Wei and Jin Cooks

  Chapter 1113 Vigorous

The ice and snow on the ground melted, and when the spring breeze blew, overnight, the green buds rushed to break through everything that was pressing on their heads, and grew rapidly, but after another night, the emerald green became verdant. You can still see the yellow barren soil, and after only a few days of work, it is all green, and the grass can no longer have toes.

  The farmers immediately went to the field to look at the wheat seedlings, and saw that the wheat seedlings were green and dewdrops were still hanging on the leaves, which was very gratifying.

  The farmers were happy and couldn't care about anything else. They immediately shoveled and pressed all the freshly grown grass into the soil, and fertilized the roots of the wheat seedlings. At the same time, they began to plow the land for spring planting.

  Zhao Hanzhang went to see the fields that the soldiers had set up, and was also very happy. He immediately ordered that all labor, military affairs, rituals and music should be stopped nationwide, and spring plowing should be the main focus.

  No one is allowed to stand in the way of spring plowing.

The whole country was on fire for spring plowing. For this reason, Zhao Hanzhang took the little emperor to the outskirts to show the plowing on the spot. She and the little emperor walked around the field twice with the plow, and then asked the officials below to set an example. It is good to persuade Nong Sang to work.

   At this time, there were fewer state affairs, and there were not even twenty official documents that needed to be corrected by Zhao Hanzhang a day. The people were busy, and the officials were also busy, so there was no time for other things.

  Zhao Hanzhang rolled up his sleeves, carried a **** and went to farm with Fu Tinghan in his own village.

  It is mainly to fertilize the wheat, and then start plowing to prepare wheat and beans.

  In addition to wheat, beans and rice are the most important grains in the Central Plains.

  In the area around Luoyang, winter wheat can be grown, as well as spring wheat, soybeans, rice and other crops.

  The amount of winter wheat planted in time in the autumn and winter of last year was not much, so this year, spring wheat has been planted on a large scale in Luoyang.

  This is true not only in Luoyang, but also in all places affected by the war such as Bingzhou, Jizhou and Qingzhou, not to mention Youzhou.

  Youzhou is the hardest-hit area, and the main goal is to put this year's spring sowing, not only Zhao Hanzhang values ​​it, but Shi Le also values ​​it.

  Zhao Hanzhang went to the fields in person, and from time to time went to inspect the fields in Luoyang to encourage the people to cultivate, and Shi Le did the same.

  He travels between counties and counties every day, checking from time to time whether the grain seeds in which county have been distributed, or where the grain seeds are not enough, and buy them quickly while they are still farming.

  So Zhao Hanzhang could receive telegrams from Shi Le every day, one in the morning and one in the evening.

  Basically in the evening, I cried to her about the shortage of grain seeds and farm tools in some places, and less than one tenth of the arable land for the common people. However, Youzhou was poor and had no money to buy grain seeds, farm tools, etc., and hoped that the imperial court could support one or two;

  In the morning, I called her to remind her, "Can the matter we discussed last night be completed? I don't know when it will arrive?"

  Zhao Hanzhang could only reply to him, "Understood, I understand, there is work to be done, don't rush."

It’s not good to write long and long telegrams, she can only write to him, let him think of a way, the treasury is very poor, she has given special preferential treatment to Youzhou, there are other places, Youzhou has it, other If there is no place, there is also Youzhou.

  Zhao Hanzhang told Shi Le, "There are mines in Youzhou, send people to find them, and the financial difficulties can be solved."

   Now she sent a lot of people out to look for mines, no matter what kind of mines, Dajin is in short supply now, and Youzhou is now the majority of Hebei and Shanxi, and there are many mineral resources in it.

  She intends to let people find it first, and then repair the road later, so that the things produced in Youzhou can be transported to the Central Plains, and the things from the Central Plains can enter Youzhou more quickly.

   In contrast, Qingzhou and Gwangju are much more self-improving.

  Since Zhao Kuan and Sun Linghui went to Qingzhou and Guangzhou, they rarely complained to Zhao Hanzhang, and rarely asked for things from the court. They were very self-reliant and self-reliant, and they were two very good children.

  Although they are well-behaved, Zhao Hanzhang still wants to write a letter to care and ask about the situation in the two states.

  Zhao Kuan did not receive the letter. He was leading a horse in the rain. Because the road was muddy and slippery, the group of people could only get off the horse and walk forward in muddy water.

  The rain was still falling, and they didn't dare to hide under the trees. There were bursts of thunder, and thunder in spring was rare.

   "My lord, there is an earth temple in front, which can temporarily shelter from the rain."

  As soon as Zhao Kuan heard this, he quickened his pace and accidentally fell down. The guards and servants immediately stepped forward to help him, but his feet became unstable and he almost fell on him.

  Zhao Kuan struggled to get up from the ground while supporting his waist, watched in horror, and quickly stopped them from coming, "I can do it by myself, I can do it by myself, don't come here."

   After he got up from the ground and walked through this section of the road, he and others helped each other into the Earth Temple. After searching for a long time, he found a dry place in the corner.

  It was raining heavily outside, but it was raining moderately in the temple.

  Zhao Kuan took off the coir raincoat and bamboo hat on his body, shook the water and put it aside, the servant hurriedly brought up a handkerchief and wiped it for him, "Mr. Lang, this is spring rain, what if you get sick?"

  Zhao Kuan stepped back and pulled him aside to avoid being drenched by the rainwater leaking from the roof, "I'm wearing a bamboo hat, it's fine."

  He glanced at the road outside which was becoming more and more muddy under the rain, and said angrily: "One day I have to repair this road!"

  The boy said: "How much will it cost?"

Zhao Kuan: "Isn't it just money? When the spring plowing of my people in Qingzhou is over, I will let them continue to dry salt. I can make a lot of money just by selling salt. If I grow more mulberry and hemp, and weave more cloth, money, It always pays off."

  Zhao Kuan was full of confidence, "After two years, the imperial court will build the wharf, and there will be more merchants coming and going. I don't believe I won't even have the money to build a road."

  Zhao Kuan stood in the rain and looked forward to the future. He waited for the rain to stop before moving on, and arrived at the place when it was getting dark.

  The village elder was surprised when he came out, "Are you really our governor?"

  Zhao Kuan: "Didn't you see the official seal? I heard that you fought over the land? There are so many lands nowadays. Didn't each of your family get the full amount of land? How can you still fight over the land?"

Hearing this, the village elder cheered up and said, "Your Majesty, we have allocated the land in full, but there is still the next generation. There are twelve new couples in our village in the past six months, and now three daughter-in-laws are pregnant. It is estimated that this year There will be children in autumn, so if you have children, don’t you get the land? The land is close to our village, so it should be distributed to our village, and the children in our village will be divided from that land in the future.”

  Zhao Kuan: "The land can only be distributed after the child becomes an adult. There are still 16 years left. Are you thinking too far?"

   "Not far, not far. There are children in our village who go to the county school. What do you say when you come back... What, if people don't think about the long-term, they will definitely have troubles coming to their door."

  Zhao Kuan: "... People who have no long-term worries must have near-term worries."

   "Yes, yes, yes, that's what you said, sir, look, can you tell the county government to give that piece of land to our village?"

See you tomorrow
