Chapter 128: Don't fight local tyrants, divide the land
The mine is far from the river, and the land near it is not suitable for farming, of course! If it is according to the previous method of watching the sky and eating, it is naturally no problem.
But Yang Hao will not accept this low-yield planting method at all, he wants high yield and grain.
There is so much fertile land empty, as long as he is industrious, he does not believe that so much land, even if the yield of grain varieties is low, feeding 18,000 people is not the same as playing.
Yang Hao, the granary of the Sanshu country, has seen that the most important crops are three kinds of crops, millet, several kinds of beans, yellow rice, hemp, these things.
Yang Hao is not a person who is indistinguishable from the four bodies and grains, and the experience of living in the countryside when he was a child can still clearly appear in his mind.
The discovery of beans made Yang Hao excited for a long time, with beans, he thought that tofu had become possible, and in this era, in addition to eating some wild vegetables, he had never seen a real vegetable.
Although tofu is not a vegetable, it is also a dish that has had a profound impact in later generations.
But Yang Hao, who calmed down, gave up the idea of satisfying his appetite, these really expensive foods, if they were wasted in such luxury, he felt that he would be too mediocre to do so.
Only when there is enough surplus of food, its more complex derivative food has the value of existence, and when food is scarce, of course, it is based on filling the stomach.
For those miners, Yang Hao's plan is not to let them cultivate, but not to give them land is contrary to his own policy, so the land that Yang Hao prepared for these miners is very far away from the mine.
When Shao Yan took a leisurely carriage and led a group of mines to a wasteland a few miles south of the city, the faces of the miners became a little strange.
"This area is your future land, two acres of land for one person, how big it is one acre and one will be measured when you will know, you are miners, although the land will be distributed to you, but mining cannot be stopped."
Before Shao Yan finished speaking, there was a buzz in the crowd, and all kinds of complaints and dissatisfaction reached Shao Yan's ears, and he just smiled.
The complaint of these people is nothing more than that this place is too far away from the mine, if you want to plant and mine, there is no time at all, although this land is available, in fact, it is very different from not, and the miners are not stupid, this can naturally be seen.
After Shao Yan ordered the soldiers to calm down the miners, he said: "Your difficulties, the tribe can also understand, don't worry, you are all a part of my Daqi now, you are all members of my Daqi clan, the tribe will not treat you badly, you can't plant this land, but the tribe allows you to rent out the land."
The person who rents the land will pay you the goods as compensation, and the taxes on the land will be borne by the person who rents it.
When you are old or physically inactive enough to work in the mines, you can reclaim your land.
If you think about it, mining in the mines, the tribe will provide you with food, will lend you tools, and it is not much easier than farming.
And some of you reacted the other day and wanted to do more work and get more food.
I can now tell you formally that the Chief has agreed to this.
As long as you complete the daily tasks, the tribe will take care of your full meal, and after the number of tasks is completed, the extra ore you dig can be used to trade for food.
You can disagree and still choose to farm, but I want to warn you that many people in the city are staring at the mines, and there are so many people who are mining, and if you don't do it, there are people who want to come.
”
Yang Hao only told him what he was going to say, and how to say it depended on his own performance, and after saying so much in one breath, Shaoyan was a little dry, cleared his throat, and quietly waited for the choice in these mines.
"Xihe, what do you two think?"
Qian asked his two friends.
"I think what the head of the household said makes sense, the suggestion we put forward, I think the chief heard it, if it is really said to the head of the household, I still want to mine, I will not farm, and our group of houses will be built soon, I don't want to give up at this time."
The eldest Xihe said in a deep voice.
Qian Hepan was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "I don't want to give up either." ”
"Me too!"
There are many miners who have the same idea as the three of them, but only a small number of people and some people with physical disabilities do not want to continue mining.
Shao Yan didn't demand too much about this, and the departure of this part would not affect the number of people in the mine.
For this kind of heavy physical work, a strong body is the most important thing.
The measurement of the land was carried out very quickly, and Yang Hao only knew that an acre of land in his previous life was about five or six hundred square meters, and he did not know how big it was.
But there is an advantage of this era, that is, there is no unified unit of measurement, which gives Yang Hao a lot of room to operate.
I don't know how big an acre of land is, it's very easy to do, as the leader of Daqi, he said how big an acre of land is.
Yang Hao took himself as the standard, used the distance of his own step as one meter, and set one acre of land as 600 square meters.
Therefore, when measuring the land, in order to reduce his own troubles, Shao Yan basically arranged the acres of land of the Daqi tribe in a rectangle of twenty by thirty.
After each acre of land, Shaoyan asked people to take down a half-meter-long piece of bamboo from the car, and asked the people who were assigned to the land to leave their own unique marks on the bamboo piece, so as to prevent the situation that they could not find their own fields.
And there is a five-meter interval between each acre, this is not Shaoyan's own idea, but according to Yang Hao's request.
Yang Hao didn't explain too much on this issue, but just asked Shaoyan to strictly implement his orders.
Although there was a lot of land in this era, most of it was wasteland, and only a small part of the land at this time was cooked land.
If you want to plant something in the spring, you have to burn the wasteland and clean up the weeds and thorns here.
As for the interval set aside, Yang Hao is naturally planning for the future water diversion and irrigation project, as long as he can increase grain production and improve his situation and quality of life, for Yang Hao, the leader of Daqi, who is quite a village, it can be said that he has racked his brains.
There are only more than 100 miners in total, and the conditions are simple, and the measurement of land will naturally not be so accurate.
In one day, everyone didn't care about eating and resting, and before dusk, more than 200 acres of land were measured.
The miners' fields occupy a large area on the north bank of the river, and at sunset, Shaoyan, who was sitting in the carriage, looked at the snow-capped wasteland and those hopeful eyes, and couldn't help but show a heartfelt smile on his face.
ps: Push two books "Cao Cao's Chef", the overhead version of the Three Kingdoms, it is said that Cao Cao is a black straight girl, don't be misled by the setting, this book is not a feminist, the brain hole is quite big, and it is currently Sanjiang.
