In addition to changing the method of cultivating crops to increase grain production, Liu Wei also thought of other ways to increase the productivity of the Han Dynasty as much as possible. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The variety of crops is fundamental, and in addition to that, the efficiency of work.

What is productivity? During the Han Dynasty, the common people relied on manual cultivation for cultivation, and land reclamation was mainly based on manual excavation and cattle farming. Cattle were treasures in ancient times, and it was illegal to kill cattle in the law, and sometimes there was no cattle in a village, and farming relied on manpower to dig, and it was conceivable that the productivity was backward.

In later generations, farming relied on machines, and the speed was not known how many times faster.

For example, an acre of land of the same size can take three to five days to dig by manpower, a day to plough with oxen, and an hour to use a machine.

However, due to the backwardness of technology in the Han Dynasty, some families not only did not have cattle, but even hoes and agricultural tools for farming, which also caused backwardness in production.

For example, corn is a crop that can be sown in spring and summer, and the growth cycle is short, it can be sown twice a year, and it only takes about four months for one season. However, because a lot of time is wasted on clearing the land, after sowing in the spring and then harvesting, I want to sow in the summer, but there is not enough time because the land has no time to be cultivated.

If we can increase the speed of cultivation and plant both crops, wouldn't the grain yield increase exponentially?

The reclamation of land can only start from the direction of farm tools and cattle, and Liu Wei thought of this aspect, so he had to make a complete plan.

"Since I have exchanged these crops, we must do a good job in agriculture!" Liu Wei groaned, and quickly wrote this face-to-face plan on rice paper.

First, the establishment of the Department of Agriculture, the overall management of the world's agricultural tools, ploughing cattle.

The occupation of the agricultural department is to improve the efficiency of farming, and in terms of agricultural tools, the agricultural department is responsible for building agricultural tools, popularizing agricultural tools, and the people's agricultural tools need to be registered with the agricultural department, but there is damage, loss, and blunt can go to the agricultural department with the bad to exchange for a new one.

In this way, we can have a very in-depth understanding of the popularization of agricultural tools in the world, and the popularization of agricultural tools can more or less improve the efficiency of farming.

In terms of cultivating cattle, the Department of Agriculture is responsible for cultivating cattle, and the world's cattle need to be registered in the Department of Agriculture, but cattle need to be bought, and farm tools can be exchanged for new ones with the old ones, but cattle can't be exchanged for dead ones. If you do such a cheap thing, the people will kill and eat the cattle without work, and then go to the agricultural department to adopt them, this will be a loss.

Taking one mile as the benchmark, eighty households in one mile can be assigned a ploughing ox, which will be popularized according to this standard first, and then cultivated ploughing cattle, gradually allowing more people to get ploughing cattle. The people can adopt the cattle cultivated by the agricultural department, and if they are killed, they will be punished, and they will be rewarded, and the agricultural department is also obliged to teach the people how to raise cattle.

Soon a division of agriculture was formed in His Majesty Liu Wei, responsible for the management of farm tools and the popularization of cattle. There is the task of cultivating ploughing cattle and building farm tools. In terms of farm tools, Liu Wei quickly recalled the farm tools of later generations, the farm tools of this era are mainly for the plow, Liu Bin has seen it, it is not easy to use, agriculture has been developed for thousands of years, and the farm tools have already been greatly improved, and the pinch can be eliminated!

Liu Wei took rice paper and drew on it, and soon several farm tools appeared on the paper. This does not require exchange technology, and several times in the previous life I was a rural person, and I had a lot of contact with farm tools, so it was easy to draw it.

Plate hoe, hoe blade is relatively thick and wide, can be used for large-area excavation and reclamation. The hoe blade is thin, light weight, can be used for weeding, turning the soil, hoeing, the hoe blade is strip-shaped, the hoe blade is long, it can be used for small area of deep reclamation, it is very easy to use for hard land, and can also be used to dig potatoes, sweet potatoes and other crops.

If these three hoes are created, they are much easier to use than the plow, and Liu Wei immediately sent craftsmen to make these three farm tools.

"There are still too few cultivated cattle in Dahan, and it is still too difficult to popularize them in a short time by artificial breeding alone. It seems that there is only a call for help and Ran Min. Liu Wei muttered and quickly wrote another letter, the letter was addressed to Yang Jiye, and Liu Wei asked him to go to Hetao to communicate with Ran Min and obtain the cultivated cattle.

Weapons, armor, clothing, salt, food, these things are needed in the backward Hetao Ran Min. Cooperate with Ran Min in exchange for cultivating cattle Liu Wei thinks it is feasible.

After writing the letter, Liu Wei thought about it again, replacing crops with high-yielding ones, popularizing farm tools, and ploughing cattle to strive to plant crops for two seasons. Then there is the planting technique.

Water conservancy irrigation, fertilization, and agricultural personnel can greatly increase grain production.

Water conservancy irrigation, cylinder cars, and random Quyuan plows, these two treasures that only appeared in the Tang Dynasty, Liu Wei also exchanged them for drawings. In terms of fertilization, Liu Wei also wrote down the use of manure, plant ash, and the use of these things with the memory of later generations.

Then there are the agricultural talents!

Liu Wei immediately communicated with the system and said: "I want to summon talents in agriculture!"

"The system has 893 points, summoning agricultural talents, ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the Northern and Southern Dynasties agronomist Jia Sixian, Jia Sixian, 53 in force, 62 in commander, 89 in intelligence, and 83 in politics. Special attributes, Agronomy 99! Now Jia Siyi's identity is Luoyang, a farmer outside the city, and the author of the book "Qi Min's Technique". ”

After the system finished speaking, he stopped talking, Liu Wei knew that there were very few agricultural talents, and as far as he knew, there was Jia Sixian, Xu Guangqi had great achievements. I'm afraid it's hard for him to ask the system to give a five-list summon.

Liu Wei did not delve into it, Jia Siqian was born, he was very happy, the Department of Agriculture has been released, and Liu Wei will also set up the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Department of Agriculture is only a small department of the Ministry of Agriculture. Jia Siyun came better, his achievements in agriculture were excellent, and he was a Taishou in the history of Jia Sixian, political, intellectual, and it was very suitable to serve as the head of a department.

In addition, Qi Min's book is an agricultural work, and Jia Siqian was born directly with this book, which has a great role in promoting the agricultural development of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Wei continued to write on rice paper, trying his best to find out the knowledge about agriculture in his mind, sorting out and polishing it, as the foundation of a strong country. One night, Liu Wei was busy, and the next day, Liu Wei went to court.

"Huh? Why don't you see Ding Gong? Liu Wei looked around at the ministers, but found that Ding Guan was missing from the list of the three princes.

Cai Yong sighed and stepped forward and said: "The people from Ding's Mansion came to report that Ding Gong entered his body with an evil wind last night, and now he is paralyzed in bed, and he can't go to court early!"

"What? Is there such a thing? Liu Biao was shocked, Cai Yong said lightly, but Liu Biao knew that this was a symptom of a stroke. It is normal for the elderly to get this disease, but the mortality rate is high, and many people die from strokes in later generations. Ding Guan treats him loyally, and Liu Wei also respects Ding Guan very much, like a teacher, when he learns that Ding Guan is seriously ill, Liu Wei panicked for a while.

"Go to Tai Hospital and let a few miracle doctors treat Ding Gong, and I will see him later!" Convenient immediately ordered.

"No!"

During this time, there was no major event in the court, and after the ministers reported their work to Liu Bian, it was time to retire from the court, Liu Bian clapped his hands, but a few guards came to the hall with the drawings drawn by Liu Bian yesterday.

Three hoes, plate hoes, pickle hoes, strip hoes. Liu Wei pointed to the hoe and said, "Can Zhu Aiqing recognize this thing?"

The ministers looked at these three different hoes, and couldn't help but go forward and play with them, this is a hoe, everyone can see it, but the current hoe of Wudahan is not the same at all. How does it work? The ministers didn't know, Cai Yong immediately arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, is it a plow?" But it is very different from the ravine, is there a rake that is easy to use? How did Your Majesty get it? ”

"In the past few years, the Han Dynasty has to recuperate, and I naturally want to seek the way to strengthen the country. I tried it out of curiosity, but I found that it was not very easy to use, and the shape of the rake was single, and the hard soil could not be shaken when digging the ground. So when I returned to the palace, I thought about improving it, and I had this thing, as for whether it is good or not, I will know if I try it! Liu Wei replied.

The ministers were very relieved when they heard it, Liu Weigang thanked Daoyun, Mi Zhen entered the palace, it was the newlywed Yan'er, but he was not greedy for beauty. On the contrary, he worked hard for the country and improved farm tools, which was really the blessing of the society, and for a time the civil and military forces in the palace were praised.

Liu Wei waved his hand and said: "Okay, let's go and see if these farm tools work, if they work, they will replace the old man, if they are useless, you are boasting in vain!"

Only then did the ministers stop, and Liu Wei asked the ministers to go home first and change into civilian clothes, and go out of the palace to try whether the newly made farm tools worked. If you want to say that this is the most authoritative, it is still the people, so this farm tool has to be taken to the field, so that the people can try it, and only then can they know if it works when compared with the old man.

However, Liu Wei is very confident that these kinds of hoes are common in later generations, and they must be better than those used two thousand years ago.

Soon Liu Wei also changed into civilian clothes, and by the way, he also called Mi Zhen, Xie Daoyun, and the two of them, as for Cai Yan and other three daughters, they all had princes to take with them, and it was inconvenient to leave the palace. Liu Wei took Xie Daoyun and Mi Zhen's two daughters, and under the protection of Yang Miaozhen, Yang Zaixing and other four guards, they went out of the palace and came to Luoyang City. Outside the city, Cai Yong, Lu Zhi and others with several ministers were also waiting for Liu Wei.

After leaving the palace, the group walked towards a village outside the city, where Liu Wei not only wanted to experiment with new farm tools, but also to find Jia Sixian.

Soon I came to a nearby village, and most of the fields in this season are planted with soybeans, that is, soybeans and soybeans. The sowing of wheat is sown in autumn, harvested in April and May, and now it is July and August, and the soybeans in the field grow green, with small pale yellow flowers, and some of the stalks have grown beans, but Liu Wei looked at it, but it was very few, not as many as in later generations. And the beans are also very small, and the particles are estimated to be small.

Liu Wei and the others entered the village, the people were working in the fields, and when they saw Liu Wei and others coming, they were all dressed in gorgeous clothes, and they were definitely not rich or expensive. Fortunately, Luoyang is governed by Tian Feng, he is upright, the Luoyang generation is very peaceful, and the people are not afraid of the rich and noble people coming to bully them when they see Liu Wei and others coming.

A few people walked up to Liu Wei and saluted Liu Wei, "I don't know why a few adults came to my village?"

The person who came was an old man, Liu Wei has always respected the old man, and asked after returning the salute to the old man: "I don't know where your village is?" We are court officials, and we have created a few new farm tools, we want to try them in your village, see if it works? ”

"It turned out to be Shangguan, I am Lizheng, my lord, please!" As he spoke, the old man welcomed Liu Wei and the others to an uncultivated land.
