Chapter 290 The Craftsman
Jiaping three years in April.

The whole Yongliang was calm.

Guo Huai was farming, Deng Ai was farming, Hu Fen was farming, Yang Zheng was farming, and even the Shu army was farming.

The plan for a year lies in spring.

In troubled times, food is the most important thing.

But Xiping is special, in addition to farming, there is also grazing.

With the supplement of meat, the consumption of food will be greatly reduced.

The remaining beef and mutton from last year were marinated, then dried and stored as grain reserves.

Lu Zhi was assigned to farm the fields, and Du Yu went to Xihai to supervise the ranching in person.

When he was about to leave, Du Yu said: If the planning is proper, about [-] livestock can be produced this year.

This budget made Yang Zheng very happy.

The number of livestock in Tuyuhun in later generations was around one million.

The grassland controlled by Yang Zheng was almost equal to that of Tuyuhun.

[-] head per year, for the vast area of ​​Panxihai Lake, the pressure is not great.

In the past, Zilu and Qiucihu did not reach this number because the management level was too low, there were constant discords among various ministries, no scale was formed, and there were many trivial things.

There is ample supply of meat, and a winter of training, the physical fitness of the soldiers has also improved a lot.

Many people in the personal guard camp are quite strong.

The children in the youth camp also became stronger physically.

Of course, food is also essential.

Yang Zheng inspected the farms as usual, and went to the fields to show his importance to farming.

In the past few years, the stability and farming technology have also improved.

According to Yang Zheng's memory of later generations of iron plows, Wang Mufu, the agricultural instructor of Qingying, improved the straight iron plow and made a curved plow.

Most of the plows in the Han Dynasty were long straight shaft plows. When plowing the land, it was very troublesome to pass them back, and the soil was laborious and extremely inflexible.

The curved shaft plow is more in line with the principle of mechanics. The plow shaft is in a beautiful arc, and the plow share is diamond-shaped. The design is exquisite, and the plow comment, plow arrow, and plow construction are added.

Pushing the plow can make the arrow of the plow go down, and the plowshare will go deep into the soil.

It can not only crush the soil, but also turn the mound of soil.

Suitable for all kinds of land, it is convenient for intensive cultivation and the efficiency is greatly improved.

Taking this as an opportunity, Yang Zheng used the Twelve Turns of Military Merit as a template to launch the Craftsman's Twelve Turns of Merit.

Craftsman, craftsman, craftsman, skilled craftsman, capable craftsman, craftsman, young craftsman, craftsman, great craftsman, young craftsman, craftsman, great craftsman, also corresponding to the first to twelve ranks of merit, from the seventh rank To the second product.

All walks of life, whoever excels, can receive this feat.

including medicine.

Each turn has a corresponding reward of land, mansion, money and silk.

Before the imperial examination system, a hundred flowers bloomed among the people.

From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Luban, Mozi, Ou Yezi, etc., all walks of life can be called a hundred flowers blooming.

Even in this era, many scholars are not rote books.

Liu An, the king of Huainan in the Han Dynasty, invented tofu while being a prince.

Hua Tuo was originally a scholar, and he saw his career as a doctor. He often regretted that he did not embark on an official career.

Zhuge Wuhou, a general and a prime minister, is good at carpentry, improved various weapons, and made eight formations.

Ji Kang likes to forge iron, is good at rhythm, and Danqing calligraphy is also the best.

Du Yu led the army to fight and came back to study. By the way, he and Yang Zheng figured out the method of pouring steel, and his achievements in history are far more than this.

Even Meng Guan would look up at the starry sky and calculate astronomy when he had nothing to do.

Yang Zheng felt that the greatness of an era was not only due to a few peerless emperors and generals, but also great craftsmen and scholars.

If this system is implemented in the hinterland of the Central Plains, there will definitely be big problems.

But here is Xiping.

A place where scholars look down on and don't want to go to, a place full of Qiang, Hu and Yi people.

The resistance is relatively small.

As long as the army has no opinion, there will be no waves.

Fortunately, Xiping has not yet formed an old group of military meritorious service.

With Yang Zheng's current prestige and control over the soldiers, there is no opposition in the army.

Under the guidance of Xuan Yisi, the soldiers worshiped Yang Zheng almost blindly.

Wang Mufu was rewarded with three rounds of meritorious service, from a sixth-rank craftsman, the news spread all over Xiping, and immediately aroused thousands of waves.

The people naturally cheered, because there was another upward path.

Wang Mufu didn't know a single word, and he played with wood all his life. Unexpectedly, when he was old, he got a third-rank craftsman. He was rewarded with a small house in Xidu, [-] acres of land, and [-] pieces of fine Shu brocade!

Envious of many people.

But any reform, reform, resistance will certainly not be less.

The promotion of craftsmen's status directly affected scholars.

Led by a small number of scholars such as Du Kuan and Zhang Yu, a large group of so-called scholars were gathered to block up trouble in front of the government office.

In order to increase the right to speak, Lu Zhi was persuaded somehow.

Lu Zhi, who supervised the farming in Hequ, sent a letter asking what was the purpose of this move?
He also advised Yang Zheng that artisanship is art, and sage books are the way.

In this matter, Lu Zhi still did not go beyond the barriers of traditional scholars.

The only person who can do this is Yang Zheng, a time traveler.

So no matter what obstacles you encounter, you will definitely push forward.

If Lu Zhi always had this attitude, one can imagine how great the resistance would be if this strategy were implemented in the Central Plains.

Yang Zheng personally drove the horses to Dayun Valley and explained to Lu Zhi, "Farming is the foundation of the country, craftsmen are the bones of the country, down to the common people, up to the rivers and mountains, driving on land, boats in the water, houses and palaces, Armor and weaponry, which one can be separated from craftsman? Han Chen Tang said, there are five Hu soldiers and one Han soldier, what?

Technology is not only productivity, but also the most direct combat power.

As a later generation, it is impossible for Yang Zheng not to know the importance of science and technology to a nation and a country.

Regardless of what Yang Zheng will do in the future, whether he succeeds or fails, since he has come to this time and space, he has to plant a seed for Huaxia, and it is not in vain for him to come to this world.

Lu Zhi pondered for a long time before saying: "Xingyun is very human, he can do what ordinary people can't, know what ordinary people don't know, he is old and dull, afraid..."

"Uncle, why did you say that?" Yang Zheng interrupted Lu Zhi, fearing that he would ask him to resign, "If you don't hear it, you don't hear it; if you hear it, you don't see it; if you see it, you don't know it; if you know it, you don't do it No. Craftsmen are only seeking to learn and manage skills, not to hinder the teachings of saints, nor to violate the way of saints, anyone who is planning for the future of China can use them, uncle, why don't you wait and see the effect?"

This statement is Xunzi's statement explained by Lu Zhi some time ago.

Translate with a sentence from a great man of later generations: true knowledge comes from practice.

Lu Zhi was startled, his eyes changed from cloudy to clear, from clear to admiring, and he solemnly bowed his hands, "Zhen has been taught."

Yang Zheng blushed for a while, and returned the salute.

To be able to say these words is like a miracle.

Usually it is difficult to choose a name, but now in desperation, he can tell a lot of truths.

With Lu Zhi's understanding and support, several other scholars were also out of luck.

Du Kuan and Zhang Chen had limited influence.

Besides, there were not many scholars in Xiping.

Yang Zheng kept an eye on the youth camp, as long as the children of the youth camp did not participate in it, the matter could only end here.

After a few days of commotion in front of the government office, the common people trusted Yang Zheng almost unconditionally. They generally pointed and pointed at the jokes, and they felt bored, so they dispersed.
