The Three Kingdoms started from fooling Jia Xu

Chapter 44 Harvest Unwanted Hairy Crabs



Chapter 44 Harvest Unwanted Hairy Crabs

The next day, Xinye City.

Just after dawn, the city began to stir up. This day is a big day for the people, because after a hundred days of busy work, it is finally time to collect grain.

The grain harvest this time is different from previous years. This time Zhang Xiu promised to give them half of the output, which is unheard of, and the polder field promoted by Zhang Xiu this year has achieved very good results.

Looking at the growth of rice in the polder, it is very gratifying. I am afraid that this year there will be a bumper harvest. If there is food, their wives and children will not have to go hungry, and these are all given to them by Zhang Xiu.

With the sound of a gong, which represented the lifting of the curfew, countless people filed out, carrying various agricultural tools, and headed straight to the banks of the Fei River.

for a while,

On the banks of the Lishui River,

Following Zhang Xiu's order, countless people began to rush to harvest their own rice, and even some children rushed to help.

In the field, those peasants blushed and sweated profusely, but they didn't feel tired at all. They were all smiling, especially seeing the gratifying growth of rice in the field, which made them unable to stop their smiles.

"Old Litou, the rice in your family grows really well. It is estimated that one mu of land can produce two or three dendrobiums of grain, right? I remember that your family has planted 20 mu of land, which can be divided into more than [-] dendrobium grains, right?"

"This year is a good year, and the polder method promoted by Duke Ming has increased production a lot, and we are not afraid of flooding. It is estimated that one mu of land can produce three or four dendrobiums, which is much higher than ordinary good fields."

"Three or four dendrobiums? So much out of the valley?"

"Hey, isn't your family planting dozens of acres of land?

The hard days have finally come to an end, and I have dozens of extra grains to sell for money during the Chinese New Year, add two clothes for women and children, and buy a few pieces of fat for the children to satisfy their hunger. "

among countless fields,
The people are radiant, and each has hope.

When chatting, they all admire and admire Zhang Xiu, and there is no disrespect to the children's education.They don't know the emperor or the family, they only know that Zhang Xiu treats them kindly.

They support Zhang Xiu, and they are willing to send their children to the military camp to follow General Zhang Xiu to make contributions and defend their family and country.

Because Zhang Xiu said something to them, there is a country and a family!

They told their children, although they were worried that their children would die in battle, but they said the same sentence to their children!

"The shrouded body of horse leather is proud, and the enemy chases the house in front of the battle."

At this time, by the water.

Jia Xu strode forward and said excitedly: "My lord, I am overjoyed, I am overjoyed, the rice harvest is bumper!"

"How much grain per mu?"

"Returning to my lord, the yield of these rice grains is about six dendrobium grains per mu, and there are more than five dendrobium grains in the sun. After removing the hulls, there should be four dendrobium grains left, which is more than twice that of ordinary fertile fields. It is really a bumper harvest!"

Jia Xu was very excited, this polder method was indeed extraordinary, and after this time, Nanyang would no longer be short of food.

"Twice?"

Zhang Xiu thought about it in his mind, four dendrobiums were about 480 catties of rice, which was indeed a lot in the era when two or three dendrobiums were produced per mu at the end of the Han Dynasty. After harvesting the thousand hectares of fertile land, Nanyang would not be weaker than Jingxiang.

"Let the villagers work harder, and try to harvest all the rice within ten days, dry it and pack it into bags."

"No," Jia Xu stepped back.

On the same day, the official grain collection standard came out, and the collection was uniformly based on the output of four dendrobium grains per mu.

The common people were also very happy when they heard about it. Each of their families has dozens of acres of land, and they can exchange money to buy some vegetable oil to satisfy their hunger.

…………

just seven days,

Zhang Xiu obviously underestimated the tenacity of this group of people. They hardly stopped working for seven days in a row, working harder than Ya's harvester.

Next is the sun-drying. They have prepared the sun-drying field a long time ago. They are all made of stone rollers pulled by old buffaloes, which are extremely hard.

It won't be long before the treasuries of various places in Xinye will be filled, and there is no need to rush to live.

And at this time, at the polder.

Zhang Xiu walked around along the field ridge, his eyes were a little excited, he saw many crab holes, some eel holes, many, many, and even some tyrants showing their heads arrogantly.

This is another benefit of the polder. You can catch fish, turtles and crabs, which are quite a lot.It’s just that it was more difficult to catch fish in ancient times, especially in deep water.

The polders are well-arranged and can be drained or diverted. Now that the rice has been harvested, drainage is the best way to catch fish, and September is the time when fish, shrimp and crabs are at their most plump.

With an order, the bamboo weaves were blocked in each water outlet, and the water was slowly released from the height to the bottom.

As the water level in each polder falls, the onlookers comment.There are quite a lot of fish and shrimp in the ditch, and each of them has a dark yellow back.

As for those big crabs, they are even more arrogant, running around, each one is as big as a fist, and extremely fat.

What puzzled Zhang Xiu was that these people didn't react too much when they saw the fish, shrimps and crabs in the ditch, especially those big crabs, which were far less excited than seeing the food.

Is it true that the joke I read on the Internet, in the early years of famine, some people ate hairy crabs to satisfy their hunger, and survived the famine with great reluctance?What a luxury!

"Hu'er, hurry up, go and catch all these crabs for me, as well as bastards, don't worry about them, I'll catch all the moving ones in them, and feed them slowly."

Zhang Xiu twitched the corner of his mouth, it's a pity that no one eats this good food.

Of course, it’s not that the common people don’t want to eat fish. In fact, fish must have oil and salt to be delicious. However, oil and salt are very expensive, how can ordinary people afford it?

But eating fish without oil and salt, the earthy smell is too strong, and they seldom eat it when there is food.

"My lord, what do you want these crab shells for? These crab shells have no oil, water, or meat. They don't taste good at all." Hu Che'er pouted, as if he had eaten them.

Zhang Xiu: "???"

Alas, no one eats the hairy crabs that are sold only in later generations, it's sad!As for the rice weighed by the catty, this group of people eat it so vigorously, is there any reason in this world?
"There's so much nonsense, you'll be fooled if you catch it."

Hu Che'er scratched his head, and led a group of personal guards into the water to get busy. At this time, there were really a lot of fish, turtles and crabs. It didn't take long for three or four barrels of hairy crabs to be delivered to Zhang Xiu.

As for the bastards, each one is as big as the handicap, and they are all wild, at least hundreds of them in future generations, but they are all counted by wooden barrels.

All kinds of wild crucian carp weighed a lot, and there were quite a few other grass carp and carp, etc. Looking at Zhang Xiu, he was dazzled and kept calling Hu Che'er.

As for those river prawns, they were all four or five inches long, frantically jumping around on the aquatic plants, Zhang Xiu felt itchy in his heart.

This made Hu Che'er very busy.

It's catching turtles, touching crabs, and picking up some dried shrimps from time to time, which is helpless.

He couldn't figure out why the always shrewd protagonist suddenly lost his mind!

As the sun sets in the west, inside Zhang's mansion,

Zhang Xiu began to enjoy the food in the backyard.

At this time, Jia Xu strode over, but kept his courtesy and said: "General Hu, Xu has something to report to my lord, please let me know."

"Shhhhhhh, military advisor, my lord is out of his mind!"
