After all, the soldiers from Jiangdong did not withdraw from the land of Baiyue. Sun Ce said nothing, but urged Zhou Yu to go to Chaisang and train more soldiers.
That night, Sun Quan paid a night visit to the injured Zhou Tai. The two of them talked until midnight before the young man resigned.
A few days later, Xu Gong's disciples were looking for the Yan family's old party, and were discovered by the Gu family, a wealthy family in Dongjun. Gu Yong admired Sun Quan very much because of his work as a slave in Baiyue.
The Sun brothers were on the verge of fighting against each other, and the four families in Wu County found out in one night.
Zhu Zhi, Lu Xun, Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong seemed to have seen the hope of the family regaining control of Jiangdong, and they were under Xu Gong's subordinates, as long as they appeared to be respectful to the county governor.
Sun Ce's death was almost over, but he still didn't know it. The last glimmer of hope was only in the letter left by Fang Guang.
Xuchang, today is the day when Cao Cao and the late Emperor returned to the city. It is also the seventh day after the farming season, the best time for autumn plowing.
Three days ago, Liu Shao brought 100,000 refugees, who were scattered in the countryside of Xuchang. They were piled on top of each other. At a glance, they were all heads.
There are many ownerless lands in Yuzhou, but how to belong to them is still a matter of choice.
If Xun You succeeds in farming, the land in Yuzhou will still be owned by the family, and there will be hundreds of thousands of refugees. Only the strong ones can be selected by the Xun family and the rest of Yuzhou. They will just make a living for the rest of their lives.
If Shi Guangyuan wins, all the vast hectares of fertile land in Yingchuan will become land for farming. One hundred thousand refugees can work together with their wives and children and their families, and have children and heirs. They may even have the opportunity to enroll in Datong University, just like Dongjun.
's school.
Which one is better and which one is worse, everyone in the world naturally understands it.
When Liu Shao brought the refugees, all the Yellow Turban tribesmen gritted their teeth and wanted to help Datong's subordinate Shi Tao defeat Xun You's son-in-law.
The people of the Yellow Turban knew the importance of this matter, so they selected five thousand strong men from among one hundred thousand people, but they could only cultivate a hundred acres of land for fifty people to cultivate it carefully, and they could not beat Xun You.
Unexpectedly, Fang Guangqi didn't care about this matter. He just asked Liu Shao for two thousand to be strong and strong. In addition, he wanted to choose some young women, the best ones who could lower their waists.
Liu Shao didn't understand the meaning and thought that Mr. Datong was diverted by aesthetics and began to favor women from the working people to fill the inner courtyard.
He carefully selected two hundred girls, all with soft waists and beautiful faces, just waiting to be used today.
Since the Qin Dynasty, cultivating the land has been a major event, and there should be sacrificial ceremonies.
The important things of the country are the military and the sacrifice, and when the world is in chaos, the people are farming and do not pay attention to these. Now that Yuzhou is stable, no one dares to attack Boss Cao for the time being, and the farming is strong, so naturally he will follow.
Students in the Han Dynasty had to learn sacrificial rituals when they were studying at Imperial College.
At that time, Wang Mang had three thousand students who sat on high platforms and summoned ghosts and gods.
This style gradually declined in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but in later generations, Zhuge Liang offered sacrifices to the wind and Sima Yi prayed for rain, and they still had this ability.
Xun You was proud that he was a disciple of his family and a leader of the Yingchuan family. When the time came, he built a high platform outside the city of Xuchang, next to the land allocated to him.
On the high platform, there is a statue of Houji, the god in charge of agriculture and mulberry, enshrined.
Xun You acted vigorously just to suppress Shi Tao, but he did not expect that almost all the people watching the excitement in Xuchang City gathered under the high platform where Shi Tao was.
Even many descendants of the aristocratic families, including members of the Chen family who were massacred that day, secretly hid under the high platform on Shi Guangyuan's side, watching Shi Tao do what he did.
Compared to Xun You, there is no statue of Hou Ji enshrined here. Shi Guangyuan, wearing a high crown and a white brocade robe, puts his hands behind his back and recites strange formulas. Compared with Hou Ji, he is a bit more elegant and suave.
"The field man throws the rice seedlings and the field woman catches them. The young boy pulls out the rice seedlings and the older one plants them. They change the canal and rest for a while before eating. They bow their heads and don't answer!"
As Nanyang celebrities came out with Yangko thousands of years in advance, the women selected by Liu Shao in the audience also started reciting along with him.
The girl's voice was clear, and while she was reciting, she also lowered her waist to make farming movements, which was so graceful that she attracted admiration from the people.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was already rice farming on both sides of the Pearl River and in the countryside east of the Yangtze River, and there was also some rice transplanting.
It's just that Yuzhou is located in the Central Plains, and autumn plowing has always only grown wheat and beans, especially beans, which are the most important food for the people during the winter.
There are not many fertile fields in Kyushu that can produce two kinds of fertile fields in a year. Half of the fertile fields in the world are in Yingchuan.
The people here rarely transplant rice seedlings. As Fang Guang chanted, those strange people lived next to the fields filled with water by barrel carts. The ox carts brought plants that looked like grass. The people of Xuchang started talking about it one after another.
stand up.
"What is this? When the fields are filled with water, the wheat and bean seedlings are unable to germinate. I originally thought it was Mr. Datong who didn't know how to grow mulberry trees, but now it seems that there is something else wrong!"
"You don't know Nongsang? Do you know that Dongjun's warehouses are full? Do you know where the lord's army supplies the most food now? Mr. Shi, I was born in Dongjun!"
"Injecting water naturally has the purpose of injecting water. I have heard people say that in the land of Jiangdong, the rice grains are white and like millet. They are grown in paddy fields. It is only in Yuzhou that no one has ever grown such things.
of."
"I have eaten a few white grains of corn before. Steam them in a bamboo tube and they are very delicious! I don't know what these seeds look like. But are they also grains?"
"No, rice planting is not about planting pellets into the soil, but transplanting seedlings into the ground. I was also in Nanhai County and saw the governor of Shixie planting this kind of rice. I didn't expect that Datong would actually plant it without telling him about it.
He also knows how to grow rice.”
"Grow rice seedlings in Dongjun and plant them widely in Yuzhou! We are born with great unity, and no one will die from hunger here again!"
Several old men were bragging, and suddenly a sickly middle-aged man appeared, appearing to be well-informed, which immediately aroused the old man's dissatisfaction.
"Who are you? Those are obviously weeds, but where are the seedlings?"
"Old man, what are you talking about? You are so brave that you dare to talk to Captain Shi like this?"
"What do you know? Captain Shi Huan is a master who specializes in farming and mulberry under the command of Mr. Datong. Many rare things in the world were brought by Colonel Shi Huan!"
"Just for the rice seeds, the captain brought no less than twenty kinds from Nanhai County. The ones planted here are carefully selected. If the captain doesn't understand, only Mr. Fang in the world does!"
The old man was showing off, which immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the sick middle-aged man and several young men behind him.
When they heard that the man in front of them was a school lieutenant, or a school lieutenant who specialized in farming and mulberry fields, the old men were so frightened that they stopped talking.
Shi Huan didn't care, as his body had already recovered a lot from the miasma. When he saw the rice seedlings in front of him, Shi Huan's mouth slowly opened, as if he had seen the grand scene of the fields full of grains three months later.
"The auspicious time has come to plant the seeds!"
Following the recitation of an old man with a gray beard, Shi Tao and Xun You scattered the bean seeds in their hands into the soil at the same time.
Seeing that Shi Guangyuan used less fertilizer than himself, Xun You couldn't help but feel a flash of joy on his face.
In his opinion, the victory this time must be achieved by Fang Guang's way and Fang Guang's body!
