The eldest grandson Wuji will come to borrow people, Sun Xiangfu expected it early on, and learned that Sun Xiangfu would send two-thirds of the students to Yunnan and Heishui to do things, the eldest grandson Wuji felt a little ashamed, his own pattern was a little smaller after all, and he only cared about his own political achievements, but did not think about the needs of the country.

The gap between the rich and the poor is large, it is easy to have contradictions, before the wealth of Jiuyuan County, so that many people in other places were not convinced, and then they were used by the family to do things, in the future, there will be such contradictions, or the contradictions continue to deepen, there will still be problems.

"Then, there are still 100 people left, and they are all kept for me Shannan Dao!" After listening to Sun Xiangfu's farming promotion plan in Yunnan and Northeast China, the eldest grandson Wuji said again.

After a period of supplementary training, some of them will form several inspection teams to go to all parts of the country to do a lot of agricultural investigations, what crops, where is the most suitable for planting, where are the local specialties suitable for expansion and development, some can be used for edible, medicinal, or industrial crops, which have not yet been discovered and utilized, they have to do some excavation and investigation and research work. There are tens of thousands of plants growing in this world, and only by understanding them can we maximize their role.

However, the eldest grandson manager does not have to worry, Shanyang Agricultural College, is recruiting students every year, that is, starting from this year, they will have a group of students graduate every year, or a few years, agricultural students will be all over the country, as for the agricultural development of Shannan Road, in fact, I am here, teaching the people some basic and commonly used planting techniques, it is enough, the planting of characteristic cash crops, will also be slowly promoted here, on the table of these dishes, but not the farmers can all understand in a year or two, We have to take it one step at a time. ”

The cultural foundation of the common people is weak, and they can not understand many things to a deep extent, and they can do things obediently at most, which requires enough agricultural backbones to support the whole stall, even in later generations, the state can only set up some agricultural technology support points in various counties and townships, and send experts to help the people better plant crops and avoid some losses, and it is unrealistic to want the whole people to reach the level of agricultural experts.

And the crops and even plant species in this era are also a little different from those of a thousand or hundreds of years later, many natural varieties have not yet appeared, and perhaps, there are rare plants that have been rare or extinct in later generations, but in this era, they can be easily found.

For example, wild ginseng, blood ginseng and other rare plants that are sold at sky-high prices in later generations, in this era, there are very many, and in the case of a better ecological environment, it may not be impossible to ban and protect the places suitable for growth, so that they can reproduce and grow more and produce more.

Of course, Sun Xiangfu mentioned the dishes on the table again, and the attention of the eldest grandson Wuji also turned to the dining table.

"These are all what I can grow in Shannan Dao?" The eldest grandson Wuji pointed to the many vegetables on the table that he didn't know.

Sun Xiangfu nodded and said, "Of course, this is only a small part of it, the okra, turnips, tower vegetables, wuta-tas, red phoenix vegetables, Tong vegetables, etc., which were eaten in the past few months, are all varieties introduced from the Western Regions, Nanzhao and overseas islands, after we planted them, they are very popular among the people.

In addition, does the eldest grandson still remember the greenhouse I used when I raised seedlings in Guanzhong? ”

"Greenhouse greenhouse? The kind of long strips made of bamboo linen cloth? ”

Sun Xiangfu nodded and said, "Yes, it is cold in Guanzhong, and the greenhouse built at that time cannot be too sealed, which can only prevent frost and rain and snow from directly pressing on the crops and damaging the crops, so it is just that at the beginning of the weather starting to warm, the crops are just raised in advance."

But in Shannan Road is different, Qinling helps us block the cold air from the northwest, here is much warmer than Guanzhong, we build a greenhouse here, it can be planted on a large scale out of season vegetables, supply the market. ”

"Out-of-season vegetables?"

Sun Xiangfu nodded and pointed to the cucumbers on the table that were cut into pieces and stewed loach, the salted fish and eggplant pot with pork and salted fish diced in the casserole and the oily flowers that were boiled straight up, and the beans that were fried with oil and meat were added, "Out-of-season vegetables, that is, ignoring the season, in winter, also grow vegetables that grow in summer, think about it, plant these vegetables on a large scale, and supply them to the northern market in this cold winter season?" ”

Before thinking about this problem, the eldest grandson Wuji only thought that using one mu of land to grow about ten stones of grain had already magnified the economic value of the field to the limit, however, this was not the case.

In the past, only the hot spring pool of Jiucheng Palace could grow some vegetables to supply the palace in winter, which was basically a small amount of food for the emperor and his wife, and in the market, even if you had money, you couldn't buy it, and the common people could only eat a winter dried pickled vegetables.

Now, the situation is different, if Shannan Province can grow these vegetables in large quantities in winter, it can completely allow the people in Guanzhong, or some other areas in the north, to eat vegetables in winter.

Because, after the water and land roads are more smooth, it only takes six or seven days to transport goods from Jingxiang to Guanzhong, and it only takes three or four days to go to Luoyang by land, plus the time to take the whole road from Luoyang to Chang'an, it only takes six or seven days, but considering that there may be heavy snow in winter, it is more secure to take the Han water, which will not freeze all year round.

This is a green, watery green! Not to mention the scales, the price will definitely be several times more expensive than the grain, at this moment, the eyes of the eldest grandson Wuji are shining with a golden light, if he eats all the out-of-season vegetables in Shannan Province in one bite, the profit is ······

Sun Xiangfu directly interrupted the fantasy of the eldest grandson Wuji, and said, "Out-of-season vegetables, although the output value is high, but the investment is not small, if the eldest grandson wants to do it, not only must find a suitable area, this start-up capital, I'm afraid it is also a lot." ”

The cost of building a breeding shed of 10,000 acres in Xingfu Village was as high as hundreds of thousands of yuan, one acre of land, with bamboo strips, as well as thick linen, and forage that can almost be used to build the roof, covering it all, at least spending several dollars on the cost of raw materials, and, in order to ensure that it can receive some photosynthesis, when there is sun in the afternoon at noon, the roof of the shed will be lifted manually, which will consume a lot of labor costs.

"Money, my eldest grandson has it, and even if our eldest grandson can't manage it, there are still many people who want to rush over to invest, you say, if I let each county specialize in the cultivation of the same out-of-season vegetables, can it be as big as the output when vegetables are planted in normal seasons?"

Sun Xiangfu replied, "It's basically not bad, this kind of greenhouse planting, there are almost no insect pests, and the vegetables grown may be better than those naturally grown in the normal season." ”

"In this way, that's great, after the spring ploughing of the beginning of the year, I organized all the states and counties along the Hanshui to start preparations, and after the autumn harvest, I began to plant this out-of-season vegetables, with this industry, I believe that these states and counties to achieve free medical care, education and pension for all, it will not be a problem." Eldest Sun Wuji rubbed his hands a little excitedly.

It would be great if the people of Shannan Province could be pushed to the point of enjoying these welfare guarantees during their tenure, but this is impossible, Shannan Province is in the northwest, it is relying on the mountains of Shuzhong and Guanzhong, and it is not so good for development, as long as most of the areas can be pushed to the point of having these guarantees, it is also a merit that no one dares to imagine, after all, even if it is Guanzhong now, there is only an industrial city in Weinan, and such a guarantee has been achieved for migrant workers.

"The planting of this out-of-season vegetable is not a difficult task for the graduates of the College of Agriculture, there are 30 people, enough to arrange many types, but it is necessary to divide the varieties to each place according to the actual conditions, and then go to the plantation in Jinan County to introduce it, among them, there are still some expenses, which have to be paid by investors, and it should be regarded as funds to support agricultural planting research."

The eldest grandson Wuji nodded and said, "This is as it should be, according to the old man's view, a higher cost standard must also be formulated, these agricultural students are all talents, they need to have a matching income, all kinds of agricultural planting research, time-consuming and laborious, investment can not always let your family bear, who earns, who pays, is the right reason." ”

"That said, I don't want agriculture to be just my family's home study, everyone invests in it, everyone reaps it, it's the way to the long term!"

Seeing that Sun Xiangfu and Eldest Sun Wuji had happily decided, Li Ke and the others immediately reacted, "Then our side?" ”

"On your side, I will arrange a few people to go, however, the two states of Yingfu are still mainly planted with rice, after all, your two states are where the whole territory can be developed into fields, and if you do a good job in these industries of the Jiuyuan Chamber of Commerce, it will be enough for the local people to be rich, Suizhou, I will transfer Mei Niang to the past, and Fuzhou, let Wang Qiao take over."

If you organize the people under your rule and build the fields under your rule, then wouldn't the laborers from the north be able to go to other poor places to complete more construction projects, so that the local output will increase and the people will become rich? There are 150,000 households in Yingzhou! There are also 80,000 households in Fuzhou, and there is only one county in Fuzhou that has not been completed. ”

"Hahaha, Zhengming is right, you two can't let the people under your rule be idle for a winter, tomorrow the old man will go to the order, transfer the labor in the north to other regions, let you organize the people under your rule to take over the land, before the spring ploughing begins, you can each complete the project of the county that has been half built under your rule, and the old man will report to Your Majesty to remember your work." The eldest grandson Wuji answered with a laugh.

The northern laborers have already completed more than half of the construction projects in Jingling County in Fuzhou and Qianjiang County in Yingzhou, and although Li Ke and his colleagues only have more than a month to do now, as long as they mobilize enough people and continue to work on the construction site, they can also complete it.

If the eldest grandson Wuji transfers all the northern laborers to Songzi in Jingzhou and goes to the two counties of Yangyang, it is possible that the construction of the forts in these two counties will be completed by April next year, and by then, there will be 10 counties in the entire Shannan Province to complete the construction of the embankments, and the area of high-yield rice cultivated land will exceed 15 million mu, surrounding the entire Jiangling City for hundreds of miles.
