of manpower and material resources, but also cost a lot of money.

The scale of Banshengdi is not small, but it took at least ten years to slowly take shape, and the farmland in front of me was still a barren grassland at least half a year ago.

People kept exclaiming and sighing, and many people were even worried that they would not be able to do their jobs well, and at this moment they looked like long-term laborers or tenant farmers who had just been hired, and if it weren't for the ropes around their necks, many people would have been eager to go to the fields first.

The people who were doing the work in the farmland all raised their heads and looked at these captives, many people had been arrested for a while, and only the Han captives were escorted to this side, and many of the reclamation people here were originally Han people from Banshengdi, they looked carefully, and sure enough, they saw a lot of acquaintances in the captive team.

The people in the fields made fun of the captives.

It's just that less than a month later, they are still hired laborers, and their former acquaintances have become captives.

The captives felt embarrassed, but they couldn't help but ask their acquaintances about the matter.

"Don't worry." A man who came from the ground shouted in the field: "Eat is not as good as a soldier, but it is better than at home. You must take care of the plot of land that you have contracted to the above, otherwise we will deduct your wages, and you will be whipped. If you run away and deliberately destroy farm tools and plots, then you will be killed, don't be confused. We also farm for the North Captives in Banshengdi, and most of the harvest is taken away by the Tartars, and the wages we receive here are much better than those for farming at home, and you will have to work for nothing for a year if you are confused, but you will be able to stay and earn wages with us next year. ”
