Spring is sunny and comfortable, no wonder some people say that spring is not a day to read. Li Chen, www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion, was a little drowsy, and he had to play the chapter in his hand, and he was about to fall.

'Whew, I almost fell asleep, it's so comfortable. Suddenly, with a shock to his body, Li Chen woke up, rubbed his eyes, and stretched his waist, a good April day in the world. Then, he continued to look at the chapters of Sinong Temple, which were all reports on the promotion of agriculture by the agricultural judges set up in various places. This newly established institution played a role in various localities in the spring of the fourth year of college and middle school.

This part is the newly reclaimed land of Anlezhou, Weizhou and other places, and the agricultural judge is advised, mainly talking about how to cooperate with the bank. The Xiang army finally built the road here, and then began to pioneer and start planting cotton.

However, the land has been allocated, but these victims have long since had nothing. The agricultural judges were persuaded to cooperate with the banks and lend them money to the seedlings and mortgage the fields.

It has the same name as Wang Anshi's change in history to get green seedling money. Although the land is mortgaged, the interest rate is very low, so many people borrow it. This is no longer the usury that used to be like a donkey rolling, and the peasants will no longer have to work for the landlord's family for life because they borrowed usury from the landlord and could not afford to repay the loan for several lifetimes.

However, this is not Li Chen's plagiarism, or rather, this is not Wang Anshi's first creation, the Tang Dynasty court, local government, there was a tradition of lending. And this seedling money is also part of it. The idea is the same as Wang Anshi. But why not be so famous?

In fact, Wang Anshi's green seedling money is indeed a moral government, the most bitter time for the people, is the time when the green and yellow are not received, last year's harvest grain was eaten, but the new grain has not yet landed, this is the saddest time for farmers.

Seedlings money can give them a break and not have to be saddled with usury. It's a good thing for the people.

However, everything will be established because of people, and it will be abolished because of people. Wang Anshi was in a hurry, and the little officials under him also took the opportunity to exploit it. In the end, a good government becomes a bad government.

The officials forced the people to borrow money they didn't need, and they didn't care if they could afford it. When it was time to repay the debt, they had to be severely recourse, forcing them to have no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth. Moreover, the interest rate was originally low, but they also raised it a lot, and took the opportunity to enrich their own pockets. Let a good government deteriorate! Notoriety has been passed down through the ages.

Of course, Li Chen would not be so stupid. He went through the bank, all over the Tang De Bank, and put green seedlings money. This will not be included in performance considerations. There will be no such thing as a petty official forcing the people to borrow.

However, this also makes it difficult for BIBS to expand. The traditional concept will not change at all, and the people will not borrow money if they can not borrow money. Merchants can borrow as much as they can.

Now, Li Chen cooperates with the agricultural judges in various places to promote the green seedling money, although it will not be included in the political achievements, but the performance has also improved a lot.

Using new farm tools to try to lure some people to borrow money, of course, is not to take advantage of the opportunity to exploit them, but to let them demonstrate how to produce more efficiently. The use of various farm tools is easier and the income can be more. This is also the characteristic of intensive farming.

Don't look down on the traditional intensive farming, in the modern society, the United Nations has made statistics, the traditional intensive farming, the yield per mu is higher than the American-style rough agriculture, the yield is higher. The disadvantage of intensive cultivation is that it is too labor-intensive, and it can only be applied in that kind of country where labor is cheap. Without machinery, a farmer simply can't grow much land. Like the United States, intensive cultivation will only lead to death.

Farmers need to use too many farm tools, so they have launched a variety of convenient and labor-saving farm tools to strengthen the efficiency of intensive farming, and their income can be more. However, even with a loan, farmers are unlikely to buy too much.

Therefore, at this time, the judge of persuasion is more effective. Agricultural Mutual Aid Society, established. Datang originally had various mutual aid cooperatives, and the mutual aid cooperatives referred to as agricultural cooperatives allowed farmers to help each other.

Of course, the detailed details, as well as the belt for further adjustments, what should I do if it is broken? Who's home for how much. Either way, it's a way to make farming easier. In an agrarian society, sowing and harvesting not only requires a lot of manpower.

Agricultural mutual aid cooperatives allow everyone to share labor-saving farm tools, and also help each other when manpower is needed through mutual aid cooperatives. Let farmers have sufficient labor when they need to rush for time. You can also use a variety of convenient agricultural tools to speed up efficiency.

Of course, everything has to be tested, and now it is used in the reclamation of several states of Anle. In addition to living before the harvest, you also need to buy farm tools. There are a lot of new farm tools, which are very useful, but farmers can't afford them.

Just through group buying and loans, as a pilot. It can be rolled out to other places in the future.

The next piece of music was written by the agricultural officials in the Xuzhou area. Of course, mutual aid cooperatives have more roles, this is written, the local use of cement, repair irrigation ditches, how to deploy manpower, how to repair ditches? How to use it after repair, this aspect of the problem.

Li Chen read it in three times and two times, this will be archived and promoted to other places in the future, which is of great value. Another is the local agricultural officer, who said how to demonstrate terraces and how to demonstrate the planting of kapok.

Persuading agricultural judges not only to promote some crops that have been planted for a long time, but also to promote some crops that are suitable for the local area and improve the local environment. Kapok is just a special case, Li Chen had already planted it a few years ago. In other places, agricultural judges have to be persuaded to plant various crops.

Li Chen has calculated that he will wait for the future to find the Americas and introduce various crops from the United States, and he will promote them through the persuasion of agricultural judges. There will never be a crop that can turn the fortunes of the country around, but it is ignored.

However, of course, this cannot be rashly promoted all at once, and it will be gradually piloted, tested from the local government fields, and by the way, let the people actually see the effect of this crop.

The peasants are the most stable, there is land, you don't have to worry about him running away, you don't have to worry about finding people for forced labor, you can't find people for taxation, but on the other hand, they are also the most conservative.

Any improvement in agriculture is necessary unless it actually results or, like yaks, it is clear that it can improve the shortcomings. None of them are likely to do. Especially to change the habit of planting. All this must be done by persuading the peasant judges.

There is a court to take the lead in demonstrating, using the local official field experiment, and the people will see the results, and they will follow. Of course, Li Chen will start the trial now, and will not wait for the discovery of the Americas to start. Another piece of music is written about the beginning of the promotion of crop rotation in the Jiangnan region.

Promote rotations? It seems redundant. In the Jiangnan region, it is not uncommon to generally implement the second round of rice sales. However, Li Chen is promoting the cultivation of various green manure crops. Green manure crops, on the one hand, can fertilize the field, on the other hand, can avoid many disasters.

Planting a single crop for a long time will cause soil loss, because a single crop will consume a lot of nutrients in the field, and in the long run, even if there is fertilization, it will make a field, the same crop, the harvest less and less.

In addition, long-term cultivation of a single crop can make it easier for pests and diseases to breed. Total pests specialize in eating a certain crop. Long-term monoculture will make them easy to breed. In addition, planting a certain crop on a large scale will allow pests and diseases to spread quickly when they breed. At this time, it is necessary to rotate the seeds.

However, this is not what Li Chen thought of. In fact, as early as hundreds of years ago, as far back as the Jin Dynasty, there was such a technology.

The Western Jin Dynasty "Guangzhi" records, "the grass, the color is green and yellow, purple flower, the rice is planted in December, it spreads and flourishes, and it can be beautiful", which is the earliest record of artificial cultivation of green manure.

During the Northern Wei Dynasty, the "Qi Min Yaoshu" further affirmed the yield increase effect of green manure and its position in crop rotation. The book points out that "mung beans are the top of all beautiful fields, followed by small beans and flax,...... Its beauty is the same as that of silkworm arrows and cooked dung."

However, what is written in the book is different from what the people actually do. Many people don't know. Some people know about it, but they don't know how it works, and they refuse to continue doing it for the sake of their livelihood.

What Li Chen wants to do is to test it for the people. And, one is to try to see as many people as possible. The second is to sort out the standardized methods for the farmers to remember. What to plant first, what to plant later, will not be in the wrong order, and it will be suitable for the local method.

This will take a long time, and ordinary farmers, how can they do it. How can there be a way to experiment? In case the harvest is not good that season, the whole family will starve to death, so the government can only do it.

In addition to farming, the agricultural judge also recorded the local climate and was responsible for the earliest weather records. Li Chen can read the chapter now, and one of them mentions that the spring rainfall in a certain place is not good, and a major drought may occur. With this basis, the imperial court can be prepared in advance, and there is no need to worry about the local officials deceiving them, even though there is no disaster, but they lie about the disaster and make profits.

In the Qing Dynasty, there was such an incident, lying about the disaster, on the one hand, defrauding relief, on the other hand, to obtain tax reductions, and they filled their own pockets with taxes.

If there is a place to persuade the agricultural judge, there is no need to worry about this kind of thing. I am not afraid of any officials to protect each other. The magistrate, even if he is a festival envoy, can't control the head of the agricultural judge, and the agricultural judge has jurisdiction, and in the imperial court, in the Sinong Temple, the promotion is also in the ministry. There will be no such thing as a government protecting each other.

The next piece is more interesting, which is a persuasion of agricultural judges in Shu to refuse and promote cash crops, believing that this will cause social instability.

Growing sugar cane and developing the sugar industry are goals that have been set a few years ago. Sugarcane is more profitable and can increase farmers' income, but planting sugarcane will crowd out the space for growing grain.

In the Ming Dynasty, Songjiang Mansion was known as the beauty of the world. The local cotton textile industry is extremely developed. One house alone can provide half of the cotton cloth in the world. Because weaving cloth was profitable, the local people also switched to planting cotton, and at that time, some people proposed to ban or limit the planting area of the people.

Food, regardless of the age, is very important, especially in ancient times. If you grow cotton, you can't grow food, which will reduce food production, increase instability, and if there is any natural disaster or artificially inflated prices, there will be turmoil.

Now the same thing has happened, and the judge of the peasant persuasion has written to discourage such behavior, and the reason is similar. Li Chen raised his pen and drew a few times, and refuted the chapter, only saying that the imperial court had a comprehensive consideration. Still, he rewarded the peasant officer.

In Li Chen's opinion, this is very funny. However, this is also a big problem in detail, and it is indeed worth considering. However, Li Chen already had an overall plan. If there is someone who thinks he is smart and wants to seize this loophole, he will only make himself miserable, very miserable.

Li Chen wouldn't know now that this kind of thing would happen a few years later. When the people of a certain place became rich because of the sugarcane planting, more people were attracted to switch to sugarcane. Then on the street, a beggar appeared, kept muttering to himself, his body kept swaying back and forth, and kept saying something, and he got the people with money, and when he passed by, he saw this person, and some gave him a few pennies.

Some of them were full of disgust. A woman walks by with her child and takes the opportunity to tell him that he must have a conscience or he will be like him.

'How is it possible, how is it possible. If you get close enough, you can hear the beggar, squinting and not seeing, but the whole person is stupid and keeps saying this.

He had purchased a large amount of grain, but he had raised the price of grain in the nearby counties very high. Just wait for the food to run out and make a lot of money. When the price was doubled, he was not satisfied, and three times was too little. Five times, and so on.

When the people were so angry that they surrounded the grain store, even if they broke the grain store's warehouse, they couldn't see a single rice. He was laughing. Even, he deliberately pretended to be a good person and opened a porridge factory, and when those people broke their heads for that little gruel, he was also laughing and laughing even more happily.

Only when many people have to borrow, he can't laugh a little, originally this is what he expected to be good, taking advantage of this food shortage, buying a large amount of land, Shu land to get land, only more and more valuable, the people are not willing to sell. He wants to take advantage of this food shortage and buy a large amount of money, which is a rare opportunity, and the sins are all in the stupid court.

His only concern is that other big farmers will compete with him, although many of them are rushing to switch to sugarcane, because the benefits far exceed that of growing grain.

I hate the government, I hate the bank, what kind of seedling money, the interest rate is so low, so he can't put the money in print.

Then, what broke him down even more. Just as he was waiting, the price of food plummeted, and a large amount of grain poured in from other places.

I saw boats and truckloads of grain pouring into the surrounding villages and cities, and the originally high grain prices dived overnight.

The price of grain, which had risen more than five times, fell back to the market price in an instant, and was even cheaper than the usual market price. He panicked and wanted to get food in his hands.

It's late... So here he is. His family property was lost overnight, and in order to buy food, he also borrowed a lot of money from India. As a result, now that the price of food has plummeted, he wants to jump off the building.

But before he jumped off the building, he was imprisoned. Somehow the government collected evidence that he had hoarded food and found more food than he normally needed at his house, he was fined heavily and imprisoned for a year. After being released from prison, he could only beg.

He still couldn't figure out how the government could react so quickly. (To be continued.) )
