Chapter 5 Preparation 1
86_86695Wang Shuhui's understanding of the whole world is based on industrial civilization. He knows this. How big is the gap between industrial civilization and agricultural civilization, you can ask the Neanderthals who were eaten as food by modern Homo sapiens, or you can ask the Indians who were almost genocidal under the arquebus and smallpox virus of the Western colonizers. Like the relationship between different cosmic civilizations written by the science fiction god Liu Cixin in "The Three-Body Problem", civilizations of different levels still follow the law of the jungle even in the cosmic environment.
In Wang Shuhui's eyes, people in an agrarian society are only objects that need to be transformed and educated, and there is no other meaning other than that.
Therefore, in the process of considering how to carry out reform in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Shuhui considered more problems of agriculture, industry, science and technology, and ideology and culture.
In just one night, Wang Shuhui didn't have time to think too much about it. But he knew that in an agrarian society, the problem of agriculture has always been the first problem. The so-called instability without agriculture is not possible, no matter what kind of plan is carried out, without a stable and sufficient supply of food. The most important thing to solve the grain problem at the end of the Ming Dynasty is to popularize drought-resistant and cold-resistant high-yield crops. In the harsh climate of the Xiaoice River, high-yielding cold-tolerant crops can also be guaranteed, mainly corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, pumpkins and other things. They are characterized by the fact that they can guarantee high yields even at the level of backward ancient agricultural technology.
Wang Shuhui understands that the yield of corn per mu in the northeast is about 1,000 catties, which is the yield under the condition that it is planted in the field and cannot be intensively cultivated. Of course, chemical fertilizers and pesticides should also be carried out, and irrigation should also be in place.
The yield per mu of sweet potatoes is more exaggerated. Under the condition of careful cultivation, the yield per mu is generally more than 4,000 catties. It is very common for some high-yield varieties to yield more than 10,000 catties per mu. The kind of one planted in front of the house and behind the house, without chemical fertilizers and pesticides, the yield per mu is more than 1,000 catties.
The yield of potatoes is also very high, and the yield per mu in the northeast is generally about three or four thousand catties. As a native of Heilongjiang, a major pumpkin province, Wang Shuhui is very clear about the yield of pumpkins, and the yield of pumpkins per mu is generally more than 2,000 catties. If you carry out hanging planting, that is, build a pole to let the pumpkin grow upwards and make full use of the space, it is normal for the yield per mu to exceed 5,000 catties.
However, Wang Shuhui also knows a very simple common sense, the reason why these crops have high yields is achieved under the conditions of great development of agricultural science and technology. According to what Wang Shuhui has learned, the reason why these crops are highly productive is that after the 80s of the 20 th century, the state's investment in agricultural science and technology has enabled many crops to be improved and many high-yielding and excellent varieties have been produced.
Of course, Wang Shuhui knew that in the environment of the last years of the Ming Dynasty, it was impossible for these crops to have such a high yield. During this period, the yield of local crops in the Ming Dynasty, corn, wheat and rice was about the same, that is, about fifty kilograms, and the yield of sweet potatoes was relatively high, about two or three hundred catties. The pumpkin is better, and it will not exceed three hundred catties.
But Wang Shuhui will not have a golden finger and do not use it, he must buy seeds from modern times to cultivate in the Ming Dynasty, no matter what crop, he is ready to go to the agricultural science and technology department to buy the highest yield varieties. What he cares about is the yield, whether it tastes good or not, he won't think about it. Under the conditions of the late Ming Dynasty, some of them were already lucky to eat, and the aborigines of the late Ming Dynasty would not care about the taste of the food.
Since Wang Shuhui is ready to create a career at the end of the Ming Dynasty, then the identity problem must be solved, but this is not a big deal. After that, it was also a simple matter to ask Zhu Youzi to help and get a household registration in Zhijiang County.
On the other hand, Wang Shuhui also has to cover up the passage gate that may gradually shrink. His plan is also very simple, in modern times, he found the garden department to rent a piece of land in Yue Yuan for half a year, build a large shed, and isolate the crossing door. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, he was going to transport a large container and pass through the door frame into the container, and the two ends of the container became a simple passage through the two worlds.
Of course, this also has to ensure that Zhu Youzi's father and daughter will not be suspicious. However, this is not too much of a problem, the crossing door will gradually become smaller in the process of use, and may even disappear at the end, and it is enough to ensure the confidentiality of the crossing door during this time.
There is a small business selling prefabricated houses near Wang Shuhui's house, and a second-hand container is only 20,000 or 30,000 yuan. He spent some money on several second-hand shipping containers.
In addition to these things, Wang Shuhui also has to consider the imminent issue of self-preservation. However, these are easy to do, and it is relatively simple to buy some protective firearms through some means. The point is that when the armed forces are built up in the future, the question of what weapons to let the soldiers use is a big question, and he has not carefully considered this. He knew that the first priority was to protect the crossing gate.
Early the next morning, Wang Shuhui contacted the garden department, and in the morning he rented the eastern half of Yue Garden in the name of an open-air warehouse at a very low price. In order to pull the relationship, the management actually agreed to the conditions of payment after the fact. He first used a movable board house to pass through the door frame into the board house, and then through a small construction unit, he built a large construction hall outside the board house, and then rented a forklift to transport the second-hand containers he bought into the Ming Dynasty. In this way, a crossing passage with both sides of the container as the passage entrance is simply completed.
Zhijiang Wang Farewell Garden is located on the outskirts of Zhijiang County, and the geographical location is quite desolate. A large manor house, built in front of a hill that is not low, surrounded by wasteland. Originally, these lands also belonged to the Zhijiang Palace, but even if the title of the palace was taken away, the land was taken back by the government, because it was a wasteland not far from the Yangtze River, and no one cultivated it. For two or three miles around, there were no people. Therefore, Wang Shuhui's small forklift and the noise generated by the process of handling containers were not heard by anyone except Zhu Youzi's father and daughter.
Wang Shuhui himself is not very good at lying, and Zhu Youzi's father and daughter are not very concerned about other things except for their livelihood. Regarding the statement that Wang Shuhui was refining the elixir for Zhu Youzi's treatment, Zhu Youzi's father and daughter believed it very lightly. And for the dilapidated back garden, the two are also very jealous. Wang Shuhui understands this situation very well. During the Ming Dynasty, the wind of witchcraft in Hubei was very prosperous, and the famous Daojun Emperor was from Anlu, Hubei. Therefore, the Hubei people of the Ming Dynasty more or less believed in ghosts and gods.
Wang Shuhui handed over the forged degree to Zhu Youzi and asked him to help settle the book. Although it is a down-and-out royal family, Zhu Youzi still has this face in Zhijiang County. Under the pretext of alchemy retreat, Wang Shuhui took a few sets of porcelain from Zhu Youzi, which he was going to use as a purchase fund in modern times to realize the treasure in modern times
