Chapter 134 Pilot Land Reform

However, they were not demolishing, not only did they not have a nail household to stop them, but when the silver sticks weighing hundreds of pounds were carried to the open space outside to be smelted, Xu Li'er and Xu Hu brothers and sisters were all clapping their hands and applauding.

"Brother Pan, have you heard? ....... the stolen silver hidden by the prefect Wang Han was found, Lord Admiral Xu Yun and Lord Yin Yu were letting the craftsmen smelt it. ”

"Oh, if that's the case, it's great, I was worried about lending thousands of loads of food, but now I'm finally relieved."

"Yes, I'm worried about that......"

As the saying goes, there is no impermeable wall, and such a large battle in the Admiral's Mansion requires the use of masters who specialize in smelting silver in the yamen;

Only for half a day, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to lead, hidden in the wooden purlin news spread, people have told each other, for a time the people of Kaifeng City are all happy.

More and more businessmen began to look outside the Governor's Palace, especially those rich people who had lent money and grain, and they breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts while exchanging words with each other.

As Liu Huayun said at the beginning, Ji Xiaolan and Xu Yun were in Kaifeng, Anyang, and Luoyang...... In the lands, they borrowed grain and money from large households and distributed them to the victims, although they promised to pay it off within three months;

But that is the result of using public opinion and force to use both soft and hard, even if they don't pay it back within the time limit, they don't have a good way, they can't take people to find the Qincha and the admiral to violently collect the debt, it's just the birthday boy hanging himself.

It is a more cumbersome process to smelt the silver stick into Dafeng ingots again, even if there are professional personnel involved, it is not good to do it without three or five days.

With nothing to do, Liu Huayun wanted to take advantage of the current opportunity to discuss with Xu Yun and He Jin to find a township outside Kaifeng City and carry out a pilot project on the new distribution of land;

If everything goes well, a few months later, when the wheat is sown, it will be promoted within a radius of ten miles from Kaifeng City, and then slowly spread to the entire Yulu and Shandong provinces next year and the year after.

In addition, now that it is the sowing season, it is necessary to select some corn and soybean seeds to cross with each other and try to improve the quality of food.

Even if Liu Huayun doesn't have time to do it himself, he can record the technical essentials of hybrid seeds in his memory and hand them over to Xu Yun to print, so that the grain experts can do it.

"If the people are safe, the country will be safe, and if the people are rich, the country will be strong, even if there is great resistance to this matter, you must spare no effort to do it......"

Listening to Liu Huayun's proposal that the people could have enough food and clothing and live and work in peace and contentment, He Jin agreed very much and set the tone for this matter.

"Huayun, mixing human and animal manure with straw and putting it into salt fermentation can really make organic fertilizer with better effect and increase grain yield after seed application?"

In these days, without electrified machinery, there could be no chemical fertilizer, and the common people used their own farm manure, that is, livestock manure such as cattle, sheep and chickens.

Sometimes it can be stacked outside for a while, but it will be seriously lost after heavy rain.

Sometimes, when it is in season, it will be directly put into the ground, and the untreated manure is easy to get sick when growing grain, and the natural yield of the seedlings will not come up if it is not strong.

But Rao is so, in the face of several acres of fertile land per capita, most of the people's families are not self-sufficient, which is why there is an ancient saying that fertilizer and water do not flow into outsiders' fields.

What do the common people lack? Lack of food, clothing, lack of money, and the last thing that is lacking is strength, and once it is feasible to mix straw with animal dung, those barren lands without the nourishment of farm manure can also be turned into fertile soil in the future.

After hearing Liu Huayun mention how to ferment organic fertilizer, Xu Yun couldn't help but ask.

"This is natural, if you don't believe it, father-in-law, you can let people try it......"

In fact, it is best to use special yeast for fermented organic fertilizer, but Liu Huayun has not had time to cultivate it, so he has to retreat to the next best thing and replace it with table salt.

When he has time in the future, he will have to find a way to get out chemical fertilizers such as ammonium nitrate, urea, and potassium sulfate, as well as yeast for the people to be self-sufficient.

At the end of May, grass and straw are crushed and mixed with water and salt in the farm's manure to ferment in the sun for a few months, just in time for growing wheat.

Of course, there is also the problem of the container, and the unpleasant smell during fermentation;

In his previous life, when he made organic fertilizer in the factory, he used a large fermentation furnace, and there was no film in these years.

If it really doesn't work, the cement will be fired and the people will build a fermentation tank outside the village;

As for the leakage of the formula process, after returning to the capital this time, he asked He Jin to ask the old man to promulgate a Dafeng patent system, and the soap, soap, candles, cement ...... and so on.

In the future, if anyone plans to burn cement or make soap, they can justifiably charge a certain fee, otherwise they will be directly banned by the power of the state.

In this way, you can not only earn a lot of money, but also have the righteousness of the world in mind and be widely praised.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, there was a rain a few days ago, and the moisture in the ground is good, which is just right for sowing seeds, and now the silver has been found;

The redistribution of the land should be done sooner rather than later, and I will start doing it tomorrow......"

After discussing for a while, Xu Yun glanced at the sky outside and said with a smile.

"Father-in-law, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and I will go with you tomorrow."

The matter of smelting silver, there is Yin Yu Bo of the Mansion, and Wang Yue, the household servant who is about to rush back from Luoyang, to preside, do you want to do a pilot? Liu Huayun still has to run in person.

Next, while it was not dark yet, he began to repeat the knowledge of hybrid wheat, corn, and soybeans, and asked He Jin to write and record them, so that when he left, he could hand them over to Xu Yun.

"For the minister, Wang Yue participates in His Royal Highness the Prince."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, more than 87,000 taels of disaster relief silver mixed with lead have been smelted, and in three days at most, we will be able to ...... them all."

The night passed quickly, and in the early morning of the second day, Liu Huayun and He Jin had just left the inner house, and the old man who rushed back from Luoyang last night after hearing the news, and the middle-aged scribe Yu Boyan, who had come to visit yesterday, had been waiting for a long time.

"Very good, there are two Aiqing who have worked a lot."

He Jin waved his hand, so that they didn't need to be polite, and then accompanied by Liu Huayun and Xu Yun, and protected by Lu Feng and a dozen other people, they got into a carriage and headed to the south of the city.......

"Huang Ren, you should pay the rent you owe to my family."

Ten miles outside Kaifeng City, Xinghuaying Township, Xinghuaying Village, the old Huang family in the east, in a few dilapidated Washe courtyards, there is an apricot tree with a thick basin;

In previous years, at this time, it should have been covered with yellow and clear sweet apricots, if there is wind and rain in the early morning, it will fall down with a crackle, pick it up and wash it to eat.

However, this year, due to the impact of the drought during the flowering season in early spring, even the leaves of the sweet apricots are just sprouts.

At this moment, a young man in brocade wearing a hat crookedly, with a slightly chubby figure and a big mouth; was walking with two Tsing Yi house slaves, pointing to the old man in Mai with a bitter face under the apricot tree, and he was indescribably arrogant.
