Chapter 235 The Secret of Xiguo's Harvest, the World is Public?

Hearing that the Marquis of Xixing said that the real use of iron tools is to benefit all people, the Son of Heaven and the princes invariably remembered the appearance of the divine beast Dangkang in Xiguo not long ago.

Xixinghou saw that everyone didn't believe it, so he smiled and said: "Ben Hou is Situ, he knows a lot about the land of Zhuxia countries, the land of Xiguo is not fertile, it is hilly and mountainous, and the previous agricultural performance is mediocre, and there is often a food shortage, if it is not for Xidu to have salt wells to produce salt and exchange it for food with neighboring countries, I am afraid that Xiguo will be difficult to sustain!"

As soon as these words came out, whether it was the Son of Heaven Emperor Dusk or other ministers, their faces changed slightly, full of differences.

In their opinion, the divine beast Dangkang can appear in Xi Kingdom, which shows that Xi Kingdom's farming skills have reached the peak of Zhuxia, and the results of such a proud group are definitely not suddenly picked, before this, Xi Kingdom must have experienced countless blood and tears, and continued to accumulate to slowly obtain.

But listening to the words of Xixinghou, the grain harvest of Xiguo was achieved overnight.

The result was beyond anyone's expectations.

Jiang Gong was surprised: "Xixinghou, iron tools are helpful for farming, my father has no doubt at all, but iron tools really have such a great effect, last year Xiguo was short of grain, and this year there will be a bumper harvest?

Not only Jiang Gong, but also the other ministers also looked unconvinced, only the Emperor of Heaven remained silent, as if he had seen through something, unfathomable.

Seeing that everyone couldn't do it, Xixinghou laughed in his heart, held his head high, and pointed to the country: "This is nature, Yao Yun said, with iron farming tools, the soil can be turned deeper, crops grow faster, and compared with the stone tools, it is much easier to reclaim the land with iron tools, and the people can cultivate more land, and the harvest is naturally better!"

Everyone nodded their heads when they heard this, there is indeed some truth, and facts speak louder than words, even the divine beast Dangkang appeared in Xiguo, what else do they have to say.

"I didn't expect the art of iron smelting to be so useful. ”

In fact, bronze can also be done, but copper is "gold" in this era, and the people can't afford to use bronze, which the Son of Heaven and the ministers know in their hearts.

Xixinghou: "Do you know what will happen after the large-scale promotion of iron farming tools, and how Xiguo cultivates?"

Xi Xinghou seemed to be addicted to it, and asked everyone two questions at once.

"Xixinghou, don't you have to ask, Ben Bo is itching, you just say, how does Xiguo cultivate?"

The ministers really couldn't get used to Xixinghou's unfathomable style, and they shouted for him to tell the truth one by one, and some people who were anxious rolled up their sleeves.

Xixinghou coughed dryly, knowing that he had committed public anger, and the Son of Heaven was on the side, so he didn't want to go too far, so he cleared his throat and talked casually:

"Don't worry, Old Man Rong said slowly, hey, you must not have imagined the cultivation method of Xidu, Xiguo neither cooperates in farming, nor does it cooperate in farming!"

Hearing this, the princes looked at each other and couldn't believe it.

In the summer dynasty, there were two types of farming.

One is the co-field, the co-field is the farmer uses the wood to turn the soil, a single wood is operated by one person, and if you want to turn up the clods, you need to cooperate with many people, this way is called co-field farming.

The other is coupling farming, as the old saying goes, "two are coupled", that is, two people each hold one and one work together to cultivate.

Whether it is co-farming or coupling farming, it often requires everyone to work together to carry out large-scale collective labor, so there are sayings such as "Wang Da ordered everyone to say Xietian", "ten thousand couples", "thousands of people" and so on, often slave owners drive thousands or even tens of thousands of slaves to work in the field, even if ordinary people cultivate it is the cooperation of each family, and one family cannot farm at all.

"It's not Xieda, it's not coupling farming, is it that a family can't cultivate alone?" Some ministers couldn't help but laugh, a little bit of a joke.

Xixinghou didn't care about the other party's slightly sarcastic smile at all, but nodded very seriously, and said seriously: "Big brother is so knowledgeable, the people of Xidu do cultivate dozens or even hundreds of acres of land one by one, except for building water conservancy ditches and working together, the rest of the cultivation depends on themselves." ”

Hearing that it was indeed a family farming alone, the ministers were extremely surprised and asked, "What is the difference between farming by a family and farming collectively?"

Xixinghou smiled: "Originally, the old man was also very puzzled, but Xiyunzi's words made me suddenly, collaborative farming, mutual help, neighborhood harmony, it seems to be beautiful, but in fact, the people have no initiative when working collectively, and often slack off, and King Xi divides the land into the name of a family, and the harvest in the field is their own, and they only need to pay rent and taxes every year, so the people have become very active, hardworking, and dare not slack off at all in order to feed themselves. ”

"If it is placed before the birth of ironware, the effect of this kind of farming method is really average, and the people of Xiguo are not doing well, but since there are shovels, iron hoes and other agricultural tools, it is easier for the people of Xidu to farm, and this way of farming one by one shines, and the Xiguo Da Sui is also a matter of pushing the boat!"

"Good family, self-sufficient. When Emperor Twilight of the Son of Heaven heard this, a different color flashed in his eyes, in the past, Emperor Zixuan failed to compete with him for the throne, and the world's evaluation of Yao Xuan was not high, and even some disparagement, but Emperor Twilight knew very well that Yao Xuan was still very talented.

For example, the current new cultivation method, although it did not show its power in his hands, but it shined in the hands of his son, which proved that Yao Xuan was still very discerning, but he was just a little bit lucky.

The rest of the ministers were thrilled one by one, they were princes with a large area of fiefdom, if they could be the same as Xi Guo in their country, would they be far from the country's prosperity and strength?

"When Ben Hou went back, he built iron farming tools, so that a family could cultivate the fields, and see that as Xixinghou said, a family could cultivate independently. ”

Farming is a matter of social welfare, and all the princes of the world are concerned about it, and no one can be calm when they hear that they can increase grain production.

Emperor Twilight of the Son of Heaven can be the co-lord of the world, his vision is naturally far-reaching, and after carefully pondering the cultivation of Xiguo, he quickly saw that there was an abyss hidden behind this seemingly beautiful thing.

The Zhuxia Dynasty implemented the Jingtian system, and the land was owned by the state and the people of the world, while the Xiguo distributed the land to each family, which was a bit "rebellious".

"Xiguo abandoned the Jingtian system and changed to a private field system, which violated the world for the public, if the private world is popular, the country will not be the country, and the sky will be unfair!"

The words of the emperor of the Son of Heaven suddenly poured a basin of cold water on the princes, and suddenly the princes also came to their senses, the cultivation methods of the Xi Kingdom could not be learned, those lands belonged to the state, how could they distribute their fields to those farmers, this is absolutely impossible.

"What the Son of Heaven said is that Xiguo's move is very rebellious, the world is the world of the people of the world, how can he teach others privately?"

"Yes, we can take the essence of it, and take the dross, we use the edge of iron tools to reclaim farmland for us, as for granting private land, there is no need to do it, this move is against the way of the saints, and it cannot be extended!"

"Holy Lord, Xiyunzi has deviated from the scriptures, and he should be quickly reformed and turned to the right. ”

......

For a while, when the lord exploded.
