Daqin: You have a son to help Su

Chapter 101 Conferring an official title, corn potatoes and farm disciples

Wang Meng brought not only the first batch of grain and grass, the people, but also the decree of the King of Qin. The vast land of Henan made him originally want to establish two counties, but because he wanted to integrate the decrees in the early stage, he only established Jiuyuan County.

And the seat of Jiuyuan County is here - Jiuyuan City.

That's right, the land at the foot of Fusu turned out to be the address where King Zhao Wuling built Jiuyuan City. Although the city walls and planning of Jiuyuan City have been completely destroyed by time, only this old map brought by Wang Meng can be seen There are plans to build a city here.

And the sheriff of Jiuyuan County is Zhao Wu, who was promoted from a county lieutenant. The county lieutenant made great contributions in this war and was recommended by Fu Suyi to serve as Yue Fei. , Gao Chong is the governor of the county.

Zhao Wu's promotion was natural. After all, he led troops to fight back against the Huns when they invaded Beidicheng, and later led [-] soldiers to support Fusu.This official position must have involved the efforts of the DPRK family, but Zhao Wu's ability was also noticed by Fu Su.

Yue Fei and Wang Meng, on the other hand, were promoted too quickly. Within three months of joining Fusu, Yue Fei went from being a commoner to a military lord, a captain, and a county lieutenant. He was like a rocket and directly became the number two of a county. figure'.

Of course, this is because Yue Fei's military ability is too strong. In the process of seizing the Henan land, he has no way to reward him except for his first contribution to Fusu.

As for Yue Fei's title, even though there is a rule that he can only advance to three levels of title in a war, this Northern Expedition to Henan was more than one battle. He first defended the northern city, and then took the initiative to defeat the Huns' large forces, pursue the remnants of the Huns, and capture Henan.

Except for the low merit of chasing the remnants of the Xiongnu, other battles can make Yue Fei directly rise to the third rank of military merit, and Yue Fei is now the tenth rank of Zuo Shuchang.

Gao Chong's merits are slightly less than Yue Fei's, but he has also contributed in four battles. His title is the eighth rank of Military Merit, and his official position is Sheriff Shi, who assists the county guard in managing the troops and horses in the county.

On the contrary, Wang Meng and Xun Yu, who were born in the royal family, had Wang Jian as a big tree to rely on, and their talents were appreciated by Qin Wangzheng, and they also studied Legalism.

One was born in a famous Xun family, and Xunzi's descendants had high prestige in both Confucianism and Legalism. Xunzi also directly became the governor of Jiuyuan County.

But after this set of official positions were sealed, Fusu felt that the county guard Zhao Wu had become an empty frame, and the real county guard seemed to have become himself. After all, they were all his own people. How could Zhao Wu manage Jiuyuan County.

Not to mention the Xiongnu and immigrants in Jiuyuan County, Fusu's appeal is several grades higher than that of Zhao Wu. I only hope that Zhao Wu can get along with him in harmony.

Regarding the development of Henan, Qin Wangzheng also ordered to follow the method of Fusu. After all, Henan has a different model from the counties in the interior, and there are still many Huns in it.

After receiving permission, Fusu immediately prepared to invite Zhao Wu over. After all, Zhao Wu was still the governor of Jiuyuan County, so Fusu naturally wanted to discuss it with him.

As a result, Zhao Wu came over and said: "Wu was born in a public family, and I know that the governance of Henan requires a young master, so I can tell you anything."

Then he went back to the barracks where he was resting. In Zhao Wu's view, Fusu fought with him in Beidi City, and he had some emotional foundation. In addition, he is the eldest son, and he will return to Xianyang after only one year here. Wu is still open to it.

After Zhao Wu agreed to follow Fusu's order, Fusu, Wang Meng and Xun Yu began to formulate a set of laws that only belonged to Henan.

As for the herdsmen of the Xiongnu tribe, Fusu may continue to use their characteristics of worshiping gods to grow high-yield pastures and increase the total amount of pastures that are edible for cattle, horses, and sheep on the grassland.

After establishing the general direction of the decree and law, Fusu went to meet with the farmer disciples who came with Wang Meng. Although they had not seen potatoes and corn, most of the high-yield crops that came from South America in later generations, the people of Zhuxia Never seen it either.

Relying on their experience, these high-yield crops took root and sprouted in Zhuxia, and became frequent guests on the tables of the people of Zhuxia. They even caused a population explosion in the Qing Dynasty. .

"Farm disciples, Fusu is polite." Fusu opened the door of this temporary wooden house, and saluted generously first.

Seeing that it was Fusu, everyone else stood up and saluted Fusu and said, "Young Master!"

Fusu took out potato seeds, corn seeds, and soybean seeds wrapped in cloth from his sleeve, and showed them to the farm disciples.

"My lord, we've already had our breakfast. It's not evening yet, so we can't continue wasting food." The leading farmer stood up and refused. Even though he hadn't seen these things, he could tell they were food.

Peasant disciples have always been peasants. They also have children from rich families or nobles, but they are willing to wear sackcloth and straw sandals, and only eat two meals, which is very similar to the Mo family.

However, the political views of early farmers were too idealistic. They required kings and ministers to farm together in order to eat food, but forgot to perform their respective duties. Therefore, all countries used farmers' farming techniques, but their political ideas were avoided. .

The current farming family has also changed. Learning from the concepts of Mencius and Mozi, the main idea now is to emphasize agriculture, and to use their own advantages in agricultural technology to remain invincible in the agricultural society.

"No, this is the seed of a crop similar to corn." Fusu hurriedly took it back when he heard that they regarded it as food.

Just kidding, these three bags of seeds are more important to Zhu Xia than anything else. In this era of vast land and few people, these three bags of seeds are conservatively estimated to quadruple the population of Zhu Xia.

Hearing that this was food for crops, the leading farmer disciple looked back at his fellow disciples behind him, but everyone shook their heads as they had never seen these things before.

That's right, these seeds are basically the same as the miniature version of the body, and the corn is in the shape of a corn kernel, which is golden and yellow, and they don't recognize it.

"Young master, we have never seen and cultivated this kind of food, why don't we cultivate corn!" The leading farm disciple retorted.

Fusu also expressed understanding after hearing his words. After all, compared to new products, more experienced corn is the main crop of the farmer disciples this time.

So he shook his head with a smile, and took back the soybean seeds first: "These two crops can produce more than ten stones per acre!"

Ten stones?The peasant disciples were shocked when they heard this unit of measurement. They looked at the young master with a solemn expression, and he didn't look like they were joking at all.

Suddenly, my heart was pounding. You must know what is the concept of ten stones per mu?That is to allow the people of the world to have three meals a day and to be full for each meal, and to have a lot of food left over for the winter.

Seeing the seeds that Fusu took out, the farm disciples' hearts almost jumped out. As for whether the young master Fusu would lie to them, they all thought it was unnecessary.

Besides, even if there are no ten stones, as long as the yield per mu is five stones, the people in the world will not go hungry.

　There are many different books on the measurement of stones. This book adopts a more common statement, that is, 60 kilograms per stone.
