Changsun Sheng went to contact Meiji Zhang Xiu to meet the time and place, and Zhu Wu was busy sending additional people to investigate the situation of the Mobei Royal Court, and everyone was busy performing their duties. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the third day, except for Wang Ling, who was far away in Tianjing Pass, he had not yet arrived, Xie Jin, Kou Zhun, and Wen Hui had all arrived in Jinyang, and the basic team members of the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion had gathered for the first time.

Knowing that the three of them were about to arrive in Jinyang, Zhang Quan led the crowd out of the city to greet them, without them, there would be no Zhang Quan's repeated military operations for a year, these people are the behind-the-scenes heroes behind Zhang Quan's scenery.

"Da Shen (Xie Jin), (Ping Zhong) Kou Zhun, (Manji) Wen Hui, thousands of miles away, let you and others suffer!"

Seeing the three of them turning over and dismounting not far away, Zhang Quan hurried to catch up, and his concern was self-evident, it was their silent support that made Zhang Quan who he is today.

Everyone greeted for a while, and the three of them slowly walked towards the state pastor's mansion under the welcome of everyone, along the way Zhang Quan continued to praise the merits of the three, and his heart was also very grateful, his words were sincere, and the three of them were excited, and secretly thought that they must do their best after going back, and never live up to the hopes of the lord.

And the state, also known as the "three Jin", "east by Taihang Mountain, west and south by Luliang Mountain, the Yellow River, north by the Great Wall, and Youzhou, Jizhou, Yanzhou, Sili, Liangzhou as the boundary," Liu Zongyuan called "the mountains and rivers in the table".

Not to mention how Zhang Quan ceremoniously entertained the three of them, Zhang Quan's mind was no longer on exquisite delicacies, and now he just wanted to let these political cattle people think of a way to manage their one-acre and three-point field as soon as possible.

"The gentry, Pingzhong, Manji, and the state can have today, and so on, but the state is barren, the people were slaughtered by the Huns, and the land of the state is full of devastation, with Zhang Yan far away from Youzhou, there are hundreds of thousands of people in the tiger city who are waiting to be fed in the Taihang Mountains, you can wait like a way, one must properly settle the Taihang Mountains, and the other is to let the development of the state go to a new level, when the road is not left behind, the night is not closed, everyone has clothes to wear, everyone has a field to cultivate." Zhang Quan put down the dishes and chopsticks, gently wiped the oil stains from the corners of his mouth, and smiled all over his face, revealing eagerness in his words.

"My lord, how much is the total seizure in Jizhou? Hundreds of thousands of new people have been added to the state, but they all need to be relieved from the last trip to Jizhou, and the grain and grass of the party last year and the income from the capture of Taiyuan this spring were spent on the military operations of the lord in the past six months, and there is no surplus grain for the people of Taihang Mountain. Although Xie Jin has served as the magistrate of Dingxiang County for half a year, before that, all political affairs in Shangdang and Taiyuan were operated by him, which is very clear. As for the newly acquired Yanmen County, Dingxiang County, and Xihe County, it is less than half a year, and the population is quite sparse, so the grain and grass obtained are not worth mentioning.

"How much grain was seized in Jizhou, I was in a hurry to return to Jinyang, and I didn't have time to count it in detail, so the gentry sent people over as soon as possible, and all of it was transported back to the warehouse for counting." Zhang Quan explained.

The robbery in Jizhou was all in charge of Mulan, and only a rough inventory was made, but Mulan didn't know how it was, and Zhang Quan didn't know.

And the people who came down from Taihang Mountain are really in urgent need of relief, at least they have to have a food for life, so that they can support it, and only then can they have the next series of actions.

Xie Jin continued: "Bingzhou was taken down by me, and the people of Taihang Mountain were also invited down by us, but I am still struggling to merge with the state, and there is a lot to be done, just how to appease the people of Taihang Mountain, so that they have the confidence to persevere through the current difficulties, so that they will not take risks again, and fall into the grass, this is a big problem, and it is far from enough to rely on the power of the state." ”

"Now that the imperial court is controlled by thieves, the smoke is piling up everywhere, and the roads are blocked, counting on Dong Zhuo and the princes from all walks of life is tantamount to a fool's dream. Zhang Quandao.

Wen Hui frowned secretly, the court, the princes, can you still count on these people now? But anyone who has a little ambition is planning to rise up, and can they help for no reason?

"The lord is extremely worried, relying on the state itself, it is indeed difficult to make all the Taihang Mountain people eat and dress warmly, in order to avoid them taking risks again, in addition to tax reductions and exemptions, the most important thing at the moment is to solve the food problem, I mean to vigorously promote the cultivation of beams, millet and rice, Liang and millet have strong adaptability, the slopes of the hills, the front and back of the house may be planted, the growth cycle is short, the yield is high, and the harvest can top half a year's grain, as long as a large number of planting, the people of Taihang Mountain will soon be able to solve the problem of hunger, and the big river in Xihe County crosses, The water source is abundant, the land is fertile, and the cultivation can be introduced, Jingzhou, Yangzhou, and high-yield rice in the area. ”

"Rice?" Remember that the temperature required for rice is relatively high, and most of the rice is planted in the south, and Bingzhou is located north of the Yellow River, even if it is supported by the Yellow River, but the weather and other factors do not meet the requirements.

Zhang Quan smiled bitterly: "This rice is not suitable for cultivation in Bingzhou, right?" ”

Xie Jin was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "Why can't you plant?" During the time of Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty, Jia Rang once suggested to the court that "more canals should be crossed in Jizhou, so that the people can irrigate the fields... Therefore, planting wheat is more japonica rice", Qin Peng was appointed as Taishou in Shanyang to "raise thousands of hectares of rice fields", Zhang Kan was appointed as Yuyang Taishou "to open more than 8,000 hectares of rice fields in Youzhou Hunu, and persuaded the people to cultivate, so as to become rich", Youzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Yuzhou can all be planted, why can't they be planted in the state? ”

What the? During the Eastern Han Dynasty, these places were already widely cultivated? Why don't I know?

Zhang Quan quickly recalled in his mind the knowledge of the Qin and Han dynasties in later generations, and sure enough, in the depths of his memory, he found some clues. During the Qin and Han dynasties, the crop pattern was still southern rice and northern millet, but with the arrival of immigrants, a small amount of cultivation also began. According to the Northern Wei Dynasty agronomist Jia Sixian's "Qi Min Yaoshu", at this time there was upland rice cultivation in the north.

The wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated!

"Hmm!" Zhang Quan nodded, "It's me who is lonely and unheard!" ”

"I have also thought of the promotion of the cultivation of beam, millet, rice, and wheat, but even if the growth cycle is shorter, it will take at least two or three months to harvest, and what to do in the next two or three months is the most headache." Wen Hui said.

There are a lot of minerals in the state, it is better to gather the people of Taihang Mountain, dig a lot, in order to raise money to buy grain from the surrounding states, but I am afraid that it is not a matter of a while, do not hide from the lord, I am worried about this night, and finally feel that it is difficult to save the fire from far water, it is really sad. Xie Jin shook his head in distress.

At this time, Kou Zhun, who was silent on the side, pondered for a while, and said slowly: "In addition to raising grain and grass for the people of Taihang Mountain, maybe we should also give them a hope." ”

"Hope? What hope? ”

"Land."

"Land?"

"Yes, land is undoubtedly the greatest hope for the common people! With hope, no matter how difficult it is, the common people can often survive it, and they will not take risks and fall into the grass. (To be continued.) )
