Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 63

Chailin paused, and said: "Women are naturally weaker than men in terms of physical strength and courage. If you really want to practice some real kung fu in fighting, you will have to suffer a lot. These saber routines should be practiced every day. You only need to add more skills." Basic skills training in the army is relatively simple, that is, running, with a weight of [-] jin, running seven or eight miles a day, step by step, and then some confrontational training.” Chailin said briefly.

Hu Sanniang nodded and wrote down one by one.

Regarding Hu Sanniang's training of female soldiers, Chai Lin didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just a joke.

After breakfast, Chai Lin made up his mind that he had to go to Lijiazhuang nearby. Li Ying, the flying eagle, was considered a man. According to the original development path, in two or three years, Li Ying would be forced to go to Liangshan. Hei Saburo emptied his family and became Liangshan's father.If you want to say who is the richest in Liangshan, Hei Saburo must not be ranked.Lu Junyi from Daming Mansion and Li Ying from Lijiazhuang are the top few, and they were No. 11 in the big rankings, ahead of Lu Zhishen and Wu Song, which shows how strong this person is.

And Hu Cheng also said that they also have a caravan of [-] mules.

Chai Lin asked, "Sanniang, I'm going to visit Lijiazhuang after breakfast. I don't know if you're free. I'll be a guide."

Hu Sanniang said: "Lijiazhuang is on the southeast of our village, connected by a road, but only fifteen miles away. It will be there in a short time. It's not difficult. It's just that Li Yingzai, the owner of Lijiazhuang, is not at home. Like my elder brother, he has been in business all year round. The Li family's business is quite large, and the owner of Li Zhuang is good at using throwing knives, and there is a small hall in the world."

After breakfast, I didn't take many people with me, Chai Lin, Hu Sanniang, Chai Meng, Chunxiang, a group of four.They each rode fast horses, left Hujiazhuang, and headed southeast.

The rammed earth road is very flat, two carriages can run side by side, and even the pits made by the wheels are rare. Obviously, this road is often maintained.On both sides of the road are persimmon tree gardens as thick as a person. The leaves have already fallen, but red persimmons are still hanging on the treetops and swaying in the cold wind. Big chirping magpies are eating persimmons on the treetops.

Chai Lin expressed his feelings and sighed: "After autumn and winter, everything rests, only persimmon trees hang lanterns. I want to ask the farmers why they don't pick them, and leave them for the birds and animals to spend the cold winter."

"Good poems, good poems. I didn't expect Brother Yun Cong to be both literate and martial, and he could also write poems." Hu Sanniang said.

Chai Lin shook his head: "I feel it. You see, this persimmon is hung on the tree, and it has prepared food for the birds and beasts, so that they can linger in this cold winter and not die of freezing and starving. As for writing poems and lyrics It is of no benefit to the country or the people, and it is okay to have fun once in a while, not as a hobby."

Hu Sanniang said with a smile: "It's not that the farmers kindly left it for the birds and animals. It's too high to be harvested, haha. There are more than 5000 persimmon trees in the persimmon garden for more than ten miles. There are crispy and sweet persimmons, Mopan persimmons, beef persimmons There are many varieties of Xin persimmons, and my father and Li Ying’s father have planted them together for more than 30 years. Farmers sell persimmon cakes every year, and raising pigs with persimmons makes a lot of money.”

"It's rare that your father is still a good farmer who thinks about the people. This method is really second-hand. Among the fruit trees, persimmons are the most productive, and persimmon cakes are also considered high-end fruits. The remaining unprocessed persimmons are best used to raise pigs. Ordinary people can at least eat a few meals of meat during the Chinese New Year." Chai Lin sighed.

Shepherds drive cattle, horses and sheep to eat weeds and leaves in the persimmon garden, and there are dark pepper and jujube forests in the distance.There are also farmers who carry cow and sheep manure to fertilize trees. For farmers, there is no leisure time all year round.

Ordinary villagers rarely grow economic forests such as prickly ash and jujube, although they all know that they are expensive.However, because there is no unified planning by the owner, the people in each family grow too little, and it is difficult to attract merchants.It can't be compared to Hujiazhuang and Lijiazhuang. There is a caravan in the village, and you don't have to worry about selling as many dried fruits as you want. An excellent village owner must not only be able to protect the people, but also be able to make long-term plans for the welfare of the people.

Walking slowly all the way, it didn't take long before I saw a magnificent Zhuangzi in the distance. The walls of the village are all made of granite with uniform sizes and specifications. It can be more than five meters high, and there is even a female wall on the top of the wall. And Jiankou, the design and construction are also attentive.The black gate is covered with copper nails, and there are three big characters written on the mahogany plaque: Lijiazhuang.

The people who came in and out all had good clothes and looked good. Obviously, the living standard of Lijiazhuang people is still good.

"San Niang is here, whose house is this one visiting?" Zhuang Ding, who was on duty at the door, asked.

Hu Sanniang said: "I'm here to visit Master Li today. Chai Lin Chai from Cangzhou Prefecture is here to visit Master Li. I am the guide." Sanniang Hu introduced Chai Lin beside her.

This Zhuang Ding is also a knowledgeable person. The Chai Daguan of Cangzhou Chaijiazhuang is a descendant of the royal family of the previous dynasty, and he is well-known in the world.Lijiazhuang is in business, so he has naturally heard of the name of Chaijiazhuang.

Zhuang Ding immediately clasped his fists and said: "I have met Mr. Chai, you came just in time. My master just came back a few days ago. You wait for a while, I will go in and report."

Chai Lin cupped his fists and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

The Zhuang Ding trotted into the village, and after more than ten minutes, the gate of the village opened wide.Ten Zhuang Ding came out, surrounded by two middle-aged men, the head of which was wearing a black suit and a red cape, with a thick back and waist, tall and tall, with a bronze face like a knife and an axe, and a pair of sword eyebrows.The person next to him was of medium build, slightly stooped, both wearing square scarves, with pimples on his face, as if he was allergic to pimples, somewhat scary.

The first person is Zhuangzhu Li, and next to him is Du Xing, the butler of Zhuangzhu Li.

Sanniang said with a smile: "Master Li, why are you so polite today, you came out to welcome me."

Li Yingdao: "You girl, you still need me to greet you when you come, just go directly to the manor to drink tea, I'm here to meet the owner of Chai Manor."

Li Ying clasped his fists at Chai Lin and said: "Chai Zhuang Master came from a long way, Li Ying was late to greet him, please forgive me."

Chai Lin hurriedly returned the gift, saying: "Vendor Li is too polite, and Chai Lin is taking the liberty to visit, as long as Li Zhuang doesn't mind."

"Haha, Villa Master Chai, please come quickly." Li Ying turned sideways, and stretched out his hand to guide Chai Lin and others into the village.

The living room of Li's family is very large, with a typical northern style. The whole group sits separately as guests and hosts, and the maids serve tea.

Li Ying treated people very politely, and Du Xing seldom spoke next to him.

As soon as Chai Lin stretched out his hand, he took a brocade box from Chai Meng beside him, opened it and said, "Vendor Li, I came here in a hurry this time, and I only prepared a little gift, please don't be polite."

Du Xing'er was taken aback when he took the gift box, only to see that there were six exquisite throwing knives in the box.This flying knife is made of snowflake iron. The blade and handle are only one span long. The texture on the top is charming, and the handle is made of walnut.
