More and more people flock to the township, and the simple dwellings made of wood or thatch are crowded with people.

There was a bonfire outside, and there were Pei County volunteers patrolling to prevent fires, and the people from each township pavilion gathered together according to their familiarity.

It will take a few more days for the official start of construction, and the reeds who came from Shangqiu to Sisang have also arrived here, holding a wheat cake in their hands and gnawing there.

The eldest son of a certain family, who had been a little nagging before leaving, also took out a piece of bean cake and roasted it on charcoal, giving off the unique aroma of beans that is difficult to refuse.

They were all from the same township, and they soon became acquainted, and after hearing the name of the reed, the man who was baking the bean cake also heard the name.

He was not shy at home, but now he saw that many people were finally much shy, and he didn't know how to express kindness, so he broke off a piece of the roasted fragrant bean cake and handed it to the reed, saying, "My name is Pu, and I have heard your name in the village pavilion." ”

It has been a long time since Wei migrated here from Shangqiu, and Peidi's accent has a strong ancient flavor of Xu Yi, but it is still somewhat similar to the Song dialect.

took the bean cake that was shown to him, returned a small pinch of salt, and said with a smile: "When I was in Shangqiu Village, those who heard the name were all teenagers in the township who were not afraid of death. ”

Pu also smiled: "How can there be such an evil boy in Pei County now, all of them are either among the righteous teachers, or they are much more honest after being beaten by the ink man." Nowadays, those who can have some reputation among the country pavilions are either open fields and vast, or they are brave and brave. In the past, I was afraid that even if I had the kind of thing that made me famous by fighting with others, it would be difficult to become famous. ”

His words drew a burst of laughter, and one of the people sitting around the campfire laughed: "How can a private fight not become famous? was caught by Cheng Zi, not to mention that he would have to confiscate a lot of money and do labor, and he would also take him to the township pavilions for parade......"

Pu and Wei and the others laughed together, this is a new atmosphere in Pei County in the past year or two, which is different from before, and these people who have experienced it before and now have a lot of common language.

Because of the hard work of opening the fields and the ability to open up many fields and crops in Shangqiu, the reeds have often been mentioned in the township pavilions in the past two years.

Now that the hard-working people have become famous figures, and those evil young men in the countryside have become a laughing stock: on fighting, being beaten by the swordsmen of the Kyushu Ruishi in the ink man, and having to parade according to the general covenant of all the people in Pei County, it is no longer the time for young people to think that this person is heroic.

The reversal of the atmosphere cannot be completed in a day or two, but the overcorrection must be overdone, relying on the violence mastered by the Mo, the violent force has reversed the atmosphere in Peixian, and fostered the "values" orientation that the Moji believes is correct.

As for whether it is absolutely correct or not, it doesn't matter, there is no such thing as being absolutely right.

Pu had heard of Wei's reputation, and knew that Lu Hua, who had gone deep into the village community, wore an inky witch costume, and occasionally passed by the village community to help treat some diseases, was his sister, so he felt closer, and after a little talk, he became acquainted with a few people.

seized the opportunity to ask some questions about opening the fields and crops, and Wei answered with some truths he heard from Shi back then.

Nowadays, many ink writers who go deep into the village community in the village pavilion have learned the grain from Shi, and Shi has been in Shangqiu Village for the longest time, and Wei can be regarded as being taught by him.

The people around the campfire listened to the rise, which was their concern, and they all gathered around, and after a while, even the people around the campfire next to them were also attracted to come.

A group of people talked hotly, and walked over slowly, and suddenly a few familiar people got up and said hello.

The two swordsmen who followed Shi released from the hilt of the sword, this is Pei County, and the people who came here can only gather here with a paper household registration certificate, and there is no danger.

I have been in the village community for a long time, and although I have been busy fighting with the few "sons" I can't see this year, after all, I have long been used to talking to these people, which is extremely natural.

"Squeeze over there, it's a little cold this day, I'm a little closer to the fire, I can't compare to you thick and strong, I'm terrible cold."

The people next to the fire smiled and gave way to a place, the last time when the Chu envoy came, he had already seen Pu when he was eating, he still had a good memory, the names of these people would be written down when they saw it, and sometimes they would be recorded on the paper they carried with them if they couldn't remember it, and it would be kind to call them by name when they met in the future.

I greeted a few people who had met him, and those who couldn't remember their names for a while said hello at the end, but they didn't know if there were too many people to greet them one by one.

The Moshi have organized the defense of the city, organized the sacrifice of more than 10,000 people, and also organized the political affairs of a county, so the organizational ability is not low, and the people gathered here are well arranged.

Several iron ore mines have been selected, not far south of the Sisang, and they are semi-open-pit mines that are easy to mine.

So far, no coal or iron has been mined in Pei County, and many mines are exposed, far from what it was 2,000 years later.

A total of about 4,000 Qingzhuang came from the six townships, which means that there are about 20,000 households in the six townships that have joined the grassroots system of Mozhi, and there are nearly 80,000 or 90,000 people.

The number of these households may not be as large as the number of people in a city of Taoyi, let alone a large city in the world such as Linzi Luoyi, but the effective rule of the Mozhi deep into the village community can allow these places to burst out with the maximum mobilization force that a large city can have.

This kind of mobilization limit is also directly related to the Xuanyi Department led by Shi, a few years later, in the battle between Zheng and Chu, there were 40,000 Zheng people who fled without letting go of a single arrow, because those Zheng people opposed the war with Chu and didn't know why they were fighting, so they didn't care about this kind of inheritance war between nobles, and they ran away.

In Pei County, at least this is not possible.

What begins the day after tomorrow is not a war, but it is also necessary to make clear the stakes involved.

The work of the first conscription is extremely important, and if it is not done well in these three months, the rest of the work will only become more difficult.

Building roads, mining, building furnaces, ramming foundations, preparing clay, and so on all need to be completed within three months, and the task is extremely arduous.

Three months is also a peak time that can be maintained by enthusiasm, beyond which it is a little too long, and some dissatisfaction will grow.

Fortunately, Shi had really seen iron farming tools, and he also knew the history of some iron farming tools after they were used on a large scale, so he could use everything he saw to say what the people sitting around him liked to hear.

Whether a person can propagate or not depends not on how much truth he understands, but on whether he can know what kind of words those propaganda targets want to hear. If you tell the farmer at this time something like heaven and love and righteousness, the effect will be greatly reduced.

It's not an empty pie, he really knows; Even if this is a big pie, it doesn't take too long to realize.

Therefore, when Shi had just talked about the beautiful scenery after the popularization of iron tools, more than 100 people had gathered around the fire, squeezing forward vigorously, wanting to listen to Shi Shi continue to speak.

They know what farmers want, what they fear, what they expect, and how long their patience and passion last.

Therefore, in the blueprint he depicted, there are no stories of more than 100 years, nor dreams of 10 years later, but at most there are clear things with a deadline of three or five years.

There were more and more people around the campfire, but the surroundings were getting quieter and quieter, only the sound of the sound and the sound of the campfire were surprisingly strange.

When he said that within three years, every family in Pei County would have one or two iron farm tools, a burst of cheers broke out from the campfire.

Pu shouted loudly, knowing in his heart that with the situation in his own home, as long as the iron tools appeared, he would be able to buy some in his own home in less than a year.

Thinking of this, and then thinking about the appropriate farm tools, I can't help but think of many extremely beautiful things.

For example, the hoe used for weeding that Wei told him before, it is best to use iron, not to mention light, but also sharp enough.

As long as you have strength, you can make more than a dozen acres of bean seedlings without a single weed. If there is no weed, I am afraid that I will have to produce a lot of food, maybe I can really use soybean cakes to feed cattle and horses in the future.

Another example is the iron hoe used to reclaim the land that I heard before, which is actually similar to the stone hoe used today, but it is thinner, sharper and lighter, and there is no need to worry about breaking when it hits the stone, and there is no need to worry about losing the strength of the arm after hoeing for a while.

If you have an iron hoe, you can reclaim the wasteland that you fancy in the wilderness. I'm not afraid that I don't have the strength, but I'm afraid that the harvest after the strength is used will not belong to me.

An iron hoe can reclaim one acre of land a day, wasteland is everywhere, and after three or five years of busyness, the land at home will be overturned. After repaying the money for cattle and horses, he was separated from the army and bought cattle and horses by himself, and life will only get better and better.

Even if it is not separated from the army, the iron ploughshare needs to be pulled by oxen and horses to reclaim wasteland. When the time comes, discuss with the people in the army, it's a big deal to reclaim together, so that it will be easier to build some small ridge dikes, and there will be more reclamation.

Thinking of this, Pu felt that he was full of strength.

It's all for myself. For more land, for a better life, this is a very simple reason, and it is also a reason that is in line with the Mo's use of the Mo to gather people, and it is enough to make the farmer give many reasons.

As for talking about wars between nobles, the peasants really had no interest. Either they were fugitive serfs, or even if they were drafted into the war, they had nothing to gain, but they had to waste their fields, but the fixed rent could not be waived, and it was they who starved to death.

At this moment, after nearly two years of propaganda by the Mo people, the only reason for a simple and simple farmer like Pu to fight is to protect their public will and their lives.

Mining is not as serious as fighting a war, but it is more important to have vital interests at stake.

Pu thought that he could persist for the dreams he thought of for a lifetime, even if he could get iron out in five years, he would definitely be able to persevere.

However, Shi believes that these beautiful things depicted today can only last for three months to half a year.

Those who think they can hold out for five or ten years at this time may have, but not many, so they need more and different incentives, not just a good life in the future.
