Chapter 381 Nanxiang Affairs

Li Qiu nodded, and simply made it clear to Duanmuzhe, "Brother sent a letter from Jincheng, asking us to send some good dogs over here, at least as good as the ones that can understand human speech on weekdays. The extent to which you can take care of your flock yourself."

   "And let those who can call dogs follow. My brother also said that dogs will be used in many places in the future, and they are said to be very useful."

  Looking at Duanmuzhe, Li Qiu continued, "Also, later on, Nanxiang will build a dog farm to train dogs, just like this ranch specializes in raising cattle and sheep."

   "So, you don't have to worry about the manpower. Just choose and say what you want. There is only one thing, and that is this dog farm. It must produce good dogs. The more the better."

   "Brother's original intention was to ask you to be the steward of this dog farm. So let me ask you, do you dare to take over?"

  After hearing this, Duanmuzhe lay down again tremblingly, and said excitedly, "The villain must do his best to raise a good dog for his master!"

   No need to think too much, this is about to turn over completely!

   Master Li also said that this good dog is of great use!

   If you really want to become the steward of the dog farm, wouldn't it be more certain to marry the woman of the Han family? At that time, I don't know if the woman from the Han family can think of me?

   "Okay, then this matter is settled like this. After you go back, you will tell those who handle the dogs and tell them to prepare, and then take all the trained dogs with you to Jincheng."

   "Also, you can pick out some people who can call dogs from the barbarians in Nanxiang, and follow them together. Brother will be useful. It would be best if there are people who can call dogs."

  The barbarians from Nanxiang didn’t know if they could get used to it when they arrived in Jincheng. The reason why more people went there was because they were afraid that some people would die there.

"After the dog farm is built later, all the dogs in Nanxiang have to be picked out, and all the usable ones have to be picked out. You have to think about how many people you want to use, and then see who is suitable for the dog farm. Han people and Hu people, tell Huo Jianling when the time comes."

   After Li Qiu finished speaking, he waved his hand to let him go down.

   "Yes, the villain must handle this matter properly."

   Duanmu Zhe replied, bowed and retreated.

   "Xinhou, tell me, this brother... brother suddenly sent a letter asking for so many dogs, will something happen to Jincheng?"

   When there were only two people left in the room, Huo Yi asked.

   "What can happen? The biggest thing for the big man at this time is the prime minister's southern expedition..."

  Li Qiu said this, glanced at Huo Yi, suddenly understood, and asked if he had some understanding, "Shao Xian means Nanzheng..."

  Huo Yi nodded, "Even if my brother wants to use dogs to see Zhuangzi, there is no need to send a letter from Hanzhong. After thinking about it, how can there be a brother in Jincheng who wants to use so many dogs?"

"When I was in the palace before, I heard the old man in the palace say that the big man used to use a specially trained dog as a night whistle in the army before. At this time, the prime minister was going south, so I wondered if my brother would be ..."

   Having said this, Huo Yi paused and looked at Li Qiu.

   Li Qiu looked over at the same time, "Brother, do you want to follow south?"

  Huo Yi nodded.

   Both of them saw the blazing light in each other's eyes, and then showed regret at the same time.

  Southern Expedition... It was the time when the men made contributions, but unfortunately, they could only watch from afar in Hanzhong.

  But they also understand that even if they are not in Hanzhong but in Jincheng at this time, they have no chance to participate in the Southern Expedition.

  Yiwen and Zishi, that is really a great luck.

   "The trained dog was taken to Jincheng, but there are more and more cattle and sheep on this pasture. I'm afraid Shaoxian will have to work harder during this time."

  Li Qiu quickly recovered his mood, and said to Huo Yi.

   "It's okay, I didn't come here like this before when there were no dogs. It's just that I have to let Yizhi bring back some barbarians from the mine."

   Fortunately, there are not many dogs trained to herd cattle and sheep, so the impact is not too great.

Not far from them, the second wife of the Xu family was standing in the field that had just been plowed, and ordered her servants to crush the soil and **** finely, and then told them to scatter the manure transported from the pasture. even out.

  There was a rancid smell on the ground, but Xu Erniang was generous, without the slightest discomfort, let alone the shyness of a lady.

"Er Niang, why do we need to grow these yutos in this field? Now that Nanxiang is not short of food, why not just plant all of them with water spinach? This water spinach can be eaten by people, as well as by livestock. Wouldn't it be good to have more varieties? "

   Li Tong followed Xu Erniang and asked her humbly for advice.

  Xu Erniang stroked the fallen hair on her temples, and replied softly, "Li Langjun, although this bun is not very tasty, it can be used in an emergency if it is placed in a disaster year."

   As he spoke, he pointed to the field in the distance, "Besides, it is easy to plant and grow, so it is a good thing. For example, if you set aside one acre of grain land for grain, you will not be in danger of starvation."

   "It's just that it hurts the land too much and requires a lot of water, so it can't be planted in many varieties, and it can't be planted in the same place all the time."

  Li Tong nodded, and suddenly said, "What Er Niang means is that these yu heads can be eaten by those barbarians?"

"My concubine thinks this way. When some barbarians in Nanxiang are punished, don't they have to eat chaff? The chaff can actually be saved and replaced with yu. And the chaff that is replaced can be eaten by the dolphins in the dolphin house." a little better."

"Also, the petiole of this yu head is chopped up, and it can also be eaten by dolphins. In fact, dolphins like to eat this. Besides, the workshop will build a special dolphin house in another place recently, saying that it will raise more dolphins .In this way, the petiole of this Yu head can be used just right.”

  Knowing that these lands belong to the Li family in name, and the Liulang of the Li family in front of him is in charge, so the second wife of the Xu family took the trouble to explain to him.

  Li Tong looked at Xu Erniang's face that was more ruddy than those of the women raised in the boudoir because of the wind and sun outside, and admired heartily, "Erniang, I'm afraid no one can compare to you in this field."

"Li Langjun was joking, how can I compare to Feng Langjun in this matter of the fields? Besides, it is the matter of retting and fertilizing, isn't it Feng Langjun who proposed it? Not to mention deep plowing and more grain harvesting way."

When Xu Erniang said this, there was some excitement on her face again, "Speaking of deep plowing, I found that if this yu head is plowed deeply, it seems to be much better than before. Because this yu is often exposed to the soil surface, it is often green. , it will taste astringent.”

   "So when it comes to the field mu, Feng Langjun is the most powerful."

  Watching Xu Erniang talk about this endlessly, Li Tong: …

  Recalling that he and his elder sister were dispatched to Nanxiang by the family because of the Feng Tubie that Erniang talked about, Li Tong felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

  Although the family didn’t say it clearly at the time, Li Tong understood the implied meaning: If Feng Tubie doesn’t like women and prefers men, then it’s his turn to play...

   Fortunately, Feng Tubie didn't like this, otherwise Li Tong couldn't even imagine what would happen to him.

  So this is why he didn't give Feng Yong a good look at the beginning.

   While he was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard someone shouting, and then someone reminded him, "Li Langjun, Mrs. Mu is calling you."

  Hearing this, Li Tongtong looked over quickly, and saw a woman standing on a high place in the distance looking over here, her clothes fluttering and her manners were full of looks. From a distance, she was really a fairy-like figure.

   Not my sister who is it?

  Beside her, there is a maidservant standing beside her, and she knows it is the servant girl Axiang without even thinking about it.

  Behind her, two old soldiers wearing weapons followed closely to protect her.

   Except for these three people, no one dared to come within five feet.

  Nanxiang Mu Niangzi's prestige is so terrifying.

  Li Tong trotted over quickly, and saluted Li Mu: "Sister."

  Li Mumeiyan had no expression on her face, she nodded and said, "Follow me."

   Walking to a stack of straw, blocking other people's eyes, Li Mu said to the other three, "You three go and guard over there, don't let others come over."

   It is true that no one can hear it, so Li Mu turned his head and asked Li Tong coldly, "Do you like that second lady of the Xu family?"
