Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 114 Disagreement
Bai Gong invented a new plow, which was several times more efficient than before. It could also use a single ox or a double ox.

Bai Gong made the oxen easier to tame and the buffaloes to plow the fields...

Bai Gong can help everyone harvest [-]% more food...

Each county of Baizhou Muling has official cattle leases, which can be used to deduct the next year's grain tax...

The Baizhou Ministry of Animal Husbandry, Life and Civil Affairs coordinated with all counties to distribute samples of Baigongli to every ten households, and ordered officials to assist in the promotion...

Baizhou herdsmen exempted and exempted some taxes on land reclamation...

A series of news spread in Jiangdong, Yangzhou, and the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty!

As for Xu Gong vomiting blood and falling to the ground in the middle hall of Bai Tu that day, it's not even gossip. At most, people who have a grudge against the Xu family heard about it and took the opportunity to spit.

Someone who has friendship with the Xu family and has been favored by the Xu family?

That can’t be blamed on Mr. Bai!
At least on the surface, no one dared to say that Baigong persecuted and oppressed the Xu family. Not only did no one support him among the gentry, but also among the people... whoever dared to say so, was afraid that he would be tied to the Shennong Temple and burned to death.

The per capita number of buffaloes in Jiangdong is far less than the number of cattle in the Central Plains. After all, buffaloes could not be used as livestock power to assist in farming before.

After the sudden rise of Bai Gonghuan, the price of cattle in Jiangdong quickly surpassed that of the Central Plains region - after all, buffaloes were half the size of cattle and had stronger natural strength, and there was also the factor of scarcity and premium.

Fortunately, Bai Tu had already prepared the official cattle for the common people to rent. At the same time, Bai Tu personally took charge of the staff and regarded the feeding and leasing of the official cattle as the main assessment indicators.

Whoever dares to let Guan Niu die in an unclear way will be allowed to die in an obvious way...

It is said that in many places in Jiangdong, people began to send the statue of Bai Tu to the Shennong Temple to accompany Shennong.

Even in the future, when word of Bai Gongli spreads, even if people are not in Jiangdong, I am afraid that Bai Tu will also be grateful...

If the previous papermaking and the Four Books of Elementary School helped poor families, then the current Bai Gongli helped people all over the world!
Not to mention ordinary people, Jiangdong's aristocratic and wealthy families were even more tied to the chariot at this time. Under Lu Kang's activities, many aristocratic families had placed bets on Bai Tu. In addition to being optimistic about Bai Tu's strength, In addition to the potential, it is also because of the effect of the "Enlightenment Grandmaster" - after all, when one's own children are enlightened, they will also be benefited by Bai Tu, whether far or near, and there will be an additional layer of relationship similar to that of teacher and student.

Now that Bai Tu has directly increased the food production under his rule by [-]%, he is even more comparable to the ancestors and saints who stepped out of mythology.

Even Cao Cao, who was very prejudiced against Bai Tu and wary of him in every possible way, did not dare to suppress Bai Tu's reward.

Soon the news reached Yangzhou. In addition to Yangzhou Mu, Bai Tu was given the post of "Da Si Nong" and was granted the title of "Qu A Hou". He also had the same title as Lu Bu - the holiday festival and the opening ceremony of the government. manage.

There is also an additional "Rank Than Ten Thousand Stones". "Rank Ratio" is just a level, slightly lower than the simple "Rank" by half a level. "Rank Than Ten Thousand Stones" is half a level lower than "Rank Than Ten Thousand Stones". .

In the Han system, only the prime minister and the Taiwei were "ranked ten thousand stones". The Eastern Han Dynasty did not have a prime minister. Now Cao Cao is not a prime minister. Before, the only prime minister in the Eastern Han Dynasty was Dong Xiangguo, who had been whipped to death...

Although "Rank than Ten Thousand Stones" is just an honorary title, you must know that this is not the kind of official position that princes hold for themselves, but a special award from the imperial court, which is enough to show respect.

The original public resentment caused by Bai Tu's tax increase and the replacement of relief grains was also eliminated invisibly. Even if some aristocratic families who were unwilling to be left alone, such as the Xu family who did not want to be named, secretly set the pace, the effect was still there. Very few.

It's not that Bai Tu wants to "lever excessive amounts of money", it's actually that the Zhou herdsmen need surplus food to help Huainan in a year's time!
The autumn harvest season has passed, and the slack season has arrived. Bai Tu's policy of hiring corvees to dig wells with relief grains has also been fully launched.

Well-digging tools were distributed, and the number of wells dug was included in the assessment indicators for local officials.

For a time, digging deep wells became a trend in Danyang, northern Wu County, and Poyang County...

Naturally, this move also attracted a lot of criticism. Thanks to Bai Tu providing relief food as reward, it did not cause public resentment.

During the off-season, corvée labor was also very cheap. It was said to be a reward, but in fact it was just for taking care of the food. At most, you could leave some for your wife and children to take home.

In fact, this kills two birds with one stone. Now that the common people can eat the relief food distributed by Baitu, the food stored at home can be saved. Then, if the drought is really affected next winter, the people's ability to resist disasters will be stronger!

If the people of Danyang and Wu counties are really affected by the disaster, Bai Tu will still distribute food relief even if it is free of charge. So...it is better to use it for employment now, at least to hire some corvees.

Taking advantage of this opportunity of abundant manpower, Bai Tu hopes to put the expansion of Moling City and the construction of Jingkou Fort on the agenda.

Qu'a and Moling are just small counties, not as prosperous as Wu County. Just because they had targeted Moling before, Bai Tu didn't have any major expansion projects in Qu'a.

However, Lu Su had also reminded Bai Tu before that Moling's "Feng Shui" should be the best in Jiangdong. Although it was broken by the First Emperor before, more than 400 years have passed and Lu Su was able to repair its pattern.

Moling, formerly known as "Jinling", was passed by the First Emperor when he was on a tour. The alchemists accompanying him said that there was an aura of the emperor here. Therefore, Qin Shihuang, who had always been superstitious and domineering in alchemy, dug mountains and rivers in Jinling to break its feng shui. For the sake of safety, he Also "Jinling" was renamed "Moling".

Fodder, fodder for livestock, can be said to be cheap from gold to fodder, and it also ruins the feng shui of this place in terms of reputation.

Later, it was also in this year that Qin Shihuang died on his way back from a tour...

Bai Tu doesn't want to think too much about Feng Shui, something he can't understand at all. He only considers the location - if your Feng Shui is true, it should be consistent with my scientific site selection.

Later Soochow also had its capital in Jinling - and arrogantly changed its name to "Jianye".

Although Bai Tu has regarded Huainan as his treasure, even if he regains Shouchun one day, Bai Tu is not prepared to push the rule to the door of the Central Plains.

Comparing Jinling with Shouchun, Shouchun is already close to the south bank of the Huaihe River. In the pre-Qin period, after Qin defeated Chu for the last time to unite, the capital of Chu moved from the capital of Ying to Shouchun. Now it serves as Yuan Shu's base camp. Spring is also considered a prosperous land.

However, the attitude of Baitu's staff was not very unified when it came to the start of construction of Moling.

Lu Kang, Yu Fan, Zhang Zhao and others hoped that Bai Tu would not rush to expand Moling, and after conquering Huainan, he would move the headquarters back to Shouchun, euphemistically calling it - Tigers in the Jianghuai River and Into the Central Plains of Tu.

However, Bai Tu was not interested in this. On the first day of September in the first year of Jian'an, the staff of the six departments of the Prefectural Mufu Mansion held a Lunar New Year meeting, and everyone knew whether the construction of Moling would start this year, or where the administrative office would be moved in the future. , will also be decided today...
