Chapter 428: Increasing Production
"Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Prince's will, the small ones don't dare to disobey, this money is really too hot, even if they give it, the little ones don't dare to take it!"
Tie Niu is a little anxious, you are not afraid, I am afraid, the current and future bosses, who dares to offend, isn't that a long idle life?
Thinking about it, it was indeed a little embarrassing, so Zheng Xiong took a step back.
"So be it! This house is not unkind and can understand your difficulties. ”
"Your Majesty has no money there, the kind that can't be picked out no matter what, if you don't give money, forget it."
"The prince is there, but he is rich, this can be wanted, the prince is benevolent, don't worry about it, don't be afraid."
"This~~"
Tie Niu wants to cry without tears, Zheng Xiong is his direct boss, he has to listen to what he says, but he has to listen to the boss's words even more!
Who's bigger, it's clear at a glance.
If you don't live a long idle life, how can you die!
Seeing that Tie Niu didn't respond for a long time, Zheng Xiong asked again.
"What, still have questions?"
Gritted his teeth, Zheng Xiong is his own nobleman, he has to listen to his words!
"No problem."
Hearing the reply, Zheng Xiong smiled with satisfaction.
If the Iron Bull is really swaying, Zheng Xiong will have to think carefully about the weight of the Iron Bull in his heart.
Relaxing, Zheng Xiong inadvertently provoked another conversation.
"The stone cow you introduced is your brother!"
In an almost affirmative tone, Iron Bull smiled awkwardly.
"Yes."
The virtuous do not avoid relatives, so recommended with a small abacus of the iron bull, as long as he has the ability, Zheng Xiong does not care.
Just click on it.
"The selection of talents, the introduction of can, but also to have the ability, the ability still to be assessed, not only the assessment of the house, others will also be assessed, the two do not match, it must not be long-term, you have to understand!"
"Thank you Hou Ye for teaching, Shi Niu has been in the pharmacy with the little one a long time ago, and his ability is acceptable, please rest assured that Hou Ye."
With a brief tap, Zheng Xiong continued.
"Let him also come here to receive 200,000 yuan, and lead a stream from the Qinhuai River through the fields of Jiangning's own mansion."
Obviously, Shi Niu did not have the treatment of Tie Niu, and there was a difference between relatives and relatives, Zheng Xiong directly asked Tie Niu to speak.
Iron Bull patted his chest.
"Master Hou, please rest assured, the words will definitely be brought."
"Well, go ahead! Go early and come back early, this house is waiting for you here. ”
"Yes."
It's another busy day, Zheng Xiong looks like a loser, and the silver money that hasn't been covered up yet, nearly half of it will be scattered in a blink of an eye.
That's fine, at least my father and mother have a good night's sleep.
There has never been a moment, and it is a good thing that my family feels that there is less money.
Repair the pig house, divert water, add a road, trinity.
Pig farms have a promising future.
Including the expected canola oil, sesame oil can be harvested very well.
The conditions are so good, it really makes no sense if there is no harvest!
After arranging the things to be built, Zheng Xiong turned his head and planned the operation of pig raising.
said that he would let Doctor Xu take full authority to deal with it, and throw it to him, that is to say, it was just talking.
Zheng Xiong is reluctant to let this kind of talent be dragged down by the thing of a castration, so he wastes his research.
Professional people do professional things.
Steers naturally have more suitable candidates.
The establishment of the veterinary institute is also a good source of income, so it is natural for people to take over.
Here, Zhang Peng got an inexplicable order, asking him to select a few suitable doctors and send them to the veterinary office.
As the chief surgeon, Zhang Peng's selection was also very appropriate, and he quickly arranged for Zheng Xiong to be in place and sent to the veterinary office.
With new members joining, Dr. Xu was very happy.
But when the people really arrived, there was some silence.
I have been doing the work of curing diseases and saving people all my life, and I finally have some status.
Nowadays, this veterinarian is called to treat livestock.
Treat pigs and dogs!
Shaking his head in distraction, to dispel the sorrow, Doctor Xu continued to devote himself to the research of pig vaccines.
Under Zheng Xiong's orders, the new doctor was preparing for the upcoming fertility tide, and Zheng Xiong also got some piglets from time to time to accumulate experience for these people.
While busy with his own breeding, Zheng Xiong was not idle.
Another matter of great importance is imminent, and there is not much time left for delay.
That is the matter of increasing food production.
Hybrid rice is only based on this short period of time, and even if there are some experiences from later generations, it is still unrealistic to want to produce results in a period of time.
In addition, the sea road is impassable, and high-yield crops cannot be found.
Now the only way is to work on the fertilizer body.
As the saying goes, a crop depends on fertilizer.
In addition to infrastructure, such as the South-to-North Water Diversion Project and the diversion of the Yangtze River to the Huai River, fertilizer is an extremely important factor in the large-scale harvest in modern times.
The nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers that are read separately, as well as the well-known Stanley compound fertilizers, are all deeply planted in Zheng Xiong's brain and cannot be forgotten.
There are also a lot of things made by the soil method, and some homemade organic fertilizers are also a lot, and those who often raise some flowers and plants know that the effect of homemade fertilizers is not bad.
Combing through the memories of later generations, Zheng Xiong looked at the current experience again.
The Song Dynasty was the pinnacle of China's ancient economy, and what many people don't know is that food was an indispensable part of the pinnacle of the economy.
Because of the tremendous increase in food, others can turn their energies to other money-making businesses, and they can exchange the money for food.
The growth rate of grain in the Song Dynasty was also incredible.
The first is the introduction of Champong rice, which I believe everyone has learned when they are studying.
During the Song Dynasty, farmers in the south cultivated many excellent rice varieties and introduced foreign excellent varieties.
The most famous of the imported rice varieties are Champa (Vietnam) and Yellow Grain (Goryeo).
Of course, the influence of Champa rice (also known as early grass or Zhanhe belongs to early indica rice) is undoubtedly the greatest.
It is native to south-central Vietnam and was introduced to China's Fujian region at the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Champa rice has many advantages, and is known for its drought-tolerant, short growth period, and strong adaptability.
There is such a true story about Zhancheng rice: in the fourth year of Song Zhenzong's Dazhong Xiangfu (1012), there was a great drought in Jianghuai and Zhejiang, and there was no grain to produce in the paddy fields, so Song Zhenzong sent an envoy to Fujian to take 30,000 rice seeds from Zhancheng (the old measuring device unit capacity was 10 buckets) and distribute them to the Jianghuai and Zhejiang regions for sowing.
Soon, Zhancheng rice was also planted in Henan and Hebei, and during the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhancheng rice became the main variety of early indica rice all over the place, and also became the main food for the majority of farmers to eat all year round.
In the Song Dynasty, agricultural production technology also underwent changes, with the emergence of a special hoe for weeding, an iron rake for crushing and thinning soil, and an iron ploughshare installed on a cocoon car...... This greatly improves labor productivity.
In addition, in terms of water conservancy and irrigation, tools such as keel overturning mainly appeared.
It can be seen that the agricultural technology of the Song Dynasty was greatly improved compared with that of the Sui and Tang dynasties.
The system of land acres in the Song Dynasty was also very advanced.
In the Song Dynasty, the change from the private ownership of the gate valve and the state distribution of land to the free sale and contractualization of land led to the disappearance of the family gate valve, so that the "manor system" that had prevailed since the Wei and Jin dynasties was replaced by the landlord system and small farmer farming, and the tenant farmers became more free from then on.
In this way, the Song Dynasty was not only the pinnacle of ancient economy, but also the pinnacle of agriculture.
Of course, before that, we have to go to those high-yield crops that came from outside the Ming and Qing dynasties.
