In March, spring came

A vast field, with the scent of the earth, blowing a large field of newly-grown wheat into small pieces, and the peasants toiled diligently.

The sky was full of birds flying happily, surrounded by mountains in the distance, and the pale shadows of the green mountains and the lush green fields were so harmonious.

The sound of the hooves of twenty horsemen joined in one and patrolled the road.

When they reached a village, the cavalry slowed down, and everyone was looking at a village with a brick wall.

"My lord, why did you allow Team He to build this village and live in a clan?" Xue Yuan stepped forward and whispered.

He Wulang's fifty soldiers will get land according to the system, and he moved here again, and built a village with 200 households, according to this situation, he will be a local tyrant in the future.

Wang Shoutian smiled slightly: "There is a way to deal with the people, and if you are in a hurry, you should not be in a hurry, and if you are in a hurry, you will be in chaos; ”

Seeing that Xue Yuan was confused, he said again: "The way of the master lies in the creation of tools!"

In the 21 st century, the general view is that the governance of the people and the army will be broken up and reorganized, but this is maintained by relying on the unprecedented tools of the modern modern state.

In ancient times, there was no such instrument, so if you deal with the consciousness of clan relatives and clansmen, if you force it, it is tyrannical and unreasonable, that is, it goes against the feelings of the people and the people, and in fact you do something that works hard to scrape the people and hurts the people, which will inevitably lead to serious consequences, and Wang Shoutian is very clear about this.

If you go too fast, you will fall, and if you stretch too tightly, you will break.

For the sake of the interests of the people, if the law is too urgent, the subordinates and the people will resist, just like the rational line, the more rational the more chaotic, this is the profound truth of governing the country.

And Wang Shoutian in his previous life did not understand this reason and failed.

In this life, it is natural to know the proportions, the clans get together, and the village is self-preservation, in this era, it is common sense, how can it be reckless and lose people's hearts?

He Wulang wants to build Hejia Village, let him go, as long as he continues to improve, he will eventually be able to accommodate and digest.

Seeing that Xue Yuan was still pondering, Wang Shoutian didn't say much, just pointed to the big waterwheels and said, "Look at this situation, the reclamation is good!"

"My lord, 10,000 acres have been reclaimed, planted with spring wheat, and 5,000 acres of land, which is rice farming, producing seedlings, early rice is sown at the end of this month, and seedlings will be planted in April, so before planting seedlings in April, a total of 40,000 acres of land will be reclaimed. ”

"April and May are the busiest months, first planting rice, then harvesting wheat, and when everything is done, it is time to divide the fields. ”

"Well, it's hard work. Wang Shoutian said, thought about it, and said: "Rice planting in rice fields seems to be able to throw seedlings, which saves a lot of people's labor." ”

“...... Why did you say that?" Xue Yuan raised his head violently and asked in shock.

Rice transplanting is a common method of rural seedlings, also known as transplanting, generally seedlings can be transplanted when they grow to 3~5 inches long, that is, called transplanting.

On the first day of rice planting, called "opening the rice seedling gate", the housewife prepares food, wine and meat for the family and helpers to have a meal. At the end of the rice planting, it is called "closing the rice door", and on the dinner day of the end of the rice planting, the host's family will invite the helpers to the banquet, which is called "scattering". When planting rice and farming, in addition to three meals a day, snacks should be added twice.

It's a very hard process and it costs a lot of money.

“...... When the rice grows into a seedling, it is thrown in the field when it does not grow tall, which is different from transplanting, it is directly thrown in the field by hand, which is more time-saving and lighter than transplanting. ”

"......" Xue Yuan stared at Wang Shoutian, as if looking at a person who "why not eat meat", this rice planting, but the farming that has been passed down since ancient times, the lord actually changed his word.

Looking at his eyes, Wang Shoutian smiled helplessly, not to mention this era, even in the 90s on the earth, he still planted rice, and when he was seven or eight years old, he helped his grandmother plant rice, and he had a deep understanding of this hardship.

When he was in his twenties, he changed all to throwing seedlings, which can greatly reduce the labor intensity, which is certain, originally one acre, it takes 3 to 5 manpower, but now only one person, throwing seedlings to the paddy field, this is his personal experience.

With personal experience, and according to the data, this not only reduces labor costs, saves labor, but also saves seedling fields, improves work efficiency by 5~8 times, and at the same time there is no slow seedling period, which can increase the yield of some grain per mu compared with hand transplanting fields.

However, like the nature of Hejia Village, this matter is not urgent, Wang Shoutian smiled slightly, and said: "This method does not need to be promoted, 10,000 acres of paddy fields, you make 100 acres, try to throw seedlings, if it fails, of course do not mention, if it is successful, it will be promoted in the future." ”

In the previous life, Wang Shoutian, that is, the steps were in a hurry, but the string was too tight, broken, but did not see its benefits, only saw its faults, such as this throwing seedlings, is personally experienced, it must be a good law, but if it is forcibly promoted, the people are resentful, only afraid that there will be an immediate overturn, when the time comes, even if it proves to be a good law in the future, it has already died and the clan has been wiped out, what is the benefit?

Just like Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty opened the canal and conquered Goryeo, it was beneficial to thousands of generations, but it led to a million Wagang army, the world collapsed, and the family was wiped out!

How could Wang Shoutian be so unwise?

Sure enough, hearing Wang Shoutian say this, he only experimented in a hundred acres, Xue Yuan immediately regained his original respectful eyes, and said, "The lord is wise." ”

After the group finished inspecting, they rode back to the city, and when they arrived in the central district of the city, Xue Yuan immediately clasped his fists and saluted: "My lord, the lower official has taken his leave." ”

Wang Shoutian nodded with a smile and turned his horse towards the barracks.

In view of the fact that the county seat was already full of 1,000 households, and the approval of the commander was obtained, five battalions could be built, so the barracks were immediately busy, and the old battalions had work to do again, recruiting five battalions of recruits.

The sources of recruits are somewhat complicated, some are from the He family, some are young and strong people in the county, some are recruited from the entire Wenyang Town, some are Wang Shoutian's villagers, and some are villagers brought by Chai Jia from his hometown hundreds of miles away.

Now these people are forming five battalions and training hard, of course, the fifth battalion plus the second battalion is the seventh battalion, which exceeds the establishment, but after the training of the recruits is completed, only six or seven out of ten are qualified, and the unqualified ones are eliminated, that is, the fifth battalion.

For these recruits, in the first month, they still learned to stand in line, and they were no longer all in the gun camp, but more concentrated on training the sword and shield battalion and the bow battalion, and the cavalry was finally formed into a team.

In practice, Wang Shoutian listened to the actual opinions and added a few clauses, that is, since the archery battalion is only responsible for shooting and does not fight face-to-face, the danger is far less high than that of the hand-to-hand combat troops, and for the sake of balance, shooting three people is counted as only one person's work.

Secondly, killing thieves and thieves is only half of the work.

Again, in order to encourage hard training in the army, the monthly assessment selects one-tenth of the strong martial arts in the army, and obtains the treatment of elite soldiers, but if they fall behind in the assessment next month, they will be revoked immediately, and those who kill people will never be revoked, and the fire chief can participate in the assessment, and the fire chief and above will not participate in the assessment.

At this time, I saw 700 people in the battalion, the sound of drills was continuous, there were demonstrations of veterans, and the training of recruits was much smoother.

In the team, although Chai Jia is the team, he is still practicing, although it is March and the temperature is very low, he only wears single clothes and sweats like rain.

Chai Jia is a newcomer, although because he saw the handsome and was promoted to the team, everyone has nothing to say, but after all, he is a little contemptuous, Chai Jia also knows this truth, in order to show that he is not a fluke, he automatically participates in training, and is very hard.

Wang Shoutian was also by him, and after a drill was completed, Wang Shoutian ordered his soldiers to call Chai Jia: "You go and wipe your sweat and change your clothes, I will have something to ask you later." ”

"Yes, my lord!" Chai Jia responded, he hurried to the barracks, and after a while, he was fully dressed and came out.

"Chai Jia, I heard that your brother Chai Maosen has come, I don't know what he originally did?"

"Lord, my brother was originally a priest in Yanshan County, and when he heard that I was a team leader, and knew that the lord was wise and wise, he brought the whole family over to join the lord. Chai Jia arched his hand and said, "My brother and I are willing to serve the lord, and I hope the lord will take him in." ”

Wang Shoutian's face showed joy, and said: "Chai Jia, you are a talent of a hundred people, and your brother must also be a great talent, I would like to see him immediately, and I invite you to introduce him." ”

Let's not talk about whether it's really a talent or not, but the attitude is really good.

"Dare to disobey your fate?" Chai Jia was overjoyed and hurriedly said.

Out of the barracks, barracks and ordinary people's squares, there is a quarantine area, hundreds of meters empty, those who dare to approach, immediately arrested.

After a while, I arrived at Minfang District, and when I arrived at a place, I saw Chai Jia suddenly say: "My lord, please look, this is Brother She." ”

Wang Shoutian looked up, only to see a rice shop, a man was bargaining with the owner of the shop, this man was about thirty, with a beautiful face, some long beard, wearing a square scarf, wearing a Confucian shirt, it didn't look new, the fabric was not very good, but it was very clean.

The man asked the shopkeeper to be cheaper.

The shopkeeper refused: "Alas, this gentleman, this rice is already very cheap, but I am new here, so it is cheaper, it is already cheap, and I can't let it anymore." ”

The man smiled and said: "The shop, Wenyang Mansion, counts 124 cents of silver per stone of rice, but you want to sell 126 cents of silver per stone of rice, which is 1 dollar and 4 cents more expensive, how can it not be reduced?"

The shop was stunned, and met someone familiar with the market, shook his head helplessly, and said: "Wenyang Mansion is at this price, but it also needs a boat fare to transport it, so let's do it, I will only drop one dollar at most, one or two or five yuan, and I will not want more." ”

The man smiled and said, "So, thank you." ”

He took out the silver money from his pocket, at this time, Wang Shoutian's heart moved, this person knows the people's livelihood very well, and looked up at the moment, but saw that this person was slightly white on the top, but the natal qi was only white, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

But after thinking about it, he laughed at himself: "How can there be so many innate destiny in this world?"

Thinking about it, he turned over and dismounted, and stepped forward.

At this time, this person also saw a group of people supported by his own soldiers, and saw a young man at the head, and as soon as he saw this young man approaching, he bowed his hand: "This is Mr. Chai, right?"

"Don't dare, isn't your lord the king of this county?" the man hurriedly returned the salute and said.

"It's so, I was overjoyed to hear that Mr. Chai was coming, there were many people here, and I invited Mr. Chai to come in to speak. Wang Shoutian said with a smile and pointed to a wine shop: "It's just noon, and I am allowed to be the landlord." ”
