Chapter 429 The Farmer’s Sign and the Mohist’s Sign [Please subscribe! 】

Chen Zhi landed in northern Xinjiang and became the prefect of a county, provided that there was a vacancy here.

The vacancies in the north were originally Guangning and Liaoxi counties. Chen Zhi originally planned to take up the post in Guangning. Because of Wang Jun's relationship, he was transferred from Guangning to Dai County, which also made the situation completely different.

"The governor of Guangning had to be expelled because of something?" Zhang Kang showed doubts, "It was mentioned in a letter from my brother that the reason why the governor of Guangning was expelled was because of the disaster for Chi Yu. The leader of Duanbu Xianbei promised to give him the title of Duke of Liaoxi before he expelled the prefect of Liaoxi County, and in order not to appear abrupt, he even expelled the prefect of Guangning County."

"I can hear that too." Yang Song nodded.

"Perhaps this matter had a different origin from the beginning," Chen Zi pondered for a moment and said with some uncertainty: "Or maybe Liaoxi County was actually inserted in order to prevent the expulsion of Guangning Prefect from appearing abrupt. What about?"

Originally, Wang Jun's purpose was to expel the governor of Liaoxi, and Guangning was just a foil, but now it seems that the opposite may be true.

Su Liao also pondered: "Thinking about it this way, it is indeed a bit wrong to rashly expel a prefect of a county. Could it be that something is really hidden?"

Chen Zhi interrupted a few people and gave instructions: "Mr. Su, you first train a few spies and focus on exploring Guangning County to see if there is any change there. If you want to come to Guangning and exchange for the prefect of Daijun, it may not only be for the sake of Considering the strategy, it is possible to hide something.”

"No!" Su Liao nodded, "If we can verify what happened in Guangning, we can also confirm Tuoba Yulu's words from the side. If what he said is true, we will be implicated even if we don't participate, so we must be defensive. It is necessary to use manpower and material resources to affect farming production. When wheat is planted, the autumn harvest is around the corner. You cannot mobilize people just because of a word. But if it is true, you must prepare in advance, otherwise it will be too late. It will only affect the harvest, but it will not be the case. Wonderful."

"Yes, this is also a real problem. In this way, we will first act according to Mr. Su's plan and try to win over the aristocratic families. At the same time, we will train spies to understand the specific situation of the people and farmers." As he spoke, Chen Zhi shook his head. , "The time is tight, the tasks are heavy, and the key manpower is not enough. When the people from Xuzhou and Guanzhong come over, we have to start practicing as soon as possible. We also have to talk to them and let them speed up."

"Don't worry, I'll hurry up." Yang Song quickly patted his chest, otherwise, he would feel that he was of little use.

Chen Zhi nodded, and said again: "It's almost time, I have to go to the banquet, this banquet meant to be familiar with the Daijun family, maybe I can learn from that Mr. From my mouth, I got one or two confirmations."

After the explanation, everyone said goodbye to Chen Zhi and went about their business.

At this meeting, the next course of action was established. Although there were still uncertainties, Chen Zhi roughly explained the direction and everyone understood the next arrangement. At the same time, it also made everyone a little worried.

"What do you think of what the Lord said?" After the meeting, the people dispersed. Su Liao deliberately slowed down and came to Chen Zi's side and asked in a low voice.

Chen Zi stopped, glanced at him lightly, and said, "Mr. Su, is there anything you want to say?"

Su Liao didn't hide anything, and simply opened his mouth and said, "Although the lord has revealed a lot of news today, some of the decisions have made me a little worried. What do you think, Mr. Chen?"

"The decision of the prefect depends on him," Chen Zi pondered for a moment, and then said, "As staff, you and I can advise you, but once the prefect makes a decision, you and I can only find ways to assist and let the prefect You can achieve what you want! You shouldn’t force yourself to change your mind, and you can’t change it.”

"I understand." Although he was still worried, Su Liao nodded after hearing this.

Chen Zi added: "We understand that you are worried. We are worried that the prefect has just arrived and has real power. He will forget about it. He feels that the prefect still has unfinished business. It seems that because he is interested in the tenants and common people, he may become an enemy of the family. But this may be It's because we haven't fully understood and understood the prefect's actions in the past, so that when we get to a new place, we won't forget about it and forget everything."

"Well, Mr. Chen is right." Seeing that Chen Zi was thinking similarly to his own, Su Liao was somewhat relieved, "Let's see what's going on behind the lord, I'll pick a few spies first, the first batch of servants sent by Pengcheng It’s almost here, in the next few days.”

With that said, the two of them left.

On the other side, Chen Zhi simply sorted out his official duties, then put them down and went to the back hall. After arriving at the table, he took out three things from his arms.

But it was a scroll, two pieces of paper with strange lines drawn on them, and five talismans with complex patterns.

"Looking at the current situation, the objects obtained from these three sticks can be of great use, but if you can't fully grasp some people, you can only make wedding dresses for others in the end." He stretched out his hand and slowly removed the stick. Scroll.

As the scroll unfolded, a picture was revealed, which was a field. The strange roots in the field were half-hidden in the soil, looming. The entire field stretched continuously, and it seemed to occupy a large area.

"The farmer's lottery, what you get is really extraordinary. Once this "Picture of Tibetan Species" is unfolded and buried in the ground, in the first half of the year, the species in the painting can be turned into reality. When this thing is unearthed, large-scale Planting has so many benefits, it is enough to double the food production of Dai County and even the entire northern Xinjiang!"

Looking at the things in the picture, Chen Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly and sketched the blueprint behind it.

"However, although this plant is high-yielding, drought-resistant, adaptable, and easy to manage, the roots and vines used as seeds are not easy to store and cannot withstand moisture and freezing. Once the deficiency becomes reality, the seeds must be planted as soon as possible. Don't delay, otherwise it will be wasted. , but most of the farmers in Dai County are in the hands of aristocratic families. If I don't liberate them, then after the planting is replanted and promoted, the profits from the fruits will be swayed by the aristocratic families. With the aristocratic family's style of doing things, they will not stay at all. I'm afraid that when the time comes In the end, the farmers still only had enough food to make a living, and had no motivation or interest to expand reproduction. On the contrary, the aristocratic families became more powerful and intensified their land occupation, which not only made it difficult to conquer, but also further worsened the land annexation."

With this in mind, he closed the scroll.

"Therefore, it is urgent to liberate farmers and tenants and promote new affiliations. Even if there is no war in Northern Xinjiang, we must promote it as soon as possible! It is now approaching autumn, and the best time for planting this plant has passed, but next year during Qingming Festival, we must pilot Planting, extrapolating from this, the time for burying the picture is only two to three months, so wait for the first half of the year to catch up. From the estimates drawn in the picture, the number of plants turned into reality is very considerable, and it requires a lot of manpower to grow for a season. It can be doubled after planting again, and the scope of influence will become larger and larger. If used properly, it will be enough for my power to take root in the north, but the prerequisite is that I must have my own manpower!"

After thinking about this, Chen Zhi looked away from the scroll.

"The Zhu family and the Wang family of the four major families in Daijun took root in the form of separate families. This proves that even if people leave here, they can still continue to influence and interfere. What's more, I didn't leave in six years. There are still people above the prefect. Inspector, there is room for other manipulations above the Inspector, but in this way, it is inevitable to get involved with Wang Jun. In the original history, this person was not well evaluated. I don’t know how history has changed. For Youzhou, is he good or bad? bad."

After the thought fell, Chen Zhi's hand fell on two pieces of paper again.

The texture of these two pieces of paper is white, much better than mulberry paper, and the surface is extremely smooth.

Chen Zhi's eyes swept over the paper, moving along the line segments on it, taking in the whole view.

The line segments are intertwined and intertwined, forming a complex whole. At first glance, it seems to be an object with a complex structure, but it is still changing.

"These two 'Tiger-like-a-Tiger Machinery Diagrams' are from the Mohist School. They are signatures that have never been encountered in previous lives. According to the introduction, machine diagrams are not blueprints. If you make objects based on the lines above, you will not get anything useful. This thing The real function is to assist, perfect and stimulate!"

Chen Zhi's eyes showed a little sparkle.

“The development of any mechanism or equipment must go through repeated trials, continuous attempts and improvements in terms of materials, processes, structures, operating methods, etc., and finally take shape. This process often takes several generations, decades, or even hundreds of years. It takes more time to perfect, but many times because of the wrong thinking, it has entered a dead end, no matter how difficult it is to make an inch, it is difficult."

"But on the other hand, in the history of the development of equipment, there are many examples where an individual's inspiration and a small change have promoted earth-shaking changes and progress in equipment. In order to achieve this, a lot of time has been invested. , energy and manpower, but they are often astronomical. In fact, they are the prelude to success after repeated accumulation. It is a prelude to success, without a foundation and repeated failures. Without going down the wrong path, it is impossible to confirm the correct pace. But with these two The picture is different!”

He recalled everything that happened in his previous two lives and couldn't help but sigh: "In my previous two lives, whether it was myself or others who advocated for it, I often had things that took a long time to work on and were ultimately unavailable, or failed many times before finally succeeding. , the cost will be less in several years.”

Looking at those two pictures, Chen Zhi's eyes seemed to be shining brightly.

"But these two 'powerful machine diagrams' can make a big difference. Once you have a concept, you can outline a prototype of the framework. You only need to paste this piece of paper, put it in the secret room, and wait three days for it to appear on the paper." Complete structural blueprint, and then follow the diagram to get a relatively mature design drawing, which can save years of hard work and accelerate technological development. However, if the initial concept is wrong, or there is a problem with the initial structure, then even if there is There is nothing we can do about the Mo family's organization."

He took a deep breath and shook his head.

"Therefore, when we first sketched out the structure, we also needed skilled craftsmen. When the complete structural blueprint came out, we still needed craftsmen to produce it and even further promote it. Therefore, craftsmen and craftsmen were indispensable. Previously, we had to recruit from home, but there were other arrangements, but The local craftsmen in Daijun cannot give up, but these people are also in the hands of the big family. There are many conflicts between me and this local family."
