Xiao Qiao walked to the field and touched the drooping ears of wheat, which were golden and fruitful, very gratifying, and she asked, "Is this the general's cultivation and growth?" ”

Qin Feng smiled: "Exactly! ”

Xiao Qiao was surprised: "The crops in this field are growing better than other places, I don't want the general to be so capable!" ”

Qin Feng walked over: "This is because of the use of new farming methods, and supplemented by fertilizer, in order to grow such good crops, after this harvest, the government will send people to teach the people the methods of ploughing, fertilization and field management, and when the people have learned, they will farm according to this method, and the grain output will definitely increase a lot, and more people can fill their stomachs!" ”

After hearing this, Xiao Qiao said with emotion: "For more than ten years, the princes have fought each other, the world has been very bitter, there are countless people who have broken their families and ruined their families, there are no people for thousands of miles, and the people have no food and no clothes!" If the general is an official, he can increase the yield of the acres of land, and he can live countless people, which is a great merit! ”

Qin Feng was surprised: "Great merit? Isn't this what a magistrate should have done? ”

Xiao Qiao was obviously stunned after hearing this, and then looked at him stupidly.

Back at Taishou Mansion, Qin Feng summoned his advisers and officials to discuss the matter of farmland and water conservancy.

"Deng Zhi, let's talk about the inventory and re-registration of the fields under our military jurisdiction in the past six months!"

Deng Zhi stood up and said: "Lord Qi, the matter of field inventory and re-registration is only going well in Wancheng and the surrounding counties, but there is a lot of resistance in the remote counties, and the local heroes and scholars are huge, and the county officials are blocked by these heroes and scholars when they are implemented, and they are not allowed to measure the acres of land, snatch the measuring tools in their hands, tear up the register in the hands of the errand officials, and do not recognize the land deeds issued by the government to the farmers who have reclaimed the wasteland, and they also send people to drive the farmers. Take the farmer's newly cultivated land for yourself! ”

"Bump!" Qin Feng was furious when he heard this, slapped the desk violently, and said angrily: "How can it be true that you dare to confront the government, you sent a letter to the county officials, asking them to report to the Taishou Mansion about those who resisted the government's decrees, did not cooperate with the re-measurement of the acres of land, and destroyed the local heroes and scholars who reclaimed wasteland and expanded production!" ”

At this time, Yang Hong stood up and said to Qin Feng: "Lord, I am afraid that such a method will have little effect!" Nowadays, most of the county officials are people from the local Haoqiang and Shi clans, although they are under the command of the lord and are under the jurisdiction of the lord, but when they encounter such things that obviously infringe on the interests of the local Haoqiang and Shi clans, they will definitely not carry it out! ”

Qin Feng frowned, "Then according to Yang Gong's opinion, how should this matter be resolved?" How can this decree be carried out smoothly? If these local magnates and nobles continue to control most of the land, how can the rest of the people survive? After many years of chaos in the world, isn't it enough for the people to suffer? If we compromise with those powerful and noble clans, won't this world still change the soup and not the medicine? ”

"How the other princes govern their jurisdictions, Ben will not be able to control, but under Ben Jiang's rule, all the people must be fed and clothed!"

Yang Hong thought for a while, and said with a hard head: "If the lord wants to implement the new policy strongly, he must first solve the affairs of the county officials, these officials are all related to the Shi clan, either they are the children of the Shi clan, or they are the house slaves of the Shi clan!" Through the implementation of the New Deal, we can see whether these people are truly loyal to the Lord! ”

"It can be seen that the officials who resolutely implemented the new policy are loyal to the lord, and those who have not implemented the new policy or have not implemented it thoroughly are afraid that their loyalty to the lord is also limited, and the lord might as well remove them from their official positions and choose someone else!"

Yan Xiang didn't agree with these words, he stood up and said to Qin Feng: "Yang Gong's words are only afraid that they are inappropriate, now those who can be officials are all people from the scholar clan, and others can not govern a county well if they become officials, if these officials are dismissed, who will govern the people of the counties for the lord?" ”

In the final analysis, this is still a common social phenomenon, the scholars have a firm grasp of knowledge, and a firm grasp of the passage to enter the officialdom and rise, ordinary people want to be officials and can't even find the door!

Yang Hong insisted on his own thoughts, he said: "Yan Gong's words are wrong, not only scholars can be officials, and not only scholars can do a good job as officials!" I thought that I could select clever and decisive people from the army and send them to various counties to serve as county lieutenants and preside over the military! In addition, some small officials loyal to the lord can be selected from the Taishou Mansion and sent to serve as officials in various counties, or directly promoted from the low-level officials in each county, although these people have not been officials, but their talents are not necessarily worse than those scholars, and they are all practical people, and their governance experience is even richer than that of county officials! These low-level officials, their only drawback is that they have a bad background! ”

When Qin Feng heard this, he was quite excited and said: "Yang Gong's words are very much in line with my heart, in my opinion, this matter is feasible!" ”

Next, Qin Feng said to Deng Zhi: "In another day or twenty, it will be time to harvest the crops, during which time you will send people to teach the farmers the new methods of farming and manure, and try to let the farmers learn before harvesting the crops, and when they finish harvesting the crops, they will be able to plow according to the new method!" ”

"Subordinates obey!" Deng Zhi agreed.

"Another thing, I remember that this crop can only be planted once a year, why do farmers plant two crops? Can you produce two crops in two crops? Qin Feng asked.

Deng Zhi arched his hand and said: "Lord, the people planting two seasons is also a helpless move, originally planted one season of wheat, and then planted another season of sorghum or millet and beans, but if there is a big chaos today, the local government is harsh, the people have to pay more taxes, collect more wheat, and collect less sorghum, millet rice, beans, and millet, and many people have no livestock at home, so there is no need to plant sorghum, millet and beans!" ”

Qin Feng actually found that the temperature was relatively low in the past two years, especially in May and June, and even in May and June, there was still snow.

Generally speaking, spring wheat is planted in the area north of the Great Wall, and east wheat is planted in the area south of the Great Wall, because wheat must have a wintering process in order for the ears of wheat to grow well.

Qin Feng guessed that now the end of the Han Dynasty this period is only afraid to enter the Xiaoice River period, the temperature throughout the year is generally low, the real weather is relatively hot throughout the year only in July and August, the temperature at other times is not high, especially after entering October, the temperature is obviously landslide-like, and at the end of October it will enter the cold winter season, and in May of the following year it is still icy and snowy.
