Chapters 23 to 24: The wings are getting richer (1)
In March, spring is here.
A vast field, the breeze, with the fragrance of the soil, rippling large areas of newly grown wheat, neatly divided into small pieces, and the farmers filled it with dots, working diligently.
The sky is filled with birds flying happily, surrounded by mountains in the distance, and the green shadows of the mountains and lush fields are so harmonious.
Twenty horses were connected in sound, patrolling the road.
When we arrived in front of a village, the cavalry team slowed down and everyone was looking at a village where the brick walls were built.
"Sir, why are you allowed to build this village and live together with your clans?" Xue Yuan stepped forward and whispered.
He Wulang's fifty soldiers will obtain land according to the system. He moved here again and concentrated his clan members to build a village with 200 households. According to this situation, he will be a local tyrant in the future.
Wang Shoutian smiled slightly: "The way to govern is to speed up the people. If you are in a hurry, you should not be impatient. If you are in a hurry, you will become more chaotic; if you are in a hurry, you should not disturb the people. If you are in a hurry, you will not be punished."
Seeing Xue Yuan confused, he said again: "The way of the ruler lies in making tools!"
In the 21st century, the general view is that people and military governance will be broken and reorganized, but this is maintained by an unprecedented tool for modern modern countries.
In ancient times, this weapon was not available. Therefore, if you deal with the clan and clan relatives, if you force it, it would be violent and unjust, and it would go against the people's sentiment and intentions. In fact, if you do something to waste the people and hurt the people, it will inevitably lead to serious consequences. Wang Shoutian is very clear about this.
If a person walks too fast, he will fall; if the string is too tight, he will break.
For the benefit of the ruler, the law is too urgent, and the subordinates and the people will resist, just like the line of reasoning. The more you make the rule, the more chaotic it becomes. This is the profound truth of governing the country.
But Wang Shoutian, in his previous life, did not understand this principle and failed.
In this life, we naturally know how to determine the right position. We gather together and build villages to protect ourselves. In this era, it is common sense. How can we lose our hearts when we are reckless and messy?
He Wulang wants to build Hejia Village, and he will go there. As long as he keeps improving, he will be able to accommodate and digest it.
Seeing that Xue Yuan was still thinking, Wang Shoutian didn't say much, but pointed to the flood trucks and said, "From this situation, the cultivation is good!"
"Sir, 10,000 mu of land have been reclaimed, spring wheat has been planted, and 5,000 mu of land are still planted, which are rice farming and seedlings. Early rice is sown at the end of this month and transplanted by April. Therefore, a total of 40,000 mu of land will be reclaimed before planting in April."
"The busiest time in April and May is to plant rice seedlings first, then harvest wheat. After everything is done, it is to divide the fields."
"Yeah, thank you for your hard work." Wang Shoutian said, thinking about it, and then said: "Planting rice seedlings in rice fields seems to be able to dump seedlings, which saves a lot of people's strength."
"...Why did you say this?" Xue Yuan raised his head suddenly and asked in shock.
Serve transplanting is a common method for planting seedlings in rural areas, also known as planting fields. Generally, seedlings can be transplanted when they grow 3-5 inches long, which is called transplanting.
The first day of transplanting rice seedlings is called "opening the seedling door". The housewife must prepare food, wine and meat for the family and helpers to have a meal. After the transplanting rice seedlings is called "closing the seedling door". On the dinner on the day of transplanting rice seedlings, the owner will invite the helpers to "break". When planting rice seedlings, in addition to three meals a day, dim sum must be added twice.
This process is very hard and consumes a lot of money and food.
"...When the rice grows into seedlings, throw it in the field when it is not tall. Unlike transplanting rice, it is thrown directly into the field by hand, which is more time-saving and lighter than transplanting rice."
"..." Xue Yuan stared at Wang Shoutian, as if he was looking at a man who "why not eat meaty" who planted rice seedlings, but the farming that has been circulated since ancient times, the lord changed his words.
Looking at his eyes, Wang Shoutian smiled helplessly. Not to mention this era, even in the 1990s on Earth, he was still planting rice seedlings. When he was seven or eight years old, he helped his grandmother plant rice seedlings. He had a deep understanding of this hard work.
When he was in his twenties, he changed it to dumping seedlings, which could greatly reduce the intensity of labor. This is certain. Originally, one acre required 3 to 5 manual labor, but now he only had one person to dump seedlings in the paddy fields. This was his own experience.
With personal experience and according to data, this not only reduces labor costs and saves labor, but also saves seedling fields, which improves labor efficiency by 5 to 8 times. At the same time, there is no slowing seedling period. It can be used to increase the yield of some grain per mu compared to hand-planted rice fields.
However, like the nature of Hejia Village, this matter is more difficult or not. Wang Shoutian smiled slightly and said, "This method does not need to be promoted. You can make a hundred acres of paddy fields from 10,000 mu and try to throw the seedlings. If it fails, of course I won't mention it. If it succeeds, I will promote it in the future."
In the previous life, Wang Shoutian was in a hurry, but the string was too tight and broke, and he could not see any benefits. He only saw his mistakes. For example, the throwing of seedlings was a personal passage, which must be a good method. However, if it is forcibly promoted and the public resented it, they would be afraid that there would be a disaster of overturn immediately. At that time, even if it was proven to be a good method in the future, he would have died and his clan was destroyed. What's the benefit?
Just like Emperor Yang of Sui opened a canal and conquered Goryeo, it was beneficial to descendants for thousands of generations, but it led to the collapse of the world and the death of the clan!
How could Wang Shoutian be so unwise?
Sure enough, after hearing Wang Shoutian say this, Xue Yuan immediately returned to his original respectful look and said, "Lord, wise."
After the inspection, the group rode back to the city and arrived at the middle district of the city. Xue Yuan immediately bowed his fists and said, "Sir, I'm leaving."
Wang Shoutian nodded with a smile and turned toward the military camp.
Given that the county town had already had thousands of households and had obtained the approval of the commander to build the fifth battalion, the military camp immediately became busy, and the old camp had another job to recruit new recruits from the fifth battalion.
The source of recruits is somewhat complicated. Some are from the He family, some are young and strong in the county, some are recruited from the entire Wenyang Town, and some are from Wang Shoutian's villagers, and some are from the villager brought by Chai Jia from his hometown not far from a hundred miles away.
Now these people form the fifth battalion and train hard. Of course, the fifth battalion plus the second battalion means the seventh battalion, which exceeds the organization, but after the training of the new recruits, only six or seven passes, and the unqualified ones are eliminated, the fifth battalion is.
For these recruits, in the first month, they learned to line up, and they were no longer gun camps, but were training more concentratedly on the sword and shield camps and bow and arrow camps, and the cavalry finally formed a team.
In practice, Wang Shoutian listened to actual opinions and added several clauses, that is, the Arch Battalion is only responsible for shooting and does not fight face to face, and the danger is far less than that of the hand-to-hand combat troops. In order to balance, shooting three people only costs one person to kill.
Secondly, killing bandits and bandits only requires half of the merit.
Again, in order to encourage hard training in the army, one-tenth of the army's martial arts skills will be selected to be treated as elite soldiers. However, the assessment will be lagged behind next month and will be immediately cancelled. Those who kill people and get the title of elite soldiers will never be cancelled. Fire Chief can participate in the assessment. Fire Chief or above will not participate in the assessment.
At this time, I saw 700 people in the camp, with continuous training and veteran demonstrations. The training of new recruits was much smoother. This was the herd mentality, and Wang Shoutian was very satisfied.
In the team, although Chai Jia was the leader of the team, he was still practicing. Although it was March and the temperature was very low, he was only wearing a single dress and sweating profusely.
Chai Jia has joined the team since he met the coach and promoted him to the team, so everyone has nothing to say, but after all, he is a little contemptuous. Chai Jia also knows this truth. In order to show that he is not a lucky person, he automatically participates in the training and works very hard.
Wang Shoutian was also allowed to do so. After one training was completed, Wang Shoutian ordered his personal soldiers to call Chai Jia: "You go and wipe your sweat and change your clothes, I will have something to ask you."
"Yes, sir!" Chai Jia responded. He hurried to the barracks. After a moment, he was dressed neatly and came out.
"Chai Jia, I heard that your brother Chai Maosen has arrived. I wonder what he was doing?"
"Master, my brother was originally a lieutenant from Yanshan County. After hearing that I was a team leader, I knew that my lord was wise and wise, so I brought my whole family to join him." Chai Jia bowed and said, "My brother and I are willing to serve the lord, and I hope the lord will take him in."
Wang Shoutian showed joy on his face and said, "Chai Jia, you are a talented person of hundreds of people, and your brother must be a great talent. I would like to see him immediately and ask you to introduce him."
Let’s not talk about whether he is really a talented person. His attitude is indeed very good.
"Dare you not obeying your order?" Chai Jia was overjoyed and said quickly.
After leaving the military camp, the military camp and ordinary civil yard have isolation areas, hundreds of meters away. Those who dare to approach will be arrested immediately.
After a while, I arrived at Minfang District. When I arrived at a place, I saw Chai Jia suddenly saying, "Sir, please see, this is Brother She."
Wang Shoutian looked up and saw a rice shop. A man was bargaining with the owner of the shop. The man was about thirty years old, with a pretty face, some long beard, wearing a square scarf, and a Confucian shirt. He didn't look new, and the fabric was not very good, but it was washed very clean.
This person asked the store owner to be cheaper.
The owner of the store refused: "Oh, sir, I am already very cheaper. I have just opened it here, so it's cheaper. It's cheaper, so I can't give it anymore."
The man smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, Wenyang Mansion, you will be worth one or four cents of silver per stone rice, but you will be worth one or six cents of silver per stone rice. This is one or four cents of silver. How can you not reduce it?"
The shop was stunned and met someone familiar with the market. He shook his head helplessly and said, "Wenyang Mansion is at this price, but it also requires a shipping fee. Let's do this. I will only reduce it by one or two or five cents at most. I will not accept it any more."
The man smiled and said, "So, thank you for the store."
He took out the silver and money from his pocket. At this time, Wang Shoutian's heart moved. This person knew very well about people's livelihood. When he looked up, he saw that the person was slightly white in his head, but his natal energy was only white, so he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
But after thinking about it, he laughed at himself: "How can there be so many innate destiny in this world who are judging the county magistrate?"
Thinking of it, he turned over and got off the horse and stepped forward.
At this time, the man also saw a group of people supported by his personal soldiers, and saw a young man in the lead. As soon as the young man approached, he bowed and bowed to him: "Is this Mr. Chai?"
"I dare not, may I be the Lord of the County?" The man hurriedly replied and said.
