Chapter 185: The Ranger Returns

"Wen You is right."

"If the lord wants to govern the land, ensure the harvest."

"First, we can increase water conservancy, dig ditches, and drain salt, which is the original practice in Beihai."

"Second, we can use the method of Wen Youti to form silt fields with silt and improve the soil."

"It might work."

Jia Xu said.

None of them mentioned the method of planting rice and washing salt.

Probably the North China Plain, which is not suitable for rice cultivation.

Yang Zhao feels that these are still not stable enough, the two methods of ditching and draining salt and silting and pressing salt, the dependence on the river is a bit high, and it is also necessary to judge the rainy season, the wet season, etc., although these seasons, there are roughly fixed days, but the variables of nature are too large, and other methods are needed to assist in supplementing.

"I'll think of a plan for the soil, and you can help me improve it when the time comes."

Yang Zhao said again: "What Wen You said, I will adopt it, it's not yet the cultivation season, I can put it back for the time being, and prepare for the conscription first, it's troublesome for the two of you." ”

"The lord is polite!"

They said in unison.

Since Yang Zhao said so, they temporarily put aside the problem of Tuntian and were busy recruiting soldiers.

Yang Zhao asked them to go down to work, and then while considering conscription, they also had to go back to Wuji County to meet Zhen Yan, and prepare to come to Beihai to make salt and prepare grain and grass.

Relying on Zhen's grain and grass is only temporary.

The most important thing is that they are Beihai County, which is suitable for growing grain and getting a bumper harvest.

"I'll go to Wuji County in a few days, and write out the plan first." Yang Zhao thought again.

He found a pen and ink inkstone, slowly sharpened the ink, and then asked someone to send some blank bamboo slips, when he saw these bamboo slips, a necessary skill for a traverser appeared in his heart - papermaking.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was paper, but it did not support writing, as an excellent traverser, and in the future, he would rule his own territory, and papermaking must be improved, in addition to printing.

These are conducive to the spread of culture, breaking the monopoly of the family on culture and consolidating the rule.

"When I arrived in Wuji County, I studied papermaking again."

Yang Zhao digressed after thinking about it, and hurriedly brought his thoughts back to agriculture.

I remember that in the past geography class, when the teacher talked about saline-alkali land, he also talked about some ancient treatment methods, in addition to ditching and draining salt and silting and pressing salt, as well as deep ploughing and deep ploughing, pressing sand and covering grass, etc.

He could only write as much as he could based on the knowledge he still remembered, plus the experience of growing up in the countryside as a child and farming with his elders.

In addition to these methods, fertilization is also indispensable.

In ancient times, there were no chemical fertilizers, but organic fertilizers could still be made.

Human manure, animal manure such as horse manure and cow dung, and even plants such as bellflower can be made, fermented, and decomposed, and finally turned into fertilizer to improve soil fertility and increase crop yields.

This thing is called manure.

There's also composting.

It may be difficult to do this on an individual basis, but the government should take the lead and play a leading role, which should lead the peasants to implement it.

"The feces of people in the city are actually not used very well."

"At this time, there is no profession of collecting night incense."

"In some places, there is even open defecation."

Yang Zhao recalled the various experiences after the crossing, at that time, the gold juice was collected in Yecheng, or the government collected it uniformly, and the people in the city would gather, and they would not usually do this.

If you want to make fertilizer, these organic fertilizers can't be wasted.

"In fact, in the city, public toilets can be set up in some corners, and then special people can be arranged to manage and recycle."

"The profession of night fragrance should also appear."

"This part of the organic fertilizer is recycled by the government in a centralized manner, and after being made into fertilizer, it is sold to farmers cheaply."

Yang Zhao muttered in his heart again.

So he wrote the public toilet and night incense on the bamboo slips.

In later generations, Yang Zhao also often wrote plans, and now he has ideas, and it is relatively simple to write, and he unconsciously wrote more than ten bamboo slips and piled them on the desk.

Writing the plan almost, Yang Zhao read it again to make sure it was complete, and then thought that the farm tools should also be improved, what kind of Quyuan plow and other traversers must appear if they are equipped with artifacts.

So he found a few pieces of silk and simply drew the farm tools.

The focus is on the curved plow, because it is necessary to dig deep and plough, which is indispensable.

When this was done, it was already night.

Yang Zhao looked at the government office, most of the people had already left work, but Jia Xu and Li Ru also took some officials to work overtime, as if they were discussing the conscription plan and dealing with other backlogged government affairs.

He didn't bother them, but went back to the house first.

After Kong Rong left, the mansion in Yingling was transferred to Yang Zhao, but the huge mansion was empty, and there were no maids, family members, etc.

"I knew earlier, bring Diao Chan."

When Yang Zhao returned home, he was alone and a little bored.

He simply got something to eat and went back to sleep with his head covered.

The next morning.

As soon as Yang Zhao got up, he saw Fang Rui coming to look for him, saying that Yang Feng was back.

"He's really going to keep his promise and come back." Fang Rui was quite surprised by Yang Feng's arrival.

They all felt that those rangers were uncertain and must be gone.

How can he come back again, under the control of Yang Zhao.

Yang Zhao smiled: "Never underestimate the Ranger's promise, bring him in quickly." ”

Waited a while.

Yang Feng came and brought a man in his early twenties.

"I've seen the lord." He bowed.

Yang Zhao nodded slightly, and asked again: "Yang Bo left for a trip, and only found a knight who was willing to help me?" ”

Yang Feng said confidently: "Of course not, the others are still on the way, and they will arrive in a few days, this Brother Shi is the last one I visited, so I came back together." ”

Yang Zhao arched his hand and said, "May I ask this chivalrous man, how do you call it?" ”

"Shi'a, I've seen the lord."

The young man responded.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was the lord, and he didn't need Yang Zhao to win him over, so he showed his attitude, which was very direct.

But his name is Shia?

"Brother Shi is a disciple of Sword Saint Wang Yue?"

Yang Zhao connected the other party with his own cognition, that Shi A.

Shi A was surprised: "The lord knows my identity? Do you know Master? ”

Yang Zhao smiled and said, "Of course I've heard of Sword Saint Wang Yue, please sit down." ”

He invited them to sit down.

Seeing Yang Zhao so enthusiastic, Shi A felt valued and sat down cautiously.

"Where's the Juggernaut? I want to visit. ”

Yang Zhao had the idea of bringing Wang Yue in.

When Emperor Ling was still there, Wang Yue served as a general of Huben, but when Yang Zhao was in Luoyang, he had never heard of Wang Yue's name, so he should have resigned from his official position and traveled outside, which was a pity.

It is said that Wang Yue is still the emperor's teacher.

A fierce man like Wang Yue must have a certain ranger network in his hands, and if he can be wooed in, Yang Zhao can imagine that his intelligence organization will be even larger.
