Chapter 539: Spring Ploughing

The plan of the year lies in the spring.

Spring ploughing is a major event, related to the quality of life of the people in the coming year, delaying spring ploughing, the autumn harvest will inevitably be gone, this is a major event of people's livelihood, by the pastoral scenery is not careful.

In the past, this matter was not his business.

Whether it is ruling Nanyang or later marching into Luoyang, there is still his father Mushan who dominates everything, and he only needs to do what he wants.

But not right now.

If he wants to gain a foothold in Hanzhong, he must have the support of the people and must shoulder the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of people in Hanzhong.

"Lord, do you want to personally preside over spring ploughing?"

Xi Zhicai was a little surprised.

"Hmm!"

The head of the pasture is reading a book of playing, about the spring ploughing book, while reading, while saying: "After the war, it must be a great rule, now the hearts of the people everywhere are brilliant, the government and county government power alternate, the squire and landlord figure out the will, will delay the spring ploughing event, once the spring ploughing is delayed, this year's Hanzhong, will inevitably be difficult to live, the days are not good, the people will have grievances, we have just entered the land of Hanzhong, we must not let the people put their grievances on us. ”

"But this matter can be left to the Hanzhong Taishou Mansion to do!"

Xi Zhicai said: "Now the whole army, negotiate with all parties, and sit firmly in Hanzhong, it is the right way!" ”

In other words, Mu Jing is a little unprofessional.

"These things are all there is to you!"

Mu Jing said: "By the way, how is the Yellow Turban Army resting?" ”

"Just start!"

"Lend it to me!"

"You don't want to plow the fields as a general, do you?"

"Why not?"

"Isn't this a bit too much, the soldiers are fighting desperately, and they are still silent under the sorrow of the death of their comrades, at this time you lead them to plow the fields, which will make them think that you, the lord, don't pay attention to the mood of the son at all!"

"If they don't have enough to eat, they will complain!" Mu Jing shook his head: "I have made up my mind on this matter, and the rest of the major matters, you discuss with Ye Ru and Li Yan, and then I will personally know about spring ploughing, in order to be able to eat in the coming year, I will do whatever it takes!" ”

"Okay!"

Xi Zhicai saw that Mu Jing was so resolute, and he didn't say anything, and he also thought that Mu Jing was right, the sky and the earth were big, the food was the biggest, and there was enough food, with their troops, they sat firmly in Hanzhong.

On the second day, Mu Jing personally set up a farmer.

Nong Cao is one of the thirteen Caos under the command of the Minghou Mansion, but when the Minghou Mansion was established in Nanyang, it only built a shelf and did not play a role, and now Mu Jing himself has established it, which shows that he attaches great importance to agricultural affairs.

Nongcao Yamen was built next door to the Taishou Mansion in Hanzhong, in a courtyard with two entrances and exits.

What Mu Jing lacked now was manpower, so he recruited some officials in charge of agricultural affairs in the former Hanzhong Taishou Mansion and Nanzheng County: "The people on the household registration must be allowed to report to Nongcao within three days!" ”

"I'll arrange it!"

Ye Ru saw the list sent by Mu Jing, there were many people who were his Taishou Mansion, and now the Hanzhong Taishou Mansion has merged with the old officials of the Taishou Mansion in the past, although there are internal contradictions, but the personnel to deal with the matter are sufficient.

In less than two days, the leaders were Liu Ling, Tang Ming, Ye Zhi, and Gu Liangqing...... They all went to the Nongcao Yamen to report.

Mu Jing actually doesn't know much about this matter, but he thinks that he personally presides over it, which can give some people a sense of attention, as long as he can bring attention, he believes that people everywhere will take action.

Of course, he doesn't know much, you can go to learn, in the past two days he has read a lot of books on planting and spring ploughing, as well as the grain planting situation in Hanzhong over the years, since he wants to do it, he must do the best.

"I'm afraid I'm afraid I've already started farming at this time in previous years, right?"

Mu Jing knelt on the top of Nongcao Yamen, looked at a few people, and asked in a deep voice.

"Report to the prince, according to previous years, as early as the beginning of spring in February, we began to prepare, and in March, we can already plant, but this year is ......."

Tang Ming is less than thirty years old, a child of the family, the Tang family, as the leader of the Han sergeant clan, is also the Nanzheng Hao clan, which is the number one enemy of Mu Jing, but he is a son of a concubine, and he is not very important in the family, and he was also placed in a less important position before, but he did not expect to be recruited by Mu Jing.

For Mu Jing, he didn't dare to be too personal, and he didn't dare to resist too much, this is a young man who kills people without blinking, even if he is not sensitive to the news, he will not know the past of this young man.

He called Mu Jing the prince, which is the most polite title at present, and he deserves the honorific title as the marquis of Mu Jingming.

"This year, because of the war between a certain family and Zhang Lu, the spring ploughing was delayed, right?"

Mu Jing squinted, looked at a few people, and finally his eyes fell on this Tang Ming, before Tang Ming was a chief in the Nanzheng County Ya, specializing in farming, although he was a child of a family, but I heard that he had some ability.

"What do you mean, it's so-and-so's fault?" He asked playfully.

"The subordinates don't dare!"

Six or seven people bowed their heads and trembled and pleaded guilty.

"Get up!"

Mu Jing looked at it, and suddenly became a little bored, he waved his hand, and said: "Let's continue to return to the matter of spring ploughing, although the time is a little urgent, but if we don't do it, I am afraid that the people of Hanzhong will starve to death countless times this year, so no matter whether it is late or not, this thing must be done!" ”

"Junhou, in fact, it's not too late!" Liu Ling said: "As long as we can plant it in time and complete the spring ploughing before the end of the spring rains, then there is still hope for a bumper harvest in the autumn harvest!" ”

This Liuling is actually also a disciple of the Wudoumi Sect, and he is also a scribe in the Taishou Mansion in Hanzhong, and Mu Jing took a fancy to him because he once personally led the hundred miles of barren land reclaimed by Nanzheng.

This is a humble scholar, but he is not a dead book, he has the power to practice, and he has no background but is capable, which is worth using.

And he wasn't wrong.

Spring ploughing is actually from the beginning of spring, has been ready to start, but the climate and weather everywhere are very surprised, the time is not the same, in Hanzhong, basically after entering March, ready for spring ploughing.

It is only now that preparations have begun, and in terms of time, it can be regarded as normal, but now the hearts of people everywhere are bright, the people are worried, and the officials have no intention, and if they want to complete the spring ploughing in March, it will be a little difficult.

"Bongin!"

Mu Jing called out the word Liuling, and then said, "Do you have an idea?" “

"Junhou, in fact, if you want to complete spring ploughing, it is not difficult to say, it is nothing more than to do two things!" Liu Ling said: "First, farm tools, the people are poor, there are few farm tools, not even used, which will greatly delay the time of spring ploughing!" ”

"Farm implements?"

Mu Jing stood up, paced back and forth, and after half a sound, he stopped and shouted: "Zhongheng! ”

"In!"

Huo Yu was on standby.

"If I'm not mistaken, after the Great War, a lot of discarded weapons were collected on the battlefield, right?"

"It's true!"

"You go and paste the announcement, in the name of my Minghou Mansion, go and ask the blacksmiths of the whole city to melt these discarded weapons and make every effort to build farm tools, and within five days, I want to see farm tools!"

Mu Jing said in a deep voice.

"My lord, no!" Huo Yu objected: "These discarded weapons are built back, although they have suffered a lot of damage, but they are all good weapons, and they can be used on the battlefield in the future to build farm tools, what a waste!" ”

"When to do something, no waste!" Mu Jing waved his hand, to: "This is a military order, let Huang Shao send troops to assist, if the blacksmith in the city does not allow it, forcibly recruit, you tell them, this matter, Ben Hou is unreasonable, who dares to spoil my spring ploughing, I want his life, no matter who it is!" ”

"Yes!"

Huo Yu bowed and turned to leave.

At this time, Mu Jing turned around, looked at Liu Ling, and asked, "What about the second point!" ”

Liu Ling is a little frightened by the courage of Mu Jing, in this era, casting is not suitable, to reach the level of weapons, at least ten iron swords, dare to use weapons to cast farm tools, few people will do this, Mu Jing this courage, enough to show how much he attaches importance to spring ploughing.

He took a deep breath and quickly calmed down, three points more confident than before: "The second is the seed!" ”

"Seeds?"

"Yes, seeds, rice needs grain seeds, wheat needs wheat seeds, these things people may have in previous years, but last year they may not be able to keep!"

"Why?"

"The prince may not know that in order to prepare military rations, Zhang Lu ordered that all households collect grain, and most of the grain in the hands of the people, including the grain left for the next year, was looted!"

"Damn it!"

Mu Jing gritted his teeth: "With my current grain, it is okay to supply our soldiers and soldiers, but if it is for grain and spring ploughing in all parts of Hanzhong, it will not be possible!" ”
