Chapter 10 Big Eaters
Prosecutor Feng was thinking about how to improve his plan when he suddenly heard someone talking and looked up and saw Su Su standing at the table.
Looking at Su Su's timid look in front of him, Feng Jian exaggeratedly: "Oh! It's a little scholar! Well, do you know these herbal patterns?"
Su Su's face turned pink and red. Others called Feng Jian the Lord Feng. She said behind her back that Feng Jian called her first name, while Feng Jian kept calling her a little scholar. This sounds strange, but it also feels a bit weird.
She thought Feng Jian would ask the literacy school about the matter as soon as he came up, but when she met, she asked her to see what herbal pictures were.
After a while of rushing, I came closer to see what herbal pictures were drawn on Feng Jian’s paper.
I saw that the tabletop was filled with plant pictures of different shapes, which were skewed to indicate the names of some plant medicinal herbs and their simple uses.
Looking closely at the words on the paper, she couldn't help laughing out loud. She quickly covered her mouth with her hands and looked at Feng Jian, but she saw that Feng Jian seemed to be indifferent. After carefully reading the text introduction on the paper again, she understood that Feng Jian was drawing Chinese herbal plants.
"Well, Feng Xiaoqi is drawing Chinese herbal plants! I can't recognize them if I don't know them carefully! I remember that there are several medical books in my father's collection, and there are many graphics in it."
"You have a ready-made one at home, why didn't you say it earlier?" Feng Jian was a little surprised.
Su Su glared at Feng Jian, and his bright eyes were filled with anger: "Why should I say it earlier...I mean...How could I know that sir needs it!"
Feeling the look of the eyes glaring with charm, Feng Jian touched his chin and turned his gaze to the side. He really couldn't stand this charming gaze. Feng Jian really wanted to pull Su Su to actually check whether she was a man or a woman, otherwise she would be caught by her eyes sooner or later.
"That's right. I came to you just to ask you to teach some people the ability to distinguish herbs in the shortest time. There are many precious herbs on this mountain. I plan to organize the people of Jishaozhuang to go to the mountain to collect herbs, keep them as Jishao for their own use or transport them outside the mountain to exchange for food and food."
Su Su said with a surprised expression: "Don't you know?"
"I don't know what?" Feng Jian looked confused.
Seeing Feng Jian confused, Su Su tried to hold back his smile and explained: "The villagers usually have headaches and fevers. They go up the mountain to pick some herbs to treat diseases. Most farmers in the mountain can identify herbs, so they can use humans to teach them!"
The farmers live in poverty and collect medicines for minor illnesses and disasters. After long-term practice, some people have learned the medicinal properties of many wild herbs, and even surpassed doctors in their understanding of some herbs.
Even the medical saint Li Shizhen admitted that many Chinese herbal medicines included in "Compendium of Materia Medica" were recognized and understood through the introduction of old farmers.
Feng Jian really doesn’t know about these things!
Later generations were filled with people. Not to mention herbs in the mountains and forests, even the trees on the mountains were cut down completely. Who would later generations identify any herbs? If you are sick, go directly to get a drip.
However, the population in this era is still too small, and medicine is underdeveloped. Some wild herbs are spread all over the mountains and sieges and no one can pick them!
Feng Jian deliberately said with a bitter face: "Hey, if I had known these, I would have painted all day long, so I was so tired."
Looking at Feng Jian’s bitter look, Su Su finally couldn’t help but giggle.
Just as he was laughing vigorously, he suddenly found that Feng Jian looked at him with a strange look. He quickly covered his mouth and stopped for a while before saying, "Well, is there anything wrong? I'll go back first."
Feng Jian couldn't help but say, "Su Su, why do I always think your behavior is like a woman? Come here and let me touch it!
Su Su was stunned for a moment, her white cheeks quickly turned pink, and she looked at Feng Jian with bright eyes and said, "You, you bandit, I'll go back first if you have nothing to do." She hurriedly ran away from Feng Jian's office.
Feng Jian said: "Hey, don't leave, I'll just say it casually. I'm a bandit, and you're also a bandit!"
Su Su, who was walking out of the house, staggered and almost fell down!
"Hey, don't leave, I'll ask you about the literacy school!" Feng Jian shouted a little scoundrel.
…………………………………………………………………………
In the Huluyan Mountain Village Conference Hall, Hu Dadao and five other leaders of the corps were sitting around the head of the commander Xu Ma gang, and several senior officials of Huluyan were meeting.
On the Eight Immortals Table beside Xu Ma Gang, there were a few cut watermelons, and the chewed watermelon peel was thrown around the table.
The weather was hot, and several people were covered in sweat. It felt like the wind blowing out from the palm fan was full of heat. On this hot day, eating a few pieces of watermelon soaked in cold water would definitely relieve heat and quench thirst. However, there were many people on the mountain and few land, and only the commander and the five leaders could enjoy these seasonal fruits.
Xu Ma Gang fanned the big palm fan in his hand and looked around the five leaders of the corps and said, "In addition to the Jishou people who led the mountain village, our Huluyan already has ten outposts, with a population of nearly 4,000. Of course, most of them are old, weak, women and children, and young and strong accounts for less than 20%. That is, the terrain around our Huluyan is wide, and we can only barely support everyone, which means that feeding 4,000 people is the limit of Huluyan."
Yan Zhanwei, the leader of the Second Corps, wiped the sweat from his face with his hand and said, "Grand Commander, according to the villain, the copycat feeds those women, children, the elderly and young is simply a waste of food. It is better to drive these people out of the copycat, leaving only young and strong people to exist."
Yan Zhanwei fled from another place, alone and could not experience the difficulties of bringing family members.
Xu Mabang looked at Yan Zhanwei and said in a lesson: "Old Yan, please pay attention to your tone and occasion when speaking. Almost all the leaders here have their families in the parody. Please ask them if they agree to drive the women, children, young and old from the parody!"
Yan Zhanwei looked at the leaders who glared at him and said, "The villain is also thinking about the copycat..."
Jiang Saner, the leader of the First Corps, followed the Xu Ma Gang first. He was a confidant of Xu Ma Gang. He was short and strong and rude.
He pointed at Yan Zhanwei and scolded: "Think about the clique. I know best what kind of bird man are you! What else do you deserters from Liaodong do besides killing and setting fire?"
Xu Ma Gang glanced at Yan Zhanwei with a gloomy face and shouted: "Shut up, Leader Yan is also thinking about the copycat. He just speaks without saying anything for a moment. You should not go too far."
Jiang Saner gasped in a depressed state, picked up half of the watermelon and started to chew it.
Yan Zhanwei didn't say anything again, but stared at Jiang Saner with a gloomy face, and the corners of his mouth kept shaking, and he couldn't see it if he didn't pay attention.
Hu Dadao smoothed out the situation and said, "Grand Commander, Huluyan should strictly limit the increase in the population in the future, and mobilize the villagers in the village to reclaim as much wasteland as possible."
Xu Mabang nodded and said, "Lao Hu, you are right. You must find a way to increase wasteland reclamation in the future."
Xu Ma Gang intends to ease the atmosphere and then asked, "Has that boy Feng Jian planted winter wheat?"
When talking about Feng Jian, Hu Dadao's face turned obviously and showed his merits, saying, "It's still the commander who knows people. Under Feng Jian's leadership, Jishou has only been more than ten days. The fertilization and sowing of farmland has been completely over, and it has not delayed the opportunity to sow."
"This is true! How did he do it?"
Several of the copycat senior executives present, including Commander Xu, all showed surprise on their faces.
Xu Ma Gang laughed and said, "This boy! It seems that this commander is really right. Lao Hu, tell me in detail how they reclaimed land and farmed?"
Hu Dadao explained: "It's simple to put it bluntly. He did not divide the land reclamation into each household like other posts in the village, and let each household cultivate the fields separately. According to this kid, he concentrated all the young and strong laborers in his post and cultivated land collectively. The old and young posts were responsible for boiling water and cooking for everyone. After harvesting in the next year, they went out to distribute grain according to the amount of effort each person was working. It is said that as long as the young and old posts participated in labor, they would have harvests in the next year. Strangely speaking, this large group of people gathered together to cultivate fields much faster than each household alone. They planted winter wheat on their posts. Our Wushou and the farmhouse families had just finished plowing the fields." Hu Dadao said and gestured, trying to make it clear and intuitive.
Xu Ma Gang nodded and exclaimed: "I didn't expect that this kid Feng Jian could come up with such a good idea. If I have the chance, the commander of this Grand Priest went to his own post to check it out."
Hu Dadao hurriedly said, "The commander went to his post to investigate in person. The villain welcomed the commander to come on behalf of Feng Jian and the people in the village of Jishou!"
Xu Mabang smiled and said, "You are just Hu Dadao's tricks. I will just talk about it casually. You are serious!"
Seeing that the leaders had returned to normal, Xu Ma Gang continued: "September is coming, from now to the New Year, this is the slack season, and there is nothing to do in the escorts of the village. Our Huluyan has to go down the mountain to make grass valleys every year to supplement the insufficient food rations of the village, and this year is naturally no exception."
When the five leaders saw that the Xu Ma Gang was talking about the main topic, they sat down carefully and listened carefully to what the Xu Ma Gang said. Because going down the mountain to hunt grass valley was related to the interests of each corps themselves, you must listen carefully to the details of the grass valley.
When the Xu Ma Gang saw the five leaders listening carefully, he continued: "After returning, the leaders should intensify the supervision of the guards to practice martial arts and exercise. Recently, we are preparing to go down the mountain to do a vote. This commander received the news that a court official named Shi, a Tao family platform 20 miles southwest of Huluyan, built a separate fort outside the village. The fort was completed. A birthday banquet will be held in the fort in the past few days. The commander of the Grand Commander has a secret sentry in the fort and plans to break the fort in the inside and outside on the day of the birthday party of Shi."
Jiang Saner, who was not concerned about Xu Magang's words, said, "I heard that this retired official surnamed Shi. This is a damn thing. I heard that the entire fort covers an area of 30 acres. From the outside, it looks like a small city. The walls are more than 1 meter high, and there are servants patrolling and guarding day and night, and there is even a trench more than 1 meter wide around the fort..."
It seemed that Xu Ma Gang did not blame him for interrupting, but just snorted, prompting Jiang Saner to stop speaking, and then said: "This retired official surnamed Shi is also afraid of robbery. He has more than 100 strong servants in the fort. He heard that these servants were equipped with several bird guns, and there were people patrolling and guarding the wall day and night. Only when the suspension bridge was put down during the day can he enter and exit the fort. When the suspension bridge was closed, no one was allowed to enter and exit."
Yan Zhanwei whispered: "Just from the fact that he built such a big village fort, you can tell that it is not a good bird at all. We should be robbing this person. Such an official must have many beautiful concubines, and they will be snatched to the mountain with money and food..."
