At this time, Liu Cong understood: "Damn! This person, no matter who he is, what he lives on in this life may be brought by the next life. It seems that it is not possible to let these pheasants farm the fields. Just like the bustard said, let them tickle the man, and if you don't get rid of this, you can't do anything. ”

Liu Cong was a little frustrated when he thought of this, but no matter what happened, Liu Cong never refused to admit defeat.

I saw him gritting his teeth and muttering to himself: "I don't believe it, Tuntian is not only cultivated land, but also has many other jobs, harvesting and drying these jobs, pheasants can do it!" Later, they will arrange other farm work for them. ”

Thinking of this, Liu Cong threw aside the idea of mobilizing the pheasants, and came over to squat and talk to Ma Wu.

Liu Cong asked: "Ma Wu, how many days a year do you do to raise this bullock?" ”

"Master, in fact, you can't do a few days of work to raise cattle, but you keep them. My family planted fifteen acres of land, and it was finished in five days in the spring. Autumn ploughing is also five days. Over the course of a year, the bullock only worked for ten days. ”

Liu Cong didn't believe it and asked, "More than that, right?" Isn't this raised for nothing? A busy year. ”

Ma Wu said that this is true.

Liu Cong was inspired: "This is good." There are millions of peasant households in Jingzhou, and it is said that there are 500,000 heads of cattle for two households. Hehe, since every family is idle in farming, why not negotiate leasing it to the yamen for farming? ”

Liu Cong thought of this, so he told Ma Wu, Ma Wuyi listened, his eyes widened, and said: "Master, if the yamen rents a cultivated cattle, I won't go to the brothel to work."

Every spring and autumn, I can rent people and cattle to the yamen for farming, as long as the price is right! ”

Liu Cong jumped up and shouted, "It's done." Who said it can't be done in Jingzhou Tuntian? No, after investigation, the land is there; Ploughing cattle with agricultural equipment; The labor force is hundreds of thousands of troops. With all three factors in place, what are you waiting for? When I returned to the yamen, I immediately arranged the tuntian. ”

The next morning, Liu Cong thought on the way back to Xinye: "Well, today is the New Year, the last day of the ninth year of Jian'an."

A few days ago, he ordered Pang Tong Xu Shu to rush to write the "Tuntian Order" and "Tuntian Work Rules" overnight, I don't know how these two old men are doing. Let's take a look at the past and finalize these two documents today. ”

Liu Cong thought like this, and entered the Xinye Yamen.

Although there is still half an hour before the time to go to work, everyone came early today, Huang Zhong, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Zhou Cang, Mi Zhu, Mi Fang, Sun Qian, Jian Yong have all arrived.

When Liu Cong entered the door, he saw everyone in a circle, surrounding Pang Tong and Xu Shu in the middle, where they were discussing the "Tuntian Work Rules" written by the two of them.

Seeing Liu Cong coming in, everyone got up and came over to greet him.

Liu Cong said hello, and took the manuscript of "Tuntian Order" from Xu Shu's hand.

Pang Tong said on the side: "This "Tuntian Order" was written by me and Xu Yuanzhi together, according to the will drawn up by the lord, and with reference to Cao Cao's "Tuntian Order", combined with the actual situation of Xinye Tuntian. I don't know if I can express your thoughts completely and accurately. Please review it. ”

Liu Cong took it and looked at it from the beginning, only to see that the sentences were vivid, quite imposing, and very motivating.

I just felt that this "Tuntian Order" did not explain the necessity of Tuntian very clearly, so I said: "It needs to be revised." The importance of Tuntian should be written in detail, mainly to write about Cao Cao's nature and sinister intentions four years later. In this way, the people of Jingzhou formed a sense of terror towards Cao Cao - Cao Cao was a man-eating demon who had slaughtered the city in a frenzy when he attacked Xuzhou.

What is the slaughter of the city? It is to kill innocents indiscriminately, and to kill the occupied cities to the point that no chickens and dogs are left.

It's a fact. The people of Jingzhou have also heard about it for a long time.

Now it can be vigorously rendered, depicting Cao Cao as a demon who eats human flesh, and to make it clear - three years later, Cao Cao must come to slaughter the city of Jingzhou.

The slaughter of Jingzhou is to kill all the old, weak, sick and disabled and men in Jingzhou, leaving only women, leaving the unbeautiful to Cao Bing to scourge, and the beautiful Cao Cao himself to be his wife.

Only when it is written in this way can the people of Jingzhou be frightened and panicked all day long.

Then he pointed out a way for the people of Jingzhou to save themselves - to respond to the call of the yamen and actively participate in the reclamation of the wasteland. Efforts were made to build Jingzhou into a base for resisting Cao Xinghan. The soldiers and soldiers in the construction of the base areas are sufficient.

Only in this way can Cao Cao be defeated after four years, can he save his own life, and can he live a stable and happy life. ”

After listening to this, everyone present felt that the portrayal of Cao Cao as a demon who ate human flesh and drank human blood was too exaggerated and untrue, and they were afraid that the people of Jingzhou would not believe it, but it was inconvenient for them to speak.

Liu Cong saw everyone's thoughts from his expressions, so he smiled and said, "I know that everyone doesn't agree with portraying Cao Cao like this—portraying Cao Cao too much is hard for people to believe."

However, it must be done.

Cao Cao once attacked Xuzhou three times in a row in the name of avenging his father, and each time he carried out the means of slaughtering the city, which is also rare in history.

This shows Cao Cao's ferocious and vicious nature, and it is definitely not too much to say that he is a jackal.

What is the difference between a jackal and a demon? Same. It's just that demons are more powerful than jackals.

Therefore, Cao Cao must be portrayed as a demon in the "Tuntian Order", otherwise it will not let the people of Jingzhou have a correct understanding of him, and it will not arouse people's fear and resistance against him.

Also, Cao Cao's lust is recognized by the world, and the war he fought was not related to women?

That time you didn't take the beautiful women among the prisoners of war for yourself?

He has to use the daughter-in-law of Brother Yuan Shao for his own use, not to mention other beautiful women.

Therefore, the outline of the "Tuntian Order" that I have drawn up must be like this.

Okay, that's all for the time being. Pang Shiyuan and Xu Yuan directly modified it. ”

Then, Liu Cong and Jingzhou Yamen discussed in detail the "Tuntian Work Rules".

By the evening, the two documents of the "Tuntian Order" and the "Tuntian Work Rules" were all completed.

Liu Cong looked at the two documents on the case, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The next step is basically sorted out, well, very good." Tomorrow is the first day of the first lunar month, a good day. It has been ten years since Jian'an, and the first day of the first month of the tenth year of Jian'an. ”

When Liu Cong said this, his heart became anxious again: "There are still a little more than three years to go, and the work in Tuntian has not yet begun!" ”

Liu Cong thought of this and ordered: "Copy two copies of these two documents overnight, and send someone to send one to Xiangyang Yamen tomorrow, and order Liu Bei to copy the documents and deliver them to all counties." By the 15th day of the first lunar month, all counties and counties must carry out the work of reclamation of wasteland and farmland. ”

Pang Tong Xu Shu promised to go to the side and do so.

Liu Cong opened the door and looked outside, only to see that the sun was already on the peak of the West Mountain, and he sighed: "The ninth year of Jian'an is about to pass!" Speaking of this, he looked back at everyone and said to himself: "These guys live in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and I don't know what kind of food they eat at home for the New Year." ”

Liu Cong thought of this with some disdain: "I've never seen them eat steamed buns, let alone dumplings and noodles." Well, there is wheat, but just mash the wheat and put it in a pot and boil it, just like making rice. To be honest, I'm really not used to crossing over! I can't even eat a stir-fry. Sometimes there are fish and meat, but how can people be so stupid at this time? It's just going to be boiled in a pot, steamed, stir-fried, and fried, but it's not going to be, it's fucking stupid! Alas! ”

Liu Cong sighed and remembered to spend the Spring Festival at home before the crossing: "What kind of life is that?" Well, I'll watch TV and go out and set off firecrackers for a while. Mom and Dad beckoned to eat. Wow, when I entered the door, the table was full of chickens, fish, geese and ducks, all steaming, my father drank, I ate and drank drinks, and my mother served while eating, I would pick and choose, I thought it was not delicious, it was too salty. Well, what is this for? It's good now, in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he was also in charge of Jingzhou, and he became such a big official, but he couldn't even eat delicious food. ”

Thinking of this, Liu Cong smiled and said, "Yes! Treat them to a dumpling! ”

Then he turned around and ordered, "Everyone wait here, and I'll go to the room to have a look." Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, I cook a good meal and invite everyone. After speaking, he instructed Liang Zhu'er to rely on the fat man: "Go, go with me." ”

Liu Cong came to the room in a hurry, and saw two cooks washing rice and vegetables and preparing dinner.

Liu Cong asked: "Is there white noodles?" The cook stared at him in a daze. Liu Cong knew that they didn't understand, and asked, "Is there wheat noodles?" The cook untied the noodle bowl and asked Liu Cong to see it.

When Liu Cong saw that there was mashed wheat in the jar and white wheat bran in one piece, he frowned and ordered, "Take the dustpan." ”

The cook handed the dustpan, and Liu Cong used the dustpan to make a few catties of white noodles, and instructed the cook to cut vegetables and season them. However, there are no condiments, only salty salt and broth.

Liu Cong muttered a sentence and told the cooks how to do it, and when it was dark, hundreds of dumplings were finally made. 012
