Don't panic, the family boss is busy farming

The soldiers rode on horses, intentionally training these prisoners who could not lift their hands and shoulders in advance, and then slowly increased their speed.

The prisoners ran from running to running in an instant.

After running for a short distance, someone began to howl uncontrollably. The soldiers looked at their insignificant physique with contempt, drank them up, and slowed down a little.

Gongsun Baoyue sat on the bumpy prison car, and no longer complained that she couldn't be a man, and was very grateful that she was a woman.

The prison car drove through the fields in the suburbs, and Gongsun Baoyue realized why Xu's soldiers in the city were almost all female soldiers and not many male soldiers.

It turned out that the male soldiers were all brought into the fields.

They are teaching the redistributed farmers how to tend the crops in the fields.

The farmers were all smiles, looking at the allocated fields, seeing their teeth but not seeing their eyes, and the farms in the suburbs were full of joy.

Gongsun Baoyue had never seen a farmer who smiled so happily. She used to go out to inspect the palace, her eyes were full of melancholy, and she numbly hoeed the land under her body, like a soulless shell.

She kindly stepped forward to strike up a conversation, but the other party knelt down in fear and said, "Your Excellency is well." He continued to remain silent.

Because no matter what they do, it is futile.

The fields do not belong to them, and the food grown does not belong to them. There is no hope for such a life.

Zhao was injured in the Battle of Jizhou earlier, so he stayed in Jizhou and joined Lu Meng to deal with the old men of the Runan Group.

Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei followed Xu Yue and Xu Dalang to Bingzhou.

After the northern capital was broken, Sun Ashan and other insurgents were divided into two, and part of them followed Xu Daqian to pursue the fleeing Zhao Yuanji and others.

The other half, under the leadership of Xu Dalang, quickly cleaned up the leading groups of the counties and counties of Bingzhou, and took over the transformation tasks of the counties and counties of Bingzhou on the spot.

It is now April, and there is still time to plant hybrid rice, so the task of the insurgents is to complete the cultivation of low-yielding grains such as corn instead of hybrid rice in Bingzhou where hybrid rice is suitable.

If people want to eat, they can transport grain from Youzhou to feed millions of people in Bingzhou and Jizhou this year, but it is absolutely impossible to feed them in Jizhou next year.

If you want to eat enough, you have to rely on yourself.

There are many places suitable for growing rice in Jizhou, and the natural geographical advantages are here. Gongsun An (uncle), who is responsible for the Xu family's rations, does not agree.

However, Bingzhou does not have as good water conservancy conditions as Jizhou. All the Xu family soldiers on the outskirts of the northern capital of Bingzhou are just instructing farmers how to better cultivate drought-resistant wheat and corn.

At the same time, they were asked to open up the vacant land in advance, and they will be planted immediately when the new crop seeds from Youzhou are delivered.

The new crops include the potatoes exchanged by Xu Yue, and the cotton that has been planted in Youzhou for a long time.

These two crops will be delivered in mid-April, and if the speed is fast enough, they can barely catch up with the season.

The land in Bingzhou is not suitable for growing rice, but it is suitable for growing potatoes and cotton.

They can exchange potatoes and cotton for rice and flour from Jizhou and Youzhou, and they can have enough food.

At this moment, the Little Ice River has not yet arrived, and most areas north of the Yellow River have abundant rainfall and a warm climate. Jizhou can completely grow two crops of rice.

Not to mention Youzhou, owning the Great Northeast Plain, even if it is only planted for one season, the high yield of hybrid rice is enough to support itself, and there is still a surplus to support Bingzhou.

Xu Yue, who has done the economic calculations, understands why the heroes of all parties want to win the three prefectures of Ji, You, and Bing, because in this historical period, the north is richer and more populous than the south.

With population and land, more off-duty soldiers can be supported. In this era dominated by manpower warfare, the side with more troops has a natural advantage.

During the Three Kingdoms period, why the Shu Kingdom failed with Zhuge Kongming was because the territory of the Shu Kingdom was too small to compete with Cao Wei who occupied the five northern states.

Innate conditions determine the failure of Shu, and sometimes fate is so helpless.

Gongsun Baoyue sitting in the prison car didn't know what happened in the other parallel world. She only knew that if the escaped Zhao Yuanji and others failed to get help from Xiliang's Ma family, the world might really fall into Xu's death. home.

Now that the Xu family's army is sitting in three states, it is enough to fight against the largest force in the south - the Cao family.

Cao De probably wouldn't sit idly by and let the Xu family's army grow stronger. Right now, Xiliang has become the key.

Whoever wins Xiliang first can put the other party to death!
The Ma family in Liangzhou is in danger.

Xuzhou Xudu.

In April, the temperature rises, and in the bustling Xudu, pedestrians put on cool and unlined clothes and are busy making a living.

At this time, two days had passed since Sima Fang disembarked from Qingzhou and arrived in Xudu by car.

He first disembarked at Qingzhou Wharf, and after leaving the comfortable big boat, he returned to Xudu by carriage.

Sima Fang suffered from seasickness at first, but now that his seasickness has healed, he actually started to get motion sickness.

On the way back to Xudu, Sima Fang was unbearably bumped by the carriage, and lost five catties.

Originally, on the first day he arrived in Xudu, he should have burned incense and bathed before entering the palace to meet the emperor and the prime minister, and report to them what he saw and heard in Youzhou.

But His Majesty is merciful, because of his old age, he asked someone to come and inform him, let him go home and rest first, and then enter the palace to see him after he recovers.

Now lying at home and resting for two days, Sima Fang finally regained some energy.

His superiors were generous, but he didn't dare to rest anymore. Seeing that the weather was just right today, he ordered someone to deliver a post to the palace early in the morning. Now that he finished his breakfast, he tidied up his clothes and prepared to enter the palace.

"Master, the prime minister won't blame you for dressing like this to see the prime minister, right?" Mrs. Sima looked worriedly at the strange clothes on her husband, and reminded.

This is a linen garment brought by Sima Fang from Youzhou. It is divided into two parts. The top is a button-down short-sleeved shirt with narrow sleeves, which is somewhat similar to the Tang suit worn by old men in later generations.

The lower body is a pair of ordinary trousers, the trousers are wide and wide, and the linen is ventilated, which is very cool.

The only special thing is that there is no need to wear a belt at the top of the trousers, and the wooden buckle on the side can be fastened, which is very light.

Sima Fang spent a winter in Youzhou. At first he disliked Xu Jiajun's strange uniform, but after wearing it, it really smells good.

On the return trip this time, I saw the spring and summer clothes sold in advance in the Youzhou tailor shop, so I bought many sets back.

Not only are there the ones he is wearing now, but he also brought two sets with him, which he will dedicate to His Majesty and the Prime Minister in a while.

They are all similar styles, and they are still very comfortable to wear at home in the hot summer.

Hearing his old wife's worried question, Sima Fang waved his hands and said he was fine, and after a while he put on a Confucian shirt on his head before going out.

"No one will see, old wife, don't worry."

He was able to bring the Sima family to its current position, and he knew what he could and couldn't do.
