138. Taiping Road

The generals in the army went down the mountain and left, and more than ten old men such as Changde also looked for a mountain road to return home.

The road they traveled was not to go all the way to Luoyang with Deng Ji and others, and their residence was in the mountains.

Today, the rainstorm does not stop, if it is sunny in normal times, there are clusters of sheep everywhere in the middle of the mountain here, which are left after being distributed to the people, and Changde's job is to manage these old men who graze livestock.

Continue to walk along the mountainside for seven or eight miles, there is a col behind the dense forest, the area is quite large, it is still very flat, there are dozens of houses built in the middle, this is the residence of the old men.

In addition to the houses where the old men lived, there were also four or five stables on both sides of the periphery, nearly a thousand sheep were enclosed in several rows of sheep houses, and there were still more than 300 adult male horses and small foals in the stables.

The horses are divided with the people for animal power, and the war horses are divided into the brave soldiers and the auxiliary soldiers, and the remaining dozens of male horses are carefully selected to stay as stallions, all of them are very tall and strong, and the season two months ago is in their love, and Lao Guo took them down the mountain with many mares, and when they first brought back to the mountain, they were all exhausted and sickly, which made Changde feel distressed, and it took a long time to gradually recover.

If it weren't for Deng Pimple said, all the mares that have been bred by the stallion in the mountains will have to return to the mountains for the first foal, and then the only ones that can be produced can be returned to the mare's owner's own house.

The three hundred xiao foals were born when they were in the country of Shihou before, and the parents were good horses, except for Chiji, they did not know the good ones, so they were left to take care of them, and they were screened before deciding how to use them.

If it weren't for the heavy rain, these big horses would have to be led out for a walk outside by the old man's slightly younger Lao Guo, but now they can only stay in the stable and chew the grain and grass, while snorting dissatisfiedly.

In addition to the more than ten people in Changde slaughtered three animals to accompany Deng Ji and others to worship the martyrs, there are still seventy or eighty old men left here to guard, Deng Ji set the policy of dividing the people into four classes, these nearly 100 old people are all lonely, but they think that they can still move, do not need to be supported by others, and are willing to settle here for the servants.

There are 100 acres of fields under the house, all of which he put out at the beginning of the year, and there is an errand for grazing livestock, and Deng Ji will not let them starve, these fields are just based on the interest of the old men, who can live idle after working all his life? But a little free, always have to find something to do, now the millet in the field has been knee-deep, began to hang ears, on the east side of the stream ditch there are several vegetable fields, among which the crops are also green and oily, now rì heavy rain, the stream has been full of xiaogou, roaring all the way down.

The group crossed the path of Tanaka and entered the house. The old men dispersed themselves, and Changde first looked around, and there was a fixed number in each sheep house, and they looked at it one by one, and the circle was all safe and sound, and the livestock were not lost, so he was relieved, and called people to add food to a few stables, and then went to the big house on the west side, and took off his coat before going to the mén, so as not to bring rain into it.

Unless he is sick, it is something he must do to inspect around, everyone has done very well, but Changde is inevitably worried, and other old men know that Changde is very strict, if he picks out any mao disease, no matter how good the relationship is, he will not be scolded by the finger nose.

In the house on the west side, there is basically nothing else except for the dense large clay pots, but when Changde entered, there were still more than ten old men cleaning jī eggs and filling the clay pots.

Chang De stepped in and asked, "Isn't it over yet?" ”

The busy old men raised their heads, and when they saw that it was him, someone replied: "But it's almost over, the old people are still in the jī house, and if they pick up another egg, it's over today!" ”

Deng Ji's method of raising and feeding has been a great success, and there were as many as six or seven thousand soil jī raised in the Marquis State, but unfortunately most of them were sent to the people when they went south to Luoyang, leaving only two thousand female jī, and more than four hundred male jī in, after arriving in Luoyang, Changde and others immediately recreated dozens of pits, and selected jīzi to let the mother jī hold the nest, and got more than 20,000 xiaojī, and after half a year, the first batch of xiaojī also began to lay eggs, and the old men had another job: each rì pickled many salted eggs for the military, The two armies of Dangkou and Huya will send sergeants to carry them here once every four or five years.

"I have to talk to the pimple, and the idea is to nong some coarse salt, and the clay pot is also poor, and it will not be enough for now!" The time for more than 10,000 Xiao mothers to lay eggs on a large scale is approaching, and now they are still incubating eggs, Chang De has a big heart, and he is ready to feed 30,000 or 40,000 mothers. ”

More than 10 large houses in the backyard with a length of more than 20 zhang, all of them are jī houses, out of the mén and put on the clothes again, Changde looked for the past, there are many jī cages in Dafang, but it doesn't smell good, fortunately there are no walls on both sides, and the convective wind has blown away some of the smell; The ground was also cleaned, and a thin layer of quicklime was sprinkled, which was the credit of the elderly, etc., just because Deng Pimple said that in this way, Jīqun was not easy to get the plague.

The food in the jī trough is mixed with chaff, and the lower layer is also paved with a layer of stone sand, which is also taught by Deng Pimple, it is said that these jī have to swallow some stones every rì, otherwise they will not be able to eat. 1uan before the world, Changde and other old men have always raised jī in their homes, but they have not been kept in captivity, and they really don't know that they need to eat stones, and when they first heard this, it only made people feel strange, but Deng Pimple said that he was sure, and he still believed it.

The old man led seven or eight people to be busy in the fourth jī house, two of them picked the eggs, and the rest were responsible for sweeping the jī dung on the ground.

There is a river and Luo on the side, do you still need to raise fish at home? Changde was a little puzzled, but he knew that there were few fish in the river near the city, and the pimple was because he was too lazy to send a sergeant to fish in the distance?

Changde couldn't figure it out, but since all the 100 acres of land had to be dug up for fish farming, these pits were far from enough at present, and after the rain stopped, he had to shout at the old men to come out and prepare for dozens of mouthfuls.

Seeing that the elderly were so busy, Changde took a hand, and when he was done with his work, the last stop was to see those pits.

But this kind of inconspicuous xiao worm, if it weren't for the pimple, then xiao Zi could think of it, who knew that it would be so useful? Raising jī with insects is really a million profits, just by virtue of this, Changde admires and likes the pimple very much, don't look at the old man's temper when he comes up, he will ignore his identity whether he is a Qu Shuai or a county order, and still shout and scold, but deep down there is nothing to say, the pimple has many strange practices, and the old man is secretly a strong supporter.

Dozens of pits are neatly arranged, the xiao insects inside are usually tight, but it is not easy to shìnong, eating is simple, dung, rotten leaves, grass roots can be, but they like chao soil, you have to remember to sprinkle water into the pit on a sunny day, too chao wet will not be, like this thunderstorm will have a lot of heart, if there is water in the pit, but the line will flee one after another, and those who can't escape will be drowned.

The old people are sleeping lightly, when it just rained last night, a cadre of people will find a wooden board to cover all the pits, I am afraid that the old people will forget to cover it again when they take jī food, Changde walked along the edge of the pit, there is no existing pit mouth 1ù outside, then turned around and left.

To take care of these many livestock and poultry, the old man's work is not easy, until it is almost dusk, it is gradually finished, the food has been prepared, gathered together to use lively, then wash the hands and feet again, and enter the middle hall in a proper manner.

In this hall, there is a tall desk with three rows.

On the front side of the middle, there are several handwritings on the book "Taiping Dao Great Sage and Good Teacher Tiangong General Zhang Zhijiao Divine Position", and the last two pieces are naturally the general of the earth and the general of the people.

In the first few dishes of the tablet, there are salted eggs, fruits, corn and other offerings, and on the wall behind the desk, there are eight big characters: "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand!" ”

Changde and this nearly 100-year-old man do not want to be supported by others, and are willing to hide here, for the sake of these three-sided tablets, as time goes by, others may not remember the identity of the moth thief, but he will not forget that he is a disciple of Taiping Dao.

When he moved south from the Shehou Kingdom, Changde looked for Deng Ji and wanted to relocate the altar of the great virtuous and good teacher.

In the face of this stubborn old man, Deng Ji couldn't either, but he waited for him to go south to recruit An to join the imperial court, how could this Taiping Dao dare to show it in a grand manner?

Both were unwilling to retreat, and in the end they had to take a compromise method, and the altar and tablet could not be worshiped in front of people.

For this reason, Changde and others were reluctant to go to Luoyang City to live, and only found a mountain col at the foot of the Sankun Mountains, and lived in seclusion.

Of course, this place is not really isolated from the world, but outsiders are not allowed to come, Tian Feng, Tian Chou, Tai Shici and others are also all aware of these existences here, and they do not interfere with each other. In addition to the sergeants who came to carry salted eggs, NV doctors and craftsmen would also come here from time to time to worship, and after several years of training, they have become the backbone of the Taiping Road under Deng Ji's rule, and they will silently recite "Great Sage and Good Master Blessing" several times when treating people; In addition, if the old yellow scarves such as Deng Zhong, Che Xiao, Lazy Gu, and Tian Mazi have leisure, they will also come here to worship.

Up to now, the Taiping Road and the Yellow Turban were killed by the heroes with all their might, but it is also possible to coexist in some places, and it is not as clear as the later generations imagined that the secular forces are not as clear as later generations imagined, Cao Cao won meritorious service by suppressing the Yellow Turban in the early stage, and then recruited hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans to descend to the pawn, according to the thought, and the Yellow Turban should be opposed, but after his death, many doubts are engraved with "The sky is dead, the Yellow Sky should stand" Eight big characters, this is a mystery that historians do not solve.

Of course, for Deng Ji at this time, for Anwu Jiaotian and other clansmen, he didn't dare to get involved in this place, and occasionally Changde, Deng Zhong and others came to worship, and he had to secretly act like a thief, so he knew that he was covering his ears and stealing the bell, and he didn't dare to put it on the surface.
