This Tuntian's **, since the conquest of Fancheng, has been entangled in Liu Cong's heart, making him unable to get rid of it.

Liu Cong is sensible, he knows that in order to defeat Cao Cao in three years, he must seize the time to strengthen Jingzhou's power, and to strengthen Jingzhou and strength, the first step must be to have enough soldiers.

However, in the past few years, Jingzhou Yamen has become increasingly sluggish and ineffective, so that Jingzhou's agriculture, like all walks of life, has been sluggish. At present, the situation in Jingzhou has developed to this point, and the reclamation of farmland has become a top priority.

Therefore, after Liu Cong conquered Fancheng, he didn't even bother to go back to Xiangyang, so he hurried to Xinye, thinking that just before this New Year, he would decide the matter of reclamation of barren tuntian in Xinye.

However, it has been two days since I came, and the official Tuntian matter has not yet begun, and it is only brewing, which is like pouring cold water on Liu Cong.

At first, it was Pang Tong Xu Shu's negative attitude that made Liu Cong resentful.

You must know that Liu Cong's hope for Xinye Tuntian was basically pinned on Pang Tong Xu Shu, so after being poured cold water, Liu Cong took corresponding measures to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, which alarmed the two of them, and now, these two guys finally face the matter of Tuntian honestly.

Just now, these two guys talked about the difficulties of Tuntian, and looking at that attitude, it seems that Liu Cong's Tuntian plan will be abolished here.

Liu Cong will not be easily denied, he knows that he is presiding over one of the major events in Kyushu in the world, so he should be assertive, qualitative, and make decisions, and no one else is allowed to change them casually.

As a result, Liu Cong expressed his attitude of resolutely implementing Tuntian.

After this attitude suppressed Pang Tong and Xu Shu and other ordinary yamen officials, Liu Cong stood up and ordered: "Regarding the matter of Tuntian, I have already expressed my attitude. In this way, Pang Tong Xu Shu could not stay in the city to prepare for the New Year in the days before this New Year. Go down to the countryside to investigate and find a solution to the difficulties in Tuntian.

Also, at the same time, write out the Tuntian order. After it was written, we were still here, and we met again to study and formulate a work plan for Tuntian. ”

Pang Tong Xu Shu smiled bitterly and said, "Lord, this matter is difficult to handle. There are three things that must be possessed to successfully farm the land, one is labor, the second is land, and the third is tools such as ploughing cattle. We don't have any of these three things, so how do we make this plan? ”

Liu Cong replied without changing his face: "It's up to you to decide how to make it, don't ask me." ”

After Liu Cong finished speaking, he ignored Pang Tong Xu Shu again, and just instructed Huang Zhong to say something, which meant that he was not going to spend the Spring Festival in Xinye, and he wanted to go out to investigate the affairs of Tuntian.

Liu Cong said, got up and took the pillar Lai Fat Man out of the yamen.

After Liu Cong left the Yamen, he did not go home, but went out of the south gate of Xinye and walked to a farmland in front of him.

Out of the south gate of Xinye, there are wheat fields on both sides of the road in front of you.

This year is a warm winter, there is very little snow in the area of Xinye, but because of the abundant rain in autumn, so the moisture of the wheat field is good at this time.

Liu Cong's mood improved, he quickened his pace, came to the wheat field, squatted down, gently brushed the soil with his right hand, and when the wheat seedlings showed their roots, Liu Cong pinched a wheat seedling and pulled it up.

Fortunately, the wheat field was not frozen deeply, and the wheat seedlings were pulled out completely.

This person is also strange, and he generally doesn't pay attention to things that have nothing to do with him. Let's just say Liu Cong, before the crossing, he lived in the countryside, at that time the mountains were full of wheat fields, probably because of the commonplace reasons, Liu Cong never observed a wheat seedling with his eyes.

Today, because we are going to implement Tuntian, why do you see this wheat seedling being so affectionate?

At this time, Liu Cong admired it repeatedly, and after admiring it for a while, he suddenly remembered the words of a great man before the crossing, "Without investigation and research, there is no right to speak!" ”

Liu Cong jumped up, clapped his hands together a few times, and sighed: "Oops! The words of the big man just make sense, isn't it? That's the point for today. I can't imagine that what people said 2,000 years later is also instructive today. It's really 'one size fits all'. ”

Liu Cong sighed and laughed out loud here: "What is applicable everywhere, it's just that it just matches the specific situation in front of me." Yes, since Pang Tong and Xu Shu, the two rotten Confucian bastards, have been emphasizing that they cannot be tuntian, and that Jingzhou does not have the tuntian factor, why don't I go out and go to the countryside to investigate and study to see if there is idle land, whether there is idle cattle farming tools and labor. ”

When Liu Cong thought of this, he immediately became full of confidence: "Jingzhou's territory is thousands of miles away, and millions of people are thriving, will it have no idle land?" These millions of people have reclaimed all the land? ”

Liu Cong asked himself, looked away from the wheat field, and when he looked into the distance, he saw that there were really large areas of wasteland up and down the undulating hills. Liu Cong thought: "Aren't these lands idle? Why not reclaim it? Thinking of this, he felt that he didn't know much about the ownership of this land, so he muttered: "Go down to investigate, investigate and study, and determine it first, and see if there is any land that can be cultivated." ”

Liu Cong decided, so he instructed Lai Fat Liang Zhu'er: "Go home." Pack up and go to the countryside tomorrow to inspect Tuntian. After that, he turned around and walked ahead, bowing his head and thinking as he went: "The land issue has not yet been decided, but as long as there is idle land, I have a way to expropriate it." ”

Liu Cong walked and thought, put the land issue aside for the time being, and thought, "The next problem?" It's labor. Labor issues do not have to be examined. The main force is more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Jingzhou. Right! The final issue is the tool of production - the ploughing cattle and farming tools. ”

Liu Cong thought too much for a while, and his brain was a little messy, so he smiled and persuaded himself: "Don't be so fucking anxious, you can't eat rotten tofu in a hurry." Take your time, have time. Anyway, when I go to the countryside tomorrow to investigate, I will find the answers to these questions. Well, let's go home and get some rest. ”

So Liu Cong raised his head and looked forward to walk, and suddenly found himself in a fireworks alley.

This fireworks alley is called Yanliuju, a narrow alley, where dozens of pheasants live.

Because this smoke willow house happened to be on the side of Liu Cong's way home, Liu Cong lowered his head and thought about the problem all the way, and actually strayed into this alley and had already walked in.

Hearing a few warblers, Liu Cong turned his head to look, only to see a few pheasants going out to greet him.

Liu Cong had a whim: "A few days ago, I knew that there was this smoke and willow residence in this Xinye, but I listened to Liang Zhu'er and Lai Fatzi's nonsense. Presumably these two boys have done good things. Since I've come here, it's not dark yet, why don't I go in and rest and relax. ”006
