Chapter 141: If the two heroes do not stand side by side, they will fight to the death (5)

On the second day of October, the weather was sunny and the sun was shining, and the rice on both sides of the Han River was ripe, exuding bursts of rice fragrance - wafting in the wind, refreshing people's hearts!

At the dawn of the Buddha, the east was white, and the people of Xiangyang City walked out of their homes one after another, including young men, old and weak women and children, all wearing coarse cloth clothes, holding pockets, ropes, and flat poles...... Converge near the city gates!

"Eat and drink enough, work hard, how much harvest can be achieved this time, it depends on everyone's skills, the diligent food and clothing are worry-free, and the lazy should drink the northwest wind!"

"One tool per person, line up, get it in order, and then lead the way by Li Zheng and the pavilion chief, go to the marked place, and no one is allowed to scramble!"

………………

Inside the four gates of Xiangyang City, a great formation was opened, and on one side was the 'fully armed' firehead army, distributing rice crackers, dried vegetables, and meat soup...... The taste is salty and greasy, and although it is not a delicacy, it is suitable for people who do heavy work, so the people devour it and eat it very sweetly.

On the other side are the children of the Mo family, handing out a newly-made sickle to the well-fed people, and there are large parts next to them, such as sawtooth, blades, levers, and shafts...... Don't know what to do?

Huaxia is an agrarian nation, as early as the primitive social period, there are shovels, rakes, hoes, knives, sickles and various tools, because the technology is relatively backward, the tools are wooden, bone, stone, the use of both laborious, and easy to break!

Bronze agricultural tools appeared in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, including adzes, axes, shovels, rakes, sickles, and ploughs...... In the Qin and Han dynasties, the iron-smelting industry began to rise, and iron farm tools gradually replaced the bulky bronze farm tools!

However, the smelting technology of the Han Dynasty was immature, the iron produced was very limited, and the princes fought for hegemony and wars were frequent, and most of the steel was made of armor and blades, and there were very few for agriculture, which could not meet the demand at all!

In desperation, the people can only retreat to the next best, using the agricultural tools of 'iron blades and wooden hearts', and working hard in the fields, and in those remote mountain villages, there are still people using bronze and wooden agricultural tools, war is higher than production, how sad it is for human beings!

The sickles issued by the children of the Mo family are all made of pure iron, and they are full of heat and have excellent blades, not to mention harvesting rice, even human heads can be cut down!

The style has also been adjusted, the sickle body is like a crescent, the straight blade has become a curved blade, the rear part has increased weight, and with the light wooden handle, it is very easy to use!

"The old man has planted the field all his life, and he has never used such a handy farm tool, who invented this, and there is a great favor to the people of Li!"

"Luozu silkworm raising, Cangji making characters, Cai Lun papermaking...... Those who can improve farm tools are by no means ordinary people, ask these Mojia students! ”

………………

Holding delicate farm tools, the people are all happy, some people frequently wipe, love like treasures, some people talk about it, inquire around, and finally learn from the mouth of the Mo family that the capable person who has improved the farm tools is the current big Sima!

Before Xiao Yat crossed, he grew up in the countryside, although he didn't know how to farm (people were too lazy and unwilling to go to the field, so they studied hard, but unfortunately they didn't succeed), but they had seen their parents work hard and knew a lot of farm tools!

In addition to improving the sickle, he also drew a lot of drawings for the children of the Mo family to make, including rakes for breaking the soil and flail for threshing...... There is also a grinding disc that rotates with water power, which is a technological revolution for the people who grow rice!

At the beginning of the people, when Wei Jiang Yan, how are the people? Ke Yu Ke Xi,

Ephesus had no children. Emperor Wu Minxin, the key to stopping, carrying the earthquake and carrying the dream.

Carry life and breeding, and the time is ............

After getting ready, under the leadership of Xiangyang Taishou-Wenpin, the people knelt on the ground, chanting "The Book of Songs-People's Livelihood", singing the praises of Houji, the ancestor of farming, and praying for a bumper harvest and a full warehouse!

Hou Ji is the son of Emperor Yu, born extraordinary, rarely ambitious, like to collect wild plant seeds, and found a set of local conditions, timely sowing methods, to teach the tribal people, so respected as the 'ancestor of farming!' ’

In addition, Hou Ji was the farmer of Di Yao, helped Dayu to control the flood, and was the ancestor of the Zhou tribe, about his historical story, the most talked about by the folk farmers!

"Grab food! --Grab the food! --Grab the food! ”

Three shouts, the city gate was opened, and hundreds of thousands of people in Xiangyang City rushed out like a flood, rushing to the rice fields on both sides of the Han River.

I saw the sickles flying, sweat splashing, and the rice falling down one by one, and then tied into a ball, neatly stacked on the ox cart, and transported back to Xiangyang City for threshing, hulling, drying, and bagging...... Finally, it turns into crystal clear rice!

Hundreds of thousands of people working together, it stands to reason that it should be very lively, adults talk and laugh, children run and jump, farmers with good voices, and sing a few labor trumpets, which is both a pastime and an encouragement!

The reality is just the opposite, in the rice fields on both sides of the Han River, there are only busy figures, but there is no sound, people bite their lips tightly, their whole bodies are tense, it is no longer harvesting rice, it is more like grabbing rice!

Even the gray-haired old men, seven or eight-year-old naughty boys, were busy in the fields, doing what they could, and some even fell tired and fainted, rested for a while and continued to grab, during which no one shouted that they were tired!

Because before leaving the city, Xiao Yi issued an order: 'The rice outside the city of Xiangyang is owned by the people of Xiangyang, although it is boldly harvested, half of it is handed over to the public and half is used for private use, if there is a forcible demand, it can be expelled with weapons, and the person who is killed is not guilty!'" ’

That is to say, the rice fields on both sides of the Han River, no matter who the landlord owns, as long as the farmers harvest it, half of it will be handed over to the military rations, and half will be owned by individuals, and they will work more and get more, without any restrictions!

If after the rice is harvested, the original landlord comes to the door to ask for it, the people don't have to be afraid, they beat him out with sticks, no matter how big the thing is, there is a ghost face Xiao Lang to call the shots for you!

Although Xiangyang City is rich, most of the people are poor, and they suffer from the scourge of war, almost without food, and now there are thousands of hectares of rice fields in front of them, so that people can cut them at will, so they are not happy to bloom, what to do?

Therefore, people are full of enthusiasm and refuse to rest for a moment, and at this rate of harvesting, it is estimated that in three or four days, ten thousand hectares of rice will be harvested!

The problem is that the common people are happy, but the scholars are about to cry, they are the landowners, and cutting the rice fields outside the city like this is equivalent to cutting their hearts, but the order is under the Great Sima, who dares to come out and oppose it?

So, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, and Kuai Tong, on behalf of the gate lords of the scholar clan in Xiangyang, secretly asked to see Xiao Yi, hoping that Da Sima would take back his life, not to damage the interests of the gate valves, or to lose less!

Of course, in the face of the ghost-faced Xiao Lang's murderous threat, they didn't dare to speak out against it, but knelt at the door of the big tent, beat their chests, howled and cried, saying that all the food was gone, and the whole family had no way to live!

Don't underestimate the performance of the three people, this is the will of the Xiangyang City Shi clan, if it is not properly handled, I am afraid it will cause a big turmoil, if you don't give others a way to live, others will also cut off your way of life!

No one knew what Xiao Yi did about it, but he summoned the three of them into the big tent and whispered for more than an hour, and when Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, and Kuaitong came out, their attitude came to a big reversal!

Not only did they stop the people from grabbing grain, but they also persuaded a group of scholars to send out their clansmen, slaves, and family members to harvest grain together, and then sacrifice all of them to the army, and don't keep a grain for themselves!

The three major families of Cai, Zhang, and Kuai are the leaders of the Jingzhou Shi clan, and they all cooperate like this, and who else dares to stab them, they all obey orders, and they also take out all the mules, horses, and vehicles in the family to help transport grain together, so the harvest speed is faster!

Someone asked afterwards, Xiao Yi smiled and didn't answer, just took out a copper coin and threw it around, the scholar clan gate valve is the most greedy, only more and greater benefits can make them cooperate obediently!

"Boom! --Boom! Boom! ”

………………

When the people were working hard to grab food, Xiao Yi led the Xuanjia Army, the trapping camp, the Danyang soldiers, and the Jingzhou soldiers...... A total of 100,000 horses formed a military formation and went to the Jiangdong camp!

The Jiangdong Army is stationed in the lower reaches of the Han River, which is a great threat to Xiangyang City, and is even more eyeing the rice fields on both sides of the strait.

The generals on the battlefield all know that if you want to win the battle, you must have at least three times the number of troops, and now that the two armies are evenly matched, the active attack side will inevitably suffer, but Xiao Yi has another plan:

First, this time the initiative to attack is not to destroy the Jiangdong Army, but to contain the Jiangdong Army, as long as three or four days, so there is no need to fight to the death, and the tactics are much more flexible and mobile!

Second, the Jiangdong Army has just changed camps, the walls and trenches have not been repaired, and the defense is when it is weak.

Therefore, Xiao Yi repeatedly calculated, he took advantage of the geographical advantages, people, and had a seven-point chance of winning this battle, as for the remaining three points, who is the will of God?
