  Chapter 753 Values ​​farming

  Early the next morning, the gates of the city were opened, and the people in the city went out of the city.

  By the time the sun rose, people were already standing on the edge of the field. When Zhao Hanzhang brought the officials of Chen County over, all the places were crowded except for the space left in the middle of the road for the carriage to pass by.

   And in such a crowded place, there are even vendors carrying burdens and peddling among them.

   Looking at the crowd, Zhao Ming was very happy. There was a smile on his usually serious face. This was all for Sanniang, which meant that her prestige was getting stronger and stronger. This is a good thing.

  Zhao Hanzhang was also very happy. Looking at these people, he thought to himself: This is all people and money.

  Zhao Hanzhang had a smile on his face, and the people on both sides of the road felt happy when they saw it, and they all excitedly bowed their hands to her, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, look at me, I'm from Qianjia Village, and I'm right next door..."

   "My lord, I am from Xiping, and we are fellow villagers!"

   "Inspector Zhao, I'm from Jizhou, who specializes in selling your glass..."

  Zhao Hanzhang raised his hand to greet them, and the crowd became more and more excited. After handcuffing, he felt that Zhao Hanzhang could not see, so he waved his hand, hoping that she could look at them more.

There was a crowd of people, a little girl with a big basket was pushed forward, the soldiers standing guard on both sides of the road slowed down for a moment, and she fell out just like that, right in front of Zhao Hanzhang's horseshoe .

Zhao Hanzhang's horse is a war horse, and she has been paying attention. As soon as the person fell out, she pulled the rein, the horse stopped, and just looked down lazily at the person who fell in front of it, then raised it in boredom, and hummed With a sound.

As soon as the crowd fell silent, they were a little frightened. Immediately, a soldier stepped forward and grabbed the little girl's arm and was about to drag her back. Zhao Hanzhang raised his hand to stop their movements, looked at the pale little girl, and asked with a smile, "Is it hurt?" leg?"

   "No, no." The little girl immediately got up from the ground, because she stepped on her skirt and tripped, the sackcloth covering the basket tilted, and two cakes fell out from it.

  The little girl picked up the pancakes in a hurry, almost crying.

   Zhao Hanzhang saw that her eyes and face were flushed, so he leaned over and asked with a smile, "Is this pancake for sale? Is it delicious? How much is it?"

  The little girl subconsciously passed up the pancake in her hand, "Two pennies, it's delicious, would you like to try it?"

"Okay." Zhao Hanzhang took it immediately, and saw that some dirt was still on the cake, she didn't mind, she patted it and took a big bite. The cake was baked with chopped green onion, and it was dry, crunchy and very delicious ,

  She nodded approvingly, took out two new coins from her purse and gave them to her, "It's really delicious,"

  The little girl didn't take the money, she backed away repeatedly and refused.

Zhao Hanzhang smiled and threw the money into her basket, just right on the linen, without dirtying her remaining pancakes, "Take it, the Zhao family army has military discipline, and you are not allowed to take the needles and threads of the common people, you can't let me take the lead Breaking the rules."

  The little girl held the two new coins tightly and did not let them go.

  The soldier also became more gentle, and asked her to step aside.

  The little girl bowed her knees and bowed to Zhao Hanzhang, and quickly retreated to the side of the road. Everyone also quickly made room for her, and then stared at Zhao Hanzhang even more excitedly.

Their hearts were surging, although they were not the ones talking to Zhao Hanzhang, nor were they the ones who got the two coins, but they were just like the little girl, a surge of enthusiasm suddenly surged in their hearts, and they were full of energy, and everyone was excited. He waved to Zhao Hanzhang and watched her go away with piercing eyes.

  Arrived at the edge of the field, Zhao Hanzhang got off his horse, and Li Zheng and the officials who had been waiting a step earlier came up immediately, "Master, the altar has been set up."

  Zhao Hanzhang nodded slightly, first burned incense to worship and pray for blessings, and then took out the sacrificial oration written by Zhao Ming to her and recited it. This is to pray for the mountains, rivers and land, and pray for good weather.

  She knows that the weather this year is not good, and she only hopes that the heavens will take pity on the common people, that the weather will not be as bad as it is written in history, and that natural disasters will not be so huge, so that more creatures will have a chance to survive.

   Zhao Hanzhang knelt down after reading the sacrificial oration and burned it in public, especially piously.

  From a scientific point of view, it is possible that she and Fu Tinghan came to this world due to energy conservation, and there are no ghosts and gods in this world; but from a metaphysical point of view, everything is possible.

  But whether there is or not, she sincerely prays to heaven, hoping that natural disasters will be less, the world will be smooth and the weather will be smooth, and the creatures will prosper.

  As soon as Zhao Hanzhang knelt down, the people around him also knelt down and prayed together.

  However, there are many wishes they made. Most of them, like Zhao Hanzhang, prayed for good weather and abundant crops this year;

  Zhao Hanzhang bowed his head respectfully, stood up and rolled up his sleeves. Zhao Ming, who hadn't done anything yesterday, also started today, and helped her set up the plow together with Fu Tinghan.

   Then Zhao Ming, the county guard, led the oxen in front, and Zhao Hanzhang held the plow behind, and plowed a piece of land in public.

  Zhao Hanzhang also asked the officials of the Sheriff's Mansion and her subordinates of the Governor's Mansion to carry hoes together to break up soil clods, pull weeds, and level the land.

  Zhao Hanzhang said: "Food is the most important thing for the people, so food is the foundation. Spring plowing and summer harvest are the most important. You must cooperate with the people to do a good job in spring plowing, and you must not slack off."

   Zhao Ming took the lead and responded respectfully.

  Zhao Hanzhang also said a few important precautions during spring plowing. For example, officers and soldiers are not allowed to occupy civilian fields, and all counties, villages, and villages must do a good job in seed distribution, and do their best to provide the people with cattle, farm tools, etc.;

   Do a good job of watering and be alert to disputes caused by water disputes;

  Regardless of seniority or inferiority, young crops are not allowed to be trampled on. Anyone who knowingly violates the law and intentionally destroys young crops will be severely punished.

  The plowing this time let the people of Yuzhou know Zhao Hanzhang's emphasis on farming, and the officials of the Governor's Mansion and the Sheriff's Mansion were all driven by her to work in the fields themselves.

  Actually, if she was the only one who advocated this, an official from a noble family like Yu Sima would not want to follow, but Zhao Ming also followed suit.

  Zhao Hanzhang went to the army, went to the fields with the soldiers, occasionally went to the fields to inspect, and helped a group of farmers who were working in the fields from time to time;

   Zhao Ming rakes in his own field after work. He handles government affairs very quickly, and he spends half a day in the field every day.

  Being effective from top to bottom, Yu Sima and others can only go down to the fields, but they all plant their own official fields based on the principle of not letting the rich water flow into other people's fields.

  After planting and planting, they really found many problems, for example, "The distance between the rakes is too large, and weeds are always leaking, and they need to be tighter."

  So the counties in Yuzhou began to allocate funds to improve rakes.

   Another example, "I asked the people from Sinong Temple, and they said that after the field is harrowed, it is best to fertilize the field before transplanting, so that the seedlings will be stronger and the harvest will be better."

   So Chen County built a dozen new latrines, and this trend has spread to other counties. There are also several methods of fertilizing in Si Nong Temple. Although the officials look disgusted, they still ask their families to follow suit.

   There was news from the governor's mansion that whoever could grow good grain and get a good harvest would be promoted to a noble by the governor.

   They don't count on becoming a noble, but they can fight for it.
