The establishment of an agricultural company to intensively manage the land is the agricultural reform program given in the outline of an online writer.

On the one hand, Chen Xian couldn't think of a better way by himself, he didn't study this aspect at all, and on the other hand, Chen Xian also agreed with the plan given by the Internet writer.

For a modern person, intensification and scale are almost synonymous with reducing costs and improving efficiency, which have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and Chen Xian is certainly no exception.

Planting more than 70 acres of land, even if the technology is backward in this era, in fact, it does not need more than 30 people.

After the sowing was completed, Chen Xian left a dozen people to take care of the farmland while using human and animal manure purchased from Dongzhuangzi to "compost" on the northernmost edge of the farmland.

"Composting" Chen Xian saw it in the village when he was a child, and in the database of online writers, there is also simple information about composting.

Chen Xian asked people to level a piece of land at the northernmost part of his field, at the junction with the woods, dig several large pits, spread loess at the bottom of the pits, and then spread crushed wheat straw and weeds on top, spread a layer of livestock and human manure on the wheat straw weeds, sprinkle human urine, pour a certain amount of water, the amount of watering is subject to soaking the wheat straw weeds, and then sprinkle a layer of lime.

The compost can be piled up in layers, and after one layer is completed, you can continue to pile up according to the previous procedure until it is five or six feet above the ground.

After the pile, cover it with thin mud and seal the pile.

After the compost pile is sealed, the temperature and humidity in the pile need to be checked every two or three days.

You can use an iron drill to insert it into the compost pile, let it stand for a period of time and take it out, observe the temperature and humidity, and decide whether you need to add water according to the observation......

Chen Xian had people build a straw shed above the manure pit, and a waterproof ditch and dam were piled around the manure pile to prevent the wind, sun and rain, which led to the failure of the compost.

The other part of the labor was transferred by Chen Xian, and under the leadership of some apprentices, a new house was built in Zhuangzi.

Chen Xian planned to build a row of zigzag houses in the north-south direction of Zhuangzili, dividing the whole Zhuangzi into two, with the zigzag houses facing east and the back facing west, with the houses as walls, separating the west side of the Zhuangzi into a closed courtyard.

This enclosed courtyard will be Chen Xian's barracks, the west side of the barracks is a new factory with a waterwheel, and the north and south sides are the barracks and Chen Xian's residence; On the east side of the courtyard is the back wall of this row of houses to be built, arranged in a zigzag pattern, and the protruding part of the zigzag will also enclose the brick kiln.

Of course, this is a big project, and it is difficult to repair it in a short time with just a dozen laborers and a few mandarin duck squads, but Chen Xian is not in a hurry.

Just when Chen Xian was arranging to repair the house, an apprentice came to report that the injuries of the eight hunters had almost healed, and what to do.

Chen Xian then remembered that in order to let the apprentices practice their skills, he had let them treat more than a dozen seriously injured hunters.

In the end, only eight of the wounded survived, but such a feat was a miracle in this era.

Chen Xian didn't worry about leaving these hunters in Zhuangzi, in case these people had ghosts and came to meet with each other, then he would be miserable.

But these people have been saved, they can't be killed anymore, Chen Xian can't do this thing yet, he thought about it, and ordered these eight hunters to be released altogether.

After releasing the hunter, Chen Xian put this matter behind him because he was too busy.

During this time, Chen Xian was even more unscrupulous through the introduction of apprentices, recruiting young apprentices from Dongzhuangzi, who were over 14 years old and under 18 years old, as long as there was no disability, they would not refuse.

Because he has his own Zhuangzi, Chen Xian's attraction has increased significantly, and in less than a month, Chen Xian has recruited more than 30 people.

After recruiting more than 30 people, Chen Xian found that he might not be able to continue to recruit suitable apprentices in Dongzhuangzi.

The entire Dongzhuangzi has a population of only more than 4,000, and there are only more than 200 young men between the ages of 14 and 18, Chen Xian has recruited more than 130 people, and there are nearly 100 people left, either the children of the Yang family, or the family is well-off, and it is impossible to come to him as an apprentice, or they already have some kind of livelihood, and some people are even married and have children, so it is difficult to recruit them.

In other words, if Chen Xian does not change the recruitment conditions, his recruitment potential in Dongzhuangzi will be gone.

But changing the recruitment conditions to expand the scope of recruitment, it is not suitable for him, the age is expanded downward, the recruited people are too young, temporarily not needed, expand upward, first, with the expansion of age, the difficulty of brainwashing will increase, moreover, the vast majority of people over the age of eighteen have their own livelihood, many have married and had children, it is difficult to recruit, the older you are, the more so.

He recruited fourteen or fifteen-year-old half-grown children, which would not have an impact on the existing industrial ecology of Dong Zhuangzi, and the Yang family and the Bai family did not feel any threat, so they did not react much, if Chen Xian recruited adults on a large scale, he would definitely compete for labor with the existing industry of Dong Zhuangzi, and it would definitely wake up the Bai family and the Yang family.

In fact, neither the Bai family nor the Yang family knew that Chen Xian had recruited apprentices for more than a hundred years, and if he knew, he would have to be scared to death.

Because Chen Xian except for the first two recruitments, after that, they were all introduced to each other through apprentices, and secretly absorbed little by little, except for the people who are now in the new Zhuangzi, outsiders don't know that there are already so many young apprentices in the new Zhuangzi.

Even the people in the new Zhuangzi, except for the apprentices, could not count, and it was difficult for them to distinguish the specific difference between sixty and one hundred and twenty.

At most, the people in the East Zhuangzi will feel that there are fewer idle young people in the Zhuangzi, and without a thorough and careful investigation, no one can say how much is missing.

After some calculations, Chen Xian decided to take a long-term view, and extended the recruitment age down for two more years, recruiting some apprentices at the age of twelve or thirteen, although they are not useful for the time being, but they are obedient and easy to manage, and they are easier to brainwash, as long as they are raised for two years, they are good seeds.

Hearing that Chen Xian was going to recruit twelve or thirteen-year-old children, the bitter haha in Zhuangzi took the initiative to send the children to the door.

Although Chen Yuanwai said that apprentices under the age of 14 can't work, only take care of food, and don't pay wages, but as the saying goes, half a child, eat poor old man, children at this age are when they grow up, the amount of food is huge, and someone can help raise it, thank God, besides, Chen Yuanwai is kind-hearted, and the apprentices under him eat for nothing, where to find such a good thing?

In just a few days, Chen Xian recruited more than 70 apprentices who were twelve or thirteen years old.
