Chapter 206: Smooth sailing
In the blink of an eye, it is early summer, and it is the harvest season of the year.
The imperial village presented by the prince of Chu has been particularly lively in recent times.
Thousands of acres of wheat fields were harvested, not only the tenants of Zhuangzi were particularly happy, they were all full of enthusiasm and were busy harvesting all day long, and through the dual-purpose flatbed truck, the bundles of wheat straw that had not been threshed were transported to the special site for the next step.
A middle-level and low-level noble family head who is not strong in the family, and he has been running the Huangzhuang recently, and he is not diligent, one is to observe and the other is to learn.
Jia Cong ignored these guys, and pulled his younger brothers, except for the two Xiucai who had officially entered the Shuntian Mansion with Lian Er, to Huangzhuang to work, which was called 'practice'.
Therefore, there are little brothers in the fields, and even Xue Pan has not been left behind, but there are a lot of small servants brought by his family to help.
With these students busy and supervising and participating in the front-line harvest from time to time, those little stewards did not dare to deceive their superiors and subordinates at all, and there were many fewer twists and turns and troubles.
While Jia Cong and the noble children who came to observe the grange were inspecting all parts of the grange, Jia Cong quickly summarized and sorted out the various data collected by the younger brothers to form a reasonable data report, and used the idea time of eating and resting to teach and teach.
With a modern mindset, he naturally knows the importance of statistics.
As long as you find a pattern, it is easy to see the distribution of Huangzhuang's production, as well as possible problems and so on.
More importantly, verify that the series of improvement suggestions he proposed before, whether there were problems in the specific implementation process, or the situation of water and soil adaptation?
In short, he wants to use detailed and reliable data, as well as various supplementary opinions, to form specific text specifications, and by making up for loopholes and enhancing advantages, he hopes to replicate this year's bumper harvest or even go further.
He didn't want to rely only on his 'whimsy' and the experience of the tenants who had cultivated for many years, as the field management model of Huangzhuang, which was too rough and inefficient, and it was inevitable that 'relying on the sky to eat' would inevitably be disadvantaged.
Although the younger brothers were not very familiar with everything in the fields, they did not hesitate to carry out Jia Cong's orders, and even did not hesitate to run on the ridges of the fields under the sun.
Jia Cong made it very clear that how much they learned here in Huangzhuang would be personally responsible for them in the future and passed on to the rest of the grange.
He stressed more than once that he should not underestimate the management of the grange, and if he really wants to manage it well, he needs to spend a lot of time and energy to learn and improve, including the reasonable allocation of personnel and materials, logistics and warehousing, as well as weather forecasting and so on.
Once the management of the grange can be organized and expanded to a township or even a county, it is not impossible to control it.
At the private study meeting, Jia Cong made the doorway clear inside.
In the future, they are likely to enter the officialdom, and they will not even lack the opportunity to manage a land, as long as they master the effective management model of large farms, at least they will not perform too badly in this agricultural era.
The imperial examination of the younger brothers has reached the step of lifting people at most, and it has basically reached the top.
It's not that you can't continue, but the resources of ethnography will not continue to be invested, and if you have the talent, you can join a certain academy to continue your studies.
It's not that I'm distressed about spending investment, but when it comes to Jinshi, although it is important to simply learn and improve, it is even more important to accumulate contacts.
What classmates and the same family and the like, are relatively reliable relationships after entering the imperial examination, at least the Jia clan can't learn it.
In fact, he does not advocate that the younger brothers enter the road of scholars, the Jia family itself is not a pure scholarly family, and the traces of honor are too strong, even if they are successfully admitted to the Jinshi and awarded officers, they will be excluded and suppressed intentionally or unintentionally.
On the contrary, it is better to only go to the step of lifting people, at least with the strength of the Jia family, it is not difficult to help people arrange eight or nine rank official positions such as the county government lord Bo Xiancheng.
As long as you make achievements, you don't have to worry about being picked, as long as you really have the ability to promote quickly, you won't be worse than the orthodox jinshi.
Of course, if there are more people trained by the Jia clan, and the title of Ning Rong's second mansion is gone, it can be transformed into a scholarly family, which is not necessary to mention later.
When he took the training class, he made it very clear that whether it was professional skills training in the school or the grange management experiment, it was a means to improve one's self-ability.
Learning well at this time is quite beneficial to their future development.
The drum doesn't need a hammer, he doesn't have the heart to be a nanny, whether the younger brothers are willing to take the initiative to learn and improve, that's their own business.
The opportunity was given, and he didn't care if he was willing to grasp it or not.
Fortunately, this group of younger brothers are still clear in their hearts, whether it is learning or investigating data, or actively participating in production supervision and management, they are more active, and their ability to improve is not slow.
Even Xue Pan's guy has no signs of falling behind, which is very rare.
After this guy studied from Huangzhuang for a few months, he excitedly told Jia Cong that all the shop managers of the Xue family, as well as the head of the Grange Village, wanted to fool him again, it was simply self-defeating.
In other words, although Jia Cong knows some development concepts of modern agriculture, he really doesn't understand the specific situation.
As for how to operate and match, we need to slowly accumulate experience through the practice of Huangzhuang, and form a set of effective grange management with relevant statistical data, as well as relatively scientific, but adapt to the current era of grange planting methods.
Fortunately, he remembered the main world, as well as all kinds of agricultural books in Daqing, in which many farming experiences and technologies can be taken to Huangzhuang for experimentation, and then put into the recycling system of resources.
After a year of exploration and experimentation, there have been successes and failures, in short, a preliminary method has been formed.
And the middle-level and low-level noble families who plan to cooperate with Jia Cong have seen a real harvest, not to mention that they have no doubts in their hearts, at least they have a lot of confidence.
In the harvest season, following Jia Cong's younger brother around the Huangzhuang for almost half a month, these representatives of the middle and low-level noble families have proposed specific cooperation, mainly inviting Jia Cong's younger brother to their grange to guide and manage.
This is what it should be, and he was also invited to send his younger brother to help these nobles adjust their land plans, but in view of the fact that Huangzhuang has not yet come up with tangible results, these adjustments are only superficial.
The situation is different now, and the facts are in front of you, and you can't believe it.
There is no need to weigh specifically, and there is no need to ask a professional account office to calculate the harvest, and the harvest of Huangzhuang this time is definitely a big improvement compared to previous years.
As long as you are not blind, you can see it.
Therefore, these representatives of the noble family who are interested in cooperation are much more sincere this time.
Jia Cong will naturally not be stingy, as long as the other party is capable, he will let his younger brother be stationed in their grange all year round.
What a valuable hands-on opportunity this is?
Even if these noble families who want to cooperate with the Grange on hand are not as large as the Huangzhuang, it is not easy to manage the Grange in place to help the Grange produce a bumper crop, improve the recycling of resources, and the harvest of other additional products, as well as the management of tenants.
Once the results can be made, it is not a problem to basically mix the nine products in the household department or the Ministry of Industry.
Not only did Huangzhuang have a bumper harvest, but the "Best Farm", which is gradually entering a better situation, is also becoming more and more popular in the harvest season.
In particular, when the semi-monthly magazine published by Huiyou Bookstore compares some of the management techniques used in Huangzhuang and the tips of abundant land production, it proves that some of the methods are practical and feasible in reality, and it is even more popular.
It can be seen from the fact that the sales data of physical books have risen all the way, and there are more and more people who take the initiative to inquire about the management office of Huangzhuang.
I heard that some powerful and large landowners in the capital have some people who have their minds.
Jia Cong didn't care about this, if he was willing to cooperate, he would take the initiative to come to the door, he didn't have the idea of Baba running to the door-to-door sales.
All he wants is influence, and the output of Huangzhuang is related to the most important food problem, and I believe that there will only be more and more landlords willing to cooperate.
At that time, the influence in the city will increase, and the influence of Huangzhuang may cover more than a dozen counties in the entire Shuntian Prefecture.
Once most of the land in Shuntianfu took the initiative, the tenants and landed people under their control and influence could not escape.
In an agrarian society, the number of farmers is the largest, how much popularity can be harvested at that time, and how much luck can be transformed through the Pagoda of Good Fortune?
I'm afraid that the bottom layer of the entire pagoda can be filled with golden luck!
Even now, Jia Cong feels that everything is smooth, and he can clearly feel the progress when he cultivates, and his dark strength is also rapidly advancing to the consummation level.
The expansion of the clan that I thought would be affected, as well as the addition of several miscellaneous subjects, which might cause dissatisfaction among the clansmen, did not happen at all.
All this made Jia Cong full of joy, obviously his own luck was deep enough to affect the surroundings.
It's just a pity that the world of the Red Mansion is just a place with some mysterious means of low martial arts, otherwise if it is a world where luck can be cashed out directly, Jia Cong is afraid that he will already become a top powerhouse.
It can only be said that luck can't be stopped.
I don't know if it was stimulated by the harvest in Huangzhuang, or if the family science has produced a lot of talents, the previous husband Jia Dairu finally admitted the fact that his teaching level was inferior, and sent his only grandson, Jia Rui, to the family school to study again.
This is nothing, anyway, there are hundreds of students in the clan, and there are not a few of them who are stubborn, and a guy with bad conduct like Duojiarui is nothing.
Jia Cong is now Mr. Clan, he can completely suppress the scene, and he is not worried that the stubborn students will not be disciplined, and Xue Pan is a kid who can completely solve the problem.
It's really not good, can't you still invite parents, this era is to pursue talents under the stick......
