In fact, when Zhiyao returned to "Xintian", she received an apology from Zhao Wuxie, and Zhao Wuxie came directly to the door without sending anyone to notify him first.
There are two ways to understand this visit without sending anyone to notify you first. The first is that Zhao Wuji is sincere, and the other is that Zhao Wuji is completely sincere.
This is not meant to be a riddle. There have always been many explanations for the same thing. It depends on the mentality of the person involved and the subsequent understanding.
What Zhiyao knew was that Zhao Yang had revoked some of Zhao Wuji's rights.
Combined with the fact that Zhao Wuxie immediately apologized after learning that Zhiyao and Wei Ju returned to "Xintian", it is undoubtedly that Zhao Wuxie was beaten by Zhao Yang. Later, Zhao Wuxie approached Zhiyao and Wei Ju to apologize respectively.
Sincerely.
If you make a mistake, there's nothing you can do to improve it.
Zhiyao and Wei Ju raised the stakes that time. Are they willing to expose the matter after Zhao Wuxie apologizes? In addition, how outsiders view it is another matter. Zhao Wuxie is also doing it for others to see when he apologizes.
.
This time, Zhishen and Zhiyao came to "Handan" mainly to inspect the agricultural conditions, and then to see how much the use of new agricultural tools has helped agricultural production.
At present, agriculture in the Jin State is actually mostly people pulling plows. Only large families use animal power in large numbers, and the power used is not cattle.
The Central Plains is currently dominated by dry fields. Oxen are not the best draft animals, but horses are.
Of course, it has a lot to do with the fact that there is no shortage of horses in the Central Plains countries. Under the current situation of horse shortage, even horses are more suitable for pulling plows. Without horses, oxen can only be used.
Because the farming season has passed, there is definitely no plowing in the fields. What you can see is that various crops have grown and everything is green.
After summer, the farmland in the plains will still be green, but the difference is that the various fruits will become huge.
There is currently no large amount of rice cultivated in the Central Plains, with mostly broomcorn millet, millet, and bean sprouts, and a small amount of wheat or barley.
In terms of the eating habits of the Central Plains during the Spring and Autumn Period, only wealthy people would eat wheat or barley. The reason was that shelling was very troublesome. Ordinary people could not afford to do nothing else but just shell the wheat.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, wheat and barley existed in the summers? According to archaeological discoveries, the history of barley in the Central Plains can be traced back to 2000~1000 BC, while wheat began to be cultivated in the Yellow River Basin around 3000 BC.
The yield of current crops, no matter what species they are, is very average. One stone per acre is considered high yield, and two or three stone is unthinkable. Of course, there is a difference in the area of "mu" and the quality of the seeds.
It can also be related to chemical fertilizers.
"This is the place for fertilization?" Zhishen has already learned from Zhiyao what fertilization is, and has also heard about the process of fertilization, so he understands that it is a state of half-understanding.
There are too many things that Zhiyao does, most of them are just mentioned and then let people do special research, and a few of them personally participate in the research.
Because it is too salty and dirty, I will not describe in detail how to warm and fertilize it.
What you need to know is that unprocessed feces and urine really cannot be put directly into farmland, otherwise it will be harmful rather than beneficial.
Zhiyao has not yet been fully implemented in Zhishi. The experimental field in "Handan" still benefits from the long-term relationship with a large number of troops stationed in it, which facilitates unified collection and management.
In addition, animal feces can also be fermented and fertilized, and poultry is the best.
However, Zhiyao had not recovered yet and ignored it.
Of course, even if the feces of poultry is more fertile than humans or other animals, it is still very difficult to raise chickens, ducks, and geese in large numbers in the current era. A chicken plague or something can kill them all, even without regular feeding.
It will be a big problem.
Raising pigs also faces feeding problems. Although pigs are omnivorous livestock, how can we feed pigs when there is not enough food for humans?
So, the large-scale establishment of breeding farms actually depends on the era.
After a round of inspection, Zhishen clearly found that crops with regular fertilization grew much better than crops without fertilization.
"Why is it only implemented in this one place?" Zhishen asked.
Zhiyao said: "If it has not been verified, it cannot be promoted. Furthermore..., toilets need to be built and then educated."
The military can also specify where they must go to the toilet, and they will obey the management.
Speaking among the people, imposing administrative orders may not necessarily make people comply. Even in modern times, there are still a large number of people who go to relieve themselves everywhere.
Another point is that although it may not seem difficult to build a simple toilet, large-scale construction requires a lot of manpower and material resources. How to plan appropriately is another problem.
"If this is beneficial, then go ahead!" Zhishen only cares about whether he can collect an extra three to five dou, and the rest is nothing.
Zhiyao's reaction to Zhishen was not surprising.
No matter what age you are in, food is a necessity.
As long as there is no problem of hunger, not only will people's physical fitness be improved, but the population will also increase, which will further improve the quality of life.
To put it bluntly, it means having enough food and clothing and thinking about lust. There is no problem of eating, and the family can have surplus food. People know very well that increasing the population equals increasing the available labor force.
Instead of worrying about eating, people will start to use their brains to research entertainment projects in order to make life more colorful.
Having more children in a family will increase the labor force for the family, and it will have more effects on the country, including increasing the supply of soldiers.
They came to the area where water conservancy was being built and saw a large number of workers, including subjects and even more slaves.
The personal inspection from the head of the family is to show the importance of the family. Although the inspection seems to be a formality, it is not generally effective in motivating the people who are working.
"Why are the Chu people slaves and the Zheng people Li Shu?" Although Zhishen passed Zhi Yao's operation, he still had many questions.
Zhiyao replied: "Chu is a powerful country, and it is difficult for my family to tame it; Zheng is also a powerful country, and Zheng people are rarely proud. It is okay to live here and be born here."
The overall strength of Zheng is not bad, especially the combat effectiveness of the army may be insufficient compared to Jin or Chu, but it will be very strong against other countries.
Not only the state of Zheng was like that, but also the state of Qi.
For a long time, Qi could not defeat Jin, but they could pin Lu to the ground and beat them.
Therefore, which country is strong or not needs to be divided into different levels to see who it is fighting against. It cannot be simply generalized.
Zhiyao added: "If Chu comes to redeem me, I can exchange three for one."
In Zhiyao's opinion, the Chu State will definitely try to redeem the prisoners of war. The Zhi family will need more labor force. When the time comes, the decision will not be based on money and silk, but the Chu State will be asked to use people in exchange for the captured soldiers. The Chu State will surely be willing.
If the Chu State is willing to exchange cattle and sheep for people, that's fine. It just so happens that the Zhi family has recently acquired a large area of uninhabited land, which will not be transformed into an agricultural area for a while, so it is okay to engage in animal husbandry.
That piece of wilderness used to belong to Chang Di. They became victims in the confrontation between Jin and Qi. A large amount of land was divided between the Zhi family and the Zhao family. This is what is called two people quarreling, and then giving up to the third person who was watching.
Beaten.
Zhishen was most interested in agriculture, so after being taken to see various workshops by Zhiyao, he reinvested in agricultural inspections.
Don't blame Zhishen, he really can't understand various stoves, and when he saw coal washing, he felt that it was superfluous. He deliberately mentioned that Zhiyao should focus on the traditional business of Lao Zhi's family...that is, textiles.
He swallowed it back in his mouth.
Zhishi and Zhongxingshi merged again, and Qi State was hit continuously. More than 70% of the textile-related market share in Zhongyuan was taken by Zhishi.
Because of the Fan family's situation, the Zhao family and the Wei family successively seized the pottery market. This made the Wei family and Zhao family compete with each other.
Zhiyao rarely focuses on the textile industry, mainly because there are too many people in the family who know textiles and too few people who know other industries.
"It's not like I'm not paying attention at all. I'm researching a new spinning wheel, right? I just really don't understand. I don't even have relevant concepts, so I don't interfere indiscriminately." Zhiyao knew why Zhishen hesitated to speak.
, I thought helplessly.
Sometimes Zhiyao really wants to tell Zhishen something directly. For example, the Zhao family, Wei family and Han family are all engaged in military affairs, but the Xun family and Fan family are engaged in people's livelihood, which is why the Zhao family, Wei family and
The Han family eventually became the winner of the internal Shura battle in Jin.
After Zhiyao began to exert his efforts, what he did was to make up for Zhi's deficiencies in the military field. In terms of people's livelihood, he did not focus on textiles, but he did engage in agriculture.
Zhiyao advocated vigorously developing "Handan" and its surrounding areas. Although Zhishen did not have a long-term vision, he gave full support. The father and son had a unified will, and the rest of Lao Zhi's family could only carry out the order.
This is also something decided by the current era. Other members of a family only have the right to make suggestions and have no right to veto at all. Whatever the head of the family wants to do is done regardless of whether it is beneficial or harmful.
Aware of this social rule, Zhiyao came to the conclusion that the current era is far more suitable for large-scale industrial or agricultural projects than other feudal eras.
Precisely because the head of the family can make the final decision on everything, prosperity will be relatively simple, and whether it will decline will appear to be quite rapid.
"Posthumous Boyang is still in my house?" Zhishen asked.
I am now a consultant to Zhishi, and I have been helping to build water conservancy projects and check for omissions in other projects.
Zhiyao looked at Zhishen in confusion, wondering why she suddenly asked this.
Zhishen said: "The state of Chu sent people to 'Luoyi' to look for his posthumous name Boyang, and wanted to invite him to 'Ying'."
In the past, Zhiyao thought that I was a theoretical talent. It was not until I participated in the construction of Zhishi that I realized that I was not only good at talking on paper, but also very good at real work.
With this knowledge, Zhiyao couldn't help but guess what kind of construction the Chu State wanted to carry out by inviting me back.
Zhishen said: "In this case, the Chu people will come to 'Handan'."
Zhiyao knew there was more to come.
Sure enough, Zhishen continued: "It is rumored that the Wu army is planning to go north, and the Chu army has returned home."
Then what?
Zhao Yang has sent someone for the third time to urge Zhishen to return to "Xintian" quickly. In line with the principle that things should only be done three times, if he delays it any longer, he is deliberately not cooperating.
Therefore, Zhishen was hesitant about whether to wait for the Chu envoy to come over, mainly because it would appear disrespectful to the Chu State to let Zhi Yao have full authority to handle it.
