Chapter 88: How Can I Tell You What I Really Think!
Lu Bu knew that in order to obtain their consent, he had to reassure them.
He explained: "I have already ordered people to go to Shuhan and Jingxiang to buy grain. The most important thing is that I asked Deheng to build a very good farm tool, which is pulled by livestock, and the work that used to take several people to do can be done by one person. In this way, there will not be so many people to cultivate, and the extra idle people must find work for them, otherwise it will be easy to make trouble. ”
The productive forces determine the relations of production. The development of the productive forces will inevitably lead to changes in the relations of production.
There were no iron tools before, coupled with the backwardness of cultivation technology.
One acre of land may have to be cultivated by the whole family.
Or that a person has to cultivate fifteen acres of land to feed a family.
Naturally, the people need to farm with peace of mind in order to fill their stomachs.
But with the advent of iron tools, coupled with the development of farming techniques. One acre of land can be cultivated by one person, and it does not take fifteen acres of land to feed a family.
Coupled with the increase in population, there is less land and more people.
The idle population will seek other livelihoods in order to make a living, in order to make their own life better.
Naturally, they don't want to be tied to the land and want better options.
This leads to a change in the relations of production.
Lu Bu will naturally prepare in advance and organize a part of the idle population to other industries first, so as to plan for the future.
I heard the lord say that Ma Jun had built a new farm tool, which could be done by several people.
Jia Xu and Xun You immediately became interested.
Jia Xu bowed down and said, "General, I don't know what that farm tool is?" Xia Guan wants to see it. ”
"Okay. Come with me. ”
Riding a horse, Lu Bu led them to a place more than ten miles outside Chang'an City.
Ma Jun was observing the Quyuan plough made according to Wen Hou's instructions.
The Han Dynasty already had a straight plow.
After Lu Bu's guidance, Ma Jun changed the straight wheel and long wheel to curved wheel and short wheel, and installed the plow disc that can rotate freely at the head of the wheel, which not only makes the plow frame smaller and lighter, but also convenient to turn around and turn, and the operation is flexible, saving manpower and livestock.
However, because of the newly built, there are still a lot of problems.
For example, the whole plough is too heavy, making it easy for livestock to get tired.
The angle of the blade of the plough should be adjusted a little more, and so on.
However, these are minor problems that can be slowly corrected in the future.
A farmer pulls a horse rope in one hand and a soft whip in the other.
Under the reprimand, the horse pulled the diameter of the curved plough and walked forward to the edge.
The farmer did not have to make any effort to move the plough to the other side, and only had to twist the wheel to turn.
The new plough quickly turned over an acre of land.
Jia Xu and Xun You are not the kind of scholars in the Ming and Qing dynasties who only read sage books and kept their ears on things outside the window.
Even when they were young, they had personally farmed the fields.
They could see at a glance the importance of this curved plough, and they also understood that what the lord said was reasonable.
As soon as this thing comes out, there really won't be so many people needed to cultivate it in the future.
So many idle people really have to find a way to resettle.
But......
Sima Fang was still a little dissatisfied that Lu Bu had spent millions of dollars to build the viewing platform, but now his resentment was less, and his attitude was somewhat relaxed.
He arched his hand.
"General, even if there will be no need for so many people in farming in the future, there is no need to spend huge sums of money to build the viewing platform. Wouldn't it be better to build water conservancy and official roads? ”
Lu Bu said with a smile: "Jiangong, this viewing platform is not just for the preparation of the debate conference, I am of great use. The profound meaning of this cannot be said for the time being. It will definitely work in the future. Just wait and see. ”
Hum.
I will tell you that I have planned this large area of land as official land, and I am going to build residential areas and mansions to collect money......
Oh, is it a return of capital?
If you say it, you wealthy families may rush to buy it immediately.
You are very greedy.
Then how can Ben Hou be happy and make a little money!
When Ben Hou is full of meat, he will let you drink soup.
Hearing that the lord said that he was of great use, he thought of the lord's city mansion very deeply...... It's far-sighted, and it's really useful to think about it.
Jia Xu and Xun You immediately bowed their hands and said: "The lower official is ignorant, please forgive the general." ”
Sima Fang still didn't think so, but Jia Xu and Xun You didn't plan to continue admonishing.
He knew that his status in Lu Bu's mind was not as high as Jia Xu and Xun You.
Sima Fang, who has always been old and sophisticated, will not continue to persuade Lu Bu if he is bored.
No, he will not flatter Lu Bu and compliment Lu Bu with a clear conscience.
Just keep silent.
Jia Xu and Xun You went back to continue their work, and Lu Bu stayed to talk to Ma Jun.
"Deheng, now that Guanzhong is developing rapidly, there is a great demand for ironware, but the output of ironware cannot keep up, and the gap is getting bigger and bigger, so I ask you to organize people to improve the iron-making process and increase production. Of course, I'll be there to guide you. ”
Hearing that Lu Bu wanted to improve the iron-making process by himself, Ma Jun's head was big.
In the past, if the lord paid so much attention to himself and repeatedly burdened himself, Ma Jun would definitely be very happy.
But now he felt like he was out of breath.
Too much, too heavy.
What paper making process, agricultural tools improvement, now you have to improve your own iron-making process, where do you have this ability.
"General, you want to improve this and make that, even if the small one has three heads and six arms, it can't be done!"
"You idiot, do I want you to do this alone? You can't get someone to help. Even if you can't find someone, can't you teach them? Since Confucianism can preach and teach. Can't you preach and teach? ”
What the general said seems to have a point. You can't do that much on your own.
If you find a few more people, you might be able to do it.
It is......
"Like this...... Will anyone learn? Ma Jun asked suspiciously.
Lu Bu scolded: "With so many poor people, there will definitely be people who want to learn a trade to support the whole family." ”
Ay!
Depose the hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone!
Dong Zhongshu is really a sinner of Chinese civilization through the ages.
The splendid culture of a hundred schools of thought blooming and contending with a hundred schools of thought began to slowly ossify, and finally entered a dead end.
Even if Ma Jun likes to engage in small inventions and handmade creations, he thinks that craftsmen are inferior people and are ashamed to teach others. I didn't think about spreading my knowledge widely and passing it on.
Many of China's excellent technologies have disappeared in the long river of history, delaying the development of China's science and technology, and preventing China's science and technology from forming a complete system.
Otherwise, how could there be five chaotic China, five dynasties and ten kingdoms, and even a hundred years of national shame.
Since I have come to this world, I, Lu Bu, want to break the shackles that bind Huaxia thought.
He wanted to show the world that there was more to China than Confucianism.
There are also Mo families, Taoist families, peasant families, Yin and Yang families, and military families......
He just wants to reproduce the prosperous era of a hundred schools of thought contending and a hundred flowers blooming!
Allowing the various schools of Confucianism to argue, fight, and then internal chaos is only the first step.
Only in this way can we give space for other families to develop and achieve our own goals.
Of course, Lu Bu would not say this kind of thinking to others.
He is like a chess player, step by step, slowly arranging.
Wait until the last moment to make a killing move, and by then, the winner will be decided.
Lu Bu increased Ma Jun's burden step by step, forcing him to recruit talents, forcing him to teach people skills, and forcing him to join the Mo family.
Coming back from Ma Jun's side, Lu Bu asked someone to summon Cao Xing.
"Cao Xing, last time you dragged more than 20,000 soldiers and horses from Gao Gan with 3,000 cavalry, and you did a good job!"
Cao Xing hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "Everything depends on the general's training strategy, and the last general is just acting according to orders!" ”
"It's your credit, it's your credit. This general will be rewarded for meritorious deeds. However, the wind wolf ride is good, but it is not enough. In order to hone the wind wolf ride, General Ben thought of a strategy, I don't know if Cao Zhonglang will be willing to listen to orders? ”
