There are still some old people in Jinmenwu west of Yunzhongwu.
Jinmen Lieutenant Zhong Qiu took several Wubao residents and disabled warriors from more than 20 years ago to sit on the sunbathing field and chat with the emperor.
The old people were very reserved at first, but after drinking two bowls of wine and chatting about the past, they slowly relaxed.
Jinmen Lieutenant Zhongqiu came to seek refuge seven years ago.
He was the nephew of Zhong Guan'er from Donghai who died in Piyong, so he overcame all difficulties and borrowed money from others.
The family took a ship transporting grain and arrived in Luoyang. Then they entered the Bianliang martial arts school and served as a Kinmen captain after graduation.
There are nearly 17,000 households in Yunzhong, Kinmen, Tanshan, Gancheng, Yushan, Baichao, Xiashi, and Taolin Bawu. They have been nominally placed under the Shaofu, and all the residents are "garden households."
, but the actual people who manage Wubao are martial arts students, and all the fort captains are from the ninth rank.
Zhong Qiu's original name was Zhong Donkey Qiu, which was extremely vulgar. After studying, he changed his name, removed the word "donkey", and changed his name to Qiu. He suddenly became taller and more elegant.
He is also very smart and knows what the emperor wants to see, listen to and talk about.
At this moment, he said: "The composting method that your Majesty created in Sanwu, Kinmen, seems to have been adopted by the whole of Henan. One acre of land can harvest several more buckets of grain."
Shao Xun looked at the farmland in the distance.
In my impression, it was lower than the river bank back then, but now it is almost at the same level.
After collecting the manure, mix it with river bottom silt, stir it, pile it up, and then spread it into the fields after the grain is harvested. Day after day,
Year after year, there have been such huge changes.
However, like the two-year and three-cropping system, the promotion of composting method is not so smooth.
Farmers are eager to increase grain production, but they are also extremely conservative. Things are not that easy.
Fortunately, the western half of Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and Sizhou has basically been promoted, and it is slowly spreading to the east.
Because a large number of soldiers from the government were sent to Bingzhou, the promotion of new agricultural technologies was even faster than in some areas of Henan.
Really speaking, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou are relatively slow. The proportion of wheat planting is low, there are few people who can compost, and agricultural production is relatively backward.
"How are you doing?" Shao Xun looked at the old people and asked.
After finishing speaking, he added: "We fought together back then, so there is no need to hide it, just tell the truth."
"Your Majesty." After a long time, someone finally said, "I followed your Majesty into Luoyang and returned to Jinmenwu after being seriously injured. Thanks to your Majesty, I now have a wife, children and grandchildren. My old wife died of the epidemic that year, and two
Two sons went to Luoyang and got married and started a business. One daughter married to Tanshanwu, but the youngest son and I still stay in Jinmenwu."
"There is less land in Kinmenwu, but the harvest is high. We can also graze some cattle and sheep on the mountains, so life is not bad."
"On Human Day, the second son returned from Luoyang with his family, and the whole family gathered together. They all said that they would not kill chickens on the first day, dogs on the second day, pigs on the third day, and sheep on the fourth day - my family would kill them all.
I had no other choice, so I borrowed a neighbor's house and gave them some food and wine. The whole family lived here for more than forty days. When the grandchildren were around his knees, the old man thought of the fight together and howled.
Cry loudly."
"Your Majesty, it's not easy." The old man wiped his tears and said, "I am from Bingzhou. I plan to be buried in Jinmenwu with a group of old brothers. Whoever leaves first will give him a ride.
If you leave, let your children and grandchildren see you off.
As long as I am waiting for you, Yiyang will be His Majesty's Yiyang. I have always told my children and grandchildren that when I fled to Luojing, I had no food and clothing. If Your Majesty did not take you in, you would be gone."
After saying this, everyone felt sad.
Shao Xun sighed: "With you here, what do I have to worry about?"
Luoyang is surrounded by basic markets. In this situation, you feel safe even when you sleep.
"Have you received the gift you gave me years ago?" Shao Xun asked.
"Take it."
"How many?"
"Three bushes of corn, two bolts of silk, and a lot of money."
"Have others received so much?"
"Yes, we gave it out in public on the drying ground. The young men in the castle were all envious, saying it was worth fighting for His Majesty. We all laughed. Even though we are missing arms and legs, His Majesty still remembers us."
"How is Captain Jinmen?" Shao Xun pointed at the clock ball and asked.
Zhong Qiu's face tightened.
The veteran hesitated to speak and said: "Zhongguan people are very dedicated."
Shao Xun nodded, no longer asked about the matter, and casually asked: "What are you doing, sir?"
"I'm adjusting ink with someone in the back mountain." The veteran said, "This is still a matter assigned by His Majesty back then. Over the years, the people have changed several times, and they are still adjusting it."
For many years, people in the back mountain of Jinmenwu have been studying how to prepare ink suitable for woodblock printing, even earlier than Shaofu.
At this point, the product has been iterated many times. To be honest, there are still many shortcomings, but it is much better than the original product.
Shao Xun even thought about offering a nationwide reward to get more people to participate. Because this thing requires a bit of luck,
A little new idea, if there are more people involved, maybe one of them will get lucky and it will come out.
Luoyang Imperial College reopened in February this year, and the demand for woodblock printing became more and more urgent. Now the ink is stuck.
Still can't figure it out.
Requires a little luck!
"I feel relieved to see that you can spend your old age peacefully." Shao Xun stood up and said, "You fought for me when you were young. If your old age is miserable, how can I be able to enjoy wine and beauty in peace?"
After saying that, he clapped his hands and asked the soldiers to bring silk. Each person present had two pieces as a meeting gift.
Everyone is grateful.
"There is no need to thank me." Shao Xun personally helped the veteran up and said, "Twenty years ago you were very brave. You did not shy away from the edge and rushed to the front. You deserve all this."
After saying that, he asked again: "Compared with twenty years ago, have I changed?"
"What a big change." The old soldier said with a smile: "There are a group of concubines who are like heavenly beings around me. I almost thought I had seen the wrong person."
Shao Xun laughed loudly and said, "When I was with you, I was so smelly that I couldn't sleep."
Everyone laughed.
"I'm going to invite you to a feast of wine and meat today." Shao Xun said, "There are two thousand families in the fort, and everyone has a share."
When everyone heard this, they were very happy.
The emperor is treating guests, how can it be so honorable to go out? So Zhong Qiu immediately sent someone to pass the order, asking Wubao Dingzhuang to go down the mountain, clean up the place, and prepare firewood.
After Shao Xun turned around and left, he looked at his sons who were not far behind him and asked: "Did you gain anything from what you just did? Hutou, you come first. Hutou? Where's Hutou?"
Hutou had already slipped to the wall, holding a big stone lock in his hand, and was trying to climb over the wall. Hearing his father's call, he was so frightened that he threw the stone lock away and trotted over, saying, "Master, I just listened carefully. Around Luoyang
, we need to arrange more people like this. If there are thieves who rebel in the future, no one will respond. Instead, they will be ordered by the court to kill the thieves."
At the end of the sentence, he lowered his voice and muttered: "Even if you go hunting and the city gate is locked, you can still go to Yiyang to gather loyal and brave people."
Shao Xun raised his right hand high, wanting to hit him, but finally put it down and cursed with a smile: "What you say is rough but your reasoning is not rough."
"Chunlang, tell me." Shao Xun looked at his son, who had never had much of a presence, and asked.
"It will make my father famous far and wide." Chunlang said nervously.
"It's not wrong." He didn't have high expectations for this son, so he was more tolerant, and his words were encouraging. He just heard him say again: "Several of your brothers have been in charge of the Forbidden Garden. In a few days, you will
Take the royal officials to Tanshanwu. There are two thousand households in the fort there. Take good care of them. I will send people to inspect them after the harvest next autumn. If you manage them well, these two thousand households will be your food town from now on.
Already."
Lao Wu was granted the title of King of Han, with an income of ten thousand households, and his fiefdom was in Lushi County, Shangluo County.
After the three families were divided into the Jin Dynasty, the Lu family and Yiyang family were within the territory of South Korea.
Since the late Jin Dynasty, because Lushi County is located in the mountains and has a fairly small river valley plain, many refugees have gathered, about 3,000 households, all of which have been used as food for Lao Wu.
There is also a large area of ​​​​the surrounding mountainous forest area. In fact, there are not many people, more than a thousand households.
There are 2,000 households in Tanshanwu. In the future, they will all be allocated to him as a settlement, so there will be more than 6,000 households. In fact, the final number is only this many. If the household registration is continued, there will be no potential, and the natural endowment will be
so.
However, because in the mountains, there is a lot of damage when transporting property, the actual money and food received by Lao Wu will be less. Compared with the other brothers, he is really poor.
"Liang Nu, it's your turn." Shao Xun said again.
"Master, I only saw the word 'convinced'." Liang Nu said.
"What's the explanation?" Shao Xun asked.
"My grandpa restored the old mountains and rivers and allowed them to live a peaceful life with no worries about food and clothing, so I am willing to fight for my grandpa." Liang Nu said: "The more people like this, the more stable the foundation of Daliang will be.

"You've read well." Shao Xun nodded and said, "When you govern a place from now on, you must remember today's words."
Then I asked Lao Qi and Lao Ba. They were only twelve and eleven years old respectively. Their answers were similar to those of Lao Liuliang Nu. They were all based on the principles they had read when they were studying. As for how much they understood, it was hard to say.
What you learn through reading and what you gain from doing things are not on the same level at all.
Wait until the three of them are actually working and observe again.
Anyway, Bu Xun, a master of foundation, never looks at how beautiful a person is on his lips, but rather looks at how he actually performs his duties.
Liang Nu and others still need to wait for the opportunity to prove their ability in this area.
That night, Shao Xun stayed at Jinmenwu.
"It was in front of this window that you deceived me into losing my virginity." When he opened the window, Shao Xun looked at the noble Leshi and said with a smile.
Le Lanji patted him gently, with a look of nostalgia on her face.
It has been twenty years since I raised a son and a daughter for the man in front of me. The past has long since disappeared in the evening breeze like everything in troubled times.
"I was almost deceived by you back then." Le Lanji said softly.
Shao Xun looked at her with questioning eyes.
"You are the first man willing to coax me. I was so happy that I once had the extravagant hope that you might marry me."
"The moonlight is nice," Shao Xun said.
The woman chuckled, as if she really liked seeing the man embarrassed, because it proved that he still had a conscience and cared about her.
"How about trying it tonight?" Shao Xun said suddenly.
Le Lanji was surprised at first, and then her face turned red.
You are in your forties, why are you still here?
"That's all." Shao Xun smiled, sat back at the desk, and read through the military newspaper that had just been delivered.
Hou Feihu had already put down Feng Yi, and Shangjun rebelled, beheading more than 4,000 people and capturing 10,000 people.
With a stroke of his pen, Shao Xun sent all the prisoners to Ruyin and handed them over to Zhang Shuo.
A large amount of cannon fodder is needed over there, whether it is war cannon fodder or logistical cannon fodder, it will be used soon.
On the eighth day of March, Shao Xun did not go to Tanshanwu again, but went directly north, then turned west, and arrived in Shaanxian County on March 17th.
After staying for two days, we continued westward towards Tongguan.
