Chapter 895 Harvest
Daohua can still get news from the capital from time to time, but what she pays attention to are current affairs and major events. Things like the married life of Yan Yile and others are not within the scope of her concern.<
/p>
As August enters, Ganzhou Wei begins to get busy with the autumn harvest.
Daohua pays special attention to the first year's harvest. She personally supervises her subordinates to calculate the yield per mu and total harvest. She is extremely busy every day.
The five renovated terraces have now become the busiest place in Ganzhou Wei. The onlookers looked at the harvest of crops in the terraces, and their eyes were filled with hope.
Every year when the autumn harvest begins in Xiliang, people from Xiliao begin to come here to rob property.
However, this year, the Xiliao people, who have always been unfavorable, turned somersault.
Xiao Yeyang divided the 5,000 cavalry into five teams and patrolled back and forth every day. Any Xiliao people who were discovered crossing the border were killed directly on the spot, which not only ensured the stability of the Ganzhou Guard, but also trained the cavalry's combat capabilities.<
/p>
Every day, people in border towns can see cavalry galloping on horseback.
Some people were so excited that they shed tears and choked with sobs: "The troops at the guard station finally began to take the initiative to resist the Xiliao people." Instead of waiting for the Xiliao people to rob them all, they arrived belatedly.
Ganwei Town, the second important military town on Ganzhou's defense line, has been initially completed, but only the city wall continues to be built.
At noon, the soldiers who built the military town rushed to the canteen in the town in batches.
"Captain, it seems that dinner is about to begin. Let's go quickly. We're going to be late so we don't run out of food."
On the city wall, Wang Wu smiled and approached the leader who was guarding their group.
When the captain heard Wang Wu's words, he glared at him with an annoyed smile: "Boy, are you new here?"
Wang Wu nodded quickly and pointed to several tribesmen behind him: "We are all new recruits who have just been recruited. As soon as we were sent here today, we came to build the city wall."
The captain smiled and said: "Don't worry, the military camp will not run out of food for you. This is how we eat in batches here."
Wang Wu looked worried: "Then if we eat later, wouldn't we have to eat what others left?"
The captain was a good-tempered man and continued to smile and said: "Keep your heart in your stomach and you will definitely be full."
Seeing that the captain was a good talker, Wang Wu asked with a smile: "Captain, why do the superiors want to build a military town here?"
The captain said of course: "Of course it is to defend against the Xiliao people."
Wang Wu still wanted to ask, so the captain patted his butt and stood up: "Let's go, it's our team's turn to eat."
Wang Wu and his clansmen followed the captain and walked towards the cafeteria.
The canteen is built next to the training ground. It is quite large and equipped with tables and chairs, and can accommodate thousands of people eating at the same time.
After stepping into the cafeteria, Wang Wu looked at everything inside with a curious expression.
The captain saw it and smiled: "Mr. Xiao took pity on me that it is not easy to serve as a soldier. He specially ordered this canteen to be built and provided tables and chairs. Like before, we had a meal, but we could just find a place to squat down and eat.
of."
Looking at the soldiers sitting at the table eating, Wang Wu nodded: "Then Mr. Xiao really cherishes the soldiers."
The captain agreed with his face: "As soon as Mr. Xiao came, our frontier army's life began to get better. We used to go hungry, but now we can eat every meal."
At this time, several people had already arrived at the window where they were cooking. Wang Wu saw that the captain picked up a sea bowl from the bamboo basket and led his tribe to do the same.
Seeing the captain coming to an unoccupied window and handing over the bowl, Wang Wu also immediately handed his own bowl in.
Soon, a full bowl of food was handed out.
A few thick steamed buns and half a bowl of potato stew.
When the captain saw the potato stew, he was very happy: "You guys are lucky, you just happened to eat meat today. Let's go over there and sit and eat."
The captain led Wang Wu and others to an empty table and sat down, then turned to the side and brought a bowl of vegetable soup.
Wang Wu saw it and quickly followed suit.
"How's it going? Is the food in the military camp not bad?" The captain smiled and asked Wang Wu and the others who were immersed in eating.
Wang Wu stuffed his mouth with steamed buns and said vaguely: "It's not just good, it's simply great. I can't eat meat even once a year at home."
The captain smiled and drank the vegetable soup: "Our food is not the best."
Wang Wu stared: "Isn't this good?"
Captain: "The food in the cavalry camp is good. I heard that they have milk tea every day. Of course, they have a harder time than us. After August, they have to patrol every day. Once the Xiliao people are discovered, if the number is small, we will directly
If there are too many people killed, come back and report."
Wang Wu nodded: "This is good, lest the people from Xiliao attack their homes and we only receive the news here, so the rescue will not be timely."
Captain: "Isn't that right? In previous years, Ganzhou Guard's side was the most important place for the Xiliao people to snatch, but this year, I haven't seen a single Xiliao person."
"You guys, work hard in the army. We can eat meat here every seven days, which is no worse than making a living elsewhere."
Someone nearby knew the captain and pulled him over to eat. Only Wang Wu and a few members of the Wang clan were left at the dinner table.
"Brother Wu, we really came to the right place to join the army." Needless to say, we have enough food to eat.
Seeing the tribesmen who were happy to eat meat, Wang Wu felt a little worried.
They came to join the army. In addition to wanting to kill people from Xiliao, they also wanted to help Mr. Xiao explore the abilities of Mr. Xiao. They thought they could pass news to Mr. after coming to the military camp, but they did not expect that the military camp was so strictly controlled.
p>
Wang Wu scratched his head, how should he deliver the message to his husband?
......
Ganzhou Guard Command and Envoy Department.
As the five thousand-household stations successively delivered this year's military rations, all the warehouses in the guard station were filled with food.
All the officials were excited about this.
Fan Tong sighed to Xia Jianren: "I have been coming to Ganzhou Wei for more than 20 years, and this is the first time I have seen the warehouse full."
Xia Jianren was silent and didn't speak. He was also shocked.
He actually didn't pay much attention to the issue of high-yielding grain crops. In his opinion, no matter how high-yielding the grain was, the land in Xiliang was so barren that if it could be harvested more, how much more would it be possible to harvest?
p>
He really didn't expect that corn and potatoes would be so productive. They were not only drought tolerant, but also not picky about the land.
Xia Jianren looked at Fan Tong and said in a low voice: "Brother Fan, we have to tell Mr. Wei about this."
Hearing this, Fan Tong hesitated: "Isn't it good? Mr. Xiao brought the grain, and he was the one who said it."
Xia Jianren frowned: "Brother Fan, Mr. Wei is very kind to you, why are you not even willing to do this?"
Fan Tong showed displeasure: "Old Xia, I don't like hearing what you are saying. If I were in charge of the Ganzhou Guard, I would naturally report it to Mr. Wei, but I am not in charge now.
I don’t want to be the one who snitches behind my back." After saying that, he turned around and left.
Seeing this, Xia Jianren was so angry that he turned back to his office room and wrote a letter to Wei Hongcai, reporting the good harvest of Ganzhou Wei this year.
That afternoon, Xia Jianren's letter appeared on Xiao Yeyang's desk.
Xiao Yeyang looked at the letter and sneered: "Eat it inside and out."
Defu stood aside and shook his head. Mr. Xia was really stupid. He took the initiative to send the evidence to his master. With this letter, his master would be able to accuse him of leaking secrets in the future.
In fact, there was no need for Xia Jianren to write a letter to inform him, just by word of mouth among the people, the good harvest in Ganzhou Wei could not be hidden.
......
After Jin Weiwei and Zhu Jianzhong sent away the Jianzhou Guard commander who came to inquire about the news with a smile, they turned around and went to the warehouse. Looking at the high-yield grains stored in the warehouse, they felt particularly at ease and satisfied.
Next year, Jinweiwei will also have a good harvest.
The commander of Jianzhou Guard found out that Ganzhou Guard had indeed had a good harvest, so he immediately went to Liangdu and told Wei Hongcai the news.
The next day, Wei Hongcai's letter asking for grain seeds appeared in front of Xiao Yeyang.
Xiao Yeyang smiled at the rice flowers and said: "If I didn't have the support of the emperor's uncle behind me, I might not be able to protect the high-yielding grain crops." As he said this, he wrote to reject Wei Hongcai.
Daohua looked on and reminded: "Write it more tactfully. Just say that there are not many high-yielding grain varieties, so we have to focus on Ganzhou Wei first."
Xiao Yeyang nodded: "Don't worry, I know it in my heart. Now is not the time to confront the Wei family." After saying that, he paused and said, "By the way, those who come to the Four Seasons Grain Store to buy grain seeds in the future should be the best.
We also need to show Ganzhou Wei’s household registration.”
Daohua looked hesitant: "Is this necessary? The grain store has a limited purchase policy. Even if people from other health centers come to buy, they can't buy much. On the contrary, they can buy grain seeds and plant them, and they can help
We spread the word."
