However, both Fu Zonglong and Xuan Mo obviously underestimated the ability of the thieves.

The armies of Gao Yingxiang and Luo Rucai, who were hiding from Lu Xiangsheng's encirclement and suppression in the Dabie Mountains, were divided again at this time.

The southernmost part of Dabie Mountain, separated by a river of the Yangtze River is the Mufu Mountain at the junction of Jiangxi, Hunan and Hubei, the distance between the two mountains is only more than 100 miles, because it has long been believed that there is a Yangtze River moat to block, the south of the Yangtze River has long been at ease for many years, there are few guards there, and there is no battalion.

After Gao Yingxiang's Li Zicheng, Zhang Tianlin, Gao Jie, and Zhang Xianzhong walked out of Dabie Mountain from the west, they suddenly came to Qizhou, where the army was empty, and then raided the Qizhou Naval Division, and captured a large number of ships, and then the four swaggered across the Yangtze River from there!

After crossing the Yangtze River, you will enter the Makufu Mountain!

This matter is too big a blow to the Ming court, it is bigger than the small strong brigade occupying the entire Nanyang Mansion, Jiangnan, is the land of Longxing in the Ming Dynasty, and has always been considered to be as stable as Mount Tai's rear, and now it has been broken through by thieves!

As a result, Zhu Xieyuan's army, which had originally gathered in Kuizhou Mansion and was preparing to besiege the Xiaoqiang Brigade through Yunyang Mansion, had to take a boat down the river first, preparing to intercept this group of thieves in Huguang and Jiangxi.

Of course, these four departments broke into Jiangnan obviously because the Dabie Mountains really couldn't support so many people and horses, and after Li Zicheng and the others left, Gao Yingxiang took the rest into Hubei and prepared to enter Sichuan from there.

And Luo Rucai, known as "Today's Cao Cao", led the rest of the men and horses to rely on the Dabie Mountains to maneuver with Lu Xiangsheng.

However, due to Lu Xiangsheng's release of Li Zicheng and the other four divisions, he was obviously reprimanded by the imperial court, and his army could only be divided into two, with the Tianxiong Army and the Guanning Army continuing to encircle and suppress Luo Rucai in Dabie Mountain, while Chen Hongfan and Huang Degong crossed the Yangtze River to pursue Li Zicheng and others.

As for the Zijin Liang and Bumud armies in the middle, because Liu Liangzuo, the general of Runing Mansion, was defeated at the hands of Long Thirteen, it was now the time when the army was overstretched, so he pretended to confront Fu Zonglong's army in Kaifeng Mansion for a while, and then suddenly went south.

After the army entered Runing Mansion, one was led by Bu Tan Ni to advance along the northern foot of Tongbai Mountain towards the mountains of western Henan, and the other was led by Zijin Liang to advance west along the southern foot of Tongbai Mountain.

Coupled with the containment of Gao Yingxiang on Hubei Middle Road, the two roads entered the junction of Huguang and Henan as if they were in a no-man's land.

As a result, although there were heavy troops around him, Long Thirteen of Nanyang Mansion felt a rare leisure.

The time soon came to April of the sixth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty (1633), and the spring ploughing began!

Dragon Thirteen is also involved.

He got 20 acres of land for himself near Nanyang Fucheng, of which there were some in the upper field, the middle field, and the lower field.

At this time, in the whole Henan Province, winter and spring crops are generally cultivated, and there is only one kind in winter, that is, wheat.

Wheat can not be harvested until the summer, and it is also the main variety of summer grain in the Ming Dynasty, while in the spring, it is rice, millet (millet), soybean (soybean), and vegetables.

Long 13 randomly obtained the 20 acres of land as a young and strong family in the old camp, and because Long Xiaoshi, the commander of the Investigation Department, and Guo Zhaolin, the commander of the artillery, had not yet started a family, they teamed up with Long 13 to prepare to cultivate the 20 acres of land.

In doing so, in addition to expressing the importance of farming by personally going to the field as the commander of the army, Long 13 also had the idea of finding out some characteristics of cultivation at this time on the ground.

The later generation of Long Thirteen was born as a farmer, and he would also help his parents farm when he was busy farming, and when he came to the field and worked with Long Xiaoshi and Guo Zhaolin for ten days, he understood.

Compared with later generations, the cultivation of Nanyang Mansion in the Ming Dynasty has hardly changed except for the absence of chemical fertilizers!

He planted rice on the field by the canal, for the cultivation of the paddy field, ploughing, raking, irrigation, seedling raising, and transplanting are completely the same as later generations, Long Thirteen is a southerner in later generations, and it is easy to do this, so that Shanxi people Long Xiaoshi and Guo Zhaolin were dumbfounded.

Beans are planted next to the rice fields.

In addition, he planted alfalfa fields, corn fields, vegetables and cotton.

His arrangement is the current Nanyang Mansion Farmer

The common practice of households, in later generations, Long Thirteen once read Song Yingxing's works, and almost described it like this.

No matter what kind of land is planted, without exception, the ground is ploughed with oxen or horses, and then the bushes near the field are cut down and piled up in the field and burned together with the mound, in fact, making the first fertilizer.

After the seeds are planted, they will pick up the farm's manure to water it, which is the second fertilizer.

After the seedlings emerge, the third farm manure is watered, and then the fertilizer is applied when it is heading and fruiting, and weeding and other operations are continuously applied in the middle.

Among them, corn is planted in the middle field, cotton and sesame are planted in the lower field, and the vegetable field is near the castle.

Compared with later generations, the seeds at this time are all selected and retained by the farmers themselves, although they have their own set of selection criteria, but due to the lack of scientific breeding knowledge of later generations, yield, disease and pest resistance, lodging resistance, etc. are naturally incomparable with later generations.

However, since he came to this world, although he did not have scientific knowledge of agriculture, Long Shisan still ordered Long Xiaoshi and Guo Zhaolin to write down those tall and strong plants at any time, so that they could be kept as grain seeds when harvested.

The big boss personally went to the ground, and only used Long Xiaoshi and Guo Zhaolin, which were completely implemented in accordance with a standard family (a standard family in the old camp of the Xiaoqiang Brigade was configured according to three laborers), and did not use the pro-guards.

This made others have to do the same, fortunately, most of Long Thirteen's subordinates are from farmers, although they have not held a hoe in the past few years, but it is still very easy to pick up, of course, these people are naturally not Long Thirteen, not all of them have the patience to complete the cultivation of twenty acres of land from beginning to end.

But that's enough, what Dragon Thirteen wants is an exemplary role.

Long Thirteen's behavior made the more than 100 old boys and old bookkeepers who followed him more confident.

In their hearts, "a person who values agriculture and mulberry will definitely not be a bad person, but also a person worthy of action", so they really started spring plowing as a family unit.

"Farming with the people"

The news soon spread throughout Nanyang Province.

This is very contagious among the local people.

Historically, there was no shortage of people who attached great importance to spring ploughing, but whether it was the emperor, ministers, or local officials, at most they had to pretend to hold up the ploughshare tied with red silk in the field, and no one had ever actually worked in the field.

In the west of the turbulent water, there are two old farmers of Xiaoqiangshi, and Long 13 divides them into counties, each household, going to the countryside, 1,000 households in each township, and 10 villages under its jurisdiction, 100 households in each village.

And all the people of a village live together, which is an expansion based on the previous village, and Long 13 did not give them the land.

He is implementing a new model on the land of Nanyang Province.

The old camp was nominally in the form of "tuntian", but in fact it was a collective labor in the mode of "collective farms" or agricultural workers in later generations, or according to the model of 20 mu per household, 2,000 mu per village, each household was paid a certain salary by the headquarters, and all the grain produced was handed over after removing the grain and rations of the village.

And more locals are still farming in the form of issuing new land deeds and paying land endowments.

On the bright side, what Long Thirteen said with the young Zhuang of the old camp was, "The soldiers are in chaos, and there is no guarantee whether they can stay here for a long time, so it is arranged like this."

As a result, the young men of the old camp had nothing to say, but when they really threw themselves into the work, they soon discovered the benefits of this model. qs

Twenty acres of land does not seem like much, but if there are no ploughing cattle and ploughing horses, it will be an extremely difficult task to be completed by manpower alone, and even if there are ploughing oxen and ploughing horses, it will take about ten days to finally complete.

It is better at the time of farming, but if it is time to harvest, it will be an extremely hard work according to the conditions of relying entirely on manpower at this time.

However, if there are at least 100 households in a village that can use the strong labor of oxen or horses, and the village chief reasonably allocates them to the fields, one person and one ox can complete the cultivation of two acres of land a day, and 100 people are 200 acres, and 2,000 acres of land can be easily completed in ten days

Yes.

When sowing is officially sowing, one person drives the ploughing oxen in the front, the second laborer sows the seeds in the back, and the strong woman cooks at home, which is also very efficient.

When planting seedlings, the benefits of a large number of people become even more apparent.

And when it comes to the harvest season, the benefits of being more crowded are even more obvious.

Of course, when there are many people, there must be some people who are diligent and some people who are lazy, which is also a common thing in later generations, which requires a suitable assessment mechanism to cooperate.

At present, the small strong division belongs to the rebellious team, surrounded by strong enemies, and the young men of the old camp are definitely not lazy, but if it comes to the Chengping period, it may not be.

However, Dragon Thirteen still insisted on implementing this model.

Because he knew that in ancient China, every dynasty, at the time of the founding of the country, was able to achieve that everyone had land and surplus grain in the middle period, and in the middle period it was barely enough to eat, and in the last years, there would inevitably be large-scale land annexation, and most of the peasant households would become tenants.

At that time, it is not barely enough to eat, if you are not careful, you will starve to death, if you encounter natural and man-made disasters, it is a precursor to civil change.

This cycle has never been broken since ancient times.

Dragon Thirteen didn't want to step into this cycle anymore, and although it was only a simulator world, he still wanted to try something new.

However, even if there is this idea, it is not easy to implement it for a long time, and the military system of the Tang Dynasty and the military household system of the Ming Dynasty were not the same at the beginning? At that time, there was still official property, similar to the state-owned farms in later generations, but in the end, even the official property was occupied.

Therefore, a simple "collective farm" system will not be enough, and there must be a more appropriate way to cooperate with it.

But right now, obviously, is not the time to think about that.
