Chapter 48: The Plan of the Year Lies in Spring
At this time, the earth's population is only two or three billion, there is no global warming caused by excessive carbon emissions, and the climate is abnormal during the Xiaoice period, this era is really fucking cold! Winter began in October, and after a year with the characteristics of the Han Dynasty, the icy and snowy winter lasted for more than two months.
Fortunately, there is still a time for the ice and snow to melt, and in the third month of the lunar calendar, the weather finally begins to warm up, and the land of Xudu, which has been frozen for half a year, has returned to a simple black from a pale place, and then the earth begins to emerge green again and upgrade.
However, the arrival of spring is not necessarily a good thing for the palace, and Wang Hou's mountain coal and iron mines can only come to an end temporarily, after all, this year, no wealth can compare to grain! Agriculture was the foundation of the country, and even the emperor had to make way for spring ploughing.
Most of the people in the mine were repatriated to the bottom of the mountain, and the 3,000 acres of land given by Cao Cao were divided into seven villages by him.
The coal mine left four or five hundred old and weak to continue digging, this winter there was a lot of coal reserves, and in the spring began to the demand for honeycomb coal heating dropped sharply, and there was no danger of shortage for most of the year, as for coke, large chunks of high-quality coal were piled up into a hill, according to the low production capacity of Wang Hou's blacksmith shop, it would not be a problem to use it for three years.
The iron mine left thirty strong men, and Wang Yuan and other more than a dozen blacksmiths were also left in the blacksmith shop, in this era of salt and iron monopoly, the small iron mine is a rare source of wealth from Mr. Cao, except for this Wang Hou, there is no income, it is really impossible to give up.
And the sword armor of the Wang family is also famous in Xuducheng, half a month ago, a general named Li An under the command of Mr. Cao wore the armor forged by Wang Hou's shop to hunt in the mountains, so that the wild boar arched, the good guy broke three ribs, and the wild boar's teeth were also broken on the armor, and the armor was stunned that not even a hole was broken, and the living example immediately made Wang Hou popular, and the orders were scheduled for next year.
In the spring ploughing, Wang Hou, a traverser from later generations, is also so different from other scholars and landlords, other people's families are directly divided into pieces of land to rent to tenants, and the autumn harvest is done, generally private cattle receive three points, public cattle harvest half, this last days of grain and grass tension, there are also black-hearted landlords private cattle to collect half, public cattle to collect seven points, but Wang Hou is to move his parents and grandparents in the fifties.
Production team!
There are three triangular belts on the left side of the waist, three triangular belts on the right, and three black tube heads are exposed under the triangular belts.
"Brothers, fellow villagers, the plan of the year lies in the spring, spring ploughing is about to begin, but there are unforeseen circumstances, we are this kind of land is to see God's face to eat, once we encounter a natural disaster and man-made disaster, it may be that there is no harvest, this master is the loss of a few acres of crops, but for you, it may be immediately out of food, so this master decided, I will bear this risk! No matter how much grain you receive in the autumn harvest, the old man will admit it, and your harvest will not have to wait until after the autumn, and the old man will distribute it to you according to your work every month! ”
"4,200 people, divided into seven brigades, each team of 100 households and 600 Dingkou cultivate 400 acres of land, each brigade is divided into ten teams, a total of ten production captains are responsible for assigning tasks, calculating centimeters, planting seedlings and transplanting seedlings for an acre of land of 50 centimeters, watering an acre of land for 10 centimeters, weeding 5 centimeters, digging ditches for 10 centimeters, and what specific tasks are reported by each production team to Wang Fuwang's housekeeper to decide! At the end of each month, 100 points of work can be exchanged for one stone of wheat! Ten centimeters can be used to grind noodles in the mill of our Wang family, and there are many benefits, which are also decided by your production captain and Steward Wang! ”
"And in order to motivate everyone to work, in the first month of spring ploughing, my lord and I will directly reward two stones of flour per household! The hoes and shovels of labor are also given free of charge by the palace, folks, more work and more rewards! The more you do, the more you earn, make a fortune, all in your own hands, every hoe, are for yourself, everyone, work hard! ”
The landlord bears the risk of farming, as long as he contributes, it is simply a drought and flood to ensure the harvest, which is in this era, it is simply an unprecedented good thing, listening to Wang Hou's flickering, more than 4,000 homeless tenants from the sixty or seventy old men to the thirteenth or fourteenth small land beans are boiling with animal blood, can't help but excitedly raise the farm tools in their hands, if this momentum is brought to the war, it is estimated that no army in the world can resist such a fanatical attack.
However, listening to the bloodthirsty and boiling roars of the peasants below, Wang Fu on the side was not without concern and cautiously clenched his fists and asked for instructions.
"Sir! If these mud-legged people work day and night, won't they die? ”
"Worried about what? According to the requirements of this master, there are only 50 points of work after plowing an acre of land, and 60 people plough 40 acres of land, and only a few stones of grain can be earned in a month? ”
What is bought is never sold, and the peasants can't fight Wang Hou, the greedy landlord, so he snorted softly without care, facing a few old farmers who were full of excitement and thanked him, Wang Hou was not red and his heart was not beating, and he was encouraging them again.
"Folks, make a fortune and become well-off!"
…………
Before the spring ploughing began, Zhao Laotian of Zhaojia Village and Niu Wanjin of Niujia Village came to the door again, making trouble with Wang Hou for a while.
There are their own jumping into the pit, of course Wang Hou can't help but agree, pretend to take a few pinched gestures, Zhaojia Village and Niujia Village are also divided into two brigades of more than a dozen teams, Wang Hou also gave them a special approval of a bunch of new farm tools, the two happy old men sang praises, but they didn't know how dumbfounded they were at the end of autumn.
In this way, since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Qin and Han dynasties, the production relations have completely changed in Wang Hou's hands, which used to be tenant slavery, but now it has been transformed into another employment relationship.
However, the power of a small change in the relations of production will not be apparent until a few years later.
The efficiency of collective labor is revealed, if in the past, a village of 30 cows, the east borrowed the west family borrowed, scurrying around, the beginning of spring a month may not be able to plough the village's share of the field, but now 30 oxen pull the plough, no matter whose family, a trip to plough the past, the whole land directly a ditch past, after the ice and snow melted only ten days, Xu Du near the other people's fields are still a little bit of ploughing, Wang Hou's ploughing has begun to sow seeds.
But here, a group of old farmers realized how difficult it was for Master Wang's work to get! Other people's cultivators dig up to the surface of their feet, and some of the extensive ones don't even dig the cultivators, and directly lay the seeds, but Wang Hou's cultivators must plow to the depth of the calf, and the seeds are not widely sprinkled, but every thirty centimeters, dig a deep pit, fill the germinated wheat in it, and then bury it with the cultivated soil.
This sowing is going to kill people, and the whole family goes into battle together, and they can't finish sowing an acre of land in a few days.
And the cultivation is not finished, but also have to fertilize, now, Wang Hou ordered to be trapped for a whole winter of the biogas digester is in handy, the biogas produced is now almost burning, under Wang Hou's order, the young people in the village are panting again to dig dozens of hundreds of biogas digester edges, with a big iron spear in the pond wall to dig holes.
Not to mention, after a whole winter of fermentation, these human manure has completely changed at this time, turning into a black and slimy liquid, because the biogas has been burned, and it has long lost the original pungent smell, only a slight smell, which is similar to the silt in the swamp.
It looks inconspicuous, but among them, it is rich in nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, amino acids and other nutrients discharged by the human body, which is said to be more than ten times the efficacy of synthetic fertilizers, and there is no such god, Wang Hou is also the first time to farm, and can only rely on practice to produce the truth, it is said that this thing does not burn seedlings, this head releases the residue of biogas slurry from the biogas digester into a large urn, and the farmer pushes a wheelbarrow specially built for spring ploughing, and transports it to the field. Holding the scoop with his nose, he splashed these natural fertilizers on the ground one by one.
Every seed must be fertilized, so that it takes more than a day to water an acre of land, and the next planting month, five days is to apply once, a month to fertilize, every day to finish the work, go back to look at the small blackboard on the production team leader's dry work, a group of production team members are about to cry.
However, the green vegetables and radishes have their own love, the group of tenant farmers under Wang Hou's command are tired of backache and backache due to intensive cultivation, and there are many complaints, but some people are just willing to eat, Yu Ji Yu old man took his apprentice, asked for a hillside on Wang Hou Mountain, and actually started to cultivate vegetables and grains, and this head of other people's families to receive fertilizer, are pinching their noses as far away as possible from the fertilizer barrel, Yu Ji Ke also, an old face can't wait to block the thin biogas liquid sprayed out, and after a bucket is full, the old guy is also curious to put his index finger in, I dipped my finger, then put it in my mouth and wrapped it, chewing it slowly and tasting the taste of biogas fertilizer.
Not to mention that the faces of the people around him were green, just when Wang Hou came to inspect the biogas tank, seeing this scene, he was sad and angry, and spit out all the noodles and poached eggs he ate in the morning.
People are floating in the rivers and lakes, and there is always a time to return it, and the night fragrance Cangcao has finally been carried to the night fragrance.
Fortunately, the hard work pays off, Wang Hou even disregarded his reputation, poured a winter's dung, in this spring began to quickly show its magical effect, in the middle of March, other people's wheat fields, millet fields have just revealed sparse seedlings, Wang Hou's field has grown a palm high verdant green seedlings, the spring breeze blows, wisps of wheat seedlings stretch their bodies vigorously, this is a refreshing scene, even if the tired sweat drops of the tenants under the soil, occasionally straighten up and take a look, The greenery of the mountains is still enough to soothe their hearts.
It's so beautiful!
