Chapter 303 Jian Yongjian's "Tuntian Policy"
When they left Zhuozhou, Liu Bei and others had first resettled more than 20,000 Yellow Turban refugees before leaving.
Before leaving, the detailed rules of the farming laws were summarized into the Seven Policies for Farming, with more than a thousand words written in them. A dozen large sheets of paper were left in the manor.
Jian Yong saw the field strategy left by Liu Bei the next day.
After reading it once, Jian Yong couldn't help but read it several times from beginning to end.
From selecting the site for farming, to how to divide the land, to how to bury the boundary bricks, and how to distribute the utensils to the farmers, there are notes on every detail.
After reading the entire article, Jian Yong had only one feeling, that is, after reading it once, it felt like he had experienced it himself.
Before watching it, Jian Yong didn't know how to farm. After watching it, Jian Yong felt that he could immediately lead tens of thousands of people to open up wasteland.
The utensils needed for farming are: a pottery urn for cooking porridge, a bowl, chopsticks, wheat straw, a ruler, a mold for making clay embryos, and a hoe. There are seven items in total, and none of them can be missing.
The pottery urn is used for both fetching water and cooking rice. When cooking, you can use the urn to cook, and when you go outside to fetch water, you can also carry the urn.
When making embryos from living mud, an urn is also used to carry water and live mud.
Wheat straw, wheat straw is very useful. The bed is made of wheat straw, the quilt is also covered with wheat straw, the rope to tie the pottery urn is still made of wheat straw, the firewood is made of wheat straw, and the clay embryo must be made, and crushed wheat straw must be placed in the clay embryo.
The land ruler was used when we first went to the farming site.
The molds for making embryos are left to the peasants for you to build your own embryonic houses.
The last one is the hoe. The hoe is used to clear wasteland and dig the land.
Jian Yong carefully considered these seven items one by one. He found that these seven items were really the minimum requirements for farming. Adding one more would be too much, and missing one would make it impossible to do the job.
Jian Yong was amazed.
I heard from Xiahou Zhuan that at that time, there were not enough pottery urns for farming, so ten large kilns were specially built. Hundreds of people started to burn the kilns, and hundreds more helped. They burned day and night, and it took more than ten days to finish the work.
Thousands of jars.
Jian Yong then went to see the pottery kiln. Jian Yong knew where there was a kiln near Zhuozhou City.
When Jian Yong arrived at the east end of the village, he was far away. Sure enough, he saw the pottery kiln surrounded by several pottery pits.
I came to the old pottery house. The old pottery house was building a new house with tiles. When he saw a visitor coming, the old pottery came up to him and asked if he was buying pottery.
Jian Yong smiled and shook his head, looking around. He saw small urns everywhere in the yard, under the tree roots, beside the well platform, and under the eaves in front of the door.
Jian Yong was curious, so he walked over and picked up the urn to look at it.
The urn is very shoddy and not even round. If it were put up for sale, no one would buy it.
The urn is very small, about the size of two palms, with a small mouth, a wide belly, and a height of two palms.
Jian Yong took the urn in his hand and weighed it twice, "This urn can make a meal, at most, enough for one person." The small urn was a little cute, and Jian Yong secretly laughed.
Jian Yong looked at the poorly made urn in his hand, which was half flat but not round, "[The urn is small, just enough for one person to eclipse the sun, and can save firewood, the best of both worlds]." He nodded with satisfaction, "Wonderful!"
Why is the urn made so small? What is the reason for making it so small? Jian Yong has seen the tuntian policy and knows it very clearly.
The key is that they are afraid that the food will be distributed unevenly in the field, so they distribute small jars and cook their own rice.
Yesterday I went to the farm to cook food, but I didn't notice what the urns used for cooking were like.
Now after reading the "Tun Tian Ce" and thinking about it, I suddenly realized that there are many ways to do "Tun Tian".
Take the piglets, chickens and ducks raised by the villagers as an example. They opened up wasteland at the beginning of this year and there is no food available. But by raising chickens and ducks, they can make some profits first.
After all, there is little land. One camper only has three acres of wasteland. If we cultivate it intensively, it will take more than a month to turn over the land. The rest of the time will be completely idle.
There are poultry and livestock to raise, and molds to build houses, so we can make use of the free time from this year to next autumn.
Jian Yong came not to buy a pottery urn, but to seek confirmation of what happened that day.
Talking about the grand opening of the kiln at that time, the old potter started vomiting.
According to an old potter, the most troublesome part of making pottery is kneading the embryo and collecting firewood. It takes ten days and a half to collect firewood to fire a kiln.
On that day, Liu Xuande sent hundreds of people over and brought carts of hardwood over.
Those who built the kiln were masons, and those who dug and worked the mud were all young and strong. Those who helped knead the pottery, most of whom were dozens of skilled potters selected from the refugees, how could they not be happy.
At this point, Jian Yong figured out how Liu Xuande collected more than 10,000 urns in ten and a half months.
Jian Yong asked if there was a baby who looked eight or nine years old when he came with Liu Bei.
The old potter suddenly laughed and said, "It's not like there's a doll coming along!"
"When he comes to buy pottery from me, I give him the biggest and best one, but he doesn't want it because he says it's too big and wants a small one.
I picked up the small one and he said it was big.
Do you think it’s weird if I just make it a little bigger than the size of a palm?”
I heard from Xiahou Zhuan that Liu Bei's military advisor was a child, and now I heard from the potter that he was also a child.
Now, Jian Yong was sure that Liu Xuande's military advisor was really a child.
You can't. If Xiahou Zhuan is making up lies, this old potter must be making up lies too.
Seeing that the old potter was still busy, Jian Yong didn't want to disturb him anymore, so he said sorry and left.
If he knew Liu Bei's marching route, Jian Yong would have wanted to catch up with him, but he didn't know that even Xiahou Zhuan didn't know where Liu Bei was.
Liu Xuande went to make great achievements, which would definitely be a great achievement. It would be a pity that he did not follow through.
Jian Yong was extremely helpless, so he had no choice but to stay in the manor and see if he could help Liu Bei take care of it.
While wandering around the manor, Jian Yong actually saw a place where he could insert his hands.
The manor was full, and all the people living there were women, children, the old and the weak. More than 10,000 young and old people went out to work in the fields. These old and weak women and children did not need to go out to work in the fields, but they had nothing to do. They gathered together and chatted for a long time, then went to the hotel.
Eat, then chatter after eating.
Jian Yong frowned and thought to himself, Liu Xuande has raised a lot of idle people.
If there is no land for planting, then we can do something else, including weaving?
Jian Yong discussed with Xiahou Zhuan and said that he should take all the money to buy a loom and put it in the manor so that the women could weave some cloth, so that they would have nothing to do.
Xiahou Zhuan was in trouble, and he did not dare to touch the treasury.
Jian Yong smiled when he saw Xia Houzhuan's worried look, "In this case, I will write you a voucher and you can take the money. When Liu Xuande comes back, I will take care of anything you have to do!"
After saying that, without waiting for Xiahou Zhuan to hesitate, Jian Yong went to get a pen and paper and wrote the voucher, and then took his finger to make fingerprints. He gave the voucher to Xiahou Zhuan. Jian Yong asked Xiahou Zhuan if he wanted to take the key, and went to write the money directly.
The library door is open.
Xiahou Zhuan had no choice but to collect the voucher and had no choice but to do as Jian Yong did.
Jian Yong is very smart. He is good at talking about people's interests and disadvantages. Naturally, he is also good at dispelling other people's concerns.
He took all the money from Zhang Fei's manor and asked Xiahou Zhuan to go out and buy as many looms as he could, and also buy some cooked hemp.
If the loom is not enough, then hire a carpenter to make it.
After leaving the matter of the loom to Xiahou Zhuan, Jian Yong went into the house and took out the field strategy left by Liu Bei.
The sentence at the end of "Tuntian Qi Ce" is, "I will record it again after I have more information."
