Chapter 18: Shells, Wind Chimes, and Apple Tree Seeds

(0018)

The day of February 12 is fast approaching.

The young people of Fushan Institute did not have the habit of living a life, and the Yang family naturally would not do it, and even Yang Yinghan himself did not realize it.

In the morning, Yang Yinghan still followed her brother Yang Ruifeng and them to collect firewood, and did not come back until after noon. The lunch was made by the little girl Yang Lingxue, or dried vegetable rice, stewed fish pieces, and fresh grilled fish brought back by Zhang Zhun from Red Rock Beach. Because Zhang Zhun was busy with training, the Yang family specially left Yang Lingxue as a girl to cook to ensure that when Zhang Zhun came back, he would have food immediately.

As a result, when Zhang Zhun had lunch, Yang Yinghan had not come back. When Yang Yinghan came back from collecting firewood, Zhang Zhun had already finished eating and went to Red Rock Beach again. When Zhang Zhun came back for dinner, Yang Yinghan and the others went out to fetch firewood again and did not come back. It wasn't until the end of the evening training that all the fish teams were disbanded and came back to rest, and Zhang Zhun saw Yang Yinghan.

"Little girl!"

"Happy life!"

Zhang Zhun said with a smile.

Yang Yinghan was slightly stunned, as if she hadn't reacted yet.

Zhang Zhun said: "Today is your birth!" You can't even remember this, do you? ”

Yang Yinghan really didn't remember, his face turned slightly red when he heard this, and he whispered, "I...... Really forgot. ”

Zhang Zhun said: "I have a gift for you!" Follow me! ”

As he spoke, he walked over to his kennel.

Yang Yinghan was nervous and apprehensive, and there was twelve points of shyness, he hesitated for a while, and finally followed.

Brigadier Zhang delivered the gift to him.

Yang Yinghan's eyes suddenly lit up.

Wind chimes!

Wind chimes made of shells!

Wind chimes made of colored shells!

Brigadier Zhang took the wind chimes outside the house and held them high.

The sea breeze blows, and the shells hit each other, making a crisp and pleasant sound.

Yang Yinghan was so excited that she couldn't control herself for a while, and said happily and shyly: "Yulin ......"

Zhang Zhun said with a smile: "Do you like it?" ”

Yang Yinghan shyly stroked his braids, didn't dare to look at his eyes, and said in a whisper: "I like it." ”

Zhang Zhun said with a smile: "Since you like it, then hang it in the window!" ”

Yang Yinghan hurriedly took the wind chimes.

The thatched house has no windows, and the cracks have replaced the function of the windows, and the holes in the roof are skylights, but the eaves are still there, and Yang Yinghan hung the wind chimes under the eaves.

The sea breeze was blowing, and the shells crashed against each other, making strings of silver bells.

A few children who were playing in the open space looked at this side curiously, their eyes full of envy.

Many children will pick up shells, and after picking them up, they can play with whatever they want, but no one knows how to connect them together to make wind chimes with beautiful appearance and pleasant sound. But even if they knew, they probably weren't in the mood, they couldn't eat enough, so what else could they talk about?

Yang Yinghan said: "Yulin, I will also send you something." ”

Zhang Zhun is full of expectations.

Yang Yinghan shyly took out a small bamboo basket from the house.

The bamboo basket was filled with dark red soil, and a thin sprout emerged from the soil, like a bean seedling or a tree sapling.

It's so small that it's hard to tell.

Zhang Zhun asked curiously, "What is this?" ”

Yang Yinghan said quietly: "Apple tree." ”

It turned out that she cultivated it with an apple seed that she had kept for a long time. It is more difficult for poor military families to eat an apple than meat, and most of this seed is picked. Because of the short time, the shoots have just emerged from the soil. Originally, it was going to wait for it to grow up before giving it to Zhang Zhun. But he sent the wind chimes, and Yang Yinghan took out the sprout.

Zhang Zhun stretched out his hand to take the bamboo basket and looked at the small sapling carefully.

Apple tree?

When will this apple tree bear fruit if it is planted?

Yang Yinghan said with sincerity: "The old people say that planting an apple tree with their own hands can ensure peace and security for a lifetime without disasters. Yulin, you should quickly choose a place and plant the apple tree. ”

Zhang Zhun looked at the small shoots in the bamboo basket, and felt a little disapproving, if this thing can really bless peace, the whole country will be an apple tree. Of course, he wouldn't have said such a bad thing. Anyway, this is also the heart of other people's girls. So, he looked around carefully, and saw that there was a small slope on the west side, which was quite suitable for planting trees, so he said, "Over there? ”

Yang Yinghan said: "Okay. ”

The two came to the dirt slope, and Zhang Zhun started to clean up the surrounding weeds first, and even pulled out all the grass roots. Then dig a hole with a shovel, then remove the soil from the bamboo basket along with the saplings, carefully place it in the hole, and then fill the gap with dirt. Finally, pour a little well water, and the whole process of planting is completed. Of course, it is also necessary to fence the sapling with bamboo chips to prevent someone from trampling the sapling to death without paying attention.

"That's it!"

Everything is ready, Zhang Zhun clapped his hands and said.

Yang Yinghan clasped her palms together, closed her eyes, and didn't know what to say silently to the sapling.

Zhang Zhun also clasped his palms together, his face was full of piety, his eyes were closed, but his mouth was secretly chanting: "The saplings and saplings are growing up soon, and they will hang golden bumps next year, and it is best to hang two branches ......"

Suddenly, a figure came out of the side, and it was a mouse.

The mouse poked his head out and saw the two of them, and found that something was wrong, so he hurriedly retracted it.

Yang Yinghan was ashamed and hurriedly turned around and left.

The mouse's head poked out and retracted again.

Zhang Zhun said to the mouse: "Okay, I see you, come here." ”

The mouse also thought that he had done a lot of bad things, and he broke the good deeds of the two, and hurriedly defended himself: "I really have something." ”

Zhang Zhun said with a smile: "I believe that you are really in trouble." ”

The mouse was really anxious, and said as if vowing: "I really have a situation." ”

Zhang Zhun nodded and said quietly: "Say." ”

The rat walked over, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously, "I heard that someone is preparing to start a riot. ”

Zhang Zhun's eyes lit up slightly, and then returned to normal.

Zhang Zhun was not surprised at all by the news that someone was trying to rebel.

The soldiers of Fushan were so miserable that he didn't believe that no one tried to rise up and resist. The more the spring presses, the stronger it rebounds. The rebel army in Shaanxi has given people all over the world an object to emulate, and uprisings of all sizes in various places have also occurred one after another. Shandong is even more uprising, and only last year there was an uprising in Jinxiang. I believe that the military households of Fushan Institute should be no stranger to words such as uprising, rebellion, riot, and rebellion.

The crux of the matter is that everyone is waiting for someone else to come forward. I don't want to take risks, but I want to eat meat with me. This is the herd mentality of the vast majority of people. Follow Yang Kaide to make trouble, that's no problem. However, if you want to take up weapons and kill all the thousands of households, hundreds of households, general flags, small banners, and even commanders, prefects, prefectures, prefects, governors, garrisons, and general soldiers, some people still don't have the courage to do so.

However, as long as someone makes trouble first and wins a little victory, there will be many people who conform to the crowd, and when the time comes, there will be no problem in raiding the family and destroying the family, killing people and destroying the family. The original civil unrest in Shaanxi also developed in this way. It's like a snowball, as soon as someone rolls the first step, the next thing is to roll bigger and bigger.

At the end of the day, it's a question of who stands up first. The harvest of the early bird is of course the greatest, but the risk is also the greatest. The target of the imperial court's key attack is also this rising bird. In case of failure, he is the first person to be chopped up. Therefore, people who do not have a little courage and strength will not do this kind of bird.

Later studies have shown that Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Zhang Jiao, Zhai Rang, Wang Xianzhi, Liu Futong, Xu Shouhui, Gao Yingxiang, Hong Xiuquan, Boxer Tuan and other early birds did not end well, and it was often those who followed behind to detect leaks to obtain the greatest benefits.

The current Yangjiatun, since Zhang Zhun has shown extraordinary skills, the military households have naturally handed over the important task of the first bird to Zhang Zhun. Zhang Zhun is very clear about his current strength, and this budding bird will not do it for the time being.

"Is the message exact?" Zhang Zhun asked slowly.

"Exactly. I also found out that the host is called Zhan Yingwei. The mouse said mysteriously.

Zhang Zhun nodded and asked slowly, "What's the origin?" ”

The mouse said: "The people of Zhanjiatun. ”

Zhang Zhun nodded quietly.

He believed that the mouse's message was true. This guy will definitely not be able to go to war, and before the enemy arrives in front of him, his legs will be weak, but if he is asked to do something slack, stealing chickens and dogs, and finding out news, etc., he can complete 100% of the tasks to 120%. In a way, this guy is also a rare talent.

Sure enough, the mouse added: "It was revealed by one of Wang Shixin's personal friends after drinking, saying that he didn't look at the great man of Zhanying, and he couldn't jump for a few days." When the time comes, his whole family will lose their heads. ”

There are a total of 25 places in the army led by Fushan. Nine of them are located in Jimo County, with more than 30,000 acres of tuntian, namely Zhaojiatun, Gejiatun, Lijiatun, Maojiatun, Houbeitun, Renjiatun, Hounantun, Zhanjiatun and Fushansuotun. The other 16 are located in Pingdu Prefecture, with 6,000 acres of tuntian. Because Pingdu Prefecture is too far away, and there are many bandits around, the land there is basically deserted.

Judging from the amount of land, it is actually quite a lot, adding up to more than 36,000 mu, and each military household has an average of 30 mu. It's a pity that they were all occupied by the officers at all levels of Aoshanwei and Fushan, as well as officials at all levels in Jimo County, Laizhou Prefecture and even Shandong Buzheng Envoys, all commanding envoys, and prosecuting and prosecuting envoys, and there were officials at all levels who were prepared for military affairs to get a piece of the pie. Ordinary military households, naturally, have no land.

It seems that Yang Kaide's family, when Hongwu, had thirty-three acres of land; By the Zhengde period, it was less than three acres; By the time of Jiajing, the last three acres were not held. As for Zhang Zhun's own family, the land was lost earlier than the Yang family, and it was all gone when he was in Zhengde, and for more than 100 years, he relied on meager money and food, and he really didn't have a full meal for several generations.
