The autumn harvest is in full swing.

Patches of crops outside the city were harvested by the sickle. Although the peasants were sweating, they were smiling.

Wheat and rice are threshed and dried. The stalks are also dried and used as ignitions. There are also farmers who take it back and feed it to the sheep.

The harvest came as promised.

The hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the land of Nine Forts, not only do they not need to worry about the food for the coming year, but there is also a surplus.

On the other hand, the yield of other crops has dropped to almost zero.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians can only eat enough at present, not to mention the quality of life. After the grain was harvested, every household had a hunting bow, and the men who could hunt went up to the mountains in groups to hunt.

The claim for land has reached the limit, and the only way to claim it is to go to the mountains. In order to survive the winter, the animals on the mountain eat themselves fat.

Reading in spring and summer, hunting in autumn and winter.

At present, the heavy armor soldiers of Beishan Fort have a great demand for meat. The game and meat caught by these hunters will be taken back and sold to the government.

The officials of the Fu Han General's Mansion paid extremely fairly.

I robbed the slaughterhouse of the job, and it belonged to yes.

Not to mention other places for the time being, there are more than 10,000 acres of fertile land of the Wu family outside this Beishan Fort. They were all bought by Wu Nian from the hands of officials at a low price.

Afternoon.

The autumn breeze was cool, but it was still a little hot for a strong man like Wu Nian. Especially after punching and sweating.

Wu Nian hid in the pavilion and ate mung bean soup to relieve the heat.

"Da Da Da!!"

Liu Xiang walked over first, followed by three maidservants and a sturdy woman, their eyes did not leave Liu Xiang, and they looked very closely.

She was now pregnant, and her lower abdomen was slightly bulging. Although she is the wife of an official, her hard-working nature does not change, and she walks in a tigerish manner.

It's not. I just went to inspect the grain produced in my own fields and came back.

"Brother. Our family has a bit of a lot of food. There may be three million catties. It's really inconvenient to dry. There's nowhere to store it. ”

Liu Xiang came to sit opposite Wu Nian, her little face full of sorrow.

"Are you happy?" Wu Nian raised his head and asked faintly.

"Happy." Liu Xiang said without thinking, changed her face in seconds, and her eyebrows danced happily.

More than 10,000 acres of land, look at it and be sure.

"Let's have a little fun, then. In a few days. The officials of the Fuhan General's Mansion will receive your grain. Next year, you won't have to worry about our family's so many fields. ”

"Because we're going to live in the county. I will sell this more than 10,000 acres of land at a low price, or distribute it to the military households of the original Beishan Fort. ”

Wu Nian continued to say quietly.

It was as if it was a knife that stabbed Yanagi in the chest. Liu Xiang's face turned pale in pain, and she hurriedly stood up and sat next to Wu Nian, grabbed Wu Nian's arm with her little hands, and asked in a panic, "Brother." That's why, this is our family's acres. Heirloom. ”

When the maidservants and healthy women around heard this, their faces were also pale, which one did the general sing.

"Rest assured. I have better heirlooms. The field, for our Wu family, no longer has any meaning. ”

Wu Nian smiled and reached out to touch Liu Xiang's little head, and then reached out and put his hand on her bulging lower abdomen.

Although the palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, girls and boys are the same.

But boys can inherit the family business.

The heart of the king is born, and he should take these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains as acres. Take these mountains and rivers as money.

If Liu Xiang gave birth to a son, it was he who would inherit it.

Swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger.

Liu Xiang didn't know Wu Nian's abacus, she was very angry, very angry, and she couldn't coax well. Angrily, he turned around and left.

"Xiang'er, you go slowly." Wu Nian hurriedly shouted.

This little girl, don't you know you're pregnant?

"Da Da Da!"

As soon as Liu Xiang left, there was another sound of footsteps. Wu Nian looked up and saw Liu Zhixing leading a strange young man over.

The young man had a dark complexion, wore a black dress with narrow sleeves, and exuded a lean atmosphere. He looks like a businessman in the eastern Liaodong territory.

Wu Nian's heart moved, and he turned his head to the maid behind him and said, "Let's go down with mung bean soup." ”

"Yes." The maid answered, bent down and packed up the dishes and chopsticks.

"General. This is it. Liu Zhixing quickly came to Wu Nian's front and nodded at Wu Nian.

"I beg your pardon for being rude." The young man clasped his hands into fists, then came to Wu Nian's side, and whispered, "Let General Wu know." My general plans to send troops in the Chinese New Year's Eve. ”

Wu Nian's eyes flashed, and then he pushed the young man away with his right hand.

The Chinese New Year's Eve sent troops, and there was no Xiong I thought of coming out. It's really unscrupulous.

The young man walked away, bowing respectfully.

"Thank you for your hard work." Wu Nian nodded, then stood up and said to Liu Zhixing, "Summons the high-ranking officials in General Fuhan's mansion." ”

"Yes."

Liu Zhixing nodded, and immediately turned around and went down. Soon after. Wu Nian put on a battle jacket, and under the escort of his own soldiers, he left the Wu Mansion and came to the outside of the hall of the Fuhan General's Mansion.

"General."

Inside the hall. More than a dozen high-ranking officials of the Fuhan General's Mansion, including Liu Zhixing and Li Yong, sat separately on both sides, and after seeing Wu Nian, they all stood up and bowed.

"Sit." Wu Nian nodded and asked them to sit down. He came to the throne and sat down.

Wu Nian's eyes swept over everyone present, of course, including Zhang Bu's spy, Chen Ning.

This guy is currently in charge of the granary.

The soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first. The granary officer is an absolute high-ranking official in the Fuhan General's Mansion.

After retracting his eyes, a smile appeared on Wu Nian's face and said, "Everyone. This year's autumn harvest is sufficient, and there are 22 elite soldiers and 1,000 households, who are not afraid of death. ”

"It's time for us to get out of Fort Northhill. Capture the county seat and drive out the Mengyuan people. ”

"You cooperate with Liu Changshi, Li Sima. Mobilize grain, grass, and baggage. ”

"Summons the captains of various ministries and thousands of households."

"Just wait for my order. He recovered Liaodong and expelled the Tartars. ”

In the end, the smile on Wu Nian's face retracted, and was replaced by a face full of slaughter. Huo Ran stood up, his voice was like a bear and a tiger, and his momentum soared into the sky.

Except for Chen Ning, all of them are hot-blooded men. In order to wait for this moment, they tried their best to help Wu Nian support the Fuhan General's Mansion.

The land of Nine Castles is run like an iron bucket.

After listening to Wu Nian's words, their morale was immediately boosted. also stood up, hugged his fists at Wu Nian, and said loudly: "Recover Liaodong and expel the Tartars." ”

Chen Ning was in the middle of it, and he also stood up. It's just that in his heart, he is calculating.

"There is food, there are elite soldiers. Wu Nian is full of confidence. I have to hurry up and pass the news back to Zhang Wanhu. ”

With Wu Nian's order, the land of Nine Forts was in full operation.

The captains and thousands of households of various departments slowed down their training, allowing the soldiers to recharge and wait for the war.

However, Wu Nian did not make it clear when he would send troops.

Where to attack.
