The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 13 Hunting Captain

The time has entered April of the 20th year of Yanxi in the Shu Han Dynasty.Guan Yi, Guan Zifeng, the new prefect of Fuling County, issued a series of orders.

The first order: the order to eliminate evil water.

The ancients did not know why long-term direct drinking of Wujiang water would cause abdominal pain. As a traveler, Guan Yi was clear: because the mountains in the Wujiang basin are mainly limestone that is slightly soluble in water, there is too much calcium carbonate in the Wujiang water.If you drink it directly for a long time, the human body will of course produce various stones.The pain of gallstones and kidney stones is not much worse than the pain of women giving birth, or even worse.

In modern society, waterworks use various methods to precipitate these minerals.Of course, Guan Yi couldn't do it in this era.However, after simply boiling the water, most of the calcium carbonate in the water will adhere to the inner wall of the container, which also achieves the purpose of reducing the mineral content.Therefore, the main content of Guan Yi's order to eliminate evil water is: everyone should drink boiled water, not unboiled water.Drinking boiled water will not only prevent abdominal pain caused by various stones, but also reduce the spread of various infectious diseases.

The bureaucratic system of the Shu Han was established by Zhuge Liang.Overall, relatively clean and efficient.Although the bureaucratic system began to slowly degenerate due to Chen Yu's inaction and Huang Hao's chaos over the years, at least for now, the people of Shu Han are still willing to trust and obey the government.Just a few days after taking office, the new prefect proposed a solution to the bad water. Although the common people didn't particularly believe it, they still implemented it honestly.

The second order: Gather fern root order

The ultimate weapon to solve the food problem in Fuling County is of course the super potato that traveled with Guan Yi.But the growth of crops has a cycle.Even though Guan Yi built a small greenhouse regardless of the cost, the potatoes can keep growing.But now, after all, the time is too short. After he arrived in Fuling County, under the four potato seedlings that cost a lot of money, he only harvested a total of 35 potatoes.So he divided the 35 potatoes into 140 pieces and planted them again.

But that's all for the first half of this year.The environmental requirements for potatoes to grow underground are: the underground soil temperature should not exceed 25 degrees.So in the first half of this year, at most one season can be harvested.There are more than 1000 potatoes in the sky.It is still not possible to grow it on a large scale.And the food problem in Fuling County needs to be solved urgently.How to do it?

Thanks to "A Bite of China", Guan Yi learned that fern root juice is also rich in starch.is edible.And what about Fuling County?Due to the thin soil layer and poor water storage capacity, there are very few tall trees.But things like fern roots really don't need too much.

In the fern root collection order, Guan Yi described in detail how to distinguish bracken, how to search for its root veins, how to obtain starch from its root veins, and how to convert starch into edible fern cakes.

Bracken, as a wild vegetable.In Fuling County, where the food self-sufficiency rate is seriously insufficient, wild vegetables have always been one of the staple foods for local residents to eat.But people in this era don't know that compared with fern roots, bracken is not worth mentioning at all.It can be said that as soon as the order to collect fern roots came out, the prestige of the new prefect was immediately erected.The associated previous order has also been better executed.

The third order: rectify the county military orders.

The output of Fuling County is very small, and the roads are impassable. Although it borders Soochow, it is impossible to pass the Dabingtuan.Therefore, although the rebellions of the natives and the Han people here one after another, the Shu Han government is not willing to station a large force here-the gain outweighs the loss.The rebels here were really making a scene too violently, so they mobilized the Wing'an Legion in Padang County nearby to suppress it.Therefore, there are only 150 permanent soldiers in Fuling County.

This time, the elder brothers came out to do things, and the heads of the CDs paid great attention to it and gave them great support.So the sons and brothers brought a lot of things from the generals and servants.Guan Yi gathered the generals of each family and handed them over to Liao Yong for training and formation.Finally, after weeding out the old, weak and adulterers.Got 500 capable soldiers.

The taxation of the Shu Han was inherited from the Eastern Han Dynasty, and one-fifteenth of the grain produced was collected as land tax every year.In recent years, military expenditures have been increasing, so an additional ten cash per mu is charged.In addition, there are household tax, calculation tax, oral tax and so on.To be honest, the search for common people is quite cruel.Basically, two-thirds of the annual income of ordinary people will be scraped away.

But even so, in Fuling County, a small and remote county with only a little over 13 mu of registered land and a registered population of just over 1.The money and food that can be searched are also very limited.Moreover, most of the money and food collected from the search will be directly transferred to Padang County by water to support the [-] standing soldiers of the Yong'an Army.Those who really stayed in Fuling County only had [-] shi of grain a year, or about [-] renminbi.

Moreover, this is still a theoretical value!
In fact, this theoretical value has never been realized due to the looting of local indigenous people, the harm of various wild animals, and various natural and man-made disasters.

With this amount of money and food, it is already very difficult to maintain the 500 or so civil servants (including county soldiers) in Fuling County. Now the prefect Guan directly expands the number of county soldiers to [-]. bankruptcy!

Therefore, Guan Yi could only brazenly explain to his friends that the prefect's mansion was only responsible for the salaries of 150 county soldiers.Each family has to pay for the extra 350 salaries—this eunuch takes the lead, follow up, everyone’s salaries should be confiscated.As for the other family generals, maids, attendants and so on brought by the young masters, I’m sorry, please be responsible for yourself-in a word, everyone who came to this poor place to be an official must either have lived in that kind of hard and simple life, or Just put money in it yourself!

It can be said that what he brought with him was a group of not bad money, still very young, passionate, and easy to fool.If it's a group of middle-aged uncles, just relying on this one, his subordinates will collectively rebel!

Of course, Guan Yi also knew very well that the days of subtraction should not last too long.If a place wants to develop, subtraction such as throttling is just a means, and its purpose is to concentrate limited power and do addition—open source!
So there was the fourth order: the order of hunting wild beasts.

The newly established five hundred county soldiers are divided into three teams.Each team ranges from 160 to 180 people.Guan Yi, Zhang Zun, and Zhao Yi led the team respectively.For a ten-day period, each period sends a team into the deep mountains to hunt.The remaining two teams rested and received training from Liao Yong.

This is an official organized and long-term hunting behavior.

As an agricultural student, Guan Yi actually pays great attention to ecological protection.But in such an environment where beasts are more powerful than humans, the meaning of ecological protection becomes to eliminate beasts and protect humans.It is different from the previous dynasties who advocated not to hunt in spring, so as not to kill the old ones and starve to death the young ones.Guan Yi wants to go hunting in spring: this is the time when the beasts are at their weakest when they have been hungry for a whole winter.Moreover, their cubs have just been born, and if they beat the old ones, the young ones will naturally starve to death.It can be said that it happens to use the least effort to get the biggest harvest.Moreover, although Guan Yi's major before time travel was seed cultivation.But as a student at the Agricultural College, he also knows some basics about animal husbandry—wild boar cubs are quite the trick!
Of course, Guan Yi's subordinates were not too impressed with Guan Yi's order, especially Chen Shou, Li Mi, Ma Guo and others thought that it was enough for Zhang Zun and Zhao Yi to lead a team to hunt, and the majestic prefect would also go into battle in person. It was too much for Meng Lang, but Guan Yi not only refused to listen, but happily added a new title to herself: Captain of the Fuling County Hunting Brigade.

"Everyone, the previous orders of the prefect's mansion have been promulgated. How is the specific implementation? I will trouble you to supervise the people. I don't have the patience to deal with these general affairs. Besides, I don't just go hunting. I am Fuling County Whether we can make a fortune in the future depends on these beasts in the mountains."

Then, Guan Taishou led his team into the mountain without listening to others' persuasion.Of course, before entering the mountain, I was finally reminded by Chen Shou, and wrote letters to the court, Zhuge Zhan, Jiang Wei, Qiao Zhou, Liao Hua and others explaining his situation after he took office and the reason for issuing new orders. purpose etc.The official document for promoting Ma Guo to work for the prefect's mansion was also sent out.

In addition, he also wrote a lot of home letters and sent them home.Among the piles of letters from home, one was addressed to Liu Ling.
