10 years of Jian'an, September.

Last winter, Guan Ping led the men and horses of his department as the vanguard, with more than 8,000 men and women from the Ministry of Agriculture as the backup, and Gan Ning as the Chinese army, first conquered Fangling, then seized four counties, and then occupied Shangyong, pacifying three counties and nine counties.

I haven't worked hard for a year.

But in this year, Guan Ping did so much in Fangling. The population increases, the army increases, prosperity increases, and prestige increases.

Guan Ping can do this, naturally because Guan Ping is a traverser, knowing that the people's will is irreversible, and water can carry a boat and overturn a boat.

It can also appoint talented people and rectify the rule of officials.

While engaging in small inventions and generating income, it also enriched the people of Fangling.

But in this era, what Guan Ping did was practical, but it was also a castle in the air, and what really tested Guan Ping was actually the autumn harvest.

Especially after Guan Ping entered Fangling, the autumn harvest in the first year.

The people live on food, and this is especially true in this era of backward productive forces. The local people in Fangling are a little better, last year's bumper harvest was harvested, and every household had grain in stock.

Even if the year is not good, you can barely get by.

The mountain people who came down this year are not in a good situation. Almost every one of their families has no food in stock, and they rely on the food they harvested this autumn to make ends meet.

In addition to the common people, if the autumn harvest is not good this year, the Fangling government will be short of grain, and the government will not be able to send out the rations of the soldiers if there is no food.

The army will be immediately defeated.

Of course, there is also a way to rescue, Xinye storage grain can supply 200,000 troops for three years, Mi's wine also provides a steady stream of wealth, you can also go to Bashu, Hanzhong, Jingzhou, Jiangdong to buy grain.

But in the end, it's all an external force.

Fangling County needs this year's autumn harvest to be a bumper harvest, and after the collection of land tax, it will not only maintain the current strength, morale, and prosperity in the county, but also expand the army by taking advantage of the situation, and expand the number of soldiers to 30,000 or 40,000 people, in preparation for the attack on Hanzhong next year or the year after.

Autumn harvest, autumn harvest, autumn harvest.

God willing, this year is a big autumn harvest.

In the afternoon, Fangling City.

The sky was overcast and the autumn rain was falling. Tick tock, tick tock. Raindrops hit the tiles and fall from the roof like a curtain hole.

This autumn rain has been going on for three days.

But don't worry, the autumn rain won't last long, and it won't delay the autumn harvest.

In the backyard of the Taishou Mansion, Guan Ping stood under the eaves, his right hand was on the pillar, looking up at the sky, but he was a little nervous.

However, it was said that after Guan Ping heard Ma Tan's suggestion, he immediately discussed with his father Guan Yu, and then vigorously implemented Ma Tan's strategy.

Sending troops to the mausoleum, there is no mud and water.

In the first battle of Miliangshan, Guan Ping had no choice but to wear double armor because there was no general in the army, and under the protection of Li Fei and Zhou Xiong, he charged into battle.

It was the first time I was in battle, but I wasn't too nervous.

But at the moment, I was a little nervous.

Because Guan Ping knew who he was going to face at that time, the Shen family brothers, Kuai Qi, and Wang Wei, knowing the opponent, there was no need to be nervous.

But at this moment, the autumn harvest is very important, and the specific harvest of the people depends on the sky.

At this time, Zhang Yuhuanting came, this woman Guan Ping was only more than ten years old when she first saw her, and now she is nearly ten years old, and she is becoming more and more plump and moving.

Zhang Yu was followed by two maids, holding a plate in their hands, on which was a bowl of tofu soup and a little cut cooked meat.

Guan Ping is a person who practices martial arts, and the afternoon is long, so he needs to have extra food.

For a period of time, Fangling had a financial IOU, and Guan Ping ordered to throttle expenses, so that the county guard had green vegetables and tofu every day, and at this moment, with the sale of cloth, the finances improved.

Guan Ping has meat to eat again.

Guan Ping smelled the fragrance of tofu soup and unconsciously felt a little hungry. Then he turned his head and went back to the study and sat down, Zhang Yu bent down and put the plate on the desk, then pinched the chopsticks and handed them to Guan Ping.

It's a very good angle.

Guan Ping raised his eyes and saw the great shore.

However, after a long time with the old husband and wife, Guan Ping's resistance has strengthened a lot, and after taking a look, he withdrew his eyes and concentrated on dealing with cooked meat and tofu soup.

This tofu soup is still delicious.

I really can't get tired of drinking it every day.

Guan Ping drank tofu soup, ate cooked meat, and sacrificed to the Five Organs Temple, only to feel warm all over, and involuntarily felt in the satisfaction after being full of wine and food.

Holding your belly with both hands, your belly is slightly convex. Guan Ping simply straightened his legs and leaned his back against the wall, acting like a lazy man.

Zhang Yu smiled, reached out and took out the handkerchief, wiped Guan Ping's mouth, careful and gentle.

"Zhang Yu, you are also from a farming family, and you have been doing farm work behind your parents since you were a child. What do you think of the weather this year? But the wind and rain are smooth? After being satisfied for a while, Guan Ping returned to the present, raised his eyes and asked Zhang Yudao.

In fact, Guan Ping has asked many people this question. Guan Ping asked people from peasant families among the soldiers, Sun Qian, Cao Xiaoguan in the county guard's mansion, and many people, and the answer was the same.

But Guan Ping still couldn't help but ask.

All things can be leveled without changing their faces, but in front of food, they are short of breath after all.

The autumn harvest is imminent, Guan Taishou, Guan Fangling, Guan Ming Mansion, a little nervous.

"This year's wind and rain are smooth, the sunshine and rainfall are just right, it must be a good year, and the little prince can rest assured." Zhang Yu sat down next to Guan Ping, reached out to hold Guan Ping's hand, and said softly.

Guan Taishou, who is a little nervous, Guan Xiaojunhou, is a little tossing and turning at night, Zhang Yu is a pillow person, naturally clear, women can destroy rigidity and softness, Zhang Yu is a woman like water, and she naturally speaks softly.

Guan Ping's heart was stable and satisfied when he heard this.

However, Guan Ping is a bastard, after peace of mind, he is full of wine and food, Guan Ping laughed strangely, and then threw himself into Zhang Yu's great arms, rubbing hard.

The two maids who followed Zhang Yu to the study immediately blushed and hurriedly retreated.

...........

Guan Taishou is the first time to be in charge of one party, as a parent official, a prince, and this year's autumn harvest is very important, so it is inevitable to be nervous.

But in fact, there are nearly 300,000 adult men and women in Fangling, officials, scholars, and businessmen, and nine out of nine of these 300,000 adult men and women know that this year must be a bumper year.

It is inevitable that every household has a full granary, not only do they not have to worry about food next year, but they can also sell grain, buy more cloth, and make new clothes.

You can also buy a little more meat and live a better life.

The wind and rain are smooth.

Too benevolent, peaceful, no military revolution.

The heavens are helping me, and the officials are helping me.

How can you not live a good life?

Up and down the house, there is a joyful atmosphere that can be seen by the naked eye, and everyone is smiling, immersed in the joy before the autumn harvest.

It must be a great harvest year.

When Guan Ping was the first Taishou, he once went hunting in the mountains and met a group of Zhang's mountain people, and that encounter was the beginning of Guan Ping's recruitment of the black mountain people.

After Guan Ping's persuasion, this group of mountain people finally came down with the ethnic groups in the mountains. The person at the head is Zhang Bang. Later, the Zhang family was formed, and Zhang Bang was the chief.

Zhang Bang's family is a big family, with three sons, many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and an adult population of twenty or thirty.

Zhang Bang is also highly respected, Guan Ping ordered the conscription of conscription, when the road was repaired, Zhang's family also got a quota, Zhang Bang sent his two grandsons out, and later got a salary, Zhang Bang couldn't help but feel too benevolent.

Later, Guan Ping sent people to visit the lonely and widowed old people in the county, widows with children, and elderly people over 70 years old to provide rice and meat. Zhang Bang is more than 70 years old, so he is naturally on the list.

Zhang Bang is highly respected, and there are three sons in the family, many adult grandchildren, and the children and grandchildren are also filial, and they do not need or want the government to provide for them, but Zhang Bang still accepted this monthly rice meat.

Why?

This is the redemption of Zigong.

The so-called Zigong ransom people.

The cause is a law of the Lu State, if the Lu people meet the Lu people who are slaves to foreigners, they can redeem it, and the government will be responsible for the money spent.

This is good governance.

Zigong once encountered such a thing, so he ransomed a slave, but he refused the ransom offered by the government. Zigong's master, Confucius, blamed Zigong.

This law of Lu is good governance. Because of this law, people can redeem the people who are slaves and maids outside the Lu State without any scruples.

But Zigong refused the ransom offered by the government. People will hesitate when they encounter such things in the future, because not all people are morally virtuous, and not all people are rich.

If this Lu man redeemed his native who was a slave in a foreign country and went to the government to receive a ransom, would others laugh at this Lu person?

If you don't go to collect the ransom, you won't be willing to pay.

Over time, this good governance of the Lu country may be abandoned.

This is the redemption of Zigong.

The good governance of the government must be fully supported. Zhang Bangde is highly respected, and he has many filial sons and grandchildren, so he does not need to be supported by the government, and he is not willing to be supported by the government.

But Zhang Bang still accepted the monthly rice meat.

It is precisely because this is good governance that Zhang Bang will not destroy good governance by refusing rice and meat because of his high moral level.

Zhang Bang is a truly respected old man.

Zhang Bang is the mayor, but Zhang's family is so small, and there are not many big things, and if there are things, the people will discuss and solve them. Therefore, Zhang Bang is very idle every day, and passes the time by educating his grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and children in Zhang's family to read and write.

In the past few days, the autumn rain has been raining a lot, the children are at home, and Zhang Bang is rarely idle, so he sits on the edge of the bed and watches the rain.

Zhang Bang is not worried about this autumn rain, because the rain will stop soon, and this year's autumn harvest will not be delayed.

And thinking of his life at the foot of the mountain this year, Zhang Bang was full of emotion. It's too bitter on the mountain, too bitter. That's why he decided to go down the mountain to serve the people and re-enter the household registration.

And it turns out that this decision is really wise.

Too Shou Ming Mansion, the realm of tranquility without military revolution, this year is the wind and rain, after the autumn harvest, the granary will inevitably be full.

It's a much better day than on the mountain.

It's going to be a bumper harvest anyway.

The so-called bumper harvest is to produce at least 200 catties of grain per mu, and this standard is a bumper harvest.

And now it must be a bumper harvest, that is, the difference between more and less grain.

Although Zhang Bang was literate when he was young, he has been dealing with the land every year since he became a hermit, and he believes that his judgment will not be wrong.
