"I want you to learn more about first aid, but you don't listen."

Huang Chongzhen was helpless, stepped forward and patted the young man's back, raised his two arms, and handed him the bamboo cup with warm boiled water on the table.

The young man poured a glass of water "gurgling", which made him feel better, exhaled a long string of turbid breath, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Ah Zhen." ”

Huang Chongzhen waved his hand, then looked around at the rest of the teenagers and said, "See, right?" Eat slowly. ”

As he spoke, he glared at Wu Sangui again, as if to say-don't be blind.

Wu Sangui shrunk his neck and rolled his eyes, obviously knowing that he was wrong, but he was not convinced.

Huang Chongzhen took Gu Yanwu's little hand back to the eaves of his house, and Gu Tongying said with admiration in his heart: "My brother has seen a lot at a young age, and he even knows this thing, and he is so detailed, which really makes Gu admire." ”

Huang Chongzhen thought to himself that in this era, no one could understand his sweet potato feelings, and his heart had changed from excitement to doubt, so he asked: "As far as my younger brother knows, this thing is not a native species in China, I don't know where Brother Gu got it?" ”

"My brother even knows this, admire and admire."

The honest Gu Tongying didn't delve into why Huang Chongzhen knew this, but sighed sincerely: "It's not a secret, I happened to see this thing in Jiangnan with high yield, and it is easier to grow than rice, so there is no need to take care of it as carefully as rice."

Overjoyed, knowing that the northern part of the Central Plains of China had suffered drought for many years and the grain harvest was poor, he promoted it in the township, and also had more reserves to support the frequent wars.

However, probably because Jiangnan is rich, not many squires are willing to change their fertile fields where rice is grown into dry land for growing sweet potatoes.

Later, I heard that Xiong Shuai was defending the border in Liaoyang and other places to resist the Houjin Iron Cavalry, so he brought this thing to cast it to do his best.

However, after all, Xiong Shuai saw this thing for the first time, and the so-called seeing is what he hears, so he did not plant it on a large scale that year, but tried to plant it first to see the effect.

Of course, a certain villager has limited manpower, the number of people brought is limited, and there is no way to plant it on a large scale. In the first year, the right to be a nursery. The next year, he planted in many fields, but Xiong Shuai was impeached and stepped down.

Yuan Yingtai came, but he didn't uproot the vines all over the ground. But finally waited until the harvest was about to be harvested, Jiannu came again, and Liao Shen, who was praised by Yuan Yingtai as impregnable, was broken in an instant.

In the midst of the chaos, a certain and the villagers dug some desperately, and returned to Guangning with the rebellious army, everything seemed so noisy, the grain and grass of the imperial court had not arrived for a long time, and a certain and the villagers were helpless, and they were reluctant to eat some.

Fortunately, Xiong Shuai came to Guangning after his reinstatement, desperately trying to stabilize the situation, and also planted sweet potatoes in the ground according to the law.

Xiong Shuai tried his best to protect it, but he was constrained everywhere, especially the old king that his brother said, so he was defeated after all.

I waited for the situation to be alone, unable to recover the decline, so I had to cast the previous method again, in the chaos of the army, desperately digging some sweet potatoes, panicked, wolves rushed to the mountain, although barren, but there was no pursuer.

Maybe it's fate, on the way, I met the clumsy Jing who was also a deserter, so I opened up the wasteland here, gave birth to children, and found a peaceful place in this troubled world. ”

Huang Chongzhen threw the peeled sweet potato skin into the chicken coop next to him, while slowly biting the faintly fragrant sweet potato meat, and at the same time listening to Gu Tongying's narration, his heart was full of emotion.

He knew that the elite of the three battalions directly belonging to the Ming Dynasty had been completely lost in the Battle of Tumubao.

In order to deal with the increasingly frequent local rebellions, the military power of the Ming Dynasty tended to be decentralized, and the army based on the family or nation gradually increased.

The Qi family army and the Yu family army that grew up in the Pingkou War, and the white pole soldiers and wolf soldiers in the southwest.

The Liaodong Iron Cavalry of Li Chengliang's family in Liaodong, as well as the Tianxiong Army and the Qin Army pulled up by Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting respectively in the late Ming Dynasty, are among the leaders.

However, although these armies have a strong family or private nature, they are all loyal and patriotic, and they have paid everything for the last Han dynasty of the Ming Dynasty.

Compared with Qi Jiguang, Li Rusong, Qin Liangyu, Lu Xiangsheng, and Sun Chuanting, Wu Sangui, Zuo Liangyu and others are far from each other.

And Gu Tongying and the Jiangnan villagers he brought with him, in this increasingly chaotic world, seem so insignificant, but they are also silently guarding the Han land and summer land under their feet in a way that they are familiar with and can do.

Therefore, Huang Chongzhen got up, stood up straight with a "snap", raised his fingers into palms in his head, formed his arms into a solid triangle, and solemnly performed a standard modern military salute towards Gu Tongying and his fellow villagers.

Zhou Ji and the rest of the teenagers, even Wu Sangui, were willing to do the same, which was both respect and gratitude.

Gu Tongying didn't know why, but he also felt the sincerity of the teenagers, and waved his hand again and again and said, "What is this doing?" It doesn't have to be this way, it doesn't have to be this way. ”

It was Gu Yanwu, who felt solemn and interesting, and the sound of "hey" also straightened his small body, and his little hand was also hooked on the small brain, forming a modern military salute.

Huang Chongzhen laughed, corrected the details for him, and stroked his gentle Han family child's bun, who raised his head and smiled at him.

After sitting down again, Huang Chongzhen revealed a trace of solemnity, and said to Gu Tongying: "In this way, the sweet potatoes in Liaoyang and Guangning have been all obtained by Houjin?" ”

"That's true."

Gu Tongying nodded helplessly and distressedly, and said to him with relief: "But you don't have to worry too much, Jiannu is not good at farming, and he doesn't know the habits of sweet potatoes, and there are very few people in the north who have seen this thing, so even if you know that this thing is highly productive, if you want to study it thoroughly, it will take many years to plant it on a large scale." ”

Huang Chongzhen was silent, he always believed that sweet potatoes should have been quietly introduced to China after the middle of the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that because of the underdeveloped communication, the government does not pay attention to it, and the Chinese people have always liked to plant crops that have been handed down from ancient times, and most of them are more reluctant to use foreign objects.

In addition, the phenomenon of the Xiaoice River is becoming more and more serious, there are more and more natural disasters, and man-made disasters are also becoming more and more intense, and more and more desperate people join the ranks of rebellion for many reasons.

There are fewer and fewer people and the environment to farm with peace of mind, so it has not been promoted for a long time.

This phenomenon continued until Houjin entered the customs, the phenomenon of the Xiaoice River gradually passed, the big waves washed the sand, and the people who liked to rebel and dared to rebel almost died, and the ancient land of China was quiet again.

Because there were so few things to eat, sweet potatoes, a high-yield and relatively easy-to-grow crop, quickly spread, feeding many people and increasing the population.

Even so, Huang Chongzhen still asked Gu Tongying hopefully: "In the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, the southeast coast, has this thing been planted on a large scale?" ”

Gu Tongying shook his head and said: "The water network of Jiangsu and Zhejiang has always been rich, and the rice can be harvested twice a year. Fujian is mountainous and the cultivated land is a little barren, but as long as you are diligent, you can dig out a lot of food from the mountains to eat.

Not to mention the Yuedi, if the operation is good, the rice can be harvested three times a year. It is precisely because of this that these people in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and southeast China do not attach much importance to the high yield of sweet potatoes, especially the wealthy squires and powerful families.

After all, my brother also knows that it is easy to put this thing in the ...... if you eat too much Some are indecent and easily regurgitated. The squires in the southeast of the south of the Yangtze River are powerful, most of them are rich and rival the country, and they are delicacies of the mountains and seas every day.

For sweet potatoes, a coarse grain, they are greedy for freshness, and who would eat it as a staple food to fill their stomachs? Moreover, most of the fertile land in the southeast of the Yangtze River is in the hands of those squires and magnates.

And who wants to take it out and plant this crop that pigs love to eat? That is to say, the poorer people will reclaim two or three ridges of land in front of and behind the house, and grow some seasonal vegetables and grains, and sweet potatoes are among them.

After all, the disputes in the world are getting more and more fierce, and the tax apportionment of the imperial court to the rich land is getting heavier and heavier. ”

After saying this, Huang Chongzhen secretly sighed, "Sure enough", suddenly his heart moved, and asked, "I wonder if Brother Gu has ever seen potatoes?"

Oh, it's a round and chubby Western crop that grows underground, and it is said that it can also be called snow peas. Ever seen? It is also one of the miscellaneous grains often planted by the people in Jiangnan? That's great.

And what about corn? It's so big, one by one, it looks a little like a stick, and it's yellow like a grain of gold. Also seen? That's great, wow, God bless you.

Ah, I really want to fly to the southeast of Jiangnan and sprinkle these good things on every inch of China......"

Halfway through his emotion, Huang Chongzhen felt that his black face was a little hot.

After looking closely, I realized that everyone was looking at themselves like fools with hot eyes, and they blushed rarely, and said with a smile: "Isn't it a dream to let every poor Chinese person have a full stomach?"

Brother Gu, let's add WeChat...... Oh, the little brother means to say, always contact, always contact. By the way, Brother Gu, are you really not going back to Jiangnan for the time being? I think you'd better go back.

Back to Jiangnan, whether it is reasonable to know it, or to move it with affection, in short, it is necessary to promote these crops as soon as possible, even if it is not a means to be cheated and deceived.

You're saying that there's a big guy named Xu Guangqi who is already doing this, right? Hey, the big guy has a lot of things and a lot of worries, how can we, the low-level people, be straightforward and happy?

And there are many powerful people in Beijing like the dog hair of my second dog, most of these people are not right about people, and most of the fields are owned by squires and magnates.

Xu Guangqi is no matter how big the boss is, and under heavy constraints, he may not devote his whole life to the promotion of high-yield crops.

Are you afraid that Houjin will enter the customs through the Chengde Road through Liuhe Road? At that time, it is better to report to Daankou Ma Lanyu and other guards?

Don't worry, this route is tested by us, although it is difficult to work, and it is even more difficult for the team to pass, but it is feasible after all. With the stunned posture of the Jurchens, Houjin should really come.

However, if there is really a day when the army of Jiannu will be detained from here, if there is no preparation in and out of the pass, then no matter how many people outside the pass report the news, it will be useless.

To be honest, my family's vision is really not limited to the front line of Guan Ningjin, but the Ningjin Ancient Road is the closest to Houjin, and it has been repeatedly deducted, so it has to focus on defense.

However, after we enter the pass from Daankou and Ma Lanyu and return to Ningjin, I believe that even if the guards of these passes are ignorant and fail to realize the key to it.

The marshal of my family will definitely see it clearly, so he will propose to the emperor to rectify the lax military equipment in these places. ”

Gu Tongying was moved by Huang Chongzhen's words, he had the idea of returning to Jiangnan with his wife and children, so he hit it off with this kid, and promised to start preparing in the near future and return to Jiangnan.

However, no matter how lax the garrison of the Great Wall passes such as Daankou and Ma Lanyu is, if these civilians suddenly appear, they will still be subject to a strict interrogation.

After all, this road has been a long, long time, and no one has walked it.

And Gu Tong should get this little daughter-in-law outside the customs, and she looks so beautiful and full of charm.

Although the rest of the sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law are rough and strong, they have been raised by this good mountain and water for so long, and they all have some posture, and they are all dangerous, and their buttocks are also fat.

The boring guards suddenly saw so many, and they didn't scream like dogs and pounce on them?

Therefore, Huang Chongzhen persuaded him to pack up immediately, follow himself and others, and enter the customs together.

Gu Yanwu cheered at this, and Huang Chongzhen smiled and peeled an egg for him.

But I heard him say vaguely with a small mouth stuffed with eggs: "Big brother, eat it, my mother has already peeled one for me, and I'm eating it." ”

As he spoke, he waved the remaining half of his hand.

Huang Chongzhen smiled, and then stuffed half of it into his mouth, and after chewing a few times, he also stuffed the other half into it - this was the first whole egg he had eaten since he came to Daming.

This moved him so much that he looked at Gu Tongying's gaze more sincerely, and it was almost affectionate.

Gu Yanwu peeled him again with his chubby little hands, and it was pitted, but Huang Chongzhen only chose the ones on the eggshell to eat, leaving the whole thing for him to grow up, but his eyes never left his father for a moment.

Fortunately, it was my father...... Not a mother......

Wu Sangui, who has not eaten eggs for a long time, has not refused to come, one bite at a time, and his cheeks have been bulging since he ate the first bite of eggs.

With the ugly appearance that can't even peel the eggshell, he will only wait for the family to peel it and hand it to him, which makes the originally handsome face look extremely hideous.

The family didn't eat a single one, but he ate five or six in one go, which was still insufficient, but there was no more in the bamboo bowl, so he stared at the remaining half of the saliva in the hands of the children, which attracted a meal of disdain from the bear children.
