Chapter 83: Chinese New Year's Eve
"Plant a grain of millet in the spring, and harvest 10,000 seeds in the autumn."
"There is no idle land in the four seas, and the people are still starving to death."
Liu Ye and Lu Su replied, their pupils trembled slightly, and their eyes looking at Chu Feng were full of various looks, and the first three paragraphs were all a harvest scene.
But the last paragraph is eye-catching!
What a mockery of this poem? In such a bumper harvest and prosperous era, the common people who farmed the land were still starving to death, and the ending was so bleak but very real.
Isn't this a reflection of the relationship between the people and the nobles at present? Natural disasters and man-made disasters make it difficult for the people to live, and the prosperous harvest also needs to be frugal.
Alas!
The two sighed and hung their heads, but they were helpless.
"Just look for this poem, the name of the poem is Mercy Nong!" Chu Feng's expression was slightly solemn, this may also be what he needs to work on, Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road.
No, no!
The two of them muttered the word Min Nong, and sighed in their hearts about Chu Feng's talent, but they didn't want to say or didn't dare to say much, because some people are bitter and some people are sweet.
The more bitter the people, the sweeter the people.
And these people are sucking nutrients and strengthening their own families, and today's big Han is controlled by these people, and no one can move this group!
Without him, the resources are in their hands.
"Let's start, spring, the third place to find, plant, the twenty-sixth place to find, one ,......" Chu Feng calmed down, he still has a long way to go, and he needs to redouble his efforts.
Liu Ye and Lu Su all went to the corresponding location to look for it according to what Chu Feng said, and after looking around, they quickly found it, and the speed was very fast.
A whole poem, and the search took only a few moments.
Looking at the characters he found, Liu Ye Lu Su's eyes were full of shock, because Chu Feng must know a classification that the world doesn't know, and it is an extremely powerful classification!
"Lord, how the hell is this done?" Lu Su's heart itched, and he asked eagerly, this is like a good scholar suddenly discovering a place of knowledge that he has never been exposed to.
Liu Ye is also looking at it eagerly!
"I remember I told you before that there is something that can help beginners learn for half a month." Chu Feng looked at Lu Su and said.
"Really... Really? Lu Su was at a loss.
He only thought that Chu Feng was deceiving him, after all, reading and literacy requires accumulation over time, but he didn't expect it to be true, so that he looked at Chu Feng with fiery eyes.
"This is a quick way to pinyin, when he is free, he will pass it on!" Chu Feng's eyes were deep, and he sighed.
Liu Ye Lusu was in an urgent mood, and he couldn't wait for Chu Feng to teach them now, but when he thought of what Chu Feng showed today, the two of them called it awesome!
It is no longer enough to evaluate Chu Feng's talent, and his talent is comparable to that of the sages when he is pulled out alone.
Cloth armor, crossbows, papermaking, printing, poetry, and this unenlightened pinyin, each of which is enough to make people embarrassed, who would have thought that they would all come out of one person?
The key is that the boss who is comparable to a saint, but he is a virtuous corporal, shameless to ask, and studies more about the art of war and the way of governing the country, which really makes the two of them embarrassed.
At this moment, the two looked at each other.
I sighed in my heart, they are known as the talents of the world, but in front of Chu Feng, they are like stars than the moon, and horses are better than good horses, which is simply unforgettable.
Assisting such heroes, why worry about the injustice of the world, why worry about the people not living and working, why worry about them not going down in history?
And at this moment, Chu Feng brushed the ink, pressed the white paper up, uncovered the white paper, the first column of spring seeds, arranged in turn, and the end was Min Nong, Chu Feng!
The handwriting is clear, and it becomes a chapter in the blink of an eye.
"My lord, this thing will be passed down through the ages, and the name of the lord will be passed down through the ages." The two hugged their fists with emotion.
Then, Chu Feng took a look at the construction of other objects in each camp by the way, such as the crossbow and cloth armor, the disadvantage of the crossbow is that it cannot be equipped in a large area.
And the workmanship is fine, so the number is limited, as for the cloth armor in the whole Shouchun about one or two thousand pairs, of which the third-level armor, that is, the kind containing leather armor, a total of three hundred pairs.
It stands to reason that there should be more, but because of the drought in Jianghuai and the scarcity of raw materials, we can only rely on procurement, which suddenly curbs the development of cloth armor, and it should be alleviated in the coming year.
As for the various types of farming tools, they have also improved a lot with the help of Chu Feng, and there are all kinds of them, which greatly promotes the speed of farming.

The thirtieth day of the lunar month,
Han called "New Year's Eve", also known as Chinese New Year's Eve, is rumored to be a fierce beast night for the world to calamity, the beginning of the new year, so called Chinese New Year's Eve, also called Chinese New Year's Eve!
For the people, today is a festive day, representing the end of the year is about to welcome the beginning of the year, looking forward to the harvest of the New Year, for children, today is also their happiest day.
Xiaowang Village, in a thatched house.
Early in the morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Tie Dan, who had just reached the age of seven, was woken up by his mother.
"It's almost time to get up, today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, your father said that he would change some meat for you to taste!" The woman was about in her early twenties, but her face was wrinkled and dark.
But that smile is the most beautiful!
"Yes, meat to eat?" Iron Dan's eyes glowed golden, it was greedy, he couldn't remember whether he had eaten meat, only heard that the thing was delicious.
"Mother, we don't have much food at home, why don't we wait for the autumn harvest to eat meat?" Tie Dan's eyes are firm, but there is a sense of loss in them.
"Your father said that the Duke of Chu saved the country and helped the people, and he was a good man, I heard that in order to let the people eat meat and have a good year, the government came forward to buy and sell it to the people at a loss."
"And your father went out to chop wood all winter, and he had two dollars." The woman's eyes moistened slightly, but her expression smiled.
Although the life is hard, there is less harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, which is more than 100 times stronger than Yuan Shu's reign and tyrannical expropriation, which gives them hope for the poor people.
When Tie Dan heard this, he smiled like honey.
"Mother, I want to wear the new dress I bought before!" Tie Dan said with a smile.
"That's small, just wear this, wait for the New Year next year, and I'll buy you a new dress for my mother!" It is not a taste in a woman's heart.
"Mother, I'll wear that!"
In the end, the woman could not help but give him a new set of small clothes, which of course were only relatively new, with only a few puddings.
"It's so comfortable," the iron egg was strangled like a big meat dumpling, but the smile on his face was very sweet: "Mother, I went to the city with my father to buy meat!" ”
"Finish the porridge and leave!"
After a while, following behind his father, before leaving the village, he called a duffler, and everyone he saw wanted to show his new clothes.
As if to say again, look, Jun no!
The father and son traveled not slowly, it took more than half an hour, walked almost 20 miles, and finally arrived at the nearby county seat, which is very lively today.
All kinds of vendors and shops are in the yo,
And in the middle of the market, there are a few pig-killing families.
Walking here, Tie Dan looked at the pork, spoke with gusto, and pursed his mouth.
Seeing this, his father exclaimed, "How much is this meat?" ”
"Chu Gong Renen, today's meat is fifty yuan a catty, and the grain in other places may be more than this price!" The butcher shop owner grinned and showed a mouth full of yellow teeth and sighed.
"Fifty dollars," the man pursed his lips, his palms trembling slightly, how much wood he had to chop to earn this money! I can see the eyes of my son,
He gritted his teeth, took out a piece of cloth from his arms, and said while unraveling: "Cut, cut eight taels [about two taels today]"
"Just cut half a catty!"
"Enough, let the children try it, we can eat it as a father and mother." The man smiled: "By the way, give me all the fat, and the thin ones don't get oil!" ”
"That's not going to work, unless the fat is mixed with this rib and cut!" The butcher immediately refused, fat meat is the best to sell, ribs and the like are the cheapest, he can't sell them indiscriminately.
The man refused, and the butcher weighed the cut piece of pork belly, which was about the same, and tied it with a straw rope and handed it over.
The man counted twenty-five dollars with his rough, calloused palm, and then counted it again, and then handed it over with a grin.
The eyes are reluctant, but happy.
"Let's go, son, go home tonight and dad will give you stew to eat, let me tell you, this thing is old and fragrant." The man grinned, and the dark cheeks were delighted.
