Winter and early spring are a delicate time of year, and there is still frost in the countryside, but under this permafrost, life is being nurtured, just waiting to erupt.

The north and south are separated by just a big river, but in this season of winter and spring, it presents a diametrically opposite style.

Last year, especially at the end of the year, Xuzhou did have some turmoil due to the transfer of power, but soon a new order was established. The abolition of the county army, the abolition of military service, the establishment of military administrations, the establishment of civilian households, the division of land and reclamation, and many other affairs were carried out in an orderly manner.

Although the frost and cold in early spring have not yet been removed, the first batch of naturalized households around Guangling have received various farming materials such as farm tools, grain seeds, and mulberry seedlings, and under the organization of the Governor's Office, the reclamation has officially begun.

For the people of Xuzhou, especially around Guangling, this is a symbolic symbol, but most people are not aware of it, but it does not detract from their inner joy.

Although Shen Zhezi has been entangled in various things recently, on the day of the official ploughing, he still took half a day to attend in person to preside over a ceremony.

In the early hours of the morning, a barren field in the south of Guangling City was surrounded by military officers and soldiers, and they set fire to the dry and messy grass growing on the barren field. When the dawn was approaching, the villagers in the surrounding suburbs were also recruited to the surrounding areas.

At this time, a large team in Guangling City also set off from the city. Liang Gong Shen Weizhou sat on the Siwang car of the double ox and the emperor, there were elite guards in the front and back, left and right, followed by a royal gift Yu Bao advocated, and then in the rear were a group of officials of the Governor's Mansion and representatives of the villagers around Guangling City.

In the second half of the procession, there are more than 200 fat ploughing cattle, and these ploughing cattle are tied with bright and eye-catching colorful silks on their horns and backs. Behind the ploughing procession, there are nearly 100 carts, on which are stacked all kinds of farm tools, shovels with obvious quenching marks, neatly stacked Shen Lang plows, and so on.

On both sides of the road where the team was marching, there were onlookers and onlookers, and they continued to burst into violent cheers, I don't know if it was because of the admiration for Liang Gong or the excitement and joy that could not be suppressed when they saw the huge ploughing cattle team.

Soon, the team reached the fenced barren field, where the fire had long since been extinguished, leaving behind a trail of ashes and smoke from the ground.

After Shen Zhezi arrived, the village sages who served as ceremonial officials walked to the front of the car and bowed down to invite, and then he got off the car and climbed to the high platform with the help of the left and right, and then a series of suburban sacrifice ceremonies.

This whole set of rituals is really lengthy, not only the villagers yawned when they saw it, but even Shen Zhezi began to get impatient, it was the princes' suburban sacrifice and agricultural ceremony that Xie Shang and others said were restored from the ancient rituals of the Zhou system. Since he wants to pursue a sense of symbolism and ritual, Shen Zhezi can only be patient from beginning to end.

By the time the whole set of ceremonies is over, it will already be three poles of the sun. Shen Zhezi also had to sigh what it means to be polite and not subordinate to people, if ordinary farmers often come to such a set, can they persuade farmers not to say, starvation and exhaustion are participating. It's not that I'm so idle, I really can't make up such a set of cumbersome rituals, and it's just a simple ceremony for the princes.

The next step was the distribution of cattle and farm tools, and this time there were more than 20 tunyi reclamation around Guangling at the same time, and the total amount of cultivated land reached more than 2,000 hectares. Seeing this picture, the people's emotions were finally detonated again, and the cheers and praises came one after another, which lasted for a long time in this vast countryside.

After the distribution of various agricultural materials, it is time to plough the hands-on. Shen Zhezi changed out of the dress full of various rings and coats of arms, and then put on a light costume and walked slowly to the ridges.

At this time, some farmers had already put the plough behind the oxen and put the handle of the plough in the hands of Shen Dadudu, and then the cheers of the villagers who watched the ceremony were endless.

In such an environment, Shen Zhezi couldn't help but be a little unconsciously arrogant in his heart, picked up the plow handle and made a very firm gesture, and then the plough moved in front of him, but the plow blade was not deeply rooted in the soil, and he slipped on the surface of the soil, and even took Shen Zhezi and almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, there were guards on the side who were quick to see and hurriedly stepped forward to support Shen Dadudu, and the farmer who was in charge of the cattle was also busy pulling the ploughing ox, and a layer of fine cold sweat appeared on his forehead. As for the surrounding onlookers, when they saw this scene, they erupted in a series of good-natured laughter.

After Shen Zhezi stood firm, he patted off the grass and wood dust on the hem of his clothes, handed the farmer a reassuring look, and motioned to continue. Then the ploughing ox finally walked slowly towards the field, and Shen Zhezi ploughed behind, his movements were full of jerky and clumsy, and the soil ditch that he ploughed out was also crooked.

The onlookers laughed even more, in their opinion, this Shen Dadu Governor was really not good at farming, and if any of them were present, they could hold the already light Shen Lang plow with one hand.

However, this did not affect the prestige of Shen Dadudu, but the jerky clumsiness of the effort made the image of this Dadu Governor three-dimensional and amiable in their minds. It turns out that this world-renowned metropolitan governor is not unattainable, and he also has things that he is not good at.

The laughter of the villagers wiped out the sense of ritual that had been painstakingly created, and the officials of the Governor's Mansion really didn't see the Governor so laughed at again, and they were busy trying to stop the preparation to replace the Governor.

However, at this time, Shen Zhezi became stubborn, in fact, he already regretted in his heart that he had taken the humiliation of himself, but he finally found a little feeling, if he gave up now, there was really no chance to wash away the shame.

So he worked hard to plough the plough back and forth, and when he returned, the ditch had gradually become straight, and the laughter of the villagers gradually turned into applause, and some people even howled for Shen Dadu to plough again.

But a back and forth has exhausted Shen Zhezi's strength, his arms are even more sour, in the face of the enthusiasm of the villagers, he can only thank Busen, Huan Shi waved his hand and walked back to the high platform, and smiled at the villagers who hurriedly walked up: "Ordinary farming, there is also no lack of skills hidden, unfamiliar and hard, and half the result." You are all the head of the township, and you should also remember this section well, manage the cultivation to a certain extent, and do not hurt the agricultural capital. ”

After everyone heard this, they hurriedly surrendered their promises, and then returned Shen Dadu to the first place, and then the hundred cattle went to the field and officially began to cultivate. There is also a small part of the competition, the farmers each divide the same area of cultivated land, who can complete it quickly and well, their own ploughing cattle, farm tools and other rewards, the villagers present are judged.

There were many villagers present who were worried that Governor Shen would not be relieved because he had been laughed at by the masses before, so he tried his best to lead the topic to what the Governor was good at, and asked the Governor to write the last poem to persuade farmers.

Seeing that everyone was eager to ask for advice, he also felt a little embarrassed for a while, in order not to destroy this kind of thing, he reluctantly did it, let people take paper and pen, and waved the pen in an instant.

"Plant a grain of millet in the spring, and harvest 10,000 seeds in the autumn. Sang Ma Lian Qianmo, ten thousand households step on the cardinal. There is no idle field in the four seas, and men plough and women weave. Four times into a fixed order, Kyushu with the prosperous age. ”

Someone present picked up Shen Dadudu's reluctant Mobao and read it, and then the atmosphere on the high platform was silent, because this poem was really too mediocre, and it was still a little out of rhyme, and no one could say with a conscience that it was a masterpiece.

However, the sound of this recitation reached the ears of the people, but it quickly caused a preach, even the illiterate Han Ding, there was no pressure to understand this poem, the recitation gradually spread, and finally it was connected, so that the atmosphere in the whole area became warm again, and the embarrassment on the high platform was quickly washed away.

However, in this warm and joyful atmosphere, when Shen Zhezi was about to board the car and leave, a trace of disharmony erupted.

Outside Shen Zhezi's ceremonial team, more than a dozen people suddenly rushed out, and the leader was Xi Jian's second son, Xi Tan. Xi Tan rushed all the way to Shen Zhezi's car, grabbed the reins, and glared at Shen Zhezi who was waiting to get into the car with bloodshot eyes.

Shen Zhezi raised his hand to stop the guards who were about to rush forward to take action, and then asked people to invite Xi Tan to the front, before he could speak, Xi Tan had already shouted loudly: "The situation in Jiangdong is turbulent and dark, the minister is dying, and the people are in misery!" Liang Gong is affected by the country, when no one in the world can come out of the right, when this society is swinging, he does not want to lead the people to return to the country to support the situation, but he wants to pamper the small people here, this is not the posture of the pillar ministers of the society! ”

There was no shortage of people around who stepped forward, and when they heard Xi Tan's roar, they were all awe-inspiring for a while, and the surroundings were silent for a while.

"Xi Lang mourns his father's funeral, and his words and deeds are biased towards etiquette, I can understand this, and I will not blame you for this."

Shen Zhezi heard Xi Tan's roar, so he walked in front of him with his hands behind his back, and his face became serious: "However, when it comes to attracting the people to return to the country, how can Er Cao be able to make a decision?" There is no difference between the thickness and shallowness of the country, and since it is ordered by the king, there is no importance in the use of grace! I have been subjected to edicts for a long time, supervising the people of the kings of Jiangbei, fubing the border and conquering the distance, crusading against the rebellion, and there is no shortage of gains, and I am worthy of admiration! ”

"The current situation in Jiangdong has indeed been unquiet recently, even if the Taiwan assistant can't be used, there is an edict from the king of Mingtang to make up for me. The importance of state affairs, its own rules and regulations, tens of thousands of people in Jiangbei, with internal and external, in the south and in the north, have their own royal orders, how can they be driven by human affection! ”

When Xi Tan heard Shen Zhezi's resolute statement, his face turned pale for a while, and then he choked up and said: "State affairs do not tolerate human favors, could it be that Liang Gong has tens of millions of kings' lives in vain, and sits on the river to watch the Jiangdong society shake and the people suffer?" ”

Shen Zhezi was not in a hurry to answer after hearing this, but boarded the car and drove up to look at the people present, and said in a condensed voice: "The secret of military affairs should not be announced to the public. But I also know that Jiangdong Bandang has been involved in the north of the river, I am subject to the king's order, how can I look sideways from a distance, the 100,000 strong armor of the Jiangbei tribes are ready to go, just wait for the king to cross the river, and immediately wave the army into the arch! ”

"Before that, whoever says that I am in danger of human affection will be guilty of sin! At the same time, he told the people of Jiangdong Shishu that they should not do anything because of their private schemes, even if the administrative bias of the Taiwan Cabinet hurts the feelings of the people, it is advisable to go to Mingtang to complain about their grievances, otherwise after the edict is sent across the river, all those who are armed and fight privately will be tried! ”(https:)
