Chapter 7 Expectations and Realities

?The water conservancy project under the outside of Xiyang City was officially launched, and the water conservancy project under the charge of Xu Shao was officially launched. With the assistance of officials and the people who were familiar with the trends of the mountains, rivers and water systems, he inspected the ditches to be rectified.?

?

The old ditches outside Xiyang City are severely silted, so dredging is the first thing to do. Secondly, there are many large and small lakes outside the city. When there is a lot of rain in summer, the lake water overflows and floods the farmland everywhere is also a stubborn disease, so the lakes must be connected with canals for diversion.

The direction of the canal also requires passing through large areas of farmland. During the rainy season, the gates should be opened to drain the water to prevent the overflowing lakes from rippling out from all over the lakes. When it does not rain, the gates should be closed to store water for the purpose of irrigating the farmland.

It takes a lot of young and strong people to clear ditches, and the Chen army soldiers captured on New Year's Eve were just in handy. The Tian family, who had never served in labor in the past, was also summoned by the government to send young and strong people to participate in the construction of water conservancy.

Tian started paying rent and adjustment this year, and the water conservancy repairs and their farmlands were also included in the field around Xiyang City. If the canal can be successfully penetrated, Tian will also be the beneficiary of it, so he is very enthusiastic.

In addition, half of the state soldiers who were supervisors and half of the laborers and officials who arranged various matters, Xu Biejia's command had more than 2,000 laborers this time, all the tools provided by the government were provided by the shovels and hoes.

The output of the railway in Bazhou is small. These agricultural tools are all built by the state yamen in Huangzhou's blacksmith shops, and the expenses are deducted from the property scooped by Tian Yuansheng and others. In addition, the state yamen also implemented a new agricultural tools - Quyuan Plough.

The official fields outside Xiyang City were crowded with people, and the people were gathering around the fields and watching the people from the state yamen demonstrate the curved plow. The main difference between this curved plow and the plow used in daily life is that the shaft is not straight and the depth of the plow can be easily adjusted.

In order to better demonstrate the new agricultural tools, the state yamen also used ten pairs of curved plows in ten fields at the same time. People who are interested in this field can personally go to the fields to try this new plow by Yang Jiming, the Sima of the state.

The people are illiterate and cannot understand the complicated explanations, but the farming fields are so mature that they cannot be more mature. After the demonstration by the yamen, they will hold the plow and walk a few times with their own hands. The benefits of this curved plow are really visible.??

?`

"Oh, this is such a good plow! Why didn't I think I would change the straight shaft to a curved shaft!"

"You are illiterate, so how can you compare to Yang Sima?"

Xiyang City has never been so lively. People are talking about this new farm tool that is closely related to their lives. The state government has issued an announcement that the curved plow will be promoted in Bazhou. Not only that, even the Huangzhou General Administration Office, the Anzhou General Administration Office, and the Xiangzhou General Administration Office must be promoted.

The State Office ordered people to build many new cherry plows. Those who can't afford it can rent them. If you have a cherry plow at home, you can ask the State Office to help you renovate it. Of course, those with more money can buy it directly. Everyone has a high acceptance of this cherry plow.

However, it is difficult for people to accept the next demonstration of rice transplanting and horse transplanting. Everyone has been sowing seeds in the fields for generations. Now it is unreasonable that the state yamen says that transplanting rice can increase the yield!

You have to raise seedlings in the seedling fields first, then pull them out and then plant them in the field. You can eat it if you bend down and plant them. Although it doesn’t have to work so hard to sit on a “seedling horse” that is similar to a small boat, is it necessary to make such a struggle?

The state government did not force everyone to accept the rice transplanting method to just conduct demonstrations. The officials also explained that the rice transplanting method is now carried out in the official fields. Whether it is good or bad will be known until the autumn harvest is over.

When everyone heard that it was not a forced promotion, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. People felt that farming should be done according to the rules passed down from ancestors. If this method of transplanting rice is not effective, the family will really have to drink the northwest wind when the harvest is bad in autumn.

Yuwen envoy will definitely not cheat people, but this kind of field still needs to be passed down by the ancestors. It is not? Cultivate seedlings, pull out seedlings, and plant seedlings. If you have the time to sow the seeds, you can go home and torture your wife. Why is that hard work?

News after news, new news is a bit special: the government has begun to consume the nails!

In a broken ancient book, Yuwen envoy found that the worms that caused the bulging diseases of humans and livestock were made of snails in the water. Therefore, the state government has issued a notice to investigate the farmland, lakes, nearby ditches and ponds.??

??`

This is the first time that everyone has heard of this statement, and no one has expected that the common visible snails are the nests of the insects that cause bulging diseases. Although the statement is a bit sensational, since Yuwen Jun said this, it is impossible to be wrong.

The State Department issued a notice saying that waters with snails may not be infected with water, but places with snails must have snails in the water. Everyone should be careful not to get water when dealing with snails, otherwise the consequences will be borne by themselves. As for those reed groups in the deserted beaches, where are there snails? If you report them to the State Department, you will receive rewards.

The existing snails of the unreclaimed wastelands will be handled by the state government. If a person has snails in the waters, he must avoid them. Otherwise, he will bear the consequences. In addition, if anyone dares to throw snails in fertile fields, ponds, lakes, and ditches to kill them in poisoning.

At the beginning of the New Year, a series of actions by Yuwen Wen, the governor of Bazhou, increased the enthusiasm of the people a lot. Looking at the canals being built and the newly improved farm tools, everyone was full of expectations for this year's harvest.

......

Expectations are beautiful, reality is cruel, don’t worry Xu Shao is now worried.

He was responsible for repairing water conservancy, but as he understood the deeper his understanding of the boundary water system of Xiyang County, Bazhou, the more he was worried. In addition to being close to the Yangtze River, Xiyang County also had a river called Santai River. This border town county, north of Xiyang, started from Hebei and turned south and turned eastward to Ba. The water was nearly fifty miles long. It is said that the farmland on both sides of the straits benefited a lot, but this was not the case at all.

During the rainy season of summer and autumn, the three rivers will rise as well. At this time, the farmland on both sides of the river will be affected and turned into a vast ocean. Even if the water recedes, many low-lying places are not drained smoothly and are soaked for a long time, it will turn into wasteland and cannot grow even if it grows.

He is now commanding nearly two thousand young and strong people to clean up the dredging, but if he wants to manage the Santai River, it is a drop in the bucket. He asked the officials and staff carefully that if he wants to effectively cure the Santai River, tens of thousands of people must work together for several months. Otherwise, he will pray in the summer that the flood will be the same.

"This is second, the most important thing is that the downstream area is full of snails. The reed marshes are densely packed!" said Hao Wu Bo of Zhizhong. He collected several hard-hit areas according to the reports of the people. They are now concentrated in the low-lying areas in the lower reaches of Santai River.

"Sizong, the envoy said that the insect was staying in the snail shell. I looked at the dense snails in the water and got goose bumps all over my body. Do you know, the people said that those places are Guanyinwa."

"How do you say this?" Xu Shao asked.

"Send a child to Guanyin! As soon as you enter Guanyinwa, both men and women are happy. Women are pregnant for ten months, and men are pregnant for the end!"

Xu Shao heard this and felt a chill. After being infected with the insect, he would get bloated. The disease was that everyone had a big belly and slender hands and feet. It was appropriate and disgusting to describe it as "happy". He really didn't know that the food and food are expensive. Only after becoming a state official knew that it was necessary to work hard to make the people settle down and have a happy life.

"How is Sizong afraid?"

"Scared? What's there to be afraid of!"

Xu Shao and Hao Wu Bo are both young and vigorous. Yu Wen Wen has already said hello in advance. Now the cruel reality is in front of him. Not only did they not retreat but were full of fighting spirit.

What is the difference between reading classics, history, and collections of books but not keeping the people of a state living and working in peace and contentment?

......

An 6, Anzhou General Administration, and Yuwen Envoys of All and Big and Big are talking in the yard.

"Erlang, what's going on in Bazhou? The story of the one-legged bronze man has spread to Xiangzhou!" Dayu Wenjun Wenzhi said helplessly. His younger brother did not expect to have a big incident during his post in Bazhou.

First, he created the name of "judging a case is like a god". Of course, this is a good thing, but the subsequent progress is indeed not as expected by his brother: the local snake in Bazhou rebelled and colluded with internal and external initiation on New Year's Eve. Not only the powerful outside the city, but also Chen Jun opposite the river, was attracted.

Could this uneasy brother be really a 'plague' god and a troublemaker?

"Brother, I can't stand by and watch, right? As a parent, you have to send a trip and add a fire, right?" Xiao Yuwen envoy Jun Yuwen spread his hands and said, "If they want to die, I will let them die!"

Huang Yuansheng, Lu Xiuping and other masterminds were all "skinned and shoveled". Yuwen Wen was "friendly to the powerful Tian family who surrendered to him." However, when Tian Yuansheng, Lu Xiuping was ruthless in defeating anyone else, he pulled the relevant people to the execution ground and beheaded.

He wanted to let the powerful local snakes in Jiangbei provinces see what the outcome of the opposition to Yuwen Evil Wolf. If you don’t listen to reason, you should speak with a knife!

"You, you, you! If you don't go down the right path, you have to come to Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan!" Yu Wenming saw that no one around started to scold his younger brother again, "Wouldn't you be afraid of the gutter capsized when you use your mansion as bait?"

"What if your son is frightened! How to be a father!!" "How can you live in the good mansion after it is bloody and messy!"

Yuwen Wen smiled and said that he was eager to follow the power and not like this, how could he catch the big fish in Jiangnan? The now dead Chen Jun soldiers asked Jiangnan to lead the corpse to be sent to open up wasteland and dig canals as coolies. The few people in Bazhou were barely enough to be 30% of the ones in Xiangzhou. He was trying to find a way to "increase revenue and reduce expenditure."

"If you want to kill Chen Shuling, you will kill him. Is it interesting to fight the top of Xiyang? And what's the matter with that one-legged bronze man!!" Yu Wenming was so sorry that he was not good at steel, "What do you think of you like this?"

The good killing of rebels made a farce for my younger brother. When officials from various states heard it, the evaluation of them would be much lower... Yes, it was much lower.

Yu Wenming breathed somehow relieved. His capable younger brother's reputation became worse, but his brother had a sense of relief that he shouldn't have, which made him feel very awkward.
