Gently opening the folded rice paper, Liu Tiejiang showed a nonchalant expression after looking at it for a while.
"Instruct the craftsman's workshop to make two hundred pairs according to this style." Jia Rong said slowly.
"Yes!" Liu Tiejiang replied immediately.
Based on Blacksmith Liu's many years of experience in blacksmithing, he could naturally tell that this thing was used for plowing, but the style was incompatible with previous plow styles. All he had to do was carry out Jia Rong's order.
After that, Jia Rong and Liu Tiejiang talked about the daily work of the workshop. After chatting for a while, Liu Tiejiang gradually relaxed and kept complaining to Jia Rong.
Blacksmith Liu could take over Blacksmith Liu's position. This condition was so attractive that many blacksmiths openly challenged Blacksmith Liu. Thanks to Blacksmith Liu's reputation, they were defeated.
Jia Rong said with a smile: "Only through constant competition can we progress faster!"
The plow drawn by Jia Rong is naturally a plow from later generations. The sharp point on the front of the plow can reduce the resistance brought by the ground and make the land cultivated faster. After the plow was built, it was first promoted in Beidi County, and then
I believe I can make a lot of money by selling this creation to Mi Zhu.
The craftsmen's workshops in Beidi County quickly became famous in Beidi County. Merchants also came to Beidi County in an endless stream to sell iron materials. There were merchants wherever there was profit. The constant flow of merchants also added to the desolate Beidi County.
A hint of prosperity.
The heavy snow fell from the ninth day, and the ground was soon covered with a layer of white carpet. Standing in the courtyard, looking at the world covered in silver, Jia Rong suddenly felt worried. The heavy snow reflected the current situation.
It is very likely to cause a snow disaster. Most of the houses that people lived in in ancient times were thatched houses. They were crumbling under the normal strong winds and heavy rains. If the snow piled up, most of the houses might collapse because of it, and the mood of enjoying the snow would disappear in an instant.
Without a trace.
Unlike in the past, the snow this year was particularly heavy.
Zhang Li paced anxiously in the prefect's mansion. The heavy snowfall overnight caused many houses in the city to collapse, and bad news came one after another.
"Brother Zirong, I was knocked unconscious by you for a while. Sit down and have a rest." Jia Rong took a sip of hot tea and said. After all, Zhang Li is still a fledgling scholar and lacks the good demeanor to remain calm despite the collapse of Mount Tai.
Psychological quality.
Zhang Li had just sat down when he heard footsteps coming from outside the door. He stood up suddenly, pulled the soldier in white snow and asked: "Is there another house accident?"
Jia Rong stood up and pulled Zhang Li aside and said: "Brother Zirong, you are also the long history of the prefecture. You must be stable at the critical moment, otherwise what will happen to the people below."
The soldier clasped his fists and replied: "General, a thousand soldiers are waiting outside the prefect's mansion!" Jia Rong is now the prefect of Beidi County, but the soldiers in the army still call him general.
Jia Rong pressed Zhang Li forcefully on his seat and said, "Brother Zirong, please stay in the Prefect's Mansion now while I take people to deal with the snow disaster."
Jia Rong, dressed in military uniform, appeared in front of the gate of the prefect's mansion. It was hard to imagine that there were a thousand soldiers standing in front of the gate of the prefect's mansion.
Jia Rong said: "Now the troops are divided into ten groups, gathering the people whose houses collapsed, and trying to satisfy the people's demands as much as possible. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" A thousand soldiers roared in unison, causing the falling snowflakes to shake slightly. The snow on the branches in the distance was shaken and fell from the trees, making a puffing sound.
Although this snowstorm caused many houses to collapse, fortunately no people died.
Jia Rong arranged for these people to live in the military camp. Now there are many houses in the camp in Beidi County, so it would be a good idea to arrange for these refugees to live.
The warehouse in Beidi County was cleaned again, and bedding and other heating items were sent to the military camp.
Looking at the brand new bedding and hot meals, many people shed tears of gratitude. A highly respected old man said with the support of the soldiers: "The prefect is a good man. If the prefect is useful in the future, everyone will
Be sure not to refuse."
Although all the people have no guarantees about what will happen in the future, the gratitude in their eyes is self-evident.
Accompanied by Zhang Li, Jia Rong arrived at the temporary residence of the people. Looking at the people standing straight and the old people supported by the soldiers, Jia Rong personally helped the old man sit down by the bed. Although it was a show.
Suspicion, but it made the trembling old man in front of him very excited. The old man with ravaged hands took Jia Rong and said: "You are a good official!" After saying this, he was so excited that he could not speak, and his muddy old tears were in his eyes.
His eyes kept spinning.
Jia Rong comforted the old man for a few words, looked at the people, and said with a smile: "Why are you all standing? The food is not delicious?"
The people said in unison: "No, no..."
"Then sit down and eat quickly. The food will get cold soon. If you are my soldiers, you have to stand for me even if you want to sit down."
The soldiers who followed Jia Rong straightened their chests. In their opinion, being mentioned by Jia Rong was a very honorable thing.
The atmosphere also relaxed from the solemnity just now. The soldiers and people in the north were all rough and simple. After working for so long, they were really hungry. They drank the hot soup in the bowl and kept eating the cakes in their hands.
Put it into your mouth and clean the food in front of you with three strokes, five divisions and two strokes.
Seeing many young and middle-aged people looking like they were still unsatisfied, Jia Rong said with a smile: "Everyone, feel free to eat, I promise you won't go hungry." After saying that, Jia Rong also sat cross-legged on the ground and picked up a bowl handed by the soldier.
After drinking the bowl of hot soup, the people who ate it were slightly better than the people just now.
The eating look of the prefect in front of them made many people cover their mouths and snicker. Unknowingly, the distance between them and Jia Rong has also become much closer. What the people need is not to lead the soldiers with official authority and show off their power everywhere.
Officials who are afraid of others are parents who are willing to share hardships with them.
Jia Rong ate three large cakes in a row and drank two bowls of hot soup. Then he burped with satisfaction and stood up, saying, "This soup tastes good."
This moment was very painful for Zhang Li. He could neither stand nor sit next to Jia Rong. Seeing Jia Rong's uncomplimentary expression, Zhang Li deeply regretted coming all the way with Jia Rong.
The faces of the people who had eaten and drank had improved a lot, and they all looked at Jia Rong quietly.
Jia Rong touched his face and asked, "Did the rice just stain your face? You ate in a hurry and didn't pay attention." After that, he wiped his face randomly with his hand.
Jia Rong's funny behavior caused everyone to chuckle. Even Zhang Li, who had a straight face, couldn't hold back his laughter. Looking at the unpretentious prefect who was eating with them in front of them, everyone felt warm in their hearts. Although Jia Rong
Rong's way of doing things is very casual, but it suits the taste of everyone in front of him. Thinking of being displaced by the snowstorm, being taken in by the prefect, and sharing the joys and sorrows with him, many people's eyes are red.
Jia Rong said: "You don't have to worry about housing problems. When the spring comes after the new year, I will organize everyone to rebuild houses together to ensure that your houses will no longer collapse due to minor snowstorms. You can also live in the military camp with peace of mind."
If you need anything, just tell me."
In order to find a reason for them to accept it with peace of mind, Jia Rong continued: "Of course, I will take back the money you spent on food and accommodation this winter!"
Looking at everyone's nervous faces, Jia Rong said with a smile: "The money for food and accommodation will be your wages for building houses next year. You must work hard then, or I will ask you for it back."
Some people clapped their chests and said, "Don't worry, sir. If anyone is lazy, I won't let him go."
A bold commoner stepped forward and asked: "Sir, are we still recruiting soldiers in Beidi County?" Many young and middle-aged men cast their eager eyes.
"Soldiers must be recruited. When foreign bandits invade, we will still have to rely on our local people to kill the enemy! At that time, those of you will be the source of our soldiers in Beidi County, and the responsibility of defending our homeland will also fall on you.
On the shoulders." Jia Rong said slowly.
Many young and middle-aged people showed yearning on their faces, and even the old men who had always been afraid of government conscription continued to encourage the younger generation to join Jia Rong's army.
After arranging the food and accommodation for the people, Jia Rong left the camp.
This snowstorm caused the displacement of hundreds of households, which undoubtedly added a layer of frost to the already stretched Beidi County. Houses collapsed in other counties. The county magistrates who were instructed by Jia Rong will
People affected by the disaster gathered together and provided accommodation.
A friend in need is a friend indeed. Jia Rong's current efforts have increased the attachment of all the people. Even if foreign soldiers invade, they dare to pick up farm tools to resist. This is all a story later.
There are about 5,000 refugees gathered in the entire Beidi County. If it were not for the temporary friendship with the rich man Mi Zhu, I am afraid that many people in Beidi County would freeze to death and starve to death this time.
In just the past month, documents indicating that the counties had run out of food were sent to the Prefecture of Beidi County.
The four major aristocratic families in Beidi County were eager to see Jia Rong's joke, so how could they help him? In the eyes of these aristocratic families, their family was the first, and state affairs were put second.
At the same time, some people have no food in their homes, and some people have not even eaten for a day. Now the tax of the Han Dynasty is one out of ten, which is relatively heavy. In addition, the harvest is not good, many people have no food in their homes.
After the patrolling soldiers realized the situation, they lost a lot of Jia Rong's hair. Now the food in Beidi County can only last for seven days. After seven days, all the people and soldiers will have to drink the northwest wind to survive.
Even if they starve to death, all the people in the county will starve to death together. From now on, whatever these people eat, all officials will eat accordingly. This was the final order given by Jia Rong.
When this order spread throughout Beidi County, many people shed tears.
