Compulsory education in ancient times

Wang Junhao glanced at Tao Jianran with complicated eyes, and then said: "But let the adults make the decisions based on Jiedu."

When Tao Jianran heard this, the smile on his face froze immediately.It was this awkward atmosphere again. Ever since Qi Bohan came to the throne, Tao Jianran felt that the group of people headed by Weng Yuanji seemed to have a kind of vague hostility towards him.

Tao Jianran couldn't figure out what they were thinking, but since they didn't want to be friends with him anymore, there was no need for him to join in. Tao Jianran said a few words to Wang Junhao in a business-like manner, and inspected the camp until it was dark. Go back to your own house.

It gets dark early in Yizhou, coupled with the lack of resources, even the prefecture next door has a small stock of lamp oil, and almost no one will light a lamp at night.Tao Jianran was not good at wasting supplies, and after coaxing Bao'er and Bei'er to sleep, he laid down on the bed and planned the future development, but it was not about Yizhou.

He has already finished his plans for Yizhou, and what he wants to plan now is his own future.

After talking with Qi Bohan, Weng Yuanji's hostility towards him has become much less, but he can't pin his hopes on others not being hostile towards him.Qi Bohan will definitely be an emperor through the ages in the future, and he wants to stand shoulder to shoulder with Qi Bohan, so he can no longer live in such a ignorant way as in the past. He needs to form his own power, and he also needs to help Qi Bohan form a new power to meet his old confidant contend.

After getting along for a short time today, Qiu Yu became a very good candidate.Qiu Yu came from a poor family and was a talent who passed the imperial examination, but because his family had no background and couldn't get through the joints, after so many years, he could only be a prefect in Yizhou.

Don't look at Zhizhou's position as glamorous, but Zhizhou, which is located on the border, is a job where one's life is tied to one's belt.

In the past two years, the Xiongnu army entered the customs twice, and Yizhou was once empty.Yizhou can have what it is now, thanks to the hard work of Qiu Yu and a group of colleagues.

To sum up, Qiu Yu is capable, but has no background, and has a certain degree of loyalty to Qi Bohan.

Tao Jianran wrote and drew in the system's memo, and fell asleep without knowing it.When Tao Yanran woke up early the next morning, before he had time to have breakfast with Bao'er and Bei'er, he heard a small official come to report that Qiu Yu and the farmers were already waiting for him by the farmland!

Tao Jianran was taken aback by Qiu Yu's efficiency, so he quickly packed a big pancake, ate it while walking on the road, and rushed to the farmland.

The farmland that Qiu Yu chose was more than five miles away from the city, and nearly five miles away from the water source, so it was difficult to get water.

Since the Huns entered the customs for the first time two years ago, the population of Yizhou has decreased, and this land has been abandoned.Although it has not been cultivated for more than two years, the place is not too deserted, and it can be used quickly after leveling.This site selection can also be said to be well-intentioned, neither occupying the existing farmland nor delaying the cotton planting too much.

When Tao Jianran arrived, he saw Qiu Yu, Li Tongpan, Qian Changshi and Qiu Zhubo who had met yesterday, and ten men dressed as peasants, presumably they were the peasants they had found up.

Tao Jianran trotted forward and said, "Everyone has been waiting for a long time."

"Don't dare." Qiu Yu quickly waved his hand, and quickly introduced ten farmers to Tao Jianran, "My lord, these ten are all good farmers in the mansion. The yield per mu in the family has always been the highest in the mansion, so they must be able to do well." Take good care of the cotton."

Tao Jianran was a little surprised when he heard this: "Will it affect their family's spring plowing if they grow cotton?"

"Don't worry, my lord, all of these ten families are prosperous, and one of them is missing." This candidate was also carefully selected by Qiu Yu. Compared with Tao Jianran, he cared more about Yizhou's grain production, no matter what he did. Ensure that the grain in the state can at least be self-sufficient, otherwise, if you have to buy grain from outside, few families in the state can afford the high cost.

Only then did Tao Jianran feel relieved, and greeted the ten farmers one by one, before asking them: "How long will it take to plow and fertilize all of these [-] acres of land?"

The ten farmers were all very cautious. After hearing the words, they looked at each other a few times before someone lowered their heads and whispered, "It will take about five days."

Others also nodded in agreement.

This surprised Tao Jianran a little. Could it be possible to get an average of five acres of land per person, one acre in a day? !This is too powerful!But Tao Yanran didn't express his thoughts, he just said: "That's hard work for you, just ask for any help you need, and when the cotton is planted in the future, I will give you a [-]% commission."

This land is ownerless, so it is naturally considered the government's, and now it is equivalent to renting the land to them for planting.Except that the things they grow are not the same as ordinary grain, they are not much different from other tenant farmers, and [-]% of the commission is already a lot for tenant farmers!Moreover, Qiu Yu had already told them about the role of cotton. Although only [-]% of the cotton grown in this five-acre field, it should not be a problem for the family to keep warm in the coming year!

Thinking of this, the ten people were very excited. Tao Yanran sent each of them a drawing of what kind of cotton field needs to be finished. After explaining it for a while, he asked them to start working quickly.

According to the book, fertilization and moisture creation need to be completed 15 days before cotton sowing. Now it is February 23rd, and it will take the [-]rd at the earliest to sow, which is really too late.

There is also the problem of water sources, which also needs to be resolved quickly.Tao Jianran frowned, and after thinking for a while, he realized that Qiu Yu and the others were also standing beside him stupidly, and hurriedly said: "If you have something to do, you should leave first."

Qiu Yu nodded to the three subordinates, and the three left one after another. Now Chun Geng has many matters to be presided over by them. He had already wasted half a day to meet Tao Jianran yesterday, so he dared not delay any longer.

Seeing that Qiu Yu stayed, Tao Jianran also felt that it was appropriate. He was new here and still had a lot of questions to ask, and he could take this opportunity to win over this talent.

"Lord Qiu, I don't know how well the method of retting in Yizhou has been promoted?"

When Wang Junhao came to Yizhou, he brought a lot of brochures, including tutorials on composting and drawings of waterwheels.Wang Junhao has been in Yizhou for nearly a year now, and he wonders if there is any fertilizer left over for the cotton field after the spring plowing.

Qiu Yu thought that Tao Jianran was examining his achievements, and quickly replied: "It has been promoted in all villages, and the latest villages can use manure during spring plowing."

Yizhou's fertilization conditions are unique, because the people of Yizhou can raise sheep!Having livestock means having a lot of manure, which can be used for composting!Different from other places, the daily excrement of the whole family and the fertilizer retting are barely enough. If Yizhou lacks fertilizer, it will really be Qiu Yu's fault.

Tao Yanran asked ten farmers about the fertilization situation in their homes. After learning that there was no need to worry about fertilizers, he began to think about water sources.

Yizhou has a dry climate, and there is a Yishui River in the territory, with a water flow of less than [-] and few tributaries.When the Yizhou government is in the slack season, it will organize to dig new river channels.However, since the government could not pay much wages and the population of Yizhou was not large, the effect was minimal.

Yizhou Prefecture is adjacent to the main road of Yishui River, and there are the most fertile farmland in Yizhou on both sides of the main road.But this cotton field is more than ten miles away from the main road of the Yishui River, and five miles away from the largest artificial tributary of the Yishui River, the Xiaoyi River. Obviously, there is not enough time to dig a new river channel. At this time, it is not very useful.

Tao Jianran thought to no avail, and just wanted to look around for inspiration, when suddenly a young servant who followed him to Yizhou ran over: "Master, the housekeeper asked the young one to bring you a message, the craftsmen have arrived at the manor inside!"

Hearing this, Tao Jianran's eyes lit up.As the saying goes, three cobblers are the best Zhuge Liang. These craftsmen made so many weird things for him when he was in Ning'an, maybe he can get some inspiration from them!

Tao Jianran hurriedly bid farewell to Qiu Yu and ran to the mansion.

There are 50 craftsmen who came this time, including ten carpenters, ten cement craftsmen, as well as brick-burning, porcelain-burning, glass-burning and iron-making, etc., covering almost the entire craftsman class.Their family members stayed in the capital, and after a year, they returned to the capital with Tao Jianran, and they wanted to settle in the capital, which was equivalent to setting up a small research and development base for Tao Jianran.

Although Jiedushi's mansion was not exquisite, it still occupied a large area. Fifty craftsmen lived in it. Tao Jianran directly allocated half of the mansion area to them and asked them to transform it into the workshops they needed.

But before that, Tao Jianran couldn't wait to raise the issue of the water source after cleaning up the dust for everyone.

"The villain has seen people use bamboo to split the two halves and connect the end to the end to attract mountain spring water. It's just..." A carpenter shook his head after finishing speaking.There is no bamboo in Yizhou, and there are not many trees. In the future, their carpenters will have to work, and it will take a long time to find raw materials. Where can they get bamboo.

"Small people think that Yizhou is flat, how about making a big wooden barrel and transporting water with an ox cart?" A carpenter said again.

Tao Jianran was noncommittal about this plan.Yizhou is very poor, and there are not many cattle.And if the wooden barrel is too small, what is the difference between the time wasted on the way back and forth, and the time spent carrying water by hand?If the barrel is too big, I am afraid that the cow will not be able to bear the weight.

The craftsmen also expressed their opinions, but the proposals they put forward were either too expensive or took too long, and there was still no way to make Tao Jianran's eyes shine.

Seeing that it was getting late, Tao Jianran was about to let everyone go to rest first, when a cementer suddenly said, "How about using cement if there is no bamboo?"

"But people use bamboo to attract mountain springs, and the terrain needs to be matched to attract water." The carpenter who mentioned bamboo before replied.

"You can use a water truck." The cement maker replied, "Use cement to make a half-open pipe, and then use a water truck to stir up the water flow, so that the pipe can be led from the height to the farmland."

This group of craftsmen did not come empty-handed this time. The cement produced by Ning'an brought two big trucks, which was more than enough to make a five-mile-long pipeline.

Tao Jianran looked at the craftsman who proposed the cement with burning eyes: "Okay! I'll let you take charge of it at this time. It doesn't need to be too elaborate. If it lasts for a year or two, then the river will definitely be dug. If you can do this well Well, there are many rewards!"
