Chapter 239: Ask Yourself
Although Jia Zixing, the commander of the Cheng army, had left, Tang Cheng was not in a hurry, and actually lived outside the village of Zha Liuguan, and for more than ten days after that, except for resting at night, he spent the rest of the time rolling with these old farmers and carpenters. Bar} specializes in providing mobile e-book e-book downloads
Temporarily put aside the "model field" on that side of the slope, Tang Cheng found another hillside not far from those terraced fields, and during the day he took these old farmers to renovate the terraced fields by hand.
How high is the dam of one side of the terrace, and how deep is the most suitable cushion? The shallow soil is not conducive to the growth of grains, and it is too deep and wastes manpower; How much labor is the best way to renovate one side of the terrace? Fewer people affect the progress, and more people will inevitably work in the ...... All of these are problems, if you put it in a family or two households, it is nothing to have some workers, but Tang Cheng is interested in promoting the terraces in the non-grassland areas of Longmen County, if you add the family members of Tianchengjun, this will involve a population of 40,000 or 50,000 in thousands of households, how big should a family nest be together?
Therefore, Tang Chengcheng thought of the current method, he wanted to formulate a standard, or the basic process of renovating the terraces, how high is the dam of the terraces? How deep is the padding? What is the best size for the reservoir...... These must have a stipulation, after all, the terraces are a new thing, the local people have never done it, with such a guiding opinion, the people can save a lot of exploration effort when they do it, a little bit of saving, nearly 10,000 households accumulate is an astronomical number, there is this saved effort and how many new terraces can be renovated, and each extra acre of terraced fields is a real wealth.
The Tang people naturally don't have too many concepts of standardization, but Tang Cheng, who is a crosser, is different after all, after more than 20 years of fighting in later generations, he always knows that the more things are to be implemented on a large scale, the more important it is, and the higher the degree of standardization, the higher the efficiency. Such as the assembly line operation in the factory in later generations is the best proof, of course, the renovation of terraces such an agricultural thing is naturally not comparable to the assembly line production in the factory, the data allows a relative range of large fluctuations, but there is a standard is better than no standard, rather than let nearly 10,000 households slowly explore, it is better for the county government to do it first, this is not only the responsibility of his county, but also because things like this are the most suitable for the county government to take the lead to do.
And to formulate a good standard as soon as possible, it is necessary to experiment, practice to know the truth, Tang Cheng is convinced of this, he found these old farmers are undoubtedly the best people to do experiments, these people come from all parts of Longmen County, others may not understand, but they are very familiar with the land situation in this county, and they are all experts in the field of crops all their lives, as long as they let them operate and renovate a few terraces by themselves, they are far faster than others to explore the doorway.
Then, after refining and summarizing what they had figured out, the first purposeful agricultural guidance charter in Longmen County and even in the entire history of the Tang Dynasty could be freshly released.
In the final analysis, when Tang Cheng promoted this matter, he still followed a concept that everyone in later generations would know, and professional things should be handled by professionals.
The enthusiasm and enthusiasm of these farmers are needless to say, not to mention the importance that the county respects them, the awe and obsession with the land itself alone is enough to ensure that they devote themselves to this matter with unprecedented enthusiasm, looking at these farmers who usually refuse to say more words in front of people at this time, they are arguing endlessly, and Tang Cheng, who is calling the carpenters to speak on the edge of the terraces, can't help but show a smile.
After laughing, Tang Cheng turned his head and continued the topic just now, "Everyone came together, now that the work is in full swing over there, we can't make no progress here, if the neighbors ask after you go back, everyone will be disgraced." On the other hand, if you can come up with a good way, it is the hero of tens of thousands of people in Longmen, and the county will not hesitate to reward it, in addition, after the matter is completed, the yamen will also set up a monument to engrave the name of your meritorious land", Tang Cheng has lived in the countryside for more than a year after crossing over, and naturally knows what these people think, and at a certain level, the people in the countryside even value face more than the people in the city, so he will start to encourage these people.
Needless to say, the reward is self-evident. Just look at the county order to buy food for them these days, and you know that he is not a good place to talk. How glorious should it be to erect a monument and engrave a name to commemorate merit? That's a place that can be passed down to future generations. When will it be their turn to go from house to house in such a thing as before? A few words from this antidote stirred up the mood of the carpenters. Seeing this, Tang Cheng smiled and continued: "You are all experts in the carpenter industry in this county. Specifically, the county will not intervene much. This county's important land is one. You've got to figure it out. How to use the least amount of material and labor to build the most elevated cylinder truck in the fastest way. As long as you can find this way, it will be a great achievement. The county will agree to any request."
Now in Longmen County, Tang Cheng has also seen the land elevated cylinder car. It can be used though. But it is bulky and labor-intensive. It is not conducive to large-scale promotion. What Tang Cheng wants to do is to use the method of stimulation and encouragement to force these carpenters to work together to propose improvements. Even if we can't make a fundamental change to the existing ground height rotary car. Even a little bit of progress.
Busy with these things during the day. Tang Cheng was not idle at night. After dinner at the end of work. So he gathered the scribes and the peasants and carpenters together in the largest tent. Charcoal is grilled. Rolling wine and chatting on the ground.
There are only two topics to talk about. The first is that these farmers summarize and exchange their farming experience in the past few decades. The whole process of manipulating the fields, sowing seeds, thinning seedlings and harvesting is all-encompassing. Anyone who has any tips and tricks can say it at will.
The second topic is:
"Assessment" of existing farm implements land. What is inconvenient for the existing agricultural equipment: what effect is achieved is stated one by one. Then everyone talked about it. Then the carpenters will focus on the discussion, and then give feedback according to the opinions of these experienced old farmers. This farm tool can be changed. How to change. In this way, it is changed to be suitable and inappropriate; That farm tool can't be changed. It's a good idea for you to mention the ground. But we simply can't do it. And so on and so forth.
Every night this kind of discussion Tang Cheng is just as a topic of proposal and guidance, he does not say too much, the more so the effect the better, in addition to the first night of the discussion atmosphere is a little restrained, slowly farmers and carpenters can also let go, this atmosphere is quite like the "fairy meeting" often said in later generations, the people present and so on have no distinction of humility and humility to speak freely, in such an atmosphere the emotions of the farmers and carpenters are mobilized, want to say what they don't want to say, Even the idea that it would make people laugh after saying it was said was said, and everyone else did it anyway when they were excited.
In the countryside, these farmers and carpenters usually have such an opportunity to communicate with the best in their peers? This time, thanks to the Tang County Order, everyone gathered together, and the experience and ideas accumulated for many years erupted, the inspiration hit the inspiration, the spark stimulated the spark, and every bit of experience they had accumulated for decades, and every idea from decades of practice was excavated and accumulated together bit by bit.
As the host, Tang Cheng listened with a smile and a few summaries except for a few opening remarks and summaries, and gave a glancing glance of appreciation for every word, and occasionally said a few words to stir up the atmosphere or correct the topic between the conversations, ensuring that the direction of the fairy society was correct while making the atmosphere in the tent more enthusiastic.
All in all, whether it is for farmers or carpenters, this is an unprecedented experience in their lives, sharing a tent with the unattainable county lord who used to look up to, and chattering with the leaders of their peers about their best and favorite topics, this feeling, hey, I really have nothing to say.
The only bitter thing about such an immortal society is the scribes brought by Tang Cheng, they have never seen such a scene, that is, they have never heard of it, the dignified county lord actually coexists with these mud legs and craftsmen who operate cheap industries and treats them as guests, and what is even worse is the edict of the county lord, they must make sure that these mud legs and the words of the craftsmen are recorded.
The scribes looked down on these people in their hearts, but they didn't dare to disobey Tang Cheng's edict, as far as the situation in Longmen County was now, as long as the county lord spoke, don't say it, even if he didn't dare to grind, this adult looked at it when he had no official business and was kind and easy to get along with, but once it came to business, it was immediately like a different person.
In short, follow him to do things, as long as you can't do the order and prohibition, this adult will clean up people without the slightest softness, mix? Don't even think about it, now whenever you meet an errand from the county lord, who doesn't listen with two ears at first, lest you miss a sentence and ruin your job.
Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, now the rice in the Yali of Longmen County is not as good as before, but it is a heavy double moon, and it is envious to say it. Not to mention this benefit, it is also glorious in terms of face alone, after the two Qing people, now the city is full of people who are in the yamen who followed Tang Xianzun to eat, and the people mostly want to take a look at it and praise a sentence of "ability".
Who wants to lose such an affordable and face-saving job? If you really lose it, don't say how the neighbors poke the backbone, even the Hun family has to scold a wreck, you can still say that the yamen is too dark if you lose your errand, and an honest person like yourself is bullied and pushes the responsibility on the official, but now this set is not very feasible, and there are fewer and fewer trustworthy people.
In this way, it will be bitter for these scribes, peasants and carpenters, you and I are talking endlessly, and the pen in their hands is shaking like a wind blowing a weak willow, at this time, what font and calligraphy can be taken care of, as long as you can understand the meaning is the biggest royal road, the gods will open down one night, and you can't stop trembling when you put the pen, and you are tired and cramping.
A few scribes who came with him naturally complained in private, saying that this day was really going to kill people, and at this moment, recalling the life of the county government when serving the previous county commanders was a sigh, to talk about the degree of relaxation, this is simply a heaven and an underground, but I am afraid that those days are gone forever.
After complaining and complaining, although several scribes don't say it, but they have the same mind in their hearts, even if they are tired now, but if they really want to live the kind of days before, no one wants to, the pleasure of people when they relax is directly proportional to the previous busyness, in short, it is a sentence that the busier and more tired the fulfillment in the front, the more fun they have when they rest, and the higher the degree of pleasure they feel. Play every day, mix every day, play until the end, and even you are bored in the end, even if you are idle, you can't be happy.
Hey, people are really cheap! After lamenting in his heart, he couldn't say anything, and the scribes who complained and complained fell into a deep sleep, and the next morning they were already in good spirits when they followed the county lord around.
There hasn't been a drop of rain these days, not a single drop of snow has fallen, and according to the conclusions of the farmers who have concentrated on watching the clouds, it is unlikely to snow, at least in the short term.
When more and more acres of winter wheat died in the surrounding area, and when Liuguan Village in Shanyin couldn't stand the whole mu and began to die the crops, the farmers and carpenters who had basically completed Tang Cheng's designated work were confused.
Although they had already received the promise of the county lord as a reward, no matter what the drought turned like, they could receive enough food from the county government to survive the famine, and even an extra salt
And. But in the face of the catastrophe in front of me, which I have never seen once in my life, I still can't relax.
They all grew up in the countryside, and no one knows better than them what such a natural disaster means.
"Isn't this Kong, he's here to see you?" It was almost dusk, and Yang Jiao, who came to see Tang Cheng from the temporary tent area, looked at the back in the distance and sighed: "He hasn't been out of the village for a few days."
After that conversation, although Yang Jiao did not have the title of the chief secretary of Longmen County, it was impossible for him to be formally appointed as a distant criminal minister, and he himself could not look down on this position. But he really assumed the function of the chief bookkeeper in a non-named way.
In the past few days, when Tang Cheng was busy dealing with farmers and carpenters, Yang Jiao was nesting in the temporary camp tent according to the data sent by the county yahu, Tian, and Cang, and Cao Kuaima to draft a request for relief.
In Tang Cheng's own words, this official document must be so solid that the yamen above can't find any fault, and they can't find a place to start if they want to press. There must be specific data on how many people, how many acres of fields, and how many large livestock have been affected, and then calculate the total amount of disaster relief money and grain needed by Longmen, and these data need to stand up to inspection and review.
Although he was once an official to the prince's guest, Yang Jiao had never done such a document, and he had seen a lot of similar documents, although there was also data, but how could he have been so careful? In this way, there will be a lot of trouble, Yang Jiao has been consuming all his attention on these numbers in the past few days, and he immediately came to Tang Cheng after he finally sorted it out, and happened to see Kong's back slowly walking away.
"He just came to see the land, and he didn't talk to anyone", Tang Cheng also looked at Kong's back and turned his head, "How about it, the official document is done?" ”。
"It's done", Yang Jiao patted the official document with more than a dozen pages on his hand with emotion and handed it to Tang Cheng, "According to what you said, every data on this is well documented, and every disaster relief money and grain corresponds to human heads and large animals. It's not a boast, not to mention the state and state government in this official document, even if the household department sends down many old officials, don't think about finding out the slightest problem. ”
After Tang Cheng opened the official document and flipped through it, he said with a smile: "That's good, this matter is sooner rather than later, and tomorrow morning the person will be sent to the state government as soon as possible."
"Hmm", after Yang Fu nodded, he pointed to the farmers who were much more silent than a few days ago: "The disaster relief matter really has to be paid attention to, why will you return to the ya?" ”。
"The things of this trip are almost done, and the following things should be done in the county office, and then they can't stay still, and they will come back tomorrow."
"This drought Xi people have also suffered a lot, how to deal with them during the disaster relief, you have to plan a suitable charter in advance", Yang Jiao's face was a little worried when he talked about this topic, "If it is still the same as before, it will inevitably damage the authority of the county government and your county order that has just been established, if it is too harsh, there is a foundation for the previous chaos in the city, and it is difficult to ensure that the dissatisfied Xi people do not make a big ......."
Hearing this, Tang Cheng didn't say much, and lowered his head to check the official document in his hand.
The atmosphere of the last fairy meeting that night was quite dull, and the shock to them was too great for the acres of drought and dead winter wheat that the farmers inadvertently saw this morning, and they were out of sight and out of mind, even if they didn't see it a few days ago, now that they have witnessed it, their emotions will inevitably be pulled back to the cruel reality.
Although the weather was also dry before, many crops still had a breath of air, and as long as there was this breath, there was hope, but now when the crops on the shady slope began to die in a large-scale drought, it means that they are completely desperate.
Who else could be in such a mood like the previous night? In such an atmosphere, Tang Chengcheng inevitably said more, and what he said the most was two things, both of which were related to water, one time pond, and the other was an elevated waterwheel.
: Don't talk about him, this is not something that a family can do independently; Even if the elevated waterwheel has been improved by the carpenters, the accounting cost is still not something that most households can afford independently, so by extension, Tang Cheng gave the farmers a finger to calculate the account, and the result is that they can clearly engrave the next thing Although the terraces are good, they are different from the farming of their own households in the past, and it must rely on external forces.
After settling the accounts with his fingers, Tang Cheng officially announced the end of this meeting to invite everyone, everyone will go back to settle down tomorrow, and the reward money and salt that the county government should give will arrive later, and there will be a new assignment for everyone at that time.
After the completion of the affairs in Liuguan Village, the peasants and carpenters returned to their hometowns, and Tang Cheng also began to set off for the government after submitting the official document personally handled by Yang Jiao to the state government.
When he was about to cross the horse, Tang Changchang, who turned around and glanced at Liuguan Village again, let out a long breath, the preparations that should be done have been laid, and this time Ya began to push his ideas into the practice stage, and he would not think about it anymore when he thought about the idle days of these few days.
"What will the Dragon Gate look like in a year?" After asking himself in his heart, Tang Cheng, who turned around immediately, knocked his legs, and the strong horse neighed and galloped away.
