Chapter 286 Farming

After a long drought, once the rain comes, even if the soil is fertile, the recovery process will be very painful.
But it's also enjoyable.
The cracked earth and thirsty cracks are waiting for the belated rain, and after filling it up, everything reveals vitality.
The third year of Yongjia was a year of severe drought, as everyone knows.
The word "death penalty" was the word that Queen Hui Yang Xianrong muttered most when she was lost in thought last night.
Chen Hou Shaoxun did commit many crimes.
One is the crime of "disobedience".
The Queen said "No more" and Chen Hou disobeyed the order and should be beheaded.
The second is the crime of "being preoccupied".
Without a formal report, he acted arbitrarily and asked the queen to change her posture and be exempted from official duties.
The third is the crime of "going out of line".
The dynasty established a limited system, so that the leader should keep the rules and not dare to think outside the established system. If Chen Hou demands too much, he should be punished with a salary.
The fourth is the crime of "transgression".
Holding the queen in one's arms, sleeping on a dragon bed at night, and sleeping with one's neck crossed, this is transgression and belongs to the three barbarian tribes.
There are too many crimes like this to list them all.
Sadly, Queen Hui Yangshi not only did not report the crime, but instead snuggled into Chen Hou's arms and discussed the name of the child with a happy face.
"You did too much." After Yang Xianrong stood up, he felt a little cold between his legs and complained immediately.
"I have received great kindness from the Queen, and I can only repay you with sincerity." Shao Xun said righteously.
"Can you speak properly?" Yang Xianrong glared and said, "Just use the same tone you used when you kissed me last night."
"I don't know how long it will take before I see Changqiu. It's very difficult to miss me at night." Shao Xun changed his tone as expected.
"Changqiu" is Yang Xianrong's nickname, firstly because she was born in autumn, and secondly because it was a compliment, hoping that she would live a long life.
Only then did Yang Xianrong smile with satisfaction and said, "I'll let you have a taste of me and leave me in Guangcheng Palace, where I won't be able to see you more than once a year."
Shao Xun didn't dare to answer, he was afraid that he would throw you into Guangcheng Palace next time.
Forget about the princess, he really doesn't dare to take the queen home, at least not now. Yang Xianrong must continue to live here until the time is right.
But he didn't dare to say this to his face, because he wasn't sure what Yang Xianrong would do. What if she offended her and came to her with a big belly, causing uproar in the city?
She still had to coax her, until she felt dizzy and unable to think normally.
As for breaking off the relationship and pretending that nothing had happened, Shao Xun still couldn't do it, let alone let it go.
There are endless ways in the world, including the way of nature, the way of managing the world, the way of clan, the way of walking, etc. The Queen's way is unique and has endless flavor, which makes him nostalgic, so it is called the way of the country.
He overturned the car too easily on the national highway, but he never tired of it.
"I'm going to wash up in the soup pool." Facing the sunshine outside, Yang Xianrong gently pulled up her hair, revealing her infinitely beautiful body.
The sun was shining down, and the sunlight reflected on the white jade beauty was a bit dazzling, except for the exquisite dice, which was deeply in love.
Shao Xun was paralyzed on the couch, as if he had been hit hard by a wooden beam.
After a long time, he got up, put on his clothes, and then went to the kitchen to do some busy work.
When Yang Xianrong came back from the hot springs with a bright red face, she was a little surprised to see Shao Xun preparing japonica rice porridge for her.
"I found some japonica rice in the kitchen." Shao Xun said: "This thing feels the harmony of heaven and earth, and contributes to fertility with creation. It is the growth of grains, and people depend on each other for survival. It is best to use it to make porridge.
Come on, eat quickly."
"Is it really so magical?" Yang Xianrong was happy, but still asked.
Shao Xun nodded and said: "Japonica rice is specially responsible for the Qi of the spleen and stomach, and nourishes the sea of ​​water and grains. When the grain Qi is strong, the five internal organs are angry, the blood vessels all over the body are smoothed, the bones and muscles are enriched, and the fur of the limbs is strong. It is the best food for nourishing the spleen and stomach. It is the best food for nourishing the spleen and stomach.
As the saying goes, if righteousness is present within the body, evil will not be affected; if it is strong the day after tomorrow, the body will be healthy and healthy."
Yang Xianrong was persuaded and sat down to eat porridge.
Today's porridge is indeed much more delicious than usual, and I feel filled with overflowing happiness.
These days, some maverick scholars do know how to cook, but not many of them specialize in cooking for women. It is even more impossible to become a dominant overlord. Yang Xianrong feels that he has found a treasure.
She even wanted to monopolize Shao Xun.
After last night, she became more and more intolerable when Shao Xun and other women were having sex with each other. If it was Song Yi, she could barely accept it, but Le Lanji and others couldn't...
But now she has learned well, and she will not bring it up directly, because it will probably be fruitless.
After eating, she asked: "When will we go to Chen County?"
"Silver Spear Army recruits will go as soon as they are recruited."
"Going with a large army? Are you going to fight again?"
"It's inevitable."
"Is it Da Shi Le?"
Shao Xun nodded, then shook his head.
He knew very well that Yang Xianrong was different from Le Lanji and Lu Xun. It was not that the latter two did not understand politics. In fact, they came from a big family and it was impossible for them to understand it at all, but it was true that they did not care much about it.
The appearance of the sheep is different.
She is quite talented in political management. What is rare is that she is also very interested in it.
The Duo farmland under her name has been opened up to more than 200 hectares, and is cultivated by more than a thousand households of refugees from Hanoi and Henan counties, and is managed in an orderly manner.
If you can rationally employ people and manage more than a thousand households, you can then try to manage thousands or even tens of thousands of households.
The most important thing in world affairs is to use people to govern the people.
Don't treat her like a stupid woman.
Although she can be silly sometimes, it's just because she wants to be silly.
"It doesn't have to be Da Shi Le." Shao Xun said, "It could also be someone else."
Shi Le seems to have no intention of establishing a foothold in Henan. He is still more interested in Hebei.
However, judging from the current situation, Liu Yuan still has certain restrictions on foreign brands.
The governor of Jizhou he appointed was Shi Chao, who was relatively weak, with no more than 10,000 soldiers, instead of Shi Le, who claimed to have 100,000 infantry and cavalry men.
Although Wang Mi was defeated repeatedly in battles, his honor and favor never faded.
The Xiongnu not only gave him the captured former Bingzhou officers and soldiers and the Luoyang Forbidden Army to train his troops, but also gave him a lot of captured equipment, which can be said to be very interesting.
The reason for this is nothing more than the word balance.
The four generals Wang Mi, Wang Sang, Zhao Gu, and Shi Chao are all mainly infantry, but Shi Le has both infantry and cavalry, and his strength is far greater than the other four. It is impossible not to check and balance.
As far as Shi Le's heart is concerned, he would definitely prefer to develop in Hebei. Therefore, even if the Liu Han court orders him to go south, it may not last long. Most of the time, he will steal the chicken and run back to Hebei. It is not that easy to catch him.
thing.
"Don't cause too much trouble, it will be bad for your reputation." After Yang Xianrong heard that he was not necessarily dealing with Shi Le, he guessed that Shao Xun was probably going to Yuzhou to show off his power, and immediately reminded him.
"Changqiu is really a good wife." Shao Xun said with emotion.
"Then you won't marry me?" Yang Xianrong rolled his eyes at him and said, "I don't know who was so impatient last night that he didn't even care about the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers, so he just knew how to make trouble."
Shao Xun laughed and did not answer her directly.
Don’t take it seriously when the sheep is presented. The days ahead are long, so don’t be in a hurry.
****
On the twenty-third of the first lunar month, Shao Xun went to the camp in Guangchengze and distributed rewards to the campers: two biscuits per person.
The soldiers from Qing, Xu, Yan, Henan, Hebei and other prefectures were greatly surprised and cheered.
Subsequently, Chu Hui, a big farmer in charge of farming affairs, announced that more than a thousand people from the camps in Guangchengze would be selected to join the Luyang farming army, bringing the latter's size to about 7,000.
Their names are both called Tuntian Army, but they are quite different inside.
The Luyang field army grew and harvested their own crops and made a living by themselves. Not only did the Marquis government not ask them for food, but on the contrary, they would subsidize them a little to support their training expenses.
This unit is the "shared auxiliary force" of the Silver Spear Army and the Yamen Army. Sometimes it even has to serve as a helper for the cavalry attached to the imperial court, serving them meals and rest.
They are an integral part of the Shaw military and political group and are indispensable.
This unit is also a dominant force in Luyang County.
There were quite a few conflicts between the local natives and outsiders like them. After all, there were only so many land resources. However, because of the strength of the Shaw Group and the cohesion of the Luyang Army, they were able to keep things under control.
Over time, the people of Luyang reluctantly accepted their existence.
Among the more than 1,800 famous soldiers of Luyang's field army who were married and had families, almost half of them married local women in Luyang, and the other half married the families of refugees from the south.
Since the field army is named "Army", it is naturally controlled by military law.
The garrison soldiers farmed and trained near the garrison, and their families settled next to the military camp. If they needed to move, men, women, old and young would move together, which is a bit like the foreign garrison sergeants in the Tang and Song Dynasties - the family members of the army settled next to the garrison, farmed, and moved to other places.
At that time, the land was taken back by the court, and new land was distributed to the family members when they arrived at the new settlement.
The land cultivated by the Luyang field army was not given away for free.
Part of it came from land reclamation, and part of it was taken from the hands of local powerful people and scholars.
In troubled times, there is no gentleness and frugality, only naked violence.
The soldiers in various camps in Guangchengze knew about the existence of the Luyang Army. In fact, this was their best way out, and they couldn't care less.
Those who can be selected into the Luyang Tuntian Army are considered to be out of the sea of ​​suffering and their lives are on the right track.
Cheering is a must.
"Have all the campers been through enough?" Shao Xun asked, looking at Le Kuan, Yu Liang, the Jing brothers and others who were following him.
"I don't have the spirit to resist anymore." Le Kuan replied: "After a few years of hard work, those who dared to resist are basically dead. Last year there was a drought and more people died. Now everyone knows to work honestly and be selected as an assistant as soon as possible.
Soldier."
Shao Xun looked at Yu Liang.
Yu Liang understood and knew that his sister-in-law wanted to inspect him, so he said: "There are six camps in Guangchengze, and there are still more than 34,000 people. I thought that they could be broken up and reorganized, so they would not be able to resist.
.”
"That's right, let's do it like this." Shao Xun nodded in agreement, and then said: "You can put down what you are doing and come with me to Chen County."
"No." Yu Liang agreed without saying much.
Shao Xun looked at him again.
My eldest uncle said that the campers were worn out, so as the warden, how could he be the same?
Managing prisoners is the best way to temper your character. After this experience, Yu Liang should not be too impatient. Next, he can exercise his abilities in other aspects.
"Hao Chang will mobilize 2,000 troops who have not yet formed families to go north. On the Guangchengze side, we will mobilize another 1,000 troops to follow me eastward." Shao Xun ordered: "The remaining 32,000 people,
Reorganized into the sixth battalion and continued to work in the fields."
"No." Chu Hui and others responded in unison.
This time heading east, the Silver Spear Army will take all 6,000 men from buildings one to ten.
The Yi Congjun originally numbered several hundred people, but this time they added some Xiongnu prisoners. They already have 500 infantry and more than 300 cavalry, and they will follow.
There are only 3,000 auxiliary troops to serve the six to seven thousand soldiers, which is a bit small. But marching on the inside is not so particular. When we reach Yingchuan, the number of auxiliary troops will increase...
