Chapter 113： high hopes
Ma Liu was very happy to see that she brought back so many things, she touched the iron plow with her hand, and said, "This is what your cousin left behind. It has been used for eleven years, and I didn't expect this thing to be found. ."
Ma Liu put the things aside and said, "Since there is an iron plow, let's start turning the soil when we burn all the grass in the field."
Mu Yangling said of course there was no problem.
The next day, the four of them had a fever for more than 20 acres. After noon, they went to cut the fire road. The Hu family saw this situation and secretly felt a little bit moved. When the Mu family burned all the land, the old man Hu Walking on the edge of the field, looking at the black ash who couldn't take a step, he sighed: "This method is good."
"Why don't we go and ask them, if we don't ask carefully, I won't dare to set fire to it."
The old man Hu nodded thoughtfully.
Just before the Hu family came to ask, Qi Haoran came to look for Mu Yangling on horseback, "I heard that you burned all the grass in the field with a torch, which saved a lot of effort."
"You said it lightly, but I cut a fire escape for several days. If the fire really goes down, your camp will burn."
Qi Haoran's eyes lit up, "That is, there is a way to burn it, tell me, and let others learn it. Fan Zijin said that the farming tools are not available yet, so the planting in the spring will probably be delayed, and the food and grass will be a problem. Fazi, you can't hide it from me."
Mu Yangling's eyes lit up, "Go, take me to the field, since you said that, I will tell you what I have in mind. But I don't care whether it works, believe it or not, it's up to you."
"Okay," Qi Haoran originally only wanted to train troops, but two days ago when he went back, he saw that his eldest brother was in a hurry for food and grass. stressed, he felt that he could not relax.
Among the people who farm, Qi Haoran is most familiar with Mu Yangling, so he naturally consulted with her immediately.
Qi Haoran mounted his horse, stretched out his hand and pulled Mu Yangling up and sat behind him, asking, "Where are we going?"
"Go to the east first. My family has 110 acres of land there, which was just burned yesterday."
"I know," Qi Haoran said, asking for credit, "that's what I set out for you on purpose."
Mu Yangling twitched the corner of his mouth, "I thank you."
"No thanks, I'll help you choose the best one if you still have the land in the future."
Mu Yangling snorted, "Don't be so kind, our family's land belongs to the Hu family, the land on the east side of their house is all medium land, while the forty acres in the south are thirty acres. It is a high-class land, although it is a little scattered, but the land is fertile, and there are 20 acres in the west, which is also a high-class land…”
Qi Haoran tilted his head in confusion, "The Hu family? I don't know each other. Are you and their family old?"
"No, I just wanted to tell you that in my 180 acres of land, there are only 23 acres of high-quality land, the rest is mostly low-quality land that fails to harvest corn, and a small half is medium-sized land."
Qi Haoran stiffened slightly, "Is the ground still divided into upper, middle and lower?"
"Yeah," Mu Yangling laughed when he saw that the tips of his ears were turning red, and poked his waist: "Okay, it's actually not bad, my land is cowardly, but our family Less, not necessarily so much planted, such a land is taken away by others even more loss.”
Qi Haoran scratched his head and didn't know what to say. He was kind, but he didn't seem to do anything good.
When arrived at the ground, Mu Yangling pointed to the tunnel of the Mu family: "Well, this is all burned."
Qi Haoran saw the ash on the ground and nodded, "How long have you been burning for?"
"Eight days, I almost died of exhaustion when cutting the fire road. Like other people's homes, I cut it bit by bit and then turned the soil, it would have to die 180 times. So you want people to come and learn from me, I It must be taught, but you must pay attention when setting fires. If the fire prevention is not done well, it will be difficult to control the fire once it spreads. Qi Haoran, our Mingshui County is full of mountains and forests. already."
Qi Haoran said solemnly: "Don't worry, I know what to do."
The two rode to the river, Qi Haoran jumped off the horse before picking her up, "Why are you here? The river is already frozen."
"That's really what I'm going to tell you, has it snowed five times this year?"
Qi Haoran didn't count them, and looked at Mu Yangling blankly.
Mu Yangling walked to the river and paused, saying: "Mingshui County is full of small rivers in addition to the mountains, but as long as there is a drought, the river will stop flowing, and few can store water, Qi Haoran, it is early winter now. Well, there may still be heavy snow down there. Assuming that what I told you about the drought in the summer is true, then the snow will melt in the spring, and the water in the river will definitely swell, and land like this may not be able to be preserved."
Mu Yangling stepped on the ground under his feet, and said again: "And the beginning of summer is the key growth period of wheat. If there is no water at this time and the river will stop flowing, how much food and grass do you think will be guaranteed for the coming year?"
Qi Haoran lowered his face, "Then what do you say?"
"Fix the water conservancy," Mu Yangling saw him frown and was about to persuade him when he heard him say: "Okay, I will let them suspend their training and spend half a day every day to repair the water conservancy."
Mu Yangling was stunned for a moment, then looked at Qi Haoran blankly.
Qi Haoran looked up at this endless field and sighed melancholy.
Qi Haoran ran back to the camp in a depressed mood. Thinking that tomorrow was a day off, he simply rode a horse and went back to Xiying overnight.
He rushed all the way to the eldest brother's study and looked at him a little aggrieved.
Qi Xiuyuan put down the brush and asked, "What's wrong?"
Qi Haoran pursed his lips and said aggrieved: "Brother, if the Hu people come to commit the crime, will you let the five battalions go out?"
"It depends."
"Look at what situation?"
Qi Xiuyuan said coldly: "The fifth battalion is a non-brand army. Unless the first battalion, the second battalion and the third battalion are killed and wounded more than half, the fifth battalion will not go to the battlefield."
Although he knew this was the result, Qi Haoran was still very sad when he heard it with his own ears.
Qi Xiuyuan slowed his expression and said, "Haoran, if you want to bring them to the battlefield, you have to train the fifth battalion just like the fourth battalion."
"What's the matter? When I was in the fourth battalion, I just trained them, but now the military system has changed, everything has changed, and the fifth battalion has everything to be built, so there is almost no training time." Qi Haoran said irritably.
Qi Xiuyuan's face turned cold, "You can't stand it if you only manage a battalion now, what about me? Do you think I just need to train them to fight? Food and grass, weapons, winter clothes, military salaries, pensions for soldiers, and even peace I have to master the cooperation and confrontation in Xingyuan Mansion, if you want to catch up with me or even surpass me, then you have to learn these.”
Seeing that his younger brother bowed his head in frustration, Qi Xiu Yuan got up and walked over to him and patted his head, saying, "Sharpen a knife without accidentally chopping wood, you are already very good at training soldiers, but it is far from being able to only train soldiers. Not enough, the big brother asked you to take over the fifth battalion not only because you are too young to apply for the seal, but also want you to slowly learn how to be a good general, the fifth battalion, the big brother will let you do it, no matter what you are Whatever you do, Big Brother supports you, Big Brother hopes that one day you can surpass Big Brother."
Qi Haoran's eyes shone brightly, and he looked at his big brother with bright eyes.
Qi Xiuyuan smiled slightly, and couldn't help but patted his head again.
Ma Liu put the things aside and said, "Since there is an iron plow, let's start turning the soil when we burn all the grass in the field."
