Chapter 238: West Mountain View
Zhang Jian has long noticed that the people of Daqian are not only starving due to lack of land, but also because of the inefficient farming methods and breeding methods of various grain crops.
The same is the whole grain, that is, the year is good, the land is fertile, and the bumper yield is only more than three or four hundred catties.
If the home is a mountain field and dry land, the yield is even lower.
In addition, there is not enough land itself, and it is necessary to pay per capita tax, land tax, all kinds of forced labor, taxes, and the strong men in the family have to be extracted, how can they feed so many people.
It is inevitable that the people will suffer.
Zhang Jian is now limited by authority and cannot intervene in the current situation between the DPRK and China, but if he can improve the varieties of crops and increase their yields, he can also live countless people.
For him, this is not another source of luck.
……
Danong Temple is on the edge of the Shaofu Division, here is also glazed and blue tiles, the palace wall is tall, but the Ming Hall is slightly lower than other yamen, but all the officials are full of red faces, this is also a yamen with a lot of oil and water.
In fact, the Danong Temple is not only a literal agricultural and mulberry yamen, although the household department under the command of the Shaofu Division has separately divided the main authority of warehousing accumulation, supply of officials at all levels, etc., but the hand of the warehouse grain transfer, the local agricultural mulberry examination, tuntian, and camp field authority are enough to make this place a rich yamen.
Zhang Jian, the secretary of the Danong Temple, usually just hangs a title, and spends most of his time in the Academy of Culture and Sports to revise the "Daqian Quanshu".
At this time, after Zhang Jian stepped into the Ming Hall of Danong Temple, Cheng Qian of Danong Temple hurriedly brought people to pay respects.
"Da Nong Temple Temple Cheng Qian by the bank to meet Da Nong Ling!"
This Danongsi Si Cheng wore a cyan official uniform, which was slightly different from the official uniforms of other five-grade officials, with sleeves and embroidered corn made of several bundles of golden silk threads.
He looked to be in his forties, his face was slightly dark, but his eyes were shrewd.
Zhang Jian said with a smile on his face and waved his hand.
"The official is just walking around at will, Qian Sicheng doesn't have to care, you can go yourself!"
Hearing this, Qian Pan arched his hand slightly and said with a smile.
"If the Great Farmer Order has orders, you can summon the lower officials and others at any time!"
Qian Pan is always kind and humble.
He knows very well that Zhang Jian is different from other officials, this Shangguan with the title of Danong Siqing is very hard in terms of qualifications and connections in the DPRK and China, and even the national teacher is also a frequent visitor in the Shangguan's mansion, he has no confidence to wrestle with him at all, but what he is worried about is to find fault and take the opportunity to be kicked out of the oily position of Danong Temple.
He was worried, but he couldn't step forward to entangle himself, so he could only tell the people around him to have a little vision and not offend this big farmer.
Zhang Jian went straight to the warehouse on the side of Danong Temple.
The warehouse was filled with many 'high-yielding' crops sent by the yamen from all over the country.
There are many sunflowers, leeks, weeds, shallots and green onions.
Zhang Jian just glanced at it and shook his head suddenly, these vegetables are not only small in quantity, but also low-yield crops.
In addition to turnips and cabbage.
Cabbage is Chinese cabbage.
There are also a lot of seeds stored next to it.
The commissioner in charge of the warehouse stood aside at this time, respectful, but when he saw Zhang Jian's eyes inspecting, he suddenly had some doubts.
The side noticed his expression, and said in a deep voice, "That's all there is in the warehouse?" ”
Hearing this, this little official named Zhou Song hurriedly said.
"Returning to the Great Agricultural Order, these are just fruits and vegetables sent over from Gyeonggi to be planted, and they were originally equipped for the officials in the temple to use as trial planting!"
After a slight pause, seeing Zhang Jian's gaze, he hurriedly said: "In the other warehouses, there are also some various fruit and vegetable seeds sent by various counties, but they are similar, I don't know what the big farmer Ling wants to find, the villain may be able to help!" ”
"The villain has been in charge of this warehouse for four or five years, and he knows all the seeds in the warehouse!"
Zhang Jian nodded, and then his eyes fluctuated, and he said.
"I heard that there are still a lot of xenomorphs enshrined in the small countries of Fanbang in the warehouse, but is there such a thing?"
Zhang Jian frowned at this time, he saw that most of the seeds in the warehouse did not have much improvement value, and changing them might be able to increase some scale, but many of them were either strict with the land, or could not be used as a staple food and could not be promoted on a large scale.
Zhou Song was a little apprehensive when he heard this, and he lowered his head and said.
"Back to the Great Agricultural Order, there are a batch, but in the past few years, there was a rat plague in the warehouse, and many seeds have been eaten by rats, and I hope that the Great Agricultural Order will forgive the sins!"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but kneel.
Zhang Jian's expression darkened, and he reprimanded: "Why are you so careless?!" ”
He was still thinking about whether he could find a way to open the situation from the seeds of these Fanbang tributes, but he didn't expect that it would end before it began.
"Please also ask the great farmer to forgive his sins!"
Zhou Song was frightened and hurriedly kowtowed, and the officials around the many warehouses next to him also hurriedly lowered their heads when they saw this.
Zhou Song banged his head, and blood gradually appeared on his forehead.
It took a few breaths before Zhang Jian stopped him.
Zhang Jian glanced at him and asked with a cold snort. "Tribute should be kept carefully, how can it be careless?"
Zhou Song hurriedly said: "It's a dereliction of duty!" ”
He was really a little worried, if this big peasant order intended to pursue it, he was afraid that not only would his official position be difficult to protect, but he might also go to prison.
Zhang Jian's expression slowed down at this time, and he just snorted coldly. "This official doesn't like the people under his command to neglect their duties, if you lose anything in the warehouse next time, you have to be careful of the black gauze hat on your head!"
Zhang Jian knocked Zhou Song once, which can be regarded as a warning to other officials.
He walked out of the warehouse, knowing in his heart that this kind of thing might still need to ask the Zhang Qi family, or some junior brothers in the sect to help, maybe he would have an eyebrow.
He is not an ordinary official in the end, and he is limited by his vision and cannot break the situation.
In the following period, Zhang Jian asked his family to pay attention to the past Fanbang merchants in the pickaxe capital, as well as all kinds of rare and strange crops on the market.
As the Yin God Venerable, if he wants to improve the fruiting rate of crops and give full play to their hidden advantages, he still has certain methods.
Soon after, sure enough, the family had something to gain.
On this day, a young Zhang family member walked in with a few special things, and Zhang Jian took a look at a few of them, which were nothing more than some relatively rare melons, fruits, and vegetable seeds.
One of the red fruits surprised Zhang Jian.
"Isn't this a wild tomato, such a small ......"
Zhang Jian looked at the thumb-sized tomato, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, he had read relevant types of articles in his previous life, the tomato itself is indeed only such a big one, it is through the research and experiment of generations of sages, and it has gradually completed the increase and increase the yield.
Just at a glance, Zhang Jian was interested, and this thing has a lot of potential.
If you can study it, it won't be bad.
"Where did this thing come from? There are seeds! ”
The young family member hurriedly said: "Lord, this thing was picked by the villain next to the West Mountain View, and a large piece of land was planted next to the West Mountain View!" ”
"West Mountain View?"
Zhang Jian pinched the small tomato in his hand, and there was some surprise in his eyes.
Xishan View is in the suburbs of the capital city, behind which are large royal gardens, and farther away are some imperial villages.
Xishan Temple was originally a royal Taoist temple, and it was also a place for the princesses of the Daqian royal family, and the concubines were monks.
After those concubines entered here, it was comparable to entering a cold palace to a certain extent.
