"Research on ridge tillage and the development of best standards."

Technical newspaper.

A paper on farming and planting methods, Zhu Gaochi was amazed, "The ancestors can be said to have reached the peak of empirical learning. ”

"What do you mean?"

Guo Cailian asked curiously.

Looking at the big-bellied daughter-in-law, Zhu Gaochi pulled her to sit down, the two husbands and wives were affectionate and loving, and they had never quarreled, and they were more like husbands and wives than folk couples, which made the people in the palace amazed.

Zhu Gaochi never cared about this.

He cares about the future of the nation and the country.

Everyone's thinking will change differently at different times.

When life was empty, Zhu Gaochi was thinking about when he would be able to stabilize, and he had a lot of unhappiness in his heart, and he was full of anxiety.

When his life was stable and his family was harmonious, Zhu Gaochi began to think spiritually.

The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds.

As a history lover, Zhu Gaochi liked to find the pleasure of waking up to the power of the world and lying on the knees of beautiful women from history, and developed to a higher spiritual pursuit, that is, love for the nation.

This is not unique to the Han Chinese.

For example, in later generations, a person who originally grew up in China and became famous, because he looked at the historical materials of his own race or his own nationality made up from the historical materials of the Han people, the result is reflective.

As the ancients said.

Forgetting the war will be dangerous.

Zhu Gaochi touched his stomach, he was only twenty-five years old, he was already slightly raised, and the genes in his body were too strong.

It is an inevitable fact that a person with a sense of family responsibility must have a hidden sense of national responsibility, but it may not have been discovered yet.

Just as the great technologies passed down from generation to generation by our ancestors are all ensuring the survival and continuation of the nation.

"There is no record of who invented the ridge cultivation method, and we cannot know the name of this sage, but the greatness of the ridge cultivation method cannot be overpraised."

The ridge cultivation method is the master of the Chinese ancestors' experience in agricultural technology.

Guo Cailian is not interested in national affairs, what she cares about is her small family, her husband is good to her, and her children are healthy and safe, which is already her happiest expectation, and she can't help but smile when she opens her eyes every day.

Women's physiology is different from men's, and their psychology is also very different.

Anger only brings the pressure of struggle to men, but it is easy to bring patients to women, looking at the happy Guo Cailian, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but smile.

A person who can't even bring happiness to his own family must not be able to bear the responsibility.

Later generations often joked that the status of a Chinese man was inferior to that of a dog.

But these people don't understand.

It is precisely because of the beautiful family around him that it is the source of strength to support the struggle of Chinese men, and the romance engraved in the bones of Chinese men is completely different from the so-called Western romance.

Equally.

The ridge cultivation method is a great achievement that is more brilliant than the four major inventions.

In later generations, the United States planted wheat, soybeans and corn in rows on the vast western plains, and the cultivation technology used was still the ridge cultivation method invented by the Chinese ancestors.

It is no exaggeration to say.

Ridge cultivation is the only way to ensure high agricultural yields outside of modern irrigation technology.

This technique was only learned in Europe in the seventeenth century.

Farming.

It's really not that simple.

Europe's agriculture lagged behind China for 2,000 years or even more.

In Europe before the eighteenth century, farmers sprinkled seeds directly and evenly on the cultivated land, and when the crops grew, they were disorganized, unevenly dense, and the different plants interfered with each other.

In this way, the ventilation is not good, the lighting is uneven, and the ripening time of the crops in the same field will be a few days apart, and some unripe crops have to be harvested together.

What's worse is that with this method of farming, it is almost impossible to water and weed.

It's like pouring a glass of water on a flat concrete floor, there must be more water in some places and less water in some places, and no one can make every corner of the concrete floor evenly spread a layer of water.

But if you carve a trench on the concrete floor, it is different, and the water will flow evenly along the trench to every corner, which is the principle of ridge cultivation.

But this requires the help of farm tools.

Advanced agricultural tools require a high degree of civilization to invent and create.

For example, a horse in ancient China pulled three times the weight of a horse in the same period in Europe, not because the Chinese horse was strong, but because the Chinese horse was well-equipped.

China's advanced harness is set on the horse's shoulder, while the European harness is fixed on the horse's neck, and this small difference leads to a huge difference in the efficiency of the use of livestock.

In the era of agriculture, livestock was the only production tool that could liberate manpower, and its utilization efficiency directly determined productivity.

and other advanced technologies, which created the reason why the population of ancient China exceeded that of the world.

"We women don't understand your men's affairs, but it's good that your husband is happy." Looking at the happy Zhu Gaochi, Guo Cailian said gently.

"yes."

Zhu Gaochi touched Guo Cailian's hands.

"There must always be someone who takes up the righteousness of the country and strives for the development of the nation."

Zhu Gaochi said with a smile.

The strength and glory of the Ming Dynasty, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and even the responsibility of the Chinese civilization must be avoided from falling into a dark period again and entering a great regression.

Since you don't have to worry about eating and drinking.

Always do something meaningful.

As it is said in a book, when you die, you should not regret it, and feel that you have not been in vain in your life.

Shaanxi and Henan.

Since ancient times, the Central Plains, the foundation of the development of the Han people, the most prosperous area, by the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, each of the two places had less than 2 million people left.

This is the so-called price for some people in later generations to take Liaojin as orthodoxy.

Ignorance must be terrible.

With the establishment of the Ming Dynasty for thirty-five years, the population began to recover, and the survival of the population required large-scale production.

on the land of the countryside.

A large number of technicians began to teach the place.

"On the ridges, there should be a certain distance between the ridges. The ridge land is slightly higher than the furrow between the ridges, and the height difference varies depending on the crop. "The technicians carefully set the standards.

The North is not only demographically decaying, but also various civilizations, including farming techniques.

Although a large number of people have migrated back from the south, each region and even each family has its own practices.

The technicians brought a uniform standard and showed the farmers why they needed to do it.

Although it does not improve the technology, it can raise the lower limit, so that many farmers who do the wrong thing can master the most effective planting methods and avoid unnecessary waste.

"First of all, this ensures that each crop grows independently, does not interfere with each other, and that you do not trample the crops when you weed the crops and walk in the ditch between the seedlings; Secondly, it is convenient for ventilation between crops and does not rot. ”

"What's more, it's easy to irrigate."

"When we went to the southern fields for experiments, there were a lot of paddy fields there, and the paddy fields were surrounded by one-foot-high ridges with ditches outside the ridges."

"When the weather is dry, the local farmers dig a small hole in the ridge, and the water in the ditch outside the ridge will flow into the field, quickly flow through the ditch between the ridges, and then penetrate into the roots of the crops, without watering each crop, saving a lot of labor."

"When it rains heavily that day, the water in the fields is kept in the relatively low-lying ditches on both sides of the crops, so that the roots of the crops do not get soaked. In this way, unless there is a major drought or flood, your agricultural harvest is guaranteed. ”

"What's more, the ridge and the furrow are interchangeable between the two seasons of planting, and after each season of crop harvest, the field should be re-cultivated, and then the ridge becomes a ditch, and the ditch becomes a ridge, so that although the field is planting crops every season, it is actually a rotational cultivation of each ridge of land, which can ensure soil fertility."

Hearing the introduction of the young technicians, the old farmer couldn't help but laugh.

Farming still needs these descendants to teach.

Isn't that what they're doing?

No matter what every farmer thinks in his heart, in the process of a large number of technicians going to the countryside, the cultivation of the Ming Dynasty has gradually leaned towards a unified standard direction, even if it only increases the output by one percent, it is an incredible number.

After Shanxi's coal restriction was lifted, major coal mining firms poured in.

Even the eunuchs in Jinzhou, the number of workers has reached as many as 500,000, laying railways in eastern Liaodong, building dense water conservancy and irrigation projects, and opening up countless fertile fields.

The towering trees they dug up in the wasteland were continuously transported to Jinzhou, and after the early process, they were sent to the dock to become the keel of the big ship, and the galleons and steamships were launched.

On the surface of the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea, there is an endless stream of sea vessels.

Follow the offshore sea route to Shandong Terminal and reach the final destination of Shanghai.

"Get out of the way."

Golden State Steam Engine Factory.

The newly built iron car has a huge round pot hanging from the front of the car, the lower half is burning coal, the upper half is boiling water, and a steam pipe at the head of the round pot is connected to the small piston cylinder at the rear.

The piston cylinder is placed above the front wheel, and through the transmission of power, the traditional parts of the up and down movement drive the front wheel to move, and three one-person high iron wheels rotate, and the wheels are made of wooden iron plates.

A technician laboriously pulls the iron rod and uses the lever principle to make the brake pads tightly adhere to the iron wheel and stop the car by friction.

The huge inertia made the iron car still hit the wall.

The technician gave up the brakes at the last moment, jumped off the iron car, and escaped.

The walls collapsed, crushing the cauldron and leaving a mess in its wake.

The surrounding staff rushed over.

"It's okay."

"It's fine."

The technician said in distress: "The steering parts are not good, and neither are the brake parts." ”

"It doesn't matter, let's try."

The Golden State Steam Engine Factory has deep pockets.

Under Zhu Gaochi's instructions, the local authorities took on a somewhat political mission, and the factory carried out countless explorations and attempts regardless of the gains and losses, although this time it still failed, but people have seen the dawn.

Soon.

The second steam engine wagon, invented by the Golden State Steam Engine Factory.

The steam engine wagon was twenty-one feet long and seven feet wide, with three wheels, and the wheels made of iron frames and wooden frames were combined, and the speed was as high as 38 miles per hour, and it could carry a load of 9,000 catties.

Zhu Gaochi personally named him and asked to be sent to the capital for a visit.
