Winter goes to spring, the four years of Guanghe have passed like this, the spring of the fifth year of Guanghe has arrived, and there are still two years left before the sixty-year year of Jiazi.

But Zhang Chong knew that if the time of the real Taiping Dao uprising in history was followed, there would be only one year left. Therefore, Zhang Chong's five-year plan for Guanghe is large-scale production, and he Zhang Chong wants to return to his profession and farm well. If you don't accumulate food now, and wait for the swords and soldiers to come together, then you have to exchange your life for food.

So as soon as spring began, Zhang Chong began to preside over the surrounding mountain gatherings and spring ploughing on the dock walls. On the other hand, Zhang Chong also took advantage of the relationship between Hu's mother's class and asked Hu's mother's family to buy millet for him, and Zhang Chong wanted to exchange all the gold, silver and copper coins in the treasury for millet reserves, and as for the cloth, he would continue to keep it, and he would make summer clothes for the army later.

Hu Muban has already gone back, and after sending 30,000 stone millet, Zhang Chong sent Hu Muban out of the mountain. But I don't know what this Hu Mu class thinks, when Zhang Chong wanted to find a way to go to Xuzhou to buy millet, the Hu Mu class actually volunteered to say that his Hu Mu family could do it for him.

In this way, Zhang Chong gave 300,000 yuan to Hu Muban, and asked him to go to Xuzhou in the south to buy millet, and then Hu Muban relied on his social circle of celebrities and celebrities to transport 3,000 stone millet for him at the price of 80 yuan per stone of millet. The first cooperation was very successful, Zhang Chong increased the cooperation this time, starting with three million dollars and 100 catties of gold, so that Hu Muban continued to buy Suliang rice and wheat on the market in Xuzhou, in short, which ones to buy.

Why has Hu's class changed so much? Cai Yong, who was in his house at the time, asked this, but how did Hu Muban say it?

"Although I am Hanchen and can't help thieves, but for the sake of the family's rise and fall, I still have to help this Chong."

Cai Yong choked and said secretly, you still understand politics in Hu's mother's class.

At the same time, because Zhang Chong gave money quickly, had enough goods, and the most important thing was that the profits in it were large enough, and many powerful people in Taishan County were co-opted by Hu Muban to raise surplus grain for Zhang Chong in the market.

If you want to say that those powerful people do not doubt the motive of buying grain, how can it be? But there is a good comparison, as long as you make enough profits and let them earn enough, that is, let them sell their own hemp rope, and they are willing to sell it.

In this way, Zhang Chong, as a buyer, and Taishan Haoqiang, as buyers, began to buy grain in several big markets in Yanzhou and Xuzhou, and even the Mijia family in the East China Sea also joined in and became Zhang Chong's big buyer.

Last winter, Zhang Chong consumed all the gold and silver money in the treasury in exchange for 400,000 stones of corn and wheat grains, which were Zhang Chong's biggest harvest this winter.

In the spring of the fifth year of Guanghe, Zhang Chong began to organize large-scale production. Mainly two areas. One is the valley between the mountains of Taishan and Lu, where the stream irrigates the land, and the land is fertile. Originally, there were also mountain liaos to cultivate here, but because they could not resist the raids of the bandits, they were abandoned one after another.

And now Zhang Chong has almost subdued and annihilated the group of thieves in Taishan and Lushan one after another, and his power has extended to Yimeng Mountain, establishing a preliminary order. At this moment, these mountain liaos began to reorganize these valleys under the leadership of Zhang Chong's subordinates.

Moreover, Zhang Chong also selected the powerful disciples who were originally in the surrounding walls to be good at farming, and entrusted them to send the agricultural officials to the surrounding valleys of Mount Tai to guide the mountain liao to cultivate.

Don't think that the squatters don't know how to farm, and if they don't understand, they will starve to death. But their skills in farming are indeed inferior to those of the powerful and powerful.

….

[In other words, it is the best way to read aloud and listen to books at present, @

Capacity.

Zhang Chong didn't plan to end it when the field was divided. Because it's too hard for a smallholder farmer to cultivate a large plot of land. The lack of cattle, ploughs, and manpower is also the reason why small farmers often don't get much after a year's hard work.

Therefore, Zhang Chong wanted to implement a mutual aid farm, led by their Shi Jiajun, to provide the farm with oxen, ploughs and other production tools, unify the land for each household, and then hand over 20% of the harvest as a tax every year. This may sound much higher than the 15th tax of the Han family, but in fact it is exempting the exploitation of the powerful in the middle, and in fact the peasants have to pay much less than in the past. Of course, the specific Zhang Chong will not know until it is executed.

Then there is the implementation of the three-garden system. This system of land rotation was probably introduced in Western Europe during the Middle Ages, and it was extremely helpful for agricultural production. Theoretically, he found a balance between fallow and continuous tillage.

Before the Qin and Han dynasties, because iron farming tools were not popular, the soil was shallow, and the upper thin land could only be used. In that case, agricultural production is basically fallow, that is, after two years of planting, the land must be abandoned for one year to raise the land.

Since the Qin and Han dynasties, iron farming tools have been popularized, and they can be turned deeper, at this time they are basically continuous planting, that is, they are continuously planted on a piece of land, such as Zhang Chong's grandfather learned the ridge method from Zhang Hong's family, in fact, it is a kind of continuous planting, although it seems to use two pieces of ridge soil and ditch to rotate, but in fact, the consumption of land fertility has been continuous.

Therefore, the ridge stacking method can only rotate crops such as grass and soybean that are not high-yielding, that is, as little as possible to not hurt the ground.

The three-nursery system divides the land into three areas, one for barley in spring, one for wheat in autumn, and one for fallow. Then in the next year, it will be rotated in order, so that the utilization rate of the land can reach two-thirds, and the land can be cultivated and cultivated.

Of course, all this has to be tested in Wenyang, and it can be determined.

Zhang Chong does not feel that he naturally grasps the truth because he is a descendant, and he feels that the agricultural technology he promotes is advanced. Agricultural innovation is no better than others, and he must take every step steadily.

If the farmers follow your instructions and work hard for a year, and then there is no harvest, the trust that Zhang Chong has built up will collapse in an instant, and more importantly, the farmers will have no food to eat for the year, which is really dangerous.

….

Therefore, even if Zhang Chong has successful experience in later generations, he will plant a test field in Wenyang, and let people go through this technology from scratch. After all, the gap between knowing and doing is too deep.

Today is the day when Zhang Chong and his group plan to determine the cultivation area in the Wenyang enclosure.

At this moment, Zhang Chong, who was also wearing calf nose pants, was taking Jin Bing and a group of old farmers to look at the situation of the land.

Jin Bing squatted on the ground and grabbed a handful of soil, then sniffed it and praised it:

"Canal, this land is not bad."

Zhang Chong bowed, this place must not be bad, you must know that this piece of Wenyang does not know how many Qilu people's corpses have infiltrated in history.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, Qilu fought for hegemony, and the two countries took this Mount Tai as the boundary, and every time the Qi country fought a war, it would come out of Wenyang. So the land can be said to be quite fertile.

But alas......

Jin Bing said regretfully:

"It's good, and it's neat. But it's too far away from Wenshui, and we can't grow wheat or rice, so we can only grow millet, and we need to eat water."

Jin Bing didn't know why Zhang Chong chose this field for farming, it was obviously not cost-effective.

But Zhang Chong had his own way, he wanted to dig a deep ditch here, and then bring Wenshui here, and grow more productive wheat on this land.

As for how to quote?

It's not like digging a canal, it's too labor-intensive. Instead, he wants to make a waterwheel to divert Wenshui.

The principle of the waterwheel is actually a man-powered water diversion device, which introduces water into the ditch by foot or hand crank for irrigation.

Zhang Chong and the craftsmen of the baggage camp have been making this all winter, and it has already been made there, and it is only necessary for Zhang Chong to determine the cultivation area and dig the ditch, and then he can start erecting the waterwheel.

Zhang Chong estimated that this land is still a little far from Wenshui, and if the manpower is not enough to tread water, it is estimated that it will be on the bull force.

In a battle with Dongping Lingbing last year, he captured hundreds of cattle, and in addition to the ones sent to various farms, there was still a batch left, which could be used as the power of the waterwheel.

After that, Zhang Chong began to divide the cultivation area with lime, which can roughly be divided into 200 hectares, and if the two harvests go well, it can probably produce 120,000 stone of grain, which should not be underestimated, and if it is planted in the traditional way, it may only be half of it.

But these are still Zhang Chong's predictions, and everything depends on the actual output of the land in the end. And if Zhang Chong can successfully verify this method, then he will not only train a group of Tian officials, but also establish a deeper prestige in Taishan.

For the vast number of Qiantou, the person who can double the output of the land is a saint.

And now our Zhang Shengren is wearing calf nose pants and digging a ditch with everyone. For the construction of ditches, Zhang Chong consulted many people who had dug ditches for Chaotian, and wanted to ask how this ditch network was generally built more scientifically.

But after asking a lot of questions, no one could say why, and they all said that if the officials had drawn a piece of land, they would dig it and exert their strength.

Helpless, Zhang Chong could only use the overall planning method he learned in his previous life to start dividing the ditch.

He divided the 200 hectares into forty cultivated areas, and then each cultivated area was given two oxen and the negative ploughed the five hectares.

In this world, ox ploughing technology has appeared, and it is quite developed, which is two oxen coupling ploughing, that is, two oxen to pull the heavy plough. But to be honest, this technology is only used in a small area, on the one hand, cattle are scarce, and on the other hand, this technology is in the hands of Haoqiang, and the broom is cherished.

This ox ploughing technique requires three people, one leading the ox and one holding the plough to adjust the depth of the plough, and one person supporting the plow. The furrows made by this heavy plough are deep and wide, and they can plow the deep roots of the weeds in the field so that they do not rob the wheat seeds of nutrients.

And such a heavy plough, led by two oxen, can plough these five hectares of land in one ploughing period, which is twenty times the speed of man.

Therefore, Zhang Chong has nothing to improve on cattle farming, and he is very mature.

However, there is one point, that is, the Han plow is long and straight, which has a disadvantage, that is, when the plow reaches the end and then change the ditch, the turning is not flexible enough, the soil is laborious, and the efficiency is not very high. Therefore, Zhang Chong also made a careful improvement, that is, to change the long straight one to a long curved one, which is the same principle as the tractor head of later generations, which is convenient and labor-saving.

Zhang Chong drew a network of ditches here, and then continued to dig with the group, and then ate corn and rice together on the ground. In the afternoon, he had to go to another place, where there was a big matter waiting for him.
