The people of Fuxian County are full of lights, singing and dancing, and they welcome each other with the pot pulp, although Liu Chan is a little strange to the people, but in recent years, they have continuously reduced taxes and developed water conservancy and fertile land, and the people are still grateful to the heavens.
Li Chunzhi said, by Huo Ge and Xiang Pet along the way to maintain order, Zhao Yun personally guarded Liu Chan with a sword, followed by Liu Xuan and Empress Zhang Xingcai, followed by Liu Li, King of Anping, Liu Yong, King of Ganling, and officials of the court, Huang Luo umbrella cover slowly meandered towards the cultivated land.
The time came to the cultivated land, where the terrain was flat, and from a distance, the terraced fields on the northern hill were all over the place, layer upon layer, and the green was already full, and the blue waves of countless canals rippled, and the waterwheels in the fields made a creaking sound.
Among the cultivated land selected by Meng Guang, five white ploughing cattle stood neatly, and the selected old farmers stood neatly, their dark and wrinkled faces overflowed with excited light, and several people couldn't help but cry.
—An ordinary person can walk with the heavens in his lifetime, what more can he ask for?
Liu Chan came to the altar under the leadership of Meng Guang, first held a ceremony to worship the heavens and sacrifices to the peasants, after a long prayer and worship ceremony, Liu Chan and Tai Xiao, as well as Liu Li, the king of Anping, Liu Yong, the king of Ganling, and Meng Guang, the great farmer, each came to the first ploughing ox, ready to plough it himself.
Empress Zhang Xingcai stood behind her with many palace maids, carrying bamboo baskets filled with grain and seeds, ready to sow seeds with the support of more than a dozen peasant women, while other people lined up on both sides with farm tools in their hands, and those were the real cultivators.
The excellent people of the Church Division have been preparing for a long time, dressing up as the gods of wind, thunder, rain and land, and some children dressed up as farmers and peasant women, singing carols to celebrate the peace of the world, the wind and rain, and the harvest of the coming year.
After the song and dance, there are two old farmers as the "guide officer" to lead the ox, two old farmers to assist in the plow, Liu Chan left hand holding the yellow dragon velvet whip, right hand holding the golden dragon plow, in the sound of excited shouting, began to plough the field.
Perhaps it was the first time he tried farming, Liu Chan was still excited at first, learning from the old farmer to shout and drink the oxen to look good, but he didn't want to leave—half, he was panting, sweating like rain, and couldn't speak anymore.
"Your Majesty, thousands of people are watching, you have to persevere!" When Huang Hao saw Liu Chan's expression, he understood that he wanted to give up, so he hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him, if he interrupted his own cultivation at this time, he would be a faint monarch who disregarded the people's livelihood.
"Tired—too tired—I ......" Liu Chan wiped his sweat, his feet were sunk in the soil, and he felt that his feet weighed a thousand pounds and could no longer lift them.
"Your Majesty, the matter has come to this point, you must not give up halfway, how hard it is for the first emperor to start a business, don't you stick to it?" Huang Hao whispered and persuaded again, "We have set the autumn harvest to inspect the states, if Your Majesty does not complete the pro-cultivation ceremony, I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince others at that time, and we will not be able to go to Chang'an again!" Liu Chan's ploughing ox walked in the front, he stopped, and several ploughing oxen behind also had to slow down, no one dared to surpass the ploughing ox of Tianxiao, Huang Hao was even more anxious, and even persuaded him.

"Touring the states?" Liu Chan's sweaty hand paused slightly, "Yes, I want to go to Chang'an, Chang'an!"
Speaking of Chang'an, Liu Chan's gaze suddenly became firm, gritted his teeth, and continued to walk slowly behind the ploughing ox, looking at the end of the ploughing land, only to feel farther and farther away.
Although the two old farmers who assisted in supporting the plough were excited, Bi Jing was also experienced for a long time, and felt that his hands were getting heavier and heavier, Liu Chan was almost lying on top of the wooden plow, and the two of them also secretly gritted their teeth, and tried their best to support the wooden plough and almost carried Liu Chan forward slowly.
The distance of 900 and 50 feet long was accurately measured by Meng Guang according to the ancient rites, indicating that the Ninety-Five Supreme, - can not be reduced at all, even if this distance, - down, Liu Chan has already trembled, sweating like pulp.
Finally completed the pro-ploughing ceremony, Huo Ge hurriedly commanded several Yu Linwei to carry a sedan chair to take Liu Chan to the ploughing platform, sit and watch the ministers plow, the officials sow the seeds, and the old peasants then led the oxen to cover the soil.
This - the sound of the Fuxian drum music vibrates the sky, there are cheers everywhere, more hot than the New Year, the people run to tell each other, and they are extremely proud to see the sky moving with their own eyes.
For example, the people present will each get two steamed buns and two catties of meat from the emperor, and the old farmers and children who are honored to assist the emperor in completing the ploughing work can also get two pieces of cloth and wine altars for each person, which is very glorious. Although this ceremony is only symbolic, but for Liu Chan, it is not easy, usually in the palace underwear to stretch out the hand, the meal to open the mouth, said that the child is very comfortable, this time walking in the pine soft cultivated land, personally holding a hoe, plowing the field, sweat like rain, the taste, really not
Feel.
After returning to the palace, Liu Chan really experienced the suffering of the people, in fact, he just walked in the field, he was already panting like an ox, boiling like lead, and the people of the world are in such a hard work every day, how hard is it?
After resting for three whole days, the aches and pains in his body were completely reduced, Liu Chan took the initiative to go to court for the first time, and announced that he would take a break with the people, except for the counties that had been exempt from taxes for three years, and the rest of the states and counties would be reduced by one-third - taxes. This news - came out, the people of the land of Shu Han were all rejoicing, and someone in Zitong also personally painted - a deputy "Emperor Ploughing the Field", in the painting - the emperor wearing a crown and wearing a dragon robe is holding a plow and raking the field, followed by a minister, - holding a bamboo basket, - hand sowing seeds, and the ox is leading
—An official in a robe, and in the distance a queen and a maid carrying a basket to deliver food.
Although this painting is slightly different from the original scene, it is quite praised by the scribes of Shilin, and since it has also spread out - the first nursery rhyme, February 2, the dragon raises its head, the day is a ploughing minister to catch the cow, the palace Niangniang comes to deliver food, when the minister of the court throws away the seeds, the spring ploughing and summer cultivation rate the world, and the five grains are abundant in the peaceful autumn.

Liu Changsheng led the army to Zhongyang, the road is rugged, the mountains are steep, the West River is divided into two halves by Luliang Mountain, and Zhongyang is in the relatively open valley in the middle of Luliang Mountain.
And the state is mountainous, Taihang is the most dangerous, Taihang Eight Paths has always been a military important place, and Luliang Mountain runs through the West River, there are also many dangerous places, after crossing the Fenshui to the east of the river, the terrain is open and flat.
The east of the river is rich, the west river is barren, and even after the Xiongnu moved inward, it is also a big reason for Cao Wei to give up this place, which belongs to the northern Shaanxi belt of later generations, although the vegetation is dense at this time, there is no drought, but the terrain restricts the development of this place.
After Cao Wei occupied and annexed the state, the land of Tuntian was in Hedong and Hanoi, and the Xihe and Shangjun to the west of Taihang were basically abandoned, and as for Wuyuan County and Yunzhong County outside the Great Wall, they were even more powerless to govern.
Although Liu Changsheng understood the geographical advantages of the Hetao Plain, he could only sigh at this stage, and the Hetao Plain, which was occupied by the Xianbei army, probably did not have a piece of fertile land to cultivate, and it was not an easy task to develop it.
To the south of Zhongyang City is the Fenshui River that runs through Bingzhou, and in this era the water situation is very rapid, and a lot of timber is transported from the north to Luoyang by water.
The left part of the Xiongnu has Zhang Bao and Xu Ling to contain it, Liu Changsheng is not worried about the threat from the east, in the place where the east gate and Hanoi meet, there is also Huo Mountain separated, which can be described as a Dao Tianqi.
Zhongyang faced only two enemies, namely the southern Xiongnu of Pu and the Cao Wei army from Hedong, according to the report of the sentinel, Luoyang had sent an elite gallop to help Hedong, and this road threat must be eliminated as soon as possible.
Rectify the Ping Pong Horse, Liu Changsheng sent scouts to explore the news of Hedong, the original surprise attack on Xihe was intended to merge with the state, but after coming to the West River, he found that the situation was dangerous, if he wanted to enter the state from the West River, over the mountains and mountains, it was not conducive to the army, and Cao Yu led the heavy table tennis garrison, Liu Changsheng looked at the east of the river.
If you can take the east side of the river, point to Luoyang and vibrate Gyeonggi, it will be a blow to Cao Wei, and if you can use the advantage of the navy to cross the river and take Luoyang directly, the death knot of Tongguan will be opened.
When the news of Liu Chanchungeng came, the whole army was excited, and His Majesty was able to attach importance to the government and government, which was undoubtedly a blow to everyone.
Liu Changsheng got this news, but he felt extremely strange, whether it was from the historical performance or the actual understanding, Liu Chan was not a person who liked pro-government, let alone such a hard thing as farming.
However, as the lord of the country, it is a good thing for the entire Shu Han to be able to set such an example, whether it is the efforts of the ministers of the DPRK and the central government, or the change of Liu Chan himself, Liu Changsheng feels relieved in his heart.
"I have changed this troubled world, what is Liu Chan's change?"
Stunned for a moment, Liu Changsheng couldn't help but smile and shake his head, because of his arrival, many events in this world have been changed, and people may not be those people in history anymore.
