3. Turbidity silt method

.lā

"This method is called turbidity silt field, and it is the most effective way to deal with brine land."

Master Ming Xuan described that in spring and summer, the water rises sharply due to rainfall, and a large amount of soil is washed out from the mountains of the Bao Slope Road through which it flows, like a black dragon, and the silt in these waters is not beneficial to ordinary people, in fact, it is not, this thing can be the most fertile soil, and can kill salt, as long as it is put into the mountain and river weir to the saline ground of Chiyaguan, forming a back-irrigation trend, and when the water recedes, the land can be covered with a thick layer of silt, and the yield will increase greatly.

Although Gao Yue traveled from modern times, this was the first time he had heard of this method, and he also felt ashamed, he used to concentrate on studying, and he could not understand the matter of crops.

At this time, Xie Shanji asked the mage, how did the mage know about this method of leading turbidity and silting fields?

Ming Xuan said that he had entered Heshuofang Town before, and the people there had already understood the method of digging Zhangshui and watering to silt the fields after the wheat harvest was completed, which was quite effective.

Gao Yue couldn't help but sigh, my Tang government only knew how to collect the people's two taxes and Hudou rice, and ask for tributes from all sides, and in terms of innovating agriculture and giving benefits to the people, it was not as good as Wei Bo, Chengde and a few rebellious Fangzhen envoys in Youzhou.

Later, Ming Xuan added that now that the wheat harvest in the entire Xingyuan Mansion is almost over, and immediately after the completion of the shipyard and Tianhan Tower, Tan Yue can collect 2,000 poor households from Xingyuan, Yangzhou, and Lizhou to collect 2,000 poor households of the third class, and mine stones from the mountains to refine lime.

What is lime refining? After the silting is completed, it can be sprinkled on it, which can more effectively turn the brine into fertile land.

"Okay, no problem at all." At this time, Gao Yue, who was standing in the wind and rain in his robe, was overjoyed to find a convenient way to the military camp.

Time is not waiting, now there are still two months left from the time when the emperor asked to send troops, at this stage to mobilize 6,000 white grass troops, first complete the city wall and Tianhan Tower, and then according to the master said, break the mountain and river weir to lead the turbidity and silt field!

Two days later, in the southwest corner of Xingyuan Mansion City, under the guidance of the masters of the Zijiang Academy, the third-class poor households who were chased were busy digging lakes and ponds, building stone weirs, and building boat sheds and suspensions.

On the side, more Zijiang and Baicao soldiers are building the Tianhan Tower.

In the whole Xingyuan Mansion, the poor households of the lower third class were 3,700 people, and Gao Yue registered all of them in the book in order to avoid being injured by forced labor, and then let the county officials and wanderers divide the list and divide it into five times, each of which served for ten days, while the rich households of the upper third class had to pay for the service, and the middle households of the third class had to pay for the rice, so that "the per capita service" could not cost the money in the house.

The poor households in Lizhou and Yangzhou were also mobilized, the former was responsible for carrying the rice and silk sent into the Western Han Dynasty, and the latter was responsible for the transportation of the Yangzhou section of Shangjin Road.

In the sound of gongs and drums, the poor households who were working knew that it was the Fu Yin who had come to inspect when they heard this sound, so they hurriedly stopped their work and welcomed them.

Sure enough, Gao Yue rode a white horse, and Wei Daotian and another lieutenant official walked in front of him, holding two silver-painted long poles, and at this time, the symbol of Xingyuan Shaoyin's identity and power, "two poles, two poles......" The poor households who came to labor whispered.

Of course, what they were even more surprised was that Wei Daotian was covered in pitch black, with huge nostrils, and it was said that he was a Kunlun slave, although he had seen it before, he still found it interesting to see it a few more times.

Next, Gao Yue wore a scarlet shirt, climbed an earthen platform, and immediately said to the poor households who respectfully held their hands:

Immediately after the completion of the construction of the shipyard, you will go to the mountains around Chenggu and Jinniu to smelt lime.

As soon as he said this, the poor households suddenly became noisy.

Obviously, most people don't want to go.

"Silence!" The Youyi county officials around the platform shouted, holding sticks and horizontal knives at their waists, maintaining order.

Later, Gao Yue, who was standing on the earthen platform, understood why this group of ragged people were unwilling to burn lime during the slack time, but he still announced the "employment qualification": "You and others are all poor households in Xingyuan Mansion, so Ben Yin will not make you wait without eviction, and when you build the shipyard, you should know that the treatment is equivalent to that of the White Grass Army, and it is better than the children of the state and county unity - after serving ten days of labor and completing the designated work, each person can get four buckets of rice, in addition to the food from the work, you can also bring one bucket of rice back to Runjia." In addition, the soldiers of the White Grass Army are given clothes twice a year in spring and winter, a total of eight sections of medium silk cloth, which is discounted to 24 yuan, and is evenly distributed to 2 yuan per month, and then evenly distributed to 660 yuan per ten years (10 days). And into the mountain to burn lime, the same is true for the mercenary grid, burning one month is one stone and two buckets of rice, two through money, burning March will give March money, there is no miscellaneous reward during the festival. ”

As soon as he said this, half of the poor households began to be tempted, but the other half still cried.

"Why don't you wait?" At this time, Gao Yue suddenly shouted.

Many of the poor households were so frightened that they bowed down, and some of them were bolder, so they kneeled to the feet of Fu Yin, saying that there was still an industry in the family that needed to be repaired, and there was not so much time to be rich.

Gao Yue laughed, pointed at this group of poor households, and said, "Since you are a third-class poor household, where is there any industry?" Tell Ben Yin, are you waiting for a field, an orchard, a workshop, or a pond? ”

This seriously stimulated the self-esteem of the poor households, and many people began to make a noise with dissatisfaction in their tones.

But Gao Yue was not polite, he continued: "Before you come to serve, the township party elders will say that they will know with Ben Yin, you wait for good wine, good play, good wandering, with these three good, even if you get some money and food in the shipyard, you will soon be sold out!" How can I have extra rations and money to buy winter clothes for my wife and children at home? Once cornered, you have to join the army and eat the court, so how rich the people are, how strong the army is! ”

Well, Gao Yue is too familiar now, when he was camping in Jingyuan, he noticed the bad habits of the soldiers, and this group of poor households also had them.

Then Gao Yue immediately said, after this group of poor households finishes it, the extra bucket of rice, and the extra 660 Wen, ask your family to receive it, and you are not allowed to use it without permission, if it is a single person, you must tell the military government the way to use it.

Now many poor households are even more indignant - although we are poor, although we have no place to stand, but we are also interested and dignified, why should Lord Fu Yin abuse the power of the people and deprive us of our leisure time!

Just when the crowd was in turmoil, Gao Yue, who had already made a plan, pointed at Ming Xuan beside him and said to all the poor households, do you know who this mage is?

"I don't know!"

"He's a puppet monk." Gao Yue pointed to Ming Xuan, who was carrying a large cloth bag, and said, it did contain Ming Xuan's financial equipment, "He once said to Ben Yin that according to his complexion, Ben Yin is the Bodhisattva of the Pure Land Conference!" ”

At this time, not only did the poor households instantly start to coax, but even Ming Xuan was a little embarrassed.
