Chapter 137: The Harvest Season
Xiaotian came to Huangzhuang, only to know what is the real 'serving crops', the closer to maturity, the more these bigwigs suffer from gains and losses, usually speaking, the Ming Dynasty farming is one person serving three or five acres of land, but this potato is not ordinary, that is three or five people serving one acre of land. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info has truly achieved fine farming, and if anyone does not serve well, he will be beaten at the light of the board, and even killed by the head.
That's it, after these potatoes and corn grow, everyone is red-eyed, and the Qi family army brought by Qi Jiguang is temporarily called, all of them stand guard with weapons, and no one is allowed to approach, every day as if they are facing a great enemy.
This is not counting, twelve hours in the field rotation, in short, you can't leave people, at this time there is no pesticide, even if there is no way to fight these babies, these people's only job in the field every day is to catch, as for birds, mice, or whatever, not to mention, we can't afford to eat, how can we let them eat?
The first meeting between Xiaotian and Qi Jiguang, he was directing his subordinates to catch a wild cat that accidentally ran over, the wild cat was also dexterous, and he slipped into the cornfield.
At this time, I saw a strong man, a muscular body like the governor, took out a one-man high bow, shouted a string like a full moon, accurately found the wild cat in the dense corn stalks, and shot the wild cat apart with a loud sound, you must know that this cat is much more difficult to shoot than a person, his speed is faster than the bird in the sky, and in this cornfield, the difficulty of shooting a cat is not less than bending a bow and shooting an eagle, and the people who eat melons have applauded "Xu Qianhu good archery, Xu Qianhu shoots".
At this time, I only heard the Xu Qianhu turn around and order: "Okay, don't be a sycophant, hurry up and pick up the dead cat, be careful not to hurt the crops."
This time, he almost didn't scare these thousands of households into a heart attack, and dozens of people watched his performance just now with great interest. Forget it, who are these audiences, although Xu Qianhu doesn't know everything, but he knows the official uniform, the scarlet robe of Yishui'er, there is no different color at all, where has he seen this formation in a small Qianhu?
No, it can't be said to be a scarlet robe, didn't you see that the one standing at the front was wearing a light robe?
Xu Qianhu didn't know it, but Qi Jiguang did, and hurriedly saluted: "The last general doesn't know that the holy car is here, and he is disappointed, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive his sins."
Jiajing said: "It's okay, I'm in a hurry this time, hurry, don't talk about these false courtesies, hurry up and order someone to harvest the crops." ”
Qi Jiguang was stunned, harvesting crops? Didn't you say that you have to wait for some auspicious day of the zodiac? However, he knew that this was not something he could ask, so he hurriedly arranged for the harvest.
When harvesting, the peasants, sergeants, and eunuchs all became extremely careful, for fear of breaking a little, the corn was good to say, the potatoes grew under the ground, they were afraid of using tools to break it, and they used their hands to do this errand, it took most of the day, tens of thousands of people harvested potatoes together, and they actually harvested most of the day, and the sky was almost dark and it was confiscated.
The people have naturally heard of this kind of fairy beans and fairy rice for a long time, but on weekdays, this place is always guarded by a large army, and they can't rely on it, so it's time to harvest, and they spontaneously come to help.
With the help of the people of the city, the potatoes and corn were finally harvested before dark, and everyone was tired and sweaty, but looking at the countless piles of grain like mountains, everyone showed a heartfelt smile, and even many people simply hugged each other and cried.
The soldiers of the Qi family army also breathed a sigh of relief, and this most aggrieved and glorious task in their lives was finally successfully completed.
said that they were aggrieved because they were all dignified men, and they couldn't go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and they could only compete with wild cats and wild dogs every day. said that it was glorious because although the object of their battle was wild cats and wild dogs, what they guarded was the hope of the Ming Dynasty.
After this day, every household in the capital is celebrating, celebrating the gods falling from the sky, the major restaurants are all full, but the shopkeepers have a rare bright time, all of them are sold at a discount, and even the Qinglou Fengyue place has also held a banquet for several days. It is said that the wine in the capital was drunk in just three days.
That night, Jiajing specially instructed Huang Jin to take out countless good wines from the wine vinegar noodle bureau and reward them to the ministers.
This is not counting, such a great auspicious time is necessary to sacrifice to the heavens to thank the heavens and the earth, and to worship the ancestors to report the good news to the ancestors. This set of things had been prepared for a long time, so although the harvest was hasty, the ceremony was held in a particularly grand manner.
It is estimated that this is the happiest ancestor worship in Emperor Jiajing's life, and he usually comes mostly to ask for sin. Now there is finally good news.
But these have nothing to do with Xiaotian, although he found the potatoes and corn, but whether it is to worship the sky or the ancestors, he is not on the list, nor is he interested, what he is interested in is this person who has been guarding these crops and will become his general in the future, Qi Jiguang.
Since ancient times, famous generals in troubled times, famous in peaceful and prosperous times, Qi Jiguang is an exception, it should be said that among all the well-known generals in ancient times, only this person can be regarded as living in a peaceful and prosperous era, looking through the history books, there seems to be only one Di Qing who can compare with him.
Qi Jiguang knew that this person was his immediate boss in the future, so he naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly took that Xu Qianhu to meet Xiaotian that day.
"This is my deputy, hereditary Qianhu Xu Jie, who is very good at martial arts, and he is still above Qi."
"Humble Xu Jie, meet Master Hou".
Xiao Tian said with a smile: "Xu Qianhu doesn't have to be polite, I was fortunate to see Xu Qianhu that day, I was very shocked, hahaha, sure enough, there are no weak soldiers under the strong general."
Xu Jie said: "Let the adults laugh, it's a pity that he can't kill Tartars with martial arts, he can only shoot some cats and dogs."
Xiaotian laughed and said: "Don't worry, if you follow me, the Tartars won't be able to fight, but I'll let you kill enough of the aliens, if you behave well, I will let you lead an army alone, and in the future, you may not be able to do it."
Xu Jie was overjoyed and said: "Thank you, Master Hou, as long as there is a foreign killing, I dare to take a trip to the sea of fire and fire."
Xiao Tian smiled and didn't reply, historically, Qi Jiguang's deputy has always been his younger brother Qi Jimei, after his death, this invincible army also passed into the hands of Qi Jimei, which is why there is a saying that the Qi family army has been in the hands for generations. At this time, Qi Jiguang was going to go overseas with Xiaotian, and there was no talk of passing on the throne, and it was a pity that the hereditary military attache in the family lost it, so he simply left Qi Jimei on the shore.
In this way, one of the brothers develops on the shore, and the other mixes at sea, no matter who mixes well, it is the glory of their family, and no matter who mixes badly, they also have a backing. (To be continued.) )
