Chapter 0146: Sweet Potato Harvest

Regarding Zhou Yanru's decision to deal with Ning Zhiyuan's recital, there was a group of people's reconsideration later, Chongzhen just dismissed it with a simple sentence of renegotiation, and everyone didn't know what Chongzhen was thinking.

He still remembered that when he participated in Ning Zhiyuan's marriage ceremony, when the monarch and ministers were talking, Ning Zhiyuan told him about this matter, and said that he would expel Li Jun from the army. Chongzhen was very relieved, because at that time he had not immediately ordered the idea of encircling and suppressing the deserters in Liaodong, but Ning Zhiyuan really expelled Li Jun from the army, although he also came to rob the execution ground, Chongzhen did not think that Ning Zhiyuan was wrong.

He is very satisfied with Ning Zhiyuan now, but he is very dissatisfied with Zhou Yanru, and he is unhappy.

Uniting the officials of the whole court to play, is this to force the palace?

Zu Dashou is very disappointed now, he finally knows the death of Yuan Inspector, and the scene of tens of thousands of people fighting for his flesh makes him want to raise troops to kill directly in the capital.

But he won't, although he was pulled up by Inspector Yuan, but in Zu Dashou's heart, Chongzhen is still the emperor, just like he chose to leave the capital directly instead of counterattacking the capital after Yuan Chonghuan was arrested in the capital last year.

He doesn't like Chongzhen, but he is still a Ming man, so although he still brings his own soldiers with him whenever he goes out in case he is captured by Chongzhen's brocade guards, he is still guarding the frontier.

The northeast is colder than the northwest, and the cold wind is howling.

Zu Dashou stood on the city wall, waiting for reinforcements from Governor Sun, Sun Chengzong, Yuan Chonghuan's teacher, and arguably the only Ming Dynasty official he respected now.

Wu Xiang led nearly 10,000 men and horses towards the Daling City Wall at this time, and he was a little apprehensive about Houjin, after all, the other party's combat power was very strong.

The team he led was very elite, all veterans who had been in the army for more than ten years, but Wu Xiang did not have much confidence, in comparison, his son who was only eighteen years old, Wu Sangui seemed to be high-spirited.

"Stinky boy, don't think that if you hit a martial artist, you will be invincible in the world, how can Houjin be so easy to beat." Wu Xiang said angrily, thinking that the emperor's reopening of martial arts made this kid's tail go to the sky, which is really not a good thing.

However, his face was not so ugly, and from the bottom of his heart, he was very satisfied with this son.

"Daddy, don't worry, we will definitely be able to defeat Houjin in one fell swoop this time and relieve the siege of Uncle Dalinghe." Wu Sangui's slightly green face said firmly.

"When will you be like the governor of Ningningning, I will be relieved." Wu Xiang rolled his eyes and said, Ning Zhiyuan's name had already spread to Liaodong, he knew that this son was arrogant, and if he didn't suppress him well, something might happen on the battlefield.

"Daddy, I'm angry if you say that again." Wu Sangui said unconvinced, "That soldier trained by Ning Zhiyuan can also fight against thieves, but I am fighting Tartars, how can he compare to me." ”

"You forgot about the killing of 20,000 Mongolian cavalry, he was still a scholar, and the soldiers and horses were only trained for a few months, and the court didn't allocate a tael of silver to him, what about you?" Wu Xiang asked, this son is really self-righteous.

"I" Wu Sangui was speechless, he was not a sharp-tongued person, and then he thought about it, his situation here is indeed much better than that of Ningxia, so much military salary every year, and most of the soldiers or civilians who have been at the border for more than ten years have not caused any combat damage to Houjin, this is a fact.

"I'm better than him anyway." Wu Sangui shouted, and decided in his heart that he would also train well after going back this time, those soldiers would be killed if they were disobedient, how could they be suppressed by a scholar who was two years younger than him.

"Where is this?" Wu Sangui shouted again.

Wu Xiang was very helpless, glanced around, and said, "Come to Songshan"

He stopped talking suddenly, as a general with a lot of experience, and he was very familiar with the local terrain, he knew what kind of place Matsuyama Castle was, and there was the most suitable terrain for ambushes.

"Daddy, what's wrong?" Wu Sangui doesn't know why, he is still young, although he has a family, but his understanding of the war is not thorough.

"Isn't it all going to be anywhere in front of it?"

Wu Xiang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed at himself, this kid really told the truth, no matter what place he was in front of, he didn't have to go.

"Are the scouts back?" Wu Xiang was looking at the side and asked the soldiers on the side.

"When I came back, there was no ambush ahead, so I didn't tell the general." The guard said with his head down.

Wu Xiang raised his eyebrows, feeling that Huang Taiji had also been fighting with the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong for so many years, and there was no reason not to ambush in front, but he still continued to move forward, even if there were ambushes in front, he still had to move forward.

Approaching Songshan, Wu Sangui rode a horse and trotted aside, looking very active, but Wu Xiang was not active, from the time he received Sun Chengzong's order, he knew that this battle was not easy to fight.

There was a rush of horses' hooves ahead, and then the noise grew louder and louder.

Wu Sangui stopped and looked at his father in a bit of a daze, while Wu Xiang's expression changed, his face was blue, and he was very ugly.

"Are you so weak? I didn't need to ambush, I just rushed over directly," Wu Xiang thought through gritted teeth.

"Meet the enemy" Wu Xiang shouted, Houjin is obviously a cavalry, if he runs back now, it will be to give his back to others and find death

Ningxia Wei, after waiting in line for several days and nights, the soldiers finally received their own silver, which made them breathe a sigh of relief, and they couldn't help but start looking at this thing called a bank that the governor had made.

The guy inside is a woman, and he is very beautiful, it would be nice if he could marry back, many soldiers thought to themselves, although Ning Daguan had a blind date last time, but after all, there were still many people who did not please their wives, and their hearts were itching.

They all remembered that Ning Daguan had told them that the silver in the future would be taken out of it and, as if they could predict the wages, why don't they try it?

In the backyard of the Governor's Mansion, Ning Zhiyuan lazily hugged a girl, which was a great happiness for him.

He would occasionally flip through the Four Books and Five Classics, and the original body in his head was very impressed by this thing, so he could memorize it without much effort, but for the imperial examination, this was only the basics.

That's a book that any scholar who is a student who is a child examiner can memorize, and that's it.

His favorite thing to do is to watch the sunrise and sunset, although since autumn, there is no sun in the sky many times, and occasionally when there is sun, he will also run on the school field in Ningxia.

No matter what, he still has to try his best to practice the exercises that Chongzhen gave, because it is really good for him, so he practices more often, and in his really limited life, he can leave good memories for a few girls.

Regarding the child, he has been thinking about it, and he is also hesitating whether to let a few girls conceive a child, but in the end he gave up this idea, if he gave birth to a girl and married out at the age of more than ten years, he brought a few women to him, only to lose again, if it was a boy, not to mention, repeat the tragedy.

This idea is a bit selfish, because he has not even discussed such an important matter with a few girls, and he can't discuss it, otherwise from now on, he is afraid that he will never see a few girls smile sincerely.

As a person who lives a life with a plug-in, he has no regrets, but he is a little reluctant, for this era, Ning Zhiyuan has integrated his soul into it, and he has also paid sincerely to several girls.

Life still has to be lived, and it has to be happier than before.

Ning Zhiyuan is always paying attention to the situation in Mongolia, and the current grassland is much simpler than before, with the Horqin tribe supported by Houjin, the growing Chahar, and the three tribes such as Bahrain.

And Bahrain, Ordos and Hongji have formed an alliance in desperation, guarding more than ten cities in the struggle.

Ning Zhiyuan felt that Lin Dan Khan had fallen into a morbid conquest.

At this time, the pressure on the Ordos Department is already very great, as long as they are a little soft, Monan Mongolia will be all in hand except for Horqin, and this stalemate situation is completely unnecessary.

No wonder Huang Taiji was able to successfully divide Mongolia at that time, Ning Daguan thought.

There are dark clouds in the sky, and the wind and rain are blowing.

It's raining.

This rain didn't have much effect, the grain had already been harvested, but it still brought a trace of clarity to Ning Zhiyuan's slightly muddy heart.

The turbid air has been washed away, and that's what it is now.

Naturally, this was just Ning Daguan's assumption, and the reason why he was happy was that it was time to harvest sweet potatoes.

There are only a few thousand acres of land planted, even if the harvest is excellent, it will not play a role for a while, and the key is that this is related to Ning Zhiyuan's future development, he cared about it before, and now, he cares even more.

The rain is not heavy, looking at the smiling faces of people on the street, letting the rain blow on them, you can know that they are all happy, and nothing else.

A group of people in the field began to dig sweet potatoes out of the ground under Ning Zhiyuan's demonstration, and their movements were very rusty, and they were careful for fear of breaking the kind of thing that the adults wanted.

Ning Daguan just smiled, and didn't say anything to change anything, everything, let him go with the flow.

"Adult, my Xiaomin dug out one" There was a trilling and very excited voice next to him, Ning Zhiyuan turned his head and saw that it was a sweet potato, a very big sweet potato, and it was more than ten catties when he saw it like this, which made him very pleased.

After all, this is only the first one dug up by the people.

"Everyone, dig it up, it's enough to cheer you up with such a big thing." Ning Zhiyuan shouted, and the cold rain fell on his face, making him shiver.

There is still a smile on his face, next year will still be a disaster year, this thing is the hope of everyone in Ningxia, and even, the hope of everyone in Daming.

In the five thousand acres of land, there are a lot of people, this kind of sweet potato land does not belong to any one people, but Ning Zhiyuan's own, and Ning Zhiyuan just gave a casual order, but a lot of people came.

He was very moved, there were several people working on an acre of land, men and women, talking and laughing, but in just half an hour, the fields were already full of sweet potatoes.

As the sweet potatoes hidden in the ground continued to be turned out, the surprise on the faces of the people became more and more obvious, and many times when they thought that there was no more, they dug down and found a hidden, and the yield was already more than they imagined.

A soldier took a rod and scale to weigh the yield per mu, and after a while, Ning Daguan came up with an answer that he was very pleased with and expected.

"The yield per mu is 30 stones, and everyone will plant this crop next year, and the villagers will not have to worry about eating and drinking in the future." Ning Zhiyuan shouted like a child at this time.

The people in the field were stunned at first, and then they smiled one by one and began to cheer, my lord, what a man of God.

Half a year ago, they were puzzled when adults planted this crop, and they were even more puzzled when they cut off the top buds, but now that the answer is revealed, they still don't understand, what kind of thing has such a large yield, but they are very happy.

As the adults said, they can also grow this crop next year, and what it tastes like is not in their range, as long as they can eat it.

The people's demands are simple.

After a thousand years, the wind. The stream is always blown away by the rain and the wind.

Ning Daguan was hugging left and right, and he didn't forget to remind Li Dingfang that Jinling's sweet potatoes were about to be harvested, and the sweet potato harvest in Ningxia was mentioned in the letter, so that he could have a bottom first.

At least when Li Dingfang saw the letter, his mouth was big, and then he was melancholy for a while, Zhiyuan would not bluff people before, but it has changed in Ningxia

He continued to read the Four Books and Five Classics, but he felt that he couldn't sit still, so he hurriedly called the servants to collect sweet potatoes, and he admitted that he didn't have much hope for what would grow in this field, but now he didn't want to, so he quickly dug up sweet potatoes.

Li Jinwei has been a little busy recently, the New Year is approaching, it is the peak period of her Li family cloth village business, rich or not, ordinary people, businessmen, officials and soldiers, will make a new set of clothes in Ningguan, of course, the exception of not being able to eat.

The previous Ning officials belonged to this kind.

The struggle with the Tian family is still going on, but it has come to an end, in this regard, the Li family has the advantage, after all, it is common sense to buy clothes, it will be a fixed customer, not like porcelain.

What's more, the Tian family lowered the price before and bought the cloth in their hands, and if they wanted to have enough cloth, they would have to start in the Jinling area, and the cost would undoubtedly increase greatly, and for them, it would only be a thankless task.

Therefore, when Tian Guang and Tian Hua, the two wives of Tian He's main wife, were shouting about the rhetoric of not avenging and swearing to be a person, they took the money to smash it, Tian He scolded the two unangry things with a cold face, and then chose to swallow his anger, there are many ways to take revenge, there is no need to use the stupidest one.

He is wise, but if he really does what he said to his two sons, then Li Jin will really have a headache, and it will be the rhythm of the same end
