According to Zhu Lingjing, the crown prince also has further plans in this regard, and he and his faction plan to complete the redemption and distribution of land in the Ming provinces in an orderly manner for a period of nine years and a round of three years.

In the first round, more than 80 acres were redeemed, more than 50 acres were redeemed in the second round, and more than 30 acres were redeemed in the third round.

At the same time, the landlord is allowed to keep no more than 20 acres of leased land.

In this way, the reform time will be prolonged, and the financial pressure will be much smaller.

Zhou Changfeng felt that this plan was also very good, but now that the war was imminent, although Zhu Lingjing's idea was more radical, it was completely feasible.

In that case, wouldn't it be better to be faster?

In fact, Zhu Lingjing even thinks that she can bind the national bonds with the future war and send money? It is impossible to directly issue war bonds to the landlords who have been forcibly redeemed and drag them onto the chariot of the Ming Dynasty.

Not supported? Then the bonds in your hands will be waste paper.

"That's it, you can go yourself."

"Retire."

Because they found a favorite topic, the conversation between Zhou Changfeng and Zhu Lingjing was far more harmonious than the first meeting, and the breadth and depth were also more.

It can be said that it literally "enhanced the understanding of both sides".

There is no such thing as Zhou Changfeng in the future, and his task for a long time to go is to brush up his resume and be promoted before the end of next year.

"Brother, which of your troops?"

"The anti-chemical platoon of the Second Umbrella Regiment, you are marines?"

"Yes, the first regiment of the land war, two days ago I went to Yiling Prefecture to suppress the bandits, and I was transferred to help."

"Okay, I'll see where there's still a shortage of people, uh... You go to Xiaoshe Township and Changtang Village. ”

In order to eliminate snails in the countryside in the epidemic area with greater efficiency, the 2nd Parachute Regiment and the 17th Infantry Division stationed in Nanchang and Anqing were ordered to send their respective anti-chemical units to help.

So is this the power of the minister, or Zhu Lingjing's face?

The paratrooper unit is a combat unit under the direct command of the Ming Air Force, and its level is very high.

In recent years, with the rapid development of aviation technology, countries around the world have been increasingly in-depth in their research and exploration, and the armies of some countries have tried to form formed airborne troops.

In 7934, the year before last, the German Society organized a semi-public exercise in Hamburg, in which the Germans organized 15 Do-17 bombers and 28 Ju-52 transport planes, the former towing gliders and the latter directly airdropping, deploying two battalions of paratroopers at one time, much to the surprise of European countries.

So Tsarist Russia followed suit and formed its own paratrooper unit last year on the basis of an infantry brigade; And it has been expanded one after another, and to now there is one paratrooper division and two paratrooper brigades.

Da Ming's reaction was relatively small, and only now have two paratrooper regiments been formed to explore and test the use of this new branch of troops.

After walking several miles on the country road, Zhou Changfeng came to Changtang Village.

This is a large village, with more than 200 households and thousands of people.

The village is built by the water, and there is a small stream a few meters wide on the side of the stream, and there are a few weeping willows by the stream, and the tender green willow branches are hanging down to the stream.

The houses inside are all blue bricks and gray tiles, and the horse-head wall on the edge of the roof is very high, and the overall layout is simple, simple and elegant.

Because it is a large village, there are not only ancestral halls, archways, and wharves here, but also the 14th primary school of Dehua County is also built here, and everywhere contains the more solemn and simple style of Gan architecture.

In the stream, you can still see a group of ducks paddling in the water, standing on the ridge of the ridge of the perimeter wind looking around, can't help but sigh, "It's really a strange traffic, chickens and dogs smell each other." ”

If it weren't for the epidemic, life here would have been peaceful and peaceful, but with the resurgence of schistosomiasis, the villagers had to be cautious.

The education level of the officers and men of the Marine Corps is much higher than that of the Army, and even the soldiers are 60 percent of the middle school graduates, which means that their learning ability and comprehension ability are stronger.

Through the briefing before, more than 40 people from the anti-chemical platoon had already understood the precautions, and now they have begun to prepare for the incineration operation.

The chief and the chief of Changtang Village have organized the young people in the village to pile up the collected snails together, a total of six or seven piles, about knee-high.

Zhou Changfeng put on rubber gloves, squatted down and picked up one, about a centimeter long, pointed, long pagoda-shaped, gray, this is the intermediate host of schistosomiasis, the snail.

"Let's get started." He threw the snail back, then got up and walked away.

The soldiers also put on rubber gloves and split chemical suits, and the soldiers with flamethrowers on their backs adjusted the pressure of the gas tanks, and then tried to fire them into the wilderness.

Then, with a "whew", the raging flames poured on one of the piles of snails, and the boiling heat made the perimeter wind who stood several steps away couldn't help but squint.

The private burning methods are limited, and the temperature of straw, firewood, and straw is limited, and if they are used to burn snails, the killing rate is less than 70%.

In contrast, even if napalm is not yet applied to flamethrowers today, they can reach thousands of degrees.

In addition to incineration, according to the epidemic prevention guidebook, insecticides should also be placed in ponds, streams and other water where snails exist in epidemic areas, so as to eliminate snails to the greatest extent possible.

Of course, the inevitable price is that the fish and shrimp in the water will partially die.

The history of modern chemical pesticides is not long, as a late-developing industrial country, although the Ming has not reached the forefront of the field in the chemical industry so far, but the large-scale application and contribution of chemical pesticides is second to none.

Agriculture is the foundation of a country, and the Chinese have never diminished their attention to agricultural production for thousands of years, and as early as the eighth year of Zhichang, the imperial court issued a decree to reward those who have contributed to agricultural production.

If we do not consider mechanized operations, there are two technologies to improve agricultural production efficiency - chemical fertilizers and pesticides, one to increase production and the other to kill insects.

At that time, the Ming Dynasty had not yet mastered the "cutting-edge" ammonia synthesis process, so the road of chemical fertilizers was not working, but the officials of the Gezhi Academy found another way in thousands of experiments - chemical pesticides.

As early as 7925, the famous British physicist Faraday discovered an organic compound called hexachlorocyclohexane, but people did not pay attention to it.

When the Ming people searched for a usable pesticide in countless compounds, they happened to find that it had a fairly good insecticidal effect, because its chemical formula is CHCl, and there are six carbon, hydrogen, and chlorine atoms in the structure, so it was named Liuliuliu.

666 times by the imperial court attention, soon in the specific experiment after the success of large-scale mass production, because of its low production cost, simple process, so almost in the whole Ming Dynasty more than 200 prefectures have factory production.

As a result, Daming became the first country to mass-produce and apply chemical pesticides, after all, to feed the growing number of people with more than 600 million so far, agricultural production cannot be neglected.
