Ye Jianqiu

In the evening, Ye Jianqiu came to the backyard to check the vegetable garden.

The tomato seedlings have grown to the chest height, and the vegetable seedlings are firmly tied to a thick branch next to them. If they are not tied to the branches, these vegetable seedlings will not only be tied to the waist by the violent hot wind here Scrape off, and also be crushed by the heavy fruit.The branches are full of squeezed fruits, and the wrinkled green fruits are bright green and white, and they will soon turn pink.Even the ripe fruit is in good condition, not only bright in color, but also free of cracks at the stem.These fruits are not small in size, each one is as big as a fist, and one of them is actually comparable to a cabbage!

The loofahs hanging from the scaffolding look like big green snakes hanging in the air. When people pass by, they have to stretch their hands left and right to see the road ahead.This loofah can cook a big pot of loofah egg drop soup!

Ye Jianqiu was squatting in front of a pumpkin with yellow and green skin, worrying. This big pumpkin, which was lying quietly on the sandy ground, was obviously immature, weighing about [-] catties by visual inspection!Lian Ye Jianqiu felt a little uneasy, abnormality is a demon, such a strange and huge fruit is too outrageous!

I am not willing to cut it, after all it is so innocent!Don't cut it, this pumpkin with tender yellow flowers on the top, I really don't know what kind of giant species it will grow into!Ye Jianqiu sighed and stood up, maybe the pumpkin cart that Cinderella was riding in was real... The vegetable garden in front of me was like a beautiful fairy tale world, Ye Jianqiu stood here, as if she had come to the kingdom of giants, The pumpkin flower with the big mouth of the golden bowl dropped yellow pollen all over the ground. I really suspected that the elf Peter Pan lived in it.

At this moment, he heard the sound of iron chains "cracking" coming from the stable... He turned his head and saw that Situ Jin's red horse was shaking its head and grazing. It turned out that it was Zao Hua'er!

Ye Jianqiu rushed out from the vegetable garden immediately, he searched the yard for a long time, and finally saw a dark figure sitting there on the roof.

Situ Jin was sitting on the roof playing with the crystal-shaped sand and stones brought from the sandpit.

He had actually seen something like this in Linyue City, and those fans from overseas said it was called a sky crystal gem.

The sky crystals in the hands of these foreigners are not only colorful, but also exquisite and beautiful in shape.There are jewelry, decorations, wine sets and tableware. The price of crystal gemstones can be compared with emeralds, cat’s eyes, and emeralds. A set of pure black crystal stone wine sets costs a thousand taels of gold. His favorite, this was very dominant in Linyue City for a while.Many ladies are not only proud to wear crystal jewellery, but some families like to show off their crystal wine utensils when entertaining guests.

But not long after, someone found that although the sky crystal is beautiful, it is not resistant to wear, and its hardness is also much worse. After a long time, it will even fade a little.Soon, the popularity of sky crystal dropped, and the price was much cheaper, but even so, it was still a treasure comparable to gemstones such as turquoise.

Situ Jin laughed secretly, never thought that this kind of thing was made from the sand, those outsiders are really profiteers!

With Yang Xiaomi taking over, maybe the firing will be successful soon.

Speaking of Yang Xiaomi, although he is a head catcher, his other identity is a merchant.He has a wide range of contacts and information, and he can find the right place to sell all the goods, and the price is very reasonable.As for the sky crystal, Yang Xiaomi can immediately find a trustworthy craftsman to secretly burn it. If the sky crystal is refined in the future, there will be a safe and reliable market.

Although Yang Xiaomi is Cao Da's person, he is not annoying.This head catcher surnamed Yang has a good face, no one can offend him, he smiles three times when he sees people, and speaks kindly and without airs.From the governor and county magistrate to the traffickers and pawns, everyone has a very good impression of him.Yang Butou can do all sorts of jobs, including catching criminals, ransacking homes and killing people, registering household registration, assisting in tax collection... and even pimping people!

Just as Situ Jin was thinking east and west, he heard the sound of "squeak, slap" from the bottom of the house, and suddenly, a long ladder was erected on the eaves with a "bang"!

Ye Jianqiu tremblingly climbed up this bamboo ladder, this ladder is quite old, not only the bamboo body is yellow and cracked, but also it makes a creaking sound when stepping on it, as if it will collapse in minutes!What frightened him even more was that the wind became stronger as he went up, and the ladder shook violently.The long ladder swayed elastically in the wind, and Ye Jianqiu could only hear the whistling wind. He didn't dare to look down, so he had to firmly grasp the sides of the ladder, sticking to the ladder and lifting it up three times at a time. The weak legs climbed firmly.

Finally, a small pale head slowly emerged from the eaves.

Seeing Situ Jin half leaning on the eaves, Ye Jianqiu grinned at him, then quickly put away his smile, and began to climb up the roof nervously with a bitter face.I saw him carefully picking off some slippery bricks and tiles on the roof of the house, lying down like a gecko with his buttocks pouted, and slowly moved to Situ Jin's side.

After he sat down next to Situ Jin, he breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Situ Jin raised her eyebrows and looked at him amusedly. In fact, he had noticed Ye Jianqiu a long time ago.

He looked for a ladder under the house, moved the ladder clumsily, looked for angles while moving, and put the ladder until he found the place closest to him.

Finally saw him climb up the roof clumsily, but Situ Jin didn't reach out to help him, to see if he could come up, unexpectedly this kid was really not afraid of death, he climbed up slowly.

Ye Jianqiu sat beside him, leaning on the still warm bricks on the roof and sighed: "This is really a good place!"

I saw that the sky was covered with red blood-like sunset glow, and the hot wind rushed towards me. The gust of wind messed up the neem tree beside the eaves, and the neem tree's branches covered half of the area. On the roof, a bunch of small purple and white flowers appear more fragrant from the heights.

Seeing that Situ Jin didn't speak, Ye Jianqiu took out a jug from his arms and handed it to him, saying, "This is my new fruit wine, try it."

Situ Jin took it and took a sip. It was sherbet, sweet and slightly sour.

Ye Jianqiu worriedly looked at the frowning Situ Jin and said, "I see you are not in a good mood, do you want to talk to me?"

Situ Jin smiled again, he had never seen such a servant who regarded himself as his friend so naturally.

"Talk about what?"

Situ Jin is a tough and handsome man, his smiling face is so tough and clean, the picturesque sunset is not even half as good as him, Ye Jianqiu's heart is full of tenderness.

He blushed and said: "We can talk about your troubles. If you don't talk about it, you will be distressed. If someone listens to it, he will share half of it for you if you don't need it."

"What do you know?"

Situ Jin glanced at him lazily, then raised her head and took another sip of the fruit wine.

Watching Situ Jin's strong and sexy Adam's apple move, Ye Jianqiu murmured: "I understand, you are worrying about how the brothers will get through this difficult time... Do you want to find a way to make your subordinates eat well? Or do you want to make money?"

Situ Jin suddenly turned her head and stared at him fiercely: "How do you know?!"

Ye Jianqiu was nervous, and stammered: "These things, these things are not secrets, everyone knows, even, even Ma Youdao knows..."

Situ Jin let out a long breath from his nostrils, lay powerlessly on the bricks and tiles, looked at the ever-changing colorful clouds in the sky, and said helplessly, "Are many people laughing at me behind my back?"

"No, everyone is praising you, saying that you value brotherhood and are upright."

Situ Jin shook her head secretly, this silly boy, flatter you!Does he not know himself?It is true that he values ​​brotherhood, and he will not feel guilty if he can make his brothers live well... Be upright?It's just meddling in a few unjust cases.

The two were silent for a while, Ye Jianqiu turned his face to Situ Jin and said, "Have you heard of the Construction Corps?"

"what for?"

"If the army is in difficulty, they can plant some fields like farmers. The so-called self-reliance, hard work, can have enough food and clothing."

"Does that mean that our inspection department has to farm the land like an old farmer?"

Situ Jin was a little displeased.

Ye Jianqiu patiently explained: "Don't stick to the old ways in difficulties. If possible, the sergeants in the army should also learn to spin flowers, plant the land, weave cloth, raise cattle and feed horses... The stability of the army is also a kind of long-lasting For war, food and supplies are also important conditions. The army must reclaim the fields without affecting combat training...""

"Play the piano!"

Situ Jin thought it was funny to think of Hai Daniu and the others sitting in front of the flower spinning machine like girls, so he shook his head firmly and said, "Who did you listen to?"

"My aunt, but her old man has passed away."

"It's a strange woman."

"um, yes."

Ye Jianqiu thought of her aunt always humming "Nanniwan": "The flowers in the flower basket are fragrant, listen to me sing, sing, sing..."

General Wang Zhen's [-]th Brigade was very famous back then. Not only did the whole army reclaim wasteland and farm by themselves, but also raised livestock, established agricultural cooperatives, engaged in diversified operations, and insisted on simultaneous development of agriculture, industry and commerce.Not only has the weak become strong, from small to large, but also the spirit of hard work has been passed on forever.

"You can also use your own people to do it, or hire some people to do it. Although the land here is barren, it can still grow food. No agriculture is unstable, no business is no life, if possible, use your own hardworking hands , a wise mind can also create a world..."

When Situ Jin heard Ye Jianqiu's words, she couldn't help but fell into deep thought. This method may indeed be feasible, and it is much better than relying solely on private investigations to make money. I should discuss it with Jin Bo first, and then find some land to try...

He felt relieved for a while, and couldn't help but turned his head to look at Ye Jianqiu and smiled slightly.

Ye Jianqiu's heart jumped again, he lowered his head uneasily, and quietly took out another fragrant peach from his bosom and handed it to Situ Jin, who held the pink peach in his hand Playing around, he casually said: "Where did this come from?"

"I planted it myself, this one is ripe first...it's been washed, you can eat it! If you like it, I'll keep another one for you later, otherwise Chaoge will snatch it away."

Situ Jin opened her mouth and bit it. It was really sweet and delicious. The skin was thin and juicy. After biting through the skin, just suck it lightly, and the juice and pulp can be sucked clean.

Seeing that Situ Jin ate deliciously, Ye Jianqiu happily held his cheeks and smiled sweetly. He took out a handful of sweet-scented osmanthus candies in his pocket and handed them to Situ Jin. Situ Jin looked at him with a strange expression: " Why are you like a treasure bowl?"

Ye Jianqiu blushed a little: "I just want to let you eat the best food..."

Situ Jin took the osmanthus candy slowly and gave him a meaningful look.

The two of them sat silently on the roof, watching the colorful clouds in the sky gradually turn to light gray, and a full moon shyly emerged from the clouds... At this time, the cold wind started to blow again. Jian Qiu took out another thick leather bag from somewhere, and gently covered Situ Jin's body.

Situ Jin was resting his hands on the back of his head looking at the moon in the sky, and felt a warm feeling on his body. He saw the thick leather covering his body, and couldn't help but take Ye Jianqiu's hand, and put something in his palm: "You Take a look at this, I picked it up at Yingtou Mountain, have you ever seen something similar in West Tuer Village?"

Ye Jianqiu felt the warmth of his palm, and felt a little relaxed and happy, but he still picked up the thing seriously and looked at the moon for a long time, and finally he smiled and said: "This is glass."

"Glass? You really know?"

Situ Jin was a little surprised.

"Yes!"

"Why don't you say it's crystal or glass?"

"Because it's not."

Ye Jianqiu shook his head, this is obviously a piece of rough glass, not only green in color, but also has air bubbles inside.Ye Jianqiu doesn't know much about glass, he just heard that the main component of colored glaze is silicon dioxide, and glass seems to be a mixture of sand and quartz.

Situ Jin looked at him noncommittally for a while, and finally said: "You are really interesting."

Ye Jianqiu lowered her head a little shyly.

Another gust of cold wind blew by, Ye Jianqiu couldn't help shivering, Situ Jin lifted a corner of the leather cover and said, "Lie here."

Ye Jianqiu happily lay beside Situ Jin, and carefully pressed the corner of his forehead against his broad shoulders. Situ Jin was like a warm and thick wall, so it felt safe to be next to him.

"Tell me more about the Construction Corps."

"Ok."

Ye Jianqiu thought for a while and said: "The area around Qingyang Town is vast and sparsely populated, and there are wastelands that can be reclaimed everywhere. You can first find some experienced old farmers to investigate which land is suitable for growing what kind of crops. Appropriate Ecological farms can also be built under certain conditions. For example, some livestock can be raised. These dry sandy lands are good for raising livestock. At the very least, cloven-hoofed livestock are not easy to get sick. The fertilizer of livestock can be used in the field, and the crops and straw in the field can be used to raise livestock. ..."

"...The wheat is about to be harvested now. When the wheat is harvested, the farmers will be idle. At this time, there will be a lot of manpower available. You can inspect the autumn crops, such as corn, soybeans, etc. If possible, you can also Plant some fruit trees, such as peaches, jujubes... Three-dimensional planting can also be carried out under the fruit trees, and some shorter crops, rapeseed, wheat seedlings, etc. can be planted, and some poultry can be put in when appropriate, not only for weeding and pest control, but also for planting. You can also use their feces as fertilizer...

"...The temperature difference here is large, cotton will be very suitable for growing here, and the economic value is also very high. As for the crops, I can also help. I have cultivated some potato sprouts, which are most suitable for planting in dry sandy land, with high yield and less pests , and can be used as staple food, it will definitely be very popular with the local people in the future..."

"...If you don't have enough manpower, you can also hire some local people to farm the land first. Their wages are not high, and they have more experience in farming than you. With the support of your army, the migrant workers can also do things freely. It is best to get some fertilizer on the sandy land in advance. I think skin and manure are fine. It is not too late to fertilize the land before planting. It is best to find the field near a water source, such as the Liusha River, and it is better to irrigate the land near the river. Convenience, by the way, do you have a waterwheel here? Using the principle of the waterwheel cycle, the water flow can be directed to the fields, saving labor and effort..."

"When the field work is over, you can also build some cooperatives to produce and sell your own agricultural products, such as grain, oil, cotton cloth, fruits, livestock, meat and eggs... At that time, the family members and children of your legion can also come to the cooperatives to help By doing business, not only can everyone earn money, but the sergeants can also relieve their worries and go to the front line with peace of mind..."

Ye Jianqiu kept talking, and Situ Jin stared at him intently.

I don't know how long it took, but after Ye Jianqiu finally finished speaking in one breath, he turned his head and saw a pair of shining eyes, he immediately closed his mouth, and said embarrassedly: "I don't know if I said these things right or not, You can ask some local people for advice, don’t make useless efforts, this is my crime.”

"It's okay, just say it, and I will look at the arrangement."

"Ah."

Situ Jin let out a long sigh, and silently looked at the colorful clouds covering the moon in the sky.

Ye Jianqiu also looked at the sky and smiled: "The moon is beautiful, isn't it?"

"It's beautiful."

"The moon is like walking in white cotton..."

"Yeah, it's really like white cotton..."

Time passed quickly, and the night was getting dark unconsciously. There were a few sounds of dogs barking and knocking clappers in the distance. When the two of them talked to the end, Situ Jin sat up and said, "Let's go to sleep! It's too late gone."

Ye Jianqiu blushed: "Well, listen to you."

Situ Jin stood up, stretched, and jumped off the high roof as soon as she jumped, as light as a feather, leaving only Ye Jianqiu on the roof dumbfounded.

Seeing Situ Jin leave without hesitation, he sighed a long time, put away the leather on the roof, and carefully climbed down the roof with his buttocks pouted...
