Water Margin farming to become powerful

"Master Huang, please slow down."

"Hey, thank you, Master Zhang, sit down."

"Brother Ma, step on me, lift your leg, lift your leg..."

A small boat staggered, Huang Tang and other sons and grandchildren of landlords from Dutou Town were all crowded together.

In the past, not to mention a few horse-drawn carriages before and after they traveled, they would never be so frustrated, but at this time, the people sent by these big landlords were all sitting in the cabin with no tiles on the roof and talking nonsense I dare not say it, just because the person in front who looked at them with a smile was the legendary cadre of the protection army.

The cadre of the supervisory committee named Fang Liang smiled, but Huang Tang looked at his smile, how did he see it, how did he feel pervasive, and then glanced at the servants who were assigned to the boat behind him, Huang Tang felt his legs All trembling.

A few days ago, the city of Sizhou specially sent the head of the capital to ask everyone to be careful and guard against the guards.

In fact, it was useless. When the Dutou arrived, the Sizhou Supervisory Committee had been established for several days, and the Dutou of Sizhou not only did not stay here to pay the thieves after listening to it, but was frightened half to death. One night, he hurriedly took his soldiers and rode away without looking back.

According to what Nadutou said at the meeting, this guard is more powerful than Fang La, and he likes to eat children the most. If he doesn't have children, he will dig out the hearts of young women to drink, and women will eat men after eating.

Thinking of this, Huang Tang took a look at his own appearance. Although his father, Huang Cheng, was afraid that he would be injured before coming here, he specially cleaned him up and wiped some pot ashes on his face, but at this moment, it seemed that his hands and feet were still relatively small. Those peasant households next to them are much more white and fine.

Huang Cheng also sent him two Zhuang Ding, who knew how to use firearms, and specially brought muskets bought from merchants in Shandong, but before boarding the ship, the guards said that they were afraid of fire on the ship, so they took the musket guns first. The gun was surrendered.

Huang Tang and the others lived so far away from Shandong, and there was no information in these years. Although Huang Tang knew that the musket was also bought from Shandong, he always thought that the guards were bandits, so he never used it. The origin of the musket is associated with Sun Xin's supervisory committee.

When Huang Tang saw the gun being confiscated, he thought it was because the guards were familiar with such a good weapon, and when he saw it, the bandit got angry and wanted to snatch it and use it.

It is said that it is temporarily kept, but how can it be returned to him?

In Huang Tang's heart, apart from lamenting that he lost tens of dollars to buy the musket, he was even more afraid that the guards were quite knowledgeable and recognized the power of this musket. Now that he is unarmed, there is no way to escape.

Huang Tang is only 22 years old this year. Because he was loved by his father, he did not train him to be a farmer since he was a child, but taught him to study and take scientific examinations.

It's a pity that although Huang Tang is considered smart and his family is the first in Dutou Town, it is really not prominent in the prefecture and county.

The imperial examinations this year were very dark, and there was no one above them, so there was no chance of getting ahead.

Huang Tang was loved and cared for at home, and he had developed a character of accepting death. He had read a few books on sages and sages and cultivated a righteous attitude in his heart. He saw some nasty things among scholars in the school, and he really couldn't bear it. Thinking that in the future, if you want to apply for an official in the scientific examination, you will inevitably have to be in the officialdom, and you will be frustrated. The more you read, the more you feel discouraged. Finally, you go home and tell your father that you will not study in the future, and you will inherit the family business at home.

Although Huang Cheng was disappointed, he really cared for his elder son and didn't criticize him too much. Instead, he carefully taught him some things about running a business.

When Huang Tang was thinking about it, Xiao Zhou suddenly turned a corner and crossed a field of reeds, and the front of him suddenly opened up.

Huang Tang and the others saw a wetland in the distance, and a group of people were working hard there.

They are all from farming families. Although they didn't go close, they knew it was a good field when they saw the layout.

The sight in front of them widened, and everyone finally reacted when they were no longer depressed.

Today the supervisory committee invited them to watch the autumn harvest of the supervisory committee. Everyone thought it was just a cover, but there was actually a large piece of farmland in front of them. It seems that they were really invited to watch the autumn harvest today?

In an instant, everyone felt like they were dying.

Everyone was very excited, Huang Tang was even more relieved. He had studied for several years, and his mind was extra sensitive. He knew that he might not die. Skimmed, took the fish and shrimp and flew away far away.

Feeling refreshed and happy, Huang Tang couldn't help whispering: "Flying egrets in the Momo paddy fields."

As soon as the words came out, Fang Liang, who had been laughing just now, turned his head. He heard Huang Tang's poem and then casually continued the next line: "Yinyin Xiamu sings orioles...Young Master Huang is so elegant."

Huang Tang looked at Fang Liang in front of him in surprise: Does anyone in this bandit camp know Tang poetry?

Although Huang Tang was curious, Fang Liang didn't care too much after he casually answered a poem, so Huang Tang didn't want to ask more questions.

After the boat rowed into the shore, Fangliang County went ashore and asked the people on the shore to pave the boards to welcome the guests who came to visit the Supervisory Committee today.

Huang Tang and the others got off the boat one by one, and soon the small boat carrying the servants and servants behind them gradually docked. The servants of each family went to look for their master, and while they were making noise, several soldiers in short jackets walked towards Huang Tang, and took out He bought two muskets and returned them to Huang Tang's servants.

This time not only Huang Tang was surprised, even his servants were a little stunned.

It was obvious when they boarded the boat just now that the guards recognized this musket, and they must also know that this musket would sell for dozens of rounds in Shandong. At that time, Huang Tang thought that this gun would never be brought back. But I didn't expect that these bandits could return the weapons after they stole them?
Just as he was thinking about it, those servants subconsciously reached out to pick it up, Huang Tang suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and quickly stretched out his hands to block the two servants.

He rushed to Fang Liang not far away with a smile on his face and said:

"This weapon is just for the general to use, we don't want it anymore."

Huang Tang thought to himself: How could the bandits return the weapons they got?What these guards are doing now is probably just a hypocrisy.

Anyway, I have already entered the wolf's den, and it would be best if I can get out of the body. If they really turn their backs at that time, the weapon will still fall into their hands, so what's the point of taking it back now?Might as well use it to curry favor with the bandit leader.

Huang Tang felt that he had made a very smart decision, but when he said it, he saw Fang Liang in the distance who was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile.

"This is the weapon you brought. We just kept it for fear of a fire accident on the ship just now. Now that it has landed, it will naturally be returned to you. Young Master Huang, just take it, don't worry."

Huang Tang was dubious, thinking that these people must be just pretending, how dare he take it, so he continued to flatter, "Swords match heroes, and these firearms are just for the guards to use."

After repeated refusals, the little soldier who handed him the gun in front of Huang Tang finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said in a Shandong accent: "Master Huang, you should take your gun back, we have guns ourselves, and your smooth-bore gun, we really don't like it." It doesn't work!"

Huang Tang was taken aback, but before he could react, he saw a squad of patrolling soldiers approaching in the distance.

When they came near the port, they greeted Fang Liang.

Taking a closer look at the appearance of the person approaching, Huang Tang and his servants were all stunned.

I saw that the patrolling personnel of the protection army were carrying a beautiful rifle on their backs. Looking carefully, it was not a musket, but another style. A few smoothbore guns resold from Shandong are much more exquisite.
