Chapter 579: Harvesting Autumn Grain
Speaking of this, Liu Cai looked up and down at Surut and Sude, "I'm afraid it won't work." ”
"Lord Liu laughed." Surut replied, "We just want to cut the wheat, and Yueto still hates us for being clumsy." ”
Let the Mongolian people cut the wheat, it's funny to think about it, I'm afraid that not only will you not be able to cut the wheat, but you will also hurt yourself.
"It's a trivial errand," Su De said, "Yue Tuo arranged for our Sunit Department to supervise their collection of grain, he was afraid that these people would be lazy." ”
"Being an overseer?" Zhiwen asked.
"That's what it means, it seems that the Haraqin people who followed Azig south also did this." Surut replied.
"It's strange, as the master, why don't they do it themselves?" Lin Qiao asked.
"I guess it's too busy." Song Xiance continued, "Jiannu's main attention still has to be on the Ming army in Jinzhou City, right?" ”
"That's right." Su De was a little embarrassed, "The Jin people are not worried that our Sunit Department will fight against the Ming army alone, so they simply assigned us the work of overseeing the work that will not go wrong, by the way, Yue Tuo also promised that he would give us some more food afterwards." ”
Sulut didn't care about the Jin people's contempt, "At first, I didn't want to agree, I just wanted to be on guard around as before, but Yue Tuo said, either as an overseer, or outside the city to resist the Ming army, we are not stupid, so we should respond to the overseer's mission." ”
"Alright, don't put gold on your face." Su De said disdainfully, "Even if we are willing to deal with the Ming army, then Yue Tuo is not at ease, it sounds like a choice between two or others, but in fact, there is only one choice." ”
The two of them shouted here, but Liu Cai frowned over there, as if he had thought of something, "Overseeing the harvesting of wheat?" Then he applauded, "Okay, great." ”
Everyone who was still chatting next to him was taken aback by his actions, and Liu Cai immediately realized that he was out of shape, and said a little embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, everyone, I thought that in this way, it would be much easier to find my father if I could get in touch with the Han people under the Jin people." ”
Zhiwen sighed, "It's hard for you, Brother Liu, don't worry, since we let us be the supervisor, we will help you find Uncle Liu together when the time comes." ”
Liu Cai's heart was to find his father, and follow Zhiwen to Sunit's department, thinking that it would take a few days to deal with Jiannu, and then he had a chance, but he didn't expect that there would be Jin soldiers and horses with Baoyi that day.
It's just that Mongolia and Jin have their own camps, except for important things, they can't easily enter the Houjin camp, and there is no way to start looking for people, but I didn't expect Yue Tuo to let them be the supervisor of Baoyi, which is convenient.
"Thank you." Liu Cai is also not polite, knowing this kind of thing, it is natural that the more people who help, the better.
Jiannu moved quickly, and early the next morning, a large number of Han slaves were sent to the fields to begin harvesting wheat, and Yue Tuo himself still had 4,000 men and horses left, and he was in the center to deal with the east and west teams.
Naturally, Sudsulut had to arrange for people to enter the fields together, and really supervise the people who did the work, and the minions who had been carried the flag to do it, and Sunit's men and horses were not so much overseers as force deterrence, in case the Han slaves could not bear the torture and resist by force.
In addition, external vigilance is still Sunit's business, and Sulut Sude took out 500 sentry spies and scattered them to the north and south to gain insight into the battle situation in the two places.
On Zhiwen's side, everyone who knows Liu Laohan, such as Nan Nan and the three girls, as well as Song Xiance, Zhiwen and Liu Cai, take people to drill into the ground all day long, hoping to have a harvest, Lin Yuan and Lin Qiao's brothers and sisters are idle and busy.
At first, everyone gathered together, and they had to find one field after another, but later they found that this was too inefficient, so they simply dispersed to ensure that there were people who knew Liu Laohan among them.
Zhiwen and Nan Nan naturally knew Liu Laohan, but the brother and sister were reluctant to separate, so the two formed their own group and wandered around with a few Mongolian soldiers.
It was in the afternoon, the season of wheat cutting, the sun was still very hot, and the ground was steaming, Zhiwen took the nannan, and finally found a shady place, and together with the Mongolian soldiers, while resting, eating dry food and drinking water, and resting for a while.
"Dog minion! I'm lazy again, why are I lying on the ground again! Someone next to him suddenly roared, in Chinese, accompanied by the whipping of leather whips, as well as the begging and moaning of the beaten person, breaking this rare moment of silence.
Zhiwen grabbed Nannan, who stood up and wanted to meddle with things, shook his head at her, and sat back on the ground dejectedly.
The two of them could hear that the beaters and the beaters were all Han Chinese, and the beaters were just minions with a higher status.
These days, looking for Liu Laohan everywhere, I see a lot of this kind of scene, those who carry the flag, think they are superior, treat their compatriots more ruthlessly, if someone is a little slack, they will jump out and scold.
At first, Zhiwen was not used to it, and he blocked it several times as a Mongolian, although they were all under the orders of the Jin, but the status of the Mongolians was still higher than that of the Han, and they had the duty of surveillance, and these coats still gave face.
However, there are more and more such things, and Zhiwen and others are gradually becoming less nosy, not that Zhiwen and they are unwilling to rescue their compatriots, but that they have done too much of this kind of thing, and it is inevitable that they will be stabbed by these clothed minions to the Jin people, and they will attract suspicion for no reason, which is not worth it.
Although the lives of the Han people are not worth much in the eyes of Jiannu, but when the wheat is harvested, one less person is one less labor, and on this ground, it makes sense to save each other.
Only Nan Nan is not used to it, she can't see people suffering, and when she hears the beating and scolding, she subconsciously wants to be nosy.
"Daddy, Daddy! What's wrong with you, wake up. The sound of the whip was still ringing, and the girl's cry came, but her father did not respond, followed by a few delicate muffled snorts, and it was clear that the whip had fallen on the girl's body.
"Brother!" Nan Nan couldn't sit still, staring at Zhiwen, which meant that if Zhiwen didn't come to the rescue, she would go by herself.
Zhiwen glanced at a Mongolian soldier, who put down his dry food, crossed the wheat straw bushes, and said to the beating man in Mongolian, "It's almost enough, if you are killed, there will be one less person to harvest wheat, and if you delay the Dajin military plane, you can't afford it." ”
"That's what this lord said." Bao Yi's tone immediately became extremely flattering, "It's cheaper for you, little girl, if it weren't for this lord's intercession, your father would still have a few whips to escape, and I wouldn't thank this lord." ”
"The slave family has thanked the military master." A crisp girl's voice sounded.
