Chapter 58: The Foundation I

Every autumn, September and October of the lunar calendar are the grain harvest seasons in the four counties of Liaodi. Especially at the end of last year, Liaodi had just established Jilin County and Liaobei County, so this year's autumn harvest is of greater significance to the four counties in Northeast China.

This era is an era of paying attention to the mandate of heaven, and food is even more important. If in the territory under the jurisdiction of Ji Kang, grain production is bumper every year, this will have a great impact on the psychology of all the people. According to Mr. Zou Yan's words, this is the destiny of heaven. If you want the people not to support you, it's impossible.

The experimental field of Xiangping College has increased from the original 3,000 mu to 6,000 mu. However, due to the increase in instructors and trainees, the harvest time is shorter.

Ji Kang and Shi Kang, Tian Guang, Ju Wu, Qin Wuyang and other friends finished harvesting an acre of land. They all sat down in the shade of the trees at the edge of the fields and rested for a while.

Ju Wu looked at the gentlemen and students who were still busy harvesting in the experimental field, looked at Ji Kang happily, and said: "Childe, it seems that this year's grain harvest in Liaodi is a foregone conclusion, I don't know how the grain in Jilin and Liaobei counties is?" ”

Ji Kang said with a smile: "The news from some time ago said that the grain crops are growing well. The results will not be counted until the harvest is completed. Since this year's policy in Jilin and Liaobei counties is also the policy of our Liaodi two counties, it should also be a bumper harvest year, and there is no big problem. ”

When Ji Kang's friends in the academy heard this, they all rejoiced.

By the middle of October of the lunar calendar, the results of the autumn harvest in the four northeastern counties were all counted. Sure enough, as Ji Kang expected, this year, the grain in the four counties of Liaodi has obtained an unprecedented bumper harvest, and the official warehouses of various counties, counties, and villages are full of wheat, soybeans, sorghum, and other grains.

Ju Xin, Zou Yan, and Lu Zhonglian, three old gentlemen, after seeing the statistics. hurriedly ran to the prince's mansion and came to report to Ji Kang.

Xiangping City Prince's Mansion, Secretary Pavilion.

Ju Xin touched the snow-white beard under his chin and said to Ji Kang: "Son, in addition to the continuous increase in grain income in the two counties of Liaodong and Liaoxi this year, even the grain in Jilin and northern Liaoning has also received a bumper harvest. Especially in the two newly established counties of northern Liaoning and Jilin, the average yield per mu in the first year reached more than 400 catties, which is too important for my Liaodi, which is really gratifying! ”

Before Ji Kang could speak, the old man Zou Yan said excitedly: "What's more, because this year, on the basis of Quyuan plow, the four counties of Liaodi have promoted two new agricultural tools in government-run farms, and the sowing area has been greatly increased. Now I know that the sowing area of my Liaodi this year has reached more than 20 acres per person, and there will be more next year, which is amazing! It's amazing! ”

"Especially this year, we have promoted two new fertilizers developed last year in the four counties of Liaodi. Childe, two old friends, do you know what that means? ”

Without waiting for everyone to reply, Zou Yan said excitedly: "It is no exaggeration to say that the emergence of new farm tools and new fertilizers can be said to be a great event that has changed the entire world's agriculture. If it is promoted, how much food will this increase? How many more people will you feed? ”

Zou Yan, the greatest agricultural scientist of this era, is so excited about the two new agricultural tools are the eight-ox plough and the columb, and the two new fertilizers are the earth-made fertilizers - earth-made ammonia and earth-made ammonium sulfate.

The eight-ox plough and the cocoon cart mentioned by Zou Yan are briefly mentioned in the textbooks in the history of Chinese machinery that Ji Kang learned in college in his previous life. I only remember that a teacher said at that time that in the era of Chinese agriculture, the inventions and creations of Quyuan plow, eight-ox plow, and cocoon were not less valuable than the "four major inventions" such as gunpowder and papermaking, which made Ji Kang remember deeply.

Therefore, after coming to this era, under the current situation of extremely low productivity, what Ji Kang has to do is to realize the most brilliant and great inventions and creations of Chinese civilization in the agricultural era in advance. After nearly two years of research by the Liaodi Farm Tools Research Institute, these two farm tools were finally created at the end of last year.

And home-made ammonia and home-made ammonium sulfate, Ji Kang, who was born in a farmer and served as the head of a township in his previous life, had too much contact and was no stranger.

The formula of soil ammonia: 50 kg of fresh cow dung, 50 grams of soybean powder, 5 kg of cooked gypsum powder, sealed and placed below the temperature of 25 degrees for three days, applied with three times the water, and the fertilizer efficiency is higher than that of ammonia.

The formula of ammonium sulfate in soil: 50 kg of human urine, 5 kg of plaster, 25 kg of water, mix and stir well, apply after 10 days of closure, and the fertilizer effect is equivalent to ammonium sulfate.

These two kinds of soil-made fertilizers were successfully tested in the experimental field of Xiangping College the year before last, and fertilizer factories were built in industrial zones in various counties and counties in Liaodi. Last year, it was comprehensively promoted at a low price in eastern and western Liaoning, and a large area of bumper harvest was obtained. This year, it has been comprehensively promoted in the four counties of Liaodi, which has shocked and excited the people of the two new counties of northern Liaoning and Jilin.

Lu Zhonglian smiled and said: "In this way, the annual grain output of the four counties of Liaodi is more than enough to supply the people of the entire Yan Kingdom every year. ”

"And with the passage of time, the grain produced in the four counties of Liaodi in the future, as Gongzi said, will supply everyone in the world in the future, and it will no longer be a dream. It's really embarrassing that the old man can see such a grand scene during his lifetime! ”

Hearing Lu Zhonglian say this, both Ju Xin and Zou Yan also had red eyes. In this era, we all know how difficult it is to be able to do this!

Seeing this, Ji Kang said in his heart, what is this? In the previous life, there was a saying that "the Northeast is ripe, the world is full", but you must know that the population at that time had reached more than 1.3 billion, almost 1.4 billion people!

Seeing the appearance of the three old gentlemen, Ji Kang comforted the three men with a smile: "Gentlemen, this is just the beginning. The four counties of Liaodi have fertile land, and the population and field potential are very huge. ”

"With the increase in the yield per mu and the enhancement of sowing technology in the four counties of Liaodi, there will only be more and more grain. Just as Mr. Lu Zhonglian said just now, in the future, the grain of my Liaodi will not be supplied to the entire Yan country, but the entire Central Plains countries, so what is there to fear! ”

When everyone heard this, they all nodded.

Immediately, Ju Xin said with emotion: "Childe, the new fertilizer used in my Liaodi is now only produced by the fertilizer factories established in the four counties of Liaodi, and the formula and the entire process flow are only known by special personnel. The fertilizer produced is also sold to farmers at an extremely cheap price, and we have kept this secret. ”

Immediately, his face was a little ugly and said: "But the Quyuan plough that was originally promoted in my Liao has gradually spread to the areas close to the four counties of my Liao Di, and I don't think it will take a few years, and all countries will use this Quyuan plow for farming." ”

"Fortunately, the current Agricultural Tools Research Institute has launched eight oxen plows and cocoon carts, and now the government is vigorously promoting these two new agricultural tools in the government-run farms in the four counties of Liaodi."

"In this way, it will inevitably increase the number of acres sown in my Liaodi several times. These two tools are more complicated, and the old man plans to promote them only in the official offices of my counties and the reclamation corps, and cannot be passed on. ”

Ji Kangxin said that now due to the inconvenience of geography, transportation and communication, except for the government of Liaodi, the government of other countries does not have the awareness of this kind of technology promotion, and it is all used spontaneously by farmers.

The farm tool of the Quyuan plough has not yet been transmitted to the countries of the Central Plains, but it seems that it is coming soon. Alas! This is also a helpless thing, the Quyuan plough itself is relatively simple! Generally, carpenters and blacksmiths can find cats and draw tigers and make them after reading them.

With a smile, he said to everyone: "This Quyuan plough has a simple structure, and we have promoted it on a large scale in Liaodi, and it cannot be kept secret. However, the eight-ox plough and the columb's cart are different, and the technology is more complicated. ”

"However, as the drama says, these two new agricultural tools will be temporarily made in the farm tool factory, and then numbered, and distributed to the county farms and reclamation corps for use, if there is any loss or damage, report it immediately, and be sure to pay attention to confidentiality."

When everyone heard this, their faces became serious.

Lu Zhonglian said with a solemn face: "Son, two old friends, the current food, all countries are short of food. Grain is a strategic material for all countries, and if these two agricultural tools and two new fertilizers are transmitted to other countries, especially the Qin State, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

"The four counties of Liaodi must cooperate with the new "household registration law" to comprehensively manage, and we cannot pay too much attention to the flow of people and the use of new agricultural tools and fertilizers within the jurisdiction."

Zou Yan looked at the crowd: "This year's autumn harvest in the four counties of Liaodi, especially the two counties of Jilin County and Liaobei that were newly built last year, have all received a bumper harvest of grain. It means a lot! This means that Kang'er's foundation in these four counties is solid. These new farming tools and fertilizers must be promoted if they are to be promoted, but this will have to wait until the ...... of Childe."

Speaking of which, I subconsciously didn't continue. Several people in the audience understood what he meant, and they all laughed.

Seeing this, Ji Kang sighed in his heart, and said in his heart: "Even if you don't want to go forward now, you can't do it, and everyone will push you forward!" This is no longer something that can be stopped by one's own will!

What we must do in the future is that we absolutely cannot and will not allow any country to take the lead in launching an attack on the four counties of Liaodi. Last year's tripartite expedition to Liao, the kind of passive, helpless and even helpless scene brought to Ji Kang made Ji Kang unforgettable! Nothing like this can and must not be allowed to happen in the future, and it cannot and cannot be! Ji Kang looked at everyone and secretly made up his mind in his heart.

But there is one thing, Mr. Zou Yan is right. In this era, the common people are more particular about "the people take food as the sky". It is impossible to feed and clothe the people in your own territory, and you want the people not to support you and love you!

With the bumper grain harvest in Jilin and Liaodi counties this year, it has brought "color" to Ji Kang itself, no less than last year's Liaodong War. The saying that stars fall from the sky is recognized by more and more people.

The legitimacy of Ji Kang's rule was then highly recognized by the people of the newly established Jilin and northern Liaoning. That's why Zou Yan and the other three gentlemen will say that Ji Kang's foundation is stable!.
