Chapter 16 Agricultural Affairs
Quyuan plough was born in advance, what kind of changes will it have in advance, Sun Ming is not clear, but agriculture must develop, and the degree of development depends on the specific promotion, Sun Ming directly called the prime minister to discuss it.
"Prime Minister, how about this plow?" Sun Ming is in the open space in front of the palace, after the level here is now, there is only a stone road between the palace gate and the council hall, and the rest of the place is land, you can plow it at will, and then let people level it.
"Oh, is this the new plough that the king asked the craftsmen to make?" Shang Rong looked at the plough in surprise. Some of today's peasants don't even have a plow, while others are unusually heavy, and they have never seen such a light plough as the curved plow.
"Yes, lightweight, simple structure, can be disassembled and replaced accessories, easy to make, the price is not high, I Chaoge range of farmers should generally use it, come to people, try the plow. Sun Ming waved his hand, and before the servant stepped up, he directly put the plough on the ploughing ox, and then began to plow, and this ox was also a little different, it had a copper ring hanging on its nose, and the servant followed as soon as he pulled it.
"This ...... King, what's on this cow's nose?" Shang Rong is a successful prime minister, and he knows a lot about farming, so he naturally sees the difference between cattle.
"This is the nose ring, bring the nose ring to the cow, it is quite convenient when the cow is raised, a child can lead it, plus the plow, the prime minister thinks that this year's spring ploughing can open up how much wasteland. Sun Ming asked.
"This, I don't know how this is specific, but it should be twice as much as last year, and now there is more than a month before spring ploughing, and the king is not to be ado, he must start to act. Shang Rong said with some urgency.
Sun Ming nodded, and then said: "It's true that you can start to act, but things have to be divided into two ends, the first is to hurry up with the craftsman to make a new plow, this point can be done in a centralized manner, see this plow? Disassemble it, let different craftsmen complete different parts, unify the size, make one part per person, and then assemble it." ”
"Shhh...... This method can indeed increase the efficiency, but the size is difficult to unify, and it will always be worse. "The Shang Dynasty did not have a unified weights and measures, so there is no qualified ruler now, so this is a bit troublesome.
"There is no need to worry about this, I am going to go to the Holy Master's Hall and pray for the Holy Master's help, you go and prepare other things first, wood and bronze materials must be prepared, all the craftsmen will be summoned to perform the pilgrimage, and at the same time there is a second thing that you need to do, this is quite urgent. ”
"Command, the king. Shang Rong is full of confidence, he is very optimistic about today's farming, and he is full of enthusiasm.
"The second thing is the census, now the villages are too scattered, the transportation is inconvenient, the management is difficult, and this spring ploughing needs to reclaim a large amount of wasteland, how to use all the manpower is a difficult point, so I need you to mobilize all the officials to participate in the mobilization of the population and labor. For example, if there are many people in this village, but there is little land around, then a part of the population will be moved, or a new village will be formed, and the location of the village will be adjusted by choosing a place close to the pipeline and 20 acres of land per capita. ”
"This ...... In this case, the matter is very heavy, especially the matter of the house, and if you don't get it right, you will delay the spring ploughing. Shang Rong looked worried, this matter is a good thing in the long run, but it is too onerous to do now.
Sun Ming does not think so, so that the distribution of labor per unit area can be adjusted, so that the labor force can play the greatest role, and at the same time facilitate the concentration of population, forming a county town between more than a dozen villages, so that commodities can circulate, and only circulation can be rich, which will be of great help to Sun Ming in the future to unify weights and measures, especially the circulation of money.
"Let the Taishi dispatch a large army, directly help the farmers to move and build houses, and at the same time strictly enforce military discipline, once the disturbance of the people is discovered, beheaded on the spot, not tolerated, officials from all over the country fully cooperate, they should have household registration there, this time the matter is included in the official assessment, if you do a good job of promotion, if you don't do it well, you will be demoted directly, and if you are corrupt, you will be directly beheaded. ”
"Yes. Shang Rong heard Sun Ming's determination, and then left with the new plough and the craftsman, while Sun Ming ordered to go down and prepare to go to the Holy Master's Hall to pray for blessings.
Some preparation is just for outsiders to see, Sun Ming came all the way to the Holy Master Hall, and then still entered the main hall by himself, the statue of the six ears moved again, "Why are you here at this time? You haven't reached the time to break through!"
"If you have something to come to you, give me the Qiankun Ding, Qiankun Ruler, and Liuhe Pagoda, forget it, so as not to trouble in the future, give me all the things!" Sun Ming thought about it, he couldn't come to Liu'er every time, it was easy to have problems after a long time, so he directly took his spiritual treasure all at one time.
"That's all?" asked Liu'er.
"No, you still have to go to the treasure money, I am ready to agree to weights and measures, now that I have a Qiankun ruler, the unit of length is easy to get. However, you also need to agree to the monetary unit of the treasure money, followed by the weight unit, which you need to look for. ”
"Okay, I'll take care of that. Liu'er left directly, and Sun Ming stayed for three days, and all three days were used to refining the body, after all, the thunder tribulation in the future will inevitably be doubled, and it is not possible to have a good body, and refining the skin is really painful, but Sun Ming can only grit his teeth and insist, his progress was too fast at the beginning, and there were no such steps at all, so he didn't know whether it was good or bad, and now he has the opportunity to complete it, and he can't let it go.
Six Ears left, the statue returned to its original state, and the True Body of Six Ears, who was far away on Lingyun Island, then opened his eyes, and Tong Ji and Akajiri sat beside him, one left and one right, and looked at it at the same time.
"Is there something wrong?" asked Tongji.
"Well, the deity wants to agree to weights and measures, I want to look for the treasure money, I don't know if it's on Wuyi Mountain, so I need to go and see it in person, you two scatter and go to find the spiritual treasure related to the weight. ”
"Isn't it okay to make one yourself?" Akajiri asked.
"If we can, we don't have to bother, but this kind of thing is still innately good, after all, this is the spiritual treasure that exists under the Heavenly Dao, there must be a reason, the deity is estimated to mean this, and with the spiritual treasure as a benchmark, it will not be damaged, it can be maintained for a long time, and there will be no mistakes, act." ”
The three monkeys got up directly, and then divided into different directions and left directly, the disciples on the island didn't know why, and they didn't think to ask, and the six ears flew all the way to the southwest, looking for Wuyi Mountain.
And the arm is heading to the north, Akajiri was originally going south, but he listened to it halfway through, rolled his eyes, and then went directly to the land of the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea. His talent is to control water, although he beheaded the corpse, but the magic power was retained, and he directly entered the East China Sea all the way to the Dragon Palace.
"I don't know if the immortal is coming to the distant welcome, and I hope that the immortal will atone for his sins. "Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, knows Chijiri, this is Sun Ming's evil corpse, he doesn't dare to offend, he listened to Sun Ming's words and threw himself into Heaven, and now he does get a lot of benefits, and he doesn't have to go to Heaven to work, so he is very free.
"Ao Guang, I'll ask questions, but what spirit treasure can be weighed. "At the beginning, the treasure house of the dragon clan was taken by Sun Ming, but he took the treasure house of the ancestral dragon of the dragon clan, and the four seas have their own treasure troves, although they are much smaller, but after so many years, it is estimated that they have recovered some, so Akajiri thought about coming here to find it.
"Weighing, this little dragon hasn't paid attention to it, the former immortal enters to rest, the little dragon will go to find it, and ask my three brothers no matter how bad it is. "Dragon King Ao Guang didn't dare to slack off.
"It's the best, I don't want you in vain, when the time comes, I will exchange with you, and I will definitely not let you suffer. ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, Xiaolong doesn't dare to be greedy, just go and find it. Ao Guang hurriedly rummaged through the treasure house, the dragon clan just likes to collect, but they don't necessarily need to use it, they don't usually need to fight in real life now, and the disadvantages are also clear, but now it is difficult to prosper in ancient times.
There is indeed no such spiritual treasure in the East China Sea, Ao Guangyou hurriedly gathered his three brothers, and finally the Dragon King of the North Sea took out a spiritual treasure like a scale, called 'Solid Stone'. It can be big or small, heavy or light, and very strong, and Akajiri is very happy after seeing it, this is the scale, there is no difference in appearance, but the color is different, and it is golden.
"Okay, okay, that's it, I'll change it with you. Then he directly took out a jade brick, although it is an acquired spirit treasure, but this is the best, it is the stepping stone of Lingyun Island Lingyun Peak, and the solid stone is just a spirit treasure in the world, and the dragon clan earned it.
Akajiri went back happily, and the four dragon kings were also happy to get a top-grade spirit treasure the day after tomorrow, so everyone had no opinion, but it was just a matter of changing the scales for the bricks.
It is not difficult for the six ears to find Wuyi Mountain, now the children of the saints have come down the mountain, and the blessed land of the cave heaven they are looking for has spread in the world, and a large number of immortal mountain cave islands are occupied by them, but the human cultivators are not, they directly stay in the holy city, concentrate on cultivation, and do not preach, just enter the mortal world every period of time to find some disciples.
It is very easy for Liu'er to find someone, and he came to Wuyi Mountain to listen directly to the surrounding movements, and soon found Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao, the two of them are studying the problem of cultivation, after all, the two of them are casual cultivators, and many years ago they got a fragment of cultivation exercises in Wuyi Mountain, and it is unknown who left it, after all, there are too many cultivators coming and going in the desolate land, and I don't know how many have fallen.
Liu'er landed directly, which frightened Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao, and Liu'er didn't care what their mood was, and asked directly: "The money for the treasure here is in the hands of the two of you?"
"This ...... Returning to the Holy Master, we have indeed obtained this treasure, and if the Holy Master wants it, we will naturally offer it with both hands. The two of them didn't dare to lie, as a human race, they naturally knew the power of the holy master, so they hurriedly took out the spirit treasure, and Liuer took it and looked at it. This is the best innate spirit treasure, in the shape of a copper coin with a round square hole, there are wings on the left and right, and there are innate patterns emerging, and the six ears nodded with satisfaction.
"I won't take it in vain, you are willing to enter the Holy City to cultivate, so that you can avoid killing and robbery in the future. Liu'er put away the spirit treasure and then asked.
"Thank you, Holy Master. The two of them hurriedly knelt down and bowed, after all, entering the Holy City was a creation, there was a complete cultivation method, and someone instructed them to cultivate, although they couldn't worship the six ears, but after all, they had entered the door of cultivation. Liu'er didn't talk nonsense, just rolled up the two of them and left, and sent them directly to the Holy City.
