Chapter 658: The Task of Graduating Freshmen from the College of Agriculture

The restructuring of Guanzhong, caused a great sensation, the current Datang, is not comparable a few years ago, schools all over every state and county, the people who know how to read have more than one percent, as soon as the news in the newspaper is issued, it will form a heated discussion among the whole people, the most important thing is that after the imitation of the local industry in Jiuyuan County began to do, the whole people talk about politics, it has become a norm, people in Jiuyuan County do this, if ordinary people have good proposals and ideas, they can directly go to the yamen to vote for a letter of advice, and even directly nag with the county order, Therefore, the officials who went to Jiuyuan County to study understood very well and even hoped that this situation would occur, because many good things in Jiuyuan County were thought up by the people. Then, these places took the lead in applying to the imperial court for restructuring.

And for those places where there are enterprises to cooperate in the development of industries, it is even more rapid follow-up, because only if the people can have more energy to engage in industry and commerce, these enterprises and chambers of commerce can make more money, which is their interest appeal, as for the matter of growing food, they think, it is better to leave it to a god like Sun Zhengming to do!

This winter, if Shannan Province opens up a few more counties and spreads high-yield rice seeds to the whole country, there will be any food worries in Datang in the future.

Then, a great agricultural change that broke out in winter, starting from those states and counties that had signed cooperation agreements with joint-stock enterprises, suddenly swept the entire Tang Dynasty, and its momentum was so great and its speed that all the frightened princes of the imperial court pinched a lot of cold sweat.

You know, if there is no war next year, they have not fought for more than five years, and the soldiers who were trained in the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate have been there for more than two years, and all the military generals' official positions have not been promoted, but those civil officials are constantly upgrading under the continuous development and growth of the population of this state and that county, which will make them suffer from pink eye.

Then, the retirement system of military generals and the issue of the Datang Military Academy were finally put on the agenda when the land reform came to an end.

This is not a trivial matter, it was Xiao Yu who proposed the retirement system of military generals, and it was the prince Li Chengqian who proposed the construction of the Tang Military Academy.

Xiao Yu is about to be scolded to death by the military generals, when it comes to age, except for Yu Shinan and Li Jing, who have taken a back seat, there is really no one in the court who is older than him, he actually shouted that he wanted to retire the general, so you, the oldest Wenchen, are you going to retire even more?

And Li Chengqian, under the praise of Hou Junji, has been supported by many military generals, because everyone has interests to appeal, the generals, desperately on the battlefield, fighting is a wife and a son, this military academy proposal, but it has been put forward many years ago, but it has not been implemented, everyone knows that this is a place to train reserve military generals for the Tang Dynasty, they are waiting to open up, let their children and grandchildren go in to study, and take over their own classes in the future!

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the martial arts prevailed, and the social status of military attachΓ©s was not lower than that of civilian officials, and when there was a war, they could even be a head higher, this was the cultivation of the future successor of power, and the future military attache generals proposed to be trained by the future successors of the Tang Dynasty, the ghosts all know that they will be the military generals who will stand above the court in the future, and now give them a chance to occupy a position in advance, they will naturally raise their hands and feet in favor.

And how to set the retirement age of the generals, and what kind of way to retire, the quarrel in the court class is simply inseparable, no matter what, after this matter is settled, Xiao Yu, who made this suggestion, is probably going to come down from the phase again.

It is the military academy, in the imperial court this year's taxes have been collected, the funds are sufficient, the first to start building, the location is Longshouyuan, the left area of the Daming Palace, here is also a rare piece of clean near Chang'an, few people, just suitable for the military academy with relatively high confidentiality requirements.

Sun Xiangfu in Jiuyuan County, for the news of Chang'an, is a little lagging behind, drinking Laba porridge in the living room, he is looking through the information of Guanzhong's agricultural reform that was fully implemented some time ago.

Just one Guanzhong, 5 million acres of farmland have been returned, and at least more than 30 million acres of fields will be recovered by the imperial court in the whole country, but the speed of nationwide implementation will definitely not be able to be solved quickly in one or two months like Guanzhong, and Sun Xiangfu estimates that it will take at least a year or so to be implemented.

By next year, the cultivated land area of Datang may drop to less than 100 million mu, which is also due to the fact that a lot of new fields will be opened on the side of Anxi Dadu Hufu and Shannan Road.

With less land, solve the problem of more people to eat, this is the new pressure, but, fortunately, the various preparations he made a few years ago, now began to play a role, under the leadership of the Ministry of Agriculture officials, the cultivation level of the people of the Tang Dynasty, have been improved a lot, now, they plant less field area, even if everyone takes care of the field more finely, everyone can almost do it.

There are guests at home today, and there are quite a few of them.

The first batch of students of Shanyang Agricultural College graduated, they know the most scientific planting methods of various common crops, and have a more scientific understanding of plant growth, even if it is not a common crop, they can also take care of it, Sun Deshou except for leaving a part of the people who are suitable for teaching new students in the college, continue to expand the teaching of the Agricultural College, the rest of the people, all by Wang Fu's son, Wang Qiao, a disciple of the agricultural sect, brought to Jiuyuan County, a total of nearly three hundred people.

"Boss, when I came from Chang'an, I went to visit my father, and he told me that Wang Mao of the Ministry of Industry Research Institute has developed a double-winged plough, which can quickly open the soil and mountains into a ladder-like field, I have seen it, and it is really easy to use, but now the people are not willing to plant too much land, and this plow is only useless."

The so-called double-winged plough, Sun Xiangfu has seen its drawings, speaking, the improvement of the plow, he also put forward a lot of opinions to the Ministry of Industry Research Institute, in the era when Sun Xiangfu grew up, want to open terraces, directly have excavators, bulldozers. Therefore, he has never seen this kind of primitive plough for opening up terraces, but his geometric and physical level is not comparable to the people of this era, and it is not so difficult to improve it on the original curved plow.

Only need to be on the wooden plough surface, install two small planks, 15 centimeters long, about six or seven centimeters wide, the thickness has four or five centimeters, in a triangular shape, fixed on the plow, and then use two small moldboards, about half a meter long, more than 10 centimeters wide, with hinges, connected with the small wooden board as a whole, into more than 30 degrees of oblique angle, fix a horizontal wood on the moldboard, support the activities of the moldboard left and right, can drive the ploughing oxen, the slope-like dirt mountain, cut into the flat ground, after use, take down the entire oblique moldboard, the plow is not damaged at all, You can continue to cultivate the land.

"But that's not the case, the people in some places don't want to plant so many fields, but the people in some places think that there are too few fields and not enough to plant, and the reason for this situation is that the land that is naturally suitable for cultivation in our country is not distributed with the people's living places.

For example, Yunnan, now there are two or three million people, a year, to consume more than 20 million stone of grain, but they are full of mountains, there is not so much suitable for farming, the people need to rely on a large number of wild omnivorous to live, and because there are many mountains, the road is difficult, the cost of transporting grain from other places is also high, the cost of freight, first of all, the price of about doubled, and then because of its scarcity, grain sellers want to earn more, so the price of grain over there is higher than twice that of Chang'an.

This is still because the Central Plains produces a lot of grain, and merchants from all walks of life continue to transport it to them, so ah! This plough is of great use in Yunnan, and I would like to allocate at least one-third of your graduates to Yunnan to support their farming. ”

"To Yunnan? Over there, it seems that there are no family businesses that have invested in development in the past! ”

"This is the short-sighted place of those families, they only thought that the next sports conference would be held in Guangzhou City, so they went to the southern coast in a swarm, and for such a wild place as Yunnan, they lack understanding, but they don't know, the land of Yunnan, can be full of treasures, not to mention those medicinal materials that are more expensive than gold and silver, do you know, the tea of Yunnan's real estate?"

"Tea?"

When the students brought by Wang Qiao heard this word, they immediately became interested, because, when they were studying in the College of Agriculture, they listened to the teachers talk about several methods of cultivating tea trees, you know, since the second year of Zhenguan, the north was pacified, and the herdsmen solved the problem of cattle and sheep wintering, the population of the north has multiplied, and it has increased year by year, six or seven years down, it has already grown from the original one million to more than one and a half million, of course, this is only Shanyang, the population under the rule of Dingxiang, counting Tai'an, Shangqi, Wulan, As well as the population of the entire Xueyanta Khanate, there are at least five or six million people in the country alone, who have a strong rigid demand for tea.

Therefore, tea is very expensive and in demand in the northern grasslands, and it is a super high economic value crop, and students from Shanyang know it.

After Sun Xiangfu arrived in Shannan Province, he soon found a local tea-producing area, Junshan. Under his promotion, Junshan silver needle has become a well-known local specialty, and the planting range and yield of tea trees are also increasing.

However, at present, the whole world, Datang is producing tea, and knows how to make it into a variety of unique flavors of tea, even if its current output is expanded ten times and a hundred times, it may not be able to meet the market.

"That's right, it's tea, this thing, not only our local herdsmen need it, the Tibetan Plateau, but also Western countries, all need it, and the economic value it can create in the future is no less than any other cash crop, so we need to study its cultivation as soon as possible, expand its production, and start this industry one step ahead of others."

Hearing this, Wang Qiao said with a smile, "Hearing you say this, our task to go to Yunnan is still very heavy!" It is necessary not only to help them open terraced fields, teach them to grow grain and medicine, but also teach them to grow, pick, and make tea. Such a difficult task, I am afraid that no one else can handle it except me. ”

Sun Xiangfu pointed at him and said with a smile, "You slippery head, it's wrong to think so, I have a lot of use for your batch of graduates, in addition to going to Yunnan in one batch, there is also a batch, I plan to send it to the northeast, Heishui Duhufu." ”

When all living beings heard this, they were all surprised and said, "It's a barbarian land again?" ”

Sun Xiangfu nodded and said, "Well, the internal development of our Datang has entered a track, it only needs time to accumulate, it can get better and better, now, it is time to promote the development of the surrounding remote areas, only when the surrounding ethnic minorities are developed and live a good life, our whole country can be more stable and prosperous." ”()
