From the end of January to the beginning of February, Tongchuan Fu Road has entered the busiest farming season. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Tongchuan Fulu is mainly planted with rice and corn, and rice is mostly cultivated, and farmers here also use rice as their main food.

During the Three Kingdoms, Sichuan was regarded as a fertile land for thousands of miles, the grain output here was relatively high, and because the roads were difficult to travel, relatively closed, most of the farmers were in a state of self-cultivation, and did not care much about the outside world, but such a situation had a great change in the Southern Song Dynasty, on the one hand, the Song Dynasty encouraged the development of commerce and trade, and the development of the entire Sichuan trade was in a very prosperous state, breaking the situation of the Sichuan people entertaining themselves, on the other hand, It was the Southern Song Dynasty court that took Sichuan as the biggest barrier, causing the Mongol army to attack all parts of Sichuan from time to time, and after the Mongol army occupied Tubo in western Sichuan and Dali in southern Sichuan, it was necessary to pass through Sichuan and govern the two places, which also led to Sichuan becoming the most fierce place for the Southern Song Dynasty court and the Mongolian army.

When Meng Ge was still the Great Khan of Mongolia, he personally led a large army to launch a large-scale attack on Hezhou and other places in Sichuan, trying to completely occupy the entire Sichuan, and then marched eastward to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty, Meng Ge's attack finally failed, and Sichuan temporarily stabilized, but unfortunately it did not take long for Liu Quan's defection to once again put the Sichuan important Tongchuan Fulu under the control of the Mongolian Tartars.

Whether it was Lu Wende leading the army to quell the rebellion, or Wu Shaogang completely extinguishing Liu Quan's rebellion and recovering the entire Tongchuan Fu Road, what was left to the Tongchuan Fu Road was full of devastation, and it would take a long time to heal the wounds of the war.

The best way to stabilize the localities is to enable the common people and peasant households to stabilize them thoroughly.

The best way to enable the common people and peasant households to achieve complete stability is to develop production, so that the peasant households and the common people can have grain in their hands, and the so-called grain in their hands will not panic.

Spring ploughing season is extremely important.

After inspecting all the way, Wu Shaogang's inner dissatisfaction became more and more, and he found one of the biggest problems, that is, the officials at all levels in Fuzhou and County almost ignored the spring plowing of farmers, and officials at all levels believed that spring ploughing was a matter of the people themselves, and there was no need for the government to come forward to manage it, and who still didn't know how to farm.

It is said that there is a certain truth in this understanding, the spring ploughing season is coming, the people naturally know to plant, otherwise there will be no food to eat in the coming year, they will be hungry, or even starve to death, out of the instinct of survival, the people will definitely seize every spring ploughing season.

Wu Shaogang does not see it this way, he thinks that the government urges the people to seize the spring ploughing season and farm the land well, showing an attitude, that is, the people farm the land, not only feed themselves, but also many officials, if there is no common people to farm, all the officials should not think about having food to eat, and they are also facing the situation of starvation.

The government's attention to the spring ploughing season shows respect for the parents of food and clothing, and the government can solve many problems in spring ploughing and production, and can also help the people recover their losses.

After arriving in Suining, Wu Shaogang made an important decision, requiring the chief officials of the thirteen prefectures under the jurisdiction of Tongchuan Fulu to rush to Suining Fucheng, and Changning, which was the farthest away, must also arrive within ten days.

On 25 February, the prefects and governors of the thirteen prefectures under the jurisdiction of Tongchuan Fulu all arrived in Suining Fucheng.

This is the first time in the world, according to the regulations of the imperial court, the chief official of the Yamen of Fuzhou County is not allowed to leave the local area, no one could have imagined that Wu Shaogang, the deputy envoy of Sichuan Province, the defense envoy, and the prefect of Luzhou, who has not been in office for a long time, will gather many chief officials to come to Suining to concentrate.

After many chief officers arrived in Suining one after another, they all felt surprised and novel.

Wu Shaogang did not wait for many prefects and governors in the government.

At this moment, Wu Shaogang, accompanied by the prefect of Suining and the prefect of Tongchuan, Li Siqi, watched the people plough the land and sow seeds in the fields outside the city, and constantly asked the people a lot of common sense about spring ploughing and production.

After Wu Shaogang arrived in Suining Fucheng, he almost did not stay in Fucheng, and was always in the fields.

Wu Shaogang's behavior surprised Li Siqi and the Suining prefect, but after accompanying them for a day or two, they slowly felt that Wu Shaogang was by no means a whim, but really wanted to understand many matters of spring ploughing.

Early in the morning of February 26, the officials of the Suining Prefecture left the city and came to the suburbs with many prefects.

Wu Shaogang was already waiting in the field.

This is a half-cultivated farmland, which is also a paddy field.

The ploughing oxen are waiting in the field, and the plough has been set, and a good-looking farmer is waiting on the side.

In the spring season, it is still a little cold.

After seeing everyone coming, Wu Shaogang didn't say much, took off his shoes, and walked straight to the ploughing cow.

When Wu Shao just helped the plough up, the honest farmers around him were a little panicked, and hurriedly prepared to lead the ploughing cattle.

Wu Shaogang did not stop the farmers' actions, after all, he was not familiar with the temperament and temperament of the ploughing cattle, and if he rashly controlled the ploughing cattle, he might not be able to plough the fields well.

When the buffalo went down to the field, Yuan Shichun and others hurriedly lifted the plow and put it in the paddy field.

The ploughing ox began to walk slowly towards the front, straightened Wu Shaogang, and began to plough the field with all his strength.

Everyone on both sides of the paddy field watched this scene silently.

Everyone didn't understand the meaning very well, but they all knew that Wu Shaogang was by no means doing it casually.

Ploughing is actually very hard, this is a typical physical labor, if there is no good physique, it is difficult to bear for a long time, and ploughing has a certain technical content, if you can not control the ploughing ox well, can not straighten the plough in your hand, can not skillfully force, it is not possible to plough the field well, in order to be able to demonstrate in front of many prefects and prefectures, Wu Shaogang followed the farmers for two days of study, before he was barely able to start plowing.

In fact, Wu Shaogang's action of plowing the field is already very standard, but everything he does, he is required to the highest standard, including plowing the field, by the fourth day, Wu Shaogang has been able to skillfully plough the field, and even a few skilled farmers who have been plowing the field for a long time are full of praise.

And when these peasant households learned that this young man who was dedicated to learning farming techniques was actually the deputy envoy of Sichuan and the defense envoy of Tongchuan Fulu, they were so surprised that they almost couldn't stand on their feet, they really didn't understand how such a big official could think of learning to cultivate the fields, and he was a person who did big things.

That is, in the process of ploughing the fields, Wu Shaogang humbly asked for advice on many matters related to spring ploughing.

Wu Shaogang, who has crossed over, is really not particularly familiar with farming, but only knows some fur, and many crops after a thousand years are not available now, including corn, sorghum, sweet potatoes and potatoes, etc., so relatively speaking, the basic knowledge of farmland cultivation is also simpler.

Wu Shaogang raised the whip in his hand and skillfully controlled the ploughing ox, his movements were very neat, and there was no performance of dragging mud and water.

Although some of the water in the paddy field has been released, the feet are still stepping on the silt, and if you want to cultivate the field well, you really need to pay attention to the connection of movements.

Many prefects and governors, stunned to see all this, the experience of the defense envoys, they know some of it, they used to be scholars, because of their family background, they joined the army, and later made great achievements in the army and were promoted.

No matter where he got the news, the young defense envoy in front of him had never been engaged in agricultural production.

Nowadays, it is not easy to defend the land so that the adults can skillfully cultivate the farmland.

When drops of sweat fell from his forehead, Wu Shaogang had already cultivated two rounds.

The ploughing cattle need to rest, and Wu Shaogang does not need to continue farming.

After going ashore, Wu Shaogang looked at everyone and spoke slowly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you may think it is strange that this official asked you to rush to Suining, is it possible to watch this official plough the fields here, isn't it too child's play, you don't know how many important things need to be dealt with, but this official still let you come to see, because this official thought of one thing, one of the most important things, that is, we all have to eat, if there is no food, whether it is the adults in the court or the farmers in the fields, they will not be able to live."

"The poem "Compassion for Nong" by the Tang Dynasty poet Li Shen should all be known: the father ploughed the plains and went to the fields, the son cut the mountains and went to the wasteland, the He was not shown in June, and the official family had repaired the warehouse. On the afternoon of hoeing day, sweat drops into the soil. Who knows that Chinese food is hard work. Sell new silk in February, and sell new grain in May, heal the sores in front of your eyes, but strip the flesh of your heart. I want the king's heart to be turned into a candle of light, and not to shine on the feast, but on the house of escape. ”

"It's a pity that in the eyes of this official, the vast majority of people know the truth of this time, but there are too few officials who are really willing to do practical things for the people and are willing to take into account the suffering of the people."

"The people are our food and clothing, without the people's labor, where do we come from to eat and clothe, today I have been working in the fields for half an hour, I have felt extremely tired, but many people and peasant households, year after year, every year are such hard work, but many of us think that peasant households should work."

"Maybe those people's understanding can't be said to be wrong, soldiers should defend their families and defend the country and sacrifice their lives on the battlefield, scholars should be loyal to the emperor and the imperial court, govern the locality, and farmers should cultivate the fields well and pay taxes."

"What this official wants to tell you today is that there is nothing that should be, since ancient times, there have been countless rebellious peasants, and even the rule of the critical dynasty, why they rebelled, it is because they can't live anymore, the truth is that Li Shen's poem "Compassion for Nong" is very clear."

"Therefore, this official believes that the government at all levels, as well as many officials, are indifferent to the farmers and do not know what to do with the spring ploughing, which is actually indifference to themselves." (To be continued.) )
