"Yes! I understand, I have followed the Prime Minister for a long time, and then I understand many truths. The people are precious and the king is despised! The emperor's grandfather never cared about the people's sentiments, and that was why the world was in chaos." Yang You sighed.

This thirteen-year-old boy, about to be fourteen, already has a hint of maturity on his face. Concubine Wei looked at her son and felt extremely satisfied. After all, she was her son and her lover. Perhaps she had a desire to use and compromise at first.

, after many in-depth exchanges, a heart was naturally attached to him.

This is what women are. Most women, after having a man, their whole heart will be with the man, unless they are heartbroken. (Don’t compare it with today’s materialistic women. At least when we were young, our feelings were still very pure.

!To commemorate the lost youth and the human heart changed by the world.)

The sensitivity of young people made Yang You aware of some changes in his mother early on. However, he knew that his mother's life had not been easy in recent years and she was finally settling down, so he was very considerate and did not mention it.

Of course, this is mainly because he also admires Zou Yu very much. He admires his ability to conquer Liaodong and defeat the Turks, and he also knows a lot. For example, the chair under his butt is covered with real leather on solid wood and filled with chicken and duck down. It looks like

It's very simple to make. Once you sit on it, you'll be halfway in. It's very comfortable.

With such a simple change, it is much more comfortable than kneeling on a bench or the like. Even if it is made of ordinary hardwood, you can lie on it.

The change of furniture made life full of surprises and more comfortable. At the enthronement ceremony, the groups of steel soldiers were so mighty and majestic. It made his young heart burst with passion, imagining that he could be the same as Zou Yu? Commander.

Thousands of troops? How satisfying it would be. But he also knew that this was impossible.

"You'er has grown up, and mother is relieved!" Concubine Wei sighed with a slight blush in her eyes.

"The Prime Minister said that spring plowing is about to begin. If the children are willing, they can wear casual clothes and participate in the work." Yang You said with a gentle smile.

"No! How could he let my son do menial work!" Concubine Wei said excitedly.

"Don't worry, mother and concubine, the Prime Minister is not asking the children to farm, but to learn with them. The Prime Minister said that people don't need to farm, but they must know how to farm. And this year's spring farming is different from previous years? See more? You can do better in the future.

Governing the place." Seeing his mother's excitement, Yang You explained a little awkwardly.

"Did he really say that?" Concubine Wei asked in surprise.

"Yes! What's wrong?" Yang You asked curiously.

"It's okay, it's okay. Mother is just too happy. Has my son really grown up? He is also sensible. He must follow the Prime Minister and learn from him, okay?" Concubine Wei shook her head and said with a smile on her face.

Didn't Yang You hear what Zou Yu meant? She did hear the underlying meaning, which meant that her son might be allowed to govern one party in the future.

Whether this is asking Yang You to govern the place, or simply giving guidance? At least it means that Zou Yu didn't even think about letting his son be a puppet? Nor did he think about being imprisoned in the future. Thinking of these, Concubine Wei couldn't help but feel a little sweet.

What Yang You said? This spring plowing is different, it is true. Since the beginning of the year, a lot of preparations have been made. First of all, it is to centrally resettle the people and re-plan the land.

According to the land equalization system of the Sui Dynasty, each person was assigned land based on the fertility of the land, ranging from dozens to hundreds of acres to twenty or thirty acres.

This depends on the fertility of the land and the amount of local land. Places with less land are called narrow townships, and places with more land are called wide townships. People in narrow townships will definitely have a harder life than those in wide townships, even if the taxes are lower.

This problem definitely did not exist under Zou Yu's rule, because there are open spaces everywhere. For better development, of course it is best to concentrate on it. After all, there is more power with more people.

Not to mention this era, even after the founding of the People's Republic of China in later generations, there were still a lot of barren mountains and wastelands, which were all cultivated collectively by the people of the country eating from a big pot.

Of course, there are still disadvantages to eating in a big pot, which Zou Yu has been trying to avoid. He works collectively and then distributes it to each household, so as to maximize the use of labor force.

Although it is difficult to leave one's homeland, due to the turmoil in recent years, people have long been accustomed to moving to avoid disasters and go out to work, so they are not too averse to moving. What's more, they are now moving to nearby cities, which is equivalent to changing their household registration from rural to urban.

Household registration.

The good news of a one-year tax exemption was announced two years ago, and after the autumn harvest, local people were organized to build houses, open up wasteland, and build water canals, all of which were provided with enough food for labor, so now under Zou Yu's rule, the government's reputation is still good.

Many beggar soldiers were discharged from the army and returned to their hometowns. Some brought their family members with them, while others brought back rewards and reliable news about Zou Yu.

Therefore, the relocation went very smoothly. Of course, Zou Yu spent a lot of money. The entire Yongfeng warehouse's grain was continuously transported to various places every month.

In each county, several officials went to Liaodong for inspection and training. At the same time, grain and vegetable seeds, poultry babies, and fruit tree seedlings mobilized from Liaodong were also transported to Youzhou, Yizhou, Bingzhou and other places.

What makes Zou Yu most confident is that there are many livestock now. Although there are not many cattle, there are many horses. Except for the strong war horses, the others are used to plow the land and pull goods.

There are also water trucks. Throughout the winter, plus the three months of spring, hundreds of large and small water trucks have been set up in various places to ensure that most of the land can be irrigated. This has undoubtedly reduced many things for people to do farming this year.

Can free up time to do more things.

There is no winter wheat, wheat in March, rice in April, beans in May, and sorghum in June. These are the main crops in the north.

In the past, there was a lot of land, so planting was done in rotation, and the planting method was very rough. Basically, the land was plowed, and then dug holes were dug and planted.

Now that we have livestock, it is much easier to plow the ground. We plowed it once in winter to kill the insects and freeze it. Now we plow it again, carefully cleaning the grass roots, and then spreading plant ash. Only then do we plant the seeds, and then pour farmyard manure. This is done.

All seeds are soaked in water and screened to make them plump. According to the experience of experienced farmers, an appropriate amount of seeds is put into each small hole.

It can be said that from plowing the ground to planting seeds, whether it is seed selection or fertilization, it is all intensive farming. In order to prevent rats, rabbits and birds from destroying the seeds, some small traps and scarecrows are set up on the edge of the ground, and patrols are also conducted at night.

This kind of patrol cannot be done by people walking around, nor does it light a fire and guard it by a few people. Instead, it uses a shengzi (square, a tool for measuring grain) on a wooden stick.

Push it. This will make a weird and dull sound, somewhat like the strange roar of a beast, which will spread far at night and scare away small animals.
