86_86695 People in ancient societies were not resistant to pesticides, and the land and pests in ancient societies naturally had no resistance to pesticides.

Before the end of August 1620, thousands of acres of barren land near Wangfu Town were used to use high-yielding and drought-tolerant varieties of corn from modern society, which were the first to ripen.

Because the agricultural workers who planted these lands, under the command of the instructors, strictly followed the requirements of the "Planting Manual" and used chemical fertilizers and pesticides reasonably. These seeds that have gone through time and space travel have given Wang Shuhui a satisfactory answer.

The corn planted near Wangfu Town has reached the level of an average yield of 700 catties per mu. Although this figure is only about half of the yield per mu of corn in modern society. However, this is also several times higher than the average yield of one or two hundred catties of indigenous corn per mu in the late Ming Dynasty.

Wang Shuhui once again opened his golden finger in the harvesting work. In this harvesting activity, he used a steam tractor specially ordered from a modern machine processing factory to carry out the corn harvesting work.

Speaking of which, in modern society, thanks to the fact that China has become the world's largest industrial country. A backward thing like a steam tractor, which only exists in museums, can be customized in various small and medium-sized enterprises in modern China. Although the eyes of the heads of the companies that received the orders were a little strange, these steam tractors produced in China in 2015 were not as large and unreliable as they were in history.

The steam tractors produced in modern factories are only a little larger than ordinary diesel tractors. From the perspective of the last years of the Ming Dynasty and even the first industrial revolution, these steam tractors are small, exquisite, flexible and strong.

Wang Shuhui himself does not have too clever strategic vision. All he had was knowledge that transcended time and space, and a firm belief in the true natural sciences and social sciences. This belief in him gave him a special respect for the development of history and was able to make the right choices.

For example, the policy of the agrarian revolution; For example, only by opposing feudalism can we develop the guiding ideology of productive forces. For another example, the current behavior of letting the soldiers of the Fuxing Security Corps operate these steam tractors is a decision made by Wang Shuhui based on known history.

Wang Shuhui knew that in a backward social environment, it was completely impossible to establish an advanced political organization all at once by relying solely on regular education and training. If you want to combine it with historical reality in the feudal society of the last years of the Ming Dynasty, consider the complex social conditions of this era, and quickly cultivate an advanced organization, you must adopt the military government first.

Naturally, it is not fascism or militarism.

Wang Shuhui pays great attention to drawing nourishment from known history. The reason why he attaches importance to army building is that he is prepared to reform the minds of the people in the army through a highly organized and disciplined group like the guò army. He wanted to build his Renaissance Armed Forces into a multifunctional organization that would not only possess strong military strength, but also knowledge that was ahead of the times, and could also spread the ideas of the Renaissance Society.

Let the army get in touch with advanced production tools as much as possible, so that they can intuitively feel the atmosphere of the steam age. Even, let them be the first to be able to master the new productive forces. This is the reason why Wang Shuhui organized the soldiers of the Fuxing Regiment (referred to as the Fuxing Security Corps) to be familiar with and master the steam tractor, which was definitely an epoch-making artifact in the late Ming Dynasty.

Speaking of which, it is of course simpler and more convenient to take the diesel tractor directly from the modern society. Diesel tractors are undoubtedly better than steam tractors in terms of operation and stability. That's for sure.

However, Wang Shuhui clearly knows that in the future time and space, the basic stage of scientific and technological development. Historically, the first industrial revolution came after the widespread use of the steam engine. He believes that climbing the tech tree must follow the inevitable steps of historical development.

What's more, on the other hand, the fuel problem of modern tractors with diesel power could not be solved in the time and space of the last years of the Ming Dynasty. You can't always transport the fuel from the modern era, and the fuel must be transported from the modern era. And the steam engine made in China in the 21st century is not much worse than the diesel tractor in terms of performance. And because in the Hubei region, and even near Zhijiang County, there are many coal mines. In this way, the use of steam tractors does not have the problem of zài fuel.

Even without coal, it would be the same for a steam tractor to burn wood and crop straw or something. In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, there was no Greens who made trouble everywhere.

There are about 5,000 acres of barren land near Wangfu Town and around Jiangbei Village. Of the more than 5,000 acres of land, 2,000 acres were planted with corn. With the efforts of more than 1,000 soldiers of the newly formed revival regiment and peasants and workers of the agricultural and industrial battalions, 2,000 acres of corn were quickly harvested using tractors and special corn harvesters.

According to the calculations of the statisticians of the Statistical Committee, nearly 1.5 million catties of corn were harvested from these 2,000 acres. If calculated according to the need for five catties of food per person per day. A person needs to consume about 1,900 catties of grain every year. From this point of view, this 1.5 million catties of grain can supply up to 790 people for a year's consumption. At present, the number of people who rely on Wang Shuhui for food has reached 14,500.

Fortunately, Wang Shuhui is not short of food. Because, he can pass through the gate of time and space, and easily buy various types of food from modern society. More importantly, he did not lack land in the last years of the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, just near Wangfu Town, there are more than 3,000 acres of sweet potatoes and potatoes with higher yields waiting to be harvested.

Wang Shuhui has his own plan for this more than one million catties of grain.

At this stage, none of the members of the entire palace town eat corn. The grain eaten by nearly 2,000 people is all fine grains such as rice, white flour, and other fine grains purchased in the market at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, because the vast majority of the people in the camp were singles, almost all of them did not have a gang in their own homes. Everyone's food and drink are all provided by the big canteen in the camp.

Wang Shuhui was originally thinking about the issue of making military rations. In his opinion, simple foods such as compressed biscuits are good field military rations. For a long time in the armed forces of various countries in later generations, these things that looked dry and tasted rough have always been the main content of the field military rations of the troops of various countries in the world.

However, Wang Shuhui did not mean that field military rations would be produced immediately. Because not long ago, he found that when Sima Feng was transporting manpower, due to the long distance and lack of food, it was very unfavorable to recruit manpower. Wang Shuhui thought that in order to help Sima Feng better complete the task he gave him. It is necessary to develop a travel ration that is small, lightweight, easy to carry and nutritious at the same time.

Wang Shuhui considered instant noodles and ham sausages, which were common travel foods in later generations. However, because the plastic bags of ham sausages need to be based on the chemical industry, tinplate is needed even to make luncheon meat, so the ham sausage food was first abandoned by Wang Shuhui. While instant noodles require a large amount of edible oil processing, hot water cannot be effectively guaranteed in the harsh transportation process, so instant noodles were also abandoned by Wang Shuhui.

Wang Shuhui was eventually inspired by something that he himself transported from modern times to the end of the Ming Dynasty. It was just a bunch of bean cakes to feed the pigs.

After Wang Shuhui saw the bean cake, he immediately thought of the idea of hybrid compressed biscuits. As long as the corn kernels are processed and the chicken nuggets are processed in a large boiler with a large amount of salt and processed in a large boiler (the chicken and eggs in the whole Wangfu Town are in oversupply), it becomes a hard cake with abundant vegetable protein and animal protein.

Wang Shuhui's idea soon became a reality. The forge, which had already been built and was intended to be used for the processing of pig iron, was disinfected and temporarily converted into a processing site for travel rations. The steam-powered press, which was originally used to process wrought iron barrels, was temporarily transformed into a press machine specifically used to press food.

After putting the corn and chicken nuggets processed by the large boiler into a special mold in the stamping machine, and opening the valve of the motor machine, I saw that the hammer only rose and fell once, and a square cake was produced.

Except for Wang Shuhui, everyone at the processing site received a yellow-white square hard cake. Wang Shuhui verified his idea nearby.

Judging from the feedback from the scene, in addition to being a little hard, the taste of this travel ration is still good. In the words of a worker in a forging shop, "except a little harder, a little thicker." The texture of this cake is still okay. It's a hundred times better than what they ate when they were outcasts. ”

The words of the worker in the forging workshop were exactly the result that Wang Shuhui wanted. Yes, how can a homeless person who can't even save his life think about what tastes bad or not. Some of them have to thank God for eating.

Wang Shuhui himself tried his own invention. His own feeling is that the taste of the hard cake is okay, but it is more difficult to chew. It's just that after eating half a hard cake, Wang Shuhui's cheeks and temples are very sore. Not to mention the taste, what it feels like to chew sawdust, what it feels like to chew this hard cake.

But this thing is quite capable of coaxing the belly. Wang Shuhui only swallowed a few mouthfuls of hard cakes, and he felt full in his stomach. Moreover, Wang Shuhui found that there is no need to worry about eating this thing, such as the problem of poor excretion after eating those compressed biscuits in later generations. Because corn itself is an easy thing to digest and smooth the intestines.

However, Wang Shuhui still feels that this kind of hard cake has a drawback. A hard cake consisting only of corn and chicken, lacking the vitamins that the body needs.

However, Wang Shuhui does not have a good way to solve this problem. Because it is pressed into a hard cake, it is not made from dehydrated materials. Therefore, the shelf life of hard cakes is only five or six days longer than normal. If perishable vegetables are pressed into the hard bread, the shelf life of this travel ration will be reduced.

The current reality is that the issue of shelf life is more important than the issue of nutritional balance
