Chapter 204: Three Hundred Pound Hammer
Shan Binbin looked pitiful and pitiful, but no matter how pitiful Luo Cheng was, it was impossible not to inform Shan Xiongxin. He couldn't even arrange Shan Binbin to live in his own county mansion, in that case, it would really be unclear.
In desperation, Luo Cheng had to let Shan Binbin live in Zhang Yichen's house first, when Zhang Runniang got married, the red line did not accompany the marriage, she is now the righteous daughter of the Zhang family, not Yahuan. Luo Cheng led the person to Zhang's house and told Zhang Yichen, Zhang Yichen smiled at Luo Cheng, making him feel a little embarrassed, as if he had really become an animal who abducted the good family.
"Sister Binbin lives here to accompany my sister and me, and it's just boring to be alone." The red line gave Luo Cheng a blank look, but he still promised to take Shan Binbin in for the time being.
When he got home, Luo Chengcheng immediately sent a letter to Shan Xiongxin.
It's been more than half a month since I sent it out, and I haven't seen anyone over there, and I haven't even sent a reply. However, the person who sent the letter said that the letter was delivered to Shan's family in person, and it was indeed Shan Xiongxin who received it at that time. Don't reply to the letter, which also represents an attitude.
Maybe Shan Xiongxin was also a little speechless about this sister, or he was very annoyed by Luo Cheng and Shan Binbin's nonsense, but no matter what, he wouldn't come to pick it up for the time being.
Shan Binbin really became a wild horse, pulling the red line to find Luo Cheng every day, no matter where Luo Cheng went, they all followed, Shan Binbin also had a ghost idea, with a red line woman dressed as a man, acting as a middle-aged man around Luo Cheng, like a fart every day.
Luo Cheng couldn't shake it off, and after a long time, he slowly got used to these two farts worms.
In the blink of an eye, it was the height of summer.
The fields are golden.
The spring millet is ripe, and the harvest begins everywhere.
The Luo family has also begun to enter a busy season, the family's land has used Luo Cheng's composting method this year, and there are those cattle bought by Xiaoliu, as well as those slaves bought by Luo Cheng, with sufficient manpower, and the land is relatively finely cultivated. During the days when there was a shortage of water, wells were drilled, water wheels were repaired, and timely irrigation was used to preserve the grouting.
Luo Cheng, as always, shook his hands and went to the field to see a few times, and then threw everything to Zhuangtou.
After the first field was harvested, Zhuang Tou happily ran to tell Luo Cheng that the field was just one acre of land, and he actually harvested two stones and a half millet. It is important to know that the yield of millet is very low, far worse than that of wheat and rice, but because millet is more drought-tolerant and the production period is shorter, the amount of millet planted is large.
But the land that was originally more than one stone has now been collected two and a half stones, even if these lands are good land, but the yield has increased by almost one stone, and the yield has increased by at least sixty percent.
An acre of land can increase an increase of one stone, and this thousand acres of land can increase an increase of one thousand stones.
"A bumper harvest is a good thing, and an increase in production is even more good, but it is also inseparable from everyone's hard work. I Luo Cheng has always been a matter of words, and I promised you before, the yield per mu is over stone, and the harvest that exceeds will be rewarded by one percent.
More than 30 slaves over there increased their production by 1,500 stones, and one person could almost get a commission of more than five stones.
Zhuang Tou couldn't believe it after hearing it, he always thought that the head of the family was just talking, and if he really increased his income, he would pull out some points at most, and it was impossible to really give a percent.
"When you go back, you can announce to them that when the harvest is over, everyone can choose to take the grain or the money, and if you take the money, you will exchange it at the market price, and they will not suffer a loss."
Daddy's 100 acres of land is also a good harvest this year, in order to harvest, Dad deliberately put the blacksmith shop on vacation, and pulled the ten slaves there to harvest rice, Luo Cheng brothers helped the cart load the horses, and spent a few days to cut the grain back.
The weather has been fine, and everyone is busy threshing in good weather.
"Fortunately, the weather has been fine recently, otherwise many people would not be busy."
After the spring ploughing, a large number of young men in Qi County were conscripted to serve again, and on average, at least two young men were conscripted away from a family, and even a middle-aged man had to serve in the county. In every family, there are basically only young and old women left.
In order to grab the harvest, women in their fifties and sixties, and children of five or six years old all went to the ground.
The Luo family fortunately relied on Luo Cheng this year, otherwise the family of six went out to do the same as last year, so don't even think about harvesting this summer, even if you barely harvest it, you can't plant it in the autumn.
"I don't know how the old and weak women and children will be planted in the autumn after this harvest." Daddy sighed.
"Let the families help each other, work together, if our family is done, we can also let the slaves go to other families to help plant, the family's cattle can also be rented to everyone to farm, just collect some money, it can be regarded as helping in emergencies."
"But even if we help, we can't help a few families."
"Dad, if we can help these people in our Nanshan Village, it's already good, but as for more people, we can't help it."
The field was still busy harvesting, but someone from the camp informed him that the county lieutenant was here, and he was sending the officers of Changbai Eagle Yangfu to take up his post, and asked Luo Cheng to go back to greet him.
He wiped his sweat, came back from the barn, took a random bath, and rode back to the county seat.
When he returned to the county seat, he met the county lieutenant and the officers.
Under the porch of the yamen surrounded by greenery, a group of people sat there.
The lieutenant of the county is an old man, with a big belly, and Luo Cheng estimates that his horse can't climb up.
"Old man Duan Zhongkui, who is loved by His Majesty, has been appointed as the governor of Qi County, and this time I came to send a few captains to Changbai Yingyang Mansion."
He smiled and beckoned to Luo Cheng, "Shicheng, you were also a lieutenant before, this time you are the Sima of Changbai Mansion, and you have to work hard to open the mansion." ”
"Subordinates should do their best." No matter how bad he had a bad impression of this old man in his heart, this was his direct boss, and he didn't dare to offend.
"Come, I'll introduce you to two captains."
"Qi Biao, Qi Guoyuan, Li Bao, Li Ruqi, one of these two is the new captain of Changbai Eagle Yangfu Yue Cavalry, and the other is an infantry captain."
Captain Qi was like a large Duan Zhongkui, with a body as fat as a ball, and his round facial features were all crowded together. Li Bao is very lean, like a bamboo pole.
"Luo Sima, our brother will work under you in the future, please take care of it." Qi Biao smiled, and his eyes couldn't see it.
Everyone sat there and made noise, Zhang Yichen and others were accompanied, and they chatted casually, but they always heard Qi Biao and Li Bao bragging there, and finally Du Ruhui couldn't listen to it, saying that it was better to let everyone see the skills of the second lieutenant Qi and Li?
"Then my two brothers will be ugly."
thought that the two of them would restrain themselves, but the two of them really went down to prepare horses and get equipment.
After a while, two riders came in from one side.
On a hot day, the two of them were actually wearing iron armor.
And the weapon in their hands blinded Luo Cheng's eyes.
I saw that Qi Biao, who was fat into a ball, actually held a hammer in one hand, and this hammer was not the melee hammers of ordinary generals, these two hammers were quite eye-catching, I saw that the hammer was like a round pumpkin, with a diameter of at least thirty or forty centimeters, and it was full of golden light, and it was really like lifting two big pumpkins with handles.
And the Li Leopard over there was carrying a big knife in his hand, the knife was long and big, and the blade was wider than a palm.
"This pair of hammers, isn't it more than 100 catties?" Du Ruhui said.
"I don't think that knife is simple, it's so big, how can it have a hundred and eighty pounds."
However, when Luo Cheng heard the tone of these two, he was not surprised but mocking.
Yes, those two pumpkin sledgehammers are so big, if it's true, one must be at least three hundred pounds, they are as big as a grinding plate. And that knife is much bigger than the hundred-pound big knife that Luo Chengying usually uses to test his strength, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is one hundred and eighty pounds.
But Luo Cheng didn't believe that there were really people who would have such strength and could carry a three-hundred-pound hammer in one hand so easily, even if he could, he couldn't step off the horse.
