A few days later, Fan Jia also came, with a large number of gifts, and 16 four-wheeled carriages, and Jiang Hexing couldn't refuse. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info thought to himself, if he was showing martial arts, it is estimated that he would dare to bring a fleet to give gifts. One is to give gifts, which also means for everyone to see.

Fan Jia took a large group of his subordinates to feast on guests and friends in Jiang Hexing's mansion, Jiang Hexing looked at this father-in-law and thought to himself that he should find something to do.

After the banquet, Jiang Hexing called Fan Jia to the room, and Jiang Hexing poured him tea. looked at him and said, "Father-in-law, I have a big business to introduce to you, are you willing to do it?" ”

Fan Jia said: "He Wang, what is the business introduction?" ”

Jiang Hexing pointed to the tea and said, "This is big business." ”

Fan Jia frowned and said: "I know this tea, it is produced in Shudi, but the output is very limited, even if it is produced too much, it is useless, and it is inconvenient to come out of Shudi." Walking to Chang'an is like a sheep intestine road, and there are not many things to transport. ”

Jiang Hexing smiled and said: "Father-in-law, you are a smart life, and you are confused for a while." Can it be produced in Shudi, but not in other places, and besides, don't you have a fleet? If you find some mountains along the Yangtze River to plant these trees, won't you be able to make your own tea in a few years? ”

Fan Jia patted his head and said: "It makes sense, it makes sense, I will send someone to Shudi, along the Yangtze River, I think the best near Jiujiang, there is a big wharf, water transportation is convenient, I will find a mountain near Jiujiang and plant tea." But this doesn't seem to be working fast enough, so what other faster way do you have to make money? ”

Jiang Hexing is really crying and laughing, do you still have few ways to make money?

Jiang Hexing thought for a while and said, "Have you been to Panyu?" ”

Fan Jia shook his head and said, "It's too far away from Chang'an, I heard that there are many people in the south doing business there." ”

Jiang Hexing said: "Father-in-law, it's a pity that you have such a large fleet, in my opinion, it's a bit of a waste, if you send some people to Jiujiang and send some people to Panyu, this will be used." ”

Fan Jia immediately stood up and said, "I'll send someone immediately, no, I'm going to Jiujiang and Panyu by myself." ”

Fan Jia packed up and hurried back to Anwu with his brigade, anxious to arrange things to go to Jiujiang and Panyu.

Jiang Hexing ordered someone to invite Zhang Jie, and Zhang Jie came to Pingzhou Mansion two days later. Jiang Hexing asked him how the training was going, and Zhang Jiele replied hesitantly: "He Wang, do you know how many militias have been organized among the refugees this year?" ”

Jiang Hexing said: "I only asked about Xiaowen's immigration and farming, and I didn't ask about the militia among these people." ”

Zhang Jie stretched out two fingers and gestured: "More than 20,000." ”

Jiang Hexing was a little surprised: "So much, it won't affect their wasteland, right?" ”

Zhang Jie said: "No, I just organized the militia and let them train during the slack season, and now many wastelands are also very unpeaceful, wolves, tigers, a lot, often hurt people." Organize these people and go hunting in the surrounding area. One is for the training of the troops, and the other is for their own peace. It can be described as killing two birds with one stone, and I also worked with the people of the immigration department to distribute some war horses and distribute them together with saddle stirrups, so that I will have a basis for riding and shooting when I enlist in the army in the future. ”

Jiang Hexing nodded and said: "Yes, yes, it can be described as killing two birds with one stone, raising soldiers for the people, training soldiers for hunting, a good way." I came to you for the same thing. ”

"What's the matter?"

Jiang Hexing said slowly: "I want to concentrate most of our troops in the near future and conduct large-scale training in the next few months, what do you think?" ”

Zhang Jie asked: "How to practice the law in the big military training?" ”

Jiang Hexing said: "We transported refugees last year, which is equivalent to the training of the sailors, but since Lianghu City, we have not experienced a major battle, I am worried that the army will be relaxed, so I want to concentrate the troops in Pingzhou every summer, how about a big training?" It is necessary to let the army not slack off, and let the generals at all levels have the heart to win. ”

Zhang Jie nodded and said: "If you don't fight for a long time, generals at all levels should enjoy it, and soldiers don't have the heart to fight." That's a good suggestion, I'll go back and prepare, where do you see the drills are better? ”

"From Lianghu City to the south, there are grasslands, as far as the eye can see, and there are no fields, so the whole army will find a place to exercise. The exercise was required to check the training situation of the troops in the previous period, and also to practice the coordination between the various branches of the troops. You organize manpower now, and in the future exercise site, imitate the Han land city repair method, and build a city, the kind that must have a moat. Finally, we're going to rehearse the siege. In the same situation, see which army is the first to break through the city, and reward it when the time comes. ”

Zhang Jie looked at Jiang Hexing, then pointed in the direction of Chang'an and said, "Is He Wang Ke interested?" We've been waiting for a long time. ”

Jiang Hexing said: "You, you think too much, fighting is not a good thing." But we also have to be prepared, and we must at least have the ability to do so, and only then can we be truly safe. ”

Zhang Jie said: "I understand, I must prepare well when I go back." ”

Jiang Hexing invited Zhang Jie to his home, and after drinking, he explained again before letting him go back.

The weather is really warming up, and spring ploughing has begun. The new Pengjia Village is on a high hill, and there are more than 30 houses in the birch forest, most of which are wooden houses, and some of them are still the kind of tents in Mahan. There are also a few newly built houses with white walls and red tiles, hidden among the greenery. The fenced yards are large, and a thick chimney next to them is idyllic. The house is built by a special building team to build a house, and they are all unified brick houses, although they are not very high, but the walls are very thick, and it seems that there should be some security in winter.

The sun is about to set, the setting sun shines on this fenced yard, a straight path in the middle of the yard, on both sides of the path are some lush green vegetables and the like, but they have just grown, not very big, but the leaves have been green and black, shiny and shiny, it looks like this land is really good. At the end of the road is a newly built five-room building with red tiles and white walls, and a kitchen on the east side of the courtyard.

Peng Daniu drove the horse with his left hand, and held the plow with his right hand, afraid that the plow would reach the ground, and his right hand kept pressing the plow handle. Back in the yard, unloaded the horse, put the plow away, put the rope and shuttle in a pile, and looked back, the eldest son Peng Zhongyu also drove the horse into the yard.

At this moment, the voice of Peng Bohai, who only heard it, came from the east road. Peng Daniu came to the gate of the courtyard and looked east, only to see Peng Bohai riding a white horse and rushing to this side.

When he arrived at the gate of the yard, Peng Bohai jumped off his horse, patted the floating soil on his body, and tied the horse to the birch tree next to the road. At this time, Peng Daniu's wife and two daughters also arrived at the gate of the yard, some carrying hares, some carrying fish, the rabbits were big and fat, one black and the other gray, all looked alive. The fish is not small, it is passed through the gills by tender green wicker, and it weighs seven or eight pounds.

Peng Bohai said: "Big brother, do you go to open up the wasteland every day, or go hunting, now I know why you prepare so much salt, it turns out that you stay here to marinate meat." ”

Peng Daniu laughed and said: "There are so many hares here, and there are fish in the water, basically you don't have to work hard, just go and get it." I really couldn't finish it, so I had to eat it pickled. ”

Peng Daniu said and looked at his wife and said, "Hey, you wait to clean up the rabbit and fish, and I'll have some wine with Bohai later." ”

Peng Bohai looked at his sister-in-law with a smile on his face and said, "Sister-in-law has worked hard, but I love to eat the dishes you make, and the taste is good." ”

Peng Daniu's daughter-in-law brushed her hair with her left hand, raised the rabbit in her hand with her right hand, and said with a smile: "Bohai, what kind words do the family have." You just have a sweet mouth, unlike your eldest brother, who can't say a few good words a day. This rabbit will be stewed and served to you later. ”

Everyone talked and laughed and entered the courtyard.

Peng Daniu and Peng Bohai entered the hall, the hall was empty, there were no tables and chairs, two tree trunks were placed on the ground of the blue bricks as chairs, and the two brothers sat down opposite each other.

Peng Bohai first asked: "Big brother, you usually don't come back before dark, why did you come back so early today?" ”

Peng Daniu said with a smile: "There have been a lot of wasteland, I see that people have cultivated the land to grow rice, and I also want to plant it as soon as possible, and then I will be busy with the wasteland after planting." So, this afternoon, after finishing the last two acres of land left in the West, let them hunt rabbits and catch fish. ”

"Big brother, how much wasteland have you opened for so long?"

Peng Da Niu thought for a while and said: "I have walked over, there should be more than 100 acres, people here are all using horses, if you use cattle, I think 30 acres is good, or I and Zhongyu have a horse, and two people can plow the land to drive much." How many of them have you hired someone to open up the wasteland? ”

Peng Bohai said: "I have 200 acres there, and I will pay them according to the mu." Based on the salary of 200 acres, I think it should be too much worse. ”

Peng Daniu frowned and said, "How can you pay so much salary?" ”

Peng Bohai sighed and said: "Big brother, I came here for two days, that is, the time when Zhong Yu led the militia to fight the wolf, I took the wolf skin to the county to buy it, and the money I earned was just enough to build a house?" I saw that collecting wolf skins and mink was still a good business, so I started doing it. The money I earn this month is enough to open 500 acres of wasteland. It's just that now that spring ploughing is over, those people have gone back to farming. You look at the brains of those who open up wasteland, but they don't open up the wasteland themselves, and they can't plant it themselves if they open up too much, and in the end it's still wasteland, and they can make a lot of money by helping others open up wasteland. It's time for you to change your mind, don't do everything yourself, you won't be at ease if others do it. In the West, you have seen the land I have cleared, and they are not bad, right? ”

Peng Daniu sighed and said: "They have all the guys in their hands, and the horses are fat and strong, and it is like walking on the flat land to open up the wasteland." Tsushima, the plows, the terrain, and the silt and so on are all familiar with the work, and the work is fine. The key is that they know how to drain water better than us, and the main thing about clearing land here is drainage. I used to worry about them, but now I see that they are doing better than my old crop. ”

Peng Bohai said: "I inquired when I was in the county seat, there are several groups of people here who are responsible for clearing wasteland, and there is a person named Black Stone who leads the team to open up wasteland, so I will find him." Do you know? He also eats by virtue of his reputation for opening up wasteland, and if he opens well, someone invites him, but if he doesn't open well, who else will invite him. As for the speed of driving, it doesn't matter, anyway, the wages are paid according to the number of acres. ”

Peng Daniu said: "There are people who specialize in clearing the wasteland, but there are not so many people in farming, and they are now running home to plant their own heaven." Your two hundred acres of land, I see you, you can't finish planting. ”

Peng Bohai said: "Big brother, how about we go back to Dongjun then?" "I've heard that it won't take a few days for Xianwu's ship to reach Dongjun."

"What do you do when you go back, there is no land at home, two broken grass houses, what do you care about him? When I go home, I can't eat a single salt, let alone eat rice and noodles like here, and I can't eat all the meat. ”

"Big brother, you misunderstood what I meant. I want to bring people here, I want to organize a hunting team by myself, to go to the mountains near here, to find some big guys to fight, I heard that in the big forest in the west, but there are tigers, if you can hunt a few, won't we be developed? ”

Peng Daniu pondered for a long time and said: "This is too dangerous, you still specialize in selling, and I am relieved." Hunting and hunters have been trained since childhood, and they are very familiar with the terrain and these tigers, black bears, and wolves. If you pull people, I think we still have a lot of relatives in Dongjun, and they don't dare to think about the life we live now. If you want to call all the cousins, I think it's good to be in this kind of place. I heard that we are also called Hakuba County here, and we are all from Hakuba, right? ”

Peng Bohai nodded and said: "Yes, the name I just gave a few days ago is New White Horse County, which is different from the White Horse in East County. Almost all of them come from Dongjun Baima, and if there are our families everywhere, they can settle down as soon as they come. ”

Peng Daniu said: "That's good, after we are busy with spring ploughing, you can go back, and pay attention to safety on the road." ”

Peng Bohai nodded, and at this time the wine and food were ready. In this house, a large pot of rabbit meat was placed on the ground, and the family sat on the ground and on the wood, talking and laughing, and began to eat dinner.
