No matter if you are a human or an immortal, you can still farm for me after traveling through time!

It was sudden.

Li Erlang's straight ball hit him so hard that he was stunned and couldn't react for a long time.

I didn't expect things to develop like this.

It shouldn't be that sensitive all the time.

Just when Ji Qingyue was still thinking about why this situation had developed, and suddenly realized in a daze that the top priority was to refuse immediately, it was already a week later. By this time, Li Erlang had already arrived at the state capital.

During this period of time when he had not been able to figure out the situation, Ji Qing was more and more shocked to realize that as long as Li Erlang was not around, he had very little interaction with the outside world, except for occasionally going out to the night market with his two children or waiting for Li Sanlang to go out to eat out during the ten-day holiday. , and also went out to cook the cotton in the pottery pot, and spent almost all the rest of the time in the painting, busy with the work in the field, and the day passed in a blink of an eye, and I didn't feel bored at all.

As October approaches, the temperature has dropped significantly, and the plant growth period has gradually lengthened. It is no longer suitable for planting cotton and rice. Now Ji Qingyue only needs to look at the vegetable patch in the morning, take care of the poultry, and walk the dog in the evening. His mood seems to be good. It didn't cause any trouble.

What surprised him was that the lotus root field had not been taken care of much. The greenery of midsummer had faded, and the pond was full of withered yellow. There were lotus roots hidden under every faded lotus.

When Li Erlang came back a year ago, he dug out a few more sections and cooked them.

On the other side, Li Erlang followed the caravan and walked eastward on the official road for four or five days, finally arriving in Ganzhou.

Li Erlang suddenly proposed to enter the barracks. Not only Ji Qingyue was surprised, but his family members were also surprised. Li Erlang did not explain much about the reason for entering the barracks, so his family only knew that he wanted to go to the barracks for training, but they did not know the specific reasons why he insisted on entering the barracks.

After all, it was Li Erlang who took the initiative to write to Vice General Cao, asking him to agree to his idea of ​​receiving training in advance. More than a month after the letter was sent, Deputy General Cao's reply arrived, agreeing to his request.

Li Erlang took the reply to his mother-in-law. Li's mother-in-law suddenly heard her son saying that she was going to the military camp. After being surprised for a while, she readily accepted the offer. She was not worried at all, but rather happy. Now that the autumn harvest and grain collection have ended, Erlang will always have to go to the barracks in the future. Now that there is a chance, it would be nice to see it in advance, so she and her husband agreed after discussing it.

The person in the family who felt most puzzled was Li Sanlang. It was not that he questioned the second brother's yearning for the barracks, but that the second brother's impatience to enter the barracks was amplified in the silent night. The second brother asked countless times about books and strategies on the art of war, but he was just a young scholar who had just passed the county examination, so how could he know about the art of war. So the second brother asked him to find some books on the art of war, and he would always read them for a while before going to bed.

Li Sanlang didn't know when the second brother became so tense, as if there was a string tied behind his back, but he knew that the second brother's tension turned into urgency and impatience after the noble lady left.

When he asked why, the second brother just remained silent and did not answer. He suddenly mentioned the idea of ​​going to the barracks.

Li Sanlang didn't know the identity of the lady from the noble family. He heard that she was a nobleman from Chang'an. How did the second brother and Brother Ji know that the nobleman was in trouble?

He had an intuition that the second brother's change had something to do with the lady from your noble family. The deepest reason was even their family!

No matter what Li Sanlang guessed, only Li Erlang himself knew who gave him enough courage to step out of his comfort zone.

With the letter written by Vice General Cao, he was able to pass through the city gate inspections and successfully enter Ganzhou with a knife on his back.

Ganzhou deserves to be the state capital, both in terms of city and population, its scale far exceeds that of Shandan County. The inspection at the city gate alone is much more stringent than Shandan.

Ganzhou is not at the entrance of the corridor, but is located in a wide flat land to the east of the corridor entrance. The city is isolated on the flat land and surrounded by vast farmland, like an isolated city. To the southwest and north of Ganzhou is the eastern section of the Lancang Mountains and other mountain ranges. To the south is a surging weak water pouring southward. Surrounding the weak water are patches of low-grade, undulating fields.

At a glance, there is no end in sight.

The barracks and training camp are outside the city and ordinary people are not allowed to approach them. Vice General Cao's letter contains a list of addresses, which is the military mansion located on Changying Street in Ganzhou City.

Walking into the gradually widening city gate, the east-west main road of Ganzhou is revealed in front of you. The main road of Ganzhou is three or four times as wide as Shandan. The liveliness of the streets is unmatched by Shandan. Cars, horsemen, caravans and Pedestrians go to their places in an orderly manner, and patrol soldiers can be seen everywhere.

After entering the city, Li Erlang did not go directly to Changying Street. Instead, he walked to the bulletin board near the city gate to check local policies and events and familiarize himself with the basic situation of Ganzhou.

Most of the people who gathered at the tea stall near the city gate were people who had just entered the city after a long journey. They asked for a pot of tea and squatted on the ground to rest. People from all over the world gathered together to talk about what they had heard along the way and inquire about interesting things happening in the state capital.

Li Erlang slowly approached and heard everyone in the crowd talking to each other. There is only one interesting story that has been talked about for a long time by the people of the state capital, and that is what happened when the Huihe envoys passed through Ganzhou last month.

"I don't know how many rotten eggs they suffered in Shandan, but they still have the smell when they arrive in Ganzhou."

"Even though they are like this, they still want to go to Chang'an to meet the officials. If they were not dragged down by the affairs in the south, the officials would not keep them alive to survive."

"It's just that the bandits are too rampant... A single juggler in Shandan can deceive many people, and even the bandits themselves can't see the juggling tricks. You don't know that the Dongri Sect is even more ridiculous. In less than a month, he actually It has won over thousands of believers. I heard that the leader is still a monk and instigates his followers to rebel against the government. No wonder the officials can't stand the temple."

"Hey! Nowadays, the temple is not a pure place, but a dirty place! How can ordinary Buddhist scriptures teach people to harm themselves if their parents are affected by their body hair and skin!"

Li Erlang stood aside and listened intently, and people's topics gradually changed from Uighur to other aspects.

"Did you hear why the officials suddenly pointed the finger at the temple...! In addition to the temple's own fault, I heard that the officials often had dreams in the days before they decided to exterminate the Buddha, fearing that God would prompt the officials to take action!"

"Do you know that officials are dreaming?"

"I came from Chang'an. Everyone in Chang'an said so. If the people below say so, forget it. The servants of those officials' families also said so. Is it possible that the officials still allow their servants to make nonsense?"

"What's more! Just after the Tengu Eclipse last year, the government's propaganda to suppress bandits suddenly spread all over Dali. The government had already planned it!"

"Our official family has grown up under Emperor Hui's knees since we were young. We have been taught by Emperor Hui personally. The official family is very wise!!"

This topic ended here. Everyone stopped talking and said no more. Then they talked about someone Li Erlang was familiar with.

"This time, there was a noble lady from an unknown family who came to Beijing with Huihe! It's a pity that you were not there at the time and never saw this noble lady with your own eyes! That figure, that pomp, and the golden phoenix hairpin on her head !”

"Hey! Jin Fengchai? Could it be some concubine from the official family?"

"Hey! Don't talk nonsense. That lady from your noble family has not yet tied up her hair and has not left the cabinet!"

"If so, I do know the identity of this noble lady..."

"Yes! You are from Chang'an! Tell me! What is the identity of that lady from your family?"

"I'm afraid I'm going to shoot my lord's pearl at Zuo Pu..."

"Oh... that is truly a 'pearl' worthy of the name...!"

Another person made an explosive statement: "It seems that it was because of this noble lady that the team was attacked by bandits."

"When did this happen? Although I don't want the Uighurs to have an easy time, but if something happens to them in Dali at this time, the border situation will definitely become serious, and it may affect the trade route."

Li Erlang's heart tightened and he continued to listen.

"About four or five days ago, I was still in Qingzhou. The envoy team had arrived in Qingzhou and would reach Chang'an in more than ten days. Unexpectedly, a group of bandits suddenly appeared and dared to attack the envoy. The ministers' team blocked the road and robbed them." As he spoke, the chatter pointed to the notice board behind Li Erlang: "Isn't the notice posted? In order to prevent bandits and strengthen patrols inside and outside the state capital, I have a brother in the county government. He said that it was because of the Qing Dynasty. The state bandits robbed the envoys' team, which caused the states, villages and counties to be so tense."

Although they did not want to make things easier for the Uighur envoys, the fact was that they could not let anything happen to them in Dali.

"How do you know that the bandits are targeting the lady of your family and not the Uighur envoy?"

"I only say it seems like it, but I'm not sure. To kill an envoy at this time is either stupid or bad. Who dares to attack the envoy team surrounded by soldiers, wouldn't it be better to do it before they have passed the mountain? They have to wait for the team to get closer. In the Gyeonggi area, it is all nonsense to say that bandits took action."

"Whether it's an envoy or a noble lady, there are people surrounding them. How can a bandit be stupid enough to hit an egg with a stone?"

While muttering, everyone seemed to know something: "Who knows this...?"

Li Erlang thought for a while, then turned to look at the words and paintings on the notice board. Sure enough, he saw the notice that passers-by said. The Qingzhou bandits intercepted the envoy team and tried to rob the tribute. They were repelled by General Yang Huang. The notice said that Remind passing caravans to be careful.

There was a solemn atmosphere surrounding the procession of envoys who had passed through Gyeongju and slowly headed south to Chang'an.

Yang Huang was riding a horse and walking beside the small carriage. No one paid any attention to him. He just thought he was talking to himself: "I say Miss Lu, you didn't let me help with the interrogation before. Now they are all dead. This is not for nothing." Does it make it more difficult to shoot the master?"

Lu Lu's calm voice came from the carriage: "I thought things were too simple. Now they are all dead. Fortunately, their bodies were not taken away. If we can't bring them back alive, then Take the body back. If possible, please ask Uncle Yao to speed up a little."

Yang Huang glanced at the two bodies covered with cloth on the cart: "I fed them sweat medicine along the way, but I didn't expect that they were still one step behind."

"Uncle Yao, you have thought of it, right?" So after the "bandit" succeeded, he tried his best to get the body back.

Yang Huang smiled faintly: "Of course. But according to Master Pu She's ability, whether it is a living person who can tell lies or a corpse that cannot speak, he can find what he needs."

Lu Lu was not modest either. As if she heard someone praising her, she said with certainty: "That's natural. I wish I were half as smart as my father."

Yang Huang shook his head in amusement, said nothing more, clamped the horse's belly and stepped forward, ordering the team to speed up slightly.

After Li Erlang read the bulletin board, he had almost heard the chatter of pedestrians on the roadside. He himself had had enough rest, and now it was time to report to the Changying Street Military Mansion.

He asked all the way, sighing at the size of Ganzhou, and walked towards Changying Street. After a long time, he finally arrived in front of the long-awaited military mansion.

All those who join the army must report to the nearby military mansion. The new recruits undergo unified training before being mixed with the veterans and assigned to various checkpoints or border cities.

If there is no war, defend the city; if there is war, you can face the enemy.

The gate of the military mansion is very grand, with two majestic stone lions standing on it. The tung oil gate is embedded with two golden beast door knockers. On the left and right sides of the door, there are two square drum-holding stones on the ground connecting the door shafts.

There was a soldier with a knife on duty at the door. When he saw Li Erlang walking towards him with a knife on his back, he guessed the reason why he came.

Li Erlang gave Deputy General Cao's letter to the soldiers on duty for inspection. They looked at Li Erlang while checking the letter, muttering in their hearts that this was another person who was favored by the deputy general.

Li Erlang was led into the military mansion.

The military mansion is an office where people and affairs are centralized. Many civilian personnel work in the military mansion and jointly manage the barracks affairs.

Food, weapons, war horses, etc. are all specially taken care of.

It was now lunch break. These officials got up from their workstations and wandered around the military mansion. When they saw Li Erlang being taken to Vice General Cao's study, they knew that Vice General Cao had found someone he liked outside and wanted to bring him back to train him. .

"I don't know how long this young man can last."

"Vice General Cao seems to be a good talker, but all the trained soldiers know that he is stern. The young man looks young. If we don't make a bet, when will he make a fuss and leave?"

Li Erlang only heard the last words they accidentally raised their voices. The soldier who brought him in had a meaningful look on his face and explained: "Vice General Cao is mainly responsible for the training of soldiers in the barracks. He usually treats people very well, but the training is strict. You can see it later.”

This made Li Erlang expectant and anxious: "Those adults are betting on whether I can persist. Will Vice General Cao bring back many people like me?"

The soldier nodded: "The deputy general has looked for many people, but few can survive all the training. You are different from soldiers who serve in the military. The deputy general will not force you to persist in training. If you can't stand it, he will let you go. , but don’t even think about receiving training from the deputy general again after you leave.”

Li Erlang nodded: "How do adults place bets?"

This question made the soldier stunned. What he said was for this reason. Isn't this young man worried at all?

"Maybe I bet that Li Langjun will give up soon." Even he thought so.

These people didn't pay much attention to the so-called training at first, but as long as one day passed, they would regret it. Within a few days, they would give up. Within seven days, they would definitely find the deputy general crying and begging to quit the training. .

Li Erlang nodded.

山单

Ji Qingyue was used to the life where Li Erlang was far away and could not come immediately. Today happened to be the day off for the two children. After breakfast, Ji Qingyue took them to Zhuangzi to visit.

He rented a mule cart and drove slowly out of the east city gate with two children.

The cold wind was howling on the flat farmland. The three people sitting on the same flat cart, like other passers-by, had already put away their light summer clothes and put on thick clothes to keep warm.

The two children sat opposite each other on the cart, holding two covered wooden barrels in their arms, which contained small fish that were constantly stirring in the water.

These are all the fish Ji Qingyue fished out of the stream in the morning. There are so many small fish in the stream that they are densely packed. Now that he has a pond, he has to pour these fish into the pond while they are still small and let them grow freely.

The farmers in the fields saw Ji Qingyue driving a mule cart approaching the village through the dirt road from a distance, so they immediately put down their work and rushed over: "Why is my boss here?"

The visitor was one of the three tenant farmers who rented the land. Ji Qingyue remembered that his surname was Sun. Sun tenant came with his wife to recognize him and stopped by to help.

Since someone came to help, Ji Qingyue asked his tenant Sun to help drive the mule cart. His driving skills were indeed not good enough. The dirt road was narrow and the mules moved very slowly.

Even though Ji Qingyue told the rental company to get a docile mule, he still didn't dare to crack the whip.

Tenant Sun got into the "driving seat" of the mule cart, and his wife followed beside the mule cart, looking at the young and good-looking new owner cautiously and curiously.

They walked straight ahead and came to the pond. It was now the dry season, and the water in the pond was only half of the wet season. The water level varied between deep and shallow.

Ji Qingyue looked at the two barrels of fish and sighed to himself: You wish for your own good.

"Brother Sun, pour these two buckets of fish into the pond."

Hearing his boss calling him that, Sun tenant was frightened half to death. He trembled and subconsciously knelt down. Ji Qingyue immediately stopped him: "Don't kneel! I remember your name is Sun Fei, right! Sun Fei, you will The two buckets of fish were poured into the pond. Also, I would like to tell others to pay more attention to the situation in the pond and never let anyone take the fish away."

Tenant Sun was called "brother" for the first time. He thought he had done something wrong and was almost frightened to death.

The boss is really a scholar, kind and polite to others.

He responded: "No one dares to salvage it."

Ji Qingyue originally wanted to call him Xiaosun, but Sun's tenant was much older than him, and it was rude to call him by his first name. He wanted to be polite, but unexpectedly, he was scared to death.

"Boss, who are these two little bosses?" The couple were looking for something to talk while moving buckets. They knew that Ji Qingyue had a good personality and was easy to talk to, so they dared to ask.

"They are both my younger brothers. It happens that they are on holiday today, so it is not convenient to take them out for a walk."

The two children stood obediently next to Ji Qingyue, and Li Yu was carrying a bamboo tube behind him.

This work was completed quickly. Sun Fei and the others were in the field dealing with the corn stalks that had already been cut into ears.

Corn stalks are excellent for making feed and fire starter.

They tried to invite: "Master, if you don't mind, can you come to my house for a drink?"

Ji Qingyue nodded: "That's fine, I happen to want to ask you for advice on some farming matters."

Li Erlang was not here, so he could only ask other people.

These words made Fei feel frightened again.

"Don't dare."
