On May 13 of the fourth year of Chongzhen, all the peaks under Huluyan began to enter the wheat harvest period, Huluyan now has a population of nearly 100,000 people, three acres of barren hillside land per capita, and almost half of the fields are planted with wheat.

In order to speed up the progress of the wheat harvest, Feng Jian ordered the three thousand headquarters of the Zhenshan Battalion to be dispatched to the mutual aid association under Huluyan to assist in the wheat harvest.

With more than 3,000 soldiers of the Zhenshan Battalion participating in the wheat harvest, it took only three days for the Huluyan Mutual Aid Association to successfully complete this year's wheat harvest, and then the soldiers of the Zhenshan Battalion returned to the unit to continue normal training.

On the huge square of Huluyan, nearly 100 tall wheat warehouses are erected, and the heads of each household in the cottage are waiting in line for the cottage mutual aid association to settle the harvest of the fields that the mutual aid association should return to the farmers.

According to the rules of the mutual aid association, the cottage households signed an agreement with the mutual aid association to transfer their own fields to the mutual aid association, and when the field was harvested, the mutual aid association would return 30% of the harvest of all fields to the mutual aid association, and the remaining harvest would be distributed according to the number of acres of land in each household.

The heads of each household waiting in line have their own small abacus, calculating how much wheat will be left in their own homes after the mutual aid association collects and stores public grain, and whether they can support the whole family's food rations for a year.

I didn't know it, but I was shocked when I calculated it, and after thinking about it, I found that except for the public rations drawn by the mutual aid association, each household received more grain than the grain harvested from the rented cottage fields.

In other words, the Mutual Aid Association distributed more food to the cottage families than they had originally obtained from farming.

How can this happen, the dealer does not know the reason, and the explanation given by the mutual aid association is. Contiguous cultivated fields can greatly exert the advantages of land to form a scale, and its manpower and material resources field fertilization input is reduced. Put the saved resources into the field, and the natural field will be harvested.

What is the answer. The dealer can hear the clouds and mountains and fog!

However, in any case, in the past, the harvest of a year of tiring work was not as much as it is now, and the fact that the mutual aid association returned such food made the villagers feel that the mutual aid association could bring great benefits, and naturally resolutely supported and supported the mutual aid association.

Feng Jian flipped through a few pages of the account book of the mutual aid association's collection and storage of public grain, and at the end of the account book, it was noted that 19,610 stone of wheat had been planted in the cottage and 19,610 stone had been harvested, and the amount of public grain collected and stored by the mutual aid association was 5,883 stone.

The remaining grain can harvest three stones and five buckets of grain per capita, and the wheat harvest alone can make the Huluyan Zhuang households no longer have to worry about hunger!

Feng Jian believes that the people of the various villages under Huluyan will naturally rush to the production and operation of the Huluyan Mutual Aid Association when they see the harvest of the Huluyan Mutual Aid Association. These are all their own use of the experience of later generations to basically solve the problem of eating the dependent people!

On May 17, the fourth year of Chongzhen, in the back hall of the Pingdu Prefecture Official Office, Zhizhou Chen stood in the middle of the hall and announced: "The Holy Lord heard that you led the subordinates of the state flood camp to exterminate the 60,000 mountain bandits and bandits in Daze Mountain, and was deeply pleased with your loyalty and bravery, and ordered to reward you with five hundred taels of silver, a silk official robe, two gold silk inlaid jade belts, and a pair ......of Western cloisonné pocket watches."

After speaking, he turned around and took the imperial gift from Chen Fu, who was standing behind him. Turning his head to look at Feng Jian, Feng Jian had already left his seat and knelt down in the envious and jealous gazes of the local officials of Pingdu Prefecture around him, kowtowed to Chen Suowen, and shouted thanks to the emperor for his gift. Then he raised his hands above his top to receive the gift.

Feng Jian didn't look at the gifts such as silver clothes in his eyes, but he was very happy with the pair of Western cloisonné pocket watches, and he was used to watching time and life. Pocket watches represent not only time, but also the perception of minutes and seconds can be replaced by pocket watches. Especially on the battlefield, the two sides agreed to launch it within the same time. There is a very different effect between a control with a pocket watch and a comparison without a pocket watch.

Chen looked at Feng Jian and said: "Feng Shoubei has shared worries for the emperor twice in a row, and made contributions to my Pingdu place, and heard from the emperor with a small garrison body, which is really unheard of for a long time, this is the opportunity of Feng Shoubei, and it is also the honor of my Pingdu place, I hope Feng Shoubei will make persistent efforts and live up to the emperor's kindness." ”

Feng Jian naturally kowtowed again and again, saying that he would live up to the grace of the saint and live up to the cultivation of Lord Zhizhou.

Waiting for the congratulatory people in the back hall to retreat, Chen Suowen sat down and said with a smile: "The virtuous nephew promised the old man a few years ago to exterminate the biggest thief in Daze Mountain within a year, who would have thought that it would be achieved in such a short time, it can be seen that the virtuous nephew is really a trustworthy person!" You have already reported the specific battle, and the old man is very yearning for the combat power of your Zhenshan Battalion, and you still have to observe it if you find the right opportunity. ”

Talking to Chen Suowen alone, Feng Jian was very relaxed, "Uncle is too famous, the little nephew can exterminate the thieves of Daqingfeng, without the blades and firearms allocated by the uncle, the little nephew and the subordinate soldiers will never be able to exterminate many thieves, and the little nephew will thank the uncle." ”

Chen Suowen laughed and said: "Let's not talk to each other as a family, now that the state flood camp is renovated, your subordinate soldiers can rest assured that they can move in, and your old man in the garrison mansion will also send someone to renovate it for you, and you can welcome your mother to move in." ”

Feng Jian said gratefully: "Thank you uncle for your thoughtful arrangement!" ”

"The dredging of the Nanjiaolai River is progressing smoothly, and the old man expects to be able to sail in two months." Governor Sun came to Han, and when the Jiaolai River was dredged and opened, he would personally lead two lucky boats to congratulate! ”

On the eighth day of June in the fourth year of Chongzhen, after the cumbersome ceremonies of the three media and six appointments, today is the happy day for Feng Jian to marry the bride, and the bride is Chen Lilan, the daughter of the Pingdu Zhizhou Mansion.

The state flood camp garrison to marry the daughter of Zhizhou can be regarded as a major event in Pingdu City, and in the past few days, this news has become a topic that most of the people in the city talk about.

Early in the morning, the Prefecture Flood Camp Military Reserve Mansion began to put up lanterns and hang ribbons, and the military garrison was plastered with the word "Xi" in big red, and there was a joyful atmosphere. Someone from every household in Huluyan rushed to the Pingdu City Garrison Mansion to send his home and congratulate the commander on his new marriage.

At this moment, Feng Jian had already gone to the Chen Mansion to marry the bride, but the garrison mansion was full of guests, not to mention the leading figures in the military and political aspects of Huluyan, in addition, the officials below the same state in Pingdu City were all present to congratulate, and the wealthy merchant gentry families such as the Cui family in Pingdu also sent leading figures to congratulate.

At this moment, in the front hall of the garrison mansion, Feng Jian's mother was wearing a silk Luo costume, full of joy, and there was a young woman in her twenties standing beside her, who was also dressed up in a new look, and she was vaguely similar to Feng Jian from her eyebrows.

From time to time, people in and out of the lobby would come in and out to congratulate Feng's mother and offer their own congratulatory ceremonies, and whenever a young man in his twenties standing on the left side of Feng's mother at this time would take the initiative to take the congratulatory rites and thank the visitors.

Feng Jian's mother looked at the continuous congratulations inside and outside the hall, and felt a lot of emotion in her heart, she never dreamed that her son would be promoted to a five-grade official, let alone marry the daughter of the Zhizhou family, and now she has become accustomed to the great changes that have occurred in her son in a short period of time, and the old man has his intuition, even unexpected things can happen to his son!

No matter which family is beautiful, she is the daughter-in-law of the Feng family after marrying her, and when the mother sees someone opening up a branch for the Feng family, she also has a matter on her mind.

The new daughter-in-law Chen Lilan has been with her for a few days, except for a little scheming, she is impeccable in all other aspects. Hey, Su Su, this kid has a thin life, and she can't be my son's wife, so you should take the time to persuade her!

Mother Feng turned her head to the young woman who was standing and waiting, and said, "Juan'er, you go and remind your family Lin Dong, and when your brother enters the door, the various rituals must not be disordered." ”

"Yes, the boy will go over and tell me!"

Needless to say, this young woman is Feng Juan, Feng Jian's sister, and the young man who is responsible for receiving the congratulatory guests is Feng Juan's husband Lin Dong.

Now Lin Dong is already the general ledger of Huluyan Dayou Grain Bank, and he has the most power in the grain bank except for the shopkeeper Pan Zhaoying.

And this big grain store originally belonged to the Cui family, a wealthy businessman in the city, Lin Dong was an apprentice in the bookkeeper, a few days ago this lucrative grain store was suddenly bought, and the shopkeeper was replaced by a fat middle-aged man.

This middle-aged man is naturally Pan Zhaoying, I heard that Huluyan was going to open a grain store in Pingdu City, and the Pingdu Cui family immediately transferred the grain store to Huluyan at a very low price, and Pan Zhaoying was the first big shopkeeper of Huluyan Grain Bank.

Accepting Dayou Grain Bank, Lin Dong's identity was naturally investigated clearly, so Feng Jian's eldest brother-in-law was quickly promoted to the big account office of Dayou Grain Bank.

Feng Juan'er came to Lin Dong and said with some distress: "There are some things to be handled by others, don't be too tired." ”

Lin Dong said with a smile: "When my wife and uncle get married, all the ceremonies must not be sloppy, and I am willing to work a little for my husband." ”

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the courtyard, and the person on duty in the courtyard came in to report: "Old lady, the bridegroom has arrived outside the gate of the house. ”

Feng Mu hurriedly arrived: "Hurry up and connect the newcomers!" ”

Suddenly, the entire garrison house sounded the horn and suona in unison, firecrackers and gongs and drums sounded in unison, and the smoke of gunpowder drifted away, and a couple of newlyweds in bright red auspicious clothes dragged the red silk slowly towards the wedding venue.

After all kinds of tedious ceremonies, the bride was sent back to the back hall of the newlywed cave to rest, and Feng Jian stepped forward again to greet and thank the guests and friends who had come to congratulate him.

The Tongzhi of Pingdu Prefecture came first to congratulate Feng Jian, then the officials of the six departments of the Zhizhou Mansion, then Cui Chengyong, the head of the Cui family, and the heads of several other wealthy gentry families in Pingdu City came to the mountain and Feng Jian Daoxi.

These people have smiling faces on their faces, their expressions are respectful and affectionate, and they come to the state to guard the adults one by one, and they all know that Feng Jian has just subdued more than 60,000 bandits in Daze Mountain, and he is a person with a real future.

Feng Jian didn't have the slightest arrogance, and greeted everyone with a smile, until the last Huluyan military and political leaders said goodbye.

Xu Yannian, Zhao Shougang, Huang Fuchun, Shen Xiaoshan, Zhou Wei, Jiao Keli, Cheng Yousheng, Fan Li, Sun Fang, Qin Huaibao, Hu Dake and others stepped forward one by one to say hello, Feng Jian looked at the people in front of him, this group of people is now attached to his hands, they are the powerful builders and promoters of the Huluyan Earthquake Mountain Camp!
