Chapter 118: It's Time to Leave
Liu Ponu snorted, and secretly said that this bad old man, the title of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is really not called in vain.
Take a look at what people say, let every generation of emperors be an emperor who can calm the scene.
Those who know know that he is choosing the prince, but those who don't know think that those groups that don't let him do it elect the boss.
Liu Ponu thinks that as long as the emperor is reliable, the most important thing to say at this time is to hope that every generation of emperors is a good emperor, right?
An emperor who can't kill people is destined not to be a good emperor, I ......
Of course, Liu Ponu only dared to complain in his heart.
On the surface, he still pretended to think deeply, and said eloquently: "An emperor who can only kill people is not destined to become a good emperor......"
"You're sincere, aren't you?" Liu Che glanced at Liu Ponu angrily, and said angrily: "Won't these two words be eaten by you?" ”
Won't and don't dare, is that the same thing?
I didn't let you kill indiscriminately, I just hope that you will temper it well, don't be soft when you should kill, try not to kill the wrong one when you can kill the right one, and don't let it go when you are unsure.
I'm teaching you experience, but you're a good kid, but you're raising the bar with me.
It's like you're teaching me experience......
But this kid is smart enough and has enough ideas, maybe he really doesn't need any experience of his own.
"Or ......" Liu Ponu's face was full of hesitation, and he just opened his mouth and stopped again.
"What?" Liu Che looked at Liu Ponu directly.
"It's nothing ......," Liu Ponu shook his head.
He wanted to tell the bad old man not to let himself go, although the prince was a little reluctant, he was also very good.
We just need to work together to clean up the shameless people around him, and no matter how bad it is, we can make a game for the prince and let him wake up completely.
Anyway, the prince is benevolent and friendly, and when the prince succeeds to the throne in the future, he will be able to spend the rest of his life in peace.
But after thinking about it carefully, I still think it's over.
The prince is good, but the prince's heart is too kind.
Countless ancestors used their lives to exchange for the truth that a person is good at being bullied, even if it is the emperor, what's wrong?
There are more bold ministers, and even if Liu Ponu is willing, he can still fool the prince around, and if he wants to go east, he has to go east.
Liu Ponu just didn't want to participate in the struggle of those forces in the court, he felt that this was a bit too brain-consuming, but people like Prince Fuzuo were obviously under more pressure.
And the whole thing doesn't seem to be out of his control, if the prince's head is pumped that day, maybe he will be finished.
"Let Hanzhong Taishou Chen Zhong serve as the assassin of Yizhou, I have seen him, I feel quite honest, everything is for the sake of the people......" Helpless, Liu Ponu had no choice but to take this matter head-on, and forced himself onto the road he didn't like.
Liu Ponu really can't figure it out, what's so good about being an emperor?
It is quite majestic and awesome, and he holds the power of life and death in the whole country.
But the pressure on my body is also great, and all the things in the country, eating, drinking, and Lazar have to be handled.
Forget about being tired, the key is that he is not free.
It is said that the people around the emperor are all perverted, so perverted that even the emperor has to take care of eating, drinking, and Lazar.
The most perverted thing is that although the emperor has the right to choose who he wants, he does not have the power to choose more.
For example, once every few days, how long is a time, and there are even shameless and even special mothers watching from the sidelines, a sense of déjà vu on the set of a living love movie.
No matter what you do, there are a bunch of people staring at it, and it can simply make people depressed to death!
"Since you are so optimistic about Chen Zhong, then I will let him be the assassin of Yizhou!" The corners of Liu Che's mouth rose slightly, and his heart instantly blossomed.
The success of the treacherous scheme is only one of them, and there are unexpected results in the future, but he is looking forward to Liu Ponu's next performance.
……
Liu Che was not in a hurry to bring Liu Ponu back to Chang'an, but continued to let him stay in Lantian County.
It has entered the busy season of farming, looking at the grain full of grains, and the people are full of excited and happy smiles on the ground.
And Liu Ponu was also busy.
Although Liu Che said that he would be crowned the king of Shu, and he would step down from the post of Lantian County Commander in the near future, Liu Ponu did not plan to leave before the official canonization.
And Liu Che also made it clear that the canonization would be announced at the first month of the morning after the autumn harvest.
Therefore, what is left for Liu Ponu is less than half a month.
In the fields, Liu Ponu incarnated like a senior old farmer, wearing a straw hat woven by himself on his head, and staying under the huge sun for a day.
Plucked an ear of millet casually, first looked at it carefully, and then put it in his hand and rubbed it vigorously, rubbing off some of the dry skin.
Although a lot of grain was spilled in the process, if it was placed in previous years, the owner of this land would be distressed and feel blood in his heart when he saw this scene.
But now, the owner of the land was standing beside Liu Ponu, and his face was full of festive smiles.
"More than half of the corn grains are full, and the empty shell is less than 20%, a bumper harvest!" After the observation, a satisfied smile finally appeared on Liu Ponu's face.
Although this yield cannot be compared with that of later generations, although the corn at this time did not look so bright on the surface because it had not been shelled and polished.
But this is because of the benefits of their own water conservancy projects.
Let a person stand there and look at it all in the name of a visit, and he will always pick out all sorts of questions.
But when you throw him in and let him personally participate in it, even if an acre of land only increases the yield of a pound of grain, he will be very excited and will feel a sense of accomplishment.
"My lord, I see that the crops in the next village are not as good as ours, a few of them have finished harvesting, more have harvested two or three hundred stones, and the less one has one hundred and seventy or eighty stones, if you look at their situation, I think our family can have a harvest of two hundred stones this year!" The smile on the old farmer's face kept showing off.
"Oh? How much can I harvest in an acre on average? When Liu Ponu heard this, he was instantly interested.
He came down this time to personally test how much the water conservancy project has brought to the people, because he has not had time to go to other places to see it just now, so he does not know more about it for the time being.
"I don't know much about this, but I heard them say that they seem to have received one or twenty more grains than last year......
What does one or twenty stone of grain mean?
According to the calculation of a family of five, according to the standard ration, the twenty stone of grain that increased the production alone is enough for their whole family to eat for two months.
In other words, even if they don't deliberately save in the middle, their grain reserves this year will be two months more than in previous years.
Two months may not seem like a long time, but don't count it.
Don't underestimate the calculating ability of the Chinese people, they are used to living a poor life, and everyone is more calculating than the other.
As for this year's harvest, Liu Ponu can even say unceremoniously that most people will arrange the grain plan to at least one and a half years, and even more will arrange it towards the time point of two years.
For the people, this is food, this is their lifeline.
But for Liu Ponu, this is the will of the people.
From beginning to end, Liu Ponu knew a truth very well, the people's demands were actually very simple, and their wrongs were easily satisfied.
There is no such thing as a bad person in this world, when you have a clear conscience, they are good people, and when you have a ghost in your heart, they are a bad person.
Facts have once again proved that after Liu Ponu took office as the commander of Lantian County, he did two things.
The first thing is to kill the Lan family power group, so that the people of Lantian can return to the normal rhythm of life.
The second thing was the euphemistic and forcible order for the construction of a large number of waterwheels and canals, and now the results have come out.
They are all people who deal with the land all year round, and although they have not studied the yield estimation systematically, they can be counted as eight or nine with experience.
Now wherever Liu Ponu goes in Lantian County, the people will come forward when they see it, and then stop a few steps away to say hello, and there will always be a group of little kids who like to join in the fun.
If he entered the village, he would always be brought into his house and served with the best food.
Although the times are different and the environment is different, the truth is the same.
Liu Ponu walked around the village, and then went straight to the next village.
The busy farming period is the most likely time for disputes, and in the past, there were all kinds of contradictions in the water grabbing war, and the harvest time grabbing the grain field, and the various reasons were always dazzling.
The villages are busy, keeping track of the harvest of each household.
These are all data that need to be reported, and they are the basic data of taxation, and no one dares to mess around.
Of course, during a certain period of time, the food pressure was huge, and many people came in order to keep their positions.
It even came up with a direct walk around the field, and then estimated a yield, adding some more appropriately, and then reporting according to this data.
Anyway, the final result is that no matter what the people do, the final output will definitely be lower than the reported output, and in the end, they can only take out a part of the grain that should belong to them and hand it in.
Liu Ponu disdained to do so, so he strictly ordered all townships to strictly abide by the system to collect statistics, and sent all townships to patrol the villages without interruption, and report immediately if anyone was found to be messing around.
After the incident of the Lan family, Liu Ponu's position in Lantian officialdom is something that no one dares to challenge.
After a lap, Liu Ponu also had a rough idea in his heart.
Although not all, but from the homes of those people who have returned to the warehouse, Liu Ponu also learned some basic data.
On average, the yield of an acre of land is about three to five buckets.
That is to say, on average, the yield of five acres of land will increase by one stone, and the yield of 100 acres will increase by 20 stones.
This data is quite beautiful now, although one stone in the Han Dynasty was about 27 city catties, and before that, the average yield per mu of most ordinary land was between one stone and one and a half stones......
On the way back, Liu Ponu said to Liu Qu beside him: "The goal has been achieved, it's time to go, but I'm a little reluctant......"
