The most arrogant in history

Chapter 195: Eight princes fight against the traitor!

Li's sister-in-law blushed again and whispered, "I am Wan Changliu, and my husband's family name is Li."

"Then I will call you Sister Wan from now on. Who else is in the family?"

"There is no one left in my husband's family. They all died of plague a few years ago. My mother's family has a younger brother named Wan Changzhu, who is the man driving the cart just now. He can read, so I asked him to come and help."

"Very good, let your brother work hard, I will promote him in the future."

Ye Kun nodded and led everyone forward, inspecting rural construction and agricultural production along the way.

There is a village of 100 households ahead, called Fengshou Village, which is a model village built by Ye Kun.

After lunch, Ye Kun brought everyone to Fengshou Village to check the situation.

The early rice is being harvested here and it is very busy.

Ye Kun took off his long gown and personally led everyone to work, testing the quality of agricultural tools and farming efficiency through practical operations.

The village is equipped with twenty small flatbed trucks and a four-foot-wide transport road has been built in the fields, so that trucks can be used for transportation when the weather is fine and the road surface is hard.

When planning, space was reserved for threshing floors and haystacks in front of every house.

Based on the experience of later generations, Ye Kun instructed everyone on threshing and winnowing, allowing them to learn while working.

After dinner, Ye Kun convened the village head and relevant personnel, as well as several veteran farmers’ representatives, to calculate the actual per-acre yield.

The final result is 170 pounds!

This is the result of rice transplanting and scientific management. Compared with the previous direct rice planting model, the average yield per mu has increased by 70 to 80 kilograms.

Rice transplanting also saves seeds, which means the yield has doubled.

The village chief and the old farmer representative were very happy and said, "Master Ye, with this kind of output, even if it's 50-50 and we pay half the tax, we're still more profitable than before."

Ye Kun nodded and smiled:

"This year is the first year of our new agricultural promotion. From seedling cultivation to management, none of them are mature yet. The composting technology has not been well promoted. The seeds have not been screened, and our village is newly built, so there are too many things to do, which has delayed farmland management. I believe that next year's output will reach more than 200 kilograms."

The people of Dading Kingdom do not quite understand the composting technology, nor do they take it seriously.

They only knew that manure could be used to fertilize the fields, so they threw cow and horse manure directly into the fields, which resulted in a huge waste.

In the plains where firewood is scarce, cow dung and horse dung are used as fuel. However, in Dongba County, most of the land is mountainous and there is no shortage of firewood, so cow dung and horse dung are used directly as fertilizer.

Ye Kun designed a composting process, requiring each household to reserve a seven- to eight-foot-diameter area at the corner below the threshing floor for composting. The grass and leaf debris were mixed with cow dung, horse dung and other animal feces, plant ash, and black mud from the pond bottom, stirred thoroughly, and then piled up for fermentation.

In addition, every household has a latrine of a certain capacity in the backyard for composting.

There is also the theory of crop rotation, which Ye Kun also promoted.

Before crossing over, Ye Kun's father was a farming expert in the countryside, a high school graduate, who contracted 30 acres of land and often boasted to Ye Kun about his farming experience. When Ye Kun returned home, he also participated in the labor, so he was experienced.

We held a discussion together and the atmosphere was very relaxed and pleasant.

An old farmer laughed and said:

"Master Ye, you are totally different from the old government officials. The old officials only collected taxes from us, made us do labor, beat and scolded us, and forced us to sell our children. But you gave us farm tools, taught us how to work, and helped us with the work..."

"Because I used to be a farmer, I know the hardships that farmers go through."

Ye Kun nodded and asked about the medical and health conditions in the village.

Five nearby villages are combined into one pavilion, and are staffed with two village doctors, one male and one female.

The village doctor reported: "In our five villages, a total of 68 children have been born since the beginning of the year, with only two deaths in childbirth and two deaths from postpartum stroke. In the past three months, three people were bitten by venomous snakes, and all were saved. A villager was hit by a mad cow and had broken ribs. He vomited blood for several days, but he was also saved... Another child was bitten by a mad dog and died."

"Mad dog disease?" Ye Kun frowned slightly and popularized rabies to everyone:

"Rabies, also known as mad dog disease, cannot be cured. When patients are sick, they are afraid of water and will convulse when they hear the sound of others drinking water. To prevent rabies, we can only start from the source, that is, if we find a mad dog or a sick dog with a bad mental state, we should kill it."

The village doctor said, "The mad dog has been killed and everyone is stewing it and eating it."

"Ah, you ate it?" Ye Kun complained bitterly and continued to educate everyone:

"Don't eat mad dogs in the future, or you may get rabies. If the butcher's skin is pierced by a dog bone during the killing process, he will be infected with rabies and die. If the dog meat is not cooked, you will also get rabies if you eat it! Everyone remember, don't eat mad dogs. If you eat normal dog meat, you must boil the water and stew it for a quarter of an hour!"

The ancients were really tough. They even dared to eat a mad dog.

The six domestic animals of the Da Ding Kingdom include dogs, which means that dogs are one of the officially recognized edible meat animals.

In addition, life is hard, so people are reluctant to abandon the mad dog.

The village doctor smiled awkwardly: "I also ate mad dog meat, and it seems to be fine."

"You're still laughing?" Ye Kun said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry:

"The longest incubation period for the rabies virus is twenty years. That means if you eat rabies dog meat, you could get rabies at any time within twenty years!"

"Ah, so scary?"

The village doctor was a little scared.

Ye Kun instructed Wen Axiu who was traveling with him: "Teacher Wen, please record the rabies situation I just mentioned. After we go back, we will issue a notice to each village to clear out mad dogs."

This time, Wen Axiu and Liu Hongyu both followed Ye Kun and served as his secretary and assistant.

Wen Ah Xiu nodded and said with a smile: "After hearing what Lord Ye said, I will never dare to eat dog meat again."

At night, Ye Kun stayed at the village chief's house, recalling the knowledge about rabies, asking Wen Axiu to record it, and then copying it to the village doctors in each pavilion.

I seem to remember that after being bitten or scratched by a cat or dog, you should rinse the wound with plenty of clean water to reduce the chance of infection by half.

There is also a ten-day observation method, which Ye Kun also wrote down.

The next morning, Ye Kun led everyone to continue moving forward and check other villages along the way.

In the evening, we arrived at the Xiping Mountain camp.

Unexpectedly, Shangguan Jifu also sent his personal soldiers to deliver the letter to the Xipingshan camp.

Seeing Ye Kun, the personal soldier was very happy: "Master Ye, I was just about to go to Dongba City to send you a letter, but I didn't expect you to be in Xiping Mountain!"

Ye Kun nodded: "Did Lord Shangguan ask you to come? What's the matter?"

The guard handed over Shangguan Jifu's handwritten letter: "Shangguan said that the princes of the world have agreed to raise an army together and go to Luoyang to fight against the traitor Niu Yeliang, rebuild the country, and support the court!"

"Ah, an alliance of princes to fight against the traitors?" Ye Kun was a little surprised and a little surprised.

This plot is about the eighteen princes fighting against Dong Zhuo during the Three Kingdoms period!

Because Niu Yeliang was the governor of Xiliang. After the New Year, he suppressed the Huang Tiandao uprising army and marched into Luoyang. He controlled the emperor and the court, proclaimed himself the Grand Tutor, lived a licentious life, killed innocent people indiscriminately, trampled on the people, deposed the young emperor, established a new emperor, slept on the dragon bed at night, defiled the harem, and often used the reputation of the Son of Heaven to place himself above all the princes in the world.

The princes of the world were also filled with righteous indignation, so they agreed to attack together.

The soldier who delivered the letter nodded: "Yes, the princes of the world have formed an alliance to fight against the traitors. Lord Shangguan has also received an invitation, but he doesn't know whether he should go, so he sent me to deliver a letter to Lord Ye to discuss..."
