"This … please forgive the duke!"
Tom, dick and Harry’s nose and tears are mixed together. You shouldn’t have taken that sip of wine today!
Ji Chang patted his sleeve and looked like an elder. "Things have said that big businessmen will not report to the punishments if they don’t talk, but they want to gamble with you!"
Gambling?
Zhang San and Li Si look at each other with puzzled faces. They also like to gamble on horses, and they can also make a little money when charity Taoist appears.
But betting with Ji Chang …
Bet on what? They wouldn’t dare to win if they bet!
Unless you bet on who will live long, you will live for a few more years at most, and you can’t settle accounts with them if you win.
"Just bet on this farming. If King Hou Jin is not good at farming and the spring ploughing is broken, you win. If King Hou Jin helps you, you lose."
What are you betting on?
Zhang San wondered, "I don’t know the duke’s bet?"
Uh…
Ji Chang was asked one leng that he was trapped in a prison and still had to go back to prison after planting the land. There was really nothing to bet on.
On the other hand, while worshipping Hou Hu took out a piece of Yu Pei from the waist, he smiled. "This Yu Pei note will be yours if you win Yu Pei."
Zhou Wang’s intention is that Ji Chang intends to go to the countryside as a vassal, nobleman and minister, and he is already white.
Li Si looked at Yu Pei and wiped her mouth with saliva. "What if we lose?"
Ji Chang said, "If you lose, tell your neighbors and let everyone know about it."
"good!"
If two people lose by accident, they will lose some face, but if they win, they can earn a Yu Pei for nothing.
After the crowd dispersed, Zhang San, Li Si followed the driver and walked to his own field. All the way, he met many noble drivers who cultivated or worked in the same township.
And those farmers who are covered in mud like them are silently greeted by the roadside, and their faces are full of anger and dare not express resentment.
During the public discussion, some people will be greedy for petty gains because Zhou Wang has grown its own species. After a few months, they have all come to the DPRK for nothing. They will never farm in the fields and can do nothing but get in the way.
Even if a few strong military commanders can do some coolies, there will always be his unfortunate encounter with old masters like Ji Chang and Shang, who not only can’t farm but also have to wait on them carefully.
Seeing this scene, Tom, dick and Harry are more at ease in their hearts.
Chapter 413 The first layer of empathy
The busy scene of farmers in the fields is no different from that imagined by Chong Houhu. Farmers don’t want laymen such as officials or nobles to intervene, but they also disobey orders.
Most farmers wear short clothes and short sleeves. Since the end of last year, sweaters have no etiquette restrictions on clothes, and they have discovered the advantages of short clothes and short sleeves-simplicity.
In particular, short clothes and short sleeves for working in the field have become standard, which are not easy to get dirty and easy to wash. It is also convenient for them to carry loads of compost and dump it in the field while shouting and joking.
At this time, the peasants concluded that both short clothes and short sleeves and manure came from Zhou Wang. These two things are convenient for farming and make people who work in these fields have a good life.
It happened that Zhou Wang sent another officer who didn’t know how to farm the DPRK to make trouble, which made people laugh and cry.
Chonghouhu looked at this scene that he had never seen before and sighed in his heart. He has also been a duke for decades, but he never knew that people were like farming.
This is the first meaning of Zhou Wang, so that the DPRK officials can understand the people when they pass through the countryside, so that they can better manage their farming. How can an official persuade farmers to come up with a policy of benefiting farmers if he doesn’t even know how crops grow in the fields?
In addition, it is also good for the nobles. Zhou Wang hopes that the nobles can realize that the people’s sufferings have changed more or less.
This is called empathy. I hope more people can put themselves in the shoes of farmers.
However, this is the first layer, and the deeper meaning needs more consideration.
Chonghouhu continued to walk in the field, just in time to catch Zhang San’s well water to irrigate the field. He suddenly realized one thing.
Well field system changed!
He quickly grabbed Zhang Sandao. "Zhang San, before you, were all wells in the public fields taking water to irrigate the fields?"
