Mao Wenlong was very anxious about the urgency of the war, and Li Yuanqing actually understood Mao Wenlong's mood very well. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Especially at this time, just after returning from the reward in Beijing, Mao Wenlong desperately wanted to make meritorious service again and enjoy this glory again.

In fact, this is also human nature.

In particular, Mao Wenlong has received this kind of loyal and patriotic education since he was a child.

However, Li Yuanqing is even clearer, 'striking iron still needs its own hardness'.

If we want to maintain and maintain the advantages of southern and eastern Liaoning, and develop steadily, it is the foundation of everything.

Otherwise, even if it seems to take the initiative at the military level, it is just a flash in the pan, just like in history.

In order to make Mao Wenlong pay more attention to internal affairs and the lives of the people under his rule, Li Yuanqing also racked his brains.

In the next few days, in addition to sleeping without accompaniment, Li Yuanqing tried his best to accompany Mao Wenlong at every moment.

Inspect the barracks, inspect the land, inspect the mansions of the wealthy families, inspect the houses, inspect the wharves, inspect the fields of Nanxinkou, and also include the newly paved cement roads on Changsheng Island, and gradually began to improve the forts and ordnance construction of the ordnance workshop.

Except for Li Yuanqing's inner house, which is not open to Mao Wenlong, in other places on the island, Li Yuanqing does not have many reservations about Mao Wenlong.

This is not to show off, but to let Mao Wenlong really feel the gap between Changsheng Island and Phi Island now.

After seven or eight days, how could Mao Wenlong not understand Li Yuanqing's hardships?

At the dinner that night, Mao Wenlong personally poured Li Yuanqing a glass of wine: "Yuanqing, whether it is the people's livelihood or the war, now I am not as good as you!" ”

Li Yuanqing hurriedly said: "Marshal, don't say that. Without you, there would be no Yuanqing today! The reason why Yuanqing is like this is that he still wants to emphasize one thing to the marshal, he has food in his hands, and he is not panicked! ”

Mao Wenlong drank the wine in the cup vigorously and laughed: "Yuanqing, don't worry." You work so hard, if I can't understand your hardships, then ~~, I, Mao Wenlong, will be too much of a failure! Tomorrow is the harvest season of sweet potatoes! I also want to see what kind of surprises this baby can bring us! ”

Seeing that Mao Wenlong had already said this, Li Yuanqing could only smile and agree.

…………

On September 27, the fifth year of the Apocalypse, the tide of sweet potato harvest on Changsheng Island finally kicked off.

At this time, the mainland of Changsheng Island, plus Nanxinkou, Yangguanbao, Jinzhou, and Fuzhou, all the land added up was almost a little more than 10,000 acres.

The harvest starts from the mainland of Changsheng Island, first near and far, and all places are guarded by the garrison, who cooperate to help harvest together, and then cut into pieces, dry them, and put them directly into storage.

The whole harvesting process is about five or six days, and until the drying is completed and the storage is completed, the estimated time is about half a month.

During this time, everything on the island, except for the defenders of the fortress station, began to work around the sweet potato harvest.

At the end of September, the sun was still a little poisonous, but with the cold sea breeze, it was not unacceptable.

Everyone is very motivated.

A large part of these people are harvesting their own sweet potatoes, even those young and strong, women and children who helped Li Yuanqing harvest sweet potatoes are also extremely excited.

Because, Li Yuanqing gave them quite generous treatment, not only every meal with fish and meat, dinner, the men can also have two taels of wine to drink, and it is a very pure Liaonan old cellar.

As long as they perform well this year and can enter the household smoothly, next year, they will be able to share a large amount of land and grow such a fat sweet potato.

Li Yuanqing also accompanied Mao Wenlong, Chen Zhong, and the two generals to personally run to the front line of the field to inspect the harvest situation everywhere.

By the third day of October, the harvest statistics of various places were summarized one after another, and Li Yuanqing also got the harvest overview of sweet potatoes in the entire southern Liaoning region.

These more than 10,000 acres of land, all the sweet potatoes combined, are close to four million catties.

Even if it shrinks a lot after drying, at least, it can maintain a scale of more than 200 or even 2.5 million catties.

As soon as they got the numbers, Mao Wenlong, Chen Zhong, and the generals of the two ministries couldn't help but be shocked.

They never thought that this seemingly inconspicuous sweet potato was really this kind of treasure!

Calculated together, the yield of one acre of land is almost about 400 catties, which is far more than ordinary wheat and corn.

The generals were so excited that some of them couldn't find the north!

It was Mao Wenlong, who couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and excitedly held Li Yuanqing's hand and said, "Yuanqing, this sweet potato is really a baby!" If it can be promoted on Phi Dao and Chao ~ Xian line, at the end of next year, the grain and grass of the headquarters really don't need to worry too much! ”

Chen Zhong was also so excited that he didn't know why, he almost danced with his hands: "Yuanqing, there is this kind of treasure, why didn't you take it out earlier!" If we also planted sweet potatoes this year, then next year, we will not be able to hit Shenyang City directly! ”

Li Yuanqing laughed: "Big handsome, big brother, this thing, after all, is an alien species, and I am not too sure, so I can only test it on Changsheng Island for a year." When there are real results, I dare to promote it to you! This thing is really a treasure! As long as there is water and sun, they grow like crazy. Moreover, this baby is not picky. Both good and bad land can be planted. As long as I take care of it properly, next year, I don't have to worry too much about the grain and grass in southern Liaoning and Liaoning! ”

How could Mao Wenlong and Chen Zhong not understand what Li Yuanqing meant, and they couldn't help laughing.

Mao Wenlong said with a smile: "Yuanqing, don't worry, after the sweet potato harvest here is completed, I will send someone to purchase sweet potato seeds from Changsheng Island at the market price." Let's do the math as we please. You can't help me secretly anymore! ”

Chen Zhong also smiled: "Not bad. Yuanqing, this good thing, let's plant it together. Fair trade, otherwise, you won't treat your brother as a brother! ”

Li Yuanqing laughed: "That's fine." Brothers, settle accounts. Let's go according to the market price. However, Dashuai, with the experience of planting sweet potatoes this year, I also have a lot of experience. In this regard, I must first explain it to you. ”

"Yuanqing, you say." Mao Wenlong nodded with a smile.

Li Yuanqing smiled: "Big handsome, big brother, although sweet potatoes are good, they are not omnipotent." The biggest advantage of this baby is that it doesn't pick the ground. Good land can be planted, and bad land can also be planted. So, next year, I'm going to plant wheat and corn in good fields, and sweet potatoes in bad fields and in poor fields. This time, they complement each other, and even if there are any changes, we can all have a solution. ”

Mao Wenlong and Chen Zhong also understood what Li Yuanqing meant.

"Yes, Yuanqing, how long is your brain! I'm a little jealous of you now! Chen Zhong couldn't help laughing.

Mao Wenlong also laughed: "In this way, it is the best, our southern Liaoning and eastern Liaoning, we still use wheat and corn as the mainstay, supplemented by sweet potatoes, and with the experience of harvesting on Changsheng Island, whether it is planting, harvesting, or storage, we also have experience." Next year, we're going to have a big fight! ”

…………

The harvest of sweet potatoes instantly caused a storm of joy on Changsheng Island.

And this storm also began to spread rapidly to southern Liaoning and eastern Liaoning.

The people of Phi Island also quickly got the news that the sweet potatoes on Changsheng Island had a bumper harvest, and they also had hope in their hearts.

They don't have to go hungry anymore!

At the same time, Changsheng Island also held a grand celebration ceremony, and Li Yuanqing was promoted to the right governor, and the island held a ten-day flowing water banquet, which was set up in the fields, and the firefighters of the Changsheng camp went into battle in person.

Once the laborers have finished their work, they are greeted by a sumptuous flowing water feast.

For a time, the entire Changsheng Island, including the entire southern Liaoning region, as long as there were places where the Han people lived, there was jubilation everywhere.

Li Yuanqing's spirit is also extremely inspiring, which also makes his wives and concubines, these days, everyone's faces are full of joy and delicate smiles.

On the tenth day of October, Mao Wenlong and Chen Zhong left Guanglu Island one after another.

After all, both of them are the masters of the army, and there is a sweet potato matter pressing, and the two also want to quickly return to the autonomous areas and plot the planting and laying of sweet potatoes.

Of course, Li Yuanqing didn't let them go back empty-handed, 10,000 catties of fresh sweet potatoes per person, which was used as a gift for the year before.

On Changsheng Island, as the sweet potatoes were sliced, cut into dried sweet potatoes, and placed in the fields to dry, the harvesting of sweet potatoes was also nearing the end.

However, in order to prevent rain that may come at any time, there are special and full-time guards in each field, and the garrisons of the Changsheng Battalion are responsible for pulling the net to guard and respond to various changes at any time.

In the evening, after holding a meeting with the political affairs bureau and the officers of various departments, Li Yuanqing finally had time and returned to the mansion to rest and rest.

Winter is about to begin, the weather is starting to cool down a bit, and although there is no need to light a brazier in the house, it is not far off.

In the inner study, he lay comfortably on the kang with a few beds of wool felt, and let Lotus Root, Xiaolian and Xiaohe help him knead his body.

Smelling the fragrance on their bodies, Li Yuanqing's body and mind gradually began to relax.

Although the general trend is slightly erosive, in some places, especially in southern Liaoning, the situation is very good.

Li Yuanqing also has every reason to believe that as long as this momentum is maintained and more people are absorbed, in the future, even if it is the power of southern Liaoning, it is by no means impossible to fight against the entire Houjin, or even, against the entire Ming Dynasty!

Thinking about it, Li Yuanqing's mood couldn't help but become clearer, and his big hands began to be dishonest, and after a while, he made three charming little women around him, coquettish and angry.

At this time, Qu Minqiu pushed the door with a smile and walked in, and when he saw this appearance, his pretty face couldn't help but turn red, "I thought you were very hardworking and wanted to come over and bring you a bowl of lotus seed soup to drink?" It seems that this is not necessary. ”

Lotus Root, Xiaolian, and Xiaohe suddenly blushed, they were Lotus Root, but they didn't dare to take Qu Minqiu's words easily.

There is a difference between master and servant.

In this era, it has long been ingrained.

Even if Lotus Root was Qu Minqiu's personal girl before, but when the main owner came, she would never dare to resist easily.

Seeing that Qu Minqiu was leaving, Li Yuanqing smiled, hurriedly got up, grabbed her, and took her in his arms: "What are you running?" I don't know if you're tired these days? Coincidentally, Minqiu, you also came to help me rub it, it hurts all over. ”

Qu Minqiu couldn't help but glance at Li Yuanqing, "Virtue." ”

But Li Yuanqing was the head of the family after all, he spoke, and Qu Minqiu didn't dare to refute it easily, so he had to come to the kang and help Li Yuanqing knead his body.

But unexpectedly, Li Yuanqing had already been made angry by a few little goblins such as Lotus Root, Xiaolian, and Xiaohe.

Qu Minqiu hadn't helped Li Yuanqing rub it for a while, and Li Yuanqing had already untied her long skirt.

Qu Minqiu was ashamed and angry, and couldn't help but sneer: "Yuanqing, you're crazy." Yun Niang and her sisters are still waiting for us to eat inside! ”

Li Yuanqing smiled: "What's the hurry?" Let them wait for us for a while. Lotus, Xiaolian, Xiaohe, come, help me hold her. ”

"Huh?"

Qu Minqiu couldn't help but be shocked, and the daughters of Lotus were also panicked.

But at this time, Li Yuanqing had already skillfully turned over and pressed on Qu Minqiu, "What are you doing in a daze?" Why don't you come and help? Do you want to try my Li family's family law? ”

"Huh?"

Several women were a little stunned, but their small hands instinctively restrained Qu Minqiu's hands and feet......
