There are still three days to go, and the land has begun to thaw.

The industrious farmers did not bother to buy New Year's goods, and they were all busy preparing the land, preparing to plant the wheat before the sting.

Pingxi General's Mansion, Inner Courtyard.

"Eldest sister, Jinmi has grown!"

As soon as Gan Qian got up, she heard Wu Zhen next door yelling.

Ignoring the maid's continuous shouting, slow down, when she walked to the door, Wu Zhen had already run over with a red face.

Although she is a wife, she is actually only a sixteen-year-old girl.

Wu Zhen's face flushed with excitement, and she said continuously: "Eldest sister, the golden rice planted by the husband has sprouted. ”

Gan Qianxi said: "I heard it, go over and take a look." ”

When they entered the wing room next door, Ren Yan, Zhenbao, and Elk Huan were fast, and they had already rushed over first.

"Big sister is here!"

Several women screamed, and immediately hugged Gan Qian to the flower pot by the window.

Even the most unsociable Maho has moved out of the way a little.

Gan Qian is graceful and generous, never oppresses people with power, and the concubines naturally accept this love.

After a long time, even the thorn of Maho has been smoothed a lot.

Gan Qian leaned in front of the flower pot and looked at it for a while, and said with a happy eyebrow: "It's really budding, it's good!" ”

Wu Zhen's face flushed with excitement, and she couldn't help but want to sing.

: The golden rice planted in this pot has always been taken care of by her.

Ren Yan said: "Eldest sister, my husband said that the corn sprouted and he should sue him as soon as possible, do you want to send someone to report it." ”

Gan Qian thought for a while and said, "Whether or not golden rice can be planted on a large scale involves the country's agricultural plan. It affects the foundation of the country, and it is a major event that tens of millions of people will no longer have famine. Don't be slacking off at all, or send someone to sue the husband! ”

Wu Zhen hurriedly said: "The concubine will go to find someone to tell her husband!" ”

Gan Qian said: "Let the guards in the house go." Women are not allowed to go to the office and the barracks. ”

Wu Zhen agreed, and immediately ran out quickly.

When he arrived at the door, he said hello to a pro-soldier, and the pro-soldier immediately ran away.

Madame is bad, how can she not hurry up to the order, and she can't run slowly.

Luo Zheng is not in Yunwu City at the moment, but in a village outside the city, explaining some iron and steel metallurgy theories in the era of science and technology to Lao Ma and other blacksmiths, although it is only a few skins. But the craftsmen were inspired.

More than 300,000 catties of refined iron brought from the Central Plains were all transported here.

Lao Ma and hundreds of craftsmen are working overtime to make weapons and armor.

Luo Zheng's ideology and worldview were formed in later generations, and instead of despising craftsmen, he treated these vulgar generals in the eyes of scholars and doctors very favorably, not only rewarding them with fields and land, but even rewarding several Qianghu women who came captive.

Later generations have proved a truth: science and technology are the primary productive forces.

And the most direct participants in the progress of various technologies are these low-status and vulgar craftsmen.

Luo Zheng deeply understands this truth, how can he not pay attention to it.

These craftsmen do not have to work. All the land they were allocated was hired for rent, and they only had to concentrate on researching how to forge better weapons, and at the same time make improvements to various equipment.

If you do a good job, there will be a big reward.

Such a good thing. You can't find it even with a lantern.

The princes of the world, who will treat the craftsman so preferentially, there is no second one.

It's no wonder that these craftsmen are enthusiastic. All of them are desperately trying to find ways to innovate or improve their weapons. Or study how to forge a better quality of solid iron and steel, so as to get a few words of praise from the lord.

As for the reward of the house and the money. It's still secondary.

The material life is already very rich, and the spiritual life is also very important!

"Open!"

Luo Zheng shouted, held the knife in both hands, and slashed hard.

Phew!

The wooden man in double cowhide armor had no suspense, and was split in half with a knife.

Even if it goes through several processes, polished and sunburned, the leather armor kneaded can't withstand a knife.

Luo Zheng lifted the black and shiny ring knife head weighing more than ten catties, stroked the tough knife edge, and praised: "Yes, this batch of weapons is much better than the previous batch, and the armor-piercing ability is quite good." Even if a soldier is wearing heavy armor, he will be seriously injured if he goes down with all his strength without dying. The old horse did a good job, remember your great achievements, appreciate 100 acres of land, and 10 slaves. ”

"Thank you, my lord!"

The old horse hurriedly thanked the reward, but there was not much excitement.

It's really since I arrived in Liangzhou, and I've received a lot of rewards.

Now not only have they married a few old mothers-in-law, but they have also bought several houses, and there are a group of slaves in the family, there are already fifty or sixty of them.

As for the Han people, the lord issued a ban, and the Han people were not allowed to become slaves.

As long as they are pure-bred Han Chinese, they can enter the official household registration and get enough land, and their livelihood is not a problem.

If you are diligent, it is not a problem for your family to have surplus food and spare money.

Only those ignorant and barbaric Qianghu who dared to disobey the orders of the lord were put in chains, tattooed with a golden seal of humiliation tattooed on their foreheads, and beaten as slaves who had no freedom and the right to produce for life, and engaged in heavy labor production.

Luo Zheng threw down the ring head knife and said: "The rest of the people have also worked hard, and each person will be rewarded with ten taels of silver." ”

"Thank you, General!"

The craftsmen around showed their faces and thanked them one after another.

Luo Zheng inspected the rest of the workshops again, encouraged the craftsmen, and was about to leave, when he saw a fast horse rushing in at the gate of the manor like a whirlwind, galloping all the way to the front, and then stopped violently.

"Lord, Mrs. Wu is invited!"

The soldiers got off their horses and knelt on the ground to report urgently.

Luo Zheng's face was spurted, his brows furrowed instantly, and he shouted, "What did you say?" ”

But in his heart, he thought that Wu Zhen should not be so unmeasured, and he didn't have the courage to send the soldiers in the house to disturb him.

The surrounding craftsmen all had strange faces and tried their best to hold back their laughter.

"Ugh!"

The soldiers choked and hurriedly said, "Mrs. Wu ordered the villain to come and invite the lord to return to the house." It is said that the golden rice has sprouted. ”

"Golden rice sprouted?"

Luo Zheng's face suddenly turned happy, and he immediately waved his hand. shouted: "Go, go home!" ”

Some soldiers have already brought the sweaty BMW over. Hand over the reins.

Luo Zhengfei got on the horse, clamped the horse's belly, and the sweat and blood under his crotch immediately neighed and ran out.

Hundreds of soldiers hurriedly mounted their horses, followed the horses, and rushed out of Zhuangzi like a whirlwind.

rushed back to the city all the way, and as soon as he entered the general's mansion, Xun Yu had already heard the news and rushed over.

"I've seen the lord!"

Seeing Luo Zheng Pegasus arrive, Xun Yu hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Luo Zheng jumped off his horse. waved his hand and said: "Wen Ruo doesn't have to be polite, go, go in and have a look!" ”

Xun Yu had a lot of dust on his body, obviously he had just rushed back from outside, and while walking briskly inside, he asked anxiously: "Lord, I heard that the golden rice has sprouted, but the lord has tried a new method?" ”

Luo Zheng nodded and said: "Wen Ruo is not bad as expected, if it really sprouts." The cultivation of golden rice is no longer a problem. ”

Xun Yu hurriedly asked, "I don't know what method the lord tried?" ”

Luo Zheng didn't care about it, and said, "Wen Ruo will know in a while, let's go, let's go and have a look first!" ”

into the inner court. The wives and maidservants were waiting in the courtyard early.

"Meet the husband (general)!"

The wives and concubines and servants and maids were busy taking a few steps forward and giving gifts.

Luo Zheng waved and walked away, and strode into Wu Zhen's boudoir.

Xun Yu stood at the door awkwardly. It's not to go in, it's not to go in.

"Wen Ruo come in and take a look!"

I hesitate. Luo Zheng's shouts rang out from inside the house.

Xun Yu hurriedly saluted Wu Zhen, "Where you trespass." Please forgive your sins! ”

Wu Zhenqiao's face flushed, and she said in a hurry: "Sir, just please." ”

Xun Yu nodded, and then rushed in.

A group of wives and concubines, servants and maids, and personal guards stood at the door and waited.

In the delicate boudoir, a large flower pot sits near the window.

Bright sunlight poured in through the window and shone on the plants in the pots.

Luo Zheng squatted on the ground, carefully observing the more than ten spiky shoots that had newly grown at the roots of the flowers.

Hearing the footsteps, he immediately turned his head and said, "Wen Ruo came over and took a look." ”

Xun Yu walked over, also squatted down next to him, stared at it for a few moments, and immediately said happily: "It's really Jinmi." ”

Luo Zheng said: "This bud has come out, but it's hard to say what it can grow into." When it grows taller, all the extra ones are pulled out, and only one golden rice plant is left, if it can grow to a foot height, it should be no problem. ”

Xun Yu nodded again and again, and asked, "I don't know how the lord used to make the golden rice sprout?" ”

Luo Zheng said: "This, as long as it is soaked in a kind of water, this golden rice seed can be toothed." ”

Xun Yu immediately said: "I don't know what kind of water to soak in, so I immediately ordered someone to fetch water." ”

Luo Zheng smiled bitterly: "Wen Ruo doesn't know, only General Ben can take this water, and everyone else doesn't believe it, otherwise General Ben would have asked Wen Ruo to order someone to fetch it, how could he wait until now." ”

"This ......"

Xun Yu was a little puzzled to understand what kind of water was so strange.

Luo Zheng pondered for a moment and said: "Wen Ruo can order someone to dig the ground in the Tuntian camp to build a few granaries, twenty zhang in length and width, and Xu Xu in depth, put all the golden rice seeds in it, and wait for the general to take water and soak them." ”

"This, okay!"

Xun Yu had no choice but to agree.

Although there are many questions in my heart, it is difficult to get to the bottom of it.

As long as there is a way to germinate the golden rice seeds, it will not miss the plan of farming.

Out of the general's mansion, Xun Yu immediately rushed to the Tuntian camp, found the lieutenant in charge of Tuntian, and said that Luo Zheng's military commanders immediately organized the Tuntian soldiers to choose a place to excavate, and prepared to build three large warehouses to take water to soak the golden rice seeds.

Luoyang, Situ Mansion.

Wang Yun was writing hard, and suddenly a servant knocked on the door and walked in.

"Master, General Pingdi's envoy Luo Zheng asked to see me."

The servant saluted and said respectfully.

"Luo Zheng's messenger?"

Wang Yun was stunned, immediately put down the brush, and said, "Let him in." ”

The servant agreed, and walked out quickly.

After a while, a middle-aged scribe of about forty years old came in. (To be continued......) R1292
