The green mountains are seen in the distance, and the mist is thick.
In the farmland by the river, farmers picked up their sickles and worked hard to cut the wheat.
The family members of the sergeants who moved from Guanbei greatly changed the social atmosphere and even production and living habits of Jinjiang.
They brought a large number of livestock, mainly beef cattle, dairy cows, sheep, and even horses.
They do not plant all the land with millet and wheat, but instead have a lot of fallow land every year.
Various types of pastures and beans are grown on fallow land. The diligent people cut the pastures home to feed their livestock, while the lazy people just build livestock pens next to the cultivated land and let cattle and sheep enter the fields to eat the high-yielding pastures.
They drank milk and ate cheese, soufflé, milk dregs, and milk skin.
They do not grow mulberries or raise silkworms in their gardens. They grow grapes, make raisins, brew wine, and feed the dregs to their cows.
Their cows produce so much milk that it’s surprising.
They actually eat beef, a lot of beef.
Are they still Han Chinese?
The new and efficient agricultural production model has greatly impacted the ideas of the people of Shanxi and Jiangxi.
Although they are ignorant, illiterate, and have never been far from the village in their lives, it does not mean that they are stupid.
Buckets after buckets of milk are milked home and made into physalis, cheese, soufflé, and milk powder. After eating this, the children stay healthy and rarely get sick.
The local children all gathered around the foreign children, hoping that some milk residue would leak out from their fingers so that they could have a good meal.
The local men looked at the crops of alfalfa, donkey beans and other pastures cut in their fields and were puzzled. Is there such a lot of grass that grows so fast in the world? Do cattle and sheep like to eat it so much?
And with so many things growing, won’t the land lose weight? Many local people in Jinjiang want to have two crops a year, but they dare not, because the soil will be exhausted, and three crops every two years is the limit.
Stealing other people's land and livestock? These are all Wu Fu's family members. What do you think? Then you can only ask for advice humbly.
There is something wrong with the way local women look at young and strong foreign men. The family life is so well-off, and you will definitely not have to worry about food and clothing when you get married. Isn't this better than guarding the land at home and digging in the soil all year round, but not enough?
The family members of the sergeants are very proud. These are the benefits brought by King Xia. They are always superior to others wherever they go. Is there anyone in the world who is more capable than King Xia?
King Xia can be considered a saint!
Shao Sheng is enjoying "Farmhouse".
Today I took my four sons on a tour of the countryside and experienced a bit of life: cutting wheat!
Shao Sheng was a man who harvested wheat in both lives and had a deep affection for the land.
Of course, the scene of harvesting wheat in the two lives is still somewhat different.
In the previous life, no one was watching, and everyone was busy working. Occasionally, someone would stand up, thump their backs, ask others about their progress, and then continue working. It was very boring.
The scene of wheat harvesting in this life was too grand. Soldiers almost filled the field ridges, with sinister faces, carrying knives and guns, watching eagerly. The media was not developed in this era, otherwise there would be a bunch of cameramen, reporters and so on.
He went out before dawn. The sun slowly rose and became more and more poisonous. Shao Sheng, who was sweating profusely, called his sons to leave.
After he left, the tenants of the military-affiliated farms rushed in to continue the unfinished work.
"Father, why don't you fight in June?" Under the shade of the trees, palace officials and female historians were busy, some wiped sweat, some shook fans, some made tea, some prepared snacks, and some helped with pressing and beating.
Shao Shude enjoyed it calmly and explained to his sons: "First, from the first month to May, each army fought for four or five months and needed to rest and recuperate; secondly, the farming season should not be delayed. The Art of War says, 'There is no mercy'
But I still want to say, if possible, let the Tutuan countrymen go home and do farm work. Agriculture is the foundation of all industries and cannot be ignored."
Shao Shude's words were compassionate, but he did not tell the children a cruel fact, that is, the Flying Dragon Army had already launched a large-scale attack on both sides.
Qi Bizhang led his troops out of Xiangcheng, made a false shot to the east, then turned south, passed through Lincheng, and rushed between Chen and Cai.
Liang Hanyong led his troops out of Dayeze, and after some activities at the junction of Shan, Song, and Cao, he quickly went south, attacked Dangshan, and approached Xiaoxian.
Actually, the people of Henan also know it now. Xia Jun does not kill people indiscriminately. There is no need to panic when they come. They do what they should do. But Liang Jun officials cannot think like this. They are responsible. In order to avoid accidents,
We can only recruit local warriors over and over again to defend cities, passes and important towns.
There is no doubt that this will affect agricultural production.
"Da Lang, I will say goodbye to your mother after I return today, and go north to Lingxia with the Golden Sword Army. By then you can almost see the autumn harvest scene in northern Guan." Shao Shude said: "The places are different, the scenery is different, and the harvest time is also different.
It’s different, it’s not the first time you’ve seen me, so you should keep it in mind in the future.”
The traditional agricultural production model in Henan and Hebei is to sow millet in the spring in the first year, sow wheat after the autumn harvest, and then plant a season of short-growing grains after the summer harvest in the second year. This is called three crops in two years. No more, no less, and a variety of crops.
If the soil is not fertile enough, the yield will decrease, and the gain outweighs the gain. If you plant less, you will suffer a loss. Of course, some fields with fertile soil can continuously produce two crops a year within a certain period of time, but this cannot be generalized.
Guanbei is not so good. Some places can be harvested three times every two years, and some places can only be harvested once a year. Shao Dalang went to Feng and Sheng Erzhou, and he will naturally gain knowledge.
"I have kept it in my heart." Shao Siwu was dressed as a farmer today, tall and handsome, with calluses on his hands. Don't get me wrong, this is not caused by farm work, but the mark left by years of martial arts practice.
"Erlang, there are two taxes in the country, one is summer tax and the other is autumn tax, which correspond to summer harvest and autumn harvest. After summer harvest, summer tax will be levied, and a lot of new grain will be put into the warehouse. Today you also say goodbye to my mother-in-law.
, Tomorrow we will set off with the grain envoy Zhu Liang, and a batch of millet and wheat will be transported to Luoyang. You can follow and learn more about it." Shao Shude said: "Don't come back after arriving in Luoyang, wait until my father goes there to meet up."
"As ordered." Shao Chengjie responded.
"Your grandson will go to Luoyang in a while and serve him well," Shao Shude said again.
Shao Chengjie was stunned and responded: "I understand."
After drinking a pot of tea and eating a few snacks, Shao Shude boarded the carriage and returned to Longchi Palace in a grand manner.
After returning to the palace, I rested for a while in Yeli Lingji's room.
Ye Lishi, who is nearly thirty years old, was first shocked and then surprised when he saw Shao Shude coming.
Shao Shude also felt a little guilty, so he asked the female officer to call his third daughter, Buddha Ya, over. Yeli held Qilang carefully in his arms, and the family chatted happily.
Buddha Ya is eleven years old this year, and his real name is Shao Li. He has gradually shed his youthfulness as a little girl and transformed into a young girl.
Shao Shude spent less time with the children, and the only time he spent on his son, Buddha Ya was a little reserved. But after getting acquainted with him for a while, he sat directly next to his father, smiling brightly.
The Qiang girl Yeli's temperament did not change much and she complained a lot, but Shao Shude was not impatient and kept smiling.
Buddha Ya sat closer and said, "Master, there are many Buddhist temples in Longmen. Have many Buddha statues been carved?"
"A lot of work has indeed been done on the ten temples in Xiangshan," Shao Shude said.
"Can I take my daughter to see it?" Buddha Ya blinked and asked.
"Not now." Shao Shude said: "After the Qingshu Palace is repaired, I will bring my family to live there. Then Sanniang can see enough. Or, in the future, I can name you Princess Yinque and let those magicians be your
Food seal. Anyway, under the rule of my father, the monks also have to pay taxes."
Ye Lishi laughed and said: "Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense in front of your children."
Shao Shude saw Ye Lishi's charming smile and recalled the past when he raped her in the bathtub. His heart was about to move, but Shangyi Du Shi quickly shouted from outside: "Your Majesty, there is a military report."
"Bring it here." Shao Shude said helplessly.
Ye Lishi saw through his little thoughts and was slightly disappointed.
Shichiro started crying again, Nori sighed softly and took his daughter to the inner room.
Mrs. Du walked in and handed over a sealed document.
Shao Shude opened it and took a look, and immediately cursed: "Lu Wenjin is so shameless and courageous. He even dared to surrender to Li Keyong!"
After listening to the military report from Wangsi, Li Keyong besieged Mozhou for more than a month. Lu Wenjin shouted at the top of the city that he wanted to surrender, and Keyong promised.
Shao Shude carefully recalled that Li Keyong didn't seem to have killed Jiang very much. After Meng Fangli, the commander of Zhaoyi Jiedu, committed suicide, the army promoted Meng Qian to be the queen of Jiedu. Meng Qian was fine after he surrendered, and he is still in Jinyang today.
A minor official.
Li Keyong’s reputation is actually not too bad!
However, Shan Keji was already killed, so why did Lu Wenjin surrender? Could it be that the casualties during the siege were too great and he couldn't stand it anymore? Or was there another reason? Not because of me, right?
Shao Shude tapped his fingers on the table, secretly thinking about how to stumbling upon his sworn brother.
Wang Rong!
Wang Rong's united front value suddenly increased.
And Luo Hongxin!
Hebei is like this. As the strongest among the five major vassal towns in Hebei, shouldn't Wei Bo have some reaction?
What about the vision of a grand alliance between the three towns in Hebei? Have they all been given up?
"Ask Pei Shangfu to come here, I want to write a letter." Shao Shude ordered.
Mrs. Pei was outside the door. Hearing this, she walked in with the female historian.
"Secretary" Du spread out her pen and paper and sharpened the ink herself.
Shao Shude thought for a moment. He suddenly discovered that Luo Hongxin's united front value seemed to be greater than that of Wang Rong. After all, Wei Bo had more soldiers, food, and money.
How to win over Wei Bo? What is Luo Hongxin’s request? What can I give? If he does not agree, what countermeasures or intimidation methods should be used? If this does not scare Luo Hongxin and his son, what should we do next?
?
Luo Hongxin's united front value is indeed great, but the possibility of wooing him is too low. Wang Rong is relatively small, but the possibility of wooing him is high.
How to strengthen Wang Rong's determination to resist Li? This guy seems to like to act according to the wind, has no sense of moral integrity, and is very slippery.
Shao Shude was thinking while writing. After finishing writing, he felt a little dissatisfied.
Wang Rong should not surrender now, but if he is beaten once or twice by Li Ke again, it will be difficult to say. How to operate?
"Du Shangyi, you have also seen the military report. What do you think should be done to cause trouble for Li Keyong?" Shao Shude looked at Du who was kneeling beside him and asked.
Mrs. Du hesitated to speak, which was not in line with the rules. If she spoke and let the outside world know, she would offend Chen Cheng, Zhao Guangfeng and other conspirators.
"Tell me." Shao Shude patted her buttocks and said.
"The king may send an envoy to contact the Khitan people. I heard that Gao Si went north to Khitan. The Gao family is also quite famous among the Xi and Shiwei tribes. Liu Rengong, the envoy of Yingping Town, may not be willing to listen to Li Keyong, but he may be able to win over him.
." Du Shi's heart skipped a beat and he said directly.
Shao Shude nodded slightly. This was actually the trick used by Zhu Liang in history. He sent envoys to the north to contact the Khitan to attack Li Keyong. This trick was used until the period of Li Cunxu. He was annoyed by the north-south flanking attack by the Back Liang and the Khitan.
Annoyed, seeing that he was about to be exhausted, he finally took a risk and made a miraculous comeback.
"Today's events are not allowed to be spread outside." Shao Shude suddenly woke up, glanced at everyone, and said.
All the female officials agreed.
"My sworn brother has his sister-in-law, Mrs. Liu, to offer advice, and I also have a beautiful woman who is resourceful." Shao Shude smiled and said, "But there is one drawback to this strategy."
Du Shi was puzzled.
"This may increase the Khitan's strength," Shao Shude said.
Yelu Abaoji's first leap in strength should be the attack on the Bohai Kingdom.
In the Northeast region, there once existed a powerful country: Goguryeo.
After the fall of Goguryeo, the remnants were still there. After Da Zuorong established the Zhen Kingdom, it was not a barbaric country. In fact, the culture and technology were still at a certain level. During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong, Da Zuorong was canonized as King of Bohae, and then he continued to send people
After studying in the Tang Dynasty, the country became more and more formal, with three provinces and six ministries, five capitals, fifteen prefectures, sixty-two prefectures, and more than 130 counties. There were governors, governors, military envoys and other officials to manage the local areas.
The city layout of the Bohai Kingdom is the same as that of the mainland, and the architectural style is also very similar. It currently has a population of more than one million, and is engaged in farming and animal husbandry, as well as weaving, iron smelting, and navigation technology at a very high level.
It was a tragedy that they were destroyed by the Khitan, and it was also a great boost for Yelu Abaoji, which greatly improved their iron smelting level. From then on, the output of weapons and armor increased dramatically, and they also had a stable farming area, and even shipping
Everything is done.
Of course, Abaoji also attached great importance to recruiting craftsmen from the Central Plains. During his previous trips south, the most important thing was to capture farmers and craftsmen, just like a human trafficker. In order to resettle these captive people, he specially built cities on the grasslands and appointed Han officials to manage them.
.
Years of war in Hebei have also produced a large number of refugees. The number of these refugees is even greater than those plundered by the Khitan. He had no choice but to take the initiative to flee to the Liao Kingdom.
"I don't want to make Yeluyi proud. I always feel that this is just drinking poison to quench thirst." Shao Shude said, "Let's contact Gao Siji and Liu Rengong secretly first."
Gao Siji would be under someone else's care now. Even if he contacted him, he probably wouldn't have much autonomy. Shao Shude didn't even want to find him, and Tingwangsi might not know his specific whereabouts.
Liu Rengong heard that he had made friends with Xi people in Yingping and Pingzhou, so he expanded his troops to five or six thousand.
Of course five or six thousand soldiers are not worth mentioning. But don't forget Liu Kutou's identity, a serious Youzhou native! Maybe he can use this identity to recruit rogues to resist Li Keyong, but I don't know if he dares.
