Chapter 59: Wei Yan's Troubles
Chen Jin's invention of the Quyuan plough finally greatly improved the efficiency of spring ploughing and perfectly solved the problem of insufficient population. Liu Bei, www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, looked at the busy people in the field, and the corners of his mouth were almost pulling to the root of his ears, as if he had seen a bumper harvest this year.
Chen Jin took a look, it's not okay to cultivate like this, the soil has no fertilizer, how can crops grow well. Chen Jin had to disturb Liu Bei's dream again. So Chen Jin said to Liu Bei: "Lord, this is not good, there is no fertilizer in the soil, and the crops will not grow well if they want to, and there will not be much grain."
Liu Bei was stunned: "An Ji still understands farming?"
Chen Jin said modestly: "I know a little bit about it."
When Liu Bei heard Chen Jin say this, he was overjoyed, and said to Chen Jin: "Mr. is talented, and Mr. Organ also understands a little, but I didn't expect that there is no one in the world to match, and this farming is a little understanding, it seems that Mr. is clumsy again."
Chen Jin is telling the truth now, he really understands a little! Chen Jin was just about to speak, but Liu Bei continued: "Since Mr. understands a little, then let's take a part-time job as a captain of the agricultural school, and let the original one do it!" After Liu Bei finished speaking, he went back with a smile.
Chen Jin has no other way, he works part-time, even if he understands a little, he knows more than others.
Chen Jin hurriedly ordered someone to find the original captain of the Diannong School and stop plowing the land. As soon as the original captain of the pawn farm came, Chen Jin took a look, isn't this Wei Yan, how can he become the captain of the pawn farm, this is completely unreasonable! Wei Yan is also a brave and resourceful general, and he has nothing to say about Liu Bei's loyalty, how did he become a captain of the agricultural school? But now is not the time to talk about this, it is more important to let them sprinkle fertilizer first.
After all, Wei Yan has been a pawn farmer for a long time, and he is more familiar with the people below, at least he is much stronger than Chen Jin, what Chen Jin says, Wei Yan will let the old farmers do it, and this matter is simple. The old peasants did not understand the truth, and they did not need to understand the truth, they just had to obey the instructions. But Chen Jin must explain the truth to Wei Yan, because he is an official, not as good as an old peasant. To be an official, you need to know what it is and then know why it is true, otherwise what is the difference between it and the old farmers below.
Chen Jin called Wei Yan over and said, "Do you know slash-and-burn?"
"You know a little bit about it, slash-and-burn farming is the most primitive way of farming, first use a stone axe to cut down the tree, pull out the roots, dry it and burn it, and then you can sow it." Wei Yan talked eloquently.
This Wei Yan can, the captain of the Diannong School is not in vain, it seems that he has still done a job, no wonder he will leave a great name in the original history. This is still an area that he is not good at, if he is allowed to gallop on the battlefield, Liu Bei will have another handsome talent. It's a pity not to be a general.
"That's true, but I have something to say. Slash-and-burn farming is too primitive, and deforestation is not a long-term solution, so we have to make a fuss about fertilizer. Then Chen Jin told Wei Yan that animal manure and crop straw were made into organic fertilizer, so that he could spread it.
After this matter was over, Chen Jin asked Wei Yan again: "Why did you become a pawn farmer captain?"
"It's hard to put into words." Wei Yan's face was ugly, and he was silent after saying these four words, obviously he didn't want to talk about this topic.
It's really unsociable, although the ability is big, but the temper is not small.
"Let's talk about it!" Chen Jin continued to ask.
"I don't want to say it."
It's really a treasure of words, is it Capricorn? Capricorn has always been cold and silent, but he is very responsible, strong and pragmatic. But if you don't speak, how will others know about you!
Chen Jin saw that Wei Yan didn't want to say it and couldn't force him to say it, so Chen Jin could only say it himself.
"Judging by the way you look, something must have gone wrong. You're a military general, but you're asked to manage farming, so I guess it has something to do with it, right? ”
Wei Yan was still silent.
Chen Jin is really speechless, I'm here to help you, can't you see this. Chen Jin said helplessly: "Okay, let me ask you a question."
Wei Yan nodded.
"You have two subordinates, one reports to you on time and on time every day, and at the same time tells you everything you think, and the other you only know such a person, and you have never met him, if you want to promote someone, who will you promote?"
"The first one!" Wei Yan said without thinking about it.
"You also understand this truth, then you don't tell me anything, you want to be the deputy of this agricultural captain forever." Chen Jin said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
Wei Yan was entangled, thought for a while and said, "I don't know how to say it, and I don't know where to start."
Isn't this just stupid, it seems that it is really Capricorn! But it doesn't matter, opening your mouth is progress. Chen Jin continued to flicker: "Say whatever you think."
"I'll sort out my thoughts." After a while, Wei Yan said quietly: "This has to start from the day I surrendered to the lord."
Chen Jin waited for the following, waited for the next day and there was no movement, turned his head to look at Wei Yan, only to see him looking up at the sky, his expression solemn and solemn, as if he recalled the past. Chen Jin was in a hurry, so he had to break the depressing atmosphere created by Wei Yan, "You should say it quickly!" ”
Wei Yan was embarrassed for a while, "I'm thinking too much." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, go on, go on, I'm going to love listening to stories." Chen Jin urged.
"Back then, I opened the gate of the city wall and helped the lord to take Xiangyang, how high-spirited and happy I was at that time, but after that, some people did not want to see me, saying that I was a traitor seeking glory, and I could betray Liu Cong today, and he could betray the lord tomorrow, so since then I have been serving as the captain of the agricultural school." In a few words, he said what Wei Yan was thinking, and after saying it, Wei Yan felt a lot happier in his heart.
That's what it looks like! However, it seems that in the original history, Wei Yan was very important to Liu Bei, when he captured Hanzhong, people thought that Zhang Fei would be allowed to guard this place, and Zhang Fei himself thought that he would become the Taishou of Hanzhong, but Liu Bei chose to let Wei Yan go to guard Hanzhong. Wei Yan said to Liu Bei at that time: "If Cao Cao raises the whole country's troops to attack, I will definitely block him for you, and if Cao Cao leads an army of 100,000 to attack, I will definitely destroy him for you." How domineering, Wei Yan finally lived up to Liu Bei's expectations, guarding Hanzhong for more than ten years, and he has been peaceful.
Wei Yan is so talented, how can he be buried like this, he has to help him! Chen Jin thought about it.
