Chapter 434: First Snow
The silver flower bead tree came to see the dawn, and the hangover was twice as cold as the first awakening. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It is like Wang Gong wearing a crane, and the railing is still a jade fence.
The snow is coming a little early this winter! Outside Handan City, several carriages lined up side by side, but anyone with a clear eye could see the nobility of the people in the car!
There is a saying: snow is not cold, snow is cold! Zhang Xiao in the car pulled up his coat in one hand, wrapped himself tightly, and said in a trembling tone: "A winter snow and a cold, I didn't expect such a cold!" ”
In the carriage, sitting next to each other was Uncle Wang Pingyuanjun and Xiangguo Yuxin, and sitting opposite was Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao. In a small space, I didn't expect so many people to gather at once!
After Zhang Xiao returned from Youyou's tomb, he hadn't figured out what the reason was! In the entire Zhao Realm, there was a sudden heavy snowfall! Therefore, he was busy with Uncle Wang and a few people in the car to inspect......
After listening to King Zhao's words, Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao echoed: "The cold snow is coming, it is indeed cold!" I wonder what happened to the people in the county? ”
Zhang Xiao lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the snow-capped flat land in front of him, which was deserted! Not without a self-deprecating voice: "In today's weather, I'm afraid that the people are hiding at home." We're going out this time, I'm afraid we will come back in vain! ”
After saying this, Zhang Xiao immediately lowered the curtain! This cold wind blows on the face, like a knife cutting, and it hurts badly!
However, it hasn't been long yet! The guard who drove the car asked softly: "Your Majesty, there are still many people gathered not far ahead, have they ever stopped?" ”
After Zhang Xiao heard this, he immediately stopped cheering! He wrapped his coat tightly before walking down the workshop, and there were still many people in front of him, using people as plows, sowing grain with difficulty!
The carriage in the back stopped closely, and the people sitting in the middle of the carriage were Neishi Shendi, Doctor Lu Buwei and others! Zhang Xiao stepped forward in surprise and asked, "Uncle, why are you still farming in today's season?" ”
The person who was questioned saw countless children in Chinese costumes standing behind him! He immediately stopped, and said in an echo: "Gentlemen, you don't know that the people don't have iron tools to cultivate land, so they have cultivated until now!" ”
Listening to the old man's words, Zhang Xiao was shocked for a while! He would never have thought that Zhao Guo would be so backward in terms of agricultural equipment!
In the "Historical Records", it is written: Fu Qin cannibalized the grain with the water of the cattle field, and the superior double war was divided into the land of the country, and his political deeds should not be embarrassed! Among them, it is written that the Qin State has long practiced iron plough and ox ploughing!
However, when Zhang Xiao inspected the land under the capital of Zhao today, there was still a matter of human cultivation, and it was even more conceivable when looking at other places!
After Zhang Xiao heard the old man's words, he asked: "Old man, the wheat seeds are only sown now, what is the matter with this harvest?" ”
At the mention of these, the old man who farmed also looked gloomy! Mencius said: If you don't violate the agricultural time, the grain cannot be eaten; The number of dogs does not enter the pond, and the fish and turtles cannot be eaten; The axe catty enters the mountains and forests at the right time, and the timber is not usable.
Now that the wheat is planted in this season, by the time of harvest, the yield of wheat will be in deficit! The old man also sighed and said: "The wheat is sown late, and when it is harvested, the particles are small and few, which is far worse than the wheat planted first!" ”
But this is the case, the ordinary people under the pressure of taxes are still farming in today's season! And just as the old man was speaking, the old farmers nearby saw a group of people in fancy clothes standing here, and rushed over one after another......
As soon as Yu Xin saw so many people gathering, he whispered in Zhang Xiao's ear: "Your Majesty, the more and more people gather, can they leave?" ”
Seeing this, Zhang Xiao shook his head and refused: "Don't!" It is precisely because of them that Dan knows that the agriculture of my Zhao State is so weak, compared to the situation of the people in the customs of the Qin State, it is really a world of distance! ”
When Zhang Xiao went to Xianyang, he had a glimpse of the cultivation of the people in the Guanzhong of the Qin State! The cultivation technology of the Qin Iron Plough and Ox Plough has long been popularized among the people!
Moreover, the land system implemented by the Qin State was completely different from that of the Zhao State, and the Qin State implemented a centralized "land granting system", and the land was owned by the state! The Korean people who were invaded by the Qin State also fled to the Qin State and cultivated the land of the Qin State!
The original people of the Qin State went into battle to kill the enemy under the military merit awarding system, while the people from the Six Kingdoms were called "guest people"! They cultivated the land and became the main group of taxes in the Qin State!
Once compared, which is better and which is better is immediately revealed! And the people of Zhao who came over also talked about it one after another, and some even began to complain about the gloomy government of Zhao State......
For these, Wei Jia, who was accompanying him, just wanted to open his mouth to scold, but was scolded by Zhang Xiao's eyes! If it's really okay to do it yourself, why are there so many complaints?
Zhang Xiao nodded and smiled at the people of Zhao who were talking! However, before he could speak for a long time, a chief came to him and scolded: "What are you all doing together, and the wheat is all planted?" ”
The joint sitting system of five families and ten families is an important guarantee to ensure that taxes can be paid on time! And as soon as they heard Shi Chang's reprimand, countless people hurriedly walked away and continued to cultivate!
Nashi Chang walked over and saw that the few people in front of him were all riding in a carriage and wearing gorgeous clothes! Being able to ride in a carriage is by no means simple! Therefore, it was originally a menacing coming, but in the end, it was just an understatement: "All the people here are farming people, gentlemen, let's leave quickly!" ”
It is the people's duty to reprimand the people! Zhang Xiao didn't want to say much, so he said softly: "Let's go, I'll rush back before dark!" ”
After Zhang Xiao spoke, he sat in the car! But Shi Chang was intimidated by the momentum of this group of people, and in such a cold weather, he was still sweating behind him......
The carriage left slowly, and after Zhang Xiao got on the carriage, after thinking for a long time, he asked Yu Xin: "Yu Xiang, I don't know how the iron smelting with coal blocks in Daijun is?" ”
When they found coal in Daigun, they immediately began to make iron from coal! Now that Zhao Guo's agricultural equipment is so weak, Zhang Xiao immediately thought of the Xiaoshan Arsenal!
Yu Xin thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, freezing three feet is not a day's cold!" The iron in the Xiaoshan Arsenal was just given to the people who went to the land of Jixi last time! Now there is a lot of friction between Yan and Zhao, I am afraid that it will be difficult to make agricultural iron tools for a while! ”
