Great Wei Nengchen

In [-], I don't make a move,

Walking on the ice,

Five nine six nine look at the river willow,

The Qijiu River freezes open,

Eight or nine geese come,

Ninety-nine plus one-nine, the cattle are everywhere!

The sun and the moon shuttle, time is like an arrow, in a blink of an eye, the minor cold has passed, the great cold has passed, and the New Year has passed... Amidst the children's singing, the spring breeze blows the earth, the permafrost gradually melts, and the spring plowing season is here!

The Huaxia nation is a farming nation, with the sky as its father, the earth as its mother, and the water as its kin. It grows five grains and nurtures all people. As the saying goes: spring plowing, summer growth, autumn harvest, winter storage, all year round, each has its own arrangements. People move on time, work diligently, and multiply!

If you want the country to live in peace, you must have a good harvest, and everyone has food to eat, so that the people will not rebel. Therefore, the rulers of the past dynasties have attached great importance to farming, and have evolved a set of spring plowing ceremonies, which are passed down from generation to generation. !

In the fifth year of Jian'an, on the sixth day of February, at the vernal equinox, yin and yang are half phase, day and night are even, birds come, thunder sounds...

In the morning, all the civil and military officials, wearing uniforms and holding Yahu, gathered outside the Sima Gate. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Cao Cao, they entered the imperial city and climbed the Qilin Hall. Guotai Minan!

At Chen hour in the morning, after getting ready, the little emperor, wearing a heavenly crown on his head, a golden dragon robe, and an emperor's sword on his waist, sat in a dragon and phoenix chariot. Wearing a full set of imperial ceremonial guards, he left the imperial city of the Han Dynasty, surrounded by civil and military officials, went out of the south gate of Xuchang City, and went to Shennongtai to sacrifice!

"The emperor of the Han Dynasty went out to worship the ancestors of Shennong, praying for good weather and good harvests!"

"The emperor of the Han Dynasty went out to worship the ancestors of Shennong..."

Ever since he came to Xuchang City, the little emperor was like a bird in a cage, trapped in the imperial city. Although he had no worries about food and clothing, he was also unbearably lonely. Therefore, he cherished every time he went out, and let the eunuchs and maids around him come together. Shout out loudly, to strengthen the momentum, and let the people of Xuchang see who is the master of the world!

"Long! ... Long! Long!"

Immediately behind him was the team from the Prime Minister's Mansion. Cao Cao was wearing a red shirt and holding a Yitian sword, standing on a Yuanrong chariot. There were three thousand tiger and leopard soldiers in front and behind. The team was neat and marched like a forest. However, it is majestic and powerful, proving who is the master of the country!

The civil and military officials followed in order according to their official positions, and their wives, children, and children also set off. The spring plowing ceremony was very lively, but it was a national event!

Shennongtai is located five miles south of the city. It covers a vast area, with simple and simple buildings, stone people and beasts, neatly arranged, in the middle of the main hall, surrounded by cigarettes, drums and music, and worships one of the five Chinese gods - Shennong!

On the land of China, after the Three Emperors ruled the world, after a long period of time, five clans appeared: Youchao clan, Suiren clan, Fuxi clan, Nuwa clan, and Shennong clan!

Shennong tasted herbs, cured diseases and saved people, planted grains, raised livestock, and promoted the Chinese nation from the primitive state of gathering, fishing and hunting to farming civilization. Endless generations!

As for the identity of Shennong, it is a historical mystery. One view is that: Shennong is Emperor Yan, one of the three ancestors of China, because the Yandi tribe has the earliest farming records; another view is that Shennong was born in Jiangshui. River Basin is a chief of a large tribe, talented and intelligent, and created farming civilization. What is the truth, because the time is too long, it is impossible to verify it!

The spring is late, the flowers and trees are luxuriant,

Kung Geng Jie Jie, mining Fan Qi Qi,

The trial is ugly, and the thin words are returned,

Hehe Nanzhong, Hun Yu Yu Yi,

..............................

"The 24th generation emperor of the Han Dynasty-Liu Xie, pray for the emperor's queen land: protect the Han Dynasty, the grain will be plentiful, the people will be happy, the imperial power will be eternal, and there will be no period for ten thousand years, cut out treacherous ministers... go out and kill him, choke him to death, and shoot him in the dark ..."

During the bursts of elegant music, the attendants carried three tributes of bull's head, sheep's head, and pig's head, and sacrificed to Shennong with a "tai prison". No one knows, maybe they are swearing behind their backs!

After the sacrificial ceremony, it will be the spring plowing ceremony. Plowing the land is a hard job. It takes eight petals of sweat and hard work for a whole year to harvest food. Years of hard work paid off!

In order to encourage farming, after offering sacrifices to Shennong, the emperor led civil and military officials to personally cultivate a piece of land to show that they value farming and mulberry, experience hard work, and set an example for all people in the world!

"The Son of Heaven, personally plowing the fields, diligently persuading farmers and mulberry, will prosper forever!"

The cultivated land is right next to Shennongtai. Tianzi No. [-] is the royal family’s cultivated land, which is specially reserved for the little emperor, with a total of one mu and three cents. With the shout of the ceremonial officer, the plowing began!

The little emperor stood in the field, holding the iron plow with his right hand, wielding the whip with his left hand, driving a Guanzhong yellow ox, and began to plow the field. Two other eunuchs helped the little emperor work, otherwise Liu Xie's physical strength would not be able to support him. Heavy iron plow!

According to the rules of etiquette: the emperor of the Han Dynasty supported the plow, and the clan princes pulled the oxen, but Liu Xie had no brothers, and the clan of the Han clan was exhausted, so he had to be replaced by the head of the country, after the payment was completed. Empress Fu and Concubine Cao carried the box and followed behind The seeds were sowed, and several court ladies held wooden sticks and were responsible for burying the soil...

"Crack!... Moo!...Steady, don't run around!"

The long whips sounded, and the oxen strode forward. The oxen used by the emperor were naturally chosen from thousands of people. They were strong in physique, docile and obedient, and had rich experience in farming. But good oxen also need good farmers. The little emperor was born in Shenzhen. In the palace, she was born in the hands of a woman, had never done farm work, and had no strength in her hands. An iron plow was tilted to and fro, and it was twisted...

The one who holds the plow is not good, and the one who pulls the ox is also "two knives". On the contrary, Empress Fu and Concubine Cao are doing decent work, and they probably have practiced in private!

One acre of arable land can be cultivated with only four round trips. Even so, the little emperor couldn't hold on, his hands were covered with blood blisters, so he gave up halfway, asked two eunuchs to help the plow, and followed behind , One foot deep, one foot shallow, pretending indiscriminately!

Princess Haiyan also came, but she looked very low-key, wearing a long-sleeved skirt and a white veil on her head. With the help of her maid, Lingling, she sat quietly on the ground, lowering her head and meditating on something. The last "hunting event", yes She was hit hard and never recovered!

However, this woman has a tenacious personality, and she will never look back when she breaks through the south wall of the things she has identified, and she will never let it go!

Tianzi No. [-], one mu of land divided into two parts, it was cultivated by the prime minister's mansion, Cao's father and son went into battle together, Cao Cao supported the iron plow, the second son Cao Pi led the ox, the third son Cao Zhang, the fourth son Cao Zhi helped his father, and the fifth son Cao Xiong, who wields a whip specially, the father and son work together, the cattle are very obedient, and the plowing is fairly smooth...

Mrs. Bian led a group of concubines, changed into coarse clothes, and followed behind to sow seeds. They were all from small households and were no strangers to farm work, and they did a good job!

Xiao Yi was lucky. He was assigned to Tianzi No. [-], and one mu was divided into fields. Xiao Yi was no stranger to farming land. Back then, in the small Taoist temple, the two masters and apprentices were self-sufficient, so they cultivated two acres of mountain fields. After time, it's already a good harvest!

The problem is, there are few males in the Xiao family, and the two sons are still breastfeeding, so they can't help at all, so Xiao Yi has to go into battle alone, wielding a long whip in his hand, as light as a spirit snake, commanding the cattle to move forward without being led As he walked, he walked straight, pressing the iron plow with his right hand, plowing deep and straight, and the speed was extremely fast. When he was happy, he even composed an impromptu poem:

Advise you to work diligently to plow the fields and fill your barn with millet,

Persuade Erfa Sangzhu, and Garrett wears it on his body,

The ground is covered with clear frost, the grass is not green,

Once Cyclonus enters the forest, ten thousand leaves are lost,

If youth is not plowed, how can it end by itself......

Xiaojing and Daoxiang led a few female soldiers to sow seeds behind them. They all came from poor backgrounds and were very good at farming. This proves once again that only those who are familiar with the land are the real masters of the land!

At the same time, civil and military officials also started farming. Most of them hired old farmers to help cultivate the land, and waved their whips a few times to make a show. -Confucius, the four limbs are not working hard, and the five grains are not distinguished!

An hour later, the fields and acres were all plowed. People were panting and sweating, and then they returned to the ground, took out the wine and food they brought, and enjoyed it. Some noble concubines even played and sang , singing and dancing to add to the fun, a good spring plowing ceremony, and finally turned into singing and dancing to promote peace!

As for these fields, there are experienced old farmers who specialize in fertilizing, watering, catching insects, and weeding. Wait until the golden autumn of October, no matter what happens elsewhere, there must be a 'bumpy harvest' here, and then report it to the court for a good celebration One time!

With the end of the Spring Plowing Ceremony, countless messengers rushed to the four directions, edicting all the people, spring plowing has officially started, take good care of the land, strive to harvest more grain, and pay more imperial grain... For a time, the land of the Central Plains was full of farmers, and cattle were everywhere. , diligently, live and multiply!

Spring plowing has begun, and the pace of war is not far away...

Chapter 959 The arrow points to Hebei

In the fifth year of Jian'an, on February 21st, half a month after the Spring Plowing Ceremony!

In the prime minister's mansion - in the secret room, Cao Cao once again convened civil and military officials to discuss major military affairs. Unlike the last discussion on strategy, this time he is really going to send troops to the Northern Expedition. Therefore, the military generals are fully clothed and enter the battle state, and the counselors are also wearing long swords. To show the spirit of martial arts!

The huge cowhide map is full of various military symbols, densely packed and orderly. Cao Ying has 10 people and horses, and they have been secretly assembled in place, just like a pair of drawn bows.
