New Story of Lv Bu

: : Spring Plowing

While the family and middle officials in Luoyang City were playing Wanwanruoer, everyone in Wuyuan County was doing one thing in the morning and evening: farming! It stands to reason that the scalpers should go everywhere after the Qingming Festival, but Wuyuan County experienced heavy casualties after experiencing the siege of Xianbei. Collecting the bones and burying relatives, rebuilding the destroyed houses?? In fact, it was just a hassle repair to the extent that people can live?? It took a full half a month. If you don't plant any more, you can only drink northwest wind this fall.

Yan Zheng was the first to realize this problem. Yan Zheng, who was born in a family of merchants, had an extraordinary interest in everything that could make money. He took the initiative to find Lu Bu and talked about his worries. "My lord, the weather is a little later this year, and the south wind came a little late. But we have to plant quickly. If we missed the farming season, the price of food will rise sharply this fall. It will be too late to regret it." To be honest, Lu Bu I really haven't thought about this problem. But he immediately realized that this is a big problem. How to raise soldiers and fight wars without food?

"Father-in-law, dare to ask what is the yield per mu in Wuyuan County?" "The average yield is three stones per mu, while the upper field yields 10% more, and the lower field yields 10% less." Lu Bu silently calculated in his heart, this figure is equivalent to the later generations of 280 per mu. About catty. "How many manpower fields can get this number?" "A family of five, but there are only two capable fields." "Is there a way to increase production?" Yan Zheng nodded in thought for a while. "Yes, to put it simply, it is Daitian Law and District Law." Lu Bu was stunned, how did he know these. Seeing his son-in-law's surprised expression, Yan Zheng felt a burst of happiness in his heart. Although you are the prefect, you are still a young child in this field.

"This generation of field method is relatively simple to say. One mu of land is six feet wide, with three ditches and three ridges. This year the seeds will be planted in the ditches and next year they will be planted in the ridges, so it is called generation fields. When the seeds germinate and grow leaves, they are When cultivating and weeding, the ridge soil on both sides of the ditch was raked down and buried in the roots of the crops, so that it can prevent wind and lodging, and can resist drought. This generation of field method is fortunate to rotate the land and does not do its best. The generation field method is in Wuyuan. The county uses a lot, and it can be used for both upper and middle fields."

"The district field method is to divide an acre of land into 3700 districts, according to the different crops, either digging holes or ditches. Grain, millet, wheat, soybean, fern (Suzi, a kind of oil crop), flax, these must be opened. Ditch. For planting millet, wheat, soybeans, melons, pots, and taro, pits must be dug. The yield of the district field method is two or three times higher than that of the generation field method, sometimes four or five times. However, it requires skilled hands and manpower who can cultivate the fields. The financial resources are used a lot, usually Ueda will use it."

"Dare to ask my father-in-law, how many fields are there in Wuyuan County? How many fields are there in the upper middle and lower fields? How many have not been planted yet?" Yan Zheng deserves to be a businessman, and the number comes out with one mouth, "The field is 70,000 hectares, and Ueda is 20%. , Nakata Qicheng, Shimoda Yicheng. As of the seventh day of April, 90% had not been planted." Yan Zheng glanced at Lu Bu and continued. "Wuyuan County has eight thousand and five hundred households, with a mouth of 43,000. This time the Xianben invasion resulted in a total of 13,000 casualties. Among the remaining 30,000 people, only 40% were young and strong. It is equivalent to every young and strong person. Plowing five and a half fields, if you add people who sow according to the district field method, it is equivalent to six hectares per person, but the district field method depends entirely on people."

Lu Bu's sweat came down, six hectares per person, fifteen days, how many people would be exhausted! The point is that the planting may not be finished yet. Reading through novels in previous lives, the protagonist is always domineering, asking someone for money, how can it be so hard for oneself? So many brain cells will be killed and injured in one seeding. However, he has matured a lot for his two lives. He gave an order to call all the heads and brains of Wuyuan County, and the little officials guarded mountain-like wooden slips and waited for orders.

As soon as the people arrived, Lu Bu issued three orders: Immediately ask for the number of acres in the counties of Wuyuan County, the number of unsown acres, the number of cows and horses in the county, the number of people, the number of young and strong people, and the number of cows and horses seized in this battle. number. While he was busy giving orders, Yan Zheng was busy explaining the current predicament to everyone. This is not difficult to explain, and everyone will understand it when they hear it. If you don’t plant the land, the harvest will be confiscated in autumn, and everyone can only be hungry! When you are hungry, your ambitions will come to nothing.

"Farming! The whole army must go to the fields, and start from Gao Shun!" Gao Shun immediately made his stand clear, and the following Wei Yue, Hou Cheng and others naturally agreed repeatedly. Only Jun Cheng Ma Han sat there without saying a word. The small staff in the hall looked at Lu Shijun with an annoyed look, and for fear of damaging the pond fish, they moved so fast that the two bags of melons were much more flexible than they used to be. In less than a quarter of an hour, all the data that Lu Bu wanted was reported. The number of people in the field is the same as that reported by Yankuan, three thousand cattle and five thousand horses. Four thousand cattle and over 20,000 horses were seized in this battle.

Lu Bu let out a long sigh. In his impression, cattle and horses would greatly improve the efficiency of farming. "It's a good thing to use oxen and horses to plow the fields. One oxen can be worth five people, but it also requires the cooperation of plows." Yan Zheng added. After a quarter of an hour, the plow data came up. There are two thousand plows in the county, most of which are in the hands of the family. Lu Bu was really anxious now, and turned to ask Lu Mo. "How much can your craftsman camp produce within three days of working overtime?" "It's mainly plowshares. As long as there is iron, you can hit two hundred pairs a day. There is no shortage of wood." "How many plows are there in Lujiazhuang?" "Five hundred. "Take them all out today." Lu Bu glanced at everyone present before giving another order. "All the people who are sent to help the people, not the family, if anyone dares to disobey the order, they will not forgive!"

The rest is simple, the most important thing in the county now is to plant the seeds within half a month. Yan Kuan and others went to various counties to supervise and urge spring ploughing, and each took cattle and horses to plow. These livestock and farm tools were either sold to the people or helped spring ploughing. The army also stopped all activities and went down to farming, leaving only the Tabai army to monitor Xianbei and maintain public order.

Everyone has already left, and Lu Bu spread his limbs out on the bed. Agriculture and planting are all new fields for him, and it takes a lot of energy to learn. The curtain was lifted, Yan Shi walked in, Ruixiang followed behind her, holding a pot of hot water. Yan stepped forward quickly to remove Lu Bu's shoes and socks, and pressed his feet into the water.

"Well, it's so stinking." Yan Shi slapped Lu Bu's feet with his small hands while fanning his nose. "I heard what you said in your own house just now. You are still too conservative, and you don't know if you let others lie." "What? Someone lied to me? You make it clear." Lü Bu sat up all of a sudden.

"You slow down!" Yan's startled. "Wuyuan County has 70,000 hectares of cultivated land, but there are 30,000 yuan in the hands of the family. The Ma family has the most, 12,000 yuan, and the Lu family’s fields are sold to them when they leave. My father Many of them have 8,000 qi, and our family is 5,000 qi. These 30,000 hectares have been sown long ago. This year, the farming season was missed because of the encirclement of the Xianbei people. I wondered, I am afraid that they have insufficient manpower. I came up with such a trick to fool you."

Lu Bu understood at once, this was probably the idea that his Yue Zhang had come up with, and he planned to use the power of the government to plant seeds for himself. He sighed and showed a tired look on his face. After all, he was a family. How could he get a heavy hand? Yan Shi understood his feelings and took another sentence. "But the mother said that in the future, the old man will not say anything about Yan inside and outside the house, and ask his mother about big things, and Dalang about small things."

Lu Bu didn't reply, Ruizhu stepped forward and wiped Lu Bu's feet dry, carrying the basin. Yan Shi sat next to Lü Bu, nestled his head in Lü Bu's arms. "I said Fengxian, you should also find a counselor. You are far behind these old foxes. Lu Bu's heart is bleak, yes, where is my counselor?

Yuan Shao took a light car and walked through the streets and alleys of Luoyang with five or six followers, but he was full of pride in his heart. Yuan Kui, an uncle who had always treated him well, finally sent him this important messenger to visit several scholars who were about to let go of their children. These people will be a shepherd in a few days. He Yuan Shao visited on behalf of the Yuan family. This means that these people will become his subordinates in the future?? What kind of help is this?

Yuan Shao is not short of money. What he lacks is talent and reputation. This has always been his shortcoming. Even his younger brother Cao Aman has a comment of "A good minister in the world, a treacherous hero in troubled times", and another younger brother Zhang Miao and Zhang Mengzhuo also have the name of "Eight Kitchens". He Yuan Benchu ​​is very ambitious, and he is not as famous as his two younger brothers. How can he swallow this breath?

This is all right, these few people are their own capital to fly into the sky in the future, they must be perfunctory! Yuan Shao finally made up his mind.

Yuan Shu hid in the dark and watched Yuan Shao walk into the small house gracefully. His jealousy was like a pig-killing knife that had penetrated into his abdomen in an instant, shattering his heart, liver, and abdomen. To be honest, at first his jealousy towards Yuan Shao, his concubine, was just a kind of mischief, just like a child who has a lot of toys in his hands, but he is still jealous when he sees other children have toys. The purpose is just to get more toys and more care. Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei knew this, so they didn't punish him much. The eldest brother, Yuan Ji, was a high-ranking official of two thousand shi at a young age. Naturally, he didn't talk about his demeanor, and he treated him like a child. Yuan Shao is a few years older than him, and everything gets him three points.

But everyone did not expect that it was this matter that completely annoyed Yuan Shu by three points. So you all thought I was just a child! I thought I was just fooling around! You are all grown-ups, don't you play nonsense? Okay, then I'll really fool around for you to see! The result is that the more Yuan Shu slaps everyone, the more accommodating it is. In the end, Yuan Shu is very frustrated. You don't think of me as an adult anymore! After contacting Yuan Shu's adulthood, a series of measures, including proclaiming the emperor, were played on a whim. As for the consequences, he had never considered. The root cause lies in the brothers Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei.
