The yield experiment was a great success, and the yield per mu was shocking, and it also greatly exceeded Zhou Ming's own expectations.

So, what's next?

Expand the planting area, contract 1,800 acres, and be a big landlord and a big grain king?

Zhou Ming shook his head and smiled, this was really too much.

How to deal with so much food grown?

Sell?

It's impossible to sell because there isn't that much market demand.

In addition, with the traffic conditions of this era and the taxes and customs in various places, the grain was sold for more than 100 miles, which was basically unprofitable.

Maybe tens of thousands of catties of grain can't be exchanged for a piece of spirit coin.

"The economic structure of the world is mainly a self-sufficient natural economy, large-scale commodity trading, there is no such market, low value-added food, there is no need for trafficking. ”

Zhou Ming is also not interested in being an old farmer who plows every day, farming will not become his main business, at most he will get a few acres of land to plant and play.

So, what exactly does he want to do?

What is the real purpose?

What kind of model of farming is his so-called farming?

Naturally, he wanted to change the face of the entire village of Limburg, and then hoped to change the farming of this world.

And in the process, enhance your own prestige, cultivate your own power, stand in the position of the leader, and stir up the world.

Therefore, he set up an "agricultural mutual aid cooperative" and brought in all the middle-aged and young women of the village to become members of the cooperative.

A total of 233 people.

Except for the Lin family, a large household in the village, all the peasant women in the village did not miss a single one, and all joined the cooperative.

How did Zhou Ming do it?

There are two reasons.

One is the addition of appearance, being young and handsome is an advantage, and Zhou Ming's good skin accounts for 50% of the reasons.

The other is at the mobilization meeting, Zhou Ming's new planting model will bring great changes to each household, depicting an attractive prospect.

I won't go into detail about the long speech, but it can be summed up in a few sentences:

Follow me to learn farming, the output of one acre of land, top three acres!

Follow me to make tools, and in the future, it takes one-third of the time and energy to take care of an acre of land.

Follow me to engage in half-farming and half-herding, and in the future, women will be the main force of family production, and the grain will not be exhausted, meat, eggs and milk will be available every day, and there will not even be a need for men to hunt in the mountains.

In short, follow him Zhou Minggan, and the days will only get better and better, and the more comfortable they will be!

The old and young ladies were all moved, not by the beautiful vision described by Zhou Ming, but by the self-confidence and demeanor that he showed when he gave a speech, which made these old and young ladies blush and shy, and their hearts and livers were pounding.

"I used to think that Zhang Shanhe was handsome, but now I find out that he is so handsome!"

"Compared with the dead wood in my house, Zhang Shanhe doesn't know where it is, and the words that come out of his mouth are like being coated with honey. ”

"If the old lady was born thirty years later, it would be good to marry him and give him ten or eight babies!"

"For the sake of your sweet mouth and good looks, my mother will join your cooperative. ”

"As long as I can see mountains and rivers every day in the future, I will join no matter what club!" There are also girls who say with a nymphomaniac face.

The members of the cooperative joined so enthusiastically, and the women's resources of the whole village gathered around him, Zhou Ming was naturally overjoyed and full of a sense of achievement...... Of course, if he is asked to know, the specific idea why these women joined, I don't know if he will be depressed and vomit blood?

But no matter what, Zhou Ming, who has a lot of resources in his hands, led all members to launch a vigorous large-scale production movement soon after the establishment of the cooperative.

First, he scraped together materials and money, bought two horses and a cow from a passing caravan, and transformed them into ploughing horses and ploughing cattle, which cost a lot of money, and was accused by many men of being a loser and had a few quarrels, but it did not hurt the overall situation.

Then 2,000 acres of land were encircled outside the village, 1,000 acres were planted with pasture, and 1,000 acres were planted with grain.

The role of ploughing horses and cattle is huge, and so much land can be ploughed in only five days.

Then there is seed selection, sowing, building public toilets, building fertilizer factories, repairing irrigation canals, weeding and watering, going to the forest to cut trees to make agricultural machinery and tools, catching pheasants and driving them to the fields to eat insects, and catching pigs and sheep for domestication and breeding...... In the course of three or four months, all the members of the cooperative were so busy that they did not have a day off.

Zhou Ming's "workload is only one-third of what it used to be" has completely become a big fool!

The labor intensity has not only not been reduced, but has increased several times.

Even because they are too busy, some housewives have put their families aside and devoted themselves to serving the cooperative.

This has led to many family relationships that are not harmonious, and quarrels are commonplace.

There have even been several instances of domestic violence.

Agricultural mutual aid cooperatives have become a thorn in the side of many men, and Zhou Ming has also been warned several times in private.

But the cooperative was not destroyed by these disturbances and difficulties, and none of the women proposed to quit, but they were more energetic, buried in the grievances in their hearts, gritted their teeth, and wanted to do a good job in that big cause.

The way they tried to move forward, it felt as if faith was infused into their bodies.

Someone shouted in horror at this scene:

"Zhang Shanhe was possessed by the demon, not to mention, but also with our mother-in-law and daughter, who was also possessed by the demon, no!

The power of this sentence was huge, and the men took coercive measures one after another, and after some tearing, they dragged their respective women home, and surrounded Zhou Ming in the middle with unkind eyes, ready to beat him.

Fortunately, at this time, the situation was already clear, Zhou Ming was not only not afraid of these angry eyes, but smiled slightly: "You can just follow me to the field to see, see how the high-yield golden wheat grown in the field is thriving under the leadership of my evil demon?"

Yes.

The golden wheat is ripe.

A large piece of gold.

It's so bright that you can't open your eyes.

The men and men who followed over were surprised one by one, they didn't go to the forest to hunt for more than ten days, not to mention that these golden wheat were all ripe, and they still grew so well?

The yield per mu is around 1,500 catties.

"This is one of the fruits of your labor, the women of your family, in the past few months. ”

"On average, a household of four acres of wheat field produces the same amount of grain as 12 acres before, which is enough for each family to eat for a year. ”

"And in the pasture over there, there are more than 1,300 pheasants, 800 hares, 50 wild boars and 5 wild sheep, which are also caught by the women of various families in the forest, although not much, but at least the same as you men, go to the mountains to hunt more than twice for the harvest. ”

"As far as I know, every time you go out to hunt, although it is very dangerous, the game you bring back can only last for five to seven days at most, and then you have to go into the mountains again to hunt, and your wives and children who stay at home eat the most vegetables and grains that you grow, and you have to prepare a portion for you before entering the mountains. ”

"So, do you think you have the right to beat and scold your mother-in-law? They not only feed themselves and their children, but they also have to be busy with all kinds of things, and they have to serve you comfortably!"

"Do you think the reason why they joined the cooperative was because they were bewitched by my Zhang Shanhe and because they were possessed by demons? Wrong! They actually hope to harvest more food, let their men go into the mountains less often, and reduce the dangers they may encounter!"

"In my cooperative, the hardest working women are the widows, they have lost their men, they are alone with their children, their life is very hard, but now they see hope, because as long as the cooperative continues, their sons do not need to go into the mountains to hunt all year round, and they can live in the village with food and clothing!"

"This is your woman!"

"A demon-possessed woman!"

"If you still feel the need, please go back and continue to beat and scold!"

Zhou Ming sneered and yelled at the muscular men in front of him.

Be quiet.

Absolute silence.

Everyone bowed their heads.

His face was red to the back of his ears, and he was ashamed of himself.

"Woo woo woo~"

The women hugged each other aggrievedly, crying wow.

"Smack!"

A big man slapped himself in the face, walked up to his wife, put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Child, I was wrong, I shouldn't have beaten you yesterday!"

"You have suffered a thousand cuts~" The wife hammered him twice in the chest, and then buried her head in the man's chest, crying even louder.

There are also people who repented and ran home quickly, shouting: "Mother-in-law, I was wrong, you can beat me a few times!"

Most of the big men went home silently, and the indignation on their faces and the anger in their eyes turned into contemplation and powerless rebuttal.

Zhou Ming's profound ideological education class has played a very significant effect, and the relationship between husband and wife in the village is obviously much more harmonious.

The next day, when he went to the field to harvest the ripe golden wheat, there were many men who had never done farm work, and they had more sickles in their hands.

Of course, there are some people who really can't wipe their faces, although they didn't help, but they didn't complain and complain behind their backs, and even unconsciously helped a little, such as carrying bags of wheat back to their own homes.

The harvest of golden wheat was completed smoothly.

After eating noodles and baked bread made from new wheat, many villagers' homes were filled with laughter and laughter on this day.

The various plans implemented by Zhou Ming's cooperative have triggered a new round of controversy and collision in the discussion of these families.

Some of the more powerful women even told their men to stop hunting in the mountains and help her at home, assisting in the operation of the ranch and increasing the production of meat, eggs and milk.

Naturally, the men objected instantly, what kind of broken cooperatives? Not participating, resolutely not participating!

We are hunters, not women sitting at home!

"You men die three or four times a year when they go into the mountains, and a few years ago when you came across a strange beast, thirteen of them died at once! ”

"No, we are hunters by life, and we are hunters when we die!

Out of the dignity of a hunter, it is not surprising that none of the men expressed interest in participating in agricultural cooperatives, and although they did not object, they would never participate.

But in any case, from this day on, for the first time, the status of the women, who used to work hard and complain, and who had little say in family affairs, was greatly improved!
