The Big Farmer of Time Traveling

Chapter 349

This time Cheng Wenliu was dumbfounded, he thought that Ah Mo and himself were on the same front, but Ah Mo agreed to Brother Xia so easily.

Cheng Fulang felt that Cheng Wenliu was making a fuss, just like Xia Geer said, after giving birth, you have to confine yourself to confinement, don't say that you can't even go out of the gate for a month, and you can't even go out of the yard, that's really hard.

Cheng Wenliu was so distressed that he wanted to scratch his hair, Ah didn't know about Liang Ming, should he tell Ah?

Fortunately, Cheng Wenliu thought of Father Cheng in time, and he was going to talk to Father Cheng and ask Father to persuade him.

Cheng Wenliu and Cheng Adie reached an agreement, and joined forces to persuade Cheng Fulang who was about to take Lin Xiazhi out.

Cheng Adie said that Lin Xiazhi was about to give birth: "Xia Geer's belly is so big, and he may have an attack at any time when he is about to give birth. I feel frightened when I see him walking two steps like that. How can I take him out of the house?" ah."

"As long as it's not stimulated, it's not so easy to attack early. I'll watch from the side, and nothing will happen." Cheng Fulang is full of confidence. When the time comes, be sure to take it with you when you go out. With the two of them, the sky will fall. withstand.

It's because I'm afraid Brother Xia will be stimulated!Father Cheng and Cheng Wenliu looked at each other, feeling distressed.

Cheng Fulang made up his mind to take Lin Xiazhi out, and Lin Xiazhi happily packed his things to see what fun and delicious food he could bring with him this time.

Cheng Wenliu had no choice but to go to the Lin residence to ask for foreign aid. From Cheng Fulang's reaction, Li Xiu's reaction could be deduced, so this foreign aid was not to persuade Lin Xiazhi and Cheng Fulang not to go, but to accompany them and help take care of the big one. Belly Lin Xiazhi, more people can prevent it better.

The two husbands went out together to prepare all the things that Lin Xiazhi, a pregnant woman, should prepare when going out. Cheng Wenliu and Cheng Adie led the caravan's martial artists and family servants to arrange the safety protection.

The next day, several carriages set off from Cheng's house, and the carriage from the Lin's side came over to meet them, and the two families walked outside together.

This time, their destination was a pasture very close to Jiangning County. It took a quarter of an hour to walk from the city gate of Jiangning County.

Because Lin Xiazhi was in the carriage, they walked a bit slower, and it took nearly two quarters of an hour. When they got there, there was already a small group of people on the pasture, and Cheng Wenliu immediately became nervous and alert.

While Cheng Fulang was the first to get off the carriage and let someone put down the blanket, Li Xiu pulled Lin Xiazhi on the carriage and asked, "Brother Xia, didn't you stay at home a while ago, why did you go out again yesterday?"

"In July, the weather was too hot and I didn't want to go out. In August, Brother Jing had an accident and I had to stay at home and couldn't go out. Now I finally have the opportunity. If I don't go out to take a look, I have to wait until the confinement is over. Then It's too uncomfortable." Lin Xiazhi randomly found two reasons to fool Li Xiu.

Li Xiu had no doubts, he believed the reasons Lin Xiazhi said, so he stopped pulling Lin Xiazhi, and got out of the car first to let Cheng Wenliu come over to help Lin Xiazhi.

The road went smoothly, and playing outside went smoothly. Everyone's attention on this trip was basically focused on Lin Xiazhi, for fear that something would happen to him.

Everyone took care of Lin Xiazhi carefully. Yang Yusheng's special barbecue was eaten outside at noon. The special smell of the barbecue wafted out, and the people next to him on the playground couldn't help but come over and ask for a couple of skewers.

After basking in the sun for a while in the afternoon, Lin Xiazhi finally had fun and proposed to go back to the city, and Cheng Wenliu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When returning to the city, Lin Xiazhi said happily in the carriage: "Ah, I feel much more relaxed after going out to play for a long time this time, and I will stay at home honestly when I go back, and I won't go there, I promise I won't let you go again." Worry."

"It's better that way." Cheng Fulang and Li Xiu looked at each other. Having a baby is like going through the gate of hell. If Brother Xia obeys, they will be less worried.

After returning from an autumn excursion, Lin Huzi put most of his thoughts on his fields. The second round of rice is about to mature, and the second round of tomatoes, peppers, and corn are all very important crops for farmers. When it's time to mature, the more you can't take it lightly.

At this time, a very, very bad news came from the border. The Xiliang Kingdom gathered a large number of soldiers, preparing to attack the Jing Kingdom.

This summer, there was no rain for a long time. Li Xiu and Lin Huzi mentioned that when the weather was too hot and there was no rain, it was easy to suffer from drought.

There are two big rivers in Jingguo, and after a few days of drying, the rain soon fell, and there was no threat of drought. However, there was almost no rain in Xiliang country for almost the whole summer.

Xiliang is a nomadic country. If it doesn't rain, the grass on the ground will not grow vigorously. Naturally, the cattle and sheep will have nothing to eat. Most of the lambs and calves born in summer have not survived the natural disaster. A large number of fat sheep and cattle died.

After the autumn rains, the grass finally grows. Unfortunately, there is no way to make up for the losses. Without cattle and sheep, they will not be able to eat and wear warm clothes. The only way to survive the cold winter is to go to Jingguo, which is gradually getting richer, to rob clothes and food.

"These damn Xiliang people, they can run fast on horseback. I heard that they went to the border villages to rob them some time ago. Fortunately, our frontier guards discovered them early, and the villages there did not suffer much. .”

"They come to Jingguo when they have nothing to eat. Is Jingguo their backup granary? It's really deceiving."

"The Xiliang barbarians are like that. They are used to being robbers, and they can no longer be normal people."

"A bunch of bastards, beasts!"

"Our frontier army is doing well. We beat those shameless Xiliang people away and drove them back to the mountains."

……

The news that Xiliang was planning to invade Jingguo spread from the border to the inland counties and counties almost overnight, and continued to spread to more places at a very fast speed.

Lin Xiazhi found out about this two days after he came back from Qiuyou. He didn't expect that there would be a war. Although he came from a peaceful age, Lin Xiazhi knew how cruel war was, and he felt panicked.

The officers and soldiers of the county government immediately went to various villages and towns for the simple purpose of recruiting strong men for military service.

Military service is one of the several types of taxation and corvee service stipulated by the state. If you don’t want to serve in the military, you can pay two taels of silver to buy a quota, so you don’t have to join the army;

In addition, soldiers will receive subsidies during training, and when they come back from the battle to kill the enemy, there will be subsidies. Those who have made military achievements have the opportunity to become soldiers from small soldiers, and then step forward to become heads of hundreds of households, heads of thousands of households, School lieutenant, Zhonglang general, general, lieutenant general, general.

It can be said that joining the army is an easier way to get ahead than taking the imperial examination, but the risk factor is too high, and few families are willing to send their children to the battlefield.

When the news of the invasion by foreign enemies came in, the national conscription began immediately, and everything seemed to be arranged in advance. Lin Xiazhi couldn't help expressing this doubt when he heard Cheng Wenliu's news from outside.

"As far as I know, the Xiliang Kingdom was reunited again this spring, and the summer drought there is no secret, so His Majesty has already expected that Xiliang will make some moves this year, and has already made plans." Cheng Wenliu knew better Many, Lin Xiazhi asked him to say a few more words.

It's autumn now, and the weather is getting cooler. Lin Xiazhi thinks about what he can do, thinking that those soldiers who are defending their homes and country outside will have to eat and sleep in the open.

Cheng Wenliu was not in a relaxed mood: "Brother Xia, I discussed with my father today and decided to donate 1000 taels of silver. If nothing else, it is just to show our attitude. Our family supports the country and beats away the Xiliang barbarians."

"War is burning money. In recent years, we have been advocating less taxation. I don't know if there is enough money in the treasury." Lin Xiazhi was worried.

Thinking of the scenes in the TV dramas he watched, the treasury was empty, the soldiers could not pay the soldiers, they could not buy enough military rations, and even the weapons and equipment were in tatters. able to win battles.

Cheng Wenliu's heavy heart was disturbed by Lin Xiazhi's words: "Our Majesty not only advocates tax cuts, but the old man also took the lead in reducing expenditures. The treasury must have enough money."

Lin Xiazhi was still worried, and he proposed another idea: "Look at this, let's not donate the money directly, can we exchange it for something else at the same price?"

During the war, the price of goods will rise to some extent, and the things that can be bought by donating money directly are limited, but if they are replaced with real things, there will be no price difference.

There are two things that Lin Xiazhi thinks of when he is away from home. One is to solve the food for the soldiers - fried noodles, and the other is to solve the problem for the soldiers to sleep - the sleeping bag.

Marching soldiers outside, the food can only ensure that everyone is full, but the taste is hard to say. In an emergency, the cook may have no time to cook. Maybe they can just eat some cold pancakes.

Fried noodles are different. They are fried flour. If you don’t have time to cook, you can boil a pot of water and make a bowl. It is delicious and smooth. It is convenient and full for a meal with a pancake.

As for the sleeping bag, it is even more necessary. One bag can include the quilt and mattress, and there is no need to prepare extra sheets and quilt covers. It is simply a must-have when going out.

Lin Xiazhi only thought of these two ideas in a hurry, and Cheng Wenliu was very moved after hearing what he said, and couldn't wait to find Father Cheng to discuss the feasibility of this matter.

And Lin Xiazhi approached Cheng Fulang after Cheng Wenliu left. The ingredients for fried noodles are oil, flour, and salt. These things are available at home. Cheng Fulang ordered the kitchen to prepare a portion according to Lin Xiazhi's fried noodles recipe. After everyone came back at noon Have a taste.

Sleeping bags are also not complicated to make. With all the materials, the fast-handed embroiderer can make one in half an hour. He found two brothers who are good at embroidery in the Cheng family to go to him, and let them work together. Make the sleeping bag that Lin Xiazhi said.
