Chapter 29: Captain of the Farm
Tang Ji's skills in serving people are really good.
This skill that the women in the palace rely on to survive has a lot more beauty here in Tang Ji.
Even if it's just a light pick, even if it's just a low eyebrow and a light smile, it can melt Liu Bian's brutal heart in an instant.
Neither in the previous life nor in this life, he was not a person who liked to solve problems in a civilized way.
But in the previous life, he didn't have a woman.
And in this life, he has a woman who has passed the door, but has not yet completed the house.
When admiring Tang Ji's beauty, Liu Wei felt that he could be more kind in dealing with Empress Dowager He.
Be civilized.
"Why did Cao Cao go with him?" Liu asked Zhang Xiong, who was standing at the bottom of the stairs.
"Your Majesty, what General Cao means is that there is no need to give Yuan Taifu a chance to exploit loopholes." Zhang Xiong said.
The matter was in a hurry, the queen mother's will came directly in front of Yuan Kui, Cao Cao wanted to stop it too late, and he didn't have time to come to Liu Wei in person to report the matter, so he had to follow Yuan Kui to Changle Palace.
"My aunt should be quite desperate...... Liu Wei pursed his lips and sighed.
Regarding the idea that Empress Dowager He has always wanted to regain power in the court, Liu Wei is actually incomprehensible.
It's all up to this, isn't it good to be pampered?
Why do we have to fight for power?
If he hadn't been reborn as Liu Wei, there would have been no choice, otherwise he would not have been able to fight for this power.
Tiredness can exhaust people to death, so why bother!
"Let her go, pass the word Yinglin, from today onwards, the guards in the palace will rotate every three days." Liu Wei said.
"Yui!"
Liu Wei has now crossed the Empress Dowager He from his list of opponents.
If there is no external help, his ambitious grandmother is the queen mother who is in charge of the dynasty on the surface.
It's just the surface.
"Your Majesty, the excerpt of General Huangfu."
Zhang Xiong left with his front foot, and Xun Yu walked in with his back foot, and put a copy of the fold on the table.
Liu Wei patted Tang Ji on the shoulder, signaling that she didn't need to pinch it, and then got up and flipped through the fold.
"The soldiers are like combs, Li Dao, Guo Yan and the like all deserve to die!" Liu Wei had already seen the tragic situation of the withering people's livelihood at the end of the Han Dynasty through countless books about the Three Kingdoms, but when all this was put in front of Huangfu Song with relatively detailed figures, he still couldn't suppress his anger.
Liu Wei is now eager to go out and see what kind of world this world is, and then take some measures according to local conditions to stabilize the people at the bottom who are being coerced by the general trend of the world and are fluctuating.
But he also knew very well that he would never be able to do so for the time being.
He had to sit firmly in this west garden, and then occasionally go to the Chongde Hall to show his face.
"Your Majesty's ruthless approach has completely cut off the back road of the generals in Liangzhou, and they now have only one way to resist. If Your Majesty could forgive their sins, I thought that many people would be willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light. Xun Yu persuaded.
Liu Wei snorted coldly, "If I forgive their sins, I am afraid that the people who died under their butcher's knives will not forgive me for their sins. Where their soldiers and horses passed, they were thousands of miles away, and none of them survived. β
Xun Yu did not continue to advise, but said: "Your Majesty, General Huangfu's army has arrived in Youfufeng, and the minister thinks that he can take the opportunity to send officials to restore order in Guanzhong. β
"First of all, let the people dare to go to the land and farm!" Liu Wei said.
This world is so outrageous that the people don't dare to go to the ground to farm, but it's still like words?!
But it's true.
Whether it is in the history of Zheng'er Bajing or now, the land of Guanzhong has been repeatedly whipped by war.
The overwhelmed people of Guanzhong helped the old and the young to cross the Qinling Mountains and fled to Yizhou.
Liu Yan, who had long been ready to be the emperor, did not refuse to come.
He even used the Guanzhong refugees to form a Dongzhou army.
"Your Majesty, at this time, tens of thousands of troops in the imperial court are on the side, and the local counties can completely raise soldiers and horses to exterminate the bandits." Xun You said, "The imperial court has limited troops, so it can only use this way to clear one place and pacify one place. β
"What makes the people of Guanzhong panic is not only the military disaster, but also the more serious banditry."
Liu Wei bowed, "In addition, let the county governments in various places recruit displaced people, and Tuntian." β
"In this matter, you need a competent person, who do you think is suitable?"
Tuntian has a long history, and it is a relatively mature method for dealing with the problem of war-torn fields and frontier land.
Even if Liu Wei had a more advanced method in his mind, he didn't dare to use it.
He didn't want to be Wang Mang's second.
Xun Yu said: "Your Majesty has a few palace orders, and the minister thinks it is harmless, and my uncle Xun Yu should be able to take on this great responsibility." β
"Well, then take Xun Yu as the captain of the agricultural school, and first recruit homeless people in Jingzhaoyin and Tuntian." Liu Wei said, "The people of Tuntian are exempt from military service and conscription, and they are taxed at thirty times. β
"Thirty taxes one?!" Xun You was slightly surprised, "Your Majesty, it's not absolutely unfeasible for the courtiers, it's just that now the imperial court is extremely extravagant in grain and grass, and if thirty taxes are adopted, I'm afraid the use of the imperial court will be greatly reduced." β
"How can it be reduced?" Liu Wei smiled and asked rhetorically, "We are planting ownerless fields and wasteland, not to mention thirty taxes and one, even if it is fifty taxes and one, grain production should also increase." β
Xun You: ......
"Ah, this...... The minister seems to have thought about it. Xun Yu himself almost amused himself.
While the two were talking, Xun Yu walked in happily with a bundle of hemp paper in his arms, "Minister, congratulations to Your Majesty!" β
"Zuo Bo paper is made? Let's put it aside. Liu Wei beckoned, "Wen Ruo came just in time, I want to order you to go to Jingzhao Yin Tuntian as the captain of the Diannong School, you shouldn't have any opinions, right?" β
Xun Yu smiled bitterly when he heard this, "The minister is His Majesty's courtier, and whatever His Majesty wants to let the minister go, the minister will go wherever he wants." β
How could he have any opinion?
"If you do a line, you have to love a line, if you are reluctant, you can't do this thing." Liu Wei smiled, "Since you don't have any opinions, let's take notes, just try to see if Zuo Bo's paper is really feasible." β
Xun Yu was a little puzzled, didn't he let him do the agricultural school lieutenant Tuntian, what else did he need to remember?
"Tuntian is a university!" Liu Wei sat cross-legged and began distant memories.
"If we want more food to grow in the land, we need to treat the land well."
"The land needs to be ploughed twice a year, that is, spring ploughing and autumn ploughing."
"And fertilizer, whether it's any animal or human manure, it's a good fertilizer for food."
"When you lead the people to the fields, you need to collect all the dung and put it aside. Before spring ploughing, sprinkle them evenly in the field. β
"Secondly, it is also more important to conserve water. There is no way in the mountains, you can only look at God's face, but on the fertile plains, you must dig a canal and divert water to every ridge of land. β
Xun Yu and Xun Yu listened with dull expressions, like two sculptures.
The sound of Xun You's Adam's apple sliding broke the silence.
"Your Majesty, how did you know this?" Unbelievable, Xun Yu asked directly.
Liu Wei smiled slightly, "I have seen three thousand worlds in my dreams. β
This kind of farming method is actually the farming method in the countryside when Liu Wei was a child.
It may not be the best, but it is certainly more advanced than the current way of farming.
At that time, if you follow the cat and the tiger and improve the farm tools, it should greatly improve the efficiency of some farming.
Xun Yu and Xun Yu glanced at each other, and they both felt that their souls had been greatly impacted.
A young emperor who had never left the palace knew so well about farming.
This thing is really a bit evil.
"What are you two doing in a daze? There are so many outrageous things in the world, and there are one or two things strange about me. Liu Wei said, "I remember that after the autumn harvest, we should choose the fullest grain as the seeds for the next year." β
"Yui!"
Xun Yu hurriedly bowed down and shouted loudly.
God knows how ridiculous he feels at the moment.
The scene in front of me is more like a dream.
This is a young emperor who is only fourteen years old!
Xun Yu still hasn't figured out the way he trained his troops, and now he has taught him another lesson in farming.
Cruising through three thousand worlds in a dream sounds so.
But Xun Yu is a little convinced now......
If it weren't for this, how could a young emperor who had been in the deep palace for a long time and didn't know what the outside world was, even know about farming so thoroughly and in detail? No, this method of farming that the emperor said must be better.
Xun Yu had farmed the land by himself, and after the emperor explained, he could probably understand the truth.
"Your Majesty, does this dung have to be covered with soil?" Xun Yu asked after carefully reading what he had recorded.
"It has to be mulched, and the purpose of mulching is to make manure." "Every time a new addition is added, it needs to be covered with soil. β
In fact, he didn't know why he had to do it, and he guessed that it was probably for the sake of fertilizer.
Anyway, when he was a child, the people in the village used to make the dung heaps in their fields smooth and neat, and they looked like smooth tombs from a distance.
Xun Yu drew a pen and wrote a note very seriously.
"Your Majesty, can we grow all the food we need?" Xun Yu asked.
He seemed intent on finalizing everything in one go.
"Let's get more microphones!" Liu Wei suddenly said with a melancholy face.
Dahan's diet is really ...... Uncomfortable.
"Yui!"
Xun Yu responded, his eyes touched the paper in his hand, and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, Zuo Bo paper really can't penetrate the back of the paper, and it can indeed be written." β
"Give thirty silk and let it continue to improve the paper, and this thing can be better." Liu Wei said.
He is preparing to knife the general, but there is still a serious shortage of manpower to support this scene.
He needed a lot of skilled craftsmen to enrich the faΓ§ade of the general as a prison and prepare for the future conquests of the Han Dynasty.
Liu Wei knew very well what kind of situation he, the emperor, would face in the future.
He saved his life, but he could not keep the peace of the Han Dynasty.
Ongoing and chaotic wars are inevitable.
The discussion on how to plant the land continued until late at night.
Xun Yu is a representative who is not ashamed to ask questions, and his brain turns very fast.
Almost everything, he had to ask carefully and make annotations.
Liu Wei did not have the slightest impatience, in the matter of farming, whether he had personally experienced it or heard of it, he told Xun Yu in detail one by one as a reference.
When Xun Yu and Xun You, the uncle and nephew, left from the West Garden together, the sky was almost dawn, and there was already a glimmer of light in the east.
"Why should my uncle be so cautious about the reclamation of wasteland?" Xun You asked while yawning.
The emperor and Xun Yu seemed to be chatting more and more excited in the second half of the night, but they almost didn't trap Xun Yu to death.
Originally, he listened to it quite energetically, but then he gradually felt bored.
"Nongsang is the foundation of the community, and we should be cautious. His Majesty has a unique and far-sighted view on the matter of agriculture and mulberry, and I think I should take the opportunity to learn more. Xun Yu said, "Your Majesty's words often make me refreshed, and my mouth is suddenly opened!" β
