Chapter 26: The Breakthrough (I)
May
The sun was already blazing, even in the morning, there was terrible steaming, and the wheat planted last winter was almost ripe, and the new rice was growing very lushly.
When a gust of wind passes through, it refreshes the whole body.
In such a climate, Wang Shoutian was still in the field, turning his eyes to the wheat field.
Three thousand acres, a large sea of wheat, shining in the golden sun, it makes people comfortable at a glance, Wang Shoutian squinted, and said: "When will this wheat be harvested?"
"It's going to be two days tomorrow and today. Xue Yuanying said: "Now, you can harvest, just wait for the order of the adult!"
"Very well, what about the preparation for the division of the fields?" Wang Shoutian said.
"In the past two months, the fields have been divided, and each household has recognized their own fields, and they are only waiting for the order of the adults to officially divide the fields. Xue Yuan pointed to the farmers who were busy in the fields and said.
"Great goodness, if you take precautions. Wang Shoutian raised his head and laughed: "I order, harvest!"
"Yes!" The order went down, and suddenly, the cavalry conveyed the order, and in a moment, six thousand men, armed with scythes and flat poles, divided into twelve torrents, and poured into the three thousand acres of wheat fields.
The young and strong harvest, the women bale the bales, the young and the old gather the ears of wheat, everything is in order.
At the time of harvesting, everyone's faces showed brilliance, this is the light of hope, Wang Shoutian turned around and ordered: "First weigh one acre of wheat." ”
"Yes!" said Chai Maosen, who immediately sent someone to harvest an acre of land and weigh it.
Half an hour later, one acre of wheat land had come out: "Hui Yu, two stones per mu." ”
"Based on this, two stones per mu and six thousand stones per three thousand mu will be reported, and they will be reported to the marshal!" Wang Shoutian said to Lai Tongyu's order.
"Obey!" Since the official document had already been written, Lai Tongyu added some numbers to one line and finished writing.
Wang Shoutian unfolded it, couldn't help but smile, and said: "Immediately pass the horse to the big handsome!"
"Yes!" the second rider turned over and galloped away.
"Lord, it's hot now, do you want to avoid it?" Xue Yuan asked, "We can be here." ”
Wang Shoutian shook his head and said, "I don't have to do it today." ”
With the harvest, the people's joy is getting stronger and stronger, although they are tired and not afraid, Wang Shoutian feels the mood one by one, watching the clouds on the top, the white gas has been extremely thick, the gold seal can not be stored, and a large amount of white gas is lost, which is a pity.
Now that everything has been done, it is up to the commander to canonize the will.
At this time, it was the twelfth year of the vertical upright, looking at the situation in the world at that time, the royal family gradually declined, the power of the feudal towns became huge, and the military strength was constantly expanding, Wang Shoutian knew that in the next ten years, the feudal towns annexed each other, and the kings of Qin, Jin, and Liang would be born to compete for the world.
And unconsciously, the grass Hu people are also fiercely unified, and the overlord was born, and after 300,000 iron horsemen, they attacked the Central Plains.
In such a situation, Wang Shoutian can only swim against the current, racing against time, and now it is another test and progress.
Jishui County to Wenyang Mansion, but 100 miles, fast horses, as long as two hours to the city.
At this time, in the study, Wang Zunzhi closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, and when he saw it, he hurriedly approached and asked for instructions: "Marshal, should I rest for a while at noon?"
"I don't need to, I have to think about something more, you all go down!"
Wang Zunzhi sat for a while, only to feel that all things were coming.
Although Liu Siming is dead, he is not energetic, and it is difficult to crusade in person, but if he can't quickly annex this town, he is afraid that he will ......
The towns of Shudi, now the marshal Wei Cundong who occupies Chengdu is the strongest, has already occupied the three towns, if this momentum continues, and then he occupies the second town, it will be out of control.
As the lord of a town, he has four counties and one government in name, but he can only have 2,000 personal soldiers in his hands, and even among the 2,000 personal soldiers, there are very few who are loyal and can help in times of emergency.
I still live in control, but if they are loyal to Tian'er, it is really a sight to see, and the people are suspicious, and it is really chilling to think about it.
However, Tian'er also competed and built Jishui County from scratch.
You must know that although he is a marshal, he only has one county and one government in his hands, and it is very difficult to support the tooth soldiers, and from time to time he has to be asked for money and food by the tooth generals, how much is redundant.
Although he gritted his teeth early and was ready to support Tian'er, it was not much, but now Tian'er is basically starting from scratch, but he has really solved the problem.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door in the distance: "Dashuai, Jishui County is coming!"
Hearing this, Wang Zunzhi got up, came to the door, opened the door, and before waiting for the announcement, he took down the official document and unfolded it, "Today, 30,000 acres of fertile land and 10,000 acres of middle fields are opened...... Cutting wheat, counting 6,000 stones", immediately overjoyed.
Everything has a law, even if it is the lord of a town, it cannot be promoted at will, Wang Shoutian reported that he reclaimed 40,000 acres and got 6,000 stone wheat, this is the real money and silver achievements, Wang Zunzhi is not very happy.
When he went back, he took out a letter of appointment from the table, as well as a gold seal, unfolded it, and saw that there was no drawback, so he said: "Xuan Li Xian, quickly spread this order to Jishui County." ”
"Yes!" the attendant immediately responded.
At this time, Li Xian was working in an east wing, and when he received this official document, he opened it and closed it, saying, "I'm going to go." ”
sighed in his heart, although he already knew the mind of the marshal, but this time without discussion, the appointment was announced, which was a very obvious hint.
It can't even be said to be implicit, it is explicit.
At noon, all 3,000 acres were harvested, and a bundle was bundled into the county.
At this time, there were already ten stone mills lined up, all with donkeys, and the people cheered, pouring the wheat in, and the donkeys pulled it, and rolling the rollers back and forth on the grinding pan to achieve the purpose of rolling and husking.
This is made of two flat cylindrical stones of a certain thickness, the upper fan has a grinding eye, when grinding the dough, the grain flows into the grinding chamber through the grinding eye, evenly distributed around, is ground into powder, flows from the crack to the grinding disc, and the flour is obtained by sifting the bran and so on.
And the bran can also be used as feed, for example, feeding pigs is good.
"Give me an order, give an order, and count the flour and bran, how much wheat flour can be produced per stone of wheat?"
"The convention is seventy percent!" Xue Yuan said.
"Six thousand stone of wheat, can only produce four thousand stone of flour, ten liters for one bucket, ten buckets for one stone, this time can not be according to the number of households, must come according to the population, how many of us have?"
"My lord, it has a population of five thousand eight hundred and forty-one. ”
"Then according to the standard of distributing half of it, each person will receive three buckets of flour, one bucket of bran, and when he receives the flour, he will also receive the field house book, and as soon as the commander's order arrives, it will be distributed. ”
"Lord, there's not much left!" Xue Yuan said with a frown.
"In the future, as long as the army is maintained, and by the end of next month, the rice field will be mature, this is not 6,000 stones, how much is the yield per mu of rice, is there four stones?"
Wang Shoutian vaguely remembered that there was a record on the earth.
"Historical Records and River Canal Book" contains the words of the Pan system in the east of the river: "Pierce the canal to lead Fen, irrigate Pishi and Fenyin, and lead the river to irrigate Fenyin and Pubanxia, and you can get 5,000 hectares." Five thousand acres of land need to be abandoned by the river, and the people are herded in it. Now irrigated fields, the degree can get more than 2 million stones. ”
That is to say, the average yield per mu of irrigated rice fields is four stones.
And that's not even taking into account the high yields of fertile land.
Sure enough, as soon as Xue Yuan groaned, he said: "I look at this field, there is it." ”
"That's right, there are a total of 30,000 acres of rice fields, and you can get 120,000 stones, and you are still worried about the lack of food?" Wang Shoutian said with a smile.
"Yes, my lord!"
However, these 3,000 acres of wheat fields have not been disturbed, and these 30,000 acres of rice fields may not have been disturbed. Wang Shoutian squinted and looked into the distance: "I should take precautions." ”
This disturbs not only the inside, but also the outside.
In two seasons a year, there are 200,000 stones, what is the concept?
Don't look at the fact that you have a government and a county, but if you are distributed, you may not have so much food in your income!
This is because, in other prefectures and counties, there are landlords and heroes, and there are officials who exploit them, so the burden of the people is more than fifty percent, but the handsome man has less than one-fifteenth!
In addition to some landlords in Jishui County, in these 40,000 mu, there are no landlords who are strong and strong, and there are not many officials, so they directly get half of it, which shows Wang Shoutian's current economic strength.
100,000 stone of grain, even if a soldier who has worked very hard to train can feed 5 liters, he can support 2,000 people, not to mention the growing number of displaced people, every 1,000 households increase, he can raise twice as many soldiers!
Thinking of this, Wang Shoutian deeply understood why Li Chengye, who was in Jishui County, was able to counterattack and defend in the second year, conquer the capital of Sichuan, and also took the initiative to hand over Taisu County to himself (he was overjoyed at that time, thinking that he was loyal), and there were so many talents to rely on, as well as the capital of rebellion - it was really enough food and soldiers!
Taisu County is not a blank land, and if he gets it, he can only extract one-tenth of the tax according to his habit, and it also causes the people to complain, and Li Chengye has the capital to overthrow himself as long as he has Jishui County and continues to absorb displaced people!
It's a pity that in his previous life, he didn't know about this key, thinking that he had mastered two prefectures and seven counties, far above one county, and didn't want to be equal in strength!
No matter how much he has the mandate of heaven, luck does not come out of thin air, only by mastering this emperor's capital, Li Chengye can be out of control - like a dragon in water.
Wang Shoutian breathed a sigh of relief, this key was not immediately thought of, but when the output was calculated today, he suddenly realized and understood the key.
However, you can't take all the 100,000 stones, you can give half of them to Dashuai!
When I woke up from my thoughts, it was already afternoon, and the scribe had already folded all the scrolls of papers on the long table, and he was busy with sweat.
The officials on one side divided the flour and bran that had been ground in half.
Wang Shoutian asked, "Can you finish preparing the book of granting fields?"
"My lord, one thousand two hundred and eleven households, have basically been prepared, just waiting for the adult to give an order. ”
Wang Shoutian nodded with satisfaction, and looked at the cloud qi on the top again, just at this moment, the cloud qi on the top was a lot thicker!
At this moment, there was a cavalry voice in the distance, and a horse came first, turned over and dismounted, and knelt on the ground: "Report, Secretary Lang Li Xian, with the commander Ling Yu is here." ”
