Chapter 328: Guanzhong Agriculture

Qin Feng jumped off his horse, walked down the field and came to a young farmer and asked, "Little brother, how is this year's harvest?" ”

When the young farmer saw that Qin Feng and the others were dressed gorgeously, they were not ordinary people, they were a little timid, and they saluted tremblingly: "Villain Yao San greets the nobleman!" ”

Qin Feng pulled him up and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I have no malice, I just came to see how the people's harvest was!" Can you tell me about it? ”

The young farmer said: "This year, there was not enough rain, and there were several big battles in a row, and during the big wars, when the crops were about to be weeded and fertilized, the small people were afraid to come out to work, and now the weeds in the fields are taller than the millet, so the harvest is worse than last year and the year before!" ”

Qin Feng asked, "How long has it been since the ditch near here has been dredged?" ”

The young farmer shook his head: "I haven't cultivated it since I can remember!" ”

"What about drinking water? How do you divert water for irrigation in case of drought? Qin Feng asked again.

The young farmer looked at Qin Feng boldly and said, "Water has never been diverted, rain in the sky is irrigation, and water can only be discharged, so how can it be introduced?" ”

Qin Feng couldn't help but be silent for a while, it seemed that there were still many farmers who did not have the common sense of diverting water for irrigation during drought, he turned his head to look at Deng Zhi and said: "It seems that the waterwheel should be introduced into Guanzhong, so that farmers can divert river water to irrigate their fields during drought, so that crops can grow normally with sufficient water!" ”

Because of Qin Feng's strong support and use of the Mo family, the craftsmen used their brains to invent various labor tools, and in the past two years, the prototype of the waterwheel that first appeared in the original Han Ling Emperor period in Nanyang was further improved, and the human-powered waterwheel was invented and first used in Nanyang.

In the first half of this year, the Mojia craftsmen invented the wind-powered waterwheel, which followed the design of the manpower waterwheel, but added the linkage device of the wind power, in the absence of wind power, it can be carried out by manpower to drain the water from low to high, and if there is wind, the wind can be used as power.

Guanzhong has been harmed by the warlords in recent years, its own agriculture is not developed in this period, the common people rely on the sky for food, coupled with man-made disasters, for a long time, there is barren land everywhere, and it is difficult to plough it, in the absence of livestock, the efficiency of plowing the land is extremely low, Qin Feng has seen it when he was in Nanyang, and it is still cultivated on cooked land, if it is cleared, it is simply fatal.

Qin Feng asked the farmer again: "If the government sends someone to pull an iron plough with cattle to plough the land for you, and the people only need to be responsible for ploughing the ploughman's two meals a day and hand over all the forage to the government, what do you think?" ”

The young farmer looked at Qin Feng in disbelief: "Impossible, the government would be so kind?" ”

Qin Feng asked again: "What if it's true?" ”

"It's really good, two meals a day is a lot, and the crops and forage are not worth much! If the government gives us farmland, the small people will save a lot of time! The young farmer laughed, but he also knew that it was absolutely possible.

Qin Feng said: "In this case, the government will only help the people for three years, and after three years, the people will need to use their own farm tools and livestock to plough the land!" ”

The young farmer's eyes widened: "What the noble man said is true?" ”

"Nature is true! In the future, the government will organize the people to dredge ditches, build water conservancy, and build waterwheels, so that the people can irrigate themselves freely during drought, and discharge the water in time when there is waterlogging, so that the people will no longer rely on the sky for food in the future, just rely on themselves! ”…

Hearing Qin Feng's words, the young farmer shouted: "Ah, which noble person is in power today, if this is the case, it will be the blessing of the people and the blessing of all the people in the world!" ”

Deng Zhi immediately said: "This is what the lord of Chang'an and Guanzhong today, General Shi Qin of Yongzhou, the general said, it is natural to implement it!" ”

"General Ende!" The young farmer hurriedly bowed down and kowtowed.

To the young farmer's surprise, this was fulfilled in a few days, as soon as his crops were harvested, he was driven to plough his fields with oxen and iron ploughs, and he only needed to support the ploughers with two meals and water a day, and sent the forage to the government.

After inspecting the harvesting of crops in the surrounding fields of Chang'an for several days, Qin Feng convened the generals in the army to discuss the matter.

"Generals, I plan to take a break from the roads in Guanzhong, fill in some potholes, clean up the number of shrubs and weeds on both sides of the road, and the battalions that are still conducting drills will temporarily stop the drills, bring dry food for ten days, and each battalion will be responsible for the rest and cleaning of the roads within the jurisdiction of each battalion, and the people will not be disturbed!"

"The weeds cleared are brought back to the camp to feed the horses and livestock, and the shrubs and trees that have been cut down can be brought back to the camp to keep, and if they are not used, they are sold to timber merchants or to paper mills!"

"If you have enough time, you can help the farmers on both sides of the road to harvest their crops and bring them back to their homes, without asking for money or benefits!"

"After this time, the department will send people to assess the completion of road cleaning and rest and farmers' crop harvesting within the jurisdiction of each battalion, and those who complete it first will be notified and rewarded, and those who are finally completed or not completed within the specified time limit will be reprimanded and punished by increasing the intensity of drills!"

Although the generals were puzzled by Qin Feng's sudden order for the army to repair the roads and help the people along the way harvest the crops, they still complied.

In the next ten days, there were lively labor scenes everywhere on the land of Guanzhong, and many people working in the fields saw that these soldiers were actually resting on the road and cutting down trees and weeds on both sides of the road.

To the surprise of the people, the sergeants sent for weeds and felled trees after resting the road

^0^ Remember for a second

At first, the farmers were frightened, thinking that the soldiers were going to take their crops, but they didn't expect that the soldiers were just helping to harvest, not taking them.

The people were relieved, but the actions of the sergeants made the people very puzzled, this is really the first time in the world!

As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers, and the crops that the family needed to harvest in many days were harvested in half a day, and the soldiers only brought dry food and water.

When the people saw that the sergeants had done so much help, they all brought the best food and water from their homes, but the sergeants resolutely refused, claiming that the general had ordered that they should not take anything from the people, otherwise they would be dealt with by military law. new

At the same time as the army and local officials, the crops in the fields of the people in the Guanzhong area were harvested as soon as possible, and the fields were also being ploughed. …

Deng Zhi also urgently dispatched relevant technical officials from Nanyang to Guanzhong to teach the people the method of intensive farming, this autumn and winter only to teach technology and experience, farmers also just took advantage of this time to carry out experiments, and wait until next year to officially adopt the method of intensive farming.

Experiments in Nanyang have proven that intensive farming and fertilization can indeed greatly increase grain yields.

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
