Zhili Hejian Fuxian County, Huai Town.

In April, spring flowers bloom.

In the fields, rape flowers are blooming, bees are buzzing, white butterflies are flying, and there is a thriving scene.

"Hugh!"

Lord Jia, the governor of Zhili, who was dressed as a simple old peasant, took advantage of the attaché's ignorance and swept away a piece with a stick, quite complacent, thinking that his skills had risen, and ordinary plants were no longer his opponents.

After a while, he threw the small stick in his hand into the rape flowers, picked up the hoe and put on a cool hat, stepped into the ground again, and seriously hoeed up the weeds in the field.

The labor scene can be described as very touching, but I saw that Master Jia looked up from time to time to wipe the sweat with a coarse cloth towel hanging around his neck, and squatted down from time to time to carefully look at the wheat that was already knee-high, with a solemn expression and a hint of relief.

Every move shows Lord Jia's love for farmland and respect for farmers.

This is the fourth day that Lord Jia has come to Huaizhen.

In order to set an example for the military and civilians in the province, Master Jia deliberately took Huaizhen as his squatting town, and worked with local farmers every day at sunrise and sunset.

And here he wrote the first poem in his life to persuade agriculture, the poem is called "Good Farming".

Poetry Cloud:

"Urging the cuckoo to sing the forest song, Chen Ji Xiang will do the field.

Jingjing scales came to the girl, and the child hugged him. ”

This poem was published in the "Daqing Daily" half a month ago, and the editor's note said: The whole poem is not deliberately lyrical, but only tells the scene of the farmhouse, bringing the reader into a festive spring scene, which can be called a good poem, a good poem.

It's just that the poem was obviously written yesterday, but it appeared in the daily newspaper half a month ago, mainly because of some fine-tuning made by Lord Jia in order to cooperate with the large-scale farming activities in Zhili Province.

One bad apple won’t spoil the whole bunch.

Since ancient times, all officials have attached great importance to agricultural production, and Lord Jia is no exception.

During his travels, he repeatedly emphasized that industry and agriculture should be grasped with both hands, and no matter which hand should not be soft. On the issue of agricultural development, he issued instructions many times, and even sternly said to the accompanying officials: "Whoever is engaged in agriculture will have his head in Manchuria!" ”

In an article to be published in June, the Daqing Daily mentioned that at the beginning of his tenure, Jia Daren found a rice plant that "stood out from the crowd" and ripened two months earlier than other rice.

For this reason, Lord Jia was very happy and ordered people to collect the seeds of this rice, and began to continue to try to increase the scale, so that it could be promoted throughout the province in the next year.

Since this rice was discovered and cultivated by Lord Jia, it is called Jia Rice.

"Jia rice" is planned to be planted in Baoding Mansion next year for large-scale trial planting of 50,000 acres, is expected to achieve a bumper harvest, 900 catties per mu, related celebrations Governor Yamen, Buzheng Yamen, Baozhong Mansion has been secretly preparing, just wait for the results of the trial to come out and start on the line.

The report, which was to be published two months later, was personally reviewed by Mr. Jia, and many changes were added to the article, which shows that Mr. Jia's attention to agriculture has gone crazy.

"Persuade each other carefully, and consult the afflicted from time to time, and those who do not interfere with agriculture in the slightest will be removed!"

The Daqing Daily mentioned in successive issues the importance that the new Governor attached to agricultural production, and reported that during his visit to Zhengding Mansion, the Governor implemented the "Nine Grades of Agricultural Officials" system on a pilot basis.

That is, all provinces, prefectures, and counties are ordered to elect a lifelong arable land, hard-working and simple farmer every year, and award the Jiupin Crown, in addition to concentrating on the Baoding Governor's Yamen for commendation, but also enjoy the due treatment and Yulu of the Jiupin Crown.

Jia Daren hoped that through this move, the remuneration of agricultural experts could be improved, and at the same time, the lifelong experience of these agricultural officials would be summed up in words, and then widely publicized to the peasants through the "Daqing Daily" and relevant units, so that the agricultural production in the counties of Zhili could reach a new level.

In addition to promulgating a series of relevant documents on heavy agriculture, persuading agriculture and benefiting farmers, Jia Daren also attaches special importance to the promotion of emerging crops.

Not long ago, Lu Yue, the envoy of Shandong, published the book "Sweet Potato Record", which summarized the experience of sweet potato planting and planting, and was discovered by the prefect of Baoding Fan Wei as soon as it was published, and then immediately submitted to the governor's yamen.

After seeing this book, Mr. Jia didn't even eat, so he read the whole book in the thatched house, and then couldn't wait to order all provinces in Zhili to print and copy it, and asked the relevant units such as the Zhili Buzheng Yamen, the Tianjin Governor Yamen, and the Rehe Metropolitan Yamen to organize special personnel to promote sweet potatoes and select suitable land for large-scale trial planting in various regions.

Appropriate subsidies can be given to landlords who try to plant land by the government and the government yamen in order to increase the peasants' enthusiasm for trying to plant land.

Jia Daren made it clear that the sweet potatoes that were promoted in various places were mainly fed as livestock, not as rations for residents.

This requirement was recently put forward by Lord Jia, and it is a supporting project to let the people of Zhili eat three meals of meat every month within three years.

The project was carried out by the householders of the Governor's Yamen.

To this end, a series of policies have been promulgated, involving many aspects of agriculture and animal husbandry.

When inspecting the Daimyo's Mansion, Lu of Qingfengzhi County had a meritorious role in promoting sweet potato planting, and Lord Jia specially recommended him to the imperial court as the general judge of the Daimyo's Mansion.

This matter is undoubtedly a weather vane, which makes the officials of the Zhili Department more energetic to promote sweet potatoes and develop the chicken, duck, pig and sheep sideline proposed by Lord Jia, so that the people's faces are red and the dishes are not distributed.

It was also during the inspection of the Daimyo's Mansion that Lord Jia found that there were many places where corn was grown.

This thing is commonly known as Baogu, which was introduced to China during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty and is suitable for planting in the mountains.

Corn can not only be used for residents' rations, but also for livestock feeding, can be planted on the side of the mixed field, does not occupy the main grain field, so Jia Daren encouraged the people to plant corn, and even asked the county officials in the province to plant corn on both sides of the road, saying that when it is not ripe, look at the scenery, and fill the stomach after ripening.

In order to implement the spirit of the Governor-General, the "Daqing Daily" even called corn, sweet potato, soybean, peanut, cotton, and mulberry the emerging "six grains", and called on the people of the province to promote planting.

During the period of squatting in Huai Town, Mr. Jia organized several on-site meetings with relevant units on agricultural production issues, mainly focusing on the repair of water conservancy facilities.

During the meeting, Mr. Jia proposed that the left second officials and the three classes and six houses in each county should spend one month a year to go to the villages to do the work.

First, to change the bureaucratic thinking of the past and let the people get in close contact;

The second is to help the people who lack labor at home to harvest and grab seeds.

In order to let the people below better implement their requirements, Jia Liu deliberately chose Widow Zhang's house in Huaizhen as his squatting unit.

So far, he has personally helped Widow Zhang remove the weeds on the land, repaired the yard for Widow Zhang, and even used his own money to dig a well for Zhang's family and build a thatched latrine, so that Widow Zhang and her children can say goodbye to the bad habit of being convenient in the open air.

"On the afternoon of hoeing day, sweat drops into the soil."

The sun was already high and the temperature had risen sharply, Jia Liu felt that he was already sweating, so he put down his hoe in time and said to the newspaper editors squatting on the edge of the field: "It's all written?" ”

"It's all written!"

More than a dozen newspaper editors who had been accompanying him, that is, the rumor-mongers recruited by the original pillars, including but not limited to writers such as storytellers, quickly stood up and handed their manuscripts to the Governor to read.
