Chapter 257: July is a tiring month
Zhang Guoan has already measured the latitude and longitude of the Badaohe area. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
After comparing the map of that world, he found that he was geographically closer inland than that world.
The reason here is simple, the alluvial action of the river is not enough.
However, the fundamentals of the two regions as a whole are not so far apart.
The terrain of the whole area is flat, the terrain is wide in the north and sharp in the south, and the original Zengwen, Luermen, Yanshui, Erren four streams do not exist, and it is basically a gentle zone where plains and marshes are intertwined.
Judging from last year, there was little rain and sunshine throughout the year, and the climate was mild, so crops can be grown in all seasons.
It is also located south of the Tropic of Cancer, and its climate is a typical transition between a subtropical monsoon climate and a tropical monsoon climate.
Last year, the average temperature of the whole year was very high, 23 degrees, the coldest was January, with an average temperature of 17 degrees, and the hottest month was July, which was still a bit high, reaching an average of 29 degrees.
It is not uncommon for the temperature to drop below 10 degrees Celsius when cold air from the continent moves southward.
This is the area with the longest sunshine hours on the island, with a total of more than 2,500 hours of sunshine per year.
So under such climatic conditions, the salt industry along the coast can develop.
Due to the influence of topography and monsoons, the rainy and dry seasons are very distinct.
Last year, most of the rainfall was concentrated in the summer, that is, from August to September.
Due to the influence of the southwest monsoon and the convection of mountains and flatlands, local convective rain is likely to occur in the afternoon.
Summer is also the time when typhoons are highest, but they are not large.
It may also be due to the influence of fronts, which account for as much as 80% of the year's precipitation throughout the summer.
Last year, winter was the dry season when there was not much precipitation, which can be seen from the flow of the Badao River and Badao Creek.
Probably the most concentrated month of the year is August, when there is precipitation almost every day.
So in the middle of July before entering August. It is the "double robbery" season here, which can be said to be the most tiring month in the Badaohe area.
The Tatar sailors, who had been captured by them, came in handy at this time.
At first, they panicked, because Zhang Guoan killed the Tatars mercilessly, and they were afraid that it would affect them.
Followed by. They also witnessed Zhang Guoan's amnesty for some people, and also allowed them to walk freely, and also issued travel expenses, even if they worked and gave a lot of wages, they felt that they were not afraid.
As long as you work hard, as long as you obey orders, you will not be put to death.
Another point was that they were even given shoes and clothes to eat. It's something you've never tasted before.
In this harvest, they are also willing to work like others, because they know that they also eat this object, especially the corn, which can be boiled and roasted, which is really fragrant and sweet.
They knew that this object was taken to Da Song with skin to sell. One is Qiwen money, Qiwen!
And they're full!
The first thing to be harvested is corn. Because it is necessary to dry the seeds, it is necessary to avoid August.
This was followed by potatoes and sweet potatoes, and rice and wheat in the first place.
Although Zhang Guoan "invented" the mule-donkey harvester, one person can top sixteen people, but there are not enough mules and donkeys----- so it is better to use manpower.
Throughout July. It is a season full of sweat and the smell of crops.
In the middle of last year, the summer temperatures in this place were hot and humid, making it easy to feel suffocated.
Only here is spring and autumn more comfortable, with a breezy and refreshing feeling.
Typhoon season is the most annoying thing. However, in the summer, due to the effect of the monsoon, it often occurs here, but fortunately there are fewer typhoons that make landfall in the Badaohe area, and when the typhoon passes over the eastern or central mountain ranges, the initial momentum has weakened, and the damage to crops and people is less.
In order to prevent the phenomenon of rotten peaches in cotton, Zhang Guoan has been doing flood prevention work, and has also increased the distance between plants to make the cotton field more transparent.
As for the land, there is no need to worry about it here.
It will also be harvested in time for August.
Therefore, the whole month of July is a busy season.
In the imperial village of the Great Song Dynasty official family, it is also a bumper harvest scene, and the piles of corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes are placed on the edge of the field, waiting for the review of the Great Song Dynasty official Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu, the official of the Great Song Dynasty, was so happy that he couldn't speak.
There is no shortage of land in the Great Song Dynasty, there are only more than 100 million people in the south of the Yangtze River------ what the Great Song Dynasty lacks is paddy fields, and it has relatively high requirements for environmental and geographical conditions.
The Great Song Dynasty did not inhibit the annexation of land by large households, and land could be bought and sold freely, and a large number of paddy fields were indeed concentrated in private hands, but throughout the entire Great Song Dynasty, there was not a single famine above the scale.
Nor was there a single incident in which the peasants revolted because of the lack of land.
This is not to say that the Great Song Dynasty government managed well, but that the Great Song Dynasty government managed less, so the Great Song Dynasty is now in the stage where the people are rich and the country is poor.
How poor have you become? They did not raise taxes, so they could only hit the families with more fields, hoping that they would sell their paddy fields, and then rent them out to collect more rent.
What should I do if I don't have money? I didn't dare to print too much banknotes, and used the degrees of Taoist priests and monks to top the money.
Comrade Lao Jia did all this, although he took the lead in selling 10,000 mu of paddy fields------ because his rationality was not strong enough, his role as an example was basically useless.
Even in later generations, people selectively forgot his leading role, that is, they kept scolding him.
But now, Comrade Lao Jia is also looking at the corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes and has been trembling.
Because everyone present has tasted the cooked food, it is absolutely delicious and satisfying, and there is no one who eats it for the first time who does not boast.
Importantly, it is extremely high-yielding.
What's more, they are all planted in dry fields, as long as the composting method is used, after fertilization, even a little barren dry land can be produced!
Comrade Lao Jia knew the output number reported by Huangzhuang, and after he directly discounted it, he was also very surprised by this output.
I have countless dry fields in the Great Song Dynasty------ what more paddy fields do you need?!
It's late at night, and the smell of boiled corn and boiled sweet potatoes in the Great Song Palace doesn't seem to have dissipated.
Zhao Yu, an official of the Great Song Dynasty, was listening to the teachings of his master again.
Comrade Lao Jia said: "Official, let's stop the "Gongtian Law" for the time being------
Zhao Yu, the official of the Great Song Dynasty, nodded his head like a chicken and ate rice.
In the newspapers played in various localities, it was really difficult for him to use various means to smear the content of the "Gongtian Law", although no one dared to question the officials, so the spearhead was pointed at their teachers and ministers.
But I can figure it out with my knees, without the support of the government, where did the "Public Land Law" come from?! (To be continued.) )
