On May 13, the fourth year of Chongzhen, all peaks under Huluyan began to enter the wheat harvest period. Huluyan now has a population of nearly 100,000, and the per capita three acres of land reclamation, almost half of the fields are planted with wheat.

In order to speed up the progress of wheat harvest, Feng Jian ordered the three thousand headquarters of Zhenshan Camp to send their mutual aid associations under Huluyan to assist wheat harvesting in units of bureaus.

With more than 3,000 Zhenshan Camp soldiers participating in the wheat harvest, the Huluyan Mutual Aid Association successfully completed this year's wheat harvest after only three days. After that, the soldiers of Zhenshan Camp returned to the troops to continue normal training.

On the huge Huluyan square, there are nearly a hundred tall wheat warehouses. The heads of each household of the village are lined up to wait for the mutual aid club to settle the harvest that the mutual aid club should return to the farmers.

According to the rules of the Mutual Aid Association, the households of the Mutual Aid Association sign an agreement with the Mutual Aid Association to transfer their own fields to the Mutual Aid Association. When the fields are harvested, the Mutual Aid Association will collect 30% of all the fields and the remaining harvest will be distributed to the Mutual Aid Association for the public ownership of the Mutual Aid Association. The remaining harvest will be distributed according to the number of land acres of each household.

The heads of each household who were waiting in line had their own little calculations, thinking about how much wheat would remain in their family after the mutual aid would collect and store public grains, and whether it would support the whole family's annual rations.

I didn't know, but after I was shocked, I found that except for mutual aid, I would draw public rations, each household earned more than the grain I harvested from renting a parcel field.

In other words, the mutual aid association has more food in the hands of the copycat households than the original food they get from farming.

How could this happen? The farmers cannot figure out the reason. The explanation given by Mutual Aid will be given to the explanation that continuous farming fields can greatly leverage the advantages of the land to form a scale, and their manpower and material resources will reduce the investment in fertilization of fields. If the saved resources are invested on the fields, the natural harvest will be more.

What is the answer? The villagers heard it and felt foggy!

But no matter what, the past is tiring and hard work in the past, and the harvest is not as good as it is now. Just return such food to the mutual aid association. The farmers think that mutual aid can bring great benefits, so they naturally firmly support and support the mutual aid association.

Feng Jian took a book of public grain collection and storage in his Mutual Aid Association and flipped through several pages. The book ended with the last note that the copycat had planted wheat and harvested 19,610 stones, and the collection and storage of public grain of Mutual Aid Association was 5,883 stones.

The remaining grain can be harvested by three stones and five dou of grain per capita. The wheat harvest alone can save Huluyan Village residents from hunger anymore!

Feng Jian believes that when the people of various villages under Huluyan see the gains of Huluyan Mutual Aid Association, they will naturally flock to the production and operation of the Mutual Aid Association. These are all their own use of their later experience to basically solve the problem of dependent people’s food!

On May 17, the fourth year of Chongzhen, the magistrate Chen Suwen stood in the middle of the lobby and announced: "The emperor heard that you led the Zhouxun Camp to wipe out 60,000 bandits and bandits in Daze Mountain. I am deeply pleased with your loyalty and courage. I issued an order to reward you with 500 taels of silver, a silk official garment, two jade belts inlaid with gold wire, and a pair of Western silk pocket watches..."

After saying that, he turned around and took the imperial gift from Chen Fu who was standing behind him. He turned to look at Feng Jian. Feng Jian had already left his seat and knelt down with the envious jealous eyes of the local officials in Pingdu Prefecture around him, kowtowed to Chen Suwen, and shouted in his mouth for thanking the emperor for his gift. Then he raised his hands high and took the imperial gift from him.

Feng Jian didn't see the gifts of silver clothes and other gifts, but he was extremely happy with the pair of Western filigree pocket watches. For those who are used to looking at time and life, pocket watches represent not only time, but also the concept of people through pocket watches can be replaced by minutes and seconds. Especially on the battlefield, both parties agreed to launch within the same time. The effects of comparison with pocket watches and not having pocket watches are completely different.

Chen So-wen looked at Feng Jian and said, "Feng Shoujie has shared his worries for the emperor twice in a row, and has made contributions to my Pingdu local area. He has heard of him with the emperor's holy hearing with a small body. This is something that has not been heard of for a long time. This is an opportunity for Feng Shoujie and an honor for me to stay tuned. I hope Feng Shoujie will continue to work hard and live up to the emperor's kindness."

Of course, Feng Jian kowtowed repeatedly to express his gratitude and goodwill to the cultivation of the magistrate.

When the congratulatory people in the back hall retreated, Chen Suwen sat down and smiled and said, "Before the New Year, I promised me that the biggest bandit in Daze Mountain will be wiped out within one year. Who would have thought it would be realized in such a short time? It can be seen that the nephew is really a trustworthy person! You have reported the specific battle. I am very yearning for your fighting power in Zhenshan Camp. I still have to observe it if I find the right opportunity."

When talking to Chen Suwen alone, Feng Jian looked very relaxed, "My uncle is too good. My nephew can destroy the thieves in Daqingfeng. Without the weapons and firearms assigned by my uncle, my nephew and his subordinate soldiers will never be able to destroy many thieves. My nephew will thank my uncle for thanking me."

Chen Suowen laughed and said, "Let's not talk about two families. Now the Zhouxun Camp has been renovated. Your subordinates can move in with confidence. In addition, your garrison house has also sent someone to renovate for you, so you can welcome your mother to move in."

Feng Jian said gratefully: "Thank you, uncle for his thoughtful arrangement!"

Chen So-heard said: "The dredging of the Nanjiaolai River is progressing smoothly. I expect to drive the ship in two months. Governor Sun came to Han. When the dredging of the Jiaolai River is opened, he will personally lead two lucky ships to congratulate him!"

On the eighth day of the sixth month of the fourth year of Chongzhen, after a tedious ceremony of three media and six recruitment, today is the happy day for Feng Jian to marry the bride. The bride is Chen Lilan, the daughter of the prefect of Pingdu Prefecture.

It is a big event for the garrison of the Zhouxun Camp to marry the magistrate’s daughter in Pingdu City. For several days, this news has become a topic that most people in the city are talking about.

Early in the morning, the Bingbei Mansion in Zhouxunying began to hang colorful ribbons on the lights and hang colorful ribbons. The red characters "Happy" were pasted around the Bingbei Mansion, which was a joyful atmosphere. Every household in Huluyan rushed to the Pingdu City Governor's garrison to deliver their homes to their congratulations on the newlyweds.

At this moment, Feng Jian had already gone to Chen's mansion to marry the bride, but the guard's mansion was full of guests. Needless to say, the leading figures in Huluyan's military and political aspects were all present. In addition, all officials from the prefectures in Pingdu City came to congratulate him. In addition, the wealthy merchants and gentry families such as the Cui family in Pingdu also sent out leading figures to congratulate him.

At this moment, in the front hall of the garrison palace, Feng Jian's mother was wearing silk clothes and full of joy. A young woman in her twenties stood beside her, and she was dressed up completely. From her eyebrows, she was vaguely similar to Feng Jian.

From time to time, people came in and out of the lobby to congratulate Feng's mother and presented their own congratulations. Whenever a young man in his twenties who was standing on the lower head of Feng's mother's left would take the initiative to come forward to take the congratulations and thank the people.

Feng Jian’s mother looked at the constant congratulations inside and outside the hall, and felt a lot of emotion. She had never dreamed that her son would be promoted to a fifth-rank official, nor would she have thought that she would marry the daughter of the magistrate. Now she has become accustomed to the huge changes that have happened to her son in a short period of time. The old man can do even the unexpected things that are unexpected to his son!

No matter which lady he is from, he is the Feng family’s wife when he married. When a mother saw someone breaking her branches for the Feng family, she also missed her thoughts.

Chen Lilan, a new daughter-in-law, has been with her for a few days. Except for being a little scheming, she is impeccable in all aspects. Alas, Su Su's child is lifeless and cannot be my son's wife. She should persuade her if she takes time!

Feng's mother turned to the young woman standing by and serving her, "Juan'er, go and remind your Lin Dong, and you must not be confused in various rituals in your brother's entry later."

"Yes, my child will go over and give in to him now!"

Needless to say, this young woman is Feng Jian’s sister Feng Juan, and the young man in charge of receiving the guests is Feng Juan’s husband Lin Dong.

Now Lin Dong is the general accountant of Huluyan Dayou Grain Bank. In addition to the shopkeeper Pan Zhaoying, he has the greatest power in the grain bank.

This Dayou Grain Store was originally owned by Cui's family, a wealthy businessman in the city. Lin Dong was an apprentice in the accounting department. A few days ago, the profitable grain store was suddenly bought by someone, and the shopkeeper was replaced by a fat middle-aged man.

This middle-aged man was naturally Pan Zhaoying. When he heard that Huluyan was going to open a grain shop in Pingdu City, the Cui family in Pingdu immediately reduced the Dayou Grain Store to transfer it to Huluyan at an extremely low price. Pan Zhaoying was the first shopkeeper of Huluyan Grain Store.

After accepting Dayou Grain Store, Lin Dong's identity was naturally investigated clearly, so Feng Jian's elder brother-in-law was quickly promoted to Dayou Grain Store's grand accountant.

Feng Juan'er came to Lin Dong and said with a little distressed feeling: "Some things are left to others to deal with, don't be too tired."

Lin Dong smiled and said, "When my wife and uncle get married, all the rituals are absolutely careless, and I am willing to work hard for my husband a little."

Suddenly, a noise came from the courtyard, and the person on duty in the courtyard came in to report: "Old lady, the groom has come out of the house to marry the bride."

Feng's mother arrived quickly: "Hurry and connect the newcomer!"

In an instant, the entire garrison house played trumpets and suona, firecrackers and drums, and smoke drifted away. A pair of newlyweds in big red auspicious clothes pulled the red silk slowly towards the wedding venue.

After all the cumbersome ceremonies, the bride was sent back to the back hall to rest in the wedding bridal chamber, and Feng Jian came forward again to greet the guests who came to congratulate him.

The Tongzhi of Pingdu Prefecture first came to congratulate Feng Jian first, followed by the six magistrates of the prefecture, Cui Chengyong, and the heads of several other wealthy families in Pingdu City congratulated Feng Jian in front of the mountain.

These people all had smiles on their faces, with respect and intimate expressions. They called the garrison master Fang Zengwei, and they all came to the prefecture to conquer more than 60,000 bandits in Daze Mountain, and were truly promising people.

Feng Jian had no airs at all and greeted everyone with a smile. It was not until the top figures of Huluyan's military and political parties finally congratulated Shanqian.

Xu Yannian, Zhao Shougang, Huang Fuchun, Shen Xiaoshan, Zhou Wei, Jiao Keli, Cheng Yousheng, Fan Li, Sun Fang, Qin Huaibao, Hu Dake and others came forward to congratulate each other one by one. Feng Jian looked at the people in front of him. These people are now dependent on their own hands, and they are the powerful builders and promoters of Huluyan Zhenshan Camp!
