Before joining the Flying Tiger Army, this Zhao Laogen was just a miner in Yiwu. After entering the Flying Tiger Army, he followed Chen Di, Yu Dayou, Tang Shunzhi, Qi Jiguang and others to fight in the south and north, and finally got ahead. A few days ago, he went out with the army to pacify the second Jurchen department, and was awarded the third-class silver leaf medal for capturing the leader of Jiannu Jue Chang'an alive, and at the same time won a reward of 500 acres of meritorious land and became a landlord.

Chen Di ordered a trial planting of sweet potatoes in Zhili's meritorious field. He went to the household department in the morning and took the twenty catties of sweet potatoes back home.

Zhao Laogen's home is in a courtyard outside Shuntian Mansion. If you want to talk about this quadrangle, ordinary people can't afford it. He, the battalion commander of the Flying Tiger Army, has a monthly salary of fifty taels of silver per month, and he also has a large amount of silver every time he goes out to fight. Therefore, he also had considerable savings, and bought the courtyard house from a merchant for two hundred taels of silver.

With a yard, it is natural to marry a big girl, a mother-in-law who can give birth to a big ass. As soon as he heard that the battalion commander of the Flying Tiger Army was going to marry a wife, the matchmaker in ten miles and eight towns almost broke the threshold of Zhao Laogen's house! Who doesn't know that the officers of the Flying Tiger Army have a bright future? And the monthly salary is even more amazing! What's more, what kind of medal does this battalion commander Zhao have, it is said that as long as he hangs that thing on his chest, even if the governor of Zhili sees it, he will salute! If a girl from any family marries him, it will really be eight lifetimes of virtue in the family!

Zhao Laogen is from Zhuanghu and is very honest. The girls introduced to him by the matchmaker have a lot of tender water, and there are also a lot of flowers. But Zhao Laogen thinks that his hands and feet are still thick, and the mother-in-law who went to the ground is safer. He married this mother-in-law named Cuigu. To say that this Cuigu looks average, and even a little ugly, but she is just as good, she can work, and the family will always give Zhao Laogen a clean up. The work in the fields can also be taken and put down.

As soon as Zhao Laogen got home, he poured the twenty catties of sweet potatoes in the sack on the ground and looked at them carefully.

Seeing that Zhao Laogen was back, Cuigu hurriedly served a cup of tea: "The master is back?" Is the camp off today? ”

Zhao Laogen nodded: "Well, I'm on vacation today, you take a look at this rarity!" ”

Cuigu looked at the dozens of sweet potatoes spread on the ground and asked Zhao Laogen: "Boss, what are these?" ”

Zhao Laogen said: "This is a sweet potato. It is said that if you plant one pound of one acre of land, you can harvest two or three thousand pounds! ”

Cui Gu was surprised: "What? Two or three thousand pounds? ”

Cui Gu picked up a sweet potato and looked at it carefully: "This thing。。。。。 Can I eat it? ”

Zhao Laogen said: "I can definitely eat it!" This is what Governor Chen asked us to plant! Can Governor Chen trap us? Wailang, a member of the Department of Agriculture of the Ministry of Households, said that each sweet potato is cut into 10 pieces and planted in the field. This thing is not afraid of drought or waterlogging, and it tastes sweeter than honey! ”

In Zhao Laogen's eyes, Chen Di is a god! It's all a golden rule!

Cui Gu said: "Governor Chen let him plant? You can't be wrong! Since Governor Chen Dadu took power, the life of our small people has been much better! Someone from my mother's family said that the tax collected by the official this year is 30% less than in previous years. The family can finally eat two dry meals a day! ”

Zhao Laogen scolded angrily: "You mother-in-law, even if you have a lot of taxes, can I make your mother's family unable to eat?" Don't forget, we have 500 acres of land now! Your mother's family is short of food, just come to our house to get it! ”

Cui Gu said: "I didn't marry into your family for your five hundred acres of land!" ”

Zhao Laogen smiled and asked, "What is that for?" ”

Cui Gu replied, "Then you still need to ask?" Everyone said that in the Flying Tiger Army under Governor Chen, all of them were great heroes! ”

Zhao Laogen asked: "Then do you think I am a big hero?" ”

Cui Gu pretended to look at Zhao Laogen carefully, and then said, "Look at what you look like, big hero?" The big bear is pretty much the same! ”

Zhao Laogen laughed and said, "Big bear! What nonsense are you! How can I say that I am also the battalion commander of the Flying Tiger Army, and I have fought a lot of battles with real swords and guns! If I am a bear, can Governor Chen invite me to drink in the Jinluan Palace? And toast me personally? ”

Aunt Cui refilled Zhao Laogen's tea: "It's the master!" Governor Chen invited you to go to the Jinluan Palace to drink once, this is enough for you to talk about for ten years! When you meet people, you say, when you see people, you say, look at your beauty! ”

Zhao Laogen said: "What's wrong with that?" Who is Governor Chen? That's a big hero that has only been produced for thousands of years! I followed Chen Dadu to fight the Japanese Invaders, the Tatars, and the Jurchens, which is a blessing from the previous life! If you marry me, you will share some of this blessing! Just steal the fun! ”

Cui Gu picked up a sweet potato and asked, "This thing is full of soil, how can you eat it?" ”

Zhao Laogen said: "The people from the Department of Agriculture of the Ministry of Household Affairs said that if you wash it with water and cook it, you can eat it!" You cook one and try it! ”

Cui Gu took the order and took a sweet potato to the kitchen. After a few pillars of incense, she returned to Zhao Laogen with the boiled sweet potato.

Zhao Laogen broke open the sweet potato: "Hey, it's so fragrant!" ”

He took a bite of the sweet potato: "Sweet, so sweet!" Sweeter than honey! ”

After speaking, Zhao Laogen handed the other half to Cuigu. Cui Gu took a bite: "It's delicious!" Boss, can this thing really beat two or three thousand catties per acre? ”

Zhao Laogen said: "Of course! Can the words of the Metropolitan Governor be false? ”

Cui Gu sang the Buddha: "Amitabha! If this thing can really grow two or three thousand catties per acre, how can our people still be hungry! The Metropolitan Governor is really a living bodhisattva! Where did he get such a precious thing? ”

Zhao Laogen said: "It is said that it was shipped from the West!" Hey, I'm credited with that! ”

Cui Gu asked, "Your merits?" What credit do you have? ”

Zhao Laogen said proudly: "What do you know about your mother-in-law?" At the beginning, the Japanese invaded the sea, and the goods of the Western Ocean drifted across the sea, and nine times out of ten they were robbed by the Japanese on the sea! Our Flying Tiger Army is looking for teeth all over the place in Zhejiang, and now they are like turtles, shrinking on his island and not daring to go to sea. We followed Governor Chen to fight the Japanese in Zhejiang, and you can tell me, can this thing come to our Daming, is there a credit to me? ”

Cui Gu said: "Yes, yes, yes!" You have a lot of credit, right? ”

Zhao Laogen took another sip of tea and said, "Tell the truth!" Tomorrow I will go back to the camp. The people in the household department said that each sweet potato is cut into ten parts, which is ten seeds, and forty seeds are planted in each acre! You have to keep an eye on the tenants and do the job! ”

Cui Gu nodded: "Cheng, if you are in charge, you can serve the Metropolitan Governor in the camp with peace of mind!" You don't have to worry about these things! ”

Zhao Laogen asked again: "By the way, those tenants planted our land, and it is not yet time for harvest." If the family is short of food, we can't learn from those black-hearted landlords who can't be saved when they see death! ”

Cui Gu said, "How can it! The Governor gave us the land, which is the kindness of the Governor! We want to share this kindness with those tenant villagers! I told them that if there is not enough food at home, just ask me for it! ”

Zhao Laogen said with satisfaction: "Hey, my good mother-in-law, reasonable! Our Flying Tiger Army fought desperately to the death, in order to let the villagers live a good life without starvation or freezing! ”
