After he and his mother-in-law separated, he built a house and stocked a warehouse full of grain and

Ling Ran lowered his eyelids and said with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "Now there are several battles between Beidu and Jinling. The situation is critical. If food were not crucial, even my grandfather would not be able to allocate these fifty men and fifty horses to me."

Everyone present heard this and understood.

The people and horses outside are the limit of what can be given over there.

In troubled times, human life is worthless, but horses are very important! Especially war horses.

One war horse can equal one cavalryman, one cavalryman can equal ten infantrymen, and hundreds of cavalrymen can attack military camps at night. It is indeed not easy for Ling Ran to bring fifty cavalrymen back, and it also represents the importance that Beidu places on food.

After all, potatoes are a crop that Ling Ran's grandfather and the generals of the Northern Capital knew nothing about. They didn't know anything about taste, planting, or the most critical yield. Under such circumstances, Ling Ran could still be allocated fifty cavalry. It was indeed true. It counts as trust.

What Shui Qing was thinking was that she had to help Ling Ran do this first task well!

Fan Jiang, who had been pouring tea and listening for a while, stood up, faced Ling Ranxiong and asked him to join him, "Brother Ling, take me with you! I can grow potatoes, and I'm very good at growing them."

Only one person in the village has grown potatoes for one season, and I am the only one who has grown them for two seasons, and the potatoes I grow have the best yield. I know what kind of land potatoes like, what kind of weather they like, and when they are short of water and when they are short of fertilizer.

You take me with you and I will keep and plant lots of potatoes for you. You will have potatoes to eat at the end of the year! "

Ling Ran couldn't hide his shock and looked at Fan Jiang, his thin lips parted slightly, and finally he smiled lightly, "Brother Ling knows your good intentions, but the northern capital is remote, and the food and climate are different. I'm afraid you won't be used to it there. It’s very dangerous.”

More than just being dangerous, the new emperor originally wanted to get rid of his uncles. He had already eliminated several of them the year before last. King Yan was the strongest among them, but he dared to resist. How could the new emperor not be furious? Once the city is destroyed, there will be no bones left!

If his grandfather and uncle were defeated, they would not end well, and neither would he. But if he chose this path, he would not be afraid of life or death, but Dajiang was different.

Dajiang has parents and brothers and sisters, and life in the village is easy. He will have a smooth life without having to work hard, and there is no need to take risks by following him.

Even though his uncle and aunt Jin were kind to him, he couldn't put Da Jiang in danger.

Fan Jiang was not willing to give up easily and strongly persuaded: "Brother Ling, you are only a few years older than me. You are also a native of the south. If you can do it there, I can do it too!

Just take me with you. I just like farming. I can grow food no matter the south or the north. If you win, can you tell me if I can get a military medal for being good at farming? "

No matter what, he must go. Dahe can go to Jiangnan to visit because his parents said that he will do business in the future. It is better to travel around and gain more knowledge than to study hard.

He is also not suitable for studying. He prefers crops in the fields to studying. But he can't go out to farm. If he doesn't go out, he has to read and read every day. Seeing that people in the village who are younger than him and who are in elementary school cannot write well. Better than him, he really can’t lose his face!

Brother Ling is simply his savior!

He had to hold on tightly.

"How can military merit be so easy to get? If I can, I will go to farm to get one." Li Huyu said with a big smile.

Bai Manshan and Bai Ziqian on the side were lost in thought, and they remained silent.

Fan Jin just listened quietly from the side without saying much, letting the next generation make their own decisions.

Shui Qing had more things on his mind.

There are advantages and disadvantages to traveling to the north. The disadvantages are obvious, such as climate, food, homesickness... From another perspective, if the children go to college or work elsewhere, people's adaptability is still very strong, especially Ling Ran and Zhu Jia You don't have to worry about taking care of yourself, housing, food and drink, it's better than going out to work.

Farming is Dajiang's forte - he also farms at home. A boy of his age, not to mention boys, but girls also have to work in the fields!

Children in rural areas can walk in the fields. The soil of the fields is an inseparable part of life, with deep-seated familiarity and proficiency. In the past, Dajiang was more like a technical guide, teaching others how to plant, otherwise he could do it alone. How many acres are planted?

As for teaching, Dajiang is indeed the most suitable candidate, because no one is as familiar with potato cultivation in the north as she is, but she can't go to the north, and Shanshui Village cannot do without her. She has to stay here to earn money to buy a family property!

She told Dajiang first, and then asked Fan Jin to write down all the precautions, maintenance, problems, etc. in the potato planting encyclopedia, and asked Dajiang to take him... He was a farmer in the rear, and he was not going into battle to kill the enemy. , the risk shouldn’t be that great, right?

There are so many disadvantages at present, and the advantages are also obvious.

Three years later, King Yan won. Zhu Neng was the result of Cong Long and was the emperor's right-hand man. Needless to say, Ling Ran, how could Dajiang also have a share when rewards were given based on merit!

At the very least, he would look familiar in front of Zhu Neng. With this familiarity, Dajiang would be stable for the rest of his life.

Fan Jiang couldn't wait any longer. He looked at his father, and finally his eyes fell on his mother, praying: "Auntie, just let me and Brother Ling go. Brother Ling can go back and forth alone, and I am with so many people. Isn’t it much safer than Brother Ling back then?”

If something goes wrong, I can only blame myself for my bad luck!

Shui Qing pondered, then raised his eyes when Fan Jiang was uneasy and asked: "The climate in the north is different from ours. What if you feel you can't adapt and want to come back?

Not to mention that Shanshui Village is far away from Beidu, the most important thing is that if you escape from the battle, as for these potatoes, we will no longer be able to select suitable candidates and send them there in time. Delaying potato planting is equivalent to delaying military flights and is beheading. Do you understand the serious crime? "

If you need to beat, you should beat.

Fan Jiang nodded his head like garlic, and said with a naive smile: "Don't worry, Mom! I'm not here to play. Besides, even if I lose myself, I can't lose the potatoes."

Farming is much more comfortable for him than studying!

He looked tired with the words on those books. He probably looked at them more familiarly than he looked at them.

And the light pen barrel was more tiring to use than a hoe, nail and rake. He was very good at handling the hoe, nail and rake, but the pen barrel didn't listen to him at all. They always had their own ideas.

Sitting there reading was a pleasure to the eldest sister and the younger brother, but it was like suffering to him! Not to mention the soreness in my back, I still think about the crops in the fields.

How wonderful it is to plant crops. You can see how much you planted in the morning, and when the time comes, you will reap the harvest. When the time comes, he has forgotten almost all of his studies.

Ling Ran looked at the two of them in surprise, with disbelief in his eyes.

Auntie and Dajiang have made a decision in a short period of time?
