Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 368

The same harvest scene was staged on Taohua Mountain. Li Zhong and Zhou Tong, two mountain kings, led more than [-] minions. In fact, they can now be renamed Tuntian soldiers. Stop it, don't rob, don't disturb the people, the backbone of the team is the grassroots officers sent by the Cangzhou township soldiers.

3000 people worked hard all winter. Due to the lack of livestock and low work efficiency, only [-] mu were planted when potatoes were sown. Because there were not enough seeds, only [-] mu were planted. At that time, it was considered that there was not enough food.

As a result, I am dumbfounded now. Since it is the first year of planting, potatoes like raw land very much. It's potatoes.

Li Zhong said with a bitter face: "For 3000 people, each person eats two catties a day, which is only six thousand catties. It will take several years to eat it all. I never thought that one day there would be endless food."

Zhou Tong said: "This is just the beginning, and the most terrible time has not yet come. Don't forget, after the potatoes are harvested, corn will be planted, and there are still [-] acres of sweet potatoes. By then, even the food in Juyi Hall will have to be piled up." The beams are so high."

"Today, I sent a secret letter to ask my brother to arrange it and see how to deal with it. I must sell some potatoes, otherwise when will I eat them?" Li Zhong said.

Now Taohuashan has secretly surrendered to Chaijiazhuang, so naturally it is not easy to deal with it casually, and must obey Chai Lin's arrangements.

Soon Chailin wrote back and exchanged with the local caravan.

Although there are many poor people in Qingzhou, there are also many rich people.In exchange for a catty of sorghum rice and a catty of potatoes, Taohuashan exchanged 500 million catties of sorghum rice, completely realizing food freedom.Then the breeding pigs were expanded through the trading company, and hundreds of pigs and thousands of sheep were purchased.

The people in Peach Blossom Mountain are boiling, this is not a cottage, this is simply a village of local tyrants.

Li Zhong's face was full of joy. Although his nickname was "Tiger Fighter", he knew his own skills. At best, he was a role in the rivers and lakes.

After harvesting potatoes, [-] acres of corn were planted, and the remaining [-] acres were planted with [-] acres of sweet potatoes and [-] acres of peanuts.Sweet potatoes and peanuts do not like heavy cropping, so they are rotated every year.

Today Zhou Tong led three hundred elite soldiers to guard the mountain. 700 people weeded the sown land. Li Zhong led [-] minions to deal with a piece of sandy land in the lower reaches of the river beach with shovels and pickaxes.

Reclaiming wasteland is not easy, first dig away the big rocks, and then cut off the grass roots.

A small leader said: "The master, this land is completely undeveloped, what are you doing?"

Li Zhong said: "You guys know the game. We've been working on these two thousand acres of land for half a month, and we'll get it right away. We've got it set up to grow cotton."

"Cotton, is it delicious?" You Luo asked.

"It doesn't taste good, but it can be made into cotton-padded jackets, which can be made into larger jackets to keep you warm, so as not to freeze you to death in winter." Li Zhong said.

Everyone laughed and said: "Winter is here, eating baked potatoes and wearing big cotton jackets, it's not cold anymore."

Li Zhong said: "The cotton seedlings have grown by a stroke, so I will work harder. I will make clothes for everyone if I collect more or less. I, Li Zhong, can't wear more clothes. Think about your life before, and think about it again." Think about life now."

Someone started to sob and said, "Don't talk about the boss, let's work hard."

This reminded them of their sad past, and they all rolled up their sleeves and worked hard.

There are quite a lot of things grown in Taohuashan. In addition to potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes and peanuts, there are also a small amount of various vegetables, pumpkins, carrots and so on.Chai Lin's positioning for Taohuashan is not just self-sufficiency, but a big granary.Potatoes and sweet potatoes are not easy to store, but corn can be stored for a long time.

Don't look at Chai Lin who manages Dead Leaf Island outside Numa Island, but except for the workshop in Cangzhou, everything else is very low-key.Soldiers wear leather armor and helmets woven from bamboo.Cangzhou soldiers have been operating within the sphere of influence of dozens of miles from the vicinity of Chaijiazhuang to the port, and more are still scattered and hidden in various workshops and islands.

The outside world thinks that Chai Lin is just a servant with more than a thousand people. This kind of strength abounds in Song Dynasty.

Chailin wanted to keep a low profile, but someone kept him from keeping a low profile.

Let's talk about Gao Yanei, because he was tricked by Taoist Ling Yun in Tokyo City, he inexplicably bears a huge debt of 300 million.

Although the old man Gao Qiu is powerful, but he can't stand to offend so many people that Gao Yanei can't stay in Tokyo City any longer.In desperation, Gao Qiu arranged for Gao Yanei to come to Gaotang Prefecture. The prefect of Gaotang Prefecture was called Gao Lian, Gao Qiu's cousin.

To say that Gao Lian still knows how to advance and retreat. In the two years since he came to Gaotang Prefecture, Gao Lian has been very low-key and reclusive.In fact, Gao Lian was very scheming. He selected five hundred strong men from Hebei and Shandong to train a fire-breathing army.

It's very easy to play, with a big iron gourd on its back, which can breathe fire outwards, pretending to be a ghost.

In fact, there is no technical content, the refined fire oil is just sprayed out through pressure.

No matter how powerful this person is, he doesn't know how high the sky is and the earth is thick. Gao Lian's brother-in-law Yin Tianxi and Gao Yanei were drinking in Yin Tianxi's back garden that day.

Yin Tianxi hated it to the core, and said, "That boy Chai Ze is so lucky. I can't imitate the waterwheels he sells. I can't imitate his mill. No one else can imitate his mill. He almost monopolizes Gaotang. The rice noodle processing business in Tianguang is five or six thousand catties of leftovers from rice bran and bran, and there are mountains and seas of pigs to raise."

Gao Yanei looked up and said, "Isn't their workshop right next to your wall? You can still hear the sound."

"No, I was so angry that I couldn't sleep when I heard the sound at night." Yin Tianxi said.

Gao Yanei said: "It's not easy. If you grab it, it's ours."

Yin Tianxi said: "This city of Chai is nothing. A hundred or so servants can turn the world upside down. It's just that his nephew, a senior official from Cangzhou Chai, is very powerful. He is very rich in the world. He has fifteen hundred elite soldiers under his command. I'm afraid it's not easy to mess with. .”

Gao Yanei laughed and said: "There are only 500 people, what are you afraid of? We have [-] elite soldiers from Gaotang Prefecture, and [-] Vulcan soldiers. He still fails to bring troops to Gaotang. That's a rebellion, give him courage He didn't dare."

Yin Tianxi hesitated, that's right, Gaotang is his territory, this is not two years ago, Gao Lian was new here two years ago, and he couldn't figure out the way to Gaotang, now Gaotang is firmly established Gao Lian held it in his hand.

"Done."

The two boys got drunk, took seven No. 80 Ding Hao and started to do it, directly tearing down the fence, first tearing down the fence of his own house, and then demolishing the fence of Chai Ze's house.

Yin Tianxi's idea was simple and crude. By connecting Chai Ze's garden with his own, his family's grain processing workshop would be his own, and the four coveted machines would be his own.

The Chai family didn't just eat rice, they immediately felt something was wrong, Chai Cheng was trembling with anger, Chai Ze greeted, called two or three hundred family members, and started fighting in the back garden.

He was not good at fighting, and he was not good at swearing. Although he didn't even use a knife, a dozen or so people started using the shovel handle in his hand. Chai Ze was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and hit Gao Yanei on the head.

Yin Tianxi said: "You are so bold, do you know who he is?"

"Whoever dares to demolish Lao Tzu's garden, do it first."
