69. The Window of Reform (I)

Sanyuan County is located in the middle of the Guanzhong Plain in Shaanxi, north of the Wei River, about 36 kilometers away from Chang'an, that is, 36,000 kilometers, the longitudinal horse galloped for three or four hours, and Suning set off not long after the sun rose in the morning, so it arrived at the fiefdom of Sanyuan County at noon.

"Xiaguan Wang Yuan led a group of subordinates in Sanyuan County to welcome Uncle Sanyuan!"

A group of guys in green robes stood there, fat and thin, of different lengths, looking particularly funny, I have to say, the aesthetics of the Tang Dynasty people are really out, wearing a green robe looks like a caterpillar, if it looks handsome, it will be counted, but it looks like this one that affects the appearance of the city...... Shaking his head, Suning got off the horse, slandering Li Erbixia's low art appreciation ability in his heart, and said with a smile on his face: "Wang Xianling has worked hard, and it is really disturbing to come here to greet Zaixia." ”

Wang Yuan is not fat, his figure is okay, his face is more ruddy, he is a shrewd person at first glance, he seems to eat well, and he can be a county magistrate at the foot of the Son of Heaven, it is not simple, he either has a way, or he has ability, Wang Yuan, he may have a way, he may be capable, and he may have both a way and ability, the only thing that is impossible is that this guy is a very ordinary person......

The small eyes and a calm smile are enough to see that this guy is not an incompetent person, of course, but also look at his political ability and achievements, if he is qualified, it is not impossible to enter the court one day, his own fief is under his rule, two thousand acres of land are also under his jurisdiction, and he also has a mansion under his jurisdiction, although he is the county lord of Sanyuan, but Sanyuan County is not his own decision, Suning's significance to Sanyuan County is that it is the owner of 2,000 acres of fiefdom and the owner of the products of 600 households.

Wang Yuan is very aware of all the information that this Sanyuan county uncle can know, since the day Suning was named the prince of Sanyuan County, he has begun to pay attention to Suning, after all, no one wants a bully to appear in the county where he works, or a bully with a title and official position, in that case, it will be difficult for him to do it, what to do with him? may be cleaned up; Complicity with him? In case it is discovered by the Yanguan, those who want to be famous and die can also rush up and eat themselves......

Wang Yuan is just the eldest son of a small family, and he is a small character who can't speak in the Guanlong aristocratic group, but he has a bit of talent, and he passed the imperial examination opened by the Tang Dynasty to take a jinshi, and through the relationship in the family, he was able to serve in Sanyuan County, and he has been conscientious for two years, and he has been conscientious, not daring to be negligent, doing things at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are advantages and disadvantages, and those crazy officials are at all costs......

When he learned that Sanyuan County was given to Suning as a fief, he began to pay attention to this Suning, the more concerned he became, the more frightened he became, at the age of fourteen, he attacked Dingxiang and captured Yang Zhengdao to be crowned a viscount, and burned Yinshan to extinguish the Turks and was able to obtain the earl, and actually sealed three hundred households, which was a relatively high food town, and many dukes were only five hundred or six hundred households! However, in less than a day, his food suddenly increased to six hundred, which made Wang Yuan puzzled, Earl? Six hundred?

That's a pretty big part of the duke's food! After asking, I learned that he offered a labor reform strategy in the court, and retired from the court to rest in the hall that the great Confucian Kong Yingda said, and then rescued Cai Guogong Du Ruhui, who had been considered dead by the doctor, Cai Guogong felt his life-saving grace, so he rewarded Suning with 300 of the 1,300 fiefdoms, and then, Li Erbixia allowed Suning to enter the Hongwen Pavilion to study......

It's only a few days since he entered Chang'an, and his worth is already one in the sky and one underground, and Wang Yuan sees it very thoroughly, this master is definitely a master who can't be offended, don't look at his young age, but he must not be despised and fooled, Wang Yuan has a hunch that this ruthless character who can burn the Turkic army of 30,000 with a fire will definitely not be a thing in the pool, now hurry up, if you don't have a head in the future, there will be no more things in the family to support his career, he can only rely on himself......

Thinking of this, Wang Yuan couldn't help but smile: "Uncle Sanyuan said that it was a joke, the county is poor, it is an honor for the whole county to be able to get a noble person like Uncle Sanyuan!" Uncle Sanyuan has been tired all the way, and the lower officials have prepared a reception banquet, although it is just some ordinary food, but also invite Uncle Sanyuan to appreciate his face. ”

Suning Haha smiled and waved his hand: "This banquet is not in a hurry, I came down to inspect the fiefdom and check the lives of the tenants, this is the first thing, Wang County Order, is the spring ploughing in Sanyuan County over?" ”

Wang Yuan was shocked in his heart, but then he smiled and said: "It's not over, the population of the Tang Dynasty is small, and these Sanyuan counties are not exempt from vulgarity, there are few people in the land, and spring plowing is slow, but the lower officials have specially instructed the fiefdom of Sanyuan Bo to handle it as soon as possible, your tenants are the first batch to start farming, and now eighty percent of the cultivation has been completed, and the rest can be finished in the next few days, you don't have to worry." ”

Suning's heart was relieved, and it was good that he hadn't finished ploughing: "Wang County's order has a heart, but it's just right, don't plant wheat for the remaining two achievements, plant this!" Suning said and took out a paper bag of rice seeds in his arms and showed off: "This is a good thing, although the number is not much, this time it is only a trial planting, but once the trial planting is successful, it is an immeasurable merit!" ”

Wang Yuan caught a word, try to plant? What kind of crop seed is this? Immeasurable merit? How can this be? So he asked, "Uncle Mihara, what is this?" Need a trial? ”

Suning smiled and said: "Wang County Order, remember, after this thing is planted, you have to send someone to take care of it day and night, and send the most experienced old farmer to take care of it, and if the trial planting is successful when the autumn harvest is due, it is not only a supreme merit, Wang County Order, with this merit, you can wait for the ascension!" ”

Sanyuan County, like Shenzhen later, is the window of Datang's reform, and has its own place, it is naturally the birthplace of all the changes in Datang.

Wang Yuan was taken aback, and then smiled all over his face: "Although the lower official doesn't understand what Uncle Mihara said, if there is really that day, the lower official will not forget the kindness of Uncle Sanyuan." ”

Suning waved his hand, took Laifu and walked inside: "Don't thank me, that's what you deserve, as long as you take good care of it, and stay until the day of the autumn harvest, you will naturally understand!" Now, please take me to the fiefdom to see it! Then find some experienced old farmers to plant these seeds, and then I have to watch them do it myself. ”

Wang Yuan agreed, and beat a small drum in his heart, I heard that this Sanyuan master is famous and has all his skills, but now what kind of medicine is being sold in the gourd? As soon as we met, I promised that I would be promoted, just for these seeds? What kind of crop are these seeds exactly? Will it be that important?

Forget it, no matter what, let's meet the requirements of Uncle Mihara first.

As soon as the order was given, there were immediately subordinates to arrange everything in the fiefdom, these things do not need to be waited for by Suning, Suning is not willing to wait, and even some people who enjoy all these things will be prepared for haode treatment, no wonder everyone wants to come to the Celestial Empire to be an official, this treatment is quite generous, all evil capitalism, is not a place for people to stay at all!

The land of Guanzhong is really a thousand miles of fertile land at present, the country of abundance, as far as the eye can see, a piece of emerald green fields, Qianmo traffic, a piece of vitality, about noon, people have gone back to eat, the chimneys of the houses on the edge of the fields are smoking, and there are not a few people in the field, some people have cattle, some people have horses, houses made of mud, surrounded by fences, which is similar to Suning's previous hometown, but this place is much larger.

"This is my fiefdom?" Suning pointed to this large piece of land and asked, Wang Yuan nodded, stretched out his finger and pointed around: "This is only a part, your fief is two thousand acres of land, and that's all there is?" It will take some time to ride a horse and go around a circle, Bixia's favor for you, you can see it! ”

Suning said with a smile: "Wang County has won the prize, how many people cultivate such a large piece of land?" How many people depend on these fields for food? ”

Wang Yuan said: "Your 600 households are arranged here, 600 households, 1,963 mouths, 362 men in the prime of life, 27 cattle, 16 horses, these two thousand acres of fiefdom are very good land, in the past, the yield per mu was more than one stone, or even about one stone and a half, very high yield. ”

The average yield per mu of grain recorded in the history books in the Tang Dynasty is indeed about one stone, and only a few cultivated land can reach the yield of about two stones, that is, the output of Gyeonggi Liangtian, Li Erbixia's special care for Suning can be seen, so quickly it was arranged, and immediately arranged for farming, it seems that these tenants are also working hard! But with their own seeds, it won't take a few years for them to live a rich life!

After looking at it for a while, a few officials came to Suning with a group of gray-haired old farmers, about 50 people, and the little officials said: "Uncle Sanyuan, these are all old farmers with rich farming experience, almost all of them have more than 20 years of farming experience, can you see if it is appropriate?" This is Uncle Mihara, the owner of this fiefdom, and your master! ”

Suning nodded, came to these old farmers, and asked with a smile to an old man who looked the oldest, "Uncle, how old is this year?" The old man looked at Suning's young age, with a warm smile on his face, and his tone was quite peaceful, so he said with a little anxiety: "Back to the master's words, the old man is fifty and six this year." ”

Suning nodded and said with a smile: "How many years has that land been?" The old man replied: "The old man went to the field to farm at the age of eight, except for the war when he fled, he has been planting for forty years, although the old man is older, but he still has strength, and it is not a problem to go to the field to cultivate." The old man's anxious appearance made Suning a little sad, he still had to go to the field to farm at such an old age? This is not the scene that Sadakan no Reign should be......

"Wang County Order, how much is a bullock now?" Suning asked Wang Yuan.

Wang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and replied: "A fine health cow is about four guan money, and a second jian cow is about three guan money, what does Sanyuan Bo need?" ”

Suning nodded and said, "Well, these tenants only have a total of twenty-seven ploughing cattle, right?" Six hundred minus twenty-seven, and five hundred and seventy-three, you go to buy five hundred and seventy-three fine cattle, I will send you the money, you go and contact the imperial court in charge of selling cattle, two thousand two hundred and ninety-two yuan, so that the large transaction should let the imperial court calculate a little discount, then the ninety-two yuan will be counted, and I will deliver the two thousand two hundred yuan soon, do you understand? ”

After Suning finished speaking, Wang Yuan didn't answer, not that he didn't want to answer, but he was really scared, five hundred and seventy-three ploughing cows? That's more than 2,000 yuan! That's a lot of money! What is this Earl for? Is there a ploughing ox for every household? Those old people were also frightened, they didn't know what Suning was going to do, five hundred and seventy-three ploughing cows, what was this young master going to do?

"How can my tenants not have ploughing cattle? It is a sin for an old man of such age to still need to go to the land to cultivate! Each household is equipped with a ploughing ox, the old people don't want to work so hard, such an age should be raised for a long time, in the future this large piece of land is mine, but also yours, those ploughing cattle are the gift I give you to meet, I will rely on you to eat in the future! hahahaha! ”
