Thanks to book friend Mao Zhuyu for the reward!

"This generation of field methods, fertilizing fields, and irrigation can really increase the yield of grain per mu from one stone to one and a half!?"

In the side hall of the lower palace, Zhao Yang, who had traveled far and returned from afar, sat behind the desk. He wore a majestic and tall crown, and his clothes were black and red. He stroked his beard in his left hand, and held a bamboo scroll in his right. A pair of tiger eyes stared at the long seated man. Looking at Zhao Wuxi in front of him, it was a little incredible.

And this, I don't know how many times Zhao Yang raised the volume in surprise.

Zhao Wuchun bowed and said: "Father, this is the output of wheat. The corn has just been planted for less than two months, so it is still unknown, and I am afraid that it will take a whole year of trial planting to prove that this method is not effective. It will consume too much power."

On the case that separates the father and son, there are also several volumes of pamphlets, all of which are policy addresses presented by Zhao Wuxi. Among them are Daitian methods, mills, wheat flour farming, fertility promotion, local Shiwu system, and setting up pavilions. etc. strategy.

Each of them has displayed the rigor and meticulousness of the last "remonstrance from death".

Moreover, Zhao Yang noticed that most of them were written by Wu Tie in his own hand. His handwriting was finally readable. It seemed that he spent a lot of time practicing hard.

Zhao Yang had already tasted the food made of wheat flour sent by Chengxiang, and it tasted very good. Since then, he gradually gave up the hard-to-chew corn and rice and switched to flour as the main food.

In the past month, although Zhao Wuxi did not hand over the detailed account of Chengxiang's profit from wheat flour, the family slaughter Yin Duo and others also informed Zhao Yang that the profit was at least ten times higher, and the doctors in the lower palace had already been transferred. The corn at home is exchanged for nearly a quarter!

As for his decree to benefit the people of the country and encourage fertility, similar to Zhao Jingzi's move to expand Zhao's fields, they are both giving up certain interests and buying people's hearts!

Zhao Yang praised: "Good, from this point of view, you have managed Chengxiang very well in the past six months."

Zhao Wuqing bowed his head humbly and said: "Father is wrong, it's all the plan of a group of wise men under Wuqian, such as Wangsun, Ji Qiao and others, Wuqian, just let them do it. "

"I also hope that my father can choose suitable measures as appropriate, and promote them to all the fiefdoms of our Zhao clan. If this is the case, the country will be rich and the people from far away will come, and the land will be raised and the people will stay!"

Zhao Wuxi disclosed to Zhao Yang the feasible economic measures and some peripheral technologies. As for ceramics, new military law, etc., he did not offer it because he was still immature. This is not only a fact, but also the back-up left behind by Wu Xie, and even the supervisor Wang Sunqi arranged by Zhao Yang, he also used this excuse to say hello.

Among these measures, Daitian Fa, as he said without compassion, still needs to wait for the harvest of Xia Su to judge whether it will hurt the soil strength. The policy of reducing 11 taxes to 20 taxes and 1 cannot be achieved with Zhao's current economy. It is Zhao Yang's bottom line to win people's hearts more slowly than to take effect, to ensure that the government treasury is replenished for three years, and the taxes and army are sufficient.

Only a person like Wu Xie who made a lot of money from wheat flour farming would dare to take such a big step all at once.

Zhao Yang was embarrassed to take his son's property by force, but he just proposed that some craftsmen from the lower palace should go to Chengxiang to learn ingenious things such as mills and keel waterwheels. This Zhao Wuxi agrees very much. Just relying on his population and economic base as a township, no matter how hard it is for a hundred years, it will not be able to make the Zhao family stronger.

But he also emphasized that the craftsmen must keep their mouths shut, take their families as hostages, and protect them as Zhao's secrets. At the same time, pavilions should be set up to strictly control those who pass through the territory, and the Zhao family will be beaten into an iron bucket that cannot be thrown in to prevent the enemy from infiltrating.

Zhao Yang was overjoyed by these strategies. He discovered that his son-in-law actually had the talent of Guan Zhong. It can make the warehouse overflowing, the grain invincible, the merchants and merchants come and go in the Tao, and the people of the country are willing to educate, and the townships can be managed in an orderly manner.

Although Zhao Wuxi humbly gave the credit to Ji Qiao, Sang Yangweng, and even Zi Gong, but even then, he still had the ability to use people. Zhao Yang has always believed that the lord does not need to be proficient in everything, but he must learn to appoint different talents in different positions and let them perform their respective duties, just like a scorpion pulling a carriage.

Zhao Yang couldn't even wait to know, if he was given a county of 10,000 households, what would he do?

Would it be like Guan Zhong running the country for Duke Huan of Qi?

But Zhao Yang still suppressed this kind of thought. The lord must be faithful to his words. He said before that he would see each other after the winter solstice.

Speaking of which, he remembered Wang Sunqi's letter yesterday, as well as the report of his retainer Fu Sou. As for the "pirate bandit" incident in Chengxiang before, of course Zhao Yang knew what was going on, and was immediately disappointed with the other two sons.

Well, on the same jujube tree, full-bodied good jujubes and cracked jujubes will grow at the same time. Fortunately, his eldest son is benevolent, filial, and honest, and his concubine is extremely capable. If in the future, he will take Bolu as the zongzheng, manage the clan, take Wuxi as the head of the family, inherit the throne, and govern the territory. In this way, the family can be peaceful, and the Zhao family can be prosperous...

But this plan, Zhao Yang still hides in his heart, after all, he still needs to continue to observe Wu Xian. Because he is well-informed and knows that some people can govern a town of one hundred households very well. Once the scope is expanded to a city of a thousand houses or a county of ten thousand households, he will be overwhelmed and turn good governance into evil. politics.

Zhao Yang's strategy of centralizing power has been gradually implemented, and the surrounding area of ​​the lower palace has been completely controlled by several sons. Later, it was necessary to expand outward, and replace the clans that had been passed down from generation to generation and ruled the county for many years with officials who served every three years and could be dismissed at any time.

On the other hand, his focus was on the construction of Jinyang, a major town in the north. Zhao's territory is too scattered! Moreover, Zhao Yang realized that since Yang Tong and Qi Clan were destroyed and their territories were divided up, it has been extremely difficult to expand soil in China. But facing many Rong and Di in the north, there is a lot to do. However, he felt that it was too early to tell Zhao Wuxi about this, and he might not be able to understand his deep meaning.

Besides, this is also the last test for the sons that Zhao Yang secretly prepared! Vision, a homeowner needs a long-term vision, who is a friend and who is an enemy? The expansion of the family and where the future is headed.

At Wu Xie's request, Zhao Yang also agreed that when he left the lower palace, he could go to the treasury to choose some weapons such as armour, spears, etc., go to the stables to pick up some good horses to supplement the military, and bring some different types of craftsmen back.

After finishing his inspection of Wuxi Zhixiang, Zhao Yang added: "Dong An, the doctor of Jinyang County, will come back next month to report on his work. At that time, he will also show you these strategies. , the rest will be implemented first in Jinyang."

"Dong Zi is coming back?" Zhao Wuxi was a little surprised.

For Zhao Yang and the Zhao family at this time, Dong Anyu's status and role are second to none, and he can be called the number one counselor.

At that time, Dong Hu, the historian of Jin State, was famous for his straight writing and recorded "Zhao Dun killed his lord". He probably did not expect that his descendant Dong Anyu became the die-hard loyalist of the Zhao family.

Dong Anyu has served the Zhao family since the time of Zhao Jingzi. He is not only talented, but also loyal. He is ten years older than Zhao Yang, and after he was crowned, he took the pen handed down from generation to generation by the Dong family, and was promoted by Zhao Jingzi to serve as the "pen-wielding" position of the Zhao family. He wrote the decree~www.wuxiahere.com~ Not only is he talented, but his righteousness has since become famous among the ministers.

When he was in his prime, he was appointed by Zhao Yang as the chief minister, responsible for the military law work of the soldiers of the Zhao clan. Not only did he recommend many warriors who could serve as "ministers", such as the post office, but he also enforced the law impartially and managed the clan soldiers in an orderly manner.

When he got older, Dong Anyu changed his armoured armor, put on the court clothes with loose clothes and broad belts, and assumed the post of family slaughter, so that the people of the Zhao family did not have two hearts. More than half a year ago, Zhao Wuxi saw the loyalty and support of the Chinese people to the Zhao family on that rainy night with thunder and lightning. It was Dong Anyu's credit!

Now, at the age of fifty, he went north to Jinyang to manage this newly conquered northern town for Zhao Yang. Build cities, reclaim land, recruit people, and defend against Rong and Di pirates.

Such a versatile talent, such a resume and performance, naturally established Dong Anyu's unparalleled position among the Zhao retainers.

Dong Anyu wants to come back. This is a good feeling. For this person, Zhao Wuxi also really wants to meet him. After all, Wu Xie's next target is Jinyang, a large county in the north. It is very necessary to have a good relationship with him.

On the other hand, Zhang Mengtan, who has become increasingly friendly with Wuxi, once said that Dong Anyu was the one he admired most in his life. Zhang Meng talked about being slow, so Chang Peixian was impatient, and it is said that this is what Dong Anyu did.

If possible, I would have to introduce Zhang Mengtan at that time.

However, if Wu Xie remembers correctly, the fate of Dong Anyu in history does not seem to be very good...
