Chapter 41: Spring Ploughing
Hearing Xu Zhongjun say this, Wang Dou said: "Lord Hui, I have asked people to buy a batch of millet and millet seeds, and they can be cultivated immediately, but the plough and ploughshare are a little insufficient. ”
Zhang Gui next to him sneered: "What a big stroke." ”
Thinking that day, he allocated to Wang Dou ten military households, five cows, one stone of rice, fifteen hoes, and a thousand households were not as big as his own handwriting, Zhang Gui couldn't help but be proud.
Du Zhen glanced at Zhang Gui with gloomy eyes, and seeing that Xu Zhongjun was not good, Du Gong stepped forward and explained: "At present, there is also a lack of cattle and farming tools in our fort, and many tunbao often come to beg for it, so ......"
Xu Zhongjun was silent, and when Du Zhen and Du Gong were uneasy, he said lightly: "Allocate another twenty ploughing oxen and plough tools and Wang Zongqi Fort." ”
Du Gong said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, the lowly province can be saved, the lowly province can be saved, and it will be dialed down immediately after returning to the fort." ”
Xu Zhongjun looked around at everyone and said meaningfully: "Talents are rare, and there are few dedicated people, so everyone should help more." ”
A piece of response to the harmony, many pairs of jealous eyes are looking at Wang Dou, Shangguan is so appreciative, it seems that this Wang Dou Fei Huang Tengda is only on the same day.
Over there, Du Zhen and Du Gong glanced at each other, and both of them looked at Wang Dou deeply.
Xu Zhongjun summoned Wang Dou again, looked at him and said, "Wang Dou, as long as you do your best to the tuntian, this official will definitely support you fully." ”
Wang Dou thanked him deeply: "Thank you for the love of the defense lord, and I will do my best to do a good job in the tuntian in the fort." ”
Xu Zhongjun nodded with satisfaction.
……
After the inspection, Xu Zhongjun and his party returned to the fort, Wang Dou, of course, killed pigs and sheep, and feasted this group in the official hall. ”
Qi Tianliang stood in front of Wang Dou and shouted loudly at the military households in front of him.
Wang Dou sat firmly on a chair, and Han Chao and Zhong Tiaoyang stood next to him and watched. Beside Wang Dou, there was also a table, and Zhong Rong was registering the rice, grain, and farm tools received by the military households one by one.
A few days ago, after the military households divided the fields, today Wang Dou divided the ploughing oxen and plough tools among them, seeds, rice, and grain. In order to show fairness, everyone drew lots to decide the ownership of the cattle, so that everyone would not compete for the strong cattle, and the thinner cattle were not wanted.
Of course, after the oxen and plough were separated, like the waterwheels outside, they were only leased in the fort, and the ownership still belonged to the tunpu. In the future, everyone should also be kind to the cattle, and every few months someone from the fort will go down to check on it. In addition, the military households also borrowed rice grain one by one to serve as their rations before the autumn harvest.
Wang Dou sat on the chair and looked down, and all the military households below were overjoyed, and they were all grateful when they were given ploughing oxen and plows. With the fields and the ploughing tools that are now divided, the happy life of the wives and children will accompany them in the future.
Wang Dou lamented that his land policy had come to an end, and after the fields were divided into households, what life they would live in the future could only depend on these military households themselves. However, history proves that after owning the land, the great enthusiasm of the yeoman farmers and their desperate spirit to defend their own interests.
When the military households divided the cattle and ploughs, the craftsmen also watched enviously below, and whispered a few words from time to time. Of course, although they did not get the land to plough the cattle, Wang Dou would give them a stable ration every month, and they would be rewarded for their good work, and they were also very satisfied with their current life.
Wang Douji decided that in the future, the affairs of the tuntian in the fort will be supervised and supervised by Qi Tianliang, in addition to urging the military households to cultivate diligently, what public construction in the fort will be in the future, Qi Tianliang will also urge the military households to send Dingkou to serve.
It is impossible for Wang Dou to deal with everything by himself, and there are only a few old people around him. Among the people, Qi Tianliang is more proficient in farming, plus his literacy, who will he hand over the matter of tuntian in the fort to him?
Therefore, in addition to managing the affairs of the baggage team, Qi Tianliang will be in charge of the tuntian and other affairs in the fort in the future. Of course, he also considered this problem, but if he wanted to take off production to raise these three teams of soldiers, he would have to give them at least one stone of grain and rice every month, so as to make up for the losses caused by their family's Dingkou, as well as their weapons, armor, horses, beans, etc., all of which were a lot of money.
Maybe it's time for me to crack down on the bandits a few more times.
……
In the spring ploughing season, while the military households in Jingbianbao were working intensively, Wang Dou also went home to help for a few days.
At present, the winter wheat has begun to return to green joints, which is the key to top dressing and weeding, people say that the spring rain is "as expensive as oil", as in previous years, this year's security around the rain is still not much, and it still needs to be watered.
Fortunately, the Wang family's land has been irrigated wells, and with the help of Wang Dou, Han Chao, Han Zhong, Gao Shiyin, and Zhong Tiaoyang, the dozens of acres of land of the Wang family were easily and quickly completed. There is no need for the two women Zhong and Xie Xiuniang to go to the field to help.
In addition, Wang Dou also bought 20 acres of wasteland on the west bank of the Dongfang River at the beginning of the year, but Wang Dou still let the land be abandoned there for the time being, and when the land and population increase in the future, he will consider building a farm there.
……
On the day of Qingming, the spring plowing and sowing of the military households in Jingbianbao has all ended.
On the day of Qingming, Wang Dou gave the military households a two-day holiday, and at the same time, he also went home to sweep the tombs and worship his deceased father and ancestors.
On the third day, Wang Dou decided to organize the manpower of the whole fort to start building the fort wall.
