This lottery unexpectedly helped Li Chu a lot. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Now it is the beginning of spring, and it will not be long before it is the farming season. Li Chu is very fortunate now, glad that he did not encounter ****** at the point in time he crossed, and I remember that in later generations, I heard a professor say that at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it happened to be the Xiaoice River season, and the Ming Dynasty suffered a famine in a large area, and the people had no food to eat, and finally broke out all kinds of internal rebellions.

At the beginning of the crossing, Wang Qing's rebellion broke out in the west, causing the price of grain here to rise from time to time.

Rufen Town is a grain-producing area in Ruzhou, most of the grain is controlled by the nine families of Xiangcheng County, how much the grain price is sold is all up to them, since Li Chu laid down Xiangcheng County, there are only three of the nine families in Xiangcheng County, and finally these three families finally had to take refuge in Li Chu, and the grain of the remaining six families is more or less classified into Li Chu's granary.

With the formulation of the new policy on Li Chu's side, these three families also had to return the price to normal.

In addition, there are not many soldiers in the Qilin Army, so there is not much shortage of food.

Although there is no shortage, in fact, there are still many poor households who cannot eat food, so they can only buy low-grade black flour to eat steamed bread and scones and the like.

Now Li Chu is no longer as good as before, with the addition of more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Liangshan, this territory can not be limited to the area of Rufen Town, it is bound to carry out a great expansion, the so-called three armies have not moved, grain and grass first, this logistics work must be done well, especially related to food.

Not only Li Chu, but now that the Lantern Festival has passed, many ordinary people have begun to prepare for spring ploughing.

This lottery is really timely, not to mention the threshing machine, after all, the threshing machine can only be used when the rice is ripe, and the water pump and sprinkler irrigation equipment are the most urgent needs at present. The high-quality fertile fields of Rufen Town and Xiangcheng County are concentrated at the confluence of the Junshui and Rushui basins, isn't it because these two places are rich in water sources?

The second is Ye County and Lushan County, Ye County has the Tan River, and there are fertile fields around the river, and the fertile fields in Lushan County are concentrated in the mouth of the Junshui River into the White Turtle Lake, and the rest of the large areas are inferior fields, and the lack of water is the main problem causing inferior fields.

Today's pumps and sprinkler irrigation equipment can solve this problem, and the system has also given away 30,000 stainless steel shovels.

Steel shovels, which were much more durable than iron hoes at this time, were used to dig ditches.

Li Chu left from Dianjiangtai and found Shi Tianyi.

Now the main government affairs of the Qilin Army are presided over by Shi Tianyi, and this spring ploughing is the top priority, and Li Chu has to discuss with Shi Tianyi.

When I found Shi Tianyi, he was eating barbecue in a tavern, and there were Li Xuan and Tan Cheng next to him.

Seeing Li Chu coming, he hurriedly handed the roasted chicken to Li Chu, and then vacated a seat for Li Chu.

"I've seen the lord."

Tan Cheng also hurriedly got up, but was pulled down by Li Chu: "Sit down, don't talk about such politeness and identity at private banquets." ”

"This barbecue tastes good, I didn't expect Mr. to have such skills." Li Chu tore a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth, the heat of the roast was just right, and the salt sprinkled on it was also moderate, which was very in line with Li Chu's taste.

"Why did the lord come here?" Shi Tianyi asked.

Li Chu said: "Today is the Lantern Festival, and it will be farming in the near future, I don't know what Mr. has planned?" ”

Shi Tianyi got up, bowed to Li Chu, and said with a smile: "Then it depends on your patience, whether you like to be fast or slow." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Shi Tianyi glanced around, there were only four of them in the entire tavern, and the shopkeeper immediately walked to the back hall when he saw this, for fear of hearing the secrets here, Shi Tianyi said: "If the lord chooses to be fast, he can directly order troops to move west quickly, taking advantage of everyone's morale, Liangshan Jun is holding back a momentum of meritorious service in his heart, and quickly raid Nanyang, and then take Yuxian, Xinye, Shunyang, Qiande and Miyang, and fight a blitzkrieg, if you can take the opportunity to capture that Wang Qing's side is the best, if you go Wang Qing, The lord needs to immediately collect troops and garrison the county, but this will more or less delay some farming. ”

"What if it's slow?" Li Chu asked again.

Shi Tianyi said: "If you are slow, the lord can train soldiers before farming, and now the Qilin Army is supported by strong equipment, and its soldiers' personal strength is still insufficient. When the spring ploughing is completed, the army will be assembled to conquer Wang Qing. ”

Li Chu originally wanted to ask Shi Tianyi how to arrange farming, but Shi Tianyi mistakenly thought that Li Chu was asking about strategic principles.

However, Shi Tianyi's words made Li Chu think a lot.

Now the territory of nearly 250,000 acres of underground land, the previous recruitment of a large number of young laborers to join the army, this will inevitably affect the cultivation, and on the side of Ye County, because Wang Qing twice sent troops from Nanyang, the power caused sixty or seventy percent of the residents of Ye County to choose to move their families, if it is attacked quickly, this cultivation will definitely be delayed.

Shi Tianyi said again: "I heard that there are ten households and five empty households in Nanyang, how many young and strong people have been forcibly conscripted into the army, if the lord takes Nanyang at this time, I am afraid that he will face a super mess at that time, not only Nanyang, but also the county side also wants to be similar, in terms of the lord's current money and food, Tianyi's suggestion is to put it off for a while, and it is not too late to build Rufen Town before sending troops." ”

Li Chu pondered.

Three seconds later, he made a decision, and said with a resolute gaze: "The eldest husband is standing in the world, can he retreat because of the difficulties ahead?" Now that the Nanyang area is so erosive, if it is not recovered early this time, when it is time to farm, how can the people of Nanyang farm? I'm afraid that there will be another ******. ”

Shi Tianyi was moved, his face changed, and he hurriedly bowed to Li Chu again, and repented: "This time, Tianyi was wrong, and he was a little short-sighted. ”

Immediately, Li Chu told Shi Tianyi about the water pump, sprinkler irrigation equipment and steel shovel.

Shi Tianyi was shocked when he heard the use of the three things, and hurriedly asked the source, Li Chu only said that it was the latest invention researched by Lu Men.

After talking about the tools, Li Chu told the matter of the rice flower fragrance seeds again.

Shi Tianyi asked suspiciously: "Can you really produce 800 catties per mu?" ”

Li Chu nodded confidently.

Shi Tianyi was petrified in an instant.

Not only Shi Tianyi, but also Li Xuan and Tan Cheng were stunned when they heard it.

Ancient people are not better than modern times, except for the Bianjing City, almost all of them know how to work, everyone is clear about the yield of rice, even if it is the best fertile land, its yield per mu is only about 300 catties, not to mention that the number of catties in the Song Dynasty is 0.2 catties less than the modern catties, it is said to be 300 catties, if you use the weight of later generations to convert, it is only more than 200 catties.

This is a fourfold increase? (To be continued.) )
