Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 458 If you don't leave, you will be surrounded
Lao Diantou heard that his son was back, so he came to the door early to greet him, and said, "Zhengnan, you're back."

Although Dian Zhengnan was somewhat reluctant, there was nothing he could do. He shook his armor and kowtowed politely.

"Father, the child kowtowed to you."

Lao Dian stretched out his hand and pulled the child up.

"Get up, we're all home. Don't tell me in advance when you come back, your two younger brothers have gone to work and haven't come back yet."

Dian Zhengnan stood up, scratched his head, and said, "Father, when was our house built and why is it so big?"

Lao Diantou said: "Didn't you bring back 200 taels of silver the year before last? At that time, your second and third brothers hadn't married yet. The woman disliked our house for being broken. I overturned the house in a fit of anger. It took 150 taels."

"Then what happened to the mule?"

"Didn't you bring back 200 taels of silver last winter? Your second and third younger brothers started a mule caravan to transport bricks, tiles and lime for people to build houses. You bought a total of more than a dozen mules. You can make do with it."

When Dian Zhengnan thought about it, he understood that this was brought back by his elder brother, and he had never sent any money home.

The aunt who was watching the bustle at the door clicked her mouth: "Old Diantou, look at what you said, there are more than a dozen mules in the yard of the family, and they say they are getting along. How can we live like this?"

Lao Dian was not forgiving, and said: "Your family is poor, but your family is not bad. This year, you only sold potatoes with more than ten acres of land, and the money from the sales filled the room. As long as we are not lazy, we will Whoever is willing to move will be rich."

Everyone laughed, it was true.The earliest potato promotion in Dianjia Village was a village that made a lot of money.The small potatoes are sold as seeds to nearby villages, and every household has surplus food and spare money.

Cotton was grown in small quantities, and women spun thread to make cotton clothes.Every household is well fed and warmly clothed.

Old Diantou said: "Everyone is home, don't be at the door, come in, come in."

Lao Diantou brought Zhengnan and Liu Zhuang in. As for the eight soldiers, they did not come in under the pretext of looking at the car.

What Dianzheng was driving was Chailin's carriage. The carriage No. [-] weighed one and a half tons and was arrow-proof.

Lao Dian greeted a neighbor and killed chickens and sheep.

Dian Zhengnan said: "Father, don't be so busy. I have to leave in a while. Where's my mother? Where's my brother?"

"Why are you in such a hurry. People in the village are building houses, and your mother is helping to cook there, and your two younger brothers are carrying things for others. You will be back in a while, and you haven't been back for several years. You have to have a meal before leaving. "

Lao Diantou is not stupid, he knows that he treated his son badly before.But this son is really awesome. He has created such a great fortune for his family and even became a general.

Just as he was talking, Niang and his second younger brother Dian Zhengdong came back.

"Brother, you are back, I haven't seen you for several years." Dian Zhengdong said happily.

Dian Zhengdong is young, in his early twenties, with an average body, although a bit small and strong, but far worse than Dian Zhengnan.

"I haven't seen you for several years. You've become a boss now." Zhengnan said with emotion.

Zhengdong said: "Don't talk about it, these are animals bought with some money from my brother's return. I am helping my brother to run the business. When my brother comes back, these properties will all be yours."

Zhengdong took his brother out and looked at the dozen or so mules at the door, each of which was stronger than the other.These mules are necessary for building houses in the mountains and carrying lime.Carrying bricks.

"Zhengdong is promising, work hard, you have to create your own life," said Zhengnan Kua's younger brother.

Zhengnan's mother was mean, so Zhengnan said a word to him.

After a while, Dian Biao, Dian Zhengnan's cousin, came over.

This young man looks rather sturdy, with a build of more than 1.8 meters and muscles all over his body, but he is also cunning.

Dian Biao said, "Brother Zhengnan, how about I join you as a soldier."

"Okay, not afraid of death, dare to risk your life. You will definitely succeed." Zhengnan said.

Dian Biao said: "Brother Zhengnan is now a general, can't he be assigned an easier position, one that doesn't need to fight?"

"Yes, there are soldiers who specialize in reclaiming wasteland, more than 1000 Wen a month, which is quite high."

Dian Biao said with a smile: "Brother Zhengnan was joking, I was talking about a few hundred taels of silver a year."

Seeing that this guy was too cunning, Zheng Nan shook his head and said, "No."

It's like the silver is blown by the wind.

Seeing that there was nothing to do, Dian Biao left bored.

Zhengnan took out two large pieces of 50 taels of silver from Liu Zhuang's parcel, handed them to Zhengdong and said, "Our father, our mother is getting old, and this family depends on you. This is 100 taels of silver, you keep it Emergency. It's getting late and I should go."

Zhengdong said: "Then why are you in a hurry, you have to stay for a few days anyway."

Lao Diantou said: "The chickens and sheep have been killed, and they haven't been cooked yet, so don't worry about eating."

Dian Zhengnan shook his head: "Your job is not free. My lord still has other things to do. I might go to the west to fight against the Xixia people. I can't delay my business. How many people haven't been home for several years, I can be satisfied when I go back home."

After Dian Zhengnan finished speaking, he bid farewell to his parents, left the house, got into the carriage and left.

Dian Zhengnan had just left when a large group of relatives came to his house.

The aunt said: "It's Zhengnan, Zhengnan. I want him to take my baby to serve as a soldier, the kind that only receives money and doesn't fight."

The eldest uncle said: "It's Zhengnan, it's Zhengnan. My family wants to run a four-wheeled carriage, and I want to ask Zhengnan for help."

Old Diantou said: "Let's go, I'm too busy. Let's go, let's go."

Relatives said, "Why do we smell like mutton?"

"No way, you smelled it wrong. It's the smell of meat coming from the building next door. It's gone, it's gone." Lao Diantou hurriedly told everyone to go back.

Besides, when Dian Zhengnan returned to the inn, Chailin was waiting here.

Seeing the big Dian come back, everyone is very curious.

Xie Bao said: "I thought you would stay at home for one night, why come back so soon."

Dian Zhengnan said: "If I don't leave, I will be surrounded. Many relatives have come. By the way, brother, you arranged the money a few years ago."

Chai Lin said: "It's me, let him pass the past. You are a general after all, you can't hold grudges about these things."

The next day, Chai Lin continued his inspection and spent two days in Yizhou Prefecture.

There is no big problem in Yizhou Prefecture, and the general direction is developing well.

In a mountainous area with a population of 80 million, next year only one-fifth of the land will be planted with new crops to feed so many people.

After the war, local tyrants and bullies have become less numerous and more honest.

For ordinary farmers, the rural economy tends to be good.

The stock of grain and grass is good, and it is basically kept in response to general natural disasters, such as drought, locusts and so on.

Cangzhou Army’s real food and grass reserves are less than those on Jingdong Road. Yangma Island has hundreds of thousands of acres of high-yielding rice fields, and the rice it produces is astronomical, not to mention the 10,000+ acres of rice fields on Kuye Island.
