After the severe winter, the calendar opened a new page, and it was the year of the fourteenth year of Yuanshuo.

When spring arrives, there will only be very few places in the south where it will snow. When it comes to spring, it won't be long before spring flowers bloom everywhere.

In most places in the north, the arrival of spring is only when the ice and snow begin to melt. It is precisely because of the melting of ice and snow. Many places will not only temporarily form multiple streams, but the ground will also become abnormally wet.

If the moist ground is repeatedly stepped on, it will undoubtedly become muddy. As the climate gets warmer, the muddy ground will grow wildly with various plants, especially the weeds.

Guanzhong is calculated according to the area, maybe it should be located in the northwest? This place will not completely melt until the middle of spring. If the season does not change much, there will be a rainy season in the middle of spring. Therefore, the spring plowing in Guanzhong is basically around the end of the year.

In fact, the farther to the north, the later the time of spring plowing, and the earlier the time of spring plowing the farther to the south.

On the land of the Han Empire, the south at this moment has entered the busiest moment for farmers. There are working figures everywhere in the fields. The first thing they do is to turn over the ridges.

The ridge is the boundary used by each family to delimit the acres they belong to. While rectifying the ridge, they also maintain the water delivery channels.

"The price of cows is too cheap now."

"Isn't it?"

"This is the benefit of laying down the grassland!"

"With cattle, the farm work that used to take a month to complete can now be completed in three to five days."

Laying down the grassland is of course beneficial. The direct manifestation is to provide a large number of livestock, especially cattle and horses, which are very important to the farming nation.

In the current era, cattle are basically used for farming in the south, and cattle are not selected when there are horses in the north.

That is determined by the soil quality and appearance of the two regions, and it is also a matter of different needs for planting crops in the regions. To put it bluntly, most of the cultivated fields in the south are paddy fields, while the north is dominated by dry fields.

The hooves of a cow and a horse are not the same, and then there is a difference in pull and endurance. Generally speaking, it is best to use cattle as animal power in muddy fields. Horses are better than cattle if they are used in dry fields to pull the plow.

If you observe the history of farming in the world, you will find that where the Malay plow is used, the farming speed will definitely far exceed the use of cattle. Most countries and nations in the world actually use horse-drawn plows far more than ox-pull plows.

"Even if you really can't afford cows, you can rent them from the township community!"

"In such a year, how squandered it is to not have enough money to buy cows?"

The most intuitive data is that when the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty ruled, the price of cattle suitable for farming was not less than 50,000 yuan; now, the price of cattle suitable for farming is only 5,000 yuan. It is equivalent to a cliff-like fluctuation in the price of cattle.

Five thousand dollars is actually a large sum for ordinary people, but don't forget who the Han Empire had farmland, except for those who originally owned the land, they were all rewarded for their merits.

It is necessary to understand the point. As far as the Jin Dynasty is concerned, those who originally owned the land will not be too poor even if they are poor.

At the same time that they were rewarded with land due to meritorious merits, since they were able to obtain the title, at least they had participated in a war, and the soldiers of the Han army were able to get 40% of the seizures. The above profit sharing, how can you get no less than one thousand dollars after a war.

Only a very small number of people can get the title in a war. Most people actually need to go through more than ten wars to get the title. So as long as they are willing to save money and wait for retirement from the army, whose package will be less than one. Ten thousand dollars?

Ten thousand dollars, five thousand dollars were spent on buying a farm cow. The land was earned through military service. If a knight settles down, the local government will also need to build a house for him, that is, in addition to some necessities of life, such as Except for the furniture and scattered bowls, chopsticks, scoops, basins and other small things, unless you want to buy some non-daily necessities, otherwise there is no other cost.

"A year's plan is in spring? There is no such thing as that now!"

"Spring plowing is still extremely important. It's just that there are more ways to get money now."

A man who looks simple and honest may be a warrior with blood on his hands. He has won military merits because of his bravery. He has hundreds of acres of fertile land and a lot of cash. In addition, he has more than one. slave.

Among the busy figures in the field, at least seven of the ten are slaves.

Most of the slaves in the South came from the Indochina Peninsula. While they looked dark, their bones tended to be thin.

As far as the quality of slaves is concerned, the original slaves of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla are the best in farming work. They are also farming people, and they are not lazy while familiar with farming.

Slaves from the grasslands want them to farm? Basically, you need to teach from scratch. There is so much praise, probably because the slaves from the grasslands are not lazy.

In recent years, many slaves have been brought back from the Western Regions. The slaves south of the Yangtze River rarely come from the Three Kingdoms, the grasslands and the Western Regions. Even if there are, they are brought by demobilized individuals who participated in the war. Basically slaves from the Indochina Peninsula.

If the Indo-China Peninsula is divided by civilization, it belongs to the farming ethnic region, but in fact, whether it is present or later, as long as the local indigenous males, they are definitely not good farmers.

"Those monkeys are experts in climbing trees and sleeping late, so they know how to work well in the ground, but they don't use whips to educate them."

"Yes……"

"I heard that the monkey from Nanyang can be replaced by Asan soon?"

"Can you change it?"

"It was also said by Jun Zhong Paoze, who was a guest at home."

"How to change the law?"

I have to admit that the male slaves in the Indochina Peninsula are really unusable. Even if they use a whip to urge them, the monkeys will not let it go when they can be lazy.

The slaves in the house are monkeys from the Indochina Peninsula. It is a bad thing for everyone. They complain constantly. Since the complainers are not really mud-legs, they have titles, the government dare not ignore those complaints.

The government responded to the central government, and the central government could not ignore the grievances of the meritorious class. Considering that the Gupta Empire gained a large number of slaves after the destruction of the Gupta Empire, Ah San was better than the Nanyang Monkey to some extent, so he proposed to replace the Nanyang Monkey with the government. Three policies.

"When did this happen?"

"Listening to Paoze, the fastest is this autumn this year?"

"It just happens to be the autumn harvest!"

"Asan Slave, none of us have used this piece, I don't know if it will work well."

"No matter how bad it is, can you still be worse than those monkeys?"

"makes sense!"

In the contiguous fields, the "moo" sounds of the cows undulated each other, they were put on the plow, and they stepped in the mud with the plow.

As a farming nation, the plow has always been one of the most important tools. Most people can’t tell what the style of the plow was before the pre-Qin period. In the pre-Han period, the plow went through a reform and gradually used it uniformly. Straight shaft plow.

The so-called straight shaft plow, as the name suggests, is a straight-line plow. It also has a triangular propulsion plowshare, a grip and a related torso. It is very difficult to rotate when used, and the plowing will also appear to be laborious.

Liu Yan has not brought much technology to this era. Fortunately, he is not someone who has not worked in farming. When he was a child, he actually needed to participate in work. He was exposed to paddy field work. That is why he did not have too much observation at the time. It's just a vague impression.

As the emperor of the Central Plains dynasty, no matter how ridiculous the method is, the emperor must have the patience to perform the necessary show, which is to conduct a farming show at a specific time.

Liu Yan became the son of emperor. In fact, he does not exclude farming by himself. It is more correct to focus on his position as an "operator" and an "arbitrator" instead of farming by himself.

When participating in the farming show, Liu Yan saw the straight-wheel plow. In fact, it was not the first time he found out. It was his operation that made him feel that something was wrong, and he discovered the characteristics of difficulty in turning.

Liu Yan left his mind and started to observe the plough. It took a long time before he figured out something was wrong, but he only offered some opinions, but he didn't work as a designer.

Shaofu got the order, and the emperor asked them to develop a more advanced plow, especially when it came to improving the rotation and structure. After repeated research and improvement, when the finished product was taken out, it was very close to the Quyuan Plow.

It’s just close to the style of Quyuan Plow, not a real Quyuan Plow. To blame, Liu Yan’s memory is too poor. Unlike the traveler, he can remember all the poems and songs, and he can also remember everything related to farming, which is exaggerated. One point also mastered all modern scientific and technological knowledge.

"The male monkey must be replaced by Ah San. Ah San is definitely better than the male monkey if he is worse. A certain is pure curiosity. Where will they be sent to the monkeys we changed?"

"I don't know this anymore."

Slaves from the Indo-China Peninsula, males are incapable of physique or character. A thin body cannot do heavy work, and a lazy character cannot do meticulous work. It is said that it is the worst slave that no Han people would object to.

In fact, the center of the Han Empire did not think about what arrangements should be made for the male slaves who "recovered" the Indo-China Peninsula. Maybe they would be sent to repair roads, or more likely to be sent to various mines. They were always able to perform. The point of effect is that these monkeys are unusable, and there is probably no idea of ​​cherishing them. The monkeys will definitely be consumed very quickly.

"Are you talking about San?"

"Ah, yeah."

"Asan, I have seen it. It is not much different from the monkeys in the Indochina Peninsula in appearance."

"No! What's the difference between changing and not changing?"

"It looks very similar..., Asan should be more diligent than a monkey."

Among the people gathered together, five or six out of ten have returned from the army. They are actually not so worried.

The collective wishes and demands are capable of being passed on to the local government. The local government has not dared to ignore and cover up, and the central government will certainly not ignore the demands of their group. This is their greatest confidence.

Only the absolutely disadvantaged groups will have no sense of security, and it is only natural for them to feel insecure. After all, there is no response to the request, and no one will take them seriously. Where is the sense of security?

In the Han Empire, people who have no right to speak are usually those who have no service history. If they have a history of service, even if they have not made military merits to obtain the title, whoever does not have the robe in the army will always be able to get the title. ,

The ruling groups, including Liu Yan, regard the nobles as the foundation of the empire, and they also hope that the nobles can play a role in stabilizing the place.

It was the moment when the national war encountered the need for conscription. Those who have noble ranks are also the best source of troops. After all, they are some groups who have lived in the military life. Once they are conscripted again, they will soon become combat effective. It can be used immediately on the battlefield.

It doesn’t mean that if you don’t have a title, you will be completely ignored in the Han Empire, but just like the phrase "take responsibility, have obligations, and enjoy treatment", don’t feel angry when you encounter anything. You have to think about yourself. What have you done for the country, so I am embarrassed to ask the country what it can do for itself?

Individuals and individuals pay attention to giving and gaining, and the same should be true of individuals and countries. It is normal to enjoy equal rights as much as you pay, and it is the biggest abnormality if you don't do anything but ask for more than someone else.

"When can I be selected for the expedition..."

"It's not that we don't work hard and don't pay attention to it. There really is no chance."

"Earlier, the county soldiers had a chance to be transferred outside. I heard that this time only the standing army was dispatched to fight the grassland."

"I don't know if it will become the norm? If you go out to fight and don't adjust the county soldiers, there are only a few people who can enter the standing army."

"I should have been fighting for it a long time ago, but it is getting harder and harder now."

Without a title and no chance to participate in a national war, it would indeed be a bad thing.

When someone with a sage heard complaints from others, they would choose to shut their mouths no matter how proud they were.

Since the twelfth year of Yuanshuo ~lightnovelpub.net~the Han Empire has had large-scale military operations, and this is the grassland war.

Before the actual start of the fight, I don't know how many people are looking forward to participating. First, the standing army keeps asking for the battle, and the county soldiers in the north are also hoping to be selected as auxiliary soldiers.

When the war really started, most people were destined to be disappointed. What they didn't expect was that the number of troops to be mobilized would be so small, and what they didn't expect was that this batch of grassland coalition forces would be so useless.

Compared with the previous nomads on the grassland, some new generations of grassland, such as Rouran and Gaoche, are indeed quite useless, especially the Han army in their heyday.

Hundreds of thousands of grassland coalition forces were repeatedly defeated and annihilated by less than 40,000 Han troops, which really disappointed those who wanted to join the war in the form of reinforcements.

"You don't have to be on the battlefield, right?"

"Then you say, is there any way to get the title!"

It seems, it seems, maybe... Is there an easier way for ordinary people?
