Chapter 117: A New Height in Agriculture

Bian Linglong is pregnant, according to modern parlance, if she wants to continue to work, she can continue to work until the prenatal period, and complete the birth and confinement by taking maternity leave. After the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info there is a year of lactation, and you can leave work two hours earlier.

But this is the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Bian Linglong is just a traditional woman. Knowing the fact that she was pregnant, she was also hesitant to continue working. She just wants to be at home now, be a good helper, and then take care of the baby.

Originally, Li Yu planned to establish the image of a new woman, as an attempt to gradually emancipate women. But is it because of this that she can disobey Bian Linglong's idea and force her to continue to work? This is no longer love, Li Yu feels that he can't be so selfish.

It is true that it can be said that Bian Linglong was brutalized by the residual poison of feudalism, so he lacked a sense of independence. But at this moment, in Li Yu's opinion, Bian Linglong has no idea of inferiority, she just wants to be a mother in peace.

No one has stipulated that women's emancipation must be advanced, and it is only a symbol of the intention of a part of women to defend their legitimate rights and interests. This is certainly possible, but it is not possible to completely deny the disadvantaged status of women. At least the vast majority of women themselves have the need to cling to a strong man, which is a subconscious and physiological need, and has nothing to do with the mind or borders.

Forcing every woman to stand up, forcing them to fight for more freedom and power, this is already the victim's mind, can it really be regarded as freedom and cooking?

Take 10,000 steps back and say, to what extent should women's power be raised to be called freedom and equality? Putting the man above the head and returning to the matriarchal society is called freedom and equality...... Please allow Li Yu to disagree!

In the end, Bian Linglong went back and continued to be a housewife. Maybe she will come out to work in the future, but at the moment she just wants to be a wife who is cared for by her husband. Li Yu agreed with her decision and just asked the maid at home to take good care of her.

In this way, Li Yu and Bian Linglong have a lot less time to meet. In the past, everyone worked overtime and worked together, so they could get along day and night, but now they can only meet her when they go back from work. Sometimes looking at an empty office inevitably feels a little awkward.

It's just that he wants to recruit another secretary, but he may not be as caring as Bian Linglong. After thinking about it, he still turned Ouyang Xing into a regular and made him his secretary, and now he will stay by his side for a while. The latter was also very satisfied with this arrangement, even if he knew that from today onwards, his work would be even busier.

Li Wen and others naturally sent congratulatory gifts, especially Li Wen, who is a member of the Li clan in Lingyang, and the family can be said to be the most happy thing after the family has a future. It's a pity that Cai Yan is still young, and Li Yu doesn't want her to become a mother too early, which is very bad for her body and subsequent development.

I also talked to Li Wen before, and the latter also expressed his understanding, and the two sides are currently respecting each other...... But it also hurt Li Wen, Cai Yan took out poems and songs from time to time, or played a piece of music for him to taste, so that Li Wen was also miserable.

Over time, the level of poetry and music has also improved rapidly, and he himself has gained a little more elegance that he did not have before. This made Li Yu sigh with emotion: Sure enough, Wenqing women are really not married to anyone, and they are afraid that they can't stand this toss!

Seeing the spring ploughing season, all the people began to get busy again.

Unlike in the past, this year, the government not only provided all-iron farming tools, but also ploughing cattle. Ploughing cattle are buffaloes bought from mountain people further south, unlike the old cattle in the north.

Every person who contracted the land only needed to pay in installments to get these farm tools. The all-iron component, the front end is a steel structure, which is better than the previous wooden structure of agricultural tools, and it is naturally easier to dig.

Not to mention the help of ploughing cattle, you only need to pay in installments to get it, and you can even negotiate with two people to pay in installments. Joint ownership and maintenance, these governments have clear provisions, to avoid some property disputes. This is also thanks to Cheng Yu, a lawyer talent, who gradually improved the legal system of the autonomous region.

Unlike the public ownership of land, Li Yu would not set up any production brigade and then create a system of labor division and collective labor. The latter can be had, but definitely not the kind of big pot rice. Private ownership is a supplement to public ownership, and Li Yu still recognizes it.

The land belonged to the government, but the agricultural implements allowed the people to buy and sell freely, including cattle. Of course, an existence like a state farm may be able to provide agricultural tools, after all, under this premise, all the people who work here are themselves hired laborers. They sell their labor to earn wages and a certain amount of dividends, which must be distinguished from the land contracted by individuals.

Of course, these Li Yu are still groping, and there must be theories, but how to materialize the theory, the key is how to improve it in combination with the reality of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which is what he needs to worry about.

The Chen family, who has become a Taoyuan Chen family, has bought a lot of farm tools, and even bought three ploughing cows. After all, they also contracted a large farm, and thirty percent of them planned to grow high-yield crops, and the other seventy percent seemed to be planning to seed peanuts and cotton.

The farmland of the entire autonomous region has been counted, and the number of acres of grain fields for this year has been planned. This part of the field can only be planted with rice or high-yield crops, lest everyone grow cash crops and cause the price of grain to rise again.

"Is it okay to have a ridge like this?" On the side of the rice field, a new technology will be adopted this year, that is, rice and fish farming, for which the surrounding area of the field must be tamped and the ridges of the field must be raised, which the people have never tried before, and it is inevitable that they need to ask often.

"That's fine, get ready to start flooding!" Li Yu nodded, to be honest, he was only based on the information, and it was difficult to say whether it would work or not. It is said that the data are all advanced experiences summarized by predecessors, but there seems to be regional statements.

We must be prepared for no harvest this year, this is Li Yu's idea. For this reason, at least half of the rice fields are not equipped with this technology, in order to mess up, or at least not to starve the autonomous region of food.

The fish fry were caught on the other side of the Yangtze River, and the people from Momen were asked to buy them. Although there may be parasites in these fry, the likelihood is much lower than in the lake water. In the future, as long as it is cooked and then eaten, it will not have much impact.

Li Yu also took some parasite-killing drugs and put them in, but it is unknown whether it has an effect.

For many people, raising fish in the fields is simply unthinkable. Many people think that fish will eat crops, but in fact, grass carp, for example, tend to choose to eat insects before starting to eat grass. As long as the stocking density is not so exaggerated, then naturally occurring insects and weeds are generally sufficient for their needs.

However, these theories have not been confirmed, and no one knows whether the grass carp or carp of the Eastern Han Dynasty is consistent with the modern one.

If you raise it well, you can not only harvest rice but also a batch of fish; The failure at least collected some valuable information, and it did not pose a serious injury to the grain industry in the autonomous region, so Li Yu still tried.

He hasn't gotten it out yet, and he's worried that it will be remembered, this thing can improve the efficiency of farming, not only in the Wuyue region, but also in the Central Plains. However, for the family, backward productivity and extremely low grain production are what they want to see, and only in this way can they sell grain at a high price.

As a direct beneficiary of low productivity, in fact, the landlords did not want to reform agriculture, and all the people should be hungry!

No matter how many people die, it has nothing to do with them, after all, it is a matter of the state and the government. All they need to do is rent out the land and collect it regularly! Occasionally, the rent is reduced or reduced, and even the reputation of 'benevolence and righteousness' can be earned, as for the famine or any other problem, it is the government and the imperial court, and it has nothing to do with them.

In feudal times, landlords were probably like this. Not to mention the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was clear that sweet potatoes and corn had been introduced, but due to their deliberate blockade, there was no way to promote them nationwide, but instead let the Manchus take advantage. The so-called Kangxi prosperity is almost all made of sweet potatoes and corn.

"I thought your knowledge was huge enough...... Lin Ming found Li Yu in the end, in fact, this is just a routine report, if there is any progress in the research of the industrial zone, he will come to Li Yu to report the situation.

"Surprised?" Li Yu knew what he was talking about, and he really couldn't do it without a system, after all, he was not an encyclopedia. But now, he has the capital to pretend to be X.

"I'm really surprised, what kind of existence is your family? Of course, I'm not talking about the Longxi Li family! Lin Ming asked very seriously.

No matter how talented a person is, it is impossible to learn a series of techniques such as industry, agriculture and commerce in twenty years. Originally, when he was in initial contact, he found that Li Yu didn't seem to be the kind of existence with better talent.

In this way, what kind of education can enable a 20-year-old young man to master so many skills? Even if you fill it in one go, you can apply it as skillfully as you do now, and you can even teach it to others?!

This made him curious about the family behind Li Yu, or Li Yu was hiding something from him!

I have to say that Lin Ming's conjecture is indeed very close to reality, but unfortunately in the absence of evidence to support him, he can only maintain a skeptical attitude, but there is no way to prove anything. The system can carry out spatial transmission over short distances, transmitting items out, so that several times he tried to trace the source of those black technologies, but found nothing.

"People who live in seclusion will still be very idle, and when they are idle, they must find something to do, otherwise they will go crazy. Do you know what will happen in 200 years? If nothing else, wouldn't it be nice to go back to the elders who had lived in seclusion for a period of time and ask what they had studied during their time in seclusion. Li Yu looked at Lin Ming.

"This can be regarded as an explanation...... Lin Ming also had to accept this explanation.

It's a shame to say that the reason why Momen's mechanical skills, martial arts, and theories can be improved is actually thanks to the silent efforts of the elders who are immersed in research. Without this kind of dedication to study, and without Momen's current achievements, he is just a bargain existence. Just learning Momen's existing techniques and theories has taken up almost all of his brain capacity.

It's no wonder that Momen wants to separate into a giant and a inheritor, if he still has to spend time learning martial arts and assassination techniques, I'm afraid that even if he has some achievements, he will definitely be unknown to everyone, and he will not be able to achieve today's achievement at all.

"Actually, don't envy me, I don't know any martial arts, not even horseback riding, like you, can only be regarded as the inheritor of family culture, and even a lot of knowledge is just memorized, in fact, I haven't practiced, and I don't know if the successful examples at home will be successful here......" Li Yu couldn't help but sigh, in fact, can he say that as a modern ordinary citizen, he doesn't need to learn martial arts to defend himself?

Besides, people living in an era of thermal weapons, except for special forces, have weakened their melee capabilities to an extreme. Traditional martial arts have become dance arts, and without the 'chivalrous' who robbed the rich and helped the poor, it also made social security a lot more stable.
