Planting a Tech Tree in Three Kingdoms

The day before going to Biezhuang, Nan Xing went to bid farewell to Mrs. Zhang.

"Mum, you can stay at your new home with peace of mind. With my father around, no one can bully you." Although Zhang Gui is a kind and unlucky person, there is no threat to Zhang's ability to rely on him for life, and he looks good. Beautiful woman, it is very good.

Nan Xing is more worried about Mrs. Zhang's safety.

Mrs. Zhang obviously didn't know anything.Zhang Gui treated her very well, and she already trusted her husband very much, "It's only natural, your father treats me well. You must study hard when you go to Biezhuang!"

Zhang Gui told Mrs. Zhang what he knew about Nan Xing's daughter a year ago, and promised to raise her Jiji and love her like his own daughter, so Mrs. Zhang was completely relieved.

Nan Xing listened to her mother's instructions with a smile on her face, enjoying the few affection and care she could feel.

After bidding farewell to his mother, Nan Xing also set off for Zhang Gui's Zhuangzi near Luoyang City.Before leaving, she asked Zhang Gui for a few strong guards, and she didn't expect to fight, mainly to bluff people.

"Young master, Zhuangzi is ahead." A guard tapped on the shaft of the car and reminded Nan Xingdao from outside.

"Hurry up! There are quite a lot of things to do today." Nan Xing held the account book sent by Tang Steward earlier, and lightly parted her lips.

"Yes."

The people in the Zhuangzi had long heard that there was a young master who was a genius in the master's house, and they had sent people to the Zhuangzi two years ago.But because Nanxing had never been to Biezhuang, all the stewards on the Zhuangzi greeted him by the side of the road.

Unfortunately, Nan Xing didn't get off the car.

"The young master ordered all the stewards to gather at the mansion." The guard loudly conveyed Nan Xing's order, "The young master will see you when you get home. If you can't make it, the stewards don't have to do it."

The stewards, who were originally whispering, immediately turned around and ran to the place where Nan Xing temporarily stayed after hearing this.Just kidding, this position of stewardship is hard to come by, how can you lose it because of such a trivial matter?

What about Nan Xing?She didn't deliberately make it difficult for the stewards, she didn't go home immediately by car, but let the servants clean up first, but she walked to the field.

Not caring about his expensive clothes at all, Nan Xing took off his shoes and rolled up the hem of his clothes and walked to the ridge.

There are still old farmers working in the field, and seeing a rich man go to the field at this time, his heart is lifted.

"Don't pull out things casually..." The old man secretly watched Nan Xing's activities while harvesting the wheat.

Nan Xing carefully avoided the stubble, and reached out to grab a handful of soil.

When the soil was twisted in the hand for a little while, it became like ashes, without stickiness, and the color was dull.

At first glance, it is short of water and fertilizer.

"Old man!" Nan Xing called to the old farmer who was harvesting wheat in front of him, and asked, "How is the harvest this year? Can you have enough to eat?"

When the old man saw the rich boy asking about these things, he was sarcastically saying, "Boy who has never experienced hardship, it is good for ordinary people to have a stutter these days. Are you still full? Dreaming!"

"What about farm tools? Are they easy to use?" Nan Xing ignored the old man's sarcasm and continued to ask.

Seeing that Nan Xing was not angry, the old farmer immediately started talking.

"I've had this farm tool for years! It's really blunt, but what money do we tenants have to buy new ones?"

Nan Xing nodded, indicating that he was very clear.

"What about the paper mill in Zhuangzi? Why don't you let your family work there, you should be able to earn a lot!" She is still very confident in the conditions she gave.

Unexpectedly, the old man laughed when he heard this.

"To make paper, you need to be a craftsman, and ordinary people can't do it."

After Nan Xing understood the situation, he said goodbye to the old man with a smile.

It seems that what you want to do, you have to start by improving everyone's life!

Back at the house, Nan Xing quickly changed his clothes.Lu Shui had already packed her things in a fixed place, Nan Xing picked up the accounts at the familiar place, and walked to the front yard.

Feared by the guards, the stewards stayed obediently in the front yard.Butler Tang is doing roll call---this method was also taught by Nan Xing.

After Nan Xing sat down on the porch, Butler Tang bowed and reported to her, "Young master, we are all here."

"En." Looking up to signal the guard to close the door, Nan Xing flipped through the account book and said.

"I know that I am young, but I have been trusted by my father and managed the family for two years. I know a little about the books. It is not easy for everyone, but it is not good to take what should not be taken, isn't it? "Nan Xing's voice was not very loud, and his tone was not serious, but the people below were a little timid after hearing it.

No one has been in charge of this village all year round. Even if a paper mill was built a few years ago, the people in charge ignored them.I'm used to this reckless behavior. It's the first time my master finds out about such dirty things, and everyone is a little scared.

Nan Xing flipped through the accounts, and all she saw were messy alterations. Even though she had pushed the "form" to the end for more than a year, these stewards were extremely chaotic.

Standing up, Nan Xing looked at the stewards kneeling together, "I don't believe that you are willing to pay fifty baht for an egg."

"And along the way, I didn't see how good the tenants are eating?" She handed the account book in her hand to Butler Tang who was standing aside, patted the clothes, and said, "I will see the completed one in three days." Accounts, if anyone gets away with it, you'd better hope I don't find out."

"I'm new in charge of Zhuangzi, and I still need to study how to distribute errands. Everyone should leave!"

"Yes." Regardless of what they planned in their hearts, the stewards below all followed orders and left.

After everyone in the yard retreated, Nan Xing took Steward Tang to the study room that had been tidied up.

The two sat down, and Nan Xing squinted his eyes to look through the inventory book in the warehouse.This is done by Tang Butler himself, and his work is much better than those of the stewards.

"Why are there so few scythes in storage?" Nan Xing tapped on the table, motioning Tang Steward to give him an answer.

The current salt and iron system is in the form of government supervision and private taxation. In theory, there will be no iron shortage in private villages.What's more, last year His Majesty rewarded Zhang Gui with an iron mine.

"The main family does not lack iron ore, but there are few craftsmen." The ironmaking technology at this time was very complicated, and it was difficult to guarantee the output.What's more, wealthy families are willing to let the blacksmiths make some novelties, and rarely order to update the farm tools on the farm.

"Let's do this! Help me find some strong ones, and I'll make something." Nan Xing understands that it's better to just pour the potting now than recruiting workers to start the furnace.

Although the quality of the iron forged by indigenous steelmaking is not too high to be called "steel", it is superior in that it is manufactured quickly and has a high yield.It's not very labor intensive either.Sure enough for a scythe.

Who knew Tang Butler rejected Nan Xing's suggestion very simply.

"Recently, during the wheat harvest period, there is no manpower available for the time being." No matter what happens, the farming time must not be delayed.

"Then let's transport some iron ore first, and we can discuss the rest during the slack period." Nan Xing took a new notebook and wrote down the things he planned to do.

Seeing that Nan Xing did not insist, Tang Butler was relieved.At this time, it is not wise to recruit tenants to work.Many families rely on the harvest at this time to feed themselves. If the time is delayed, Zhuangzi will starve to death this year.

Nan Xing didn't understand this. In the past, he was starving because of his mother's abuse. When he arrived in Luoyang, no matter how cruel Zhang Gui was, he didn't let their mother and child suffer. They were well-clothed and well-fed.

Now she wants to get out of this natural psychology and get closer to people's livelihood.

Nan Xing was obviously also aware of this situation.

After chatting with Butler Tang about the situation in the Zhuangzi, she clapped her hands and stood up and said to Butler Tang, "Come on, let's go to the Zhuangzi."

The farms in the Han Dynasty were basically self-sufficient. The main job of the tenants was farming, and the harvest had to be handed in except for the rations.

The tenants attach great importance to the annual wheat harvest. When Nan Xing arrived in the field, there were already many more people working than when she came before.

Nan Xing didn't bother the farmers anymore, but stood on the field ridge with Steward Tang.Watching the sweaty work of the men, their hands were blistered by the scythe that was not easy to use, and they did not dare to rest.The women and their children picked up wheat ears with baskets behind them, and if they picked up a little more, the whole family could have an extra meal.
