The one hundred and fifteenth thing is a lot of trouble and annoying
As soon as things started to be done, Lu Renke was very busy.
The production of farm tools does not require Lu Ren to bother much, as long as there are ready-made patterns, and in this regard, do not underestimate the ability of craftsmen in ancient times. But don't forget that what craftsmen made in ancient times may not be able to be imitated by modern people.
Lu Ren's main focus now is on the planning of the Tuntian area and the arrangement of labor.
Puyang is a county-level unit, but it is not a "county of a hundred miles" in the Han Dynasty, and the actual area is nearly two counties. According to 2.4 Hanli = 1 modern kilometer, Puyang has more than 7,000 square kilometers, coupled with Puyang's good water conservancy conditions, suitable for cultivation can abound.
But it doesn't mean that there are so many suitable lands for farming, so Lu Ren can place tuntian sites at will. When he was in Tuntian in the north of Juancheng before, it was a barren place where no one stayed, and Lu Ren could toss as much as he wanted, but now Lu Ren has to consider the original residents in the Puyang area.
Of course, it is not difficult to plan the Tuntian point, and what Lu Ren really cares about is the recruitment of the people of Tuntian. In this regard, Lu Ren had to go to Xia Houdun, because this matter had to be done by a person like Xia Houdun, who held military power and had a strong enforcement ability.
Why? In fact, to put it simply, Lu Ren at this time had two headaches, one was the annexation of the land by the wealthy families in Puyang when the world was in turmoil, and the other was the annexation of the population by these wealthy families. At present, Lu Ren only has the so-called power of government decrees but no military power, and wants to stop these wealthy families who have a certain amount of armed strength and rely on these armed strength to annex land and population, isn't that nonsense? It seems that in the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, because they didn't notice this, there were not a few people who died in the hands of those powerful people when they were exercising government decrees.
Therefore, what Xia Houdun wants to help Lu Ren now is nothing more than two things, one is to use strong military force to deter those heroes who are about to move, so as to ensure that the decree of "borderless land, nationalization" copied by Lu Ren can be implemented smoothly; The second is to establish the prestige of Cao Cao, the official edict of the imperial court, so that the displaced people are more willing to choose to take refuge in the tuntian points under the jurisdiction of the state organs as free people.
In this regard, Lu Ren also repeatedly emphasized the identity of "free people", because according to the situation at that time, once the homeless people became powerful tenants and peasants, they were basically equivalent to selling themselves into slavery, and it was difficult to get ahead again, so the homeless people hoped that they could maintain a relatively free identity unless they had to, which was actually the most fundamental human factor. At this point, Lu Ren, a person who traveled through the later generations, may understand better than anyone at that time, so Lu Ren also made a big fuss in this regard.
What is a Sharecropper? To put it bluntly, it is a long-term worker, and to put it more ruthlessly, it is a slave. Every day at dawn, they are driven to work in the fields by the powerful people, and when the meal is over, the powerful people will prepare food for the tenant farmers to eat, and then let these tenant farmers go home to sleep when it gets dark. The only thing that is different from slaves, or better than slaves, is that Haoqiang will pay some pitiful wages to the tenant farmers, but the tenant farmers who cultivate the land and harvest the things are basically not shared. And in such days, the displaced people are not to the point of last resort, and who wants to be tenant farmers?
This is not the case with the tuntian system, but it is carried out in the form of land rent, which means that if the displaced people want to come to the tuntian, they can share it with the government, and no matter what, some of the things collected in the field can be left as their own property. In contrast, the displaced people are certainly more receptive. But in this way, there will be a conflict of interest between the government and Haoqiang, and this is the main reason why Lu Ren had to ask Xia Houdun to come out to deter, after all, this is to grab land and population with Haoqiang!
For this matter, Xia Houdun has done a lot of work. In fact, Cao Cao has always been "stopping part-time work and suppressing the strong", and when he was young, he was released as an official, which could make the local heroes "flee when they heard the wind", which shows how ruthless Cao Cao was when he did this kind of thing. And Xia Houdun, as one of Cao Cao's closest people, would not be much lighter than Cao Cao to do this.
So soon, quite a lot of homeless people gathered here in Luren. At this time, Lu Ren already had the experience of trying out the tun before, so he organized these recruited tun people in an orderly manner, and it didn't take long to place ten tuntian sites around Puyang. What Lu Ren has to do now is to guide these camps to reclaim all the farmland before the beginning of spring, and at the same time do a good job in the corresponding water conservancy and irrigation work as much as possible.
In terms of crops, after careful consideration, Lu Ren of course did not let Shirley help analyze it, and finally did not arrange to plant all the rice that had been successful before. In this regard, Xia Houdun and Cao Ang were very puzzled and asked Lu Ren, who told them that the cultivation and growth of rice requires sufficient water resources, and although the water resources in Puyang are good, not all of them are suitable for rice planting, and many places are better to plant traditional crops such as millet, wheat, and beans.
Of course, Lu Ren also patted his chest and assured Xia Houdun that even if he planted corn beans, the yield would be much better than before. This is not Lu Ren bragging and saying beautiful things, don't forget that Lu Ren also planted some wheat and millet when he tried to tun before. At that time, Lu Ren's original intention was to convince Han Hao, and the later output was indeed so good that Han Hao couldn't even speak, but he didn't expect it to come in handy at this time.
The other is the original residents of Puyang, but Lu Ren doesn't want to care about it. It's not that I don't want to take care of it, but it's inconvenient to take care of it. Because at this time, after Puyang experienced the Lu Bu Rebellion, most of the original residents were attached to the nearby Haoqiang in order to rely on it, and if Lu Renzhen intervened, I am afraid that it would cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Anyway, when the autumn harvest comes, these people still have to pay the taxes, but they will definitely be deceived by those powerful people. But because of this, why did Lu Ren bother to work hard by himself, but he was taken advantage of by those powerful people? Moreover, Lu Ren believes that as long as the effect of his military and civilian cantonments here comes out, a large number of residents will naturally fall to his side. can make more money and food, who wants to be exploited by those powerful people?
And what will the heroes dare to do at that time...... Hmph, don't think that Cao Cao's army is vegetarian, and the tun people who have already lived a relatively affluent life will not agree. It is not impossible for me to raise my arms here and command the people to extinguish the troublemakers......
————————————————————
The early spring has arrived, and although the winter snow in the fields has not yet melted, the spring sun at noon will already bring a little warmth. And at this moment, in the courtyard of Lu Ren's residence:
"Doesn't the Lord have to deal with government affairs today?"
Lu Ren pillowed his head on Wan'er's lap and said lazily: "I am a human, not a cow." Besides, even if it's a cow, you have to let the cow rest when it's about the same...... The winter snow is beginning to melt, and I have been running around the camps in the past few days, and I am really tired, so I took leave from General Yuan Rang and rested for two or three days first. Anyway, the little things in the spring have been explained, and the people of the tun should understand everything. ”
Wan'er looked at Lu Ren who was pillowing on her lap, her eyes were full of attachment: "The Lord has been running around lately, and he often comes back every other day, but he doesn't want to take Wan'er with him. Sometimes Wan'er stays alone in the courtyard...... "The latter words, Wan'er is a little embarrassed to say it."
Lu Renxin said that this is not as good as the previous trial, at that time, it was such a big place, and the image point was similar to a relatively large village, and it was just a matter of a few steps to go home, and it was no problem to take Wan'er wherever he went. But now it's a bit inconvenient to run around the whole county, and it's a bit inconvenient to take Wan'er.
In fact, this is not a problem, Lu Ren mainly doesn't want Wan'er and Cao Ang to bump into each other. After Wan'er met Cao Ang without makeup that day, Cao Ang did look disappointed and lost. But a few days later, Lu Ren felt that Cao Ang seemed to be energetic again, and he would run to Lu Ren's house from time to time.
Maybe it's because Lu Ren is too careful, because Cao Ang, as Lu Ren's deputy now, does come to Lu Ren many times because he has business, but he has invited Lu Ren to have a drink or something with him a lot of times. Lu Ren wanted to write to Cao Cao or Xun Yu several times, but when he finally picked up the pen, he thought about it but gave up. After all, Cao Ang has always been very well-behaved and has not behaved inappropriately, so it seems a little inappropriate for Lu Ren to write a letter to complain.
So what does Cao Ang think? Cao Ang really likes Wan'er a little, but if you really want to talk about it, Cao Ang is more of an appreciation for Wan'er. Let's put it this way, Cao Ang is very much like Cao Cao in many places, otherwise he would not be regarded by Cao Cao as his favorite successor, which even Cao Pi himself admitted in history.
What did Cao Cao do about choosing the main room? After Cao Cao divorced Mrs. Ding in history, he chose Mrs. Bian, who was born in a humble profession like a singer, to become the main family. And Mrs. Bian will become Cao Cao's main room, in addition to giving birth to Cao Pi and Cao Zhi's two sons for Cao Cao, there is also a very important reason that Mrs. Bian is as frugal and pragmatic as Cao Cao, which makes Cao Cao appreciate Mrs. Bian very much.
Cao Ang inherited Cao Cao's frugal and pragmatic style, so although he was disappointed in Wan'er who was still in plain life at that time, he found that it was very rare for Wan'er to be a frugal and pragmatic girl, so he appreciated Wan'er again. So if you have something to do, it makes sense to want to have more contact and communicate with Wan'er.
But in the same way, Cao Ang also inherited Cao Cao's ambition to achieve great things, so he knew very well who could touch and who should pay attention to keeping his distance. Therefore, Cao Ang just wants to have more contact with a girl like Wan'er, and Cao Ang will not do any more excessive actions. To use an analogy that may be a bit inappropriate, Cao Ang's current situation is a bit like those spare tires in modern society, and the goddess in his heart is of course Wan'er......
(Cao Ang became Wan'er's spare tire...... The joke seems to be a bit big. Ha ha! )
