Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 226

Zhang Liang and Cen Wenwen rode horses and led their men to the outside of Tianjin City, pretending that they were grain merchants who came to check the wheat, and asked around, and soon they knew where the wheat fields in Tianjin City were.

They left Tianjin City, and after running for a long distance, they all stopped.

Because at this moment, they broke into a large stretch of golden wheat fields stretching as far as the eye can see. They had never seen such a majestic scene of wheat fields.

The only pity is that there is a river blocking them, so they have to look up and down to see if there is a bridge across the river.

"There is no idle time in farming, and things are more difficult in May. When the summer wind blows out, Mai Tao pays for his hard work." Cen Wenwen sighed as he looked at the scene in front of him.

Zhang Liang looked at Cen Wenwen beside him, and always felt that it seemed wrong for him to bring this guy beside him out.

Facing Cen Wenwen's exclamation, he could only say, "Well said, I think so too!"

After receiving these words, the subordinates around him felt that the governor was being compared by the servant without knowing it.

Zhang Liang sighed in his heart, he just suffered from being uneducated.

But immediately raised his head and turned around, but seeing the people on the road, he went over and said, "My lord, is the wheat planted here? It seems to be very strong. Is there a bridge to cross? Let me wait to cross the river and see." .”

Pedestrians looked at Zhang Liang's horse, somewhat envious, knowing that Zhang Liang should be a wealthy and prestigious family.

So the pedestrian thought for a while and said, "These are the wheat brought by King Yan, and this field belongs to King Yan. If you continue to go north, there is a small bridge."

"King Yan's field? Is it all in such a large area?" Zhang Liang couldn't help frowning when he heard this.
"King Yan, where did you get so much land? Expropriation and extortion, robbing the people of their land!"

"You outsider, how do you talk!" Pedestrians heard Zhang Liang's words,

"How did the King of Yan ever do this? These lands were reclaimed by the people sent by the King of Yan. The King of Yan has never done anything wrong."

Hearing this, Cen Wenwen hurried up and said to the pedestrian, "Don't blame this brother, my brother can't speak.

We also admire King Yan's good deeds, but we are a little surprised to suddenly know that such a large piece of land belongs to King Yan.

Now that Mr. Lang understands this matter, I wonder if he can tell us how King Yan got such a large piece of land.

Hearing that Mr. Lang's accent is not from Tianjin, he seems to be from Henan!I'm from Dengzhou, I don't know if I'm from the same town? "

"Yeah!" The passer-by nodded and shook his head again.
"Most of our people in Tianjin were rescued by King Yan to Tianjin during the flood last year, and most of them are from Henan.

I am from Xuzhou. When I came here, most of these fields had already been planted with wheat. King Yan asked us to take care of the fields here. "

"Before you came, these fields were already out?" Cen Wenwen keenly grasped the pedestrian's words.

"Yes!" The pedestrian nodded and said, "Before we came, most of these fields had already been reclaimed."

"How did King Yan do it?" Cen Wenwen asked after hearing what this man said.

"We are not very clear about the details. We only heard from the seniors that King Yan practiced mechanized and large-scale cultivation, using various tools of the Mohist school and cattle from the north to open up this cultivated land." replied.

"Senior?" Cen Wenwen asked after hearing this man's words, "But the students from the agricultural college?"

"That's right, that's right!" The passer-by nodded repeatedly and said, "They are cutting rice ahead today!"

When the two heard this, they fell back to express their thanks to the pedestrians, and then continued to go forward.

But a group of people came to a small bridge under construction. Zhang Liang frowned when he looked at the personnel who were building the small bridge. They all clustered together consciously.

Cen Wenwen also felt something was wrong, and asked Zhang Liang, "Captain, is there anything wrong?"

"The bridge repairers in front have traces of the army, so they are somewhat on guard!"

Zhang Liang looked at these people carefully, frowned and said, "However, there is no evil spirit on these people, so they should not be elite.

It's just that if it wasn't for the elite, why would I be instinctively wary when I look at them? "

Zhang Liang looked at these people who were building the road full of doubts, but no one could give him an answer.

Cen Wenwen asked suspiciously, "Is there some kind of military dispatch in Youzhou, so there is such a move?"

"I don't know?" Zhang Liang whispered to Cen Wenwen, "It's better to be careful!"

At this time, Zu Changming, who was strong and strong, came in front of the two of them and said,

"Everyone, this bridge has been in disrepair for a long time, and today we, Jin Yiwei, are in charge of repairing this bridge, so it is temporarily closed to traffic.

If you can, please continue to the north, about five or six kilometers, and there is a new stone bridge that can pass across the river! "

"Jinyiwei?" Zhang Liang looked at their clothes, but saw that these people were wearing silk brocade clothes, engraved with jumping carp, and asked doubtfully, "There is no army called Jinyiwei in Zhechong Mansion in Youzhou. Who are you guys? !?"

At this time, Zhang Liang looked at the people in front of him with serious expressions.

For Zhang Liang, he had seen a big battle after all, but he was not afraid at all.

A group of inexplicable armed forces suddenly appeared on the land of Youzhou, and this force must be clarified no matter what.

"We are the personal guards of Prince Yan's Mansion, not the soldiers of Youzhou Mansion!" Zu Changming looked at Zhang Liang who was a little confused, picked up the long knife in his hand, pointed to his clothes, and said, "This is the Xiuchun Knife , this is a flying fish suit, don’t you understand?”

That's right, Li Tai named his five hundred personal guards Jinyiwei. After all, he is the King of Yan, so it's reasonable for the name of Yanwang's personal guards to be Jinyiwei.

Of course, Li Tai originally wanted to get the Shenji Camp, but after thinking about it, it didn't even have a gun called the Shenji Camp, so it should be called the Jinyiwei.

Under normal circumstances, Li Tai's Jinyiwei is divided into two parts, one is for daily training, and the other is for maintaining Li Tai's safety. Basically, it changes every season, and the training is handed over to Ren Yaxiang. It's Lu Anshou.

Of course, this will also increase Li Tai's troops' grasp of the control talent.

Because generally speaking, the number of 500 people to train the talent of the war department is the most appropriate.

If the number of people is too small, it will be difficult to rely on the organization to realize the talent of the war department in the early stage.

However, having fewer people doesn't mean that you can't master the talent of the war department, it's just that it's more difficult to master.

For Ren Yaxiang, Li Tai has already provided his own logistics in this way, and if he can allow himself to train unscrupulously, then even if he can't achieve the level where eighteen people can show the talent of the war department like Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry , then you should work hard to achieve 200 people to master the talent of the war department.

In this case, 200 personal guards around Li Tai will be enough in the future!

What, in this case, even if Li Tai's personal guards are on shift, it seems that only 400 people are needed, so what do the remaining 100 people do?
Of course it is training to death!
Why he was not selected as Li Tai's personal guard and became King Yan's brocade guard? You need to explain why!
If you don't practice to death while others are standing guard for King Yan, you can only sit on the bench all the time.

All in all, Ren Yaxiang saw that no matter what request he made during the training, Li Tai almost agreed without thinking, but he didn't want to leave.

After all, Su Lie's soldiers are not as well trained as King Yan's personal guards. As long as they don't die, they will practice to death.

If it had been practiced like this before, the army would have mutinied long ago.

But now, relying on the excessively rich food provided by King Yan, as well as the incredible logistics support including the medical camp... This sentence seems to be no longer an adjective, but a real fact.

Of course, although Li Tai had no intention of hindering Ren Yaxiang in training his personal guards, and let Ren Yaxiang do whatever he wanted, but Yan Wang's orders also made Ren Yaxiang quite incomprehensible, for example.

Every night, Li Tai asked people from the agricultural school to teach these personal guards literacy, and Ren Yaxiang went to attend the lectures, most of which were loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and guarding the Tang Dynasty.

Although I think these things are useless, but this is King Yan's personal guard, King Yan has his own hobbies, since it didn't affect his training, he endured it.

Every morning, Li Tai arranged for people from the Agricultural University to come over to check the dormitories. These personal guards must get up as quickly as possible, and they must also work hard to clean up the hygiene of their dormitories, and even fold the quilts. Square cubes of tofu.

Although I don't know what it is for, but this is King Yan's personal guard, King Yan wants to toss, and it doesn't affect his training, so he endured it.

Then every month, Li Tai allowed himself to spare a few days to arrange a relatively simple engineering project in Jinyiwei, or help the people build bridges and pave roads, or help the people do farm work. Things can be completed in a short time, and the longest time cannot more than three days.

Although I don't know what it is for, but this is King Yan's personal guard, and King Yan has to toss about it himself, and it doesn't affect his training...well, it has affected it this time.

Ren Yaxiang resolutely approached King Yan and asked if he could stop the soldiers from doing such boring things.

Ren Ya said to Li Tai: "King Yan, as soldiers, the only thing the soldiers need to do is to obey the orders of their superiors.

Whether it is studying cultural courses or dealing with the hygiene of the dormitory.

Because of your habits, King Yan, I will not comment.

But spending so many extra days every month to help Tian Shelang do these things is just a waste of time! "

"What you are talking about is the current army of my Tang Dynasty, but they are my personal guards now!" Li Tai looked at Ren Yaxiang and said seriously,

"As my personal guard, I must at least let them know where their rations come from.

Was it given by my court?I gave it to Li Tai?It was given from the taxes paid by the people of Tang Dynasty who worked hard to cultivate the land for a year!

If they don't understand this truth, then they don't have the same heart with me, so how can they be my personal guards!
This kind of thing to help the people of my Tang Dynasty, my personal guards have to do it, the things they can do can be small, but they must be done, so that they understand what they need to protect! "

When Ren Yaxiang heard Li Tai's words, he hesitated for a while, and finally nodded, not saying anything more.

Since Li Tai wants to arrange this kind of thing in training, then he can arrange it himself.

Think of this as a rest time for this person, and if you train them more rigorously, you will make up for the training.

That's why Li Tai's personal guards came to repair the bridge, especially the talent of Li Tai's army's war department was control, and carpentry props like hammers and hammers were quite skillful for Jin Yiwei to master.

Don't look at the embroidery spring knives they are holding, but it doesn't need to be strange to have a hammer wrench on their waist occasionally.

"Xiuchun Knife, Flying Fish Clothes..." Zhang Liang looked puzzledly at Li Tai's personal guard who was doing the work of a corvee.

To be honest, Zhang Liang really didn't understand, but Zhang Liang looked at their clothes and embroidered spring knives, and believed in what these people said.

The main reason is that the embroidered spring knives are basically the same size, obviously made from the same abrasive tool.

As for the Flying Fish Clothes, it was Lingluo Brocade Clothes. Not everyone could wear clothes of this level.

Not to mention the level or not, but the clothes on them alone, I am afraid that only King Yan has the money for some people to wear them.

Therefore, Zhang Liang said to Zu Changming, "I was the one who was abrupt, sir, you continue to build the bridge, and I will continue to move forward and look at the wheat fields ahead!"

Seeing Zhang Liang and the others, Zu Changming didn't say anything more, but said politely, "Everyone, come tomorrow, this bridge will be able to pass through!"

After the two parties saluted, they walked away alternately.

It's just that Zu Changming looked at Zhang Liang and several people around him, and said to the one around him,

"You go back and report to the King of Yan, saying that a group of unknown people came to the border of Youzhou. I think it was the wind watcher who made a lot of noise at the beginning of the year, and the King of Yan paid attention to it!"

After the personal guard saluted Zu Changming, he went directly to Tianjin City.

Zu Changming stared at Zhang Liang and his party for a while, but he stopped paying attention, and continued to direct his brothers to repair the bridge.

After all, this is his task.

At this moment, after Zhang Liang and others crossed the river on the next bridge, they actually saw the straw in the wheat field.

At this time, some people in the field have started to sweep the wheat with the samarium sickle (sweeping son). Basically, they hold the samarium sickle and wave it around, and they can see that all the wheat has entered the basket of the samarium sickle. Compared with squatting It is more than ten times faster to cut with a sickle.

Zhang Liang was born as a farmer. Although he stopped doing farm work, he could see that the tools in these people's hands came quite quickly.

In the field, apart from the common people using samarium sickles to quickly harvest wheat, on the other side, there are cattle pulling strange hollow utensils slowly moving forward, and each long handle is connected with a sawtooth-shaped iron made items.

This thing has a big mouth, and there is a serrated iron bar bent into a geometric shape above the front for harvesting wheat.

The ox pushes forward and can cut wheat without bending down, but the ox is obviously not used to this thing, and someone needs to support the ox to prevent it from going the wrong way. After all, it looks quite strange.
