I am rich in martial arts, but choose culture to win

Such a good person, how can I still eat him?

This is too inappropriate!

Throughout the winter, Lai Xinyou's family opened up wasteland.

Because the winter here is not cold, Lai Xinyou, his wife and two and a half children have cultivated a total of more than 100 mu of land to plant crops in the coming year.

In fact, the emperor's trainer came to persuade him several times, saying that there was no shortage of food in the Ming Dynasty.

Do you know Xinjin Farm?

Corn and wheat can't be seen at a glance.

The military men drive big iron cows to grow wheat, one of which is three or four feet wide.

The grain received every year cannot be stored in the warehouse, so it can only be used to make alcohol for the big iron cow to drink!

The 100 mu of land you rely on for the old three is not enough to fill people's teeth.

Listen to my brother's words, you might as well raise cows, the big Dutch cows that our foreign imperial concubine dedicated to our emperor.

The last time I had a meeting in the mansion, I heard that Lord Long Live is going to invest in building a sterilized milk factory in Xinyang to supply Xinsui's new school...

……

The earnest words of the imperial trainer did not sway Lai Xinyou in the slightest.

Lai Xinyou had never heard of the Dutch cows or the sterilized milk factory.

Instead, the only thing he's interested in is the big iron bull that the emperor's trainer said.

In fact, during the few months of studying in the naturalization class, Lai Xinyou also saw those big iron bulls with infinite strength.

It's just that he had just arrived in Daming at that time, just like Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden. The huge information explosion made his whole head buzz, but he had too many thoughts.

Now hearing what the trainer said, Lai Laosan's mind became active.

Lai Lao San, a big iron cow that can plow three or four feet wide at one time, is not extravagant.

But he felt that he could plant the land for a few years with peace of mind, so he might not be able to go to Xinsui Mansion to buy one or two small iron cows.

At that time, the four of my family will work hard, and they may be able to reclaim 500 acres of land!

More than 500 mu of land!

The landlords in my hometown in Fujian don’t have so much land, and they are still irrigated by river beaches!

Although I only have the right to use and no permanent property rights, is it the same as being a tenant to the emperor directly as a tenant to the landlord Lao Cai?

Lai Xinyou is convinced that as long as his family of four can farm the land with peace of mind, even if the emperor starts collecting rent again later, his family will no longer be hungry or poor.

At that time, the two boys will get married and take a wife, and each will share 250 acres, so they will still be a big family, right?

Imagining a better life, Lai Laosan is looking forward to the day when the seedlings will be sown.

But things are getting a bit wrong this day.

For four full months, there were only clouds in Xinyang's sky, but no rain.

The water level of the Amon River also dropped visibly to the naked eye.

Early this morning, Lai Laosan carried a pole and his wife went to the Amon River to fetch water.

Before coming to the river beach, Lai Lao San was dumbfounded.

The Amon River, whose runoff had become smaller, actually dried up today.

The muddy riverbed is exposed to the air, and a few fish and shrimp are splashing in the few puddles.

The waterfowl who stayed behind kept circling, taking away a big fish from time to time.

Chapter 440 Boss, Times Have Changed

"Third brother, someone is blocking the water!" Lai's wife called out.

Indeed, both husband and wife are old farmers. Although the drought in Fujian is not common, but after 30 or [-] years, they have encountered the dryness of the sky and the flow of water.

If it is a natural cut-off, the riverbed will not be trapped after the riverbed is exposed.

Only when someone cut off the water flow upstream and let the river disappear in a short period of time, will there be such a scene similar to a dry fish pond on the river bed.

Lai Xinyou thought for a while, and said: "This... probably was done by those Jiangxi people in the upper reaches. The production team agreement clearly stated that anyone had to be approved to change the river course... let's go, let's go to Captain Yang and the emperor's trainer Go judge!"

"Bah, Lai Laosan, why did I marry such a wimp like you!"

Lai's mother-in-law obviously didn't agree with Lai Xinyou's suggestion. What's the use of the production team?

Do they have the family law of the elders?

She used the quintessence of the country's unique skill, the aunt bent down and clapped her hands to clap her thighs:

"Back then in Fengdu, the court insisted that our Lai clan demolish our family. Now, you see, don't people bully you? It's because we have so many males, and we are afraid that Jiangxi people won't succeed? Call Ahu and Abao Let's go to the door together and scrape their river embankment!"

……

The four members of the Lai family rushed upstream with shotguns and hoes, and sure enough a simple dam cut off the river and raised the water level.

"The surname is Hu!"

Lai Xinyou was reprimanded by his mother-in-law, and he showed the same vigor he used to grab water with his cousins. With a hoe, he dug a small hole in the earth dam and shouted: "Hu, give me come out!"

Called three times in a row, but no one answered.

Lai Ahu picked up the shotgun and fired it into the sky with a bang, only then did someone squeak.

"Lao San, are you crazy? Haven't you learned the Law of the Ming Dynasty? Shooting one of your own people will kill you!" A barefoot man in a short shirt came out of the room.

At the same time, three men came one after another from the distant field.

There are four males in this household, and they are all men in their prime. This is their confidence.

According to the laws of Ming Dynasty, citizens of Ming Dynasty in most places are not allowed to hold guns.

For example, in big cities like Fengdu and Xinhu, not to mention guns, even long knives, bows and crossbows are also controlled.

However, places such as Xinyue, Xinqiong, Xinyu, and Xin'e either bordered the Aztec Federation or were accompanied by horse bandits on the Central Great Plains, all of which required the people to have a certain ability to protect themselves.

Therefore, the Ming citizens in these places not only have guns in every household, but the government also organizes them to conduct regular training.

In a sense, it can be regarded as the Ming version of the 1-minute man.

From the current point of view, there is no disadvantage in fighting against various horse bandits and free cowboys.

The only tricky thing is that after the Lone Star Republic was destroyed, a large number of semi-professional troops in the Texas area became bandits, causing a lot of damage to the immigrants of Ming Dynasty.

At present, the Xiong Hei Department of the Dingguo Army is attacking them.

Xiong Hei is one of Mo Bai's two confidantes, and his methods of dealing with enemies are also in the same line as Mo Bai.

So the fate of these bandits may not be very good.

In short, in the Xinyang area, every household has a gun, but it is absolutely not allowed to use it for private fights, otherwise the maximum possible sentence will be the death penalty.

But to be honest, in this vast and sparsely populated wilderness, the binding force of the law is often limited.

For a long time, there have been more or less private fights among immigrants from Ming Dynasty.

However, because the land in North America is almost unlimited, there is little need for a life-and-death struggle between people for survival resources, so it is not common for people to die.

But with this drought, things have clearly worsened.

Lai Lao San snorted, "My son just fired a gun into the sky, but he didn't shoot at you. Also, Hu, I called you so many times, why didn't you say anything? Are you guilty of guilt?"

"My surname is Fu!"

"I know your surname is Hu, so I just call you!"

"I...I'm so..."

Fu Wenlong held back, and then said, "I know why you came here, and the master also put the words here, this little water can't support all of us, you just accept your fate!"

"Hey, everyone is in the production team, and they all rely on the Lord Long Live to reward them with food, so why don't you release the water!"

"Hehe, enjoy the meal?"

Fu Wenlong sneered and said, "'Daming is really prosperous, and you can go in and out by car.

Make money at leisure and be happy, and the launch of the dragon boat is really planned.

Daming is really good at making money, so he doesn't have to worry about eating Immortal Sai.

After living there for three or five years, he came back to build a house and buy a field. '

At that time, I believed the lies of the Hunan people, so I didn’t want to be a hero, but crossed the sea to enjoy wealth.

Who knew that Zhu Fugui didn't have a single word of truth! "

(Note: The heroes of the Ming and Qing Dynasties generally refer to bandits and bandits)

"We brothers originally wanted to enjoy life and make money here, but who knew that we were kicked to this place where no shit!"

Speaking of this matter, Fu Wenlong was angry.

Back then, they were water bandits in Jiangxi, and they were chased to nowhere by Zuo Zongtang's Chu army.

He also heard about the various advantages of Daming, so he kept doing nothing, and negotiated with the Chu army on this condition, and voted for Daming together.

There were more than 200 people in this group of water bandits at their peak, but only 30 were left after being suppressed by the Chu army.

However, all of them are veteran gangsters who have experienced many battles, and they all have excellent kung fu.

According to what Fu Wenlong thought, Emperor Zhu Fugui wanted to rule the world.

Their brothers went to defect, let alone Gan Xingba defected to Sun Wu, at least they would be reused.

When he arrived in Daming, Fu Wenlong heard that the salary of the naval division of Daming was the best in the world, and any officer and leader was the salary of the general of the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, Fu Wenlong, who felt quite good about himself, filled in the navy division in his first choice, and left everything else blank, and was defaulted to obey the assignment.

Among the immigrants, there were quite a few people with criminal records. Daming did not blame the past for this, but why did he let them enter the navy?

Even if you really have special skills, you have to work in factories or agricultural reclamation areas for a period of time, and you must be sure that you have got rid of bad habits before you can be recruited into the army.

So they were broken up and placed into different positions.

There are only three brothers left beside Fu Wenlong.

With the three brothers and himself, Fu Wenlong felt that he could walk sideways in this Xinyang area.

From his point of view, sir, I have settled down with peace of mind. This is because the sun comes out from the west, so why not use more water?

Believe it or not, tomorrow I will ride a horse with a gun and join the bandits!

Of course, Fu Wenlong would not personally do such things as farming if he said he wanted to settle down with peace of mind.

He does nothing but eat and sleep every day.

The farm work is basically done by his younger brother.

The only thing he did that was related to farm work was to give the order to build a dam and cut off the water.

……

Seeing that Fu Wenlong kept scolding Daming, Lai Lao San was completely angry: "You surnamed Hu, have you given your conscience to a dog? Such a good place, even if you Jiangxi is a land of fish and rice, with your humble appearance, your ancestors can Leave such a good place for you?!"

"Ah bah, then Emperor Zhu is really kind to you, why didn't you give the land to the east to us immigrants? Why did you set up a restricted area and would rather leave it unused? (Both are big oil fields)"

Fu Wenlong scolded, "Aren't the emperors all the same in the world, just care about his foreign women, how can they care about our life and death? I heard people say that if it doesn't rain for four months, it will be his day." The foreign woman offended the Dragon Lord, so God punished her!"

click!

"what sound?"

Fu Wenlong turned his head and saw little brother A was resetting a button on the radio.

He frowned and said, "Why are you tinkering with this thing? It's not the time for the milk teasing joke, is it? During the day, there are only those boring government lectures..."

Before Fu Wenlong could finish speaking, younger brother B and younger brother C suddenly rose up and pushed him to the ground.

Under the stunned eyes of Lai Xinyou's family, Fu Wenlong struggled frantically: "Let go of me, what do you bastards want to do! Do you want to make me take the top spot?"

"Sorry boss, times have changed!"

Little brother A put the radio away, knelt down and said earnestly, "We didn't have a choice before, but now we want to be good people!"

"who knows?"
