Chapter 684: Song Yingxing!
(0684)
Shandong,Qingzhou Mansion,.
In Qingzhou in mid-February, the spring is cold and the wind is cold. The north wind continued to blow, rolling up the debris on the ground and throwing it everywhere. The sky was gray and overcast, as if it was about to snow. However, the busy crowd in the fields did not feel the chill at all. Some peasants even had beads of sweat on their foreheads.
The new year has begun, and they must seize every minute to take care of their fields and look forward to a good harvest this year. This was the first year that the Tiger Ben Army occupied Qingzhou Prefecture, and it was also the first year that the "Juntian Order" was officially promulgated. The people of Qingzhou Prefecture, as long as they are eligible, have received their own fields. Except for the tax of forty catties per acre, the rest belongs to them. Their motivation is naturally abnormally high.
Before the arrival of spring ploughing, all the backbones of the Department of Agricultural Sciences came to Qingzhou Mansion to guide agricultural production. The leader of the Department of Agricultural Sciences is still the head of the old field. Today, Lao Tiantou is in a very good mood, whether he is talking or walking, he is happy. It is also a pleasure for him, an old man who only knows how to farm, to be able to walk around and teach the experience of farming.
By the side of Lao Tiantou, there are several other people, all of whom are young backbones of the Department of Agricultural Sciences. One of them is called Song Yingxing. The other one is called Xu Zhengming. Song Yingxing and Song Yingsheng are both working under the command of the Tiger Army, Song Yingsheng serves as the county commander, but Song Yingxing is the technical backbone. Xu Zhengming is also an inventor, fantasizing about flying all day long, and China's highest helicopter theory is proposed by Xu Zhengming.
Qingzhou Prefecture itself has a relatively small area of cultivated land, but the population is quite large, and when the fields are allocated according to the "Uniform Land Order", most of the people are allocated less than five acres of land, and it is all the more necessary to intensively cultivate and increase the yield of grain per mu. And this improvement requires professional guidance from professionals. The work of the Department of Agricultural Sciences is to be responsible for this part.
"Da Da Da!"
In the afternoon of the same day, Lao Tiantou and others were guiding agricultural production in the fields near Zibo when they suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves. They hurriedly turned their heads and followed the sound of horses' hooves, only to see a troop of Tiger Cavalry galloping towards them.
"It's Lord Governor!"
Although Lao Tiantou is old, his eyes are still quite powerful, and he can recognize it at a glance, and the person who leads the team is Zhang Zhun. Because it is in his own territory and relatively safe, Zhang Zhun's military uniform is slightly different from the people around him, as long as he is a caring person, he can be recognized from a long distance.
This team of men and horses is Zhang Zhun and the guards around him. He also saw Lao Tiantou and the others, so he immediately turned his horse's head and ran towards them. However, Lao Tian and the others are in the fields, and the paths that run through Qianmo are not able to run horses. Zhang Zhun turned over and dismounted, beckoning them to come over. Lao Tiantou and the others hurriedly came out of the field and came up to say hello.
The people from the Department of Agricultural Sciences, except for Lao Tiantou, saw Zhang Zhun for the first time. It was obviously hard for them to imagine that Zhang Zhun was so young, younger than all of them. However, some of the policies they came into contact with in the Department of Agricultural Sciences, as well as rumors, all show that Zhang Zhun's vision is quite advanced, and many of the policies he formulated are very forward-looking.
Song Yingxing and Xu Zhengming were full of doubts. Zhang Zhun is young, and he is still from a military family, how can he know more than them as pure readers? According to their understanding, Zhang Zhun should have never left Shandong or Aoshanwei!
"Everyone, for a great job!"
Zhang Zhun took the lead and said with a smile.
With Huang Taiji decisively giving up the attack on the Tiger Ben Army, the front lines of Dezhou and Dongjiabao were temporarily stabilized. According to Zhang Zhun's inference, Huang Taiji's goal is most likely to go to the imperial court. Therefore, Zhang Zhun immediately rushed back from the front line to inspect the spring ploughing work. The focus is to inspect the spring plowing work in Qingzhou Prefecture.
Building a high wall, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming the king, these nine words are simple to say, but it is not easy to do, especially to calm down and develop steadily. Impetuous and ambitious, too many people are too easy to commit.
If someone else is replaced to lead the Tiger Army, perhaps the most active thing at this time is to seize territory. Regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, first grab all the surrounding territory. However, what Zhang Zhun adopted was a strategy of down-to-earth development, first managing his own one-third of an acre of land, and then attacking when he was able. Perhaps, this is due to his steady personality.
In fact, the territory controlled by the Tiger Ben Army is not small, Laizhou Mansion, Dengzhou Mansion, and Qingzhou Mansion are all absolute safety zones, and there will be no more danger. Jinan Province is still in some danger at the moment, and may be attacked by Tartar cavalry. The same is true for Dongchang Province, which cannot guarantee absolute security. As for Yanzhou Mansion, the strength of the Tiger Ben Army has not yet penetrated there for the time being.
Seriously speaking, the development of the Tiger Ben Army to the present, that is, two years. It is obviously not enough to spend two years to run the land of Sanfu. In the current Dengzhou Mansion, there is a lot of meticulous work that has not yet been completed. Qingzhou Mansion is even more wasteful, and all the work has just begun. If the place is big, things that are not properly handled will happen from time to time, which is also a very troublesome thing.
Zhang Zhun's biggest shortcoming at present is that there are too few literate people under his command, which leads to a serious shortage of internal affairs personnel. Seriously compared, Zhang Zhun is actually a little similar to Huang Taiji, the people under his command are very brave in war, and it is more troublesome to engage in internal affairs. In the future, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) will be able to transform military cadres into local cadres on the spot and enrich its internal affairs system. However, Zhang Zhun couldn't do it. Because, at present, there are few cultural people in the current Tiger Army.
Fortunately, there are now three generals such as Gao Hongtu, Zhang Shenyan, and Qiao Yunsheng, as well as new forces such as Wang Mingyu, Liu Hang, Liu Baoyu, and Liu Guangxin, which can be regarded as barely setting up a shelf. Through the relationship between the three generals, the Tiger Ben Army can successively attract some poor students, such as Wang Shide, to enrich the power of cultural people. But in general, there is still a serious shortage of literate people.
Li Zicheng in real history, in fact, did not think about developing internal affairs, on the one hand, the military situation did not allow it, and on the other hand, there was no such talent under his command. The development of internal affairs is different from fighting wars, and it is necessary to rely on cultural people, and blindly courageous people cannot bring any benefits to internal affairs. Without the corresponding talents, you can't do it if you want to.
Only after Song Xiance, Niu Jinxing and others took refuge in the future, the cultural people around Li Zicheng can be regarded as a little more. However, it is still far from a well-structured internal affairs system. He pushed too many cultural people to the opposite side of the Dashun army, making others unwilling to take refuge. Therefore, the internal affairs system of the Dashun Army has always been a mess and has not been formed at all.
In addition, the development of internal affairs also takes a lot of time. The formation of the combat effectiveness of the army takes time, and the evening of the ranks of the internal affairs system takes even more time. Unlike the serious and monotonous management of the army, the internal affairs system involves too many aspects. Even with the all-out efforts of a capable person like Gao Hongtu and the assistance of Zhang Shenyan, the current internal affairs system of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of the Tiger Ben Army is only barely passing.
Song Yingxing, Xu Zhengming and others were all excavated by Zhang Zhun with a lot of effort. Their arrival has indeed injected a very strong impetus into the internal affairs of the Tiger Army. This is mainly manifested in agricultural production. In fact, Song Yingxing is indeed quite good at agricultural science and technology. After he came to Shandong, he popularized the various agricultural technologies he mastered in a planned way, so that the agricultural development of Laizhou and Dengzhou gradually embarked on the road of regularization and standardization.
In order to make Song Yingxing's technology more convenient and fast, Zhang Zhun asked Shen Lingfei to come forward and build a letterpress printing factory in Fushan City, which was responsible for printing all kinds of agricultural science and technology books. Although the vast majority of farmers can't read the relevant books, it doesn't matter, isn't there a special narrator? The purpose of these books is to form standardized explanations as soon as possible, so as to avoid distortion and distortion in the process of technology dissemination.
Now that Qingzhou Mansion has been basically stabilized, agricultural production can be carried out in an all-round way, and all the backbones of the Department of Agricultural Sciences have come to Qingzhou Mansion to take charge. The arrival of Zhang Zhun greatly boosted the morale of all the personnel of the Department of Agricultural Sciences. The war on the front line was so tense, but Zhang Zhun still took the time to rush back, which fully shows that Zhang Zhun is very supportive of the work of the Department of Agricultural Sciences.
After the greetings, Lao Tiantou asked Zhang Zhun to give instructions.
Zhang Zhun shook his head with a smile and said, "There are no instructions, as long as you work hard, I will be very happy." The fact that the people welcome you shows that your work is down-to-earth. If the people don't welcome you, your work is frivolous. ”
Song Yingxing said curiously: "Lord Dudu, some of the ideas you mentioned before have been carefully considered, it seems that where have you seen them with your own eyes, otherwise you shouldn't be able to say it so clearly?" It's just that I don't know where the Governor has seen it, and I want to take the time to see it. ”
Zhang Zhun said with a smile: "Hehe, I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I came up with it myself." ”
Of course, he couldn't admit that he had seen a lot of things with his own eyes four hundred years later. Many of his own statements and practices are based on the perfect experience summed up by later generations, and plagiarism is naturally very meticulous. This Song Yingxing has the strength to break the casserole and ask to the end, if it is explained, he will not be able to finish it for three days and three nights.
Song Yingxing said expectantly: "Lord Dudu, we haven't personally listened to your suggestions, it's a pity. Why don't you give us some advice today? ”
Xu Zhengming next to him was also full of anticipation.
Zhang Zhun pondered for a moment and said slowly: "If you want to talk about suggestions, I really have some, but I don't know if there is any difficulty in doing it." If you'd like to hear it, I could tell you more about it. ”
Song Yingxing said sincerely: "Lord Dudu, as long as your suggestion is reasonable, we will definitely work hard to do it." We don't have other skills, but we still have the ability to drill in the fields. Please rest assured that the Governor will be able to do this. ”
Zhang Zhun said with a smile: "My suggestion is not to drill into the fields, just to open up everyone's thinking." Song Yingxing, you should have no problem in terms of technology, if you expand your thinking and insight a little, you will make greater achievements. ”
Song Yingxing could obviously feel Zhang Zhun's respect for him, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange. I'm just a small official, and I don't have any grade at all. 's own family, it seems that in front of Zhang Zhun, there is nothing to show. The only thing that is certain is that Zhang Zhun likes his technical work. This is the first time that his technical work has received such substantial attention.
In the Ming Dynasty, like Song Yingxing, it was not good to study, but went to the fields to see this and that, study this and that, in the eyes of others, it was purely unprofessional. Even, even his brother Song Yingsheng felt that this child was definitely ruined. But after coming to Shandong, Song Yingxing found that his technology had received great attention. In order to promote his technology, Zhang Zhun even set up a printing shop. This made Song Yingxing feel that even if he didn't become an official, he might not have a chance to get ahead.
After trying to stabilize his thoughts, Song Yingxing hurriedly said, "My lord, please speak." ”
Zhang Zhun nodded and said slowly: "What I want to talk about is the relationship between big agriculture and small agriculture. Small-scale agriculture includes only cash crops and food crops. Large-scale agriculture, on the other hand, includes agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, sideline fisheries, and many other contents. Agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and sideline fishery, have you ever heard of it? ”
Song Yingxing shook his head.
Zhang Zhun looked at Xu Zhengming next to him.
Xu Zhengming also shook his head, saying that he had not heard of it.
Zhang Zhun nodded and said eloquently: "We need to correct some old views and expand our thinking. We need to realize that it is not just what is produced in the field that can be called agriculture. We should call all food, from the fields, from the woods, from the lakes, from the sea, from the farms, as long as it is food, as long as it is something that can be eaten, we should call it food. ”
"Specifically, it includes not only rice, corn, wheat, peanuts, beans, fruits, vegetables, etc., but also eggs, milk, fish, meat, shrimp, etc. And meat also includes a lot, pigs, horses, cows, sheep, chickens, ducks, and dogs should be included. In the past, no one probably classified eggs, milk, fish, meat and shrimp and the like into agriculture, but from now on, we need to correct this view. ”
"This is a variety of food, we collectively call it agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and sideline fishing. Agriculture, that is, agriculture, small agriculture, that is, what we often call production in the field, the most important thing is rice and wheat, and now there are corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes and so on. Forestry is forestry, including all forest-related industries, such as timber production, tree planting, etc. ”
"Pastoralism is animal husbandry, including the raising of poultry and livestock. Sideline is a side job, such as going out to work and earn some pocket money when the farm is not working, or hunting, agricultural product processing, traditional handicrafts and so on. Fishing, that is, fishing, including raising fish and going out to sea to catch fish. Basically, the five words of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and sideline fishery encompass all the contents of the peasants' lives. ”
Feeling that his explanation was a little dry, Zhang Zhun stopped and asked, "Can you understand?" ”
Song Yingxing pondered and said, "What do you mean, my lord, our vision should not be limited to just the field? In addition to the fields, there are more places where more food can be produced? ”
Zhang Zhun smiled and nodded, and said appreciatively: "Yes! You've basically got it! ”
He stood up, pointed to the field in front of him, and said loudly: "In the past, most of us focused our eyes on the top of the field. Managing one's own one-third of an acre of land well is the highest ideal of the peasants. Being able to own one acre and three points of land is also their highest ideal. The promulgation of the Junda Decree is to meet this most basic requirement of theirs. ”
"In fact, we have a wider range of space to develop more types of agriculture. There are not many fields in Qingzhou Mansion, and it seems that the congenital conditions are insufficient. Not really. Qingzhou has a large number of mountains, a large number of forests, a large number of lakes, a large number of river beaches, and a vast bay. All of this, as long as we change our thinking, can be utilized. ”
"The promulgation of the Uniform Field Decree is not to bind all people to the fields. In fact, with the continuous progress of production machinery, the work efficiency of workers will be higher and higher. In the past, one cow per family and twenty acres of land were already the limit. However, in the future, there will be more advanced agricultural tools, and it will not be a problem at all for one person to cultivate twenty acres of land. So, where will the extra rely on labor? Naturally, I had to do something else. ”
"Actually, I don't recommend that everyone in the family work in the fields. In our average family, there are several laborers, and they should make full use of each labor, and in addition to plowing the fields, they can also do something else. For example, raising more poultry and livestock, or planting fruit trees, or going out to sea to catch fish, or making certain utensils and utensils by hand. ”
"Each of us has our own strengths and weaknesses. Perhaps, some people are not good at farming, but they are good at weaving handicrafts. Perhaps, some of us are not good at farming, but we are good at raising poultry and livestock. What we need to do is to give these people more room for development. Agriculture, which should not be tied to the land, should have a broader outlook. ”
"Only when agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, sideline fisheries and other aspects are developed in an all-round and healthy way, can food be truly enriched. If no one raises poultry and livestock, we can't have too much meat on our table. No one goes out to fish, and we have a hard time eating fish. If we want to make life better and make the dining table more abundant, we must actively develop agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and sideline fishery. ”
"Because of the war and famine, we are basically stuck in the stage where food is the greatest satisfaction. It's good to be able to eat meat once a month. However, on such a day, I believe that everyone will not be satisfied. There will be more and more days when you want to eat meat. At that time, the market demand for poultry and livestock will be very strong. ”
Song Yingxing's eyes were obviously shining.
Zhang Zhun's statement has indeed greatly expanded his thinking. He was originally a person who loved to think, and in addition to thinking about the development of agricultural technology, how to improve the overall food production of society was also his concern. However, his previous gaze was indeed only focused on the fields, and not very much on the outside of the fields.
Song Yingxing said expectantly: "Lord Dudu, your words have given me a lot of inspiration. Do you mean that some of our old practices, some habits, some old traditions may need to be changed? ”
Zhang Zhun nodded and said appreciatively: "Your comprehension ability is very strong, it is true." There are a lot of things that we need to change. Now that we have established the concept of big agriculture, we need to make a unified plan. Some ideas and practices seem to be taken for granted, but they are not. ”
"For example, setting fire to forests and clearing fields, we used to do this a lot, and we never felt that it was wrong. But now, let's think about it. After burning the forest, how much can be planted in the reclaimed fields, and how much profit can be obtained? And how much benefit can we gain if we preserve this forest? ”
"Aren't forests beneficial? Of course. Wood is a huge benefit. Our Tiger Army needs a lot of timber to build ships, and planting trees is also a long-term industry. Ten years of trees, a hundred years of people, it seems a bit far away. However, as long as it is not quick success, the income of forestry is still considerable. We are in a special period, and wood is never enough. ”
"The same goes for the lake. In the past, we were desperately filling in the lake to expand the area of the fields. If we used lakes to raise fish, how much would we gain? The largest lake in Qingzhou Prefecture is Qingshuibo. I've been to see this lake, and there are so many kinds of fish in it that the local fishermen can't catch them all. It is a great pity that we have forgotten such a large natural treasure trove. ”
Xu Zhengming interjected lightly and said: "Lord Dudu, a family can't even afford a fishing boat, it's not easy to deal with a lake, right?" ”
Zhang Zhun nodded and said slowly: "This is what I will say next." ”
After a slight pause, Zhang Zhun took out a leather bag from his horse, drank two sips of water, and then said, "Lingshanwei's big farm, have you all been to see it?" ”
Song Yingxing nodded and said, "We've all gone to see it." ”
Zhang Zhun asked meaningfully, "How do you feel?" ”
