It snowed heavily all night last night, and the snow was three feet deep.
However, Dou Yu still traveled between mountains and rivers.
He visited the mountains and rivers one by one, and earnestly persuaded the monsters living in the mountains and rivers to come down from the mountains in the spring of next year to help the Shouchun mortals cultivate the land.
It’s a pity that the answer is enough!
Most of those who are willing to agree are little monsters.
Not only is his magic power low, he is also skinny.
If Dou Yu didn't come to see them, they would probably all starve to death and freeze to death in this cold winter.
Someone with a little bit of magic power actually goes down the mountain to plow the fields?
Each head shook like a rattle.
If it weren't for Dou Yu, he was from the Dou family, with the blood of the demon clan and the background of the King of Chu.
I'm afraid some wild demon king will kill him.
arable land?
To the human race?
What nonsense are you talking about?
The majestic demon king plows the land for mortals? If word spreads about this, I will continue to mess around!
Why pay with incense?
hehe!
Master, if I am short of incense, I will never do it myself.
They were all business travelers who took the initiative to show their respect.
Therefore, after working for several months, Dou Yu only found more than a hundred little demons willing to agree.
It's even more pitiful when it comes to aquariums.
All in all, it is only effective for dozens of aquariums.
This is because Dou Yu promised to subsidize an additional ingot of copper incense every month in addition to the incense.
"The national situation is difficult!" Dou Yu led his people out of a demon king's lair again. As expected, he was rejected again.
"Young Master!" said a Chu official who was following Dou Yu: "We came here with good intentions to persuade...but these vulgar monsters don't know what is good and what is evil..."
"Why don't you mobilize a large army to attack them, capture them all, and farm them for us?"
Dou Yu immediately turned around and glared angrily.
Monsters can be killed, eaten, and skinned and their souls extracted!
As long as you are strong enough and not afraid of future karma, you can do whatever you like with these things!
However……
Slavery, and large-scale slavery.
This is the way to die!
Do you really think Tai Sutian doesn’t care about anything?
Moreover, the great master’s moral tradition is to do things without doing anything and let nature take its course.
Doing it by force is blasphemy and disobedience!
The man was a little frightened when Dou Yu looked at him, so he could only lower his head and said nothing.
Dou Yu raised his head and said to everyone: "Such violent and unethical words should never be said again!"
"Otherwise, God will blame you!"
After saying that, Dou Yu added: "Although this generation is unwilling to go down the mountain now, he has finally made an agreement with us that from now on he will not go down the mountain at will to kill and plunder human beings!"
This is also the biggest result of Dou Yu’s months of hard work.
As the legitimate son of the Dou family and the confidant of the king of Chu, he traveled through mountains, rivers and swamps.
He made an agreement with the demon king and the leader of the water tribe.
Since they are unwilling to go out to help, they cannot go down to destroy the villages, land and livestock of Shouchun mortals.
Otherwise, Shouchun will not let them go.
In this way, we at least strive for the safety of production and life of the Shouchun people.
You can reclaim wasteland with confidence.
that is……
"As for Liu County, this year's spring plowing has expanded the cultivated land area to 450,000 hectares!"
"As soon as next spring begins, their land will increase by another 70%!"
"In addition, next year for spring plowing, they will open another 200,000 hectares of wasteland!"
When Dou Yu was talking about the content of the letters sent back from Liujun by the kings and grandsons, he couldn't help but sigh: "In the next year, the sown area of Liujun will probably reach more than 500,000 hectares!"
"And this year, they have new farm tools and new topdressing methods..."
"His Royal Highness said in his letter that the yield per mu may reach more than five stones next year!"
Having said this, Dou Yu looked at the people behind him: "And what about us?"
"With Shouchun's autumn harvest this year, the average yield per mu will be one stone?"
Everyone shook their heads.
In the two thousand miles of Shouchun, there are about 1,700,000 young and strong mortals, although the population is far greater than that of Liujun.
However, the cultivated land area is only 60,000 hectares, and the land yield is less than one stone per mu.
As a result, ordinary people are ragged and skinny.
Even after Dou Yu took office, he followed the example of Liu County and promoted people's self-governance. He ordered each village to elect a village chief and jointly establish village rules and township covenants.
Most of the previous exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes were also abolished.
All tributes from He Bo, tribute from land, and tribute from mountain gods are exempted!
He also announced that starting from this year, he would be exempt from royal taxes and corvees for three years and rest with the people.
However, this still cannot change the living conditions of mortals.
It just allows them to take a breath.
Poor land, poor output and poor people.
It's like mountains, pressing down on your head.
This winter, hundreds of mortals have frozen to death in Shouchun City alone.
In the spring of next year, the originally planned land development plan had to be shelved.
because……
Dou Yu discovered that without the help of the demon clan, how could he just rely on the physical strength of the human race to open up the wasteland?
almost impossible!
The human race is inherently inferior to the demon race in terms of physical strength!
What's more, the Shouchun people are very poor and weak. If they forcefully open up wasteland, a large number of people will die from exhaustion immediately!
He is here to do meritorious deeds, not to commit evil!
Thinking of this, Dou Yu thought of the latest drawings of Liujun's step plow that His Highness Wang Sun had sent back.
That is indeed a good item!
pity……
But they can only buy it from Liujun.
Because the people of Chu did not know how to smelt iron, and there were no skilled craftsmen who could make such utensils.
Of course, the Chu State could choose to let the golden elixir and Yuanying monks refine the plow using the method of refining treasures.
The monk used his magical power to extract the gold from the iron ore.
Then use the art of refining treasure to temper the iron ore.
But the problem is, the cost will be unimaginable!
Not to mention Shouchun couldn't hold it, even Chu State couldn't hold it!
Therefore, I can only write to Wang Sun to ask for help in ordering.
However, it is still too little for Liujun himself to use now, so how can he accept the sounds from outside?
His Highness Wang Sun wrote back two days ago, saying that after much struggle, he managed to get ten plows, and that he had asked the Great Sage Tie Yu to travel day and night to deliver Shouchun.
For this reason, Wang Sun had to owe the Great Sage Tieyu a favor!
While thinking about these things, Dou Yu and his party stepped on the snow and arrived at a village at the foot of the mountain.
When the villagers heard that a nobleman from Shouchun was coming, they came out to greet him one after another.
When these people saw Dou Yu, they all knelt down and kowtowed: "You little man is kowtowing to Duke Ming!"
"Get up... get up!" Dou Yu could only interrupt his thoughts and quickly stepped forward to help these ragged and thin people one by one: "Folks..." He advised earnestly: "We can
I can’t bear such great gifts from everyone!”
"His Royal Highness Wang Sun and the King have issued edicts..."
"The people of Shouchun, except for the Lord and Master of Heaven and Earth, don't have to kneel to anyone else..."
Although the villagers were shivering from the cold, they all smiled and said respectfully: "Ming Gong, the little people see what you do... We kowtow to you sincerely.
!”
"I wish you a long life, many children and many blessings!"
Dou Yu listened and sighed.
In the past few months, he has led people throughout Shouchun, spreading the Shouchun New Deal to every village, and personally supervising and guiding the election of village chiefs in each village.
So, I received a lot of gratitude.
So wherever he went, the people always came with their families to greet him, and when they met, they kowtowed to express gratitude.
No matter how he tried to persuade him, the result was the same.
"How did Tianzun make all living beings in Shashui learn to stand up back then?" This made Dou Yu couldn't help but think deeply.
At first, he thought that this matter was very simple and could be solved with just one command.
However, the facts told him that this matter was the most complicated and difficult.
It is even more difficult and complicated than persuading the demon clan.
At least, the demon clan could listen to his words.
And these mortals, no matter how many times he talks, no matter how hard he persuades.
When we meet, we still kneel, kowtow, and express gratitude.
It's not like Liu Jun at all. Even new immigrants can stand upright and straighten their backs in a month or two.
No matter who you face, you will never give in easily again!
"This matter has a long way to go!" Dou Yu said in his heart as he helped the people up.
Then he held hands with these simple people and said: "Fellow folks, I am here to serve you on behalf of the king and His Royal Highness..."
"So, I really can't bear everyone's generous gifts!"
"Please don't do this again in the future!"
The people looked at each other.
Dou Yu could only sigh: "It's windy and snowy outside, folks, let's go inside and talk!"
But I couldn't help but think of the villagers, village chief and township committee members in Liujun.
"Perhaps..." Dou Yu said in his heart: "I should write to His Highness Wang Sun and ask him to request Liujun to hire a group of Liujun village chiefs to come to Shouchun..."
