Although there is an idea of leaving the technical backbone and retaining a professional construction team, the time is obviously not ripe at present. After the celebrations, the army returned to their respective residences in Hanzhong and Xianyang counties. Those prisoners who have a long remaining sentence will naturally have to redeem their sentence first with the title they have earned. Those whose sentences are almost over are struggling, whether to return the title and reduce the sentence, or survive the sentence and leave the title to use later?

Zhang Lu and his entourage returned to their home in Huaili. After the group left, only the little slave and Wuwang were left in the house. Wuwang was self-taught, giving full play to all the provisions of Qin Law for the development of agricultural production, and also carried forward his own spirit of hardship and hard work, and took care of all the 300 acres of wasteland by himself. The little slaves cook at home. Wuwang went out early and returned late, and when the little slave's meal was ready, he personally sent it to the field.

Zhang Lu and the others have been out since mid-October, and now the summer has passed, the autumn wind is gradually rising, and it is the harvest season. It can be said that they came back at the right time, and the harvesting of grain in the field was completely manual work, and with a few more big men, the hard work of the year was rewarded.

When Zheng Anping came back, it was about noon, and the children in the middle saw it, scattered in a hurry, and went home to report the news, and the children consciously ran to the ground to report to Wuwang. Wuwang, who was harvesting in the field, received the news that Zheng Anping had returned, and he was overjoyed, put down the work in his hand, and went straight home; The little slave cooked the corn porridge early and prepared the salt and plum.

Zheng Anping and the others still had a small amount of fried millet left in their dry food bags. The first taste and texture of fried millet are excellent, and I get bored after eating them for a long time; Now when I return home, I drink the most ordinary corn porridge, and the extra sweetness fills my chest, and even the little slave looks extremely sweet!

The little slave and Wuwang got up early and had breakfast, and now they sit next to them and watch them eat and drink violently, and their hearts are also sweet.

While eating, Zhang Lu asked what had happened in the township in the past few days. Wuwang told him that there were two people in it, and they couldn't name them, and for some reason they got into a fight, and both of them were arrested, shaved off their beards, and punished to repair the city in the county. I also heard that someone injured his wife because he was unruly, and his beard was also shaved! But he was not punished to repair the city...... He talked about several cases of people in the surrounding villages who were punished for committing crimes. Zheng Anping said: "How do you know the details? ”

Wuwang said: "But if there is a offender, Li Qifu will call the township to announce it, so he knows it!" ”

Zheng Anping said: "Three hundred fields, you are preparing to cultivate?" ”

Wuwang said: "It's unprepared." In the spring, I went to the countryside to borrow and plant, and they were all full of big grains. If you lend a fixed amount, you can't borrow more, and you can't do less, but you will get it. Burning the wasteland with fire, borrowing iron and plough from official oxen, ploughing with ploughing, and exhausting 300 acres in a few days. and again, watered, and its seedlings were very strong, but in fact they were also fruitful. We cut it off, and when we hear the father's arrival, we return it. Father can take a break and explore it.

Seeing Wuwang's eyebrows dancing when he spoke, everyone was happy, gobbled up the porridge, and followed Wuwang to the field: the millet really grew strong! In the field, there are already several ridges cut by Wuwang, and they are all laid horizontally on the top of the field. Zheng Anping came to Xingtou, took off his clothes, and also went to the field to harvest. Wuwang said: "I didn't know that my father was coming, but I used a sickle." The father can reuse a sickle to the hill. “

Zheng Anping said: "You reuse oxen, reuse plows, reuse sickles, reuse seeds, how can you compensate for it?" “

Wuwang said: "Oxen, plows, and sickles are all free. If you plant it, you will taste five out of ten. All millet is a bucket per mu, and a loan of 300 mu is 30 stones, which will not increase or decrease, and it will be as it is. At the end of the year, forty-five stones will be paid. “

Zheng Anping looked at the growth of the corn valley around him, and he not only collected three stones per mu, but it was likely that nearly 1,000 stones would be collected for 300 mu. Forty-five stones, it's really a good deal!

Except for Zheng Anping, Mang Wei is a noble son and is not good at farm work; Chen Si is good at martial arts, although he has worked in the field, he is not very good at it; Zhang Lu is disabled and sick, and he can't get off the ground at all. Zheng Anping asked Mang Wei to go to Qiuli to borrow a sickle, and he received the millet together with Chen Si and Gai Nie, tied it with straw, and carried it home with a rod.

A few people tried, but Chen Si and Gai Nie could barely pick up a burden, and they didn't know how to tie knots and tie them at all. Gai Nie tried to tie the bundle, but his hands were pierced and bleeding. So the division of labor: Wuwang harvested in the field, Zheng Anping moved the cut millet to the field, tied it, and Gai Nie and Chen Si went back and forth to pick it at home. Labor was increased, and the speed of harvesting was noticeably faster.

There are not many acres of fields in Fengshui West, and there are already acres of fields in Fengshui East, and farmers in the township are harvesting in the fields everywhere. Seeing Zheng Anping come back, no matter whether he is familiar with it or not, he will come up to say hello and ask, "Is the service over?" "They thought the family had been drafted into the country to serve in the country – it was pretty much the same! Zheng Anping clenched his fists and bowed his hands, saluted one by one, and thanked the township for their care!

In the evening, Mangwei borrowed the sickle. Zhang Lu was fine, and went with him. Qiu Qifu was relatively well-informed, and he already knew that Zhang Lu and others were going to be promoted to the knighthood, so he laughed in advance and congratulated him. Do you want to expand your home? Zhang Lu said that the title has not yet been approved, and he will talk about it when the documents arrive. Qiu Qifu said: "It's a routine! Not sure? ”

Zhang Lu said: "Take Ru Jiyan, if you get it, you will be grateful!" Qiu Qifu picked a new sickle and handed it over, saying, "This sickle is the first to be fired, the edge is sharp, and the public should be cautious!" Zhang Lu and others expressed their gratitude.

When they returned home, the busy people in the fields had returned, and the little slaves had already cooked dinner. Chen Si tried the newly borrowed sickle, and it was extremely sharp: it slashed into the grain stack, and it broke all in unison. Dinner for everyone. After the meal, everyone went to the front field to hang out, the villagers came to ask about it, Gai Nie Mei fluttered to explain to them the thrilling excitement and beautiful scenery on the way, completely did not feel the difficulty of construction, and the hardships on the construction site, as if going out to travel, said that everyone's heart is itchy, I can't wait to go myself!

There are two sickles, and the speed of harvesting is accelerated. At first, Zheng Anping was not used to the iron sickle, and he also made a few cuts on his body. After a ridge of land, I became familiar with the performance of the sickle, and the new sickle was sharp, and the sharpness was different from the old sickle, so I gradually kept up with the progress of Wuwang.

During the harvest, Zheng Anping asked Wuwang, if there is 500 acres of land, can it still be cultivated? Wuwang hesitated, gritted his teeth and said, "You have to reach it!" There are some regrets, and some melancholy: "If my family is as for Qin, the fields are ploughed, there are oxen, ploughs and sickles, and they are not prosperous!" Wei has few people, Qin has few people, why is it difficult to be peaceful! ”

Zheng Anping said: "If there are people, why worry about no land!" ”

Wuwang suddenly said: "Father He has nothing to do?" ”

Zheng Anping was a little embarrassed and a little puzzled: "Although the cultivation is diligent, there is nothing to do!" ”

Wuwang said: "The master's mother once raised Gai Nie, but she had no life? If not, they may be concubines. ”

Zheng Anping said: "The five men of my family should all be married." What can I do if I am a wife for you to marry this year? ”

Wuwang was a little shy and said, "I don't know Qin Yin, if I get Qin Nu, what can I do?" ”

Zheng Anping said: "No worries." But to have children, regardless of Qin Yin and Zheng Yin. ”

Wuwang was a little twisted, but he seemed to be willing in his heart.

Zheng Anping said: "Fourth Brother Chen, even Brother Wuwei, should also marry a woman!" He thought that he had just arrived in Qin for a long time, and he had few relatives, but if he married a few relatives, he would have relatives. He even wondered, should Zhang Lu also get married?

The day after Zhang Lu returned home, he began to go to the court every day. Mang Wei drove him to Zhangtai Palace every day, Chen Sigu was the right of the car, and the guards were with the car, and the Qin guards were no longer required to escort the car. Zheng Anping and Wuwang stayed at home and were busy with farming; Gai Nie was in charge of picking and delivering it to his home. After the next dynasty, Chen Si will also come to help.

After about ten days, the grain in the field is harvested and transferred to the drying and threshing of the grain. There is a large stone mill in it, and each family in the middle takes turns to use it.

On this day, Qiu Qifu came to the house and reported the good news to everyone: Ke Wuwei Jue Jin Hairpin is a hairpin, Chen Sijue is not changing, and Zheng Anping is a doctor. Qiu Qifu said with envy: "The princes have to make great contributions, and they have their own affairs, and they are willing to carry them!" ”

Zheng Anping said: "This is not far away, that is, there should be an order." ”

The title came up, and the proposer followed the door. Chen Si's family is in the suburbs of Chen, and Mang Wei is even more pseudonymous Wuwei, incognito, and the marriage match is not by the family, only Zhang Lu invited someone to divinate the hexagram, and finally the daughter of Qiu Qifu's family and the daughter of Li Qifu's family were promised to Chen Si and Wuwei respectively, but when both parties prepared the bride price and dowry, they would be married.

There were two high lords and a doctor in the middle of the room, and it was an instant sensation. Zheng Anping discussed with Li Qifu, and in the square in front of the li, by celebrating the harvest and sacrificing to Sheji, he invited all the people to eat a meal of thick corn porridge, and Qiu Qifu also attended, so it was lively.

When the grain should be put into the warehouse, handed in and handed in, and the harvest is completed, the families began to build new homes for Wuwei and Chen Si. Originally, it was going to be expanded for Zheng Anping, but Zheng Anping refused to expand because he had just come here and the population was not large, only saying that Wuwei and Chen Si were his own guests, and if they built for them, they built it for themselves; After repeatedly working in the village, I was very uneasy.

When Zheng Anping built the house, they were all studying Qin law and did not participate in labor. They also participated in the construction of the house this time. The rafters were brought from the county, and everyone worked together, and in more than a month, the two houses were built. This time, among the three, Chen Si's residence is the tallest, because he is not changing, and Mang Wei and Zheng Anping still live in a hairpin house.

And the sweet troubles that followed were the share of fields, Mangwei 300 acres, Chen 4400 acres, Zheng Anping expanded to 500 acres, and the three of them added up to a full 1,200 acres, no matter what, Wuwang alone could not take care of it. Under Zhang Lu's staff, Mang Wei and Chen Si both wanted ripe fields, and they could only get 30% of the harvest and pay 10% of the land rent, but in fact there were only six buckets of millet per mu. Fortunately, the acres are vast, and one or two hundred stone of grain per year is enough to maintain the expenses of a family of five, and even if the two of them marry wives, there will only be two people for the time being. Only Zheng Anping expanded 200 acres of wasteland around the original field, which was strongly requested by Wuwang.
