Chapter 83: The Unexpected Dispute

However, it was said that Lu Ren and Li Dian welcomed Xia Houdun into the village, and Xia Houdun glanced at the camp and the people who were working in the fields outside the camp and said to Lu Ren: "Captain Lu, why are most of the livestock pulling plows in the fields more horses than oxen?" ”

Lu Renxin said that I also want to use cows! It's not that you can't use a horse-drawn plow, but I always feel that using a horse to pull it is not a problem. But the situation here is not to mention the cattle, even the horses are pitiful, you Xia Houdun didn't see a lot of plows being pulled? At that moment, Lu Ren could only shake his head and smile bitterly: "General Xia Hou doesn't know, the laborers I tried to use in Tuntian here are all exiled and hungry people recruited around Juancheng in the winter, where are there cattle to cultivate?" As for these few heads in the camp now, Xun Sima was finally transferred. Spring ploughing is indispensable, and I had no choice but to give the order and use horses to plough instead of oxen. ”

Xia Houdun nodded in understanding: "Some time ago, Xun Sima wrote to me, saying that Captain Lu will come here to try out the matter of Tuntian, but I will take care of it if I have spare energy." Since you are short of ploughing cattle here, I will order someone to send some over when you go back. ”

Lu Renxin said that the relationship was good, and he quickly saluted Xia Houdun and thanked him.

Xia Houdun came over today, to put it bluntly, he came to say hello and take care of it, and there was nothing else, so he just went back after taking a turn around Lu Ren, and Lu Ren didn't pay much attention to it here, and what should be done was still being carried out in an orderly manner.

In a blink of an eye, many days passed, the weather became much warmer, and the first batch of rice seeds planted by Lu Ren here also sprouted from the soil. Lu Ren has always been very concerned about this matter, so it is indispensable to go down to the ground to check it in person, and carefully compare it according to the pattern data in the chip to avoid any mistakes.

After making sure that there was nothing wrong and he had some confidence in his heart, Lu Ren decided to start the formal selection and sowing. On this day, Lu Ren was supervising the selection of everyone's seeds, and suddenly someone reported that Xia Houdun's ploughing cattle were delivered, and Lu Ren hurried to meet them, saying that Xia Houdun's time for you to choose is really good, and I will plant the seeds here as soon as the selection is completed, and there is a shortage of ploughing cattle to carry out the final land preparation.

This time, Xia Houdun did not come in person. After all, he is also the head of a field, and it is impossible to do everything himself, so he only needs to ask someone to run for something like sending something. However, Lu Ren was a little surprised by the people who came back, because Lu Ren once told Xun Yu and Guo Jia that he wanted to see Han Hao, that is, the one who really made great contributions to Cao Cao's Tuntian work in the original history. I just don't know if Xun Yu said hello to Xia Houdun, so Xia Houdun asked Han Hao to meet Lu Ren.

Meet and greet and talk politely, these don't have to be too much to say. Han Hao sent thirty ploughing cattle to Lu Ren this time, which was not a small number under the circumstances at that time, and Lu Ren was naturally overjoyed. And Han Hao proposed at this time that he wanted to take a look at the cultivation carried out by Lu Ren here, and Lu Ren had no reason to refuse. In fact, Lu Ren not only won't refuse, but also wants everyone else to see it, to put it bluntly, this is the psychology of the sling who likes to pretend to be 13.

But what Lu Ren didn't expect was that when he brought Han Hao to Tianzhong, Han Hao only looked at it a few times and then frowned, and then said angrily: "Captain Lu! Since you have been appointed as the captain of Tuntian, you should know about farming! But how do you plough this field? ”

“???” A large string of question marks popped up on Lu Ren's head, and he walked to the rice field that Han Hao pointed to to and looked at it, but he didn't find anything wrong, and immediately asked curiously: "This field ...... Is there anything wrong? ”

Han Hao seemed to be a little angry, pointed to the surroundings of the field and said, "This field ...... (N word omitted), this ridge ...... (N words omitted)! Also, I have just examined the cultivation drawings and bamboo slips you handed over to the centurion, so how can I put the rice seedlings in the water? Captain Lu, if you don't know about farming, you can ask the old farmers in the field for advice or two, or look for "Victory of Victory" to read, like you can only waste manpower in vain, but you will not get anything in the autumn! Cao Gong entrusted the important task of trying to be tun to you, and you must not take it as a child's play!! ”

Lu Renleng understood for a long time, and responded with a smile: "Japonica rice is rice, not upland rice!" What you just said is how to grow upland rice......"

The latter words are not easy for Lu Ren to say. Because according to Lu Ren's careful reference to the information transmitted by Shirley, the general conclusion is that there was no real upland rice in the Han Dynasty. The so-called upland rice in the Han Dynasty was actually a dry rice plant, and the yield was quite low. And with Lu Ren's current conditions, it is impossible for him to find the real upland rice at all...... For example, many people often say that Champa rice.

But Zhancheng is on the Fujian side, and Lu Ren can't go if he wants to! Even if it was found by Lu Ren, it would take a long time to cultivate and form under the circumstances at that time, don't forget that our Uncle Yuan spent nine years to cultivate a variety of hybrid rice, and it matured N times! In addition, modern scholars of Champa rice also suspect that it is a dry rice, but the yield is slightly higher and the soil requirements are not high.

According to Lu Ren's idea, he wanted to do something to benefit the people before returning to modern times. Considering that he stayed in the Han Dynasty for no more than two years, and he only had the agricultural materials transmitted to him by Shirley, he was really not an agricultural expert, and Lu Ren neither dared nor had the confidence to do anything about cultivating and improving varieties.

After thinking about it, the only thing that can be done at the moment is to correct the misunderstandings of rice planting in North China and leave the correct planting method of rice. In order to be careful not to make mistakes, Lu Ren's selection of rice varieties was to choose japonica rice, which can only be harvested once a year, but is suitable for planting in North China, rather than Cancan rice, which can be harvested twice a year in subtropical areas. It's just that he didn't expect that he had just started, and Han Hao's big nail came out.

Lu Ren's words were not easy to say, but Han Hao over there scolded again and again: "Rice is rice, how can there be a difference between water and drought!?" Thou art so ignorant of farming, and thou hast taken a break from spring ploughing! I advise you to either change it as soon as possible, or return to Juancheng and return to the official seal! In the meantime, there are many people in Tuntian, and I will ask General Xia Hou to write to Juancheng and send someone else to replace him! ”

Han Hao's words were very unkind and unfriendly, and although Lu Ren usually didn't want to cause trouble, it didn't mean that Lu Ren was timid and cowardly, on the contrary, Lu Ren was in his twenties when he was in his prime of blood, and the reaction to being provoked was very strong. Before, Lu Ren was angry in his head, and the scary things he made in a fit of anger were not one or two. Now Han Hao scolded this time......

“…… No way! Who the hell is he not knowing!? Lao Tzu's chip is filled with the essence of more than 1,800 years later, I don't know how many experts and scholars have researched, can it be said that it will not be as good as the volume of "Bi Shengzhi" that you have read? Fart! Lao Tzu doesn't believe that the Western Han Dynasty's "Bi Shengzhi" can be perfected than the "Rice Planting Encyclopedia" in my chip! ”

As soon as he thought of this, Lu Ren's tone became no longer polite, and he replied coldly: "In the land of Jiangbei, the method of planting rice has long been wrong, and I don't know that rice is also divided into water and drought. If the japonica rice I have chosen is planted properly, although it can only be harvested once a year, it still produces more grain than wheat and millet. To Han Gong, have you ever been to the south? Do you know what happens when you grow rice? What you just said is quite deficient even in growing millet and wheat, let alone growing rice. ”

Han Hao is a typical bull temper and admits death, otherwise he would not have directly ordered the enemy to be killed when Xia Houdun was taken hostage by Lu Bu's soldiers and horses. Now seeing Lu Ren contradicting him like this, Han Hao's anger also came up: "I see that you don't have the law of farming, and you are kind to persuade you, but you don't appreciate my affection so much!" Well, in that case......"

Lu Renxin said Do you still want to do it? Did he once ignore Xia Houdun's life and death but was rewarded by Cao Cao, but he became addicted to other people's lives and deaths? His sister's don't say you don't have Shang Fang's sword, even if you do, it's not so messy.

At that moment, Lu Ren took two steps back, and wanted to reach out to buckle the hilt of the sword, but remembered that because he was busy with farm work, he didn't have the sword on his body, so he stretched out his hand and snatched Changge in the hand of a guard next to him, and then said lukewarmly to Han Hao: "Han Gong, my method of planting rice has been inquired about by the lord and Xun Sima, and my position as the captain of Tuntian was also given by Cao Gong himself. ”

"......" Han Hao was immediately stunned. He also saw that Lu Ren was young, so he regarded himself as an elder a little.

Lu Ren continued: "Jun is in Fan County, and he belongs to General Xia Hou; I am in Juancheng, but I am under the command of Xun Sima, not under the command of General Xia Hou, let alone under your command! If you have any dissatisfaction with me, you can pass the book to Xun Gong in Juancheng, and my stay will also be decided by Xun Gong, but it is not for you to decide. Like you, what's the difference between relying on being a close relative of Cao Gong to force people!? If you insist on doing it, first of all, you may not be able to do anything to me Lu Ren, and you insist on doing your own thing, but Cao Gong's law, what should you do!? ”

"You ......" Han Hao was really stuck this time. This guy is indeed a person who admits death, but the more people who admit death, they tend to follow the rules more than anyone else. Lu Ren moved Cao Cao's law out, and Han Hao really had no choice but to take Lu Ren for a while.

Lu Ren secretly snickered in his heart, and said in his heart: "Hmph, this is called knowing oneself and knowing that the other is invincible!" Xia Houdun is not qualified to take a holiday now, and because he is a close relative, he must be more careful and law-abiding than others, and at the same time he will be stricter with the people around him, otherwise he will not be able to be trusted by Cao Cao in the future to supervise the 26th Army, and you Han Hao will not be able to do such an important military position as the Central Protector Army. I'll crush you to death with the current law and discipline, and see what else you have to say! ”

At this moment, Han Hao really didn't have anything to say, just glared at Lu Ren fiercely and threw his sleeves away. Lu Ren breathed a sigh of relief here, but as for how Han Hao would say bad things about himself in Xia Houdun, Lu Ren said that it was impossible not to worry. As soon as he thought of this, Lu Ren also felt a big headache, and as soon as he changed his mind, he hurriedly returned to the account, grabbed a simple pen and wrote a letter, and asked people to ride a fast horse to send it to Juancheng Xunyu...... There is no way, Lu Ren at this time needs to have a backstage to help him with it.
