Outside Daqing Fort, the fertile land along the river is full of neat rice fields, and the rice more than a foot high grows vigorously. The water canal at the edge of the field is murmuring, the sound of water is tinkling, the sound of frogs is loud, and the people who listen are refreshed and happy.

Shen Qingyan was fascinated and asked Zhang Ke to wait on the road, she carried her skirt and ran to the ridge, looked at it obsessively, and sighed: "The fragrance of rice flowers says a good year, and I listen to the sound of frogs." It's exactly the same as the fisherman's town in the poem! ”

Wu Youxing also got out of the carriage at this time, looked at the rice fields full of eyes, and returned to his hometown in Jiangnan in a trance. When I got to the canal, I picked up the water and threw it on my face to wash away the wind and dust, not to mention how comfortable it was. I looked at the rice field in front of me again, the rice was thick and had many forks, and there was no need to ask about autumn, it must be a bumper harvest.

"Stop, what are you doing!"

Wu Youxing was watching, and suddenly there was a burst of cheers, and a team of young soldiers with flower guns ran from the road, and the young man had a tiger face, and the muzzle of the gun was aimed at Wu Youxing.

Doctor Wu was holding a rice plant and watching, and was frightened by them, and immediately broke the rice in his hand.

The young man's eyes suddenly turned red, "Okay, are you trying to steal our crops, it's not a good thing to see you, hurry up and follow us to meet the adults, and get the whip!" ”

"Look at the rice fields are also breaking the law, are you too unreasonable?"

"The truth is for good people, not for you villains, come with me quickly!" The young man stretched out his hand to pull Wu Yousex, and at this time, Shen Qingyan, who was standing on the side, couldn't stand it.

"Why are you arresting people, and if there is no royal law, I will go to your lord to complain!"

"It's the same with anyone!" The teenagers said with a tiger face: "Come with us quickly, or you will be careful!" ”

"You're welcome enough, what else?"

The boy glared, grabbed the spear in his hand, and was about to make a move, but a young man behind him grabbed his sleeve.

"Slow! How can I look at her so familiarly! The teenager behind took two steps. Rubbing his eyes, he cried out in a lost voice: "Aren't you Miss Shen?" ”

"You know me?" Shen Qingyan was startled.

The young man scratched his head: "Miss Shen, you forgot, after being in Guangning Horse City, we followed Master Zhang to see you." ”

"Horse Market?"

Shen Qingyan suddenly lost his voice and shouted, "Are you those little beggars? In a word, she was also frightened, how did the little beggar become a mighty young soldier in a few months! It's like an ugly duckling has become a white swan, and this has changed too much.

At this time, there was also a noise on the road. Qiao Tieshan took some old farmers who were patrolling the fields and happened to collide with Zhang Ke.

Zhang Ke saw the green in his eyes, and he couldn't care about pretending to be sick, so he jumped out of the car, and the more he looked at it, the happier he became.

"Uncle Qiao, tell me how the rice is doing?"

Qiao Tieshan was also happy to talk about the grain, and after Zhang Ke left, the time for sowing was almost up. All the men were mobilized, under the command of a few peasants from the south. Rice planting was completed. In those days of farming, Qiao Tieshan kept watch on the ridges day and night.

It wasn't until the planted rice seedlings took root in the soil and the tender green leaves began to rise quickly that Qiao Tieshan finally put his mind at ease.

"Young-jeong. This year, a total of more than 8,700 acres of rice have been won, and the growth is very good, and in the autumn there will be a bumper harvest, and tens of thousands of acres will be planted in the coming year. You won't be hungry! ”

Zhang Ke nodded happily: "Uncle Tieshan, are you sure of a bumper harvest?" ”

"Of course there is, the old farmers from the south have said it. With our method of raising seedlings, almost more than half a month of agricultural time, at the end of July and early August, the rice can mature, according to the previous year is the Mid-Autumn Festival in August before the frost becomes cold, the time can definitely work! ”

Qiao Tieshan said with a smile: "Yongzhen, you don't know, let's plant the paddy field, the people around are crazy, almost every day, there are people running to peek, and some people steal rice seedlings, take them back to ponder, I don't believe that such a group of people can figure out the famous, hahaha!" ”

Indeed, as Qiao Tieshan said, the cultivation of Daqing Fort did frighten many people.

The method of farming has not changed much for thousands of years, the south rice and the north wheat, but the big Qingbao played tricks, not only planted rice in Liaodong, but also planted another new thing, that is, corn!

Similarly, corn also uses the technique of early germination, which is to soak the seeds in water to allow the seeds to germinate early before planting them in the ground. Dry land with no water and steep slopes are all planted with corn.

Nearby peasants and even many landlords scoffed at this practice of the Great Qing Fort. Farming is a rule that has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is something that can be changed if you want to. They all stared, waiting to see the joke.

Who knows, the result was completely beyond their expectations.

After the planting, it was just in time for a light rain, and in two or three days the corn sprouts appeared. Seeing the ground jumping up, the growth is gratifying.

Looking at other people's crops thriving, and then looking at the low wheat seedlings in their own fields, envy, jealousy and hatred suddenly filled my heart.

Some people even say that Zhang Erlang got the god-given seed of heaven and can eat and drink without worrying. But some people believed it, and they actually came to steal the seedlings and wanted to be angry!

One night, almost half an acre of rice seedlings were lost, Qiao Tieshan was so angry that he had to send soldiers to inspect the crops every day.

After listening to the introduction, Wu Youxing couldn't help but blush, and said guiltily: "It's all because of my ignorance, and I can't help but be curious when I see the paddy fields in Liaodong." I really didn't expect that Mr. Zhang still understands the knowledge of farming? ”

Wu Youxing can't help but be surprised, chatting with Zhang Ke these days, I often hear strange theories, astronomy and geography, mathematical medicine, business and war, overseas anecdotes, all-encompassing, everything. Lao Wu has the heart to learn from Hua Tuo to split this guy's head and take a good look at what is inside.

Zhang Ke felt an unkind gaze, so he could only smile awkwardly, so let's quickly change the topic.

"Uncle Qiao, the technology of growing grain is our lifeblood, you must be more careful, especially not to let the farmers in the tuntian say it casually."

"Well, I'll personally lead the troops and watch it, and I promise that there will be no problems."

The big guy talked all the way, all the way to Daqing Fort, Zhang Ke briefly described the process along the way, and heard that nearly seven hundred Jiannu heads were cut off. Qiao Tieshan was so shocked that he almost fell to the ground.

"Yongzhen, this can be regarded as a great victory, the court will definitely have a reward, right?"

"That's not it, Brother Ke is a general!" Qiao Fu behind him patted his father's shoulder and said with a smile: "Dad, son, I can at least get a hereditary thousand households this time!" That's right, our family is counting my officials, Dad, you always talk about it, should you listen to my opinions more in the future, don't you always blow your beard and stare at you. It's okay to rest more,......"

"Little bunny! Your father is not dead yet, so he wants to usurp power, see if I don't kill you! ”

Not good!

Qiao Fu ran away, Qiao Tieshan slapped and chased, and the two of them happily ran into Daqing Fort.

……

"Uncle Zhou, this is Ling Lang's bone china altar."

Zhang Ke silently put the white jar in the old man's hand, and the old man looked dazed, as if he couldn't believe it. When I went out on the expedition, I jumped around and came back with such a jar of ashes!

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it! The second baby is not dead! ”

Whites send blacks. There's nothing cruel like this!

Zhang Ke said in a solemn tone: "Uncle Zhou, Ling Lang killed a Jiannu vest, and after being injured, he fell from the battlement with a Jiannu white-armored soldier in his arms, and waited until we appeared." He is still clinging to Jiannu! ”

The old man hugged the bone china altar, and the tears in his eyes couldn't stop flowing.

"Son, why did you leave your father behind!" The old man was in pain. My wife and family couldn't help crying.

Zhang Ke took two fifty taels of ingots from Tang Bi's hand and put them in the old man's hand.

"Uncle, Ling Lang is a hero, this is his reward for killing Tartars." Zhang Ke changed his hand and took another envelope, as well as thirty taels of silver.

"These thirty taels are the pension for the sacrifice of the brothers, and the envelope contains the deed of twenty acres, if you have any difficulties in the future, just look for me, as long as Zhang Ke can do it, he will definitely do his best."

Zhang Ke took Tang Bi and turned around and left, heading to the next house. In the low hut, Zhou Laohan's family grabbed the land deed and silver, and their eyes were round.

"Dad, Master Zhang is interesting! The second brother didn't die in vain! The boss of the Zhou family clenched his fists tightly.

Standing in the crowd, a childish young man suddenly jumped out and wiped a handful of tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Dad, big brother, I'm going to join the army, God can afford it, and my son will spell out a rich and noble. Yes, if it is...... If you are old, you will point to the field for the elderly! ”

……

A total of more than 90 soldiers died, and Zhang Ke sent the pension money from door to door, carefully comforting everyone. Compared with those soldiers who died and couldn't even leave their names, Zhang Ke treated the soldiers with absolute kindness. Because of this, the status of soldiers in Daqing Fort has skyrocketed, and more and more young people are looking forward to fighting on the battlefield.

At this moment, an even more astonishing news came, the reward of the imperial court finally came down!

Fengjibao won a great victory, and it was impossible for the imperial court not to reward it. Zhang Ke personally ordered by Wanli, which was much faster, and the others had to go through the procedures of the Ministry of War, but under the supervision, the efficiency was unprecedentedly amazing. The Seventh Taibao and the Thirteenth Taibao of Jinyiwei took the official uniforms and other things together and personally sent them to Daqing Fort.

In addition to Zhang Ke's promotion to the rank of Jinyi Counselor, Qiao Fu and Wu Boyan were both promoted to hereditary thousand households, and Du Qing was appointed to the Yizhou Health Division, which was also from the position of Qipin.

Ma Biao was appointed as the deputy thousand households, Han Guang and Chu Haitian were promoted to the hundred households, and the rest of the meritorious soldiers were promoted to the general banner and small banners. The old emperor can be regarded as rain and dew, and the gift package is delivered.

More than 100 of the more than 200 soldiers became officers, and the worst was a small banner. Don't look at the official, but the victory makes people see hope, and joining the army can indeed change fate!

I have to say that the military uniforms of the Ming Dynasty are still very beautiful, with bright red mandarin duck battle jackets, and thousands and hundreds of households are embroidered with clouded leopards and black dogs on their chests. When these soldiers who became officials rode horses, wore red flowers, and wore bright military uniforms to swagger through the city, Daqing Fort and the surrounding area were boiling. Countless young people crowded the streets, staring at them with hunger.

Before dawn, the recruiting office was crowded! (To be continued!)
