Chapter 52 Qu Yuan Plough
Zhu Di thought of the scene at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, and felt that what Zhu Gaoxuan said made sense, so he nodded and said, "You are right." Only people who are really starving to death will not dislike food without sand. And those who have food and drink are not used to eating what these beasts eat.
I now have full authority to hand over this Shaanxi disaster relief matter to you, and you must complete this matter for me. It's done beautifully, and I'm rewarded. If you can't handle it well, I'll ask you! ”
Zhu Gaoxuan knew that Zhu Di had let him go, so he bowed to Zhu Di at the moment, and then lightly thanked Zhu Di for his grace!
Although Zhu Di was angry in his heart, he was helpless against Zhu Gaoxuan!
The county magistrate Li Yuan was also relieved to see that Zhu Gaoxuan was unscathed except for the prison, and Zhu Gaoxuan said: "Thank you for the emperor's grace, you have finally come out, prince." Wechen will set up a banquet to wash the dust for you! ”
Zhu Gaoxuan waved his hand and said: "Excuse me, the famine is serious in front of us, and we need disaster relief, so we will provide disaster relief according to our original plan!" ”
At present, the grain and grass allocated by the imperial court are far from enough for the people of Lantian County to survive the famine. To solve the current problem, we can only think of quickly transferring a large batch of sweet potatoes from Liangzhou to solve the stomach problem.
Then teach them how to grow sweet potatoes, which are drought-tolerant, easy to live, have a large yield, and have a short growth cycle, as long as they are planted, they will soon have a harvest.
Now that the farmers are able to support themselves, the task of disaster relief is complete.
Just do what you say, and now ask the housekeeper Zhuge Xuan to find the county commander Li Yuan, and let them marry Liangzhou Mansion to transport a batch of sweet potatoes, and then mix it with the grain allocated by the imperial court, mixed with sand, and distribute it to the refugees.
As Zhu Gaoxuan expected, all the grain was fully distributed to the displaced people, and the victims received relief food, and the people's situation quickly stabilized.
Zhu Di watched the getting better and better situation from the sidelines, and was completely relieved of Zhu Gaoxuan. I plan to return to Beijing in a few days.
Zhu Gaoxuan has not had time to rest yet. Although the disaster is now under control, it will take a long time for them to get out of the troubles of the famine.
What he has to do now is to level the land, grow enough food for the farmers here, and teach them to grow their own food.
It takes a lot of manpower to open up the wasteland and cultivate the land, and of course these displaced people need to participate, but those who are greedy and pervert the law to make the country difficult to make money cannot be spared.
It is a very good choice for Ping Sizhong and Tang Tai's remnants to get them out of prison and treat them as the primary productive force.
had a plan in his heart, so he instructed his master Zhuge Xuan to go to the prison to raise people.
The next morning, when the sun rose again, Lantian Mansion was full of energy again.
When Zhu Gaoxuan came to the Lantian County Ya, there was already a row of people kneeling at the entrance of the Ya.
……
"Sinner/Sinner/Villain Zheng Shaoyun...... See His Royal Highness King Liang. ”
Hearing the footsteps and finding that Zhu Gaoxuan was coming, this row of people hurriedly bowed to the ground to pay respects, and now they are all guilty, only daring to kneel, not standing up.
"Zheng Shaoyun, the Ministry of Industry is the water and the official Shi Langzhong, and he is the fifth product. Eight hundred stones of grain and a thousand pieces of silver were embezzled.
Originally, he was sentenced to be beheaded after the autumn, and then exiled to Lantian. ”
Li Yuan was behind Zhu Gaoyun, holding a notebook, turning to the page of Zheng Shaoyun, and read it aloud, this voice made Zheng Shaoyun tremble.
The three souls went directly to the two souls, and the soil under them was a little wet.
"Your Highness spares your life, and the criminal ministers will rebuild the canals to ensure that the canals in the Lantian Plain have sufficient river water, and that the irrigation of the entire Lantian Plain can be sufficient."
Bang bang bang~
After Zheng Shaoyun finished speaking, he began to kowtow and beg for mercy.
"Your Highness spares your life ~ Your Highness spares your life ~"
The other craftsmen also quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy.
has just survived from Zhu Di's butcher's knife, and has experienced a long road of exile, and he has not died, everyone is even more desperate, and no one wants to die.
Zhu Gaoxuan stared at these people and saw that many people had already kowtowed, so he spoke:
"Stop! Don't knock it.
Now I'm giving you a new task, building this new type of rake. ”
As he spoke, Zhu Gaoxuan took out a piece of paper from his arms and opened it, on which was a simple drawing, drawing the pattern of the cultivator of the large harvester that Zhu Gaoxuan had seen in his previous life.
There are also some additional notes from him on the side.
Li Yuan quickly stepped forward to take the drawing, unfolded it and showed it to Zheng Shaoyun and others.
"Hey~ There is such a delicate thing in the world?"
Although Zheng Shaoyun is only good at water conservancy construction, he can still read some tool drawings, and he was stunned by the design on the drawings at first glance.
This is a huge rake consisting of ten ploughshares, which can plow ten ridges at a time, greatly speeding up farming.
And according to Zhu Gaoxuan, as long as three to four oxen can pull this rake.
The exquisiteness of the design is the only thing Zheng Shaoyun has seen in his life, and he looked at it for a long time before saying:
"Your Highness, we should be able to do this rake, but we need a blacksmith shop and iron materials, and preferably more manpower."
How many of these rakes can you build in a day? ”
Zhu Gaoyun's answer made Zheng Shaoyun very surprised, and even a little frightened.
Such detailed data is not stumbling at all in King Liang's mouth, and he doesn't need to look at the information, obviously it has been counted a long time ago.
Is this to wipe out all the people in their ministry, plus the craftsmen?
But now is not the time to be cranky, he stared at the drawings in Li Yuan's hand, and quickly calculated the manufacturing process in his mind, calculating the required workers and time.
"Your Highness, if you send us some more handiwork, and have enough materials, we should be able to make ten of these rakes in a day."
Zheng Shaoyun didn't dare to boast about Haikou this time, although the previous embankment successfully diverted water, the amount of water attracted was not enough for the amount of water he promised at the beginning.
And this time he directly discounted the calculated output.
"Okay, ten a day.
Li Yuan, you take Zheng Shaoyun to find someone, and after the personnel are gathered, go directly to the No. 1 blacksmith shop. ”
"Yes!"
After Li Yuan answered the order, he kicked Zheng Shaoyun, told him to get up and follow, turned around and walked towards the area where the exiled prisoners lived.
Zheng Shaoyun had just gotten up and was about to chase after Li Yuan, when he thought of something, he knelt down in front of Zhu Gaoyun again.
"His Royal Highness Xie will not kill Da En~"
After kowtowing, Zheng Shaoyun dared to get up and chase after Li Yuan.
Several of the other prisoner craftsmen followed suit, thanked them and left.
Zhu Gaoxuan just nodded and didn't say a word.
He can be kind to ordinary people, and he will use these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but he will not give a good face.
Now it is to use them to level the land, plant sweet potatoes as soon as possible, and solve the problem of famine, so that they can be kept, otherwise they will definitely be clicked.
Zhu Gaoxuan, who was a little angry with the drawings in his heart, saw a figure on the corner of the street, a gray linen coat, like most of the people in the county, but the reed-woven hat on this guy's head was very recognizable.
