The people in the back yamen of Xiangyang Prefecture were crowded and never so lively. The officers with a little status in Wang Xiaoliu Army gathered here, with wine and meat, and happily celebrating the New Year. In the barracks that did not come here, there were also wine and meat, which was unprecedentedly lively.

Wang Xiaolie gave a few rounds of wine, said a few polite words, and then left and returned to his study.

Soon, Shao Ling, Niu Gao, Cao Zhiyan, Jie Linong, Yu Huan and others came over.

Wang Xiaoli ordered tea and let a few people drink it. He said, "It's time for the Chinese New Year and the holidays, it's a lively day for the soldiers. But for us, we should be extra busy. Now the army is mostly stationed in Xiangyang Prefecture, and if we drink too much, it is inevitable that there will be trouble. After a while, we will go out separately and patrol the military camp. Where there is chaos, we will quell it immediately."

Xie Linong said: "It's a pity that you can't drink a few glasses of wine on such a good day!"

Wang Xiaoli looked at Jie Linong and shook his head: "You must remember that you are the one who leads the army, and the huge burden is carried on your shoulders! When the army is relaxed, the one who leads the army should be extra cautious! You should relax and not on such a day!"

Several people said yes together.

Look at a few people, Shao Ling, Cao Zhiyan and Yu Huan are fine, Niu Gao and Jie Linong are a little anxious there. Wang Xiaoli shook his head gently and did not say anything about them again. Good wine is a personal habit, and there is no need to look at each other. But you must not make any mistakes because of drinking.

Half an hour later, Wang Xiaoli and several generals went out and inspected various military camps.

I watched the people in the city celebrate the New Year happily. Peach talismans were hung everywhere, and some people burned firecrackers. A few junglers dressed up like gods and ghosts, asking for money along the shops on both sides of the road, looking like a peaceful scene.

Niu Gao said: "The people in the world just like to be poor and happy. It has only been a few days since the peace has brought all kinds of leisure to play on the streets."

Wang Xiaolei said: "It's not peaceful. Are these idle plays less? This is how the people are. They work hard all year round, and finally reach the end of the year. We must be happy. We should keep it carefully and not let idle people cause trouble."

While talking, he went to the military camps by the city. Wang Xiaoli and a few people went to inspect the military camps in various places.

At night, Wang Xiaoli sat alone in the room. There was a charcoal basin next to it, a pot of wine on the table, a few simple dishes, and poured and drank by himself. Many rules for the New Year's Eve in later generations were not formed at this time, there was no TV, no Spring Festival Gala, and only one person on New Year's Eve.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Wang Xiaoli looked at the fiery red charcoal basin with a little confused look. At this time, he remembered his family in his previous life, his sister in Ruzhou, and many more.

Wang Xiaoli understood that these things cannot be thought about. He has many things to do now, and he cannot be disturbed by his thoughts. But on this special day, he couldn't help thinking about them.

He sighed, raised his wine glass, and Wang Xiaoli drank it all. He didn't remember when he fell asleep the next day.

The New Year was lively. On the 16th day of the first lunar month, more than 100 scholars from Ruzhou arrived in Xiangyang Prefecture, and the city suddenly became lively. The people didn't know what these people were doing, and they were talking.

In the government office, Chen Yuyi visited Wang Xiaoli. He asked, "Observe, there were many people from Ruzhou coming to the city yesterday, and the people were talking about it. I wonder what they came to Xiangyang. After observing entering the city and resting with the people, the people all gained the benefits. Suddenly, so many people came, it was inevitable that they would be doubtful."

Wang Xiaolei said: "What are you worried about? There are more than a thousand troops in the city, why don't they doubt it? Don't worry, these people are here to do things. Now that the army has no money, there must be someone to make money. Also, if the taxes of the people are reduced, will it be fine? After something happens, there will always be someone to do things in the countryside. When we first arrived in Xiangyang, it is difficult to find a suitable person for a while, so choose the old one first."

Chen Yuyi nodded and said yes. He was still confused, but he didn't say anything more. The army was fighting, and no one came to Xiangyang. These new Ruzhou people were not. Judging from their young age, the largest one was only over 30. They were elegant and had a special purpose.

After seeing Chen Yuyi off, Wang Xiaoli ordered his soldiers to call the people from Ruzhou who came to the government office.

Everyone bowed. Wang Xiaoliu said, "You have explained clearly before you leave, what are you going to Xiangyang to do. There is no hurry to do this. In the past ten days, we will be strolling around the city and learn about Xiangyang. Although it is not far apart, Xiangyang and Ruzhou are divided into north and south, and it is still very different."

Everyone said yes.

Wang Xiaoli said again: "The climate here in Xiangyang is warmer and there is a lot of precipitation. Compared with Ruzhou, the grain planted is slightly different. In places with water in Xiangyang, rice can be grown. In winter, wheat can be grown twice a year, like the Jianghuai River. It is just that the people are accustomed to the people. There are few people who plant wheat and less grain is harvested. Please find the public officials in the government office to find out where to plant more wheat, and know what to pay attention to when planting wheat early."

Most of the Chinese in later generations had two seasons a year, and even three seasons to the south. However, in the Song Dynasty, most places were still one season a year. Only a few places, such as the Jianghuai area, implemented rice and wheat rotation. The imperial taxes and landlords' landlords' landlords' landlords' landlords' landlords' landlords' landlords' landlords' landlords' landlords' landlords' landlords' landlords' landlords' landlords' landlords' landlords' landlords' landlords' landlords' landlords' landlords' landlords' landlords' landlords' landlords' landlords' landlords' landlords' landlords' landlords' landlords' landlords' landlords' landlords' landlords' landlords' land

Agricultural technology has developed slowly over time. A thousand years later, there are many different places. At this time, the varieties of rice are not rich, and early rice is not clearly divided. There are no suitable varieties for rice and three seasons, and even if you want to plant it, you can't grow it. At this time, the late rice that people talk about at this time is actually the one that does not cultivate the land after the rice is harvested and grows again from the roots. The rice and wheat rotation is not long, and the farming technology is not popular.

In fact, most of the agriculture that Wang Xiaoli is familiar with is gradually formed after the founding of New China. Even during the Republic of China, Suzhou, where the most fertile land was in Suzhou, there were only a very small number of farmlands in rotation. Crop rotation, ridge formation, intercropping, etc. These agricultural technologies did appear very early in China, but their development was slow and not extensive.

Wang Xiaoli has memories of his previous life. When you look at it roughly, there are many improvements. Some agricultural technologies that everyone thought in the past life were not promoted at this time. For example, widely promoting crop rotation in Jinghu area can greatly increase grain output. For example, in the construction of water conservancy, a large number of places in the north can only grow wheat, and the yield can also increase. There are many opportunities.

Wang Xiaoli said again: "There is another big thing. There is not much money in the army, so we need to make money. Without money, how can we support the army? It is not enough to just collect it from the people. You should find a way for yourself. Many industries have been done well in Ruzhou, and Xiangyang must also be able to do it. In ten days, you can turn more in Xiangyang to see what business you can do. Also, Xiangyang produces lacquerware and is famous all over the world. You should also understand and recruit some workers to build a lacquerware farm. To concentrate on doing it, it is always lower than that of craftsmen."

Everyone said yes.

The specialty of Xiangyang is lacquerware, which has been famous all over the world since the Tang Dynasty. However, when the Song Dynasty declined slightly, it was still famous all over the world. The status of lacquerware in this era is not comparable to that of later generations. When this business develops, you can make a lot of money.
