Zhang Ren never imagined that he would have to farm.

They are not garrisoned in the fields, but as troops stationed on the front line of the confrontation with the Zhao army, their only mission is to fight.

"Less than ten miles away from our military camp, there is a newly built village where all the refugees are resettled." Lao Shichang said with a smile: "I had just been sent here, and when I saw that I was about to miss the spring plowing season, I panicked.

Found us."

"Are we still doing this for others?" Zhang Ren was extremely puzzled.

"When we were in Guangxi, we often did this!" Lao Shichang was not surprised at all: "In my spare time, I often went to help the surrounding farmers, fetch water for the lonely elderly, etc. These things are all

At that time, Mr. Xiao Xianggong on the Guizhou Road first advocated what the military and civilian fisheries and water conditions were like."

Zhang Ren didn't quite understand what the fishing and water conditions were like between the military and civilians, but he knew that in the past, Xiang troops were often hired by military officers to help their families cultivate their land.

The current situation is probably similar, except that instead of helping my own family, I am helping a group of farmers I have never met before.

The garrison has draft horses, mules, etc., which are all large animals that can go to the fields.

Before dawn, the chief led a group of them and several large animals and set off.

Like them, there are four others.

It seems that this time, a team from the entire war camp went out to help.

There is a plowshare, and now that we have big animals, it is considered adequate.

Lao Shi was the leader of the group, and he was very skilled at harnessing horses, tying mules, and installing plowshares.

Zhang Ren is in trouble, and he can't help by just staring.

Finally, the chief asked him to carry a hoe and dig out the corners that the plowshare could not plow.

Their land is almost fifty acres, and their task is to finish this work today and divide it into five pieces, that is, one piece of land has ten acres.

Zhou Hong was quite happy.

With the intention of giving it a try, he went to the military camp to ask for help.

This was due to the fact that when he was in Qiao County, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty he saw were quite friendly to the common people, and he also saw where there were soldiers who helped the common people carry water and things.

Each soldier has a white feather on his head.

And the soldiers near his home also had a white feather on their head.

This should belong to an army, and Zhou Hong thought he could give it a try.

Otherwise, this year's spring plowing will definitely be delayed, the seeds will not be planted in time, and there will not be enough harvest, and the villagers will go hungry again.

Whether they can properly resettle these refugees so that they can survive without relying on the government is the only indicator for leaders like them to be evaluated by the superiors.

As mentioned above, the first three sides can be promoted to ten li in length. If it is done well, it can be promoted to another liter. This liter can be regarded as a rank. Although it is only a ninth-rank official, but

That’s also an official!

This step can be regarded as a carp jumping over the dragon's gate.

He made the right bet.

I really didn't expect that the general who was darker than me was so easy to talk to. He sent out big animals and manpower without saying a word. Fifty people every day, every ten days, not only could the fields be finished, but also the surrounding areas could be planted.

The ditch should be dredged.

Not only did they come to help for free, they also brought their own dry food.

This made Zhou Hong feel very sorry.

He took out a fat piece of bacon, washed it, cooked several large pots of soup, and sent it to the soldiers.

Zhang Ren and a group of people sat around on the ground, gnawing on the hard pancakes brought by him, but with the broth sent by the village, the hard pancakes were also delicious.

Looking at the smiling faces of the villagers around him, Zhang Ren suddenly felt that he understood what the military and civilian fishing and water conditions were.

Under normal circumstances, ordinary people are very afraid of being soldiers.

And this is also his common sense.

Water can carry a boat, but can it also capsize it?

After all, he had read the book, and Zhang Ren suddenly understood the reason behind it.

Zhou Hong and Lao Shichang were chatting enthusiastically.

"This piece of land is public land!" Zhou Hong said: "I'm not going to grow food, I'm going to grow vegetables."

"Why grow vegetables?" Lao Shi said.

"Because you are here!" Zhou Hong said with a smile: "Vegetables grow quickly, and you can harvest a crop soon. What you garrison here are short of is not food or meat, but fresh vegetables."

.”

"Li just thought about it, this is really the truth!" Shi Chang laughed and said: "Nowadays, many of the dishes we eat every day are yellowish."

The two of them were chattering about how fast and long the vegetables were growing. Zhang Ren didn't understand. Anyway, they looked smart there.

A donkey ran over from the direction of the village. A man on the donkey waved from a distance, "Zhou Cunzheng, Zhou Cunzheng!"

Zhou Hong stood up and waved to the man.

As the donkey approached, a man who looked like a bookkeeper got off the donkey and said with a smile: "Zhou Cunzheng, I have prepared your loan agreement. Take a look. If there is no problem, we will sign and pledge it, and then you will get what you want."

I can give you the money."

Looking at the contract that the accountant took out, Zhou Hong felt a little confused. He was illiterate.

"I am also planning to find a literate person to help me read the appointment book, but I have been helping with spring plowing for the past two days, and the person has not been found yet!" Zhou Hong said in embarrassment: "You guys came too fast, can you delay for two days?

?”

"Zhou Cunzheng, I am responsible for the Qingmiao Loans of an entire county. If there is a delay, I will not be able to finish this job! These contracts are exactly the same, how can I trick you? Just sign your name and that's it."

"That won't work, I need to know what's written in it!" Zhou Hong's family is a small business owner, but he doesn't want to listen to the accountant.

The chief waved to Zhang Ren, "Zhou Cunzheng, don't panic, our little Zhang Xiucai is literate, let him help you take a look."

"Xiao Zhang Xiucai?" Zhou Hong and the accountant were both startled, "Why did Xiucai Gong come to serve as a soldier?"

Shi Chang laughed, patted his chest, and said proudly: "Well, your brother has a lot of talents, right?"

Zhang Shisan put the cake into his mouth and swallowed it, then strode over.

He guessed in his heart that this accountant must be trying to trick people. Such loan sharking is the most common among the people. Once you sign the contract, there is no time to pay it back.

For the sake of this pot of broth that tasted pretty good, he decided to help Muramasa, who was quite pleasing to the eye, and expose the conspiracy of the accountant who was smiling but was actually full of evil.

Rubbing the soup on his hands on his clothes, he took the appointment letter.

"You can take a look at it, Mr. Xiu Cai. This is the standard green crop loan contract established by the county. How can there be any problems? The articles of association in it have been personally reviewed by the chief minister!" the accountant muttered in a low voice.

United Bank has shares from the imperial court, and Qingmiao Loan is an important government policy of the imperial court. Who dares to mess around? People from above are keeping an eye on it.

The more Zhang Ren looked at it, the more shocked he became.

This damn loan shark isn't a loan shark. It's clearly just for giving money to people!

10% interest rate!

Is this a tempo to kill all private loan sharks?

It's over, it's over, there is one less way to bring money to the family.

My mother was in charge of the family's finances, and there was a lot of idle money in the family. She quietly let it go and got 40% of the interest. Because she was an official, she couldn't help herself, so she entrusted the money to a nearby temple.

Xiangjichu's, Xiangjichu gets 50% of the interest, gives 40% to itself, and they take 10% of the handling fee.

Once this green crop loan comes out, this business will naturally fail.

I'm afraid there will be another earthquake!

He has been sealed in the military camp for the past few months and knows nothing about the outside world. It seems that the outside world has been turned upside down again in the past few months. Zhang Ren is very aware of how big the conflict is involved here.

Xiao Erlang, you are so brave!

To be honest, Zhang Ren really admires Xiao Erlang now.

Dare to do anything!

Who else would he dare not offend?

Why is he so bold?

My mind was in a state of confusion. I turned my head and looked at my own war camp in the distance, and suddenly I felt a glimmer of understanding.

Look at the admiration these people have for the chief auxiliary, and think about who are the commanders and generals of the most capable troops in the country right now?

What is Xiao Shoufu afraid of?

If anyone really wants to anger him and force him into a corner, he will probably be thrown off, right?

The so-called Qingliu, the so-called Shilin, when they are attacked by swords and guns, just opening their mouths is useless!

The chief assistant's approach now is quite accommodating, right?

Unless all the warriors under Xiao Chieffu’s command collapsed!
