In addition to the huge painting boat, there are also many Qinghan boats and more than 100 large-wing and small-wing warships led by Red Wood and Ou Tuo. Compared with the previous ones, the thirty-four newly built warships had a simple fence nailed to the edge of their decks, and the feathers on the boats were flying, and the spears were lined up, and when the bears boarded the boat, the armor soldiers all saluted him.

Starting from the Shouying Huaishui Wharf, it is only a few dozen miles upstream of the river that Yingshui and Huaishui intersect, and the fleet turns north. More than 100 warships are obviously divided into two groups because they have rudders and rudders. The rudder made an arc on the water, and without slowing down, it turned the bend of nearly ninety degrees; The rudderless boats had to slow down, and if they did not slow down, they would crash into the left bank of Yingshui.

At this time, Xiong Jing was standing on the deck of the painting boat, and in addition to Dazai Yang Wenjun, General Xiang Yan and others, there were also Wei envoys who welcomed Xiong Jing into the beam on the order of the King of Wei. Seeing that the boat master was divided into two sections because of the turn, Xiong Jing, who was worried about the Wei envoy's discovery, had to take a few steps and turn around. He is the king, he changes direction, and Wei Envoy can only follow the direction, otherwise it will be rude.

When the Wei envoy turned his back to the boat master, Xiong Jing stopped, and he smiled: "I have heard that the king of Wei is virtuous for a long time, and I am not very happy to see it this time." ”

"The widow is also the king of Jiumu." Wei Envoy is an old minister, and Chu speaks very authentically. "Last year, the king broke the Qin master with his age, this lord! The world is looking forward to it, and wants to witness the demeanor of Chu Guozhoushi. ”

There is no greater compliment for a young king than to say that he is an adult. The 'adults' at this time were not the kind of adults of the Qing Dynasty. As the Analects say, a gentleman has three fears: fear of destiny, fear of adults, and fear of saints. Adults are equivalent to characters such as the Son of Heaven, and their status is before that of saints.

The kind and kind Wei made the sycophants really in place, but unfortunately Xiong Jing was not a child or teenager who was eager to be recognized by others, although his actual age was very young, but he himself felt like a little devil in ice and fire, the difference was that he couldn't drink and play with women, and he was growing taller every year.

"Wei has an overreputation. Breaking the Qin Division is the credit of the general, and it is also the credit of the generals of our Chu army. Xiong Jing responded very modestly, and his attitude surprised both Yang Wenjun and Xiang Yan.

"Dunxi is simple, and the valley is clear, and the king is a true saint!" Wei Envoy grew his mouth, followed by another sycophant.

"Don't dare." After Xiong Jing was perfunctory, he ignored him, but took out a Lu Lijing to play with. At the beginning of May, even because of the delay of the war, the millet seedlings planted in March and April were already lush and green. Looking at it, he suddenly found a problem that he hadn't found before: "Why is there no ridge?" He asked curiously.

"Dragons?" The left and right did not understand its meaning, and the Wei envoy, who was laughing and talking with Yang Wenjun, did not know what to do.

"Ridge?" Xiong Jing made a gesture, he wanted someone to summon Xiu Yin, but unfortunately this was already on the boat. "It's a ridge."

"What does the king mean?" Right Shi is well-informed, and he can't understand Xiong Jing's gestures.

"Why aren't there pillow-like ridges in the field?" Xiong Jing finally came up with a suitable analogy. Although there were fields on the march last winter, he did not bother to look closely, and most of the millet rice in the fields had not been harvested. "There are ridges in the field, and the seedlings grow on the ridges, and there are furrows under the ridges."

In later generations, even those who had never planted the land knew that there were ridges and furrows in farming. At the same time that the right history understood, the Wei envoy interjected: "Tell the king, Chu has a lot of land, and it is not cultivated with oxen, but by fire and water, so there is no mu and no land." ”

"No acres, no acres?" In addition to the equipment such as keel waterwheels, the only idea is to introduce cotton, sweet potatoes, corn and other things.

"Yes, yes." The Wei envoy seemed to know a lot about agricultural cultivation. "The high is said to be mu, and the lower is said to be mu, and mu is the ridge that the king said. Farming, abandoning acres in the field, and abandoning the field in the field. Why? When the field is dry, when the mu is abandoned, and when the field is wet, when the land is abandoned. ”

"In this way, how many stone millets can be harvested per mu?" Chu is not like the Three Jin and Qin States, except for the Chu and Wei borders and Lu land, there is basically no need for cattle ploughing, Xiong Jing now wants to know the grain yield under the condition that there are mu and mu after cattle ploughing.

"Wei is a small mu, Ueda is middle-aged or has two stones and seven buckets, Nakata is middle-aged but two stones, and Shimoda is middle-aged only one stone and a half......" Wei replied. The acres of Wei are 100 steps; The state of Chu is a large acre, two hundred and forty steps. Converted into the city mu of later generations, the former is equal to 0.273 city mu, and the latter is equal to 0.656 city mu.

The yield per mu of the upper field is 267 city jin, and the lower field is only 148 city jin. Compared with later generations, it is too disparity, but it is not low compared to modern times. The first to develop is always the best cultivated land, the population has increased dramatically in modern times, and some places that are not suitable for land cultivation have also been cultivated for farming, and the average yield per mu will naturally be pulled down, but compared with the modern rice yield of four or five hundred catties per mu, the yield per mu of more than two hundred catties is not enough to see.

Wei cattle ploughing, acres and planting, on the field is only more than 260 catties; Chu is mostly cultivated by fire, and if there can be two hundred catties in the field, it will be laughed, and the yield per mu of the lowest one is only one hundred catties. The only difference is that not every household in Wei has a hundred acres of land (twenty-seven city acres), and each household in Chu has a minimum of two or three hundred acres, and there are more advantages of mountains, forests, ponds, fishing, shrimp and rabbits, these small beasts can be hunted and killed by the common people, and the big beasts, big turtles, and predators are all owned by the king of Chu, and whoever dares to hunt and kill will cut off his head.

"There is only one crop a year, why can't we grow twice a year?" Xiong Jing subconsciously asked this question, and he was stunned after asking. He remembered a lot of things, such as double cropping rice, and another example

"Millet is planted around March and harvested in September and October, how can it be harvested twice a year?" Wei envoy said.

"Who said you have to grow millet?" Xiong Jing asked strangely. "Isn't it okay to grow wheat?"

"Come?" Wheat has the same sound as lai, which is an exotic crop. "Dare to ask the king, it takes six or seven months to cook?"

"Where's the winter wheat?" In addition to double-cropping rice, Xiongjing also thought of the common grass, wheat and beans in later generations, and the two-year, three-cropping rotation system.

"Winter wheat? If there is winter wheat, it is sown in September and harvested in April or May of the following year. Wei Envoy was puzzled. The corn is not fully ripe in September, and the millet is too late in May, how to triple ripen? ”

"Millet is planted in February and March of the first year, harvested in September, and then immediately planted with wheat, and wheat is harvested in April and May of the following year. In this way, it can be three crops in two years. After Xiong Jing finished speaking, he had another illusion, why don't people do this, is it because people are too stupid?

"In this way, it is indeed possible to grow three crops in two years, but then," Wei Envoy thought carefully and thought that it was also possible to do three crops in two years in time, but he said: "However, wheat and rice are difficult to eat, and the common people do not like to plant wheat and only want to grow millet." ”

"Wheat rice is hard to eat?" Xiong Jing was puzzled, although the wheat he ate was not noodles, it was not unpalatable.

Right Shi hurriedly said: "The king doesn't know, the wheat grains in the palace are abandoned, and the folk eat wheat husks endlessly, and it is difficult to eat." ”

"Ahh Xiong Jing was stunned, he finally understood why there was a saying 'no minced meat'. The environment of the king was completely different from that of the common people, and the wheat rice he ate was not the same thing as the wheat rice eaten by the common people.

"I see." He was stunned and immediately understood what kind of environment he was in, and at the same time understood why the two-year-three cropping system did not appear: this was still the era of eating grained rice, and stone grinding was extremely rare. Without stone grinding, there is naturally no flour, and without flour, there is naturally no noodles and cakes. The dough cake is Hu cake, and the things that start with the Hu character are mostly passed through after the Han Dynasty passed through the Western Regions, and after the Wei and Jin dynasties, the Tang and Song dynasties ate Hu cakes and noodles to become the mainstream.

"And the harvest of corn and wheat is only twenty years, and the people are not as good as it." Wei Envoy thought about it again and found that the time for harvesting and cultivating was too short. Millet can be planted in February, and can be sown in April at the latest, with a minimum of two months of sowing time, and there is no rush at all. If we really do what we do in two years and three crops, we will have to harvest corn and plant wheat in 20 days at most, and most of the peasants will not be able to catch up.

"It's a little bit inferior." Xiong Jing does not deny this, except for poor housing, poor food, and poor clothing, the current peasants do not work hard. Especially in the state of Chu, put a fire in the field in winter, calculate a good time to sow seeds in spring, and if you don't hoe grass or fertilize, you can harvest it in autumn.

Let them plant double-cropping rice and three crops in two years? Think beautifully. Originally, they lived a comfortable life, but they were asked to rush to the farm, like a tired dog like the later generations, and they had to work overtime at night. At night, it is the time for the common people to make people, enough to eat, enough to pay taxes, and what cannot be eaten can only be made or simply rotten, even if the transportation is convenient and can be sold for money, the money from the sale does not know what to buy.

In the Song Dynasty, when more than 400 catties of rice were made per acre of land, the wheat yield in England in the 16th century was less than 10 bushels per acre, which was converted to more than 70 catties per mu, which was outrageously low. In order for peasants to actively grow grain, transportation must be convenient, commodities must be abundant, and it is best to have a few large items, and every household must buy them. There is also a tiled house, every family lives in a building, and the output of cement and steel bars is increasing......

In the subsequent trip, Xiong Jing began to think crankily again. Although he is the king of Chu, he is the most powerless king of the Seven Kingdoms, and the decree of Yingdu is that "everyone has his own life", and whether he implements it or not, and how many counties and towns he implements it are not the same. As for the reason, no one can say why.

The only solution to the problem is to level the counties of the country, and the only solution is the people of the dynasty. The people of the county and the country, that is the reshuffle of the power within the county, how to wash the Ying, I don't care, I can't control it, but the result of such a shuffle can wash out the protagonist of power, whether he is the protagonist's agent or the protagonist himself, it will form the Yingdu Outer Dynasty.

The execution of the things decided by the Yingdu Outer Dynasty is definitely better than that of the Yan Dynasty. If the implementation is not good, that is, the forces on the stage are incompetent, and they want to replace them, and if they continue to implement them badly, it means that there is no strong force in this county or this town, the organization is not enough, or the various forces are not united.

That being the case, Yingdu could have sent someone to take over. You don't have an organization, as soon as the king arrives, the chickens fly and the dogs jump, and there is no pressure on centralization. Of course, there is also a situation: someone covers the sky with one hand and refuses to carry it out against Ying, this is not sending people but sending troops, Xiong Jing believes that the famous king of the division will definitely be able to completely crush those people.

The only worry is that some government decrees can't be passed by the outside of Yingdu, so it doesn't matter, it's better for everyone to die together, anyway, Yingdu is not at the forefront

——Xiong Jing doesn't believe in any democratic system, he doesn't understand what a democratic system is at all! The people of the DPRK are a complete underworld system. The logic is: you fight first in this county, and the winning boss comes to Yingdu to hold a meeting, and everyone nods at the meeting, and if you don't do it, then change the boss, and if it doesn't work, send the younger brother to take over. What the? Dare to resist! MLGB, when I'm a big king is fake, on the king's pawn, on the trebuchet.
