Chapter 558: Two Horses in the Same Groove (5)
The truth of history may be a misunderstanding, which is both hilarious and cruel.
Zhu Pingjin, who thought that he had discovered the truth of history, did not hesitate and immediately discussed the promotion of potato planting.
Potatoes like cold rather than hot, pine rather than tight, wet rather than dry. Potatoes do not pick the ground, fat and lean. Unlike corn, the fertility of the land will not turn yellow as soon as it is exhausted. Potatoes are planted, and they can be planted by digging a palm-deep pit. Unlike sweet potatoes, seedlings need to be cultivated before transplanting.
Regarding potato planting, Zhu Pingjin has rich theoretical and practical experience, so it is natural that he has to dictate a textbook, which is not difficult. The challenge is where to plant, how large, and how to prevent the enemy or potential enemy from following suit.
Luo Yuhong took the lead in proposing trial planting in Tianquan, Lushan, Hanyuan, Yingjing and other counties around Ya'an.
It is a vast and sparsely populated area, and there are conditions for large-scale cultivation. What's more critical is that it is close to Yazhou, the center of the region where the forces of the Shu Dynasty are completely controlled.
Regarding Luo Yuhong's proposal, Zhu Pingjin resolutely opposed. He believes that the ethnic minorities in the southwest are not stable, and that the above-mentioned areas are mixed with Han and Yi, and that once the cultivation areas are uncontrollably expanded to the vast minority areas, the population of the ethnic minorities can increase dramatically in a "geometric progression" in a very short period of time. In the absence of a fundamental improvement in the Ming Dynasty's control over the Southwest Yi, it was extremely dangerous to rashly export potato cultivation technology.
Therefore, he suggested that the plant should be tried at high altitudes in the middle of the Longquan Mountains, where the mountains are high and densely forested, surrounded by Wangzhuang, close to Chengdu and easy to control. We can take advantage of Wangzhuang's unique system to ensure the interests of potato farmers by adopting collective farming, harvesting and handing over, and exchanging grain for grain; The method of intercropping of forest fruits was adopted to prevent risks and reduce the harm caused by the failure of potato harvest; Allowing "toxic" rumors to spread instead of directly blocking them will reduce farmers' willingness to plant spontaneously, thereby slowing down the spread of potato planting technology.
"Okay, it's all up to you, you're a potato politician anyway." Luo Yuhong lost interest in competing with her husband, and replied with a sigh of relief.
But just as her eyes were about to dim, they brightened again, and spewed out a scorching fire:
"The first pilot area was selected in Niujiaozhai! Several villages surnamed Zhang around the village were encircled together......
Since then, the people there have been feeding on potatoes for generations. Bake potatoes in the morning, steam potatoes at noon, and boil potatoes in the evening. Improve the food on the weekend, the old one has no teeth, and have a mashed potato; Children are greedy, have a french fries ......"
The wife's words are yin and yang, but the lethality is quite great, and she is clearly still jealous of the humiliation she did in Niujiaozhai back then.
Zhu Pingjin knew what was on his wife's mind, and silently put her cold hands in his warm palms.
I don't know how long it took, but the dusk of the night gradually enveloped the whole city.
The banks of the river are lit up with many sparkling lights. The mischievous waters crumple the light and try to swallow them up and drown them, but in vain. Because the light had scattered and fled before the river engulfed them, falling into the eyes of a couple who had not been fortunate enough to cross the riverbank.
"Zhu Pingjin, I'm tired."
"Me too. Chicken soup says that there are as many things as there is in the heart. ”
"You are going to give me a high salary and comfort my tired heart."
"I've never heard of the boss and the lady of the boss paying their salary. If it is opened, it must be under three thousand. ”
"Why?"
"Because you can be exempted from paying personal income tax."
The woman smiled.
"My mouth is a little damaged." Zhu Pingjin admitted.
"You eat all by that mouth. However, I also relied on that mouth to marry a daughter-in-law! ”
"Today is our wedding anniversary. Your Chengnan New Town, I'll give you an idea, which can be regarded as a gift to you. ”
"I thought you had forgotten about our wedding anniversary."
"I won't forget it if I changed the plane. In the future, I will find an excuse to let the Dragon Boat Festival have a seven-day holiday, so that the people of the whole country can celebrate our great crossing together! ”
Looking at the curling smoke in the dusk, Zhu Pingjin said softly: "Your four King Kongs are selfish to oppose them together. Hong Qihui is in charge of industry and commerce, and he can't catch it; Wang Kunshan Firearms Bureau, which has little to do with it; Yang Neng manages the Machinery Bureau and is afraid of paying; He Zhutou is in charge of the Construction and Engineering Bureau, and he is powerless. How is the new stock exchange going and when will it open? ”
"The main project will be completed by the end of this month. Completely industrialized building, only the red bricks became green bricks. The big roof is saved, but it is still a bit of a Republic of China style. The main project will be opened as soon as it is repaired, and the annex building and the house of the HKMA will be repaired slowly. After the stock market crash, the wild stock market on Longwangmiao Street became even more chaotic. Wu Jishan said that three people jumped into the river recently, seven people hanged themselves, and three robberies on the street, which seem to be related to the loss of money in the stock market. From the magistrate's point of view, the stock market is a source of chaos, so it is not wrong for him to want to move the stock market out of the city as soon as possible......
"Huitong Bank Run, how much cash have we lost?"
"Not much, just more than a million. As soon as the dirty goods in Chongqing came back, they were all filled...... Why do you ask this? Warning, don't call the idea of Huitong Bank! ”
"Politically suppressing the rebellion will definitely affect the economy. As soon as the economy tightened, dynamism and innovation were lost. Fortunately, the great victory on the battlefield allowed us to successfully cross the catastrophe at one time......
Those who should be arrested were caught, those who should be killed were killed, and the rebellion gradually entered a stable period. There is no major war to be fought for the time being, and we need to refocus on the economy.
The agrarian economy is the foundation, but not the whole story. Our advantage as a traverser is in industry and commerce. What is lacking now is not silver, but confidence, motivation, and the same confidence and drive! You need to recreate the hot spot in the economic sphere and create a situation where all industries thrive, even if you openly disagree with me for that......
When the melons in Meizhou were ripe, I put my hand into Jianchang in southern Sichuan and realized the real unification of the whole Sichuan. As soon as a political-military victory meets an economic hot spot, that's when you can make waves in the stock market......"
"First release some inside information, let the stock critics send red envelopes, and take advantage of the situation to pull the stock market higher! Listing a few more big companies! When the stock market is too hot and wants to be tightened, we will attack those stock commentators, saying that they are liars and disrupting the economic order......"
"There are other ways to build momentum to make this kind of full prosperity of the capital market last longer......
I don't want to turn Sichuan into a closed economy, so I want to attract as much capital from outside the province as possible. As the old saying goes, open the door to attract investment, close the door and fight the dog, you can't get in or out. Don't just think about printing money and turning deflation into inflation overnight, we should learn the historical lessons of the proliferation of GMD fiat currency and gold yuan......
Funds are always limited, and you have to live within your means. Newly listed companies must adopt an approval system to restrain the limited idle social funds to the industries and enterprises we wish to develop.
It is not only necessary to list Wang Youda Enterprise Group, but also to embellish a few obedient and wealthy private enterprises, such as the green fertilizer company. With financial support, they can expand the promising cause of fecal and urine sorting from the surrounding areas of Chengdu to all counties and towns in the province. Think about it, how many nitro compounds would be fermented for us, how much gunpowder would be made......
When the stock market is up, food is abundant, and various external factors such as politics and military are stable, when you re-examine your plans for Seongnam New Town, you will surely find many things that are not well thought out.
Once the plan is refined, it can be launched. But don't rush it. Several functional blocks are built in order of urgency.
First of all, we should not build any catering, entertainment, and urban complexes, but build universities, which is extremely beneficial in terms of political opinion.
Also, your plan misses the Agricultural University. The Ming Dynasty was founded on agriculture, and the people were based on grain, so the priority of agricultural universities should be higher than that of science and engineering universities. But the Agricultural University is not the highest priority, the highest should be the liberal arts university.
Who will invest in Seongnam New Town? It's the gentry. What was the subject of the gentry? It is a group of liberal arts students who are trekking on the road to the imperial examination. What did the gentry care about? It is their career and interests. In order to gain their support, I will use Shu Kao to guide them and use Yulu to bind them. In order to gain their support, we also need to behave politically, so that they identify with us ideologically, be close to us emotionally, obey us in terms of rules, and be close to us in hobbies......
Therefore, any urban planning must be infused with political considerations and the planners' own interests.
The University of Liberal Arts was the first to start construction, and it was such a starting gun. In this way, we will receive the greatest sympathy in public opinion and the greatest support in politics! ”
"The problem is that no one is coming to live there!"
"People? You are misled by the silent figures!
The most important thing in China is still people!
For example, the millions of displaced people are not people?
Sichuan is China's largest province with a large population. The crux of the problem is not whether there are too many people, but whether the agricultural production capacity can support these extra urban population, or whether the improvement of agricultural production efficiency can enable the rural areas to liberate a large number of labor force into the cities, that is, we often call the migrant workers into the cities......
If the food reserve is enough, I can dig up another million people from Jiangnan for you. The Xiaoice period will not end so quickly, and it is not clear where the disaster will be this year, so this process is by no means overnight, and there is a gradual process of recovery and change......
Next, remember, it's top secret! ”
Zhu Pingjin lowered his voice and approached his wife's ear.
"When King Rui moves south, I will empty the Hanzhong Basin and turn it into a strategic no-man's land......
Hundreds of miles from Qinling to Bashan, there are only armies, no people; There is only grass, no food. There are tigers in the mountains and forests, and poisonous snakes in the grass......
If Li Zicheng wants to enter Sichuan from Hanzhong, I'm afraid he will have to tie a thicker trouser belt, so as not to break it when he gets it! ”
"Song Zhenzong is bent on returning to his hometown in Qinzhou, he must have a knot in his heart that has not yet been untied......
Since you are right, you know it......
You liberal arts students always like a little bourgeoisie. Okay, do as you say, find a scenic spot on the edge of the Jinjiang River and build your liberal arts university.
But I'm going to set up a few kindergartens in and out of the city, and free half of the sky before you petty bourgeoisie! ”
Speaking of which, Luo Yuhong's lazy expression finally had some vitality.
"You gave me a wedding anniversary gift, and I'll give me a gift back. Anwensi and Wang Gongzheng said that they turned your dream of a steam engine into reality. The first real steam engine in the history of mankind has secretly and successfully carried out a trial run of incense stick time yesterday in the Firearms Bureau! ”
