three kings

Chapter 220
Jian'an three years (AD [-]) August [-]th.

The autumn wind is rustling, and the thousand hectares of rice fields are golden. Walking on the ridges of the fields has a special flavor.

Sun Can came to the outskirts of the city with a playful and relaxed mind. He was accompanied by Chen Qun, the Diannong official in charge of farming, and Dianwei, the guard.

Looking around, Sun Can looked at the smiles on the faces of the people who were harvesting the fruits of the harvest, and he was full of pride in his heart, and praised: "Jingzhou has a good harvest, and Changwen's contribution is indispensable!"

Chen Qun also had a hearty smile on his face. As a pianong official, he invaded everything about himself on this land.From the most basic land selection and planting to the most important canal diversion and irrigation, they were all completed step by step under his sleepless nights.

Especially in persuading these Jingzhou people who did not feel the benefits of "recruiting people to farm the land", he spent countless words and tongues to achieve the current scene.

Hearing Sun Can's praise, Chen Qun suddenly felt that his painstaking efforts were worthwhile, and that his hard work had received the best reward.

Although this is just a compliment, in Chen Qun's eyes, it is an affirmation of his talent and recognition of his hard work.

The unique humility of scribes made Chen Qun dare not take full credit, and said: "If it weren't for Mr. Wen Ruo's 'Recruitment and Farming Method' and Mr. Zijing's "keel waterwheel", today's harvest would be possible. "

"The method of recruiting people to farm the land" is the best grain production method in the world, which is even better than Cao Cao's military and civilian villages.Cao Cao's farmland pays attention to freedom. The people only need to cultivate the land and pay taxes.However, the "Recruitment Law" emphasizes efficiency, and it is a mandatory law.Use the system to restrain the common characteristic of human beings, laziness, and let them complete the tasks within their ability under half coercion.

Of course, this coercion is different from that of Shang Zhou, Yin Shou, and Qin Huang Yingzheng.This coercion is done within the ability, and will be rewarded accordingly. The more industrious the people, the more they will get than the less industrious people.With this system, the grain produced in Huainan this year is as high as 500 million hu.

What is the concept of 500 million hu?
For example, 3000 million dendrobium military rations are equal to the five-year cost of a 500 army, while [-] million dendrobium military rations can provide [-] troops with food and grass for two years.

Another advantage of the "recruitment method" is that people don't need to worry about not being able to sell their grain.Because, this field belongs to Sun Canjun, the land also belongs to Sun Canjun, and even the implements belong to Sun Canjun.Therefore, the grain produced also belongs to Sun Canjun.They just paid for their labor.After the harvest, Sun Canjun will share the food and labor money they got, and the rest of the food will be sent to the military treasury.

The "keel waterwheel" was originally called "turnover", "treadmill" and "waterwheel". After Liu Hua's improvement, it became a kind of machinery for drainage and irrigation.Its structure is based on the wooden counter as the groove, the tail is immersed in the water flow, and there is a small wheel axle.There is a small axle at the other end, which is fixed on the wooden frame on the embankment.When in use, step on the crutches to rotate the big wheel shaft, drive the blades in the groove to scrape water up, and pour water into the fields with higher terrain.

He also designed unused "keel waterwheels" according to different places.There are water-turning keel carts that use running water as power by the river, ox-pulled carts that use oxen to turn gears in highlands, and where the wind is strong, there are wind-turned carts that use wind to rotate.What's more, there are lighter "hand-operated waterwheels" that are operated by hand between the ditches in the field.

Even though the weather is dry, in Jingzhou, where there are many rivers, with these waterwheels, the water in the rice fields is still full.There will be no signs of dryness.

Sun Can laughed and said: "If you have meritorious service, you will be rewarded, and if you make mistakes, you will be punished. Only when rewards and punishments are clearly defined, can you be convinced. Changwen does not need to be humble. The credits of Yafu and Wenruo have already been recorded in the credit book, and they are indispensable. As for Changwen The credit only belongs to Changwen, how can it be distributed to others."

After walking for a while, an old man suddenly stepped forward, looked at Sun Can carefully and said, "You are Mr. Sun, right? That's right, it is Mr. Sun. I met you once when you entered the city."

Sun Can smiled politely: "It is Sun Can who is next to me. I wonder if the old man has anything to do?"

The old man knelt down suddenly, kowtowed and said: "I kowtowed to the lord."

Sun Can was taken aback. He was in a high position and he was the overlord of a party. Usually there were not a few people who kowtowed to him, but this was the first time he had kowtowed to him without knowing the reason. : "Old man, why do you care about this?"

The old man said with emotion: "I have a son who eats and is lazy on weekdays. My son-in-law is only willing to plant half an acre of the three acres of land at home. After the invitation of taxes and grains, the rest are only a family to live, and life is very poor. The old man I beat and scolded, but he just didn't listen, and he couldn't sell it if he planted it. He only wanted to grow some rations. He saw a girl a few years ago, but the girl's family thought our family was poor. I don't want to marry my daughter.

My rebellious son gave up on himself even more. He wanted to make a fortune and marry a wife, and was addicted to gambling all day long.After a month, the debt piles up.The creditor came to the door, and all the farm tools in the field were mortgaged.

After the girl's family found out, they cut off all contact between the girl and my son.My naughty son finally came to his senses at this time, but his reputation was so bad that no one would hire him to work.Later, I heard that the adults carried out the righteous act of recruiting people to farm the fields.My son took four acres of land.

After that, he changed his laziness and took care of the four acres of land conscientiously, leaving early and returning late.This year, the fields have had a bumper harvest and grain production has increased significantly.A few days ago, my son also won the first place in the total output of the four-acre field, and got a hundred big coins as a reward.Not only paid off the debt, but also got the permission of the girl's family, and the girl became the old daughter-in-law.

This year, my son plans to rent five acres of land from adults to earn money to build a new house.What the old man cares about is not money and a new house, but my son's conduct.Now he has lost any laziness and has become a hardworking young man.If it wasn't for the adults' policy, I'm afraid the old man wouldn't be able to see the transformation of the children. "

After hearing this, Sun Can smiled and said, "It's your son who finally came to his senses and changed his mind. It's not due to Sun Can, but this gambling is really harmful, and no matter how silent it is, it can't be eradicated." After saying this, Sun Can's face became extremely gloomy .

There are ten frauds in gambling, and nine out of ten bets lose.Sun Can ordered people to strictly prohibit gambling, but he didn't expect that there would still be people who were harmed by gambling, and illegal profiteers would set up gambling games.

The old man looked at the time and said: "My lord, every year during the autumn harvest, there will be a group of people celebrating the harvest in the fields. Why don't you join in the fun together, my lord."

"This..." Sun Can hesitated for a while, then smiled: "Okay! But the old man must not reveal his identity, so as not to spoil the atmosphere."

"Okay...ok...definitely...definitely..." The old man was so excited that he couldn't speak, and his face showed infinite glory.

"My lord... this is not appropriate!" Chen Qun was sweating anxiously, if anything happened to Sun Can at this time, then he would not be able to atone for his sin even if he died.

Sun Can smiled and said, "It's just for fun, don't make a fuss, with Zhongkang around, no one will hurt me."

Ignoring Chen Qun's request, he followed the old man to the distant fields.

The autumn harvest celebration of the old man is nothing more than a group of people gathering together to drink and chat, and then praying to heaven and earth to ask God to bless the coming year as a good harvest year.

Although monotonous, it is full of simplicity.They don't seek wealth or fame, they just hope that God can give them a good harvest year.

Sun Can was also moved by the simplicity of these people, and made up his mind that no matter what, he would satisfy the wishes of these people.

"My lord, I offer you a toast." The old man brought a bowl of wine to Sun Can.

Sun Can raised his hand to take it, drank it down, clasped his fists and said to the old man: "Don't worry, old man. I will definitely help you fulfill your wish. Everyone in the world says 'There are no hungry people in Can's territory', I don't know if there are any, But I will definitely let this sentence become a fact, and I will leave.”

"Father, who is that man?" A strong young man stood beside the old man.

The old man said respectfully: "A person who can bring happiness to the common people."

Sun Can walked towards Jingzhou together with Chen Qun and Xu Chu, entered the south gate, walked for a while, and saw Xun Yu rushing towards him.

Sun Can was suddenly chilled, and glared at Chen Qun angrily.

It turned out that Chen Qun saw that he couldn't persuade Sun Can, so he secretly sent the guards to report to Xun Yu.

When Xun Yu learned the whole story, his face turned pale with fright.He has also seen the people's show Qingqiu Harvest, where a group of people gather to drink and chat.There are so many mixed people there, if someone has evil intentions, what should be done.

He immediately put down everything in his hands, and ran south on foot. This wise man, who was comparable to Zhang Liang in the early Han Dynasty, was so flustered that he even forgot to ride his horse and stumbled for several miles.

Finally seeing Sun Can on Nancheng Street, Xun Yu heaved a sigh of relief seeing that he was fine, holding on to the house on the street with one hand, panting heavily, his feet were a little cramped.If it wasn't for the image problem, Xun Yu would definitely sit down and rub his legs vigorously.

Seeing Xun Yu's appearance, Sun Can immediately became anxious. This kind of situation is the most urgent in his historical records. He hurried forward and said, "Wen Ruo, how are you?"

Xun Yu gritted his teeth and said with a forced smile, "It's good that the lord is fine, I just have some pain in my feet, it's nothing to worry about!"

"I also said it's okay, look at you, your sore feet are all fighting. Alas, it's all my fault. Come on, I'll carry you to see the doctor." As he said, he ignored Xun Yu's right and carried him directly. , looking for medical clinics all over the street.

PS: The news of dengue fever has passed, and even the toilets in the school have been sprayed with mosquito repellent powder. It will be officially accelerated tomorrow.
