Chapter 171 Agricultural Survey

With the end of the riots in Shiga, the speed of the Kira family's land inspection has suddenly increased by a notch, and even the people of Takashima County have immediately become honest, and anyone who does not have a long eye to mention that the county division is not in the case of death, these people can see very clearly, the old Yamaoka Jingyuki of the Rokkaku family, this is an old minister who follows the three generations of Rokkaku Clan, Rokkaku Dinglai, and Rokkaku Yoshiken.

In Shiga and Kurita, a powerful samurai with a large number of direct leaders, they were deprived of all the territories of Shiga County in the blink of an eye, and their small body in Takashima County could withstand the murderous Kira Yoshi? The answer is negative, so this group of Chinese people are as soft as a noodle, not to mention that you are checking the household registration, I will let you check, it only took less than a month, and all this will end quickly.

The results came out, which surprised Kira Yoshitoki, the total stone height of the two counties reached 128,500 stones, such a high stone height was completely beyond his expectations, that is to say, the hidden fields of the people of the two counties have been turned out over the years, and now their family background has been completely exposed under the nose of Kira Yoshishi.

Another set of data is the survey of land fertility, in which Shimoda accounts for 20%, Nakata 50%, and Ueda 30%, which is better than he expected, which shows that Omi's land fertility is planted, which is a good thing, and of course it can be done better, that is, farm fertilizer.

Japan's agriculture is really quite backward, poor and white without decent products, and the Ming Dynasty in addition to silver, pure copper, there are only sulfur, katana, folding fans these few things, other things either not into the eyes of the Ming Dynasty at all, or at all, for example, Japan in this era will only burn pottery, really learn to burn porcelain will have to wait until a few decades later.

Just like Japan's Ma Zheng is a mess, Japan's agriculture is also rotten enough, Ermaozuo sprinkled good seeds, watered the fields dry, dug a ditch to drain some water when the rain was more, removed the grass in the fields, and the birds came to peck at the ears of rice and took bamboo poles to drive them away, and the rest of the nothing to do was to drink some grain and eat miscellaneous grains to starve until the autumn harvest.

I don't know how to rotate crops or fertilize, and even if Japan has long introduced agricultural books such as "Qi Min Yaoshu", it is only regarded as an academic research intention by cultural people, as for how to apply the knowledge to practice...... This is a complete joke, cultural people are all nobles who don't touch the spring water with their fingers, who cares about the life or death of mud legs.

So Kira Yoshitoki thought of fertilizer, as far as he knew, there was manure, green manure, and the best way to use high-temperature composting, these fertilizers can be used from now on to the autumn planting winter crops, and now it is too late, but next year's spring sowing before the application of basal fertilizer, after sowing jointing fertilizer, and then when the ear is set, the ear fertilizer is applied again.

It can be a great help to improve soil fertility, and in combination with the government decree that cattle and horses are cultivated and sold in the town, which is promoted in the Sakamoto Rakushi ordinance, you can rely on a large amount of cow and horse manure as fertilizer, and you don't have to worry about the lack of fertilizer.

According to the survey, Sakamoto and Katata are large mountainous and hilly areas with a concentration of shimoda, and the so-called Shimoda means that the grain output is small, and it is inconvenient to establish paddy fields and cannot grow rice.

At the same time, he also found that Omi's specialty tea was concentrated in the mountains and hills at high altitudes, and that the annual Omi mountain tea would attract many tea merchants to purchase, so Kira Yoshitoki asked the entourage to go down to the villages to listen to the opinions of the local underground elders, level the mountainous areas suitable for tea planting, and encourage them to start planting tea seedlings in the spring.

Kira Yoshitoki also proposed a tax reform decree, which allowed farmers who did not produce grain to be taxed according to the market value of the goods, which meant that the ministers would take the merchants to the countryside when collecting taxes, and the merchants would negotiate the price of the collected goods with the local underground elders and merchants, and the merchants would immediately purchase them, and the farmers could also send representatives to supervise the purchases.

At the same time, after the taxation of tea farmers, it was decided to use tea as an annual payment, and at the same time he also asked tea farmers to provide tea seeds, and the tea seeds provided by Kira will be paid according to the price of ordinary rapeseed, tea farmers do not understand what the principle is, anyway, tea seeds are not worth much, and the tea seeds that bear fruit every year are lost, and it is not bad to exchange for a little money.

In fact, tea seeds can be squeezed for oil, of course, this can not be compared with the camellia that specializes in oil extraction, both the taste and the economic value are poor camellia oil, and the tea seed oil squeezed out is not delicious, because the tea seed oil tastes different according to different tea types, some taste greasy and some are astringent, but it is not that this tea seed oil is not good, on the contrary, the nutritional content of tea seed oil is even slightly better than that of camellia oil.

First of all, tea seed oil is a very high-grade tonic, for people with qi and blood deficiency, you can add tea seed oil when making soup to enhance immunity, improve disease resistance, regulate the body, and replenish the effect of qi and blood.

In addition, tea seed oil is also a very good natural cosmetics, anti-wrinkle and anti-aging, so that the skin is lubricated and shiny, and it also has a good effect on the dry climate and irritability, and the lips are dry.

He planned to collect tea seeds and press them into tea seed oil, and then add a variety of petals to make high-grade essential oils, whether it was sold to Sakai Town, Kyoto's wealthy merchants, or sold to the Netherlands, the Portuguese and Spaniards must have been able to make huge profits.

Another important point is that a large number of tea seed cakes can be produced in the process of tea seed pressing, which is the tea residue in the oil extraction process, because of the tea leaves, which are perennial longevity trees, whether it is tea seed oil or the tea seed cake pressed out of the tea seed cake is the best thing, there is no better existence than tea seed cake in the cake fertilizer.

Because tea trees like to grow in the mountains at high altitudes, which also happens to be in line with the situation that the fields on the mountains lack living water and cannot grow rice, the water and soil in Omi Province are very good, and the adjacent Lake Biwa is basically the middle and upper class fields, and those fields are just suitable for planting tea trees, but it is a pity that it will take at least five or six years to produce economic benefits after planting new tea trees, and he can only take precautions to find an industry for local farmers.

At the end of May, Ashikaga Yoshito issued an order to the Koga countryman Eihara Echizen Mamoru to renew the order of Chiyuki in Nosu County of Omi Province, and then at the beginning of June, he issued an order to the Imperial Shogunate in Yamashiro Kunishina Township, Yamashiro Province, and issued an order for the Imperial Book of the Maiden that only the emperor and the emperor could use, which marked the full revival of the power of the Ashikaga shogun's family, and the secretary of state gradually favored the shogunate.
