Chapter 26 Fief Reform

When Yunyao opened her eyes again, she felt incredible. She won a victory on the ridge yesterday, and today it was exactly the same as before.

Winning battles these days is really unrealistic. There is no spoil at all, no money, no money, grain, territory, and population. It just fights, and then goes home and holds a bonfire party, leaving only endless emptiness, and there is really no sense of accomplishment in winning.

This is how the war between nobles is. If you don’t get used to it, you have to get used to it. If you really want to rob, you have to participate in the foreign war of the king. However, she is the only one in Yunyao’s family and you don’t have to go out to serve. Service depends on the population. The family has its own rules.

Yunyao definitely doesn't have to serve. After all, she is the only one in her family, and she will let the savages serve. It's like the last time the fief repaired a house collectively was equivalent to a labor service, but she didn't have to go too far.

"Congratulations on your return with great victory yesterday." Ji Jiang heard the children in the fief singing on the way, and knew that Yunyao won a battle yesterday: "I originally wanted to stay in the cottage and wait for you to come back yesterday, but She insisted on me to go back." It was really a pity that I was unable to share Yunyao's victory as soon as possible.

"It's nothing. To be honest, I didn't feel much, so I shot three arrows and the other party gave in and ended up giving in."

Ji She also came over at this time, and he felt that Yunyao won for granted: "Although the battle was only a short time, you have already started preparing for this battle three months ago. This is the reason for victory. If you learn nothing and prepare nothing, then it is impossible to win."

The teacher's education is really philosophical. Yun Yao didn't think so far, but he was right. He worked hard for ten years on stage in one minute. He won lightly, but his efforts behind it were not light.

"What the teacher said is that I have to keep working hard."

Ji She nodded. This apprentice was indeed smart: "Do you have mastered the white arrow?"

"I have grasped the feeling, and I am still trying to master it, and I will try to use it every time." Yun Yao said. To be honest, she doesn't know what the principle of Baiyao is, but she just uses it. However, sometimes she still fails, but the number of failures is getting fewer and fewer.

"Well, you must train to do whatever you want, but you can't be effective at any time."

"yes."

Everything returns to normal, continue training, while training, and think about how to make the field output higher. In fact, this is not just Yun Yao thinking about it, many people are thinking about it, but it is not so easy to do.

The improvement of seeds has been done, and every year the country has to screen for the best seeds to be distributed. The reason why the nobles are not allowed to retain seeds themselves is to ensure that the yield of planting can be increased a little.

The fields in the Western Zhou Dynasty were divided into three types: upper, middle and lower. The upper fields had the strongest fertility and the most output was the most, and the middle and lower fields had small output. Sometimes they had to fallow, which was stopped for a year and could not be cultivated. They were all to ensure the fertility of the land. However, they were still ripe every year, and the yields were low.

To solve the problem of insufficient food, we can only reclaim more land and conquer more savages, so that the food supply of the Chinese people is not a problem. It is impossible to eat all over the world, including the savages, so now it is a debate between China and the Chinese civilization. Chinese civilization is the Chinese people, and the others are the Dongyi, the Southern Barbarians, the Western Rong, and the Northern Di.

The Western Zhou Dynasty was an agricultural civilization, which was much more advanced than the surrounding civilization that relied on collection and nomadic survival. It took ten thousand years for the Chinese civilization to tame animals and cultivate crops. It is impossible to say that it is now relying on Yun Yao, a time traveler, to climb up the science and technology tree at once.

How to have a full meal?

Only when the fields produce a lot can there be feed for raising pigs and sheep, and the fief’s life will be better. After experiencing this heavy rain, Yunyao suddenly felt that he had been too indifferent and lacked subjective initiative in the past twelve years. Some things should be done. This time, this time, everyone’s cohesion has increased a lot. Should we do some reforms in the fief’s first?

Even if the output in the field cannot increase, you can use some other methods to increase your ability to resist risks. The risk resistance of your fief is too poor. As long as you have a year of confiscated results, you will definitely starve to death.

What are some of my fifteen-mile land? Rivers, trees, fields, soil, reeds, and bamboos.

The fewest trees, the most bamboos are OK, and the most reeds.

First, you need a variety of trees, and then you need to find ways to make bamboo reeds into something that can make money. Reeds, especially, grow rapidly and are sustainable and regenerated.

Originally, Yunyao wanted to burn pottery, but he needed fuel. Even if he cut off all the trees, he couldn't burn much pottery. So he had to plant trees, and wood was a strategic material.

Bamboo can be used as a bamboo basket and other handicraft works to exchange for money, but what about reeds? It would be a pity if the reeds with the most abundant yields are not used.

To make money, you must be good at using local resources. In the past, Yunyao used banana trees and leaves in his territory to make straw raincoats, but now he wants to make money with reeds.

Reed leaves can be used to feed livestock. Yun Yao racked his brains to think of one thing, and then reed flowers can be used as brooms, reed poles can be used as curtains, and furthermore, it seems that they can also make paper.

However, papermaking also requires fuel. Because there are not many trees, Yunyao cannot cut down trees. Even if it is not enough for papermaking, there is not much information to be passed on these days, and bamboo slips are enough. Of course, it is not enough for everyone. After all, King Wen of Zhou had written such a great masterpiece as "The Book of Changes", and bamboo slips are definitely not enough for him. But there are few people who can write a book. If you really want to write so many words, it is probably only officials who record the weather, history, and astrology.

Yunyao has traveled through time for twelve years. Apart from the time of writing oracle bone inscriptions while studying, she has never used them much on weekdays, and she doesn't write a diary. So forgot about papermaking, it mainly has three development directions: feed, reed mats, and reed curtains.

Since it was decided, Yunyao immediately mobilized everyone to harvest reeds and prepare to revitalize the economy of fief mining. Of course, in addition to making handicrafts, there are also trees planting and road construction.

It is understandable to plant trees. Shuzai suggested planting mulberry trees: "I heard that the capital has begun to stipulate that each household must plant at least two mulberry trees. Although we have not implemented it here, I think it will be our turn at the latest next year."

Of course, planting mulberry trees is for raising silkworms, and raising silkworms is for weaving cloth. With the stability of the country, everyone has more and more demands for cloth. Therefore, Zhou Li has a new rule that every household should plant mulberry trees so that silkworms will not be full.

"Mulberry trees need to be planted, and other trees need to be planted too. Only by planting trees can there be matches and wood. Isn't there a little land in the fiefdom that is difficult to open up? All trees are planted."

Shuzai also knew the benefits of planting trees, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll make arrangements. I will write down new family rules and prohibit cutting new trees." Not only should we plant, but we should also prevent savages from cutting down saplings in ignorance.

"I have to arrange a few people to learn how to weave reeds from me. This heavy rain made me see a lot. We cannot rely on the weather to make a living. We must find ways to use the resources in the territory and create goods that others need." Yun Yao said.
