Chapter 528: The World Should Be Like This, Isn't It? A dialogue spanning 1,900 years!
Ying Chengyun said in a deep voice: "This gentleman has fought abroad, and I deeply feel that the world is trapped by grain and grass. ”
"And my Daqin is especially serious!"
"Ben Jun has repeatedly gone on expeditions, and each time he has gone on expeditions several times longer than the original army, which has also caused my Great Qin grain and grass to become more and more overwhelmed!"
"It rained from the sky, but I Daqin didn't have much surplus food for disaster relief."
"It turned out that my Great Qin Qianshou could be displaced, freeze and starve to death just after a small disaster!"
Food cannot come out of thin air, but needs to be cultivated and harvested by manpower.
The main force of cultivation is also the main force of conquest.
As a result, although Ying Chengcheng won many battles and expanded his territory, the territory of Great Qin was doubled compared to the same period in the original history, but the situation of Great Qin was even more difficult than in the original history!
Because the victory of Yingcheng was forged at the cost of a large number of young and strong people leaving cultivation and fighting with them!
The former Ying Chengcheng also knew that food was very important, so he would spend time researching Chang'an plows.
"As long as I, Daqin, recuperate for a few years, I will be able to accumulate enough food for a hearty battle!"
Han Cang didn't comfort Ying Chengchan, but just looked at Ying Chengchan's eyes full of gratitude.
"The plough in Chang'an focuses on assisting in ploughing, which can provide more acres of land for the leaders of Guizhou when there is not enough ploughing cattle and strong men."
"The Chang'an plow can indeed increase grain production, but the grain that Chang'an plough alone can increase production is limited."
This is not the pursuit of Ying Chengcheng.
But Yingcheng, who has been a human in two lives, has never been hungry even once.
Ying Chengcheng still can't understand the longing for food and the meaning of food to those who have been struggling on the verge of starvation for many years, let alone what a stone of food means to them.
"However, there is a limit to the distance of a person's feet, and the number of acres of land that can be taken care of is also limited."
Ying Chengcheng does not pursue a war that does not need to worry about food and grass and can be killed without recklessness.
When Ying Cheng saw that the villagers in the pavilions such as Feeding, Bouldering and other pavilions would rather die and take away the grain storage and keep the fields, Ying Cheng Chan subconsciously surged with helplessness and anger that he hated!
But soon, this anger turned into sadness and self-blame.
Ying Chengcheng has no thirst for war and killing.
"A few years of savings can be used for my Great Qin War."
Rao is a Cheng Cheng Chan, and he also has a sad thick barrier with today's Qiantou.
Therefore, he can't empathize with the hardships of those who can't eat, and his understanding of food is only that it is very important, the foundation of life, can be used as money, can be used to reward others, will affect national security, and restricts the pace of Great Qin's conquest.
But all the people in the world no longer have to worry about hunger and hardship!
Ying Chengcheng sighed softly: "It's not enough!" Far from enough! ”
"When there is a natural disaster, it is the hardship of the people!"
It's just that in Ying Chengcheng's view, the world should become like that!
Without his intervention, the life of Guanzhong Diqianshou would still be difficult, but it would not be so difficult!
Qi Ai hurriedly handed over: "The gentleman's research and construction of Chang'an plough can greatly solve my Daqin's grain and grass difficulties." ”
Your Majesty, you can finally understand the suffering of your ministers!
"Benjun, it's sad to see!"
But Ying Chengcheng knows.
Xu Min listened to Ying Chengcheng's words, recalled the things he saw in the main house just now, and then thought about his duties, and asked thoughtfully: "Isn't Chang'an Jun thinking about the dung field?" ”
Qi Ai and Cao Mao were a little surprised, they didn't know how Xu Min could come to such a conclusion.
Noticing Qi Ai and Cao Mao's increasingly puzzled eyes, Xu Min explained: "Although the main house is dirty and filthy, it is not only filth. ”
"The officer noticed several wooden barrels near the door containing bean baskets, weeds, and pupal juice."
"These are all common things in the dung field."
"And this official is a native of Tian Ling, so he has no power."
"Chang'an Jun specially summoned his ministers to come, thinking that he was just for farming."
In the end, Xu Min squeezed out a flattering and begging smile at Ying Chengcheng.
Xu Min desperately hoped that his guess was correct.
Because he really doesn't want to be drawn into a tragic court fight!
Ying Chengcheng gave Xu Min a positive response: "It is worthy of being a native of Tian Ling!" ”
"Reclamation together, there is a Chang'an plow to solve many problems."
"But the Chang'an plow does not have much benefit for the yield per mu."
"Benjun really intends to study the manure field, in order to increase the yield per mu and boost my Daqin farming!"
Han Cang suddenly said: "It turns out that the king is not suffering from brain disease due to the endless foreign wars, but has a heart dung field!" ”
Ying Cheng looked at Han Cang faintly: "It's just cutting off the heads of hundreds of thousands of people." ”
"Han Shangqing thinks that Benjun's mind is so weak that he will be shaken by this?"
Han Cang hurriedly got up and arched his hand: "Minister, it's a big mistake!" ”
"Please forgive your sins!"
"It's just that the minister has something to understand." Han Cang asked suspiciously: "Does the dung field need gold juice?" ”
Ying Chengcheng said as a matter of course: "Naturally! ”
Ying Cheng's tone was natural, as if he was saying that people would die if they didn't eat.
Han Cang's brows furrowed deeply, and he looked at Xu Min and asked, "Is it really necessary?" ”
Before the spring ploughing of each year, the Son of Heaven and the kings of various countries need to lead the princes and important ministers to plough the home field several times, so as to show the king's attention and guidance to farming, since the king himself ploughs the home field, the world will begin large-scale cultivation.
Before the autumn harvest, the king would bring his princes and important ministers to the home field to harvest.
But the kings, princes, and important ministers are just ploughing a few back and forth, and who will manage this land next?
Jida Ling!
The small land seems to be ordinary, but it is the land cultivated by the king's own hands.
Even if the world's grain production is completely reduced, as long as the production of this land is not reduced, the king has a reason to reprimand his ministers.
Even if the world has abundant grain production, as long as the yield of this land is reduced, then ......
Just wait to see the heads fall to the ground!!
In order to keep the bond between him and the nine clans, Jitian Ling is not only responsible for registering and managing the world's acres of land, but also one of the people who know how to farm the most in the world!
Only the answer given by Xu Min will Han Cang believe it.
Xu Min shrunk and glanced at Ying Chengcheng, and smiled: "As far as the minister knows, today's dung fields are mostly burned with silkworm arrows (silkworm sand, that is, silkworm feces), pupal juice, bone juice, bean basket, river mud, weeds and grass and trees. ”
"In Qi, Han, and Chu, there were people who mixed livestock filth with water and poured it into the soil to help farmers."
"However, the crops born from the dung field are very easy for the seedlings to die in the field, and even if the seedlings do not die in the field, they are very susceptible to insect pests, and even if the grain can survive the pests, the grain obtained for a long time will also cause the belly to grow roundworms (roundworms)."
"Only when the yield of the land is reduced to the point that it is almost abandoned will someone do this to manure the field."
"That's why the minister never did this."
Xu Min said more and more carefully: "Chang'anjun attacked Chu Lianqi this time, I think he heard similar words, so he had such an idea?" ”
"In recent years, natural and man-made disasters have continued, and there will indeed be a lot more people who use livestock to filth water and dung fields."
Ying Chengyun looked at Xu Min with clear and puzzled eyes: "Benjun didn't hear similar words in Qi and Chu. ”
"But since it's a dung field, how can it have nothing to do with the golden juice?"
Xu Min: "Ah (O_O)??? ”
For Ying Cheng, dung is, is dung, and there is no difference between the two.
The easy and cheap farmhouse fertilizer is to use feces and urine, which is a simple truth that you don't need to go to the countryside to farm.
But for Xu Min and all the other people of the Qin Dynasty, this was not the case at all!
During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, dung refers to the discarding of the two-handed basket, which is simply to sweep and dispose of, and can also be extended to something that is not wanted.
Because people in the world often put unwanted herbaceous plants directly in the field for fertilization, by the Qin Dynasty, dung evolved into two meanings of filth and fertilization, and its font also evolved to be almost the same as the traditional character "糞".
It wasn't until the Han Dynasty began small-scale experiments with livestock manure mixed with water to fertilize fields that manure began to be accompanied by feces and urine, but during this period, the main force of fertilization was still all kinds of herbaceous plants.
It wasn't until more than 800 years later, in the Wei and Jin dynasties, that the people on this land really associated feces and urine with fertilization on a large scale, and dung began to be confused with feces and urine, but even so, most of the feces and urine used for fertilization came from livestock.
It was not until the Song Dynasty more than 1,300 years later that people finally overcame the technical difficulties of using human feces and urine to fertilize fields.
And the popularization of the use of human manure fertilization will not be until the middle of the Qing Dynasty more than 1,900 years later!
How did Ying Chengcheng know that the mere farm fertilizer had been iteratively developed for nearly 2,000 years?
Now that Ying Chengcheng and Xu Min are having a dialogue across more than 1,900 years of technological changes, it is strange that they are not confused!
Xu Min was stunned for several breaths before he asked in shock in confusion: "Why is the dung field related to gold juice?" ”
"Golden juice can indeed dive fields, but it also destroys fields!"
"If the golden juice enters the field, it will cause He Miao to die in the field!"
Ying Chengcheng said without hesitation: "This is because there are many impurities in the gold juice. ”
"When these impurities accumulate together, they will ferment, and the fermentation will heat up, and the heat will scald the seedlings."
"I'll collect the gold juice and pile it up first, so that it can be heated and then sprinkled into the field, and then we can solve the problem of burning the seedlings with the gold juice!"
Xu Min was slightly stunned.
Although he couldn't understand why Ying Chengcheng was so obsessed with stuffing people's feces and urine into the field.
But don't say it.
Don't really say it.
That sounds like a reasonable idea!
Xu Min could only bypass this question and continue to ask: "Even if the golden juice does not burn the seedlings, it will make the seedlings easy to insects." ”
"When it comes to farming, it does more harm than good!"
Ying Chengcheng replied while thinking about it: "The golden juice will indeed breed more insect eggs, and it is also the same reason that the crops grown in the fields where people eat the dung of the golden juice are easy to get Jiaojiao. ”
"But I thought that as long as the temperature during fermentation was high enough, it would burn insect eggs, grass seeds and other pests, and even make them fertile for the field."
"Of course, this is certainly not enough to eradicate the pest."
"And if the field is abundant, the insects will grow on their own."
"How to treat insects, you still need to think about it!"
