Yang Haiyan is entertaining Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Yang.

Although Lieutenant Lu and Lieutenant Yang are now in the seventh rank, the imperial court is responsible for allocating residences, so they don’t have a house in Yunxiang County. Logically speaking, they have to do it themselves. Buy or rent yourself.

‌‌, Colonel Lu ‌ Colonel Yang was a centurion before. He only had one tael of silver a month. He also had children to raise at home and asked them to save money to buy a house in the county. That ‌ is ‌‌ possible. Therefore, Yang Haiyan came out two courtyards away from the general's mansion to accommodate them.

The General's Mansion occupies a large area, and in Yang Haiyan's opinion, it is even larger than the village in Bianguan Manor. Therefore, even if two courtyards are separated for Xiaowei Lu and Xiaowei Yang’s family, it will not affect them at all.

Because the courtyard is separated and surrounded by walls, it is considered to be independent. If Commander Lu and Captain Yang's family wanted to come to the General's Mansion, they would have to walk around the wall of the General's Mansion, which would take a quarter of an hour.

땤 Moreover, on the other side of the wall between Xiaowei Lu's house and Xiaowei Yang's house is the orchard and vegetable garden of the General's Mansion, which is far away from the courtyard of the masters of the General's Mansion.

Because all the men in the family have returned, the two families have really settled down, so today they came to visit and brought some gifts to the General's Mansion to thank Yang Haiyan for letting them live in the other house. Of course, whether they buy a house or rent a house, it will always be a small expense.

They were happy to think that their husbands were now officials and their monthly salary was two silver taels.

What Mrs. Lu brought was bacon she had made herself. The recipe for this bacon was what Yang Haiyan told her when she visited the Centurion Family Area. Mrs. Lu said: "This bacon has just been cooked. I'll give it to you as a treat. You have to be disgusted. After all, you taught me this method."

Yang Haiyan asked Aunt Lian to collect the bacon: "How can I dislike it? I'm going to do it. There are so many things to do these days, and I've been delayed here and there, so I forgot about it. Speaking of which, I'm going to do it. ‌People who like to eat bacon.” Nowadays, very few people like to eat bacon.

Mrs. Yang said: "It turns out that you taught me the method. Lu Mei's cooking skills are really good. When our family tasted it, my son praised the delicious bacon." Mrs. Yang said. She knew how to do this, and what she sent was a suit of clothes she made by herself, from clothes to shoes, everything was ‌. The material of the clothes is good. It can be said that Mrs. Yang herself would wear such good material. "This is a dress I made myself. The weather is hot and it is suitable for this season. You must dislike it."

When Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Yang came to deliver things, they both knew each other. Their men all work under Qin Fang, and the relationship between the two families is not good, so they will discuss it when sending things. If the difference is too big, they look good to each other, so it is better to discuss it. .

The dress made by Mrs. Yang was a glazed red long skirt with a beautiful color. What surprised Yang Haiyan most was that Mrs. Yang’s embroidery skills were even better than hers. Her embroidery skills were left behind by the original owner. The original owner's embroidery skills were taught by the master in Taifu Yang's residence. The embroiderer who can go to Taifu Yang's residence can be said to be a famous teacher, so the original owner's embroidery skills are wrong. .

This is to see Mrs. Yang’s embroidery skills. She knows what master level is. "Your embroidery skills are as good as everyone else's." When she went to the border in the past, she felt that Mrs. Yang was just like any other centurion wife, and she knew more rules than the average centurion wife. Etiquette, and looking at her embroidery skills, Yang Haiyan is now convinced that Mrs. Yang's natal family must have some background.

Mrs. Lu took a few glances and couldn't help but admire: "Sister-in-law Yang's embroidery work is really good. For a rough person like me, let alone making clothes, I can touch a few handfuls of such soft materials. , I'm worried about damaging the material."

The embroiderer's hands are very particular. The embroiderer's hands must be soft and smooth, but as Mrs. Lu said, what should I do if she touches someone else's material? This hand is rough, and if you touch a good material, it will leave marks on the surface of the material, such as threading or something.

Following Mrs. Lu's words, Yang Haiyan looked at Mrs. Yang's hands. They were well-maintained and she saw that they were the hands of a worker.

This made Yang Haiyan even more interested.

Underneath Mrs. Yang's seemingly cheerful and quick personality, she should also have a delicate heart. 땤‌With such embroidery skills, the Yang family's 꿂떚 must be good. You must know that in ancient times, if the embroidery was good, the embroidery was very valuable. It seems that she used to overestimate herself and underestimate others. .

Mrs. Yang explained with a smile: "My mother used to be an embroiderer for a noble family, specializing in making clothes for the Lord. Later, she was almost married, and she had some problems, so she returned home to betrothed. 깊People. Later, my mother taught me embroidery since I was a child, so I learned some embroidery."

When Yang Haiyan heard this, she realized that this noble family specializes in embroidery work, and her level is average. 땤‌Such a standard means that if you leave a noble family, you will probably become an ordinary person. Furthermore, Mrs. Yang’s mother must be from the side of the body. Looking at Mrs. Yang’s hands, I’m afraid she was raised wrong since she was a child.

"Speaking of it, it is fate to marry my father-in-law. One time, when I was going out, I met a scoundrel, and it was my father-in-law who saved me, so we decided to get married." He saved her, and she fell in love with him. Even though there was a big gap in their identities at that time, she didn't dislike him. Mrs. Yang is good at embroidery and often sells her embroidery to subsidize the family, so the conditions of the Yang family are actually quite good. Now that Captain Yang is in good condition, she can stand out.

When Yang Haiyan listened to Mrs. Yang and Captain Yang, she felt like listening to a story. She felt that Lieutenant Yang was the male protagonist in a modern male video novel. He was a poor boy who was attracted by a rich family's daughter, and then cheated him all the way.

Mrs. Lu said: "That's really a good thing."

Yang Haiyan said: "‌‌늀Yes."

The three of them chatted for a while, and then came the voice of Aunt Lian: "Madam, Niu Da is back."

When she heard that Niu Da was back, Yang Haiyan was happy: "I'm finally back."

Seeing this, Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Lu said, "If you have something to do, let's not bother you and come back to visit you again."

Yang Haiyan did not keep them, but asked Aunt Lian to prepare some homemade kimchi and pickled radish for them.

The kimchi and pickled radish made by Yang Haiyan were delicious enough to serve as the meal. Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Lu ate a lot on the way to Yunxiang County from Border Pass, and they were very happy to receive the meal.

After they left, Yang Haiyan went to the fruit garden. Niu Dajing ordered people to transport the fruit trees into the fruit garden. When he saw Yang Haiyan coming, Niu Dajing went to salute: "See Mrs. Niu."

Yang Haiyan said: "Don't be too polite. You have worked hard along the way. You still have to work hard for a few days to plant these fruit trees so you can rest."

The cow laughed and said, "It's hard work. Seeing them grow well makes the people happy." A generation of old farmers like to watch their crops grow well.

Yang Haiyan knew that what he was most worried about was his two sons, so he didn't say much about him. He changed the subject to his sons: "As for your two sons, I, General, said that as long as They are in good health and can go there. If their bodies adapt to the training in the military camp, they can go to the vegetable garden in the military camp and serve as logistics soldiers. "

After saying this, Niu Da became more energetic: "Madam, I was talking to Niu Yi and Niu Er about this matter. Niu Yi was willing to go to the general's military camp, but Niu Er wanted to follow me. Farming. "My son wants to be a soldier, but he has no choice.

Yang Haiyan said: "From now on, the manor of the General's Mansion and the barracks will be handed over to your father. When you need to work in the fields, the guards in the mansion and the soldiers in the barracks will come in handy. You just need to Make arrangements for them."

Of course Niu Da had no objection to this: "Listen to my wife's arrangements."

Yang Haiyan thought: "How about giving Niu Er the identity of a military camp vegetable garden manager, so that he can get a monthly salary, get started in the future, and be able to work independently. It is a decent job." It's better than working with others. ‌Run well behind Niu Da.

Niu Da was moved at the moment and said: "This is what my wife wants me to do. Niu Er, come and thank my wife."

Niu Er is a simple and honest man. Except when he is a soldier and chooses to farm, he always listens to his father's arrangements. At this moment, he was listening to Yang Haiyan's arrangement as the manager of the military camp's vegetable garden. This position made him feel good about farming, and he felt that farming was great. "Thank you, ma'am."

Yang Haiyan smiled and said: "Thank me, and from now on, you can plant crops in the military camp so that the soldiers can eat well."

Niu Er: "I will definitely work hard."

In the evening, during dinner, Yang Haiyan and Qin Fang mentioned something about everyone.

Qin Fang had no objection: "Then let Niu Yi go to the military camp and Niu Er go to manage the crops in the military camp. Let Dr. Li check Niu Yi's body first."

After Doctor Li moved to Yunxiang County, he lived in the General's Mansion. Yang Haiyan gave him a hospital, and Doctor Li became the doctor of the General's Mansion. It turned out that Yang Haiyan wanted to match him with a servant, but he refused, and now he and Miss Li are in his hospital. Miss Li has been influenced by his ears and eyes, and knows some medical skills, and now he is there. She helped Dr. Li and waited for his medicine boy.

Dr. Li is only the official doctor of the General's Mansion, and he is responsible for the physical examination of the soldiers in the military camp. Although Qin Fang didn't know anything about physical examinations, medical examinations, etc., it was because Yang Haiyan was more concerned about his body, so he applied this method to the soldiers in the military camp, and soaked the soldiers every day. He gave medicated baths to ‌‌, and ‌ checked their bodies every ‌, which was fine.

It must be said that the arrangement of this arrangement by the military camp has led to more Han people coming to apply for soldiers, because ordinary people do not have the ability to see a doctor every time, so the military camp can provide soldiers every time. Providing a free physical examination is a benefit that ordinary people seek. Therefore, they are all willing to come because of this benefit.

Yang Haiyan said: "Well, I will tell Niu Da. If Niu Yi is in good health, let him report to the military camp tomorrow."

Qin Fang: "Okay. The military camp will be fully built in half a month. When will the military camp manor start?"

Yang Haiyan: "I know this. You have to ask Niu Da to see what his arrangements are. At present, the food that the soldiers eat is purchased from the countryside. Not to mention, the people in Yunxiang County have really saved a lot of food. . If you eat it up, you can save it for a long time, such as sweet potatoes and dried potatoes.

Qin Shoucheng listened to them and interjected: "The military camp is purchasing food this time. Is it possible to buy back all the food accumulated by the people?"

Yang Haiyan said: "Yes. ‌‌‌늀一‌, 누깊the second half of ‌, the crops in the military camp and the manor are all harvested, but at that time, there was still no one to buy the food for the common people."

Qin Shoucheng was curious: "Then we can buy the people's food and use the manor for other purposes?"

Yang Haiyan smiled and shook her head: "Your idea is good. It is cheaper for us to grow our own food than to buy it. And this is two days a day, and one or two days. In the long run, it is not cost-effective to buy it. Besides, they have to think of ways to sell the food themselves. They cannot wait for others to find ways to do things that are beneficial to them. After all, this is the case. They own it, the food is theirs, and the money they receive is theirs. "So, they can expect others to find solutions for them.

Qin Siya explained: "Brother, why do you think so much? This is our family's business." Qin Siya thinks so much. She is a person who is not easily satisfied. She only wants to eat That’s it.

Qin Shoucheng didn't say anything. He was a man, so of course Qin Siya had the same idea.

Qin Fang looked at Qin Shoucheng and said, "If you want to change this situation, there is nothing you can do."

Qin Shoucheng hurriedly asked: "What can we do?"

Not to mention Qin Shoucheng, Yang Haiyan looked at Qin Fang curiously, "It's so rare, he would think about this."

Qin Fang said: "When you have the ability, you can change this situation. You don't have the ability now. You can only rely on others to change. Why do others help them change? So? If you work hard on your own, if you have enough ability and trust others, you will be able to change yourself. You can study hard, take the exams for talents, and take the imperial examinations, and then you can become a local official and wait for you. As a local official, you have the responsibility and the ability to make changes for everyone.”

Yang Haiyan understood that this was Qin Fang’s method of education.

Qin Shoucheng nodded heavily: "Well, I will work hard."

After dinner, Qin Fang came to Niu Da, and the two discussed matters about the military camp manor. It was now the end of April, and the barracks and the manor could not be delayed, so after discussion, a pair of the 800 soldiers from the barracks were assigned to work in the manor.

In the blink of an eye, a month went by and it was the end of May.

Only the military camp in Yunxiang County has been built, and the entire military camp estate of 1,000 acres has been planted with crops. Because for soldiers, food is more important, and vegetables and the like are secondary. Of the 1,000 acres of land, except for 200 acres of top-quality land, the remaining 800 acres are grown in Sweet potato‌potato. Potatoes in May will produce a good harvest in August. Sweet potatoes are harvested in May and harvested in October. Due to its location, these two hundred acres of high-quality land were converted into paddy fields by Niuda, which is just perfect for growing rice in May. Rice in May will have a good harvest in October.

Counting a thousand acres of paddy field, it was managed by hundreds of soldiers from the military camp. It took three or four days to complete the entire paddy field. I have to say that this speed was fast enough.

The thousands of acres of land, except for Niu's family who lived in the military camp manor, were guarded by soldiers in turns. Each group of people guarded the land for ten days, and one group consisted of one hundred people.

Although no one dares to act recklessly in the military camp manor, they are the ones who need to work. So while the soldiers take turns to guard, they also take turns to work.

The manor of the military camp is in charge of Niu괗, and the manor of the general's mansion is in charge of Niu Da. There were more than 160 apple and pear trees when they were transported to the General's Mansion. A month later, only 100 or more trees were planted, and 40 trees were still alive. Several trees died. In addition to apple and pear trees, the Jiangjunfu Fruit Garden also grows watermelons. This time, the watermelon seeds were divided into two batches. One batch was provided by Yang Haiyan, and the rest were planted, which were platform seeds, falsely claiming to be tourist seeds. Also, Niu Da collected and purchased a batch of them himself. Regardless of whether it was watermelon, cauliflower, broccoli, or tomato, Niu Da collected seeds. Who knows whether these seeds can be successfully planted? The seeds really need to be collected and then pondered slowly.

However, Yang Haiyan can always use traveling business as an excuse. They didn't go to the Yongzhou market today, so they couldn't come up with other kinds of seeds.

Eastern Suburb Military Camp

"General, a hundred soldiers have been arranged and will set off immediately." Captain Yang gathered a hundred soldiers. Today, Qin Fang is going to go up to investigate the situation. Wild animals will come out every season. If this situation is solved, the county wall will be repaired in vain.

Qin Fang hummed: "Everyone, get ready and set off with me." After saying that, he got on his horse and said, "Let's go... drive..."

He has a horse, but a soldier doesn't have a horse. Qin Fang set out from the Yongzhou military camp in March. He was only given fifty ordinary horses there, so the horses in the military camp were very heavy. An ordinary horse costs sixty taels of silver. If a thousand people match it, they will get six thousand taels of silver.

"Drive..." Tao 껚 followed Qin Fang.

Lieutenant Yang led his men and ran after him: "Everyone, get ready to go."

"Set off."

The remaining 900 people stayed at the military camp, watching Qin Fang and others getting further and further away.

Lieutenant Lu said: "Everyone stands guard, even if there are no enemies here, we can still relax. The general said that if they come back with a big harvest, everyone will drink broth."

"Drink broth... drink broth..."

The soldiers were excited.

beast

I don't know why. The closer he gets to the beast, the more Qin Fang feels panicked. This is intuition. This intuition speaks for itself. He felt as if someone was watching him under the beast's feet.

There is actually a large field under the beast's feet, and these fields originally belonged to the people. It is now deserted because people don’t have the guts to plant here for fear of wild beasts running down and eating people.

Just when Qin Fang was about to dismount, Wu Shuai came over with some security measures. Qin Fang touched its head: "Don't worry, I'll go up and check the area. You can go further away later and I'll come back to you."

Wu Shuai 꺗뇽깊 sounded a few times before he calmed down.

Qin put down his horse and said, "Go, walk a little further, and come back later."

Wu Shuai said "뇽깊" several times, rubbed his head against Qin Fang, and refused to go away.

Tao 껚: "Wu Shuai is so smart."

Qin Fang hummed, grabbed a handful of soybeans from his bag, put it on a plate, and then put it on the ground: "Eat it, go and stay aside when you're done. I'll give it to you after half the rice is finished." Eat rice. "Wu Shuai is well-fed, because the horse's digestive system is very good, so its food is very particular. It's not just Wu Shuai, in fact, all the horses in the military camp are raised more finely than humans. It's better to starve a person than to starve a horse.

Wu Shuai smelled the soybeans, then opened his mouth to eat them.

Qin Fang began to investigate the area. During this investigation, he found some clues. You can see the excrement of some animals under your feet, and you can see that these animals often urinate. Then, Qin Fang approached 껚. The grass on the 껚 was very dense. Such dense grass could easily hide dangerous beasts, so Qin Fang was not in a hurry to get up. He pulled out his knife and chopped down the grass in a few strokes.

Seeing this, Tao took out his sword and started to chop the grass: "General, the grass is so lush, this beast really hasn't been here for a long time."

Qin Fang said: "Yes, if people came often, the grass and trees under their feet would have been picked up by the people as firewood. However, this is important. The important thing is, since this beast is ‌괗Ten ‌No one has set foot in 깊. There are so many prey here. Why do wild beasts attack the county town during the 깊늳 season and not eat this weak animal? For these wild beasts, this is what it should be? ”

Tao 껚 smiled naively: "General, why didn't I think of this truth at the beginning? General, they must have done this for some reason."

When Qin Fang spoke again, he cut down all the lush grass in the area.

"General..." Captain Yang arrived with a hundred soldiers.

Qin Fang said: "Take them to check it out. I found that there are wild beast excrement here. Judging from the dry and wet conditions, it should be left in recent days. So, there will be wild beast excrement here at any time." Get down, be careful they will attack you."

Captain Yang: "Yes."

Lieutenant Yang divided a hundred people into ten teams, with ten people in each team. If something happened, a signal flare would be sent out. The soldiers were well trained and separated to patrol.

On the first day, everyone found nothing except cutting grass, because the weeds that were taller than a person blocked too much of their sight, and their ears heard some noise when they left. , nothing was found.

The soldiers who moved quickly opened their bows and shot pheasants and rabbits blindly. Some even found a few wild eggs, but nothing else could be found.

At the end of the day, they cut down a large area of ​​grass nearby, and it looked clean underfoot.

Captain Yang: "General, it's getting dark soon. Shall we stay up here tonight?"

Qin Fang said: "‌, bring some hares."

Captain Yang understood that he was bringing a few bleeding hares.

Qin Fang said: "Make a few sinkholes near the ‌, make it deeper."

Lieutenant Yang immediately ordered the soldiers to make a trap nearby. After the trap was made, Qin Fang threw the hare into the trap. He threw several hares in total, and some of them were sprinkled with medicinal powder.

Colonel Yang couldn't help but ask: "General, what is this?"
