Farmer of Shu Han Chapter 1139

Chapter 1139 Turmoil

In his previous life, when he was eating sand in the Northwest, Feng Duhu did a lot of work for the local villagers in order to improve the fish and water situation between the army and the people.

In the vast desert, march directly to work on foot, which can not only train but also help fellow villagers.

You can also experience the difficulty of the ancestors and inherit the spirit of the ancestors:

It is not only a manifesto, but also a propaganda team, and a seeding machine.

Anyway, in Feng Duhu's impression, except for not helping fellow villagers deliver their children, he has done everything capable.

No way, the folks in southern Xinjiang are indeed living a harder life than the outside world. If you can help, you must try your best to help.

What repairing canals, planting fruit trees, building sheepfolds, pulling lines...

Not to mention farm work like picking cotton, even plucking cotton can be played twice in a decent way.

Although the technology is not good enough, it is still possible to pose.

Often, the aunt on the side will show her auntie smile to these green guys.

The work may not have been done well, but the effect has been achieved, and the military-civilian relationship has further become harmonious.

As for now, Feng Duhu doesn't even need to put on a show, he just gives orders, at most he gives advice, and someone will help him with it.

Not to mention playing cotton, even if Feng Duhu wanted to listen to play the pipa, someone would send the most professional girl band.

Of course, with Feng Du's disposition not good at protecting women, he is naturally not in the mood to listen to the pipa.

He prefers to have people come and see the cotton now.

But it is a pity that the cotton that has just been planted not long ago has only exposed its bud tips.

It is in stark contrast to the surrounding wheat seedlings that are growing well.

If you don't pay attention to it, you may think it is a wasteland.

These days, when an old farmer goes to his field, he sees that piece of good irrigated land lying in ruins, and he can't help cursing:

"I don't know who is so prodigal, what a good piece of land, to grow grass!"

Looking from a distance, there are well-grown crop fields all around, as if it has been chewed by a dog.

It is also good if it is rotation farming.

But the land was plowed evenly, and even the ridges were pushed straight.

Looking at the sprouts emerging from the ground, it is obvious that they are neither wheat nor millet.

Isn't this planting grass?

Or is it that the farming season was missed and some beans were planted indiscriminately?

The owner of this family must not know how to farm.

If you are in this mood to waste the field, why not rent it to me to plant it!

Old Qin people have a hot temper, and cursed a few times in the open space, but couldn't find the owner, and felt that it was not enough.

So he let out a bitter "pooh" and spit into the ground.

When I walked to my field, I looked at the lush wheat seedlings that had begun to ear.

The face that was originally full of anger suddenly revealed a loving smile.

Stretched out his hand and touched the wheat leaf lightly. The rough hand seemed extremely gentle at this moment.

It's like touching a newborn baby.

In this gentleness, there was even a little trembling.

Shows agitation and restlessness of the owner.

How old is it?

As a real farmer, how many years have you planted the land, but have you never touched your own crops?

It has been more than 20 years and nearly 30 years. For this old man who is only in his forties, this has been most of his life.

And it is the most valuable twenty or thirty years.

In the past thirty years, as a farmer, he has been working for the Wei thief.

Obviously it was the land he planted so hard, but in the end most of it fell into the hands of the thief Wei.

Not only that, Wei thief's Tuntian Hakka House does not allow people to have a moment of leisure even in winter.

Although it is said that Tuntian Ke is not under the jurisdiction of the local government, so they will not be conscripted by the government.

But this does not mean that the Tuntian Hakka House, which has jurisdiction over Tuntian Hakka, will easily let these free laborers go.

During the reign of Huang Chu, it is not known whether Cao Pi made a deal with the aristocratic family or wanted to buy the support of the aristocratic family, so he actually delegated the power of Tuntian Hakka Mansion.

The imperial court only collected a certain amount of money and food from the Tuntian Hakka Mansion, and no longer directly governed the specific operations of the Tuntian Hakka Mansion.

Even in order to reduce the burden on the court, Cao Pi allowed Tuntian Hakka Mansion to find its own way out.

It is a bit similar to the reform of a certain enterprise in later generations.

Cao Pi's reform, in addition to feeding the Diannong officials of the Tuntian Hakka Mansion, the local aristocratic and powerful families are also well fed.

Of course, there is considerable overlap between these two groups...

On the contrary, the largest group in this reform has become the biggest victim.

Instead of enjoying any benefits, he was squeezed even harder.

Tuntian Hakka House colluded with local Haoyou to sell state-owned assets.

While dealing with the imperial court, in order to keep more money and food for himself, he intensified his efforts to squeeze the surplus value of the farmers.

The more the grain is divided, the more the harvest is. Even in the winter, they have to confiscate the farmland to paint walls and build houses, pave roads and build bridges.

After a whole year, I don't have enough to eat or wear warm clothes, and I don't have a day to spare, working hard.

The name of the Tuntian Ke who rented and planted the imperial court's fields, and gradually became a slave of the Tuntian Hakka Mansion.

As a result, over the years, the villagers have continued to flee, and even small-scale riots have never stopped.

Hedong is one of the largest farmlands in the Wei State. It is not without reason that a large-scale farmer rebellion broke out at the slightest provocation.

"It's still the emperor of Han who is kind and loving for the people!" The old farmer squatted on the ground, looking at the wheat field that belonged to his family, feeling deeply moved.

One person can share fifty acres of land, and only one tithe is required.

Tun Tian Tun Tian, Tun your grandma!

The more he knows that life is not easy, the more angry the old farmer is with the dog gnawing land in the distance.

I couldn't bear it anymore, and spat out a mouthful of phlegm over there again.

I don't know how to farm melons!

Unexpectedly, just after spitting out this mouthful of phlegm, someone came to the dog-gnawing field, pointing, and I don't know what they were doing.

Although they couldn't hear what the other party was talking about, judging from their clothing and behavior, they knew that they were noble people that they could not afford to offend.

The old farmer shrank his neck, and then remembered that the two sides were far away, and the other party must not be able to see his small movements, let alone his expression.

So he turned his head with disdain and started weeding his field.

"Honggao, according to what Feng Duhu said, cotton will not bloom until July and August, but now it's only April, and it's barely sprouting. What can you see when you come here in such a hurry?"

The few nobles standing on the edge of the dog gnawed the ground, it was Wang Chen who rushed over from Bingzhou, and Guo Pei and others who were forcibly pulled over by him.

There are some followers behind the two of them.

Wang Chen was bending down to carefully observe the sprouts that had just emerged from the ground.

Guo Pei, on the other hand, was a little helpless, and persuaded:

"At this time, it will take at least three months until cotton blooms. What can you see at this time?"

Hearing Guo Pei's words, Wang Chen stood up straight and looked around at the wheat field covered with a green blanket:

"Zhongnan, I'm not here just for this matter."

Ornamental cotton?

In terms of ornamental value alone, no matter how beautiful the cotton is, it is not worth the person in charge of the Taiyuan Wang family to come here in person.

What he wants to appreciate is the beauty behind the cotton.

The beauty behind cotton does not lie in whether the cotton is open or not, but in how true everything said in the plan is.

The higher the authenticity, the more natural the cotton will be.

If Guiwang Feng set up a shocking scam, then no matter how beautiful the cotton is, it is a **** in his eyes-of course, this possibility is not high.

Although Ghost King Feng has a great reputation for being vicious, he has to say that his method of collecting money is comparable to Tao Zhugong.

No matter what the world's aristocratic families think of King Feng Gui.

But this person's coin-spreading persona design for a long time is recognized by everyone.

This is a golden signboard that cannot be harder.

"Not just for this matter?"

Guo Pei was taken aback.

Wang Chen didn't answer, but looked at the 30 acres of land in front of him, and said after a while:

"In Xuchang, I heard that Cao Shuang dismissed Fu Gu, the Minister of Officials at Shangshutai, and He Yan was appointed Minister of Officials and a servant."

Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, you can tell from the name that this is a position in charge of the promotion of officials.

Guo Huai is in Luoyang and belongs to Sima Yi.

Wang Ling is an important target of Cao Shuang's wooing.

The news from Xuchang, the Guo family is definitely not as well-informed as the Wang family.

"Fu Gu?"

Guo Pei only felt that the name was familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

Wang Chen didn't make a fool of himself, but directly pointed out the source: "Northern Fu family."

"Northern Fu family? It's him!"

Guo Pei subconsciously clicked.

The Fu family in the north originated from Fu Jiezi, the Marquis of Yiyang in the former Han Dynasty, and it has been almost three hundred years since then.

The representative of Fu's generation is precisely Fu Gu, who was already famous in the world when he was weak.

When Cao Shuang appointed his cronies to the central government, many honest people could not see what the Taichung Sangou did, and Fu Gu was one of them.

He once persuaded Cao Shuang's younger brother, Cao Xi, who was in charge of the imperial army's central leader:

"Uncle He Ping (that is, He Yan) looks calm and peaceful on the outside, but his heart is sinister and dark. He is also greedy for self-interest and does not act in a righteous way."

"In my opinion, he will first confuse your brothers and others, and then show his desires. At that time, wise men and benevolent people will stay away, and the government will be abolished!"

As Cao Shuang's younger brother, Cao Xi had long been worried about the various reckless actions of Cao Shuang and his cronies, so he persuaded him with Fu Gu's words.

Unexpectedly, this matter was learned by He Yan, who hated Fu Gu deeply.

In addition, Fu Gu was too upright, similar to Sun Li, Cao Shuang was also unhappy in his heart.

To this day, He Yan found an opportunity to speak out in front of Cao Shuang and dismiss Fu Gu directly.

At the same time, by the way, he succeeded Fu Gu as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and took the opportunity to take charge of the promotion of officials at the Shangshutai.

While the Wang family has news channels in Xuchang, it is impossible to know too much detail, only a rough idea.

But this outline is enough to arouse Wang Chen's vigilance.

After all, there is a lesson learned from the past.

Pei Qian was the Shang Shuling who was a Wei thief, and he absconded back.

And this Fu Gu is a famous scholar in Yongliang.

Not only did he come from the same Shangshutai as Pei Qian, but now he was dismissed from office by Cao Shuang. Who knows, will he follow suit and sneak back to Guanzhong?

No matter how Hedong and Taiyuan compete for cotton resources, it is still an internal matter of the Kanto family.

Anyway, the Kanto aristocratic family forces in Jihan are now Taiyuan and Hedong.

When it's time to divide up the benefits, both parties can sit down and talk slowly.

But those rich men in Yongliang and the Kanto family really can't pee in the same pot.

Especially Wang Chen, as a witness of the Chang'an military turmoil, he knows better than anyone else how big the gap is between Yongliang and Guandong.

If Fu Gu really absconded and returned to Guanzhong, with his reputation and Fu's resources, Yongliang's power within Ji Han would only expand further.

It's okay to say that Liangzhou has a wool workshop after all.

But Guanzhong and Bingzhou Hedong are both places where Ji Han was newly restored.

The powerful families in Guanzhong, will they turn a blind eye to such a large source of income as cotton and let the Guandong control it?

It is impossible to think about it.

That's why Wang Chen came here in such a hurry, just to find out Chang'an's true attitude and how he planned to divide this big meat pie.

Not to mention that since they have decided to increase their bets on the big man, Chang'an, as Ji Han's political center, has all the more reason for them to come here in person.

In Chang'an city.

In April, the Royal Academy ended its teaching on the last day of the month, and many students were pouring out of the academy gate.

The college will have a day off every ten days, so that students can find friends and go out to play.

Pei Xiu had a copy of "Solid Geometry" under her arm, and hurriedly walked towards her home.

It has been ten days since he saw the adults and his mother, and he misses him a little.

Pei Xiu felt that staying in Chang'an was much more comfortable than staying in his hometown in Hedong.

At least Grandma has her own independent courtyard, and even has a few servants to serve her, not to mention how someone dared to treat her like a servant girl in Hedong.

Unexpectedly, he only took a few steps away from the gate of the academy when he heard someone shouting behind him:

"Ji Yan!"

Pei Xiu heard someone calling her, stopped in her tracks, turned her head, and saw a young man who was not much different from her, speeding up her pace and coming towards her.

"Yuan Kai?" Pei Xiu saw who was coming, with a smile on her face, "Why are you here?"

The young gentleman called Yuan Kai, walked a few steps quickly, came to Pei Xiu, and said in his mouth:

"I know that today is the school's rest day, so I have been waiting for you here early."

His gaze was fixed on the book under Pei Xiu's armpit.

Seeing him like this, Pei Xiu smiled knowingly, took out the book, and handed it over: "Here."

Yuan Kai thanked, and couldn't wait to open it, but actually looked at it on the street.

Who would have thought that after watching for a while, his face first showed a thoughtful look, then a frown, and finally a sigh.

Closed the book with some reluctance, and reluctantly returned the book to Pei Xiu:

"The words in the book are really profound, and I can't understand them."

Pei Xiu seemed to have expected it, took the book, and smiled slightly:

"Don't say it's you, it's me. It's quite difficult to learn from the master of the academy."

Pei Xiu was able to write articles at the age of eight. She was famous in Hedong in her teens, and was known as a "backward leader". She is a rare child prodigy.

This kind of talent, coupled with the family background of Pei's family in Hedong, and the past two years of studying mathematics.

It is still difficult to learn and understand what is said in the book, which shows how difficult it is to learn.

Yuan Kai showed envy in his eyes:

"This kind of knowledge, in the past, was not a secret. Ji Yan was able to fall into the eyes of Feng Duhu, and he was very blessed."

Pei Xiu showed some embarrassment on her face:

"Yuan Kai has won the prize. In fact, you don't need to belittle yourself. July is the college's annual recruitment day. I believe Yuan Kai will definitely be able to enter the college to study."

Yuan Kai sighed:

"The imperial court just opened a new school in Chang'an this year, and it will take at least two years before you can enter the academy. If it's July this year, then you can only rely on recommendation, I'm afraid it will be difficult!"

Pei Xiu hesitated for a moment, then said:

"Mr. Du is also a well-known person in Jingzhao. If Yuan Kai can persuade Mr. Du to come forward, he may not have a chance."

Yuan Kai heard the words, but shook his head with a wry smile: "My lord... Sigh!"

When the great Han regained Hedong, the governor of Hedong was his own master.

At that time, the adults, together with the Diannong Zhonglang general of Anyi City, led the troops to guard Anyi in Hedong County and refused the Han army to enter the city.

After being forced by the general situation, he had to open the city gate and surrender.

But in that case, your lord felt guilty of dereliction of duty, and he was deeply ashamed that he had lost the trust of Emperor Wei Ping.

In addition, the adult's health has not been very good, so he refused to serve as an official in the big man, and returned to his hometown in Guanzhong to live in seclusion to recuperate.
