Tu Xingsun borrows the land to practice his magic, and goes back and forth on the battlefield to rescue people. Wherever he is needed, he will appear there.
He had just used the earth technique to escape here, but unexpectedly Hong Jin flashed out of the gate with a white flag.
Tu Xingsun was startled and realized that this was not the commander-in-chief of Chengtang's army. With such meritorious service coming to his door, how could Tu Xingsun push it aside?
Tu Xingsun slowly moved behind Hong Jin and suddenly came out. Hong Jin was unprepared and had no time to dodge and was hit on the head by Tu Xingsun with a stick.
Immediately, his body died and his spirit disappeared, and his true spirit went to the Conferred God Platform. This Hong Jin was originally married to Princess Longji, and he didn't want to be hit in the back of the head with a stick by Tu Xingsun and die.
Now that he is dead, the marriage with Princess Long Ji may not be continued. Could this be the legendary beating of mandarin ducks?
Not to mention that Tu Xingsun broke up the marriage between Hong Jin and Princess Longji with a stick.
When Hong Jin died, Chengtang's army lost its command and gradually became unable to resist. First, the losses in small battlefields could not be compensated, and finally it snowballed into a great rout.
Once Chengtang's army was defeated, Xiqi's generals became even more morale-driven and led their troops in pursuit until they were dozens of miles away before they stopped.
Except for those who were killed, only a small part of Chengtang's soldiers and horses escaped, and the rest were captured.
Since then, Chengtang's army has been defeated again.
The princes of the world saw that Chengtang was defeated again and again, and the Western Zhou Dynasty was invincible.
They all abandoned business and returned to the Zhou Dynasty, professed their vassal status, and invited King Wu to form an alliance in Mengjin to conquer Chengtang and end the turmoil in the world for decades.
When it was getting late and the golden crow hung in the west, the generals led their troops and captured baggage and escorted the prisoners back to Xiqi.
The following days were when Jiang Ziya was busy. He collected prisoners, counted battle achievements, distributed rewards according to merit, and received envoys from various princes. He was so busy that he never touched the ground.
Fortunately, Yang Tuo was responsible for sacrifices and education, and there were not many affairs. He would only go out when there was a big event, and it was still a leisurely job.
Yang Tuo discovered in the battle report that Hong Jin was killed by Tu Xingsun, and he was still confused for a moment. Didn't he remember that Hong Jin had a marriage with Princess Longji?
Why did he die on the battlefield?
Yang Tuo didn't know why, and finally attributed it to the huge changes in the catastrophe.
Although the war was over, Princess Long Ji did not return to Qingluan Dou Que in Fenghuang Mountain, but stayed in Xiqi to help Zhou conquer the Shang Dynasty.
Yang Tuo had no choice but to order Gao Ming and Gao Jue to burn incense and cleanse the room to prepare a residence for the princess.
On this day, Yang Tuo was very quiet and restless. Ever since he time traveled, he had been practicing Taoism or fighting. Only when he had just become a Golden Immortal, he went to the South China Sea for a while.
That also came and went in a hurry. Today, he realized that he had been in Xiqi for so long without going to see the living conditions of ordinary people in Xiqi.
Now that the war has stopped, preparations will be made to form an alliance in Mengjin to attack the merchants. Xiqi has stayed away from the war since then. Some of the knowledge he has gained from later generations can be used to improve people's lives, and he also plans to use it as appropriate.
But before that, we still need to look at the specific situation of the people in Xiqi and not just talk about it.
Yang Tuo was preparing to go out, but was discovered by Princess Longji.
Princess Longji saw that Yang Tuo wanted to understand the people's sentiments, so she couldn't help but want to take a look. As the daughter of the aloof Emperor of Heaven, she really had never seen the sufferings of the world.
Yang Tuo couldn't resist, so he had to take Princess Long Ji with him. Yang Tuo led two boys, Gao Ming and Gao Jue, and walked with Princess Long Ji to the outside of the city on foot instead of taking a car.
After several battles outside Xiqi City, it had long been beyond recognition. Fortunately, every time there was a battle, King Wu would send people to evacuate the people outside the city back into the city.
However, there was nothing that could be done about the farmland and houses outside the city. Many of them were completely destroyed due to wars. Therefore, the handling work after each war was extremely complicated. This was one of the reasons why Jiang Ziya was busy with affairs.
Fortunately, after the Xiqi War, there were always seizures and tributes from various princes, so that we could sustain the repeated destruction.
Yang Tuo and others walked outside the city. The battle had just ended. All the people outside the city were busy checking the losses of their homes.
Those who have suffered no losses are elated, while those who have suffered heavy losses cry for their parents.
Some houses were destroyed, some fields were trampled, and some mountains and rivers were smashed, and they couldn't even find their homes.
Fortunately, Jiang Ziya sent a special person to take charge of this matter and provide compensation for the suffering people. Although they could not return to their previous lives, they would not starve to death on the roadside.
I have to say that King Wen and King Wu still deserve the title of Holy Lord, and many of the people under their rule live and work in peace and contentment. In this turbulent era, that is very rare.
The Western Zhou Dynasty followed the "well field system", which meant that every eight households were equally allocated a field of the same length and width, and then divided equally into nine fields. Each family planted the field next to their own and handed over one-tenth of the harvest to the state.
Everyone can plant the remaining piece in the middle. The grain harvested from this piece of land belongs entirely to the state, and the eight families collectively pay taxes to the state.
The harvest of the public fields all depends on the public spirit of the people of the eight families. Sometimes it is normal for only weeds to be left in the fields after a year.
However, the people of Xiqi were grateful for the kindness of King Wen and King Wu, and they took care of the public fields very carefully.
Therefore, the grain and grass collected by Xiqi always exceeded that of other princes. Day after day, Xiqi's royal paradise was created.
Although the people of Xiqi are already living a very good life in the whole world.
However, in Yang Tuo's view, it is still very difficult, and often there is not much food left throughout the year.
After Yang Tuo looked at it, he only felt that the common people at any time were a group of people who had a hard time. Even in this world full of immortals and gods, they still had to rely on their own hard-working hands and hard work to gain a little meager harvest.
Yang Tuo looked around carefully and had some concerns in his mind.
The yield of this grain mainly depends on the three factors of heaven, earth, and people, as well as the quality of the seeds.
Seeds have been selected by governments since ancient times, and the improvement of seeds does not happen overnight.
Then there are the three factors of heaven, earth and man. Heaven refers to the time of day, and the amount of rain directly determines the yield of food.
Land refers to the geographical location, the fertility of the land, the location of the fields and the irrigation conditions. Farming cannot completely rely on the weather, and when to irrigate is also a top priority.
As for people, it refers to the technology of farming. Some people are good at planting and have high yields, while others have poor skills and low yields.
This requires someone to summarize experience and pass on useful experience to everyone, so that everyone can learn and make progress together.
After going around in a circle, Yang Tuo found that there wasn't much he could do.
He summarized a few points. The first one is to do a good job in seed screening, select better seeds, and improve them from generation to generation. We also need to let the government select more types of edible grains.
Second: Send people to inspect the fields with high harvests, summarize the experience, and spread it to the world. Then you need to improve farm tools and increase efficiency.
Third: Build an irrigation system and plan the use of water sources. You must also find ways to increase the fertility of the fields.
Fourth, summarize the celestial phenomena and let the people know when to do what. They cannot just rely on experience. More rain prevents floods, less rain prevents drought.
As long as we can do more of these four points, people's lives will be better.
