"Mu Yangling!" Qi Haoran ran over, looked at her wheat field, and said, "Not bad, it seems that the watering is almost finished."
"It's not like, it's already been poured, and such a big thing happened in your station, why did you come? Also, my father hasn't come back in two weeks, why did you send him?"
"I don't understand things like this. What's the use of me here?" Qi Haoran looked around and whispered, "Your father has made military exploits, so don't worry."
Mu Yangling stared at him with wide eyes, "You sent my father to the battlefield?"
Qi Haoran defended: "This is what your father requested."
Mu Yangling was silent for a moment, and didn't ask any more questions.
Qi Haoran said, "Your father brought you something back, and I'll bring it back to you later."
Qi Haoran asked Mu Yangling, "I still remember you said that there will be a drought in the early summer of this year. Now there are signs. How long do you think the drought will last?"
"I don't know," Mu Yangling said, "I also heard from the old people in the village, and they wouldn't know. If they could have predicted the weather, the land wouldn't be so difficult. Maybe. You can ask someone who knows astronomy."
"Our fifth battalion has three reservoirs and three canals, so the loss will not be too big, but it's not necessarily the case in other places. This year's food supply to the imperial court will not be allocated. It's definitely difficult for my eldest brother now." Qi Haoran's mood was a little down. He wants to help his brother.
Mu Yangling looked at Fan Zijin, Fan Zijin said: "The caravan has only arrived in Lin'an, and it's uncertain when it will come back, let alone money." Without money, they couldn't buy food and grass.
Mu Yangling sighed: "There are still three months before the wheat can be harvested, and now I can't see what the harvest will be like."
Fan Zijin's heart moved.
Because Xingzhou Prefecture is in the north, the planting is later, and the harvest is later than Jiangnan. Moreover, the rice in Jiangnan can be planted twice a year. The first season is harvested in May every year, and then sowing is planted, and another season is harvested in September.
If he has money, he can transfer a batch of grain from Jiangnan...
The corners of Fan Zijin's mouth are slightly upturned. He has no money now, but his mother has.
Fan Zijin didn't think there was anything wrong with asking for his mother's money, anyway, his mother only had one son, who else could he give it if he didn't give it to him?
Fan Zijin calculated in his heart that it would be better for his mother to embezzle some of the money from the house. Most of his father's money should belong to him, but he is not in Lin'an mansion now, so he has cheapened the concubines. It would be nice if he could get some .
Fan Zijin grabbed his parents' money here, and Qi Haoran was also grabbing his own money in his heart. After doing the math, he realized that not only did he have no money, but he seemed to owe Zijin a lot of money.
He hates little when the money comes, and Qi Haoran feels that he is really poor.
Qi Haoran never thought of borrowing money from Fan Zijin to buy food and grass, because it is one thing for him to take advantage of his brother, and it is another thing for the army to take advantage of his brother.
After the Mu family had also watered the cornfields, the fields were also irrigated one after another, and the river water dropped significantly, which made everyone tremble with fear.
Fortunately, the three reservoirs are full of water. Every time the people of the Fifth Battalion see the three large reservoirs, they will show a comfortable smile.
But other places are not so good, some river sections have begun to dry up, and God has no sign of rain at all.
Local officials could only stare at Qi Haoran's three reservoirs, but other camps had already come to ask for water.
The main task of the first battalion and the second battalion is to defend the Xingcheng Pass. There are not many military fields in charge of farming, but the third battalion and the fourth battalion have no preferential treatment. Like the fifth battalion, there are many military fields that need to be responsible, so the two generals will find Come to the door.
Qi Haoran refused all of them, and said very arrogantly: "At the beginning, I wanted to build civilian houses, camps, and water conservancy. When I asked you, you said that you would guard the gates and train soldiers. Did you not want to train soldiers at that time? If so, do you want water? Go away."
The two generals smiled and said, "Isn't the little general out of the public eye? They all work for the general. At that time, the Jin Bing fought fiercely, and we really couldn't help. Now it's alright, Jin Bing doesn't know. Why did you quarrel with Xixia, and you said you still want us to help? In a word, we will come over immediately."
Qi Haoran pouted, "Now that we have everything done, it's too late for you to say that. Come on, I still have to go to military training, please do your best."
The general of the third battalion saw him wave his hand away, and his face was a little unsightly, "He is too arrogant, we begged him in a good voice, but he didn't give him any face."
"People have this confidence, and there are generals above them, what can you do?"
The general of the third battalion gritted his teeth and said, "I used to think that he was not bad in the fifth battalion, at least he helped us receive a lot of waste, but now it seems that he will still find us uncomfortable. A waste camp, dare to talk to us like this?"
"Hey, shut up, do you think that the little general is not capable of relying on the general to eat? He trained the fourth battalion before," the commander of the fourth battalion whispered: "Don't annoy him, he has a temper. It's too big, the general can't do anything about him when he stands upright."
The generals of the third battalion threw their hands away.
The matter here was quickly reported to Qi Xiuyuan, Jiang Ze said: "General, why don't you talk to the fourth son to let them go, otherwise the generals below will probably have an opinion."
Qi Xiuyuan said indifferently, "What if you have an opinion? The water conservancy was built by Haoran, so why should someone ask him to give it to someone else? Don't restrain Haoran, as long as he doesn't cause any fatalities, he can do whatever he wants, my brother Qi Xiuyuan is not a child who can only drink milk, let him handle it himself."
Qi Xiuyuan also wanted to know how far his younger brother could go. In the past, he dealt with the relationship with the soldiers under his command, but now it is with his colleagues of the same class.
Qi Haoran didn't give it, and the generals from the third and fourth battalions didn't come to the door. Anyway, it's only the end of April, and it's still a long time before the next watering. What if it rains during this time?
Qi Haoran did not have them to worry about, and began to focus on training troops. With the approval of his eldest brother, he set up a scout team to investigate the enemy's situation. Mu Shi was the captain and was sent out by him. Now he is staying in Jin Guo and Mu Shi are easily trusted by Jurchen there because of their appearance.
Qi Haoran opened the bag he sent back, checked it and saw that there was nothing special, so he handed it over to Fei Bai to take it to Mu Yangling.
Feibai took out a gold bar from his bag and asked in a low voice, "Master, keep this one too?"
"Keep it. In the future, as long as the information is not entrained, I will send it to them. The gold bar was also obtained by Mu Shi desperately. Is it still greedy for that thing?"
"No, the little one thinks that the number of gold bars is too large. What if Miss Mu guesses that Uncle Mu is in the Jin Kingdom?"
Qi Haoran looked at him with contempt and said, "Mu Yangling has long guessed that Mu Shi is in Jin country, as long as she doesn't know what her father is doing in Jin country? Only now can I guess that Mu Shi is in the Jin Kingdom."
Feibai shrank his neck.
