Chapter 10 Big Eaters

Feng Jian was thinking about how to improve his own plan, when he suddenly heard someone talking, and looked up to see Su Su standing in front of the table.

Looking at Su Su in front of him with a timid look, Feng Jian exaggerated: "Oops! It's a little showman! Well, do you want to take a look at these herbal patterns? ”

Su Su's face turned pink and red, others called Feng Jian Master Feng, she said behind her back Feng Jian called her name, but Feng Jian kept calling her Xiao Xiucai ridiculously. It sounds weird, and it feels a little weird.

She thought that Feng Jian would ask about the literacy school as soon as she came up, but who knew what herbal medicine diagram she would see when they met.

I was cramped for a while, and then I got closer to see what kind of herbal medicine diagram was drawn on Feng Jian's paper.

I saw that the table was full of pictures of plants of different shapes, which crookedly indicated the names and simple uses of some plant medicines.

Looking carefully at the words on the paper, she couldn't help laughing, she quickly covered her mouth with her hand and peeked at Feng Jian, only to see that Feng Jian seemed indifferent. After carefully reading the text introduction on the paper again, I understood that Feng Jian originally drew a diagram of Chinese herbal medicine plants.

"Well, Feng Xiaoqi, this is a Chinese herbal medicine plant graphic drawn! You can't really recognize it if you don't recognize it carefully! I remember that my father's collection of books had several medical books, and there were many drawings in them. ”

"You have a ready-made one at home, why didn't you say it earlier,!" Feng Jian was a little surprised.

Su Su glared at Feng Jian, and his eyes were unconsciously filled with resentment: "Why did I say it earlier...... I mean...... How do I know adults need it! ”

Feeling that look with a charming gaze, Feng Jian touched his chin and turned his gaze to the side, he really couldn't stand this kind of flattering gaze. This Su Su is too, you are a big man with a pair of charming eyes, Lao Tzu is not a base! Feng Jian secretly slandered himself.

"That's right, I want to ask you to teach some people the ability to distinguish herbs in the shortest possible time, there are many precious herbs on this mountain, I plan to take advantage of the slack to organize the people of Jishao Zhuang to go into the mountain to collect medicine, and keep it for their own use or transport it to the outside of the mountain in exchange for food and materials."

Su Su said with a surprised face: "You don't know? ”

"Don't know what?" Feng Jian looked dazed.

Seeing that Feng Jian was dazed, Su Su tried to hold back a smile and explained: "The villagers usually have a headache and brain fever, so they go up the mountain to pick some herbs for treatment, and most of the herbs in this mountain can be recognized by the villagers, so they still need to be taught!" ”

Zhuanghu people live in poverty, small diseases and small disasters are their own medicine collection and treatment, some people after a long period of practice to know many wild herbs of the medicine surname, and even in the understanding of some herbs more than the doctor.

Even Li Shizhen, a medical saint, admitted that many of the Chinese herbal medicines included in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" were only known and understood through the introduction and identification of old farmers.

These Feng Jian really don't know!

Later generations are overcrowded, not to mention herbs in the mountains and forests, and even the trees on the mountains have been cut down. If you are sick, go directly to the hanging bottle.

In this era, the population is still too small, and medicine is not developed, and some wild herbs are all over the deep mountains and rivers and no one picks them!

Feng Jian deliberately said with a bitter face: "Hey, I knew what I was painting all day long, I was tired." ”

Looking at Feng Jian with a bitter gourd on his face, Su Su finally couldn't help but giggle.

was laughing vigorously, and suddenly found that Feng Jian looked at him strangely, and quickly covered his mouth and stopped for a while before saying, "That, is there something wrong?" I'll go back first. ”

Feng Jian couldn't help but say, "Su Su, why do I always think that you behave like a woman?" Come here, I'll touch it!

Su Su was stunned for a moment, his white cheeks quickly turned pink, and he looked at Feng Jian with bright eyes and said, "You, you bandit, I will go back first if there is nothing to do." He hurriedly turned around and left the office.

Feng Jian said: "Hey, don't go, I'll talk about it casually, I'm originally a bandit, you're a female bandit!" ”

Su Su, who was hurrying outside the house, stumbled and almost fell!

"Hey, don't go, I'm going to ask you about the literacy school!" Feng Jian shouted a little scoundrelly.

…………………………………………………………………………

In the Huluyan cottage meeting hall, Hu Dadao and other five team leaders sat around the head of the general commander Xu Ma Gang, and several Huluyan high-level leaders were meeting.

On the table of the Eight Immortals next to Xu Mabang, there were a few cut watermelons, and the rinded watermelon rinds were thrown on the table.

The weather was hot, and several people were drenched in sweat, and they felt that the wind coming out of the pu fan was full of heat. On this sweltering day, eating a few pieces of watermelon soaked in cold water will definitely quench your thirst. It's just that there are many people on the mountain and there is little land, and these seasonal melons and fruits can only be enjoyed by the Grand Commander and the five leaders.

Xu Mabang fanned the big pu fan in his hand, looked around at the five team leaders and said: "Together with the sentry men and horses who led Lao Hu to the cottage, we already have ten outposts in Huluyan, with a population of nearly four thousand. Of course, most of them are old and weak, women and children, and the young and strong only account for less than 20%, that is, the terrain around our Huluyan is open, and there is more wasteland that can be reclaimed to barely feed everyone, that is to say, feeding 4,000 people is the limit of Huluyan. ”

Yan Zhanwei, the leader of the second corps, wiped the sweat on his face with his hand and said: "Great commander, according to the villain, it is purely a waste of food to feed those women, children, and children in the cottage, it is better to drive these people out of the cottage, and only the young and strong will exist in the cottage." ”

Yan Zhanwei fled from other places, and he was alone, so he couldn't understand the difficulty of dragging his family with him.

Xu Mabang looked at Yan Zhanwei and said in a tone of lesson: "Old Yan, pay attention to the tone and occasion when you speak, almost all of the leaders here have family members in the cottage, you ask them if they agree to drive the women, children, old and young out of the cottage!" ”

Yan Zhanwei looked at several leaders who glared at him, and said, "The villain is also thinking about the cottage......"

Jiang San'er, the leader of the first corps, followed the Xu Ma Gang at the earliest, and was a confidant of the Xu Ma Gang, he was short and strong, and his surname was relatively rude.

He pointed his finger at Yan Zhanwei and scolded: "For the sake of the cottage, I don't know what kind of birdman you are?" You deserters from Liaodong, what else will you do besides killing people and setting fires? ”

Xu Mabang glanced at Yan Zhanwei, who had a gloomy face, and said loudly: "Jiang San'er shut up, Leader Yan is also thinking about the cottage, and he doesn't choose what to say for a while, you can't go too far." ”

Jiang San'er gasped sullenly, picked up half of the watermelon and nibbled on it.

Looking at Yan Zhanwei again, he didn't make a sound, just stared at Jiang San'er with a gloomy face, the corners of his mouth couldn't stop shaking, and he couldn't see it if he didn't pay attention.

Hu Dadao said on the side: "Great Commander, in the future, Huluyan should strictly limit the increase in population, and mobilize the villagers in the village to reclaim as much wasteland as possible. ”

Xu Mabang nodded and said, "Old Hu, what you said is right, in the future, we must find ways to increase wasteland reclamation." ”

Xu Ma Gang deliberately eased the atmosphere, and then asked, "Has the winter wheat been planted by that kid from Feng Jian?" ”

At the mention of Feng Jian, Hu Dadao's face was obviously shocked, as if he was meritorious, and said: "I am still a great commander, under the leadership of Feng Jian, in just a few days, the fertilization and sowing and watering of the cultivated land have been completely completed, and the sowing time has not been delayed at all. ”

"It's true! How did he do it?"

Several high-level cottage officials present, including Commander Xu Da, showed surprise on their faces.

Xu Mabang laughed and said, "This kid! It seems that the Grand Commander is really not mistaken. Lao Hu, tell me in detail how they cultivated the wasteland? ”

Hu Dadao explained: "To put it bluntly, Jishao does not divide the cultivated land to each household like other outposts in the cottage, and let each family cultivate the land independently. According to the boy himself, he gathered all the young and strong laborers of his outpost and cultivated the land collectively, and the old and young of the outpost were responsible for boiling water and cooking for everyone, and after the harvest in the coming year, he went out to distribute food according to the amount of effort contributed by each person. It is said that as long as the old and young participate in the labor, there will be a harvest in the coming year. Strange to say, this large group of people gathered together to cultivate the fields, much faster than a single family farming, everyone has planted winter wheat on their own posts, and we and the farmers have just finished plowing the fields. Hu Dadao gestured while speaking, trying to be as clear and intuitive as possible.

Xu Mabang nodded and exclaimed: "I didn't expect this kid Feng Jian to come up with such a good idea, and I have the opportunity to go to my own post to check it out in person." ”

Hu Dadao hurriedly said: "The great commander personally went to his own post to investigate, and the villain welcomed the arrival of the great commander on behalf of Feng Jian and the people of his own post!" ”

Xu Mabang smiled and said: "Just your big knife and clever mouth, this commander can talk about it casually, you are serious!" ”

Seeing that the leaders had returned to normal, Xu Mabang continued: "Seeing that it is going to September, from now until the New Year, this period is the agricultural slack season, and the cottage guards have nothing to do. ”

When the five leaders saw that Xu Ma Gang was talking about the topic, they all sat down seriously and listened carefully to what Xu Ma Gang said, because going down the mountain to fight the grass valley is related to the interests of each corps itself, and how to arrange the details of the grass valley must be listened to carefully.

Xu Ma Gang saw that the five leaders listened carefully, and continued: "After the leaders go back, they must step up and urge their guards to practice martial arts and fitness. The commander received the news that there was a Zhishi court official surnamed Shi in Taojiataizi, 20 miles southwest of Huluyan, who built a walled fort outside the village, and the walled fort was completed, and the birthday banquet was held in the fort in recent days. ”

Jiang San'er didn't care about Xu Mabang's words on the side, and interjected: "I heard that this official surnamed Shi Zhishi, this dog said, I heard that the entire walled fort covers an area of thirty acres, and it is completely a small city from the outside. The walled wall is more than one zhang high, and there are family members patrolling and guarding it at night, and there is even a trench more than one zhang wide around the walled fort......"

It seems that Xu Mabang didn't blame him for interjecting, but just "snorted", prompting Jiang San'er to stop talking, and continued: "This official surnamed Zhishi is also afraid of robbery, and he has raised more than 100 strong families in the fort. I heard that these families are also equipped with a few birds, and there are patrols on the wall at night. It is said that the suspension bridge can be put down to enter and exit the walled fort, and once the suspension bridge is put away, no one is allowed to enter or exit. ”

Yan Zhanwei said in a dark voice: "Just from the fact that he built such a big walled fort, you can know that it is not a good bird at all, we should rob this person, this kind of official must have a lot of beautiful concubines, and when the time comes, they will grab it with money and food to ...... the mountain." ”
