The first month of the eleventh year of Yongli is the first New Year without Chen Wen in Jinhua Mansion in recent years. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

From the end of the fifth year of Yongli Chen Wen recovered Jinhua, the land of eight counties of the government, the two battles of Quzhou in the sixth year of Yongli, the four provincial capitals in the seventh year of Yongli, the sweep of Jiangxi in the eighth year of Yongli, and then the two famous kings in the ninth year of Yongli and the sweep of Fujian and Guangdong in the tenth year of Yongli, the rise of the Ming army in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang, even in the most difficult situation, Chen Wen also spent it with the people of Jinhua Mansion. But now, the Yue Wangfu moved to Nanjing for the consideration of the Northern Expedition, leaving only one palace still standing in the city.

The Northern Expedition is a top priority for the Ming army in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and even more so for the whole of China, Jinhuafu's own geographical location is so, and the people are understandable, at least the days still have to live, especially in the transition period today, it is necessary to focus all the energy on how to live a better life, and the relocation of the Yue Wangfu is just a conversation after dinner.

In Tangya Town, Jinhua County, Jinhua Prefecture, the Tangya Town Planting Cooperative has long been established, and the military households who have joined the cooperative sign contracts to cooperate in planting, and hire tenants as planting workers at a salary slightly higher than that of the tenants, and the same is true for each household.

Now that it is the first month of the new year, the new year has not yet dissipated, and the cooperative has organized its members and planters to go to the land to cultivate the land and prepare for sugarcane planting.

Sugarcane loves temperature and light, and has a great demand for water. The first two can only look at God, but Zhejiang was originally a sugarcane producing area in later generations, and the same was true in the Ming Dynasty. There is a record in the county annals of Taiping County, Taizhou Prefecture, which is adjacent to Jinhua: "There are two kinds of sugarcane, bamboo and di, and its stems are knotted, and they are planted in spring and grown in winter." When the juice is boiled, it becomes brown sugar, and when boiled, it becomes white sugar. Today, Fujian people take more frosting from this. ”

The temperature and light are still guaranteed in Zhejiang, and since Jinhua has become more and more peaceful, households have already begun to resume the cultivation of sugarcane, which is not to be mentioned. The problem of water is the biggest problem that the cooperative has to face now, as the canals of the fields where rice, wheat and vegetables were planted in the past had to be renovated to make it more suitable for the cultivation of sugar cane, as was the case with the members and workers here.

"According to the guidance book issued by the palace, sugarcane needs a lot of water to grow, but it can't be waterlogged, and it is also particular about using water. The excavation method of the canal is clearly written above, we have completed the transformation of the canal, and we must prepare the land and dig the cane ditch as soon as possible, so we must not delay the planting. ”

Pan Baihu took the guide book and mobilized loudly in front of the members and workers, and several old crops including Uncle Shi among the members also came to the front, they didn't know how to read, but they had planted the land all their lives, and many things were thorough, which complemented Pan Baihu.

"Uncle Shi, the land you are responsible for supervising does not need to modify the canal, just use the original one, and let everyone go over and repair it tomorrow."

"Okay, then I'll follow everyone to change this land today."

As he spoke, Uncle Shi was about to roll up his sleeves and go to the ground. Seeing this, Pan Baihu dragged him back, and then said to him: "Uncle Shi, let the boys below do this hard work, you are an old master, just teach them." Besides, if you don't pass on the ability, it's gone, what a pity. ”

Shi Daniu's father was originally a wooden family, but he came back from the Yue Wang's Mansion, and it seems that he has found some self-confidence by talking and laughing with His Royal Highness the Yue King, who is descending from the stars, and has been talking a little more recently, but his wife and children are still a little uncomfortable.

Hearing the first half of Pan Baihu's sentence, Uncle Shi's heart was still wondering whether to ask him if he thought he was old, but with the second half of the sentence, he became frowning and laughing, and his mouth was full of listening to Pan Baihu's arrangement.

With the participation of members, the land assigned to the cooperative has already been mapped in the cooperative and managed by shards. On the ridges of the field, Pan Baihu took a few crops to explain the content of the guide book while discussing how to plant. He is a local hundred, although this matter is not all his own job, but after all, this is also part of the political achievements, not only to help the military households, but also to benefit the career, why not do it.

In the fields, the members and workers were also hoeing and digging ditches according to the instructions, sweating like rain. In the distance, the members of the society and the women of the workers' families were walking with water and water, and even followed a group of little children to chase and fight around, so it was not lively.

To have such a scene, in addition to the consciousness of the members and workers, the business profits, the tenants can have bonuses, the members can share dividends, and with a greater momentum, it is natural to be more motivated.

The time is tight and the task is heavy, so they must complete the planting before February and March, otherwise the harvest will be affected. And in addition to land preparation and other things, the cooperative also plans to build fences to reduce wild beasts and man-made damage. After all, they are planting in a large area, and they are robbing the households of their jobs, and they need to have an extra eye to better ensure the harvest.

This is true in the town of Tangya, near Jinhua County, and in Yongkang County to the south. Nantang Battalion veteran Ding Keji, that is, Ding Junjie's father's pension field, is there, and now it is also a cooperative.

Previously, due to the loss of the income of the pension land operated by the tenants, dozens of acres of land could receive a lot of money, but there was a lot of difference from what was imagined. What's more, the lady of the Ding family has always planned to save more money to talk about Ding Junjie's family affairs, and later Ding Junjie's grades have always been among the best after entering the Boy Scout Academy, and his expectations are naturally higher, so he always feels that the silver is still not enough.

Now the cooperative has been established, saying that it is to grow sugarcane, and has signed a contract with a cane sugar production workshop supported by His Royal Highness King Yue, as long as it can be planted and the yield loss is not large, even if it puts aside the maintenance costs of the cooperative and the wages of the workers, it will always be more profitable than farming.

With better hope, Ding Junjie also completed the assessment of the Boy Scout Academy a year ago, and his results were the first place in this year.

Nanjing University Hall has already confirmed the enrollment, although I don't know what it is doing there, but there is always more hope. For this reason, the lady of the Ding family has not slept well for several days and nights, which can be said to be very happy. As a result, even the salute for moving to Nanjing was ready, but Ding Junjie put forward the idea of joining the army, which really shocked her.

Six years ago, her husband Ding Keji died in the first battle of the Nantang Battalion, and it was also the battle behind the Siming Mountain Palace that had already been written into the history books by many historians.

"Xiaojie, although our family is not as rich as the other robes and families who have followed the king from Dalan Mountain, they are not bad, why bother to eat this severed head meal."

Compared with the veterans of the Nantang Battalion in the same period, the life of the Ding family is not good. In the final analysis, if you die on the battlefield in the first battle, you can only receive the previous military salary, the burning money for the dead in battle, and these dozens of acres of pension fields. But compared with ordinary households, they are also small landlords with these dozens of acres of land in hand, even if they have not managed well over the years, but they can't reach the embarrassing days when their family was in Siming Mountain.

"Mother, the child is not in the army for any military merits, the child is going to kill the Tartar and avenge his father."

"What kind of revenge, didn't your Uncle An say it at the beginning, the murderer who killed your father has been killed by your Uncle An and Uncle Niu, and your father's revenge has been avenged. Listen to my mother's words, go to that university hall to study, and then go to work for His Royal Highness King Yue when I come out, sharpen my knife and not chop wood, why rush at this time. ”

"Mother, you and Uncle An sent the children to the Boy Scout Academy, the gentleman in the school said, His Royal Highness King Yue also said when he inspected the school, whether it is the slaughter of the city or the washing of the mountain, it is the atrocity done by the Tartars, whether it is the Green Camp or the Eight Banners, in the final analysis, they are all accomplices of the Tartars' cruelty against China.

"Daddy was killed by the Green Battalion soldier who raised the left battalion, but the Green Battalion soldier was only following the orders of the Tartar officer, and the Tartar officer was sent by the Tartar governor and governor. But in the final analysis, it is still the instigation of the slave chieftain family who are now entrenched in Beijing and sucking Huaxia ointment, and they are the culprits who killed their father! ”

The son's stubbornness is just like his father's, but his father has been smoothed out by a miserable life, while her son is at the age of his prime.

Looking at her son, the lady of the Ding family couldn't help but think of her husband who died early. When they fled from the chaotic Taizhou to Siming Mountain, they went through a lot of hardships, if it wasn't for Chen Wen recruiting warriors, I am afraid that their family would have died of hunger and cold long before the Qing army washed the mountain. But the good days didn't last long, and the lady of the Ding family clearly remembered that in the early morning of the second day of the battle behind the Siming Mountain Palace, the Nantang battalion caught up with the people's brigade, and other people's families, even the wounded soldiers, would loudly tell the small but significant battle, and what their mother and son could wait for was only a cold corpse.

"Xiaojie, don't you know, your father died in the army back then. The war is too threatening, you haven't married yet, if there is a case, the old Ding family will be extinct, what face do you have to call your mother to see your father. ”

When the lady of the Ding family said this, she was already in tears. Ding Junjie was also very uncomfortable when he saw his mother like this, but he had already made up his mind, even when he entered the Boy Scout Academy and listened to Chen Wen's speech at the beginning of school.

"Mother, the child still remembers that Daddy has had two vacations after entering the camp, the first is that the Nantang Battalion defeated the Zhongying in the martial arts, and the second time is the Mid-Autumn Festival, Daddy will talk to the child about the things in the camp every time he comes back, and every time he mentions that His Royal Highness the King of Yue said that the existence of the Nantang Battalion is to protect the territory and the people, and to drive out the Tartars, Daddy will have a sense of pride. In the battle of Siming Mountain, Dad fulfilled his oath under the banner of the Flying Tiger in Nantang Camp, and the child believed that he should be very relieved at the moment of his death. ”

Tears crossed the boy's face, but there was a pride on that face, a pride and glory from the heart.

"Daddy has fulfilled his oath, and he is the eternal pride of the child. Today, under the leadership of His Royal Highness King Yue, the king of Jiangsu and Zhejiang has recovered the southeastern half of the wall, and the Northern Expedition will be launched in a year or two. Mother, if there is no Tartar, my father will not die in battle, this is the last chance, and the child must be like his father, avenge the living, hate the dead, kill thieves and protect the people, and avenge the blood feud for the well-being of the Chinese people and those who died in vain! ”

Ding Junjie had made up his mind, which surprised Shi Xiaoniu, and his mother failed to convince him. Early the next morning, the sky was slightly bright, and Ding Junjie got his wish to meet the dawn and morning dew and set foot on the road to Jinhua Mansion City, while his mother looked into the distance with tears in her eyes.

………………

Ding Junjie set off north to Jinhua, while Chen Wen had already arrived in Nanjing, where he spent the New Year of the 11th year of Yongli.

It's just that it's no different from when he was in Jinhua, Chen Wen's New Year is still spent at work, and it's still the same as before, Chinese New Year's Eve, the first day of junior high school is at home, the second year of junior high school is going to Zhou's house, which has just moved to Nanjing, and then he has to return to the state of work.

Fortunately, according to the reports of the Health Center and the Supervision Department, as well as the private correspondence of Sun Yu and Wang Jiang, the pilot projects in Jinhua and Nanchang are now in full swing. Planting freely frees hands and feet, and also stimulates enthusiasm. However, Chen Wen is not as optimistic as most people, because the transformation is bound to bring pains.

"If the planting fails, the military households will be emotionally negative, which will affect morale. The husband's method is to issue a guide and send experienced personnel to assist in order to enhance the success rate. If there is a bumper harvest, the husband is trying his best to expand the scale and number of workshops, but the finished products produced may not be able to be eaten by North Korea and Japan alone. ”

Zhou Yueying's sleep and diet in the past two days have not been very good, probably because the fatigue of the journey has not been completely relieved. After dinner here, he looked at the report in the study, but he was able to show great interest, obviously with great interest in Chen Wen's next response.

"This is easy to do, the husband has sent someone to Macao and the Taixi maritime merchants who came to China, telling them that if they want to make a fortune, they will come with more ships in the second half of this year, and they have a market, not to mention anything else, Taixi is a bottomless pit. In addition, Weifu also has ties with Guangdong, and it is time to open up a route with Nanyang, just counting on North Korea and Japan, and those two small countries can't meet the needs of Weifu. ”

Chen Wen has already made up her mind, and Zhou Yueying has also calmed down a little, as for the next chain reaction, she has some expectations, and she has also mentioned it to Chen Wen, but Chen Wen's attitude that hangs her appetite gives her more room to think.

However, after chatting for a while, Zhou Yueying felt a little nauseous, and hurriedly went to the spittoon and vomited. just spitting around, and basically some water, more or even just nausea, really made Chen Wen, who was supporting him on the side, feel a little worried.

"Lady, what's wrong, let's find a Lang Zhong to come over and take a look."

"Don't, husband, it's not good to be too excited this big night."

After drinking a sip of water, Zhou Yueying easily swallowed the nausea, and hurriedly stopped Chen Wen's rejuvenation. But she was also a little unsure, and hesitated for a moment before saying to Chen Wen: "Husband, the concubine body may be there, the last time Huai Xinruo was so disgusting, I felt much lighter than last time, even the concubine body is not sure." ”

"Got it?"

Hearing this, Chen Wendeng was stunned. Counting the days, Zhou Yueying's last birth was at the end of the eighth year of Yongli, and now even his eldest daughter is two years old, and it is normal to be pregnant with a second child.

"Great."

Chen Wen helped Zhou Yueying to his seat, and he was overjoyed. However, Zhou Yueying is still not sure, and at the same time, she is afraid that if she is pregnant with another daughter, this is also quite unfavorable to Chen Wen's current momentum.

"I'm not sure yet, the concubine will find a Lang Zhong tomorrow to take a look."

"Well, it's safer to find a Lang Zhong to see."

With new hope, Chen Wen's mood also rose, but since Zhou Yueying was suspected of being pregnant, it was not good for him to read the report in the study for too long, so he went to wash and rest after a while.

However, Chen Wen had just gone to bed and was still chatting with Zhou Yueying, when a sound of footsteps came from the courtyard, and Zhou Yueying's eldest girl, Mo'er, who is now in charge of the maids and old mothers, knocked on the door, and next to her stood an officer from the Military Intelligence Department.

After reading the report, Chen Wen had to put on his clothes again, and sent someone to notify a series of departments involved to hold a meeting overnight. And what he left for Zhou Yueying was only one sentence: "After receiving a report, Sun Kewang wantonly divided the title in Guiyang, and was suspected of raising troops to commit crimes in the south." ”
