There was still a lot of snow this winter, but fortunately there was no house collapse, and after the river thawed in January, the temperature rose sharply, and people took off their thick winter clothes to enjoy the wonderful spring season.

The great farmer ordered Ding Wuke to resign in the name of old age and infirmity, and the Son of Heaven allowed him to use the middle 2,000 stone as his retirement salary, and he could still enjoy the treatment of Jiuqing when he entered and exited the Weiyang Palace.

The new Danong Linghui is Cao Shi's old friend, as the first adjutant of Danong Ling's side, Danong Cheng, who is often responsible for communicating with Shaofu, and helping each other several times has also formed a good friendship, Cao Shi welcomed this appointment.

At the same time, the spring ploughing tide in the Central Plains has also kicked off.

The farmers of Nanzhuangtou are very different from previous years, every household drives the sturdy big yellow ox to plow the ground, and no longer has to take the rake to plow in the field, the big yellow ox pulls the plough and rake to plough both deep and fast, and the work of the morning will plough a few acres of land again without effort.

Xu Ji held the Quyuan plow. Wielding a small whip and humming a little song, the broken gong roared the little song of the girl Ailang, which provoked the fierce mother-in-law in the distance to scold: "Xu Leprosy!" You've been like a castrated old donkey all day long. What are you singing? If it weren't for the pity of your family's hardship and poverty, you don't know where to stay now, the big girl and the little daughter-in-law in Lu will hide when they see you, and they want to find a daughter-in-law to work hard to marry back with their skills, don't be like a waste without eggs. ”

"Hahaha......"

A group of married women laughed, and some women laughed and scolded Xu Ji for being a useless rammer.

Xu Ji's face was flushed. secretly scolded this group of old ladies for speaking more openly than men, if it weren't for the strict staring of Lu Li's upper and lower tubes, he really wanted to find a chance to deal with them. It's a pity that he has the heart of this thief but not the courage of this thief.

It is rare to have time to rest, Cao Shi, who changed into casual clothes, walked in the field, leaned over to pick up the soil turned up by the bottom soil, and the fields of the Hou Mansion were all fertile fields with strong ground. Only under the irrigation of the Wei River can grain with full grains grow.

"Elder Zheng. What do market makers say about the new tool? ”

"Back to the prince, the old and young in our village are very fond of this new rake, which is several times better than the previous straight rake, and the old cattle are no longer struggling to plow the land, and the degree of ploughing is much faster." Zheng Lao couldn't close his mouth happily.

A few years ago, the county promoted the new type of straight plow rake, saying that it was to completely kick the rake out of the farm implement, and Zheng Lao was also a supporter of the straight plow rake at that time. The shallow effect of the slow ploughing pulled by the old ox is similar to that of a rake, and an old ox pulling a cart is wasted as labor.

Few ordinary people can afford to raise expensive farming cattle. A cow 3,000 dollars is not a big amount, the trouble is that the investment and hard work of raising cattle is not small, in case the cattle are not well fed to the sick and fed to death, it is a few years of hard work to put into the water, the people go a little together and naturally throw the straight rake aside, continue to hold the money-saving rake a little bit to hug the ground.

Cao Shi said with a smile: "Quyuan plough is a tool prepared by the Hou Mansion for the villagers, you only need to pay attention to the tools when using it, do not deliberately destroy the Quyuan plow, you can use it to your heart's content, and if it is broken, you will take it to the blacksmith shop of the Hou Mansion to repair it from the inside, and it will not cost you a lot of money." ”

Hearing that he could take advantage of the Hou Mansion, Zheng Lao was suddenly unhappy: "How can it be done?" Didn't we get the advantage of the Hou Mansion in vain! Things can be repaired by themselves when they are broken, and the villagers must pay half of the money to repair the blacksmith shop, so that we can use the new tools with peace of mind, otherwise everyone is awkward, and it is easy to develop the bad problem of taking advantage of the Hou Mansion. ”

Ben just mentioned yì, he didn't think so deeply for a while, and when he heard Zheng Lao's online talk about maintaining the people's morale, Cao Shi was also good: "Okay, then do it according to Zheng Lao's intentions." ”

Zheng Lao responded happily, secretly praising the prince is really a kind person who is the number one in the sky, and his kindness for the sake of the people everywhere is impressive, compared to the group of powerful landlords from the Kanto region, who are still restless in Lingyi, and they pick their noses and eyes all day long, even their local civilians in Guanzhong are not used to it.

In fact, this is the second time to dig deeper.

As early as before the heavy snow fell in winter, the men, women and children of the Hou Mansion organized themselves to carry out a deep ploughing.

Every year, there will be pests and diseases in the field, maggots and all kinds of messy small insects are the most hated enemies of farmers, in order to drive away the annoying insects, every household has sent people to patrol and catch insects.

After the thick snow and icy temperatures throughout the winter, these hateful insects will be frozen to death, and the deep ploughing will be more ruthless, and the land will be plowed out of the ravines more than a foot deep, and more insects will freeze to death.

Even if there are lucky insects that are not dead, it is easy to deal with, the grass ash left over from the fire cooking in each family comes in handy, each mu only needs to be applied in the ditch 8o Han Jin grass ash, which can not only prevent the insects in the ground but also increase fertility, and the effect of insecticide and yield is very obvious, and these soil methods sometimes have unexpected good effects.

Pinching off the sticky soil and throwing it into the field, Cao Shi was in a good mood: "The soil strength of the field this year is okay, but it is still necessary to put on a layer of base fertilizer to maintain the soil strength." ”

"In the lower province, the men, women and children in the village have not been idle this winter. According to the custom, the men went to the county to receive military training, and the elderly, children and women wore leather gloves to dig up the soil on the South Mountain, and truckloads of the soil were pulled back and piled up in the fields. Just wait for the snow to thaw and turn the ground again so that the grass and wood ashes can mix into the ground, and take advantage of the low temperature at night to freeze the insects in the ground again, so that all those things will die. Zheng Lao's expression was very funny, as if the insects in the ground were the enemies of all evil, gritting his teeth and wishing that they would never live.

Cao Shi is a pseudo-environmentalist who proposes to dig up the rotten leaves of the soil in the woods of Nanshan as a good green manure.

The biogas digester in Zhuangzi is filled with domestic wastewater and livestock feces. After more than half a year of high temperature decomposition, it becomes a pile of sludge, which can be applied to the field as a good fertilizer, and the soil strength in Zhuangzi is not bad. It is more fertile with several types of fertilizer.

Thinking of the trend of digging soil, he reminded with concern: "You have to pay attention to backfilling the mountain with soil, once the habit of digging the mountain is formed, sooner or later the soil on the mountain will be hollowed out." Forests without soil protection will wither and die sooner or later. ”

Zheng Lao smiled: "What Junhou said is true." This is the same as wool is a truth, a handful of wool a day is not all, day after day, sooner or later, one day will be the sheep into bald, we have to enlarge the car before the car to dig the remaining soil of the biogas digester in the Zhuangzi loaded on the cart to the foot of the mountain for backfilling, when we have too much soil in the field, and then fill the soil of the field back into the mountain. ”

The old man spoke very funny, and the soldiers who had been mixed in the army for decades not only practiced a strong military formation killing technique. The jokes of the veterans can also come out of their mouths, and those vulgar but interesting witticisms come one by one. Cao Shi, who was amused, laughed and was in a particularly good mood.

The people take food as the sky, and the people take agriculture as the foundation.

Farming is the most important labor of the year, not only the people in the Hou Mansion come to watch, the township man, the tour and the pavilion chief, and the county officials all come to the fields to squat, under the Huang Lao Wuwei system, the officials are idle all day long and have nothing to do, except to go to the townships and villages to inspect the public security and health everywhere There is nothing else to do, if you hide in the county government and do not come out, you may be poked in the backbone of the people of Guizhou and scolded as moths.

As long as they feel that the grassroots bureaucrats have nothing to do all day long, then they can write to the court openly and honestly, asking for the punishment of the corpses and vegetarian food corrupt officials, of course, their power is limited to this, and the officials who have risen to the county government within the county area are at most gossip that they have nothing to do.

Therefore, the political struggle in the early Han Dynasty was limited to the county, and the higher level of the imperial court, the county's big and small bureaucrats had less oil and water and more things, and if they were slack, they would be scolded by the three elders, and those old men were all over 50 years old, and they were personally received by the emperor The Western Han Dynasty model workers, each old man was a military meritorious class who had been on the battlefield and guarded the frontier and made meritorious contributions.

The three elders in the township where the Hou Mansion is located are the Chu veterans, and today this old man is also here.

Gongxi arched his hand: "Meet the prince!" ”

"You don't have to be polite to be old." Cao Shi was also busy returning the salute.

The Han family rules the world with filial piety, and is very respectful of the elderly, Qianbai Ding over the age of sixty-five, no longer have to serve in the levy, at the same time the Han Empire will no longer collect all kinds of taxes from the elderly, the age of the lord can be reduced, to the eighth level of the public is fifty-six years old is exempt from servitude, the ninth level of five doctors is completely exempt from servitude.

If the old man is over 70 years old, the emperor will personally order to give a few rods, that is, the power given to the old princes and kings, and Liu Bi, the king of Wu who died of his son, will get a few rods given by Emperor Wen of Han.

In recent years, the Son of Heaven ordered the county to give longevity banquets to the elderly over eighty years old, and Gongxi has also been a guest for a few years, as long as the old man is willing to Chang'an City, there are few places in Chang'an City that can not be rampant, whether it is the official government of the Three Princes and Nine Qings, or the high walls of the deep palace of Changle Weiyang can not stop him, and the place that cannot be entered is nothing more than someone else's private house, and the Son of Heaven's own Yongxiang private mansion.

The old man sneered: "Don't hide it from the prince, my little granddaughter-in-law has been chattering and complaining for several days, the old man was dizzy and helpless to disturb the prince, a few days ago, Shi recruited us into the house, saying that it was to promote our Luli farming style, this time someone runs to the township every day, I want to invite the good style of Luli to give them a class and said." lest those people go to the old man's house all day long to eat, and I will be complained about by my granddaughter-in-law again. ”

"This is easy to say, let's do our best to do it if necessary. Each of the 75 counties in Guanzhong sent 20 people to our Zhuangzi, and each Zhuangzi was divided into two people to learn the crop style, and it was not necessary to memorize and sort out what they had learned in three days, and to compile it into an agricultural book and promote it to the world, and strive to increase the world's grain output by 20%, which is a good deed with immeasurable merit. ”

Cao Shi has many advantages, and the most praised is the one who admonishes Ruliu. He is most praised for accepting education without understanding and being willing to share the results with others. The Hou Mansion never thought of deliberately hiding it so as not to show it to others, and if he wanted to learn, he would come and learn and leave without asking for repayment.

Some people once said that he was very naïve and stupid, and he didn't know how to hide his family skills and stunts to enjoy exclusive benefits, and Cao Shi's answer to them was that it was a small way to eat at home. Only when everyone in the world has enough to eat is the grand road.

There is no heart that has the world. Even if they have enough to eat, they may be able to become rich and wealthy for a lifetime, but when they want to hide and not give others the opportunity to learn art all the time, they have invisibly not pulled themselves to the opposite side of the people in the world, and have become greedy, selfish, and vicious powerful landlords.

Industrial and commercial technology can be hidden, but agricultural technology can never be hidden, and iron and paper are not industrial products that everyone needs. Whole grains are an indispensable meal, and many people can live without iron or paper for a lifetime. But if you want to change to skipping meals, not many people can live for a lifetime, and only a few people eat meat after all.

It is rumored that the increase in grain production in a certain county by 10 percent will immediately become a major event that will cause a sensation in the world, and I don't know how many county and county bureaucrats have sharpened their heads to inquire about the news, and they want to find out how to increase the grain output in a certain county by 10 percent or a half.

An increase in production of one and a half percent is still so, and it goes without saying that two percent is definitely a great event.

Walking on the road in Guanzhong, I saw countless people helping the old and the young to walk in the direction of the Pingyang Hou Mansion, and the old people would enthusiastically explain when they saw the doubtful travelers.

"We are going to Pingyang Hou Mansion to see the ability to grow crops, and the one who knows the most about the crops in the field belongs to Pingyang Hou."

The pedestrians and business travelers were confused, and they couldn't understand how Pingyang Hou became the best at farming, and driven by curiosity, they also followed the flow of people to the Hou Mansion to have a look.

In a very ordinary carriage on the gallop road, the big farmer Ling Hui opened the curtain and saw the peasants chasing me along the way, and sighed: "Our Han family has suffered from food shortages for decades, and Emperor Taizongwen has wanted to use troops to attack the Xiongnu several times, but he has repeatedly died halfway because of the lack of money in the treasury. Emperor Gaozongjing in order to cut the feudal army and horses, and successfully cut the feudal domain and prepared for war for more than ten years, but he never dared to start a war with the Huns, just because of lack of money and lack of food! ”

"Shaofu's clever hand has rejuvenated, the problem of money shortage has been basically contained, the food shortage is not something that can be solved in a moment, the big farmer order does not need to worry too much, Pingyang Hou is implementing a new farming technique." Right Nei Shi Huan Xian said.

The Han Empire had a lot of arable land, low grain production, and very low agricultural technology,,。

Many peasants in the border counties simply scattered grain into the ground and left it alone, and it was not enough to have 1 stone of grain in exchange for a large mu, which was simply a waste of the hard-earned land.

1 stone grain is 6o city jin, the best upper field has a yield of 4 stone per mu is only 24o city jin, and the middle field or even the lower field has only half or less grain yield per mu, and it is not easy for the peasants to be able to eat enough for a year's income, and if they want to fight a war, they simply cannot withstand consumption, and if they can't fight for three years, they have to take away the peasants' rations if the treasury is empty, and it is a miracle that people do not starve to death when a natural disaster arrives.

Having enough to eat is still the urgent desire of one-third of the country's working population, and another third fluctuates up and down the subsistence line, and only the last third can have enough to eat and live a good life.

The ambition of the big farmer Linghui is not small, and he said after thinking for a long time: "The farming technique of the Pingyang Hou Mansion is very important, if the 570,000 people in the seventy-five counties of Guanzhong can eat enough to live a good life within a year, it means that nearly one-sixth of the country's population has been lifted out of poverty and become rich. ”

"Then I want to congratulate you in advance on becoming the most successful farmer."

"Rejoice and rejoice! Huan Neishi will also be the most successful one. ”

After briefly summarizing the results of the inspection, the two ordered that representatives from all counties in Guanzhong could be selected to go to the Pingyang Hou Mansion to learn the techniques of growing crops.

I heard that the Pingyang Hou Mansion promised each county to draw 20 places to learn farming techniques, and the townships almost broke their heads for the quota, and finally made trouble to the Inner History Mansion to solve the problem, and the method that Shi Huanxian came up with is very simple, 2o people can't do it, then 5o people in each county, you say 5o people are not enough? Then 1oo people, no more 2oo people, 5oo people can't be more, you can't go to the whole county to squat, you have to learn to stop in moderation!

Under the irresponsible judgment of the right internal history, each county sent a team of 5oo people to run to the Zhuangzi of the Hou Mansion to learn agricultural technology, 375oo people gathered together in a large area of black pressure is very amazing, it happens that the location of the Pingyang Hou Mansion is next to the Baqiao of the six countries in and out of Chang'an, the merchants and travelers who pass by here will be curious to stop and look at the dark crowd, and ask to learn that it is the Pingyang Hou Mansion to teach agricultural technology, then the interest of the onlookers is even greater.

As a result, the onlookers went 1o thousand miles, and even the lieutenant's mansion in Chang'an City was alarmed, and Lieutenant Zhang Ou was ordered to lead 2,000 soldiers of the Northern Army to go to Zhuangziwai in the Hou Mansion to take duty, but it further promoted the curiosity of the past business travelers, and even the idle people in Chang'an Lingyi also came to watch, and there were more and more onlookers who did not know the truth.

The agricultural technology of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion is not good, so why do you need the Northern Army to maintain law and order? The newly opened braised vegetable restaurant at the entrance of the East Market is also a city, and there are thousands of people queuing up every day, and the Chang'an Northern Army did not send a single soldier to maintain law and order.

Cao Shi inadvertently set a new record, and the number of onlookers who did not know the truth exceeded 150,000, which is also worth bragging about. (To be continued!)
