Chapter 185. Farmer

Shangshu Ling Xun Yu, that is a big man, usually in Shangshutai, very mysterious, many people in the capital have never even seen each other, let alone been summoned by Shang Shuling, this is a great luck, but it may not be a good thing, the people have long heard that the generals under Sikong, Wenchen, are all fierce and vicious, and they will kill people if they don't agree.

This old man surnamed Zhao felt like a deer was bumping around in his heart, and he was very excited and scared, because he didn't know what was important for an official as Shang Shuling to summon him.

Xun Yu sat at the tea stall on the edge of the city wall and drank tea, dressed in plain clothes, very plain, and did not see the slightest feeling of superiority, perhaps this is the difference between Xun Yu and other onlookers, never discriminating against others because of his high official position.

The tea is very light, there is no taste to drink, Xun Yu sat on the side and felt very bitter, in the process of smashing the bar and smashing the mouth, the guards had already brought the person to him, and he reported closely: "Qi Yu Lingjun, Zhao Lao brought!" ”

Xun Yu smiled, waved his hand and said, "I know, you go down and rest!" ”

After the guards received the order, they slowly retreated!

The old man saw Xun Yu so approachable, to be honest, he was a little unexpected, he hurriedly knelt on the ground, and after thinking about it again and again, he held back a sentence: "Cao Min Zhao Si, I have seen Xun Lingjun!" ”

"Hurry up, don't be nervous, sit down and talk!" Xun Yu pointed to the Hu bed on the side, asked the old man to sit down, and then ordered the shop to serve tea.

Zhao Si's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he asked in a trembling voice, "I don't know what is important for Ling Jun to summon the grass people to come today?" ”

"Did you see the notice posted on the wall?" Xun Yu personally poured tea for the old man, and the notice he said was naturally the notice that the old man had asked another person to read just now.

"The grass people, the grass people have seen it, but that order seems to be a little late for the grass people, the grass people are already close to the age of six, and they can no longer go to the battlefield!" The old man deliberately prevaricated, he didn't want to go to war, there are so many young people in Xuchang City, and he hasn't been reduced to letting an old man go to the battlefield, right?

Xun Yu smiled slightly, looked at Zhao Si's gaze and said, "Haven't you heard of Lian Po sixty, and there is still Yu Yong"? Besides, paying for the court may not be on the battlefield, but also outside the battlefield! ”

"The grass people are afraid, the grass people are afraid, please make your words clear!" Zhao Si saw Xun Yu talking in a fog, he couldn't understand what he was saying at all, thinking that he was threatening himself, he knelt on the ground again and said vaguely.

"Why did you kneel down again? Hurry up, maybe Xun Yu didn't make it clear, I'm here to make amends to you, I heard that there is a big drought this year, but the old man's field has a good harvest, what is the reason? Xun Yu asked with a frown.

This is the reason why he summoned the old man, once the war is fought, the supply of military food is the top priority, as the saying goes, the three armies have not moved, grain and grass first, how to expand the military food, is also part of Xun Yu's work.

When the old man saw Ling Jun ask such a question, he was immediately overjoyed, this is not a difficult thing, but it is not a secret, so he said bluntly: "I am not afraid of Ling Jun's jokes when I say it, if the crops are hungry and thirsty, you can use water to replenish it, but if the land is barren, it will be useless to use water again, the grass people's method is very simple, just break the branches and leaves of the grain and the straw, and then put it back into the soil, this is complementary, the land is fertile, and the harvest is naturally good!" ”

There is no chemical fertilizer in this era, what is missing is indeed fertilizer that makes the land fertile, this method is very old, but it is very effective, the old man today shows very Xun Yu without concealment, which shows that he has no intention of hiding this matter in his heart.

"If it's so simple, why don't those neighbors around your house do what you say, don't they believe you?" Xun Yu asked a strange question, what is the reason why there are still people who don't do such a good thing?

The old man nodded, and said very unpleasantly: "I was right, my old neighbors, no one believes it, they always think that the decisive factor for a good harvest lies in God, but the weather is fickle, how can it be smooth, so we always have to find a way, it is good to adjust the wind and rain, but if you encounter heavy rain or drought, you can also deal with it easily." ”

Feudal ideas kill people!

What Zhao Si said is not unreasonable, not only farming, but everything should have such an awareness, and as an official or scholar, he should also know such a way and reason.

"So you told them about it, but they didn't choose to believe it, did you?" Xun Yu was a little unsure and asked again.

The old man nodded earnestly and said: "It's not, but I don't blame them, after all, everyone's thoughts are different, if someone tells me a good thing out of thin air, I will also ask whether this matter is true or false, is this person harmful to my ambitions, and people's hearts are in danger!" ”

Xun Yu nodded, it turns out that people's self-defense has existed in this era as early as this era, and it is no wonder that in the twenty-first century, it is even more impossible to break through.

"Xun Yu has a request, I wonder if the old gentleman can agree?" Xun Yu still smiled, maintaining his previous kindness, and there was no stranger in his words.

"Lingjun, please speak!" Don't say it's a request, what Ling Jun said is an order, I have long heard of Ling Jun's reputation, and the people are very rich outside of Ling Jun's leadership over the years, and their lives are very good, in other words, if today's Shangshu Ling is not Xun Yu, the people's lives are definitely not as good as they are now!

"I want to invite the old man to participate in the Yuedan evaluation in a few days!"

The old man was shocked!

Since ancient times, those who have participated in the Yuedan evaluation are all virtuous and talented people, and they are all young, and the old man has a bone, where is there such a mind, besides, even if he participates, no one will look down on it, once he falls off the list, it will not be ridiculed by many people, and where should he put his old face when the time comes!

"Lingjun, this... It's not that the little old man is unwilling, it's just that the little old man is shallow and doesn't know anything about poetry and songs, even if I go to participate in the Yuedan review, I am destined to be eliminated, and the little old man still has to be faced, in that case it will be very faceless! Zhao Silao said with a red face.

"Don't worry too much, this year's Yuedan evaluation is different from previous years, because there are many other aspects to join, you can participate, you can not compare poetry and songs, only farming skills, this is your strength, but their shortcomings!"

The old man paused and said, "This... Will it work? ”

Xun Yu nodded and said, "Don't worry, go and sign up now, just say that you are under the order of Shang Shuling!" ”

The old man thought about it again and again, and finally said the word: "Yes!" ”
