After the wheat seedlings wintered, not only did they not freeze to death, but grew better and better day by day, people often came to Hanchuan's wheat field, touched the land religiously, and would help him get rid of weeds when he saw them.

These people see not only the wheat of Hanchuan, but also the harvest of more than one season a year. This season they are gone, but next year, this time next year, they will also be busy in the wheat fields, hard but happy.

If you want to say that you are the happiest, you have to count Song Yang. He saw the opportunity quickly, followed Han Chuan's composting, and caught up with the planting of wheat in time, and when it was time to harvest, his harvest was naturally indispensable.

When the Han family and the Song family harvested wheat, almost half of the people in Taoxi came to watch and help, although it has not yet been threshed and dried, but people who are used to farm work know that the harvest is not bad, because of the fertilization, more than what was planted in the past spring.

"In the future, I will plant whatever Han Gong plants."

"It's still wise to the public, we pig brains, everything is one step slower!"

"Han Wangsun! Han Wangsun! Can you help me see if the rice seedlings are growing? ”

Some people chatted, but some people asked on the spot, Han Chuan answered one by one, and suddenly heard someone shouting: "Hey, isn't that Liang Gao, why did he come back?" ”

Beam height? Han Chuan has an impression, but he has never met anyone. I heard that he was a ranger, and he went to the field to be a noble person's doorman in his early years, and came back to send money and food to his widowed mother, but he never came back in the past few years, and only asked someone to send the money and food back.

It should be okay, although he can't be rich, but his widow's daily life can be maintained. But how did he get back?

Liang Gao has already approached, this is a very young man, Han Chuan always thought he was in his thirties when he heard people talk about it, in fact, he went out to travel at the age of sixteen or seventeen, and now he is only twenty-four or five, with long legs and long arms, a sword tied around his waist, and a bow behind his back.

Hearing someone call him, he took down his hat and raised his hand to say hello, and said loudly: "General Xiang Yan died in battle, the Qin army broke through Shouchun, and I took advantage of the chaos to run back." Everyone get ready to prepare, Huaiyin is afraid that it will also become Qindi. ”

There was an uproar, and everyone couldn't care about harvesting the wheat, so they rushed up and asked. Liang Gao fanned the wind with a hat, looked at the wheat harvested at this time curiously, didn't bother to ask, and answered his father's question first.

It turned out that he had been in Shouchun all these years, and he didn't make a guest for any nobles, but went to a big businessman to eat together. Xiang Yan was defeated, and people's hearts were in turmoil, and he couldn't even find where to run to the master's house, so he had to run away from Shouchun, where people's hearts were in turmoil.

He also got a ride that no one cared about, otherwise he wouldn't have come back so quickly. On the way, I met people, and I heard that Shouchun had been broken, and some people said that the king was dead, and some people said that the king was captured by the Qin people.

He thought that he still had his mother, since the loyal lord's family had disappeared, what happened to the king was none of his business, he had to go home first, so he galloped all the way to death, and rushed back to let the hometown father and old man make preparations.

It is estimated that it is too late to run, hide the grain, hide in the mountains or hide in Daze, or resign yourself to fate at home, then you can only take care of each other.

After the matter was finished, everyone rushed home to discuss one or two things with the whole family. The wheat has been harvested, Han Chuan asked Chen Yu to rush back by car, and he waited here, and he couldn't leave. Liang Gao was anxious to go home to see his mother, but he only looked at the wheat field again, and strode back to Taoxi.

His mother was in good health, but her eyes were not good, she could barely work, and she lived on the money and food he sent. But because of this, I have to be free, and I know everything in it. Liang Gao asked his mother, and only then did he know that Han Chuan, who had moved from Taoxi a few years ago, had magical skills in farming, and he couldn't help but be amazed.

There was a lot of chaos in Taoxi for a while, and there were relatives who lived elsewhere, so they had to go to tell the news. But few families actually fled.

Where to flee? Let's talk about it if you really call it, now that you have escaped, the rice is raising seedlings, and the land is still planted? If you don't plant, you will miss the harvest of the year, and if you escape, there is no way to live, so it is better to hide the grain and leave it to fate.

Song Yang went around the county, and when he came back, he didn't tell others, and privately reassured Han Chuan: "The county order intends to dedicate the city, and it is estimated that there will be no war, so we can be Qin people with peace of mind in the future." ”

It can only be like this, Han Chuan couldn't help but think of his son's dream again. If the Qin State annexed the Chu State, where did the soldiers of Han Xin start the war when he became an adult?

The general trend of history passed vigorously, Huaiyin was safe and sound, the county ordered Wei Shang to take the initiative to surrender to Qin, and the Qin army even only sent a team of people to take over temporarily, and the army did not settle in, and went directly to attack other places.

The talents in Taoxi breathed a sigh of relief, and the county officials came with a bitter face. This is someone Song Yang knew, he hurriedly greeted and asked, and the little official complained bitterly when he saw him: "The Qin State is really strict, and as soon as he came, Qin Lu, who dragged a cart, asked us to copy and recite, if the assessment is not successful, I can't sit in the position of the little official." By the way, you are the name of our Chu land here, and in the future, it will be changed to the title of Qin State, and it will be called Lidian. ”

It's nothing, as long as you don't demote him and replace him. Song Yang breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "You are here today to inform me of this?" ”

"How can it be so simple, the original inner gate supervisor does not need to be replaced, but there is an additional field code. The Qin State attaches great importance to agricultural affairs, this is a field official, you can discuss it and push one person to do it. ”

Is this still negotiable? Song Yang immediately said: "We don't have to think much about it in Taoxi, it's Han Chuan." ”

The little official is not surprised, he has also heard of Han Chuan's reputation, and Han Chuan is still a scholar, which is suitable for Tiandian. He took a sip of the syrup and said: "The three of you also have to memorize the law, and take the assessment before October this year - by the way, in the future, take October as the first year, don't make a mistake, and if you have time these days, you will go to the county to copy a copy of the new calendar." ”

Song sheep's heads are all big, and they write them down one by one, and they say that there is something wrong with the Qin people, and the good October has become the head of the year?

The little official is gone, and he has to go to another place to elect Tian Dian and record and report. This is also a special place for new harvesting, the old land of the Qin State, and grassroots officials like Tian Dian must be recommended and then passed the assessment before they can do it. For the people of the new land, this is the first opportunity to leap forward in a new land.

Some people rely on favors, some people rely on money, and Han Chuan relied on the Book of Heaven and the accumulation of these two years, and the reputation he inadvertently exchanged for finally made him break away from the status of a commoner in the Qin State and become a small official in the Qin State.

The first task of the newly appointed Taoxi Li Tian Dian was to lead people to redivide the acres. Qin mu is a large mu, while the Huaiyin area is still a small mu. The recovered wheat had to be threshed and dried, and the rice had to be planted, so he had to hire another short-time worker, otherwise he would not have been able to keep it busy.

It just so happened that Liang Gao, who had just returned to Huaiyin, now had no livelihood, and when he heard that he was going to hire someone, he took the initiative to come to the door. Han Chuan has not yet received the official salary for this Tian Dian, so he has to pay for work first, and he is depressed in his heart.

Fortunately, the people in Taoxi still cooperated, and no one was embarrassed by him, so Han Chuan took the time to recite the laws that Tian Dian should master at home. Although he didn't learn the family heirloom books, he was also a person who had been reading hard since he was a child, and it was relatively easy to memorize.

Especially compared with Lidian Song Yang, who was still reciting painfully, Han Chuan suddenly felt very happy. Anyway, the short-term workers are all hired, and being idle is also idle, he left the relationship between Song Yang, borrowed all the Qin laws he could find, and read through them, and read out a cold sweat on his back.

This must be strictly enforced, civilians really can't be believable, and he must also be careful in this field, because if he slacks off, he will be convicted, and he will be sentenced to death at the least. Lidian is even more miserable, if there is a thief in the middle of the house and someone dies, Lidian and Limen Supervisor will have to sit together even if they are outside at the time.

Not to mention civilians, the good ones will be sat together for the crimes of their neighbors. In this posture, he didn't want to make a meritorious service to get a knighthood to prepare for his crimes, and Han Chuan couldn't even sleep well. However, it seems that the Qin State attaches great importance to farming, and even if the composting technique cannot be judged before the Qin State swallows Chu, those good seeds should be able to help him get a knighthood...... He's got to plan it out.

The neighbors in Taoxi didn't care much about Qin Lu yet, they cared about paying taxes. Han Chuan was also concerned about this, and he also went to the county with Song Yang to inquire, and came back to tell the villagers: "The field rent is not heavy, twelve taxes and one, but there are other oral and household endowments, and you have to pay a lot of money a year." ”

The villagers also accepted it well. Chu also has military endowments, and they always have to pay money in addition to the field endowments, which is the same in any country. They didn't care, but the more Han Chuan learned, the more scared he became.

Seeing that he was reading painfully, Lin Lu put down the heavenly book he was studying, and also accompanied him to learn Qin law. Reading and reading, Han Chuan found that his wife had a little insomnia at night, and he occasionally woke up at night and saw that Lin Lu was also awake.

When I asked, I found out that I read Qin Lu.

"Qin's laws are too strict, but what I'm more afraid of is the meaning behind these decrees, which is more chilling to read than ice." Lin Lu took Han Chuan's hand and put it under his face, only then did he feel a little warm, "Have you read the books of the Legalists, doesn't it mean that the laws of Qin are all set by the Legalists." ”

"No, there really isn't a Legalist in the collection of books at home." Han Chuan hugged his wife in his arms and asked softly, "We are Xiaomin, it has nothing to do with us, we just have to try to get the title, otherwise we will be blamed at every turn, how can we live this life?" ”

"Love, didn't you think of the summary of Yangguo in the Book of Heaven? Although there are no Legalists there, the policy of fooling the people and the weak people of the emperor's rule mentioned in the book - if you think about the Qin law again, isn't it also in line with it? ”

Han Chuan shuddered, and only then did he match the summary of the concept of Yangguo in the Book of Heaven with the law of Qin. He was reciting Qin Law to death recently, and he was very familiar with it, and immediately remembered a lot of content.

Although some of them are more reasonable than those of Chu, many of the contents related to the people's livelihood and the country's foundation are indeed aimed at weakening the people. In wartime, civilians can still be rewarded for their military exploits, and when the state of Qi also falls under Qin's rule, this road will not work. So what other way out can the small people have besides farming and working?

Qin Lu didn't seem to need them to have a way out, as long as they worked diligently and became the king's soldiers and taxes.

This...... This is completely different from what he worships immortals as teachers, reads heavenly books to open his mind, and aspires to do.

The law of the Qin State seems to make the people ignorant and afraid, and they only work hard to the death for the great cause of the Qin State, which Han Chuan cannot agree with. Although Chu Guo is not very good, he is loosely managed, and there are naturally not so many restrictions, so it is more convenient for him to do whatever he wants. When he arrived in Qin, he was afraid that he could only make some useful tools around the main business of farming, otherwise he could only use the name of his uncle.

Besides, after Qin ruled the world, could this kind of harsh law, this kind of strong imprisonment of the people, really be carried out for a long time?

Han Chuan remembered his son's dream again. Maybe in the world in the dream, Han Xin did not fight for the Qin State, nor did he go out of the Qi State, but when he became an adult, the Qin State was in chaos again, and his son was a rebel and fought for the re-established King of Chu, right? Isn't it because of the failure of the rebellion that there will be the disaster of the Yi people, and he accompanied the king of Chu to martyr the Chu country?

He had a few more eyes to plan for the future.

"It's hard to do it, Qin still attaches importance to farming in the end, otherwise I won't be able to do Tiandian. Let's be careful, take it one step at a time. ”

The first thing to do now is to plant the land and see how to get a knighthood on you.

The transmission of news in these years is very interesting, for the nobles in the city, the news from far away in Xianyang is not too slow, but for the peasants outside the city, Qin has destroyed several countries, and they only know that their country has been destroyed by Qin.

The same is true for Han Chuan, after he made Tian Dian, he realized that his reputation had been spread in all the miles of Huaiyin Capital Township and his composting skills. After careful investigation, it turned out that the Dao clan was staking 10,000 yuan as a bet, and the famous people in the tori tried it first, and after the effect came out, the farmers also competed with Taoxi to learn. If it weren't for Song Yang preemptively setting a batch of people's manure, I'm afraid there would not be enough in Taoxi this year.

"Merchants also value righteousness." Han Chuan sighed, so when he visited Daogu again, he sincerely thanked him.

"It's not that Xie Dao's clan is famous for me, but Xie Dao's clan spreads this technique, please accept my worship."

Daogu still avoided it, after all, he was just a slave, and it was not easy to be polite. He also repeatedly emphasized that this was the master's work and that he should not receive this gift. Han Chuan actually cared a little bit about his identity, but he thought that he was learning from the immortals, and he shouldn't hold this humble opinion, and forcibly pressed the concept he had accepted since childhood.

Daojian returned to Qi Country this time, and he will not come back for the time being, and the blind man knows that the Qin State will finish it again, and the next thing to deal with is Qi State. Now Han Chuan is also a Qin official, and even his sighs seem nondescript, so he can only look at each other and smile bitterly.

"I heard that Han Gong was looking for someone to buy gypsum, so I purchased some, and someone will send it tomorrow, which is a parting gift on behalf of my master, and I ask Han Gong not to refuse. My master has learned the art of composting, and has tried it in his hometown, although he does not dare to ignore the merits of the king and grandson, but the villagers do not know the public face, only know the favor of my master. Such a reputation can not be worth it by a few ores. ”

That's all that has been said, Han Chuan is no longer polite to anyone, and he entrusts the matter of Daogu again.

So the next day, the neighbors saw that the ox cart dragged a lot of stones to Han Chuan's house, the Han family closed the door to entertain guests, and after a while, they moved out a number of wooden boxes, and they remembered that they had a good memory, "Isn't this the bamboo slip that Wang Sun brought when he first moved here?" ”

Well said, Han Chuan and the others said, straightened up and arched his hands around and smiled: "Most of the military books handed down in my family are soldiers, and I haven't learned them, so it seems that I won't need them in the future, so it's better to sell them for some money." ”

Daogu calmly aside, commanding the servants to carry the boxes onto the ox cart and drive them away, and bid farewell to Han Chuan.

The box was not filled with bamboo slips, but also with stones.

Han Chuan saw the unification of the Qin State, and he didn't dare to ignore the dreams that Han Xin had, if the Qin State really wanted to confiscate the folk collection of books one day, wouldn't the books that his ancestors had worked so hard to collect and preserve, and he would bring to Huaiyin when he sold his property?

When the merchant of Knife Valley arrived, he asked Knife Valley to play a scene with him, and he loaded a few stones in the box and dragged it away, just as if he had sold him the book. He is also an official now, and he knows that his books have been sold out, so is it difficult to go to his house to search? It's a big deal to wait for the wind to come and quietly bury all the bamboo slips. The Book of Heaven should be hidden.

Dao Gu not only sent him the ore, but also introduced him to the way, which he could buy himself in the future. Han Chuan rubbed his hands, asked his uncle to introduce a craftsman from a kiln, and took the ore to calcin.

This is also a method in the book of heaven, introducing several kinds, only this kind of he can still find materials to try, it is said that the effect is better than composting, and it doesn't take so long. It happened that the rice was going to be fertilized, so he bought a few large vats and spent some money to try it.

Fresh cow dung, flour from grinding mushrooms, and calcined gypsum are mixed in a large vat in proportion, covered with kudzu cloth and sealed with mud. Han Chuan didn't know if it was a seal or not, and when he opened it three days later, he felt that the color and smell were consistent with the description in the book, so he chose part of the field with a strong stomach and used it as fertilizer after mixing it with water.

After carefully observing for a few days, at least the crops were not dead, he finally put his mind back.
