Chapter 549: Spring is in full bloom

Chen Chuan was silent, to be honest, he kind of thought, there is iron ore here, and occupying it means that they can always replenish their armaments.

Chen Wu snorted coldly and said, "Do you dare to take it?" How long can you keep it after you take it? ”

"Is it a month, or is it two months?" He said: "Zhao Hanzhang's grain and grass will be delivered in January, and it may be possible that the time will be compressed later, can the seeds sown in the field be harvested?" ”

"There is no food, everything is in vain, that is, there is food, Luoyang to Gucheng, morning and evening, we only have 5,000 soldiers, how many soldiers and horses does she have?" Chen Wu said: "Do you think we can defend Gucheng?" ”

"There are many sober people like me in this world, but there are not many people like her who have a big heart and trust, and it is because of her trust that we cannot do treacherous things." He sighed faintly, "This is her cleverness." ”

Chen Wu will not betray Zhao Hanzhang, at least not for this year.

There have been some changes outside Luoyang City, and it is no longer a barren and dead piece.

In the field next to the official road, someone was swinging a whip to drive the oxen to plow the field, and the field that was previously overgrown with weeds had become mainly yellow-brown, and the soil below had been turned up to bury the grass.

There are also many people on the slope next to it, wielding hoes and working, and there are many people, almost every field.

Zhao Hanzhang reined in the horse and let Zeng Yue lead the people first, while she and Fu Tinghan dismounted and walked towards the ground.

Tinghe and Fu An hurriedly dismounted and followed.

Chen Laohan scattered the beans along the ridge, and his little grandson walked barefoot behind, sweeping the soil down and burying it with his feet, one deep and one shallow.

When Chen Laohan saw it, while scolding him, he pulled people to him, hung the basket with beans on him, and said: "Let you scatter bean seeds, you will stuff them in your mouth, let you cover the soil, and you won't, this is this year's rations, and you can't eat if you don't grow well." ”

Chen Laohan gently patted the back of his hand several times, and admonished him: "Don't steal bean seeds, just follow what I taught you, sow bean seeds, you know, not much, not too little." ”

The little grandson responded obediently, grabbed a handful of beans, and carefully sprinkled them into the ditch.

Chen Laohan looked at the density and was barely satisfied, so he followed him to cover the soil, and looked up at him from time to time to make sure that he didn't steal food before he was relieved.

Zhao Hanzhang went down to the ground and saw the soybeans that were not covered, so he pinched one and saw it, the grains were full and looked good.

She smiled, dropped the bean, and buried the earth in it.

Zhao Hanzhang glanced at Chen Laohan and his grandson, who were facing away from them and drifting away, and walked to the edge of the ridge to watch people plow.

The soil in the fields is somewhat moist, but there is no water, Luoyang has been dry in the past two years, except for the river, which can also store water for paddy fields, and the fields in other places are dry most of the time.

Jin Laohan, who was driving the cattle in circles, also saw Zhao Hanzhang and them, and there was an army passing by just now, and they all saw it.

He glanced at the horses not far behind them and the dozen or so soldiers who stayed on them, and asked in a loud voice, "Are the two officials?" ”

Although there were two people, one was a woman and the other was a man, three or four of the officials in Luoyang City who were responsible for placing them during this time were girls.

They also already knew that the new Yuzhou Thorn Shi and Runan County Duke was a girl, and it was Zhao Hanzhang, who was very famous before.

Maybe it's because she's a girl, and there are many girls under her who are officials.

In this troubled era where the leaders are changing one stubble after another, the people accept it well.

Even tomorrow when someone tells them that a pig has become emperor, they will not be surprised, and will accept it quickly.

Zhao Hanzhang didn't deny it, smiled and bowed his head, and asked, "Uncle, what do you want to plant on this land?" ”

"Millet."

"Isn't millet good, don't you grow wheat?"

"The wheat has been planted," Jin Laohan raised his hand and pointed to a large field in the distance, "Oh, the one that was planted." ”

Zhao Hanzhang nodded with satisfaction and asked, "How many people are in my father-in-law's family, how many acres of land are you going to plant this year?" ”

"My family of four, my wife and I with two grandchildren," he said, "planting five acres of wheat, five acres of millet, and five acres of beans." ”

Zhao Hanzhang asked, "How many acres of land is divided into the family?" ”

"Forty acres." Jin Laohan said: "My wife and I have twenty acres each. ”

But in fact, they can't finish planting, first, because the labor is not enough, and second, the time does not allow it.

didn't finish planting, Zhao Hanzhang didn't regret it, and said with a smile: "It's okay like this, whether it's millet or wheat, eat fat, and when the autumn harvest is over, you can change the seeds and let the land recuperate." ”

When Jin Laohan heard this, he knew that she knew how to farm, and immediately became happy, "That's right, Li Zheng also explained to us like this, and asked us to plant beans in the field, saying that beans raise land, but we are so busy, where can we plant beans in order to raise land, just plant a few acres." ”

Zhao Hanzhang agreed.

Fu Tinghan curiously pointed to the slope above and asked, "Since there is a field to grow beans, why did he plant soybeans on the slope?" ”

"That's Chen Laohan, he is stubborn, not to say that there is a lot of rain in Luoyang after the summer this year, and soybeans are not good to plant in the field, so they should be planted in dry land, that land does not look like it is in the middle of the slope, but the soil is pine, and it is brown, and it is excellent to plant beans."

Zhao Hanzhang thought thoughtfully, "Is there a lot of rain in Luoyang this year?" ”

"Who knows, he said a lot, I don't think it's much, from last year to now, Luoyang has not had a few rains," Jin Laohan unloaded the plough and let the cattle go aside to graze and rest, leaning on the ridge and talking to them, "It also rained two drizzles some time ago, otherwise I don't even want to plant wheat, or plant millet and beans to be more drought-tolerant." ”

Zhao Hanzhang nodded with a smile and encouraged him: "My husband works hard, look at this posture, he should be able to have a bumper harvest this year." ”

"I hope so, but this year's life is a little better," he said with a smile: "The imperial court gave relief food, and let those soldiers help make fertilizer, General Zhao is kind, and the new county commander is in charge of affairs, and there is more hope for life." ”

Only then did he remember and asked: "I have never seen two of them in Luoyang, um......" He looked at Fu Tinghan and said: "This Langjun is a little familiar, but the girl has never seen it, what kind of official are you here to be in Luoyang?" ”

Before Zhao Hanzhang could answer, a young man ran not far away and shouted: "Jin Laohan, the time has come, this cow is my turn." ”

As soon as Jin Laohan heard this voice, he subconsciously ran towards the cow, grabbed the rope and said, "Where is enough, today is my family's day." ”

"It's sunset now."

"It's your turn tomorrow morning, and if you come to my house tomorrow morning to get it, I'll have to herd the cows and graze."

"That's not good, I'll put it myself, I don't need you." The two of you go back and forth to snatch the rope.

The rope was quite long, and the ox grazes undisturbed, ignoring the two humans competing for it.

The young man couldn't be very hard, and he couldn't argue with the old man, so he looked at Zhao Hanzhang and them angrily.

Zhao Hanzhang was watching with relish, and when he saw him coming, he patted his ass and wanted to leave, but the young man suddenly widened his eyes, ran over and knelt on the ground with a plop, "General, eldest prince, are you here to judge me?" ”
