Sun Guanyu didn't know Wei Qianlang and didn't take Wei Qianlang's words to heart.

He had palpitations, and he hadn't completely calmed down, his eyes crossed Wei Qianlang's shoulder, and he looked at Zhao Sichen with a smile.

Zhao Sichen felt that Sun Guanyu was like an injured puppy, aggrieved and pitiful.

She couldn't help but comfort: "Boss Sun, the bandits have all been subdued, and now we have many guards, so there will be no more accidents in the second half of the night." What's more—"

Zhao Sichen's voice brought a smile: "You were brave and unparalleled just now, slashing and killing the bandit leader, it should be that the bandits are afraid of you." ”

Wei Qianlang heard Zhao Sichen praise Sun Guanyu for being "heroic and unparalleled", and his face instantly sank.

He looked Sun Guanyu up and down several times.

Although Sun Guanyu is a few years older than them, he is white, tender and weak, and he is a weak chicken.

Zhao Sichen didn't praise him for being "heroic and unparalleled", where did Sun Guanyu get his face?

Wei Qianlang's body moved, blocking Sun Guanyu's gaze at Zhao Sichen.

Sun Guanyu was forced to withdraw his eyes and put his eyes on Wei Qianlang.

Although Sun Guanyu didn't understand why Wei Qianlang looked displeased.

But it is also common for young people in the army to be cold and silent.

Sun Guanyu hurriedly put away his emotions, clasped his fists and saluted: "This little general, thank you for your help." Haven't asked yet? ”

Wei Qianlang snorted and said, "It's a trivial matter, it's not enough to worry about. ”

When he thought of Zhao Sichen walking with this kind of little white face for more than ten days, he couldn't help but want to beat him.

Zhao Sichen came out from behind Wei Qianlang and introduced the two people: "Boss Sun, this is General Wei Xiao, and now he is the deputy of General Pu Wen of the Beidi Army."

Little Third Master, this is Boss Sun, the young owner of Sun's spice shop. ”

Wei Qianlang sighed.

The expression was not interested.

Zhao Sichen pulled Wei Qianlang's sleeve and signaled with his eyes: This is the master, who wants to share the money with them after earning it.

Wei Qianlang's sleeve was pulled down by Zhao Sichen.

This small gesture suddenly calmed his displeasure.

The whole heart seemed to be flowing through with a warm current, crispy and numb.

Wei Qianlang's mood improved inexplicably, and he showed a smile at Sun Guanyu: "I've seen Boss Sun." ”

Sun Guanyu was taken aback by Wei Qianlang's high and low emotions.

However, he had just picked up a small life, and he didn't care about it as a fluctuation of his heart for the rest of his life.

The guards moved quickly, and after an hour, they had already dug a pit and buried the bandits and guards who had lost their lives in the fierce battle in the depths of the dense forest.

Sun Guanyu was very emotional in his heart, and deliberately wrote a wooden plaque and inserted it in front of the grave of the dead guard, in order to bring the ashes of the guards back to Daqing City on the return trip, so that they could return to their homeland and be buried in peace.

The rest of the bandits were tied up with cowhide ropes and tied under the tree.

The guards swept the battlefield, putting aside their arrows and swords, and brushing away the bloodstained sand.

Then he gathered firewood and lit a bonfire in an open area for everyone to light and keep warm.

There are also maids who have recovered emotionally, helping to carry water and boil water for everyone to quench their thirst and wash.

Although all the bandits have been captured and eliminated, the guards of the Three Princes' Mansion and the Northland Military Camp have not slackened, and they are still divided into three roads according to the usual practice, keeping vigil separately.

It's nearly three watches in the night.

Originally, everyone should have fallen asleep by this time.

It's just that after a night of fierce fighting, everyone couldn't sleep, huddled into a pile in twos and threes, chatting quietly.

Wei Qianlang and Zhao Sichen washed the blood on their hands, and the two of them walked a few steps to the side side by side, whispering about the current situation.

Zhao Sichen asked strangely, "Why did you happen to come here?" ”

Wei Qianlang's face couldn't help but feel hot, but fortunately, the twilight was deep and he couldn't see the change in his expression.

Wei Qianlang coughed softly and said, "Now that spring is beginning and the weather is getting warmer, there is not much to do in the barracks except for daily drills.

I thought that there were still many bandits on the post road from Daqing City to Beidi, so I took a team of personal soldiers to patrol back and forth.

Coincidentally, I actually met you. ”

Wei Qianlang was embarrassed to say that-

He estimated that Zhao Sichen and his party were close to the north, and he couldn't wait to see her-

That's why I took my soldiers back and forth on the post road every day, hoping to see her one day sooner.

Zhao Sichen didn't think too much about Wei Qianlang's answer, she also thought it was just a coincidence, and continued to follow Wei Qianlang's words with a smile: "I heard that you made a meritorious contribution to suppressing bandits at the end of last year, and even the Holy Lord rewarded you.

I thought the road was already safe, but I didn't-"

Wei Qianlang sighed and said: "Originally, it was the busy farming season, but this year there was very little rain, and it is estimated that the harvest will be poor, and many people simply don't farm, and just want to live by forcible grabbing——"

Zhao Sichen also sighed: "It's all forced by life." ”

She pointed to the two dozen bandits tied up behind her, "What are you going to do with them?" ”

Wei Qianlang said: "The bandits caught in the Beidi military camp will be sent to the mines to work as coolies, and they will stay until they have completed three years of prison before they can return home. ”

Zhao Sichen sighed: "In the final analysis, it's because the materials in the north are too poor......"

Wei Qianlang shook his head and said helplessly: "The winter in the north is very cold, and the days of heavy snow alone can last for three months.

When it's really cold, the snow at the door can pile up to knees high in one night.

If you don't sweep the snow in front of the door for a day, you can't even get out of the door.

In the Northland, no matter what you do, you will do it for half a year and rest for half a year.

The people in the customs are better, they have a city and a fixed place to live.

Outside the customs, most of them are herdsmen, bringing cattle and sheep with them, migrating with water and grass......

The people I can see this year will never come back next year......

It's also very difficult to grow grain, and the harvest is not high......"

Hearing Wei Qianlang talk about the difficulty of planting, Zhao Sichen's heart moved, and he asked: "What kind of food do the people here in the north mainly grow?" ”

Wei Qianlang said: "The left and right are just millet crops, and the yield is not high, and it is difficult to compare with the rich land of Jianghuai. ”

Zhao Sichen asked: "I don't know if you have heard that people in the north grow soybeans?" ”

Wei Qianlang looked at Zhao Sichen suspiciously: "Soybeans? ”

Zhao Sichen saw Wei Qianlang's puzzled face, and smiled slightly: "You haven't heard of it, presumably not." ”

Wei Qianlang said: "Or there are few people who plant, so I don't know." If you want to know, I can have someone look for it. ”

Zhao Sichen nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give you the shape of this crop when I go back, and you can ask your subordinates to look for it with a drawing." ”

Wei Qianlang said: "What is unique about this crop? ”

Zhao explained: "Soybeans are a crop that is suitable for growing in the Northland.

This grain can be eaten, oil can be squeezed, and okara is fed to pigs and cows.

In addition, because of the high oil content of soybeans, even if you only feed pigs and cattle with okara, pork can grow quickly without wasting at all. ”

Listening to Zhao Sichen's words, Wei Qianlang said with a smile: "If there is really such a crop, after planting, it can fill the stomachs of the people in the north, and it can also make pigs and cattle grow meat, it is really a great merit." ”

Zhao Sichen heard Wei Qianlang put a high hat on her, so he waved his hand again and again in fright, and said with a smile: "I may not be able to find it, it's just an idea, don't be in a hurry to praise me first."

If it is really planted in the future, the farmers in the north have surplus crops or soybean oil, and they can also be transported to Daqing City from north to south through trade routes.

Presumably, farmers in the north can make money and improve their lives in this way, and they can benefit even more. ”

Zhao Sichen vaguely remembers that the main production areas of soybeans are in Heilongjiang and Inner Mongolia, and the output can account for more than half of the country.

It is thought that this crop is cold and frost resistant, and the large temperature difference between day and night is conducive to the growth of soybeans.

It's just that it's not widely promoted yet.

I believe that after many searches, you will definitely be able to find the people who grow soybeans, or the seeds of wild soybeans.

……

……

The next day, Wei Qianlang, Zhao Sichen and Sun Guanyu rode first, and a group of guards and soldiers escorted the bandits, and followed behind with the maids and servants in the carriage.

Two hours later, the three men were the first to reach the Northland barracks.

General Pu, the commander of the Northland military camp, was nearly forty years old, with a strong body and a majestic appearance, and the beard on his face made him look quite majestic.

General Pu guarded the northern border of Wei and was a well-known fierce general of Wei.

When he heard that the three princes were coming to the barracks, he was quite worried, worried that the three princes who came to the north to gild would dictate the affairs of the army, and worried that the three princes who were bitter cold in the north would not be able to serve the three princes with golden branches and jade leaves.

Unexpectedly, after Wei Qianlang came to the Northland, he did not reveal his identity in the military camp, and ate and lived with a group of soldiers.

General Pu was also very relieved to see that Wei Qianlang was doing things properly.

Of course, he also knew Wei Qianlang's true identity, and he didn't dare to hold it up in front of the three princes of Wei.

In addition, Anding Houfu is also a military general, and has a good relationship with General Pu's Mansion.

The Stability Houfu specially wrote a letter, asking General Pu to take care of Wei Qianlang and Zhao Sichen.

Therefore, General Pu and Wei Qianlang respected each other, were quite polite, and got along very well.

General Pu also heard a little about Zhao Sichen, and the ladies of General Pu's mansion also participated in the poetry banquet of the Lili Dining House.

Therefore, before the arrival of Zhao Sichen and his entourage, General Pu had already prepared a military tent and a number of supplies.

Seeing Zhao Sichen and Wei Qianlang coming on horseback, General Pu laughed and greeted the military tent: "I thought you should have arrived a few days ago, but I didn't expect to wait until today." ”

Zhao Sichen and Sun Guanyu saluted General Pu.

General Pu said with a smile: "Come inside, please, I have prepared wine and food to catch the wind and wash the dust for you." ”

The military tent is simple, but the food prepared by the cook has a northland flavor, and it looks very pleasant.

Freshly roasted leg of lamb sizzles and is smeared with cumin, pepper and a handful of white salt.

A variety of freshly picked melons and fruits are placed on the table, which is very tempting.

There is also a jar of wine, which has not yet been opened, and is prepared for guests.

Rao is Sun Guanyu, who has a big pile of gold, and he also feels that his appetite has increased greatly when he sees it.

General Pu saw that although Zhao Sichen was young, he had extraordinary knowledge. Sun Guanyu is like a white-faced scholar, but he also has his own opinions, and he is happy in his heart at the moment, and he raises his glass again and again.

Zhao Sichen and Sun Guanyu traveled a long distance and encountered bandits, and they were already hungry.

Now seeing that General Pu is arrogant, he is not polite at the moment, he let go of his restraints, eats meat, drinks wine and chats, and the atmosphere in the military tent is harmonious.
