scientific farming

How can the enemy generals be subdued by mere bamboo tube rice and vegetable pickled rice?That must not be the case, he didn't care about Xiao Lue, he rode on the horse generously and said with a smile: "Since the besieged city has enough food and grass, I will wait a few more days to see whether it is you who have enough food and grass or me who is patient enough." !"

Song Wen bared his white teeth, thinking about waiting, you'd better wait for a month, wait for Gou Tou to bring the imperial soldiers and horses here, and kill you without leaving a single piece!

But Xiao Lue changed his mind.

When the reinforcements arrived, they would naturally be able to fight back, but when the imperial court withdrew their troops, Xiao Lue would definitely follow him back to the capital, it was impossible to guard the besieged city.The enemy country can completely retreat first, wait for the court soldiers to withdraw, and then come to disturb, without any delay.

The Dali Dynasty's army can naturally win, but the Dali Dynasty has a vast territory, and the army can't stop stationing in the besieged city, so the nuisance of the enemy country will always exist.As long as the Dali Dynasty really moves, and the whole fights to the enemy country, the neighboring countries in the east, west and north will immediately take the opportunity to send troops, and the Dali Dynasty will definitely be defeated in the end.

Now there are generals guarding everywhere, but the besieged city in the south was unguarded in the past, and there were wars all the year round.Later, Xiao Lue guarded the city, and it was a little stable for a few years. Now Xiao Lue can no longer guard it. It must be that the enemy army attacked the city all the year round. The Dali Dynasty sent troops to fight back, attack again, and fight back again.

Xiao Lue wanted to be ruthless, it would be best if he could directly knock down the enemy country and not be able to regroup in a short period of time.It just so happened that Song Wen made gunpowder... Now that the imperial decree has not arrived, Xiao Lue can't mobilize more than 3000 soldiers and horses in the city. Although Zheng Zhengbiao is an idiot, he can threaten him, but he cannot go past him.It can only force the enemy to take the initiative to attack the city, that's not enough, naturally Xiao Lue can take the opportunity to attack.

To force the enemy to take the initiative to attack, as long as there is plenty of food and grass in the city, it is useless to besiege the city, and reinforcements are coming soon. It is impossible for the enemy to stand it!

From then on, three times a day on the city wall, a time was set for cooking and eating, and the enemy generals also set a time to appear, a picture of how long your food and grass can last.Xiao Lue was naturally very active. As soon as Huihui's generals appeared, he ate and drank on the city wall, showing in all directions that the besieged city had not only enough food and grass, but also many tricks.

No one else had any idea how intense the contest between the enemy general and Xiao Lue was.

It's just that the enemy soldiers besieging the city shouted from top to bottom that the smell of soup, water and rice made their hearts flustered.The dry rations in his hand couldn’t be eaten no matter what, even if he managed to eat it and was full, and smelled the layered and proper meat and vegetables fragrance wafting from the walls of the impoverished city, his mouth felt very hungry!

The enemy general was bald thinking about it.

Let the besieged soldiers go back to eat and drink in shifts, one team and one team change shifts, and all the besieged soldiers can rotate once a day, but the besieged city cooks and eats three times a day, which is not possible at all.If they go back to eat in batches, as soon as there is any movement, Xiao Lue will immediately transfer the archers to serve, and only focus on the meal time to do it, it can be said to be very annoying.

It would be even worse if they were prepared from the camp and sent over to eat.As long as they dare to send it over, Xiao Lue will be able to serve with archers again immediately!

After going back and forth like this for two or three days, the enemy general suddenly lost his temper.

Song asked the eye poison, and immediately saw the difference. Whether he was really thin or not, he opened his mouth and said, "Hey, general, is there a shortage of food and grass in the country? Why have you become hungry and thin in just a few days?"

The enemy general was so angry that he ate three large bowls of rice and half a roast leg of lamb when he returned home.

Three times a day at the gate of the city, eating and tossing, making "firecrackers" and farming in the besieged city did not stop.

The "firecrackers" were in charge of Xiao Lue, Ah Da, and Ah Er.Xiao Lue still feels that it is not easy to cut the bamboo tube, and if someone gets the "firecracker" installed, it is very easy to find out what is inside and the corresponding proportion.Even if they take more precautions, they may be in danger.

Song Wen thought of modern firecrackers. When he was a child, there was a kind of Qianzi Cannon. After a string of crackling firecrackers was set off, he would always see a few that hadn't exploded. After re-igniting the fuse, it would explode again.

So I reminded: "Maybe it can be wrapped in paper and wrapped tightly. Paper is easy to burn, and once it is blown up, it will not be like a bamboo tube. Some things can still be found on the blown bamboo pieces. The paper will be blown to pieces immediately. .”

"The paper bag is too tight. If you throw it out, the flint can't hit it. How can it burn?" Ada asked, "Do we still need to use arrows to start the fire?"

Song asked: "..."

As an ordinary modern office worker, he really doesn't know what bombs are. Firecrackers are the ones he plays with the most, and the more advanced ones are those that are stacked half the height of a person. If you take He is useless for fighting.

Xiao Lue looked at Song Wen, saw that he had an innocent face, and touched his head in a funny way to comfort him.

Song Wen conveniently pulled down the hand on the head, leaned over and kissed it, the roles were reversed in an instant, Xiao slightly blushed, and looked back at Song Wen innocently.

Song Wen winked at him.

Xiao slightly coughed, pretending to be calm and said: "If others can't easily know our recipe from the prepared firecrackers, I think it's better to make the saltpeter, realgar and oil according to the proportion, grind them all, and then try Try grinding the flint into it, and wrapping it layer by layer with oiled paper."

Ah Da frowned: "Flint is ground, it is very easy to catch fire."

Ah Er also felt that it was impossible: "It's just that the flint didn't catch fire during the grinding process, and the crushed powder was wrapped up. When carrying it, or putting it on the body, it would catch fire if it didn't move. I'm afraid it won't work."

"Add an oil wick as a lead wire for ignition?" Song Wen could only give his opinion according to the method of making firecrackers, "Make the lead wire longer, light it on fire, and throw it out directly. Try a few more times, and the moment you throw it out, Explode it directly. This way, you won’t be afraid that the enemy will rob things halfway, so you can go back and learn how to build them after dismantling them.”

Xiao Lue agreed: "This method is also good, it can be used for long-distance attack."

As for the ones that are close and can be placed on the body, Xiao slightly took out the flint in his arms, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, and said pleasantly, "We pack ordinary flints and put them in our arms. Be careful and it is not easy to catch fire directly. It takes a lot of money." It takes a lot of force to hit the fire. After the flint is ground into powder, we only need to wrap the flint with another layer, then pack it with other powders, seal it with paper, and isolate it from each other. Naturally, it is not afraid to carry it or put it on the body. Fire."

"If you want to use it, just smash it on the ground and hit it violently. The flint powder will naturally ignite sparks, burn the outer layer of wrapping, and then come into contact with the firecracker powder outside..."

It is rare for Xiao Lue to be so emotional, his eyes are like a night sky, and the stars are lit one after another in it, "There is no need to ignite the fire, no fuse, and it can explode with only a little effort."

Great job, General Xiao!

Unexpectedly, Xiao Lue directly thought of the modern firecrackers played by children who were smashed hard and exploded on the spot. Song Wen felt more and more that he had a good vision. Xiao Lue, who is so smart, is now Mrs. Song!

"How?" Seeing that Song Wen didn't speak, Xiao slightly looked at himself with a smile and asked carefully.

Song Wen stretched out his hand and patted Xiao Lue's shoulder, exclaiming: "General Xiao is talented enough to deserve the name of Mrs. Song, don't be afraid!"

Xiao Lue: "..."

Turning around silently, Ada and Aer, who had been accustomed to it for a long time, and then worked silently after listening to Song Wen's words, studied the matter of turning into powder together.After all, it's easy to say, but how to break the flint, how to wrap it well, and ensure that it can explode when smashed on the ground, you have to try it out.

Mrs. Song is thin-skinned, and Song Wen expressed that it is understandable.For the latter matter, he didn't need to be present, so he let go of farming.

The impoverished city is further south, and it will be hotter in the future. It is even more difficult to grow food and vegetables, and it is necessary to find a way to protect yourself from the sun.But right now, the fields must be reclaimed first.

The county magistrate of the impoverished city had already reported dozens of households in the city with insufficient food, and Ah Mian went to see them one by one.Those who only have old people or women at home will help to cook on the city wall, replace the defenders, and eat with the food on the city wall.There are men in the family, and they all follow Ah Mian to farm.

Ah Mian has become a good farmer after her days of farming in the Yamen of Chang'an in the capital city. She is able to lead these people to the roadsides in the besieged city, in front of and behind the house, wherever mud can be seen with the naked eye, They are all reclaimed.

When Song Wen went there, half of the besieged city had been reclaimed.There are also some people who have food in their homes, and follow Ah Mian's example, thinking that they can grow some vegetables in the empty space in their yards, so that when the food is not enough, they can always have a full stomach just eating vegetables.

Gathered up like this, it will be a mess, which is really not conducive to the progress of reclamation.

Song Wen directly called over all the people who had food in their homes and didn't need to work, and told them to let them wait a while. The vegetables grown in their yard were almost enough, and it would be bad to grow more.When the outside is finished, he will visit each family and teach them to grow vegetables in other ways, even without land.

Can you grow without land?real or fake?The people in the besieged city had never heard of it, and they all looked suspicious.

Ah Mian was not happy: "My young master is farming in the yamen of the capital. Even the emperor and the queen mother went to the yamen to watch the young master's farming. The people in the capital call the young master the county magistrate for farming!"

Farming county magistrate?Song Wen really never heard that he still has such a nickname among the people in the capital!It's really too ugly, but looking at Ah Mian showing off with a proud face, it's hard to say anything in her heart.

Song Wen was not happy to have this nickname, but the people in the impoverished city were very convinced when they heard what Ah Mian said.They all heard that Song Wen was the number one scholar in Jinke, and the emperor appointed him to be the county magistrate of Chang'an in the capital.

Before, due to the dwindling stock of food, insufficient food and grass for the defenders, and the siege of the city by the enemy, the people in the besieged city were somewhat in suspense. When Xiao Lue arrived, they were relieved, but they found that Xiao Lue had brought few people with him, and the food and grass were not enough. No, I still haven't completely let go of my heart.

Now that I heard that the magistrate of farming came here from the capital, what are you afraid of!

Song asked them to look with admiration and their faces burned. He hurriedly pulled Ah Mian to stop him from bragging. I hope it can be donated to irrigate the fields that Ah Mian and the others have reclaimed before. First fertilize the land and raise it so that the vegetables can grow quickly.

Farming here is in full swing.

When Zheng Zhengbiao got tired of sleeping, he got up and went out, and found that the city was filled with the smell of human and animal feces, and it was everywhere, floating around, following him like a shadow, and he couldn't escape no matter what.

He asked a commoner to ask, and learned that Song Wen did it, and he wanted to farm the land!The goddamn land has not been planted, and the food has not been found, so the people in the city don't have to be afraid of starving to death, they can stink to death first!

Immediately, he was furious and went to Song Wen to question him face to face.

But Song Wen was busy, so he really didn't have the time to talk to him. When he saw Zheng Zhengbiao approaching aggressively, he just took out the Emperor's Token from his bosom without saying a word.

Zheng Zhengbiao: "..."

Silently step back a few steps, turn around and leave, go back to the house and close the door, resolutely not to appear in this city full of "smells"!
