Chapter 466: Shi Youfeng, produce more food

It was very hot in Ganzhou in the afternoon. A few days ago, there was a strong wind that prevented people from going out. It also blew coconuts and other fruits all over the ground, and broke many thick trees, destroying the city.

The roads outside are covered a lot...

Zhuge Ke led a group of people to ride out of the city from Dan'er County, Dan'er County, and patrolled around the county. Along the way, they passed many roads blocked by broken trees and damaged rice fields. Zhuge Ke led hundreds of people.

soldiers clearing the road,

The forest was very hot and humid, so Zhuge Ke and his soldiers moved many trees away.

After a while, the single clothes in the armor were soaked with sweat. Zhuge Ke wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "Everything is fine in Danzhou, but Shi Youfeng is very annoying. He can't leave the city. Now he can leave the city."

The roads are also very bad, and the newly planted rice has been damaged a lot!"

A personal guard answered: "Yes, this Shi Youfeng is much bigger than what Jiangdong has ever encountered, but there is no need to worry about being frozen here."......

People at this time called the typhoon Shiyoufeng, which means very strong wind. According to legend, a woman from the Shi family married a man named You, and the two had a good relationship after the marriage.

The husband surnamed You had to travel far for business. Shi's wife was worried about her husband's safety and prevented her husband from traveling far for business. The husband did not agree to his wife's request.

After a long time, the husband has not come back from going out, and even the news has been cut off. The wife misses her husband and is worried about her husband's situation.

Later, because she missed her husband too much, she fell ill. When she was about to feel that she was going to die, she said to the people around her: "I hate myself. When my husband wanted to go out for business, I failed to stop him from traveling.

Stop him.

Until now, there is no news from him, and I don’t know whether he is dead or alive. Just because I miss him so much, my health is getting worse and worse.

I am about to die. I will swear that if I meet someone who goes out on a business trip, someone who is inconsiderate of his wife, or someone who doesn’t reply to his family’s messages, I will turn into a strong wind to prevent them from going out so that they cannot go out.

Because you have to abandon your family to do business!”

From then on, whether businessmen or travelers encountered headwinds, typhoons, or hurricanes, they would say: "This is the legendary 'Shi You Feng'!"

In addition to the smooth progress in Yizhou, Zhuge Ke has also made rapid progress in Ganzhou. He has controlled the entire territory of Ganzhou and has gradually recruited some young people from the Li tribe.

The entire island has only been expanded to more than 10,000 people, and thousands of people have been hired to farm and produce rice. Of course, these manpower are still far from enough.

As for the 20,000 Wu soldiers who came here during the expedition, apart from their usual training, fighting, and building forts, they were also working in the fields. It had been less than half a year since they arrived in Danzhou.

However, rice has been planted in many places. Although it is already mid-August, it is definitely not possible to grow a season of rice in the north or in Jiangdong, but it is possible in Danzhou.

Zhuge Ke also sent people across the strait to Jiaozhou and asked Lu Yin, the governor of Jiaozhou, to move thousands of people there to reclaim wasteland.

Lu Yin, a stubborn donkey, would definitely listen to this reasonable order. At the same time, he took the overland route from Jiaozhou and returned quickly to report his victory. Although Lu Yin seemed to be of the prince's lineage on the surface,

But this man was still incompatible with Zhuge Ke and others, and was unwilling to get involved with them, so he could only stay in this remote place in Jiaozhou. No one was willing to speak for him in the court, so he was transferred to a wealthy place.

It was precisely because of this that he escaped, continued to be an official, and rose to the rank of governor of Jiaozhou, instead of being exiled like Gu Yu's two nephews.

When Lu Yin first became the censor, Cao Lang was chosen by the minister. Sun He, the prince, heard about his reputation and received him with special etiquette.

At the same time as Quanzhi, Yang Zhu and other A Feng allied themselves with Sun Ba, King of Lu, and fought with Sun He in a separate court. They secretly slandered each other and made grudges. Lu Yin was convicted and imprisoned. He was tortured and never changed his story. Later, Lu Yin

Yin was appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of the Hengyang Army.

Last year, in the eleventh year of Chiwu, the ethnic minorities in Jiaozhi County and Jiuzhen County rebelled and captured the city, causing turmoil in the Jiaozhou area.

The imperial court appointed Lu Yin as the governor of Jiaozhou and the captain of Annan.

Lu Yin marched into the southern border, told the local people with a message of kindness, and vigorously promoted the policy of recruiting peace and surrender. Huang Wu, the bandit leader of Gaoliang, and more than 3,000 party members surrendered.

Lu Yin led his army to the south, declared his sincerity, and gave money. As a result, there were more than 100 thieves, more than 50,000 people, and those in remote mountains and disobedience, all kowtowed and surrendered, so the Jiaozhou area

Quiet and peaceful.

The imperial court appointed Lu Yin as General Annan on the spot. Lu Yin immediately sent troops to conquer the bandits in Jianling County, Cangwu County and defeated them. The imperial court sent more than 8,000 troops to supplement Lu Yin's military needs.

Wei Guoneng was the most powerful among the Three Kingdoms. The most important aspect was to fully develop the Huaihe River Basin to plant high-yield rice. Among the ancient five grains at that time, the yield of rice was significantly higher than that of wheat, millet and sorghum.

When Cao Cao coerced the emperor to order the princes, he issued a farming order in Xuchang, Henan, and received millions of dou of grain that year.

The successful experience of farming in Xuchang was gradually extended to other areas, and farming was gradually carried out in the middle and lower reaches of the Huaihe River in the controlled areas of Suiyang, Runan, Liangguo, Peiguo and Huainan.

However, growing rice requires a lot of water, so under Deng Ai's suggestion, ditches were opened widely and the planting of rice was combined with the use of water transportation. This way, grain could be harvested and soldiers and other materials could be transported to various places through cheap water transportation.

At that time, Yancheng and most of Nantong did not exist. Yangzhou was still very close to the East China Sea. It was only later that the Yellow River captured the Huaihe River and alluvial plains were created.

Because the Huaihe River flowed directly into the East China Sea during the Three Kingdoms period and was closer to the sea, the climate was wetter and rainier than now. Rice could be grown in Dangshan and other places in Xiao County at that time.

Chen Deng carried out water conservancy projects in Yangzhou, Huai'an and other places, and the operation was very effective for decades. In the early years of Jian'an, Xiahou Dun built a weir on the tributary of Sui River near Sui County to grow rice, and Jia Kui blocked the stream in Runan to plant rice, and dug two hundred

There is a traffic canal in it, which was called Jiahou Canal in history.

It was excavated by Suiyang Canal, Guangcao Canal and other places to connect the shipping of Huaihe River, Yangtze River and Yellow River.

Rice was widely cultivated during the period of Dayu. The "Xia Benji" records: "The order benefits all the common rice, which can be planted in humid areas.

He ordered Hou Ji to provide the common people with hard-to-find food. If the food was small, the surplus would be given to others in order to equalize the feudal lords."

Dayu ordered Boyi to distribute rice seeds to everyone and plant them in paddy fields. He also ordered Houji (an ancestor of Zhou) to distribute food to everyone.

Where there is no food, he has extra space and distributes it to those where there is less.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the population in the south gradually increased. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, years of wars caused great damage to the social economy of the Yellow River Basin.

A large number of people from the Central Plains fled into the Yangtze River Basin, which increased the manpower in the south and brought higher production technology to the northern regions. This is still very beneficial to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

Early rice cultivation was mainly "fire farming and water plowing (nou)". Rice technology developed during the Eastern Han Dynasty, and relatively advanced operating technologies such as land cultivation, rice transplanting, and harvesting appeared in the south.

However, the natural environment in the south and its corresponding crop cultivation methods are different from those in the north.

Rice has high requirements for growing conditions and cultivation techniques. First of all, rice requires an appropriate amount of water on the field surface. Although there is more rainfall in the south, water conservancy is still needed for irrigation.

Since there are many hilly lands in the south, slopes cannot store water; there are also many low-lying lands that are easily flooded, which brings certain difficulties to land utilization in the south.

Therefore, even though the economy and culture of the Yellow River Basin were so developed during the long period from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States to the Qin and Han Dynasties, the south was still vast and sparsely populated, and its economic and cultural development was not as good as that of the Central Plains.

However, with the passage of time and long-term artificial and natural selection, rice varieties and planting techniques have become more advanced and mature, and the south has become the main planting area. Soochow also wants more suitable land to grow rice and produce more rice.
