Chapter 81 Agricultural Waste

On October 23, the ninth year of Tang Wude, it was exactly seven days after Chen Fei took office as the county magistrate of Shuo County, and Chen Fei's current work is also on the right track. However, Chen Fei knew that now he was just Xiao Gui Cao Sui, and he had no characteristics. If this continues, Chen Fei will only be able to be a justice of the peace, and he will not be able to make too many achievements. If you want to make a difference, these means alone are not enough. If there are no special means, I'm afraid that's it. After all, if it is only based on the natural growth of population and land, it is very slow. After all, Chen Fei was already able to guess the growth rate of population and arable land. If these methods are still used, the people's livelihood will not change much. If there isn't much to change, how can you make a difference? If you don't have political achievements, how can you be worthy of coming here?

"How do you get started?" Chen Fei was a little helpless, he really didn't know how to create political achievements, how to improve people's livelihood, he didn't know how to start, and he couldn't find the insertion point.

"Huh? What does it taste like? Chen Fei asked suddenly.

And Yang Jiaxiang, the secretary of the office, immediately said: "Chen County Order, this is burning something below." ”

"Burn something? Such a big smell, do we even smell it in the city? Chen Fei asked.

Yang Jiaxiang said: "Chen County Order, you turned out to be a noble person in Chang'an, so naturally you don't know that we are here." We all grow wheat here, and every year when we harvest the wheat, we have to crush the wheat and take out the kernels inside. After that, the outer shell and straw of these wheat kernels are also dried, and then burned after a while to prevent them from taking up space! And before Chen Xian ordered you to take office, we had just harvested once, and at that time the people had paid the taxes of the imperial court, and then they began to crush the husks of wheat. After that, we have to start storing the dried wheat and waiting for a year's worth of food. ”

Chen Fei also understood that this is also the cycle problem of agriculture. When Chen Fei took office, he had just harvested once, and the people had paid their taxes, and now they had crushed the husks of these wheat and harvested the wheat. As for the husks of the rest of the wheat, and the straw of the wheat, they were to be burned.

Chen Fei suddenly remembered that he was a soldier in the army before he crossed over, and the troops were only able to receive a few TVs. And among these stations, there is one station, that is, the seven sets of central television stations. And that TV tower is a military agriculture channel, and it is responsible for broadcasting programs on military agriculture. Although Chen Fei is a soldier, because this channel not only broadcasts military, but also broadcasts agricultural knowledge, Chen Fei also pays attention to some columns of agriculture. And what Chen Fei pays the most attention to is a column called the Book of Prosperity, which has many methods of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery to get rich, and tells the stories of many people who have made a fortune with the help of agriculture.

Chen Fei has always been envious, jealous and hateful to the people inside, and he has not thought that after he retires, he can start a farm and ranch, so that he may be able to get rich. But the little retirement fee after Chen Fei retired was not enough to invest! In addition, Chen Fei didn't take long to cross, so I don't know who is cheaper than the discharge fee!

"Wheat straw, and wheat husks? Wheat straw is a nice thing that contains some nutrients that can be used to feed livestock. However, it seems that it is only possible to feed cattle and sheep, and it is not realistic to raise cattle and sheep at present, after all, there are not too many cattle and sheep in this era, so just relying on such a little cattle and sheep cannot digest so much straw. ”

"In later generations, all kinds of straw were either sent to thermal power stations or used to ferment biogas. Thermal power plants are not realistic, but biogas is even less realistic, and it does not have the capacity to use biogas now. Wheat straw was used for too little in ancient times, and there was no way to create value for the people. ”

Chen Fei has always wanted to find a way to increase the income of the people, but as for the way to increase grain production, Chen Fei did not know. And even if there is a way to increase grain production, Chen Fei can't do it! The yield of later generations is so high, in fact, it is only by relying on chemical fertilizers and high-quality hybrid rice and other things that it can have such a high yield in later generations. Therefore, it is impossible to make chemical fertilizers and hybrid rice in ancient times. Chen Fei didn't even learn agricultural genetics, even if he searched on the Internet with a mobile phone, he couldn't understand it! Therefore, it is impossible to make hybrid rice, and this idea can be completely abandoned.

Therefore, Chen Fei also wanted to think of ways in other aspects, such as using some agricultural garbage to turn waste into treasure. Chen Fei immediately began to search his intestines and ponder the contents of the Prosperity Sutra in later generations, hoping to find some good ways to turn these agricultural wastes into treasures, which can also increase the income of the people. As long as the people increase their income, it is a good way to change people's livelihood. Since ancient times, officials have not always hoped to increase people's income and increase grain production, isn't it a good thing? Agricultural output can be the foundation of a country's stability, and the increase of peasants' incomes is the foundation of a country's true tranquility. This is especially true in ancient times, when more than 90 percent of the population were peasants, so if we could increase the income of peasants, it would definitely be a great achievement. Whether it is good for the country, the people, or even for the future of their own officialdom, it is all good.

"Yang Shuzuo, you first help me inform those people as a county order, don't burn these straws and those wheat husks first. These are all treasures, and if used well, they can bring income! Chen Fei said.

Yang Jiaxiang asked curiously: "What is the use of these wheat stalks and those wheat husks?" If it is useful, won't the people use it themselves, and will they burn it? ”

"Of course it's useful, and it's still useful!" Chen Fei said.

Yang Jiaxiang saw Chen Fei say so firmly, and he didn't have a bottom in his heart. After all, he looked at Chen Fei, and Chen Fei was a particular person, not a farmer. Although Chen Fei's skin looks a little dark, this kind of tanning is definitely not produced by doing farm work. And Chen Fei also relied on the imperial examination, so he should be a literati. It is said that literati are not diligent in their limbs and do not distinguish between grains and grains, so Chen Fei actually said that he could use these straws and wheat husks to increase the income of the people, and Yang Jiaxiang didn't believe it.

"Okay, I'll immediately go and mobilize the government and inform the people under our Shuo County, so that they can stop burning these things!" Yang Jiaxiang said.

Although Yang Jiaxiang didn't believe that Chen Fei could make money out of these wheat straws and wheat husks, who made him the county magistrate, as a scribe who was not even an official, where could he go against the will of his boss, he could only honestly inform him.
