749 There will be a brave man under the reward
And on the night of the arrival of the reinforcements, good news came from the south, the Micang Road was finally opened, and the envoy sent there by Wei Yan began to cross the Micang Road with the secret letter written by Fu Tong, Liu Ye and Wei Yan to Jin Jue on the same day, and marched towards the new capital.
At this time, Shu County, Ba County, Guanghan County and Jianwei County, except for a few besieged counties, the rest of the places also began spring ploughing.
I have to admit that although Liu Yan and Liu Zhang's father and son are not very capable, they are not weaker than Liu Biao in governing local government affairs. The Sima of the other tribes sent by Jin Jue not only seized a lot of grain and land from the big and small families and wealthy families in the counties and townships, but also took a lot of ploughing cattle and horses.
The Dian horse is short in stature and has relatively little strength, but its endurance is extremely amazing, and it is a good choice for long-distance transportation, but it is a little more difficult to use the Dian horse to plow the field. As early as the period of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, Zhao Guo, the commander of Sosu, had already invented the iron plow, but the iron plow was not only cumbersome, but also needed two bulls to be able to pull it, which was obviously not suitable for Jin Jue's demand for iron plows.
For this reason, at the beginning of the fourth year of Jian'an, Jin Jue had already ordered Yang Pei in advance, asking him to summon all the blacksmiths in the control area, including those apprentices who had not yet been apprenticed, to Yang Pei's management of the two counties.
At the beginning, Jin Jue's move of summoning the blacksmiths of Yizhou in the whole of Yizhou in the big winter caused a great commotion among the Yizhou scholars who had not yet lost their sincerity to Jin Jue and did not hide in Chengdu City, and everyone thought that Jin Jue did this to let these blacksmiths build more siege and other weapons for him to use in war.
Therefore, many of these blacksmiths, instigated by these hidden families, fled their homeland with their families in advance and hid in the mountains.
After learning of this, Jin Jue immediately wrote an order to Yang Pei, all blacksmiths who deliberately took their families to escape from this forced labor were caught by the government, and they were beheaded, and their families were reduced to slaves.
And anyone who makes a report and is able to catch the escaped blacksmith will still be sentenced to summary execution, and his family and family property will be awarded to the first complainant. This is not the end, in this order, Jin Jue also encouraged the people to stop the hunting team, the hunters can specifically capture these blacksmiths who dare to evade the government's servitude, after the capture, in addition to the blacksmith's family will be distributed to the hunters, the government will also give the hunters who participate in the hunt a number of monetary rewards.
As soon as the order was announced, it shook the entire Yizhou, and many people, not only the scholars of Yizhou, but even some of the scribes under Jin Jue, were extremely puzzled and even indignant about Jin Jue's unbelievable but cruel order.
The old Confucian student Qin Mi stepped into the new capital city again for the first time, and after seeing Jin Jue, he accused Jin Jue of being so reckless and cruel to the people.
As a result, after the old man finished scolding, Jin Jue didn't say anything, but just asked his guards to send Qin Mi to Luo County on a fast horse, so that he could see with his own eyes, what was he anxious about so many blacksmiths for?
Along the way, Qin Mi must have been on fire.
However, when the old man came to the city of Yuxian and entered a mansion that Yang Pei had found for the blacksmiths, which was originally the largest family residence in the city, but now it had become a research base, he was completely dumbfounded.
Qin Mi is not a rotten Confucian who is not diligent and does not distinguish between grains and grains, he knows the importance of a good plough for agriculture, especially after Jin Jue took the land of local families and wealthy families in Yizhou into the ownership of the government, and is ready to implement the tuntian system in Yizhou within three years, he understands that if these blacksmiths can really make a new iron plough according to the crude sketch drawn by Jin Jue's kid, it can be described as a thousand merits!
After reading it, the old man Qin Mi didn't say a word, he left Luo County on the same day, and immediately anxious that his students scattered to the townships of Shu County, Guanghan County and Jianwei County, and took the initiative to publicize the reason and purpose for Jin Jue to call the blacksmiths to serve in the conscription.
In fact, Qin Mi's approach has played a relatively small role.
Under Jin Jue's strong orders and heavy rewards, there are very few blacksmiths who dare to escape, and those blacksmiths who have escaped after getting the news, thirty percent of them quickly fled into the nearest county town, and took the initiative to report to the government, but sixty percent of the blacksmiths were very unlucky, they all became the prey of informers and hunters, and only less than one layer of blacksmiths not only fled into the mountains, but also escaped under the wings of those families who also fled into the mountains, temporarily avoiding the end of their lives.
However, Yang Pei only let these people go for the time being, since those families who still refused to lose their sincerity to Jin Jue were doing such a thing, it would not be too late to take care of them when he freed his hands.
In the end, under the heavy reward offered by Jin Jue, the big guys brainstormed and worked together to finally build an iron plough that only needs one ploughing ox or two Dian horses to plough the field.
Although Jin Jue is not too satisfied after reading it, he is not omnipotent after all, and his drawing ability is extremely poor, but his vision is still there, and it can be seen that this newly made iron plough is still much worse than the original picture of the Quyuan plough that he has seen on the computer in later generations, but this kind of new iron plough that greatly reduces animal power, and even, a stout man can pull it alone is still welcomed by the people of Yizhou.
As a result, the first policy of benefiting the people implemented by Jin Jue in Yizhou has actually become a vigorous promotion of Jin's plow.
In order to highlight the prestige of Jin Jue in Yizhou, Yang Pei took it upon himself to name this new type of plough Jin's plow. Because it was forcibly promoted by the government, and now, these magistrates appointed by Jin Jue have taken all the fields in each county into official ownership, and the tenants in the past have become the tuntianke of the government. Moreover, after the people have used this new type of iron plow, the efficiency and results of plowing have been greatly improved, so in Yizhou, the promotion of Jin's plough has been carried out very smoothly.
And because of the sufficient preparation in advance, the number of craftsmen who have been recruited to Yuxian County is very large, and the iron ore is also enough, so in a very short time, Yang Pei took these craftsmen to create tens of thousands of Jin's plows. Therefore, in the area controlled by Jin Jue in Yizhou, except for Ba County in charge of Zhang Ji and Hanzhong County in charge of Du Ji, the remaining three counties have all completed the task of plowing all the land within half a month after the start of spring ploughing.
