Because of this new curved plough, spring ploughing was completed earlier than in previous years.After receiving the praise and good news from local officials, Liu Kai was in a good mood, and the haze of the two defeats in the western expedition in his heart also dissipated a lot.These officials in various places did not know that Emperor Liu Kai of Liang had this idea, and they also had many beautiful words about Yongle when they were on the table, which was nothing more than saying that the Son of Heaven was benevolent, and God sent down auspiciousness, so that there was this new plow, and this because of the appearance of the Quyuan plow, spring ploughing everywhere can be fertilized and ploughed again, so that this year's good harvest can be predicted.These people have subconsciously avoided Moshu to raise chickens, not only to produce meat and eggs, but also to provide a lot of fertilizer.When Mo Shu heard these news, while being happy, she couldn't help but have hidden worries when she thought of her previous life, and immediately sighed silently.To be honest, Mo Shu really didn't know if she was doing the right thing.In Mo Shu's plan, the troubled times are naturally an opportunity for the Mo family's descendants, but for the people, it is a matter of misery, so she is very conflicted.Although Mo Shu took out the Quyuan plow and raised chickens, all of which were things that benefited the people and improved their lives, they were mainly selfish.She didn't know if it would change when she came, and make the original war disappear.Mo Shu hoped to use the opportunity of the war to revive the Mo family, but she didn't want to see the people suffer from the war.Wu Ziheng saw that Mo Shu didn't speak, raised his eyebrows and asked: "My cousin is not happy to hear this news" Mo Shu raised his head and said to Wu Ziheng: "Although I also hope to have a good harvest this year, if I can foresee a bumper harvest just because spring ploughing is applied in advance, I won't say that farmers rely on the sky for food."
I don't know if this quyuan plow and the fertilizer provided by the chicken farm can make this year a little better.Wu Ziheng said: "Since the quality of this year is not up to my cousin to decide, why should my cousin think too much about the current problems, it is not more about natural disasters."
Even if the year is good, it can't withstand the toss from above, on the contrary, if the year is good, some people should have the idea of spending money. ”Hearing this, Mo Shu suddenly thought of Liu Kai.Then I thought about it.Wu Ziheng is right, this war is not something that the people of Shengdou can decide, only the person who sits on the throne can decide.Even if she made more efforts to make the fields abundant, and the people could have work and get wages to subsidize their families, if Emperor Liu Kai of Liang still wanted to go west, as well as dig the Grand Canal, build a large number of buildings, and be poor and extravagant, everything else would be in vain, and war would still occur.After figuring it out, Mo Shu was no longer entangled.Since all this is the trend of the times, instead of dwelling on what is not there, it is better to prepare quickly, looking at the current situation, I am afraid that the war will be ahead of schedule.In times of war, the most important thing is that Mo Shu knows that when he has money, he may not be able to use it, even if prices skyrocket, food and other necessities of life, no matter how much money is paid, it is difficult to buy.This is also the reason why Mo Shu tried her best to hoard food.In addition, in times of war, no matter the outcasts, stragglers will become bandits, burn, kill and loot, and it is really important to learn some martial arts for self-defense, especially to learn to ride horses.Mo Shu felt that his subordinate Zhuang Ding had to train as soon as possible.It's April, and this year there is less rain in the north and south, and most of the wheat and corn grown in the north need not much water, so they feel a little drought, and the rice planting in the south is even more obvious, and there is not much water in the field when planting rice.Mo Shu's heart sank a little.It seems that she guessed correctly, and this natural disaster has also been advanced.Even so, Mo Shu still had a hint of luck in her heart, thinking that this small drought would happen almost every year, maybe not as serious as she thought.The pond near the river was dug in February.As Mo Shu said to the outside world, Dani had already hatched the duck eggs and goose eggs collected everywhere.Because of the length of the hatching period, the ducks are the first to break the shell, and after a month in the house, the rivers thaw and the spring river warms, and the ducks and geese are released into the pond.At the same time, Mo Shu also chose a place near the chicken farm in Lingbei County, Zhongzhou, where a river flows, and began to dig a pond to raise ducks and geese.This place is already quite close to the fields of the Mo clan in the original Lingbei.Mo Zhihai was vigilant, but he repeatedly played for Mo Shu to raise chickens in Lingbei, Zhongzhou, Liu Kai was indifferent, he knew that the emperor was not concerned about this matter, although he was in a hurry, he was helpless to take Mo Shu.So far, Mo Shu has not made any moves on any industrial fields that originally belonged to the Mo family, even if she knew that she chose the location of the chicken farm and duck and goose breeding site so close to the ancestral land of the Mo family, it must have other plans, but for Mo Shu's more and more thoughts on the bright side, Emperor Liang Liu Kai did not have any reaction, and Mo Zhihai had no choice.Who let Mo Shu not only come from the Mo family's descendants, but also stood behind the Jin State Mansion Mo Zhihai did not dare to act blatantly no matter what.There was a light rain during this year's spring ploughing, although the rivers thawed, and the water from the upstream ice and snow melted to the downstream, but after this flood season, the water level was not replenished, and the water level was still lower than in previous years.Fortunately, there is a river near Yuhu Villa, so the farmland does not have water to irrigate, and it does not mean that it needs to use water from the pond.But as the time entered April, the crops in the fields began to draw, but there was still not a drop of rain for several months, and the drought was a bit severe.The officials who had previously praised their merits were also a little anxious.Under such circumstances, if the drought continues, let alone a bumper harvest, it would be good if the harvest would be the same as last year.But in early spring, the harvest was handed over, but the tax was not as good as last year, and it was strange that the mood would be good, if Emperor Liang Liu Kai was in a bad mood, he was afraid that the charge of bullying the king would fall on his head.Even though officials no longer want to see the drought continue, the day is getting drier and drier day by day.The water level of the river on the side of Yuhu Mountain Villa has also dropped sharply, looking at the arid fields, Mo Shu, who has dug deep ditches in the fields, asked the pond next to the mountain villa to release water to the nearby fields.At this time, the steward made an opinion, and said, "Cousin, I am afraid that this is not appropriate. ”Mo Shu asked: "What's wrong?"
but saw the steward bow down and replied: "These ditches have been dry for a long time, and many of them have dried up. ”:
