In a blink of an eye, it is already red and willow green, full of spring. Every household is busy sowing seeds in the field.

Yun Xue and Tianfu led the oxen and cultivated the land in the field.

In the ditch, some fertilizer was sprinkled sparsely.

The Han family raised some livestock last year, and Yun Xue deliberately dug a big pit at the back of the cattle pen in order to accumulate fat. On weekdays, cow dung and pig dung are poured into that big pit, and then filled with some soil, made out and dried and piled up. By this time, the dried manure had been transported to the field in ox carts.

After all, it is more than 60 acres of land, and there is not a lot of fertilizer, so after Yunxue planned which land to plant and what to plant, she sprinkled fertilizer in the ditches where she wanted to plant crops such as sorghum, millet, and millet. Just use the plough stick to wade over it, and you can cover the fertilizer.

Yunxue plans to plant more sorghum millet and the like this year, and plant less corn, after all, corn is too easy to lose. But you can't plant it at all, after all, the yield of corn is high, and it is good to grind it out to make cakes or something. Yun Xue planned that it would be better if she didn't lose it, and if she lost it, there would be no way to do it.

"Tianfu, let's plant five acres of corn this year, and the rest will be planted with sorghum and millet. On the other side of the wasteland, let's still grow soybeans, adzuki beans, sweet potatoes and potatoes, and eat them when the time comes. Yun Xue looked up and looked at this large piece of flat land, and was in a good mood.

"Okay, listen to the eldest sister." Tianfu also smiled, such a large piece of land will be his own home in the future, this feeling is indeed very exciting. "We'll be able to plow almost all the ground today. I heard Yun Ting say, tomorrow there is a holiday in the school, let's hurry up, take ten days, and we will almost be able to plant. ”

There is more land, naturally there is more work, Yun Zhen is not at home, just rely on Tianfu and Yun Xue, these jobs are really hard. The two of them have been busy these days, and they have only gotten all the fertilizer into the field and waded the ground, and it seems that it will be good to be able to finish the field this afternoon.

"Good. Yun Zhen is not at home, but you are tired. Yun Xue smiled.

"Eldest sister, if you say this again, I'm really annoyed. We are a family, why do we say that we are not burdened? Tianfu said sullenly in front.

"Okay, I won't say it, can't I say it?" Yun Xue hurriedly said. "Why don't you take a break, that's all you have to do, and you'll be able to finish it this afternoon." Yun Xue felt a sore back, these days, she was really tired.

"Okay, let's rest." Tianfu stopped, untied the plough staff, and led the oxen to the ground, where there was grass that had just emerged. The big yellow cow gnawed on the tender green grass, and the tail flicked and flicked, but it was very pleasant.

"When we're done, we'll have to go up the hill to get more wild vegetables. If it weren't for the things we saved last year, we wouldn't have anything to eat now. Yun Xue sighed and said.

"Yes, this year, the big guys are all mixed with vegetables in the grain, so they deal with eating. I've heard that some people even have rice bran mixed in it. Alas, I don't know when the price of this grain will come down, and if this happens, some people will starve. Tianfu sat on the ground, looked into the distance, and sighed.

"Eldest sister, we have to be a little more vigilant lately, I heard that Gao Li is now starting to starve to death. Some of them secretly came to our side, and even smuggled and robbed, and I heard that there were people on the other side of the sixteen ditches. ”

Yun Xue nodded, "Yes, you really have to be vigilant." If you don't get it right, it's still a trivial matter if the food is lost, but if someone dies, it's a big deal. ”

The siblings sat and talked for a while, then got up again and got ready to work. Tianfu just wanted to stretch his waist, but when he looked up, he saw many people riding horses in the distance. "Eldest sister, look, is that the third brother Shen and the second brother here?"

Yun Xue raised her head and looked in the direction that Tianfu was pointing, and sure enough, she saw a large group of people coming from a distance. The leader is not Shen Hongjun? "Why did they come back at this time? Is there something going on? ”

Shen Hongjun and the others came quickly, and they arrived at the ground in a short time. Shen Hongjun got off the horse and walked in front of Yun Xue, "Xue'er, are you okay?" His eyes burned and he stared straight at Yun Xue.

Yun Xue was a little wiped away by him, her face was a little hot, she lowered her head and said softly, "It's good, the life of the farmer is like this, I can't be idle." I'm busy every day, and the days go by quite quickly. ”

"Isn't it? Look, you're tanning again. Shen Hongjun said with a smile. This time we're here to garrison. There were always people coming from the other side of the river, and the chickens and dogs along the coast were disturbed, so I assigned people to various villages and towns along the river to help the villages defend. Once there is something, if you have precautions, you will lose a little less. ”

Yun Xue's eyes couldn't help but light up when she heard this, "You really sent people to live in various villages?" ”

This is good news, and at this time, people are panicking. If the imperial court can send troops to various villages along the river, even if there is any emergency, it can respond in time. In this way, the people can have peace of mind.

"Well, I originally brought 10,000 people to Linjiang Prefecture, and later the bandits captured about 9,000 people. Now that they are all mixed together and then distributed to various villages, Gao Li people will make trouble again, and we don't have to be afraid. Shen Hongjun looked at Yun Xue with a smile in his eyes. The girl in front of him had a pair of bright eyes, and the affection in those eyes made his heart feel hot.

"I know you're worried about Yun Zhen, so let him stay here with me." Shen Hongjun said, turning his head to look behind him, "Yun Zhen, why don't you hurry up and meet your eldest sister." ”

Yun Zhen had already dismounted, because he saw Shen Hongjun talking to his eldest sister there, he didn't dare to step forward, but just talked to Tianfu on the side. At this time, he heard Shen Hongjun call him, so he came to Yun Xue's face, "Sister, I'm back." ”

Yun Xue looked at Yun Zhen carefully, this guy seemed to be a little darker, but he looked stronger. "Looks like you're doing a good job." Yun Xue stepped forward and reached out to touch Yun Zhen's face, "It's dark, and I'm thin." Didn't you eat well over there? ”

Yun Zhen nodded, "It's all a group of big men cooking, what delicious food can be made?" It's good to be cooked. Later, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I ran to the Firehead Army, helped them cook, and almost became their leader. Yun Zhen scratched his head embarrassedly and smiled.

"Can you stay at home for a while this time? The eldest sister will make you more delicious food and make up for it. Yun Xue said, looking back at Shen Hongjun, "How many soldiers are here this time?" Where do they all live? How to solve the problem of eating? ”

"I'll discuss these with the village chief later, and the sergeant's grain and grass are all transported from the state city. I sent someone to deliver food every few days. I brought 200 people with me this time, and the rest of the village was about 150 people. When the army travels, they all bring tents and other things, but now that the weather is warm, they can live in tents. "In addition to various villages and towns, Linjiang Prefecture and Changbai County also have to send troops to garrison, and these two places naturally need more soldiers.

"You don't have to worry about this, I told those generals that they usually change shifts and patrol, and if they are fine, they will help the local people farm. We will resolutely not allow any disturbance to the people, and once discovered, we will severely punish them. When Shen Hongjun mentioned this, he couldn't help but bring out a majestic momentum, and the sergeants behind him suddenly became energetic.

"That's good, you go to the village chief first. Tianfu and I will finish our trip here, and when we go home in the evening, I will make you some food. Seeing her sweetheart, Yun Xue's heart was bubbling with beauty, and her tone of voice involuntarily softened a lot.

"Okay, then I'll go now, and when these people are settled, I'll let them come and help." Shen Hongjun also knew that the business was important, so he took a few people to find the village chief, and the rest rested in place.

Where can Yun Zhen be idle, so he went down to the ground with Tianfu at this time. "Eldest sister, you rest, this little work, I and Tianfu can do it."

So, Yun Xue stood on the ground and watched Yun Zhen and Tianfu work in the ground.

Shen Hongjun came back after a while, and then took those soldiers to a large open space at the entrance of the village, where he set up camp. This place is very good, if there is any unusual behavior on the other side, it is easy to spot here. The soldiers moved very quickly, and in a short time, they were all settled.

Shen Hongjun emphasized again. They are stationed here to prevent people from coming on the other side of the river to cause trouble, and to protect the local people. If anyone dares to do anything unfavorable to the people, he will not be spared.

The soldiers all stood straight, and everyone shouted together, "The military order is like a mountain, and those who violate it should be beheaded." ”

Shen Hongjun waved his hand and let everyone disperse.

"Childe, do you want to live with the big guy, or do you want to live in the Han family?" Shen Zhong asked on the side.

"Naturally, I live with everyone, when did you see me leave these soldiers behind and run to enjoy the blessings by myself? We're not here for a day and a half, if I always live in Han's house, it's not good for Yunxue to spread it. Besides, this is right at the entrance of the village, so if something happens, I can give an order in time. After all, the Han family is in the village, and sometimes it is not very convenient. Shen Hongjun shook his head, and then walked into his tent.

The tent where Shen Hongjun lived was larger than the others, and a simple bed was built with wooden planks. He looked inside the tent and nodded, "Okay, that's fine, we're not here to enjoy the blessings, we can almost sleep." After saying that, he didn't stay in the tent, but turned around and went out again.

Shen Zhong knew that Gongzi was going to Han's house, so he told a few words to a general in the camp, and then followed Shen Hongjun.

In a blink of an eye, it is already red and willow green, full of spring. Every household is busy sowing seeds in the field.

Yun Xue and Tianfu led the oxen and cultivated the land in the field.

In the ditch, some fertilizer was sprinkled sparsely.
