Of course, you can’t eat all the staple food, you also have to eat fruits and poultry.

The rice, flower, fish, and carp in the fields are full of harvest every year. They are endless and sold in large quantities. Every household raises chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep, as well as sausages and meat sauce from the grassland. Every household builds warehouses to store the store. Even if the population is million, they don’t have to worry about food and clothing, and there is enough leftovers.

What's more, with the benefits of the big lake, it will be able to turn into paddy fields, and the yield per mu will never be worse than that of Liu Bei's family's 100 acres of beautiful fields.

If the yield per mu is eight stones, you can obtain 24 million stones of rice.

"Hu——" Liu Bei breathed a long sigh.

Calm.

There are only tens of thousands of citizens in Linxiang. Not to mention a million, there are not even a hundred thousand people.

The manpower was not enough to open up so many fertile fields. Besides, I couldn't eat a fat man in one bite. I wrote this to Liu Huan, the governor of Jiujiang County, and the magistrate of Tao County in Lujiang County. I asked them to recruit the people of Huai and Si, the barbarians and mountain people on their behalf and moved to Linxiang.

He went to Xin County again to prepare to accommodate refugees from Qingji Prefectures.

The Qingji Prefectures have been full of disasters and many refugees. Especially the Beihai earthquake and the Huangxian tsunami before the New Year. The people of Qingzhou are displaced. They go north and south, and take boats across the sea to seek refuge in Liaodong. There are also many refugees. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there were millions of refugees in Youzhou. This shows the tragic natural disasters and man-made disasters.

Liu Bei has always been alert to Qingji refugees stranded in Youzhou. The reason is very simple. These two states are the hardest hit areas of Taiping Road. If there are people from Taiping Road who sneak into the refugees and wait for an opportunity to turn back, wouldn't it be a big deal?

As the saying goes, it is difficult to guard against the thieves of family. In addition, the attacks of bandits a few years ago, Liu Bei has always been very alert to the Qingji refugees. He was afraid that there would be peace among his own people and that the people would be confused. Now, the reason why he is not afraid is that Liu Bei, who has experienced the south to quell the chaos, found that no one would want to rebel if he could eat and wear a good meal. He rebelled with his head, just wanted to have a full meal. It has been the same in all dynasties.

Lousang used to be narrow and could not gather many refugees. Now, the area of ​​the capital was a hundred miles, so there was enough fertile land to support them.

Liu Bei once said: I am a hundred miles away and can live more than 200,000 people.

Now it seems that it is far beyond this number.

The prospects are very good. But things have to be completed step by step.

The dry land and water siege between Litinggou and Dukanggou were all surrounded and silted and turned into fertile land. Liu Bei took out 4,000 acres of paddy fields near Lousang and assigned them to the names of four great scholars of the school. He also said that all the land and a mu belong to the school. If a poor family came to study and there were not enough interns in the town, each person could be divided into ten acres of land to farm for their food, clothing and food. During the farming period, no land tax was collected. When the school was completed and returned to his hometown and went to the place of officialdom, he would take the land and redeem the acres of the school and then share it with others as appropriate.

After hearing this, Chen Bi and other great scholars stood up and gave Liu Bei a great gift.

How dare Liu Bei accept it? He avoided it sideways, and hurriedly stepped forward to help the great scholars up.

The teacher was very pleased to think of poor students. As the teacher said before, wealthy families and poor families are all people. The way to be a king is to be able to have noble children in poor families. Lou Sang’s academic circle is full of literary style. The three Beihai Yilong, who are the best, are all children of poor families.

I heard that Liu Bei was preparing to give each of his disciples ten acres of fertile land. Gongsun Zan and Tian Hua also came to ask for it.

The teacher asked: You two are from a wealthy family, why not concentrate on your studies?

Unexpectedly, the two of them were rumored: We are also Lou Sang students, why can’t we farm?

The teacher nodded: You must cultivate well and do not let the fertile fields be deserted.

The mentor naturally understood what the two were thinking.

After all, the school is a school.

It is very different from the outside world of flowers. What is compared here is not family background, but morality and knowledge. The Beihai Yilong can be admired by students because of his talent and noble character. Gongsun Zan and Tian Huazong's family wealth are rich, and their reputation in the academic world is far less than that of Beihai Yilong, which is a clear proof.

Starting from the North Sea, farming has now become a new trend in the school world. How can the two of them be content with their descendants?

The four thousand acres of fertile land in the hands of the four great scholars were divided up soon. Thinking about it, it was just given to 400 students. Most of the students in the school were not divided.

The scene of a group of students in Confucian uniforms and robes going to the fields to work together with farmers with high trousers, probably only in Lou Sang.

Especially the rich young master wearing brocade robes. The harvest of a mu of land is probably not as expensive as the robes on his body.

When someone asked, the tall young master grinned his teeth and said, "Young Master Hou Bei, is my close friend. He is the best farming in the north, and he is the only one! As his close friend, I, Mr. Zan, wouldn't I beg for the descendants of others?"

It's reasonable...

Classmates and friends who did not divide the fields all came to help. The school even took "farming holidays" according to the season of rice. Menstrual holidays (such as winter solstice, summer solstice), holidays, farming holidays, and winter and summer vacations, thus becoming a fixed holiday for Lousang Academy.

The seedlings are transported by boats and the transplanting of rice begins. The students are talented and can learn it once.

There are especially many students who help plant rice seedlings with Yilong in Beihai. They are horizontal and vertical, and even experienced old farmers can't help but give thumbs up.

After planting the seedlings, Guan Ning invited all his classmates to the winery for a drink.

Everyone knows that he doesn't have money to drink. The classmates cheered and rushed back to the dormitory to take a bath and change clothes, but left the master behind.

Hua Xin showed worries: You'an, Shaojunhou only said that we don't have to pay for drinking, and now we have brought so many classmates to...

After hearing what he said, Bingyuan was also a little worried: Yes, You'an. If... we'll make up enough money for wine before going there.

Guan Ning nodded: OK.

Seeing Guan Ning nodding, Binghara felt relieved. Hua Xin looked sad and thought about how much he had to raise to pay for the wine.

After the three of them packed up their farm tools and drove the ox cart back. Most of the classmates had already left.

I arrived hurriedly and a restaurant was greeted by the house. I went to the private room named "Songtao" on the third floor and opened the door to see it. All musicians, dancers, and good women were all there. The beard dancers danced gracefully in the field, and all the classmates and friends were happy.

The head of the wine house came to inform him that this banquet was arranged by the young lord.

Guan Ning hurriedly thanked Hua Xin even more happily. This led to two close friends coming into the house.

All the friends stood up and pushed the three of them to the master seat. Guan Ning said that he was delayed from school late, but was forced to the master seat by everyone. Everyone said: If you are the boss today, you should be the leader!

The name of the Dragon in Beihai is well-known.

The Hu girl in the mansion also heard of it. The dance was extremely elegant, but it was not so vulgar. The students watched it cheered and the atmosphere was warm.

Famous scholars are romantic. How can they practice erotic music and dance? The art of being a poor person?

Lousang and Licheng were ten miles apart. It was quite inconvenient to travel. Seeing that mules, horses and carts in the city were very popular, Liu Bei wanted to lay tracks between the two cities. After he calculated, he was really unable to bear it. The materials were not counted, and labor was also difficult. In the past, he spent all the stored ore and steel ingots to forge the Lousangyi middle rail road. Now, he can only find a way from the waterway connecting Lousang and Licheng.

How can you make a quick trip, turn around without occupying the river channel, and affecting the merchant ships?

Therefore, the design artwork of the wheel boat was quickly drawn by Shao Junhou.

The wheel boat converts the man-propelled paddles into the paddles. The wheel boat can move forward and retreat freely, and improve the maneuverability of the boat. The first one is Zu Chongzhi. "The Book of Southern Qi: Biography of Zu Chongzhi" records that Zu Chongzhi built a thousand-mile ship "tested it on the Xinting River, traveling more than a hundred miles a day." "It is not transported by the Feng Shui, and the machine is used to transport it." Therefore, the ship is equipped with a foot-step paddle wheel, which is greatly improved compared to the wooden paddle boat, so it is called a Thousand-mile ship.

It is especially suitable for flexible travel and transportation of materials in narrow waterways.
