Li Zheng is 60 years old this year, and has experienced war and hunger.

Now he is a lonely old man, his wife starved to death in the first year of Wude, and one of his four sons was not an adult, so he was given away because of famine, and it is impossible to contact him again these years.

The other three, all dead. Died on the battlefield and died for Li Tang Jiangshan.

There were also a few grandchildren by his side, but there was some comfort from the old man. Among them, two grandsons were junior military attachés, and one of them also became a captain in the Qin Palace's personal guards, and a captain on the eighth grade.

If you want Lao Li Tou to have any thoughts, that is, the grandchildren have not married, because the family is poor.

Those who are soldiers also have a low status.

King Qin Jianzhuang, the grandson of Lao Li Tou, checked three generations and rated it as excellent. Then he was sent to the Qin Wangfu as a personal guard, and his subordinates were in charge of more than a dozen people, and Lao Li Tou became the Zhuang of Qin Wangzhuang. For Lao Li Tou, as well as the more than 10,000 households here, it doesn't make a difference between King Qin, King Qi or any king, anyway, it's right to be a farmer.

But this King of Qin is so different, who has ever seen the prince go to the ground, although the layman who does the work, but he is really a prince who has picked a hoe and played with a shovel.

This will finally be harvested in autumn, and each household in Qinwangzhuang has several IOUs, IOUs according to handprints.

They owe food, cloth, houses, and money.

Qinwang Farm, all four-open courtyards, has a stable and no cowshed. The small plot of land at the door can be used to grow vegetables, but it is not allowed to be dirty. Dirty water is poured into a special culvert, and clean water is introduced with a clay pipe. There is no firewood room in the courtyard, because Qinwang Farm does not allow firewood. To use coal, say that clean.

No, every household has made an IOU again, owing Qinwangzhuang 3,000 yuan for briquettes, which is 100 yuan.

The first village of Qinwang Farm was built by Qinwang Wangjianhaode, and then seventy-eight villages were built, each with one hundred and fifty-six households. A village is responsible for 10,000 acres of land in Qinwang Farm, and now the fertile land in each village has accounted for forty percent, and I think that next year, the fertile land in each village will be full.

The village may be rebuilt. Every village should follow the example of the old village. There can't be a single mistake.

How big the yard is, how deep and wide the ditch is, how many layers of soil the road is, and how wide it is, there are all fixed numbers. His Royal Highness King Qin is a person who likes rules. The rules set by this later life dared to change. Li Zheng Lao Li Tou will break his legs.

The autumn harvest is coming soon. This corn has been tasted once, and he has only tasted a few grains, or the last time a big man came to Zhuangzi. His Royal Highness the King of Qin cooked the reward. Looking at this field, the old man didn't dare to eat, and he didn't let any household eat it, who dared to eat it, broke his leg, there was absolutely no negotiation.

In the past few days, the village has eaten white rice, as well as fine noodles, and the smell of pancakes has made the dolls in the school not honestly study.

The Holy One is coming, and this is a big deal.

Lao Li Tou has a thought, let's also have a long face, give His Royal Highness the King of Qin a long face, and let the saint know that the farmers in Qinwangzhuang are doing well, and this King Qin is benevolent. I heard that the king of Qin let him be punished, and I don't know if His Royal Highness the king of Qin has enough food at home, so he distributed the food when the saint came on the same day.

This will be winter soon, and when the green and yellow are not harvested tomorrow, Qin Wangzhuang will not dare to run out of food.

Said to be fined, many of the farmers in the village are from the army, and they also understand some truths, I heard that they killed a governor of everything, and that kind of goods dragged General Cheng back when he was fighting, to say that this kind of person, it is not an exaggeration to kill his whole family, so the farmers in the village all think that King Qin is wronged, and this punishment must be a bad thing done by those sour scholars.

Naturally, Lao Li Tou would not tell King Qin these words.

He just said: "Your Highness, the old decay will let the saint see the prosperity of Zhuangzi, and the saint is also happy!" ”

It's a simple, very simple sentence. Li Yuanxing has no reason to refuse, the autumn harvest is a happy event in itself, the Tang Emperor is happy with the people, and it is also a good story recorded in the annals.

"That's right." Li Yuanxing turned around and said to the guards beside him: "Tell the one from Luoyang to enter Zhuangzi one day later." There are also those in Chang'an City who come to exchange seeds to enter the village the day after tomorrow. The head car should be dressed in red, and the whole car should be more festive. ”

The guards ran away, and Li Yuanxing continued to turn into the field with his hands behind his back: "Harvest the corn and repair the canal!" This winter, the fertile land was planted with wheat, and the fertilizer was first plowed and fertilized. ”

"Written down!" Old man Li answered beside him.

Li Yuanxing is a layman, and this farm work is at most at the level of thirty percent, but Lao Li Tou will not say much, His Royal Highness King Qin, you don't understand farming. He knew how to plant, when to plant, and how to take care of the land. His Royal Highness the King of Qin said that wheat should be planted, but how to plant it, and when the time comes, a few old guys will sit down and discuss, and come up with a good solution.

"How many days does it take to plant wheat?" Li Yuanxing asked again.

"Your Highness wants to employ workers?" Lao Li asked a question.

Li Yuanxing shook his head: "No, tidy up the wasteland, and use it at the beginning of spring tomorrow." The one I asked you to dig in the cellar is what I have to store it, and you can plant it without picking the ground, and you can plant it with a lot of sand. ”

"How much is that grain per acre?" Lao Li asked curiously.

Li Yuanxing smiled and looked around. Li Yuanxing's action aroused the vigilance of the guards, and they also looked around. I found that the nearest outsider was also a hundred steps away, and then I returned to normal. There are some outsiders in this Zhuangzi now, the Seventh Family has already divided the land, and the seeds of their future are harvested.

Therefore, in the Zhuangzi, it is not all the farmers in the Zhuangzi.

"That thing, one acre of yellow skin is harvested for two seasons, and the first season is well maintained, nearly 7,000 catties. Half of it was in the autumn season. After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, Lao Li Tou covered his mouth tightly with both hands, for fear that he would make a little noise. 10,000 catties per mu! If it weren't for the yield per mu before the corn, Lao Li would have fainted on the spot.

Li Yuanxing smiled and patted Lao Li Tou twice: "Don't be surprised, that thing is just miscellaneous grains, not refined grains." ”

"Can't you eat it as a meal?"

"I can be it, but I eat too much and my stomach is pantothenic. That's why I say it's miscellaneous grains, not proper grains! However, that thing keeps the workshop in order, but it is good dry food that can be stored for many years, and it will be of great use if there is a famine or something. Li Yuanxing explained.

Pantothenic acid! What pantothenic acid has. Lao Li Tou, who has even eaten Guanyin soil, is still afraid that he will be pantothenic, and he will not wake up with a smile in his dream if he can eat enough real food. The one who hasn't eaten a few dry meals, the one who dares to pick and choose.

Li Yuanxing said again: "However, that purple-skinned and purple-hearted one, you have to look at it, that one is planted for my imperial brother!" ”

Lao Li Tou nodded vigorously, Lao Li Tou, who knew a few words, naturally understood that what poems were also written, purple qi or something, this purple grain was naturally going to be holy. It is not an exaggeration for ordinary people to eat and kill their heads.

Turn your head. Li Yuanxing said to the guards again: "Dig twenty more cellars, look at it!" ”

The guard bowed: "Your Highness, rest assured, that thief in Qin Wangzhuang dares to come, and there will be no return!" The guard replied murderously. He could hear it clearly. This thing yields 10,000 catties per mu.

Qinwei's family is also in the Qinwang Farm. With this thing, who will go hungry.

Li Yuanxing nodded with satisfaction, seeing that it was almost noon. said to Lao Li Tou: "Lao Li Tou, how about this king eat at your house at noon?" After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, Lao Li Tou was so excited that he almost went crazy, and immediately knelt down: "There is green smoke on the ancestral grave of a certain family, and a certain family is prosperous!" ”

The simplicity of the Tang people, Li Yuanxing was only moved in his heart.

At this time, on the official road between Luoyang and Chang'an, Qu Tutong personally escorted the car and was rushing from Luoyang with 500 carts.

Luoyang was known as the eastern capital in the Sui period, and there were not only straight roads between Luoyang and Chang'an, but also canals.

Five hundred carts were pulling silk, silk, silver, and money. And there are hundreds of large ships, loaded with grain, sheep, pigs. Qu Tutong is a military general, the Tang Emperor and the Tang Qin King personally issued an order, he executed it without any discount, the progress of land reclamation is extremely high, and many fields are only coarsely planted with wheat.

A few days ago, when he saw the fresh corn cobs that had been sent in an expedited manner for 800 miles, he was so excited that he didn't sleep all night.

Thousands of pounds per mu!

Seventy percent of the output of the entire Qinwang Farm was left for him to be planted in Luoyang, and the newly opened fields, sparse seeds, can also reach a yield of 500 catties per mu. This is what Li Yuanxing promised him, the empirical evidence that Luoyang fields produce hundreds of millions of stone of grain!

The Luojia clan family warehouse and the Luojia official warehouse were picked up by Qu Tutong and moved empty.

Whoever dares not to produce food, who does not have money, who does not produce silk, who does not produce people, and who does not contribute to it. Immortal grain was banned for five years and reported to Chang'an. The counties directly gave bad reviews, and the scholars were not allowed to enter the office for three years, and they were not allowed to conduct scientific examinations for five years.

Who is not convinced!

Qu Tutong held the holy decree and the Qin king's decree in one hand, and a steel knife in the other. Ten thousand elites will reason with you!

His Royal Highness the King of Qin said that Luoyang is the granary of the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty, so Luoyang must be a granary, and next year the grain will definitely receive more than 100 million stones, which is the expectation of the saint and the king of Qin!

Qu Tutong held his breath, even if he was desperate, he would reach Luoyang over 100 million stones.

Luoyang and Chang'an are eight hundred and eighty miles, and they will arrive in Chang'an one day, and Qu Tutong has a smile on his face. The fatigue of the past few days has made the old general have some gray hair on his head, but he is full of energy.

At the same time, Li Yuanxing also went to the village, and the schoolchildren ran home in groups after school.

The distance between villages is not far, Li Yuanxing takes five miles as the boundary, and the villages within five miles set up a hall in the middle of the village, and the village of Qinwang Farm no longer needs to gather thousands of people in the ancestral hall to study at the same time.

The newly built school can have 300 children studying at the same time.

As for those who are older and more knowledgeable, those who can participate in the county examination are all studying in the newly built university hall next to Qinwangzhuang.

"Seeing this, this king is really happy in his heart!" Li Yuanxing is really happy, this is a peaceful scene.

Lao Li gave a salute: "All this is because His Royal Highness the King of Qin is benevolent, the dolls can only read, and the old have support!" ”

Li Yuanxing smiled and did not answer.

The two grandsons of Lao Li's family who are in the fourteenth and fifth years of life have been noodles with haode noodles and white noodles. This is the white noodles given to each family when the seventh family changes seeds, and Lao Li Tou thinks that this is a good day, and he should let a few grandchildren eat a meal haode. Not only is there white noodles, but there is also mutton boiling in the cauldron, which is really to open meat.

Bai has already risen, but Li Yuanxing's arrival made Lao Li Tou react, and there was less of this.

Li Yuanxing rolled up his sleeves at this time: "Watch this king cook himself!" (To be continued......)

PS: The Qinwang Farm in Datang will become more and more haode.
