Chapter 1113: Borrowing Grain
When he was in Songshukou, Tabu Nang and Li Mingli had a good friendship, and now he will come over to Li Mingli to exchange some fresh fish, when they were on duty together, Li Mingli's grilled fish was quite good, and it was a very fresh experience for the Mongolians. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
came and went, and the friendship also became deeper.
"We're at a coincidence." A Mongolian man like Tabu Nang didn't know how to be polite, he sat down, first took a chicken leg, took a few mouthfuls of belly, and then took a big sip of soju into his stomach, and then said with a smile: "This is his mother's life, it's so beautiful." ”
Li Mingli scolded with a smile: "Old Tower, you are a Zhang Jing anyway, why do you look like a hungry ghost every time you come to me." ”
Zhao Gui said with a smile: "He asked our family to plant thirty acres of land, saying that it was good to have some grain to eat, and then milked goat milk every day, ate the dry cheese, and ate the meat back in ten days and a half months...... How can you not be greedy. ”
"Dead barbarians, less nonsense, eat your food."
Zhao Gui didn't dare to drink, he was just a wrapper, not like Li Mingli, a lucky person who kept the identity of the account holder, although Tabu didn't put on a show, and the Mongols were better at talking than the Jurchens, but Zhao Gui had to remind his identity at all times, and he didn't dare to cross the rules.
Taking advantage of the noisy drinking in the house, Zhao Gui walked out quietly.
The middle-aged man in his forties hesitated for a while, and finally walked up to the little woman who was less than twenty years old, and said in a low voice: "Daughter-in-law of the Li family, I came to you again to fight the famine." ”
"Well, Uncle Zhao, you wait."
The life of the Li family is not only first-class in the coating, even if it is the main household and the account holder, it is also very good, compared with the serious regular household people, there is no coating, Li Mingli is actually eligible for the coating, the second Ya family is Li Mingli's coating, but now he has no heart to coat again, one is related to secrecy, Li Mingli is now doing the work of killing the head, the fewer people in the family, the better, the second is too eye-catching, there are already many Jurchens who look at Li Mingli unpleasantly, if you get a few more coatings at home, I'm afraid there will be a lot of Jurchens who are worried about it.
It's good now, life is very good, and everyone knows that there are good brothers in Liaoyang City to help them, and they have a good relationship with Niulu Ezhen Tabai, so they should be able to keep the safety of the family in this Niulu.
Zhao Gui is different, plant some land for the Mongols, and usually have to graze, the master of Tabu Bag does not squeeze them, but Niu Lu has to collect the public grain in the flag, and also check the grain storage in Zhao Gui's house, many times are confused, in fact, he has been struggling to survive in hunger, even Tabu Bag is sometimes hungry and full, the sheep have just grazed, it is impossible to slaughter sheep to eat, and the milk source provided is also quite limited, if you want to be better, at least you have to put the sheep to the scale of a few hundred heads, it takes time.
Tabu Bag shook off his cheeks and ate hard, Zhao Gui stood quietly outside the stove and waited, after a while, Er Ya brought a small bag of miscellaneous grains over, there will be more than ten pounds, Er Ya said very apologetically: "Uncle Zhao, I can only give you so much." ”
Because considering that the wheat is about to be harvested, Cao Zhenyan did not bring much grain this time, the two small pockets were half a bag, and they were put on the horse, and when they were unloaded, Er Ya felt that there were fifty or sixty catties, and he originally had twenty catties of grain storage at home, with beans and wild vegetables, it was easy to eat for another two months, and there were fish and meat at home, so he was not nervous, and it was easier to have the food sent by Cao Zhenyan. But Erya is also used to living a hard life, knowing that the more food is saved, the better, now at this time, the Jurchens do not have a few catties of grain storage at home, everyone is hungry, the grain is generally locked in the cabinet, and it is generally a few catties of miscellaneous grains and beans, even if this is to put the key in the hands of the family, quite carefully hide it closely.
This time I borrowed more than ten catties of grain, mainly because the summer harvest was imminent, and Zhao Gui's family should pay it back, and when Zhao Gui came over with Tabu Bag, as long as he was idle, he would help Li Mingli do some farm work, or help with fishing by the river, this person is very good, Li Mingli has a good impression of this person, and plans to observe for a while to see if he can develop Zhao Gui into a downline.
"That's too much." Zhao Gui looked at this small bag of grain, which was now worth a few taels of silver, he held back his excitement, otherwise he would feel too embarrassed to cry because of this small bag of grain, although it had been many years of hard life, but Zhao Gui still didn't want to look too miserable and helpless.
"If it's not enough after a while, if our family has it, Uncle Zhao will come and get it again."
"No, it's enough." Zhao Gui said in a good mood: "This time your second brother is sick and shouting to eat well, otherwise he can hold on until the wheat harvest, the thirty acres we planted, there are more than ten acres of paddy fields, and the harvest should be returned." ”
The so-called past, about one and a half stone per mu production capacity, this is the result of Zhao Gui going to the field every day to observe and calculate.
There was laughter in the house, Zhao Gui smiled at Erya and said, "I went in, thank you for the daughter-in-law of the Li family." ”
"Uncle Zhao is polite, now there are few Han families in Shili and Eight Villages, we should help more, if my family is in trouble, Uncle Zhao, can you help and say no?"
"That's just as well."
Zhao Gui felt a lot better, the two members of the Li family were righteous and friendly to others, Zhao Gui knew that he owed a lot to others, so he could only think that he would have the opportunity to repay this favor in the future.
"Then I'm in."
Zhao Gui nodded, went back in and sat down in the stove.
Erya's fried and boiled dishes are enough, Li Mingli saw Zhao Gui come in, and didn't ask him what he was going out for, stuffed a pair of chopsticks and asked Zhao Gui to eat together, Zhao Gui carefully sandwiched a piece of chicken, and the mouth felt like saliva was going to flow out, it was really a long time since he tasted meat, somehow he felt sad, quickly turned his head, and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeves by the dim light of the oil lamp.
Li Mingli said seemingly casually: "Lao Zhao will bring a chicken leg back in a while, I heard that Xiao Er is sick and the child is sick, so I am hungry!" ”
Zhao Gui agreed, and quickly lowered his head, afraid that he would be seen crying.
"Let's go to bed early tonight." Tabu Sang made a loud voice, in fact, he didn't drink two glasses of wine, and he said to Li Mingli: "The above has already issued an order, tomorrow morning we Niu Lu will have ten vests and ten horse-based followers, and your Niu Lu will definitely be released, Xiao Li, you go to bed early, and it will be bad if you miss something tomorrow morning." ”
"Are you accompanying the two masters on the tour?"
"Of course." Tabu Nang said: "It's getting dark today, and a Jurchen official rode to our side to give an order, and the nearby Niu Lu is estimated to be assigned. ”
"Four Baylors are not our masters." Li Mingli was puzzled: "Can you also take it away in our Niu Lu?" ”
"You're not stupid." Tabu said: "Ask Xiao Cao, why can Sibeile recruit the people of each cow record?" ”
Cao Zhenyan said with a smile: "The first four Baylors came out by the order of the Great Khan, this is a matter of the Eight Banners, of course, the rest of the banners can be temporarily transferred to record people, of course, the time can not be long, after a long time, the banners have to appoint generals to lead the people, instead of handing over to the four Baylors to command." In addition, he also protects the fourteenth elder brother, and each flag will not have an opinion, so this matter is nothing, and each Niu Lu will obey the orders and send people. ”
"There aren't a lot of people." Li Mingli smiled: "It may not be my turn." ”
"It's always right to go to bed early." Tabu got up to say goodbye, the hoop legs under the arrow robe were very obvious, he bit his cheek, and said: "If you meet the merchant soldiers who cross the river this time, I must teach them a lesson." ”
Everyone here knows the experience of Tabu Nang, and Ta Bu Nang is also adamant that it is not the Dongjiang soldiers who have frequently crossed the river recently, but the Hutchison merchant soldiers who have fought with him in bloody battles on the grassland, and I don't know how this guy reported to the superiors, at least so far, the upper echelons of the Houjin side still think that it is the Dongjiang soldiers who cross the river, and they do not take Tabu Nang's judgment seriously.
No matter what everyone thought, there were smiles on their faces.
……
At dawn the next day, Li Mingli was really called up by the main Niu Lu, this Niu Lu has more than 280 people who open an account, which is a considerable Niu Lu, and the coating is estimated to have more than 1,000 people, most of these Bao Yi were later incorporated into the Han Army Banner during the Tiancong period, and became the source of the armor of the four Ding drawers, but the first premise is to be able to survive the last two years.
The whole Niulu is divided into more than a dozen official villages, each village is not big, the main account holder is up to ten or so households, planting one or two thousand acres of land, whenever people see the wheat field on the side of the village, the mood will become very bad, a weed sandwiched with half-gray wheat seedlings, even the masters are desperate for such a wheat field, no longer force those coats to take care of the weeds every day, a few days no matter, the weeds are crazy to grow, it is really strange, in such a bad weather, the wheat refuses to grow, the weeds have been growing wildly.
Including the main Niu Lu, this big Niu Lu dispatched five white armors, fifteen vests and fifteen flag soldiers as followers, Li Mingli is also a follower, originally he was a horse armor, but now he doesn't even count the step armor, he can only be regarded as a flag soldier.
Niu Lu Ezhen was wearing silver iron armor, and the same was true for the white armor, when they gathered together, the silver-white iron armor exuded a thick metallic luster, and most of the white armor were holding long weapons made of fine iron, fine iron pick knives, tiger tooth guns made of fine iron, with a shun knife or sickle at the waist, throwing spears or throwing axes and broadswords hanging on one side of the horse's belly, and a pocket full of light and heavy arrows on the other side, as well as their long stride bows.
Every Baijia is a sturdy man of about thirty, most of them have injuries on their bodies, their eyes are indifferent, and when they look at Li Mingli and the others coming, they are like looking at a group of dead people.
Most of the vests are young and strong, most of them wear cotton armor or chain mail, a few people have iron armor, most of them are the style of the Ming army, the eight banners should unify the armor, red and red, white and white, yellow and yellow, so that the unified division of the placket or iron armor, at least before and after entering the customs.
