Chapter 289: Development and Growth, Start by Fighting Local Tyrants and Farming!

Rice can only be grown in paddy fields.

On dry land, Yang Jing does not plan to grow wheat or corn.

The first is that the ripening cycle is too long, and the second is that the yield is too low.

It is difficult to solve the problem of food and clothing for the people.

Therefore, the crops that Yang Jing wants to choose must be crops with a short maturity cycle, high yield, and suitable for planting in all seasons.

As for whether it tastes good or not, whether it suits your appetite or not, it is secondary.

After all, living in this era of war and chaos, it is already a luxury to be able to fill your stomach.

It's better to be alive than anything else.

As for enjoying life, that's after defeating the little devils and winning peace.

So, Yang Jing decided to grow potatoes in dry land!

Also called artichoke, or potato.

In China, potatoes are generally eaten as vegetables, however, in many countries and regions, potatoes are used as a staple food in many countries and regions.

Potatoes are also the fourth most important food crop in the world, after wheat, rice and corn.

The yield of potatoes is very high, and the yield per mu can reach an astonishing 4,000-10,000 catties.

In large areas of China, almost all crops can be planted for more than two seasons.

Using the seeds and fertilizers produced by the system, the yield per mu can be increased to about 12,000-15,000 catties, and three crops can be planted a year.

In other words, the annual yield of potatoes can even reach more than 40,000 catties per mu!

It's terrifying!

The rapid growth of Europe's population is inseparable from the huge credit of potatoes.

In the 16th and 17th centuries, Europe's population increased by 17 times in just 200 years by introducing potatoes.

Among them, potatoes had the greatest influence on the rise of Germany and Russia.

During the Thirty Years' War from 1618 to 1648, the main battlefield was on the territory of German Prussia.

As the food in the granaries was plundered by the armies of various countries, the whole country was shrouded in the shadow of famine.

But when the farmers went to dig in the fields again, they found that a large number of previously undug potatoes were still edible, and they were freed from famine in one fell swoop.

Since then, potato cultivation has been widely promoted in Germany and has become Germany. Food common to both the military and civilians.

Germany had only 9 million people in 1500, 18 million in 1800, and a staggering 43 million in 1900.

The same is true in Russia, where there were only 12 million people in 1500, 37 million in 1800, and a staggering 106 million in 1900.

In the more than 200 years since potatoes arrived in Europe, Britain has ruled the seas and achieved the prestige of an empire on which the sun never sets.

Germany launched World War I, World War II.

The rise of Russia also completely changed the strategic landscape of the entire world.

It can be said that potatoes are completely a strategic crop!

The most important thing is that potatoes can be eaten in a variety of ways, they can be fried and eaten, stewed, fried or directly burned over fire.

It can be shredded, it can be cut into slices, and it can be cut into lumps.

It can be stir-fried or boiled in soup.

It can be said that there may be people who are not very interested in eating potatoes, but there are definitely no people who hate eating potatoes.

……

At the moment, Yang Jing had already made a decision in his heart.

Instead, he added: "If you have no problem with the proposal of Ma Tong and Rake Ear, then implement it immediately!"

First control the county seat of Jinzhai, and then conduct an investigation according to the reports of the people.

After the evidence is conclusive, anyone who commits adultery, oppresses the good, is rich and unkind, and runs rampant in the countryside will be executed in public!

His family property was confiscated, and all grain and land were distributed to the people of Jinzhai County!

In addition, if we control all the pharmacies and shops in the city, we will inevitably suffer casualties when we march and fight, and there will be an urgent shortage of medicines in many cases! ”

Everyone agreed: "Yes!" ”

Yang Jing nodded, and said to Bi Yuntao and Wang Dali: "According to the reconnaissance of the 4th battalion, there is no regular army stationed in Jinzhai County, and only one local security team maintains law and order.

I think one battalion is enough.

The two of you lead the 1st Battalion and the reconnaissance company to take the lead and rush to control the county seat, and we will be there later! ”

"Yes!" Bi Yuntao and Wang Dali stood up and saluted at the same time, then turned around and left the headquarters, quickly gathered their troops, and led the order to drive towards Jinzhai County, which was 50 miles away.

Instead, Yang Jing turned his head to look at Liu Yue, the commander of the 4th battalion, and said: "Commander of the 4th battalion, outside of Jinzhai County, there must be a lot of rich and unkind landlords.

You came to Jinzhai County at the earliest, Menqing, these landlords and old wealth, will be handed over to you!

After capturing them one by one, they were immediately brought to the county seat and executed! ”

"Yes!" Liu Yue also stood up and agreed.

Yang Jing instructed Fan Tietou, Chen Lin, Zhao Hong, and Ma Tong and others: "You can also go and assemble the troops, and set off in half an hour to go to Jinzhai County!" ”

"Yes!"

The crowd roared away.

Yang Jing came to the field doctor, first comforted the wounded, and then briefly warmed up with Yao Shujun for a while.

……

Half an hour later.

The troops are assembled.

After thinking about it, Yang Jing decided to leave Chen Lin to lead the 3rd battalion and accompany these people to continue to stay in Fengjia Village, while being responsible for maintaining order to avoid chaos.

After all, there are many refugees, and there are mixed good and bad, and some incidents will inevitably occur.

Yang Jing himself took the 2nd Battalion, the Artillery Battalion, the Baggage Battalion, the Special Operations Brigade, and the companies directly under each regiment, the field hospital, and the wounded soldiers and brothers to Jinzhai County.

There is a big family surnamed Hou in Jinzhai County, because there were people who had been big officials in the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, the Hou family relied on their family power and began to forcibly seize land in Jinzhai County, and constantly annexed land.

After more than 100 years of accumulation, it has finally become the richest and largest family in this county and even several surrounding counties.

Today's Hou family is here, and it belongs to the behemoth that stomping on the feet, and the entire Jinzhai County is about to have an earthquake.

Within a radius of several hundred miles, basically no one dares to mess with it.

Even if they are mixed up on the road, or the surrounding mountain bandits, they have to respectfully give way when they see the Hou family.

It's just that those who are familiar with the history of the Hou family know that the prosperity of the Hou family is based on the separation of hundreds of wives and families in Jinzhai County!

Several generations of the Hou family can be said to have owed a lot of blood debts and committed unspeakable crimes!

In ancient times, it was not an exaggeration to even copy all the doors!

However, because Jinzhai County is located in the hinterland of Dabie Mountain, the sky is high and the emperor is far away.

The wealthy and powerful Hou family controls the government affairs and military affairs of the entire Jinzhai County.

It can be said that the Hou family is in Jinzhai County, which is the existence of the soil emperor.

The current patriarch of the Hou family is named Hou Rongcheng.

There are two sons, the eldest son, Hou Wangshan, is the county magistrate of Jinzhai County.

The second son, Hou Hao, is the captain of the Jinzhai County Security Brigade.

And Hou Wangshan's son, who is also Hou Rongcheng's eldest grandson, Hou Shaotao, is a scumbag.

He bullies men and women, and he does almost all kinds of evil!

even takes killing people as fun, and often destroys humanity in front of others and spoils other people's wives and daughters.

In Jinzhai County, as long as it is the woman that Hou Shaotao has a fancy for, whether she is married or unmarried, he will take a group of lackeys to snatch it back, and when he has had enough, he will also give his lackeys a good time together.

In the end, I got tired of playing, so I either killed these women or sold them into the Qinglou to make money.

It's not that the local people haven't thought about reporting to the official, but Hou Wangshan, the county magistrate of Jinzhai County, is Hou Shaotao's father, and the security captain of Jinzhai County is Hou Shaotao's second uncle.

Moreover, the Hou family also has a very strong relationship at the top of the Republic of China.

Therefore, when the people report to the officials, not only can they not seek justice, but they will also be subjected to the crazy revenge of the Hou family, and the family will be ruined and their wives will be separated.

If it's worse, you will directly destroy the door!

The cruelty of the Hou family is as good as that of the Japanese devils!

Although the people of Jinzhai County complained, they only dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

As a result, in the end, many people chose to flee from this demonic land.

On this day, the Tiger Ben Regiment pointed at Jinzhai County.

Hou Shaotao, this guy, also took a litter of canine teeth to a village called Yangjia Village in the west of the city to rob a young folk girl he had taken a fancy to a few days ago.

This folk girl's name is Yang Xiaohong, who has just turned eighteen, with fair skin and a beautiful face.

His father Yang Yunzhao was worried that his daughter would be poisoned by Hou Shaotao, so he kept Yang Xiaohong at home and almost didn't dare to go to the road.

But that's it, Yang Xiaohong was still discovered by Hou Shaotao's minions and reported to Hou Shaotao, a hungry ghost.

However, Yang Yunzhao, the father of this folk girl, is a very famous hunter in the local area, not only has outstanding fist and foot martial arts, but also has practiced a set of ancestral Yang family marksmanship.

Hou Shaotao sent his men to rob him several times, but he failed to succeed, but was beaten by Yang Yunzhao.

Of course, it doesn't mean that the Hou family has no way to take this Yang Yunzhao.

Rather, every father has a dream of his son becoming a Chan.

For example, whether it is an illiterate nouveau riche or a gangster leader in mixed society, he does not want his children to follow the same path as him, but will send them to study and become literate people.

The Hou family is no exception, whether it is Hou Rongcheng or Hou Wangshan, they are very unsupportive of Hou Shaotao's practices, and hope that he can go to school well, enter the upper class, and carry forward the Hou family.

Instead of nesting in Jinzhai County, a small place in the poor countryside, and becoming a bully.

Naturally, it is impossible to come forward to help him rob the people's daughters.

For this reason, Hou Shaotao also suffered a lot of beatings!

However, he had a mother who loved him so much that no matter how big the mistake he made, her mother would help him out.

……

Many people, for the more they can't get something, the more they want it.

Hou Shaotao is no exception.

The more he can't get Yang Xiaohong, the more unwilling he becomes, and he can't even be interested in other women.

But his mother Yao was worried.

Seeing that his son didn't eat well and didn't sleep well.

So, Yao gave Hou Shaotao an idea and asked him to pretend to give up on his face in order to paralyze Yang Yunzhao.

Then he secretly sent people to lurk outside Yangjia Village to monitor Yang Yunzhao's every move.

Yang Yunzhao's family needs to live, in addition to farming, they also have to rely on hunting in the mountains to subsidize their living needs.

Therefore, Yang Yunzhao naturally can't stay at home every day.

After guarding at home for a few days, Yang Yunzhao relaxed his vigilance and went out into the mountains to hunt with bows and arrows, hunting knives and other weapons and equipment.

Upon learning of this good news, the heart-wrenching Hou Shaotao gathered a group of subordinates, swaggered and rode to Yangjia Village, and openly began to rob the woman.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the reconnaissance company and the 1st Battalion led by Wang Dali and Bi Yuntao happened to pass by.
