Chapter 28 The Emperor Enters Lei Xia, Shungeng Lishan (Part 2)
The emperor looked very unhappy.
Fang Qi smiled.
"It is a rare thing in a thousand years for an immoral family to raise a virtuous son."
The emperor looked at Fang Qi: "He does have some ability, but now it seems that he is just filial piety. He can only be said to be virtuous, but not a great virtue. He is not even worthy of a small virtue."
Fang Qi said: "The emperor can continue to read."
At three o'clock in the morning, Chonghua and Tao Shou finally finished plowing the fourth mile of land. His face was flushed, his arms were tense and covered with sweat.
The fourth mile, this mile, has three hundred steps as a mile, and is called a well field. The four miles of heavy plowing are four thousand steps, which is one thousand two hundred steps.
The length and breadth are each a hundred steps, forming a field.
Six feet is a step, and a hundred steps is an acre. However, at this time, there was no term for an acre. During the Yao, Shun, and Yu periods, the prototype of a well field was used.
In fact, it does not take such a long time for one person to cultivate several acres of land, but that is because of the "extensive work, extensive planting and poor harvest". Laissez-faire planting naturally does not require much effort, but if it is a piece of soil rolled over,
Every piece is done with detail, and Chonghua's movements are actually quite fast.
Later, during the Warring States Period, a person in the Jin State had to plant 70 acres of land. Naturally, he had to plant extensively and produce a small harvest, which was only possible with rotational cultivation and fallow. Moreover, with such planting and the lack of fertilization, the yield per mu was really not high.
If it's like Chonghua, it's just a thin roll of soil one by one. If it were an ordinary farmer, he would not do this, because he doesn't know how many years or months it will take, and he is afraid that his waist will be broken.
Already.
The emperor saw this scene and said to Fang Qi: "This boy, one person in one day, if he continues like this, he can cultivate dozens of fields. Now it seems that he should not be able to stop five or six thousand steps. It is amazing, and he is as strong as an ox."
."
Fang Qi also said: "Chonghua was born with great strength, but he has a gentle heart and never uses his strength to attack others. This is really rare."
At present, the spring thunder has not sounded three times. The spring day is not hot, but there is a slight cold breeze. It is just that the sun is in the middle and the ground is warm. I am tired from plowing the heavy flowers, but I am afraid that Ji Man will see me and scold me for being lazy, so I have to lean on
Hold the hoe, rest for a moment, and then swing the hoe again, but the movement will be much slower.
Tongshou appeared in the distance, where there was a shallow wellhead. She struggled to pull the ropes. When Chonghua saw it, his expression suddenly changed and he ran over quickly. He didn't even care about the hoe and grabbed the ropes.
He also taught the emperor: "This thing is dangerous, the well is deep, and cannot be touched."
But Tongshou held her mouth shut. There was a rotten small pottery bowl next to her, which she had secretly hidden in her arms and brought out.
"Brother is thirsty. It's time to drink water and rest."
That's what Naoshou said, and Chonghua sighed and said to Naoshou: "Brother is thirsty, and he will come to fetch water. You can't do such a dangerous thing, brother will be worried."
"Know it!"
Teoshou tugged at the corner of Chonghua's clothes and grinned: "Brother, drink water!"
The two brothers and sisters, one older and one younger, started drinking water by the well. Chonghua took her and took her to a shady tree. He patted away the rot and wet leaves around her, moved a big stone from the edge, and let Chonghua drink water.
Sitting here, this tree is where Chonghua can see him at any time.
"Stop running around."
Chonghua and Taoshou pulled their fingers together, Taoshou smiled happily, and Chonghua returned to the field, picked up the hoe, and started farming hard again.
People living in mountains and seas often only eat breakfast and dinner, so they often skip one meal at noon.
Only those who have the conditions can eat one more meal.
But at this moment, the door of the cottage was opened, and Chonghua’s younger brother Xiang ran out and took a few children to wander around in the fields. When the children saw Chonghua, they were a little embarrassed and said to him: "
Your brother is plowing the fields, why don't we go somewhere else?"
"Ah? Plowing the fields?"
Xiang squinted his eyes, saw Chonghua's back, and sneered: "What are you afraid of! I don't care, do you still care about my family's affairs? It's just a little field, the elder brother can cultivate it well, and he won't damage some.
Anyway, the seedlings haven’t been planted yet.”
"Xiang, what are you thinking about?"
One child wondered: "Without cultivated land, your family will have no place to eat."
Xiang patted his chest and said, "You don't understand. My eldest brother is very strong. He can plow eighty fields a day, but your parents can only plow twenty fields a day!"
"There are only a few people in my family. Tsk, you guys are so boring."
Xiang gave up the idea of playing in the fields under the persuasion of a few friends, and he knew that those friends were just taught by their elders in the family, who told them not to cause trouble while Chonghua was plowing the fields.
This made the elephant very unhappy.
A friend said: "Xiang, your mother is not happy today."
Xiang snorted coldly: "When will she be happy? She is like this every day! But what does it have to do with me? If she is unhappy, she will go to my eldest brother to trouble her. My eldest brother is really filial to her and tolerant in everything.
It’s really ridiculous.”
The friend said: "Everyone knows that Chonghua is a filial son."
Xiang's eyes widened: "Is he being filial? He is stupid! Forget it, Mom, if you talk too much, I will be beaten later. Chonghua is willing to be beaten and let his anger out, but I am too lazy to care about him!"
He trotted all the way up to the emperor: "Captain, are you going to play with your brother?"
Tongshou shook his head and sat under the tree without going anywhere. Xiang snorted and said to Chonghua: "Brother, my mother said that you put a curse on Tongshou. She doesn't like that my mother is pestering you every day, right?"
real?"
Chonghua smiled and wiped his sweat: "Xiang, go out and play, be careful of wild animals and come back early."
Xiang pointed at Chonghua: "Brother, you are so stupid, ha!"
After he finished speaking, he left. As he left, he glanced at Miao Shou and saw that the little sister was so well-behaved, just sitting under the tree and looking at Chonghua Farmland, so he became even more unhappy.
Chonghua watched the elephant go away. As time went by, men passed by one after another. When they saw Chonghua, they all greeted him with respect. Chonghua also responded one by one. These are the residents of the surrounding area.
People at the foot of the mountain.
Jiman came out again. When she saw those people greeting Chonghua, she suddenly felt dissatisfied. She strode over and trampled on the cultivated land. After seeing that Chonghua had plowed a thousand steps of the field, her face looked better.
She came over and didn't care about her. She just said to Chonghua: "Your father wants to eat kān, xu. Go catch some from Lei Zezhong. If you have time, catch one or two water nymphs."
Chonghua said: "It's getting late, and this is a cultivated land."
Jiman glared at him: "I'll just teach you how to do it! Why are you talking so much? If you can't eat fish today, your father won't eat half a mouthful of corn. If you have the ability, just go in and talk to him yourself!"
Why bother me?"
Chonghua nodded silently: "Since it is my father's order, I dare not violate it, so I will go now."
Jiman waved his hands continuously: "Go away, go back quickly, you go fishing and hunting, and then come back to farm, isn't it the same?"
"Oh, by the way, you can't bring a short bow when you go fishing."
Chonghua was stunned, and Jiman said: "When your brother went out to play just now, he hid the short bow in his chest and took it away."
Chonghua said nothing, but Tao understood, and Jiman said again: "You took Miao Shou with you when you went, don't lose her!"
Chonghua nodded: "Don't worry, Mom."
The young man took the little girl away, and walked past Jiman with his head lowered. After the two left, Jiman turned his head and glanced at the huge farmland, and said to himself: "If I give him
If he eats an extra two cents of millet, he will be allowed to plow more fields in the future. He can eat as much as he wants and produce as much as he wants. Otherwise, how will the whole family be able to feed himself, hum!"
As she said this, she suddenly felt a chill on her back. She looked around and at the sky suspiciously, but found nothing unusual, so she shook her head and walked towards the cottage.
And in the mountains in the distance, the emperor sighed:
"The father is stubborn, the mother is loud, and the younger brother is proud."
"But the people all around are respectful, but the mess inside is really weird."
Fang Qi asked: "What does the emperor think of Chonghua?"
The emperor glanced at him: "Let me watch him for another ten days. At this time, he went to Leize to hunt fish, and it is getting late now. You might as well follow him secretly and protect him."
They all smiled and said: "I respectfully respect the emperor's order." ps: "The Classic of Mountains and Seas·Dongshan Classic": "Three hundred miles to the south, it is called Jackal Mountain. There is no vegetation on it, but there is plenty of water below, and there are many fish in it."
The species of fish are widely distributed in the water veins of the Dongshan Meridian system, and eating them does not seem to have any special effects.
