Section 130 Bosom friends

The first tornado begins at the end of the Wanderer

The mountain behind Qinjia Village, five miles away from the village, is the burial place of the ancestors of the Qin family. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

A few days ago, Qin Haoming paid homage to the post of Tongzhi, the avant-garde commander of the Fu Army, and awarded the title of General Mingwei.

The people of Qinjia Village worked with Zhang Yun to repair the tombs of the ancestors of the Qin family, which were originally somewhat dilapidated.

Today coincides with the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, Zhang Yun and Fu Bo asked their ancestors to make a big offering for Qin Haoming. Lu Xinrong didn't need to do anything to build a house, so he went into the mountain with them to worship the ancestors of the Qin family.

It was a time of slack and everyone was building houses, and there were no people working in the fields, and the dark land was bare, and there were no crops for wintering.

Turning the foot of the mountain, a wide basin suddenly comes into view, a clear river meanders and flows, and some small grasses on both sides have emerged green, adding a little vitality to this winter day!

Lu Xinrong frowned, dismounted and picked up a handful of dirt from the ground and rubbed it vigorously, the black soil fell down from between his fingers, and instantly turned into brittle mud.

A trace of suspicion flashed on his face, and he asked Zhang Yun; "The water here is abundant, the terrain is flat, the land is fertile, and with a little reclamation, it is tens of thousands of acres of fertile land.

Isn't there anyone paying attention here? But what's in it that can't be said? ”

Zhang Yun sat on the horse, made a big circle with his hands from the inside and out, and said happily:

"No, from here to the Liantang Guard House of more than 1,000 households, they all belong to the southeast of the "strange rocks, no grass" place.

The Linpu County official office has been divided into our Qin family to reclaim and plant forests, and the documents have been promulgated, just waiting for his brother to come back and sign and draw a pledge. ”

"Good, good, good!"

Lu Xinrong said three good words in a row, his eyes flashed, and his face was flushed with excitement in the bitter cold of winter.

"After the house was built, I led 800 people to start clearing the wasteland, or recruiting some more displaced people, and strive to complete it in half a year, so as to plant beans in the summer to replenish the farmland.

In this way, rice and wheat can be rotated in the second year to achieve one year and two crops. In the third year, another season of beans is planted to make up for the excessive consumption of field resources in the second year, and then a season of winter wheat is planted. Hahaha......"

Thinking of the scene when the granary was full, Lu Xinrong couldn't help laughing proudly, and his heart was infinitely happy.

"Oh? Can planting beans replenish field power? ”

Zhang Yun jumped off the horse and stood beside Lu Xinrong, very interested.

"Shangnong" in "Lu's Spring and Autumn Period" once said: No matter soybeans, mung beans, mud beans, broad beans, or peas, as long as they are planted in the spring, they can ensure that the field strength of the next year will not be reduced, and it has been ...... for thousands of years."

Lu Xinrong talked eloquently, explained the agriculture he had learned a little, and then changed his words, "General Qin seems to be quite proficient in agricultural affairs, and once said to me:

Legume crops can fix nitrogen in the air and increase nitrogen in the soil, and using legume crops to participate in crop rotation can not only obtain a season of food, but also make up for the loss of nutrients in the soil, which is a good way to kill two birds with one stone. ”

Zhang Yun was stunned and said, "Brother, but any farm work is ...... Never...... Touched, how to ......"

"There is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book!"

Lu Xinrong smiled slightly, then shook his head and said with some admiration: "I only know what it is, but I don't know why." And General Qin knows what it is, and he knows why it is, and he is more than a step above me! ”

"I'm afraid I'll have to wait for a while, I'm worried that the government has some tricks, and I've sent someone to consult my brother and tell him, and I can act after he replies."

Zhang Yun bluntly told Lu Xinrong his reasons and thoughts.

"False! Brother Yun is too worried! ”

Lu Xinrong shook his hand, looked around at the surrounding terrain, and said slowly:

"This is all tacit things in the Ming officialdom, not a conspiracy. If General Qin refuses and pretends to be high, he will be the enemy of the unspoken rules of the entire Ming officialdom, and he will not be able to move an inch! ”

Then he lowered his voice and whispered to Zhang Yun: "What's more, General Qin took one step and looked at three steps, and he had already planned to do things.

If what I expected, the general must have ordered you to hoard food from the beginning!

Otherwise, my 800 men and horses would have come over, and the general would definitely not have no other explanation. In his mind, the food problem is as serious as a thousand things! ”

"What if ......" Zhang Yun frowned, suppressing the surprise in his heart, and seemed to be a little worried.

Lu Xinrong raised his hand to interrupt Zhang Yun's words, stared at him with his eyes tightly and said sincerely:

"Believe me, I've already been with General Qin, and I understand some of his thoughts.

In this period of war, you send someone to report to the general, and it will take at least a month to go back and forth.

People are wrong for a while, and people are wrong for a year!

Presumably, the military must not want to see such a situation. In addition, I also believe that if there is any problem during this period, some of the intrigues and tricks of the officialdom in the small county town of Linpu will not be touched at all. ”

Patting Zhang Yun's shoulder, Lu Xinrong's fingers trembled a little in the direction of the south, "When General Qin was still a showman, he once told me:

He wants to form the most powerful fleet of the Ming Dynasty, gather the goods of the world to trade with the Ming Dynasty, so that everyone can get their own place, and invite me to help. His words are still in my ears! ”

Saying this, Lu Xinrong suddenly straightened up, holding his chest up to face the cold winter wind, and his voice had a hint of firmness, "Is General Qin a person who wants money?" ”

Without waiting for Zhang Yun to answer, he shook his head and asked himself, "No, what he wants is grain from the southern island countries to solve the dilemma of lack of food in the Ming Dynasty!"

I now know that Qin Xiucai had nothing that day, but he said such bold words. So, with General Qin's current status, do you think he cares about anything? ”

Lu Xinrong had a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his deep eyes were staring at Zhang Yun tightly.

Shock!

After listening to Lu Xinrong's words, only these two words have always filled Zhang Yun's heart.

Of course, there is also a wisp of confusion.

It can be said that from beginning to end, he has never speculated on the purpose and intention of his brother's work, and when he heard Lu Xinrong say this today, he suddenly had some understanding.

"Yes, during the slack season, you can also call the people of the Qin family to renovate the water conservancy, and it will be beneficial to them to facilitate the rotation of water and drought in the future.

After the festival, we began to open up the wasteland and reclaim the forest. ”

If you don't understand, you don't want to, some things are inconvenient to say, Zhang Yun knows that it is his brother, so enough!

But for Lu Xinrong's talent, he has the most intuitive understanding.

"You two will talk about it another day, in a hurry." A little farther away, Fauber said to the two.

Zhang Yun and Lu Xinrong looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.

They rode their horses all the way, and as the peaks turned, the terrain gradually rose to the ground, and thus entered the real mountainous area.

Jumping off their horses, the three of them began to walk slowly.

But when he entered the mountain trail, Lu Xinrong looked left and right, his fingers pinched and calculated, and his face was surprised.
