Chapter 634: The Great Cause of Pig Breeding
Zhou Heng shook his head, how did the old emperor think that he didn't have to worry about it, and he didn't need to ask to know that Liu Renli was making good progress here, after all, Zhang Fuling helped to coordinate, and even if the forces of all parties wanted to interfere, they didn't have the guts.
Especially the last time Boss Xue went back, they also introduced it in detail, and the planting here is very powerful.
Liu Renli also made a separate guarantee agreement, if the two crops are planted and the grains are not harvested, the Tongzhou government will compensate 80% of the wheat produced last year.
As for the newly planted golden potatoes and corn, they are not allowed to be sold by individuals for the time being, and the Tongzhou government will send people to buy them as a whole, and if anyone sells them privately, they will be punished as theft.
So these Zhou Heng are not worried, just wait for the harvest now, and then promote all the harvest as seeds.
In this way, the planting area can be expanded to a single administrative department, or several areas can be selected for experimental planting.
"No, I'm not worried about the two crops we grow, and now we have found a market for straw and scrap, which is also an income.
One of the things I came over today is to see Brother Liu, and the other is to tell you about the farming in the winter, helping farmers and people find some other livelihoods to do, even the old and weak, women and children can complete the breeding. ”
As soon as he said this, Liu Renli suddenly became interested, and stared at Zhou Heng with bright eyes.
After all, the previous two new crops were made by Zhou Heng, and no one believed it at that time, but Liu Renli believed in Zhou Heng's vision, and it seemed that there must be something good this time.
"Tell me more about what you breed?"
Zhou Heng was not in a hurry, and waved his hand to Boss Xue, who walked up to Liu Renli with a food box in his hand and opened it, inside were a few dishes they brought early in the morning, all of which were chilled on the way, and they were already heated up and served with a strong aroma.
"Brother Liu, don't be in a hurry to ask, I don't think you have necessarily eaten at noon, let's talk after tasting it first?"
Liu Renli looked suspicious, and before he could speak, Zhu Yunmo stopped drying, and leaned over to pout with a dissatisfied face.
"I said why are you so stingy, I knew you brought so much delicious food, I just kept my stomach, no, Boss Xue brought me a pair of dishes and chopsticks, I also have to eat some."
Liu Renli looked at it, blinked an eye, picked up the bowl in an instant, and began to eat Haisai in the face of a few kinds of meat, not to mention that he was busy with work and had not used his lunch, and he smelled the fragrance and drooled at this time.
A mouthful of meat into the mouth, chewed a few times, eyes widened, this is not mutton, not beef, although the number of times I eat it, the hot pot has been tasted a few times, the taste is very different, not to mention rabbit meat or other tastes.
The entrance is soft and chewy, not dry or woody, and the oil is very fragrant, and I tasted it carefully again, but I still didn't distinguish it, and quickly put down the chopsticks on another plate of meat with bones.
This time I ate more confused, the bones look a little like horse bones, but the difference between this meat is particularly big, the horse meat fiber is thick, and there is a strong sour taste in the mouth, and the more you chew, the harder it is, not to mention the elderly and children, even adults are difficult to enjoy, and that kind of meat is a sin.
Zhu Yunmo looked anxious, rolled up his sleeves and grabbed the ribs directly and stuffed them into his mouth, Liu Renli knew that Zhu Yunmo didn't dare to stop it, but he could grab it, whoever started this thing quickly could eat more.
Thinking of this, Liu Renli didn't guess what kind of meat this was, after all, he didn't eat or was hungry, he was really hungry as soon as he started, so he didn't say anything, and directly began to rush towards the braised pork ribs and Dongpo meat and the like.
That is, the time of a cup of tea, the four plates on the table, and the small half pot of rice in front of Liu Renli were all swept away, and Zhu Yunmo pouted.
"Lord Liu came to Tongzhou to be the governor, why do you think you are fleeing, black and thin, not to mention, this amount of food is more than four times more than before, right?"
Liu Renli didn't mind at all, patted his round belly, and said with a smile:
"Satisfied, the prince doesn't know, let alone eating meat, it's not easy for me to eat a meal this day, the key is that I really don't have time, I can't tell where it is when it comes to dinner, sometimes it's just a steamed cake and eats it with well water.
I dismissed all the people who served in the house, and it was useless at all, but my clothes were occasionally washed by an aunt, and I didn't stay in the house for a total of twenty nights. ”
Zhu Yunmo originally listened with a smile, but in the end, the smile on Zhu Yunmo's face gradually disappeared, and he stood up and gave Liu Renli a solemn salute.
Such an action made Liu Renli look confused, and he didn't know what the situation was in front of him.
"What are you doing here?"
Zhu Yunmo got up, shook his head and said:
"I just knew before that Lord Liu is a really capable person, but I really saw everything you did, and then listened to your hardships, to say the most high-sounding words, if there are a few more officials like you in Daliang, the economic revitalization that Zhou Heng said is indeed promising!"
Liu Renli smiled, "The prince of the world praised it falsely, Renli has a few catties and a few taels, and he knows that he can't afford this praise, after all, he has enough spare strength, and his ability is limited."
Let's just say that this planting method is feasible in one county or one state, but it is very difficult to promote it to a political secretary, because there is no guarantee that the following governors and county governments can meet our standards to implement, and some things cannot be replicated. ”
Zhou Heng didn't expect that Liu Renli was thinking very deeply, but he did find the key to the problem, and if he wanted to implement a policy or something new, he couldn't just rely on one person's enthusiasm to do it.
We must have our own team, have a certain ability to execute, have certain rights, and more importantly, financial independence, to support the market-oriented operation of crops, as well as a reward and punishment system, otherwise it is difficult to promote it on a large scale.
Being able to feel it by himself is better than him to teach, which shows that Liu Renli really studied these with his heart, which is the way of thinking needed for promotion, and it is most suitable for him to do such promotion.
"Brother Liu, don't worry, you summarized it very well, in fact, these are not problems that cannot be solved, didn't the yamen drive away so many people?
You can recruit people who have excellent knowledge of cultivation methods, as well as people who are good at mobilization, and people who are good at communication, and these people can set up separate departments in the government or be selected from the existing government officials.
For example, there is a special farming department to teach farmers how to grow, and there is also a technical department to teach people how to operate various machinery, and then I will bring the feed processing machine, which can be trained.
Of course, you can also run a school, according to different ages, open different disciplines, do not learn the four books and five classics, learn arithmetic and literacy agricultural technology, to really let these people learn to be useful, if you learn well and have expertise, you can recommend to Beishan, or medical school to study.
In all aspects, you can re-plan the department according to your requirements with the development, and improve the auxiliary function of the yamen, so that the people do not have to worry about food and clothing, and every family has surplus food, and there will be fewer theft disputes.
The real function of the government is not only to try cases, collect taxes, and release grain for disaster relief, these are too one-sided, how to develop a Tongzhou in the future, how to make good use of the canal and waterway, so that the next generation can live and work in peace and contentment, and the workshop and shop can develop better.
Even the squires do not live by deducting rent and taxes, this is a question that the governor and even the political envoy need to think about, and if you want to understand this, you naturally know how to do the departments of the yamen and how to set them up.
Anyway, the emperor has given the right, so change it well, and make a big change in Tongzhou, economic development, build bridges and roads, connect the wharf to Tongzhou City and the capital, so that the farmers are rich, everyone is not short of food and clothing, and children have books to read, which is the real benefit of the party. ”
Liu Renli's eyes widened and he didn't speak for a long time.
What Zhou Heng said touched his heart, he wanted to benefit one party, not to prey on the people, not just to hear the case, complete the tax burden, and give relief in case of disasters, this is just the minimum requirement for officials.
"You're right, when I first came to Tongzhou, I thought in my heart, I don't want merit, but I want no fault, as long as I do my duty and let Tongzhou reduce the number of cases, the people can not close their homes at night, the silver from the spring flood can be distributed to the farmers, and the squire's rent will not be too high so that the people will not be starved to death, so as not to become homeless people and leave their hometowns.
Looking back now, I have been short-sighted in my view of things, since the construction of the canal to control the spring floods, both the people and the local gentry have not trusted me at all.
Then they planted two crops, and one by one they got real money, which they could not have imagined before, after all, eighty percent of the land was previously sloping and wasteland, not fertile land.
After seeing the yield, the summer sowing did not take much effort, according to the promotion measures we designed before, as soon as it was announced, in less than half a month, the planting area of Tongzhou golden potatoes and corn has covered ninety percent.
What is this concept?
That is to say, except for some beans in the vegetable garden, all the rest of the grain is not planted, except for two crops: golden potatoes and corn.
Maybe it's because of the profits, maybe it's because of the fear of those regulations, but no matter how I can complete the planting according to the requirements of the government, I am very pleased.
But listening to you talk about this plan and imagination, all of a sudden I feel that I have a direction, I have always been in a dense fog, although I know how to move forward, but I really want to do it, how to do it or I am still confused, but the burden on my body is getting heavier and heavier, so that I feel breathless.
Not now, I need to think about it carefully, draw up a charter, if Your Majesty agrees, I will start to implement the implementation of the opening of a school, the construction of a road to the capital, the establishment of a feed processing factory, and it is best to build a greenhouse like your Beishan. ”
Zhou Heng stretched out his hand to stop Liu Renli's movements, he was in the mood for it, and he instantly thought of a lot of content from Zhou Heng's proposal, and was stopped by Zhou Heng like this, and was stunned.
"What's wrong?"
Zhu Yunmo shook his head, picking his teeth and swaying his legs beside him.
"Uncle Huang said before, no matter how big or small the affairs of Tongzhou, you Liu Renli are in charge, and you can not follow the laws of the imperial court, what he wants to see is the whole change in Tongzhou after the promotion of two crops, your governance ability.
Isn't it superfluous for you to hand over the fold like this, the specific situation here in Tongzhou, Uncle Huang is not clear, and you will return the final decision, what does this mean? ”
Liu Renli paused, if a Zhizhou opened a school in the local area without authorization, it would not be a small expense to build a road, especially from the wharf to Tongzhou City, and then go straight to the capital.
Boss Xue and the others took too long to go back and forth, because although this pipeline had long been in disrepair, otherwise it would not have been piled up on the road with stones and wooden piers.
Zhou Heng smiled and motioned for Liu Renli to sit down, don't be impatient, after all, this matter needs to take risks, and everything depends on Liu Renli's own thoughts.
"Step by step, you can make a five-year plan, and then divide the five-year plan into parts, do as much as you want each year, so that the goal does not seem unattainable, and even if you need someone to succeed you, just follow the plan.
For example, the pork you just eat, the pig breeding, you can find farmers, a family to raise more and feel that the cost is high, then raise one or two, a village is a lot, if several villages are breeding, then the breeding pigs mating and reproduction, all can be solved by each other.
In the second year, either the pigs were sold, or the pigs were born and reproduced, or the piglets were sold, so that the two years would be a big change, and the butchers might be more, and the price would remain at half of the mutton, and many people would buy some improvements, after all, it was not so expensive, and now they are willing to spend a little silver. ”
Liu Renli kept nodding his head, and he really felt deeply about this.
"Shizi is right, it should indeed be planned well, but everything must start from the present, pigs can be raised, and more should be raised, we can use it as a pilot here, of course, I also hope that you can find a few people who know how to raise it to teach.
You transported the straw before, I looked back and thought about it, in fact, you can also run a semicolon or a feed workshop in Tongzhou, but I don't know, how much is a feed making machine, how many people are needed to operate, how much feed can be made in a day?
After all, this is very close to the garrison of Tianjin Port, if the feed comes out from this side, I think Beishan can also save the cost of transportation, at least give us some processing costs, so that we can hire local people, and the cost of this work will not be less in a month. ”
Zhou Heng laughed, not to mention that Liu Renli's posture of talking about business is really good now, and the few questions he asked are all to the point.
"If there is a link in processing, four people are needed to operate a machine, after all, it requires manpower to operate, as for the handling and mixing of raw materials, as well as the alleviation of packaging, a line needs about ten people, such a line works for six hours a day, and can process twenty stone feed products.
As for the price of the machine, this has not yet been finalized, but you can rest assured that you must be the cheapest in the whole beam, and Tongzhou has just started here, we can ship it to you first, as for the cost of the machine, it will be owed first, and when the silver is abundant, it will be settled. ”
Hearing Zhou Heng say this, Liu Renli's eyes lit up.
"Great, then the more the merrier, I also started to build a workshop here, although it is not as big as yours, but the area is not small, the remaining materials for the canal here are just used, I want to build a conservatory here."
With the introduction, Liu Renli walked to the window, not far from the halfway up the mountainside, and sure enough, he could see the construction people, and although the area of the building was not large, the layout completely referred to the design of Beishan.
"It's very similar to Beishan!"
