Chapter 10 Spring Plough Offering (1) Seeking Collection

The recruitment process was very smooth, but Ji Dan always felt a little strange, in the past, courtesy to the door often got their lives, but this time Zha Zhao Zheng seemed to be doing business. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info I promise to help you do things, and you help me send troops to suppress bandits.

Ji Dan is not a person who is easy to deceive after all, and the order to appoint Zhao Zheng as the Zhonglang General has not been recorded in the official register before it has become a fake Zhonglang General. In the case of a holiday, the deputy is generally appointed to replace the lieutenant temporarily in wartime.

The imperial order did not wait for the evening to change, and after speaking, Zhao Zheng was demoted by one level in an instant, and the number of soldiers under his command was reduced from 3,000 to 1,500.

But Ji Dan's precautions against Zhao Zheng were far less than this, and he issued an order for the transfer of 500 people, which means that Zhao Zheng's actual number of troops was a captain.

There is a shortage of manpower to recruit, but the place where Zhao Zheng performed his duties was not in Zhuo County, but in Yishuiting, or under the rule of Yihou. In this regard, Yihou explained that he exchanged fiefs with Prince Dan, and there was only one pavilion for ten miles, and there was no need to inform King Yan for approval.

has been tricked by Zhao Zheng many times, and today he is also looking for some trouble with Zhao Zheng, although this trouble is big in the eyes of outsiders, but Yihou believes that Zhao Zheng can solve it.

"The prince has confidence in me", Zhao Zheng said with a smile to Ji Jing who came to "persuade".

For Ji Jing, the last thing he wants to see is that Zhao Zheng, a good friend, is fighting openly and secretly with his father, although his father loses every time.

Ji Jing told Zhao Zheng that he had overheard Prince Dan and Yihou as soon as the order was issued, and this trouble was just to sharpen him, and the two of them still loved him from the bottom of their hearts.

Zhao Zheng scoffed at this, but it was difficult to say it in front of Ji Jing, so he had to smile bitterly and let Ji Jing tell his father about his sad face, hoping that Yihou could leave some means.

"Brother Zhao, don't worry, Xiao Jing is willing to join you, and I have two hundred guards who can also be incorporated into it." In order to eliminate his resentment towards his father, Ji Jing not only dedicated himself, but even dug his father's corner.

A righteous bear child, Ji Jing's temperament will help him to the death if he recognizes his friends, and he will die if he recognizes the enemy.

Zhao Zheng said with a smile: "The Yihou Mansion Guards are on an errand under the account of the Zhonglang General of Zhuo County, Xiaojing, you are too imaginative, right?" ”

Ji Jing blushed for a while, when it came to fighting alone, he could stick a knife in his friend's ribs without any scruples, but he only sighed for the battle formation.

Looking at this simple but really self-regarded little marquis, Zhao Zheng patted him on the shoulder and said: "I'm already very satisfied with this official position, and besides, don't you have the five hundred old soldiers that the prince gave me."

I was originally a general in this fake festival to suppress bandits, and five hundred old soldiers were enough. If Xiao Jing is really willing to help me, why don't you help me find some skilled craftsmen, there must be a barracks for 500 people. ”

Ji Jing nodded, since Zhao Zheng had already thought of an idea, then he didn't have to worry about it, he just needed to help as he said, but things were not so simple.

In Yihou's mansion, Yihou looked at Ji Jing who was leaning his neck in front of him with an angry face, and said with hatred: "Bastard, why do you take the burden yourself without your business, now you promise to help Zhao Zheng build a military camp, how many craftsmen are needed, how much manpower is needed." ”

"Hmph, you just can't see Brother Zhao defecting to the prince and not being your guest, you are taking revenge."

The three corpse gods of Yihou were furious, and secretly scolded Zhao Zheng for what kind of ecstasy he poured into his son, and how he spoke for him vigorously. There are many craftsmen, but they don't rely on craftsmanship to eat, and the industrial and commercial food officials of Yan still exist, especially in the traditional noble fiefdom surnamed Ji. The craftsmen who had the skills were kept by the aristocracy, but they also had to work for nothing when needed.

When there was no work, the nobles naturally did not let these craftsmen rest, so they were given fields to support themselves by farming, and provided conscription when they needed it.

It is still the beginning of March, and the ice is beginning to melt, and the farmers have to cultivate the land in less than half a month according to the season.

Yihou scolded Ji Jing for not considering the pros and cons and agreeing to Zhao Zheng's request, but in the end there was a danger of causing public resentment. Ji Jing refuted Yihou's ingratitude, forgetting who was helping the victims under the banner of Yihou Mansion in winter.

The two fathers and sons quarreled so much that they couldn't get along, but no one dared to come forward to persuade them, Qi Fang, the county lieutenant of Yixian County and the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion, was still snickering on the side, Zhao Zheng was done this time, stealing chickens was not a counter-erosion. originally wanted to use the little marquis to help persuade Yihou Songsong to restrict him, but he completely angered Yihou, just afraid that he would be angry with him in the future.

At this time, the subordinate reported that Gao gradually left the visit, Yihou heard that it was his own think tank that came, tidied up his clothes and went out to find him to take countermeasures, and did not forget to say to Ji Jing when he left: "You are a rebel, you are not allowed to go there from today onwards, just stay in the house and think about your own mistakes, and you don't know that you are being used." ”

"Hmph", Ji Jing twisted his neck and didn't look at him, so that Yihou couldn't scold him, he couldn't say it, the resentment against Zhao Zheng deepened in his heart, and the two parties relied on means to drag their son in.

"If there is a next time, Benhou will be punished."

Yihou is afraid of the power of the prince, and now that Zhao Zheng has become his person, he has to deal with it carefully, and he is also angry, all of this is caused by himself.

Coming to the front hall, Gao Yanli was sitting in a guest seat with a smile on his face in white and was drinking tea, and saw Yihou come in and get up and salute and said: "Junhou, this time I brought a good omen to Junhou to dispel the anger in Junhou's heart." ”

"Oh, there is such a thing, please Mr. Tell me quickly, Ben Hou is angry, and the rebel is not looking good, and he is bent on speaking for Zhao Zheng."

"Hehe, in this way, I want to congratulate the prince and bring a powerful ally for the Yihou Mansion."

Yihou frowned and asked, "Zhao Zheng?" ”

Gao Yanli smiled and took out something from his arms and handed it to Yihou, saying, "It's him." ”

"The name of this thing is the Quyuan plow, which is simple and lightweight, and the depth can be adjusted, and the most important thing is that this plow can plow the ground with only one ox."

Yihou looked at the model of the curved plough in his hand, the structure was very simple, only a movable plough pole, but it saved a cow. It is important to know that the plough is still pulled by two oxen or two horses, which not only requires the farmer to control the speed of the two horses at the same time, but also needs to constantly adjust the depth to adapt to the terrain.

Moreover, the price of two horses and two oxen is very expensive, so many farmers pull the plough by hand, but the plough is very cumbersome, and the moisture of the plough is not good.

"Well, this kid always throws out a big surprise after angering Ben Hou, with this thing I Yi County, my Yan country farmer can save half of his physical strength, and if you really want to think about what Mr. said, the fertility of the land will also be doubled, then the grain will also be doubled.

This thing is really a sacred object that benefits the country and the people for the benefit of all generations, and it should be enshrined in the temple to let the ancestors of the Yan Kingdom know. But this thing can't be announced for the time being, and Ben Hou needs to decide after consulting with the prince, otherwise if Qi Chu learns about this thing, how much smoke will it take. ”

Gao Yanli also nodded solemnly, agriculture is the foundation of the country, so I have to be careful. It's just that in this way, only the people of Yan can enjoy the convenience brought by this thing, and the people of other countries have to work hard all year round to hand over the only harvest to the feudal king.

"Xing, the people are bitter; Death, the people suffer. Brother Zhao, you are right. ”
