Pinellia pastoral

272 - One Heart

Seeing their reaction, Ban Xia understood that none of them had heard of this.

While secretly hating myself for not thinking of it earlier, she was also a little fortunate.

Reclamation has existed since ancient times, and it can be regarded as a flexible policy. Even in the era when Pinellia lived, there were production and construction corps, which developed production and defended the border at the same time.

It may not be suitable for the place in the northwest where there are constant battles, but for the place where they are, most of the time, there is no need for so-called military operations, they are just guarding, and they need to be used at critical moments. From this point of view, reclamation seems to be tailor-made for this purpose.

Lin Sa frowned, murmured these two words secretly, thought for a while, but still couldn't understand it.

Once Ban Xia figured it out, the whole person suddenly became enlightened. Seeing that they hadn't been exposed to this, he quickly explained: "Brother Lin, this reclamation is actually stationed, reclaimed land and planting things, and don't waste training. Since the things we have can feed so many people, we won’t panic when we actually go to war.”

"This... can it work?" Lin Sa was a little suspicious.

The acceptance of new things always needs a process. This is the first time it is proposed, and they do not object, which means it is good.

Ban Xia continued, "It may not be possible for the northwest, but it is possible for our side. Brother Lin, have you heard Brother Yan say that even refugees need to be placed in various banners, and they need to do it themselves to have food. .”

"Well, this is possible."

"Since that's the case, there are lands and people, and it's not like fighting all day long. Could it be possible that the living will starve to death?" Ban Xia blinked and said.

The more I talk about it, the more I think it's doable.

At this time, Ban Xia didn't know that the settlement brought a lot of benefits, and even shocked the entire court, this is a later story.

"Then let's just do this directly?" Lin Sa still didn't quite believe that the matter could be resolved so quickly.

On the other hand, Zhang Liu, who has been in this village for a long time, also knows about farming, but his words are a bit vulgar, "Why not? Can a living person be suffocated to death by urine? I'll be fine just looking at it!" "

Lin Sa thought for a while, and then nodded, "But if it's farming, how can we prepare in such a short time? This?"

This is turning the corner. The Ban Xia he asked is not worried at all. In her previous life, she also went to the farm that used to be an army for a while, so she is really not unfamiliar with this.

"Brother Lin, the advantage of this is not only being able to survive, but also being able to survive like normal people. Didn't you say that something has been planted outside, which is similar to the cassava plant you said? This person can be replaced, and he needs to retire Don’t those who have children still have military households? That being the case, they can be divided into military settlements and civilian settlements. On your side, how did you survive in the past? There will always be traces left. Our shops and workshops can also be counted. Those villages that help grow things, even if they are civilian settlements, it will not be that we help the military camp at that time, but the military camp can not only fight wars, but also let the local people Live a good life, what do you think?"

Lin Sa understood completely, her eyes sparkled.

Thinking about what Ban Xia said, Zhang Liu became even more excited. After all, he came from the most difficult days, "It's a good feeling! If we had this back then, our brothers... are lucky..." A big man, when he said this, he almost burst into tears.

Ban Xia's eye sockets were also a little wet, "Uncle Zhang, it doesn't matter, the problem we mentioned at the beginning can be solved better, if it is true that there is nothing to come back, it will be arranged directly in the village, and the things that are planted will always need manpower Processing, such as those who prepare quilts and cotton clothes, and those who prepare dry food."

In this way, it would be great for the disabled veterans to live together in one place with their livelihoods.

"When the reclamation was done, it was divided into various places, and it was only stipulated how many days to practice once. When they were old, they could marry a wife and have children. The wife and children lived in the back, and they also worked in the middle. When they grew up, they were still guarding the border. This is how generations change. , if life is good, no one will reject this." Ban Xia said.

Yuan Guang's mind turned quickly. He was silent just now, but now he nodded in agreement after listening, "So, for example, in our village, we are all behind, and we can provide some supplies when there is a war. , For example, only let people between the ages of 15 and 22 practice more diligently. If there is a real war at that time, they will go to the battlefield, and they will have more things on weekdays. Those who are three to thirty years old also need to practice, but they don’t need to be so diligent, and when they are really not enough, they can make up for it, which is very good!”

Ban Xia twitched the corners of her mouth, Yuan Guang is powerful enough, isn't this the active duty and reserve duty?
She didn't say anything, but Zhang Liu hesitated to speak, "So, Ban Xia, have you thought about it, when the time comes, the things in this shop may not necessarily belong to your family?"

Ban Xia really didn't think about this problem.

Before she could speak, Su Youli made a statement, "We are living well enough now, and Ban Xia also said that there are so many shops, and we only occupy a part of them. If it really messes up, many shops will disappear. , don’t worry about it.”

Zhang Liu and Lin Sa were very moved by what they said.

Lin Sa said: "Didn't Banxia say Mintun and Juntun before? Even if this is a cooperation, there are still these prescriptions that should not be underestimated. They should not be classified as Gongzhong."

The matter was almost settled, and Lin Sa breathed a sigh of relief.

The news was sent out overnight, so as not to worry on the other side.

The few of them can't be separated immediately, and there are still many details to be considered.

In the past few days, Lin Sa, Zhang Liu, Su Youli and the others went out for a stroll again, and the outside was still safe and sound, because the street of Su’s house was bustling with traffic, and seeing that nothing was going on, other shops continued to open , I can't live without it.

Those who fled were also living a stable life. The younger ones were guarding a place ten or twenty miles away from the county seat, helping to report news and earn a little hard money.

Just wait for something to go wrong, this end can pack up and run away.

In this way, except for the tense expression when talking about it, there is not much difference from usual.

Because of this, those who fled quickly integrated into the life here, and even if it was peaceful, they all stayed. They will never forget that when they fled to this place, they were told that this area was abandoned. , the despair that penetrates into the bones, and the girl who is always smiling, and the kind people in this place, who gave them everything to live.

In this tense and apprehensive time, the days are still peaceful.

"Brother Huan, it's freezing, come and have a bowl of rice noodles."

It is not an easy task to keep watch day and night, but for them, taking turns to watch is much better than fleeing in the open.

At the snail noodle shop, as long as they are guarding outside and pass by when changing people, they can always come in and eat for free.

The guy named Huan smiled foolishly and shook the earthen pot in his hand, "I ate it at Granny Hu's stall, and I took it back to my younger sister."

The shopkeeper stopped barking. He knew that Granny Hu’s stall had been there for many years, but she was getting older these years. They lived on the mountain, and some people came down to do the work. Seeing Granny Hu like this, on weekdays The work of chopping firewood and carrying water has been done a lot, and we get along very well.

I am very emotional, the arrival of this group of people did not make the place chaotic, but it became more harmonious.

In the face of adversity, people are surprisingly united as one.

"That's good, then take this back."

Prepared is a basket.

Brother Huan quickly waved his hand.

The shopkeeper continued, "It was originally agreed. When you come back, you can come to our place to get something to eat. Our business is very good. Could it be that you don't like the taste?"

He said that on purpose, so Brother Huan would have the nerve to shirk it.

"That's right, if you don't want to eat, just take it back with you, there will always be a time when it will be useful." The shopkeeper said when he saw that he had taken it.

The wind outside is still cold, but Brother Huan's heart is warm, and his steps are exceptionally steady.

After living here for a period of time, he is already familiar with him, so he walked out of the city.

It turns out that as long as the direction is right, it doesn't matter if it is farther away.Now, he knows that this road leads to home.

Here, too, they have a home.

After a while, he finally arrived at the foot of the ridge. Looking at the huts on the ridge, his heart felt warm again, and he quickened his pace.

The woman in the room was busy, and the younger siblings squatted in the room making noise, he grinned, "Mother, daddy hasn't come back yet?"

The woman quickly asked him to warm up in front of the stove, poured another bowl of boiling water for him to drink, and said happily, "Your father came back, and later the other side of the workshop called to discuss matters. Everyone has gone, I think it's a good thing!"

Hearing this news, Brother Huan was also happy, and the woman said to Brother Huan at this time, "My mother-in-law is old, why do you always want her things?"

"Mother, I secretly put half of the wages I got today there. Even if I bought it, I haven't eaten these things for a long time."

The woman didn't say anything. Now there is still a big bag of cassava in the house. The head of the family went out with the eldest son to carry the work, and it was enough to eat. When I went to open the suitcase, I found that there were several layers, one layer was hot and soft. The rice noodles are boiled, the other layer is the stewed meat with bean curd sticks and eggs, and the bottom layer is the soup. Just add water to boil and you can eat it.

"This...how did you get back so much?" It was enough for a whole family.

Brother Huan didn't know this at the time.

The woman sighed again, "It's also because we met a good man. In other places, we don't know how many families can survive."

After sighing, the woman taught her children not to forget their roots.

While talking, Brother Huan returned home, feeling very cold and excited, "His mother! Our family can also contribute to the war!"
