Lady Gan said, "General, if Uncle Huang hears the news that my two sisters are here, he will definitely send someone to pick them up; If so······ If you don't send someone to pick it up, it's the life of my two sisters, and I can't complain about the general! ”

Qin Feng smiled: "That's good!" ”

Then Qin Feng had a drink and talked with the two of them, "I wonder what the two ladies do at home?" ”

Mrs. Mi said: "It's nothing more than sewing and mending, embroidering and painting!" ”

Qin Feng was very curious and looked at Mrs. Mi: "Madame can also paint?" ”

Mrs. Mi said shyly: "When I was a daughter's family, I learned some from the gentleman invited by my father and brother!" ”

Qin Feng asked, "Do you have a draft?" Can you give Ben a look? ”

Mrs. Mi got up and went to get the paintings, and after a while, she brought a few and handed them to Qin Feng with both hands: "The painting is not good, I'm afraid that I won't be able to enter the eyes of the general!" ”

Qin Feng took the calligraphy and painting and unfolded it, and saw that the first painting was an uncle, with two cicadas resting on the branches, and the painting was vivid, he didn't know how to paint, but he also felt that this skill was profound.

Looking at the second picture, the painting shows a woman sitting sideways in front of the window, supporting her chin with one hand and falling into contemplation, looking at the side face of the woman in the painting, it seems to look a little like Mrs. Gan, and then look at the shape and color of the clothes that Mrs. Gan is wearing at this time.

"Is this Mrs. Gan? Draw it like it! Qin Feng couldn't help but say.

Mrs. Mi smiled and said, "Let the general see and laugh!" ”

The third painting depicts a scene from a courtyard.

After looking at these three paintings, Qin Feng didn't know how to paint, but from the content of the paintings, he figured out the meaning and emotions that Mrs. Mi wanted to express when she painted.

He looked at Mrs. Mi: "Madame, these three auxiliary paintings are very good, why don't you sell them to me?" ”

"Forehead······ Sell? The general laughed, this is just a boring idle work of the slave family, if the general likes to take it! Mrs. Mi said.

Qin Feng shook his head, "Madame's painting skills are exquisite, I can take one pair, and the other two must be bought!" ”

When leaving, Qin Feng said to Mrs. Mi and Mrs. Gan: "Tomorrow, I will order someone to send someone to buy the painting money!" By the way, the two ladies can go out to play at will on weekdays, and now they are relatively safe in Chang'an City, but they must bring a few soldiers to escort them when they go out, so as not to bump into the two ladies without knowing the height of the sky! ”

Mrs. Mi was pleasantly surprised: "Can my sister and I go out to play?" ”

Qin Feng said with a smile: "Naturally, the two ladies are guests, not prisoners, why can't they go out?" It's just for the safety of the two ladies, it's best not to go out of the city, after going out of the city, the world is big, if there are bad people who are not good for the two ladies, even if we receive the news in time, we can't rescue in time! ”

"Okay, my sister and I won't go out of the city, just play in the city!" Mrs. Mi said happily.

When Qin Feng was about to leave, he remembered something again, and said, "I want to ask Madame to paint a portrait for me, I wonder when Madame will be free?" ”

"The general wants a portrait, and the slave family can do it at any time!"

"Okay, I'll come and bother the two ladies in a few days!"

The next day, Qin Feng and his entourage went out outside the city to visit the farmers harvesting crops and harvests.

At this time, many farmers outside the city were harvesting their crops, some were planting beans in the fields, and some farmers were planting millet rice. …

In recent years, because of the war, Guanzhong has suffered serious population losses, although after eradicating Dong Zhuo and the remnants of the party, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others, they have returned a lot, but the Guanzhong area is no longer what it used to be.

Within a few years, under Zhong Xuan's rule, many agricultural production in the Guanzhong area was restored, but there was still a scene of depression everywhere.

Many of the fields are barren and uncultivated, the weeds are taller than people, and weeds and shrubs on both sides of the road cover half of the road.

The people who were harvesting the crops in the fields were dressed in tattered clothes, many of them did not even wear a straw hat, and they were tanned and sweaty.

While inspecting the harvest of the people, Deng Zhi, who accompanied him, said: "The farming method is still the same as before, so inefficient!" ”

Qin Feng asked Xi Ji, who was implementing, "Didn't you invent the threshing machine?" The kind that you step on your feet is recommended for these farmers! ”

Xi Ji said: "The threshing mechanism has caused the cost to be high, and the average farmer family can't afford it, if five or ten families pool the money to buy it, it may work!" ”

After hearing this, Qin Feng said, "Isn't it possible to reduce the cost of manufacturing?" Find a way to reduce the cost of production, manufacture these farm tools, first let the people improve production efficiency, and then after these farm tools are popularized, and then the production and manufacturing technology will be transmitted to the people, and the folk craftsmen can make money to support their families, but the people will not be too short of these farm tools, so the price will not be too high, and other people who do not have it can afford it, so as not to let some profiteers who are lustful for profit! ”

"Yes, my lord!" Xi Ji agreed.

Qin Feng said to Deng Zhi again: "You can implement the method of intensive cultivation popularized in Nanyang in Guanzhong, I think that starting from popularizing the method of intensive cultivation to the people, you will first send people to teach the people, and it will be implemented from next spring, and before that, in the autumn and winter of this year, the government can build water conservancy facilities and organize the people to dredge ditches and build dams to stop water!" ”

"If the water conservancy facilities are built and perfected, there will be no need to ask God all the time in the future, when the rainwater is too large, it can be discharged in time, and when the rainwater is insufficient, it can be diverted from the river in time for irrigation, which is the fundamental!"

"Water conservancy facilities should be regularly inspected for damage and repaired, and this cost must be paid by the government! In the future, it is necessary to reduce the forced labor of the common people as much as possible, and in addition to building water conservancy facilities, strengthening embankments, and dredging rivers, the government should build them

^0^ Remember for a second

Other engineering facilities must employ people, and they are not allowed to use people's labor for free! ”

"There is also the iron plough used in Nanyang can also be introduced into Guanzhong, on the issue of farming efficiency, we must vigorously advocate the use of ploughing cattle, mules and horses, the people do not have ploughing cattle and mules and horses at home, we didn't seize a large number of livestock some time ago? In the war, the rebellious landlords and scholars were given a lot of livestock, organized and trained some people, equipped with ploughing oxen or mules and horses, and iron ploughs, and gave the people free of charge, and the people only needed to be responsible for handing over the forage for the harvested crops, and the food for the people who were responsible for plowing the fields! ”

Deng Zhi was surprised: "Lord, isn't this working for the people for nothing?" After a long time, the people will take it for granted, and then ······"

Qin Feng waved his hand and said: "You can't do it all the time, you can't do it for three years and then stop, just start to benefit the people, let the people save some money in their hands first, and when the farm tools at home are available, farming will be convenient!" Moreover, after three years of cultivation, a piece of land becomes cooked land, and it will save a lot of effort to cultivate it in the future! ”

"These people who drive cattle and mules and horses to plough the fields are paid by the government, and the government sends people to supervise and inspect them to prevent them from stealing and selling livestock, or from stealing livestock due to illness or disability, and if they do not do a good job, they will be dismissed at any time.
