Chapter 900 begins to talk about agriculture

Resources, resources are different in every place.

Some places have mountains and rivers, some places have only one river, some places have a large population, some places have a lot of rain, and so on.

If you want to use these resources, you can't just say it, and you can't succeed just by saying it, you still need to try.

Qin An flipped through some information on Handan City and knew that Handan City has four distinct seasons and is suitable for growing wheat, corn, sorghum and other food crops.

So Qin An formulated a series of planting plans, with plenty of sunshine and moderate rainfall in summer, which is conducive to the growth of grain crops.

The cold and dry winter is conducive to the grain filling and quality improvement of wheat crops.

Moreover, the fertile land in Handan is conducive to the growth of grain crops and the increase of yield.

Therefore, Handan is suitable for growing wheat, corn, sorghum and other food crops.

There is also convenient transportation, because it is the capital of Zhao Kingdom, so the traffic is much better than other places.

Secondly, Handan City, it should not be said that the entire Zhao land has a special geographical location, close to the Xiongnu steppe in the north, and there are many mountains and forests, which are very suitable for raising cattle and sheep and planting fruit trees.

After Qin An recorded everything, he relaxed with peace of mind for two days.

The time soon reached the appointed time, and Qin An would go to the city wall again to give a speech.

In the inn, Zhang Liang came to Qin An and said, "Sir, this is an official document sent by the imperial court, please take a look."

Qin An looked at the fire paint on the briefcase and proved that it had not been opened, so he immediately took the official document and opened it to see.

The content of the official document is very simple, that is, to let Qin An act carefully, and at the same time arrange for him to have three hundred quasi-special forces to protect him, and thirty carriages of weapons and equipment have been sent, which is equivalent to sending all the inventory quotas.

Ying Zheng also told Qin An that along the way, he had the final say, he could do whatever he wanted, and whoever dared to oppose it would just kill him.

Since these remnants of the Six Kingdoms are not too grateful to themselves for sparing their lives, then they should be killed.

Regarding Ying Zheng's killing intent on official documents, Qin An was not surprised.

If the First Emperor still had concerns about killing, he would not have been able to unify the Six Kingdoms.

After Qin An finished the official document, he handed the official document to Zhang Liang and said, "Zifang, my father-in-law said that there are three hundred quasi-special forces to protect us, and they are estimated to be outside, you go and arrange it, so that they can familiarize themselves with the inn."

Then let them fix it and tell them we're going to stay for a while."

"No."

Subsequently, Zhang Liang went to arrange, and Qin An and Ganluo and others came to the city wall again.

Like last time, the city is already overcrowded...

Today we are talking about agriculture, but both workers and merchants are coming.

After the Zhao Gao incident, the people of Handan City already believed in Qin An's ability, especially after those workshops were built, the treatment of people was higher than that of other workshops and shops in Handan City.

This led to a shortage of manpower in many shops and workshops, and they had to increase their salary, otherwise the talents would be poached by Qin An.

After Qin An walked to the city wall, the people saluted Qin An one after another: "See the emperor."

Qin An stood on the city wall, held the microphone and said, "You don't need to be polite, please get up."

"Thank you, Emperor." Everyone stood up, and then looked at Qin An on the city wall excitedly.

Qin An continued to hold the microphone and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, what I am talking about today is about agriculture.

Many people will say, isn't agriculture just farming, what is there to say about that.

However, farming is only one part of agriculture, how to farm and how to increase the yield in the field?

There are also melons, fruits and vegetables, breeding chickens, ducks and geese, cattle, sheep and pigs and so on are included in agriculture.

I divide agriculture into several industries, the first of which is the well-known farming industry, which involves the production of food crops, cash crops, fodder crops, and so on.

grain

I don't need to go into it, but I mainly talk about cash crops and fodder crops.

Cash crops include cotton, tea, rapeseed and other agricultural products that can bring more benefits to everyone.

Forage crops are legumes, green manure, pitcher plants and other crops.

I have brought all these seeds, and if you need them, you can borrow them from the government and return them next year.

Then there is the second industry, forestry.

In the future, in order to make money, many countries will cut down and delog everywhere, resulting in serious damage to the natural environment.

By the time this was discovered, it was already serious. Eventually, countries began to plant trees to prevent the environment from getting worse. in the crowd

Huaxia did a very good job in this area, planting trees in the desert area, and finally creating a large forest.

You may say that it is the act of the Hereafter, but we need to pay attention to it now.

Forestry is also a high-income industry, especially for mahogany, rosewood and so on.

These woods are very durable and beautiful to make furniture, and they are very inexpensive in later generations.

Also, it is paper, one of the raw materials of paper is wood, some people use wood to make smokeless charcoal, etc., these require a lot of wood.

In forestry, there is also an ornamental tree, which is very popular with everyone, and many people will keep it at home for their viewing.

The third industry is animal husbandry, which is very powerful, and basically the cattle and sheep industry in the whole country is in the north.

There are many places where you can breed near Handan City.

Animal husbandry is not just about breeding, but also about turning the cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks it raises into products.

For example, cows and sheep produce milk and can be sold as fresh milk or milk powder. Chickens, ducks and geese lay eggs every day, and these eggs can be sold for money.

Not to mention beef and mutton, and chicken, duck and goose meat can also be sold for money.

Even a bone from a cow can be sold for money, and even a chicken feather or duck feather can be sold for money.

This is animal husbandry, and I'll explain it to you in more detail later.

Now let's talk about the fourth industry in agriculture, fishing.

You must be curious, isn't fishing just a fish swimming in the river, it can't be compared with agriculture, why do I still say it?"

The people under the city were amused by Qin An's words.

Qin An smiled and continued, "It's very simple, because fish farming is a type of farming, but unlike raising cattle and sheep, he needs water to raise fish.

There are two types of fisheries: freshwater aquaculture and marine aquaculture.

Freshwater aquaculture is not to breed in the river but to dig fish ponds, let the river water flow into the fish ponds, and then put in fish or aquatic products such as kings, yellow eels, crabs, etc.

Of course, there are also those that are farmed in the lake, which requires some tools such as fishing nets, which I will tell you about later.

Then the fifth industry, also known as the side business, is the small-scale processing and production of agricultural products, which is related to everyone's vital interests."
