When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

In the afternoon, Xinqu and the others arrived at Juyongguan.

Shu Dagu found Xin Qu and told him about the charcoal he had detained today: "This matter is indeed urgent.

Because we found dead animals in the main water source on the mountain. According to the rules, we should not continue to use it. However, the nearby water source reserves are insufficient, so I can only use the method you explained - filtration and infiltration to get as much water as possible. Come to more water.

But you also know that the water filter I have here is not enough. "

Xin Qu frowned slightly. Although this was a valid reason, it was easy for people below him to follow his example if he bypassed the rules.

"Let's do this. I'll arrange for Tao Tu Ren to come over later and ask him to build a charcoal kiln for you. This winter, you can burn charcoal while guarding Juyongguan when you have nothing to do, and then burn [-]% of each batch.

Twenty percent was transported separately to Yanqing as interest for the loan at Juyongguan, and [-]% was transported to the market camp for trading, and the bamboo coins earned were used to improve food.

Let’s arrange the portion for one year first, and give you a warning, follow the rules and don’t mess around. "

Xin Qu's punishment was neither light nor heavy, but for Shu Dagu, it was acceptable.

Because he himself knows very well that there is a difference between being within the clan and outside the clan. Within the clan, you have to follow the rules, and messing around will be scorned by the whole clan.

Of course, more importantly, Xinqu finally allowed them to burn charcoal.

After handling this matter, Xin Qu took Xianyu Piggy to rest for a while before continuing to the market camp.

Arriving at the outskirts of the market camp, some land was being burned and some had started sprinkling water.

"Are you going to start planting again?" Xianyu Xiaozhu was quite surprised. He didn't expect that Xinqu and the others would never stop.

"Oh, no, I'm just growing some vegetables, such as cabbage, mustard greens, and soybeans."

Xinqu shook his head slightly. The wheat had almost been harvested, but the land here was also barren. It was better to catch up with one season while there was still time. It didn't matter how much the output was. What was important was to prepare enough vegetables and soybeans for the war horses. , human beings, all have a high role.

The most important thing is that you can grow vegetables while adding farmyard manure, and then plow it after harvesting before winter. In the next spring, just burn the remaining vegetable roots and straw into plant ash, and then mix the fermented manure. , to complete the maintenance of the land.

"Is that so? That's quite miserable."

"Fortunately, at least after this round of work, the Xin family will have enough food to feed 2 people for a year."

Xin Qu's casual words made Xian Yu Xiaozhu's eyes widen: "How...is it possible?!"

"Why is it impossible? In addition to coming here, doesn't Mr. Xin also need a pile of millet for extensive cultivation? Recently, he has been hunting sparrows. He caught hundreds of sparrows in a net and burned them. Saved on one meal.

When the millet matures, the land cultivated with millet will be burned immediately, and then winter planting will begin.

Then, on the land where vegetables are grown, we can plant soybeans or soybeans in the spring of next year, rotate the planting, and add human manure, so that the land can always maintain fertility. "

Xinqu paused when he said this: "I won't tell others. I'm giving you the secret of farming because you are one of my own family members. Don't tell anyone else."

Xianyu Xiaozhu looked at Xinqu suspiciously and secretly thought, I believe you.

If you cultivate the land like you do, will you deplete the fertility of the land?
However, it’s hard to say anything about Xianyu Piggy. At this stage, Xin really needs to keep farming to ensure the food gap.

The latest batch of children has been born!The food gap is not huge at this stage, but what about next year?
Therefore, Xinqu struggled for a long time and decided to do it every three years.

In the first year, a crop of soybeans or vegetables is planted after overwintering crops and harvesting.

In the second year, wheat, millet or soybeans are planted in the spring. The harvest is usually in the summer. After the harvest, some weed seeds from the fertilizer field are spread. In the fall, the ground is immediately plowed deeply, and then the farmyard manure is spread and mixed with the farmyard manure. They were moistened by winter snow together, and burned to ashes directly with flames in the third year.

Then, the crops will be planted in April of the third year and harvested in early September. The land will then be cultivated to produce a crop of overwintering wheat.

Then enter the next cycle, the effect is unknown, this is only the second year, we have to wait for next year's harvest to see the yield.

If there is an obvious decline, then the strategy must be changed and the fourth and fifth years will be introduced. The fourth year will be dedicated to planting grass for cattle and sheep to graze in spring and summer. After autumn, the grass will be cut and spread on the edges of the ridges. Then, before the winter snow, the land is plowed, the pests and diseases are dug out and frozen to death, and the pasture is piled back into the ground in the spring of next year to solve the problem with a fire.

In the fifth year, crops that came to the ground in the spring are replanted.

The two of them chatted together, and Xianyu Xiaozhu looked at the market camp that became more solemn again and said: "Uncle, you are really different every day, which makes people envious."

Just as Xinqu was about to speak, someone suddenly came running out: "Patriarch! Patriarch! Yu family! Something happened to Yu family!"

Yuhuai jumped down and said anxiously: "Mo Li, the great chief of the Guzhu clan, led 7000 Guzhu clan troops and attacked the old Shanrong stronghold. He also sent people to Changping City to demand that the Xin clan Provide them with food. Now the Yu clan is forced to the Huairou River."

"Stop! Don't be anxious! Speak slowly!" Xinqu held down Huai who was breathing heavily.

Afterwards, Yuhuai calmed down, Xinqu frowned as he listened, and Xian Yu Xiaozhu beside him also secretly thought something was wrong.

The Guzhu clan, or the Guzhu Kingdom, whose lord's surname was the Mo clan, had been guarding the northeast gate for Dayi merchants since the pre-Shang Dynasty, preventing Shanrong from the northeast and northwest of Yanshan from going south.

Theoretically, the Xin family's territory should also belong to Guzhu Kingdom.

However, after the collapse of Hedanjia, merchants were forced to return to Hebei, which led to many conflicts between the Mo family and their relatives in the south, especially in the area of ​​trade.

Originally, the Guzhu clan only needed to arrange for people to go south. Although there were territories belonging to other clans with surnames in the north, the clans were not strong and their ability to collect taxes was limited.

However, since Hedanjia collapsed in the Central Plains and the Shang royal family fled back, they could only give land in Hebei and at the same time relax their control over the princes of Hebei.

From then on, the Mo family of Zi had to bear a large amount of transit expenses, whether it was tribute or north-south trade, so gradually serious economic conflicts began to arise between the Shang princes.

With the surname Mo, the family began to develop wildly on their own, trying to find ways to strengthen themselves, and even went south to plunder the princely cities in Cangzhou.

The King of Shang also beat this relative, but as soon as your soldiers came over, the Mo clan took his soldiers and horses and fled to Liaoxi to graze, and you had nothing to do with him.

In the end, in desperation, King Shang began to strengthen the defense of the area south of Haihe River and gave up the entire Haihe River. It was not until the Xin family was moved from Shanxi to Changping that this pattern was broken.

But now, the Guzhu clan in the east came back from western Liaoning and wanted to go south in the name of it, which made Xin Qu look bad.

King Shang further ordered: All tributary countries in the north must provide supplies to the Mo family. The Mo family is going south this time to quell the rebellion!

In other words, the Red Dragon Tribe that Yang Jia, Pan Geng and others worked hard to win over are, in the final analysis, just a side force of the Guzhu clan.

The boss of the Guzhu clan, Mo Li, whose surname is Mo clan, has already led more than 7000 people from his headquarters south, and is preparing to give Yang Jia, Pan Geng, Xiao Yi, and Xiao Xin a shock to the four people from north to south! (End of chapter)
