Chapter 738: The Gap Between the Rich and the Poor
Spring is a good season for farming, and Fan Jingjing has no way to keep staring at the airship.
It will take some time for the airship to be completed, not to mention that her children will go into research, and it is estimated that many people will waste a little time to accompany her children to make games, you must know that such a young child wants to be very focused, and it is very difficult.
This time, the child was able to spend such a short time to complete many conditions of Fan Jingjing, and before the completion of the airship research, he could do a good job in the task of learning, which made Fan Jingjing feel that the child might be a little terrifying genius.
is not an ordinary genius, she was originally the child of Emperor Li Shimin in the future, but no matter how big a genius the child is, life has to be like that, and the child must be raised well, their bodies are still not as good as their mental development.
If they are geniuses, then they must have more brain power than others, and they have to eat more foods that can replenish their brains, so Fan Jingjing specially asked the people in the village to think more about foods that can replenish their brains.
Let the people of the Fan family manor make some food for the children to eat, in fact, the food of the Fan family manor, Fan Jingjing may not be able to understand.
After all, the traditional food of Datang is still the main dietary ingredient, and many of the dishes brought by Fan Jingjing use oil, but oil is a very high-priced thing, even if Fan Jingjing provides a lot of tools for pressing oil.
However, the value of these ingredients that can be used to squeeze oil in the Tang Dynasty is more than that of other dynasties.
You must know that all the food that can be eaten can only make people half full in this era.
People cultivating more land are not actually increasing their food, but enriching their food.
In this era, the production efficiency is low, and it is not that there is no problem of field cultivation, and there are many fields that cannot be developed.
More fields dispersed and more manpower only led to a slight increase in food production.
Therefore, Fan Jingjing is also very distressed, how to increase the grain of the entire Tang Dynasty, constantly add new cultivation tools, and constantly carry out water conservancy facilities.
But if you want to carry out large-scale water conservancy facilities, it is not enough to rely on Fan Jingjing alone, and large-scale work must be done by the imperial court.
At most, Fan Jingjing let the new villages she open up have these water conservancy facilities to use.
In most places, water conservancy facilities can only be built with the help of local landlords.
All green revolutions are an act of widening the gap between the rich and the poor.
In fact, Fan Jingjing also provided some suggestions to these landlords and old wealthy, and the water money can be collected by opening the water tank, and the increase in grain production should have very rich benefits for their landlords and old wealth.
The landlord Lao Cai seemed to understand very well that the grain cultivated in their fields was actually very sufficient for them.
But there is not always a place to sell the grain, you know, most of the grain ends up rotting in their warehouses, and the market often needs the grain only a few times.
Moreover, if they want to send grain for sale through long-distance transportation, they must also go through a lot of competition, and when the price of grain is not high enough, it is not cost-effective for them to sell it.
After all, the cost of transporting one day is completely different from transporting two days and transporting three days, although the grain is not easy to spoil, but the weight is heavy and the unit price is low, so the farmers who are willing to transport grain, unless they are close to the river, can use the boat to transport a large amount of grain, otherwise other places may not be able to enrich wealth.
It is impossible to transport it out, and there are very few people who come to collect grain, most of them are in nearby towns, and many residents in the towns actually have farming nearby, although they don't have enough to eat, they don't have money to buy food, and the real need to buy grain is those who are not engaged in land activities, they may open shops to do business or do other service work.
The matter of food, Fan Jingjing really treats it as a big thing, because the people in Fan Jingjing's Fan family manor eat a lot of food, not that they have to eat food, but everyone can eat openly and does not need to be saved.
But the people of the Fan family manor especially like to eat all kinds of food produced by the Fan family manor, although they eat a lot, but they also eat miscellaneous, so the amount of food they eat is quite normal.
Every year, there are still some leftovers to be sold outside, but if you take them out and sell them outside, it is a really high-priced product.
The agricultural products of Fan's Manor are fresh and delicious to outsiders, and if you learn from Fan's Manor's practices, you can even enhance the deliciousness.
It's just that for people in other places, it's okay to use cooking, but if you want to fry it in oil, many people are reluctant.
After all, there are still too few fried things in other places, and most people don't know the existence of rapeseed oil, only the existence of sesame oil.
Fan Jingjing has gone through a lot of publicity, and even drew picture books for others to see, but many people shook their heads when they saw the books.
Fan Jingjing can't even open it, and it is impossible for Fan Jingjing to make a free brochure, even if it is placed on the bookshelf, the number of people who are willing to buy it is still limited.
Most people are poor because they don't have any curiosity about new things in the outside world, and they just do what they do year after year.
In this way, they are not afraid that they will be lost, but they don't know that when others continue to improve, they are actually losing, if they can make more money, but do not study, basically, is not equivalent to losing money?
Fan Jingjing has brought change to the world, and there is no way for those who are resolutely unwilling to change.
Some people don't change, and after a few decades, they can get the price of not changing, maybe they make money or they lose money, if they can make it unchangeable, and become something with historical and cultural value, then they may be able to make money.
For agricultural products, Fan Jingjing feels that it is also a good thing not to change and maintain varieties, but for the way of agricultural production, it would be foolish not to change.
Because Fan Jingjing does not use chemical pesticides, but better fertilizes the land, so that the fertility of the land becomes more, and these land fertilization methods are basically natural and do not harm the land.
Fan Jingjing brought a lot of design drawings of farm tools, through which production can be made faster, and people will work more efficiently.
It can be said that if you use a full set of Fan Jingjing to bring Datang's tools, it is possible for people to have ten times more production efficiency, but these people are often unwilling to invest, and for them, once the investment fails, it will be a fatal blow to them.
Therefore, it is really a sin to say that people are poor, because they are poor, so they dare not take risks, because taking risks is taking their own lives as a bet, when anyone can live, people never want to die, unless they feel that life is no longer meaningful, only death can make people free.
