Chapter 153 Furnace iron magic skill nibbles mulberry boiling ([-])
More and more people gathered in Niasang Township, and the simple dwellings built with wood or thatch were crowded with people everywhere.

There was a bonfire outside, and volunteers from Pei County were patrolling to prevent fires, and people from each township gathered together according to their familiarity.

It will take a few more days for the official start of work, and Wei, who came from Shangqiu to eat mulberry, also arrived here, holding a piece of wheat cake in his hand and gnawing there.

The eldest son of the nagging family who pushed the Mozhe here was also beside the fire, and took out a piece of bean cake and roasted it on the charcoal, emitting the irresistible aroma unique to beans. fragrance.

They are all from the same township, and they quickly became acquainted. After hearing Wei's name, the man who was baking bean cakes also heard the name.

He was not shy at home, but now seeing many people shy at last, he didn't know how to express his kindness, so he broke off the delicious baked bean cake and handed it to Wei's hand, saying, "My name is Pu, and I once I heard your name in Xiangting."

It has been a long time since Wei migrated here from Shangqiu. Peidi's accent has a strong Xu-Yi flavor, but it is still somewhat similar to the Song dialect.

He took the bean cakes he had offered, returned a pinch of salt, and said with a smile: "When I was in Shangqiu Village, those who had heard of the name were all young men in the village who could fight without fear of death."

Pu Ye laughed and said: "How can there be such a vicious young man in Peixian County nowadays? All of them are either among the righteous teachers, or they have become more honest after being beaten up by the Mozhe. Those who can have some reputation among the village pavilions now, or It’s because of the vastness of the field, or the bravery of volunteers. In the past, the kind of thing that became famous in private fights with others, even if there was, it would be difficult to become famous.”

His words caused a burst of laughter, and one person sitting around the bonfire laughed and said, "Why can't private fighting become famous? Being caught by Mo Chengzi, not to mention confiscating a lot of money, serving as a slave, and taking him to various village pavilions for a parade... "

Pu, Wei and the others laughed together. This is a new trend in Pei County in the past one or two years, which is different from before, and these people who have experienced it before and now have a lot of common language.

Because of his hard work in farming and his ability to cultivate fields in Shangqiu, Wei was often mentioned among the towns and pavilions in the past two years.

Nowadays, hard-working people have become famous people, and those villainous youths in the countryside have become the laughing stock: when it comes to beating, they were beaten violently by the swordsmen of Kyushu Ruishi in Mozhe, and they had to be paraded in accordance with the Wanmintong agreement in Peixian County , It is no longer the time for young people to feel that this person is a hero.

Reversing the climate cannot be accomplished in a day or two, but the correction must be overcorrected. Relying on the violence mastered by the Mohists, they used violence to forcibly reverse the atmosphere in Peixian County, and fostered the correct "values" orientation that the Mohists believed.

As for whether it is absolutely correct, it doesn't matter, there is no such thing as absolute correctness.

Pu had heard about Wei's reputation, and knew that Lu Hua, who had gone deep into the village community, wore a witch's costume, and occasionally passed by the village to help treat some diseases, was his sister, so he felt closer. I got acquainted.

Seizing the opportunity, he asked some questions about opening fields and farming, and Wei answered with some truths he had heard from Shi in the past.

Nowadays, many Mohists who go deep into the villages and pavilions in the villages learned about farming from Shi, and Shi spent the longest time in Shangqiu Village, and Wei was taught by him.

The people around the bonfire became excited when they heard that this was a matter of concern to them, so they all gathered around, and after a while, even the people next to the bonfire were attracted.

A group of people were chatting enthusiastically, and they walked over slowly, and suddenly a few familiar people stood up and said hello.

The two swordsmen who followed Shi loosened their hands from their sword hilts. This is Pei County, and the people who come here can only gather here with paper household registration certificates, and there is no danger.

I have been in the village for a long time, and although I have been busy arguing with those "children" I haven't seen this year, I am used to talking with these people after all, and it is very natural.

"Squeeze over there. It's a little cold today. I'm closer to the fire. I can't compare to you guys who are thick and strong. I'm terribly cold."

The people beside the fire gave up a place with a smile. When the envoy of Chu came last time, he had already met Pu during the meal. He had a good memory. If you don't come down, it will be recorded on the paper you carry with you, and it will be kind to call you by name when you meet in the future.

I greeted a few people I met, and those who couldn't remember the names for a while said hello at the end, just because there were too many people and didn't say hello one by one, and they didn't know.

The Mohists have organized the defense of the city, the sacrifices of tens of thousands of people, and the political affairs of a county, so their organizational skills are not low, and the people gathered here are organized in an orderly manner.

Several iron ore mines have been selected, not far to the south of Niasang. They are all semi-open-pit mines, which are easy to mine.

So far, coal and iron have not been mined in Pei County, and many mines are exposed, which is far from what it looked like after 2000.

A total of about 9 young and strong people came from the six townships. That is to say, there were about [-] households in the six townships joining the Mohist grassroots system, which amounted to nearly [-] or [-] people.

The number of these households may not be as large as that of Taoyi, let alone Linzi and Luoyi, but the effective rule of the Mohists in the villages can make these places burst out with the ultimate mobilization power that a big city can have.

This mobilization limit is also directly related to the Propaganda Department led by Suo. A few years later, during the battle between Zheng and Chu, [-] Zheng people fled without letting go, because those Zheng people opposed the war with Chu. I don't know why I am fighting, so I don't care about this kind of succession war between nobles, and run as long as I can.

In Pei County, at least that is unlikely to happen.

What will start the day after tomorrow is not a war, but the pros and cons must be clearly explained.

The work of the first phase of recruitment is extremely important. If you can't do it well in these three months, the following things will only become more difficult.

Road construction, mining, furnace building, foundation ramming, clay preparation, etc. all need to be completed within three months, and the tasks are extremely arduous.

Three months is also a peak time that can be maintained by relying on enthusiasm. If it exceeds this period, it will be too long, and some dissatisfaction will breed.

Fortunately, Shi Shi has really seen iron farm tools and knows the history of some iron farm tools after they were used on a large scale, so he can use everything he sees to say what the people sitting around him like to hear most.

Whether a person can publicize does not depend on how much truth he knows, but whether he can know what the target of propaganda wants to hear.If you tell the farmers at this time with the words of Tianzhi and love for righteousness, the effect will be greatly reduced.

It's not just painting a big cake in vain, he really knows it; even if it's a big cake, the time to realize it is not too long.

So when Shi just talked about the beautiful scenery after the popularization of iron tools, more than a hundred people had gathered around the fire, pushing forward with all their strength, wanting to hear Shi continue to talk.

I know what farmers want, what they are afraid of, what they expect, and how long their patience and passion can last.

Therefore, in the blueprint he drew, there are no stories of more than a hundred years, and no dreams after ten years, but at most, there are clear things with a time limit of three to five years.

There are more and more people around the campfire, but the surrounding area is getting quieter and quieter. There are only appropriate voices and the sound of the campfire, which is surprisingly weird.

When he said that within three years, every household in Pei County would have one or two pieces of iron farming tools, there was a burst of applause around the campfire that went straight to the sky.

Pu shouted loudly, knowing in his heart that with the situation in his home, as long as ironware appeared, he would be able to buy some in his home within a year.

Thinking of this, and thinking about Shishuo's agricultural tools, I couldn't help but think of many wonderful things.

For example, the hoe for weeding that Wei told him before, it is best to use iron, not to mention light, but also sharp enough.

As long as there is strength, there can be no weeds in more than ten acres of bean sprouts.The Mohist also said that weeds will compete with bean sprouts for water, fertilizer and sunshine. If there is no weed, I am afraid that there will be a lot of more grain. Maybe we can really use bean cakes to feed cows and horses in the future.

Another example is that the iron hoe used for land reclamation that I heard before is actually similar to the stone hoe used today, but it is thinner, sharper, and lighter. You don’t have to worry about it breaking when it hits the stone, and you don’t have to worry about your arm breaking after a while. I lost my strength.

If he had an iron hoe, he could reclaim the wasteland he had set his sights on over there in the wilderness.Don't be afraid of lack of strength, but fear that after exerting strength, the harvest will not belong to you.

One person with an iron picket can reclaim one mu of land a day, and wasteland is everywhere. After three to five years of work, the family's land will be overturned.After repaying the cattle and horse money, he was separated from the army and bought the cattle and horses himself. Life will only get better and better.

Even if they are not separated from the team, the iron plowshares still need to be pulled by oxen and horses to reclaim wasteland.At that time, I will discuss it with the people in Wuzhong, and the big deal is to reclaim it together. It will be easier to build some small ridges and dams, and more people will be reclaimed.

Thinking of these, Pu felt that his whole body was full of strength.

This is all busy for myself.For more land and a better life, this is a very simple reason, and it is also a reason that is in line with Mohist’s desire to gather people, and it is also a reason enough for farmers to sacrifice a lot.

As for the war between the nobles, the peasants are really not interested.They were either fugitive serfs, or even if they were conscripted to participate in the war, they would have nothing to gain. Instead, they would waste their fields, but the fixed rent could not be exempted, and they were the ones who starved to death.

At this moment, after nearly two years of propaganda by Mo Zhe, a simple and simple farmer like Rupu can accept that the only reason for fighting is to protect their general will and their lives.

As for mining, it is not as serious as fighting, but it is more important to the immediate interests.

Pu thought that he could persevere for the dreams he thought of all his life, even if he could produce iron in five years, he would definitely be able to persevere.

However, I think that the beauties depicted today can only last for three months to half a year.

Those who think they can persist for five or ten years may have them, but not many, so they need more and different incentives, not just a good life in the future.

　As I said before, the technical problems without generational difference are briefly mentioned... The basic technical innovations are written sideways.
