Chapter Ninety-Two: The Four Seasons Come Together
Wen Scandal said, smiled, and thought: "He is a meticulous person." ”
The four of them were already pleasantly surprised to see that the new plough was effective, and they would not refuse now.
Then several people unloaded the ploughing oxen, tied ropes, shoulder straps, etc., and used manpower to pull the 'curved plow'. The four of them worked together, but they were not inferior to the ploughing cattle. A quarter of an hour later, everyone saw that there was nothing unusual about the "Quyuan plow", but the four young men who were in charge of pulling the plough in front were full of joy. It's a sure thing!
A young man said happily: "It's really a lot of effort-saving, but I don't know how much effort I can save." Is it one or two? "There was a lot of eagerness on his face.
"Okay, let's try it with the three of us in charge of traction, and see how it saves effort?" Wen Chou said.
Then it changed from four to three, and the plough was involved
After many times of practice and debugging, it was finally concluded that if the ploughed land is of ordinary depth, it can save one or two people, and the plough originally pulled by four people is now more than enough for three people, and if it is two, it needs to be debugged more shallowly.
Such results have made Wen Chou a lot satisfied, after all, it is only the first generation of products, and it is an unexpected joy to be able to use it smoothly. It can also be seen from this that the man surnamed Wang has attainments in the manufacture of farm tools!
There is a good effect, everyone is happy, this bold man surnamed Wang said after asking Wen Chou: "
This 'curved plow' will be given to you and wait! Don't forget Wenjun's kindness! ”
The group of personnel, hearing this, looked at each other, and they could see the surprise on each other's faces. They all looked at Wen Chou, and after seeing Wen Chou nodding, they all bowed and thanked him! I was very happy. After these villagers got this 'curved plow', they were able to greatly increase the speed of farming! This year, we will be able to reclaim dozens of acres of land. How can you not be happy!
After that, Wen Chou and the man surnamed Wang rushed back to the township pavilion, so there is no need to say much. After seeing that this 'Quyuan plow' was very effective, Wen Chou inquired about the cost, and learned that it was only twice as time-consuming and labor-intensive as the ordinary plow, and immediately decided to take the lead in making a thousand bodies, but most of them could not be used in this season, and it was worth the effort.
Of course, the huge consumption of raw materials such as timber and iron ore is borne by the township of Wenchou. This Wang family has a million-dollar property, and it doesn't have such a big hand! I was shocked at the moment, and then I heard that I didn't have to worry about the raw materials, so I happily agreed. And said that even if he uses the power of his whole family, he will definitely drive them out before the next season!
After Wen Chou rushed back to the official temple from the Xiangting Wang's house, it was already the time when the red sun was setting in the afternoon.
Looking at the red glow in the sky, stretching across the sky, Wen Chou was still a little excited. The richer his people are, the more powerful he can muster. Now there is an opportunity for the villagers to quickly get rid of the current situation of extreme poverty, how can Wen Chou not be happy.
Shaking his head, Wen Chou stopped the infinitely extended fantasy. We walked quickly into the temple and thought about the next thing and set the plan.
After pondering and meditating for several hours, I finally planned an outline of the establishment of the library, and set several guidelines for the library borrowing. How precious books are, but no, a scholar can enter the library to borrow them!
After the farm is over, it can be put into practice.
As the night deepened, the moon hung high, and most of the villagers who were busy with the farmers returned to their homes to rest. But there are exceptions, there are still a small number of Qiantou under the reflection of the moonlight farming, most of these people, most of them do not have cattle, you can only rely on time to make up for it.
The next day, it was another sunny and sunny day. After a night's rest, the villagers and leaders returned to a new day's work.
For several days, the villagers worked day and night, and finally sowed the wheat seeds into the fields. This agricultural work, which lasted for more than a month, is gradually coming to an end. In the days to come, it is nothing more than waiting for the seedlings to break through the soil, weeding, etc., and if conditions permit, you can also apply fertilizer and irrigation.
During this period, Wen Chou also sent Taolin soldiers to collect the corn that the villagers should pay, and most of it was transported to Saishang, and a small part was left in the warehouse of the official temple and stored.
The Xin'an refugees, who have food in their hands, are also slowly building stoves and burying pots and becoming self-sufficient. In the place where the original porridge shack was built, the number of people who came and went gradually became scarce, and the daily consumption of food was also decreasing day by day.
After farming, the villagers, in response to Wen Chou's call, rushed to the ditch left for digging at the end, and the dry was in full swing. Who is not active in irrigating their fields? At this time, everyone admired the cleverness of Wen Chou's actions.
Digging ditches with the power of the displaced people is not only beneficial to the present generation and the future generations, but also can successfully calm down the floating and impatient hearts of the displaced people, and can also make the displaced people feel their kindness. He is really a high-roller who is good at making the people powerful and discerns the essence of the event!
Wen Chou held the shovel in his hand with one hand, grabbed the sweat towel around his neck with the other hand and wiped a handful of sweat. At a glance, there are more than 10,000 villagers, who are sweating and working incessantly on the ditch construction site for several miles. I was relieved and thought: "According to this progress, within three days, the channel will be completely connected!" ”
This is not the first time Wen Chou has come to the construction site to work with the people, and the villagers are grateful in their hearts, and no one has the heart to spare their strength. In addition, in recent days, I have eaten enough, which is far more than the strength that can be brought by one or two servings of fine porridge, and the progress of the project is naturally much faster.
In the past few days, the news that Wen Chou wants to expand the Taolin military headquarters has also spread all over the township. I think that after this ditch is over, recruitment announcements will be posted in the various kiosks in the township. These villagers are also very concerned about Wen Chou's recruitment of soldiers. is also very tempting about Wen Chou's generous treatment of soldiers. Moreover, there is also a sense of gratitude for Wen Chou and his people. It's just that whether they can pass the test of Wen Chou or not is not something they can control.
Not to mention how these villagers think of Wen Chou's intention to expand the military department, only the sergeants who have been resting for more than a month are very willing. Because this shows that they all have the opportunity to be promoted, according to the news from above, the newly recruited soldiers will be mixed with them, and the old soldiers will lead the new soldiers. Then some of their veterans have been promoted to captains, captains, team leaders, and even tun commanders! Don't think about it, in the entire army, Dong Jiang alone is a quasi-Qu commander, and whether the other tun commanders are promoted is to be determined!
Three days have passed in a flash.
This is a time for all people to celebrate!
Wen Chou symbolically threw out the last shovel of the ditch, and the more than 10,000 villagers surrounding the periphery raised the items in their hands and shouted wildly. Whether it is a shovel, a flat pole, or a dung basket, etc., they have become a tool for the villagers to boost their momentum.
Seeing this, Wen Chou did not say anything, but cheered together, feeling the pleasure of all the people calling together. It wasn't until half an hour later that everyone gradually calmed down, went out of the ditch, and opened the floodgates.
More than 10,000 villagers on both sides of the ditch watched silently, a silver point from the direction of Jiaoshui, with a thunderous roar, gradually turned into a silver line, and then the river was wrapped in unparalleled might, washed from under the moment, and divided into three tributaries not far away, flowing away far away.
At this point, the ditch that traverses the entire Shahe Township cultivated area has been officially opened to water! There are three main veins that span the cultivated area, and there are several smaller branches in between, which are spread out like a grid.
Wen Chou looked at the boiling river happily, and couldn't help but sigh: "With this ditch, you can ensure the prosperity of the hometown for a hundred years!" ”
When Wang Chong heard this, his eyes rolled, and he immediately bowed and said: "The ditch has been completed, please give Wenjun a proper name to ensure the stability of the world." ”
"Please name Wenjun!"
"Please name Wenjun!"
For a while, the surrounding villagers bowed down and chanted, and extended out layer by layer. Until the end, all the people worshipped together, and the sound was suppressed, which was spectacular! To do the sake of being ugly, it is rare to see it throughout the ages!
Wen Chou first helped the leading Xiangzuo Wang Chong up, and then said loudly: "Since you don't abandon the contemptible and reckless, then I will have the courage to give this canal one." This canal was dug by the people for four months, and there must be a prayer for the inexhaustible flow of water in this canal in all seasons, and it should be irrigated, so it is called the "Four Seasons Canal". ”
"'Four Seasons Canal', well, that's a good name! May this canal be inexhaustible in all seasons! King Xiangzuo groaned slightly and responded.
"Four Seasons Canal!"
"The meaning of the inexhaustible flow of water in all seasons!"
"Four Seasons Canal!"
In a short time, the name given by Wen Chou spread to more than 10,000 villagers. Everyone groaned, and from time to time they praised the name for being appropriate, meaningful, and appropriate, and so on.
When Wen Chou returned to the official temple from the ditch land, the sky had already darkened. In the past few days, it has been very tiring to write ugly. Although they did not stay on the ditch site around the clock, as the farming was over, the villagers' lawsuits increased. The daily life of these 20,000 villagers and the number of lawsuits make Wen Chou miserable.
Although Wen Chou has repeatedly emphasized that the problems that can be solved from the chief and the elder do not need to go to the pavilion chief, ask for thieves, and pavilion fathers; Those who can solve it in the pavilion do not have to come to the township official temple to seek the appeal of the villagers; If you can solve it with other subordinates, you don't have to look for him. He's busy!
However, there are still villagers who come to Wen Chou to administer justice with some trivial things! However, his reputation in the countryside has become more and more powerful. And Wen Chou couldn't refuse it sternly, so he had to induce Chunchun to have something to do in the future, first seek help from the pavilion, and if it can't be solved, it's not too late to come to him again.
The busier Wen Chou is, the more he hopes to recruit some scholars to help him share the pressure. After all, 20,000 people is too much, as if it is the population of a county, and only those subordinate officials in the township will never be able to get busy. In the past, the displaced people in Xin'an had never gained a firm foothold, but it was not very obvious. Now that the displaced people have chosen to rebuild their houses, it is precisely because they have settled down that there are more things, and the disadvantages of the lack of subordinate officials have become prominent.
