Xi Qihe said: "The village of the river valley has all types of fields in these cities under our control. There are less than 1,000 acres of fields on the flat land of this village, and the power of the whole village and the surrounding villages is gathered to turn all the fields on the flat land into high-quality paddy fields. Two water wheels have been added to the area, which will fill the pond every day. ”

"Very good." Bai Hui replied lightly.

Xi Qihe pointed to the hillside over there: "There are terraced fields, and the water in the pond is transported to the top of the slope layer by layer by stepping on a waterwheel, and an old farmer makes a thing, which greatly increases the irrigation capacity." ”

"Check it out."

Coming closer, Bai Hui was taken aback, this is the most primitive drip irrigation technology.

The terraces are layered, and the water from the waterwheel flows into the split bamboo, and then flows down the bamboo to the field, reducing the waste of water in the soil ditch, and pouring the water directly into the field through the bamboo pipe.

"The Battle of Beiqu lasted a month before these changes began. I didn't have time to plant anything else, so I planted all the beans. ”

Bai Hui said: "No matter what you plant, it's a good thing that only the fields are not idle. ”

"That's what I thought too."

It's already mid-May after beating Beiqu, and no matter what you plant, it's the most suitable to plant beans. Xi Qihe said: "If it goes well, you can plant another season of radishes." However, nine out of ten places do not have enough time, or you can grow winter wheat or garlic. ”

Bai Hui stopped: "I said brother-in-law, I don't care about this. ”

Xi Qihe asked, "What is it?" ”

"Three questions. The first is whether the annual income of the farmer has increased. The second question is whether there is only work and no effort, that is, laziness and slippery head. The third question, especially the people of Dingyang County, has raised any objections. ”

After listening to Bai Hui's question, Xi Qihe replied: "The first question is already certain, the whole village collects more grain, and the difference at the moment is how much the government collects. The cities headed by Zuo Ping had already begun to discuss this matter, after all, many farm tools and cattle were provided by the government. ”

"Don't hurt the peasants!" Bai Hui only made such a request,

Xi Qihe continued: "The second problem does exist, but since Shang Jun changed the law, the Qin people have worked hard to cultivate, and in the land of six cities and a half, there are indeed people who do not contribute to work, and there are very few people in Dingyang County, only a dozen people. There are more than half of the five cities in the east of the river. ”

"How to deal with it?"

"After the investigation of the villages, it is true that those who do not contribute to the work will be sent to the coolie battalion for slack cultivation in the Qin law, and they will be specially responsible for digging ditches and repairing roads. I arrange for each person to be whipped ten every day as long as they do not work! Xi Qihe said it very easily, in his eyes this is already a very light punishment.

Bai Hui asked, "What about the third one?" ”

Xi Qihe hesitated for a moment and then said: "Some scholars think that the Shang Jun has abolished the Jingtian system after the law change, and you are doing this to restore the Jingtian system. Farmers are now waiting for a real income at the end of the year. Only then is it conclusive. ”

Bai Hui shook his head, he wasn't sure which one was better.

His thinking was simple, concentrate on big things.

Xi Qihe said: "This change is different from the well field system, but it only changes the private ownership of individuals into village private ownership, and it also encourages farming. I believe that the income of farmers will be higher than before, and it will not be possible to build water or repair roads with the help of any single household. Zuo Ping calculated that if each household in each village is levied 10% more than before, then the total income of each village is higher than the previous 50%. ”

Bai Hui turned his head and asked, "In other words, with the village having a unit, the overall grain output is 1.6 times higher than before. ”

Bai Qihe shook his head: "More than that, you encourage raising chickens, sheep, and dolphins." Zuo Ping calculates a two-fold increase in total returns. In particular, eggs are given priority to young and pregnant women, which is very popular. ”

"There have been many wars, and the old people in each village have won the hearts of the people by supporting them with public **. The Qin people are okay, they are used to cultivating with their hearts. The cities in Hedong are different, and there are many Wei people who are not effective in their work, and they must be strictly disciplined. ”

Bai Hui thought for a while: "The newly occupied territory will follow this rule first, and then we will talk about it in the future." ”

Bai Hui also doesn't have enough confidence, no system is perfect, but for now, Bai Hui still believes that concentrating on doing big things is the best way.

If we don't concentrate our efforts, who will pay for the water truck, who will benefit, etc., will be even more troublesome.

Seeing Bai Hui standing there in a daze, Xi Qi roared: "As a big Qin man, just rush forward and kill." The peasant households have more surplus grain, and the official warehouses have more grain storage, and this is a great achievement. ”

"You are the one who has the credit." Bai Hui glanced back at Xi Qihe, and then walked to the highest part of the terrace and looked down.

Bai Hui didn't know how long he could be in Dingyang County or how long he could be in Hedong.

The rules you have set may change after you leave, but at least you have left behind countless large and small water conservancy facilities, which alone are enough to benefit the people.

On the way back, Bai Hui didn't speak, and after returning to the house, he didn't let anyone disturb him, locked himself in the house and stared at the beams of the house.

It's been a year since Bai Hui crossed over here, and for the first time, Bai Hui asked himself this question.

What is the figure of being alive?

Before the crossing, I wanted to find a good job, and I was safe if I was rich.

But what about now?

Bai Hui was confused, was it just because he was afraid that he would be cut by Qin Lu if he didn't go to the battlefield, or would he be cut on the battlefield?

Thinking of the scene I saw today, the simple people of Daqin, the almost crazy but trusting Daqin officials, it seems that they can do more.

Seem!

Why did Bai Hui say it seems, because he felt like he didn't understand anything.

After going to university, it took me eighteen years just to go to school, and how many things I learned in those eighteen years.

At this time, he hollowed out his head, and Bai Hui found that his head was becoming more and more empty.

But one thing is for sure, Bai Hui secretly resolves.

Bai Qi must no longer be humiliated to death, no matter what he faces, this incident cannot happen. Bai Qi is the god of war in Bai Hui's heart, who graduated from a third-rate university in later generations.

God of War, there shouldn't be an ending like that.

And then it is, Qin can't die second, I'm Daqin!

Bai Hui jumped from the bed to the ground as soon as he stood up, the strength of this body was really powerful, and Bai Hui, who was standing on the ground, shouted: "Someone!" ”

At that moment, two guards pushed the door and rushed in.

Bai Hui pointed at the two: "You go and find me ten excellent weavers." ”

The two guards glanced at each other, and one of them stepped forward: "Zuo Shuchang, it's the third watch now." ”

"Three watches?" Bai Hui walked to the door and glanced at it, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "I'm confused, so let's do it, after noon tomorrow, you will find ten excellent weavers, and then call the blacksmith sent by Korea to come." Also, pick fifty people to defend the brave warriors, that's all. ”

After finishing speaking, Bai Hui went back to the house and fell asleep.

The two guards clasped their fists and saluted and retreated at the same time.
