Chapter 11: The bewildered Han Duwei
"My lord doesn't know," Han Hao said confidently: "The reason why there is little grain production is because there is only one-third of the land in Shanyang County, and there is no need to hand it over, so it can feed tens of thousands of people in the jurisdiction."
Two-thirds of the remaining land is grown entirely with vegetables. β
"Vegetables?" Liu Ping was surprised, in this era of chaos, it would be good to be able to eat, and two-thirds of the land under his rule was actually planted with vegetables?
Han Hao nodded and said: "That's right, all the vegetables around my Yanzhou are supplied by our Shanyang County, which is much more important than growing grain, which is to make Lord Jun believe in us." β
At this time, Yanzhou was one of the thirteen states of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and its general territory was equivalent to a province in later generations.
In this era, for the low-level homeless, it is indeed enough to stutter, and there is no need to talk about vegetables.
But there are privileged classes in any era, and for the late Han Dynasty where Liu Ping lived, the biggest privileged class was the gate lord clan group.
It is only because the ruler wants to rule the people that he must rely on the power of officials, and the officials selected must be literate and at least able to read and write official documents.
And in this era, ninety out of ten of those who can read and write are the children of the gate lord clan, and if they are not chosen, there is really no one to choose.
The children of these scholars have been officials from generation to generation, and over time, they have become the helpers and minions of the rulers to rule over the people, and have become a veritable privileged class.
Yanzhou under Cao Cao was no exception, although most of his soldiers were captured Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, but all the officials at all levels under him came from the family of gate lords.
Their gang is no more than ordinary homeless people, and their demand for vegetables has not been reduced compared to the peaceful period, anyway, no matter who governs this place, they are all officials, and they have to rely on them to govern the people.
There is a way to be an iron-clad scholar, and the state pastor of flowing water is like this.
At this time, all the land in Yanzhou was in Cao Cao's hands, and Cao Cao had no choice but to open up two regions in the north and south of the entire jurisdiction to specialize in growing vegetables.
To the south is Shanyang County, under Liu Ping, which is responsible for supplying the southern part of Yanzhou, and to the north is Juancheng, which is managed by Xun Yu Xiahoudun and is responsible for supplying the northern region.
Han Hao said: "So adults understand how important our Shanyang County is, right?" If the vegetables we grow are missing, those officials will make a fuss, and I'm afraid even Cao Yuanjun will have a headache.
Therefore, the burden on Liu's shoulders is not light, and he has to be attentive to his duties. β
Liu Ping nodded and said: "Exactly, so I have been closed recently, and I have written a special agricultural book, which just teaches you how to grow vegetables, and you can just follow the instructions, and there must be no mistakes." β
Han Hao: "......"
Han Hao scolded in his heart, you are from a small house, have you ever seen how the vegetables grow?
He also wrote a book on agriculture to teach me how to grow vegetables?
Although I thought so in my heart, I said, "I don't know what book the adult wrote?" β
"The title of the book is called "Cao Min Yaoshu," Liu Ping pointed to the large pile of bamboo slips on the table and said: "Take them all with you when you leave, go back and study them carefully, and ask me if you don't understand anything." β
Cao Min wants to do it?
Han Hao glanced at the pile on the table, thinking to himself that this is not a sycophant?
The surname of the king is Cao, and the book you wrote is called "Cao Min's Technique"?
I've never seen anyone so brazen.
Han Hao himself is good at farming, and he also has a lot of experience in growing vegetables, how can he be able to read what Liu Ping wrote.
At this time, Cao Ang saw the contempt on Han Hao's face, and couldn't help but slap the table and say angrily: "Do you dare to question my brother's writings?"
He is the general of Tuntian Zhonglang appointed by his father, if you dare not do it, you will disobey the military order, and then this son will ask you. β
Although Cao Ang didn't quite believe that what Liu Ping wrote could guide Han Hao, but after all, it was written by his brother, how could he, as a brother, see his subordinates questioning?
Of course he has to stand up for Liu Ping.
"Don't dare, don't dare, your subordinates will do it." Han Hao saw that even Cao Ang said this, so he could only agree.
What else?
Cao Ang is not bad, the Tuntian soldiers are also soldiers, and the order of the Shangguan is equivalent to the military order, and disobeying the military order is to be killed.
Han Hao reluctantly carried two stacks of books and said goodbye and went out.
At this time, the autumn wind suddenly rose, and the clouds in the sky thickened, and there were signs of rain.
He got into the carriage and put the book aside, on which the four big characters of "Cao Min's Technique" were almost blinding his eyes.
The carriage swayed, and there was nothing to do, and he opened an article casually, which was about growing vegetables, and the whole article was in the vernacular, and the person who wrote the book had no knowledge.
People who have university questions write books, and they are full of them, which makes people feel foggy, and they look very profound.
In this article, if the north wind is bleak after the first day of rain and sunshine, there must be frost that night.
Han Hao couldn't help but shake his head and smiled bitterly, this Lord Liu really dares to say, if it is possible to predict wind and rain, it is possible to predict frost, isn't this nonsense?
I'm afraid that even Zhang Zhenren of Longhu Mountain would not dare to write like this.
It is also written on the back that in case of such weather, dig a pit in the ground, and then pick fresh vegetables in advance, put them in the pit layer by layer, and then put a layer of soil on the top, and leave more than a foot on the top to cover it with soil.
In this way, frost is protected and vegetables taken out in winter are as fresh as they are in summer and autumn.
Han Hao lifted the curtain and looked at the drizzle that had fallen outside, and fell into deep thought.
Now the weather is raining, but there are always sunny times, and it is normal for the temperature to drop suddenly at this time, but it is very similar to what is written in the book, should you do it?
Shanyang County is very close to the Yanzhou Governor's Office, but it will be there in an hour.
At this time, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, the so-called autumn rain and cold, the weather is already very cold.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the Shanyang County Government Office, the scribe greeted him with an umbrella, and Han Hao immediately ordered: "Gather all the manpower and choose an open place to dig a thousand cellars." β
Along the way, he had already figured out that even if this Cao Min's technique was unreliable, it was also the military order of General Tuntian Zhonglang, and with the blessing of the eldest prince Cao, he could not disobey no matter what.
"Now?" The scribe looked up at the raindrops in the sky, wrapped his collar tightly and said, "My lord, the rain is so heavy, why are you digging the cellar now?" β
"This is the order of the Zhonglang General and the eldest prince Cao, you ask me, who do I ask?" Han Hao said angrily, carrying two large stacks of books and slips into the official office and sitting down, the scribe handed over a cup of hot tea.
"However, it rains so heavily that it takes several times more labor to dig the cellar and draw out the rainwater," the scribe hesitated, "Even if our Tuntian soldiers are willing to obey orders and let the displaced people come out to work in the rain, it will arouse the anger of the people." β
There are more than 100 soldiers in Shanyang County, who belong to the military establishment, and do not usually participate in labor, and are mainly responsible for managing and arranging displaced people.
"The homeless people eat rice millet from my Shanyang County, how can they do it if they want to, and if they don't have anything to do, they won't do it? It's really a joke, if anyone doesn't obey, they will be punished by military law. Han Hao put the teacup heavily on the table, and the tea splashed.
Of course, what the scribe said was true, but he didn't dare to disobey his fate, and it was Cao Dagongzi who was standing behind Zhonglang General.
