The ditch outside the city of Xiyang was in full swing, and the repair and water conservancy project in charge of Xu Shao was officially started, and he was assisted by the officials and people who were familiar with the trend of the mountain and river water system, and the ditch was determined to be rectified.

The old ditch outside Xiyang City is seriously blocked, so dredging is the first thing to do, and secondly, there are many large and small lakes outside the city, and when it rains a lot in summer, the lake overflows and floods everywhere, and it is also a stubborn disease to flood farmland, so it is necessary to connect the lakes and canals to carry out dredging.

During the rainy season, the floodgates are opened to prevent the overflow of lakes from raging, and when it does not rain, the gates are closed to store water for irrigation purposes.

Dredging, dredging, and digging ditches require a large number of young and strong, and the Chen soldiers captured on Chinese New Year's Eve are just in the right place, and the Tian clan, who has not served hard labor in the past, was also recruited by the government to send young strong to participate in the construction of water conservancy.

Tian began to pay rent this year, this time to repair the water conservancy, their farmland has also been included in the planning of the fields around Xiyang City, if the canal can be successfully connected, then Tian is also one of the beneficiaries, so the enthusiasm is also very high.

In addition to the state soldiers who were half of the overseers and half of the laborers, and the officials who arranged various matters, Xu Bei drove the more than 2,000 laborers under his command this time, and the tools distributed were all provided by the government, and the shovels and hoes were all made of iron.

The iron production of Bazhou is small, and these farm tools are all built by the state government to the Huangzhou blacksmith shop, and the expenses are deducted from the family property copied by Tian Yuansheng and other rebels.

Outside the city of Xiyang, the official field is crowded, the people are gathered around the edge of the field to watch the people of the state government demonstrate the Quyuan plow, the main difference between this Quyuan plough and the daily plow is that the plow is not straight, it is curved, and the depth of the plough can be easily adjusted.

In order to better demonstrate the new agricultural implements. At the same time, the state government used ten pairs of curved plows in ten fields to demonstrate at the same time. According to the regulations, interested people can go to the field to try the new plough invented by Sima Yangji of the prefecture.

The people were illiterate and couldn't understand the complicated explanations, but the fields were ripe and could not be more ripe. After the demonstration of the yamen, and then walk a few laps with the plough by hand, the benefits of this curved plough are really in the eyes.

"Oh, what a plow! Why didn't I think of changing the straight yuan to the curved yuan! ”

"You can't read and write, but you can compare to Yang Sima's ability?"

Xiyang City has never been so lively, the people look at this new farm tool that is closely related to their own lives are discussed, the state government has issued an announcement, this Quyuan plough to be promoted in Bazhou, not only so even the Huangzhou Governor's Mansion, Anzhou Governor's Mansion, Xiangzhou Governor's Mansion to promote.

The state government ordered people to build a lot of new curved ploughs, and those who can't afford to buy can rent them, and if they have plows at home, they can ask the state government to help renovate. Of course, if you have more money, you can buy it directly, and everyone has a high degree of acceptance of this Quyuan plow.

But for the next demonstration of rice planting and seedlings, people are a little difficult to accept, everyone has been planting for generations, and now the state government says that planting seedlings can increase production, which is simply unreasonable!

You have to raise seedlings in the seedling field first, and then pull them out and then plant them in the field, so bending down to plant seedlings is affordable, although it is not so hard to sit on the same boat, what kind of 'seedling horse' is similar to a boat, but is it necessary to toss like this?

The state government did not force everyone to accept the rice planting method, but only for demonstration, and the officials also explained that this rice planting method was now carried out in the official fields first, and whether it was good or bad would be known when the autumn harvest came.

When I heard that it was not a forced promotion, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and people felt that farming should be done according to the rules handed down by their ancestors, and if this rice planting method did not work, and the harvest would be bad in autumn, the family would really have to drink the northwest wind.

Yuwen Envoy Jun will definitely not trick people, but this kind of field still has to be handed down by the ancestors, right? Raising seedlings, pulling seedlings, planting seedlings, you can go home and toss your mother-in-law after sowing the seeds, why do you spend so much energy!

The news is one after another, and the new news is a little special: the government is beginning to consume snails!

Yuwen envoy Jun found it in a fragment of an ancient book, which recorded that the Gu worms that caused people and livestock to swell and sick were nested with snails in water. Therefore, the state government has announced that it will check the farmland, lakes, nearby ditches, and ponds to eliminate snails.

This is the first time everyone has heard this statement, and no one thought that the commonly visible snail is actually the nest of Gu worms that cause bulging disease. Although the statement is a bit sensational, since Yuwen Envoy Jun said so, it can't be wrong.

The state government issued a notice saying that the waters with snails may not be infected water, but where there is infected water, there must be snails in the water, and everyone should pay attention not to get into the water when dealing with the snails, otherwise they will bear the consequences.

If there are people who find snails in the waters, they must avoid them, otherwise they will bear the consequences, and if anyone dares to throw snails in fertile fields, ponds, lakes, and ditches, they will not be punished lightly.

At the beginning of the new year, a series of actions by Bazhou Thorn Shi Yuwenwen have increased the enthusiasm of the people a lot, looking at the canals being built, looking at the newly improved farm tools, everyone is full of expectations for this year's harvest......

The expectation is beautiful, the reality is cruel, don't drive Xu Shao is worried now.

He is responsible for repairing water conservancy, but as he understands the boundary water system of Xiyang County, Bazhou, the more he is worried, in addition to the Yangtze River, there is also a river in Xiyang County, called Santai River, which starts from the border city in the north of Xiyang, and goes all the way to the south in the north of Xiyang City, turning east into Ba Shui, with a total length of nearly 50 miles.

Every summer and autumn rainy season, the Yangtze River sends a big flood, these three rivers will also rise, at this time the farmland on both sides of the river will suffer, turn into a vast ocean, even if the water recedes, many low-lying places are not well drained, has been soaked, over time it becomes a wasteland, and then planting things can not grow.

He is now commanding nearly 2,000 young people, and it is only dredging, but if you want to control this Santai River, it is a drop in the bucket, he asked the officials and staff carefully, if you want to effectively cure the Santai River, you have to have tens of thousands of people go into battle and be busy for several months, otherwise in the summer, pray not to send a big flood, otherwise it will be over.

"This is still secondary, the most important thing is that the downstream area is full of snails, and the reeds are densely packed with all of them!" Hao Wubo said that according to the people's reports, he gathered several hard-hit areas of snails and found that they were all concentrated in the low-lying areas of the lower reaches of the Santai River.

"Heizong, the envoy said that the Gu worm lodged in the snail shell, and I looked at the dense snail in the water on the shore and got goosebumps all over my body, do you know, the people said that those places are Guanyin Valley."

"What do you mean by that?" Xu Shao asked.

"Send the child Guanyin! As soon as you enter the Guanyin Valley, both men and women are happy, the women are pregnant with October, and the men are pregnant to the end! ”

Xu Shao listened to a chill, if you are hit by Gu worms, you will get swollen disease, and its symptoms are that everyone has a big belly and slender hands and feet, and it is appropriate and disgusting to describe it as 'happy'.

"What, is Heizong afraid?"

"Afraid? What is there to be afraid of! ”

Xu Shao and Hao Wubo are both at the age of blood and strength, and the difficulties that they may face in controlling water and snails Yu Wenwen has already greeted in advance, and now that the cruel reality is in front of them, the two of them are not only retreating from the difficulties, but are full of fighting spirit.

What is the difference between reading a subset of scriptures and history but not being able to ensure that the people of a state live and work in peace and contentment, and the clear stream of rhetoric! ……

An Lu, the Anzhou Governor's Mansion, and the big and small Yuwen envoys were talking in the courtyard.

"Erlang, what's going on with you in Bazhou? The story of the one-legged bronze man has spread to Xiangzhou! Dayuwen made Jun Yuwen say helplessly, his younger brother really did something big in Bazhou as expected.

First came up with the name of 'judging cases like a god', of course, this is a good thing, but the next progress is really not what his brother expected: the Bazhou land snake rebelled and colluded inside and outside on Chinese New Year's Eve, and not only the powerful outside the city but also the Chen army on the other side of the river were recruited.

Could this unconscious brother really be a 'plague' god and a troublemaker?

"Brother, I can't stand idly by when people are looking for death, right? As a parent, why do you have to send a ride to add a fire, don't you? Xiao Yuwen made Jun Yuwen spread his hands and said, "If they want to die, I will let them die the whole family!" ”

Huang Yuansheng and Lu Xiuping's masterminds are all "Zhanjia shovels", and Yu Wenwen can be described as 'goodwill between the government and the people' to the Haoqiang Tian family who took refuge, but for Tian Yuansheng and Lu Xiuping who resisted, they were spicy and destroyed one by one, and dragged the relevant people to the execution ground to behead them.

He wants to let the powerful head snakes in the states of Jiangbei see what the fate of going against the Yuwen evil wolf is, if he doesn't listen to reason, if he has to die, then use a knife to speak!

"You, you, you! If you don't take the right road, you have to come to Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan! Yu Wenming saw that there was no one around, and began to train his younger brother again, "Use your own mansion as bait, aren't you afraid of the gutter capsizing!" ”

"What if your son is frightened! How to be a father!! "How can I live in the bloody mess of a good mansion!!"

Yuwen Wen smiled and said that the matter is urgent, how to catch the big fish in Jiangnan, and now the dead Chen soldiers let Jiangnan come to take the corpse alive and send it to open up the wasteland and dig canals as coolies, and the few people in Bazhou are barely enough for thirty percent of Xiangzhou, and he is trying to find a way to 'open up sources and reduce expenditure'.

"If you want to kill Chen Shuling, you can kill it, is it interesting to fight the top of Xiyang? And what's going on with that one-legged bronze man!! "Yu Wenming hates that iron is not made of steel," what do you think of others by messing around like this? ”

The good killing rebellion made it a farce for the younger brother to get out of the way, and the state officials and clans would have a much lower evaluation of him when they heard it, yes, a lot lower.

Yu Wenming somehow breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, his capable brother's reputation deteriorated, but he, who was an elder brother, had a sense of relief that he shouldn't have, which made him feel very awkward.

Yu Wenwen naturally didn't know what his brother was thinking, he was just concerned about what his father was going to do when he recruited his brothers back to Anlu, so he asked, "Brother, do you know what is important for my father to bring us back this time?" (To be continued.) )
