After receiving the news, Guo Dajing took the time to pay a visit and told the Fujinos and his daughter the specific arrangements so that they could understand and prepare.
"It's not appropriate to make a big deal at this time." Fujino Masaru was very generous about this. He smiled and patted Guo Dajing's arm and said, "You can just discuss it with Aying. I want to save worry. No matter what.
Already."
Guo Dajing sent Fujinomasa to the door, returned to the room, sat in a chair, stretched his neck, and said, "I'm so busy. It's more tiring than fighting."
Fujino Hide walked over, squeezed Guo Dajing's shoulders, and said softly: "Shuai Mao and Deputy Shuai Chen are the matchmakers for their marriage. This is an unexpected compliment. I have nothing to choose from, so I will just do as you say!"
Guo Dajing gently stroked the girl's hand and said with a teasing smile: "It's better to keep it simple so that you don't have to frustrate the person into the bridal chamber, right?"
Fujino Hide was not as shy as Axiu. He giggled and leaned forward, and kissed Guo Dajing in return.
This was an unacceptable loss, so Guo Dajing used his strength to pull Fujino Hide into his arms, and kissed the girl several times on her face and mouth.
Fujino Hide snuggled into Guo Dajing's arms obediently. It had been a long time since he had been this close. From now on, there would be no obstacles or scruples, and we could be together openly.
"Axiu has been told by someone. I'll tell you where to stay." Guo Dajing pinched and touched the girl's body with dishonest hands and asked, "What about you, what do you think?"
Fujino Hide felt itchy after being touched, and was a little shy, but his heart felt beautiful, and he said softly: "I will listen to you too."
Guo Dajing nodded lightly and said: "Jinzhou is now divided into two major areas, namely Lushunkou and Sanshanhaikou. The main force will be fortified at Nanguan, and Sanshanhaikou is closer."
Dalian City was developed very early. In the early Han Dynasty, Yaoshi County (today's Dalian, Lushun and Jinzhou areas) was one of the eighteen counties under the jurisdiction of Liaodong County. In the early Tang Dynasty, it was called "Sanshanpu". In the middle of the Tang Dynasty, it was renamed "Qingshanpu".
Nipu".
Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it has been called "Qingniwa", while Haikou is called "Qingnihai", and some still call it "Sanshan Haikou" or "Jinzhou Haikou".
"Then it's at Sanshanhaikou. It's convenient for you to go home to visit and rest." Fujino Hide said what he was thinking without even thinking about it.
Ludajin should be divided into these three regions in later generations, but now it can only be divided into two regions.
Lushunkou District is the rear area, close to the port, and there are not many troops stationed; Sanshan Haikou District is mostly composed of military family members, and the people also need to arrange for reliable old Liao people.
Similarly, with Guo Dajing's caution, he would not fail to consider the escape route. A port would also be opened in Sanshan Haikou District, that is, in Dalian Bay, which would later become Dalian Port.
Controlling Dalian Bay through the navy not only avoids the danger of being surrounded by Jianlu on the east side of the Nanguan defense line, but also the possibility of plagiarizing Jianlu's back route again.
As long as the Jianlu dared to penetrate deep into the narrow southern end of the Liaodong Peninsula, they would have to worry about the Dongjiang Army's maritime plagiarism.
Moreover, the uninhabited areas of Fuzhou and Gaizhou were originally designed to prevent Dongjiang troops from landing and attacking, but now they also increased the difficulty for Jianlu to go south to attack Jinzhou.
Similar to the idea and plan when he regained Jinzhou, after the construction of the Nanguan defense line was completed and the repairs of Beisha City were completed, Guo Dajing really hoped that Jianlu could attack again.
At a stage when you are not yet ready to fight with Jianlu in the field, it is a smart and effective combat strategy to rely on strong defense and then wait for opportunities to counterattack.
Use your own strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses. Every victory is an encouragement to the morale of the army. It will bring psychological strengthening to the Dongjiang Army and lay the foundation for the next stage of field warfare.
Moreover, the most likely time for Jianlu to attack would be in late autumn, and the best time would be in winter when the rivers are frozen.
And by that time, the Jinzhou defenders will have upgraded their weapons and equipment, and will deal a heavy blow to the invading rebels.
A Xiu married her husband and followed her husband, and Fujino Hide also wanted to be as close to her husband as possible, and the more time they got together, the happier they would be.
"Sanshan Haikou will be a seaside town with beautiful scenery. I am used to living on the island and will have a similar feeling there. I can adapt quickly."
"In addition to building a town, there is also a workshop area. I can also provide some guidance nearby to make it easier to build some new equipment."
Guo Dajing narrated the story eloquently, his dirty hands wandering among the grooves on the girl's body, the two of them were very close to each other, their breaths blended together, and they were both a little emotional.
"Miss, miss--" A sudden call interrupted the intimacy between the two and extinguished their affection.
Hide Fujino jumped up from Guo Dajing's arms like a frightened rabbit, and hurriedly straightened his clothes. His face was still crimson, but he pretended to be calm, and asked Aqiao who ran in: "What's the matter with the yelling?"
Decency?"
Ah Qiao hurriedly lowered her head and reported: "Miss, a lot of people are here, carrying tables, chairs and boxes and cages. The leader is Mrs. Li, the wife of Mr. Li Weiluan."
Guo Dajing coughed dryly, stood up, and said to Fujino Hide: "I'm here to prepare for the wedding the day after tomorrow. You go and welcome the guests!"
The only people living in Lushun Fort were Li Weiluan, Shang Keyi and other officers' family members. Knowing that Guo Dajing was getting married, they asked the female family members to come to help.
Guo Dajing accepted this love and will definitely be rewarded in the future. He did not give any special notice, and even Liu Xingzuo and Liu Qishi did not know. They are temporarily stationed in Jinzhou Acropolis for training, and they are in coordination with Bisha City.
After getting married, it's just a matter of sending two jars of wedding wine. It's not a big deal at all. If you notify one person, the others will know about it. It's not good if you don't come, because it's not a close journey, and it will delay military affairs.
In addition to Ah Qiao, Fujino Hide also brought several female medical staff to help her with her work. It was not too tedious and tiring, and it did not seem deserted.
While there was no one around, Guo Dajing put some more things in the house, such as pieces of silk and satin, and then left the house and went back to business.
Most of Jinzhou, from top to bottom, is busy and busy. Whether it is the senior officials or the soldiers and civilians at the bottom, they are all getting familiar with the work.
The planting of new crops, the new distribution system, and the military tickets that will be issued to the hands are all unfamiliar to the common people, but they are all exciting and joyful, and full of longing and hope.
"I want millet, cabbage, radish, eggplant seeds..."
"I want milfoil, radish, beans, sesame seeds..."
"I want Japanese melon, cabbage, spinach, peanut seeds..."
Inside the village hall, there was a lot of noise as people received the seeds one by one and left happily.
The potatoes, rye, and corn that were forced to be planted by the government have been basically completed. The remaining land, as well as the corners, courtyards, slopes and depressions that you have reclaimed, are your own decisions. You can plant whatever you want.
As for alfalfa, beans and other fodder related to raising horses, they are grown in the fields of military camps and have little relevance to the common people.
Purchased from Shandong, with the help of the Lin family, the seeds of various crops and vegetables are quite complete, but one family is limited to four types.
In the first year, it was mainly about stability and insurance. People mainly focused on eating, and basically chose grains and vegetables, which they were relatively familiar with and confident about planting.
Ramie is suitable for cultivation in the Northeast and can also be used to weave ropes and clothes. However, the fiber is not as good as ramie, and the quality of linen is not much worse. However, for ordinary people who do not have high requirements, it is still good to wear as summer clothes.
Shen Dalong returned home happily and immediately started working in the courtyard. The place was not big, but the people were not willing to waste the land, even if it was only as big as a kang head, they had to make use of it.
"You don't need to do this little work." His wife wiped her hands and walked out, snatching the small hoe from Shen Dalong's hand.
Shen Dalong chuckled, handed the seeds to his wife, and said: "These are beans and spinach. Plant some in the yard for easy eating. I will go to the field in the afternoon and plant Japanese melons and radishes."
The wife agreed with a smile and skillfully dug holes to sow seeds.
Shen Dalong couldn't stand still. He walked in the yard with his prosthetic legs, took some branches and wood, and finished all the fences in the yard.
"In the village office, I heard that more preferential treatment policies will be given to retired soldiers and their families." Shen Dalong was talking to his wife while working, "At least, there is no problem in having a full stomach."
The wife said: "It's good to catch up on the love. If the weather is good, we shouldn't have to worry about food and drink after the autumn harvest."
The land for retired soldiers and military dependents is tax-free. This year, it is tentatively set at five acres per person, and it may increase next year. The amount of land collected is entirely up to them.
According to the yield of potatoes and rye, Shen Dalong's family has a harvest of twenty acres, which is indeed enough for the whole family.
"If the output is really as high as others say, then it will definitely be eaten by people who can't eat it." Shen Dalong still had some doubts and was not so sure.
The wife was more confident and said with a smile: "It's true. I heard from Zhao's sister-in-law that when she was harvesting potatoes in Ludao, she saw with her own eyes that more than three thousand kilograms were harvested per acre!"
"More than three thousand kilograms?" Shen Dalong scratched his head, feeling that the cellar he was going to dig was a bit too small, and he had to dig it quite big to hold so many potatoes.
At this moment, someone called Shen Dalong's name and walked over from a distance.
He is the new village chief. There are only two or three people in the village who are literate, and he is the one with the highest level.
"Village Chief, do you have a problem with me?" Shen Dalong hurriedly greeted him and asked the village chief to go into the courtyard, "Go in and have a bowl of water!"
The village chief waved his hand and said: "The above has introduced a policy of preferential treatment for disabled soldiers. Each village will soon set up a supply and marketing station, which will sell some food and daily groceries. We will first arrange for the military families. Your Xingzi
Can you read and calculate accounts?"
The issuance of military stamps requires some supporting measures, the most important of which is to provide a place for the people to spend their money. Setting up a supply and marketing station in each village is one of them.
Food is the most important commodity, and it also allows the common people to adapt to military support.
If we don't distribute food, we just let the people buy it with military coupons. This may seem unnecessary, but in the long run, it is necessary to establish the credibility of military coupons in the hearts of the people.
In the future, the types of commodities at supply and marketing stations will gradually increase. Salt, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, tea, wine, etc. will gradually enter the consumption area of the people.
In fact, making money is not the main purpose. In the first year, ordinary people did not have much spending power.
However, a market must be provided for the use of military coupons, whether it is an official supply and marketing station or private market trade, so that military coupons can be recognized by the common people and become a generally accepted currency.
The so-called credit currency, after it is recognized and circulated, does not require much deposit. To put it bluntly, paper is money, which is of extremely great significance to the future development of Dongjiang Town.
"I'm given half a bushel of rice every month!" The village chief added with a smile: "Just sitting there selling goods, I don't have anything to do every day, it's quite leisurely."
Shen Dalong looked at his wife and found that her eyes were full of enthusiasm, but she lowered her head with some humiliation.
With a helpless smile, Shen Dalong said: "Xingzi knows how to settle accounts, but doesn't know a few words. Village chief, I appreciate your kindness."
The village chief nodded. He also knew that Xingzi was illiterate, but he was just fulfilling his duties and notifying everyone.
"There is also an official announcement that every village will set up a night school. There will be half-an-hour lectures every night. Men, women, old and young can attend and learn."
The village chief said: "This is a great thing. Teaching is free and no payment is required. In a few days, I will gather the villagers to build the school and build some tables, chairs and benches."
Shen Dalong quickly nodded vigorously and said: "I will definitely go to help when the time comes, as long as you say hello." After hesitating, he asked again: "Can women also learn?"
"Yes, anyone can go." The village chief replied with a smile, "You don't have to be able to read, but you can write your own name, and know the names of shops and road signs when you go out. Isn't it quite useful!"
"Yes, yes, you are right." Shen Dalong glanced at his wife and nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice.
My wife was a little disappointed because she couldn't do a good job for a month and a half. But when she heard that she could learn to read and write, she felt a little eager to look forward to it.
………………
In ten and a half days, we will take him to Jinzhou.
Axiu was walking around in the courtyard. The ground had completely thawed, but she was no longer in the mood to plant peppers and tomatoes.
We have to move again, and we won’t be able to reap what we sow. Let’s wait until we get to Jinzhou!
Axiu sighed softly and looked up at the new buds of the big tree in the courtyard in a daze.
She has lived in Guanglu Island for less than a year, but she has feelings for this home. Because she got married here and changed from a girl to a married woman.
Here is her peace, her sweetness and happiness, and her longing as she leans against the door and looks up...
No matter where you live, it is best to be with your man. Axiu pursed her lips slightly, showing a smile of joy.
Fortunately, the battle was won, the husband was safe and sound, and he was promoted to an official. Of course, being promoted was not the main thing.
Axiu often thinks that even if her husband is not an official, the family can live a peaceful life with more than ten acres of land, food and clothing, even if it is just a simple meal.
But she would not say these words. She knew that her husband had great ambitions and had a deep hatred for Jianlu, and would not be willing to live an ordinary life.
And from a big perspective, how can we live a peaceful life with Jianlu entrenched in Liaodong? How much land is there on the island, and how many people live there. It is difficult to eat, so where are the more than ten acres of farmland?
If you don't take back your former home and completely defeat the Jianlu, the dream of a happy life will be illusory. Unless you go to live far away from Liaodong.
"Axiu." Sister-in-law Sun and Sister-in-law Wang each walked in carrying a few flower pots and greeted Sister Xiu with a smile.
He once called Axiu Madam, but Axiu stubbornly refused, so he kept the previous title.
"Look, we got the flowerpots, and you can plant peppers with confidence." Seeing Axiu's confused look, Sister-in-law Sun explained: "We still have ten and a half days to go, so we can do it by then."
Take out the seedlings, transplant them into pots, and take them away with you."
Sister-in-law Wang smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about that twice. If you ask me, just plant it directly in the pot. When the seedling grows up, you can just move it to the ground."
Axiu thought it was a good idea, but she was afraid of troublesome people when moving, so she said, "It's very heavy to move flowers and pots. Will people gossip?"
"What are you talking about?" Sister-in-law Sun blinked, understanding what Axiu meant, and said nonchalantly: "Dajing is a general, and he is in charge of thousands of people. How many of you can be used for this job? You
, I just think too much and still don’t think I am the general’s wife.”
Mrs. Wang nodded in agreement and said, "That's right. Dozens of pots of chili peppers can be hauled away on a single cart. It's effortless."
Axiu thought about it and hoped that her husband could eat peppers as soon as possible. She was even more afraid of delaying the planting, so she agreed and helped Sister Sun and Sister Wang to load the soil and plant the peppers in the pots.
Most of the people on the island have moved away. Sun Liuyan and Wang Gui were arranged by Guo Dajing to go to Jinzhou with Axiu, Ronger and others.
As an old man on the island, Chen Youshan is already familiar with various tasks, and he has gone to Jinzhou with several managers to help.
Zhao Qingshan is a person Guo Dajing trusts and will soon move to Jinzhou with the workshop.
Seeing the familiar villagers leaving one by one, Axiu was anxious and eager. But she would not cause trouble to her husband, she would only wait for him to send someone to pick her up.
………………
Chili peppers are native to the Americas and entered China in the second half of the 16th century. They are also known as hot peppers. However, they have been cultivated as ornamental plants for a long time and have not entered the Chinese diet for a long time.
The spread of chili pepper in China also started in Fujian, passed through Jiangxi, and entered Hunan, Guizhou, Sichuan and other places, and became a characteristic of local seasoning.
Guo Dajing did not expect that the Lin family was really dedicated in collecting seeds. First it was corn, and now it is pepper, tobacco and other seeds. Regardless of whether they can be used or not, they are all sincere and thank you.
"Is the new port okay?" Lin Tiansheng was not very confident about the future of Dalian Port. "It's mainly winter. If it freezes, it won't be usable."
Guo Dajing was quite confident. How could such a famous port in later generations freeze in winter? Even if it did freeze, it would be over if it was not used in winter.
"I asked the guide that there is basically no ice in winter. Even if it does freeze, the ice layer is very thin and does not affect the navigation of ships." Guo Dajing said nonchalantly: "Anyway, the Lin family's ships are not in Liaodong in winter, so you don't have to be too cautious.
Too worried."
Lin Tiansheng smiled and said: "Since you chose Sanshanhaikou for your house, the Lin family should also build a house there and be neighbors!"
"Sanshan Haikou is too stubborn, I'm going to change it to Dalian." Guo Dajing said with a smile: "Why, the matter with Miss Lin's family has not been resolved yet?"
Lin Tiansheng sighed helplessly and said: "It's really difficult to deal with. If you want to die, wouldn't it be harmful to just live?"
Then just break off the engagement! Guo Dajing opened his mouth, but swallowed his words.
In feudal society, some things were not as easy as he thought. Improper handling could ruin Lin Waner's reputation.
