In the spring of March, everything revives and is full of vitality.

The sky is blue and high, the sun is bright and warm. The spring breeze blows gently on the face, bringing a bit of fresh breath, as if it can blow away the troubles and fatigue in people's hearts.

At the same time, this is also the season of spring plowing. The term "spring plowing" was first seen in Liezi. Later, a further summary of the laws of nature was added in "Xunzi Wangzhi Chapter", including: "spring plowing, summer plowing, autumn harvest, and winter storage. If you don’t miss the right time, the grain will never stop.”

"Plowing" is the beginning of a year's plan. After cultivating the land, the land will be raked, sown, hoeed, manure, and irrigated. After completing these, it is time to harvest.

After the beginning of spring, "ploughing and testing the plow" is one of the spring plowing customs passed down to this day in some areas. In the Shandong area, people will worship the plow first and sing a happy song: "The plow breaks the new spring soil, the cattle trample the acres to harvest, one grain of millet is planted in the spring, and ten thousand seeds are harvested in the autumn."

The Han Dynasty attached great importance to spring plowing. In the history books of the Han Dynasty, the deeds of each emperor going to farm were recorded very accurately. At that time, under Jia Yi's persuasion, Emperor Wenwen of the Han Dynasty carried out "personal farming" outside the city, which attracted people's onlookers and the scene was quite grand. Since then, spring plowing has been handed down in the form of legal provisions for future generations to use.

Auspicious snow heralds a good year, and a heavy snowfall after the new year indicates that the start of spring this year will be smooth. Farmers are getting busy with the arrival of spring, and the fields are filled with the fragrance of earth and the breath of hope.

In this season, farmers pick up hoes and plows one after another and start hard work. They worked hard and worked hard to wake up the sleeping land. As the farming progresses, a busy and orderly picture gradually emerges in the fields.

After several years of experimentation and promotion, the people under Liu Han are now accustomed to intensive farming, that is, constantly selecting the best seeds, fertilizing the land to make it more fertile, planting rationally and densely, and ensuring sufficient water sources and pest control during the growth of crops. Weeding to maximize yield per unit area.

In addition to farming and planting, the spring plowing season is also a good time for farmers to build and maintain water conservancy facilities. They clean ditches and build dams to ensure smooth irrigation and drainage of farmland. The construction and maintenance of these water conservancy facilities provide a strong guarantee for the growth of crops.

After long-term efforts and the superposition of various methods, the current yield per mu is 500% higher than ten years ago. Even so, the yield per mu is only just over 1000 kilograms. But Liu Han believes that as long as we continue to work hard from generation to generation, there will always be success. A day when I break through 2000 pounds or even pounds.

In this season full of vitality, Liu Han’s fourth child (third daughter and first legitimate daughter) was born, named Xuan, which comes from the Book of Songs: “How can I get the weeping grass from the back of the tree? "Hemerocallis" in modern times is said to be a magical grass that can forget sorrow. Liu Han and Cai Yan hope that the child can live a carefree life.

Liu Han's family also came to the farm outside Jinyang City. Large yards were scattered across the plains, forming small villages.

Because of him, this place is far away from the chaos of war and is full of the atmosphere of life, with roosters crowing, dogs barking, and smoke curling up from cooking stoves, which is very pleasant.

"Haha, I didn't expect this kid to be so advantageous." Liu Han said happily as he looked at Liu Ye, who was plowing the fields with his cattle in the distance, and then at the absent-minded Cai Jue here.

Because he annexed the southern Xiongnu and occupied part of the northern grasslands and Wuhuan settlements, Liu Han bred a lot of cattle under his rule. Although it was not possible to have one per household, there were still ten cattle per mile (in the Han Dynasty, the maximum number of cattle in the township was At the grassroots level, there are ten households and five households, each with their own responsibilities. One hundred households constitute one li, and one hundred households constitute one li.

At this time, Liu Ye also realized what it means to be "steamy and rustic, and back to the burning sky."

"Husband, it's time to eat."

Liu Han rarely spends time with his family, so this time everyone in the family came out, except the Queen Mother, who liked to be quiet and did not come to join in the fun.

Strange to say, the Queen Mother seems to have changed since she arrived in Jinyang. She doesn't care about worldly affairs. Unless necessary, she just raises flowers and fish in the palace.

"Thank you for your hard work Yan'er."

"Husband, I don't dare to take credit today. It's all done by my sisters. I'm only responsible for taking the lead."

Cai Yan had just given birth and was weak, so Zhang Ning and others were not allowed to let her cook.

"Let that bastard come over for dinner!"

"Okay, Ye'er, Junyi, stop working now! Come over for dinner!"

Rather than dividing tables at banquets, Liu Han prefers the whole family to eat together around the table, which makes it more family-friendly.

"Your Majesty..."

"Zhenji, there is no king today."

"Okay, brother-in-law..."

"what's up?"

Cai Jue has been taken by Cai Yan since she was a child, and she has always called Liu Han brother-in-law. When she suddenly changed her title, Liu Han felt that something must be wrong with her. "Brother-in-law... Ziyang him..."

"That kid deserves it! He should be treated like a cow or a horse!"

"Brother-in-law!"

Cai Jue was anxious.

"Hahahaha!"

Zhang He and Liu Ye came back and washed their hands first, and everyone sat down.

"Ying'er, are you about to give birth?"

Liu Ying's eyes were full of motherly glory: "Yes."

"Junyi, you will stay at home these few months. Don't go out. Just stay with Ying'er."

"Lord...I..."

"Uncle Huang, it doesn't matter. Yinger and Grandma Huang and Aunt Huang are here. It's important."

Before Zhang He could speak, Liu Ying spoke first, expressing her hope that Zhang He would go to the front line to kill the enemy, where there were enemies who killed his father.

"Ying'er, there are so many people on the front line, it's okay if Junyi doesn't go. You need him more at this time, so be obedient."

"Oh."

"You kid, don't even think about running away. Go to Qingzhou and stay here."

Liu Ye, who was eating silently, looked at Liu Han aggrievedly. Ever since he proposed marriage to the Cai Mansion, his brother had disliked him. He then looked at Zhang He next to him, who nodded sympathetically to him.

Zhang He was a man who had come before him. When he proposed to marry Liu Ying, he was often made things difficult by his master, but luckily he survived.

"Brother-in-law..."

"Shut up."

Cai Jue wanted to plead for mercy, but was stopped by Cai Yan. Cai Jue was not afraid of anything but her sister's sullen face.

"Okay, how about we ask him if he is willing?"

Liu Han looked at Liu Ye, with a clear threat in his eyes, which meant that if you dare to say otherwise, your marriage will be ruined.

"Of course my brother is willing."

Liu Ye's wife didn't marry her back home, so she had to endure it.

"Look, Zhenji, I have agreed. What are you worried about?"

"..."

"A scholar cannot be without great perseverance. A true warrior cannot be without perseverance. He has to plow the farthest field, and after eating, he has to plow the rest of the land before he can rest. Do you understand?"

"That...that's..."

Ten acres of land!
Liu Ye wanted to cry but had no tears. Although he also practiced martial arts, he was not as big as Dian Wei. He could plow ten acres of land in one day, so he shouldn't sleep at night. (End of chapter)
