Chapter 225: Static braking

Zhuge Ke brought 100,000 stone of rice to Jingzhou, and he was naturally a first-class distinguished guest.

However, because it was the old grain of the previous year, this batch of grain was not transported to Nanyang by Hanshui, but was transported to Jiangling through Baqiu, serving as the grain for the Jiangling defenders.

handed over the grain to Li Yan and put it into storage, and it happened that Li Yan had relevant official business to send Li Feng north, and Li Feng and Zhuge Ke went to Xiangyang in Hanshui.

100,000 stone rice has been put into storage, Zhuge Ke all the way to rest assured, until the middle of April in the summer calendar, the winter wheat on both sides of the Han River is continuous, looking at the water surface of the Yangtze River estuary that seems to be flat and boundless.

Along the way, Li Feng wanted Zhuge Ke to explain the military tun and mintun in the Jingcheng area, and the surrounding area of Jingcheng was Guan Yu's fiefdom by default, and the implementation was also the "Three Ke Household Laws" developed by the Maicheng household law.

On average, each household has 50 acres of land, and rotational cultivation is adopted. Rotational tillage refers to the cultivation of only one crop in a year, either in the spring or in the summer, to restore the fertility of the soil.

It is said that it is fallow, and some beans will be planted to help production, and beans do not seem to consume much soil fertility.

If you don't grow beans, weeds will spread in the fallow area, so it is obviously very cost-effective to grow beans and melons, and if you have a good time, people will plant crops without wasting them.

There are small acres of fields, and there is a difference between large acres in Guanzhong. In order to make the data look good, the Later Han Dynasty counted 7.3 million hectares of land in the world, using small mu units.

(The default city mu, that is, 100 small mu is about equal to 36 city mu; The two volume units of large stone and small stone are also converted into 'stone' as a unit of weight for easy understanding. )

In front of Zhuge Ke was a large area of flat fields, rivers and canals, and convenient irrigation.

"Each household shall pay rent two horses of silk and two pounds of silk at the age of one year, or three horses of fine cloth, or five horses of coarse cloth, and two stones per year of grain tax per household. Weak households, widowed households, and female households are halved according to the law, and the tax rate is lighter than before. ”

Li Feng pointed to the busy people in the fields: "Xiahou plans to streamline the tax system, this matter is widely implicated, with Your Majesty's wisdom, Xiahou, Song Gong, and Zhuge Prime Minister Mingrui, it still needs to be slowly advanced." It's hard for me to imagine that Pan Chengming has made all kinds of changes since he went to Jiangdong, won't he be able to achieve it if he doesn't want to do it quickly? ”

Zhuge Ke was a young man with a sharp spirit, and he did not give an inch: "My lord is decisive, and the domestic officials are obedient, and there are not many constraints." ”

"I've long heard that Zhuge Yuanxun is good at arguing, but I don't like to debate, I only talk about one thing."

Li Feng arched his hand towards the north: "Xiahou ruled Maicheng at the beginning, and now there are 18,000 Tuhan people in Maicheng, a total of 70,000 stones of wheat, beans and rice, and more than 52,000 horses of cloth, which is the crown of the counties of Jingxiang and Hunan Prefectures. ”

"Heh, a household has a grain tax of two stones, and Maicheng is no more than 36,000 stones, so how can I get 70,000 stones?"

Zhuge Ke arched his hand and grinned: "In my opinion, under the rule of the Han Dynasty, the cultivation of wealth and strength is actually the same as Cao Wei, how can it be that the people of Jiangdong are solid and have no hunger?" ”

"Say you're good at arguing, but you're really unrelenting."

Li Feng had a better temper, and replied with a smile: "Xiahou and the princess sent someone to make a loom, and the people of Maicheng bought a loom with grain, so they got twice the rated grain. Therefore, the people of Maicheng mostly pay taxes and rents with coarse cloth, and I am escorting 20,000 horses of coarse cloth to Beifu this time. ”

At present, the vast majority of imitation looms can only spin coarse cloth, which is a trade-off made in the pursuit of loom production efficiency.

After this kind of crude loom is laid in place, there will be more technical precision manufacturing of better silk looms and fine cloth looms.

Burlap is suitable for wear-resistant coats, and after dyeing, it is most suitable for making the number of coats that have developed from the current cardigan.

The reason why it is called a number coat is purely because there will be an engraving printing number and military rank negative seal on the back of this kind of cardigan.

Coarse cloth is also suitable for sewing military tents and sacks, and is an important military material for the army.

When Li Feng and Zhuge Ke arrived in Xiangyang, Liu Bei traveled to Zhaoyangyi, and the two went to Danshui again, and transported this batch of last year's taxes, which were only collected this year, to Danyang Township to conquer the Northern Shogunate.

The household rent adjustment tax in Maicheng was collected by Nanjun, and in fact, it was put on the account and transported to Tian Xin; The Jingcheng in Guan Yu's hands is a series of its own, not a formally planned fiefdom, but the output tax is only in the Xiangyang County Shoufu for a turn, and it is actually measured by Guan Yu.

Danyang Township, what does the 600 acres of rape flowers look like in full bloom?

Not to mention Li Feng and Liu Bei, even Liu Bei was shocked when he first came, and I am afraid that only Tian Xin in the world can plant such a large area of rape flowers on the bank of the Danshui River, as if there is no end in sight.

Every morning when the morning fog is filled, the rape fields are like a fairyland, and the beauty is spotless, trouble-free.

Six hundred acres of rape flowers are in full bloom, and the only thing Tian Xin did with his own hands was to raise two boxes of bees.

When Li Feng and Zhuge Ke came, Tian Xin was wearing a seven-layer coarse silk sewn clothes, and a bamboo hat with three layers of yarn hanging on his head, so he slowly took out a honey board covered with a layer of beeswax.

In the distance, Liu Bei also wore a bamboo hat, quietly looking at the corners of his mouth upturned, Guan Ji on his side was wearing a big hat and holding his stomach up, Pang Lin's daughter Pang Feiyan was holding one of her arms on the side, and on the other side were Gao Yang and Zhang Shao's sisters and brothers.

Pang Lin also stood beside Liu Bei, and heard Liu Bei smile and say, "Xiaoxian is full of courage." ”

"Your Majesty, the swarm likes to chase and run people, and often ignore people like Xiahou who have a gentle demeanor."

Pang Lin smiled at the corner of his mouth: "When Xiahou set up a beekeeping wooden box, the ministers all came to watch, and they didn't want to alarm the bee colony. ”

"Xiaoxian said about this, saying that static braking is nothing more than this."

Liu Bei had sparse bees fluttering their wings before he met, and he didn't care, meaning something and said: "For example, Jiangdong is like a bird with a frightened bow, and it is also like a swarm of bees." ”

After that, Liu Bei glanced at Li Feng and Zhuge Ke who were waiting to be seen in the distance, where Zhuge Ke looked around, which made Liu Bei dislike, and said to Pang Lin: "Zhuge Ziyu is a generous person, but he gave birth to a son with high eyebrows and broad eyes, and I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse. ”

Pang Lin also went to see Zhuge Ke and nodded slightly: "The minister seconded the proposal, Zhuge Ziyu was in person, and he didn't dare to act publicly." Hehe, the minister remembered that Xiaoxian once said Zhuge Ziyu, saying that Zhuge Ziyu lowered his eyebrows and was obedient, and when he walked, he only looked at the three steps in front of him, and did not look at everything outside the three steps. ”

"This is also rare, I lack people like this."

Liu Bei said self-deprecating: "Yun Chang, Xiaoxian, and Kong Ming's words of persuasion, I still can't listen to them, let alone talk about others." In other words, Sun Quan can use Zhuge Ziyu, who can others? ”

Zhuge Jin can only look at things within three steps, which is already rare, and Zhuge Jin can't be expected to surprise things, but he will definitely not do things badly.

How many eloquent characters have died in the four words "Hao Gao Yuan", Zhuge Jin does not have this problem, that is the biggest advantage, and it is naturally a disadvantage.

If it sounds good, it is pragmatic and steady, and if it is not good, it lacks ideals.

This kind of person, Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Cao Pi don't like it.

But it can just make up for Sun Quan, if Zhuge Jin is replaced with a strong-tempered one, the Battle of Maicheng may force Sun Quan to take the initiative to participate in the war.

Zhuge Jin is like a nurse, who can go back and forth to wipe Sun Quan's ass without hesitation.

There, Zhuge Ke also saw Liu Bei looking at him under the yellow umbrella, so he calmly sorted out his appearance, striving to leave a good impression.

Liu Bei smiled even more when he saw this, which caused Zhuge Ke to be in high spirits, and Liu Bei smiled even more and said to Pang Lin: "I will go back to the camp for tea, Shiheng will see what Zhuge Ziyu's son wants." ”
