Han Shizhong wanted to find Qin Mu, but he couldn't find his people at all.

Qin Mu had already come to Yongbian at this time. It has now entered March of the fifth year of Xuanhe, and it is the season of cotton planting. Therefore, Qin Mu could only leave the work at hand and come to Yongbyon again.

Cotton planting, no one knows it except him, although Qin Mu is not a farmer, but he has seen cotton before.

In the 21st century, Qin Mu specially went to the Agricultural University to consult experts and professors, and now he is a half-talented agricultural talent.

Cotton cultivation, or the cultivation of most crops, is temperature-dependent. If the temperature is not suitable, the plant will not grow well.

The temperature situation in the Hetao region cannot be relied on in later generations, after all, it was thousands of years ago.

Qin Mu could only divide all the cotton planting bases into three pieces and planted cotton in three batches at intervals. This basically guarantees that at least one batch will grow well.

Based on the knowledge of later generations, Qin Mu taught the technicians of the Agriculture and Forestry Bureau how to grow cotton.

Agriculture and forestry are separate in the later generations, but in this time and space, Qin Mu does not dare to ask for extravagance, and the agriculture and forestry bureaus of the three cities of Hetao add up to only a dozen people, which is already all that can be provided to him.

But having is better than nothing, and a dozen is better than one. The cultivation of agriculture is not high-tech, and there is nothing too high-tech.

The real high-tech content of agriculture is all in the industrial field, and the field of science and technology, such as breeding, such as water conservancy construction, really comes to the part where farmers farm the land, and there is not much difference between planting cotton and planting other things.

Qin Mu came to Ningbian to plant cotton, and more importantly, to engage in water conservancy construction.

Cotton growth requires a lot of water, and without adequate irrigation, cotton does not grow well.

At the same time, Qin Mu, or the Zhi family, faced a very huge trouble, that is, Li Yan personally came to Fuzhou.

Li Yan is Zhao Ji's confidant eunuch, and now he is promoting the Xicheng Office and managing the public land in the world, what he is doing in Fuzhou is self-explanatory.

Originally, Zhao Ji was going to attack the Zhe family, or at least to knock the Zhe family, but at this time, there was a rebellion, and Zhang Tianshi came forward and carried most of the matter away at once, which temporarily lifted the crisis on the head of the Zhe family.

But in the face of Li Yan, he can't be lazy.

He now understood Qin Mu's strategy very well.

It's easy to destroy, but it's hard to build. If he were the same as before, with such an armed force as the Guards Regiment, he would want to rebel anytime and anywhere. Even rebellion is not the goal, and there is nothing to praise for taking down Bianliang City.

Only by destroying the Jin Kingdom, Western Xia, and Tubo can this be regarded as living up to this life.

But now I understand a truth. What if you just knock down all these places? Isn't the world the world still the same? Didn't the people live as they used to be?

In that case, what is the difference between the Zhao family being the emperor and the folding family being the emperor?

Now that he has become more and more aware of the face of the future world, what he wants to do is to build that wonderful world with his own hands, so he also agrees with Qin Mu's opinion, digging deep holes, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming king.

At least when the cotton grain base is not built, don't fight with the Great Song Dynasty - that would delay the construction too much.

However, Li Yan did not come to Fuzhou to give the folding family time, on the contrary, he came to investigate the situation and find trouble.

Liu Guangshi said that the Zhe family sent troops without authorization and took Yongbyon, is this true or false?

Liu Guangshi also said that a large number of people in Fuzhou and Linzhou have left the country, is this true or false?

Li Yan has to figure this out.

Both of these things are very important, the former involves whether the folder is open without authorization, and the latter involves whether the place is stable.

As a result, it didn't take long for Li Yan to figure out that both of these things were true.

The large number of people from Fuzhou and Lin Prefecture migrated to the Xiahetao area, which was fatal to the landlords of the two states. But there was nothing they could do.

The immigrants who went to Yongbyon before became the best example of this land, and they were already the first group of people to get rich.

Because the rent of thirty percent is really a great benevolent government, compared to the rent of the land that is generally close to six or seven percent in this time and space, it is simply the difference between heaven and earth.

In this way, even if it is impossible to mobilize this year, a large number of tenant farmers will run away. Tenant farmers are not slaves, they ran away, and the landlords really can't help it.

Even if they took the tenant farmers' arrears and went to the local yamen to reason, even if the yamen concluded that they were justified, what could they change?

The yamen could not enforce the judgment at all, because the people had fled abroad. Do they have what it takes to go to Yongbyon and ask for someone?

The provisions that cannot be enforced are better than wiping the buttocks.

Now it is not only Fuzhou and Linzhou that have lost a large number of people, but also many peasants under Liu Guangshi of Fengzhou have fled to Yongbyon with their families.

This is like the western development of the United States in later generations, and the people spontaneously ran to the west, because there was a beautiful life there that they could not imagine.

It's a trend that simply can't be stopped. Therefore, as soon as Li Yan arrived in Fuzhou, he received various complaints from large and small landlords. They are looking at the end of the harvest this year – because there is no one to farm.

Li Yan didn't have to doubt the truth of this news at all, because it was none other than the brother-in-law who complained the loudest, it was Yin Kuo.

After Yin Kuo was kicked away, he went back to his hometown directly.

Although it is the overlord of Fuzhou and Linzhou, the Yin family is not bullied.

The combination of warlords and local tyrants has always been the way to survive in this land, and Yin Kuo is not in vain. If you dare to kick me, then wait and see.

Li Yan came to Fuzhou to release the news to check the land situation, and Yin Kuo ran over as soon as possible.

He personally worked as the director of the glass factory in Yongbyon and had a lot of first-hand information, so his report had data and examples, which made Li Yan almost faint when he heard it.

The official's speculation is not only true, but it really can't be true. The Zhe family really did this great rebellion.

They not only defeated Yongbyon, but also desperately emigrated the people of the two states outside the Great Song Dynasty. What is the Zhejia going to do, do you still need to ask?

Li Gang said that the Zhejia family is today's An Lushan, and it seems that it is still small.

The folded family is obviously today's Li Jiqian. On that day, Li Jiqian rebelled from the Great Song Dynasty and established himself in the Western Xia Kingdom.

That's a big deal.

Li Yan hurriedly praised Yin Kuo, calling him "the pillar of the country", and promised high-ranking officials Houlu, and at the same time sent personal soldiers to escort Yin Kuo into Beijing, so that he could tell the official family in person.

Yin Kuo said that this is what he should do. As a citizen of the Great Song Dynasty, he Yin Kuo could not let the rebellious ministers and thieves succeed. There is no need for high-ranking officials, he only asks the official family to issue a holy decree, and it is enough to give him a wife when he is a girl.

For the sake of girlhood, Yin Kuo can do anything, even if he betrays the family.

Seeing off Yin Kuo, Li Yan hurriedly changed into clean clothes. That Yin Kuo's stupidity was simply intolerable to Li Yan. How can there be such a demented person in the world, who thinks that selling his relatives can be exchanged for official praise.

Not to mention that Girls' Generation is not an official family at all, but it really belongs to the official family, what can you ask for a stupid boy from the frontier?

Besides, if the family collapses, can the Yin family still be left alone?

It's stupid.

Li Yan even felt that his clothes were so contaminated with stupidity that he had to throw them away, otherwise he would feel uncomfortable.

If Qin Mu knew about his problem, he would probably tell him sincerely, Eunuch Li, you probably have obsessive-compulsive disorder. It is estimated that it is still in the late stage, and it is very serious.

The situation in Fuzhou and Linzhou is indeed very serious, if it is not serious, Yin Kuo does not dare to complain to Li Yan.

Because the loss of population in these two states is so great that not only small landowners are affected, but even large landowners are affected.

The Yin family, as a large landowner on this land, was the most affected.

This made Yin Kuo's father complain a lot about his son-in-law. Even more on his own such a baby was beaten back, and he had more opinions on the fold.

But no matter how much Lao Yin has an opinion, he will not complain to Li Yan, the eunuch from the palace, it is the old birthday star hanging - it is greasy.

But he is sensible, his son is not sensible, how could Yin Kuo think so much. Besides, he felt that what he was asking for was too much. No matter what you do, you can't rob all the people who farmed for my family.

The heaviest land in this time and space, the Yin family is in the northwest, not in the capital, this concept is even more deep-rooted, especially the people of Bianliang.

There is no land to cultivate, there is no food, and this is the real death. What kind of glass kerosene, can you eat this thing?

Yin Kuo didn't know what the eldest brother-in-law was crazy about, was this going to starve all the big and small landlords to death?

In fact, he guessed correctly. That's what I want. However, this plan was not something that could be imagined, but Qin Mu's idea.

Only 30% of the land rent is collected in the Lower Loop area, which is sure to attract a large number of immigrants. Of course, the first year will be difficult, your own preparation will be poor, and the number of immigrants will not be too large, this is a new thing, it will take time to be accepted, and it will take time for the news to spread.

But in the next year, there will be a large number of immigrants.

The population is so much, there are more Xiahetao, and there are fewer places in Fuzhou. This inevitably leads to the fact that there is not enough population in Fuzhou to farm. The direct consequence of this is not only that the grain in Fuzhou will be greatly affected, but more importantly, the landlords will go bankrupt.

It only makes sense when the land is productive, and the wasteland does not grow anything, so should the landlord hand over the land to the government?

The emperor wants food, not soil. However, the government only deals with the landlords for grain, and will not personally entangle with the peasants of every household.

The so-called imperial power does not go to the countryside, and at this time it reflects the two-facedness.

In the past, the landlord and squire could use the power of the government to fish and meat in the countryside. But now that the peasants have all gone, they have no one to fish and meat, and the imperial power does not care about this, he still has to manage the main grain of the land. In this way, the landlord can only use the savings of the past years.

If it's not enough, or if it's not, then you'll have to wait to die.

According to the calculations that can be sought, the small landlords will definitely die on the summer grain, and when it comes to the autumn grain, it is estimated that the big landlords will not be able to withstand it.

In this way, the land in Fuzhou can only be sold cheaply, and the folded family can buy a large number of them at that time. Because they are no longer the big landlords who rely on the fields for food, but the capital power that makes a fortune by industry.

Money, the folded family has.

This was exactly what Qin Mu needed.

Qin Mu needed a lot of land to grow crops. And the land is all concentrated in the hands of the landlord, which is very unfavorable to himself, and he can't even carry out Qin Mu's real plan at all.

In fact, as soon as industrialization began, mechanized farming became possible as soon as the internal combustion engine was developed.

In later generations, China could not engage in large-scale mechanical planting, because there was too little arable farmland and too many people.

The United States does not have this problem. Therefore, their farms of thousands of acres and tens of thousands of acres do not need many people.

The current Great Song Dynasty is just similar to the American imperialism of later generations, with a vast land and sparse population.

Bianliang has a population of only one million, this is the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, think about how many people can there be in the whole country of the Great Song Dynasty? You must know that the capital of later generations is in the order of tens of millions of people.

Since the situation in this time and space already supports mechanized farming, there is no reason why Qin Mu should not engage in it.

The power of mechanized farming can be known only by looking at later generations. If it weren't for the protection of their own agriculture by individual countries, the grain of US imperialism would have brought down the whole world.

This speaks volumes about the horrors of mechanized farming.

Qin Mu needed to increase the yield per mu and the total amount of grain in the shortest possible time, so as to support his huge plan.

Therefore, bankrupting large and small landlords is almost the way to go.

On the way to success, there will inevitably be countless sacrifices, and Qin Mu is helpless about this.

It's just that Yin Kuo dared to go to Li Yan to directly report Zhe Keqiu, which made Zhe Keqiu and Qin Mu not expect.

"This matter ......" Qin Mu was also very surprised when he heard the news. Yin Kuo, the brother-in-law who can ask for it, went to Li Yan to tell the truth, this matter is ......

"Merit, it's okay, just leave this matter to me." When he received the news, he was only surprised for a moment, and then calmed down.

The Fold family has guarded Fuzhou for generations, what kind of people have not seen it, and what kind of things have not been done.

A Yin Kuo, will it make Zhe Keqiu scramble?

Whatever he doesn't deserve the surname "Fold"!
