Chapter 389
But on the other hand, in Quanzhou city in the evening, smoke from the chimneys of each house rises into the air, and pedestrians on the street are also in a hurry, rushing home, so that they can have a warm meal with their families dinner.

Gu Er led the stone, just came out of the barracks, and rode his horse towards the house.

"My lord, the third battalion will be disbanded in a few days, when the brothers return to the counties, what shall we do?" Shitou asked.

Gu Er and Shitou are now in the third battalion to help train the batch of Xiangyong who were transferred from various counties in Quanzhou for intensive training.

Gu Er took a sideways look at Shi Shi and said, "Zi Hou has his own arrangements, I'm not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry!"

Shitou smiled and rubbed his head: "Aren't I worried about you, young master?"

"There is nothing to worry about!" Gu Erdao: "Since Zihou called me from Bianjing all the way, is it just to let me come to help him train a few brave men?"

"By the way, didn't the pastry shop in front of you have a few new pastries, you go and buy some and give them to Sister Rong and Brother Chang to try." Gu Er pointed at a pastry shop in front of the road with a horsewhip and ordered stone road.

When Gu Er and Shi Shi returned to the small courtyard arranged by Wang Zhong with the cakes they had just bought, the cook had already prepared dinner.

"Erlang is back!" Seeing Gu Er, Zhu Manniang immediately greeted her with a smile. Gu Er hugged Rong and went back to the back room with Zhu Manniang, where they sat at the dining table. Zhu Manniang urged the maid to bring the food.

After a while, the family of four moved their chopsticks. Zhu Manniang served Gu Er and his sons and daughters with a smile on their faces. She acted like a good wife and mother, which made Gu Er, who had been short of love since childhood, more and more satisfied with her.

In the past few days, Gu Er has been on duty in the military camp as usual. Although the third battalion is about to be disbanded, Gu Er has always been responsible. The village warriors were a little slack, but they were even stricter than usual.

Fortunately, the villagers have long been accustomed to Gu Er's rigorous training, and nothing has happened.

But Gu Er would never have imagined that the wind and waves in the barracks were calm and the villagers didn't make any moths, but his backyard was the first to burn.

Gu Er just told Mannia that the third battalion was going to be disbanded, and he could stay at home with her and her two children for a while. He thought that what was waiting for him was Mannia's kindness, shyness and joy, but he never expected Zhu Mannia's reaction. As he expected.

"The third battalion is going to be disbanded?" Mannia looked surprised, "Erlang is the Marquis of Yu of the third battalion, now that the third battalion is going to be withdrawn, where will Erlang be transferred?"

Seeing the surprise on Zhu Manniang's face, although it was somewhat different from what he expected, Gu Er didn't think there was anything wrong: "I don't know yet, I'll ask Zihou sometime later."

Zhu Manniang's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly adjusted her mood and put on a pretty sweet smile: "It doesn't matter if the errand is gone, as long as Erlang can be safe and the four of us can be together, I will be satisfied."

Having shared the same bed with Gu Er for seven or eight years, Zhu Manniang has long been aware of Gu Er's temperament, knows what Gu Er cares about, and naturally speaks according to Gu Er's meaning.

Sure enough, as soon as she said this, Gu Er showed a smile on his face, looked at the pair of children, then at Zhu Manniang, and said in a firm tone: "Manniang, don't worry, I will definitely stand out, let you and Sister Rong, Brother Chang is living a good life."

Zhu Manniang smiled and took some food for Gu Er, saying: "Erlang is both intelligent and brave, I believe Erlang will be able to do it!"

"Erlang must be tired from training soldiers in the military camp. Why don't I accompany Erlang to drink a few cups to relieve fatigue?" Zhu Manniang asked softly and concerned.

"it is good!"

Zhu Manniang immediately asked the maid to buy wine, and then she carried the jug herself, and filled Gu Er with wine one by one until Gu Er was drunk.

The next day, seeing that Gu Er and Shi Shi went to the military camp, Zhu Manniang asked the maid to take the children at home, and went out to buy by herself.

There were too many people outside, and Brother Chang was too young to be taken out. In the past, Zhu Manniang often went out by herself, and the maid didn't think there was anything wrong.

In a side alley that was rarely visited by people in the city, before entering the door, Zhu Manniang looked around to make sure that no one was following her, and then walked into the side alley.

"Mannia!" The man who had been waiting in the side alley had a smile on his face when he saw Zhu Manniang, but he couldn't help asking, "Why are you so anxious to meet?"

"How is the matter I asked you to inquire about?" Zhu Manniang asked quickly.

The man said: "I have already inquired clearly. From last year to now, the surrounding waters have not been very peaceful. Many pirates have appeared and robbed passing ships. Several companies have jointly signed a letter to Zhizhou, asking the Yamen to send troops to the sea to wipe out the pirates. Yamen These newly trained soldiers and horses are likely to go to fight pirates!"

"Fighting pirates?" Zhu Manniang couldn't help guessing: "Could it be that Prince Hou brought Erlang from Bianjing just to fight pirates?"

The man shook his head helplessly and said, "That's all I found out!"

"What's the use of you!" Zhu Manniang looked at the man with disgust, and then said to herself, "No, we can't stay in Quanzhou forever!"

"Gu Tingye refuses to return to Bianjing, what can we do!" The man looked helpless.

"His elder brother is not in good health. Who knows that he will have a few more years to live. He is not welcomed by the old Hou Ye. If he is not in Bianjing, when his elder brother goes, the Hou Mansion will become a It belongs to his younger brother." Zhu Manniang calmly analyzed.

"Could it be possible to tie him back?" the man said angrily.

Zhu Manniang sneered: "Tie him back? He's a soft-bodied person, not to mention you and my brother and sister. Even if there are seven or eight big men, they may not be his opponents."

"Then what should we do?" Zhu Dalang frowned, all his eyes were on his younger sister Zhu Manniang.

After thinking for a while, Zhu Manniang said, "I'll try again in the next few days and see if I can persuade him to go back!"

"What if it can't?" Zhu Dalang asked.

Zhu Manniang thought about it, but she still didn't dare to say too much: "Let's try it first!"

As he spoke, he lifted off the cloth covering the bamboo basket he was carrying, and handed the banknotes he had just sold for the jewelry to Zhu Dalang, not forgetting to tell him: "Now that I have an IOU at home, all the jewelry that Erlang bought for me will be sold. It's almost done, brother, don't gamble any more, otherwise Erlang should see the clue."

As soon as he saw the banknote, Zhu Dalang's eyes lit up, his attention was all attracted by the banknote, and he said again and again: "No more gambling, absolutely no more gambling!"

Zhu Manniang looked around again, and whispered: "Brother, be careful these few days, Erlang is coming back, so don't let him see you."

"Then I'll hide away. If something happens, please let me know as before, and I'll come find you again."

Zhu Manniang nodded, leaned over, tiptoed to look around, and then walked out from the side alley, Zhu Dalang also turned around and left quickly.

But he didn't wait for him to go far, he just turned around the corner, and before he could see clearly, a sack covered his head.

In the morning of the next day, Gu Er was training soldiers in the barracks, when suddenly the sergeant on duty came to report, saying that Wang Zhong had something important to do and told him to go there.

When Gu Er walked out of the barracks, he found that it was none other than Wang Zhong's long-term follower, Yu Chuer. Gu Er, who knew very well that Wang Zhong was definitely not someone who targeted for no reason, immediately followed Yu Chuer and galloped all the way. When they arrived at the county government office, Yu Chuer didn't lead Gu Er to the back hall, instead he went straight into the cell.

Just when Gu Er was full of doubts, he saw Wang Zhong in the cell who was sitting at the table eating wine. There were also two braised vegetables, a plate of edamame, and a plate of spiced broad beans on the table.

"Zhong Huai is here, sit down!" Seeing Gu Er, Wang Zhong smiled and got up and motioned Gu Er to sit down.

Gu Er only felt suspicious in his heart, and really couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Wang Zhong's gourd. After sitting down, he looked around and couldn't help but said, "Zihou's interest is different from ordinary people. Come to this prison."

Wang Zhong poured a glass of wine for Gu Er with the jug, and said: "It's not because there is anything special here, but because there is a person in prison at this time, who still has some relationship with Zhong Huai, so the news will leak out, so this is the reason for the loss." I specially asked Zhong Huai, the second grader general, to come here."

"Come on, let's have a few drinks first, so that Zhong Huai won't even lose his interest in drinking later!" Wang Zhong picked up the wine glass and invited Gu Er to have a drink together.

Gu Er and Wang Zhong drank a glass, seeing that Wang Zhong was pouring wine back for himself, he couldn't help but stretch out his hand to block it, looked at Wang Zhong and said, "Zi Hou should make it clear first, otherwise the wine is meaningless to eat."

"Forget it!" Wang Zhong put down his wine glass and gave Yu Chuer a look, Yu Chuer immediately ordered: "Bring someone up."

The two prison guards immediately went inside, brought out a man whose hands and feet were bound with iron shackles, and made him kneel in front of them.

"It's you?" Gu Er looked at the man in front of him, his face changed drastically, and he was shocked: "Aren't you dead?"

The man immediately knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy, "Second Master Gu, spare your life, I didn't lie to you, it was Mannia, it was all her idea!"

"What do you mean?" Gu Er frowned, his eyes were full of shock, the first time he saw this man, Gu Er had already guessed it, but he didn't want to believe it.

The man had already been tortured once, so he dared not hide anything, and he confessed everything like a peacock: "It's Mannia, Mannia has taken a fancy to your status as the son of the Marquis Mansion, and is envious of the wealth of the Marquis Mansion. Chasing you all the way to Jiangzhou, Mannia also said that you are kind-hearted, and that you are most sympathetic, so she lied to you that I was dead and she was alone and helpless, so you were willing to take her in!
Second Young Master, it was all Mannia's idea, but I didn't do anything! "

A gambler like Zhu Dalang is most afraid of death, Wang Zhong can't bear it if he is tortured a little bit.

Yu Chuer brought a package and put it on the table, Wang Zhong said: "Zhong Huai opened it and have a look!"

Gu Er opened the package and saw that it was full of gold and silver jewelry, some he bought for Mannia, some left by his late mother, and a pair of long-lived gold locks he gave to Rong and Chang. , with the names of Sister Rong and Brother Chang engraved on it.

"Why are these things here?" Gu Er looked at Wang Zhong in shock and confusion.

Wang Chongdao: "It's all Zhu Manniang's pawnshop pawnshop. The second day of junior high school has people redeemed it. As for the money in exchange..."

Wang Zhong didn't continue talking, but just looked at Zhu Dalang who was kneeling on the ground next to him.

Gu Er still can't figure it out, the money must have been given to Zhu Dalang.

"It is reasonable to say that this is Zhonghuai's family affairs. I shouldn't care about it. I just can't bear Zhonghuai being deceived by others and being treated as a pastime. Now I have done what I should do. How to deal with things, Zhonghuai can figure it out Come on! I won't interfere!"

Wang Zhong bowed his hands to Gu Er, got up and left, Yu Chuer followed closely behind, only Gu Er, sitting on the bench, his face changed from cloudy to cloudy.

······
The scorching heat has subsided, and autumn is getting stronger, but Quanzhou is still the same as usual, and the sea salt is still being dried in full swing on the side of the salt farm.

Countless large ships returning from overseas trade are berthed in Quanzhou Bay, and businessmen from Fujian have also gathered in Quanzhou City, bringing the rich tea from Fujian, and taking away countless spices and precious wood brought back from overseas. and countless novelties.

The shipping department has already been on the right track, the ten apprentices that Wang Zhong brought from Yangzhou in the past, now two stay in the saltworks, and the rest are either working in the shipping department or temporarily working as small clerks in the yamen.

Rao is Wang Zhong, who is a general judge in one state, with great prestige, and he can't change the practice of the court. He can only let these registered disciples he brought be a small knife and pen official for the time being. It is impossible to let them be officials, because they are all No fame.

Even if you are the head of the county, you have to be famous to do it.

The establishment of Baishui Academy is too short, and so far only one scholar has emerged.

However, although Wang Zhong's registered disciples were not officials, no one in the entire Quanzhou, including the prefect Chen Jun, dared to despise them.

The autumn is cool and crisp, but the sun is not too small in broad daylight. Wang Zhong is wearing a straw hat, rolled up trousers, and straw sandals, leading his nieces and nephews to work on the newly built terraced fields the year before last.

This place was originally a barren mountain, and Wang Zhong planned to vigorously develop terraced fields in Quanzhou. He saw that the side of the mountain was surrounded by water, and there were three streams, one large, two small, and several natural wells, all of which flowed from cold groundwater. , the water quality is excellent, and the water in the stream is formed by the confluence of water from these wells.

This mountain was originally the private property of a wealthy local family, and was later bought by Wang Zhong.

Originally, there were more than a dozen mu of dry land on the mountainside, and [-] mu of paddy fields at the foot of the mountain, and they were all scattered and unsystematic. After Wang Zhong passed the exam, he felt that some areas could be converted into terraced fields, so he bought the whole mountain. It took more than two years to gradually complete the transformation by hiring common people to help open up wasteland, clearing the land, laying rocks and piling up soil.

In particular, the water channels are sorted out, and the water from two large, one small, and three streams is introduced into the fields for irrigation, and a series of irrigation canals are connected from top to bottom to form a system.

Nearly half of the area below the mountainside has been built into terraced fields, surrounded by mountains and forests. There is me in you, and you in me. The rest of the place has also been converted into dry land. The village became hundreds of acres large, and Zhuangzi was built at the foot of the mountain, and more than 50 tenant farmers were recruited.

They are also planted in waterways. There are two seasons a year. Early rice is planted in mid-to-late February and harvested around mid-June. Late rice is planted one month apart, and seedlings are planted in mid-to-late July, and harvested in mid-October.

Now that the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, the rice seedlings have just been planted in the field for more than a month, but the growth is quite gratifying, the seedlings are rising steadily, and the paddy fields are already green.

Today is not like the real world. There are so many chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Fortunately, Quanzhou has developed at a gratifying speed in recent years. Under the call of the yamen, the common people have started farming one after another, and the big households have built one after another. Farms, chickens and ducks are everywhere.

Wang Zhong also promoted the technology of septic tanks in the countryside, taught the people how to build livestock houses that are easier to collect livestock manure, and widely publicized the method of manure, telling all the people, so that the people can use all available manure Use everything to increase the fertility of the soil. Only in this way can more food be grown in the limited land.

He also used his medical books, which had vaguely touched the sixth level, to develop a lot of fertilizers and insect repellent potions and sprays.

On their own farm, they took Wang Qian'er, Zhang Xin, Zhang Yi brothers, and a few students who had just been sent from Yangzhou not long ago to cultivate and select high-yield and pest-resistant Dao species.

Although Wang Zhong knew agronomy, he was not a professional and had no experience in breeding. After all, there were so many dungeon worlds before, and Wang Zhong did not need to study breeding technology deliberately. The country has its own professional talents.

The only thing that can be said to have something to do with breeding is perhaps Wang Zhong's decades of experience in the "Old Farmer" copy.

In addition to seeds and chemical fertilizers, some advanced planting methods and planting models are also important reasons for increasing production.

Wang Zhong has been in this world for so many years, and he has already given these things to the farmers in Yangzhou and the eastern suburbs of Bianjing.

Leaving aside Yangzhou and Bianjing, only Quanzhou has gradually shown results in the past few years. The output of the field has not only doubled, but it has also increased year by year, especially with the increase in fertilizers and the popularization of fertilization technology among the people. , the field's year-on-year increase in output has stabilized. Compared with the previous one, the output per mu has increased by nearly [-]%.

The pursuit of the people is not high, nothing more than good weather, parents, wives, children, and the whole family are safe and healthy, and they don't have to worry about food and clothing.

On the ridge of the field, on the winding path that appears and disappears from time to time, Wang Zhong, who was wearing a coir raincoat, bamboo hat, straw sandals and trousers, walked in front, followed by Wang Qianer and others dressed in the same way. Ears pricked up, listening carefully to Wang Zhong's description of the joints.

Follow Wang Zhong down to the field to observe and record the changes of the rice seedlings.

Suddenly, a fast horse galloped up and stopped beside Zhuangzi at the foot of the mountain.

Gu Erfei got off his horse, asked Wang Zhong's location from the village account, and immediately went up the mountain to look for Wang Zhong.

After walking for half a stick of incense, I saw Wang Zhong and his party in the field.

"Zi Hou! Zi Hou!" Standing by the field, Gu Er shouted while waving.

"Zhonghuai?" Wang Zhong straightened up and followed the prestige, seeing that it was Gu Er, he waved his hand and responded loudly.
