Chapter 413: The first month of the second year, the prelude to the great exploration

For Xie Hong, the first month of the first month passed quickly, but the first month of the second year of Zhengde made Zhao Yu feel like a new year. 【Reading.com】

Of course, no matter how cold the winter is, it will pass after all, and seeing the weather getting warmer day by day, his heart is becoming more and more lively.

I just hope that this thing can't be eaten after all, seeing that the rice jar at home has bottomed out, he is also worried about it these days, wondering if he will pull down his face and go to the second uncle to borrow some first, he is a little hungry and nothing, but the old lady is not good.

It was also a cloudless and sunny day, but Zhao Yu's heart was cloudy, and he hesitated in the yard with a rice bag, and he couldn't make up his mind.

"Brother leftover, come out, hurry!" Suddenly, there was a sharp knock on the door, followed by a loud voice.

"What? Lengzi, what's wrong? Zhao Yu was startled at first, but somehow in his heart, he suddenly had some expectations.

Of course, he should reduce his outing activities, so that he can save some food, although he does not understand the law of conservation of energy, but these simple truths are still understood.

It was Leng Zi who replaced him, and maintained the habit of visiting Muchengyi and Nancheng every day, and suddenly came to report the news in such a hurry at this time, could it be that there was movement over there?

"Brother Yuzi, Muchengyi has made a list, saying that it is to let people who have already obtained a share of wasteland reclamation gather, and then divide the land and farm tools!" Leng Zi probably ran all the way back, sweating all the way, and he was out of breath when he spoke, but his excitement could be felt from afar.

"Ahh Great, great! Let's go, let's go! ”

After getting the long-awaited news, Zhao Yu was naturally overjoyed, and he didn't hesitate at the moment, threw down the rice grain bag, and ran out of the door with the flute, for a while, the hunger in the belly and the weakness of the body were gone, and his heart was full of eagerness.

At this time, it is not yet the first month, and the spring ploughing has not yet begun, most of the people are at home, and the movement of the two is not small, which alarmed many people, and the probe came out to take a look, but found that it was these two fools, and they all shook their heads and laughed.

"What are those two stupid boys crazy about?"

"Don't be hungry and stupid, right? If you don't take good money, you have to think about what to open up the wasteland, haven't you seen it? When Zhao Yu's family celebrated the New Year, it was called miserable, and even thousands of adults didn't come to the door, for fear of getting his family's bad luck. ”

"I heard them shouting, saying that they were going to Muchengyi, don't you have something good?" There is also the one who is interested, heard the answer between Zhao Yu and the others, looked at the direction where the two of them went, and said with some doubts.

"Well, those two silly boys did go south, maybe they really ......" Everyone knows that although Zhao Yu's choice is a bit stupid, he is still smart, and he grabbed the head of the last time.

And there are many benefits to grabbing in front, which is also recognized by everyone, if you don't grab the front, where will it be your turn to get the reward from the guy who can't understand what Leng Zi said?

"Let's go check it out." Someone proposed, everyone also responded, anyway, idle is idle, just watch the excitement, in case there is another kind of thing like last time, it will be the second time that pie will fall from the sky, this year is so fat, is it not thanks to the nobleman?

The villages in Jinzhou are not very far from each other, Zhaojia Village suddenly moved the crowd to go out, and several nearby villages also heard the wind, after eating the sweetness once, everyone's thoughts are similar, there is no precedent, it is indeed different.

As a result, although there was no accurate letter, more and more people still converged in the direction of Muchengyi, and the scale even exceeded the last time.

Zhao Yu didn't know how much movement he caused the two of them, and when he ran wildly, he didn't even notice the road under his feet, his eyes looked at the south stubbornly, until he saw the familiar ridge of Muchengyi, he let out a sigh of relief and felt tired.

The list text was posted at the door of the Mucheng Station, but Zhao Yu was illiterate and couldn't read, so their eyes quickly fell on the old Liu Tou below the list text.

"It's you two who grabbed the head again, dog, you kid is really clever." The old man looked at the two of them, nodded, and said with a smile.

"Uncle Liu, will you start now?" Seeing Lao Liu's attitude, Zhao Yu also had a bottom in his heart, and asked eagerly.

"What's the hurry? The ground is there, and it won't fly, wait a little longer, and when everyone arrives, I will take you directly to the field, the farm tool is new, so that it will be tested and tested, and I called you here today, mainly for this. Old Liu Tou glanced into the distance, and his mouth was also babbling.

"At this time...... Zhao Yu was very confused, what farm tools can he test now? If you test it on the wasteland, it can only be a plow and a rake, although after the New Year, even if it is spring, but now it is still cold here in Jinzhou, the snow in the ground has not melted, and the soil is even more frozen hard, what plow can plow this kind of land?

"Uncle Liu, don't make a mistake, right?" Lengzi's heart was straight, and there were not so many twists and turns in his stomach, so he asked directly when he thought of it.

"So, it's going to be experimental, and when spring plowing begins, where will it be in time? You can just wait for a while, you've been waiting for a month, and you're still missing a moment and a half? Old Liu Tou waved his hand, signaling the two to be restless.

Zhao Yu thought about it, so he grabbed his companion and flashed aside, waiting for Lao Liu Tou to arrange.

The waiting time is not very long, there are not many people who spend money for the share of wasteland, and they are all very tight, although there are no people like Leng Zi who come every day, but there is such a big movement outside, it is impossible not to hear it at all, after receiving the news, these people are also rushing to come, and the people who gathered to see the excitement just rushed to the front and back.

“…… That's it, since everyone has arrived, let's go with the old man. Seeing that everyone had already gathered, and there were a lot of additional onlookers, Lao Liu Tou explained it slightly, waved his hand directly, and motioned for everyone to follow him.

Port Arthur is a peninsula, although the area is not small, but it is not very big, according to Xie Hong's planning, this is a dock area and an industrial area, and it can also be regarded as a military area, for the sake of security and confidentiality, of course, it will not accommodate farmland here.

Therefore, the wasteland demarcated by Xie Hong is all north of Muchengyi, near the Jinzhou Guard, and Lao Liu Tou and everyone are also running there.

"What time of year is going to open up the wasteland? This noble man really doesn't understand the work in the field, isn't it messy? ”

"But no, that old Liu Tou is too, he hasn't been on the ground, and he doesn't know how to persuade, he must be suddenly proud, and he is overwhelmed with joy, right?"

"Hmph, I think so."

While walking, the audience was also discussing, and most of the people were very red at the old Liu Tou who suddenly climbed up to the high branches, and everyone didn't dare to talk about the rights and wrongs of the nobles, but there was no pressure to count the old man's words.

Of course, the main target of ridicule is still focused on those who have received the wasteland, and the nobles don't even know the most basic things, so if they want to reclaim the wasteland, they can only rely on themselves, but if it is so easy to open up the wasteland, why wait until today?

Except for Zhao Yu and the others, the rest of the people who received the share were all frustrated in their hearts, and deeply regretted how they were stupid in the first place, doing such a brainless thing, and squandering the good money. In the face of the ridicule of others, they were all ashamed and embarrassed, and they couldn't raise their heads at all.

…… Because he had to transport tools, Xie Hong also set off relatively early, and met Qi Cheng and others in Jinzhouwei, so when he arrived at the destination, he was not much earlier than the people. When loading and unloading, you can already see a crowd of people in the distance.

"My lord, it seems to be a little early now, right?"

With this free time, Qi Cheng hurriedly came to the side of the scholar in his mind, and when the latter looked up, he asked the question that pressed in his heart.

"Early? It's okay, Commander Qi, the livestock, seeds, and everything are ready. Xie Hong waved his hand indifferently and asked lightly.

Now is the test, of course, in advance, if it doesn't work, you have to modify something, you have to rush to complete all this before the spring ploughing, how to do it if you don't hurry. What's more, in the environment of relatively harsh terrain and weather under the test, this is also the proper meaning, if this can be passed, practical will naturally encounter less trouble.

"Lord Hui, after getting your orders, I have already made all the preparations, just rest assured." After Qi Cheng made up his mind, he also chose the third option that Xie Hong listed for him, that is, to use resources such as fields and manpower to buy shares, livestock, seeds, and other things, which were prepared in thousands of households, and Xie Hong used them easily.

"Well, everyone is here, so let's get started, uncle...... Commander Qi, you can command, just like I just said. Xie Hong originally wanted to hand over this work to Wang Shouren, but since the last discussion, the latter has fallen into a strange state, pondering all the time, or absent-minded.

Why he was suddenly called 'virtuous brother', why he was suddenly asked for advice on the way of things, and why Wang Shouren became like this in the end, Xie Hong was completely confused.

He was also very frightened, he didn't know what he had said that led to this result, but he tried it repeatedly, but he didn't find anything wrong with his words and deeds.

How could a good quasi-saint become like this? If the other party is no better, then won't he become a sinner in Huaxia? This incident cast a shadow on Xie Hong's heart, diluting the joy of the successful development of new agricultural tools and being called a virtuous brother by the other party.

Of course, Qi Fatzi didn't know this, even if he was a little distracted, it was far from being able to see through Xie Hong's thoughts, but he was still sincerely happy to be entrusted with a heavy responsibility, which meant that he was beginning to be accepted and would soon be able to dissolve under the command of Champion Hou.

"On behalf of the governor, Ben will make preliminary preparations for the reclamation work, and the people who have received the share of the wasteland will come out, and everyone else will be quiet for Ben General." He stepped forward and yelled.
