Chapter 180: Farming Fantasy
The distant mountains are like daisies, and the lofty mountains and mountains dressed in green and blue clothes stretch towards the sky like a giant dragon quietly crawling on the vast land. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
An official road, sometimes straight, sometimes curved, reaches into the deep distance.
"Xiongguan Mandao is really like iron, and now we are stepping forward from the beginning!" Looking at the beautiful and majestic rivers and mountains, Liu Chan's ambition came spontaneously, and he couldn't help but think of the ancient heroic poems of the later Taizu.
Liu Chan secretly made up his mind that he would never let this great country of China fall into the hands of thieves and traitors, murderous and cruel barbarians.
With the extremely rhythmic shaking of the horses, the thin figures and difficult lives of the people he had just heard and witnessed appeared in his eyes, and in connection with the dialogue with Fu Tong and Xiang Pet, Liu Chan began to have a whim.
Nowadays, Jingzhou Dading has obtained valuable opportunities for recuperation and development, and it is necessary to race against time, although Jingzhou is in ruins, and there are many things to do. However, the most pressing task at the moment is to vigorously develop agriculture, animal husbandry, and commercial trade.
In particular, grain planting is the fundamental way out to solve the problem of insufficient military rations, and it should be put on the agenda.
Liu Chan decided that after he was done, he should go deep into the grassroots of the people, go into the front line of the people's life and production, understand and familiarize himself with the basic situation, and grasp the first-hand information.
First of all, according to the actual situation and in the light of their own knowledge in later generations, they should improve as much as possible the technology of rice and other grain cultivation, rapidly increase the output of grain, and vigorously develop the breeding of chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle, sheep, fish, shrimp, turtles, turtles, and other industries.
Yes, start an agricultural estate by yourself and set a successful example. Then, the model was replicated in various counties, counties, and townships, and all of them were exemplary. Finally, the whole township, the whole county and the whole county will be driven by radiation to develop a high-yield and high-quality agricultural economy.
Secondly, it is necessary to improve and introduce excellent varieties. For example, sheep, vegetable cows, dairy cows, horses, and so on in the north. These are relatively easy.
In terms of crops, it is more of a headache, because their ancestors are all in the distant Americas. If we can introduce such high-yielding and high-nutrient seeds, the problem of insufficient military rations and the difficulty of the common people in eating will be solved.
The first variety that needs to be introduced is the potato. In later generations, potato was one of the five major staple foods in China, with high nutritional value, strong adaptability and large yield, and was the third most important food crop in the world, after wheat and corn. By the 17th century, potatoes had become an important food crop in Europe and had spread to China.
Potatoes are native to Peru and Chile in the Andes region of South America. The Lake Titicaca region, 3,800 meters above the Andes, is probably the first place where potatoes were cultivated. Wild potatoes were first discovered and eaten by the Indians.
The second variety is corn. Corn is one of the most important food crops in the world in later generations, corn is rich in protein, fat, vitamins, trace elements, fiber and polysaccharides, etc., and its nutritional value exceeds that of flour and rice. It is known as a longevity food. Native to Latin America, Mexico and Peru along the Andean foothills. After Columbus discovered the American continent, he brought corn to Spain on his second return trip (1499). With the development of the world's maritime industry, corn gradually spread to all parts of the world and became one of the most important food crops. It was introduced to China at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Harvest ripe fruits in summer and autumn, threshing the seeds and drying them, which can be used fresh.
The third variety is sweet potato. Sweet potatoes were first cultivated by the Indians and later introduced to China through the Philippines. Sweet potatoes are rich in starch, vitamins, cellulose and other essential nutrients, as well as magnesium, phosphorus, calcium and other mineral elements and linoleic acid. It is a good medicine for beauty and beauty, anti-cancer, and disease.
High-yielding crops such as potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes introduced from the Americas became the main food of the poor class in China in later generations, and played an important role in maintaining the rapid increase in population.
Haha, it's great that you can also increase the number of people. In the future, there will be no worries about the shortage of soldiers. Liu Chan began to be happy.
If the seeds can be recovered in these two years, twenty years later, Liu Han's population will increase exponentially. After the whole world, the land of China has a population of hundreds of millions.
When the time comes, it will not be a dream to build a super invincible fleet, sail the world, travel around the world, and colonize Southeast Asia, Australia, the Americas, and Europe.
Liu Chan almost burst out laughing. However, this matter is easy to think about, but it is still difficult to do it, and it has to be considered in the long run.
The most important point is that the navigation technology must be excellent, and Jiangdong's shipbuilding industry and navigation technology are second to none in Dahan. It seems that we have to find a way from Koto.
This is an afterthought, or come back to reality and take it step by step.
In addition to the above varieties, it is also necessary to introduce foreign varieties such as peppers and tomatoes, and vigorously promote the promotion of cabbage, radish and other crops.
The content of vitamin C in chili pepper ranks first among vegetables, which is native to Mexico and introduced to China in the last years of the Ming Dynasty for edible and medicinal purposes.
Tomatoes are native to Peru and Mexico and were originally called "wolf peach". The fruit is rich in nutrients and has a special flavor. It can be eaten raw, cooked, processed into ketchup, juice or canned whole fruit. Tomatoes are one of the most widely cultivated fruits and vegetables in the world.
Cabbage was called woad in ancient times. This name is very unique, implying that cabbage is like pines and cypresses that are not carved in winter, and there are four long days. Cabbage is native to southern China, there seems to be no record before the Han Dynasty, only after the Three Kingdoms, cabbage is seen in the record, such as "Wu Lu" contains: Lu Xun urged people to plant beans and woad. After the Sui and Tang dynasties, cabbage was popularized in large quantities. Chinese cabbage is shelf-stable and has become the main vegetable of people along with radish.
Radish has a variety of edible and medicinal properties. It is very rich in nutrients and can also be used to cure diseases. "Eat radish in winter and ginger in summer, no need for a doctor to prescribe medicine", radish has the reputation of "little ginseng" in my country's folk.
Fu Tong and Xiang Pet's inadvertent question, but Liu Chan had so many strange ideas.
Liu Chan thought to himself, in fact, when he traveled back, in addition to fighting wits and courage, fighting for hegemony and seeking the country, and chanting poems and picking up girls, he could also occasionally grow fields and breed, and do business and entertainment.
In a word, it is to live happily and be an emperor easily.
Looking at his uncle Mi Zhu in front of him riding a horse, humming an unknown tune, leisurely and carelessly casual fairy-like, Liu Chan's heart moved, and he just took this opportunity to talk to him about his thoughts.
"Drive!" Liu Chan clamped the horse's belly, easily caught up with Mi Zhu, and went hand in hand with him, shouting affectionately: "Uncle! ”
"Dou'er!" Seeing that it was Liu Chan, Mi Zhu showed a kind and kind smile.
Lu Zhu is the richest man in Xuzhou, the head of the Mi family, the ancestors have been engaged in reclamation for generations, and there are nearly 10,000 servants and diners, and there are countless family wealth. He is good at riding and shooting, and was engaged in other driving by Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian.
Elk Zhu is graceful and generous, pure and elegant, with the style of an elder. In the Three Kingdoms of the late Han Dynasty, he was the most loyal and unswerving soldier of the Han Dynasty, the most noble gentleman, and a unique man with lofty ideals! It can be called the Qu Zi of the Three Kingdoms.
Even the traitorous male Cao Cao was full of praise for Lu Zhu, calling him: "Su is loyal, civil and military!" ”
In the later Yuan Dynasty, the Taoist priest Quanyangzi Zhao Daoyi of the Fuyun Mountain Wannian Palace, revised the "Xianjian" called Mi Zhu "East China Sea Shou Moose", and Guan Zhang Zhao Ma Huang Pang Jiang said.
Liu Bei's respect for Mi Zhu is still above Zhuge Liang.
Because in the troubled times of the late Han Dynasty, Mi Zhu was not thinking about how to keep his property, or taking refuge in Cao Cao, the most powerful backer, in order to keep the glory and wealth of the Mi family forever, but to scatter his family wealth to pursue the great ideal of his life - to restore the glory of the prosperity of the Han Dynasty and the stability and happiness of the people in the world!
Mi Zhu's eyes were like torches, pinning his hopes on Liu Bei, who had been defeated and defeated repeatedly, and had no male soldiers and no feet in his feet, and did his best to support Liu Bei without reservation.
When Liu Bei was defeated in Xuzhou and stationed in Haixi County, Guangling County, he extended a helping hand to Liu Bei's long-admired Elk Zhu. not only funded Liu Beijun with 2,000 subordinates and gold and silver goods, but also deliberately married his sister to Liu Bei, so that Liu Bei, who was in danger, could regain his strength.
When Cao Cao heard the news, he went to fight for the Mi brothers, and recommended Lu Zhu as the Taishou of Yingjun, and his brother Lu Fang as the minister of Pengcheng. Lu Zhu and Lu Fang resolutely refused, and unswervingly followed Liu Bei to fight for life!
Such a great personality, such a noble businessman, unheard of!
