Emperor Road of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 490 Reform
"But the people are cautious, and I'm afraid it will not be easy to promote." Du Ji hesitated for a moment, and said hesitantly.

What Du Ji said is not unreasonable, let alone the common people, even if Du Ji has never seen those three things, he can't believe it.

When Liu Yu heard it, he felt that what Du Ji said was reasonable, and immediately pondered, "It's true, how about it, let's test it in the field outside the city."

"It's feasible, but it's better to call the people to watch, so as to reassure the people." Du Ji thought for a while, and then said, "Also, you better test it yourself."

Du Ji said this because farming has been a major national event since ancient times, and the emperors in ancient times had personally advised Nong Sang.Of course, it is also because these three things are good things that the common people don't know, and they may still regard them as a gift from heaven, so they are more attached to Liu Yu.

People's hearts are like water that can carry a boat, and sometimes people's hearts are such a powerful thing.Of course, sometimes it's worthless.

Liu Yu agreed to Du Ji's proposal, and even decided to let his wife use the weaving machine.

After the decision, Du Ji began to build momentum. On the one hand, people spread the news, and on the other hand, people actively prepared.

And Liu Yu didn't have so many things to do. When he returned to the mansion, he talked about the matter with his wives and concubines, and then nothing happened.When it comes to letting Zhen Jiang and the others use the weaving machine to perform in public, it is really difficult for them.

These girls are either born in the family, or they like to wield knives and guns, so they don't know how to use a weaving machine.But they were also sensible, and they didn't refuse. Instead, they got together to learn seriously.Even Liu Han followed suit and prepared to go to demonstrate together that day.

Later, Da Qiao came to visit, and then she joined... Then, the wives and concubines of all the ministers and generals actually joined. This is really a grand event...

When Liu Yu found out, he was dumbfounded, but then he said happily: "This is a good thing, just to expand the influence. By the way, why don't we also gather the idle civil and military, and let them demonstrate the use of Quyuanli and keel water together with me?" Car...haha, wonderful, this idea is wonderful."

When Liu Yu passed on this order, the generals and officials were all dumbfounded.This, what is this called.

However, this is not over yet, the students and gentlemen of those academies also came to join in the fun.Well, there is no need to promote it now, because it has already spread.

The time is getting closer, and Liu Yu can also skillfully use the Quyuan plow and the keel waterwheel.When he used these two things, he couldn't help but think of the scene of working in the field with his father when he was a teenager in his previous life.Then, he had an idea and thought of agricultural reform.

This is not his delusion, but the current agricultural system is not conducive to his rule.Historically, he remembered that the land equalization system was still used, and the land problem was alleviated.But he knew that the land equalization system also had its flaws.However, he couldn't become a fat man by eating one bite, so he decided to adopt the land equalization system first, and then slowly reform.

It is not easy to implement the land equalization system, because it will touch some people's profits after all.Therefore, he immediately secretly recruited Jia Xu.Yes, there is only Jia Xu, because Jia Xu itself is not a big family, and he has no behavior of collecting money to buy land.

Jia Xu was really shocked. He was shocked by Liu Yu before, but he was never as shocked as this time.He even trembled when he spoke, "My lord, if this happens, there may be a big commotion."

"Yeah, so I'm asking you to find a way for me." Liu Yu said this with a smile.

But Jia Xu's body trembled when he heard this, knowing in his heart that he couldn't escape, and he would definitely be dragged into the water by Liu Yu.After a little thought, he came to a decision. Since he couldn't refuse Liu Yu, he should take advantage of it for himself.

In fact, Jia Xu understands that the biggest benefit he can get is Liu Yu's trust.

After pondering for a long time, Jia Xu said slowly: "This matter should be done together with persuading Nong Sang, because under the circumstances that day, no one dared to go against the will of the young master. However, this matter still needs the young master to take the lead, that is, When it comes to reform, it is advisable to start with the young master. The so-called leading by example is exactly like this."

"Okay, then it's decided." Liu Yu closed his eyes and thought about it. After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes and said firmly.

This matter is confidential and should not be made public, so Liu Yu did not mention it to many people.

Soon, it was the day of spring plowing, and people were densely packed outside the city.They looked at the place surrounded by soldiers, pointed and chattered non-stop.

What the soldiers surrounded was an open space and a paddy field.The open space was already full of people, all ministers of civil and military affairs.Of course, there are also some famous people.

After a while, Liu Yu came on horseback and walked around according to the ceremony.Then, the wives, concubines and children of the ministers, led by Liu Yu's wives, concubines, children and sister, came to the open space.The guards brought up the silk weaving machine, and they began to work.

His face was solemn, as if he was doing something solemn.

The scene was also silent, and everyone looked at the open space with wide eyes.As for whether to look at the people or the weaving machine, it is not known.

After a while, they all stopped one after another, apparently finished.Liu Yu and the others don't feel anything yet, after all, they don't know how to weave silk or cloth.But the women who were watching were all in an uproar. They knew the power of this silk weaving machine, so they couldn't help discussing it, almost all of which were praises.

Liu Yu was overjoyed, knowing that the first step was successful.Without further ado, he immediately asked people to lift up the keel waterwheel and Quyuan plow.Then, after saying a few loud words, he took off his shoes, pulled up his trouser legs, and helped Qu Yuanli to go down the field.

Not to mention the effect of Qu Yuanli, Liu Yu's behavior alone made the common people excited.In the eyes of the common people, Liu Yu is a vassal, a figure like the son of heaven, but now this big man is doing the same thing as them, how can they not be excited?
Seeing this, all the officials went to the fields one after another immediately.

Soon, a spectacular scene appeared, Liu Yu led all the officials to plow the fields together.Not to mention, Liu Yu also plowed the fields in his previous life, so now that he is plowing, he is plowing very well and quickly, leaving a lot of others behind.

Everyone was surprised, but the people saw Liu Yu being so proficient, they couldn't help but feel good about it, and applauded one after another.

Liu Yu was encouraged to plow faster, and he finished plowing in a short while.At this time, the others still have half of it.

The common people laughed one after another, and when the officials finished farming, they stopped laughing, but were shocked and ecstatic.Because, this curved plow is really easy to use, much easier to use than their plows.And the keel waterwheel that followed also made them ecstatic.

At this moment, Liu Yu knew that his goal had been achieved.But he knows that these are just foreshadowing, and the next step is the main event - agricultural reform!
