The Three Kingdoms: A vicious plan was offered, and Liu Bei was stunned!

Chapter 317: Advanced farming techniques in the Han Dynasty, simple and crude Luo Yuan established his authority and governed
"You and I are brothers, and I still ask you to buy it, but you won't give it to me?" Xiahou Dun said angrily.

That’s too stingy.

These things are clear at a glance. I can't find a craftsman to make them myself.

Telling you I'll buy it is just being polite!

"This has nothing to do with brothers. This is Jiang Ling's invention. You think the curved plow is simple, but you need to put seven or eight plowshares on one frame. Do you think you can build it just by looking at it? It involves very complex mechanical mechanics. Okay, do you understand mechanical mechanics?"

I don’t understand a thing!
Xiahou Dun was completely speechless, he had never heard of it before.

Luo Yuan laughed and said, "The plowshare has a curvature. How long does it take you to create this curvature? Do you think this curvature is something you just randomly create?"

At this time, half of the plowshares were straight.

In order to make these plowshares, Luo Yuan used all kinds of means and only managed to produce a little steel, which he used to make farm tools.

Luo Yuan spent more than 500 gold coins on these farm tools alone, and they were only made with his guidance.

It’s not that Cao Cao can’t be created, it just will definitely take longer.

It is okay to sell weapons to Cao Cao, but he will never sell these farm tools. To Luo Yuan, weapons are nothing, but farm tools are strategic resources.

"It's not easy for Jiangling to make these things. How can I sell them just because we are brothers? If so, Xu Shu and Pang Tong will be mad to death. But since we are brothers, I can give you the blueprints!"

Whether he can build it or not is up to Xiahou Dun himself.

Xiahou Dun thought about it and decided to come with Luo Yuan to inspect today. He looked at the rice jar and the firewood of this family. They all walked in without saying hello. They didn't even allow the common people to speak!
Luo Yuan would be happy if he saw that there was rice in the rice jar and there was enough firewood. If there was not much rice or firewood, he would question it.

If you have no food to eat but don’t go to make money, are you looking for death?
The new year has passed, and even though the world is still cold, can it freeze you to death? Go and find a way to make a living!
Those who were lazy and gluttonous were captured by soldiers and forced to work to repair the escalators.

It's impossible to reason with it.

An old man had rice and firewood at home, and his daughter-in-law was serving him. When he saw Luo Yuan coming, he took the initiative to open the rice jar and let Luo Yuan see it.

He made a lot of money last year and his family is wealthy!

"I still have a hundred copper coins, my lord, please take a look!"

"have a look!"

The old man immediately asked his daughter-in-law to bring a box. Inside was golden copper coins without any trace of rust. It was obvious that this old man must have counted them frequently.

"A lot. We can do some small business this year. The Military Command does not collect taxes on small businesses. Do you have any plans?"

"No, I plan to get a set of weapons and armor, and then go back to join the army. When will you fight, my lord?"

"If you don't want to fight, you should do business. How about raising pigs? The Military Command needs a lot of meat. You can raise pigs and the Military Command will buy them!"

"Let's fight a war!"

"It's settled. Someone come and register him, and then we'll help him build a pig pen and raise a few hundred pigs. You can tell at a glance that he's an honest man who can make money!"

"My lord, my lord, I want to be a soldier!"

"Next one!"

What's the point of joining the army? Don't you see how old you are? You look like you're about to die with your beard. Why don't you raise pigs?

Don’t you know that the army needs meat? If you don’t raise pigs and he doesn’t raise pigs, can I, your lord, still eat braised pork?

Raising pigs requires feed, which Luo Yuan had in no shortage of. The seeds of golden flower vegetable had been brought back from the Western Regions by Zhang Qian, Marquis of Bowang, and Luo Yuan had someone cultivate them.

The yield of golden flower vegetables is very high. You don't need to manage them after planting them once. You can harvest them for decades. It's not a problem to pass them on for generations, but it wastes land! But this is the Eastern Han Dynasty, there is plenty of land, so there is no problem of waste.

After the old man's family is registered, the military headquarters will send someone to teach him how to grow golden flower vegetables. It can be eaten by cattle and horses, as well as humans. It also tastes good when made into pickled mustard greens.

Families with elderly people live a wealthy life, those without elderly people live an average life, and the life of bachelors is as outrageous as it is today!

Every meal counts.

Generally speaking, the people of Jiangling can still eat enough, and there is enough food in the market. Food is very cheap now, and you can buy one pound for two copper coins.

Luo Yuan stipulated that anyone who dared to raise the price of grain would be beheaded, and those who could not sell the grain could be sold to the General Military Office in exchange for porcelain, white paper and finished medicines.

But if you dare to cheat the people out of their copper coins, you will die, no matter what the punishment is.

Xiahou Dun followed Luo Yuan and found it interesting. He saw Luo Yuan and the other woman's wife asking about their plans for the year, what they were going to plant, whether they were going to buy cloth, and when they were going to have a child.
Luo Yuan even asked how many times the husband and his young wife had sex in seven days.

No matter the details!

The young wife's face was as red as if blood.

'

How can I say these things when a group of people are staring at me?

The village elders who followed Luo Yuan all held a notebook issued by the Military Commandery, and they were very serious reporters. What Luo Yuan asked today were what they needed to pay attention to on a daily basis.

As a village elder in charge of the village, you have to care about the couples having children.

We had lunch in the village. Luo Yuan paid for it and brought his own food, but the firewood was someone else's!
The village elder said that some firewood was free, and was scolded by Luo Yuan.

"Firewood is worthless, but this is not about firewood. If I want to use the people's firewood for free, will you, the people under the General Office, follow my example? If you don't pay for firewood today, you can take away people's land tomorrow. Under my rule, things should be what they are. If you use other people's things, you must pay, unless they say they don't want it, which is because they are polite. But the principle cannot be changed. The General Office will never forgive corruption and bullying. You should also know that the laws of Jiangling are harsh. If you obey the laws, you will have a good life. If you are unwilling to obey the law, you will be punished."

The group of people suddenly felt inexplicably terrified.

Xiahou Dun didn't think Luo Yuan was fooling around. As the lord, he came down to inspect in person to establish his authority, and he naturally had authority because he was fair and honest.

The common people immediately looked at Luo Yuan differently, and some old men secretly took out the rice wine they brewed to treat Luo Yuan.

"Why do you have to do it secretly? Jiangling doesn't ban brewing."

"But the Han officials and the laws of Jingzhou did not allow the people to brew wine..."

"Oh, from now on you just need to follow Jiang Ling's orders. The Military Command has no restrictions on brewing wine, so you can brew as much as you want and sell it!"

"Is it really okay?"

"Of course you can. If you don't have enough food in the future, you can go to the military headquarters to buy more. Jiangling has reclaimed so much land, there will be no shortage of food in the future, so there is no need to ban alcohol."

The prohibition of alcohol restricts the common people. The gentry secretly brews wine, and the wine brewed by the gentry accounts for the majority of the profits!

The common people know it well enough that they will only think of making some wine when they have food to eat. Who would make wine if there is not enough food?

The lees produced from brewing wine can also be used as feed for animal husbandry.

Luo Yuan would have to be crazy to ban winemaking. This is an industry. At that time, there was strong liquor. During the time of Emperor Wen, there was a liquor called Zijinchun, which was a strong liquor.

Strategic materials, okay!
When that damn Hua Tuo comes, alcohol will definitely be needed.

Luo Yuan's words dispelled the anxiety of those who were secretly brewing wine.
