Chapter Thirty-Six: A Bumper Agricultural Harvest
For a long time, Lin Yang had a headache thinking about it, and the memory of the original body was also searched several times, but he still didn't find any good opportunities. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At least, the imaginary plot of a peerless powerhouse, for some reason, fell into the mortal dust, and then happened to be encountered, rescued and broken through by himself, I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't expect it.
That's right, a fifth-order powerhouse, even a fifth-order powerhouse whose strength has plummeted, which one is not the center of the world's attention? Even if there is really such an opportunity, there are so many Taoist priests who are proficient in the Heavenly Machine Mathematics Technique, can it still be their turn?
As for helping fifth-order powerhouses break through and then subdue them, it's even more unreliable. If the fifth order breaks through the sixth order, he may be able to break through with external force, but at least Lin Yang doesn't have the ability.
If you really have this ability, you might as well cultivate your own people! After thinking about it, he didn't find any fifth-order powerhouses that he could recruit.
To put it bluntly, the size of Wu is too small, but it is just a million people. Any fifth-order earth immortal cultivator who comes over and is ruthless can wipe out the millions of people in Wu Kingdom!
If the Wu Kingdom at this time had a population of hundreds of millions, and at the same time, it had successfully carried out cross-dimensional wars and conquered other worlds, it would have been really possible to subdue the fifth-order powerhouses.
In short, it's too weak!
After thinking about it, there were still no good ideas, so Lin Yang pushed open the door and went out. When you can't figure it out, just take a stroll around and think it's a good thing to relax.
Soon, accompanied by the guards, Lin Yang began to inspect his territory like a mountain king.
As I walked, I saw an acquaintance, Guo Jia, who was also my civil administrator. I also had a stack of papers in my hand, and it looked like I had been waiting for me for a long time.
At this time, Guo Jia was a little tired, and his hair was a little scattered. It is said that in recent times, I have been working overtime. I only sleep for two hours a day, and I am very diligent and conscientious.
"Yo, Fengxiao, you're not in there to deal with government affairs, why are you free?" Lin Yang joked.
Hearing this, Guo Jia rolled his eyes angrily, and then said, "Lord, this is the information of the recent harvest." As he spoke, he handed over a stack of papers. It's a finger thick, and it adds up to dozens of pages.
Seeing this, Lin Yang knew that he couldn't be in the hee-hee-ha, it was time to be serious. Otherwise, it's a bit out of place.
After taking the document, Lin Yang subconsciously looked at the cover, looked at the catalog, and looked at the title.
There is nothing to say on the cover, it is a blank piece of paper, which is imprinted with the two seal characters of Wu Guo, and at the same time, there is this faint ink painting as the background.
Needless to say, I also know that this is what Lin Yang deliberately did. The purpose is to imperceptibly. These office workers, facing the two big characters of Wu Guo every day, will always have some influence.
Maybe not much, but as long as you insist, you can influence them in all aspects, such as some official rewards and packaging, there are similar things. Although it may seem inconspicuous, it is in fact rapidly assimilating the bureaucracy of the entire state of Wu.
The title is the detailed rules for the harvest of a certain year in Wu Guo.
Flipping through the table of contents, after opening the text, Lin Yang began to look it up. However, after watching it for a while, Lin Yang found that he didn't understand these things very well. I couldn't see anything special, so I said directly: "Fengxiao, you can explain it to me." ”
Looking at Lin Yang's expressionless face, Guo Jia nodded with satisfaction. If you don't understand, you ask, instead of pretending to understand if you don't know how to do it, and it's already good to be blind there. After all, if you are not afraid of a god-like opponent, you are afraid of a teammate like a pig. It's not a pig teammate, you can't ask for more.
"Our yield per mu is eleven stones on average, is this really the case? No deception? I'm referring to the specific yield, is there really so much? Lin Yang said with some seriousness.
After all, this can almost be regarded as the result of a year of hard work, and it is still the first year, Lin Yang is naturally very interested in these things. In the future, with the passage of time, with the expansion of the territory, and with the increase of the population, I am afraid that there will be less and less interest.
"The yield per mu is indeed eleven stones, that is, 1,100 catties, at first I was surprised when I got the news, but in fact it is all true. I have seen it with my own eyes, and I cannot fake it! Guo Jia said seriously.
"Oh, so what is the production of this year elsewhere?" Lin Yang asked.
"The output north of the Yellow River is an average of 600 catties. North of the Yangtze River, it is 800 catties. South of the Yangtze River, it is about 1,000 catties. Therefore, our yield of eleven stones per mu, that is, 1,100 catties, is not too exaggerated. Guo Jia explained.
Hearing this, Lin Yang nodded and shook his head. From this point of view, the yield of eleven stones per mu is really nothing. After all, he is losing money and making money.
"This, generally speaking, shouldn't the output north of the Yellow River be four hundred catties? North of the Yangtze River, it should be 600 catties? As for the south of the Yangtze River, isn't it 800 catties? Why did the collective gain of 200 catties this year? ”
"After having a special fertilizer and a selection of good seeds, eleven stones are nothing. As for the collective increase of 200 catties, speaking of which, the main credit still depends on Yuan Benchu's "Encyclopedia of Agriculture". Guo Jia explained.
"The Encyclopedia of Agriculture? Yuan Benchu's book? Hmm, let me think about it. The above is indeed quite detailed, including planting, seed selection, and seedling raising...... It also includes many precautions for watering, especially the production of soil fertilizer, so it is not impossible. Lin Yang said lightly.
Speaking of which, this book is still something that Yuan Shao relied on to make a marquis. Now, with an autumn harvest, Yuan Shao's fame should be completely spread all over the country. All of a sudden, I don't know how many people of the Han Dynasty should be grateful to him.
All of a sudden, the sense of joy and accomplishment in my heart disappeared without a trace. Originally, Lin Yang felt that it had taken him a year to open up thousands of square kilometers of territory, feed millions of people, and make a bumper harvest, and he was already great. But what about comparing it with Yuan Shao?
"It's really amazing, now Yuan Benchu's name is estimated to have been famous all over the world, right? The title of this contemporary Shennong is also genuine. Food, clothing, housing and transportation, all at once the food problem was solved, which is really remarkable. Lin Yang said with emotion.
Although, what Lin Yang wanted to say was actually a good means, worthy of being the future leader of the alliance of princes, who can compare with this prestige? But on the bright side, you can't say that!
Not only can't you say that, but you have to praise Yuan Shao and say that he did a good job! After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, food is the most important.
Seeing this, although Lin Yang didn't say anything, even his expression didn't change much, and his tone only paused, but who is Guo Jia? Even Cao Cao, a big man who was extremely suspicious, regarded him as a confidant, could he understand Lin Yang's true thoughts at this time? No kidding!
Rolling his eyes, Guo Jia said with a smile: "That's true, speaking of the title of contemporary Shennong, the lord was the first to give him the title. Now it is spread all over the world, which also shows the vision of the lord. ”
Hearing this, Lin Yang couldn't help but shake his head, and then said, "Okay, let's talk about something else." What is our total population? What is the total number of acres? ”
"Our total population is about 1,23,600 people, and the error is within 100. The amount of land reclaimed is 5.48 million mu. The average yield per mu is 11 stones, that is, 1,100 catties. On average, each person has less than five acres of land, but they are busy. ”
Five acres of land for a common person is actually quite a lot (five acres per person, not five acres per household). This is not that Lin Yang, the Duke of Wu Guogong, has no conscience and is unwilling to divide more land for the people, but in the absence of modern machinery, a common man cannot cultivate much land.
In the absence of machinery, just relying on oxen to plow, a strong man can plant seven or eight acres of land at most. Moreover, among the millions of people of Wu State, there are many old and weak, as well as young children and women. Therefore, on average, each person planted more than four acres of land, which is really a lot!
And with modern machinery, an average person can cultivate hundreds of acres of land, which is really at least ten times the difference! Therefore, this also increased Lin Yang's desire for the industrial revolution. Only the industrial revolution can completely liberate the common people from the land.
(The author Jun is particularly incomprehensible, those protagonists who have traveled back to ancient times, and at once gave each of their subordinate families a hundred and eighty acres of land, how to plant?) Is this to exhaust them? It must be exhausting them! )
"Well, how much do we gain from this small court?" Lin Yang asked.
This question is very critical. It is directly related to the issue of this year's agricultural income and the issue of raising and training troops in the coming year.
"Of the 5.48 million mu of land, one million mu is the public land of our Wu State, and the remaining more than 4 million mu have already been distributed. The harvest in this million acres of land in the imperial court is naturally all ours. As for the people's private land, because of the relationship in the first year, in order to encourage the cultivation of wasteland, we do not collect taxes in the first year. So, the total harvest is 11 million stones. Guo Jia explained.
Eleven million stones, an ordinary person, is only four or five stones of food consumption a year. A soldier, even a state soldier, has enough food consumption of ten stones a year. In other words, this grain alone is enough for Lin Yang to recruit and recruit more than two million people!
"Well, with this food, we can recruit at least two million more people next year. Moreover, if you catch more fish and hunt more often, even three million is not impossible! Lin Yang said with a little excitement.
"Well, it's really impossible." Guo Jia said with some embarrassment.
