The days when I pretended to be a cat in the Forbidden City[Comprehensive]

Xia Anran suppressed Liu Zhi, who wanted to refute, and responded calmly: "Indeed, if the farmers want everything, it is very likely that nothing will be achieved. Moreover, it depends on the situation of the region, not every place It is suitable to use this kind of planting method.”

"Hey, the Jiaodong country you ruled is not suitable for this kind of method." The little king unfolded a rough map for a few little beans to see, and he compared a river line for everyone.

"There is only one river in Jiaodong country!" Han Yan immediately wrinkled her face, showing a little disgusted expression, Liu Zhi also looked very cautious, and a few little bean dings showed "Ah! This is really too bad." up" expression.

Xia Anran was silently moved by the actions of these super-looking children in her heart, and was about to speak when Dou Wan said softly: "Drain water, irrigate the canal."

"really."

Xia Anran looked at Dou Wan with admiration, then smiled and said to the children: "A very remarkable person once said that struggling with the sky and the earth is a lot of fun!"

"If there is no condition, we will create the conditions ourselves. If there is no good soil, we will pile it up by ourselves; if there is no good field, we will cultivate it by ourselves; if there is no waterway..."

"Let's lead by ourselves!" Liu She clenched his fists, his black pupils shining brightly, "Watch water from the sky, and land from the earth!"

"Brother is amazing!"

"It's not that I'm great..." Xia Anran stretched out her hand and gently wiped a spot of dirt on her younger brother's cheek, and said silently in her heart, the country behind me is the most powerful, who has fought against heaven and earth since its appearance in history, and has done everything The "impossible" things, the historical wealth left to the world are mostly major water conservancy projects, defense projects, and cultural relics of the Chinese nation.

When encountering natural disasters and catastrophes in other countries and praying to gods and worshiping Buddha, they don't complain about others, and they are the first to provide disaster relief, fight against disasters, and treat disasters in that country.

So from the bottom of his heart, he has so many ideas of not admitting defeat, because we are born not knowing how to compromise with nature.

And the source of that reluctance to admit defeat is also the little Douding in front of him.Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty——Liu Che.

He stretched out his hand and patted the little prince's shoulder, "Governing the feudal kingdom still needs to be tailored to local conditions, son, my brother has never been to Jiaodong Kingdom, so you can only try it yourself how to govern it."

"I know!" The child nodded, looking around, trying to remember everything he saw today in his little head.Then, he heard Xia Anran calmly say the words that he will remember all his life: "There will never be a single road that can reach all places, and there will never be a solution that can solve all problems. Adapt measures to local conditions and know how to make trade-offs.”

"Look more, listen more, ask more, think more, and if you find mistakes, correct them in time," his elder brother smiled at him standing in the sun: "It's nothing to dare to point out other people's mistakes, even a child Those who can do it and point out their own mistakes are the true warriors."

In the sixth month of the lunar calendar, Xia Anran completed her answer sheet and sent it to the capital.

After sending it out, he didn't have time to worry about how his father would react when he received the answer, because the preparations for the first autumn harvest after the founding of the Zhongshan Kingdom began.

Since the beginning of spring plowing, Da Sinong has arranged supporting equipment in Zhongshan. After all, Zhongshan will inevitably have insufficient infrastructure after the restructuring. Xia Anran is very satisfied with his enthusiasm for work.

But he still made something that Da Si Nong hadn't expected - a threshing machine and a fan cart.

The former is used for threshing, and the latter is used to separate the grains that are empty or not fully mature from the mature high-quality rice.

With these two tools, farmers can save at least [-]% of the preparation time for warehousing during the precious autumn harvest.

In addition, there are wheelbarrows that were previously pushed up to transport goods.

Although the actual use effect of these tools is not yet known because the autumn harvest has not yet started, but according to the observation of Da Si Nong, it should be able to save nearly ten days.

So kind!

If it can be popularized, how many days will it take for the whole big man?The maturity of farmland has always been advancing from south to north, and it does not happen overnight. That is to say, if these tools can be used and the timing is good, the best situation is that farmers who have finished harvesting grain in the south can come to help the north. The farmers in the north can naturally save a lot of time with the help from the south.

As for the use of these time savings?Then there is no need to ask!

Da Sinong stared at the little official who spoke blankly, with a bit of hatred for iron and steel: "Farmers in the north can save time for autumn harvest, so naturally they can use it to guard the frontier."

The composition of the frontier soldiers in the early Han Dynasty was complex, but an important source of them was the border people. From the Qin Dynasty, the border people basically migrated from the evil people who committed crimes in the country, and the folk customs were quite tough.In the Han Dynasty, there were soldiers who came to help others and developed feelings for them for a long time. These people served in the army, but they were not registered in the army and could retire normally.

People have retreated, but their hearts have stayed here. These people have grown up here for generations, and mixed with various sources of complex personnel. In short, the border atmosphere of the Han Dynasty is definitely only two words-sturdy .

The location of Zhongshan Kingdom is basically similar to that of Zhongshan Kingdom in the Warring States Period. The people here were able to carry the status of the country of Qiancheng for nearly 200 years in the eyes of several vassal states. Later, they even forced King Zhao Wuling to practice Hufu riding and shooting. It can be seen that it is brave.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the Dasinonghui raised by this land said that "the frontier army can take this opportunity to wait for the rabbit, and when the Huns think that the northern land is busy with the autumn harvest and going south, it is not surprising that they will be caught off guard."

The little official was dumbfounded, he looked in shock at the Da Si Nong who said such belligerent words, and he didn't know what to reply.Fortunately, Da Sinong himself didn't expect his reply at first, he just sighed and said: "Hey, I don't know if Your Highness will accept my suggestion, Rong Chen will repay my innocent heart."

You played it too!

The little official was even more frightened, no, what did you play?Our Zhongshan country is not a frontier!

Zhongshan is not a frontier, but Daijun is.

The improvement of agricultural tools is just icing on the cake for Zhongshan. Zhongshan is originally a country of farming. Now the effect of using new farm tools is that the people of Zhongshan can have more free time to do their own things. .

For example, join various workshops or collect various raw materials needed by the little king, and develop poultry farming and handicraft industry.Frankly speaking, for Zhongshan Country, if losing these agricultural tools is not painful, at most there will be some economic losses, but it is completely different for Beidi.

So Da Si Nong's suggestion is, can we transport this batch of agricultural equipment to Dai County in the north after this year's autumn harvest is completed, and help them harvest it?

Zhongshan country grows rice, and Daijun in the north grows wheat. There is a time difference between them, and after the crops are harvested, there is still a time for stacking and drying to facilitate threshing. In theory, it is completely in time.

Xia Anran thought about it for a long time, and felt that this mode of operation was a bit like the modern "Mike" - a group of professional harvesters would fight north and south as the wheat matured, and they sold their labor to help local farmers harvest.With the development of mechanized agriculture, this group of "Maike" has become a harvesting brigade loaded with harvesters.

For farmers, they only need to make an appointment with these professional harvesters every year when the wheat is ripe, and pay a much smaller cost than harvesting with a harvester or hiring villagers to easily obtain wheat grains.For the "Macks", this income can make up for the idle cost of their machinery.

This is a countermeasure to deal with the special situation of modern Chinese small farmers' production and management mode, that is, the cross-regional machine harvesting model.

The proposal put forward by Dasinong is similar to this method. With this mode of operation, many agricultural tools in Zhongshan Country can still function during their idle time, and can also earn some income.

Xia Anran thought for a while, if time permits, it doesn't matter to him, the problem is whether it is convenient for Daijuna, after all, didn't Daijuna prefect Li Guangna just suffer from King Liang?

Does Li Guang mind?

Li Guang doesn't mind at all!Not only do not mind, but also very positive.

The rice in Zhongshan is not yet mature, and there are few examples of using agricultural equipment, especially the threshing machine, but the fan cart has been tested.

As soon as the people sent by Daijun visited, they immediately signed a cooperation agreement with Da Sinong.

At that time, Zhongshan Country will help to transport the machine to Daijun to help the local people threshing and sorting, and Daijun will use the new wheat as labor service fee.

Li Guang also received news this year that a trade window between Han and Hungarians may be set up in Daijun in the future. However, the specific regulations have not yet been issued, and now he just said a few words "Prefect Li must be prepared" Kind of crap.

To prepare your grandma's legs, you can tell me how to prepare, do I need to sharpen the knife first, or prepare for raising the city wall by one layer?If it's the kind of preparation for recruiting troops, you have to say it early!

However, the first picture of "you guessed it" made Li Guang feel uncomfortable all over his body.

In such an anxious state, he is even more concerned about the autumn harvest. Now that the wheat is filling grain, Li Taishou will hang around the wheat and corn fields when he is free, wishing to use his eyes to help these millets carry out photosynthesis. Harvesting grain one day earlier means harvesting grain one day earlier.It just so happened that at this moment Zhongshan extended a friendly hand, and Li Guangcai couldn't care less.

He was more than just shaking hands, he immediately wanted to buy one by letting people climb up the pole.

Nonsense, borrowing we can only see with our eyes, if we buy one, if it works, we immediately dismantle it, study it and rebuild a bunch, isn’t it much faster than borrowing it?

After satisfying his sincere patriotism, Dasinong immediately recovered his nature of profiteer after hearing the words, and immediately said that we will not make an appointment, but you can buy our machine next year, because everyone is an old neighbor. It can be cheaper for you!

Daijun Xiaoli: ...I have already taken a copper mine, why are you still so picky? !

The little official thought about it, but didn't notice that Da Sinong's expression froze immediately.

Da Sinong, who had been stabbed in the heart, was also full of grief and indignation.Yes, people who don't know must think that Zhongshan Kingdom must be full of copper coins now, but only they themselves know that Zhongshan Kingdom's money warehouse has hardly had more than one copper plate so far.

All the copper coins from the new coinage were used to buy limestone and clay from other places.

Zhongshan Kingdom itself actually has these things, but Zhongshan King chose not to use local resources for the time being, but to buy them from the surrounding counties.

Otherwise, how could there be so much business in the logistics chain created by the little princes?At the beginning, who believed that this chain was reliable or not, it was all because of the support of the business by the family.

Outsiders thought that Zhongshan Kingdom was going to overhaul the palace, but in fact Zhongshan King wanted to use it to pave the way.

The little king’s reason is very good. Since he wants to build a logistics chain, of course he can’t just rely on Dad’s avenue. In addition to the main road, they also have to build small branches by themselves. His first choice is to build Lunu to Fukasawa. A road with two horse-drawn carriages.

Fukasawa is the gateway for Zhongshan Kingdom to trade with Hejian Kingdom in the future. It is located at the border of Zhongshan Kingdom and Julu County, and it is also in the south of Zhongshan Kingdom. Relatively speaking, it is less affected by the winter freeze.

Moreover, it is far away from the road, and the trade is underdeveloped. It is mainly based on agriculture, and the labor cost is low, but the population is large.After the port is built there, it can also stimulate the local tertiary industry.

The three southernmost counties of Zhongshan State, Xinshi, Wuji, and Shenze are basically on the same level.

Xinshi County is bordered by the main road, and Wuji County is adjacent to the Hutuo River, which is the upper reaches of Shenze County. This part of the river can be used to become a transfer point for the main road and river transportation. After the road in Wuji County is completed, Zhongshan Country There is a large traffic triangle in the south, and its top is Lunu, the capital of Zhongshan.

The goods from the northern road can be transferred to Shenze boarding through Lunu, while the goods from the south can go to the boarding point in Wuji County or Xinshi County.

At the same time, Shenze can also promote the trade of Julu County... Cough, this will be very developed at that time, and we can discuss the port usage fee with the neighbors next door.

If there is no accident, the land of fish and rice in Hejian Kingdom can become a spare granary for Zhongshan Kingdom after the road is connected.

...Shh, I can't speak out about this ambition.

Otherwise, the next time we meet will be the day when brother Xia will be chased and beaten by his second brother.

His second brother looks like a literary youth, but every prince in the old Liu family is actually very good at fighting.If he couldn't fight back, it is estimated that Xia Anran's tail hair could be bald by his second brother.

In addition to paving the road, Xia Anran also arranged part of this year's corvee work before the autumn harvest.

Strong laborers in the south built roads, and strong laborers in the north built city walls.

Kiwi juice acts as an excellent binder in this.

Previously, the fruit had been pruned for fruit thinning after flowering, and some old vines were cut off. Of course, it is inevitable that there will be vines that died during the transplantation process.

These vines ooze out a certain sticky juice after being soaked in water and washed. This pectin-like substance will make a basin of water full of stickiness.

In terms of actual application effect, it can basically replace the function of rice soup.As a result, Xia Anran was liberated and no longer had to eat raw rice.

The summer in the north is dry and hot, but thunderstorms come at any time. Such weather has brought a certain burden to the infrastructure work, because one of the disadvantages of the composite soil is that the layer must be completely dry before it can continue to be stacked.

Later, after the craftsmen used the canopy to keep out the rain, and found that the effect was not good, they directly customized a simple version of the rain shield without brackets to cover the top of the city wall, and the speed of the project was accelerated.

A few little Doudings watched Xia Anran's approvals for the transfer of various materials, with their mouths open, watching with great interest. Later, when Xia Anran was too busy, Liu Zhi asked for help.

The children's homework is very easy, and they can spare a lot of free time every day.

Moreover, these children all have a wild intuition, although they are young, they are not easy to fool.Children are the most sincere in doing things, with sharp eyes and strong energy, so if you want to pick a thorn, you must pick one.

After figuring out the acceptance criteria, several children held hammers in their hands and beat all the way. When they found that the Sanhe soil was not dry, they immediately asked people to rework with a stern face. A servant is ashamed.

In order to show the prestige of the children, Xia Anran also asked people to make a few small seals for them. The little bean dings carried the seal ink pads with them, and after being judged to be qualified, they were very serious about stamping on the other party's list.Relying on these seals, this year's servants can exchange for small gifts after finishing their work.

These servants are completely voluntary labor, without wages, and Zhongshan only pays for food.Theoretically, they still have to bring their own tools, but Xia Anran was provided by the state because of the deadline.

Because it is a nationwide system, Xia Anran will naturally not challenge the rules. It is a trivial matter to pay a salary, but it is a major matter to offend other uncles, brothers and relatives for no reason.But he really couldn't bear this kind of labor-squeezing move, so he took advantage of the loophole and started the exchange mode.

The materials exchanged include a wedding gift bag, as well as practical items such as farm tools and cloth. Basically, if you work hard, you can still save some wife's money after a month.

Of course, there are more practical goods for some bachelors, such as salted eggs, piglets and so on.Therefore, this year's service in Zhongshan is in full swing, and basically the rework rate is very low.

Liu Zhi was entrusted with the important task of managing the three children, and he himself reported directly to Xia Anran that the children were doing very well.

But for Dou Wan, Xia Anran did not make arrangements.

Because Dou Wan's study load is very huge, even bigger than Xia Anran's.

Xia Anran took the initiative to study various classics before, and his homework was already terrible. I didn't expect that Dou Wan's learning tasks were similar to his.

Xia Anran felt that he had the understanding of an adult after all, and he himself had some understanding of the pre-Qin philosophers, and he had seen a lot of lectures from later generations, so although he was praised for his spirituality, it was because he had the foundation to learn from others. , but Dou Wan is completely different.

He has almost a photographic memory, is extremely capable of drawing inferences from one instance, and is naturally sensitive to some political slang words. In the analysis of Han Ying's various allusions, he can find the code words in them.

If Xia Anran hadn't met him more than half a year ago, and knew what he looked like before school started, he would have thought that this person also came from time travel.Is this the comprehension ability of a teenager?Or is it like this for young geniuses in ancient times?

And it's not just literature class, Dou Wan also has to learn music theory and weapons.

It only took Han Ying seven or eight days from the beginning to teach this student for Dou Ying's sake, but he has not yet accepted Dou Wan as a disciple.

Han Ying can't have a disciple of the Dou family, it's too sensitive to put the names of the two families together, especially when the Han family already has a tenth prince to accompany them.

Such lack of status is quite unfair to Dou Wan. Han Ying is a great Confucian. If he enters the officialdom in the future, having the title of Han Ying will save him a lot of effort, but looking at it now, it is a good thing.

Not having a mentor means that Dou Wan also has no constraints. He can learn everything he wants to learn. After all, learning and having a mentor are two different things.It's a little troublesome to learn next.

Later, Dou Wan went to find Cheng Bushi to learn the art of war and martial arts.

After touching Xia Anran's bones, Cheng Buzhi's expression was indescribable, but after touching Dou Wan's skeleton, he really smiled.He immediately brought Dou Wanbala into the school grounds, and practiced martial arts together with the little king and Cheng Wu.

Xia Anran felt much better when someone squatted together with her companion. The two simply squatted while discussing in a low voice what they learned in school today. say.

Xia Anran is still studying legalism, while Dou Wan is all Confucianism, so it happens that you give me lectures and I give you lectures, so hurry up and study in spare time, both of them think this is a good way.Cheng Wu, whose ears were tortured at the same time as his body was tortured, suffered.

But as soon as Cheng Wu took up the weapon, Xia Anran would not dare to deal with him. After all, the little king is thin-skinned and soft-skinned. Dad hangs up and whips.But the newcomer...

"Hey, how about we have a fight?" Cheng Wu pointed the gun at Dou Wan when Cheng Bushi was called away by the soldiers and Xia Anran went to wash his hands again.

Hearing this, the young boy slightly raised his eyes to look at him, his dark eyes were so piercing that one could think of the ice and snow in midwinter.That's really not a flattering thing, Cheng Wu frowned reflexively, why is this person so different from his predecessors?

He handed the gun in his hand to Dou Wan: "You haven't learned martial arts, I'll give you the weapon, don't say I'm bullying you."

Dou Wan glanced at the spear, but didn't go to pick it up. He put down the book, stood up and said calmly, "No need."

"what?"

The boy stood in place and slowly tied all the sleeves of his robe neatly: "I have learned it before, so you don't need to let me."

"That's what you said!" Cheng Wu became interested as soon as he saw it, he inserted the gun into the shelf, and rushed up with one kick.

Xia Anran walked out of the latrine shaking her hands, so as to quickly dry off the water on her hands, but when he turned around the corridor, he saw Cheng Wu sitting on the ground with his back facing him, and he could be seen from the back There seemed to be a piece of grass in his mouth, and the tip of the grass was still shaking.

Dou Wan was sitting under the shade of a tree and reading a book quietly just like when he left. The caring little king immediately approached Dou Wan with small steps when he saw this appearance, and asked his little friend: "What's wrong with Wu? That's it?"

"Well," Dou Wan put down the bamboo scroll lightly, and smiled slightly at the young boy who looked over curiously, "He's just like this all of a sudden."

"Oh!" Xia Anran, who didn't know anything, just wanted to care about her little friend, when Dou Wan suddenly said, "By the way, Your Highness knows about the warehouse?"

"Warehouse?" Xia Anran stopped her steps to care, and slightly raised her eyebrows to express that she didn't know about it. There seemed to be no news recently, so Dou Wan explained to him what happened recently.

When making the fan cart, because the rice of this year has not been harvested, the principle of the fan cart is to use the vertical wind to blow the falling millet at a uniform speed, and to judge the quality of the millet by blowing the lighter millet away.To put it bluntly, it is to use a simple method of screening weight to operate

Therefore, the strength of the fan is very important. If the wind is too strong, the good grains will be blown away, and it will be wasted.

This point must go through a lot of experiments to get the data, so Da Si Nong specially approved the people in the workshop to use Chen Gu from Zhongshan Kingdom.

Unexpectedly, the rice harvested from Zhongshan State last year was poured in and sifted aside. When the fan blew, a lot of rice was blown out immediately, and the amount was not small.At first, the craftsmen thought that the wind force of the experimental product was too strong, but when they were about to adjust it, they found that the millet had been bitten by insects to varying degrees.

It turned out that a batch of rice worms had been mixed into Lu Nu's grain depot at some point, and now the hot weather happened to be its high breeding season, and when the big farmer went crazy and asked people to unpack the bags for inspection, they found many adult worms.

Fortunately, it was discovered early, and rice bran was kept when it was stored. This layer is the natural protective layer of rice grains. It is difficult for rice worms to break through, but because of the presence of rice bran, everyone did not notice that there were worms in it.

Xia Anran frowned: "And then?"

"Da Si Nong is passing the rice one by one through the fan cart," Dou Wan said softly, "It's a big mess."

"There are a lot of people watching the excitement, but most of them are people who are in the village."

Seeing that the little king was a bit puzzled, Dou Wan lowered his eyes, with some sarcasm in his eyes: "They thought that something happened to the granary in Zhongshan Country, and the grain storage was destroyed, and His Highness has two major projects that consume a lot of grain, so they should be in the next step." It’s going to be a big buy.”

So, these businessmen started hoarding food, wanting to take this opportunity to make a fortune?

The author has something to say:

Cheng Wu:? ? ? ? ? HELLO?

The author hugged his chest in distress: It's strange, this rabbit doesn't seem to be the character I set before!

Xia Meow: Meow~

In the middle~cough, it is the words of Grandpa Mao, you understand.

The Zhongshan country where Xia Miao is located is the Zhongshan country, DEI, the last straw in the National Treasure, which roamed among several big countries in a vertical and horizontal way, and finally forced King Zhao Wuling to engage in Hufu riding and shooting.

And it is in the land of Yanzhao, so it can't be seen normally, but in fact, the folk customs are very sturdy.

Probably only Xia Miao thought everyone was honest.

Among the major projects left in China that can be called miracles, if you don’t count the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang (after all, what they have found so far, they just collected some hand-made ones), most of the projects and buildings are either to protect the people or to bless them. For the common people, the painting style is very different from other countries.

After all, the buildings in other countries that can match the "miracle" are... well, you know.

By the way, the Taihang Mountain in "The Foolish Old Man Moves the Mountain" refers to the Taihang Mountains on the left side of Zhongshan Country where Xia Miao is located, so the mentality of man's determination to conquer nature was very popular before Confucianism bound the emperor and natural disasters together (of course, most people also No, that’s fine, as long as the emperor believes it.)
