Destiny Only Han

Chapter 365 Liu Ying: After three pushes, Liu Bang cured my internal friction

Liu Fei scratched his head blankly:
"I understand having more children and raising more pigs. My father dragged me to talk for a long time yesterday, saying that the world was in chaos at the end of the Qin Dynasty, and too many people died. Therefore, after I arrived in the feudal state, I needed to take care of the fiefdom, persuade farmers and mulberry, Rewarding births...but what is the purpose of raising more chickens and ducks? Selling eggs for money?"

He didn't mention raising pigs, because the composting method has been popularized everywhere. You can see high mounds piled up everywhere inside and outside the Lifang. There are manure, straw and other things that can be rotten as fertilizer.

"Of course!" Liu Ying remembered that there was a very apt name in later generations, the bank on the butt...

Seeing Liu Fei nodded, Liu Ying continued, "Do you still remember the pain of pulling weeds in the rice fields when you were in Zhongyangli?"

At that time, they planted the official land after Liu Bang became the head of the pavilion, but the main people who took care of the crops were Lu Zhi and Cao Shi, and Liu Fei and Liu Le who ran around all over the ground. Liu Ying was more of a cheerleader to hold back of……

After all, if you want to take care of the baby, you can't pull the weeds, and when you put down the baby, he cries so annoyingly...

Liu Fei cherished that hard but free life: "I remember, what's wrong?"

Liu Ying explained: "If our family had dozens of ducks at that time, after the rice grows taller, we only need to drive the ducks into the rice fields, and the ducks can trample to death or eat the weeds. The bugs will also be eaten together!"

Although Liu Fei was full of doubts, he still carefully remembered what Liu Ying said. After all, he has completely developed a habit over the years, that is, what Liu Ying said must be right!

Liu Ying nodded and continued: "There is another advantage of raising more ducks near swamps and lakes, that is, it can control the number of locusts and avoid locust plagues..."

The locust plague that swept through the most elite farming areas of the empire during the Han Wu period originated from the land of Qilu.

To help others is to help yourself.

Liu Fei pointed to the ducks stuffed into the cage by the workers in the distance, and said with a smile: "I heard from Uncle Lu that you want to raise ducks in the country of Yan in order to prevent locust plagues in the country of Yan, is that all that? "

"Yes." Liu Ying smiled back at him, then shook her head and said, "It's a pity that the road is too far away. I don't know how much I have to sacrifice for my duck and locust extermination group along the way?"

In this era of long-distance transport of live poultry, the mortality rate is certainly not small.

But there is no way, the Yan people are too poor, many people just barely make ends meet, and have no surplus food to raise poultry, so it is not feasible to buy duck eggs from the local area and incubate them on the spot.

Moreover, it will be difficult to quickly form a scale in this way, and it will be impossible to contain possible locust plagues before they happen.

Therefore, if there are stress deaths on the road, they can only provide additional meals to the transport team and sell them to the locals at a low price.

"Ducks and ducks to destroy the locust group? Repeated words, disgusting..." Liu Fei teased him and then said: "My father told me that I would be named king of Qi and lead 73 counties... Qi is vast and populated. If something happens The plague of locusts is not good, why don't you send your duck and duck locust extermination team to Qidi too!"

I'm just waiting for your words... With a reserved smile on Liu Ying's face, she stood on her tiptoes and put her arms around Liu Fei's shoulders: "Let's start farming in Qidi together! Raise more pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks." Goose and the like, when the time comes, I will help the elder brother contact the salesperson, and we will share the money from the sale, so that the elder brother can make a lot of money..."

Seeing that although Liu Fei was very moved, but still undecided, Liu Ying sighed softly, he also understands the pain of Ma Baonan!

He lowered his voice and said, "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely not tell Aunt Cao about this matter... all the money I earn will be my own money!"

"And I heard that Aunt Cao is trying to get married to my eldest brother...Brother, you don't want to lose your head in front of your future sister-in-law, do you..."

After hesitating for a while, Liu Fei finally made up his mind: "Okay, I'll do it... But brother, you must never tell my mother!"

Liu Ying made a movement of locking her mouth with a zipper: "Don't worry, my mouth is the strictest!"

Liu Fei looked at the rows of chicken pens and duck houses in the farm with joy, and imagined his comfortable life after getting rich, but in the next second, his face was a little more depressed, a little He asked hesitantly:

"Brother, your idea is very good, but elder brother has no money, I'm afraid..."

Liu Ying interrupted with a wave of her hand: "Between you and me, talking about money hurts feelings...Have you ever heard of using land as a shareholding?"

..........................................

In the first month of Mengchun, the vegetation sprouts.

According to the established rules since the Zhou Dynasty, on the first Xintian day of this month, the emperor will offer sacrifices to God and pray for a good harvest for the year.

God refers to the most honored person in the sky, not a specific deity. The so-called man is more respected than the emperor, and he is entrusted to the sky, so he is called God.

On the first day of the Hai, farming tools, such as Leisi, should be put on a special carriage, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty should be led to the suburbs to cultivate.

The major events of the country are sacrificed to Rong.

Although Liu Bang was full of reluctance, he finally changed into Ge Yi when Liu Ying was crying, making trouble, and hanging himself for the ceremony, and after being severely taught by Mrs. Liu with a crutch Straw sandals, I got into the big car with a feather cover and a three-layer canopy, and went to the suburbs of Yueyang.

Behind Liu Bang's extremely ostentatious cart was a carriage with a vermilion green cover and a painting of 罓文辀. In the carriage sat a happy-looking Liu Ying and a somewhat nervous Liu Fei.

After all, although Liu Fei is Liu Bang's eldest son, he doesn't attend such large-scale occasions much, so stage fright is naturally inevitable.

On the carriage, Liu Ying said calmly: "Brother, don't worry, you can do whatever I do, at most an hour, and then everyone can go back to the palace to eat and drink!"

Liu Fatty was sitting on the carriage, clutching his cuffs with both hands. Although he was still a little nervous, he forced a smile and asked, "Why are you talking about eating and drinking again?"

Liu Ying was a little surprised: "Eh? Brother, don't you know? After the ceremony of starting farming, there will be a grand banquet called Laojiu."

Liu Fei nodded: "Brother, you know a lot!"

Liu Ying curled her lips: "It's just that the eldest brother didn't listen carefully in class..."

........................

The southern suburb of Liyang, near the Weishui River.

Here is the place where Shusuntong chose to hold the ceremony of starting farming.

When Liu Bang's chariot arrived, dancers holding relatives and feather fans began to dance, and the voice of Huang Zhong Da Lu also sounded.

"At the beginning of the birth of the people, Jiang Yuan was at the time. How about the people? Restraining the ancestors and sacrificing, Yifu has no children. Acting as the emperor Wu Minxin, You Jie You Zhi, Zai Zhen Zai Su. Zai Birth and breeding, Shi Wei Hou Ji... "

In a poem describing the legend of Houji's birth and his agricultural production and harvest of five grains, the start of the plowing ceremony, which Liu Bang hated deeply, officially began.

Fortunately, due to the loss of the laws and regulations of the Qin State, many red tapes were omitted, and the whole ceremony soon entered the last link.

Pro farming.

It's really all a political show.

Under the arrangement of Shusun Tong, Liu Bang stood beside the circled farmland holding Leisi wrapped with silk in his hand.

On his left are Liu Ying, Liu Fei, Liu Ruyi, and the toddler Liu Heng, and on his right are Li Shang, Xiao He, and Zhou Ke, the ministers of the three gongs and nine ministers. Those who do not have such an official position are lined up farther away.

Liu Ying turned her head to look at Liu Heng who was about to cry because of the heavy weight, smiled and asked someone to replace him with a miniature Leisi.

The so-called Leisi is the predecessor of the plow. Although Lei and Lei refer to different tools, they are actually similar in shape and no one has used them for a long time.

After all, as early as the Warring States period, people had already mastered the method of making iron plows. For example, the Yanxiadu site in Yixian County, Hebei Province and Huixian County, Henan Province have unearthed iron plowshares from this period.

Liu Bang looked at the scene where the brother and friend were not respectful because they were young, and raised the Leisi in his hand with a face full of relief, inserted it into the soil hard, and turned the ground.

Immediately afterwards, it was the second, and the third.

Then, call it a day.

According to Zhou etiquette, the emperor pushes three times, the Sangong pushes five times, and the Qing and princes push nine times.

Beside Liu Bang, Liu Ying pawed three times and stopped still.

As a prince, he has the same rules as Liu Bang on this matter, and beside Liu Ying, Liu Fei and Liu Ruyi also act in the same way.

Although Liu Fei reserved a throne, he did not announce it to the world after all, so he still enjoys the treatment of a prince.

After digging a few big holes on the ground, a group of courtesy officials came and took away the farm tools from Liu Ying and the others, making Liu Fatty, who had been nervous for a whole night and a half, full of bewilderment.

Formalism kills people... Liu Ying raised her hand and patted Liu Fei on the shoulder, walked silently to Liu Bang's side who was standing on the bank of the Wei River, and did the same thing with him.

The left hand reached down to lift up the hem of the clothes, and the right hand went through many obstacles to accurately locate, and then the traction was successful, and began to work hard to raise the water level of the Wei River.

After arousing ripples on the Tangtang Weishui, he and Liu Bang took a small step forward and made a big step forward in civilization, without polluting the flat dam.

"Why learn from me?"

"Little bastard, don't run away, wait for Naiko to fasten his pants..."

Under the shining warm sun, under Liu Taigong's inadvertent gaze, Liu Ying successfully escaped from danger, and looked at the broken walls and ruins on the south bank and sighed leisurely.

Liu Bang also sighed: "It's so beautiful, but it's a pity that it will never be there again..."

What they were talking about was, of course, the city of Xianyang, the capital of Qin, which had been burned down.

It’s just that Liu Bang’s lament is that the people of Chu were torched, and Liu Ying’s lament is that without a financial system, the initial investment required for real estate projects is too large...

With his unremitting efforts, the former Xianyang Palace, except for those palaces, has already fallen into his private pocket.

What is renting a building?I have a city, am I proud...Liu Ying put her hands on her hips, raised her chest and raised her head like a golden rooster at dawn.
