Life Winner Training Guide

If Cao Yi next to You Hongyin is a general who wants to stand out and display his ambitions, then Wang Mi is a strong man who is qualified to be called a prince.

This was You Hongyin's first impression when he met Wang Mi. To be honest, the real Youdao Mingjun would not like such a person with overly ambitious ambitions.

But Wang Mi's personality of succumbing to the strong made You Hongyin not stingy with using this double-edged sword.

The process of confronting this lowly Luoyang ranger was not easy, but for Wang Mi, he could not refuse the conditions offered by You Hongyin.

A man cannot be powerless for a day. It is everyone's ideal to serve the people and the world, but it may not be the main purpose of realizing one's own ambition to gain power.

Therefore, there is only one way for people from poor families to break the monopoly of power by the gentry!

That is to fight for the world.

Or it is attached to the Ming Lord who fights for the world.

Compared with the tacit understanding with other subordinates, when You Hongyin persuaded Wang Mi, it can be regarded as tearing off the veil, and clearly set the goal.

Since then, the "Ship Overturning Project" with Liu Bogen as the mainstay and Wang Mi as the assistant has been quietly launched, waiting for the most suitable time to launch.

From winter to spring, the people of Gaomi County have just experienced corvee, and then they ushered in spring plowing.

Now after two years of implementation of the decree, everyone has long been used to farming step by step, and the refugees have also reclaimed their own fields. Although the tax is a bit heavier, they can definitely support the whole family.

After the spring plowing, it is the daily maintenance of the farmer in the field. Under careful care, summer is coming, but the experienced farmers are starting to worry.

In the ordinary village, some people gathered under the shade of trees, and one of the old men was frowning, worried about something.

"Stupid old man, you can't get your butt pierced by sitting on a stick, why are you moaning and sighing?" Someone asked beside him.

The 杌扎子 is a bench. In the past two years, many high tables and high stools have become popular in Gaomi. Ordinary people don’t pay much attention to it. These convenient and comfortable furniture are more popular than the original desks. They will soon be used by every household. up.In addition, the prefect of Gaomi is now the reborn parent in the minds of all the people, and the slightest disturbance can provoke the people below to follow suit.

"It's been four or five months since the beginning of spring this year, but it has only rained three times. I'm afraid it's really going to be a severe drought as the prefect said." The old man said.

"It's okay, we have built a white canal, with reservoirs and wells, and we can always get through it." Someone said immediately.

Immediately, many people agreed that the construction of the reservoir in winter cannot be without public grievances. You must know that the hardest corvee in the world is the river worker. Even with all kinds of magical tools to help, the people involved in the labor have suffered a lot.

But everyone is not passive and idle, why?The prefect's words never fail, and this kind of credit has long been recognized by many people.

So old man Yu's exclamation was just a fact that everyone had already prepared in their hearts, and it couldn't cause panic.

The old man despises them: "Do you think we are the ones I am worried about? The drought in the world is definitely not our family. I heard from my daughter who married into Chengyang that the prefect informed the other officials, but they all took the sheriff I don’t know that gods like the sheriff never fail to speak. Except for our Gaomi, which is prepared for disasters, no other place has it. What will happen if there is no food in the ground? It’s not that we didn’t starve to death in the past. In the past two years, everyone has had enough food and clothing." The old man sighed and continued: "I am worried that people will starve to death in other places except our Gaomi. If we can't survive, we will become refugees. But we are just a No matter how powerful the prefect is in the small Gaomi County, how many refugees can he take in?"

"If there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, it's because we don't understand your old man's worries." Others echoed and gradually became worried.If there is one thing that the people are most worried about, it is that God does not reward them with food. They have a god to bless them, but what about the others?

Then everyone began to pray secretly that the drought would come later.

However, the drought obviously does not only occur in Qingzhou, and it can even be said that Qingzhou is relatively mild. After all, there are sea breezes blowing by the sea, and occasionally it can bring rain.

In other places, since last winter, there has not been a single rain!

The most serious disaster is Bingzhou.

Not only Bingzhou, but also Hu nationality grassland.

These two water resources are not as good as other regions. Most of the water in the region comes from rainfall. Now that the rain does not fall, this season's harvest is likely to be wiped out.

Bingzhou Qi County.

The whole family of a farm family was dispatched to water the fields.Seeing that the rice in the field is beginning to bear ears, even if everyone does not want to drink it, they must harvest it from the farmer in the field, otherwise the whole family will starve to death next year.

So the men came back from carrying water from the mountains several miles away, and the women carried their children to work in the fields. Many people even broke their legs trying to carry water. At this time, they lost one labor and suffered another Injuries, people with broken legs are afraid that they can only wait to die.

The wells are dry, and the little water that seeps out every day can only be said to be a drop in the bucket, let alone water the farmland.However, although the water in the mountains and rivers was fine for the time being, it couldn't stand everyone's use together, and finally a fight started, and the people in the two villages were beaten to death just to grab the water.

The painful days are still tormented, and everyone thinks that it will be all right in the harvest season.

On the grassland not far from Bingzhou, the Qiang tribe is also gloomy.

The weather was severe drought, the water source on the grassland was exhausted, the pasture grass died and decreased, and the herdsmen who raised many cattle, sheep and horses also suffered a complete disaster.

Try to find grass, but if you find one, you will be robbed and driven away by the nobles.The herdsmen had to tearfully kill some of their livestock, reduce the amount of pasture to feed the remaining cattle and sheep.

But the drought continued, and their cattle and sheep couldn't hold on.

"Wow...Abba, my lamb." The children's cries are nothing more than pity for their own sheep, but when the livestock with little meat are finished eating, they will probably cry 'I'm hungry' .

Experienced herdsmen understand that if the living livestock in their homes are not well maintained, they may not be able to survive this winter.And the cattle and sheep are all eaten up, what will they use to graze in the coming year?

Probably can only starve to death.

Why are those people in the big tents eating wine and meat, grabbing the most fertile land of water and grass, and these herdsmen can only worry about their own stomachs.

However, just like those people who would rather be refugees than do other things, the herdsmen, even though they have a tough personality, are more afraid of the soldiers and warriors under the big tent.

So they put up with it.

But when the autumn harvest was about to come, another natural disaster came, completely destroying the thoughts of those who were still looking forward to harvesting the last season of grain.

Locust plague after drought.

The locust plague first started in Yuzhou, eating the crops and vegetation, and then grew stronger and spread to the surrounding areas. The locust plague also began to wreak havoc in Yizhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou.

Countless people cried bitterly and hid at home, or desperately carried the locust gods and locust queens worshiped everywhere, praying that the locusts would let go of the crops that were about to be harvested in the fields, but in the end they left nothing but red land.

Gaomi originally had no locust plagues, and winter irrigation had the effect of killing insects and pests. But the absence of Gaomi does not mean that there are no other locust plagues in Qingzhou. It is just that the locust plagues in Qingzhou are better than Bingzhou, Yizhou and other places, because at least half of Qingzhou is near the sea. On the outside, there are Mount Tai mountains as a barrier, and the locusts raging in Xuzhou, Yizhou, Bingzhou, cannot climb over the mountains for the time being.

There was no locust plague in Gaomi, but other places in Qingzhou began to have locusts, and gradually a lot of them flew to Gaomi. Of course, You Hongyin couldn't just sit back and watch a season's harvest go to waste, and it was impossible to say that it could be destroyed by offering sacrifices.

So he began to use various channels to spread all kinds of myths and stories, in fact, he wanted to break the fear of locusts among ordinary people, and then destroy the glory with his hands!

While spreading the short stories, You Hongyin also spread the various methods of destroying the glory, such as setting up bonfires at night to protect the farmland, digging insect bags to reduce insect eggs, and so on.

Of course, relying on these alone is not enough, without any benefit, it cannot completely eliminate the people's fear of locust plagues.

But now is the time when the crops are not harvested, the summer harvest has not yet begun, and the dry season will end, who doesn't want to earn more food for survival.Therefore, You Hongyin very straightforwardly worked out a plan to exchange one bucket of locusts for half a bucket of grain, and one bucket of insect eggs for two buckets of grain.And announced to the public dozens of ways to eat and use locusts and insect eggs.

It is true that superstitions such as natural disasters, mysterious unknowns, and gods do influence the will of the people, but none of these can compare to 'eating enough food'.

No one can understand the pain of hunger, it is enough to turn a person into a demon, let alone give up fear.

The two items of changing food and being edible have completely ignited the enthusiasm of the people.

Every household began to cull the locusts, and sacks of locusts began to be delivered to officials. You Hongyin even held a "whole insect banquet" in Gaomi City. Delicious food, but the prefect and other officials eat their mouths full of oil in the public.

No way, it is true that some officials are a little scared, but no one dares to resist under the high-pressure policy, but after eating it once, they have completely lost their fear and fear, and their minds are full of "the cook of the prefect's family is really good". planted.

In the early years, You Hongyin deliberately made things like woks for his own appetite, and began to cook all kinds of stir-fried dishes with various seasonings.

In fact, there is a reason why cooking has never appeared. Although ceramic pots can be barely used for cooking, iron pots are the best, and iron is very expensive at this time.Another reason is that 'oil' is very precious at this time.

Most of the dishes at this time were stewed, boiled and steamed. There was no cooking, and the oil used was animal oil. Vegetable oil was not edible and could only be used to make silk cloth and so on.But meat is considered a 'luxury' among ordinary people, let alone 'oil'.

This is why stir-frying, which consumes a lot of fuel, has never appeared so far, while stewing and steaming, which consume less fuel, are popular.

And the officials who are accustomed to eating bland steamed and boiled vegetables finally saw the background of the prefect as a "son of a family".

Even bugs can be delicious.
