Chapter 520: Lost Brother

"Master Fan, don't be polite, in fact, over there in our Ji Town, Master Fan is the real immortal, much more famous than my uncle. Everyone says that Master Fan is the birth of Wenqu Star, and he knows five hundred years before and five hundred years later, and even the pigs we raise are called Fan Pigs......"

When Qi Jin said this, he suddenly realized that he had said something, his face changed, and he quickly explained: "No...... That's not what it means......"

Fan Jin smiled, "The little general is too humble." Fan is a weak scholar, and he can't be compared with a famous minister like your uncle and nephew who guards the border for the country. When I was in my hometown, I heard the story of General Qi's fight against the Japanese invaders, and I always admired the prestige of the old Yuanrong, but unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to meet him, which was a great regret. It is also a great joy for me to see the golden face of the little general today. Your uncle and nephew have made great merit in guarding the gate of the country and the dynasty against captives, and I can't go to the front line as a scholar, so I can come up with some ideas randomly, and it is my duty to help the front-line soldiers. I'm afraid that the more I help if I miss Yuan Rong's big event, I will not be able to go in my own heart, even if Lao Yuan Rong doesn't ask about the crime, I can't pass my own level. ”

"Being able to name the pig after my surname shows that this pig is unusual, and it is very kind to the thoughts of the sons, which proves that the recipe I offered is correct. It's a great thing, it's too late for me to be happy, how can I be annoyed. I don't have to lie in front of the little general, although the matter of raising pigs and bean fields is my idea, but I can't say how effective it will be in the north. I still have to work for General Lao today, so tell me about it. ”

It is important to know that the Ming Dynasty currently has more military and less literature, due to the system regulations in the Hongwu period, the military attachés below the third rank are hereditary, and the military attachés above the third rank are selected from the military attachés below the third rank, resulting in the military positions are all internally generated. Every time there is a big war, many heroes will be born, and then they will also participate in the hereditary system, and the reproduction to the Jiajing period has been a situation where several hereditary children of the military rank are competing for each other.

Li Chengliang was still waiting for the post when he was forty years old, just because someone was sitting in the position of the commander of the Tieling Guard. When Qi Jiguang followed the system to inherit the official position of commander left by his father, he found that there were four more people who were qualified to inherit this official position, and they had to pass the examination before they could really be appointed. In this context, the importance of a friend of Wenchen to the warriors is self-evident.

Qi Jiguang has always been low and small in front of Zhang Juzheng, and he and You Qi worship Jinlan's siblings, which are regarded as supreme glory, Fan Jin, the son-in-law of the Prime Minister's Mansion, took such an approachable attitude to make friends with Qi Jin, which was naturally a little flattered to him. He is young and does not have the experience and tactfulness of Qi Jiguang, and as soon as Fan Jin said a few good words, he was a little at a loss, and grinned:

"Master Fan can afford to bid down, and he doesn't dare to tell lies in front of the big man. In fact, I told my uncle that Master Fan, a scholar who is willing to raise pigs, must be different from ordinary scholars. But my uncle said that no matter what kind of scholar he is, as long as he is a scholar, he is not comparable to us. You must be polite and respectful to the reader, and you can't lose your courtesy. People get along with each other, far is slow and close is not inferior, compared to rather slow than inferior, so to mark in front of the lord must always remember what the etiquette is about, otherwise it will be done by military law. Now it seems that my uncle is wrong, although the eldest lord is a literati, he is a martial artist, and he will not lose his temper because of some trivial things. ”

Fan Jin laughed, "Shao Yuanrong doesn't have to just say good things, let's talk about it, that kind of bean method is okay?" ”

"The old man's method is naturally doable, and the Juntun grains on the nine sides are ...... What do people say about this, anyway, no one expects a real harvest. Every year, the imperial court says how many acres of military fields and how many thousands of stones of grains are used, and we have never seen them anyway. But since the cultivation according to Master Fan's tricks, the crops in the field have increased by a few percent, and the grain has seen a lot, but this is a real deal. The most important thing is that this pig is raised big and fat, and each pig weighs 100 pounds, which is a living treasure that has never been seen before. If the eldest lord doesn't believe it, you can ask Brother Wang. ”

Qi Jin was afraid that he would say too much and make a mistake, so he nodded and called Wang Bangping over. Fan Jin only learned at this time that Wang Bangping was a hereditary commander, a standard sitting tiger, and Qi Jin, an officer from the south, had actually fought together, and had also changed stickers, he was a good friend, and the friendship between the two was excellent. This time, Qi Jin received an order from the military department to chase all the way, so he first went to the Nanshan barracks to find him, and then came to meet him together, and even the meeting gift of fifty taels of silver given to him was borrowed from Wang Bangping.

Hearing Qi Jin ask about pig raising, Wang Bangping praised without mouth:

"That pig is so nice. Those of us who serve as soldiers are begging for good food and drink. Bian Saibi can't be in the stomach, when Qiu Ba's coarse people can't eat fine grains, the so-called delicious is to drink wine in a big bowl and eat meat. Since the pig breeding in Jizhen has achieved results, in the past two years, everyone has been competing to buy Fan pigs in Jizhen Town. This pig is only available in Jizhen, so it depends on Qi Shuai's face, if Qi Shuai is unhappy, no one has a fat pig to eat, so he has to go to the market to buy a lean pig. The same bite of pigs, compared with those in Jizhen, is at least half the weight, this is not a matter of dozens of catties of meat, it is related to the meat in the bowls of the children, and it is related to morale, and no one dares to be careless. The pigs in Jizhen are now a treasure on nine sides, and everyone wants to get one or two to raise, but even if they get a pig breed, they can't raise it themselves, and they are not as fat and strong as the pigs in Jizhen. People say that Qi Yuanrong has a spell, and if he uses his magical powers, the pig will grow fat, and we don't understand this spell, so we can't do it. ”

Qi Jin shook his head and said: "Brother Wang is talking nonsense again, didn't I tell you, my uncle never knows Shinto, and the trick of raising pigs is in feed." Just ask Master Fan and let him teach you this method, so that in the future, you will be able to harvest more crops in your field, and the pigs will grow fat and strong. ”

Fan Jin has not yet introduced the big white pig eaten in the future, the traditional local pig meat rate is low, coupled with the feed problem, the current pig is dozens of catties, and very few grow to 100 catties, so it is not good that the old sow can not eat. After the bean dregs are used as feed, they can make the pig produce amino acids and increase the meat yield, as long as the feed is enough, the amount of meat produced by a pig can reach 100 catties. For the army, the purchase of pigs is by mouth not by catty, the same pig, the weight is doubled, and the meat in the bowl of the soldier can be more than two taels, which is a real benefit, but also a real benefit. After all, fattening pigs can make more money, which is the simplest truth.

Fan Jin is not taboo about the name Fan Zhu, but feels kind. He is not a person who cares about fame, and he is not a handsome talent like Sun, Wu, and Zhuge who can strategize and win thousands of miles. Since you eat in the pot of Daming, I hope that this pot will exist as long as possible, and I don't want it to break everyone's hungry stomach too soon. Since we can't rely on our own ability to mend this pot, we have to use other means to make it as strong as possible.

At the level of command in the battle, Fan Jin did not have much strength to withdraw, so he really threw him on the battlefield to resist the enemy, and he was sure to help more and more. But in terms of logistics and supply, you can still make some contributions and do what you can. For example, although the wound care knowledge donated before was reported in the name of Chen Lan, it did benefit ordinary soldiers. Subsequently, under the promotion of Zhang Juzheng, it has been widely publicized in Jiubian. Restricted by the objective environment, the generals have attached great importance to the soldiers, and most soldiers may not be able to benefit from it, but it is always a good thing to save more people. The same is true for pig raising and fertilizing fields.

It's better than not even bothering to use a glass of water, and it's better to be able to do a little than to do nothing. Fan Jin can't guarantee that this ship named Daming will never sink, and he has no plans to build a new ship in another world, the so-called pastemaker, naturally, is within his ability, to make up for the damage found, even if the merit is complete, as for the deep-seated problems, he asked himself is powerless to solve.

Taking technology as an example, when later generations look at the records, they will often be surprised that this has existed in ancient times, and then despise it and say backwards. In fact, the transmission and protection of ancient technology were very poor, such as the wet gunpowder developed by Qi Jiguang during the war against the Japanese, which was "invented" again at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and then in the Qing Dynasty, it was repeatedly "invented" in the middle, middle and late Qing Dynasty. The key reason is that having this kind of technology has nothing to do with whether this technology can continue to spread, many times the technology of human death disappears, and more often the technology of people not dying also disappears.

Fan Jin's bean planting plan relied on Zhang Juzheng's tiger skin and forcibly promoted it through administrative means before it could be implemented in Jizhen Town, and because fat pigs are good for everyone, it could be further disseminated. But this is far from enough, if there is no follow-up plan, wait until Zhang Juzheng dies and the newcomer comes to power. In order to show that he has fully drawn a line with Zhang Juzheng, this Fan pig and Dou Miao also have to be extinct from the border.

On this trip to Shanxi, why do you have to find some trouble for your own teacher. Fan Jin thought in his heart, since he put himself on the fire to roast, then don't blame himself for blowing it up to him, let him know what a stupid act it is to put dangerous goods on the fire. Shanxi is the foundation of Zhang Siwei and others, it is not easy for an outsider to make a difference in it, even if he is subordinate to the official army, it may not be completely credible, and Qi Jin in front of him is a good assistant sent by God to help him.

Think before you think about retreating, and at the very least, you must ensure the personal safety of yourself and your daughters at home. Although today's Fan Jin is not a weak scholar, but in the border area, there is a tiger general who is naturally the most relieved, because Fan Jin's attitude towards Qi Jin is extraordinarily generous and deliberately befriended, and Qi Jin is also flattered. The conversation gradually increased, and the attitude was not as restrained as Fang Cai.

"Although he is a martial artist, he is also literate and readable, and he has specially bought and read the books written by Master Fan. Especially the books of Jingzhong Chuan and Yang Jiajiang, even my uncle liked them very much, and he deliberately used the stories in them to teach the soldiers. He asked the sons and daughters below to learn from loyal ministers like Yang Linggong and Yue Wumu, promise the country with their bodies, and repay the king with their lives. Naturally, some people will give them a monument and set up a legend, and their names will be marked in history. ”

Qi Jiguang's method of training soldiers is actually to train his subordinate soldiers as officer reserves. Before enlistment, soldiers were basically illiterate, but after enlistment, Qi Jiguang sent people to teach them to read and write, so that everyone could serve as a grassroots officer when necessary.

The textbooks they read were originally military orders, but now they have become stories written by Fan Jin that they are loyal to the king and would rather die than rebel. The people of this era are first ignorant and superstitious, and the second is that they do not have their own system in their thinking, and they are particularly easy to be influenced by others, in other words, the three views have not been formed.

For example, the famous elder society in the late Qing Dynasty was extremely influential in the army, and the great order of the lord of Longtou Mountain was far more effective than the military order. The situation in the Ming army was similar, and the sect was also widely spread in the army, but it did not form the strong vitality of the elders' association and did not form a system.

For these soldiers, it was useless to teach them the ways of saints. After all, these grassroots soldiers lack theoretical knowledge and cannot understand advanced truths. From the very beginning, Fan Jin's words were written to serve the people, and they were particularly kind to these soldiers, and they completed the transformation of their thinking in an entertaining and educational way.

If you can reason in an entertaining way, you will never engage in high-level education, this is the goal set by Fan Jin from the beginning, and engaging in ideological work does not mean that you have to be serious, and Citi Country's kind of promoting your own value in a brave heart is the king.

Later generations could not defeat Citigroup in this field, and in this era, they finally have this opportunity and ability, and Fan Jin will naturally not let go of the opportunity. Most people can't see their intentions, ordinary people just use the script as a musical word, and the literati are also a pastime, and the person who can really find the magic of the script is counted as one, and Qi Jiguang is also counted as one.

Compared with the strict military law, the use of scripts to preach is more effective, and at present, many soldiers in Jizhen have become fans of Fan Jin's books, including Qi Jiguang's uncle and nephew. Qi Jiguang is researching the script as a missionary tool, Qi Jin is young, and in addition to fighting, he has a wide range of hobbies, but he likes Fan Jin's works from the bottom of his heart.

All the words that Fan Jin has written are collected in the Jizhen army, and some of them are not suitable for ordinary soldiers to watch, and they are spread among officers as welfare, after all, there is a lack of female dependents in the army. There are also some words that focus on the love between men and women, which are not the dishes of martial artists, but they are Mrs. Qi's favorites. You must know that General Nantang is invincible on the battlefield, only Ji Chang's habit, and honoring his wife is the first priority in the army, and he must not be neglected.

is not as experienced and mature as Qi Jiguang, Qi Jin is as old as Fan Jin, he knows words but is not a well-dressed person, and he already admires literati. I have read a lot of scripts on weekdays, and Yu Fan Jin is even more regarded as an idol, and Fan Jin's approachability and lack of arrogance when I meet today makes Qi Jin respect from the bottom of his heart, and sees Fan Jin as the embodiment of those scholar protagonists in the script.

With this emotion, Fan Jin negotiated with him, and after talking for a long time, they almost became friends. Wang Bangping squeezed his eyebrows beside him, and practiced dry coughing, but Qi Jin didn't react at all, and Wang Bangping was sweating profusely. Fan Jin saw the clue, greeted Wang Bangping with a smile and asked:

"Wang Shenrong entrusted General Qi Xiao with something, it is better to say it to his face. Since you are General Qi Xiao's sworn brother, this official will not treat you as an outsider, just say what you want to say. ”

Qi Jin remembered something at this time, and took off his helmet embarrassedly and scratched his scalp, "Master Fan doesn't know, my brother is a little difficult, I originally asked me to say Xiang, I don't want Mu Enxiao to forget about it when he is happy, and I don't blame my brother for being anxious." ”

Fan Jin glanced at Wang Bangping, "Difficulty? I don't know what the difficulty is, and what the official can help with. ”

"It's nothing, it's just that the eldest brother sent out a batch of goods some time ago, and he didn't want to be detained, and this batch of goods was given to Beiyu...... You have to ask the lord to raise his noble hand and be accommodating. ”
