Outside Pingyang City, Zaozhi slowly led his horse, took some servants and guards, and walked along the fields in the fields. After riding for a long time, his thighs were the same as they were not his own. If he dismounted the horse and stepped on the ground, he would be considered to be a recovery.

Overall, Pingyang Channel has been completely repaired and has been improved on the original basis. For example, many water trucks have been used, including hydraulic and manpower, which has all alleviated many problems of water withdrawal, which has basically escaped the threat of drought.

The reform of agricultural tax is a relatively large step forward for Fei Qian, and the main person in charge is Zao Zhi, after all, he has always been responsible for the farming in this area.

To be honest, this was pretty good in the Han Dynasty. The preferential policies for farmers were highly praised from top to bottom. Even during the war between Emperor Wu of Han and the treasury dried up several times, they did not increase taxes randomly. During Emperor Ling of Han, he was criticized for selling official positions and titles, but he did not say that he made a name to increase taxes to extort ordinary people.

So this time Fei Qian said that he would be exempted from vocational taxes and servitude, which is naturally a huge matter for ordinary people. In order to ensure that such good policies can be implemented and that they will not be profitable by grassroots officials, Zao Zhi has been running around for a while.

The common people are illiterate, and the so-called government orders can only be passed down by word of mouth. When they arrive at a village concentration point, they gather personnel, give lectures in a unified manner, and then answer questions. After this, Zao Zhi consciously ran a few points in his legs.

Overall, there are problems, but it seems to be quite good at present. The exemption of vocational taxes and re-service. Although the land taxes have increased slightly, these old farmers still make a profit after calculation, so they are very happy and willing to accept them. For grassroots officials, after all, Pingyang has only been built everywhere, and many officials have not been in office for a long time. Some of them have had to retire from the army due to injuries. Therefore, there are very few cases of lip service when executing the generals of the West to execute the orders.

In fact, the most important reason is that during this period, Fei Qian fought several battles with the Xianbei, capturing a lot of Xianbei population, and these populations became the best substitutes for farmers to work hard. Of course, some important projects will be completed by recruiting Han people, but since they are recruiting, they will be rewarded, rather than free replacement.

Many things change with the changes of the times. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the country was not too large. Whether it was a renewal or a military service, even from the country to the border, it was not too far away. Now the territory of the Han Dynasty is vast, so this renewal service system is naturally very problematic. Therefore, Fei Qian ordered the abolition and did not receive much help.

But Fei Qian still dared not easily touch the land system.

Even if Fei Qian knew clearly that land annexation was a time bomb in feudal society. When it developed to a certain state, it would explode once at a certain time, but it still could not be touched.

Why can it be done in later generations? It was a specific practice in a specific period. Moreover, productivity has also developed to a certain level. The closed small peasant economy has been almost broken under the semi-feudal and semi-colonial situation, so it has been integrated again and adopted a new model...

And now, whoever moves the private ownership of the land will be the enemy of the world!

Even this so-called enemy is not only other princes, but also his own people.

What is the purpose of fighting on the battlefield for soldiers who are wrapped in horses and corpses? Is it for Fei Qian to fight against local tyrants and divide the land and let all the world have the land? Hehe, what a joke, but for himself to become a new local tyrant! If Fei Qian deprives all the power source of these people, how many will be full of fearless proletarian spirit to follow Fei Qian to carry out a revolution?

What's more, after these people became new tyrants, land annexation was still an unstoppable historical torrent.

It’s just that Fei Qian’s step-by-step land tax system can more or less inhibit the snowball-like development and spread of land annexation to a certain extent.

Whether this step-by-step land tax system can be implemented smoothly depends on this year's autumn harvest...

Zao Zhi walked, suddenly stopped and greeted a farmer who was busy in the fields, "Brother! Boss!"

The farmer who was weeding barefoot among the fields slowly straightened his waist when he heard the sound. Seeing Ke Zaozhi and his party, he quickly said, "I dare not get the noble person called this. I don't know what the noble person has to do... Oh, isn't this the jujube follower? Oh, the old man bowed to the jujube follower!"

After saying that, the old man in the field threw down his hoe, clasped his fists with his hands, and bowed deeply to Zaozhi.

"Brother-in-law, please get up!" Zao Zhi said quickly, "...I just walked thirsty and wanted to ask for a bowl of water. If my father-in-law was so polite, I wouldn't dare to quit..."

"Hey..." The old farmer was a little panicked when he heard this, for fear that Zao Zhi would turn around and leave, so he hurriedly said, "...Zao Mo is from Cao, don't blame him! It's all the little old man who doesn't know how to speak! The little old man will pour water now!"

Although Zao Zhi was young, she was presided over the farming and mulberry trees near Pingyang and was almost every day. In addition, the experimental fields of Zao Zhi in the south of the city grew better than ordinary farmers. Therefore, the farmers near Pingyang did not understand the so-called fertilization, deep plowing, spacing and so on. Basically, they thought Zao Zhi was the god of agriculture sent by God, and they wanted to worship Zao Zhi on their own land so that their farmland could be as prosperous as the experimental fields...

The old farmer smeared Tao Wan and then carefully poured a bowl of water and handed it to Zao Zhi.

Zao Zhi didn't dislike him. He took Tao Wan, took a few sips, and pointed to the field and said, "Looking at the good growth of this Zhuanghe, I guess he could collect four or five stones in autumn!"

The old farmer grinned and laughed, saying, "I asked Cao Jiyan to ask for a date! I received nearly four stones last year, and this year it should look good..."

Zao Zhi chatted for a few more times, mainly to understand the degree of mastery of the old farmer about agricultural tax, then nodded, said goodbye to the old farmer, and headed for Pingyang.

The old farmer looked at Zao Zhi's leaving back, then held Tao Wan in his hand, and suddenly felt excited. He quickly put Tao Wan in his arms and looked around, for fear that others would see it and the farm work would not be busy, so he rushed home.

This Tao Wan was used by Zao Cheng Cao!

I have to find a good place at home and provide it with it. I can't say that I can also share some of the power of the jujube to make my own land Zhuanghe grow better...

………………………………

"What? Raise pigs?" Zao Zhi raised his eyebrows and said incredible to Fei Qian.

Fei Qian looked at Zao Zhi and laughed and said, "Yes, Zijing, this matter should be handled quickly... Not only pigs, but Bai Shiqiang will also send some sheep in the future, so they will find a place in the south of Pingyang City... By the way, how about it in Baibo Valley?"

"Baibogu?" Zao Zhi thought for a moment, nodded and said, "...If it is used to raise livestock, it is a good place. Just build some fences at the entrance and exit..." Baibogu is really good. There are mountain springs and water plants, and then seal the exit so that you don't have to worry about the livestock getting lost or the surrounding beasts invading. It is indeed a good place.

"But, why do you raise pigs?" Zao Zhi said, "... Pigs are prone to fishy smell, and they eat a lot of diseases, so they are cheap meat... This time they have so much... this..."

China did start raising pigs very early, and the pig species seemed to be available only on Eurasia at the earliest. In the ancient Former Qin Dynasty, there were different differences between pigs, and the specific words used to refer to boars and sows were produced. The feces produced by pigs were also valued by farmers as an important source of fertilizer accumulation in farmers.

Nomads do not like to raise pigs because even after being domesticated, pigs still have some sense of territory, so they are not born suitable for the migration of populations like cattle and sheep, but they are different for farming people. With the development of settlement agriculture, pig breeding has gradually increased to an important position.

However, because the gentry did not like it, the scale of pig breeding was still not large in the Han Dynasty. The gentry in the Han Dynasty mainly disliked pigs because pigs were prone to fishy smell...

If Fei Qian hadn't learned it carefully, he might not have known the mystery.

In the Han Dynasty, it was not meant to be fishy. Although pork did taste strong, the smell of mutton was not a good smell in the Han Dynasty. People in the Han Dynasty could accept boiled mutton in white water without any spices. So what does it mean to have a stronger taste of pork?

"The Literature of Zhou·Tianguan Tomb" has a sentence that says "...fishy, ​​stinky, stinky cannot be eaten...". The fishy smell in the Han Dynasty means this, that is, fishy, ​​does not mean that the meat tastes bad, but according to the literal meaning, it means that there are stars in the meat...

That is, pork tapeworm.

This most common pig parasite disease was not paid enough attention in the Han Dynasty, and I didn't even understand why it really developed. I just knew that if there was such a "fishy" on the meat, it would not be eaten.

"Salty" means that the meat is smelly and cannot be eaten.

As a gentry in the Han Dynasty, eating barbecue and other things was common. When cooking barbecue, pork tapeworms were not easily killed, so they often caused parasitic diseases among the children of these gentry. In the Han Dynasty, when there was no effective antiworming medicine, this disease was often fatal...

Although Fei Qian is not a medicine student, he has seen some pig houses or feedlots on movies and TV. One of the key points is the humidity and dirty environment and the mutual infection of animal and human feces.

In Chinese characters, the meaning is the place where pigs are raised, and it also means toilets. That is to say, in the early stages of the development of the entire pig breeding industry, pigs were raised directly in the toilets...

"That's true, Xuzi Jing is more careful..." Fei Qian said, "Fishing is the plague of pigs. Smell is the fault of survival, not the fault of family pigs... Besides, family pigs are easy to grow and reproduce. If they are well raised, they can supply blood and food continuously. If this method is written and circulated in later generations, it is no less than Shennong's achievements..."

Zao Zhi bowed and said, "How dare you compare with Shennong... Since the king has decided, I will follow it..."

Fei Qian laughed and said, "Zi Jing, don't want to be too humble. Pingyang is close to you. It is said that there are also people who have established the temple of Rusheng..."

When saying this, Fei Qian was mostly used to make fun of it, not for anything else. However, the speaker was unintentional and the listener was intentional. Zao Zhi couldn't help but jumped in his heart, and he quickly bowed and said, "... Please forgive me, I really don't know about this..."

"Ah?" Fei Qian then reacted, pondered for a moment, and did not say anything to let Zao Zhi flatten, but stood up, then walked to Zao Zhi, helped Zao Zhi up with his own hands, and then held Zao Zhi's arm and said, "Zi Jing, it was a slight mistake. I should not use this to make fun of Zi Jing... Attacking Xianbei and recovering Yinshan was a temporary achievement. Although it was glorious at this moment, it may be destroyed in ashes a hundred years later. Zi Jing's achievements are beneficial to agriculture and sericulture. There are people in the world who can benefit them for a hundred years! Although such achievements are not great, they will be grateful to the world, and even if they receive some incense in the temple, what's wrong with it?"

"But...but," Zao Zhi argued, "...this is not a single person's contribution! As for the matter of taking Zhuanghe, this is deep cultivation, top dressing, turning over soil, cultivating seedlings, and even selecting seedlings. Although the king and the prince have many documents and fights in the south and north, they have also asked many questions to solve some doubts... If it were not for the advice of the prince, how could he accomplish it? In this life, there is no position as a prince... How can he enjoy it with shamelessness! This matter must not be done!"

Fei Qian smiled and patted Zao Zhi on the shoulder and said, "Haha, it's not you. Do I have to bear the reputation of farming, raising pigs and herding sheep? When someone mentioned something, he would say that General Cattle and Sheep would not be able to do it? In this matter, it would be better for Zijing to bear the bad reputation for me... Hahaha, this matter is just for this matter, don't mention it again..."

"What's wrong with this..." Zao Zhi sighed, knowing that Fei Qian's words made some sense, so he stopped continuing the topic.

The Han gentry has come to this day, and many of the problems of the Wei and Jin dynasties have been revealed. What is pure and high-profile talk is just a little habit. Perhaps the problem is not very big. Practicing alchemy and taking medicine has become a kind of elegance. Maybe it is just a poisoning of their own body. It can be regarded as the business of these people, but some of the remarks and thoughts are harming the entire society.

Chen Fan's victory over the world has seemed to have become the motto of some people. It is like people often say that they should pay attention to agriculture and sericulture, but in fact, when it is really his turn to do farm work, he will put on a face like "How can I do such a despicable thing?"...

"...In addition, this autumn harvest is the first time that the land tax reform is reorganized..." Fei Qian smiled and said, "...Zi Jing, there is something to tell you... the number of farmlands near Pingyang, etc. Zi Jing is the clearest. If someone hides it during the autumn fu, he will do it seriously... He will punish him strictly!" Fei Qian is almost certain that among the officials in the middle and lower classes, they cannot be said to be bad people, but there must be a few rats with glamorous appearance and dirty hearts.
