Although the coastal plains of Taizhou and Wenzhou are slightly deeper in salinity than the Ningshao Plain and the Hangjiahu Plain, they have also been productive since ancient times.

Even in later generations, when the Ningshao Plain and the Hangjiahu Plain were more maturely developed, there were at least three counties in Wenzhou that could rank among the top 20 grain-producing counties in Zhejiang. Yueqing City, in particular, has always been a top ten goalkeeper and has never fallen into the top fifteen.

After the coastal plain of Wenzhou is subdivided, there are Yueqing Plain, Yongjia Plain, Wenrui Plain, Taoshan Plain, Beigang Plain, and Nangang Plain. Although some of the alluvial plains are not as large as those of later generations, the scattered arable area is at least more than 1,000 square kilometers.

If it can be utilized, ignoring the large mountains of Wenzhou, it can also meet the self-sufficiency of Wenzhou's grain.

Zhu Xiang said: "When the Yue King Goujian was in power, he reformed land cultivation, changed the bird field to a well field, built water conservancy, and developed agricultural tools. Now I see all the way that the Dongou Plain has actually restored the bird field, which is really heart-wrenching. ”

Bird field is also known as bird Yun, its name in the Confucian classics is a "moral politics" legend, that is, Yu is alive, a hundred birds for Yu to plough the field, so called bird field.

In reality, torida is a primitive cultivation method similar to "slash-and-burn". Hundreds of birds are attracted by farmers to peck at weeds in the fields, rummage for insects, loosen the land and sow seeds, and bird droppings can also be used as fertilizer.

In order to strengthen the country, Gou Jian reformed agricultural production, introduced the Central Plains well field system, and made great strides into a mature slavery system.

Now that the country is scattered, most of the Dongou people have actually returned to fishing and hunting, feeding on fish and snakes, and the well field has become "birds come and help me plow the field".

Zhu Xiang really wanted to ask King Don'ou, a descendant of King Yue, don't you feel distressed when you see you?

I, an outsider, feel very distressed.

He sighed and said, "I heard that the Yue people here are not completely subject to your control, and there is a tribal alliance leader who calls himself Xi'ou in the west of Dongou Kingdom, and he is on a par with the king of Dong'ou. How could the country of Yue fall like this? If the sage Dayu saw that the descendants had fallen to the point where they couldn't even plant the fields, I don't know if they would lament on Huiji Mountain. ”

Although the Dongou Kingdom claimed that its sphere of influence was Taizhou, Lishui and Wenzhou, in fact, it could only govern the coastal plains and islands in the sea. Countless tribes inhabit the vast mountainous area to the west, and the leaders of the tribal alliance are elected to compete for the right to speak with the outside world.

The people of the Central Plains called this tribal alliance the Xiou tribe.

This is the pain in the heart of the Dongou King. Because he didn't want to call himself the king of Donou, but the king of Ou.

It's like the king of Minyue didn't want to be the king of Minyue, but removed the word "Min" and became the king of Yue.

Now that Zhu Xiang mentioned this matter, the king of Dongou was a little annoyed and angry, but he didn't dare to be angry.

Even if Zhu Xiang pointed at his nose and scolded his descendants for not being successful, making the ancestors cry. But Zhu Xiang raised Dayu and Gou Jian so high, affirming that the Yue people were not barbarians, and he didn't know how to be angry.

It can't be said that the ancestors will not be sad when they see that the Yue people can't even plant the land now, and they will still shout, okay?

Dongou King thought about it, and finally held back a sentence: "The widow still eats rice." ”

Zhu Xiang: "......"

Li Mu and Wang Qian: "......"

Dongou Ministers: King! You don't know how to answer, you don't have to answer!

Zhu Xiang sighed and said: "It is precisely because I see that Dongou Jun and the masters of Dongou are still the same as the Central Plains, that I am so emotional. After the fall of the former Yue Kingdom, many talented and talented people of the Yue Kingdom left the Yue Kingdom and went to the Central Plains to survive. The people of the Central Plains sighed that the strength of Qi and Chu was due to the reuse of talents from Wu and Yue. ”

The king of Dongou and the ministers of Dongou didn't know what expressions to show again.

They are both proud and embarrassed.

When the Yue country was prosperous, it reused talents from the Central Plains; When the state of Chu severed the connection between Baiyue and the Central Plains, no Central Plains talents came to the land of Baiyue. But Baiyue's talents can go to Chudi, and they can continue to be difficult through Chudi.

Many Yue people did not want to return to their primitive life, so they went to the Central Plains, making it more difficult for the remaining Yue people to preserve their original civilization.

Civilization was already fragile, and bamboo slips and bronzes were not easy to carry. It is also understandable that the Yue Kingdom has regressed into a tribal system.

After all, the farming techniques of the peasants could only be passed down by word of mouth, and books on farming were only held by the government. When the Yue nobles went south, they probably only brought gold, silver and jewelry, and did not take away those bamboo slips that were in the way.

Zhu Xiang lamented the decline of the Yue people to the Dongou King, and expressed his regret for the deserted plains of the Dongou Kingdom, but did not ask the Dongou King to answer immediately, and retired first under the pretext that he was tired from the journey.

The king of Dongou originally prepared a wine banquet for Zhu Xiang, but when he saw that Zhu Xiang said that he was not in good spirits, and he was also said to be in poor spirits by Zhu Xiang, he canceled the wine banquet and only let the beauties serve Zhu Xiang with delicacies.

Not surprisingly, this great sage does not value women, and lets the beauty leave after eating.

The beauty turned back frequently, and her heart was broken.

Zhu Xiang didn't expect that as soon as he came to Dongou Palace, he would become the dream of many women in the palace.

After Zhu Xiang left, the king of Dongou thought that there were two great gods in the palace, Li Mu and Wang Qian, although he was mentally sleepy, he couldn't sleep.

He summoned his ministers to counsel and asked them what they thought of today's events.

The opinions of the ministers were divided into two factions.

One faction thinks that the Qin State has always had a bad reputation, and this time it must have no good intentions, and it is necessary to find an excuse to send these people away early;

The other faction scolded the reputation of the Qin State for what does it have to do with Zhu Xianggong, Zhu Xianggong was full of enthusiasm, and came here to guide the cultivation of the Dongou Kingdom, without mentioning what price the Dongou Kingdom needs to pay, you dare to doubt Zhu Xianggong, the old man fought with you!

King Donou, who was finally able to spread his hair and placket, was so frightened that he quickly got up and persuaded him.

There are not many ministers in Dongou who are familiar with literature and ink, if these important ministers do something bad, who will write the documents for him?

He can't learn from the barbarians in Xiou, and order to rely on roaring, right?

"Dissipation, dissipation, how can I doubt Zhu Xianggong? I suspect Li Mu and Wang Qian. Dongou Wang said, "Although Zhu Xianggong is dedicated to waiting for me, Li Mu and Wang Jian are different. ”

The important minister snorted angrily: "If Li Mu and Wang Jian want to do anything to us, they still need to use conspiracy and trickery? Do you see their big ship? They robbed Minyue's things, and Minyue people didn't even dare to fart! ”

Dongou King: "......"

The important minister stroked his cuffs and snorted coldly: "I heard that with the merchants who have been to the south, the Qin State has the tendency to annex the world, and the ancestral tombs of the Chu State have been burned by the Qin State. If the Qin State really wants our land, it will definitely be pressed directly by the army, what kind of conspiracy and tricks do you need to play? They didn't play any tricks on the Chu State. ”

Dongou King: Why does the words "......" sound uncomfortable?

The important minister continued: "If the king wants to defend against the Qin state, he should immediately contact Xiou and Minyue. Only by joining forces can the Yue people be excluded from the country. ”

The king of Dongou sighed: "If the Qin State has already been overwhelmed by a large army, we may be able to unite. Now the Qin army has not made much movement, I am afraid that they will not. ”

Especially the Xiou tribe, they boast that they are protected by the mountains, even if Dongou and Minyue are destroyed, it has nothing to do with them. It's too hard to get them to contribute.

was originally a Yue country, but now it has become a hundred Yue, no wonder the Zhu Xiang Guild sighed.

Chongchen said: "Since Baiyue can't unite now, what else can he do except with Qin Guoxu and the snake?" With the kindness of Zhu Xianggong, Dongou has a bumper harvest of grain and strengthens its national strength. It will also be easier to resist the Qin State in the future. ”

Dongou King sighed again: "But the widow can't believe that the Qin people will really help the widow farm." ”

Okay, the conversation is back to that.

The important ministers of the two factions quarreled again, and the king of Dongou continued to persuade him to fight.

Zhu Xiang left the stage early, and instead of holding a pillow, he wanted to sleep with Li Mu and Wang Jian to share his excess desire to talk.

The three of them spread the hay, planks, and brocade on the bedding on the ground, and let Zhu Xiang sleep in the middle and chatter.

Zhu Xiang: "They must be very noisy now!" ”

Li Mu: "Hmm. ”

Wang Jian: "What are they arguing about?" You're kind enough to help them, but they're not happy? ”

Zhu Xiang: "They think that my weasel is giving New Year's greetings to chickens, and I don't have a good heart!" ”

Li Mu: "Hmm. ”

Wang Jian: "What? Will weasels still give chickens New Year's greetings? ”

Zhu Xiang: "Actually, I really didn't have any bad intentions, I didn't think that after his grain harvest here, Minyue and Xiou, who were short of grain, would come to rob him." ”

Li Mu: "Huh...... Whew......"

Wang Jian: "Then I'll go and rob Minyue again!" ”

Zhu Xiang and Wang Jian chatted until dawn, and Li Mu slept all night without dreams until dawn in the noisy voice.

On the second day, Zhu Xiang and Wang Jian looked a little sluggish, and Li Mu was full of energy.

Zhu Xiang looked at Li Mu's eyes full of resentment. said that you had a good night talk, but you actually slept secretly. I should have kicked you a few times if I had known I could, and kicked you up.

Li Mu said: "If you are not in good spirits, will you sleep for a while?" ”

Wang Jian shook his head: "I'll go wash my face and be refreshed." ”

After he finished speaking, he went to take a cold shower, and sure enough, he was refreshed.

Probably the generals have this ability to wake up immediately, otherwise it is not good to attack at night.

Only Zhu Xiang is still in low spirits.

Dongou King's spirits were also very low. He saw Zhu Xiang, who was also in low spirits, and asked, "Zhu Xianggong didn't sleep well?" Can't enjoy serving? ”

Zhu Xiang reluctantly smiled: "No." It's just that the thought of missing the planting time makes it hard to sleep. ”

The eyes of the important ministers behind the Dongou King lit up again.

This is Zhu Xianggong!

Dongou King said stubbornly: "Zhu Xianggong's kindness is very admired by the widow. It's just that...... It's just that...... Alas, some of the widow's courtiers did not believe in the Qin State very much. ”

Zhu Xiang said: "I understand Dongou Jun's worries. Dongou Jun can send someone to protect me. ”

Zhu Xiang saw that the king of Dongou was still hesitating, and said, "Except for helping Dongou country farm, I won't ask for any benefits." The state of Qin would not ask for anything either. ”

King Dongou was extremely surprised: "This ...... Can this Zhu Xianggong decide? ”

Zhu Xiang said: "Just this year and next year, one and a half years is enough for your people to learn the planting method I teach." Before next year's autumn and winter harvest, I promise that the Qin State and the Dongou State will not start a war dispute. ”

Zhu Xiang smiled and said, "I am the Changping Jun of the Qin State and the county guard of Wu County. This matter can still be decided. ”

King Dongou was stunned again: "Zhu Xianggong is actually the county guard of Wu County?!" Isn't the county guard of Wu County General Li Mu?! ”

Zhu Xiang's expression was strange: "I came to Wu County to take over the post of county guard, and it has been several months. ”

No way? Is Dongou so closed? Don't even know that the county guard of Wu County has been replaced?

However, Dongou Capital City and Wu County are separated by two mountains, maybe it is really not well-informed? Alas, so it is necessary to develop sea transportation.

Dongou King said excitedly: "Then where will General Li Mu be transferred?" ”

Zhu Xiang looked at the excited expression of the Dongou King, and sympathized with the Dongou King for a second in his heart.

"General Li Mu is the general who commands the border forces of the entire three counties of Southern Qin, and he should not concurrently serve as the county guard of Wu County." Zhu Xiang explained, "General Li Mu is still stationed in Wu County to prevent the Chu army from moving south. ”

Dongou King: "...... are you sure that General Li Mu is guarding against the Chu army going south, rather than coming south every day to grab things?"

He wondered if Li Mu was a Hu person, why did he run away every time he grabbed something? I heard that only the Hu people in the north will be like this, and even the group of tribesmen in Xiou are not so ugly.

Although it was not he who robbed it, and he also gained many benefits from trading with the Qin army, the king of Dongou was still a little worried.

"Are you relieved now?" Zhu Xiang said, "If you really don't agree, I won't force it." Alas, it's just a pity for those lands. ”

Seeing that Zhu Xiang only had the land available for cultivation that Zhu Xiang could not forget, the balance in his heart kept shifting towards Zhu Xiang.

Zhu Xiang said again: "If you agree, I can ask Qin Jun to help build the water conservancy." ”

King Dongou was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth: "This, is this really okay?" ”
