Chapter 441 Jingfu Garden
In the seventh year of Yongjia in the Jin Dynasty (313), the seventh day of the first lunar month was Human Day.
Actually, it is still the New Year holiday. Everyone is either partying or having fun, and it is far from the time to go straight. But there is a very important thing to do in the first ten days of the first month of this year -
There is Xuchang Palace in the southeast of Xuchang. It covers a vast area and was once glorious. Now it has been abandoned for decades, but only ruins remain.
Liu Shan came to the old site of Xuchang Palace two days in advance.
He is now the governor of the Xuchang shogunate and holds military power.
Shao Xun stuffed a group of relatives from the Shao clan and his uncle's family into the Xuchang soldiers, serving as officers at all levels and commanding thousands of people who were still under the city of Xuchang.
Uncle Liu Shan is now the supreme commander of the Xuchang Shibing Army. In order to facilitate the management of the army, he even selected some close friends from Yushanwu and Yangguan Zuowuwu to join the army, and combined this army with soldiers and farmers. troops under control.
Shao Xun did not ask for the strong combat effectiveness of this group of soldiers who worked at home and farmed most of the year. As long as they could defend the city and suppress the place, the requirements were really not high.
Liu Shan mobilized a total of three thousand soldiers and occupied the old site of Xuchang Palace. He also cleaned up the weeds, sheep dung, rotten wood, broken bricks and the like inside.
On this day, Shao Xun arrived with his entire family, the family members of the shogunate generals, and officials from Yingchuan County and Xuchang County.
The mulberry seedlings cultivated last year can be transplanted today.
Transplanting mulberry trees is a technical job, but Shao Xun is not afraid. He now has two peerless secret books in his hands: After the Langya Wang family provided "Planting Pockmarks", Wang Huifeng privately copied the "Planting" book. "Sang Yaoshu" was presented to Shao Xun.
Haha, I have a selected book of Langya Wang’s mulberry planting tips from past generations, and I’m afraid of a bird!
Yu Wenjun, Le Lanji and Lu Xun got together and told the other female relatives the essence of "The Essential Art of Planting Mulberry". After today's work is completed, everyone will be asked to make a copy and go back to study it carefully.
Song Yi pitifully followed Shao Xun carrying a food box, a water bag, and a wine bottle, like a maid.
The servants brought by the female family members have already begun to take action: digging holes.
Shao Xun was still quite interested and looked at it carefully.
According to the secret book, plant a tree about two feet apart, and the depth and width of the tree pit will be seven feet each. The pit is filled with broken bricks and tiles, covered with manure, and then the trees are transplanted.
As for why this is done, the secret book also says: "When the tiles and rocks are found under the roots, they are empty and sparse and do not make mud; when the feces falls into them, the roots are attracted to move easily."
This is good, unlike some cheats that only tell you how to do it, but not why.
Without this book, he really didn’t know the best effect of transplanting mulberry trees in this way. Anyway, when he asked other people, they didn’t know much.
After a few months, the roots are almost deep into the ground. At this time, it is necessary to drill a dozen holes around the tree, about three to four feet deep, and then pour manure into the holes.
At the end of the book, there are technical points such as insect prevention, mulberry tree pruning, and mulberry leaf picking.
“There is knowledge everywhere.” Shao Xun said with emotion.
The same is true for transplanting mulberry trees. With or without experience and technical guidance, the effect is really different. Over time, the silk yield is also very different.
This is just a mulberry garden. If it expands to the entire Henan, how big of a gap will it be?
Silk is money. More money can support more soldiers, allowing soldiers to live a better life without worries, which will eventually be reflected in combat effectiveness.
"Licking a woman is indeed beneficial. If you lick it to the end, you will get everything you want." Shao Xun sighed silently in his heart, which further strengthened Huang Mao's Taoism.
And just when Shao Xun was filled with emotion, Wang Xuan, who came specially to deliver the letter, thought something was wrong.
Isn’t this the unique skill of my Wang family? !
Male Gobi! What's going on?
He looked at Shao Xun.
Shao Xun looked a little unnatural and quietly stuffed the secret book into his arms.
After all, it is the "scientific research result" promoted by generations of the Wang family. As a result, the female president of the family business was transferred to Huang Mao for free. How the hell can you bear this?
Old Wall Lamp probably wants to trade this with him...
Shao Xun blushed and left Wang Xuan quickly, without even having time to receive the letter from Old Wall Lamp.
After he left, Wang Xuan was angry for a while, and then smiled.
Now that things have come to this, he feels that he should seize the opportunity to make a fuss.
Dedicating this book directly to Mr. Chen may not have much good effect. But now that Mr. Chen feels guilty for stealing something from the Wang family, things are getting interesting.
Haha, wonderful! It depends on whether you are satisfied or not.

"Husband, the seedlings you planted last year are growing so strong." As soon as he walked into Jingfu Garden, Yu Wenjun took his hand and said Face said in surprise.
Le Lanji quietly retracted her half-stretched hand, smoothed her hair, and said: "Three branches per plant, it does grow well. Some old farmers said it can grow five or six feet."< br>
"Maybe seven or eight feet." Lu Xun added.
Shao Xun silently estimated, it must not be more than ten or twenty meters?
He remembered that when he was a child in his previous life, there was a mulberry tree by the river in the village. He didn't know who planted it. The crown of the tree was very large, at least ten meters high. It was covered with purple mulberries. He often climbed up to pick and eat them, until one day he met a snake spitting out mulberries on the branch...
The mulberry tree is originally a large tree, but in many cases People pruned mulberry trees into shrubs.
This may be due to differences in needs.
In later generations, people mainly used mulberry leaves to raise silkworms, but at this time, they also needed trees.
Crutches made from mulberry trees can be sold for a few cents to dozens of cents.
In ten years, mulberry trees can be used as staffs (military weapons), riding whips, and bedding.
The mulberry tree becomes powerful in fifteen years. It is a very fine bow material and can also be used to make shoes, wooden awls and knife handles.
If it can grow to twenty years, it can make a chariot worth ten thousand dollars.
In other words, mulberry trees that are more than ten years old have many military uses, such as wooden staffs/puddings, riding whips, knife handles, bow tips, chariots, etc.
Different eras have different needs. In this era, it is impossible to cut mulberry trees into shrubs for use.
This is farming war.
Growing mulberry and raising silkworms, reeling silk and weaving cloth, making bows from their materials, and building chariots, the value of mulberry trees cannot be underestimated.
"Husband, will Jingfu Palace be our mulberry garden from now on?" Yu Wenjun shook his hand and asked happily.
"Yes. You must take good care of it and set an example for the world." Shao Xun said.
Destruction lasts only a moment, but construction takes years. When he does things, he not only considers whether it is simple or easy, he feels that the most important thing is to do the right thing.
Jingfu Hall is the main hall of Xuchang Palace. It once had a huge pavilion. It was a very luxurious and famous palace at that time, used for imperial gatherings.
There are corridors and verandas around the palace, forming a huge palace garden. The courtyard is planted with locust trees, maple trees and "beautiful grass".
To the east of Jingfu Hall is the Chengguang Hall where Emperor Wei listened to politics.
To the west of Jingfu Hall is the place for worshiping and listening to music.
There are rivers and lakes in Xuchang Palace, where you can go boating. There is an artificial canal to the west of Suiyang Canal that leads directly to Xuchang Palace, transporting supplies from other places into the riverside warehouse.
As things changed, Xuchang Palace was no longer repaired in the late Cao Wei Dynasty, and no one cared about it until the imperial dynasty, so it gradually fell into disuse.
Today, the former palace gardens have been turned into mulberry gardens and fruit trees. Before that, it was even a place where people grazed cattle and sheep.
There is no immortal dynasty in the world. As long as the people get benefits, can harvest more grain, harvest more cloth, and live a better life, then the existence of this dynasty is meaningful.
Highly conscience, just work hard to do it.
Shao Xun pulled Yu Wenjun with his left hand, stretched his right hand, pulled Le Lanji, and then looked at Lu Xun.
The smoked mother smiled and followed.
The four of them climbed the remaining stone steps of Xuchang Palace, boarded the high place, overlooking the earth.
"I can only do this after the Huns run away." Shao Xun pointed at the crowd who was transplanted below, saying, " Given up and destroy the Huns in the morning and evening.
Lan Ji still blushed and even more joyful. It turned out that Fang Caijun saw her embarrassment, so she took her hand.
It's even more sad. If you can marry him from the beginning, how beautiful should it be?
Lu Xun is not so sad. She has a good opinion of Shao Xun. Otherwise, she won't follow him half a half to follow him, but if she loves more, she doesn't know, anyway, she loves children more now.
Shao Xun wore a purple robe today, and walked around with both hands and walked around.
In fact, in this day and age, a twenty-six-year-old is really no longer a young man. He looks like a middle-aged man with a beard, an old look, and a calm demeanor.
After blowing the cold wind for a while, Lan Ji and Lu Xun went down.
Yu Wenjun held her husband's arm and was very clingy.
Shao Xun looked at the wheat seedlings in Xuchang Palace.
Yanzhou has been harassed by Hu Qi and has only been able to grow food for one season. Even this one season will be damaged to a considerable extent, making it miserable.
But with Yanzhou blocking the front, Yuzhou got a chance to breathe.
Transplanting mulberry seedlings today is one, and these winter wheats planted last year are another.
After the wheat harvest in May, you can also grow miscellaneous grains. People's lives will really be greatly improved by the end of this year.
I can’t say how much surplus food there is, but it is definitely not the precarious situation it was before.
At this time, people will unconsciously wonder who brought all this to them.
The dividends of the Battle of Gaoping have been reaped to this day. It is worth noting that he slept in the open and stayed awake, chasing Jin Zhun with no way to the sky and no way to the earth. He completely gave up the idea of the Xiongnu going south to Yuzhou for military adventure.
The dividends of the Battle of Jamati will probably gradually appear.
Many benefits cannot be seen at the time, and profits cannot be settled immediately.
He felt that the strategic defense period was probably over.
Now is undoubtedly a period of strategic stalemate.
If the Huns were a Han government, there would be no period of strategic stalemate and they would directly enter a period of strategic counterattack.
But the cavalry of the Hu regime were so annoying that they almost became their biggest talisman.
We'll see, I'll play with you slowly.
"Husband." Just as he was about to go down, Yu Wenjun suddenly grabbed him.
Shao Xun looked at his wife suspiciously.
Yu Wenjun lowered his head shyly and took out a ring from his arms.
Shao Xun took a closer look and found that it was exactly the same as the one he gave to Yu Wenjun.
Yu Wenjun took his hand, put the ring on, blushed and said, "Husband, I begged my mother to find someone to make it, and I must wear it all the time in the future."
Shao Xun trembled in his heart.
Is this still his dizzy little wife? Where did you learn this trick?
He took off the ring and looked at it in his hand. There was also a poem written in it: "The agreement between life and death is broad, and I said it to my son. Hold your hand and grow old together with me."
He stood in silence for a long time, then smiled and put on the ring.
The girl's fiery heart always makes him unable to resist.
In this game, Huang Mao was completely defeated.
"On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, we will worship the Silkworm God and raise silkworms together, and I will make you a beautiful dress." Shao Xun took his wife's hand and said.
"Okay, okay." Yu Wenjun nodded repeatedly, his eyes curled into small crescents.
“It’s the same as when you were six years old.” Shao Xun smiled.
"So at that time you..." Yu Wenjun pretended to be surprised.
"Yes, I have fallen in love with you since I was six years old, and I still don't get tired of you when I am sixty years old." Shao Xun said.
Yu Wenjun covered his mouth and chuckled, and with brisk steps, he pulled his husband off the high platform.
"Husband, who wrote "The Essential Art of Planting Mulberry"? The handwriting is so graceful." Yu Wenjun's voice came from the wind...
