Chapter 69: Advice(1/2)

Looking at the green mountains, the mist is misty.

In the farmlands by the river, farmers picked up sickles and tried hard to cut wheat.

The families of soldiers who moved from Guanbei greatly changed the social atmosphere and even production and living habits of Jin Jiang.

They brought a large number of livestock, mainly beef cattle, dairy cows, sheep, and even horses.

They do not plant all the land with millet and wheat, but on the contrary, there is a lot of fallow land every year.

Plant various forage grass and beans on fallow land. Diligent families cut the forage home and feed livestock. Lazy people build livestock next to the cultivated land, and herd cattle and sheep into the fields to eat high-yield forage grass.

They drink milk, eat cheese, crispy milk, milk residue, and milk skin.

Their homestead does not plant mulberry trees or silkworm trees. They grow grapes, make raisins, make wine, and feed cows with crumbs.

Their cows produce a lot of milk, which is surprisingly numerous.

They actually eat beef and eat a lot of beef.

Are they still Han people?

The new and efficient agricultural production model has greatly impacted the concepts of the people of Jinjiang.

Although they are ignorant and illiterate, they have never been away from the village in their lives, but it does not mean they are stupid.

Buckets of milk were squeezed home and made into sour slurry, cheese, milk puff pastry, and milk powder. The children were so fit and had fewer illnesses after eating them.

All local children are circling around the outsiders, hoping that some milk residue will leak out from their fingers so that they can enjoy the food.

Local men were puzzled by the fact that they saw the crops of alfalfa, donkeys, beans and other forage grasses in the fields. There are still so fast and so many grasses in this world? Cattle and sheep still like to eat so much? And so many things grow, aren’t the ground thin? Many local people in Jinjiang want to ripen twice a year, but they dare not, because the ground power will be exhausted, and ripening three times a year is the limit.

Snatch other people's land and livestock? These are all martial artists' family members. What are you thinking? Then I can only ask for advice humbly.

The local women look at the young and strong man from outside. The family is so rich, and they will never have to worry about food, clothing and expenses after marrying. This is not better than guarding the land at home and digging food all year round, but not many of them can be digging?

The families of soldiers are very proud. These are all the benefits brought by King Xia. They will make them superior everywhere they go. Are there anyone in the world who is more capable than King Xia?

King Xia can be a saint!

Shao Sheng is in the "farmhouse".

Today I took my four sons to inspect the countryside and experienced a handful of life: harvesting wheat!

Shao Sheng was a human being in two lives, and had harvested wheat in both lives, and had a deep affection for the land.

Of course, the scene of harvesting wheat in two lifetimes is still a bit different.

When I was in the past life, no one watched me, and everyone was working with me. Occasionally, someone stood up and beat his waist, asked about other people's progress, and then continued to work, which was very boring.

The scene of harvesting wheat in this life is too grand. The personal soldiers are almost standing on the ridges of the fields, with flesh on their faces, holding swords and guns, and staring at them. In this era, the media is not developed, otherwise there will be a bunch of cameramen, journalists, etc.

He went out before dawn. The sun slowly rose, the sun was getting poisonous, and Shao Sheng, who was sweating profusely, called his sons to retreat.

After he left, tenants from the military farm flocked in and continued the unfinished work.

"Why don't you fight in June?" Under the shade of the trees, the palace officials and female historians were busy, some were wiping sweat, some were shaking fans, some were cooking tea, some prepared snacks, and some helped to press and pound their legs. Shao Shude enjoyed it calmly and explained to his sons: "One, from the first lunar month to May, each army fought for four or five months, and needed rest; the other should not delay the farming time. The military strategy says 'kindness is not in charge of the army', but I still want to say that if possible, let the Tutuan villagers go home to work hard for farming. Farming is the foundation of all industries and should not be ignored."

Shao Shude said this with compassion, but he had a cruel fact that he did not tell the children, that is, the Flying Dragon Army had already made a big move.

Qi Bizhang led his troops out of Xiangcheng, and then shot eastward with a shot, then turned southward, passed Yancheng, and rushed between Chen and Cai.

Liang Hangong led his troops out of Onoze, and after moving around at the junction of Dan, Song and Cao, he quickly went south, raided and attacked Dangshan and approached Xiao County.

Actually, the people of Henan know now. The Xia army does not kill people randomly. When they come, there is no need to panic. They should do whatever they should do. But the Liang army officials cannot think so. They are responsible. In order to avoid any accidents, they can only recruit local brave men over and over again to defend cities, passes and important towns.

There is no doubt that this will affect agricultural production.

"Dalang, after returning today, I will say goodbye to your mother and go north to Lingxia with the Golden Sword Army. At that time, you will see the scene of the autumn harvest in Guanbei." Shao Shude said: "There are different places, the scenery is different, and the time for harvesting grain is different. It is not the first time you have seen it. You should keep it in mind in the future."

Henan and Hebei’s traditional agricultural production model are sowing millet in the spring of the first year, wheat after autumn harvest, and miscellaneous grains in the short-term growth period are planted in the second year, which means that three ripenings in two years. There cannot be too many, and there must be less. If there are many types of land, the yield will decrease, and the gain will not be worth the loss. If you plant less, you will suffer losses. Of course, some fertile soil can be ripened twice a year for a certain period of time, so this cannot be generalized.

Guanbei is not so good. Some places can be ripe for three years, while some places can only be ripe for one year. Shao Dalang went to Feng and Sheng Erzhou, so he would naturally have some knowledge.

"I have kept it in mind." Shao Siwu is dressed as a farmer today, with a strong figure, heroic spirit, and his hands are covered with calluses. Don't get me wrong. This is not caused by doing farm work, but the mark left by practicing martial arts all year round.

"Erlang, there are two taxes in the country, one is summer tax and the other is autumn tax, which corresponds to summer harvest and autumn harvest. After summer harvest, summer tax will be levied, and a lot of new grain will be put into storage. Today, you also say goodbye to Ah Niang, and tomorrow you will send Zhu Liang to Luoyang with the grain. A batch of millet and wheat will be transported to Luoyang. You will have a long experience." Shao Shude said: "Don't come back after arriving in Luoyang, wait until your father goes over to meet."

"As for the order." Shao Chengjie responded.

"Your husband will also go to Luoyang in a while and serve you well." Shao Shude said again.

Shao Chengjie was stunned and replied, "I understand."

After drinking a pot of tea and eating a few snacks, Shao Shude boarded the carriage and returned to Longchi Palace in a mighty manner.

After returning to the palace, he rested in Ye Lilingji's room for a while.

When Yeli, who was nearly thirty years old, saw Shao Shude coming, he was first shocked and then surprised.

Shao Shude was also a little guilty and asked the female official to call her third daughter Buddha teeth over. Yeli held Qilang Shenli in his arms, and the family was having fun talking.

Buddha Tooth is eleven years old this year, and his name is Shaoli. He is gradually getting rid of the little girl's youth and transforming into a girl.

Shao Shude spent less time with the children, and his only time was spent on his son. The Buddha's teeth were slightly restrained. However, after getting familiar with him for a while, he sat directly next to his father and smiled sweetly.

The Qiang girl Ye Li's personality has not changed much and she complains a lot, but Shao Shude is not impatient and keeps smiling.

Buddha Teeth sat closer and said, "Grandpa, there are many Buddhist temples in Longmen. Have you carved many Buddha statues?"

"There are indeed a lot of chisels in the Ten Temples of Xiangshan," said Shao Shude.

"Can you take your daughter to see?" Buddha Ya asked with his eyes blinking.

"Not now." Shao Shude said: "After the Qingshu Palace is repaired, the grandfather will bring his family to live there. Then Sanniang can see enough. Or, in the future, you will be named Princess Yinque and let those monks be your food seal. Anyway, under the rule of my father, the monks will also have to pay taxes."

Yeli laughed and said, "Don't talk nonsense in front of your children."

Seeing that Ye Li was smiling, Shao Shude remembered the past when he was fortunate to be lucky in the bathtub, and his heart was ready to move. However, Shang Yi and Du quickly shouted outside: "Master, there is a military newspaper."

"Bring it." Shao Shude said helplessly.

Nori saw through his little thoughts and was slightly disappointed.

Qiro started crying again, Nori sighed softly and took his daughter to the inner room.

Du walked in and handed over a sealed document.

Shao Shude took it apart and immediately cursed: "Lu Wenjin is so shameless and brave. Even Li Keyong dared to surrender!"

After listening to the military newspaper sent back by the Ministry, Li Keyong besieged Mozhou for more than a month. Lu Wenjin shouted at the top of the city to surrender, but Keyong agreed.

Shao Shude recalled carefully that Li Keyong seemed to have never surrendered much. After Zhaoyi Jiedushi Meng Fangli committed suicide, the army recommended Meng Qian as the Jiedushi Liuhou. Meng Qian was fine after Meng Qian surrendered, and now he is still a small official in Jinyang.

Li Keyong's reputation is not too bad!

But, Shan Keji killed him, why did he surrender Lu Wenjin again? Could it be that the casualties in the siege were too great and he couldn't stand it? Or was there another reason? It's not because of me?

Shao Shude tapped the table with his fingers and secretly thought about how to stumble on his brother-in-law.

Wang Rong!

Wang Rong's united front value suddenly became greater.

And Luo Hongxin!

Hebei is like this. As the strongest among the five major vassal states in Hebei, shouldn’t Wei Bo have some reaction?

What about the vision of the three towns in Hebei? Have you given up?

"Let Pei Shang be convinced, I want to write a letter." Shao Shude ordered.

Pei was outside the door and heard this and walked in with the girl Shi.

"Secretary" Du spreads out paper and pen and grinds the ink himself.

Shao Shude thought for a while. He suddenly realized that Luo Hongxin's united front value seemed to be greater than that of Wang Rong, after all, Wei Bobing had more food, more money.

How should we win over Wei Bo? What is Luo Hongxin’s demand? What can I give? If he does not agree, what countermeasures or intimidation methods should be used? If this still can’t scare Luo Hongxin and his son, what should we do next?

Luo Hongxin's united front value is indeed great, but the possibility of winning over is too low. Wang Rong is relatively small, but the possibility of winning over is high.

How can we firmly uphold Wang Rong's determination to resist Li? This guy seems to like to change his mind when he sees the wind, has no moral integrity, and is very slippery.

Shao Shude thought about it while writing, but after finishing it, he felt a little dissatisfied.

Wang Rong probably won’t surrender yet, but if he is beaten by Li Keyong once or twice, it will be hard to say. How should he do it?

"Du Shangyi, you also saw the military newspaper. How do you think you should cause trouble for Li Keyong?" Shao Shude looked at Du, who was kneeling beside him and asked.

Du wanted to speak but stopped, but this was uncontrollable. If she said it, she would let the outside world know, but she would offend Chen Cheng, Zhao Guangfeng and other plotters.

"Tell me." Shao Shude patted her buttocks and said.

"The king may send envoys to contact the Khitans. I heard that Gao Siji fled north to the Khitans, and the Gao family was in Xi and Wei's tribes. Liu Rengong, the envoy of Yingping Town, may not be willing to obey Li Keyong, or may be able to win over." Du said directly.

Shao Shude nodded slightly. This was actually the routine used by Zhu Liang in history. He sent envoys to the north to contact the Khitan to attack Li Keyong. This routine was used until the time of Li Cunxu. He was annoyed by the north-south attacks of the Later Liang and Khitans. He was about to be exhausted, but he finally took a risk and made a big comeback.

"Today's affairs are not allowed to be spread to the outside world." Shao Shude suddenly woke up, glanced at everyone and said.

All the female officials should be.

"My brother has his sister-in-law Liu's advice, and I have a beauty who is resourceful." Shao Shude smiled and said, "But this strategy is a little bad."

Du's understanding.
