Outside the Yingyang Pavilion, ditches stretch straight into the distance.

There is still some residual snow in the canal, but when the day is getting warmer, it will not take two or three days for the residual snow to melt away.

Not far away, in the Yingshui, the spring water is flowing.

There are already boats moving on the river.

The fisherman spreads his net and catches the fish and shrimp seemingly in vain, even if they are only an inch long. Occasionally, when a big fish is caught in the net, it laughs heartily.

The big fish will not eat themselves, but will be sold in the market and come back in exchange for a little food, which will make them hungrier than eating fish.

There were a few children on the bank of the river, looking for the withered yellow artemisia grass, intending to cut a little back and feed the donkeys and sheep that were waiting to be fed.

In the green and yellow season, not only people are hungry, but also domestic animals are hungry.

Spring sowing is already being carried out in the field.

Natural disasters have adjusted the pace of farming for all, bringing it to the same level. This year's land of Henan is full of the grand scene of "planting a grain of millet in spring".

"I used to feel that farming was hard, but now I find that I can have a opportunity to farm with peace of mind." In the ridges, Meng Chou, the head of the Yingyang Tuntian Army, laughed at himself.

Meng Chou is not ugly, on the contrary, he is a little handsome, he was captured in the Battle of Yemagang, and later he has been farming in Guangchengze, serving as a forced servant of the official Lutian - yes, Meng Chou is one of the benefits of the officials.

Xu did a good job, Xu caught up with the favorable opportunity for the great expansion of the Shaw Clan's military and political group, and Meng Chou, as the third batch of Tuntian soldiers to Yingyang, gained freedom—limited freedom.

The Yingyang Tuntian Army has expanded to more than 1,800 households and more than 2,400 people, cultivating nearly 290 hectares of farmland.

They are called "soldiers", but in fact they are "people", who spend most of the year farming, not training.

In fact, the enemy is about the same as them.

Shi Le and Wang Mi often had tens of thousands of soldiers—it is rumored that Shi Le prepared 80,000 or 90,000 infantry last year, but in the end did not cross the river to the south—in fact, they were all just peasants and soldiers.

Full-time professional soldiers are very rare everywhere, and they are the top of the hearts of the leaders of various forces.

"In May, Shi Le hit Changshe and Yanling, Lao Tzu was scared to death, thinking that he was going to go into battle and sell his life, but fortunately he was withdrawn by locusts." Wu Chang Zhou Chun grinned, laughed, and said, "In October, Wang Sang was only one step away from the Changshe, and he almost scared me to death. ”

The crowd laughed and laughed.

Without two heads, who is not afraid of death? Before everyone followed Wang Mi, Ji Sang, and Shi Le to raise troops, they were all Tian Shefu, who was afraid of death when they looked at the bandits, how could they become fearless of life and death because they had been soldiers for a year or two.

Hearing the laughter here, some people raised their heads and looked at this side in the large farmland across a post road not far away.

This is already the junction of the Yingyang Tuntian Army and the Xun Zhuangtian, one side of the road belongs to the Tuntian Army, and the other side belongs to the Xun family.

The Xun family guests were a little envious of the Tuntian army.

For no other reason, the Tuntian army can eat seven points full.

If the weather goes well this year, they can even save a surplus.

That's the difference.

Moreover, the Xun family didn't dare to provoke these Tuntian troops.

There is a Zhuang Ke who marries his daughter to a Tuntian sergeant, and the Xun family wardens know about it, and there is no way - theoretically speaking, Zhuang Ke is not a slave and can marry freely, but in fact, it can only be said that it is mainly based on internal marriage.

These Tuntian troops are simply transcendent existences in Yingyin County, and no one can do anything to them.

Even, they seem to be responsible for surveillance, which makes no one dare to touch them, because it is not clear, what if someone plants a hat that betrays Chen Hou?

A group of people came from afar on the post road.

No, a dozen people with more than a hundred donkeys to be exact.

"Yang Cheng, are you going to Runan to enter the donkey again?" Meng Chou, who was sowing millet grains, heard the movement, straightened his waist, and asked.

"This is the official of Runan to give to Chen Hou." Yang Cheng said with a smile: "You still have to practice, you can't catch up." ”

Meng Chou sighed and stopped talking.

There are many mountains and big rivers in Runan, and there are many donkeys, and the meat is fat, and it is famous far and wide.

However, donkeys have a big role, and it's a waste to just eat meat.

Donkeys can plough the land, pull carts, carry goods, and carry people......

If you can raise a donkey in your family, you don't know how much worry you need to do farm work, especially when you cultivate the land.

The Yingyang Tuntian army is no more than 100 ploughing cattle, which is far from enough.

Guang Chengze even sent dozens of old horses over and let them try their hand at horse farming.

In addition to horses, dozens of donkeys and mules were also collected, but they were still not enough.

After the news of the shortage of draft animals and farm tools in the various Tuntian armies was reported, the Hou Mansion has been trying to find a way to solve it.

Before the Chinese New Year, Hao Chang, the captain of Tuntian, personally went to Runan to transport the livestock "collected" by local county officials back to Yingyang, and Yang Cheng and his gang were among them.

More than 100 little donkeys, although they still need to spend grain and forage to feed, but they are also easy to train, so that donkeys are used to hard work from an early age - it is not so easy to practice when they are older.

"It's really getting better day by day." Meng Chou smiled and greeted Ben Shierlang: "The prince will go to Runan to find a donkey for me, and it will be much easier to work in the future, and if you work hard, you can marry your mother-in-law." ”

As soon as the word "mother-in-law" came out, everyone's spirits were greatly boosted, and their hands and feet were much faster.

Meng Chou laughed, and the dogs thought about it.

But then again, that's what he's thinking.

Well, as soon as I remembered the woman, there were more than a dozen cars in the distance. Nearby, one of the cars lifted the curtain, revealing a woman's figure.

On both sides of the convoy there were horsemen leading horses on foot, which were numerous and mighty.

"Mingguang Armor!" Meng Chou hurriedly retracted his gaze and bent over to work.

Many years ago, Chen Hou led people to plunder the Xuchang arsenal and robbed a lot of Mingguang armor.

In addition to being used as a reward, most of this armor was given to his own soldiers. When he saw the formed troops wearing Mingguang armor, he knew that Chen Hou was nearby.

Sure enough, after a while, a horse galloped from behind, walked to the carriage of Fang Cai, and said: "This is Yingyang Pavilion, if the princess wants to get off the car and rest, she can go to the front Cangcheng to rest." ”

There was a sound from inside the car, and the carriage slowly stopped.

Concubine Pei got out of the carriage lightly, looking at the vertical and horizontal fields, the ditches extending in all directions, and a tall earthen city, she was a little surprised: "I came to Luoyang nine years ago, and I stayed overnight in Yingyang Pavilion, but there was no such city at that time." ”

"It's just a small dirt city, no trouble." Shao Xun followed behind Concubine Pei and said softly: "Yingyang Cangcheng can garrison 3,000 soldiers, 300,000 grains and 100,000 bundles of hay. ”

"Is this still a small town?" Concubine Pei glanced at him, as if she was disgusted, and then continued to look at the city and asked, "What is the existing grain and grass in the city?" ”

"There are about 50,000 grains and beans."

"Not enough for a few people."

"Yes." Shao Xun said: "Before August this year, there was probably a shortage of food. ”

"How many other warehouses do you have?"

"Yuzhou has built this one, and there are two ready-made ones, Ningping City and Xinzheng, and there may be Guancheng in the middle of the year."

Concubine Pei nodded lightly, and then looked at the hot spring sowing scene, rejoicing in her heart.

This is his inheritance, the inheritance he has single-handedly built.

"This is all our inheritance......" Shao Xun took two steps forward and whispered.

"You can talk to Yu Wenjun about this." Concubine Pei's face flushed slightly, and she walked along the post road.

Shao Xun followed behind, introducing his plans that only existed on "PPT".

Concubine Pei listened very carefully, and replied a few words from time to time, which could also make up for Shao Xun and make the plan more perfect.

"Finally gone!" Meng Chou glanced at the convoy that was gradually moving away, and he didn't know what it was like.

The noble lady walked gracefully and held her head high.

When he stopped to talk to Chen Hou, he was generous and elegant.

When his eyes swept over, he was calm and confident, without the slightest hint of timidity, suspicion or weakness, and Meng Chou could even feel a hint of scrutiny.

This woman is always in charge! Meng Chou came to a conclusion in an instant.

Back then, when he was crisscrossing Hebei, he had seen a few such women, but they were not as powerful as the one in front of him.

Such a woman can only be controlled by Chen Hou, right?

If nothing else, this woman's gaze is very scary, as if she can dig out the secret of your heart, who can stand it.

Meng Chou finally found the major "shortcomings" of this woman, and felt a lot more comfortable: the woman was too solemn and majestic, and it was very boring.

After the convoy passed, a large group of people came.

Meng Chou glanced at it, it turned out to be the Silver Spear Army, and then he was a little gloating: the Silver Spear Sergeant, who was used to being the uncle, actually divided half of them to pull carts and horses, and did the work of auxiliary soldiers.

Now is the season of busy farming and spring sowing, and it is impossible for the two squires of the Hou Mansion to issue an order to levy the Tuntian Army and even the county and township Ding Zhuang as auxiliaries, so they can only let the Silver Spear Army do it themselves.

However, in addition to gloating, Meng Chou was also a little envious.

What kind of life do people live? What kind of life are you living? It's not good to compare, it's really not good to compare.

The Xunjiazhuang guests on the other side of the post road also peeked at the silver spear army passing by.

This majestic army passed through Yingyang Pavilion several times last year, and this year it is here again.

The more they come, the more honest they become.

Yes, not all bankers are honest people.

It is not uncommon to rob outsiders during the slack period.

Otherwise, where would the widespread phenomenon of displaced people being invaded by residents in the states come from?

Strictly speaking, the Tuntian army of Yingyang Pavilion were all outsiders, but they didn't dare to do anything to them.

After a year of getting along, there was even a matter of getting married.

In the final analysis, it is because someone's prestige in Yingchuan is getting deeper and deeper.
