Chapter 0140 Advanced Productivity Promotes Social Progress
Spring has begun, and it’s time to plow the land. Although the imperial court will definitely ask Li Hui of Nanzhong to send surrendered prisoners here, but everyone came to Hanzhong in a swarm, and that small number of people were there twelve hours a day.
It cannot be used even if it is soaked in the ground for cultivation.
Besides, Li Hui was on the defensive at this time. How many people could he get? Two to three thousand people would be enough to support him.
How much can two or three thousand people do if they are placed in Hanzhong?
The last glance will definitely fall on the head of the Qiang Di man.
A rabbit can still bite people when it is in a hurry, but a barbarian can't farm? It doesn't matter, just study hard. If you can't learn, just eat a few hungry meals, and you will definitely be able to farm.
This winter, I guess many people will be a little restless.
"By the way, brother, I also met an acquaintance in Yang'an Pass."
"Acquaintance? What acquaintance?"
Feng Yong was curious, thinking that Zishi would have any acquaintances here? Could it be that he followed Wang Ping to fight here before, and who else did he know?
"It's Zhuangzi next door to my brother Zhuangzi, and the owner of the village is Taigong Li."
"who?"
Feng Yong raised his eyebrows in disbelief, "Tai Gong Li of Li Zhuang? Did you read that correctly?"
The foundation of the sixth house of the Li family is over there in Jincheng. If Taigong Li is not staying in Jincheng, what is he doing here?
"How could I get this wrong? At that time, Taigong Li even said a few words to me. He also asked my brother if he had decided on a place to live. From what he heard, he wanted to visit him at home."
The head of the sixth house of the Li family, although he is not the eldest, he still has the surname of Shu. He comes to visit a young boy like me?
"Why did he come to Hanzhong?" Feng Yong seemed to be talking to himself or asking.
"I heard that the Li family also spent a lot of money and food to cultivate this land in Hanzhong."
I never thought that Wang Xun would still know the answer.
"A lot?" Feng Yong thought for a while, nodded and said, "It should be a lot. Otherwise, even the head of the family would not have followed."
But where are they going to get this plow?
It's not that Feng Yongyong believes in the energy of the family, they will definitely be able to get it, but when they can get it, that is a question that must be considered.
Being able to get it in a year or two and getting it before spring next year have completely different meanings.
Farming is busy, why is it called farming?
It’s because you only have so little time for farming. If you miss the season, the harvest of that season will be gone.
Therefore, farmers will be very busy at specific times.
If the Li family had not obtained the eight-niu plow before spring plowing, all the manpower and material resources they invested would have been wasted.
The fact that Taigong Li is here means that they are fully confident and are bound to win. Otherwise, if the head of the family is already here, is he just here to take a look?
But where do they put Old Demon Zhuge?
How could Old Demon Zhuge let those aristocratic families safely use eight ox plows to cultivate land?
Hanzhong is now the only grain-producing place that the Han Dynasty can control, and anyone who dares to reach out can chop it.
However, this world is still the world of the Han Dynasty after all. When it comes to the reclamation of Hanzhong, Zhuge Lao Yao cannot clearly say that only nobles can come, but no one else can come.
But if you don’t have a plow, why don’t you start a furrow?
In the past, Hanzhong was an uninhabited land, and the imperial court was unable to reclaim it. However, the aristocratic families had the ability, so why did no one think of it?
Is it possible to reclaim wasteland just by digging around?
Look at the two oxen who used to carry a plow. Even if you were killed, you wouldn't be able to plow much ground.
According to the previous standards, coming to Hanzhong for reclamation meant throwing money and grain into a bottomless pit. At least for the first few years, it was a bottomless pit.
Everyone knows that Hanzhong is the barrier of Shuzhong. If one day the north comes again, won't Hanzhong be in chaos again?
The manpower invested is nothing. After all, which aristocratic family doesn't have more or less people hidden in its manor?
But the money and food invested were wasted, and no matter how big the family was, they couldn't withstand such losses.
In other words, with the Eight Ox Plow, the imperial court had the confidence to dare to colonize Hanzhong.
A plow with eight oxen can push it flatly, which is better than a hundred experienced farmers.
Farmers want to eat and drink, but what about cows? Just eating grass is enough!
How much grass can eight cows eat?
How much food do one hundred farmers need to eat?
Let Zhao Guang do the math for this multiple-choice question, and everyone will know which one to choose.
This is called advanced productive forces promoting social progress.
Feng Yong knew the importance of Hanzhong, and Old Demon Zhuge knew it even more.
Therefore, according to Feng Yong's expectation, the old demon Zhuge would definitely block the Eight Niu Plow, leaving the aristocratic family to just stare.
I never thought that this branch of the Li family could have such great energy, and it seemed that it could make an eight-niu plow.
This makes people feel very strange.
After thinking about it, I seemed to owe that Taigong Li a big favor, so if he wanted to see me, it would be best to meet him.
"That's done. I'd better go to the trouble to tell General Ma what I mean. I can't be careless about this matter. Then I'll go find Mr. Li again and tell him that I've been thinking all these days.
When you have time, you are welcome to come to your home for advice at any time, and you don’t have to look for it specifically. If you can find it, just look for it, and forget it if you can’t find it.”
That kind of person like Mr. Li Taigong knew how to invest when he was just a salted fish. He probably would have come to his door before Wang Xun went to find him.
Although Taigong Li is older than him, he is still an official, so he might as well forget about taking the initiative to visit him.
After all, my identity is somewhat sensitive, and my family is a thorn in Zhuge Lao Yao's side, so I'd better be calm.
Wang Ping traveled day and night and rushed back to Jincheng.
Looking at his tattered appearance and being covered in dirt, according to his own opinion, if he went to see the Prime Minister in this state, it would definitely be extremely rude. He originally thought of going back to his courtyard to wash himself off.
body.
But then he remembered that Feng Langjun had told him before he left that he would go to the Prime Minister's Mansion as soon as he arrived in Jincheng. He hesitated for a moment, thinking that he had already bet his family's future on Feng Langjun. Are he still afraid of this time?
At that moment, he mustered up his courage, and under the vigilant eyes of the guards at the Prime Minister's Mansion, he anxiously handed a greeting card to the concierge.
The concierge didn't mean to look down on anyone, but he really couldn't see what kind of identity the refugee-like person in front of him had, and he dared to come to the Prime Minister's house to deliver a greeting card?
At that moment, I picked up the greeting card and glanced at it carelessly, and my eyes widened immediately.
Then he looked at Wang Ping with eyes full of disbelief.
As a concierge, of course you need to have an eye for prices, but you also need to have a good memory. You need to know who can get in, who can't, who can get in directly, and who has to wait.
.
One of them is named Feng Yong, who is named Mingwen, and is very special.
Although this person has not been here a few times, he is someone who can directly enter the inner courtyard.
Madam even personally issued an order a few days ago that if any news related to this person comes, it must be reported as soon as possible.
