Next to the farmland outside Xiyang City, Yu Wenwen is checking the situation of Guantian (Zhitian), this year Guantian took the lead in adopting the rice transplanting method, in order to play an exemplary role, and now the autumn harvest is smooth, these experimental fields have also achieved the original purpose.

In the same field, the rice seeds used up (rice seeds are used to raise seedlings) are less than 20%, and the grain planted is 10% more.

"Envoy, there are more and more people who are willing to learn to raise seedlings and plant seedlings, and next year I am afraid that more than half of the farmers will take the initiative to plant seedlings." One of the officials said with joy that he was in charge of the management of the official land, and now that the harvest has increased, his income has also increased.

"Are you ready to teach the people to raise and plant seedlings?" Yu Wenwen asked, it is natural to increase the income of the rice transplanting method, and how to promote this method as soon as possible and well to increase production and income is an urgent matter.

The official said that under the leadership of Xu Beijia, the state government had organized people with experience in planting rice in the official field, and then under the guidance of Yang Sima, they would raise seedlings separately, and the people would give on-site guidance when planting seedlings.

"When you go to the windmill workshop to make rice, what do you think of the windmill?" Yu Wenwen asked again, his other concern was the hulling of the rice, and the use of the windmill workshop built by himself was crucial.

"Envoy, that windmill is really magical, as long as there is wind, it will keep licking, saving a lot of manpower." The official was also very excited when he talked about the windmill, "Half of the rice harvested in the official field is made from the windmill. ”

It only has to be windy. Yuwen Wen thought so, but he still nodded quietly, there are two windmills outside Xiyang City, he has received a summary of the operation of these two windmills in advance, and now he wants to hear feedback from a third party.

The windmill came in handy, the wind resources outside Xiyang City were OK, the two windmills ran for more than half a year, especially at the critical moment of the autumn harvest, the rice harvested from the farmland near Bahe City was all solved by the windmill to solve the problem of rice, saving a lot of manpower and time.

Of course, because they are all free, Yuwen Wenjian windmill investment money has no penny income, according to this year's rice situation, next year's appropriate charge for rice can be returned two years later.

But he doesn't plan to build a windmill to make rice, because there is a more powerful waterwheel rice, Bazhou is rich in hydraulic resources, the embankment on the south bank of the Santai River is no longer afraid of heavy water in the rainy season, the state government decided to establish a waterwheel workshop along the river, the first to be put into use is the hydraulic rice machine, as well as the hydraulic mill.

Of course, the windmill will be built, the cost of the windmill after the structure is simplified will be reduced a lot, the embankment of the Santai River will be gradually improved, and the water in the large wasteland will be drained, and the windmill pumping water will be used just to ensure that the newly cultivated farmland in the wasteland will not be waterlogged.

"I thought that those heavy rainstorms would make everyone lose their harvest, but we had to organize manpower to repair the ditches and river embankments, and after a year of hard work, we were finally able to put the grain into storage." The officials were half complimenting and half sighing, Yuwen made the monarch stricter, but many measures also benefited the people.

Others also felt the same way: according to previous experience, a poor harvest was inevitable after these heavy rainstorms this year, and it was also a loss to capture a large number of captives for labor in the first half of the year, which did not affect farming and repaired water conservancy facilities before the rainy season.

Wait until next year when the embankment on the north bank of the Santai River is repaired, then everyone will really have a good life." Everyone thought in their hearts that this young Yuwen envoy had really done it.

The two most important tasks of the state are to ensure the settlement of rents and the acceptance of lawsuits to mediate disputes, the former is the main part of the state's revenue, and the latter is essential to maintaining the peace and contentment of the people in the state.

The officials thought that Yuwen Wen was young and easy to fool, but as a result, not only was his heart like a mirror, but his lord Bo Zhengtong was also a clear master, and many family heirlooms that deceived the upper and lower were all ineffective, and these two were like old cats who bluffed everyone into not daring to do that dirty thing.

Yuwen made Jun judge the case like a god, and cleared up the accumulated shortcomings vigorously and resolutely, Sima Yangji was very powerful in rectifying the state soldiers, and Tian Yuansheng and others, who dared to disagree, were finished, and they thought that the officials would not have a good life, but good days also followed.

The family property of Tian Yuansheng and others was confiscated, and the officials thought that Yuwen Envoy was going to eat this time, but as a result, all the fields were given to the poor state soldiers and people, and even the low-level officials with them had a share.

As the saying goes, 'take people with short hands and eat people with soft mouths', the officials are respectful and afraid of Yuwenwen, for example, the curfew in Xiyang City, although the night can no longer be as usual, but the strict implementation of the curfew also makes the thieves a lot more restrained.

People sleep at home at night and are not afraid of being robbed, and they are not afraid of burning down a large number of houses.

The officials have always had a bad reputation, and in the eyes of the people, the officials did all kinds of evil, but how did they know that in the state government, the officials were also the objects of oppression by the officials, just as the generals in the army treated the military households as slaves, and the officials were also regarded as free labor by the bureaucrats.

Shangguan oppressed the Xu officials, and the Xu officials transferred the burden to the people, one link after another, as a result, Yuwenwen quickly cut through the mess as soon as he came up, and those who dared to harm the people would be unlucky, and the Shangguan no longer drove the Xu officials to be slaves and servants for no reason.

Taking official land as an example, cultivating official land to produce rice for officials is the 'duty' responsibility of many low-level officials, miscellaneous servants, and official servants, and they have to hand over more than half of the harvest at the end of the year, so they are no different from tenant farmers.

And if the officials have something at home and lack of manpower, they can also be confidently asked to do it, of course, there is no salary, and they even have to bring their own dry food for two meals when they meet meanness.

This is a rule that has been handed down since the Wei and Jin dynasties, and it is not that there is no history of assassination like Yuwenwen who only uses his own servants, but there are too few.

Bazhou now mainly has captives as coolies, sharing the labor of many people, plus the master Bo Zhengtong keeps a close eye on it, and the grassroots officials have no courage and no need to bury nails.

Walked around the official field, knocked and encouraged a group of officials, miscellaneous servants and official servants who cultivated the fields, Yuwenwen boarded the carriage and left, and he was really relieved, as the so-called food in his hands is not panicked, and the expenses of the mansion are indispensable to his own money.

The title of Xiyang County Duke, the grade is nine lives, 10,000 stones, and 2,000 households in the food yi; The official Bazhou Thorn History, for the Seven Lives of the State Thorn History, the grade is seven lives, and the six thousand stones of Yulu are paid by the output of the official field.

The state of Zhou implemented the double awarding system of military horns and loose officials, and the Yecheng court has awarded Yuwen Wen the military number and the rank of loose officials: the military number is the general of the chariot and cavalry, and the scattered officials are the three divisions of the Yitong and the scattered cavalry permanent attendants, and the grades are all nine lives, and theoretically Yulu should be 10,000 stone each.

But this is useless, Yu Lu looks at the grade and title of the official (ministry official), the loose official is used to indicate the rank of the official and has no real position, and the unemployed official can only rely on the title to eat the food, and there is only a loose official without a title and no title, which shows that this 'official' member is not treated by the above, how to feed a family and find a way by himself.

Yuwenwen's official name is very long, and his full name is "Che Cavalry General, Yitong Sansi, Loose Cavalry Chang Shi, Xiyang County Duke, Bazhou Thorn Shi Yuwen Wen", but the one who can have a good fortune is the Duke of Xiyang County (title) and Bazhou Thorn Shi (official), and the rice that has been sent to the house one after another today is these two grades of Lu rice: 16,000 stones.

This era was not the Song Dynasty, where commerce flourished and coinage circulated everywhere, nor the Ming Dynasty, where silver flowed in large quantities.

The price of rice and cloth is easy to fluctuate, and only the physical object is the hard currency to maintain value, as for the common heroes in martial arts novels to pay for silver, it is impossible in this era.

Even the scope of application of copper coins is different, the hard currency in the north of the Yellow River is basically in kind, the south of the Yellow River, Guanlong and other places are mixed with money and things, and the prosperity of commerce in Shu and the Yangtze River basin is dominated by copper coins, but regardless of the Southern Dynasties and the Northern Dynasties, the government is Lu rice so as not to trigger the 'official mutiny'.

Sixteen thousand stones, it seems like a lot, the number of servants, guards, and workshop craftsmen in Yuwenwen's mansion is more than six hundred, and the average number of men and women is calculated according to one person's monthly ration of one stone and five buckets, and nearly 11,000 stones of grain will be consumed in a year just for food.

It costs money to distribute the monthly money of the servants, daily purchases, and daily maintenance and repair of the mansion, and it also costs money to drum up all kinds of side doors in the workshop, and if the copper money is not enough, it is sold for rice.

The number of servants in his mansion is quite average, and the more sophisticated magnates often have a number of servants in thousands of courtyards, and the most important thing is that he is not corrupt, does not take bribes, does not lend usury, and does not prey on the common people, so that the gray income is equal to nothing.

At the beginning of the year, Tian Yuansheng and others were raided, and the land was distributed to the poor state soldiers and the people, and he made a lot of money by doing business, but a large part of the cost was taken to raise the Tiger Forest Army.

The 5,000 Hulin Army consumed a lot of grain from these 'rice buckets' because they were fed, and the monthly grain consumption was not more than 10,000 stones.

The military salary is not less than 5,000 yuan per month, and it is necessary to buy meat, seasonal vegetables and other non-staple foods, armor, swords, guns, bows and arrows to repair, raise war horses and maintain the barracks, and pay for the bereavement of the fallen soldiers.

Yu Wenwen does not drink the blood of soldiers, nor does he owe military salaries and pensions, these are real expenditures, all of which are solved by his self-raised funds, and only the pillar industry of glass mirror can support it.

Judging from the books, Yuwenwen is profitable, but he can't get rich, don't think about the corrupt life of the wine pond and meat forest, but there is no bad harvest in the official field this year, otherwise not only him, but even the Lu rice of the officials in Bazhou will not be even.

Since escaping from Chang'an two years ago, Yuwenwen's land property has been reduced to zero, and before he took office as the assassin of Bazhou, the Yulu of Xiyang County was transferred by his father, which means that Yuwenwen has been gnawing the old clan for a year.

Now that he has done the history of Bazhou Thorn, there is a regular official field to provide Lu rice, but the official field is not his private land, as a county prince who should be 'poor and extravagant', it is too shabby to have no land in his name.

Of course, there is also a way to guarantee the bottom, if he is ruthless enough, the amount of the official harvest will be increased to eighty, and his rice will rise sharply.

Then he was cursed behind his back that the whole family must die well, Yu Wenwen didn't want to be so unscrupulous, but he wanted to increase the harvest of Guantian and increase his income, so he began to think of ghost ideas again.

"16,000 stones, if you want to increase your income, the area of the field cannot be increased for a while, so you have to make a fuss about the output." Yuwen Wen fell into deep thought. (To be continued.) )
