"Hold your hands steady, don't shrink your hands and feet, and add more strength to the handle...... yes, that's it, get it? ”

"Understood, thank you Brother Yuzi, thank you Brother Lengzi. [No pop-up novel network]"

"Well, change the next one, hurry up, hurry up, the adults have said, don't miss the time of spring ploughing."

"Got it!"

If it is in the Central Plains or Jiangnan, spring ploughing may have begun, but here in Liaodong, even in a relatively warm place like Liaonan, farmers can only make some preparations at home.

But when General Mao Shen arrived in Jinzhou, what he saw was a scene in full swing, a large group of people gathered on a wasteland, in the middle were more than a dozen young people, holding all kinds of farm tools in their hands, these farm tools were very strange, Mao Shen General lived a handful of years, and he had a wide range of knowledge, but he had never seen any of them.

Not seeing it does not prevent him from understanding the purpose of these things, although he has never been to the ground himself, but he is also the largest landlord in southern Liaoning, and he has seen some scenes in the fields.

The most conspicuous big guy is obviously a big plow, and it is the one that Qi Fat Man said in his heart, Mao Lun looked at the strange plow in a daze.

He also understood why Qi Cheng tried his best to exaggerate this thing in the letter, if he didn't see it with his own eyes, he couldn't believe that there would be such a magical plough in the world anyway, looking at it, he seemed to have a lot of fertile land in front of him, all over the vast land of Liaodong.

He also had no time to study the other farm tools carefully, the left and right were very magical, and he couldn't see the mystery for a while, but as long as he saw the spirit of the people of Jinzhou, even a fool could understand that these people were full of hope for the future. This hope may come from those farm tools, or it may come from the New Deal for land granting, or more likely, it comes from someone.

Mao Lun looked to the north with palpitations, that is, in the direction of Liaoyang, the governor's convoy arrived at the Liaodong Capital Division before the New Year, but he didn't expect that he sent a team of men and horses to do such a big thing in Jinzhou, this means and thinking are really unfathomable.

"My lord, the Jinzhou Guard is over there, should we go and meet Commander Qi? Besides, it's getting dark, so we have to find a place to stay. ”

Seeing that the face of their general was uncertain, the accompanying soldiers thought that they were in a little unhappy, so they proposed softly. There is no civil affairs officer in Jinzhou, since something happened, then just go directly to the commander to ask the guilt, why bother blowing cold wind here?

As for whether the general was angry because Qi Cheng concealed the new farm tools and did not report them, or did not send the good things to Gaizhou first, so that his family could see them, it was none of the business. It is said that the fat man is also damned, with such a good thing, how can he not give it to his superiors first and let it be disposed of?

"Not busy...... Mao Lun waved his hand, but his eyes were fixed on the crowd, the two young people at the head, until he saw that because it was dark, the crowd began to disperse, and it was obvious that he was going to call it a day and go home, so he shouted in a low voice: "Come and follow the general, and the others will go to the Jinzhou Guard Station first." ”

"However, my lord...... "Mao Lun didn't have many people with him, and the soldiers couldn't help but hesitate when they suddenly heard such an order.

"But what? Just go! Don't delay the general's big business, you two, come with me. Mao Lun turned his head and snorted coldly, then casually pointed to the two henchmen, and quickly chased in the direction where the two young men left.

...... "Brother Yu, you're back, you've worked hard." ”

"Brother Yu, come and sit at home, your aunt cooked a good dish today."

"Brother Leftover......"

Zhao Yu enjoyed more warm words than in the first half of his life, no matter where he went, he was the focus of the crowd, not to mention the time to teach people to use new farm tools in the wasteland every day, it can be said that it is all the attention.

In particular, after the fourth notice of Muchengyi was posted, those who were originally jealous of him changed their attitudes, because on that notice, the reclamation order of the governor's yamen and the new system of tuntian were officially announced.

The new policy stipulates the number of acres of land that can be reclaimed according to the number of people in each family, and in addition, the original military tun is also apportioned among everyone at the same time, yes, it is everyone, whether it is a military household or a criminal household, everyone has a share of the land and the qualification of reclamation!

Although the proportion of taxes collected by the government was a bit high, the governor's yamen also made it clear that there would be no other apportionment except for the amount of taxes specified in the notice, so that the actual share paid was far lower than before.

What's more, the governor's yamen not only provided free farm tools, but also set a rule that decreases year by year! At least three years, at most five years, Tian Fu can be reduced to 30%, is 30%!

The experienced old people say that this kind of good governance may not even be seen during the founding of the country, when the imperial decrees are the clearest, and I am afraid that only the legendary era of the three emperors and five emperors can be compared.

In this way, where can anyone care about jealousy? Since Zhao Yu has vision and courage, it is reasonable to have a larger share and two more years of discounts, and now everyone has to point to them to teach the key to using new farm tools.

As a result, Zhao Yu won the unprecedented enthusiasm of the villagers. In addition to being proud and honored, he has always been talking about the benefits of Hou Ye to the people around him, and he always refers to him as 'our Hou Ye'.

When Xie Hong found out, he also had a good impression of him, and felt that this person was not only grateful for his kindness, but also kind-hearted, and should be a good person to cultivate. Of course, Xie Hong just said these words casually to the people around him, and did not reach Zhao Yu's ears, otherwise the latter might have set up an immortal tablet, and then said that he would worship.

"Thank you, thank you, but I still have to go home to serve my mother, let's talk about it next time." Zhao Yu smiled and nodded in return, but declined all these invitations.

Because of this, he also delayed a lot of time along the way, and when he said goodbye to Lengzi, when he arrived at the door of the house, the sky was already dark, and he saw that the end of the day was about to set.

"Mother, I'm back."

"Son, it's been hard again." Mother Zhao leaned against the door, smiling kindly and relieved.

At this time, the old lady's complexion has improved a lot, firstly, the governor Yamen lent rations, and the Zhao family's son is no longer as embarrassed as before, and the bigger reason is, of course, that there is hope, and the son is even more promising.

Every day, the neighbors' enthusiasm for their sons, the old man sees it in his eyes and sweetens it in his heart. Every day when sending my son out, I will lean in front of the door to send each other, even if I can't see the figure, I still refuse to turn back, and when the son comes home at the end of the day, I will cook early and open the door to greet him.

How can you not be happy? Even when the child's father was alive, he never had such an achievement, even his second uncle praised it, and said that the commander also praised his son, and he also made a family affair with Zhang Qianhu in Gaizhou...... The relief in the old lady's heart is indescribable.

"Amitabha, the ancestors of the Zhao family are blessed, and this is why you have a child......" The old lady muttered in pieces.

"Mother, you are talking nonsense again, this is clearly the blessing that our Hou Ye has brought us! Mother, didn't you say that you can't forget your roots? Let the children not show off to the villagers, but it is also our duty to remember people's favors, and we must not forget it either. ”

"Well, what my son said makes sense, it's not good to be a mother...... Son, are those friends yours? Why don't you come in and sit down? ”

Although she was refuted by her son, the old man was not angry, she didn't think it was a collision at all, and the smile on her face was more kind, but when Zhao Yulin was about to enter the door, she suddenly saw her son followed by a few people, with some faces, so she pointed and asked her son to see.

"Friends? Who are you? Did you come for me? After listening to his mother's words, Zhao Yu turned around and looked at it, and he also felt that his face was raw, but he didn't feel strange.

In the past few days, people from all over the villages of Jinzhou Wei have gathered near the guard, and there are even people who have heard the wind and rushed over from Fuzhou, although he is a native of Jinzhou, it is impossible to recognize everyone, and it is common for some strangers to come to find them.

"Ben...... I heard about the matter here in Jinzhou, specially from Gaizhou, today I saw that you are in the wasteland, there are a lot of puzzles, can you please explain it? "Of course, it was General Mao who spoke.

First, he wanted to see Zhao Yu's background to determine whether he was acting on purpose; There were a lot of people around Zhao Yu along the way, and he didn't want to attract attention, so he didn't get a chance to get close. It wasn't until Zhao Yu entered the house that he hurried up.

"But ......" Zhao Yu hesitated, it would be okay if it was in vain, but every day Zhao's mother waited for him to come back before eating, delaying the time to eat, it didn't matter to herself, but her mother couldn't.

"Son, it's not easy for people to come all the way from Gaizhou, so you can tell someone, my mother is in the house." Zhao's mother was reasonable, guessed her son's thoughts, so she persuaded her, and turned around and entered the house.

"That'...... Just ask, as long as we know, we must not hide it, but it's better to hurry, my mother is still waiting for me to eat. Zhao Yu thought about it, so he stopped and talked to Mao Lun.

"Little brother, that new farm tool...... But it came down from the governor's yamen? Now that we can open up wasteland, why don't we hurry up and cultivate more fields? But are the tools insufficient? ”

"This big brother, you're not confused, are you? What time of year is it and where is the time to open up wasteland? Although the farm tools are good, they have to be cherished and used, and now they are just teaching everyone to use them, and they will not start in full swing until the land thaws. ”

Zhao Yu and others are tossing in the same field every day, in fact, there are really not enough tools. No matter what kind of tools, there is no reason to make them in a big way before the actual test, and they must go through a period of running-in before they can be fully implemented. However, there is no need to say these reasons to the people, as long as there are those that Zhao Yu said, it is enough.

"That ......" is a general, Mao Lun's head is still enough, every question is to the point, and Zhao Yu answered in detail, and it didn't take long for him to have a comprehensive concept of the new policy in Golden State.

"Thank you little brother, alas, I'm really envious, it's a pity that we haven't done such a good thing in Gaizhou."

"Big brother, you don't have to worry, don't forget, our Hou Ye is the governor of Liaodong, and he is in charge of the whole of Liaodong, Gaizhou is so close to Jinzhou, it will be a matter of time." Zhao Yu said proudly.

"That's the best, that's the best...... There is little brother Lao, he said that he has time to come to Gaizhou, and the old brother will definitely treat you well, and he will leave today. ”

"You're welcome, farewell."

Leaving Zhaojia Village, Mao Lun's expression was a little solemn, the two pro-soldiers did not know why, and they did not dare to speak rashly, and remained silent for a long time, until Mao Lun suddenly raised his head and shouted: "Go, go back!" ”

"My lord, aren't we going to the guardhouse?" The pro-soldiers were stunned.

"What kind of guard house to go to, back to cover...... No, go to Liaoyang! "Everything that should be known knows, how can Mao Lun still have the heart to meet Qi Cheng?
