Chapter 102: The Harvest Season

Originally, Li Yu only planned to say hello to this group of so-called elders. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

But after not wanting to know their plans, he had to stay for more than two days to verify Momen's theory, combine it with socialism, and imperceptibly integrate it into the theory.

Mozi was born in a poor family, so he understands the sufferings of the people and the needs of the people. Most of his doctrines are based on the people, whether it is both love and non-aggression or Shangtong Shangxian, they all come from the regret of the people.

Coincidentally, in Confucianism, there is also the concept of people-oriented, Mencius even put forward the concept of 'the people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light'; Legalism also once put forward the concept of 'the prince who violates the law and the common people are guilty of the same crime', which leads to the good wish of 'the Son of Heaven who violates the law and the common people are guilty of the same crime'; not to mention the concept of the Taoist concept of 'the Son of Heaven does nothing and rules by hanging the arch'.

The current Mohist family is not the Momen of three or four hundred years ago, and Mozi himself once wanted to learn from Confucius, so in the past hundred years, more and more Momen elders have clearly realized that if Momen continues to remain unchanged, it is destined to be forgotten by the world.

Therefore, he did not stick to his own knowledge, but also began to actively learn from other schools, absorbing the ideas that Momen had figured out for his own use, and finally perfected Momen's theoretical doctrine. However, the result was that it became more and more 'socialist' and 'republican', and became less able to cater to the preferences of the family and the monarch.

In other words, the decline of Momen is almost inevitable. But they didn't want Li Yu to cross over, the establishment of the autonomous region and the proposal of socialism and even the communist system opened a new window for them and expanded their horizons.

After two days of discussions with Li Yu, Momen compromised some of the doctrines. For example, in terms of both love and non-attack, it is mainly aimed at civil wars and not for external battles. In terms of other theoretical knowledge, some changes have also been made to meet Li Yu's needs, of course, no matter how it changes, the content of Mohist doctrine is indeed not suitable for the feudal system, this is certain.

A regime that could accept the Mohist doctrine was either socialism or a primitive commune. As long as there is a class, their doctrine will not be recognized by the king, and in the top-down feudal era, if they do not get the approval of the king, they will naturally not be recognized by the family and the people, which is the saddest place in Momen.

Seeing that September is coming, Li Yu is busy with the autumn harvest, and the first batch of rice and high-yield crops planted is about to enter the harvest season. In the first year, due to the lack of sufficient time, there was no deep ploughing and deep planting, and there was no water conservancy and fertilization work, but fortunately, the weeding and insect control work has been carried out smoothly, and the next quarter is only afraid that the concept of rice and fish farming will be further proposed to improve the utilization rate of the field.

At this time, Li Yu's work had entered a busy stage, and even in order to do a good job in the autumn harvest work, except for the necessary few elite troops, the rest of the army had to devote itself to the harvest work.

"My lord, it's been weighed! Nearly two stones per mu of rice were harvested, two stones! In Li Yu's subordinate farm, the farmer who contracted the rice field ran to Li Yu excitedly and reported.

"This year's cultivation technology is still a bit backward, and we will continue to improve this technology next year. Two stones are actually not high, when to harvest three stones, it is not too late to rejoice! Li Yu was not too happy, the rice in these rice fields were all seeds provided by him, although they were not hybrid rice, but they also had a relatively high yield, and it was said that it would not be a problem to harvest at least four stones.

Sanshi, or he is worried that the cultivation technology and the non-application of chemical fertilizers will lead to a reduction in yield, so he put forward a conservative value!

"I don't count on the three stones to decay, and I have been cultivating in the fields for most of my life, and I harvest about one stone every year. The two stones are already an eye-opener for the old decay, and the three stones are unthinkable! The old farmer smiled and showed his yellow and black teeth.

In the end, there is no way to provide health care, and many middle-aged people in their forties and fifties have lost their teeth, and the inability to eat effectively is also one of the main reasons for accelerating their death.

But it can be seen that he is really happy now, just because one acre of land has grown two stones of grain.

"Fellow, be more idealistic, plant the right things in the right fields, and you won't have to worry about no good harvest! The technology will improve, the production will also increase, you just wait to make enough money to renovate the house, or prepare a dowry for your son to marry a good girl home and give you a grandson! Li Yu said with a smile.

"This is also a lot of persuasion from adults, and I and other village people complained earlier that they don't even want to grow this kind of rice. Now that I think about it, I'm ashamed! The old farmer solemnly saluted Li Yu, and sure enough, even ordinary people have no one kowtowing to the ground these days.

But even such a 90-degree bow is touching to this fifty-year-old farmer.

"By the way, are the harvests of sweet potatoes, corn and potatoes counted?" Li Yu helped him up, and then he remembered something else, so he immediately asked.

"The dog is counting, and it's the same when it comes to it, why is it so slow?" Only then did the old man think about it, and immediately pointed to another field not far away.

As the old farmer came to this field, he found that several people were constantly weighing, and there were a large number of sweet potatoes on the ground, which looked much larger than the rice harvested.

"Dalang, why is it so long?" The old farmer was first startled by the mountain of sweet potatoes, and then he walked towards one of the men, shouting as he went, so that the man must be his son.

"Father, why are you here? Ah, here you are, my lord! When the young man saw his father coming, he hurriedly handed over the work in his hand to the helper next to him, and when he walked over, he found that Li Yu was also here, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

"Adults came to see the yield of these three crops, why hasn't the inventory been counted for so long?" Although the old farmer already knew what the reason was, he still had to ask the necessary questions, even if it was for Li Yu.

"Adults don't know that the yields of these three crops are unexpected, and we are shocked every time we harvest one. Finally, the harvest was completed, but we found that there were too many of them, and some of the tools we brought were not suitable for use, so the speed could not go up. When the young man heard this, he hurriedly confessed.

Speaking of which, if it's rice or corn or something, as long as there is a bucket lifting tool. But sweet potatoes, corn and potatoes are afraid that this kind of weighing tool is not needed, and if you rely solely on weighing to weigh, the speed is naturally much slower.

"It's okay, take your time, I'll have people prepare some more to weigh it!" Li Yu nodded and said.

"Thank you, sir! In addition, the weight of the potatoes and corn has now been weighed, and the potatoes are harvested thirty stone per mu; If the corn is weighed together, including the corn stalk, there are 12 stones, and if you don't count, it is estimated that there are about 8 stones; Sweet potatoes have not yet been counted, but it is estimated that there are about 20 stones! The young farmer said solemnly.

"Da Lang, you are not allowed to lie to adults!" The old farmer was immediately stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly reminded. He is really afraid that his son will talk nonsense, if this is not the case in the end, he is afraid that he will cause trouble for the family!

"Father, this yield is only high, not low, the child can swear to God!" When the young man heard this, he immediately retorted.

When the old farmer heard this, he didn't continue to say anything, knowing that the son is not as good as the father, and since the son is willing to swear to the sky, it must be that this yield is true. It's just that if it's really this production, it's too scary!

He had been planting the land for most of his life, and he was already pleasantly surprised that the yield reached two stones, and the yield of these three crops that he had never seen before was at least eight stones, and the highest was more than thirty stones, which was already terrifying.

"Let them prepare some three crops, as well as rice, and hold a promotion banquet in the past two days, gather all the old farmers around Lingyang, and promote rice and three high-yield crops to them!" Li Yu immediately instructed Ouyang Xing.

"Whoa!" Ouyang Xing is now a competent secretary, and the stain that was reported is not so easy to wash away, but fortunately, he is not depressed, which Li Yu sees in his eyes, and is still very satisfied with his performance.

During this time, I didn't spend a lot of extra time explaining to him some unspoken rules of officialdom, as well as some basic principles of being an official. These are things that can't be learned in textbooks. However, there are two basic reference materials, namely "Thick Black Studies" and "Caigen Tan".

"Thick Black Studies" was published in the Republic of China, and earlier it was based on "Caigen Tan". The former is easy to understand, while the latter contains all the truths of cultivation, life, life and birth.

Of course, Li Yu didn't want Ouyang Xing to become a big slippery head because of this, so he recommended him to join Momen to learn the Mo family's way of life at close range, as well as some of the latest ideas and concepts.

At the same time, he analyzed the differences between the nouveau riche and the family, so as to avoid him from going down the path of bureaucracy. I have to say that the time invested in him even surpasses others.

It's just hard to say, Ouyang Xing is not Li Yu's first test product, an experiment on how the functions of the experimental system are actually applied to others. Fortunately, this experiment is a win-win outcome no matter what.

It took a few hours for Ouyang Xing, who learned to ride a horse, to convey Li Yu's meaning to the ears of all the people in Lingyang Town, and when he rested at night, after completing the bagging of grain, everyone also came to the banquet one after another.

Tonight's main course is basically these grains, except for corn wine, which cannot be brewed, the rice has been shelled, and made into rice noodles and rice, with some other seasonings to make braised pork powder, sweet potato porridge, white rice and other foods, distributed for free. Recipients only need to listen to the delivery staff for a few minutes to explain what this is.

Even Li Yu used new paper to make a lot of propaganda posters, all of which were handwritten. The posters detail the three crops, and even some of the expansion of how to make merchandise, such as rice flour and corn wine, sweet potato vermicelli, and more.

It also gave the contracting rights of several water conservancy mills, vermicelli processing factories and distilleries, and many people immediately applied for contracting. These factories or workshops are state-owned, and the government holds an absolute stake, but gives 49 percent of the shares to contractors. It can be contracted separately or jointly by multiple people.

The government does not interfere in the management of factories, and only supervises the basic working hours and minimum wages of employees, so as to avoid common situations such as child labor, more than eight hours of work, and low minimum wages in factories.

In the end, most of the contractors were businessmen here in Lingyang, and the high yield of these new crops made them see a route to get rich, which was obviously more profitable and cost-effective than their merchants, contracting government-run factories!

The banquet lasted for three days, and the three crops were also thoroughly promoted, and they were well received for a while!
