If the autumn water flows down, the nest will be over a hundred miles away and it will be in the wilderness. I have known that the whole world will be in a poor state, and I will be suffering because of the people.

The clouds float in the sky, and the geese are wet, and the thunder in the deep mountains rises from hidden dragons. Life is just a habit of staying at home, and the rivers and seas have been like a ditch of water.

"Heavy Rain in Huaibei"

Qing Dynasty: Gu Yanwu

——I am the dividing line—

"Eat a lot of time, eat hard, eat dry food every now and then, and slaughter pigs and sheep during festivals; the diligent and fast-lived farmhouses have a good life, just like the ears are rising...."

Amid the vague song, Deng Geda leaned on the fork in his hand with one hand and carried the three-eyed gun in his other hand, and took the lead through the newly turned mud-smelling ridge. This canal water mixed with the mud-smelling smell of rotten wheat straw made him smell very comfortable and friendly, but he remembered the twenty-three acres of fields he had received under his name.

Although as a nearby resettlement policy for taking care of military families, his barbarian wife could work in the local towns and towns' official workshops, and then receive a stable job and food payment. However, she obviously cared more about the work and habitual work in the fields, and also liked to get along with those familiar villagers. Therefore, she finally asked for favors and changed it to the nearby resettlement policy for the new farm.

Among them, the basic land area for men and women settled in five acres of land. After he officially joined the army, he obtained the quota of eight acres of military land. The last five acres of quota were used to compensate the Tunzhuang households who voluntarily migrated from Jiangxi to Huainan, and re-compensate the difference between the settlement and settlement. As long as he served for five years, regardless of the future illness, death and disability, these fields could be cultivated by his family for the rest of his life.

Therefore, although it is a raw land that reopens from the deserted slopes of sand and gravel, it is all water irrigated fields close to newly opened canals. In the first year, plant some barren-resistant and fast-growing millet, jaccarat, melon and vegetables, and then pile up some water and fertilizer to slowly improve the soil abilities; by the next year, you can fill up the water and plant green rice seedlings; that also means that you can eat delicious self-growing rice before the Dragon Boat Festival at the latest.

Then you can get a salary for the temporary garrison and the service allowance for four seasons and eight hours. It is not only enough to pay and compensate the labor worker points in the village every year, but also to make up for the labor worker points. You can also keep adding new items and household items to your family, and replace new clothes for the women and children with new clothes and head expenses. You can also drink some cheap turbid wine with salted peanuts and fried edamame.

Therefore, he did not hate the days of attending the pre-season. Even though all of this always seemed to be the same hard work and boring, he had to stand in the mud facing the fields and up early and work back and forth in the dark all day, at least now he would be much more comfortable and comfortable.

On rainy days, there are rain cloths and hats, waterproof rubber boots, and when the sun is hottest, there are bamboo-woven wide-brimmed hats and prepared anti-heat tea soup; they are very sweet and salty and can handle the fullness of paper-wrapped dry food, fried rice, and fried noodles; not to mention that after each round of service, you can also have a very strong stewed meat soup rice, or spicy soup with stewed noodles.

It’s a pity that the little sugar, wine, tea cakes, oil cakes and other side dishes distributed in the army were not allowed to be hidden in private and taken home. They had to be eaten on the spot under mutual supervision. He must also let his wife and children share the benefits he brought to the army! He even thought about it that since he had the military ration, he had to find a way to save some copper coins.

Although the two children are currently entrusted in the village, and they don’t have to spend a penny every day and have to spend a full lunch. In the future, as long as they hand over a bag of grain every month, they can go to the mobile elementary school class regularly held in the village and learn a hundred words and simple calculations, but he is thinking further than others.

After all, if the children have some potential in the future, if they want to continue to go to the official kindergarten, junior high school, learn a craft or join the army, or even enter the preparatory course of the large-scale lecture hall, the corresponding pen, ink, paper, inkstone, clothing and outfits will require a sum of money to buy it. Moreover, the wife of the barbarian woman thought differently, even his daughter wanted to send it out.

In this way, we can not only learn some skills and skills, but also have basic inputs that can support our family. Even if we marry someone in the future, it will be considered a bit of a reliance on our side. However, we may not be angry or wronged at our husband's family, but we can still take our children back to our parents' home with confidence, and we may not be afraid of the brothers and sisters-in-law's eyes and criticism. It is a pity for parents in the world.

Thinking of this, Deng Geda finally stopped, looked at the direction of the sun, picked up the small hourglass with the timing hanging on his chest and took a look. Then he ordered to find a nearby place to take a break under the shade of the tree; he took out the baking slices and dried sweet potatoes in his bag to carry dry food, and ate it with the newly filled and cool tea soup.

Sitting on the soil bun under the shade of the tree, you can already see the water surface of the Huai River that seemed like a white silk in the distance, and there was still a little turbid color after the Spring Festival. The cool river breeze blowing over the cool surface made Deng Geda, who was covered in sweat, and others, who were soaked in the leather helmet and iron leaf armor, all showed a pleasant and comfortable expression.

And what was delivered in the wind was also a little familiar with wheat grass and rice stalks. Deng Geda's first reaction was that this was a child from a nearby farmhouse, who secretly ate it with the grass that he used to hold her hands in the wild to cook jacquards or roast birds. After all, in the ten miles and eight villages along the Huai River, the remaining household registration had long been moved in, and only the farmhouses of Jiansheng Army and armed reclamation groups were left.

However, as long as the other party is not in the wild, they are too lazy to take care of it. After all, they are all children who are just greedy. They are rarely working hard under the Taiping Army and eating and drinking for a long time. No adult will be able to blame these children who are prone to hunger. If the night patrol team happened to run into it, they might even give them a few small pieces of biscuits, oil cakes, fried rice, etc.

But soon after, the burnt smell of straw turned into a clear burnt smell, which made Deng Geda alert again; then they saw the water slowly floating in the water, the ashes floating with the wind, and the vague opposite shore that had been shrouded by the rolling fireworks.

This scene suddenly surprised Deng Geda and others. You should know that although this place is facing the front line of the enemy in Henan, since Liu Hanhong in Huaixi, Yang Xingmin in Weiyang, and Sun Ru in Shanyang, they have been defeated or fled one after another; the Huainan land pacified by the Taiping Army has also been for the peaceful situation for half a year.

Especially after the Dongdu camp of the Xin Dynasty of the Great Qi Dynasty successively seized Ying and Cai prefectures, the threats and pressure from Henan were greatly reduced. In addition, the franchise business travelers under Taiping rule were among the three towns on Huai Shang, and the secret connection between Pinglu Town/Ziqing Jiedushi at the mouth of the downstream, the water surface seemed even calmer.

Although you can occasionally hear and see the fighting movements of the other side between half a mile and a mile wide water, except for the refugees and refugees who have been fighting over the river after the beginning of spring, there are basically no decent warnings and threats.

And these patrol teams along the river were born for this. Although the location where the large group of people crossed the Huai River was actually only a few places such as Dabukou, and they were closely guarded by the water camps and boat troops established on the spot; however, there were actually many local committees located along the southern coast of Huai, which could barely penetrate the shore.

Therefore, the role of their patrol teams is to discover nearby in time. These refugees or private dealers who have been infiltrated day and night will be controlled and left to the rear aftermath and defense zones. The professional departments formed by them will conduct quarantine and identity identification. But this time the situation seems a little different.

Soon, a river boat that was also ignited and smoked in the upper reaches of the river, and was twisting and twisting on the water surface like Bailian. After a while, it crashed and stranded on the gravel-covered river beach. Before Deng Geda and others on the slope took action, river boats of various colors floated out of the smoke one after another.

Some immediately followed the first river boat leaned on the river beach as if it were, but some river boats were sailing crookedly on the water for a while, and then overturned into the water with some exclamation. At this time, the first river boat that was docking had jumped off the boat, and then stepped on the uneven river beach and continued to wade towards the earthen embankment.

"The youngest two in the team stood up..."

At this moment, Deng Geda no longer had any luck and shouted hurriedly.

"One goes to the nearest sentry tower to click the beacon tower, and the other goes to the nearest farm to alert..."

"What about us?"

Some of the remaining team members couldn't help but ask:

"Of course I've been touching these outsiders on the shore... How could our Taiping Army soldiers run away without fighting? At least they have to buy some time for the rear, right?"

Deng Geda said without hesitation:
Chapter completed!
