Once the seeds of the clover have been obtained, how to plant them is a big problem. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Naturally, there is no problem in Count Xiaotang's own manor, it is Count Xiaotang's private land, and he can do as much harm as he wants. But outside the estate, the majority of the farmers are reluctant to plant the grass.

What the? Every year, grass is planted in the ground - rubbing, weeds are planted! I can't finish hoeing, but now I want to sow seeds into the ground? This alone is incomprehensible to the peasants. Besides, we all know that planting things will consume the land, and if you want to have a decent harvest when you sow grain next time, you have to put it away, you have to put it away, at least for a year, two years better, don't plant anything!

These are the experiences and lessons that have been passed down from generation to generation, and the farmers firmly believe in the traditions and experiences passed down from their ancestors, and these traditions and experiences do have some truth, they are all exchanged for human life and sweat, and cannot be changed in the previous era, the old era. But now these are in the past, decades have passed since the millennium, a new era has arrived, new technologies have appeared, and the peasants are still stubbornly rejecting new things, and Count Don has nothing to do with them.

What do you want Count Don to do with them? They did not rebel, nor did they fail to pay taxes, they were all good citizens who abided by the law and the law. The reason why they are reluctant to plant clover is just so that next year's harvest can be better and they can eat a full meal.

Therefore, the little Count Tang was helpless against them.

But fortunately, under the command of Count Don, there is a group of fierce and undisciplined knights.

This kind of clover thing is related to the knights' own interests - Count Don Jr. promised the knights three or seven points of honey, Count Don Jr. seven, knights three, this is amazing, it is simply the original joint-stock system has appeared! And the knights got this promise, and they were even more eager to uproot all the crops in Desmond, mobilize all the manpower, and plant all the land with clover!

Fortunately, these knights are still pressed by Count Xiao Tang, so they didn't dare to be so presumptuous, and more or less after all, there are a few people who are still sane and can control them a little.

Since there is no way to plant all the clover, then you can only plant it on abandoned land, and you must plant it quickly, otherwise the season will pass, and this year's honey harvest will not be harvested! As a result, the red-eyed knights were all in their own way, and they could even be divided into three factions: the intimidation faction, dominated by the old knights, the moderates, dominated by Philip, and the pragmatists, dominated by the Count Don and the knights of Olcoba.

"Hurry up and get to work! You pigs! Don't you see the whip in my hand? If one of them slacks off a bit, my whip won't be polite! ”

This is intimidation, under the shouts of a certain knight, the cultivation of clover has indeed made progress, but intimidation does not make these farmers devote themselves wholeheartedly, and the whipping of the leather whip, this is not a joke, even if it is just ten strokes, it can make a man in the prime of life lie in bed for ten days and half a month - this is equivalent to the loss of another labor!

Therefore the knights did not dare to whip too harshly, and the peasants, knowing this, immediately became even more slack, and the knights of the intimidation faction were helpless, so the knights of the other faction, the moderate ones, came into play.

"Folks, friends, what are we planting now? Some people say it's a weed, but I can tell them plainly that it's not a weed, on the contrary, it's God's gospel to us! With this kind of grass, we can raise more cattle, raise more sheep, raise more chickens and ducks, and if there are more cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks, we will all be able to live better, and even ordinary people will be able to eat meat! Besides, this grass can still produce honey! Folks, what is honey? Honey is sugar, it is sweet, honey is a cure, honey is a treasure of God......"

That's it, the moderate knights did their best. Their minions, their friends, and even their slaves, were mobilized, and they stood in front of or on both sides of the road, every day, every hour, and every hour, and said so much that they said it hundreds of times a day, until at last they themselves were hypnotized.

So what about the effect of this hypnotic persuasion? It must be said that it is indeed much stronger than the previous intimidation faction, and many peasants, including those who had not worked hard and were whipped before, knew the benefits of this grass, the clover, so they naturally became active, and the progress was quickened -- but -- but the good times were not long-lasting.

I don't know when rumors began to spread among the peasants, and a few shabbyly dressed peasants sneaked through the crowd and said to the people around them: "Do you really believe the words of these high-ranking knights? Why are you so stupid! How can there be such a good thing in the world, not only can raise cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks, but also produce honey, how can there be such a good thing! If there were, wouldn't it have been discovered a long time ago? Besides, even if you take 10,000 steps back, you think that what this group of knights said is true, so what does it have to do with us? With more cattle, more sheep, more chickens and ducks, and more honey, what does it have to do with us? Can we take a bite? Or can we take a sip? Haven't we all been taken away by this group of knights in the end after such hard work, wasn't there enough such a lesson before? ”

Most of the peasants would be persuaded - or at least they would be silent if a few asked, "How could they take them all?" Even the knight lord can only take half of our harvest every year, and he can always leave us a little. ”

At this point, the goss-mongers would have a look that we often see, a mixture of disdain, contempt, and the look of those who thought they had the truth, and they scoffed at the rebuttal of a few peasants, and then said almost through their nostrils: "Why are you still so naïve?!" Don't you know! Wherever and wherever such and such a knight, because a peasant's wife is more beautiful, because a merchant's family is richer, because a certain hunt is lost to another knight, they will go to the house of a peasant or a rich merchant, and they will burn and rob all the property of these poor people, and not only that, but they will also take the lives of these poor people! How can you still trust them! ”

Truth be told, there is some basis for what these rumors are saying. The world is so big, there is always one or two rats that ruin the whole pot of soup. Besides, in this era, these rats are not one or two, but one or two hundred, one or two thousand, and they almost squeeze the pot out of soup! For example, even the knights under the command of the Count of Don the Younger, didn't they rob the entire monastery because they coveted the wealth of the monastery? And the moral standard of the knights under Count Xiao Tang is already higher than that of most knights in this era!

At this point in the conversation, even the peasants who supported the knights should be silent, but there are always some people, such as some half-grown people, who are always heroes and martial arts worshippers, and these boys will say, "How do you know these things?" You're just like me, you haven't traveled far or seen the world, and you're just hearsay. ”

Now these rumor-mongers are getting impatient, saying in a unique, adult-like tone to a child: "You know what! You also deserve the surname Zhao? ”

That's it, although a few people may be unconvinced in their hearts, but these rumors have penetrated into the hearts of most people, so these few people, they can't do anything, they can only obey the group, so the speed of clover planting has slowed down visibly again.

The moderate knight naturally found out about this situation, but he also had nothing to do to find the rumor-monger? There are so many farmers here, and the territory is so big, where are you going to find them? So how about stopping the spread of rumors? Let's not say that the rumor spreader is not caught, and if you stop one, he can make ten, just the peasants, they are inherently distrustful, and even resistant to knights, because peasants and knights are not in the same class, and humans are always inclined to believe in those they want to believe.

That's it, the moderates, after holding out for a while, had to declare defeat. Thus, after the successive failures of both the intimidators and the moderates, the last faction, the pragmatists, finally came into play.

Some people may say, you are all intimidating moderates, shouldn't this one be called pragmatists?

But there are so many pies, and there are apple pie, curry pie, pear pie, strawberry pie, pork pie, how can you share them. Besides, pragmatists, they can't be assigned, pragmatists have always been what is easy to use, what is convenient to use, there is no fixed policy, if you really want to divide, maybe you can call a ******!

In the beginning, the pragmatists also resorted to intimidation, which was the way they were most accustomed and skilled, and they achieved some results; Then, after the peasants slackened, the pragmatists immediately turned into the hypnosis of the moderates, and now they are no different from those of the first two factions - but, as soon as the rumors appeared, the pragmatists sprang into action.

They first have to look for the source of the rumors, but as we said before, how can you possibly find a drop of water in a sea of water? This effort soon failed; The pragmatists then tried to stop the rumors, but again, the peasants did not trust them, and the operation failed.

This is the limit of moderates, but the pragmatists, they are completely different, and after realizing that their efforts to dispel the rumors have failed, these pragmatists quickly come up with another solution: they no longer let the local villagers cultivate the local land, they transfer the people from village A to village B, and they transfer the people from village B to village C, and then they transfer people from village C to village A, and then they say to the people of these three villages: "You cultivate each other's land, and we are in charge of overseeing it. The fastest and best village among you will be rewarded with half of the tax cut, and the slowest and dragging village will be punished by half of the tax. ”

In this way, these farmers go out to cultivate the fields during the day and return to the villages at night. They were working in other villages, and no one could tell them how much they had done, and they knew how much they had worked in the other two villages, but they knew that they couldn't be left behind—at least not last, or else the tax would be increased by half, and it would be a matter of human life!

Therefore, these peasants will work hard during the day, and when they go back at night, they will measure how much land the other two villages have cultivated, and those who are temporarily ahead will work harder to prevent them from falling behind, and the last one will not be able to work hard, but will work hard!

Under such competition, the cultivation of clover has become very rapid, and the farmers are so busy that they have no time to listen to the boring gossip - they have no time to work, so how can they bother to go?

On the other hand, in order to prevent malicious competition and secretly pull out the seeds that have been planted at night, the pragmatists also specially sent a lot of servants to patrol at night and arrest every suspicious prisoner. And these servants are generally not in a very good mood - if you try to stay up in the middle of the night without sleeping as a security guard, and have to accept the wind and rain and mosquito bites in the wild, it is strange that you can be in a good mood!

So these servants were absolutely merciless, and they were usually very ruthless, and after sending five or six people to lie on the bed in a row, the peasants finally learned to farm honestly and seriously.

As a result, the full planting of the clover was finally completed before the end of the season.

Ps1: I saw a book a few days ago, in which the protagonist's subordinates are always loyal, and the peasants are always obedient, and when they build factories casually, the peasants honestly go in and work as sweatworkers - you must know that during the American Civil War, the slaves in the South would rather continue to be slaves than be emancipated into the factories. Because the slave is the private property of the slave owner, and the death of one is the loss of the slave owner, and the slave owner easily refuses to let the slave die! Moreover, the slave owner had to take care of the daily food and drink of the slaves, while the factory owner did not have to take care of this. At that time, when I entered the factory, I was a human when I went in, and when I came out, I became a ghost!

The main purpose of writing this chapter is this: the changes of the times, any bit of progress is difficult, as a qualified ruler, you must not only intrigue with your subordinates, you also have to entangle with the peasants, otherwise it will always be orders from above, and the lower ones will either not convey or expand, the former one can be said to be the situation in our country in recent years, and the latter one, yes, I am talking about buzzing.

Ps2: it, I finally signed a contract, I found out that I did a big death again, but it doesn't matter, do you have any recommended votes to collect clicks or something, don't be stingy, all happily throw them over and smash me!
