Chapter 35: The Seed

Dong Bai knew that there would be a day when he moved west to Chang'an, and of course he would make his own arrangements for this matter in advance.

Just after the New Year, Dong Shouye arranged for his henchman San'er to come to his side and said to him: "San'er, how old are you this year, and how long have you been in Dong's Mansion?" ”

The little maid replied: "Back to the son, the villain is an orphan, he has been in the Dong Mansion since he was ten years old, and it has been ten years since he was born. After that, he stayed in the house, and waited until Childe returned from school, and then returned to Childe's side. After the prime minister entered Luoyang, he followed his son from Hedong to Luoyang. ”

Dong Shouye thought that these three children had been in this old Dong family for a long time, so he said again: "Three children, what is your big name?" ”

The little girl San'er replied: "Back to the son, the villain has been called "San'er" since he arrived in the house, and he has no big name. ”

When Dong Shouye heard it, it was exactly what I wanted, so he said to the little girl San'er: "San'er, you are not young now, and you have always been with me and loyal to me, I will give you a name, just call Dong Cunrui!" ”

The little maid San'er was suddenly overjoyed, jumping up and down, saying "I finally have a name or something", muttering and not hearing clearly, making a fuss for a while before stopping, so he quickly knelt down to thank his young master.

Dong Shouye was bowed down by Dong Cunrui in this dignified place, and when his love finally settled down, he said to him: "Cunrui, I have a big confidant to let you do it for me right now, are you willing?" ”

Dong Cunrui hurriedly expressed his determination and said: "The son has a life, and the little one is willing to go to the soup for the son, and he will not give up." ”

Seeing this, Dong Shouye smiled and said, "There is nothing life-threatening, do you remember the things I asked you to take home when I fell off my horse that time, after we came back?" ”

Dong Cunrui immediately said: "Of course the villain remembers, those things are still in the next room?" I wonder what Childe mentioned those things for? ”

Dong Shouye said loudly: "Right now, my father is about to go to the Tiger Prison Pass to fight the Kwantung princes, and there must be continuous war near Luoyang, so you can quickly take those things to Chang'an, and then settle down." ”

Dong Cunrui also didn't understand what the use of those things his son wanted, so he asked out loud: "The villain doesn't know, what are the functions of those things, but what the villain wants to ask is, how to act after settling down?" ”

Dong Shouye replied: "I will give you a sum of money, and after you take some people to Chang'an, buy a larger manor outside the city, and then live there." The contents of those two sacks are the seeds of a kind of grain, and now that spring plowing is coming, you must plant these grains immediately after you buy a land estate in Chang'an. This is a matter of importance, and you must do it well. If this matter is done well, I will definitely not treat you badly in the future. ”

Dong Cunrui immediately assured: "Don't worry, the villain will conscientiously complete the important task entrusted to the villain." ”

So, Dong Shouye gave Dong Cunrui a large sum of money, and asked him to take some servants and the two bags of corn and the flatbed truck to Chang'an first, bought some field manors, and secretly planted more than 200 catties of corn that he brought when he crossed. After the promise was fulfilled, he was rewarded and married San'er with a name, Dong Cunrui, which made the kid very happy.

Dong Shouye also told Dong Cunrui about various skills for planting corn and precautions. This Dong Shouye has been farmers for generations before he crossed over, and his family also planted corn every year, and he often helped his parents with farm work, so he naturally knew how to grow corn and was extremely proficient. It is also said that it cannot be forbidden. Fortunately, Dong Cunrui was a little clever, brought paper and pen, and recorded everything his son-in-law said in detail.

Dong Shouye saw that the paper Dong Cunrui was holding was really not ordinarily bad. I didn't ask in detail, I just kept the matter in my heart.

However, it was said that Dong Zhuo decided to move the capital to Chang'an, so he arranged for his baby son Dong Bai to be responsible for moving the capital, and arranged for some other generals and miscellaneous people to assist. He stationed troops in Luoyang as a cover. He also sent Lu Bu to dig up all the imperial tombs near Luoyang, obtained countless gold and silver treasures, and loaded nearly 1,000 carts. Dong Zhuo was about to order his subordinates to burn Luoyang, Dong Bai hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him when he heard this, and said to his cheap son Dong Zhuo: "Father, Luoyang has been the imperial capital for more than 200 years, and it is not easy. ”

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he immediately said: "Shouye, the imperial capital of Luoyang, is prosperous, and my father knows it, but if it is not burned now, if it is occupied by the Kwantung rats, it can become an enemy!" ”

Dong Shouye said: "Father, you think it's good, our army will use all the things that can be used in Luoyang City, and take away all the things that can be taken away, and the remaining broken Luoyang is not enough to support the enemy." However, in the future, our army will regroup and return to Luoyang, and it will be much easier to rebuild it when the time comes. ”

Dong Zhuo heard that his son was ambitious, and he was also dissatisfied with the time of moving the capital, but at the moment, he was stronger than others, and he couldn't lose his strength too much, otherwise he would not be able to resist the Kwantung princes, and saw that his son was against the burning of Luoyang, and said that he would definitely fight back to Luoyang in the future, and the anger in his heart eased a lot, so he gave up the plan to burn Luoyang. Even so, everything in Luoyang City can be taken away, and everything that can be used is dismantled and used, which is not polite at all. It is not cheap at all to let the Kwantung princes take advantage of it.

However, it was said that Dong Shouye led the millions of people who moved out of Luoyang to Chang'an, and along the way, he tried to avoid the phenomenon of the Xiliang army disturbing the people at will and killing innocents indiscriminately. He also killed a dozen soldiers for this matter, which stopped the spread of this kind of thing. As a result, in the process of arranging the westward migration of the Xiliang Army, although there were also phenomena of disturbing the people at will and killing innocents indiscriminately, it was ten million times stronger than in history. So along the way, the people's losses are basically not much, and for some ordinary people who are old, weak, sick and disabled, and lack of food and food, Dong Shouye is also full of sympathy and tries to take care of them. So under the painstaking management of Dong Shouye, the reputation of Xiliangjun did not deteriorate, and became tyrannical, and the reputation of Dong Shouye became famous among ordinary people, and it was a household name, and people called Dong Shouye "Dong Bodhisattva". This was also unexpected by Dong Shouye's own sake.

After passing through Hangu Pass and walking to the territory of Hongnong County, Dong Shouye arranged for Hongnong Taishou to resettle some ordinary people who could not walk, and coordinated with Hongnong Taishou to resettle land, rations, etc. for these people. Most of these ordinary people still have some stocks in their hands, and now it is the time for spring ploughing, so they urgently transferred a part of the grain seeds from the Hongnong Mansion Treasury and leased them to sow seeds. This time, more than 200,000 people were resettled. In addition, Hongnong County originally had more than 200,000 people, and Hongnong suddenly became a county with a large population.

In view of the successful experience of this time, in the process of moving westward, we also followed the Hongnong model and resettled some ordinary people who really couldn't walk all the way.

When this qiē was gradually on the track, and Zhang Liao, Zhang Ji and others could also draw scoops according to the gourd, Dong Shouye was worried about the spring ploughing of corn, so he rode first, and the second brother Zhang Liao, Zhang Ji and others followed the large army forward, escorted the team thoroughly, and ordered the eldest brother Xu Huang and Hua Xiong to lead 10,000 elites to wait for him at Hangu Pass.

Dong Shouye led more than 100 of his personal guards, day and night, and rushed to Chang'an to find his henchman Dong Cunrui, ready to implement the problem of corn planting again.

After seeing Dong Cunrui, the kid took Dong Shouye to the farm to visit the planting of corn, Dong Shouye saw that rows of green corn seedlings had grown, and the growth was gratifying, Dong Shouye couldn't help but have a sour nose when he saw this, and his eyes were almost about to leave tears, so he couldn't help himself. I couldn't help but think in my heart: "It's not easy, I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, it has been almost half a year since I came to this world, and the corn that crossed with me from my hometown has also taken root and sprouted in the land of Dahan." And he has become a general who has mastered more than 30,000 horses, and he is also Dong Zhuo's son. ”

A total of two bags of corn, each bag of 100 catties, a total of 200 catties of corn as seeds, only 20 catties were left, and the rest were all planted in the ground. A total of 20 acres of land were planted, and an average of less than 20 catties of corn seeds were sown per acre. I don't know how these corns will grow in the future and what impact they can have on the world.

Then, Dong Shouye said to Dong Cunrui again: "The growth and harvest of these corns can be said to be related to the future development of our army. If you do a good job, I will guarantee to my father that you will be a great official in the future, so that you can also glorify your ancestors. ”

Dong Cunrui rushed in and said: "Don't worry, the villain must be careful all the time, and never let the son down." If there is a slight mistake, the villain will cut off the head of the master and vent his anger to the son. ”

Dong Shouye once again told Dong Cunrui about various matters in corn planting and how to deal with various problems.

Dong Cunrui was also curious to ask where these seeds came from, and how his son-in-law knew how to grow this corn, Dong Shouye could only shirk that his cheap master taught him. And that time he fell off the horse and was assassinated, but he was saved by his own master. After his master rescued him, he left these seeds and objects and left secretly. Although Dong Cunrui didn't believe it a little, there were a lot of things about Shinto Taoism at that time, and Dong Shouye's master was a master, and Dong Shouye's words were basically flawless. gradually firmly believed in what Dong Shouye said.

After Dong Shouye was delayed for a day in the Grange because of the corn incident, he quickly rushed to Chang'an City, contacted the manpower arranged by Dong Zhuo before, and quickly arranged some necessary and urgent things, and hurried back to Hangu Pass.
