Chapter 388 Cultivating land and building water conservancy
"The thing about the war horse is that it can't be stopped, the cavalry army and the cavalry battalions of various armies must quickly form combat effectiveness, in the plain area, the army without the cover of cavalry cannot quickly move to fight, you have to focus on this part, no matter how hard it is, you must continue to support it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Li Jing immediately rejected this request, but he was a little interested in Liang Sijiu's method of clearing the field land for the field army, at the beginning, this part of the troops was on the front line of confrontation with the imperial court, so it has been in a state of armed alert, but now the imperial court does not seem to have the intention of using force against Datong and Shanxi, so this part of the army can just catch up with the sweet potato planting season.
"The whole army must quickly transfer to the wasteland on the spot, but it must not leave down training and armaments, and it is necessary to use the free time between exercises to open up as much wasteland as possible, to cultivate more land, to reserve more grain, the army must feed pigs, to feed livestock, to do it yourself, to have enough food and clothing, do not open your mouth and wait for the allocation of money and grain, you know?"
Learning from the experience of his previous life, Li Jing gave orders loudly, but there were always some military towns in various armies who were a little resistant to this, but when they were summoned, they didn't dare to say it, and they didn't dare to refute it, but in private, they would definitely complain, why not?
A good field unit was actually sent to feed pigs, isn't this burying people?
"The supervisors and instructors of the various armies must go deep into the front line of the soldiers to publicize our policies, and they must spread it to everyone, and let them know that this is good for the country and the whole, if we wait for a day, our money and food will not be able to support it, then the lonely king can only endure the pain of one or two of the armies that have not done a good job in the desert warfare, everyone, no one wants to be this dismissed general."
Li Jing, who had been prepared for this for a long time, is now able to deal with this kind of resistance in the army, and he is at ease, what kind of joke is it, the army is against it, then he will not do it, then what do he have to do as the king of Qin.
"The last general will do his best. Never cause trouble to King Qin! ”
Now, no one dares to resist, just kidding, if you really procrastinate to carry it out. When the big knife is cut down and the establishment is gone, then the entire battalion and the entire brigade will drink the northwest wind?!
……
"Build an army of 300,000 and open up millions of acres."
"Do it yourself. Clothed! ”
"Don't wait, don't rely on, labor is glorious!"
Similar to the scene of a certain founding era in later generations, it seems that it swept the Shanshan land under the rule of King Qin in an instant, and all the field troops and Tuntian troops on standby on the second line carried similar banners and sang loud war songs, and the whole battalion and even the entire brigade began to march into the barren mountains and mountains, and began to open up the wasteland.
Countless trees have been cut down and countless wild animals have been hunted. Countless lands have been reclaimed, and the entire northwest is in a state of high development, whether it is a country road or an inaccessible mountain forest, as long as there is open land, as long as it is close to the water source, then there are soldiers of the Qin army and local people working.
The construction of the Guanzhong canal irrigation is already the most important task in the second half of this year in the whole of Shaanxi, and it is regarded as the most important task. From Hu Chunlai, the governor of Shaanxi, to Zhang Erma, the commander of the Yamen of the Shaanxi Prefecture and the governor of the Tuntian Army, all prefectures, and Tuntian towns in various places. Brigades and battalions were all mobilized, but wherever there was a place where water could be stored, all reservoirs and channels began to be built.
"It's a pleasure. Joyfully! If we continue to do this way, the entire Guanzhong Plain will be another big granary, and if we continue to sow seeds in the early spring of next year, and when the harvest arrives, there will be no more local bandits in Shaanxi. ”
Hu Chunlai, the governor of Shaanxi, personally took the 800 men and horses of the governor's standard camp to start working in the field in the channel east of Xi'an Prefecture, which was a day of personal demonstration on the 10th day of January.
"Lord Futai, you can also rest and rest, your old body and bones are different from ours, just deal with these things."
Xie Yungui, the prefect of Xi'an Prefecture, was wearing a sweatshirt, like an old farmer who went to the field, carrying a hoe and digging the ditch hard, but after all, his body was delicate, and he didn't do it for long, his hands were blistered, and the pain was terrible, but when he saw that the governor was still working, he could only grit his teeth and follow.
Hu Chunlai's family was poor in his early years, and it was common to go to the ground, although he is now nearly fifty years old, his body is tougher than ordinary people, and he has a pursuit in his heart, and he is also full of motivation.
"How can there be such a reason, what others do, but I can't do it? I went to Taiyuan to meet His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and I also personally saw the King of Qin farming in the land, without any pretentiousness. Hugh has to continue to say more, you can't do it, change someone else, today you have to dig this twenty-mile ditch and smoothly divert water into the farmland for irrigation. ”
As he spoke, he did not stop at all, still digging hard, and from time to time someone carried a basket and pushed a cart up, and transported the excavated soil to the nearby dry land where there was a lack of fertile land, so that without reducing the area of the farmland, and digging out the irrigation ditch, it was really a few in one fell swoop.
"Xiaguan Meng Lang, Xiaguan will continue to dig."
Xie Yungui was stupid, he thought that Shangfeng was just doing it for a while, he didn't want to really do the work of the old farmer now, what could he do, follow it, no matter how hard and tired he was, he had to grit his teeth and persevere, he didn't see around this ditch, but below the governor, six belonged to the Daotai, the two prefects and how many officials in the province were working with him, he was a prefect, where did he dare to stop and rest, isn't this incompatible with the future?
This ditch that is more than 20 miles long, now with the joint efforts of a whole battalion of the Qin army and the governor standard camp and the farmers in the nearby farmland, has begun to gradually take shape.
"Huh, huh, this thing is much better than a hoe, His Royal Highness King Qin is really smart."
Ma Laosi, a soldier of the Xi'an battalion of the Tuntian Army in Shaanxi, took the shovel at hand, struggled to scoop up a ball of soil, threw it into the cart on his side, and then said with emotion to the soldiers around him,
"Can it not? Fourth, you have to work hard, the camp is right, if you work in the morning today, there will be meat for dinner at night, I think I will sneak some back to my mother-in-law to taste the taste of meat, you kid is not lazy, hurry up. ”
Ma Laosan, who was also a brother beside him, laughed and laughed, and did not forget to move out a stone stuck in the mud in his hand.
His words immediately attracted the laughter of his fellow villagers, and they all thought about making fun of them.
"The third child, your daughter-in-law is going to go home and you are not collapsing, and you still bring meat, you have that thought, it is better to save some money for your brother, he is in his thirties, and he didn't say anything about his daughter-in-law, this is your fault."
The situation of the Ma family, who doesn't know, the eldest was born sick, and he was gone when he was young, the second child, but he fed, but it was a pity that the rogue was raging, this person said that it was gone, and the second elder of the Ma family worked hard all his life, and he took the two taels of silver he saved, and told the third daughter-in-law, and he had to take care of it, so he didn't scream, and now there are two babies.
But when it's the turn of the fourth, it will be troublesome, where does the Ma family have any money left over to give him a daughter-in-law, the third marriage still has to lose the Ma family's daughter to marry, and barely get some money, so I said it.
"Go and go~ Don't you want to talk about my brother, my brother and sister-in-law are good to me, you bastards, always make fun of me!"
Ma Laosi was born to be honest, and he can't listen to others say bad things about his family outside, even if it is such a joke, it can provoke him to respond officially, but his words attract even more laughter.
"Haha~ Now I don't need to save silver, the fourth child of my family, but among the people, our two brothers add a piece of silver a month, and there is a tael of silver, and you can also take some land to plant, this life is good."
But isn't it, although the Tuntian army is not as good as the regular army, but there is also a military salary, and there is an extra field, this day is really hopeful, Ma Laosan because he followed the Liukou in his early years, some eyes and knowledge, after this time the army, he also divided a Tuntian army, the military salary is higher than Ma Laosi, and the two brothers together are also one or two or two, this is money that has never been seen in a lifetime!
"Your family is fine, sitting at home and eating food in the future, there is no hard work, but my baby, poor went early, such a good situation, he has no life to enjoy."
Xie Chuba, who belonged to the same team as the Tuntian Army, looked at all this, and suddenly his eyes were red, he is also thirty-five or sixteen years old this year, although he is still young and strong, but in the early years, his wife and children in the family were slaughtered by the officials and soldiers because he went out to participate in the Liukou, and the whole family was shattered, and now he has joined the Qin Army, life is better, but his family is gone.
"Brother Chu, people, you have to look forward, in the past, under the rule of the court of the gou, we didn't even live as pigs and dogs, thanks to the Qin King Chitose of Shengming, we have such a good life, don't be sad, after all, the body and bones are still there, do a lot of work to reimburse the King of Qin, and the salary and silver sent down, save it, and then talk about the daughter-in-law, it's not enough for our brothers to make it up for you, your Xie family is just you, if you break the incense, how can you go down to see your father and ancestors,"
Ma Laosan looked at Xie Chuba, who was crying, and suddenly said with emotion,
"Tell me, His Royal Highness King Qin is such a holy king, why can't he be our emperor, Ming Gouzi has always treated us as livestock, and we can still be so powerful, we should let His Royal Highness King Qin be the emperor, and we will have a good life in the future!" (To be continued.) )
