Chapter 26 Breakthrough (1)

May.

The sun was already very hot, and even in the morning, there was a terrible steaming squid. The wheat planted last winter was basically ripe, and the new rice was very lush.

When a gust of wind passes through, it makes people feel refreshed.

In such a climate, Wang Shoutian was still in the field and looked at the wheat field in a blink of an eye.

Three thousand acres, a large sea of ​​wheat, shining under the golden sunlight, which made people feel comfortable at first glance. Wang Shoutian narrowed his eyes and said, "When will this wheat be harvested?"

"It's within two days today and tomorrow." Xue Yuanying said: "Now, you can harvest it, just wait for the order of the Lord!"

"Very good, what about the preparations for the distribution of fields?" Wang Shoutian said.

"In the past two months, the fields have been divided. Each household has recognized their own fields and has just waited for the adults to officially divide the fields." Xue Yuan pointed to the farmers who were busy in the fields and said.

"Great goodness, it's a good plan." Wang Shoutian smiled with his head raised and said, "I order to harvest!"

"As for the order!" After this order continued, the cavalry immediately conveyed the order. In a moment, six thousand people, holding sickles and other farm tools, divided into twelve torrents and rushed into the wheat field of 3,000 acres.

The young and strong harvested, the women tied up, and the old and young picked up wheat ears, everything was in order.

When harvesting, everyone's face showed a brilliance, which was the light of hope. Wang Shoutian turned around and ordered: "First weigh acre of wheat."

"As for your order!" Chai Maosen responded, and he immediately sent someone to harvest acre of land first and weigh it.

Half an hour later, the output of one acre of wheat field had already come out: "Report to the adults, the yield per mu of two stones."

"Based on this, the yield per mu of two stones and the yield per mu of six thousand stones is reported to Da Zheng!" Wang Shoutian said to Lai Tongyu with an order.

"As for the order!" Since the official document had been written long ago, Lai Tongyu added some numbers to the line and finished it.

Wang Shoutian opened his eyes and couldn't help but smile, saying, "Immediately pass it to the general!"

"Yes!" Then two horsemen rolled over and ran away.

"Lord, it's hot now, are you avoiding me?" Xue Yuan asked, "Just have us here."

Wang Shoutian shook his head and said, "No need to do it today."

As the harvest was harvested, the people became more and more happy. Although they were tired but not afraid, Wang Shoutian felt his moods. Seeing the clouds above the top, the white air was already extremely rich, and the golden seal could not be stored, and a large amount of white air was lost. It was a pity.

Now everything is done, just wait for the commander to enthrone the order.

At this time, it was the 12th year of Chuzheng. Looking at the situation in the world at that time, the royal family gradually declined, the power of the vassal states became increasingly large, and the military strength was constantly expanding. Wang Shoutian knew very well that in the next ten years, the vassal states would annex each other, and the kings of Qin, Jin, Liang and other kings would be born, competing for the world.

Before we knew it, the Hu people on the grass were also fiercely unified, and the overlord was born, and 300,000 cavalrymen would attack the Central Plains in the future.

Under such circumstances, Wang Shoutian could only go against the current and race against time. Now it is another test and progress.

It took only a hundred miles from Jishui County to Wenyang Prefecture, and it took only two hours to reach the city.

At this time, in the study, Wang Zunzhi closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. When the nearby servant saw it, he hurriedly asked for instructions: "Master, should you rest for a while at noon?"

"I don't need to, I have to think about something more, you all go down!"

Wang Zunzhi sat for a while and felt a lot of emotions coming.

Although Liu Siming was dead, he was not energetic and could not attack him personally. However, if he could not quickly annex the town, he was afraid...

There are many towns in Shu, and Wei Cundong, the general who occupied Chengdu, now has the strongest. He has occupied three towns. If this momentum continues and he will be able to occupy the second towns, it will be out of control.

As the lord of a town, he has four counties and one prefecture in name, but he only has two thousand personal soldiers. Even among the two thousand personal soldiers, there are very few loyal people who are loyal.

I can still control myself, but I made them loyal to Tian'er so much that I could see that people were suspicious, and it was really heartbreaking to think about it.

However, Tian'er also made great efforts and started from scratch to build Jishui County.

You should know that although I am a commander, I only have one county and one government in my hand, and it is very difficult to support the soldiers. From time to time, I have to be asked for money and food by the generals, so how much is it?

Although he had gritted his teeth and was preparing to support Tian'er, there were not many people. Now Tian'er has basically started from scratch, but he has really solved the problem.

At this moment, the door in the distance rang: "Master, Jishui County is here to report!"

After hearing this, Wang Zunzhi suddenly stood up, came to the door, opened the door, and took off the official document before reporting, and opened it. He looked at it, "Now, 30,000 mu of fertile land is opened, and 10,000 mu of land is opened... and wheat is harvested, totaling 6,000 stones." He was immediately overjoyed.

There are laws and regulations in everything, and even the lord of a town cannot be promoted at will. Wang Shoutian reported to reclaim 40,000 mu of wheat and obtained 6,000 stones of wheat. This is the real money and silver political achievement. Wouldn't Wang Zunzhi be very happy?

When I went back, I took out a letter of appointment and a golden seal from the table, and opened it and saw that it was not a bad thing, so I made people say: "Xuan Li Xian, please pass this order on Jishui County."

"As for the order!" the near attendant responded immediately.

At this time, Li Xian was working in an east wing room. After receiving the official document, he opened it and closed it and said, "I'm going to go now."

I sighed in my heart. Although I already knew the coach's intentions, this time I issued an appointment without discussion, which was a very obvious hint.

It cannot even be said to be an implicit or an explicit statement.

Jishui County continued to be busy in the harvest. At noon, all three thousand acres were harvested and bundled into the county town.

At this time, there were already ten stone mills lined up in a row, all of which were made of donkeys. The people cheered, poured the wheat in, pulled the donkey, and rolled the roller back and forth on the milling plate to achieve the purpose of milling and rolling out the shell.

This is a grinding fan made of two flat cylindrical stones of a certain thickness. The upper fan has grinding eyes. When grinding the surface, the grain flows into the grinding chamber through the grinding eyes and evenly distributed around it. It is ground into powder, flows from the gap to the grinding disc, and passes through the sieve to remove the bran, etc. to obtain flour.

Bran can also be used as feed, such as feeding pigs.

"Transfer to me the order and issue the order. The flour and bran need to be counted. How much wheat flour can be produced per stone wheat?"

"The routine is 70%!" Xue Yuan said.

"As a wheat of six thousand stones, only 4,000 stones of flour can be produced. Ten liters are one dou, and ten dou are one dou. This time, we cannot follow the number of households, but we must follow the population. How many of us have?"

"Lord, the population is 5,841."

"Then according to the standard of giving half, each person will give three bowls of flour and one bowl of bran. When receiving flour, he will also receive the letter of Tianzhai. When the commander arrives, he will issue it."

"Lord, there is not much left!" Xue Yuan said with a frown.

"In the future, as long as the army is maintained, and by the end of next month, the rice fields will mature. This is not six thousand stones. How much rice yield per mu, is there four stones?"

Wang Shoutian vaguely remembers that there is a record on the earth.

"Records of the Grand Historian's Book of Hequ" records the words of Pan Shi, who guarded Hedong: "Through the canals and lead the Fen family, irrigate the Pi family, and down Fenyin, irrigate the river and irrigate the Fenyin, and down Puban, you can get five thousand hectares. For five thousand hectares, you need to abandon the land after the river, and the people will be in the grass. Now, you can get more than two million stones of grain when irrigate the fields."

This means that the average yield per mu of irrigated rice fields is four stones.

This does not consider high yields of fertile land.

Sure enough, Xue Yuan pondered and said, "I see this field, there are some."

"That's right. The rice fields are 30,000 mu, but they can get 120,000 shi. Are you worried about the food?" Wang Shoutian said with a smile.

"Yes, lord!"

"However, no one disturbed these 3,000 acres of wheat fields, and these 30,000 acres of rice fields may not be disturbed." Wang Shoutian narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance: "I should prepare for it."

This disturbance is not only internal but also external.

Two seasons a year, there are 200,000 stones. What is the concept?

Although the general has a prefecture and a county, he is distributed, and his income may not be as much food as he has!

This is because in other prefectures, there are landlords, powerful people and exploited by officials, so the people have more than 50%, but less than one fifteenth of what the commander got!

Except for some landlords behind Jishui County, there are no landlords and powerful people in these 40,000 acres, and there are not many officials, so they directly get half of them. This shows Wang Shoutian's current economic strength.

One hundred thousand stones of grain can raise 2,000 people even if the soldiers who work hard to train, with a eclipse of 5 liters per day, not to mention the continuous increase in refugees. For every 1,000 households, they can raise soldiers twice!

Thinking of this, Wang Shoutian deeply understood why Li Chengye, who was farming in Jishui County, was able to counterattack and defend the capital of Sichuan in the second year, and took the initiative to hand over Taisu County to himself. He also had so many talents to rely on and the capital for rebellion - he was really a talent for food and military power!

Taisu County is not a blank land. If you get it, you can only withdraw one-tenth of the tax as you like, which also makes people complain. As long as Li Chengye has Jishui County and constantly absorbs refugees, he will have the capital to overthrow himself!

Unfortunately, in my previous life, I didn’t know this key, and thought I had mastered two prefectures and seven counties, far above one county, and I didn’t want to have the most strength, and the most powerful ones!

No matter how destiny is, luck does not come out of thin air. Only by mastering the resources of this emperor could Li Chengye become out of control - like a dragon getting water.

Wang Shoutianshu breathed a sigh of relief. The key was not something he thought of immediately, but that he suddenly realized the key after calculating the output today.

However, I can’t take all of these 100,000 stones, I can give half of them to the coach!

Waking up from thinking, it was already afternoon. The clerk had already folded a volume of documents on the long table, and was so busy that he was sweating.

The officials on one side divided the ground flour and bran into two and a half.

Wang Shoutian asked: "Have you prepared the book of teaching the fields?"

"Sir, 1,211 households have basically been prepared, and I'll wait for the orders of the adults to issue."

Wang Shoutian nodded with satisfaction and looked at the clouds above him. In this moment, the clouds above him became much thicker!

At this moment, there was a cavalry sound in the distance. A cavalry came in first, turned over and dismounted, and knelt on the ground: "Report, Secretary Li Xian, came with the Grand Marshal Ling Yu."
