The next day, Yun Xue led her younger brothers to work in the field. Yun Ni cleaned up the house and went to the field, and Yun Zhen came back from the barracks and went to work in the field. Yunxia has Dong Lao watching, and they don't have to worry about it, so they naturally hurry up and farm the land.

Originally, Dong Lao also had to work in the field, but Yun Xue didn't let him, don't look at Dong Lao's body is quite tough, but last year's illness hurt his vitality after all. Moreover, Yun Xue took the old man over, just to provide for him to support the elderly, where could he let him work again. "Master, you don't know the rules here, how many old people still work in the fields after they pass sixty? If you go farming, the people in the village won't laugh at me to death? As long as you help me watch the clouds, I will be very satisfied. ”

Dong Lao had no choice but to agree. "Okay, I'll cook for you at noon." He was afraid that the children would be too tired.

"No, didn't we just bake pancakes a while ago? Yunni got up in the morning and folded the pancakes, put them in the kitchen cupboard, and we ate them at noon. "When she first baked pancakes, it was just for the convenience of eating at this time, otherwise she wouldn't have bothered to make pancakes.

Dong Lao saw that Yun Xue arranged it very thoughtfully, so he didn't say anything, and led Yun Xia out to play chess with those old men. Many old men in the village are idle at this time, and only those who are not worried about their children and grandchildren will let the old men of the family work in the fields with them, and ordinary people will not do this.

In the Han family's field, a group of children are busy.

The fertilizer has already been sprinkled in the ground in advance, so just dig the furrow and sprinkle the seeds into it. Yun Xue, Yun Zhen, and Tianfu held pickaxes in their hands and cut ditches in front. Yun Ting, Yun Lei, and Yun Ni sowed seeds in the back. Sorghum, millet, and millet are all ridged, and they are sown quite quickly.

"Spread as many seeds as possible, these things are not like corn, you need to be far away, this one has to be planted more densely. If it's too thin, you won't be able to get food in the fall. Yun Xue was digging the ground and told the next few at the same time.

Planting sorghum is different from corn beans, it needs to be denser, and even when going to the ground, the ridges are wider than corn, so that you can plant more.

The sisters and brothers are just busy working in the field, and the large piece of land in front of them is their own, which makes people feel beautiful in their hearts. "Eldest sister, our family has planted so much land this year, and in the autumn, we will definitely be able to make a lot of food." Yun Zhen just learned that the eldest sister had bought land at home. As long as he thought that the grain would be piled up in the warehouse in the autumn, Yun Zhen felt that he had a lot of energy to work.

"Yes, you wait and see, in the autumn, there will be so much food in our family that there will be no place to put it." Yun Xue smiled proudly. Their family, from two acres of land to more than a dozen acres, then to more than 30 acres, and then to more than 60 acres now, I believe that there will be more in the future, and when they have hundreds of acres of land, they will become landlords. As long as she thought of that scene, Yun Xue felt that she could wake up laughing from her dreams.

"Let's work hard, buy more land in the future, and our family's life will get better and better." Yun Xue smiled and encouraged her younger siblings.

"Sister, don't worry, we will all work hard." The clouds shouted.

"By the way, Third Brother Shen asked me to tell my eldest sister that he is too busy today, so he needs to go around and take a look, and when he is busy, he will come over to help with farming." Yun Zhen suddenly remembered this and hurriedly told Yun Xue.

Yun Xue nodded, she had long been aware of this. The army was stationed all over the river, and there were many things waiting for him to deal with. Shen Hongjun is the general of Shen Hongjun's army, he has to go over and take a look.

Shen Hongjun took Shen Zhong and Shen Liang all the way from the fifteen ditches and went east to see all the villages. Everywhere he went, he personally inquired about the soldiers' residences and the places where they needed to open up wasteland. Because it was the first year, Shen Hongjun didn't plan to let them open a lot of wasteland. Generally, first get out 50 acres and plant some sweet potatoes, potatoes, pumpkins and other things to raise the land. Little by little, we will open up the wasteland, and wait until next year to find a way to grow food.

"The main thing is to grow a variety of vegetables, and it's not too late to grow vegetables at this time. Ask the villagers for some seeds and plant them quickly, so that after a while you will have vegetables to eat. Grain, grass and other things can still be transported from the state and county seats, but vegetables and the like still need to be found by ourselves. Shen Hongjun said to the general who led the troops.

"The general can rest assured that these subordinates are clear." The garrison general replied.

"It's good to send dozens of people to patrol during the day, and some of them will be sent out to clear the wasteland, and the other part will be released to help the villagers farm the land. If you see that there is too little labor to do it, you will go and help them. The most important thing for us to stay here is to live in harmony with the villagers. They must not do anything to oppress the people, and the sergeants are not allowed to drink alcohol. In addition, there are women in the village, and the law in the army is that you must not get close to women, and you must not do anything to bully women. Got it? Shen Hongjun instructed very seriously.

"My subordinates understand that we are soldiers who defend our homes and country, not bandits who bully the people. Those old habits of the past will never be repeated. This answer is the thief that Shen Hongjun subdued before, this person is brave and good at fighting, and he is a rare talent.

In fact, these bandits, they were also forced to go up the mountain to become bandits. Now that they are in the army, they can be fed and clothed, and more importantly, they will have a future in the future, so everyone cherishes this opportunity. Moreover, they are all locals, and they have an unimaginable attachment and love for the land in front of them. Shen Hongjun let them reclaim the wasteland, which means that they can have land to grow in the future, and they can also lead the army from the imperial court to pay salaries, and they will no longer be discriminated against. In this kind of day, although they are not as free as when they are thieves, they drink wine and eat meat freely, but they live a more dignified life. They are all a group of bloody men, and no one wants to put a good future at risk, so they have to go back to be bandits.

Shen Hongjun went to the village chief of the village again and talked with the village chief for a while. The main thing is to let the village chief restrain the people in the village, especially the young women in the village, and try not to hang out in front of these sergeants. It is true that the military order is like a mountain, but Shen Hongjun does not dare to guarantee that these sergeants really have no thoughts. If something happens, his good intentions to send troops to garrison him will be all in vain.

The village chief naturally patted his chest and assured that this kind of thing would never happen.

It took Shen Hongjun three days to finally walk through the villages along the river, and then returned to the fifteenth ditch. From then on, the army settled down in the villages.

On the second night after the army was stationed, Village Chief Zhao gathered all the villagers together and held a meeting for everyone. "The big guys all understand that the army is stationed in the village, this is a matter that the imperial court attaches importance to the other side of the river, and with these sergeants in the future, we will have a bottom in our hearts. However, the sergeants are stationed in the village, and there are some things that need our attention. ”

Village Chief Zhao cleared his throat, "This has been a soldier for three or two years, and the sow can be regarded as a sable cicada, not to mention, some of these people were originally bandits." Therefore, each family must restrain their daughters and daughters-in-law, and don't run in front of those sergeants to hang around. These soldiers are all young men with strong blood, and if something happens, it's not easy to do. The big guys get it, don't they? ”

"Uncle Zhao, don't worry about this, we all know it in our hearts." Someone shouted.

"Well, it's okay to have a number, but I told you in advance, if you don't care, and something happens at that time, don't come to me. In addition, these sergeants want to open up the wasteland and get some seeds from us. If there are sweet potatoes or rapeseeds, give them some. These people are also bitter, they also have to have food to eat, people are here for us, so we can't give up such a thing, right? Village Chief Zhao explained everything one by one.

Everyone understands what Village Chief Zhao said later, but the villagers don't have anything to eat, sweet potatoes and potatoes, and they don't have enough to eat at home. It's vegetable seeds, which every household has, so it's not a problem to give some of them.

Tianfu came on behalf of the Han family, and when he returned home, he talked to Yun Xue about the words of the village chief. "Eldest sister, is there a lot of sweet potato seedlings that our family has sent this year? Otherwise, leave some for Shen Sange and them. There are also potatoes, I think there are a lot of leftovers, they have sprouted so long that they can't be eaten, and they will be taken away when the time comes. Tianfu discussed with Yun Xue.

"Okay, it's all up to you. These things are up to you. Yun Xue smiled.

When Shen Hongjun came back from outside, Yun Xue asked Tianfu and the others to send a lot of seeds. Last year, a lot of soybeans were planted at home, and Yun Xue deliberately set aside a lot of seeds, and this time they also let Tianfu send them thirty catties. In addition, what adzuki beans and Suzi were also sent, anyway, they are all crops suitable for growing on wasteland.

"Yunxue, thank you, in the village, the Han family has sent the most, and there are all kinds of them." When Shen Hongjun came over in the evening, he expressed his gratitude to Yun Xue.

"What is this? If you have it at home, send it over. If not, if you ask me to send it, I won't be able to take it out. Yun Xue said with a smile. What do you think? Is everything arranged? ”

"Well, it's almost over, these things can't be rushed, they all have to be done slowly, little by little. The main thing now is to hurry up and open up some land and plant things in the field, so that it will be better to wait until autumn. Waiting for the end of spring ploughing, they will slowly open up the wasteland and keep it for next year. "Shen Hongjun is actually quite tired these days. But when he saw Yun Xue, his heart was a lot lighter.

The next day, Yun Xue led her younger brothers to work in the field. Yun Ni cleaned up the house and went to the field, and Yun Zhen came back from the barracks and went to work in the field. Yunxia has Dong Lao watching, and they don't have to worry about it, so they naturally hurry up and farm the land.
