Chapter 81 0077 [Cornucopia Begging Wife]

After all, Zhu Guoxiang was still a little worried about his son staying in the former bandit den.

Early the next morning, he went to the Bai family to borrow a boat, and took a cornucopia over to have a look—this stupid horse was getting more and more tempered, and Dean Zhu didn't want to serve him anymore.

Bai Zongwang heard that Zhu Guoxiang was going to Daming Village, so he called the nanny who raised Yao Fang's son, "You take the baby and go on the road together, and hand it back to Zhang Guangdao, and say that I owe him nothing."

The nurse was very kind. That night the bandits attacked at night, and she hid in the wheat field overnight with the baby in her arms.

"puff!"

The cornucopia was standing on the deck, Tian San was afraid that something might go wrong, so he wanted to bring the horse in, but was spit on on the spot.

"This bastard doesn't know what to do!" Tian San cursed.

Zhu Guoxiang laughed and said: "Don't say it's you, I can hardly serve this horse anymore."

Tian San leaned over to look at the horse's Tintin, and suggested: "You should find someone to gel it, that way you will be more obedient."

Along the way, we encountered many houses and some villagers were working in the fields.In the battle that night, many people died, but life had to go on, burying relatives hastily and continuing to work hard.

The beast didn't know how to be polite, and when it saw a mare, it rushed forward and circled around the opposite sex.

Zhu Ming said: "I have watched videos on the history of firearms development on the Internet, and I have also seen a few firearms structure diagrams. I also know how to make granular gunpowder. It is so simple that illiterate farmers can make it. Dean Zhu, Have you heard of the three great time travel treasures?"

The passenger boat of the Bai family sailed to the place where Zhang Guangdao was first seen. Tian San pointed to the bank and said, "I have moved to live in the stockade, and there are still a few acres of land here, which will be handed over to the tenants for cultivation. Brother Zhu said that the wasteland downstream will also be cultivated." It is a good thing if it is cultivated, but I am afraid that there are too few villagers to grow it."

Zhu Ming understands, this teacher is not very reliable.

The mountains here are much steeper than those in Shangbai Village, and Zhu Guoxiang began to dislike the inconvenience of living in the cottage.

The passenger boat turned into the small river and headed all the way to the cottage.

Zhang Guangdao teased the child and said, "Brother Zhu, a student envoy from the county has come to investigate some scholars of the Eight Elements. The county magistrate asked you to put on makeup and pretend to be seriously injured, so as not to show your feet in front of the envoy."

Bai Shengma ran away and soon brought a horse.

The father and son got up to greet him, only to find that Zhang Guangdao was holding the child, and the nanny had already handed Yao Fang's son to him.

Zhu Ming said, "Go and bring the horse."

Xixiang County is mountainous, so it is suitable for planting tea and tung oil trees.

After rolling around twice, he stood up again, and circled on the deck. It seemed that the area was too small, and he snorted at Zhu Guoxiang extremely dissatisfied.

If you want to reclaim it casually, interplanting soybeans with corn does not require intensive cultivation, just plant widely and harvest lightly.Even if it is a small harvest, it may be close to the output of corn.

As the mountain became steeper and steeper, the cornucopia became a bit difficult, and Zhu Guoxiang had to push it at the critical moment.

Zhu Ming didn't stop him, he just laughed and said, "You should be happy, when you really want to go to the battlefield, you will definitely be handed over to the gelding."

As a military horse, Cornucopia was not gelded, and it is very likely that it was reserved as a horse breed.

Brother Zhu's father seemed... very strange.

Cornucopia followed behind them, and they didn't need to be led, they just climbed the mountain obediently.This also made Tian San feel very amazing, the Zhu family father and son seemed to be extraordinary, even the horses they raised.

"There are few people and there are few people." Zhu Guoxiang said.

Zhang Guangdao shook his head and said, "I don't really know. When I left the county, the Tuxue envoy went to climb the mountain and brought many scholars up to see the distance. Even the county magistrate didn't know when the Tixue envoy would come to see you. Said to make you ready at home at any time."

Zhu Guoxiang couldn't help laughing, he was really amused, and asked, "Have you finished watching?"

"You just have to be silly." Zhu Guoxiang said contemptuously.

However, in the Song Dynasty, there were not many tung oil trees planted here, and it was not until the Qing Dynasty that they were planted on a large scale. The population exploded, and all the land that could be developed was developed, and the economic trees that could not be developed were planted.

"Mr. Zhu, be careful, there may be a trap there!" Tian San hastily reminded.

Tian San said: "Heifeng... Daming Village already has several hundred acres of tea hills, and there are too few people, so the tea-picking season is too busy. The former bandit leaders were afraid that they would not be able to stop the officers and soldiers, so they ordered that the big trees on both sides of the mountain road be removed. It was cut down. Now there are only small trees and weeds, no one dares to come here to farm.”

"Brother Zhu, Third Brother Zhang is back!" Bai Sheng shouted from afar.

In the open space over there, the cornucopia had already come down from the mare, and the beast had only persisted for a few minutes, which made Zhu Ming, who relished watching horse movies, despise him for a while.

"What a mess." Zhu Guoxiang was speechless.

Tian San also took the initiative to help hold the baby and let the nanny climb the slope alone.

"Let me go to the county seat?" Zhu Ming asked.

Zhu Guoxiang guessed: "I'm afraid, there are two reasons you mentioned."

Zhu Guoxiang didn't climb any further. He scraped away the thorns and weeds, took out a handful of soil and inspected it carefully, and asked, "Why isn't tea grown here?"

This kind of stallion is selected from the best, and the price is much more expensive, and it is even more expensive to smuggle to the south.But Cornucopia was so clever that he took advantage of the bandit's robbery and broke out of the encirclement to escape alone.

Some bandits rushed into the cabin to snatch the horses. As soon as they pulled them to the deck, the cornucopia jumped into the river and fled, even knocking the bandits blocking the way into the water.

"Then you have to sort out the waste tea hills this year and make use of the nearby waste tea hills," Zhu Guoxiang suggested. "If you are too busy picking tea next year, go to the county to recruit tea pickers. Only by producing more roasted tea can we quickly accumulate raw tea. funds."

Zhu Ming shook his head: "I haven't finished reading it. It's eight or nine hundred pages. I only see the prospect of future weapons, infrared missiles, anti-aircraft suspension bombs and so on. I flipped through it casually, and later taught people how to raise quail, scrape putty, repair refrigerators, and drive tractors. Why do you think I learned those things? Through this book, I know the posture of shooting a plane with a rifle. He also knows how to blow up tanks with bare hands. It’s all dragon slaying skills, and it’s completely useless!”

For the low-level farmers here, it doesn't matter who is the owner of the village, as long as they can collect less tax, it would be better.

Bai Shengfei ran over, but he didn't go to the county seat to return to his command, but stayed in the cottage to help Zhu Ming with trivial matters.

"Ten years, wait slowly," Zhu Guoxiang asked, "Can you make guns?"

The mare also shows signs of estrus, standing there is more restless.

Zhu Ming said: "It's really a mess. "Friends of Military and Civilian Talents" has all kinds of content. Military, agriculture, machinery, construction, home appliances, cooking, handicrafts, seal cutting, and even fucking photography, accounting and business management. See After finishing this book, Wu Neng will go to battle to blow up tanks, and Wen Neng will carve chapters and repair TV sets."

Zhu Ming suddenly shouted: "Bai Sheng, Bai Sheng!"

"Seriously," Zhu Guoxiang didn't talk nonsense with his son, "Although I don't know how to fight, I know the importance of weapons. If you really want to rebel, I suggest you get a batch of muskets first."

Zhu Guoxiang was walking in the cottage, and there were burnt black houses everywhere.

Ju Ming laughed and said, "The three great time-traveling books are "The Barefoot Doctor's Handbook", "The Militia Military Training Manual" and "Friends of Military and Civilian Talents". I have seen the latter two, and they are very wonderfully written."

Turning around to take a look, Zhu Guoxiang felt a little regretful, thinking that he should be gelling and should be gelling.

"I'm definitely embarrassed," Ju Ming said in a happy mood. "Before time travel, with my income from making videos, I could only buy a toilet in a big city. Now this is all mine, and the land may not be ten square kilometers, but There must be seven or eight square kilometers. It is a square kilometer, not a square meter."

Most of the seven or eight square kilometers of land are mountains.The paddy fields that can grow rice are located along the river and along the river, which add up to less than [-] mu.

When the father and son met, Zhu Guoxiang said, "Your population is too small, you need to bring in more people."

He climbed the mountain to observe, and planned the planting area at the same time, Tian San was taken aback when he heard it.

Zhu Guoxiang said: "There is not enough manpower, so we plant tung tree (tung oil), and it will produce seeds after three years of planting, and it can also maintain the water and soil here."

Zhang Guangdao participated in the robbery. The bandits rowed the main battleship and surrounded the larger official ship.

After drinking Tuancha several times, Ju Ming is convinced that there is definitely a market for fried tea.

As he walked, Zhu Guoxiang deviated from the mountain path and climbed to the barren slope next to him.

Zhu Ming said with a smile: "I found a wife for Cornucopia, and we are old acquaintances of Cornucopia."

"No." Zhu Guoxiang shook his head.

"No swearing!" Zhu Guoxiang stopped immediately.

To put it bluntly, it's actually shabby.

"It's better not to be a gelding." Zhu Guoxiang also likes this horse, although sometimes he hates it very much.

Zhu Guoxiang was sitting in front of a burnt-out house, looking at the cornucopia that began to ride a mare in the distance, and reminded: "In your place, with this small population, I am afraid that the rebellion will have to slowly accumulate strength."

"That's for sure," Zhu Ming said with a smile, "I've asked Archers to go back to their hometown to spread the word. If the people in their village can't live on, they can share a few acres of land with me. Anyway, I have a large amount of land in my hand. There is no shortage of land, only people. His grandma's..."

Landing by boat, Tian San took Zhu Guoxiang to climb the mountain.

The sun is quite bright today, and I am sweating from exhaustion. I finally arrived at the cottage.

I saw the beast lying on its back, rolling around on the deck, kicking the bucket over with one hoof.

The sides of the mountain road were cut bare, and Dean Zhu really didn't like it.

"All right, all right," Zhu Ming complained, "I don't know if it was because the government was exploiting too much, or because the productivity in the Song Dynasty was insufficient. Hanzhong had a large population in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. If you look at my place again, counting those barren hills, there may be thousands of There are only a few hundred people on tens of thousands of acres of land. I have already asked, even if there is no war, there were only more than 900 people here before.”

Zhu Ming walked over and sat down next to his father: "I'm waiting for Jingkang shame to happen. The biggest obstacle to the rebellion in the Hanzhong area is the Western Army. It is the most elite army in the Northern Song Dynasty, and it is also next to Hanzhong. Only the Western Army The loss was heavy, so I dared to rise up, otherwise I would probably fail."

Zhu Ming followed up and said: "The fire was a bit ruthless that night. A quarter of the houses in the village were burned. A lot of cloth was also burned. This is hard currency, and it made me feel so distressed. These houses used to be bandit leaders. , the leader and his family members live here. If Dean Zhu moves here, I will build you a big house."

Zhu Ming said sternly: "The musket needs to be developed and tested slowly. I don't even have a blacksmith in my hand. Let's start farming and start a business. The top priority is to produce fried tea next year. Tea belongs to huge profits, and it is the only one in our hands that can make huge profits." means."

Zhu Ming asked: "I heard that Brother Zhang used to sell smuggled salt and knew many escaped households in the mountains?"

Zhang Guangdao said, "I know."

Zhu Ming said: "After dealing with the affairs in the village, please ask Brother Zhang to move around. Go and tell those fleeing households that I have plenty of land here. As long as they are willing to come, life is guaranteed to be better."

"If they are not exploited by the government, they will definitely be willing to come. It is not easy to live in the mountains. This matter is on my shoulders." Zhang Guangdao patted his chest and said.
