On the third day of the second month of the fourth year of Chongning in the Song Dynasty, the first hour of the morning of the morning, seven hundred villagers gathered in the ash forest.

Yue Fei couldn't help but admire these hard-working and hardworking fellow villagers, whose combat effectiveness is so lasting.

Today, we are still full of fighting spirit from the beginning of the morning hours to the present, after three hours of training and marching.

When I was eating steamed buns in the middle, I rested for a quarter of an hour, and then I marched for forcing me to walk for ten miles on that rugged road.

When walking, you not only walk, but also have to hold your strength and practice walking in a simultaneous manner.

Yue Fei originally wanted to increase the difficulty for everyone so that they could be mentally prepared for the difficulties and tests they would encounter in the past.

How could we know that these villagers with deep foundations did not take this ten miles seriously at all.

When Yue Fei left, he quietly asked Uncle Huzi: "Uncle Huzi, this road is so difficult to walk, they seem to be very relaxed?"

Uncle Huzi smiled disapprovingly: "This road is hard to go? Xiaofei, you are so strange.

“The most common path we take is the mountainous land where there is no road at all.

"Mountains are also common, and the most difficult thing to walk on is to climb those cliffs."

After hearing this, Yue Fei said: "Oh."

I couldn't help but feel a fever on my face and felt guilty.

Looking at Hu Zi again, it was indeed like walking on the flat ground, carrying Yue Fei around his neck, walking casually, and there was no need to look at the road!

He thought Uncle Huzi was so capable of having special abilities. When he saw that others were similar, he was like strolling in the garden.

Yue Fei swore that he would never find such a place to increase the difficulty for these villagers in the future.

For them, this kind of mountain road is as relaxed and comfortable as walking around the streets when they have nothing to do.

Yue Fei held his breath in his heart, don’t you walk well?

I will ask you to cut down trees later to see if you dare to take it lightly.

With this main point, Yue Fei briefly introduced a few words to everyone thank Zhang Hongkui. Through him, he would ask everyone to cut down trees.

But at this moment, Zhang Hongba jumped out again and, as always, against himself.

Yue Fei was a little angry and embarrassed.

You make trouble with me again and again, thinking that Yue Fei is a child who is easy to bully, right?

Humph, I'll give you some excellence later. If there is no rule, you can't be cubic.

Zhang Hongba rushed out of the crowd and continued to shout: "Young Master Yue, you have to make the decision for me. My brother bullies me, I'm so miserable."

Yue Fei said, "Strange thing! Will you be bullied? As far as I know, you have been bullying others and bullying your brother, right? It was not until your brother could not bear it anymore that he rose up to resist. We just uphold justice and support your brother. And you have always been against us. Isn't you turning the tables and the evil ones complaining first? Forget it, since you are complaining, I always have to listen to your reasons. Now, tell me how your brother bullies you? If it is reasonable, I will make the decision for you; if there is no reason, I will make trouble, and I will punish you heavily."

Zhang Hongba probably felt wronged and knelt down with a pounce: "Thank you, Mr. Yue, for your willingness to listen to my appeal. I thank you for your eight generations of ancestors.

I am indeed wronged! I won’t say that I am far away, just say that my senior official, the senior official of the Grand Security Bureau, was pulled down by my brother recently?

"Don't you know that my Zhang family has a rule, who will be the head of the family in the next round?

"Now I can't even be a little security chief, but my brother Zhang Hongkui, the black-hearted wolf, has become the mediator's security chief!

"Is this a big loss? He took a big advantage. It is obvious that he bullied me, right?

"Whoever says that you can't see it is because you don't have eyes, or you have eyes but no beads."

I don’t know how long it took to be brewing this Zhang Hongba, but he finished it in one go.

It wasn't until this time that I took a breath.

Hu Zi asked angrily: "Do you have a second injustice?"

Zhang Hongba said with confidence: "There is! There is a third..."

Yue Fei said: "I don't have time to listen to your longing. I have to do serious things later. Today you will say one and I'll help you think about it."

Zhang Hongba said: "That's it? Then I'll say the most important thing. Although I was so angry that I was half-hearted, I didn't take it seriously.

“I can leave it alone when it doesn’t happen.

"But I must never fail to figure out the following matter, it is the woods opposite..."

Huzi said: "Your brother has given it to Yue Fei, why do you still have to interrupt?"

Zhang Hongdao: "It is precisely because he has sent away this land and the woods on the ground that I have to speak out. Even if he has represented the Zhang family in private, I can accept the rest, but this land and the woods cannot."

Yue Fei asked strangely: "Why can't it work? You can tell me the reason in detail."

Zhang Hongba said: "Okay, I will tell you the whole story of this forest... Then who, brother, come here too."

Zhang Hongkui was hiding from afar. Since the two of them broke up, they were suffering and deeply revenge. He didn't want to listen to his brother's nonsense.

However, since he was asked to listen to the lecture in public, he had to get rid of the tough ones, otherwise it would affect his reputation.

Zhang Hongba first explained to his younger brother the reason for calling him over: "I'll call you over and listen to me tell you the origin of this forest because you don't know it either.

“I am the only one in our generation, because I am the boss.

"Do you think I am the boss to fight for property and to be the head of the family?

"That's of course, because I can only ensure the tasks assigned by the previous head of the family if I get the property and become the head of the family.

"But the most fundamental reason is to protect this wood from destruction, and it can be passed on."

When Zhang Hongkui heard this, the black on his face also retreated a little, turning into black and red, and said, "Okay, I understand."

"Don't be foolish, explain it clearly to Mr. Yue and the envoy of Hu Zi, otherwise you will have good fruits to eat."

Although he hated this vicious brother, he was still concerned about him, after all, he didn't break up the word Zhang.

In addition, there is another relationship. The cousin he was in love with was his brother who had not had a third match.

Local marriage customs: intermarriage is absolutely not allowed without the three servers. Only after the three servers can we get married.

But not taking three doses is equivalent to having sex, so Zhang Hongkui didn't want to offend him to death.

This kind of marriage custom is a major event in the village. If Zhang Hongkui does not abide by the rules, he will not dare to step beyond the line.

He is generally a young man who is self-disciplined. Such people are not afraid of others scolding him in person, and most afraid of someone pointing at his back and scolding him.

Yue Fei said: "Zhang Hongba, since that's the case, you can tell me."

So, Zhang Hongba talked about his family background.

The one who settled in Chenggang Village was his great-grandson named Zhang Heran. He took the whole family over with a burden, including his family and property.

It can be seen how poor and destitute he was at that time.

Although the load is not very big, there is a space inside that contains some tender branches.

This kind of branch is the seedling of ash stem.

Because the best way to reproduce ash rods is to be cultivated using young branches grown on old trees.

The reason why there is such a thing in his burden is that he escaped from Shangqiu and tried his best to succeed.

At that time, Shangqiu was the unique place of ash tree production, and local governments and owners were strictly prohibited from evacuating.

Zhang Heran is an experienced old farmer of aquatic wax poles and knows the value of this thing, so he took the risk to bring some here.

Then the first thing is to plant these fine ash pole seedlings on the current land.

This place was carefully selected by Zhang Heran. It is not only fertile but also has abundant water resources, because it is located on the bank of Tang River.

At that time, this land was a wasteland, and there was actually no master. He spent three taels of silver to the person in charge at that time.

The man was still doing business and did not collect money in vain. He was considered conscience. He turned around and got a land deed for him, which he still kept at home.

Zhang Heran is a good tree planter, planting all the seedlings brought over, and strictly following the technical links.

Three years later, the seedlings grew into tree strips, which means they had become teenagers of the ash rod family, so they transplanted them again.

This time the distance is relatively wide so that the forest area will continue to reproduce in the future.

Speaking of this, Zhang Hongba pointed at a few big trees in the forest, with a diameter of two feet thick and thin. The crown was also huge and lush.

He said: "Those big trees were the ancestors planted at that time, and the ancestors carried by the ancestors, which have been around for almost a hundred years."

Yue Fei also looked at it and said it was a big tree, but where was it big?

But he also knew that this was a huge friend in the ash tree group.

Compared with those little brothers who can only be used as ash poles, at least these big trees can be made into more than a dozen ash poles.

However, the time it takes to grow into these big trees is much longer than that of the young trees of ash.

With these preliminary foundations, Zhang Heran began to tiller seedlings and then cultivated them from seedlings into young strips.

Then let it grow from a young tree.

This young tree becomes the raw material for making ash rods.

In most cases, ash rods made of young trees are the final product.

Before the old man Zhang died, he left all his skills and ash trees to his grandfather Zhang Dongming, and later almost covered the entire piece of land.

This kind of tree, which was originally of great economic value, encountered a fatal problem.
