Volume 1 Chapter 13: Do You Dare?

When Chu Yunge was squatting in the wasteland and thinking about life, a letter and a small model sent from Cangwu County finally arrived in Chang'an City.

Fu Yanzhi fiddled with the exquisite small model and unconsciously let out a chuckle.

"Sure enough, it's destiny. Even if you lose your mind, can you play with farm tools that improve people's livelihood? ”

"Well, it's just in time for spring ploughing."

The national teacher, who did not understand the power of the handicraft emperor in modern society, had a sharp increase in favorability, picked up the model and left Jiuxiao Pavilion.

In the past month, Emperor Jinwen's attitude towards the crown prince has become a little unclear, Fu Yanzhi likes to watch the good show of father and son, and it is time to add a fire.

As for who this fire will burn?

What does it have to do with him, he is just obeying orders, complying.

The national teacher of the fairy wind dao bone stepped into the Weiyang Palace.

"Wow! The last time I came to Huanting was many years ago! ”

"Big brother, you slow down, we can't keep up-"

"Can Huanting County really let us farm here?"

The voices of men and women talking, sometimes mixed with the old man's anxious inquiry.

This group of people used ox carts to pull strange utensils and some pottery wooden boxes, carried large bags and small bags into Huanting County, and went straight to the county guard's mansion.

Jiao Xin made bold remarks in Chu Yunge, saying that he wanted Chu Yunge to live in the palace as soon as possible, but after looking at the bamboo slips for two days in a row, he fell into a deep confusion.

Not only him, but also other subordinate officials of the palace.

It was not a very difficult thing for them to govern a county, but they never expected that the population of Hepu County would be so scattered and sparse.

The territory is vast, and the people are scattered in various counties, cultivating less and hunting more wild animals.

It is estimated that the levy and conscription to build the palace will also have to be widely advertised.

Chu Yunge saw that a group of subordinate officials had turned into salted fish again, and he couldn't bear to let them pause.

"The top priority is spring ploughing."

"I don't know when Qu Yuan Plough will be delivered, you wait to find a young man named Wei Yang, and let him take you to the people who have accepted the hire."

Wei Yang is Wei Shu's younger brother, who is taciturn and looks very calm.

Therefore, when he pulled a group of old men and old ladies to appear in front of the subordinate officer, the subordinate officer was silent.

A subordinate officer rubbed his eyes: "Are you sure they can still farm?" ”

Chu Yunge was also silent.

However, Wei Yangchao tried hard to open his mouth, and finally held back two words: "...... Yes. ”

The old men and ladies were dark-skinned, and they had obviously worked all year round, but they were indeed a little older.

In addition, the eyes of the people who came out of the county guard mansion were not friendly.

Chu Yunge has a feeling of being watched by onlookers when he went to the countryside to help the poor in the past.

At that time, some bastards would ask her why the government didn't give them money and asked them to do this and that.

It's just that now it's her subordinate officials who are being watched, not her...... So Chu Yunge didn't come forward, still sitting in the gate of the county guard's mansion, and handed over the matter to Jiao Xin and the others.

The start-up team still has to be practiced by its subordinates.

The subordinate officials looked at each other, and Jiao Xin asked aloud: "We now have two employment methods, which one do you want to use?" ”

Farmer: Staring-

Jiao Xin: "...... The first is to open up the wasteland for the palace, but in order to catch up with the season, you need to be as fast as possible. The second is that Your Highness rents your land, and the rent is ten stone per acre, and the rest of the grain belongs to the king's house. ”

The fields of the royal palace have been uncultivated, and they will be reopened.

It would take a long time, even if there were much more advanced curved ploughs - but isn't that a modern machine that doesn't need manpower or animal power?

Therefore, Chu Yunge is more interested in renting the people's fields.

She distributed the grain seeds for free, and after the harvest, the people kept half of it for themselves, so that they could continue to cultivate. I just don't know what the farmers think?

Wei Yang was obviously not in charge of a group of old farmers, and he looked at a certain old farmer with an inquiring eye.

The old peasant's clothes were much neater than the others, and he still had a sense of civility, and if it weren't for the knotted muscles, some people would believe him if he was a scholar.

I saw him ponder for a moment, but he asked, "Are you waiting for the new county guard?" ”

Jiao Xinqi said: "You don't know? The county guard has returned to Chang'an to report on his work. We are the subordinate officials of the king of Huainan, and what is being built in the south of Huanting County is the palace of the king of Huainan. ”

"In the future, it will not be the county guard who has the final say here, but the king of Huainan."

Jiao Xin added in his heart: In fact, it is the prime minister who has the final say, but isn't it that he hasn't come yet? Naturally, it was their Highness who had the final say.

The old peasant was slightly stunned: "The princes and kings? And how many guards did you bring with you? ”

Jiao Xin's face was incomprehensible: "This is not something you can know. ”

He urged, "Think about what kind of hire you choose?" ”

The old peasant glanced at him, and whispered with the others, as if they were discussing.

Chu Yunge couldn't help laughing: "It's an old man with personality." ”

Meng Wei was behind her, frowning slightly: "This old farmer is a little familiar. ”

I just can't remember where I've seen it.

After a while, the old man finished discussing, and the old farmer took two steps forward: "We don't hide it from all the nobles, this place is adjacent to Xu Heng Mountain, and there are tribes in the mountain, even the county guard has no disobedience." ”

"In previous years, we farmed, paid taxes and paid guard food to the tribe, and we really didn't want to work for a year to net into the population of others, but fortunately, we barely survived by eating from the mountains."

As soon as these words came out, not only the subordinate officials, but Chu Yunge was also shocked.

It occurred to her that this was indeed the case.

In the process of the unification of this land in history, the tribes in the Jiaozhou area were independent, had their own customs and beliefs, and were brave and good at fighting.

It's just that this is not the real history, and the emperor of the Jin Dynasty didn't like his territory in the hands of those small clans, so he sent Chang'an officials to be the county guards.

She thought that the Manyue tribe was also butterflyed, but she didn't expect it to be just hidden.

The old farmer summed up his statement: "Therefore, it is impossible for the field I am waiting for to be rented to the nobles, otherwise the tribe will take away the grain, what will I take to explain to the nobles?" ”

The subordinate officials looked at each other, and they didn't know what to do, so they had to secretly look back at Chu Yunge.

Chu Yunge frowned, but still got up.

In the way that the subordinate officer gave way, she went to the front and was finally exposed to everyone.

All the subordinate officials in front of the county guard mansion lowered their heads slightly behind her, and the guards on the side were also more vigilant. So everyone understood that this was the real supreme ruler of Hepu County - King Huainan.

As a young man, as long as she stands up, no one can compete with her.

The old farmer looked at the young county king, and his eyes suddenly sharpened: "Or rather, His Royal Highness the King of Huainan dares to make a promise to all the county peopleβ€”β€”"

"Promise that the Barbarian tribe will not dare to attack, promise that the county officials will not fight for the tiger, and promise that the conscription will not starve to death of the subjects?"

Lang Jun, a young man with a bright breeze, flicked his sleeves: "Why can't you?" ”

She evoked a smile: "A certain talent, if you can get your help, you should go to subdue the Baiyue tribe on the day of the harvest - let it be naturalized!" ”

The spring light is splendid, sprinkled on the face of the young king, shining.

The old farmer was frightened by the scorching sun, but he laughed slowly: "Chensang Yannian, I have seen the king of Huainan!" ”

Not far away, a group of sturdy men, women, and children approached, greeting each other happily: "The county guard mansion has arrived, let's take the Quyuan plough to help His Highness clear the wasteland!" ”

Farther away, a little old man hesitated for a while, packed up his things, climbed into the carriage with his wife, and went all the way south.

Thousands of miles away in Chang'an, Emperor Jin Wen wrote the last word, from now on, the name of the king of Huainan sounded in the palace again after two months.

"Congratulations to the host, luck +25."
