Chapter 418 Shocking Xinfeng (2)

With the support of his disciples, the old man walked down the gallop road and came to the field, observing the world in front of him more closely.

It's just that......

The disciples had very good noses, and they smelled the air with a slight sniff, as if there was a strange smell.

It tastes a little like the thatched pit of a farmer's house in the countryside......

I followed the smell and looked for it, and soon everyone noticed it, and it seemed that the strange smell came from a field not far away.

It's not a big smell, but it's very unpleasant.

On the contrary, the elderly, because they are too old, their sense of smell and taste have deteriorated, so they don't smell at all.

"Teacher, there seems to be filth in this place...... You'd better not go, right? The coachman, who had been holding the old man, whispered.

"Where's the filth?!" The old man glared at him and said: "In the Spring and Autumn Period, he does not write in the valley, as for the wheat He is not ripe, he will write it, and all the fields of wheat and wheat are the expectations of the saints!" ”

He looked not far ahead, an old farmer who was resting on the edge of the ridge, and walked over with a smile.

"Big brother, it's polite...... the old man bowed slightly, and bowed his hand to salute.

The old farmer was taken aback, and hurriedly got up and saluted back: "Don't dare, don't dare!" ”

Then he asked, "Where did the honored guest come from?" ”

"Chang'an ......" The old man smiled slightly, took the old farmer's hand without paying attention to it, and asked, "Big brother, the little old man wants to ask you a few questions......

When the old farmer heard this, he looked at the old man in front of him who was older than himself, dressed in purple, and had so many followers, and was immediately a little flattered, and said: "Don't dare to be invited by the honored guest, just say it if the honored guest has something......

The old man smiled softly, took the old farmer's hand, and sat down on the ridge, not caring at all that the soil on the ridge might stain his clothes.

"This Xinfeng County is now planting wheat?" The old man asked softly.

"Yes...... the old farmer looked at the land in front of him, stroked his beard a little proudly, and said: "Since the Holy Son of Heaven Jia'en, the eldest grandson led me to Xinfeng, and ordered Zhang Shizhong to be the Xinfeng order, the people of Xinfeng can be regarded as saved!" ”

"It's exempt from my field tax again, and it's a special edict without export, it's really the son of the Holy Tomorrow, after Taizong!" Saying that, the old peasant bowed to the direction of Chang'an and the direction of Baling.

For the people of Guanzhong, the longing and nostalgia for Emperor Taizong have never diminished for decades.

In the hearts of most peasants, the late Han Tianzi was almost no different from the Holy King.

To a certain extent, the reason why Liu's rule is stable is that Taizong's legacy accounts for a large part.

"Now, Zhang Shizhong has taught us farmers and all kinds of farming skills, and also sent officials to guide us on how to fertilize, how to sow seeds, how to cultivate, and even made all kinds of farm tools to teach me and so on!" As the old farmer spoke, he laughed: "I even asked the officials to make an agreement with me to ensure that in the summer and April of next year, the wheat harvest will not be less than four stones per mu!" ”

"Four stones?" The old man listened, his eyebrows jumping.

It is true that the yield of wheat is higher than that of corn, but ......

Four stones per mu, this is really too exaggerated, right?

"Not really!" The old peasant was also a little unconvinced: "In the township pavilion, many people are talking about this matter, and many people don't believe it, but the gentry and officials in the township all say, 'The government has always been the same, and the law is with the people, and there is no possibility of regretting the promise'."

The old man listened and nodded secretly.

In the eyes of the older generation of scholars like him, the Han family had countless shortcomings.

But there is one thing that no one can deny - the country's commitment to the people has always been counted.

Emperor Gao and the Guanzhong Father and Elder Covenant three chapters, so far it is an iron law.

Taizong and the first emperor, in addition to corporal punishment and slander, even ordered the field tax to be thirty taxes and one.

Even if today's poor people go to engage in suing and playing with verbal endowments, they are unwilling to raise the land tax.

Since the government promised to make an agreement with the people, then as long as the parties are still there, this agreement must count.

I listened to the old farmer say: "I heard the gentry say so, and the new townspeople, Xiangyou and others also came to the township pavilion every day to preach the benefits of planting wheat, and assured me that I could still grow millet every year, and the soil strength would not be lost...... I agreed! ”

"It can make the earth ???? without losing its power" The old man was dumbfounded when he heard this, and the disciples who followed him on the left were even more incredible.

As the Jingshi faction in the Ram School, there are many grassroots officials in their department.

Now the Han family is recognized as a follower in the world, and Zhang Kuan, the Taishou of Shu County, once listened to the lectures under the old man.

Among the disciples of the old man's disciples, there were as many as thirty or forty local magistrates of the two thousand stone local county guards and thousand stone local magistrates.

Therefore, they all know very well that the biggest problem in the current Han agriculture is the problem of insufficient land resources.

Fortunately, Guanzhong only needs to be fallow every three years.

But in the north, it is a two-year fallow.

In this way, the land will be restored and revitalized.

If you don't fallow, then ...... The crops planted may fail or even be lost, and may even change the land from the upper field to the lower field, or even saline-alkali land.

In some barren areas, it takes three to five years for the land to recover, even as soon as it is fallow.

Because of this, in fact, there are millions of acres of land in the Han family every year, and there are most sunflower vegetables and soybeans on these lands.

In other words, if the new harvest fruit can make the earth not lose.

This is probably comparable to the river out of the map, Luo out of the book, the phoenix bird to the court, is the best auspicious, but also the Han family is ordained.

The old man felt that his heart seemed to be a little unbearable, he took a deep breath and asked, "Big brother, what did this Xinfeng County say?" How do they ensure that the power of the land is not lost? ”

"I heard from the township farmer officer, it seems to be used in three ways, one of them said: deep ploughing, with the 'Quyuan plow' made by the servant of the middle of the field, so that the land is released, the second is called 'substitute field', in the field to do Zhen ridge, this year to the ridge for the field, next year to Zhen for the field, so that you can achieve the power of fallow, as for the third, then to fertilizer and water, so that the field fattens......" The old farmer replied with a smile: "The old man I don't understand any big truth, but what the agricultural officials said seems to be really reasonable, and the various instruments made by the servant are really powerful, It should be true! ”

The old man listened, his eyes stunned.

Servant in the Prince?

It seems to be which Zhang Yi and Zhang Zi are re-Zhang Chiyou.

Since entering Chang'an, he has always heard what this person has done.

The people who hate him are as many as the stars, but the people who like him are just as many as the stars.

Dong Yue seems to want to take him as a disciple of his ancestor Dong Zi and accept apprentices on behalf of his father......

He also read the "Twenty-Eight Righteousness" he left in Taixue, and it is indeed an unprecedented masterpiece that clearly states the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period, even if he reads it himself, he feels that he has benefited a lot.

At this moment, on the ridge of the field, a peasant woman walked up, carrying a basket and several children behind her.

shouted from afar: "Father, father, it's time to eat, today I made a piece of cake for my father and husband......"
