Chapter 264 - Production Construction

"This year's crops are growing very well." Zhao Chen laughed.

Curved End, Yu Yunwen and the others also followed Zhao Chen down the horse, arriving at the center of the field. Yu Yunwen had already plucked a spike, picked out a grain of wheat, and was gently chewing on it.

"Your Majesty, this grain of wheat is exceptionally plump. From the looks of it, this year will be a harvest time. " Yu Yunwen said after a while.

His parents were both farmers, so he was very familiar with crops. After observing for a while, he finally understood how crops were harvested this year.

"That's right!" Zhao Chen nodded.

He looked around him and saw the lush and verdant wheat field s. Farther away was a field of sorghum fields. Standing there, with the breeze blowing, Zhao Chen had a feeling that he had returned to the modern world. Such scenes are often seen in modern rural areas.

Just as they were talking, dozens of young men suddenly ran over from the wheat field.

These youths all had a wooden stick in their hands. Some of them even had spears in their hands.

They had just received news that an army had passed through here, so they rushed over.

As they got closer and closer to the army, they realized that this was their own army.

"Could it be that the Western Xia army has returned?"

"Could it be that His Majesty has returned?"

Such a thought suddenly appeared in the minds of these young men, and they all took large strides forward, running forward as fast as they could. When they reached the front of the army, they just happened to see Zhao Chen, Curved End, Yu Yunwen and the rest who were standing in wheat field.

"AHH!" Your Majesty! "

"It really is His Majesty!"

All the youths stood there dumbly. After a moment, they all kneeled down abruptly with excited expressions on their faces.

"We pay our respects to Your Majesty!"

"Long live Your Majesty!"

Immediately, one youth after another began to shout.

"All of you, get up quickly. I have said it many times before, do not kneel in the army anymore. You all belong to the Production and Construction Corps, and are soldiers, so you don't need to kneel down and kowtow. " Zhao Chen said.

Looking at these youths, he had a very warm feeling. After staying in the Western Xia for almost half a year, he was overjoyed to see his compatriots.

"Your Majesty, you've returned from the Western Xia?" A young man stood up from the field and asked excitedly.

"Of course." Zhao Chen laughed.

"Your Majesty, did you defeat the Western Xia Army?" The young man looked at Zhao Chen and asked urgently.

"Of course it is the Western Xia army. We have wiped out three hundred thousand of Western Xia's main forces, and forced Western Xia to give up Spirit Province, Liang Zhou, Salt Province, and Tranquil State. We have drove countless of Party member to Guan Shan, but they came from Qin Feng Road, so you can't see them. Now, the Western Xia was dead. From today onwards, Western Xia will no longer be able to harm our Song Dynasty. " Zhao Chen looked at these youths, and said loudly.

"AHH!" What? The Western Xia live and die? "

"Xixia's main force has been completely defeated?"

"Has the Spirit State, Liang Zhou returned my Song Dynasty?"

The youths were stunned once again. A moment later, expressions of ecstasy appeared on their faces.

Just as they were talking, tens of youths arrived in the distance.

They first paid their respects to Zhao Chen, and then heard the words of the surrounding youths, immediately becoming ecstatic.

"Western Xia was actually completely defeated by us? I really wonder if I heard wrong? "

"Party member has stolen from the Northwest for over a hundred years. Our Song Dynasty has been powerless against them. In just half a year, his Majesty had almost exterminated the Western Xia? This is unbelievable! "

"His Majesty is naturally different from others! His Majesty was a Saint, so as long as he followed closely behind his Majesty, he would naturally be able to achieve victory. Not to mention the Western Xia, even women are not worth mentioning. "

The youths discussed excitedly.

Now, Zhao Chen was riding on his horse again. He was going to lead the army back to Wu Gong County.

However, just as he walked a few steps, another young man came from afar. These young men stopped Zhao Chen's horse and soldiers' horses, and the leading young man strongly urged the army to go into his village. The expressions of the youths were all filled with anticipation. Zhao Chen thought for a while, then smiled and nodded.

The surrounding farmlands were scattered one after another. There were also more than ten villages here. The great army entered into different villages.

Zhao Chen, Curved End, Yu Yunwen and the rest entered the largest manor.

This manor was filled with thatched cottages, and the entire manor gave off the feeling of "plain and simple." From the looks of it, the village had just been established not long ago. Zhao Chen called the village chief over and inquired. Sure enough, this village was built by himself after Production and Construction Corps arrived here. There were now more than three hundred 'villagers' in the manor, but they had more than five thousand mu of crops. The population of this era was not even a tenth of that of the future generations, and there were many lands. Adding on the fact that Guan Shan had fought in battles before, there would be even less people. According to the youths, some "villages" were even more excessive than this village. A youth was responsible for 20 to 30 mu of land.

"So much land? Can you finish farming? " Zhao Chen said in disbelief.

"Your Majesty, none of us youngsters are afraid of hard work or fatigue. While the farm was busy, we only rested six or four hours a day, and spent the rest of the time working. Some 'villages' have too much land, and their work may be a little rough. But that was also because we were forced to. We still lack manpower. " The village chief was a young man who had just turned twenty-two, the young man said.

"Right now, the situation in Sichuan has gradually stabilized, from the signs of Sichuan, the youth can come to Guan Shan." Zhao Chen thought about it and said.

"That's great!" The village chief said excitedly.

"Do you have any difficulties?" Zhao Chen said again.

"Your Majesty, this …" The Village Chief's face revealed a hesitant expression.

"Tell me quickly." Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, there are a million young Production and Construction Corps s in the entire Guan Shan. All of us young people are men. There were three ways to not be filial, and one would only get bigger if there was no future. A few days ago, my mother wrote to me saying that she had made a marriage for me and wanted me to go back and get married. Not only me, but many other young people have received letters from home. But now is a busy time, and we can't go back. Furthermore, we are also soldiers, and we have military rules. We cannot leave the Guan Shan as we please. " The village chief's face was slightly red as she said.

"That's simple. We can let those girls come to the Guan Shan, come to the Production and Construction Corps. They can also join the Production and Construction Corps. If you are willing, you can set up a family in Production and Construction Corps. " Zhao Chen laughed.

He had forgotten this question.

Because of the war, the population of the Guan Shan had been drained. After the establishment of the Production and Construction Corps, there were now a million youths, all of whom were men. Only men can't do it without women. Zhao Chen felt that he should discuss this with the people from the Military Intelligence Department when he returned. It would be best if he could motivate the female youth to come to the Guan Shan and enter the Production and Construction Corps as well. However, the views of the people of this era were very different from those of the future generations. They paid particular attention to the inner and outer female masters, as women might not be willing to come here. So, this still requires Advocacy Division to continue his mobilization work.

"Your Majesty, we wish to join the regular army as well. We also want to become soldiers of the Forbidden Army, Jingyuan Army and Tsinghua Army. " Another youth said.

"In the next half year, we will definitely recruit soldiers. At that time, the first priority would be Production and Construction Corps. Those of you who perform well can join the regular army. However, it is extremely tiring for the regular army. I hope you all have considered the dangers of the battlefield. " Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, we have already made our decision! We all want to join the regular army! Only the military is the best home for men, the battlefield is the best home for men! Even if we were to die on the battlefield, we would still be willing. " A young man said excitedly.

"Very well, I am glad that you have this idea. "Don't worry, the army will prioritize you." Zhao Chen laughed.

"Your Majesty, can you tell us more about the Western Xia Battlefield?" A young man eagerly asked.

Immediately, Zhao Chen started laughing and talking, while some people at the side grabbed onto the other officers' side, and the rest started talking as well. It happened everywhere else in the surrounding villages.

Not long after, cheers could be heard from the various villages. In addition to the cheers, one could still hear the voices of "Long live His Majesty" and "Long live the Song Dynasty".

They stayed there for more than two hours. The young men gave the fruits to the soldiers to eat, and they passed water to the soldiers. They even hoped that the army could stay here for the night. However, if the army wanted to return to the Wu Gong County, they could only take their leave.

However, after the great army left, these youths had actually followed behind the great army.

They were only twenty to thirty miles away from the Wu Gong County. Along the way, more and more youths followed behind them. Countless of young men who had received news came out of their villages and followed behind the army.

When the sun had set in the west, they finally saw the Wu Gong County in the distance, and at this moment, countless people were heading their way.
