On September 10, the military posture training in the army finally ended, and Wen Yuan began to let the soldiers learn the method of marching in the queue, as well as familiarize themselves with the flag and banner orders.

In addition to training, there is another major thing that must be implemented, and that is to open up the wasteland!

It is now late autumn, the weather is gradually getting colder, and in more than a month, the earth will be frozen, and it will be even more difficult to open up the wasteland at that time.

In addition, Wen Yuan has 1,300 regular soldiers in his hands, but there are nearly 1,500 heavy soldiers, and now the soldiers have no combat mission, and the baggage soldiers are obviously more, and Wen Yuan just drew a thousand people from them to open up the wasteland and farm.

September 11, Wen Yuan with more than 1,000 heavy soldiers and more than 2,000 strong to the north of the city, these more than 1,000 young people in the city, there are also Wen Yuan army sergeants and soldiers' relatives, these people come to help open up the wasteland, although Wen Yuan does not pay wages, but also manage two meals a day, now the autumn harvest has just passed, it is the agricultural leisure, these young people heard about the cultivation of rice, one by one are actively to sign up, if it is not for Wen Yuan's hands are not rich in food, I am afraid that the entire Xia Quyang in the young and strong have to come.

As early as when Wen Yuan entered the city, he had ordered his subordinates to go around the city to investigate, to see where there was more wasteland, where the soil was fertile, and finally Wen Yuan chose a piece in the north of the city near the south bank of the Hutuo River, which is close to the river beach, the soil is fertile, and it is convenient to take water for irrigation, it is a rare fertile land, originally such a good field will not be abandoned and wait for Wen Yuan to open, just because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the wealthy families or were raided, or fled everywhere, and these good fields under their names gradually became barren, and then although there were small people and small households to the north of the city to open up the wasteland, After all, there are only a limited number of them, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion started with Julu, and the entire county is like this.

More than 3,000 people, more than 3,000 hoes alone, this is easy to find, Wenyuan collected the inventory of the iron shop in the entire county and made it up, the matter of the plow is more troublesome, there are more than 1,000 cattle in the Wenyuan army, and Wenyuan let the soldiers serve like baby bumps on weekdays, just to be used as a plough in the future, but so many iron plows are really difficult to complete for a while, as soon as Wenyuan arrived in Xiaquyang, he urgently ordered the county, the blacksmiths in the army to step up the build, and made people buy in Linxian County, until now so many iron plows have been gathered.

Wen Yuan led a large group of people to the ground, each of them divided a plot, more than a dozen baggage soldiers scattered with small drums, Wen Yuan smiled at Zhang Yu and Wang Li beside him: "You two, do you have the courage to compare with me?" "Okay, young master! Than Kaitian, I won't let you. Zhang Yu smiled happily. Adults want to compare, and villains will naturally accompany them! Wang Li also replied solemnly.

Wen Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, then let's compare, whoever loses, he will be punished for three days and not allowed to eat meat!" “

Zhang Wang and the others nodded in agreement, Wen Yuan immediately raised the hoe, roared and picked it down, and the baggage soldiers beat the small drum, the sound was as dense as raindrops!

Since much of the wasteland to be cultivated was previously cultivated, it was not much effort to remove the weeds from the ground and turn it over with oxen and horses.

Wen Yuan picked up one hoe after another, turning over the grass roots buried in the ground, where did he do this in his previous life? After a while, he was already sweating on his forehead, but fortunately, his current body didn't know how many times stronger it was than in his previous life, and he was much faster than the peasants around him.

When he looked back, he saw Zhang Yu wawa wawing the hoe in his hand, seeing that his progress was the slowest, and he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, but although Wang Li was silent, he was hoeing like the wind, slower than himself, but only a little bit worse.

The soldiers around him saw that the master would work so hard, and none of them dared to slack off, and those young men wanted to have free meals, and they were also in full swing.

In just one morning, more than 3,000 people opened up more than 1,000 acres of farmland.

Wen Yuan rubbed his sour arms and sat on the soft ground, and in the morning, he himself opened up almost an acre of land, almost three times that of ordinary soldiers, making everyone stunned. Zhang Yu only opened four points of land, and Wang Li was only a little less than Wen Yuan, and a group of people saw that the lord was so strong, and they all spoke out in admiration.

"It's time to eat! It's time to eat! Everyone, stop the meeting and have a full meal. The sound of bangs sounded, and more than a dozen strong women pushed wheelbarrows and rushed to bow their heads.

Since he waved the hoe, Wen Yuan's waist has never straightened up, and when he straightened up at this time, he suddenly felt sore, nnd, it was really more tiring than fighting a bloody battle.

Clearing the wasteland is a personal work, and Wen Yuan doesn't want the people below to be lazy because they can't eat, so he gives a lot of food, all of which are real cakes or corn, and he makes some wild vegetables to make soup on weekdays, and he has to add meat dishes every few days.

Because it was the first day, each worker was given a bowl of broth, many people may not have been touched with meat for a long time, seeing this fragrant broth, they couldn't help but shed tears, and many people were reluctant to drink, they were careful to put it away, and drank some to the elderly and children who took it home to the family.

can eat a full meal, the strong laborers who were recruited to work all showed happy smiles on their faces, General Zhang is a good person, there is no official frame at all, he has a warm smile at everyone, he has lived for half a life, who has seen such a big official work in the field, not to mention that he does more than ordinary people, and eats the same as these poor people. Compared with him, the officials in the past were really all animals, and they often did not pay wages and servants so that the people did not talk about it, and they paid as much taxes as cattle hair. General Zhang's army discipline is also so strict, unlike those troops who have come before, as soon as they enter the city, they are like bandits...

After eating, Wen Yuan continued to open up the wasteland with the energetic and enthusiastic people, and opened up more than 1,000 acres of farmland.

The reason why he was so anxious was because at this time, even Wen Yuan began to panic, the grain and grass in his hands were only enough to feed three thousand people for a year, but after his repeated tosses, more than two hundred truckloads of military food were not even enough to support three months! In other words, in more than a month, Wen Yuan's soldiers will run out of food.

Zhang Jaw came to persuade Wen Yuan several times, so that Wen Yuan could make a plan early, either to reduce everyone's food supply, or to find a way to raise a batch of grain and grass as soon as possible. Wen Yuan wanted to break his head, but he was still hesitant, and he almost lost weight all over his body.

On this day, Wen Yuan was opening up the wasteland in the north of the city, and suddenly heard that Han Fu, the assassin of Jizhou, sent someone to carry a letter, and the person was already waiting in the county office.

The clerk hurriedly rushed back to the county office, only to see an elegant scribe standing in front of the hall, who turned out to be Han Fu's confidant Xin Ping. The two exchanged pleasantries and sat down separately.

During the conversation, Wen Yuan has already unfolded Han Fu's letter, the letter will be in Luoyang in August Luoyang to explain to Wen Yuan in detail, as historical development, He Jin did not listen to the advice, entered the palace was killed by the eunuch, Dong Zhuo took advantage of the civil strife in Luoyang, brazenly led heavy troops into the city, and then because of the abolition of the young emperor Liu Wei and Ding Yuan fell out, so that Zhonglang will Li Su buy through his fellow villager Lu Bu, kill Ding Yuan and take all his people, in the letter Han Fu more warm words to comfort Wen Yuan, persuade him to mourn and change, just stationed in Jizhou, but in the future but there is a need, he is also willing to do his best to support.

This letter is obviously a letter of appointment for Wen Yuan, Han Fu can write such a letter to him as a little lieutenant with such dignity as the honor of the history of a state, and ordinary people must have already been grateful and sworn to serve his life, but who is Wen Yuan? He is very aware of the development of history after more than two years, this Jizhou pastor will be robbed of his foundation by Yuan Shao, followed by fear and suicide, and let Wen Yuan go to this mediocre talent who has not been able to jump for a long time? Even if Wen Yuan has no long-term plan for the future, he will definitely not be reluctant.

But at least the superficial work in front of him still has to be done, and if he copes with it properly, maybe he can knock it back, but before Wen Yuan could close the letter, tears had already fallen, and he said sadly: "Woohoo! Ding Gong! I don't want to say goodbye to Gongzi in the capital, and I will never see each other again! ”

Wen Yuan's suffering is not completely pretentious, Ding Yuan has the grace of knowing him, and he is indeed sad to hear the news of his death!

Xin Ping was busy on the side and moved to persuade him, Wen Yuan just cried bitterly, Xin Ping persuaded him several times, and sighed: "General Zhang is really a righteous man!" Please also ask the general to mourn and discuss revenge in the future! ”

After a long while, Wen Yuan suppressed his grief, gritted his teeth and said, "Dong Zhuo old thief!" I will behead you to relieve this hatred! ”
