Cheng Jiawulang Cheng Boxian followed Xue Jiawulang Xue Chuyu to fight horses and walk, both of them were officers of the Flying Cavalry Army, riding a high-headed horse at this time, each with a few horseback attendants, all the way to attract people's attention.

"This Li San is quite ignorant, your father and my grandfather both recruited him personally, and they still refused, I really don't know if he is stupid or stupid." Cheng Boxian shook his head and said.

He rode a six-rank military general, and he actually had to go to Lantian to find a grass man in person. Originally, he didn't want to go, but his grandfather had a life, but he didn't dare to disobey.

"Brother Shang Xian, this Li Sanlang is not stupid, and he is also a very smart person, you will know after you see it in a while. Not only is he not stupid, but he is also very interesting, he doesn't hide it from Brother Shangxian, I am now commensurate with Li Sanlang as a brother. ”

"You Xue Wulang has always regarded himself very highly, and there are few noble children in Chang'an City who can enter your eyes, and they usually disdain to be with those children of Liang, but now why do you still call a brother and a brother to a grass people?"

Xue Wulang smiled.

The Xue family has a very good relationship with the Cheng family, because Xue Rengui had served under Cheng Yanjin for several years, and Cheng Yanjin also promoted Xue Rengui, and the two were quite temperamental, so the children of the two families were also close.

Although Cheng Boxian is the fifth of the Cheng family's grandchildren, he is extremely favored, because his father is Cheng Chubi, the prince of Guangping County and the general of the right Jinwu. Cheng Chubi is the third son of the Cheng family, but the difference between Cheng Laosan and his two brothers is that his mother is from the Qinghe Cui family.

And the mother of his other two brothers is Cheng Yanjin's original partner Sun. Sun was only the wife that Cheng Biting Jin married when he was not yet developing, and was the third daughter of Sun Lu'er, the county commander, and Cheng Biting Jin was also a good match, but later Cheng Biting Jin succeeded in a hundred battles and became the Duke of the Kingdom, but this Mrs. Sun did not enjoy the blessings for long, and died of illness soon after being named Mrs. Suguo.

After the death of Mrs. Sun, Cheng Yanjin remarried the daughter of the fifth surnamed Qinghe Cui, a founding minister married an old family, which was also a common practice in the early Tang Dynasty.

Qinghe Cui's name is known all over the world, and Cheng Boxian, as the grandson of Mrs. Cui, is naturally more favored in the Cheng family.

However, although this Cheng Wulang is favored, he is different from the generally spoiled Xun Qi children, he is very competitive and motivated.

Now as a military attache of the Liupin Flying Cavalry, although he is inseparable from the family's door, he is indeed deeply respected and liked by his colleagues in the Flying Cavalry Army, all because of this person's strong martial arts and bold and righteous spirit.

Today, Cheng Wulang went home on vacation, but he was immediately arrested by the old man and asked him to come to Lantian to get wine.

"I always heard my grandfather say how good this burning knife is, I don't believe it a little, what kind of good wine can a country man make?"

"Burn the knife, the wine is as its name suggests, and drinking it is like a red-hot knife in the belly. Ordinary people are really not used to drinking it, but your grandfather and my father liked to drink such spirits. I drank it once, and my stomach was upset for days afterwards. It's uncomfortable, but it's a memorable feeling. Brother Shang Xian, your temper will definitely like this wine too. ”

"This wine is as good as you say, no, as long as it's half as good as you say, I'm sure I'll have to buy a big barrel."

"Do you want to buy it, it is said that this wine is very difficult to make, so far only three bottles have been made, of which my father drank one bottle, your grandfather drank one bottle, and one bottle he drank himself, I don't know if there is one. This wine is not sold outside at all. ”

Blue Creek.

The news that the Li family was going to dig a fish pond spread, and the farmers soon came to work.

Manage two meals a day, each meal has at least four yellow rice nests, millet porridge is enough, there is big bone broth to drink, pickles to eat, not to mention two liters of millet a day to pay.

This treatment, who does not want to come.

It's so close to home, you can go home and sleep after eating in the afternoon, I don't know how many times it's better to serve the government, I don't know how many times, I serve the government, I often leave home for dozens or hundreds of miles, I have to take the quilt with me, I eat poorly, and I don't get paid.

The dredging of the embankment in the winter, the work is not easy, but everyone also feels that it is not a tiring work, the village households, usually do not do all manual work, when there is no money to rent cattle and horses, even the land is turned over by their own shovel and hoe, this little work is nothing.

Digging a fish pond is not a technical job, relying on a depression in the Blue Creek, measure out a piece of land about two acres, then dry the water, then clear the silt, and finally dig deeper, and then surround a dike on all sides, and then you can store water and raise fish.

Li Xiao made design drawings, in fact, as long as there is a stone gate under the embankment on one side to release water, the rest can be piled up at will, after all, it is just a fish pond, and it is not a reservoir.

I heard that the owner is digging ponds to raise fish, and everyone is quite curious.

My ancestors have lived at the foot of the Qinling Mountains for generations, by the Lanxi River, but no one has ever raised a fish. Everyone is curious, can this fish be kept too?

There is no pumping machine, and the little water in the depression can only be picked out little by little by a bucket.

Seeing that there is not much water, I really found that there are a lot of them when I picked up the water, but there are also some unexpected gains, that is, under the puddle, there are actually a lot of fish, shrimp, turtles, crabs, river mussels, etc.

There are many wild crucian carp and carp, ranging in size and even some water snakes.

A group of tenants were very excited, carrying buckets and barefoot, and they didn't care about the cold, so they fished and caught shrimp in the muddy and muddy water.

Li Xiaolong handed, also squatted on the shore to see, there are still so many fish in this depression, it seems that the water quality is actually good, this depression, according to the river against the mountain, is like a swamp stream, the grass is more and the silt is also deep.

"This silt is also a good thing, it can't be wasted, pick it up and dry it, and then transport it back to the ground, which can increase the yield." Mr. Zhao is still more experienced and knows that silt can fertilize the field.

The Li family's land was rented to tenants to plant, and the family did not reserve land for long-term laborers, so the mud cleared out was actually useless to the family.

"Leaving a little silt, we went back and spread silt on both sides of the walled embankment, opened a few ridges of soil, planted taro, and used silt to fertilize the taro. The rest of the silt will be picked up by the tenants themselves. ”

A servant in the courtyard said, "Our family's fields have been rented for a fixed amount next year, so they have picked up the sludge to fertilize the fields and increase production, and it has nothing to do with us, why don't we collect some money?" ”

Li Xiao shook his head, why bother to be so fine, it's not interesting to be careful. Appropriately make some profits, give everyone a little benefit, and everyone will remember this good.

"Hey, this puddle is really not simple, I usually can't see it, I can't imagine that there are so many fish and turtles below, especially the old turtles, they have touched more than a dozen hard-shelled shells, and the largest one is more than ten catties." The pillar was very excited to carry a Wang Ba over to Li Xiaodao.

Li Xiao looked at the Wang Ba, who was at least three catties or more, and said with a smile, "Leave a few for me to stew soup, and put the rest here and stew soup at noon." ”

Because Wang Ba has no meat, he is all a shell, so the people look down on everything else. However, Li Xiao likes this king ba, looking at the ** turtle brain, but in later generations, this kind of wild bashi is very precious, especially such a big one, not a thousand yuan a catty.

These people won't eat it, it's a waste.
