Chapter 2 Soldier or Farming?

Due to the popularity of film and television dramas, Liu Bei was given the impression that he had little ability and seemed to only have the ability to cry. Lan Tian did not have a very good impression of this guy.

Looking at Gan Qian in the snow, a line of words suddenly popped into his mind: Queen Gan, the late lord, was from Pei. The late lord came to Yuzhou and lived in Xiaopei, and she took her as his concubine. The former lord mourned the death of her eldest daughter-in-law and often took pictures of her.

thing.

Is this girl Mrs. Gan? No wonder the name Gan Qian sounds familiar.

Cao Cao's entrepreneurial expenses are great, Sun Quan's entrepreneurial expenses are for his father and brother, Liu Bei's entrepreneurial expenses are for his wife...

Lan Tian was upset about his poor start a few days ago, but now he seems to have become Liu Adou's uncle?

hiss...

Gan Qian is beautiful, gentle and kind-hearted. Now Lan Tian is faced with a choice. Should he prepare to be a relative of Shu Han's emperor, or should he find a way to prevent his sworn sister from marrying Uncle Liu?

"Let's go home. This team seems to have no intention of entering the village." Gan Qian pulled Lan Tian up and said.

"oh..."

The two returned home, and Ganji closed the doors and windows tightly like a frightened bird.

"Don't go out these days, otherwise Cao Cao's soldiers will come again." Ganji ordered.

Early the next morning, the officials from Xiaopei City came to the village again, beating gongs and drums to ask the living people to gather at the entrance of the village. Ganji once again told Gan Qian and Lantian not to go out, and he walked out alone with his hands in his sleeves.

go.

As the saying goes: The poor should not fight with the rich, and the rich should not fight with the officials.

No matter how big or small the officials in Xiaopeilai were, they could not be offended by the common people. There was nothing Ganji could do about it. When they came to Anmin to collect the corpses, his name had already been recorded.

"Brother Tian, ​​will dad be okay if he goes out?" Gan Qian asked worriedly.

After getting along for a few days, Lan Tian's unintentional words and deeds made Gan Qian feel that this younger brother was very special.

"It should be fine, Sister Qian, don't worry, can I sneak out and have a look?" Lan Tian said.

"Daddy asked us not to go out, why don't you follow him secretly?" Ganji had been out for a while, and Gan Qian really felt uneasy.

"Well, then don't go out." Lan Tian said.

"Be careful." Gan Qian warned.

"I can spare it."

Lantian closed the door and quietly walked toward the village entrance, where he saw dozens of black spots in the distance.

When he got a little closer, the group of people suddenly cheered and then dispersed towards Wangjiazhuang.

What does it mean?

Lan Tian was hiding far away and didn't know the situation, but judging from the expressions of these people, it seemed that everyone was very happy. Could it be that they were going to distribute relief to everyone?

Thinking of this, Lan Tian shook his head secretly. In this era, it is too late to sweep away the snow. How can an official care about the life and death of the people?

After everyone left, Lan Tian shook off the snow on his body. He did not go home directly, but walked to the small river in the east of the village, thinking to see if there was any prey in the trap.

Yesterday he put five trap baskets, and when he picked them up, he saw two fish. Although they didn't look very big, they would be very fragrant when boiled in a pot of fish soup.

After Lantian picked up the fish, he moved the traps to several places. He liked this fishing method of waiting for the rabbit to catch the fish, giving him a sense of anticipation as if he were opening a blind box.

As soon as this guy walked to the door carrying two fishes, he heard Ganji talking inside the house, "Why haven't you come back yet? The child must have been scared away, right? It's a pity that we have eaten so much corn in our house in vain..."

"Dad, Brother Tian went out to look for you, how about I go out to look for him again?" Gan Qian argued.

"It's very stormy and snowy outside, that's all, let him go..."

Dong Dong Dong, Lan Tian knocked on the door.

Although Ganji's words were harsh to hear, they were not hateful in this era of food shortages and disasters. After all, he helped a stranger even when he didn't even have enough to eat.

"You're back? This is..." Gan Qian opened the door and was happy when she saw Lan Tian. She was even more happy when she saw the two fish in her hands.

"I harvested two." Lantian said with a smile, as if he didn't hear what Ganji said just now.

Ganji also saw the fish in his hand and said in surprise: "Did you go to catch fish just now?"

"yes."

"Are your pants wet?" Ganji asked, looking at them.

"No, the shoes are a little bit wet. I'll just bake them by the stove later." Lan Tian said with a smile.

Although Ganji's words just now were very philistine, his concern for Lantian came from the bottom of his heart. He was a typical kind-hearted and calculating ordinary farmer.

"This is indeed a good year for the auspicious snow. Our family's livelihood is promising next year. Tian'er, you caught live fish again today. Qian'er, you use it to cook a pot of soup. Our family hasn't had meat for a long time." Ganji laughed heartily.

road.

Gan Qian took the two fishes from Lan Tian and then walked into the kitchen behind to handle them.

"Father, did someone from Xiaopei say something?" Lan Tian asked doubtfully.

Ganji said seriously: "The troops that passed by yesterday belonged to Liu Xuande. Mr. Tao asked him to station in Xiaopei. I heard that this man has a reputation for benevolence and righteousness. The people who came from Xiaopei City just now recruited troops for him.

.”

In that chaotic era, soldiers privately recruited by local powerful men were called "buqu". Most of them were landless serfs. They were attached to the local powerful men, and together with their family members, they cultivated their master's fields and ate their master's food.

These 'buqu' belong to the private property of local powerful people and can be inherited and donated as goods.

The jobs of the tribe are also divided into three categories. The young and middle-aged people are private soldiers who fight for the lord. The old people either work in workshops or serve as handymen transporting grain and baggage. The family members basically farm the land and pay for food for the boss.

Liu Bei started from scratch and experienced the feeling of not having military power. Therefore, during his tenure as Prime Minister of Pinghuangjin, he developed the habit of secretly recruiting troops. Even when he later defected to Yuan Shao, he secretly recruited troops.

Ganji was accustomed to holding a hoe in his life, and he had no blood to go to the battlefield with swords and guns, so he took the initiative to plant land and provide food for Liu Bei.

Anyway, both the left and the right are farming. It’s just that Boss Wang has become Boss Liu. Now that he has a new master, there will be no problem with the grain for next spring farming.

When Liu Bei came to Xiaopei, Tao Qian not only gave him four thousand Danyang soldiers, but also allocated a lot of money and food.

"Xiaotian, you are already fifteen years old. Do you want to farm with me on the village, or follow General Liu to serve as a soldier and eat food? Although you are thin, you should be able to harvest it over there." Ganji asked.

Serving as a soldier for Liu Da'er? I don't have a good impression of him.

Lan Tian shook his head decisively. As a graduate student at the Agricultural University, he was still close to the land.

"I'd better farm with you." Lan Tian replied affirmatively.

Ganji nodded with satisfaction and said: "Well, it is easier to eat food as a soldier, but it is easy to die without a sword. Although farming is a bit harder, you can survive at least."

Gan Ji looked forward to the future for a while, and soon Gan Qian brought a pot of fish soup to the table.

In this era of food shortage, it is not easy to eat meat. However, due to insufficient seasoning and Gan Qian's cooking skills are very rough, the taste is only marginal.

With just an occasional fish meal, Lantian stayed at Gan's house for two months.

Spring is warm, flowers are blooming, ice and snow melt, and spring plowing in Wangjiazhuang begins.

Lan Tian stood in the field and rolled up his sleeves. He finally came to my major and wanted to show off his skills this time.
