My Days of Farming in Nanyang

Nanyang Farming Notes Chen Mohun, a graduate student in agriculture, traveled to Nanyang in the second year of Jian'an and became a helpless orphan with both parents dead. At that time, Yuan Shu's conquests were violent, and the fields of Nanyang were starved to death. Soldiers and bandits were rampant, and people's lives were like grass. At the beginning, there is a dilapidated hut, three-thirds of barren fields, and half a bag of moldy corn, and the hell mode is turned on. Relying on thousands of years of agricultural knowledge, he cultivated deeply and carefully to improve the soil, selected and bred fine seeds, cultivated and planted intensively, and turned wasteland into fertile land. He established himself as a farmer and saved his life with food. Refusing harsh taxes, retiring from military service, fighting with officers and soldiers, guarding millet fields, and protecting one's harvest in troubled times; Build a silent village, practice local bravery, collect refugees, establish village regulations, and build a fortress on the barren slopes. From three-quarters of thin farmland to ten thousand acres of fertile land, from being alone to united efforts, from being unarmed to having a strong army. He does not strive for hegemony or claim to be king. He only protects the land and water, supports the people, enriches the country with agriculture, and defeats the strong with stability. In the war-torn late Han Dynasty, he carved out a path of survival unique to farmers, which eventually became the foundation for the founding of the Shu Han Dynasty and left his name in history.
