Volume 1 Chapter 400 Thanks to Uncle Farmer, thanks to C
In the summer of the twelfth year of Daye, on the first day of the fourth month, the west courtyard of Daye Hall was on fire, Yang Guang thought that a thief was coming, fled into the West Garden, hid in the grass, and only came out after the fire was extinguished. Emperor Yang has not slept well every night since the eighth year of the great cause, and often wakes up with palpitations, saying that if there is a thief, he must order several women to shake and soothe before he can sleep.
On the seventh day of the first month of April, Zhen Zhai'er, the general of Lishan Fei, led 100,000 people to attack Taiyuan, and the general Pan Changwen was defeated and died.
At the May court meeting, Emperor Yang asked his courtiers about the situation of the thieves, and Zuo Yiwei's general Yuwen recounted: "It is gradually decreasing. ”
Emperor Yang said: "How much less than in the past? Yu Wenshu replied: "Not as much as one-tenth of the past." ”
Nayan Su Wei hid behind the pillar, Emperor Yang called Su Wei to the seat and asked him, Su Wei replied: "I am not an official in charge of this area, I don't know how many thieves there are, but the thieves are getting closer and closer to Beijing." ”
Emperor Yang asked, "Why do you say that?" ”
Su Wei said: "In the past, thieves only occupied Changbai Mountain, but now they are close to Bishui. Besides, where are the tenants and servants of the past now? Aren't people all thieves? Recently, I have seen that none of the thieves in the previous performance are true, so the measures are inappropriate, and the thieves cannot be eliminated in time. Also, when he was in Yanmen before, he had promised to stop the expedition to Liaodong, and now he has sent soldiers, how can the thieves be quelled? ”
Emperor Yang was not happy when he heard this, so he gave up. Soon on the 5th of May, many of the officials paid tribute to the treasures, but Su Wei presented the "Book of Shang", and some people slandered Su Wei and said: "There is "Song of the Five Sons" in the "Book of Shang", and Su Wei's meaning is very disrespectful. Emperor Yang was even more angry. Soon after, Emperor Yang asked Su Wei about the conquest of Goryeo, and Su Wei wanted Emperor Yang to know that there were many thieves in the world, so he replied: "Now about the conquest of Liao, I hope that I will not send troops, as long as the thieves are pardoned, they can naturally get hundreds of thousands of people and send them to the east, these people are happy to be pardoned for their sins, and they will compete for meritorious service, and Goryeo can be extinguished." ”
Emperor Yang was not happy, and Su Wei withdrew. Imperial Doctor Pei Yun said: "This is too disrespectful, where are there many thieves in the world?" Emperor Yang said: "This old guy is extremely treacherous, and he uses thieves to scare me, I want to hit him in the mouth, so I can bear with it for the time being." ”
Pei Yun knew the intentions of Emperor Yang of Lu Dao, so he asked Zhang Xingben, a commoner in Henan, to play: "When Su Wei was in charge of the selection of officials in Gaoyang in the past, he indiscriminately conferred official positions, feared the Turks, and asked to return to Beijing. Emperor Yang ordered someone to conduct a review and verification, which constituted a crime, so Emperor Yang issued an edict to count Su Wei's crimes and remove him from the people. More than a month later, someone reported that Su Wei and the Turks secretly colluded to plot misdeeds, and the matter was handed over to Pei Yun to be investigated and prosecuted, and Pei Yun sentenced Su Wei to death. Su Wei couldn't defend himself, but apologized very sadly.
Emperor Yang took pity on Su Wei and released him, saying, "If you can't bear it, kill him." "Remove all three generations of Suvay's children and grandchildren from the people.
The important ministers of the country, because they told the truth, together with the three generations of their children and grandchildren, were all removed from the people, and this was the result of Yang Guangsheng's compassion. As soon as this news came out, all the ministers in the world were helpless, and they became more and more gloomy about the future of the Great Sui Dynasty.
At least this son looked down on Yang Guang more and more, and when he exterminated the Dahan thief Zhu Cang, Ben Gongzi defeated 30,000 Dahan thieves and captured more than 3,000 enemies with less than 3,000 soldiers.
Well, when I saw this reward, my son was so angry that he almost laughed, what kind of trouble is this, I remember a poem of my son back then, and I got a lot of rewards, and today, I rescued nearly 10,000 people and escaped, but in exchange for this kind of reward with more symbolic significance, how can I make my son happy?
In addition to the very formulaic expression of gratitude, Ben Gongzi still focuses on people's livelihood. The population of Hanseong County has skyrocketed, and industry and agriculture have developed by leaps and bounds, such as shipbuilding, papermaking, coal, steel, porcelain, farming, transportation, mining, lime, cement, and many other fields.
At present, there are 2,000 mining workers in the iron mine in Hancheng County alone, and 20,000 catties of ore are mined every day. The monthly steel output of the smelter has reached more than 100,000 catties. And it's still growing slowly
Industry drives commerce, and commerce also achieves industry, and the annual tax in Hancheng County is still stable at the level of the past, but the wealth of this son can only be described as a somersault-like growth.
Although a lot of manpower and material resources have been invested in infrastructure construction, good infrastructure can better promote the development of industry and commerce.
And all this came under the guidance and guidance of this son, and I am now standing next to the rice field, watching those skilled farmers who are using sickles to quickly harvest the golden wheat waves in the fields.
"It's really fast enough, and in less than two months, the rice is really ripe." Wei Yunqi stood beside me with a speechless expression. "Looking at this frame, I'm afraid that if it's an acre of land, it will be able to collect at least three stones."
"It's impossible to be just over three stones, at least four stones." Next to him, an old farmer boldly said, looking at the densely planted Cham rice in this rice field, the old farmer's vision must be much more professional.
"If you can get four stones per acre, then it is really developed." Yang Qiong looked blankly at the farmers who had been piled up in front of the pedal rice threshing machine, and looked at the golden rice grains, which fell from the exit of the machine into the big bucket that had been prepared, and every time it was full, it was poured into the grain cart not far away, and someone was recording there next to him, and from time to time he told the farmer that the bucket was too sharp and should be smoothed out before moving away.
The color is golden, the grains are full of grains, lying in the palm of this son, admiring this grain of Cham rice, my son is more and more pleased in his heart, well, although only one section can be planted in the north, but in other seasons, things like winter wheat can be planted, at least in the south of the Yellow River and the Guanzhong Plain, there is absolutely no problem.
Today is the first day of opening the sickle, so let's harvest one acre first, let's test it, and see how many stones of grain can be produced per acre. Ten peasants worked together, and soon one acre of land was harvested.
"Childe, Childe, the data comes out, this acre of land, a total of four and a half stones of rice have been obtained." When the guy in charge of recording the data waited for the last weigh-in to be weighed, he couldn't help but shout excitedly.
At least hundreds of people were watching the soy sauce on the side, and they were all in an uproar. "Four and a half stones? Wouldn't this be, I heard that the good acres in Luoyang are intensively cultivated, and the rice planted is only four stones, and this kind of rice, in less than two months, can actually produce so much rice? ”
The sound of gossip came and went, and I heard my son's scalp explode, but I was in a good mood now, and I didn't have the time to pay attention to it, well, four and a half stones, rely on it, soybeans and millet together to increase each other's yield, and only two stones, and winter wheat survived a winter, and it was only two and a half stones after growing for several months, and this thing actually jumped to four and a half stones.
It is a pity that in this era, there is no corn for Shenma, there is no sweet potato for what is good, and there is no potato for what is good, otherwise, I believe that the GDP of the Chinese nation will definitely account for more than 95% of the total number of the earth.
But I'm very glad, at least there is still a little bit of rice, anyway, in a few years, when the Tang Empire is established, when the time comes, I will form an ocean-going fleet and go to the New World to get some potatoes, corn, and sweet potato seeds.
30,000 acres of land, it took two days, well, there is nothing else in Hancheng County, there are definitely enough people, and 90% of the people in this era are living in the fields, all young and middle-aged, almost all of them are experts in working in the fields, of course, except for the powerless gentleman like Ben Gongzi, even Wei Yunqi got off the ground with his feet and sleeves, and cut it all afternoon.
The 36,000 acres of land were harvested in only two days, and all of them were stored in the grain depot of Hancheng County, that is, in a large granary behind the courtyard of Ben Gongzi, and the 36,000 acres of land alone harvested 162,000 stone of grain.
It is a pity that there are too few cattle in this county, otherwise, at least about 150,000 acres of fields in this county can be used to grow rice.
"In addition to harvesting grain, a few days ago, a total of more than 700,000 catties of fish were caught." Yang Qiong looked at the data in her hand and sighed. "We, the fishermen in Hancheng County, have been fishing for the past year, and I'm afraid there aren't so many. It's good to be able to raise fish and increase production. ”
"That's because fish can eat weeds and pests in the water without any feed, and the manure they excrete is an excellent fertilizer for rice, so it can naturally increase rice yields." This son is very proud.
Well, thanks to CC, thanks to the townships where I work and live, and thanks to those simple and simple farmers, it is they who let my son know that the use of rice field water to raise fish, not only to obtain fish products, but also to use fish to eat pests and weeds in the rice field, excrete manure, turn the soil to promote fertilizer decomposition, and create good conditions for the growth of rice, which can generally increase the yield of rice by about one percent, and the highest yield can even increase to two percent
In later generations, this method was adopted to increase both grain and fish, and it could make the rice fields apply less chemical fertilizers and spray pesticides, save labor and increase income. In this era, chemical fertilizer can only be a dream, but compound fertilizer is still not up to the level of chemical fertilizer after all, but after the increase of fish, the increase in rice production has become a reality, and it is absolutely natural and pollution-free.
At least this kind of production has made everyone jaw-dropping, and I feel very satisfied, yes, in such an era, it is already very satisfying to be able to obtain such a large production.
"If my Great Sui is like Hancheng County run by Gongzi everywhere, then the world will be peaceful and prosperous." Han Xiong said with a long sigh.
"It's a pity that in the Great Sui Dynasty now, there are almost no places that can really be peaceful." Han Shige pursed his lips and sneered.
