Then Dong Ce went directly to the cafeteria, and the soldiers had already finished eating, and of course there was still a surplus of food. Dong Ce is not disgusted, the food in the canteen does not taste bad. Lao Lu personally brought four large bowls up, and the dishes in them were all top-notch, and then he waited beside him. Dong Ce also hadn't eaten for almost a day, and his stomach was hungry for a while, and he just felt comfortable when he ate big fish and meat into his stomach at this time.

After eating and drinking, and by the way, after looking around the back kitchen of the canteen, Dong Ce returned to the house.

The house has already gotten the news, and *** is already waiting at the second gate.

When I saw Dong Ce, my eyes were a little red. Although Dong Ce has not been away for a long time, this trip is to go out to fight after all. People die in war, and no one knows whether it will be good news or bad news. In the past two days, she was frightened at home, and when Dong Ce arrived at the city gate, someone had already come back in advance to report the news, and when she heard it, she cried. Fang Cai cried in the room for a while, and estimated that Dong Ce was coming back soon, so he hurriedly touched up his makeup and brought a few servants from the family to greet him.

"The concubine has seen the master!"

With his knees slightly bent, he saluted Dong Ce, and the servants behind him were also like this.

"Eh, get up, get up. We husband and wife, why do we need to be so polite. Dong Ce helped her up and said with a smile: "My husband has not been at home for the past two days, and Mrs. Lao has bothered. ”

"The lord also said that the concubine is polite, the lord said so, but he is polite to the concubine!"

Said slightly.

Dong Ce was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Okay, good, it's mine." ”

He gently held the hand of ***, the jade hand was slender, and the ten fingers were slender and delicate, soft as boneless. Dong Ce rubbed it twice, leaned into *** ear and whispered: "I am estranged from my wife just now, and later, after we go back to the room, we will have a good intimacy." ”

Hearing him say these crazy words, ***'s face turned red as soon as he brushed it, and the jade hand gently pinched the soft flesh on his waist, but he was reluctant to exert his strength after all. The volume also lowered, but he lowered his head and said, "Mother is also waiting, go quickly, don't let the old man wait." ”

Dong Ce nodded, took her hand, and strode towards the main hall.

After struggling twice, he couldn't break free after all, so he had to let him lead.

In this era, even at home, such a close couple is extremely rare, and the Liu family was dumbfounded from the side. Her ears were sharp, and she also heard what Dong Ce said, and she was surprised and shy, but also a little envious. Although the lord is an official, he doesn't have much at home, and his relationship with his wife is really good.

After meeting his mother, Dong Ce took a hot bath comfortably. In the past few days, let alone taking a bath, even the face has not been properly washed, after taking a bath, wearing a wide robe and big sleeves, back to the bedroom, it is naturally a Wushan cloud and rain.

……

Early in the morning of the second day, Li Gui came to him, and he asked Dong Ce for instructions.

"My lord, those horse thief captives have been settled."

Li Gui's face had an unconcealable look of tiredness, his eyes were bloodshot, obviously he was already very tired physically, but correspondingly, his spirit was unusually excited, and even his face was abnormally red.

He and several of his officials worked all night, and they had not been able to close their eyes since they received the prisoners yesterday, and finally settled down. Although he was very tired, this feeling of being able to determine the fate of others made him inexplicably excited.

"According to your orders, my lord, all those who have family members who have died in the hands of the officials and soldiers will be placed in Anxiangdun, a total of seventeen households and thirty-seven people." Li Guidao.

"Only a few of these? Could it be that most of the horse thieves who were killed were singles? Dong Ce was a little surprised.

"Your Excellency is wise." Li Gui said with a smile: "The subordinates also interrogated them, as the adults said, most of the horse thieves who were killed were singles, perhaps because they had no family and less to worry about, so they were more desperate." ”

"Well, that's true." Dong Ce nodded.

"The rest are all placed around the Rock Fort, and almost every armor has one or two households, so they are all settled." Li Gui continued: "They don't have a house to live in now, and we don't have extra manpower to build a house for them. They were told by their subordinates to build huts, which were dug three or four feet deep into the ground, and the outside was built with wooden clods. Now it's getting warmer day by day, and living in this is not afraid of getting frostbite. The subordinates saw that some commonly used things, they all carried with them. It's just that there are still some shortages. ”

Dong Ce waved his hand: "Speak." ”

"Yes." Li Gui responded: "What is most lacking now is a quilt, and there are few iron pots." The amount of food to be distributed to each household has not been determined. ”

"If you lack anything, you go directly to Su Dacheng to ask for it." Dong Ce said: "But you have to be paperwork, and you can't talk in the vernacular." If you want to take something, let him write a note in the account, you can sign it or draw a pledge, and then come to the official to report it. ”

Dong Ce wrote a note and handed it to Li Gui.

"And grain, according to the amount of one pound a day for a man over fourteen years old, and ten taels a day for women and children, and every three days, so that they must not have too much food in their hands."

"Yes, my subordinates understand." Li Gui hurriedly responded.

"There's one more important thing." Dong Ce said: "The official not only gave them quilts, but also clothes, but there is only one, they all have to take a hot bath and clean their bodies before they can wear new clothes." Let's take the example of the homeless people before. The old clothes that were taken off were set on fire. ”

"Yes."

Li Gui responded and said: "There is another big matter, I asked it at this time, it should be a little early, but my subordinates thought that the adults were busy with affairs, for fear that this matter would not be settled and delayed, and that would be a sin." ”

He paused and said, "All the things that have been settled down should be in place within two days." After three days at the latest, the subordinates divided the land and erected boundary monuments for them, and distributed them to ploughing cattle and farm tools, but they did not know what to plant. ”

When Dong Ce heard this, he also frowned slightly. This question is indeed worth pondering.

It's the end of February, the beginning of March, and according to the solar calendar of later generations, it's probably about April. It's still a little cool in the morning and evening, but the temperature has risen significantly, according to Dong Ce's estimate, less than ten degrees, but it should be about the same.

At this time, both wheat and corn are planted, but spring wheat is the most suitable to be planted, and if spring corn is planted, it will be later. In this era, perhaps due to the variety, corn was not more productive than wheat, and the yield of the two was about the same, or even higher.

After weighing it for a while, Dong Ce made a decision.

"You still have to plant wheat."

Dong Ce said: "This is the best time to live, these two days, you will buy wheat seeds, try to cultivate all the cultivated land before March, plant the wheat, and remediate it properly." If you plant it now, you will be able to harvest it in June or July. ”

"Also, don't plant all the wheat, set aside a thousand acres of land for the official." Dong Ce paused and continued: "These fields are used to grow corn. I'm going to give you an errand. ”

Speaking of this, Dong Ce's expression became serious.

"Your Excellency commands, and your subordinates will never give up." Li Gui hurriedly said.

"I don't have to die, I just hope you don't take it seriously." Dong Ce smiled faintly.

"My subordinates will never dare." Li Gui had a sudden break in his heart, and secretly made up his mind, no matter what orders Dong Ce gave, he had to do it properly.

"Corn, I have heard, it is said that it comes from the extremely distant land of Haidong, in its place of origin, the yield is very high, not less than five stones per acre, this, this official will not talk nonsense."

Dong Ce's words are true, one mu of land is five stones, which is equivalent to the yield of 1,000 catties per mu in later generations, compared to corn, this yield is not high. In later generations, it is common to plant corn in fields with sufficient water and fertilizer, and the yield per mu is 2,000 catties. But Dong Ce said that the yield in his place of origin reached five stones per acre, which is nonsense. The origin of corn is the Americas, in this era, the farming technology there is far less than the Ming Dynasty, basically in the slash-and-burn farming, sowing seeds and not caring state, even in Central America and South America, where the hydrothermal conditions are much better than the north of the Ming Dynasty, but the yield per mu should be inferior.

However, Dong Ce also used this as a cover, he couldn't say that it was the output of later generations that made him come to such a conclusion, so he had to pretend to be in the name of the place of origin.

"I don't know if it's because the soil and water are not good or the variety is not good, but in our place, the yield is so low, it's really puzzling. The official thought that most likely the latter had a greater impact. There is all the water around our rock fort, and if you grow corn, there will be no shortage of water. You select 1,000 acres of high-quality watered land near the river to grow corn, water and fertilize frequently, and then invite some experienced old farmers, or choose from our own people, let them live and see how they can make corn with higher yields! ”

"Tell them that if this is done, the ruler will never hesitate to reward him. Dozens of taels of silver are just waiting for leisure. You put your mind to it, and when the time comes, you will set up some rewards. Let them see the benefits. ”

As soon as he heard the amount of this bounty, Li Gui knew that Shen Xi really attached great importance to this matter, dozens of taels or hundreds of taels of silver, it was really not a small amount. He replied solemnly: "It's about food, this is the most important thing, how dare your subordinates not care?" ”

"You can think like this, this official is very pleased." Dong Ce nodded. He really decided to improve the corn seed and increase the yield of corn. For him now, planting corn, the yield is not high, don't plant it, and unwillingly, it's really a pity to abandon it. And if you can get a relatively high yield corn grain seed, you don't have to worry about this problem anymore.
