Seeing Yang Shanlu muttering silently, Han Lin felt a little strange. It seemed that his agricultural attainments were not worse than his brother, but why is this defensive adult's attitude so weird

"Haha—" Seeing Han Lin's strange appearance, Yang Shanlu suddenly laughed. Although he knew what happened in the future, but now the environment and opportunities have changed, will this Han Lin also change? And these things haven't happened yet, so it would be inappropriate to have him in charge now...

I should be more concerned about whether he has agricultural talents...

"Mr. Han, please go inside." In this case, Yang Shanlu also issued an invitation. After the two entered the official hall, the guest and the host were seated. Yang Shanlu inadvertently talked with him about some agricultural issues. .

As for Han Lin, he was a bit talented at the beginning, after all, he was still very accomplished in agriculture.

However, as the conversation began, he became more and more surprised... He was surprised to discover that this young defensive adult also has deep attainments in agriculture! Even a lot of insights are unheard of, which inspires him a lot!

But... how is this possible! After all, his mentor Xu Guangqi has never accepted this adult as a disciple... But as the conversation got deeper and deeper, Han Lin was surprised to find that this was really a fact, and he couldn’t help but sigh. , There are people outside the world!

As for Yang Shanlu, after talking about it, he was quite satisfied. This Han Lin's character may have shortcomings, but in agriculture, he is definitely a talent, which is exactly what he needs.

"Mr. Han, you and I have enjoyed each other very much. In this case, I want to hire you as a pawn of the staff, who will be responsible for agricultural matters. The treatment will be compared to other colleagues in the fort. What do you think?"

"Such students dare not follow their orders—"

When Han Lin heard this, he was very happy. To be honest, the Han family is a local clan in Jiangzhou and has no shortage of food and clothing. Therefore, he does not value the treatment. On the contrary, he hopes that what he has learned throughout his life can be used to make the people of Ming Dynasty less. Suffer a little bit, but now, let him be responsible for the entire farming of a thousand households, he feels that he has come to the right.

And after the two talked for a while, Han Lin couldn't wait to say: "My lord, if this is the case, let's go and take a look at the fields now... After all, it's the spring plowing season, and it's a critical time! "I have to say that Han Lin is really concerned about farming. Before this chair is hot, he can't wait to get out of the field.

And Yang Shanlu was quite satisfied after hearing this, not to mention his ethics, the attitude of this job is still very good.

"Okay, let's go check it out—"

After the two left the Qianhu official hall, they went directly to the land outside the fort. After they arrived, Han Lin was very happy to see it... because there was a vibrant scene everywhere!

In the farm that he could see, there were working people everywhere! What's more rare is that the enthusiasm for labor is very high, which allows him to guide farming in the future and have a good foundation.

And more importantly... There are really a lot of farmland here. He roughly estimated that the area that he saw alone was nearly 10,000 acres, plus the other forts under the jurisdiction of Thousand Households, it would definitely allow him to It's a big show.

"There is not enough rain this year, so the ditch in the field can be opened shallower to preserve fertilizer and water..." After watching for a while, Han Lin had already expressed his opinions on the improprieties he saw, showing his wealth of agricultural knowledge.

But then, when he saw a farmer who was sowing a gray thing in the field, he was puzzled: "What is this?"

Seeing that Yang Shanlu came with him, those households did not dare to look down upon him, and bowed and replied, "Going back to the master, these are called fertilizers and can be used to increase production."

"Feitian powder? Can it increase production?" Han Lin was puzzled. He had studied agriculture for 11 years, but he had never heard of such a thing.

When Yang Shanlu saw it, he smiled slightly: "Hehe, this is something I made in my spare time. As for the effect, it should be pretty good. It can double the yield per mu."

"What? I heard that right!" Han Lin stared at Yang Shanlu in a daze, as if he didn't know him!

His mentor Xu Guangqi had already left his life two years ago, but even if his mentor is reborn, he can generally increase the yield per mu by 60 to 70%, which is already very good! But now, just such a humble thing can double the output

When Yang Shanlu saw his horrified appearance, he didn't say much, because he had already seen a farming field next to him. Because he had sprinkled the fertilizer a few days ago, the growth of Huang Su in the field was very gratifying, so use this Let the facts explain.

"Mr. Han, come and take a look at this piece of land. This is where the fertilizer was applied just a few days ago." Yang Shanlu said with a smile.

"Really—" After Han Lin took a closer look, there was no more doubt. With the eyes of an expert like him, he knew at a glance that the seedlings in this field were really good! It can even be said that he has never seen it before! According to this trend, it is really not a problem to double the yield per mu!

"I'm considered convinced. The so-called live to learn to grow old, I only know today that the ancients don't deceive me!" After Han Lin finished reading it, he was convinced and admired, and was completely convinced by Yang Shanlu.

And Yang Shanlu laughed when he heard it, hehe, he is just a few hundred years of knowledge. Of course, as long as he can do something good for the people of the world and be worshipped by such an agricultural expert, he will be reluctant to accept it. , Haha.

After going down such a circle, the host and the guest are already enjoying themselves. Regardless of other things, Yang Shanlu feels that this Han Lin is still very pragmatic and knowledgeable, and he can safely leave agricultural matters to him. .

And next, because he knew the importance of agriculture, and now it was the spring plowing season, the solar terms were not waiting for others, so Yang Shanlu went all out to mobilize the people in the fort to farm the fields.

The effect of this is also very obvious. After the fields are divided, the enthusiasm of the military and civilians in the fort has been fully mobilized, plus the guidance of an agricultural expert, Han Lin, and as more and more fertilizers are used. , The effect is beginning to show.

When the soldiers and civilians in these forts were stunned to discover that the seedlings in their respective fields grew up as if they had been stunned by immortal methods, all of them would wake up with a smile when they dreamed... In this way, the harvest of the next season would be a foregone conclusion. Oh... and Yang Shanlu, who brought them all this, was even more worshipped by them.

After finishing the agriculture, Yang Shanlu then turned his energy to recruiting. After all, he now has 70,000 mu of farmland, and his confidence in recruiting is greatly increased...

Qi Zhenzong is still responsible for recruiting troops, but according to Yang Shanlu's instructions, the source of recruiting troops is still mainly refugees. After all, this year has been a continuous year of disaster, plus the refugees who have appeared in the town’s guards in turmoil outside. There are a lot of them, so Yang Shanlu tries to accept them as much as possible, so as to contribute a little more meager strength to this nation.

And after half a month of this, Qi Zhenzong rushed to announce the good news happily: "My lord, great joy! The recruitment is full! And the number is quite large... They have recruited 600 soldiers and 150 auxiliary soldiers! "

"Really—" Yang Shanlu was also very happy to hear that. In such a short period of time, he has recruited so many soldiers. It seems that the minister of military training is still very motivated...

Then Yang Shanlu made a calculation and said, "So, plus our original sergeants, there are now 800 soldiers and 200 auxiliary soldiers? The total number has reached 1,000?"

"That's right, my lord!" When Qi Zhenzong replied, he was full of joy, thinking that when he came to join him, he only thought that he could have 500 soldiers in three years, and he was already satisfied. But now... Haha!

"So, I have fulfilled my promise to you?" Yang Shanlu was also happy in his heart.

"That's right—I was able to meet you, an adult, in the capital. It was my greatest fortune, Qi Zhenzong!" Qi Zhenzong is not a flattering person, but now he has even said this, showing how happy he is.

After the joy, Qi Zhenzong began to make suggestions: "But my lord, do you think the scale of the special camp needs to be expanded?"

After all, this is also very obvious. After several battles, Qi Zhenzong has already tasted the sweetness greatly. With such a mysterious force in his hand, it is so convenient to use.

"This is okay." Yang Shanlu nodded and said: "The special camp was originally in the size of 30 people, but now it should be expanded to 80 people, no, 100 people! In addition, we didn't have anything that didn't charge at night. Now you can do it, just get 30 people. After all, the team has expanded, and the various arms can be further refined."

"Great—" Qi Zhenzong agreed with this decision with both hands. The so-called good steel should be used on the blade, so that after the increase in nights, ordinary investigations and other tasks do not have to trouble the special camp, but can be more difficult. Task too.

After this was settled, Yang Shanlu said, "Go, go and see the newly recruited soldiers—"

After the two people came to the training ground, they saw that the huge training ground was already covered in black, and training was everywhere, which seemed very lively.

When Yang Shanlu saw this scene, he felt very emotional... There are thousands of people, and it seems to be boundless, and with these 1,000 soldiers, he can surprise him when he enters the barrier. Right...

And so many recruits, after seeing Yang Shanlu appear, the whole training field was silent for a moment, and even all the eyes looked at him in admiration!

Because when all the recruits were recruited as military households, they were told that the land they were allocated, the meat they would eat every day, and the new life they could lead in the future were all thanks to the defensive adult!

And Yang Shanlu quickly verified his promise. The refugees who were previously displaced can now live such a good life. Almost everyone has decided to dedicate everything to the defensive adult.

Among them, Yang Shanlu also saw his cousin Sun Chengyang, who said that Sun Chengyang is now a human being. In the previous period of suppression of bandits, he fought bravely, and then made significant progress in cultural studies, so he waited fiercely in the process. After the people's assessment, he has become a glorious leader, and he manages 12 recruits.

Sun Chengyang also saw Yang Shanlu at this time, but he just wanted to subconsciously call out his cousin, but he swallowed it back immediately, because Yang Shanlu had taken care of him and he had to do business outside of him, and he couldn't be regarded as a relative.

And this is also a reference to the historical hero Cao Cao. After Cao Cao took power, he told his son Cao Zhang that he lived as a father and son, and the subject was a ruler. Now Yang Shanlu feels that the same applies.

"I've seen a defensive master." Sun Chengyang just bowed to courtesy.

"Well, it's not bad, let's train well—" Yang Shanlu just smiled and encouraged.

At this time, Sun Chengyang’s father, Sun Changming, happened to be looking for Yang Shanlu. He just waited until he saw that Sun Chengyang was wearing a small flag official clothes and was training his men, and Yang Shanlu was still talking to him kindly. Rejoice as if eating honey.

So he watched with joy. After Yang Shanlu and Sun Chengyang had finished talking, Sun Changming walked over and said, "Master Qi, another group of houses have been built in the fort. , You can move in already."

"well-"

Yang Shanlu was very satisfied after hearing this. This efficiency should be said to be quite high. After all, these recruits were recruited in only three or four days. In such a fast time, they can all move into the new house. It seems that the work of uncle is doing it. Still very good.

After giving an affirmative look, Yang Shanlu asked: "In this case, the total population in the fort should be quite large—"

"Yes." Sun Changming seemed to be quite proficient in civil affairs, and opened his mouth: "Now there are 4352 people in the fort, and most of them are young men and women."

"well-"

Yang Shanlu was quite satisfied after hearing this. I remember that when he first took over Zhenkoubao, the population was only more than 1,300, but now... even this number belongs to the five thousand households in the entire town. The top level, and this is a symbol of prosperity.

"But Sun Ling, now that the population in the fort is larger, there are more civil affairs. I hope you can pick up this burden..."

"Defender, please rest assured—"

Sun Changming just slapped his chest. He had been a small official for many years, and Yang Shanlu appointed him as the boss of the official office, that is, the highest-ranking official, and his subordinates can govern the official. The staff, Cuan Dian (the last little official), the number has increased to four, so Sun Changming is doing things now, that's full of energy.

And Qi Zhenzong on the side was very emotional when he heard it. He usually only cares about warfare and doesn’t know much about the civil affairs in the fort. But now, I heard that within a short time, the fort has developed to such an extent... He raised a high building on the ground and saw him prosper step by step!

After Sun Changming left, the two continued to inspect the recruits. Yang Shanlu asked: "Now that so many recruits have been added at once, can the supply of firearms keep up?"

"Hehe, there is still a little shortage for the time being, but soon all firearms will be equipped." Qi Zhenzong said excitedly.

This is also very obvious. After absorbing these craftsmen from Zhenkoubao, the number of craftsmen in the firearms workshop has increased to more than 60, and compared with the generous treatment before, these craftsmen are so motivated...

The sound of iron banging can be heard far away.

"Oh, can the quality of firearms be guaranteed during live ammunition drills?" Yang Shanlu asked very carefully.

"My lord, it's okay. Now even those military households in Zhenkoubao dare to carry bird guns on their shoulders and shoot."

This is also very obvious. The soldiers in Zhenkoubao know the fine tradition of easy blasting of birds, so they have developed the habit of shooting as far as they can go. But now, then. I'm never afraid anymore! As for other guards, the shabby situation that only three or four military households can be equipped with a blunderbuss is absolutely invisible here, haha!

Yang Shanlu was also very satisfied after hearing this. This means that even if he focused on agricultural production a few days ago, the military operations in the fort were not affected at all. This not only shows that Qi Zhenzong’s military configuration is powerful, but also shows The various developments in the fort have embarked on the formalization and the fast track.

And I think about it further. In the 9th year of Chongzhen next year, since Gou Danzi will enter the customs on a large scale, he must have prepared a strong bow and crossbow, but he has also prepared a sophisticated bird gun, set up * Oh, that’s it. At that time, just see if your strong bow and hard crossbow are great, or my excellent birdcock is great...

However, after a round of inspections, Yang Shanlu also found a problem: "By the way, brother, now that the army has taken shape, the compilation and training of military songs can also be on the agenda..." After all, Yang Shanlu is very clear. From the perspective of army building in future generations, there is a resounding military song, which can boost morale very much.

"Oh, sir, since you have mentioned it, do you already have specific eyebrows?" Qi Zhenzong asked quickly, after all, he already admires Yang Shanlu very much, what kind of improved bird blows, set *, all kinds of Fantastically, that is the most.

"Hehe, okay, in my spare time these few days, I thought of two military songs." Yang Shanlu just smiled faintly.

"What? Two songs?" Qi Zhenzong's mouth was wide open when he heard it. To be honest, he also considered this issue recently, but although Qi Zhenzong is a military master, he can no longer edit and practice military songs, that is, he lacks artistic cells. But now, haha.

Then Yang Shanlu began to talk concretely. The first of these two military songs was his persuasion song originated from the later Northern Army. Although the later Northern Army has mixed praises and criticisms, this persuasion song is still done. It's very good.

The lyrics are as follows:

First, we must learn to practice diligently. The military weapon is a personal protective equipment, which should be cleaned by scrubbing frequently.

Second, we must be brave enough to fight, and we should live without death. If you retreat to the military order, you will lose your name in one fell swoop.

Third, we must treat the people kindly and rely on them for farming. As long as the soldiers and the people form a family, the people will help each other to make their own achievements...

This persuasive song vividly incorporates all the points that need attention in the army into the lyrics, so that it is entertaining and entertaining, and if it is often sung, it will leave a deep impression.

And Yang Shanlu's second military song came from an adaptation of the song-that is the later generations' loyalty to the country.

The smoke rises from the country and looks north, the dragon rolls up and the horse whispers with sword air like frost,

From the south of Horseshoe, people look north, and people look north, grass green and yellow dust flying.

I am willing to defend the territory and reopen the frontiers, dignified China wants the four parties to come to congratulate!

Whether it is the lyrics or the melody, this song is full of sonorous masculinity and military spirit! It is magnificent to sing!

Of course, there are specific lyrics that need to be changed, such as'China' or something, but the changes are still not a problem. For example, China is changed to Daming-dignified Daming needs to be congratulated by all parties! Singing is also very emotional...

Of course, there are many suitable military songs. The reason for choosing this song is that Yang Shanlu still has some unexplainable factors.

You must know that it is Tu Honggang who sang the song popular in later generations, and he is exactly a Manchu! So in this different time and space, let tens of thousands of Manchu people come to praise this song-wherever "Jing Loyalty and Serve the Country" goes, the head of the dog is rolling!

And after Yang Shanlu hummed these two military songs, Qi Zhenzong was drunk. The first song to persuade soldiers was very good, and the second song, "Being Loyal to the Country", was even more exciting. … Fully sang the majestic spirit of a man! Even if there is a dog Tartar now, I can't wait to fight it directly.

Then Yang Shanlu called the group of four under his hand. After he taught them these two military songs, Cheng Meng said excitedly: "My lord, great! With these two military songs, I Dare to say that the combat effectiveness of the Xuanjia Army can still rise to a higher level."

"Hehe, it's not as good as you said, but the army is a place full of masculinity. It really needs this kind of masculine beauty to sing!"

After the patrol was over, Yang Shanlu returned to the Qianhu Office, and he wrote in his diary with joy that on April 18, Chongzhen, the number of soldiers in the fort’s civil war reached 1,000, and the military song was successful.

However, what Yang Shanlu didn't expect was that when he came to the training ground again the next day, there was a discordant scene. (End of this chapter)
