Chapter 706: Colonel Watermelon

The county commanders and guards are all old people from Beifu, and the Hancheng guards hang the epaulettes of the lieutenants of the middle military academy, and the three gold coin medals of Huya, Dongzheng and Eagle Mountain are hung on their chests, as well as a silver homeland guardian medal.

This is a special batch of medals for the officials of the Beifu who stayed in Nanyang during the decisive battle of Guanzhong, the school level is a silver medal, and the lieutenant level is a bronze medal.

Thanks to the treasure information contributed by Lu Bu's children of the old party, there is now enough copper material to award standard bronze medals to middle and lower-level officials.

The court was ordered to pay 6 million 5 baht coins, and if you count the 5 baht coins for your own internal use, you will have to mint 10 million 5 baht coins within the year...... The medals and the number of minted five-baht coins are really just a drizzle.

Medals can currently solve many problems, such as the fulfillment of military merits...... You can use the medal to 'fold' the military merit first, and when there is a vacancy in the military position, priority will be given to the promotion of all kinds of medal holders.

The times are different, and the things to be done are different, how can there be such a war to fight?

The military needs a process of adaptation, and the medal system can act as a lubricant, both to give the officers and soldiers a sense of honor, but also to promise to ensure their future interests in the form of medals.

Now Tian Xin ate the watermelon that had been chilled by the stream of Yiya Ravine, and asked curiously: "I heard people talk about the 200 acres of melon fields at the beginning of the year, and it was just a joke. I don't think there really is, where do these seeds come from? ”

Jin Fu, the guard general of Hancheng, is a slightly wide body but not fat, purely a very wide body type, sitting in front of Tian Xin, he is very proud: "The minister left melon seeds when he ate melons with his colleagues in Jiangdu. I wanted to be a melon farmer after returning to my hometown, but I didn't want to work in Hancheng, but when I saw that the river beach was deserted, I started to plant melons. ”

"Well, you have perseverance, Guan Long is thriving, and there is a lack of people like you. This year, the seeds of this melon will be distributed everywhere, and I will give you a military rank. ”

Tian Xin said and picked up the small wooden box that had been prepared long ago, and inside was the rank armband, badge and epaulette of the captain of the military academy.

"I am willing to die for the Lord!"

Jin Fu shouted out of shape, tears spurted out, kowtowed to the ground in front of his body, raised his head and bowed, and buckled three times in a row.

"This is what you should do, two hundred acres of melon fields, it is not easy to get together. What's more, it is not easy to take care of the melon field, this is by no means your temporary idea, you should have been prepared in advance. ”

Tian Xin praised Jin Fu warmly, changed the epaulettes for him, and stuffed the wooden box into his hand: "I have been in turmoil in Guanzhong for 30 years, and the men and women of the people no longer know the sweetness of melons and fruits. The melon of Hancheng can relieve the sorrow of the people and should be promoted. ”

Jin Fu was grateful to tears, planting melons is also a skill, which must be learned in his spare time, and when planting melons, he must promote and teach this kind of technology to his subordinates. Save the collected melon seeds and bring them to Guanzhong...... It seems simple, but it's not a simple thing.

For such a long-distance migration, it is very likely that artifacts, relatives and friends will be lost; But he has always been able to keep the melon seeds, which shows how hard he cares.

Whether it's because you like to eat melons, or you want to get rich by growing melons...... Objectively, it has enriched the taste and nutritional intake of Guanzhong people, which is credited.

This year, crops are mainly planted in various places, and there will be enough time to take care of the houses and yards after the autumn harvest; Even Tianxin's Chang'an New City and Ducheng neighborhood construction plans can only get the manpower and material resources for construction.

Only next year, when there is a little surplus of rations in the government treasury and official warehouses and private houses, can they spare time to run orchards and vegetable planting.

So this year, Tian Xin is only planting vegetables in the area of Shanglin Yuan for large-scale breeding, and collecting fruit trees to establish a nursery. With cuttings technology, it is a relatively simple matter to improve and promote some fruit tree varieties, which is nothing more than intentions or not.

There are also chickens, ducks, geese and poultry breeding bases in Shanglin Garden, as well as training and breeding bases related to hunting dogs, which breed and cultivate not only planned cattle and horses, but also these traditional poultry.

Everyone present saw that Jin Fu's melon was promoted, and some people who ate melons and even chewed melon seeds were somewhat remorseful.

They have already divided their homesteads and fields, and they don't have time to work this year, but they will have time to run their own homes and farms next year.

After Jin Fu, it was the turn of the county magistrate to report on his work.

He mainly complained that the local people were skeptical of the promotion of wheat, refused to cooperate with their hearts, and devoted more attention to their own private fields, and did not care about the wheat planted in the public fields of the government.

This year, there is no levy for engineering work in the counties, and the levy will be arranged to work in the nearest public land in the county.

The public land is confiscated from itself, and the fields that exceed the law of acres are all collected by the government and concentrated as public land. Even though Guanzhong was chaotic and abandoned many fields, the fields in the people's homes were always very few, that is, they did not have the strength to open up wasteland or protect the fields.

The confiscated fields mainly came from the big clans, and after being killed by Wu Zhen, the big clans could not keep the excess fields, nor could they keep the slavery of the family.

These confiscated fields form public fields, and then through the exchange with the people, let the public fields together, although distributed in various townships, but can also be centrally managed.

If a new village is set up in the future, the establishment of the village can be completed by allocating public land.

Tian Xin also understands the situation of the county order's complaints, which are common everywhere.

According to the new law of acres of land, each household gets 30 acres of land, which is the largest mu in the Beifu system of acres of land, one-third larger than the large mu in Guanzhong, and even more terrible than the small mu system in the past.

These 30 acres of land are larger than the 100 acres in the past...... Therefore, the people got so much land, and in addition to cultivating corn, they also had to cultivate barren fields and wasteland, so as to facilitate raising livestock and poultry in the future.

Their own fields, their own land, the people are naturally very enthusiastic, eager to make a hole like a rabbit, live directly in the field, so that they can take care of the countryside nearby.

Naturally, the busy people had no extra time, but they had the obligation to serve, so they served in the nearest public field...... Naturally, it has become a time for people to relax and do their work perfunctorily.

There are too many opportunities to be lazy in farm work compared to engineering.

In the face of the complaints and shirks of the county order, Tian Xin was not annoyed, but said: "At the beginning of the year, someone said that they hoped to be exempted from taxes and rents and forced labor this year, so as to facilitate the people to recuperate and farm. Later, I only exempted the tax rent for this year, first, I was worried that Baixin would be indulgent and disgusting, and he would pay attention to private affairs and abolish public affairs; And it was to promote wheat cultivation. ”

"Let the people serve and grow wheat in the public fields, and this wheat cultivation skill will naturally spread among the people. When the mill is built, and the people eat white flour steamed buns, why worry about the people resisting wheat next year? ”

Only winter wheat was planted near Chang'an, and winter wheat was completed...... Beans and corn are cropped twice a year, which consumes a lot of soil resources, so this year is a little more tense to implement two rounds of farming, and then it is necessary to implement fallow.

It is also thanks to the bronze treasure sunk in Kunming Pond, so this year's tax rent has been exempted.

Therefore, officials in various places generally complained very much, complaining that the people did not know how to reciprocate, and only cared about the management of the allocated new fields and new lands; Perfunctory farming.

However, the officials were restricted and were not allowed to disturb the people, otherwise they would have to organize the people in the territory to do a good job of eradicating illiteracy, so that they could study and learn the principles of being a human being.
