Chapter 017 Cultivated Land Competition
Today is the fourth day of the first lunar month, and it has been ten years since Jian'an.
The generals from all walks of life north of Hanshui had come to the Xinye Yamen at this time, preparing to participate in the Tuntian Conference in the Xinye area.
These generals included Huang Zhong, the head of the Yamen in the Xinye region,
Pang Tong, the new head of Tuntian, and Xu Shu, the deputy head of Yamen,
The chief general of the Queweipo garrison, Xing Daorong,
Liu Xian, the chief general of the Deng County garrison,
Liu Bin, the chief general of the Partridge Barracks,
Liu Feng, the chief general of the eastern suburbs of Fancheng,
Guan Ping, the main general with troops in the west of Fancheng,
Wei Yan, the commander of the Fancheng garrison,
Zhao Yun, the commander of the two armies of Fangling Shangyong,
Gong Zhi, the head of the garrison of Nanxiang County.
The meeting was chaired by veteran general Huang Zhong.
Liu Cong made a brief speech explaining the importance of Tuntian and emphasizing the discipline of Tuntian's work.
Then, there was Pang Tong, the chief manager of Tuntian in Xinye District, who made arrangements for the work of Tuntian.
I saw Pang Tong looking at the officials with a calm face and said: "On the orders of the lord, the work arrangements for Tuntian are now announced, please listen." ”
Pang Tong explained a series of issues, such as the location and tasks of the people and horses of various walks of life in the future, the form of land reclamation, the mode of cooperation with the villagers, the lease agreement for ploughing cattle, and the method for purchasing agricultural tools.
Finally, Huang Zhong announced that the second item of the meeting was that all the officials would go to the banks of the Yushui River to demonstrate the cultivation technology.
Regarding this second item, Pang Tong made an explanation, saying: "The procedure of this meeting was arranged according to the proposal of the lord. The purpose is to further set off the upsurge of tuntian work through the ploughing competition. I hope that all the generals will actively participate, and when the time comes, those who perform well will be rewarded by the main guild. ”
So, the main generals of the garrisons from all walks of life followed Liu Cong to the bank of the Yushui River.
At this time, the demonstration venue had already been arranged on the bank of the Yushui River.
Although it is winter, there is a large sandy beach on the banks of the Yusui River. The beach is not freezing, and it is very suitable for demonstration of ploughing technology.
There were hundreds of middle- and lower-ranking officers who had come from the quarters of the people, and they had already lined up and stood up.
There are also thousands of soldiers and horses from the garrison of Xinye City, who have also lined up to fence off the competition venue.
In the middle of the field, there is a row of ten bullocks, each of which has been put on a plow, and behind the plough stands a fierce Jingzhou soldier, holding the plough and pulling the rope. In front of the head of the ox, the owner of each family of the bulls, at this time also held the reins of the healthy oxen in his hand, and stood straight.
After Liu Cong came, he stood on a high place and looked at it like this, and he became happy, and said to himself: "Well, the fellows are very obedient." When you say you come, you come when you come, and you do what you do. It's not, hahahaha. Ma Wu stood in the first place. Ding Pimple stood in second place. Li Dayan stood in third place. Green cow ear, well, standing in fourth place?????? Yes, damn it. Who's the last one? Oh, one-eyed dragon, haha, didn't he say he couldn't come? Why is it here again today? Well, it must have been Ma Wu who persuaded him to come. ”
When Liu Cong looked at the ten bulls again, he saw that the bulls all had a pair of curved horns on their heads, like two sharp daggers.
Seeing this, Liu Cong took a breath of cool air and said to himself: "Now I have to tell the officers of these competitions not to suffer the loss of the Qianniu." If one of the horns of this bullock were to be poked into the stomach, it would be fatal. If you can't get it right, you can pick out the intestines. ”
Liu Cong was thinking about walking like this, and he had already reached the edge of the arena.
I saw a big red flower hanging on the head of each bullock.
In the onlookers, dozens of military flags fluttered gently against the northwest wind, and the soldiers were neat and their morale was high.
Liu Cong liked it more and more when he saw it, and muttered, "That's it." If the army is like this, what will it do? To fight, you have to fight hard; Tuntian, you have to be serious. This is an army that can come when called, can fight, and can win in battle. ”
Happy to this, when Liu Cong looked at the bully again, he saw that the bullock was very restless, one by one seemed to have a cold, the nose was not breathable, and they kept making a low "moo, moo". Screams.
Liu Cong listened impatiently, turned his face and asked Huang Zhong: "What are these few bullocks mooing all the time?" ”
"Hehe, these beasts are like this, as long as the males get together, they have to fight. Fortunately, now is not the estrus period, if it is the estrus period, ten bullocks together, it will not be able to produce results - either death or injury. ”
As soon as Huang Zhong prompted like this, Liu Cong understood: "Yes." When it comes to estrus, it's really a life-and-death struggle. ”
At this time, the officer on duty came over and asked: "Under Liu Degui, please tell the lord, when will the ploughing competition start?" ”
Liu Cong looked at the scene, turned his face to look at the position of the sun, and ordered: "Start immediately." He added: "In accordance with the procedure." First of all, I would like to ask the cattle owners to demonstrate the ploughing with a single plow. ”
The officer on duty promised to go first. Liu Cong walked into the competition venue to watch under the general circles of Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, Liu Bin, Liu Feng, Guan and Pingping.
With the order of the officer on duty, Ma Wu demonstrated first.
I saw that Ma Wu waved his hand at the soldier who was holding the ox, and the soldier put the reins of the ox on his neck, and then dodged to the side.
Ma Wu shouted, pulled the skimming rope with one hand, and beckoned the plow with the other, and his bullock took a big stride, steadily pulling the plough to plough the ground.
The ground of this beach is soft, and the bullock does not exert any force, but walks fast. However, the difficulty of the plough has increased, and in this case, it is impossible to think of cultivating a straight ditch.
However, Ma Wu has excellent skills and obedient cattle. In the cheers of everyone, Ma Wu had already driven the oxen back from ploughing, leaving a straight sand ditch beside him.
When Liu Cong saw it, he came over, approached Ma Wu, patted his shoulder and said, "Old Ma, Ma Wu, you have a few good skills." Who else can compare? Attaboy. Well, if you are the first in the competition, tonight, I will reward you like that! Okay, right? ”
When Ma Wuyi heard this, the old face turned red and he didn't squeak.
Liu Cong didn't care about this, raised his head and ordered: "Go on." Ten old farmers demonstrated in order, and finally the first place was selected. Then there was the officer's demonstration, which also won the first place. ”
So, the officer on duty commanded the old farmer to demonstrate. In less than half an hour, ten old farmers demonstrated the completion of the cultivated land, although they were all skillful, but the quality of the cultivated land was different.
In the end, the judges scored and ranked first in Ma Wu.
Liu Cong smiled at Ma Wu and said, "Old Ma." Well, yours is there. You're in for a treat tonight. Ha ha. Then he whispered, "You got a first place, that's good." I got a pheasant for you last night, I don't know how you feel. Tonight is different, it's up to you to choose one and choose one for you to sleep in. ”
Ma Wu didn't dare to squeak, and bowed his head and went to the side.
Then, the officer's demonstration began. (If the collection is useful to the author, please bookmark it.) Thank you. )017
