Looking at the sky with Cao Shuo, Tian Feng smiled and said, "It's a coincidence, but I'm afraid this snow is going to fall tonight." ”

"Tonight?" Cao Shuo was stunned: "There is still a day's journey from Shouchun here, if it snows tonight, we will have to rush through the wind and snow." ”

"I'm just a person who escaped death, but I have to brave the wind and snow to get away." Tian Feng said: "It really scares me. ”

"Can you still be afraid of a snowstorm when you lead troops to fight?" Cao Shuo said with a smile: "If it really snows heavily tonight, I think it's just right to come to greet Tian Gong." ”

"Oh?" Tian Feng asked, "Why does Childe think so?" ”

"Tonight is destined to not return to Shouchun, if it really snows, Tian Gong and I will cook a pot of wine in the house, and the snow will fall outside the window, you and I will taste wine in the house and talk about the world, isn't it a beautiful thing?" Cao Shuo asked with a slight smile.

"Childe is not only famous for his martial arts, but he is also an elegant person." Tian Feng said with a smile: "Since Gongzi has Yaxing, when he is stationed, I will accompany Gongzi to chat about big things!" ”

The dragon pattern cavalry and the more than 100 flying bear battalions led by Zhu Ao joined forces.

The team walked in the direction of Shouchun until it was dark, and Cao Shuo ordered to find the nearest village and town to settle down.

Today's Huainan is no longer what Cao Shuo just took over.

Every ten or twenty miles, there will be a decent town, and as for the small villages, there are even more of them.

After a while, the dragon pattern rider who was in charge of pathfinding folded back.

In front of Cao Shuo, the dragon rider hugged his fists and said: "Qi Yu Gongzi, there are two villages just two miles ahead, one of which is a military village. ”

In various parts of Huainan, military households and ordinary villages are intertwined, and Cao Shuo is not surprised to find two villages at the same time.

"Tonight at the foot of the military village." Cao Shuo gave an order to the dragon pattern horse.

Chen Zhi glanced at Deng Zhan.

Deng Zhan took a few dragon pattern riders and galloped towards the two villages first.

"The people living in Junhu Village are all my former subordinates." Cao Shuo said to Tian Feng: "It is safer to settle there at night than in an ordinary village." ”

"General Zhu also mentioned Junhu Village to me." Tian Feng said: "It is said that there are no thieves under Gongzi's rule, and it is also because there are military villages in various places, and there is no place for thieves at all. ”

"Years of war and chaos have led to a shortage of people in various places. The fields are barren and uncultivated, and if the soldiers are not distributed to various places, and they are half soldiers and half farmers, it will be very difficult to raise grain and grass in the event of a major war. Cao Shuo said: "After coming to Huainan, I encouraged birth and breeding, so that the early people here could prosper. With people, I can really be called powerful. ”

"Childe is thinking about it very much." Tian Feng said: "No matter when, no matter where, if you want to be truly strong, people are the most fundamental. ”

Cao Shuo and Tian Feng were talking, and they had already come to the entrance of Junhu Village.

When the military households in the village heard that Cao Shuo was coming, the men and women with their children were waiting at the entrance of the village.

The military village is different from ordinary villages.

Here are all soldiers who have retired from the army, there are no old people in the village, and when you look at the past, they are all strong men and women in those years.

When he arrived at the entrance of the village, Cao Shuo looked around at the people who came out to greet him, and said with a slight smile: "There are good people in the village, and there are really a lot of children. ”

"We don't dare not do what Childe explained." The centurion in charge of the military village replied: "In another ten years, the population of the village may triple again." ”

"Twice as little is not enough." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "At least give me five times more, I don't care how tired you are, since you have a mother-in-law, you have to spread the branches and leaves to make your family prosperous." ”

"What Childe ordered, we wrote it down." Baifu smiled, and then said to Cao Shuo: "Childe, the house has been cleaned, please enter the village to rest." ”

"Tian Gong, let's go into the village." Cao Shuo greeted Tian Feng.

Junhu Village is not small, but the hundreds of people brought by Cao Shuo into the village are not so big.

The villagers made room for the Dragon-Patterned Rider and the Flying Bear Battalion.

The soldiers lived in one room with thirty or twenty people, and although it was crowded, it was much better than sleeping in the wilderness.

Baifu gave up his mother-in-law and children, and the family was given to Cao Shuo and Tian Feng.

There were two oil lamps lit in the room, and the light was not too dark.

Baifu brought a table for the two of them, and said to Cao Shuo: "Childe, there is no decent wine in the village, but some home-brewed. ”

"You also make wine?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Life is better, there is some surplus food, in addition to selling it to the army, some of it is also used to make wine." Baifu said: "In fact, when making wine, the big guys are a little unhappy, after all, food is so expensive. ”

"It would be nice to have a surplus of food." Cao Shuo said: "You can drink less wine, and you have to save enough food to support your family." There are more and more children, and although the government will help you, the pressure on yourself will not be too small. I have already arranged for a lot of gentlemen to be invited, and by the beginning of spring, there should be many schools open, and you will send all the children over when the time comes. Remember, boys and girls have to be sent. ”

"What kind of school do girls let them go to?" Baifu smiled: "When you grow up, you can marry it." ”

"Husbands and children always have to understand some truth." Cao Shuo said: "Children learn more things, and when they grow up, they can broaden their horizons. More importantly, I need talents, and the more children learn the truth, the more talents I can select. The rest of the village, you have to talk to them, too. Some of these ideas are when it's time to change. ”

"I've written down what Childe taught." Centurion answered.

As he was talking, there was a soft "crackling" sound from the eaves.

"It's snowing." Hearing the sound, Cao Shuo smiled slightly and said to Tian Feng: "Tian Gong looks at the weather and is still more accurate than me. ”

"There is always something to know about the celestial phenomena and the landforms." Tian Feng replied: "When marching and fighting, the weather is often the key to success or failure, of course, you must be able to see the wind, snow, rain and frost. ”

"Tian Gong has such a ability, I still have to worry about whether he will be invincible in the future?" Cao Shuo first grinned at him, and then said to the centurion: "It's not early, send us two jars of wine, and you can go back to accompany a few mothers-in-law and children at home." Tian Gong and I still have something to say. ”

The centurion answered and exited the room.

After a while, several village women arrived with a few jars of wine and some meat to drink.

After they were arranged, Cao Shuo opened a jar of wine and asked Tian Feng, "Does Tian Gong want to drink warm wine or cold wine?" ”

"Cold wine is refreshing, just cold." Tian Feng replied: "You don't need to do it, I'll pour the wine." ”
