Chapter 473: Ruzhou ripe, Jiangnan farming
It will take time here in Jiangnan. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The Haining Army is being trained here, and on the side of Rufen Town, Ruzhou, Li Han is also recruiting soldiers again.
Most of the main forces of the Qilin Army have arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, and now the Jingnan Road is also very empty, with less than 50,000 defenders left, but they need to command seven or eight state capitals, and fortunately, Ruzhou is the area of the Great Song Dynasty, and the court has not yet noticed that the Qilin Army is wrong, and the Qilin Army is regarded as a legitimate courtier.
They may want to weaken the Qilin Army, or they may try to get it by other means, but they will definitely not send troops to attack Ruzhou directly.
At least it was like this before the Kirin Army didn't openly rebel again.
The previous dispatch of the Western Army to the south, the court still thinks it was a misunderstanding, and the court is also carefully investigating, but who used the military seal of the Sanya privately, this matter has not yet had a result.
The more inconclusive, the more angry Song Huizong Zhao Ji became.
Such an important thing as the military seal of the army was taken and stamped privately, and then the fake documents were used to dispatch the soldiers and horses of the imperial court. This is a big matter for the imperial court, and no one in the entire Sanya and the Privy Council has escaped this matter, even Wang Huang, who was questioned alone in the end, as for Gao Yu, Tong Guan, etc.
They may be a little polite to these high-ranking officials, but it will not be the same for those below, either they will be tortured or locked up in a small black house.
For a while, it made people panic.
But in the end, no one caught the murderer, and Zhao Ji threw several precious inkstones and broke several favorite wolf hairs for this matter.
Regarding these things in Tokyo, Li Chu only smiled.
Check it, if you can find it, there will be ghosts.
The seals on the troop transfer document are all produced by the system, and there are no internal ghosts, how can you find it?
During the period when Li Chu was campaigning to clear and suppress the rebellion in southern Jiangsu, Li Han also recruited many new soldiers in Ruzhou, Junzhou, Nanyang and other places, even if the forces of Wang Qing's rebellion had all been wiped out, and the land was replanned in these places, but there were still many people who returned to their original positions.
Moreover, in the past few years when Wang Qing made a big fuss in Huaixi, a large amount of land has also been abandoned, and it is not a day or two to return to the fields.
In addition to the land, many people also died during Wang Qing's time, especially some women, old people and children, the survivors are some young and strong, these young and strong parts are rearranged by the Qilin Army to farm again, and some people are not very willing, most of these people are captured by some of the original Wang Qing's thieves, some are from other places, anyway, they don't belong much in Nanyang, and their wives, sons and daughters are gone.
These people were the main source of Li Han's recruitment of soldiers this time.
A total of 150,000 people were recruited.
It's been more than seven months now, and these newcomers have been training for almost two months.
It can also be regarded as a soldier, and during this month, these new soldiers are also responsible for the search for robbers and other work in the area of Jingnan Road.
In Rufen Town, the rice-flowered rice in mid-February also ripens at the end of May.
Ruzhou and Nanyang are ripe, and they are all golden rice.
Especially the yield of rice flowers-scented seeds, when Li Chu advocated the new rice seed seed, he deliberately said that the harvest was lower, mainly because he was afraid that these people would not believe it, but thought that the Qilin Army was talking big and resisted the new seeds.
But when this kind of harvest is made, in front of all the people, all the harvest of an acre of land will be weighed in one scale, 1,500 catties......
Wow!
This number made all the people boil.
When the scale reached 800 catties, the faces of these people were already incredulous, and they were surprised, and when they exceeded 1,000 catties, they were even more excited and incoherent, and when all the final harvest reached 1,500 catties, they were crazy, all of them were crazy.
You can't do it if you're not crazy.
The rice planted last year, the harvest of this acre of land is only about 400 catties, and this has to be under the condition of good weather and wind.
But this year, the harvest has almost quadrupled, and this new seed is too much, too ......
Li Chu also knew about this matter, and he had already reported the results to Li Chu when he was ripe here.
When he heard about 1,500 catties, Li Chu was also surprised, unbelievable, even if this is a seed cultivated by special processing, it is impossible to be so rebellious, right?
But after thinking about it, it seems that this number is not wrong.
It's just because Li Chu ignored one thing.
The weight of a pound in the Song Dynasty was not the same as the weight of a pound in later generations.
The weight of the Northern Song Dynasty was about 640 grams, and one pound in later generations was equivalent to 0.8 kilograms in the Northern Song Dynasty.
That is to say, the 1,500 catties will shrink by 20 percent, and the final converted weight will be about 1,200 catties.
1,200 catties, the yield of one acre of land.
That's right.
In later generations, the yield of one acre of rice was also around this value.
Nowadays, all the fields planted here are the best and medium fields, and the fertility is good, and 1,200 catties is normal.
In addition to rice, some other crops have also matured, and the whole Ruzhou, Nanyang and other places have fallen into the joy of a bumper harvest.
After these rice are ripe, Shi Tianyi has divided a lot, some continue to be cultivated as good seeds, and some are eaten as food, but these so-called seeds, although they are well cultivated, it is just that the yield of the first generation is high, and the yield of the first generation is planted, and the harvest will be reduced by at least one-third.
Even if it is sharply reduced by one-third, the original seed ratio is still very unheavenly.
There is a bumper harvest here in Ruzhou, but here in Jiangnan is busy preparing for a new autumn ploughing.
The matter of the Huashi Gang is really too big.
Jiangnan's grain output has plummeted by more than half, especially in the past few years.
But this year, Fang La rebelled.
It's not good to choose the time, you have to choose it in May.
Fang La rebelled, and the peasants rebelled with him.
Fortunately, although this guy rebelled, he still organized a lot of people to harvest during the harvest period, otherwise where would the thieves who rebelled in Fangla have food to eat?
It's just that the rice ploughed in the spring is harvested, but what about the autumn planting?
The rebellion in the back is intensifying, who still has the heart to think about planting in the second half of the year?
They didn't want to, but Li Chu thought.
Now Zhu Mian and Fang La have been pacified.
Seeing that the season is about to pass, the first thing Shi Tianyi did after arriving in Jiangnan was to teach Li Chu a lesson about this matter, this time Shi Tianyi visited Jiangnan, in addition to understanding the specific situation in Jiangnan, but also organizing and encouraging the resumption of cultivation in Jiangnan.
While the agricultural time has not passed too far, some can be saved.
Autumn planting has begun on the Liangzhejiang Road side again, which makes it even more time and energy to fight.
