Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 644
The spring of the grassland seems to have come overnight. The spring breeze is like a paintbrush dyed with green dye, gradually painting green on the vast expanse of land, and it doesn't take long to cover the earth with a green carpet.People living in WLMQ are happy to drive domestic livestock, and enjoy the joy of grazing when the grass is at its most plump.

Of course, all of this is due to the fact that Funing'an's army has been sticking to WLMQ, so that the people in the city have a stable life for several months.Even the herdsmen are protected by the army when they are grazing.

There is no way to do this. The people on the grassland cannot live without grazing for most of their production and life. If they do not go out to graze, then the cattle, sheep and horses cannot grow strong, and they will not have sufficient food sources.

In the city, Xue Hong mobilized the local people to build a simple greenhouse with the soil from the house mixed with weeds. The wheat that can be seen everywhere in XJ can only be harvested for one season at this time.However, due to the increasing number of people entering WLMQ, Balkun is also overcrowded, and the demand for food has become greater and greater.So Xue Hong thought about it, experimented and demonstrated without sleeping and eating, and finally moved the common crop of wheat into the greenhouse.Otherwise, with so many mouths to eat, it would be hard for a smart woman to cook without rice, and Funing'an's army would really be worried to death.

Since the successful cultivation of wheat in the greenhouse, the morale of the people in the XJ area has been greatly boosted. They have seen the hope of life. Planting techniques that have never been thought of.

In order to allow more people to eat the flour of the year, Xue Hong led some soldiers and local people to start planting in full swing in all places where it is possible to build greenhouses.All the residents, counting one by one, all joined the ranks of building greenhouses. These foreigners who did not listen to the language had a strong sense of gratitude to the Qing army, and affectionately called them "sent by Allah". ambassador of peace".

The news reached the fourteenth master Yinti, who laughed and said, "Xue Hong? I didn't expect it, this is really unexpected! I thought their family has been in business for generations, and some of them are just clever people who buy and sell. Can you think of promoting greenhouse cultivation in such a harsh place? It’s amazing that those crops are still alive!”

Yan Xin, the general of Ping Ni, sighed: "There is no more effective strategy to calm people's hearts than this. After the war, the people were displaced, and the only thing that can make them feel at ease is a safe life and a good harvest of food. Xue Hong This merit is not small, and it should be rewarded!"

General Wang Yinti was also very happy, and immediately ordered people to write the matter into the battle report and send it to the capital together.

After receiving the battle report, Lord Kangxi laughed several times, and passed the battle report from the Northwest to the courtiers in the morning of the next day for circulation.

The fourth master Yinzhen already knew about this matter, and Ying Falcon, who communicated with Xue Hong and others, had already reported this matter to himself in detail.But when he saw the battle report again, he was still shocked.Xue Hong, he finally showed his edge and let everyone know his benefits.

I think he was admitted as a scholar at the age of eight, and he was already a Jinshi at a young age, and he gave the court so many surprises in a series.Fortunately, Zhang Tingyu persuaded the Xue family to be loyal to him because his sister almost died under the poison of Xue Yi's wife and sister. Otherwise, at this time, a person like Xue Hong would not have bowed to him so easily. under the command of

So Yinzhen lamented that he had picked up the treasure, and at the same time was sour and jealous that others would covet his good general, and read the battle report with mixed feelings.

After all the officials had finished reading, Lord Kangxi smiled heartily and said, "Where is Xue Yi?"

Among all the officials, Xue Yi walked out with a smile on his face: "Xue Yi, the servant of the minister's household department, is here."

"Haha, Xue Aiqing, you have raised a good son! Xue Hong, a good boy, has solved a big problem for me. In the northwest area, whether it is XJ, XZ or Mongolia, they have always lived a nomadic life. , Wherever there are aquatic plants, that is their ideal homeland. And now your son's greenhouse planting is very successful, I believe that in the near future, the problem of food shortage in Northwest China will be solved.

Don't look at the rampant Mongols, in fact, when it comes to the root, why do they want to rob?Is it because I live in poverty and lack food and clothing?If they were all well-fed and well-fed, even if they coveted other people's property, they wouldn't be bothered to mobilize so many people and kill them at every turn. "

Knowing that the emperor is happy today, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty also said: "The emperor is wise."

Lord Kangxi nodded, and said with a smile: "The soldiers who followed the Great General King this time are all doing well. They should have waited until the battle was over before rewarding them for their merits, but this was a surprise and must be rewarded. .Promote Qianfeng Captain Fucha Fu Qing to the fifth-rank infantry captain, promote Xue Hong to the fifth-rank appeasement envoy, grant Jue Yunqi Lieutenant, and promote Jia Lian to the sixth-rank appeasement envoy Si Tongzhi. Zhang Tingyu, immediately plan a plan The imperial decree, together with official uniforms and seals, will be sent to the northwest."

Zhang Tingyu said: "The minister receives the order."

Here Xue Yi knelt down to thank him: "Thank you Lord Long En."

After coming down to court, let's not mention how Zhang Tingyu drafted and promulgated the decree, let's talk about Xue Yi.He didn't go out of the palace immediately to tell his family about the happy event, but instead begged to see Lord Kangxi at the gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

It turned out that Xue Yi had received Xue Hong's letter early on, and Xue Hong's letter contained a very important matter.That is, greenhouse planting is a very long-term thing. There are too many variables in the middle of a seed from planting to germination to fruiting. This matter was started by him, Xue Hong, but he must not stay in it all the time. XJ grows food for the local people.

This is a hard job. If it is done well, you can get a stable income in front of you, that's okay.If it can't be done well, and one year has a good harvest and the next year has a bad harvest, then Xue Hong may spend her whole life in the desert growing food and become a farmer. If this is the case, what is the glory of the ancestors? At best, she has changed from a businessman to a famous farmer.It's not that being a farmer is bad, but it's definitely not the way out for the Xue family.

Lord Kangxi was also puzzled, this Xue Yi is really strange, why did he ask to see him if he won't go home to celebrate after receiving the reward?Well, let's listen to what he has to say.

Eunuch Wei Zhu went out of the palace gate, and said to Xue Yi with a gentle face, "Lord Xue, Your Majesty invites you in."
