In May, Emperor Wanli ordered the world to express his conscription and said to the people: "Now the seedlings are growing in full bloom, so we must take advantage of the time to cultivate and not be lazy."

At this time, watering and top dressing work began in all farms in Wuzhaibao, and everything was busy.

Compared to his subordinates' busyness, Huang Laifu seems to be idle these times. He has already assigned his subordinates to do everything he should do. He doesn't need to worry about what to do.

During this period of May, Huang Laifu was busy with another thing.

My father Huang Sihao will retire in June. At that time, he will have to report to the Ministry of War and go to Beijing to replace him with a thousand households. For these replacements, in addition to checking their character, the Ministry of War can also check his family or his martial arts history. Sometimes it will also ask for competitions to see if the replacement is skilled in swords, guns, and horses, and must obtain qualified results before approval can be approved. For example, shooting archery requires that twelve arrows be shot at a distance of fifty steps to hit six arrows.

Although the Ming Dynasty's Pacific System was corrupt, the basic system was still there. If you want to replace your post smoothly, you should not neglect it. After May, your family was preparing for Huang Laifu's visit to Beijing, while Huang Laifu was busy riding horses and shooting archery all day long, practicing martial arts.

On May 10, a happy event occurred at Qianhu's house. The admission quota for Zhenxi Weiwei School was released. Huang Laifu's younger brother Huang Lingbin was admitted to the Grain Student of Zhenxi Weiwei School.

This student is not simple. Generally speaking, students in the hygiene school are divided into third-class students. First-class students are called "Liansheng Students". There are only a few people. They can receive 6 dou of rice from the Confucian Temple every month. They are the best students. Second-class students are called "Zengguang Students", so there is no food to receive. Third-class students are called "Attached Students", and they are the most ordinary students.

The salary of the students in the garrison is so good, so naturally everyone wants to enter, especially the children of the officers in the garrison.

However, it is not so easy to do this. The admission quotas for Confucianism and Wei students in the Wei Institute are issued by local governments, which are completely different systems. Those literati disdain to establish relationships with these military officers, let alone through the back door. Whether they can pass the exam or not depends on their own abilities.

Huang Lingbin is thin and can't manage the Huang family if he is a thin family. Fortunately, he likes to study, enter the Wei School, and strives for fame in the future. This is his best way out.

After receiving this notice, everyone in Qianhu's house was very happy. Huang Lingbin's mother and second wife Liu were even more smiling. Everyone was discussing that Huang Laifu was leaving the fort and entering Beijing in June. Will the two brothers go to Jinxiwei together to go to Zhenxiwei together?

There are two roads for Huang Laifu to enter Beijing. One is through Zhenningwu Pass in Shanxi to Taiyuan, and then to Beijing. The other is through Kelanzhou to Taiyuan, and then to Beijing. The final route is naturally through Kelanzhou to Taiyuan, and then to Beijing.

First, the elder brother wants to send his younger brother out and see how his younger brother’s school is. Second, Gu Qianhu and Gu Yunniang have been away from home for so long, so it’s time to go back together. Also, the marriage between Huang Laifu and Gu Yunniang is scheduled to be September 9th. Should this son-in-law go to his mother-in-law’s house to visit before the marriage? Things have been decided.

When talking about this, Huang Laifu seemed to be nothing. Only Gu Yunniang blushed with shame, buried her head in Yang's arms, and did not dare to look up at everyone.

He was about to leave the fort and live alone in the future. Huang Lingbin was nervous and excited. When he talked about this with Huang Laifu in private, he looked a little scared. Huang Laifu patted his shoulder and comforted his younger brother not to be afraid: "If anyone dares to bully you then, you can write a letter to tell your elder brother, and your elder brother will support you."

In addition to the matter of Qianhu House, a major event also happened in the Ming Dynasty during these times.

In early May, Li Lianfang, deputy general of Gansu of the Ming Dynasty, was ambushed by the Mongolian army at the junction of Gansu and Qinghai, and died in a fierce battle. After the news reached Beijing, the public was excited, and most officials advocated stopping the trade and launching troops to fight. King Shunyi of Mongolia, Tsullike, also prepared for the war, crossed the Yellow River, and prepared to go to war with the Ming Dynasty, and the situation was about to break out.

Because of the seriousness of this matter, Emperor Wanli held an early court and discussed ways to deal with the ministers. Wanli agreed with the opinions of most court officials, believing that a tough attitude should be adopted, but the chief minister Shen Shixing tried to ease.

Shen Shixing believed that King Shunyi of Mongolia did not make up his mind to make a full-scale war, and not every Mongolian tribe was willing to give up the interests of mutual markets and fight against the Ming Dynasty. As long as there was hope for peace, war should not be easily spoken of.

He also believed that such a thing happened on the border of the Ming Dynasty because all the border towns received serious empty wages. If the empty quota of each town was filled, the warehouse was full, and the north was well-versed in the ears and eyes, they would never dare to provoke easily.

He also believed that the national dynasty and the Northern Territory had been connected for thousands of miles, and they would eventually be broken by the other side. Even if the Ming army won a hundred times, they would not be able to occupy the grassland. The northern land was desolate and useless, so they would have to give up in the end and had to waste their military pay in vain.

Finally, the decision to war was cancelled, and the training of the Beijing Army was in charge of the training of the Ministry of War, Zheng Luo, was sent to the northern governor of various towns, and was particularly warned of the Mongolian Bushitu and Huoluochi tribes who were provoking trouble this time. Slowly, the situation in the borders of Gansu and Qinghai stabilized. The Ming army did not launch, and the Mongolian army did not move.

These big things naturally could not have any impact on the small Wuzhai Fort. When Huang Laifu read this news in the newspaper, the matter was slowly calmed down. However, when he saw this report, there was a smell of storm coming and wind filling the building.

May 13, 1590.

Spring wheat in various farms in Wuzhaibao has begun to emerge, showing vigorous vitality.

On the side of the road, a spacious carriage drove along the road towards Wuzhai Fort. From the carriage, you can see the canals passing by on both sides and various wells beside the fields.

"It's rare. Along the way, the wheat seedlings in Wuzhai Fort have grown the best." An old voice came from the carriage.

Another younger voice sounded: "Dad, it seems that what the fourth brother said is really reliable. It doesn't seem to be talking big... Oh, is that a water truck? Why is it so huge?"

"...Really, such a big water truck, I have never seen it even in Jiangnan, right?"

"Hmph, it seems that the fourth brother is right to make this bet. He is afraid he is very proud, right?" The younger voice could not hide his jealousy.

"What's his pride? You are brothers. He has found a new source of grain. Can you give it to you, the eldest brother without any share?"

"I'm afraid it's not necessarily." The young voice sneered and stopped talking.

May 13 is the Guandi Temple Fair in Wuzhai Fort. The area around Guandi Temple in Tianguandi Temple is very lively. In addition to the people who are attending the temple fair, there are also many people watching something in front of a two-story wooden building. A few words of poverty is shaking his head and chanting something.

I saw a notice above, with a few big words written on it: Hiring a veterinarian for a high salary... (To be continued)
