Chapter Three Six Seven Rules

In the spring of the fifteenth year of the empire, the farm reclamation group had just melted and had already been cleaned up and joined a caravan from Shanxi to set out west. With the help of the farm reclamation group, the merchants did not need to prepare some friends, such as chasing cars, leading horses, and carrying things, which had been properly distributed. There were many people and powerful people, and they did not need so many goods.

In addition to cotton cloth, seeds, handicrafts purchased from Shandong, some of the carriages contained things belonging to the farmland group, but they were placed more careful than goods. There were bone breeding bags, tablets, water and soil in their hometowns, and other things that made it difficult for the farmland group soldiers to give up.

After traveling for twenty days, the brigade passed Henan, entered Tongguan, and arrived at the boundary of Shaanxi. At night, I stayed outside the big car shop where the business travelers were stationed, but there was no house to live in and set up a tent outside, but it was hot water, hot meals and washing. This was the second time the brigade was resting, and the last time it was in the boundary of Henan.

Zhang Yong looked at Yao Sheng and Chen Sier with his arms around him and discussed going to take a shower. He said to the team leader Zhou Daniu: "Tsk tsk, I don't know what the situation is. Since I left Shandong, I've been like a person, and I'm just going to be a man."

"Didn't the commander say that we support each other and help each other." Zhou Daniu said lightly.

"What are they helping each other?" Zhang Yong was puzzled.

Zhou Daniu said: "Chen Sier spent a long time in his early years at the dock. He knew the rules and had skills in his hands. It is said that he could use guns. Yao Sheng hoped that Chen Sier could take care of him, but also wanted to learn from him."

"What to learn, kung fu or use a gun?" Zhang Yong asked.

"Everyone needs to learn! You wander around all day and don't like to participate. Let me tell you that when we reach the territory of General Dingbian Mansion, we will have to conduct military training for a period of time. After all, we are soldiers who receive wages, not ordinary people. But we are soldiers who do not come from military academy to lead us, especially the platoon leaders. We have to choose ourselves. Whoever has the ability can compete and become the leader, whether it is the distribution of land, pay or wife, is given priority. Who doesn't want to take advantage of such benefits?" Zhou Daniu explained so much, and Zhang Yong understood.

Zhang Yong thought for a while: "Chen Sier has a special trick, but what can Yao Sheng teach him?"

Zhou Daniu said: "This is where Brother Chen Sier is smarter than us. According to what the book says, this is called planning ahead. Do you still remember that when we were in Xinxiang, Henan, several officials held a complaint meeting for us. Do you remember what Brother Yao said about his two wives?"

Zhang Yong focused on the key points. He wanted to say that those who were willing to participate in the farming group to go to thousands of miles of land, each of them had their own hardships. Everyone was suffering. If they talked to each other, they could resonate with each other and avoid much trouble. But after hearing so many stories that day, he couldn't remember it clearly. After thinking about it carefully, he said, "Yao Sheng's first wife came from her cousin or cousin, and the second wife was married to her, and she seemed to be unable to speak, otherwise the landlord would not want him to be his son-in-law."

Zhou Daniu lit a cigarette and said, "You don't remember it all. Yao Sheng's second wife was not unable to speak, but deaf. As the saying goes, nine out of ten deaf and dumb. If you can't hear what others say, you will naturally not learn to speak. This is a disease brought from the womb."

"What does this have to do with Chen Sier?"

Zhou Daniu shook his head, thinking that this guy was really not enlightened, and said, "When you go to Xiji, the court will send you a foreign woman or a Tartar daughter-in-law. You use your heels to think about it. Can a foreign woman understand what you say? She doesn't understand what she says, but you can't communicate when you marry. The court is not responsible for letting the foreign woman understand what we say. You can't stare at you every day. You said, you are with the foreign woman. Is it like when Yao Sheng first met his second wife? But Yao Sheng not only loved his wife, but also gave birth to two sons. How do they communicate? Even if they gesture with their hands every day, they are more experienced than us.

Not only Chen Sier, we all have to learn from Yao Sheng, otherwise, the children have given birth to a kang, and you can't even kiss you, isn't it embarrassing? They all call Chen Si's daughter-in-law crazy, and it's not unfair to say that this nickname is not unfair, but they just figured out something useful, which is also a skill."

After hearing this, Zhang Yong felt it was reasonable, so he naturally didn't want to be behind. If he went to the place and sent him a little widow with a small butt because he was not motivated, wouldn't that be unlucky?

The agricultural reclamation team went smoothly from Shandong to Gansu, but after leaving Gansu, the yellow sand in the sky made everyone stunned. Fortunately, the caravan traveled here for many years and had rich experience. The cavalry sent by the General Dingbian Mansion to pick him up. Finally, at the end of June, the agricultural reclamation team was brought to the first stop, Hami. There were only more than 1,700 people left in the two thousand people. Many died on the road, and some fled. The people who arrived in Hami felt that the trip was worth it.

The Agricultural Reclamation Group was stationed in the military camp outside the city, touching this strange world with a pair of eyes and a mouth. When the chief of the Agricultural Reclamation Group promised that the place they were going to was not inferior to Hami, everyone was even more excited. In their opinion, although this oasis was surrounded by deserts, it was a very good place. The land was fertile and sufficient irrigation, the melons and vegetables produced were sweet, the food was rich, and the women of foreign races on the streets looked very different from themselves, but they had everything they should have, which could be distinguished from beautiful and ugly.

In the Hami military camp, the Agricultural Reclamation Group was diverted and reorganized, and the troops were stationed and organized into two battalions. The exiled prisoners who were strangled and struggling to reach the place were taken by the cavalry of the Lifanyuan to Balikun, Chen Sier and others to the north were grouped by a group of non-commissioned officers and began simple marshal training.

Today, Hami is no longer a place where miscellaneous Hus gather. For more than ten years, the empire spared no effort to immigrate from the mainland, especially the ranks of the production of official slaves in the early days of the dynasty. In the past few years, it moved a large number of Balikun grain and grass, and gradually settled into the oasis of Hami and Turpan. The Han people in the entire Guanxi Appeasement Zone have exceeded 60,000, and are no longer a minority. Because of this, the Guanxi Appeasement Zone can provide a large number of military and political officials with experience in border guarding, reclamation and development to train agricultural reclamation groups.

"My name is Ren Fei. He is the fourth assistant leader of Hami East Banner, Guanxi Appeasement Zone. He was ordered to come and train for one hundred of you. He kept his ears up. Next, he wanted to live on the border. If you can't remember it, it would be a trivial matter to be embarrassed and suffer losses. If you cut your head, you will be in trouble!

The Xiji you are going to is in the west of Hami. It is said that there is an oasis a hundred times larger than this. It is OK to farm and grazing, but that kind of good place will not be handed over to you for no reason. So in Hami, you have to receive training and be able to fight and fight. If you need to farm, you can farm. If you don’t have land, you can only fight first and then farm. You say, is it better to farm first, or to farm directly? That one with teeth on the butt, you say." Ren Fei shouted in his rare loud voice, and finally asked a question and asked Chen Sier directly.

Chen Sier originally sat cross-legged in the shade like a group of colleagues, but when she was shitting, she was bitten by a mosquito and looked uneasy. He was screaming, but he was not afraid. After thinking about it, he said, "Sir, I think it must be better to fight first and then farm!"

"Oh, why did you say that?" Ren Fei became interested in this kid.

Chen Sier said: "If you go directly to farm and recruit refugees directly. Why do we need to be such soldiers holding hoes and muskets in the other hand! Besides, I think that fighting first and farming after farming is of great benefit. When you go, you will first kill the unconvincing Tartar ghosts, directly rob their land, rob their houses and food, immediately have houses, fields, food and drinks, and maybe you can even rob a wife to warm up the bed. It is much better than opening the land and growing it yourself!"

"Hahaha."

After hearing Chen Sier's words, the crowd burst into laughter. Ren Fei shouted: "What are you laughing at? This brat is right. I did this. Instead of trying hard to open up the land, it would be better to rob his mother. It is yours to grab it. If you don't have some hard skills, even if you cultivate the wasteland into fertile land, build a house and marry a wife, they will rob you.

So, you need to train and know how to fight. Only by having the ability can you protect your family and your home and live in peace. Do you understand?"

"I understand, sir!" Chen Sier was the first to agree.

"Good boy, I remember you. I have the ability and brains. I like bastards like you, the honest farmer who makes me angry the most." Ren Fei patted Chen Sier on the shoulder, looked at the cloth card on his chest, and wrote down his name.

After Chen Si sat down cross-legged again, Ren Fei shook his whip and said, "Now start to follow the rules. What rules? It is not the rules of living in the army, nor the rules between brothers and neighbors, but the rules of the court, the rules set by the emperor and the emperor for us.

I just said that Xiji is similar to Hami. When you get there, you can live with people from different ethnic groups. How can you live with majestic and not bullied? You have to learn our rules!"

Seeing everyone getting serious, Ren Fei stretched out his hand and said, "You all remember that we are Han people. We eat everything except human flesh. We eat everything with four legs, except tables, chairs, and benches. If someone tells you that this meat cannot be eaten, and that wine cannot be drunk. Look at your own slap and slap it. But remember, if others don't eat it, don't force others to eat it. Everyone will live their own lives, don't force anyone, and don't interfere with anyone. This is called "well water will not interfere with the river water!"

"Second, touch your belly button, what is there? It's a belt and a cowhide belt! If anyone tells you that you can't worship your ancestor tablet, you can only worship the gods. It's said that there is only one god in the world. Our Taishang Laojun Jade Emperor and the Great Emperor are all fake. You can tie him with your belt and send him to the yamen. Any yamen is fine! We are all raised by our mothers and fathers, and the seeds passed down by our ancestors. Who wouldn't worship them if they don't worship them? As for the gods, touch your face. If there are really some gods who can you bless you, can you get here?

Why did I hear that the court bought you a foreign ghost woman as your daughter-in-law. Those foreigners, whether foreigners or Tartars, like to worship all kinds of gods, but that was in their parents' home. When they entered the door of our Han men, they had to abide by our rules. Only your wife could worship your ancestors. You are not allowed to believe in their foreign gods. This is called, marrying chickens, marrying dogs, following dogs!" Ren Feiyue became more and more excited. He suddenly grabbed a bag and drank a few big sips.

Ren Fei said at the end, and said, "The third rule is to unite. When we arrive at Xiji, you belong to the group with few people. If we are not united with each other, we will be bullied by outsiders. In our hometown, we should help our relatives and not our relatives. But here we will only help our relatives, not our relatives. We come from the same place, say the same words and eat the same meal, and we should help each other, especially not letting outsiders bully it. It is not that I taught you that people are arrogant, but people are really sinister here, and they are the same as outsiders. Only help those who are close, not the right ones!

In such a ghost place, if you want to survive, you have to be a stalwart. Look at how the outsiders around you live. If you want to live better than others, you have to be more ruthless and fiercer than him. Okay, the rules are over! Let’s talk about the training plan. Now it’s hot, practice military skills in the morning and afternoon, and listen to classes at noon.”

"Sir, do we still need to learn to read?" Chen Sier's head was getting big when she heard that she was about to attend class.

Ren Fei said: "You may not learn to read in class. It was a teacher invited from Xiji who told you how to farm."

"Farming? Who can't farm? Didn't you just say that Xiji is similar to here? I saw that most of the wheat, sticks, and melons grow in the fields here are similar to those in my hometown. Who can't plant them?" Someone said with a laugh.

Ren Fei widened his eyes and said, "The planting methods are different from those in different places. Can you plant the wheat in Shandong and the wheat in Shaanxi be planted one day? Can you harvest the seeds here be the same as those in yours? You can make them according to the farming season in Shandong. What should you do if you harvest them? You have to listen to others when you just farming season.

Your bugs are the same as here, the ants here are as big as you four in Shandong!

Besides, you are a farm reclamation group, not a commoner. When you go to Xiji, you don’t plant your own land, but you are all planting together. Lord Wu originally asked someone to prepare cows, but there are more cows here, so you can only use horses to plow the land. Can you drive the horses? Have you seen the plows used for horses? Are you playing around?"
