To Rule in a Turbulent World

"How can you talk to a little daughter-in-law?"

"That's right, this is a young couple."

Someone laughed and cursed: "Who allowed you to call 'you' ah 'you', there is no rule, and the young master stopped calling. Miaozi, go back and discipline him properly."

Li Zhifeng's face was a little red, standing in the snow, looking at You Miao with a smile, You Miao said: "Hey, he never knows how to speak, he treats me well, I just know it, don't bully him, let's go, If you have time, come to the villa for a walk."

"Naturally." The cousins ​​bid farewell to You Miao, and someone said, "Since they are relatives, there is no reason why you dislike my brothers."

"Who hates who?" You Miao was overjoyed, got into the carriage, waved goodbye to everyone, and left Yangzhou City.

The clansman treated him very well. His father said that the world is hot and cold, and human feelings are hot and cold. You Miao could hear cocoons in his ears. At first, You Miao thought these words were right, but when he grew up, he gradually felt that what You Dechuan said was wrong. up.Cousins, cousins, uncles and uncles are all reasonable people, so it's okay for each family to live well.Come to get together, one is not to fight the autumn wind, and the other is not to trouble others, do business, there are people who come and go, everyone makes some money, why not do it?

Like You Dechuan, he did too many romantic things when he was young, and spent money like water, and was looked down upon by his family members.

The wind is whistling outside, this is the coldest time of the year, although it is snowing lightly, the weather is still good compared to the capital city, I don't know what the heavy snow in the capital city is like at this time.You Miao huddled in Li Zhifeng's arms, wishing he could rub his whole body softly with him, while Li Zhifeng opened his woolen jacket, wrapped him around him, held You Miao with his fingers, and whispered, "Sleepy?"

"No." You Miao didn't even bother to raise her eyelids, and said, "Hold tighter."

Li Zhifeng put his arms around him, kissed You Miao's eyebrows and eyes lightly.

You Miao felt very warm and comfortable, and asked again: "What fun did you buy me?"

Li Zhifeng whispered in his ear, "You will know when you get back."

It was midnight when we returned to Shen Garden, and the soldiers were still drinking, guessing, and joking for fun. The huge garden was full of red lanterns, and life was noisy.

Li Zhifeng opened the paper bag outside the gate and showed it. Inside was a bunch of firecrackers. You Miao exclaimed and immediately went to find the bamboo pole. Li Zhifeng smiled and said, "Not busy, there is this."

Li Zhifeng took out a tiger-head hat from his pocket, turned it over in his hand, and put it on for You Miao, who immediately shouted: "Let go of the cannon!"

The soldiers came over one after another. You Miao grabbed the bamboo pole and set off a ten-foot-long firecracker. Li Zhifeng went to light the introduction, and the sound of the firecracker was earth-shattering, resounding through the sky.

On the first day of the lunar new year, when the door was opened, a thick blanket of firecracker shavings was spread at the door, and the sergeants still went about their own way, and You Miao didn't care about them, letting others play around.Many people crossed the river and went to the Jiangbei Mountains to hunt. In the morning, they hunted a lot of pheasants and hares and came back.

At the beginning of the new year, all four tenants came to the Shen Garden to pay New Year's greetings, and You Miao rewarded him with a seal. From that day on, the young tenant Zhang Er often came to the study to study, so a charcoal stove was set up in the study, and You Miao and Zhang The two hold a book, You Miao reads "Book of Shennong", Zhang Er reads "Book of Rites", Li Zhifeng reads Sun Tzu's Art of War with great interest, the study is warm and comfortable with light snow falling outside.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the soldiers of the Yangzhou Army finally had enough fun. They each carried their tools to open the canal. Like a spider web, it spread to the entire Jiangbo Villa, criss-crossing, and finally merged into the pond in the south, filled the pond, and flowed to Anlu Village.

You Miao circled a few plots of land on the map, rice must be planted, and he has such a large manor, there is absolutely no reason to go out to buy rice and noodles.There are [-] fertile fields in Jiangbo Mountain Villa, [-] mu in the south of the Yangtze River, and [-] mu of rice in the east.

It can harvest 300 million catties of rice a year - [-] shi.

In the land of the south of the Yangtze River, one stone of rice is one tael of silver, that is to say, 5000 taels of silver are produced every year!Seventy-two thousand five thousand silver per mu!

You Miao's eyes straightened immediately, he almost couldn't even hold the abacus steadily, his fingers couldn't help trembling, Li Zhifeng and Zhang Er looked at You Miao inexplicably.

"Sheep epilepsy is crazy." You Miao said, "Leave me alone."

Li Zhifeng laughed, put his arms around You Miao, and continued to read his book, while You Miao was making plans in his arms.

Of course, the 5000 taels of silver are not all his, and those old tenants You Miao have given a [-] point reduction, but if they want to recruit long-term workers or new tenants, naturally they cannot be counted in this way, at least it is a five-cent rent.

500 taels of silver, in which the donation of the entire villa land to the imperial court will be deducted. Among them, the open land is calculated at one renminbi per mu, and the fertile land is calculated at five renminbis per mu. 500 taels of silver.

As long as all these rice fields are contracted out, I will definitely not starve to death, and I will earn a net profit of 8000 taels a year.You Miao had always heard how difficult it is to grow Jiangbo Mountain Villa—it is indeed difficult to grow, there is no water, no fertilizer, and no one to plow.Rice can’t be planted, and the lake has dried up. If we need to apply water, we can only look at the face of God.

Once the waterwheel is built, there will be an endless supply of river water for irrigation. Not to mention double-cropping rice, it is not difficult to grow three crops a year, and the yield per mu has tripled in this way.You Dechuan doesn't know how to farm, so naturally he doesn't care about iron plows, double-row hoes, turning shovels and other farming mechanisms.You Miao put down the Shennongjing and said, "Zhang Er, throw me the Mojing on the shelf."

A book flew over, Li Zhifeng raised his hand to grab it, You Miao took it, and read it carefully.

These days, You Miao has a general idea of ​​several ancient planting methods.

"Gong Shu Jing" was written by the ingenious craftsman Lu Ban. It tells about some ingenious devices, such as waterwheels, bamboo tubes, mechanism kites, toys as small as bronze figures and iron figures, as large as demolition of beams and columns, and house structures. Although the technique of birth injection is good, its connection with agriculture is not strong.

"Mo Jing" was written by Mozi, the ancestor of the Mohist school. It also discusses organs, but it is divided into two categories: military chapters and peasant chapters.The article on Military Strategies focuses on flying crossbows, ditch claws, even siege ladders, throwing devices, and crossbows in mechanism houses.Farmhouse chapters are good things related to the location, including three-row plows, giant plows, seed spreaders, double-row hoes, soil-turning shovels, iron weeding tools, canal dividers, and bronze sparrow-driving figures, etc.Manufactured according to the mechanism described above, combined with the tools such as the mill, dustpan, and sieve in "Tiangong Kaiwu", a family with two cows can easily take care of hundreds of acres of land.
