Chapter 16 The Ancestor's Power (2)
Chapter 16: Ancestors’ Power (2)
In the twelfth year of Chuzheng, January.
Jishui County.
A drop of cool raindrops came down, and the people who got off the boat were all shivered. Lai Tongyu looked at the increasingly fascinated sky and turned to Wang Shoutian and said, "Lord, it's going to rain. Good omen, spring rain is as precious as oil!"
Chai Jia and others were fine, and did not regard the spring rain as cold at all.
The group went down the road, and the rain made the road a little silted.
Even at the fifteenth day of the 15th, a large number of farmers have already come out, and not to mention the care of wheat, they are already digging the dredge with shovels.
Dying dredging canals is a big deal, but also a hard task. Men, women, young and old are dispatched together, and many officials and officials are in charge of the work.
There were many craftsmen working on the site and creating many wooden spokes, which seemed to be making water trucks.
On earth, waterwheels are very ancient agricultural irrigation tools. They appeared during the reign of Emperor Ling of Han and were promoted and used in Shu. They were widely used in agricultural irrigation during the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
Water trucks are not considered advanced technology, but due to cost reasons, they are not everywhere.
At this time, Xue Yuan greeted him: "Master!"
After looking at it, he was covered in mud, and it seemed that he was using his own hands to operate and command.
"Mr. Xue, thank you for your hard work, how is the situation?"
"Don't worry, the canal has been dug, and the climate in Shuzhong is mild, so it would not be hindered. The water truck is already being built. According to the lord's wishes, the big water truck is built. The car is 10 meters high and 24 wooden spokes. A car is not stopped day and night, and it can irrigate 300 acres." Xue Yuan said.
Wang Shoutian looked at it and saw a scraper and a water bucket at the top of each spoke. When the time was completed, the scraper would wipe water, and the water bucket would be filled with water. The river water would rush, and the water truck would slowly turn slowly with the water tank. The water buckets would be filled with river water and were lifted up step by step. At the top, the water bucket would naturally tilt, injecting the water into the ferry and flowing into the irrigated farmland.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Xue, I will introduce you to you. This is Lai Tongyu. I will share your worries. You can do the specific work!" Wang Shoutian said.
Lai Tongyu did not dare to neglect and went forward to salute: "Mr. Xue."
Xue Yuan also returned the favor.
When the two of them looked at each other, the atmosphere was a little strange, and Wang Shoutian ignored it. It was a day sooner or later, and it was obvious that Xue Yuan's ability and Lai Tongyu were the man.
Wang Shoutian took several people to walk, looking at the channels and farmland, and after a long time, he said: "The people are restless. Only when the fields are settled can they have the hearts of the people and the supply of money and grain. Mr. Xue, what are your regulations?"
"Lord, I inspected the site. I can cultivate 30,000 mu of fertile soil outside the county, and keep 10,000 mu of them in the hands of the lord for rewards. The others are a little poor, but they can also open 10,000 mu. If 30,000 mu is given to thousands of households, it is appropriate, and of course there will be an increase or decrease in specific situations."
"I think that even the people will divide them into two groups. Originally, 500 households were built and reclaimed, and they all worked hard to divide them into 30 acres of land and 200 new households. To participate, they could divide them into 25 acres. If the lord uses troops to take the mountain people down the mountain, these mountain people will have no achievements and can divide them into 20 acres."
"As for military merits and rewards, I am not able to interfere. Please ask the lord to dictate him." Xue Yuan said.
Wang Shoutian looked at it and said, "Mr. Xue's words are very good."
Although Xue Yuan’s words are very good, they also imply the seat shifts that come first and then arrive. But who can’t be selfish? Besides, it is also conducive to the establishment of order, and Wang Shoutian didn’t mind.
"The land is the foundation, and the real land is distributed according to households. This is a major policy, not an ordinary and detailed task. In the future, it will be compiled into a booklet and reported to you. You two must be careful."
Xue Yuan and Lai Tongyu hurriedly bowed to respond to the "promise".
"The military will be used next month, so you don't have to worry about not having enough food. The grain among the bandits can be supplied for at least one year." Wang Shoutian said calmly: "But ICBC's material bank must also be verified and reported to me!"
There are three generals who can capture cities and land, and the soldiers have undergone strict training. If they cannot even defeat mere bandits, this is really ridiculous.
Chai Jia and others followed, and they couldn't get into these topics and were not qualified to interrupt, but their eyes were different.
When we first met, Wang Shoutian only had several personal soldiers, but he didn't think that when he arrived in Jishui County, he saw tens of thousands of acres of land and thousands of people working. He was talking about the right way to govern the people, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed.
"It's fifteenth today!" Wang Shoutian said suddenly.
“Yes, it’s fifteen.”
Wang Shoutian stared at the vast fields, then looked at the mountains in the distance, and smiled over and said, "I feel relieved if I have two gentlemen here. When I harvested wheat in May, I divided the fields according to households. This foundation will be determined. Everyone present is my confidant ministers, and I said directly - the general has already promised me that after the harvest in May, if there are thousands of households, I will officially establish a county. I will be the first county magistrate, and I will be the seventh rank."
"Take this, you can get the first place to get the first place and you will have a lot of hard work."
"I dare not, it's all the lord Hongfu."
Wang Shoutian smiled slightly, and after collecting the grain and dividing the fields, the people's hearts were completely stabilized and his luck also made a breakthrough. Li Chengye was protected by the land dragon and was lucky enough to do so, but he had to start from scratch.
If it is a peaceful era, it is extremely difficult to catch up with such nobles of Tianhuang. Now it is a chaotic era and the order is destroyed. As long as you control the military and civilians, you will be able to belong to the ranks and downs, who will rise and fall, and who will rise and fall again.
Moreover, Wang Shoutian also had a purpose this time, which is to recruit people with great energy and gather more than a thousand households. When he saw that, could he rely on the power of everyone to break through, or would he have to kill people with higher destiny to replace him.
This determines the steps and methods later.
Wang Shoutian nodded and said, "All these things are left to you. Chai Jia, you and I will enter the city and enter the military camp. I will organize the people you brought into a fire. You can practice and learn military discipline. Next month we will use troops to the mountains."
"No!" Chai Jia responded.
Chai Jia was born with courage and learned martial arts from the middle school in the village. He learned from one example and learned from others. He usually hunted and obtained meat. He was brave and was beyond the reach of more than a dozen people in the village. Only in this way can he be respected by the villagers and gathered a group of little brothers.
As a fire chief, I can only say that the officer started, but he was full of confidence. As long as he killed the bandits, he would naturally be promoted.
Kaiming County.
In the evening, the Li Mansion was already full of guests.
The group of people had arrived at the Li Mansion with a carriage and a dowry of maids.
Li Chengye and Wang Jieting, one left and one right, tied together with a phoenix belt. They walked into Li's mansion amid the singing of the praises, went straight into the main hall, and paid homage to their parents.
"Word the heaven and earth!" Heaven and earth were born and nurtured, so I worshiped it first.
"Two worship the high hall!" Kneel down to worship your parents, this is the entry ceremony.
"Honey husband and wife!"
After the three rituals, there is also a ritual of sharing the same ritual, which means drinking one meal together, and the couple's energy is connected.
When the ceremony was completed, the bride returned to the room, but the groom wanted to raise her glass to drink and a seat passed by.
County Magistrate Li Cunyi was very happy. At this wedding, the general gave 20 hectares of land (2,000 acres of land) to show the principle of favor. Moreover, Wang Jieting had a beautiful appearance and dignified manner, but he was a good match for his son.
Tian Ji also gave a hundred taels of silver this time, which was very high in the gift, so he occupied the seat and Qianlong came up to toast. He couldn't help but be overjoyed and raised his glass to drink it all.
If Wang Shoutian was in it, he would have seen it. After the ceremony, a purple air penetrated from Wang Jieting and injected into Li Chengye's top.
This purple air seemed to be a key. I don’t know what secrets were opened. I saw clouds gushing out from Li Chengye’s bloodline, like boiling water, or like a spring opening.
On the top of Li Chengye, his energy was first white, gathered but not dispersed, and initially it looked like clouds and smoke.
In a short time, it turned white and turned red again, as if it was a rushing stream. Finally, it changed again. The air rushed out and gradually rose, like a banner.
In ancient army, the military flag used for generals as commanders, had the meaning of being reduced and commanding, and was also a king's ritual and guardian object, which shows its meaning.
Gradually, the aura of the banners spit out a golden color.
At first glance, in just half an hour, there were banners hanging on Li Chengye's roof, and auspicious energy covered his whole body.
Although Tian Ji could not clearly view his luck, he also had a way. After toasting, he aimed at Li Chengye and sat upright with his eyes narrowed. After a moment, he felt a rising cloud and mist. He looked at the tangible at a rough look, and looked at nothing at a close look. It seemed to be there from a distance, but there was nothing at a close. After a moment, he smelled the fragrance of his nose, which made people feel relaxed and refreshed, and his eyes were golden.
He was overjoyed and thought to himself: "The real person's instructions are indeed true. Before the Qianlong was released, it was just a general fate, so it was difficult to measure and was not valued, so it would not be taken seriously, so as not to die halfway."
"Now that we have been married, our ancestors have shown their power, and we can protect them. If the dragon is full of energy and has produced great auspicious energy, it will surely be rich and prosperous for a long time."
"Although the energy has been completed, it will take some time to build a tool, but for a short time, three years or five years later, it will become a big tool, and then it will be unfavorable."
"As long as this person seizes Shu, obtains the energy of millions of soldiers and civilians in the three states of Shu, forms the three patterns of heaven, earth and man and becomes king, we can use his luck to not only make up for the immortal karma of the real person being cut off, but also re-enter the immortal class, but also accumulates the energy and fortune in the master's corpus, so as to prepare for the continuous blessings of the Taoist corpus and the continuous inheritance, and the Dharma is capable of the Dharma!"
"As for whether the King of Shu can compete for the world and wait for the real person to recover his immortal karma, we can naturally give us some advice. At that time, whether to retreat or rush forward, it will be decided by the real person."
Thinking of this, Tian Ji couldn't help but feel happy, and raised his glass to drink again, and he stopped drunk.
At this time, among the guests, Yu Liangboxiao and Xiao Shaode were each in their seats. Of course, they could not see the anger, but they could also feel that Li Chengye in front of him had a face like a jade, his eyes like stars, and his every move was deep, which made people feel heartbroken.
Both of them felt this demeanor, and they both thoughtfully, raising their glasses and drinking slowly.
It was late at night that the guests finally dispersed. Only then did Li Chengye return to the room, and the maid and maid were waiting outside, leading the groom in.
Maybe it was because the sky was beautiful, but at this late night, the clouds and the fog dissipated, the galaxy was shining, and the moonlight was bright.
When he arrived at the wedding room, he saw a high fever of red candles and the layout was gorgeous. Wang Jieting sat in front of the small case and did not move. Li Chengye stepped forward and pulled the hood away.
"Madam!"
"Husband!"
Chapter completed!
