Pingzhou, Xiangping
The Qin family had made great contributions to Quyuan Li, so Mo Lianfeng asked the Qin family to continue pulling weeds, and did not assign them a workload, so they could pull weeds leisurely.
Of course, there are also some people with dark minds who don't want others to feel better, so they go to report to the supervising stewards. But the stewards have obviously been greeted by others and ignored them. They just scolded those individuals and told them to take care of themselves. .
Qin Sheng bent over and pulled grass.
Obviously, his mind was not on this, and there were a lot of things that slipped through the net.
Qin Zhao followed him to check for leaks and make up for them.
Finally, he found that Qin Sheng's work was getting rougher and rougher, so he helplessly called him, "Six--" to indicate to him to look at his own work.
Qin Sheng turned his head, glanced at it, and then gave him a look of contempt. His wife had said that if you have the right to use it, it will be invalidated when it expires. Wouldn't it be better to save your energy and go back to do private work? We haven’t burned much firewood at home, and if we want to build a bathroom, we need to prepare a lot of materials... These are all tasks.
The daughter-in-law doesn't like the room to be wet. She wants to have a bathroom, which Qin Sheng thinks is not too demanding.
You know, before they were exiled, each of them lived in a courtyard, and the rooms they lived in had penthouses.
Gathering their whole family together, the house they live in now is small and can barely accommodate them, but taking a bath is really inconvenient. He and his brothers would carry water to the backyard at night and wash themselves off in the dark. The women would be in more trouble. Therefore, it is very important to have a bathroom.
Hearing such a strong reason for his laziness, Qin Zhao finally held back a sentence, "You know how to cut corners, I can't help you."
Qin Sheng was about to reply to him when he was interrupted by Qin Zhao, "Your wife is looking for you——"
Qin Sheng quickly turned around.
Qin Zhao followed his gaze and saw the sixth brother and sister calling Xiaoliu at the head of the field, "Let's go. Mr. Mo is going out to get something. You should come with us to protect us, Mr. Mo."
"Just come!"
Qin Zhao shouted in his heart, "Sixth younger brother and sister, just pamper him!" I keep trying different ways to let him rest, and God knows, I won’t be tired from pulling weeds!
At this time, he heard his son raising his head and saying to him, "Dad, Yu'er is so tired, can you take a rest?"
Qin Zhao: ...This is the son who is specifically meant to cause trouble for him! You said you just played with a piece of grass and told him you were tired?
He kept getting lucky and told himself that his wife had given birth to him!
He pointed to the field near the roadside and said, "Go and rest there."
Mo Lianfeng took Qin Sheng, Lu Songli and his wife to the blacksmith's shop and got a curved-column plow made of ordinary molten iron. After confirming that the curved-column plow was very useful, he first sent the carriage back to the gate of the military camp and drove the young couple The two put it down, then took the newly typed Quyuanli and its drawings to find his upper peak.
Xiangping is the administrative seat of Pingzhou and is also the official office of the local governor. Its status is different from that of ordinary county towns. And he is not someone who has no background. His highest peak is the captaincy of Liaoxi County and the commander of an army in the county.
Their entire military camp was very concerned about spring plowing, all because the army did not have enough food to eat.
The imperial court was not very willing to provide food and grass for their Pingzhou army. In fact, the imperial court was also in difficulty. It maintained an army of five to six million people. The most important thing was that they had a good governor in Pingzhou. Most of the taxes collected every year are shipped to Chang'an, and only one-tenth or two-tenths are transferred to the garrison.
The garrison did not have enough food to eat, and the governor and governor held them down and refused to report the matter. There was no other way, they had to eat, so their Pingzhou Army set up military camps, so that they could grow some food to supplement their income.
Just when Mo Lianfeng went to meet Shangfeng, a big event happened in Xiangping Juntun.
As soon as Lu Songli and Qin Sheng returned home, soldiers came and violently knocked on the door, "Open the door, open the door quickly!"
"All male prisoners over fifteen years old are coming out! Gather together!"
Qin Heng asked Nie Yunniang, Su Shi and Qin's mother to stay in the house with their children.
Standing in the yard, you can hear the commotion outside.
"Something happened, something must have happened!"
"Sir, what happened?" Qin Heng asked.
Xiaobing knew that this family had some background, so he explained briefly and ignored others.
"A Xianbei army passed through Wangping County and marched directly into Liaoyang County. Liaoyang was raided. The local county commanders rushed to fight and asked for help from surrounding counties. Xiangping decided to send troops to support you. You prisoners are over fifteen years old. Yes, all of them are under recruitment!"
There were many people present, and they all took a breath when they heard this. These Xianbei people are really arrogant!
The Qin family understood that Liaoyang and Xiangping were adjacent, so they mobilized troops from their military camps to meet the enemy. Of course, these people are obviously serving as cannon fodder.
But how can there be a war at this time? Do Xianbei people usually go south after the autumn harvest? Spring plowing is about to begin at this time, and this is the time when the harvest is lean. What can they grab by going south?
Later they learned that this Xianbei army was led by Tuoba Lian, one of the eight nobles of Xianbei. They went south for no other reason than to fall in love with a beautiful woman. The Han woman refused and fled from Wangping to Liaoyang. Tuoba Company, on the other hand, directly launched its troops to pursue them.
Qin Heng asked, "Sir, we have four men. Can three of them go and one stay at home?" They are not afraid of fighting. But there can't be a man in the family.
The soldier was in trouble, not because he was unwilling to be accommodating, but because his superiors had issued an order that all prisoners over the age of fifteen must be transferred. Many of the prisoners in the military camp were alone, but the Qin family was different.
Just when the soldier was in trouble, an officer who was obviously a soldier came in. Judging from the official uniform he was wearing, his rank should be the same as that of Mo Lianfeng.
"What's up?"
Xiao Bing explained quickly.
The man said directly, "No! As long as they are fifteen years old, they all have to fight against the Xianbei army!"
While speaking, the man's eyes fell on the two young female relatives of the Qin family, Cai and Lu Songli, and they were very sticky.
The second sister-in-law, Mrs. Cai, turned her face away in disgust.
Lu Songli's expression did not change, but her originally gentle expression suddenly cooled down a few degrees.
Qin Sheng stepped forward and blocked the man's view.
The Qin brothers looked at each other vaguely.
The man waved his hand and said, "Take it away!"
"Wait a minute -" Mo Lianfeng rushed back.
"Mo Lianfeng, do you dare to obstruct military orders?"
Mo Lianfeng was not afraid of him, "Qiu Dashan, you didn't do it this way!"
Mo Lianfeng stopped the person, "They are a family, not to mention that every household has one Ding. The most extreme thing is that one of the second Ding gets one, and the third Ding gets one. There are no four soldiers in one household like you!"
Qiu Dashan sneered, "Those are good people, are they worthy of these criminals?"
"Draw three and keep one! Otherwise you will never take the person away!" Mo Lianfeng directly showed the bottom line, and he was too lazy to deal with Qiu Dashan.
"Okay, then three!" Qiu Dashan also knew that this was his bottom line.
Mo Lianfeng said to the Qin family, "Give you a while to discuss the candidates."
