[Today's three watches, thank you for your monthly pass]

Just when Chen Ming was along the Han River to Wuhan and along the Yangtze River to Jiujiang, hundreds of millions of peasants had already begun to work the vast land of southern China. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIt's the beginning of a new year!

is no better than in Wuhan, Chen Ming knows everything about Wuhan well. He is quite unfamiliar with Jiujiang.

On the lakeside plain of Poyang Lake, the vast paddy fields have been filled with water, and the seedlings that have just been planted in the paddy fields by the peasants are like straight soldiers, being inspected by Chen Ming.

In this era, there is no technology of throwing seedlings, and it is very tiring to face the loess with its back to the sky, and a row of grass is planted, no matter how strong the person is, he will not be able to take care of the muddy water, and sit directly on the ridge to rest. "Your Highness, seedlings must be planted correctly in order to live more easily and grow quickly. And if he wants to be positive, he needs to have a certain depth. Xiao Lou, the prefect of Jiujiang, has personally tried the hard work of transplanting seedlings, so he is now very concerned about the experimental field of the Agricultural Institute on the shore of Poyang Lake.

As a traveler, Chen Ming, no matter how northern, also knows that rice planting is to throw seedlings rather than transplant them.

The former uses a bowl sports seedling tray or paper tube to raise rice seedlings with nutrient soil clods at the roots, which are easy to disperse with each other, or adopts the conventional seedling raising method to raise seedlings and then manually break the pieces and divide the seedlings, and then the seedlings are evenly scattered in the air together with the nutrient soil, so that the roots fall into the field with gravity and colonize a cultivation method. It has changed the traditional habit of pulling and transplanting seedlings that has been followed by farmers for thousands of years, and has the advantages of labor-saving, labor-saving, seed and seedling fields, simple operation, high yield, stable yield and high efficiency, and is a major reform of modern rice cultivation technology.

At the earliest, Chen Ming deliberately searched for some information on the Internet, because he couldn't believe that the seedlings thrown out were upside down, how could they slowly stand upright? At that time, Chen Ming didn't know that there were soil clods under the seedlings that were thrown, just like a shuttlecock, he thought it was a pure seedling, thinking that the seedlings that were so light would not be scattered on the water?

Chen Ming, who didn't understand it, deliberately went to check it on the Internet, and fortunately, thanks to such a story, he can now remember it clearly. According to the drawings of the construction of the pounding out of agriculture and experimental fields. Bowl sports seedling tray or paper tube seedling for the time being, Chen Ming does not know what the specific thing is, can use the conventional seedling raising method to raise seedlings after hand-breaking the seedlings, and then the seedlings together with the nutrient soil are evenly scattered in the air, which also greatly saves the amount of labor of farmers and directly promotes the development of agriculture.

The agricultural institute set up by Chen Han last year has set up a number of branches in Huguang, Jiangxi, Lingnan, and Jiangnan, and has circled small Zhuangzi one by one to experiment with the technique of throwing seedlings. Xiao Lou saw the speed and effort of throwing seedlings with his own eyes, so he eyed the farm yard.

After last year's experiment, the agricultural institute of seedling throwing technology has accumulated a certain amount, but it is not enough.

The improvement of rice cultivation methods cannot be completely encompassed in a few words, but also needs to go through the test of various natural disasters, so that the methods and means of prevention can be derived.

Last year, the experimental field of Changsha Agricultural Institute had just finished throwing seedlings, and it rained heavily, and the field after the heavy rain was the world of water. Moreover, judging from the fact that most of the fields have thrown seedlings, the time for spring planting is a few days earlier than before......

Anyway, without the accumulation of three or five years, Chen Ming will not let go of this technology to officially circulate.

Because this is related to food production, and the influence is extremely huge, he would rather slow down and calm than be quick and fast. Any new way of growing is convincing after a long period of experimentation.

There is no depth in throwing seedlings, but the seedlings grow well. As the old saying goes, seedlings grow well when they are planted right, which seems reasonable, but in fact it is not. Throwing seedlings, the seedlings have neither depth nor positive, but the yield will not be low.

Xiao Lou was also the first official to explicitly propose to Chen Ming to carry out large-scale seedling planting experiments in the area he was responsible for, and after being vetoed by Chen Ming, Xiao Lou did not feel ashamed or embarrassed, but continued to take Chen Ming away from the basic military merit grange, and finally proposed to Chen Ming that Jiujiang wanted to build a few canning factories, hardware factories, agricultural machinery factories, etc., and then the products produced by these factories could be added to the supply system of department stores.

"Why do you think so?"

"Your Highness. Although the department store brand has only been erected for two years, it has already won recognition from all walks of life. The daily sales of any department store is a big number. And there is often a phenomenon of short supply. This is also what the people want. A very straightforward truth, Xiao Lou and those wealthy Jiujiang households who came to contact him just looked red and wanted to step in.

"In terms of the quality of the goods, in terms of price, there will be absolutely no problem. As long as His Highness agrees, it will be ...... in less than two months."

Xiao Lou's next words were stopped by Chen Ming's wave, if it weren't for the smile on Chen Ming's face, Xiao Lou's heart would really be tight. But even if Chen Ming had a smile on his face, Xiao Lou, who was being looked at by Chen Ming, felt his scalp tighten for a while.

"It's okay to run a factory. But the Governor would not have said anything like that. "The department store brand has been erected, sales continue to increase, only the logistics department into the supply and demand system of those merchants output is gradually unable to supply, so this year to join the industry and commerce Department responsible for some of the merchants, but the shortage of supply has not been solved.

"In the second half of this year, the Logistics Department and the Industrial and Commercial Administration will hold a conference of 100 merchants. One of the things to be solved is to expand the supply of department stores. Some supply and demand channels will be decentralized, and some goods will be sourced from the nearest source when the quality and price of the goods meet the standards. ”

"If you Jiujiang really have confidence, then set up the factory. When the time comes, rely on your own quality and price to grab food. You can't always think about going through the back door......"

Chen Ming is extremely happy that the supply of department stores exceeds demand. This represents the restoration of people's livelihood.

The latter is as small as grates and combs, as large as silk and satin, gold and silver utensils, called department stores, and the types of items can be far more than a hundred.

The quality of goods is strictly controlled, and the price is 'small profits but quick turnover', which was just a brainstorm for Chen Ming at first, and it was a benefit given by the logistics department to the large and small merchants in the military supply and demand system, but later this benefit became bigger and bigger.

Taking the Zhao family in Wuhan as an example, at the beginning, all they ran for was military uniforms and uniforms, plus some orders for military dry food. But now the revenue of the department store is no less than the profit generated by the military order. From linen cloth, coarse cloth, to silk and satin, the sales volume of department stores is far higher than that of the Zhao family's own silk shop. Next, the Zhao family is ready to wear ready-to-wear!

And the Zhou family in Wuhan, who was severely cut by the Fu Han Army, recovered most of its vitality in just two years. Their own grain and oil shops are about to be closed, but every month they are increasing the number of water-powered mills under their name, and they continue to deliver large quantities of rice and pasta oil to department stores.

Unconsciously, the Zhou family has changed from the integration of production and marketing to the current almost only production and no sales.

With the prosperity of commerce, the gold yuan coupon was more and more frequently accepted by these big businessmen, and then because the gold yuan coupon is not marked, it is really ruined if it is ruined, and many high-value merchants began to seek checks that are similar to silver bills in their eyes for the sake of insurance.

The checks issued by the Bank of China and the Commercial Bank were endorsed by the Chen and Han courts, and their credibility was greatly enhanced. Especially in the major trade ports where large trade is frequent, such as the British and French East India Company, they have opened VIP accounts in commercial banks.

"Banknotes, issuing banknotes."

When the financial problems were under great pressure, Chen Hui once said this to Chen Ming. He learned from Chen Ming and Rotoni what paper money is, and Chen Hui said, "What is the difference between gold yuan and paper money?" If you're worried about circulation, you can tie it to a department store......"

……

Xiao Lou followed the boat all the way to Pengze, which is the county with the lowest economy and people's livelihood in the entire Jiujiang River.

There's no way, who let Peng Zeshan have more land and less land, and more people and less land. Even if they are leaning against the Yangtze River waterway.

"There are 24,000 households in Pengze County, close to 140,000 people, which is much, much less than that of Dehua [Fucheng]." Xiao Lou opened his mouth and said two numbers, Chen Ming pricked up his ears and listened, 140,000 people, this is less than Dehua. Compared with the original Lushan, there is no advantage. "Because there are only 240,000 acres of farmland in the whole of Pengze. Of these, 35,000 acres are dryland. ”

"In other words, on average, two acres of land per person is not enough?"

Xiao Lou didn't answer, but said: "Peng Ze From the year before last to this year, there are 4,000 young people who have joined the army alone. The young men of seventeen, eighteen, and nine were almost gone. The people's livelihood can also be seen, although Peng Ze is known as "the seven provinces are choked, the gate of northern Jiangxi".

"Besides, even if the people have two acres of land per capita, after receiving grain, they will rely on these two acres of land for birth, old age, sickness and death, which is absolutely unrealistic."

"Xiaguan heard that this year, the Dazhi Iron Mine in Hubei Province and a place called Ma'anshan in Anhui Province will be mined on a large scale. And because the number of labor camps is insufficient, a large number of laborers need to be recruited. The lower official begged His Highness to let the two mines divide some indicators to Peng Ze. "Peng Ze has gone a lot of young people, but there are still a lot of strong laborers in their twenties and thirties.

"That's a mine, mining will cost people's lives, if there are dead and injured, aren't you afraid of being blamed?" The labor camps are no longer enough, and if we want to develop minerals on a large scale, we must use recruitment, which is another great burden for the Fu Han army.

But steel is a thing, you can't develop it.

Regardless of whether it is a military grange or an ordinary person, there are more farming hours and less farming hours. If we want to increase the income of peasants and let them get out of the farmland as soon as possible in the tide of the impact of the industrial age in the future, we must let the people work to earn money, so that they can really earn money.

This kind of thing cannot rely on the spontaneity of the common people, God knows how many people are willing to work, it is too wasteful of labor. And you don't know what the people are going to do?

This can only be tactly guided by the government.

From Chen Ming's point of view, the simplest way is for the government and the private sector to open a lot of factories and workshops, and they don't need too professional skills. But this is simply not realistic in the short term.

China's wealth is hidden in the people, and if the capital of the people does not move, it only depends on the government and the current Chen Han, which is nonsense.

Chen Han is now a big cluster, no longer a small piece of projectile land, everything must be considered from the whole, you can't have a headache and a sore foot.

Although the whole south is the best place in China, there must be many more places like Pengze. Besides, Peng Ze is lucky enough here, they are near the Yangtze River, and they have the advantage of water transportation. Back then, the early base of the rabbits was called a poor one.

Chen Ming agreed to Xiao Lou's request, although he was a little heavy when he left Peng Ze, but the name Xiao Lou was deeply remembered in his mind.

"If we issue banknotes, the imperial court may be able to set up another department store."

"The 'money' required to buy goods in this department store cannot be gold, silver and copper, but only paper money."

"This kind of paper money can be exchanged for gold and silver, and it can also be used to work in public factories."

"The goods in the store are cheaper than the prices outside, so as to prevent speculation. Therefore, in addition to paper money, there should also be invoices, such as grain stamps, cloth stamps, meat stamps, oil stamps, sugar stamps, cigarette stamps, iron stamps, etc., and the rations should be issued to the workers. Chen Ming's mind was opened.

"Labor has an invoice. The logistics department and some businesses in the industrial and commercial bureau system can also give them a certain number of invoices, but these invoices must be sent to the hands of workers. ”

"Although it may not be effective in the short term, in the long run, I think there is still a certain guiding effect. In order to buy daily necessities and iron tools, the people had to get paper money and invoices. Since paper money can be earned through labor, the people naturally refuse to exchange real money for paper money. Plus they need a lot of things, and slowly this will form a habit.

No, I don't need the name of a department store, this time it's called a supply and marketing cooperative, as long as we can keep the invoices, we are not afraid of speculation. ”

Chen Ming's brain hole opened up again. After leaving Penghu, he kept thinking about the problem of running a factory - no money, no money - running a factory, and then thought of how to reduce the financial burden if the finance was expanded. "You all think about it, and if there are any loopholes."

"If this matter can be started in the government system, in the salaries of officials, and in public factories, and then gradually carried out at the local level, the financial burden will be reduced again by next year...... "It is not to issue paper money to all public officials, but to let them decide for themselves." But there will always be a part of the salary that will be turned from silver to paper money.

Wang Huizu, Xiong Bingzhang and others looked at each other, even Zhao Yi, who only reported to Chen Ming during the Chinese New Year, well, it was Zhao Yi who 'came out of the country and led the way for hundreds of years'. This person was an official in Guangxi, and he had also participated in the military affairs of the Burma campaign in Yunnan before, but the Qing army in Guangxi was destroyed by the first division, and Zhao Yi was captured in Nanning and persuaded by Pang Zhenkun to serve the Fu Han army. First of all, he served in the Lingnan Left-behind Mansion, which was included in the logistics and material transfer, and did a very good job. was jointly promoted by Lingnan and Pang Zhenkun, Chen Mingjian was a celebrity, and his previous resume and work ability after surrender were very good, so he was transferred to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion with a paper order.

Zhao Yi was also very surprised now. Chen Ming's method is obviously a slap on the thigh, from Jiujiang to Anqing, but at a glance, it is very rigorous. And the possible effects, even if they are unsatisfactory, will not harm the world.

"Is there really a person in this world who doesn't learn and skill?" Zhao Yi was very surprised in his heart.

When he didn't have close contact with Chen Ming, Zhao Yi had a lot of doubts about Chen Ming. Chen Han rose to prominence because of him in just a few years, did those glory and halos really come from himself? And not to take the merits of the generals under his hands.

After all, Chen Ming was just a young man in his twenties, and he wasn't even a showman before. After Zhao Yi entered the Dadu Governor's Mansion, he also carefully observed Chen Ming, this doesn't seem to be a person who loves to read. It is completely different from Zhu Hongwu.

In fact, Zhao Yi didn't know about King Yang Dong eighty years later. Yang Xiuqing, a native of the country, is called the real 'skill without learning'.

Now Chen Ming is a pure fake, his shell has not been changed, but his core has already been updated. In the past life, the miscellaneous things of the information age, the experience of pouring water in the forum while spending time as a mother, now a lot of what I have seen and heard can be turned into 'whimsy' and his 'far-sightedness'.

For example, the current set, this is not how smart Chen Ming's brain is, on the contrary, this is the best proof that Chen Ming is an ordinary person. In many things, he still can't completely connect what he saw and heard in his past life with the current situation and political situation...... (To be continued.) )
