Chapter 995 The Old Man
There are still some old people in Jinmenwu west of Yunzhongwu.
Kinmen Lieutenant Zhongqiu took several Wubao residents and disabled warriors from more than 20 years ago to sit on the sunbathing field and chat with the emperor.
The old people were very reserved at first, but after drinking two bowls of wine and chatting about the past, they slowly relaxed.
Kinmen Wei Zhongqiu came to seek refuge seven years ago.
He was the nephew of Zhong Badger, a Donghai native who died in the Piyong battle, so he overcame all difficulties and borrowed money from others. The family took a boat transporting grain and arrived in Luoyang. Then he entered the Bianliang martial arts school and served as a Kinmen captain after he came out. .
There are nearly 17,000 households in Yunzhong, Kinmen, Tanshan, Gancheng, Yushan, Baichao, Xiashi, and Taolin Bawu. They have been nominally placed under the Shaofu. All residents They are all "garden households", but the actual people who manage Wubao are martial arts students, and all the fort captains are from the ninth rank.
Zhong Qiu's original name was Zhong Donkey Qiu, which was extremely vulgar. After studying, he changed his name, removed the word "donkey", and changed his name to Qiu. He suddenly became tall and elegant.
He is also very smart and knows what the emperor wants to see, hear and talk about.
At this moment, he said: "The composting method that your Majesty created in Sanwu, Kinmen, seems to have become a If you go to Henan, you can harvest several more buckets of grain from one acre of land.”
Shao Xun looked at the farmland in the distance.
In my impression, it was lower than the river bank back then, but now it is almost at the same level.
The manure was collected, mixed with river bottom silt, stirred, stacked, and then spread into the fields after the grain was harvested. Day after day, year after year, such huge changes occurred.
However, like the two-year and three-cropping system, the promotion of composting method is not so smooth.
Farmers are both eager to increase food production and extremely conservative. Things are not that easy.
Fortunately, the western half of Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and Sizhou has basically been promoted, and it is slowly spreading to the east.
Because a large number of soldiers from the government were sent to Bingzhou, the promotion of new agricultural technologies was even faster than in some areas of Henan.
Really speaking, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou are relatively slow. The proportion of wheat planting is low, there are few people who can compost, and agricultural production is relatively backward.
"How are you doing?" Shao Xun looked at the old people and asked.
After finishing speaking, he added: "We fought together back then, so there is no need to hide it, just tell the truth."
"Your Majesty." After a long time, someone finally said, "I followed your Majesty into Luoyang and returned to Jinmenwu after being seriously injured. Thanks to your Majesty, I now have a wife and children. My old wife died in the epidemic that year, and two The sons went to Luoyang and got married and started a business. One daughter married to Tanshanwu, but the youngest son and I stayed in Jinmenwu."
"There is less land in Jinmenwu, but the harvest is high. We can also graze some cattle and sheep on the mountain, so life is not bad."
"On that day, the second son returned from Luoyang with his family, and the whole family When people get together, they all say no chickens are killed on the first day, no dogs are killed on the second day, no pigs are killed on the third day, and no sheep are killed on the fourth day... My family doesn't kill them all. The solution was to borrow the houses of the neighbors and give them some food and wine. The whole family stayed here for more than forty days. When the grandchildren were around his knees, the old man burst into tears thinking of the fight they had made together. "
"Your Majesty, it's not easy." The old man wiped his tears and said, "I am from Bingzhou and I plan to be buried in this life. I'm at Jinmenwu with a group of old brothers. Whoever leaves first will be given a ride, and those who leave later will be sent off by their children and grandchildren. As long as I'm here, Yiyang will be your Majesty's Yiyang. I always told my children and grandchildren. Fleeing to Luojing, we have no food or clothing. If your Majesty doesn’t take you in, we will be gone.”
After saying that, everyone felt sad.
Shao Xun sighed: "With you here, what do I have to worry about?"
Luoyang is surrounded by basic markets. In this situation, I feel safe even when I sleep.
"Have you received the gift you gave me years ago?" Shao Xun asked.
"Collected."
"How many?"
"Three bushes of corn, two bolts of silk, and a lot of money."
"Have others received so much?"
"Yes, they were given out in public on the drying ground. Those young men in the fort Lang Du was envious and said that it was really worth fighting for His Majesty. Even though we are missing arms and legs, Your Majesty still remembers us."
"How about Captain Jinmen?" Shao Xun pointed at the clock. Ball, asked.
Zhong Qiu’s face tightened.
The veteran hesitated to speak and said: "Zhongguan people are very dedicated."
Shao Xun nodded, no longer asked about the matter, and casually said: "What are you doing, sir?"
"Tune ink with someone in the back mountain." The veteran said: " This is something that was assigned by His Majesty back then. Over the years, several people have changed, and they are still adjusting it.”
For many years, people in the back mountain of Jinmenwu have been studying how to prepare ink suitable for woodblock printing. It was done earlier than the Shaofu.
At this point, the product has been iterated many times. To be honest, there are still many shortcomings, but it is much better than the original product.
Shao Xun even thought about offering a nationwide reward to get more people involved. Gein requires a bit of luck and new ideas. If there are too many people involved, one person may get lucky and it will happen.
Luoyang Imperial College reopened in February this year, and the demand for engraving printing became more and more urgent. Now it is stuck on ink and cannot be produced.
Need a little luck!
"I feel relieved to see that you can spend your old age peacefully." Shao Xun stood up and said, "You fought for me when you were young. If your old age is miserable, how can I be able to enjoy wine and beauty in peace?"
After that, he clapped his hands and asked the soldiers to bring him silk. Each person present received two horses as a meeting gift.
Everyone is grateful.
"No need to thank me." Shao Xun personally helped the veteran up and said: "Twenty years ago you were very brave, did not avoid the edge, and rushed to the front. You deserve all this."
After saying that, he asked again: "Compared with twenty years ago, have I changed?"< br>
“It’s changed a lot.” The veteran laughed and said, “There are a group of concubines who are like heavenly beings around me. I almost thought I had seen the wrong person.”
Shao Xun laughed and said: “ When I was with you, I couldn’t sleep because of my smelly feet.”
Everyone laughed. "I'll treat you to wine and meat today." Shao Xun said, "There are two thousand families in the fort, and everyone has a share."
Everyone was very happy after hearing this.
The emperor is treating you to a guest, how honorable is it to tell it? As a result, Zhong Qiu immediately sent someone to pass the order, asking Wubao Dingzhuang to go down the mountain, clean up the place, and prepare firewood.
After Shao Xun turned around and left, he looked at his sons who were not far behind him and asked: "Did you gain anything from what you just did? Hutou, you come first. Hutou? Where is Hutou?" ?”
Hutou had already sneaked to the wall, holding a big stone lock in his hand, and was trying to climb over the wall. Hearing his father's call, he was so frightened that he threw the stone lock away and trotted over, saying, "Master, I just listened carefully. Around Luoyang, We need to arrange more people like this. If there is a rebellion in the future, no one will respond. Instead, they will be ordered by the court to kill the thieves."
Finally. , his voice lowered, and he muttered: "Even if you go out hunting and the city gate is locked, you can still go to Yiyang to gather loyal and brave men."
Shao Xun raised his right hand high, wanting to fight, Finally, he put it down and scolded with a smile: "The words are rough but the reason is not rough."
"Chunlang, tell me." Shao Xun looked at his son, who had never had much sense of existence, and asked.
"It will make my father famous far and wide." Chunlang said nervously.
"It's not wrong." He didn't have high expectations for this son, so he was more tolerant, and his words were full of encouragement. He just heard him say again: "Several of your brothers have been in charge of the Forbidden Garden. In a few days, you will Take the royal officials to Tanshanwu, where there are two Take good care of the residents of Qianwu Fort. After the harvest next year, I will send people to inspect it. If you manage it well, these two thousand households will be your food."
Lao Wu was granted the title. The king of Han had a household of ten thousand, and his fiefdom was in Lushi County, Shangluo County.

After the three families were divided into the Jin Dynasty, the Lu family and Yiyang family were within the territory of South Korea.
Since the late Jin Dynasty, because Lushi County is located in the mountains and has a fairly small river valley plain, many refugees have gathered, about 3,000 households, all of which have been used as food towns for Lao Wu.
There is also a large area of the surrounding mountainous forest area. In fact, there are not many people, more than a thousand households.
Tanshanwu has two thousand households. In the future, they will all be allocated to him as a food town, so there will be more than six thousand households. In fact, the final number will only be this many. If the household registration is further checked, it will not matter. Potential, natural endowment is like this.
However, because in the mountains, there is a lot of damage when transporting property, the actual money and food received by Lao Wu will be less. Compared to the other brothers, he is really poor.
"Liang Nu, it's your turn." Shao Xun said again.
"Master, I only saw the word 'convinced'." Liang Nu said.
"What's the explanation?" Shao Xun asked.
"My grandpa cleaned up the old mountains and rivers and allowed them to live a peaceful life with no worries about food and clothing, so I am willing to fight for my grandpa." Liang Nu said: "The more people like this, the better the foundation of Liang will be. "Stable."
"The book is well read." Shao Xun nodded: "When you govern a land in the future, you must remember today's words."
Then I asked Lao Qi and Lao Ba. They were only twelve and eleven years old respectively. Their answers were similar to those of Lao Liuliang Nu. , are all principles I read when I was studying. As for how much I understand, it’s hard to say.
What you learn from reading and what you gain from doing things are not on the same level at all.
Wait until the three of them are actually working and observe again.
Anyway, a master like Shao Xun never looks at how beautiful a person is on his lips, but how good he actually is at work.
Liang Nu and others still need to wait for the opportunity to prove their ability in this area.
That night, Shao Xun stayed at Jinmenwu.
"It was in front of this window that I was tricked into losing my virginity by you." When he opened the window, Shao Xun looked at the noble Leshi and said with a smile.
Le Lanji patted him gently, with a look of nostalgia on her face.
For twenty years, I have raised a son and a daughter for the man in front of me. The past events have long since disappeared in the evening breeze like everything in troubled times.
"I was almost deceived by you." Le Lanji said softly.
Shao Xun looked at her with questioning eyes.
"You are the first man who is willing to coax me. I was so happy that I once had the extravagant hope that you might marry me."
"The moonlight is nice," Shao Xun said.
The woman chuckled, as if she really liked seeing the man embarrassed, because it proved that he still had a conscience and cared about her.
"How about giving it a try tonight?" Shao Xun said suddenly.
Le Lanji was surprised at first, and then her face turned red.
You are in your forties and you still come here?
"That's all." Shao Xun smiled, sat back on the desk, and read the military newspaper that had just been delivered.
Hou Feihu has put down the rebellion of Feng Yi and Shangjun, beheaded more than 4,000 people and captured 10,000 people.
With a stroke of his pen, Shao Xun sent all the prisoners to Ruyin and handed them over to Zhang Shuo.
A large amount of cannon fodder is needed over there, whether it is war cannon fodder or logistical cannon fodder, it will be used soon.
On the eighth day of March, Shao Xun did not go to Tanshanwu anymore, but went directly north, then turned west, and arrived in Shaanxi County on March 17th.
After staying for two days, we continued westward towards Tongguan.
At this time, Zu Yue received the order and officially became the prefect of Huainan.
