From mentioning AK47 to farming in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 116 The Three Companies Didn't Sign

Tian Yu, who had been worrying for several days, suddenly let go, and Tian Yu couldn't help but eat a few more sweet potatoes, and he didn't stop until he burped.

"It tastes really good. It would be great if my subordinates could eat this sweet potato every day."

Zhao Tai looked at Tian Yu with a strange and defensive look.

"If Guorang wants to eat, of course he can eat as much as he wants, but I hope Guorang can keep this idea later."

Tian Yu was taken aback for a moment, not understanding what Zhao Tai meant.

"My lord, what do you say? Could it be that this sweet potato can't be eaten?"

"You can eat as much as you want, and it doesn't matter if you are full. By the way, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do. I want to go outside the city to see how the people's land is doing. The state has government affairs, and government affairs are important. You don't need to accompany me. "

"The subordinate's government affairs have been dealt with. The lord wants to understand the people's sentiments. The subordinate can accompany him. It's just a matter of time to go out and relax."

He always felt that Zhao Tai was very strange, as if he wanted to get rid of him immediately.

Heh, everything is done anyway, if you want to go out and let the wind go, how can I miss Tian Guorang, he just wants to follow.

Can Zhao Tai refuse?It is reasonable for him to be accompanied by his subordinates when he travels, not to mention that he is not lazy, but he is capable and handles everything.

"Then let's go together, but don't get too close to me."

This strange request made Tian Yu puzzled, and he just nodded in agreement.

"Here."

If Zhao Tai wanted to travel, You Kan would definitely follow him, even Zhou Ping followed.

Because the really busy people are Qi Zhou, Xia Houlan, Wang Cui and the others. Under normal circumstances, Zhou Ping is the most idle one.

Before leaving the city, Tian Yu's face turned red, because the side effects of eating too many sweet potatoes still came.

Tian Yu didn't take it seriously when he farted a few times before, as normal people would do.

But Tian Yu is different. His stomach is full of sweet potatoes, and he doesn't stop when he puts them away.

"Why is Cheng Tian's face flushed? Could it be that the wind is too cold?"

Zhou Ping didn't know why, so he approached Tian Yu and asked softly, and then his face became extremely painful, while Tian Yu's face was relaxed.

"Don't blame General Zhou, this is human nature, and the wind is also strangely cold."

Zhou Ping, who was already a few steps away, forced a smile, looked at Tian Yu who was sniffing the air with a cold face, and moved a little further away from him.

"It doesn't stink either."

Tian Yu muttered to himself, and then his expression became ugly again.

"Isn't this sweet potato poisonous? Doesn't my lord know?"

Thinking of this, Tian Yu hurriedly walked a few steps closer to Zhao Tai. If sweet potatoes were poisonous, it would be a disaster if they were planted in an all-round way in the future.

"My lord, there seems to be something wrong with this sweet potato. My subordinates are still angry after eating it. I wonder if the lord knows the reason?"

Yaqi, that is, farting, the anxious Tian Yu can't care so much now, he only thinks that sweet potatoes are harmful.

Zhao Tai held his breath, his face seemed to be smiling, but also seemed to be uncomfortable, in short, it was very strange.

"I forgot to tell Guorang that although sweet potatoes can fill the stomach, there is a small side effect, that is, it will increase people's anger, and sweet potatoes themselves are not harmful."

After hearing Zhao Tai's explanation, Tian Yu looked at him with resentful eyes.

Did you forget to tell him?But no matter how you look at it, it looks like it’s intentional.

It's not that I don't believe you, I just ask you about high-yield crops all day long, why are you so narrow-minded.

"Guorang doesn't need to worry, the prefect will definitely not harm you, why don't Guorang go back first?"

With such a humanoid biochemical weapon by my side, the influence is not good, and it is definitely not because of the unbearable smell.

Tian Yu is a decent person who has read a lot of poetry and books, and he also thinks that traveling like this is too impolite and not elegant.

He wanted to tell Zhao Tai and then turned around, but he quickly changed his words when the words came to his lips.

"The subordinate is the master and the official, and he is the magistrate of a county. It is the duty of the subordinate to understand the people's livelihood. How can he go back here? Besides, the master has come here tirelessly. How can the subordinate give up halfway? A little discomfort is not enough. "

Anyway, you can’t go back anyway, and there are good reasons no one can refute.

Zhao Tai said in secret that he had committed a crime, so he had to let Tian Yu accompany him.

However, his pace was much faster. On the contrary, Tian Yu exhaled while walking, leisurely and contented.

"My lord, there won't be any problems with Tian Juncheng like this, he has never lost his strength all the way, and the common people look at us strangely."

You Kan couldn't help reminding Zhao Tai that the feeling was very complicated and difficult to understand.

"It's okay, Tian Juncheng just ate too much, how can something happen."

They walked all the way and endured it all the way, and they didn't get better until they left the city. It wasn't because they were blown away by the wind, but because Tian Yu had already passed that period of time.

They haven't seen sweet potatoes yet, but after experiencing it once, they have a little psychological shadow on sweet potatoes.

Whether it is good or not is another matter, but this side effect is really not acceptable to ordinary people.

But after seeing the busy figures outside the city, everyone's discomfort also subsided.

"There is no room for loss in spring plowing. Can officials from all over the country seriously perform their duties?"

What he asked was nothing else, but the officials who were trained according to the practice of farmland water conservancy. Their existence was to guide the people on how to clean up the land best.

It’s not to say that you can fully understand it, but you must know how to follow the scriptures. Only by letting the people standardize and scientifically cultivate can the harvest be improved.

But this is not absolute. After all, some things are not the best according to the book, and it is necessary to adapt measures to local conditions.

According to the practice of farmland water conservancy, as long as it is applied properly, it is not difficult to handle it well.

"My lord, don't worry, Master Qi personally supervises the farming. Wang Caoshi never leaves the office. He also has soldiers from various counties to assist him. There will never be any mistakes."

Tian Yu is very clear about this. After all, important official documents in the county will be delivered to him. There are not many things to deal with every day, but they need to weigh the pros and cons before they can be approved. Every step is taken cautiously.

Zhao Tai nodded, he could indeed see the officials running around, and sometimes he even personally helped them out.

Everywhere you look, there are flames rising, which are burning weeds, which can be used as fertilizer, even though the ash obtained in this way is not much.

But as long as production can be increased, this nation, which has agriculture in its bones, will do so.

It's like primitive slash-and-burn farming, but it's really not.

In the Han Dynasty, people already knew how to use soil and fertilizer to cultivate the land.

Even the toilets are connected to livestock buildings such as pig pens, that is, even toilet pens.

But in this period, although there were already methods of using soil and fertilizer to cultivate fields, the most commonly used method was manure, that is, soil and fertilizer in pigs, cattle and horse pens.

We usually throw weeds or even leaves into the pen, let the livestock step on it, get wet and rotten, take it out and pile it up, which can be used as base fertilizer for crops.

In addition, silkworm arrows, chrysalis juice, bone juice, bean skips, and river mud were also used as fertilizers. Agriculture at this time was far less backward than imagined.

I just tried my best, but I still planted more and harvested less. On the one hand, it was because of the weather and land, and on the other hand, it was because of the seeds.

When I saw that the people were either using Lei Lei to plow the ground, or they were pulling the plow to plow the ground with human power.

Zhao Tai still sighed, because this is backward no matter what, but he had to do it.

"Guorang, do you know how the coal mines in Jingxing and the iron mines in Puwu are going?"

Whether the agricultural tools are made of wood or bone, or digging the soil with shovels and shovels, Zhao Tai seems to be laborious and extremely inefficient.

Iron farm tools, this is Zhao Tai's next target.

Livestock such as cattle and horses are not easy to deal with, but if every household has hoes and sickles, the land efficiency can at least double.

In a dynasty that lacked metal, some people would think that Zhao Tai was crazy if he used iron to make agricultural tools for the common people.

It's not enough to make weapons and armor, but it's used to make agricultural tools. That's crazy.

But Zhao Tai wanted to do this. He had more advanced ironmaking technology, and he wanted to make hot weapons.

What does it matter if iron is used to make agricultural tools for the common people? The forces with hot weapons will worry that the iron will fall into the hands of the common people, and then be turned into weapons and armor by the common people to rebel?

Others themselves are not enough, and there are considerations in this regard, but Zhao Tai will not.

He made this iron farm tool. If the people live well, the farm tool will not become a weapon. If the life is not good, it will only prove that it should be turned into a weapon.

Hearing that Zhao Tai asked about iron ore and coal, Tian Yu really didn't know, because Zhao Tai handed it over to Qi Zhou, and he was the only one who knew the most about mining.

"This subordinate doesn't know, and the document has never shown information about the mine."

"My lord, my subordinates know something. Master Qi once said that there is already a clue, and the location will be determined in a few days. Because he hasn't found it yet, Master Qi didn't inform the master."

You Kan is the chief historian, and he has to contact various officials every day. Qi Zhou mentioned it to him, and he wrote it down.

"Notify Zhongji as soon as possible, this iron ore is of great use."

Everyone only thought that Zhao Tai wanted to use iron to make weapons, but they didn't think about making agricultural tools. After all, no one could do such a luxurious thing.

"When the subordinates go back, they will speak to Master Qi."

It is now mid-January, and there are still more than two months until April. Of course, not many farm tools can be produced, but as long as they are produced, they can gradually be popularized in Changshan County.

Originally, it was like a hoe or a sickle. It was available in the Han Dynasty, but few people could afford it due to lack of metal.

Even aristocratic families can't afford to use too much, and can only use it secretly. The franchise of salt and iron is not as simple as just talking.

Even if the management at the end of the Han Dynasty was not so strict, as long as the system existed for a day, no one would dare to do it blatantly, except for Zhao Tai.

A group of people stopped and went, when Zhao Tai saw a field with oxen plowing, compared with the people who were struggling to plow the field, Zhao Tai felt hard to understand.

"My lord, this is the land of the He family, the He family that originally belonged to He Yang, the prime minister of Zhending County."

The names of acquaintances, if Zhou Ping didn't say such a word, Zhao Tai really couldn't remember He Yang.

"Did the He family sign the signature?"

"My lord, I didn't sign, not only the He family didn't sign, but even the Fang family of the Tian family didn't sign, because the aristocratic family in the county even criticized the three families for this matter, and because of this, the three families were isolated."

These three companies did not sign, which was beyond Zhao Tai's expectation.

Still isolated, Zhao Tai was really curious about what went wrong here.
