So the farmers were so afraid that they fled, and even planned to help the old and the young hide in the nearby mountains. Local officials and officials forced them not to leave, which made them afraid to go anywhere in the village.
But even if officials force them, they dare not take the initiative to approach the soldiers and hide at home and dare not come out.
Men, women and children dare not appear, and the old, the weak and the disabled dare to appear, which makes local officials very angry.
Chapter 147 Army doing farm work
Seeing that the local bureaucrats are going to do something unpleasant, military officers and instructors should stop it and ask the local bureaucrats not to force them.
They’re here to work, not to do other things. It’s not like the people don’t have their own eyes. They can learn things after all.
At the beginning, the soldiers were not familiar with local agricultural products and production methods, so they asked local officials to find experienced old farmers to teach officers and instructors the methods and experience to understand some taboos different from those in the Central Plains.
Then the officers and instructors told the soldiers about these things, and the soldiers went to the fields. Then the farmers continued to work without finishing their farm work, and they did not take the initiative to get too close to these farmers, but worked silently.
When the meal arrives, they bring their own food and water to eat and drink. After drinking, it is noon lunch break for an hour. The soldiers find shade and other places to lay mats and rest. They don’t enter the house and don’t disturb the farmers to rest silently.
After lunch break, we will get together and continue to do farm work until the sun sets, then put the farm tools in order, tie up the livestock on the other side of the field, tidy up the places where we have slept, tidy up the garbage department and leave in line
After several days of repetition, local farmers were curious about this army and found that they really brought their own farm tools to eat and drink. When they were finished, they would pile up one neatly and compensate themselves for many broken ones.
Don’t say that farmers even feel strange about local officials and officials.
At first, they all thought that the army was joking, making a gesture of being close to the people and being mysterious. After all, that’s what the face meant.
Therefore, they also want to help the army to get through this fresh matter quickly so that they can return to the barracks as soon as possible.
As a result, it seems that they are really good at doing farm work, and they are very experienced. It is also true for the people to do farm work or rest under the shade of trees or in some shady places and not enter the house.
When it rains, you will bring your own hemp fiber, hat and canopy to shelter yourself from the rain.
After one day’s farm work, the east and the west took away the farmers’ things and left the fields to be served well, which was quite intensive.
They are really engaged in agricultural production, and the level of agricultural production is quite good. It is also true that there is no incident of disturbing the people after committing crimes.
Is this really something that the army can do?
The whole agricultural production area in the middle of the river, but similar news came everywhere where soldiers went. It was really unexpected that these news were summarized in Masud’s ear.
He found Su Haisheng and found that Su Haisheng also looked like he had just come back from the farmland, dressed in coarse bunting and a hat, dirty and smelly.
He can’t believe that this man is a former senior general who drinks with himself and laughs.
So he spoke out his doubts.
"What really do farm work? What’s your question? Didn’t I tell you? Stop and go, but things have to be big. That’s what a soldier country does. Your country is a big vassal country and should be treated as a big country. Of course, a big army will do the same. "
Su Haisheng took off his sweaty clothes and constantly scooped water to wash himself.
"Most of the big soldiers are farmers. I also did farm work and cultivated land in my early years. Even after joining the army, it is normal to organize troops to help if there is any emergency production or emergency rescue."
Masud was flabbergasted.
"incredibly … incredibly still have such a thing …"
"Army soldiers are also farmers’ younger brothers. Everyone is a family. If you have any difficulties, you must help each other to eat food. Farmers have worked hard to help them do farm work. What’s the matter? Isn’t this normal? "
Su Haisheng’s words surprised Masud even more.
Because he was quite sure that such a thing could not happen in the kingdom of West Karahan.
How can you put a knife to do farm work when you are holding a knife?
Farmers are scared to death of soldiers, and soldiers seem to be the kind of farmers who take food supplements at will by moving them around.
And the army …
All these can be put back. Now Masud’s favorite thing is Su Haisheng’s plan.
Is he going to lead troops to farm here all the time?
"That crusade against flower thorn countries things …"
"Don’t worry, sooner or later, it depends on whether their department will have any problems now."
Su Haisheng smiled and patted Masud on the shoulder while wiping his hair. "It’s not hard for you to help you do farm work during your stay, is it?"
"That … really is"
Masud smiled and nodded his head.
Su Haisheng’s statement is indeed reasonable.
At present, half of the grain stores made by the army are from the West Karahan Kingdom. Masud intended to make up for this part of the expenditure from the post-war war war against the country, but it seems that it is not needed now.
These soldiers are all top-notch able-bodied men, and they are also first-class and good at farm work. However, the kingdom of West Karahan lost a lot of able-bodied men because of the western Liao conscription and this big conscription, which delayed the farming season and thought that this year’s harvest was a bit dangerous.
However, it is even better for these big men to get a top-notch military discipline when they do farm work, which makes Masud think that the agricultural harvest may not be too bad this year.
Why don’t you keep looking?
Masud has never seen such an army, mainly because the number and duration of its appearance in the long history of this army are too few and too short, but it is by no means never seen.
Zhuge Liang ruled the Han army once, and when Zhuge Liang’s soldiers left Wuzhang, the Han army soldiers lived together with the local Wei people to farm the fields, and nothing bad happened.
It can be seen that this kind of thing can be done even if the rulers have the heart in ancient times. For most rulers, this kind of thing is really unnecessary, and Zhuge Liang also has one.
But this kind of thing is necessary for China.
I really don’t want to say that with the help of these 30 thousand able-bodied men, the middle of the river was delayed by war and conscription, and the farming season was really taken back a little bit
Su Haisheng took his soldiers with bare arms and waved hoes in the sun to drive cattle and mules to help plow the fields. It’s really good for crops to grow.
During this period, the local farmers have also made great changes to the army. From the very beginning, they couldn’t avoid taking the initiative to send water to the busy soldiers in the fields, and it took about half a month.
For example, the army eats three meals a day and these farmers can eat two meals a day, but this does not stop emotional contact and blending.
The soldiers came early to help with the farm work, and marched back in order at night. The military discipline was so good that local farmers had to believe that the soldiers really came to help them with the farm work.
Moreover, they were very disciplined and did not destroy the farmers’ furniture and houses, but also made the whole village clean.
The farmers discussed it for a while and felt that they could try to get in touch with the army and sent some men to send some food to the army as soon as they got in touch.
The soldiers accepted with a smile and gave them copper coins.
Chapter 1479 People’s hearts have been won by the army
The farmers didn’t know big copper coins, but they guessed that they were money, and they were very surprised and a little scared to accept them.
When did the Chinese army take their food and give money?
Isn’t this a well-known practice in everyone’s heart?
The soldiers then called local officials and asked them to translate that there were rules in the big army not to take anything from the people.
All the needs of the big army are from the state and the people can’t take anything from the people when they pay taxes.
If you take it for a reason, you must also pay, otherwise you will violate military discipline and be severely punished.
After listening to this, the local officials were extremely dumbfounded for a long time before they reacted and stammered the military meaning to the local farmers.
