The Red House starts from Liaodong

The Jiedu Mansion in Jinjiang Town is in charge of both the military and the civilian government, and the military and government's current intensive actions have involved most of Tang Qing'an's energy.

But civil affairs cannot be let go.

"Prepare for a rainy day in a war, don't think about victory, think about defeat first, so you can fight a hundred battles without imperil."

I took time to meet with Feng Shengzhi, Gu Yingshi, and Tang Qing'an to explain carefully about the farming and planting at the beginning of this year.

With the development of civil affairs, Tang Qing'an is not afraid of setbacks in this year's war.

The army fights steadily, even if it fails to win, it will not be defeated.

And behind him is the support of millions of Liao people, which is different from the Northeast Marshal who entered the customs in history.

The last defeat in the war meant that everything was in vain, and the morale of the army was low, causing him to retreat to the northeast in despair.

For attacking barbarians.

The hearts of the people in Jinjiang Town are strong.

Even if you lose this year, you will fight again next year, and if you lose next year, you will fight again the year after.

He has the confidence and barbarians to consume.

It would be interesting to see if the barbarian had the vitality to compete with him for such a consumption.

Compared with consumption, it depends on civil affairs.

Only by doing a good job in civil affairs can we have the strength to compete with our potential.

Otherwise, Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Town will end up in history. There are empty Liao people but no food, unable to exert their strength, and can only be trapped in a situation of food shortage.

At present, Jinjiang Town's territory is not large, but after years of hard work to feed millions of Liao people, this prototype has already taken shape.

But if this year's war is not going well, he looks at the situation of the court, next year it is impossible to be like this year, and there are so many savings to support him.

Then the further Jinjiang Town goes, the more it needs to rely on itself.

of course.

If one battle is won, with the newly recovered plains, the food shortage in Jinjiang Town will be alleviated immediately, and the landless people along the coast of Fujian will be gathered.

But this is the best ending, Tang Qing'an also has to consider the bad ending.

"Your suggestion to set up a new yamen to be responsible for farming, to collect good farming from across the country, and to study better farming methods is worthy of recognition."

Tang Qing'an praised.

Farming methods have been improving all the time. The output per mu in the Han Dynasty was a peak, and the output per mu in the Song Dynasty was also at a peak.

And in the former Ming Dynasty, the output per mu reached a peak again.

North Korea's current farming methods are very backward. In the original history, with the Dongjiang Town established by Mao Wenlong, a large number of Liao people poured into North Korea.

It brought advanced farming methods to North Korea, and let the officials all over North Korea learn how to build new water conservancy and how to transplant rice seedlings.

Water conservancy projects promoted the increase of acres, and the advanced rice transplanting method increased the output of fields. Therefore, the population of Korea began to increase sharply in the middle and late seventeenth century.

The pre-Ming dynasty was a kingdom of heaven, not only in terms of situation, but also in terms of culture and people's livelihood, crushing neighboring countries in all aspects.

The Great Zhou inherited the Great Ming, and there were no major changes.

The northern region is now multi-planted with wheat and millet, but in many southern regions, it used to be a single season of late rice.

Sow in early spring, harvest in late September and October.

The advantage is that the growth time is long, the field is fallow in winter, and the yield per unit area is high.

Gradually developed into Earn Grain Festival and Bailu Festival, the mid-season rice harvested became wheat crops, and the double-cropping system of late rice in paddy field rotation.

Rice and wheat are double-cropped, and the yield per mu is low, but the combined yield per mu is still higher than the yield per mu.

There are other places that vary. For example, although there are two seasons in some places, the crops before the late rice or the middle rice are not wheat but rapeseed, broad beans, peas, soybeans, mung beans and other crops.

In some places, middle rice is rotated with other crops, such as buckwheat, green manure, flax and so on.

In other places, the news is blocked, and it is still a season of late rice.

The output per mu varies from place to place, and the high ones are very high. For example, in the Huzhou area of ​​Jiaxing, the yield per mu is four to five stones, and the low ones are also very low.

Neither high yield nor real estate can be used as a representative.

In short, the domestic yield per mu in Dazhou was averaged.

In the south, the yield per mu in one season is two stones, seven buckets and two liters, and rice-bean rotation, or wheat-rice rotation, with two rice stones per field, one wheat stone or one bean stone.

In the northern region, summer wheat and autumn millet are more than two stones in total. If they are only planted for one season, they will be nearly two stones.

"Fanmi should be vigorously promoted."

With the current farming methods, the number of acres has reached the upper limit, and only new crops can increase the yield per mu.

Although Tang Qing'an has some knowledge of various materials, he doesn't distinguish between the five grains, so he can only explain to everyone based on what he knows.

Feng Shengzhi and Gu Yingshi still approved of the Fanmi introduced by the general.

"Using fan rice for crop rotation, compared with the original crop rotation method, the yield is increasing year by year, and it is indeed worthy of large-scale promotion."

Feng Shengzhi suggested.

"Before Liaodong is restored, Fanmi is still mainly based on islands. If we win a big victory this year, we will start to promote Fanmi in Jinzhou."

"The general's advice is sound words."

Gu Yingshi nodded.

Fanmi is a sharp weapon, and indeed it cannot be obtained by the enemy.

It has been trial-planted in various islands, and now the output is getting bigger and bigger, and the planting technology is becoming more and more mature, and it has become a common thing for local people.

Tang Qing'an never suspected Fanmi.

In the era before he traveled, many people did not read historical materials and research on this aspect, and only made rumors based on the remarks from the media.

Although he didn't understand it, researchers of later generations confirmed it. He believed in science, not civil science.

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, various crop rotation methods were adopted.

If corn or sweet potato is used to participate in multiple crop rotations, the yield per mu will increase by 20.00% to [-]% compared with other crops.

In the 17th year of Jiaqing, the output of corn and sweet potatoes was compared with the original crop output.

On average, there is an extra [-] catties of rations in addition to the original harvest.

Scholars of later generations have made detailed conclusions.

This extra ration of ninety catties per capita was the root cause of the population surge in the Qing Dynasty, which was more than 1 million more than in the previous Ming Dynasty.

Not because of any policy, but because of the increase in food.

Fanmi and corn were introduced in the Ming Dynasty.

Fanmi was introduced at the latest, and trial planting began in Fujian in the late Wanli period. Although corn was introduced early, it was imported from Southwest China and planted in places in Yunnan that were not suitable for farming.

Neither of these two things was introduced by the Qing Dynasty, but they enjoyed the shadow of the previous Ming Dynasty.

Even our ally, Mongolia, implements a reduction policy towards the other side. How can we be willing to increase the population of the Han nationality? Isn't it contradictory.

"There is something interesting about what the general said, why is there no movement?"

Feng Shengzhi asked eagerly.

In the past, the general said that there were a few new things that could bring great benefits, but Feng Shengzhi and others didn't take it seriously.

They knew very well that the general had been an apprentice in Xue's family since he was a child, and had never done farm work. To put it disrespectfully, he didn't know how to understand the affairs of the fields without distinguishing the five grains.

Originally, I thought that the general was an apprentice in a merchant cabinet since he was a child, and he had many contacts with people, so the general might just have listened to some rumors.

But after seeing the benefits of Fanmi, I realized that the general was not lying.

This is amazing.

The development of Dazhou Tianmu has fallen into a bottleneck.

If you want to increase food, you can only cultivate new fields.

However, it is not easy to reclaim new land, but if you have such a profit, you can still get it. It can be said that it is a blessing for the world and the people.

Hearing Feng Shengzhi's remarks, Tang Qing'an disagreed.

"No matter how good something is, it needs people to maintain it. If the system is not clear, the evils will become more and more serious, just like the domestic situation.

Even if there are these two things, it just provides some people with more extravagance, and the benefits will not fall on the common people. "

After emphasizing the role of people, Tang Qing'an sighed.

"The former Li Chengliang was in Jeju Island and asked the Spaniards who came to trade and occupied Luzon. The Spaniards denied having this thing."

"Really not?"

Feng Shengzhi asked suspiciously.

Tang Qing'an shook his head.

"There must be, but I don't want to give it."

Spain brought sweet potatoes from the Americas and planted them in the inner city of Luzon. In history, Chen Zhenlong risked his life and smuggled a few sweet potato vines back to China.

It is also recorded in later historical records.

But I don't know why, and when it started, all kinds of remarks began to come out, all from the self-media.

What kind of sweet potatoes, the yield of corn is not so high, the effect is not that great, what kind of sweet potatoes were not brought back from Luzon by Chen Zhenlong, etc.

Not to mention the former, it is clearly recorded in historical data that Chen Zhenlong brought back the sweet potato vines, and the rest of the ways are passed down from legend to legend.

And even if it was passed down according to legend, it was said that they did not affect each other and were introduced at the same time, which did not deny the fact that Chen Zhenlong brought back the sweet potato vine.

As for the former, if you ask, you don’t know where it came from, it’s just a mouth anyway.

Not to mention the various research reports of later generations of scholars, not to mention the records of historical materials, only the local annals of various places in the Qing Dynasty.

It clearly records how beneficial sweet potatoes are, how people cultivate them, and how they use sweet potatoes as food.

It is said that without chemical fertilizers it is impossible to produce high yields.

Did the Qing Dynasty have chemical fertilizers?
Anyway, it is going all out to deny these affairs, and all the credit should be attributed to the policies of the Qing emperor Shengming.

Tang Qing'an asked himself, looking at the policies of later generations of science, there is no way that food will not increase, and the same field can feed nearly twice the population.

Hearing what the general said, Feng Shengzhi frowned.

"I, Jin Jiang Town, will do everything possible to get such a good thing, no matter what."

If, as the general said, the production can be increased by nearly [-]%, even if it is only a [-]% increase, the national yield per mu is immeasurable.

It is worth Jin Jiangzhen's exhaustion.

"I'll find a way."

Tang Qing'an said.

Chen Zhenlong was a businessman, he was not successful in literature and military, and his business was not very big. Because of this incident, he was well known and respected by later generations.

In today's time and space, there is no such hero as Chen Zhenlong, so he can only figure out a way by himself.

At present, the only way to break the situation is the overseas Han people.

As for Spain, which forced Luzon, with Spain's current arrogance, unless it breaks the city built by Spain in Luzon.

Now that Jinjiang Town has not even solved the barbarians around it, how can it send a large army overseas.

Not to mention solving the Spanish warships first, how can they easily send a troop carrier, even if only one sinks, the loss will be heavy.

"I can't count on this thing now, so let's focus on farming in various places."

Tang Qing'an emphasized.

Feng Shengzhi and Gu Yingshi left under orders.

The general did not relax the cultivation of new fields because of the development of the situation.

On the contrary, because of the increase of the land and the sudden increase of the people, there are more requirements for the cultivation of new fields.

This year is the goal of 100 million acres of new fields.

The officials of Jinjiang Town, after only a comfortable year, are like spinning tops, busy again.

"Jinjiang Town's troops are closely mobilized. Combined with the information collected years ago, we can be sure that Jinjiang Town will definitely come to attack our country."

Shenyang.

Inside the hall.

Huangtaiji recruited Baylor, generals, and judges.

With a serious face.

Not only him, but everyone's expressions were uncertain.

"If he wants to fight, then he will fight."

Daishan, the most experienced, firmly replied to Huang Taiji.

About it.

He will definitely not hold back Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji frequently made moves to change the situation of the barbarians, which caused dissatisfaction among many people.

Many people gathered around Daishan, hoping that Daishan would stand up against Huang Taiji.

Daishan followed his father to fight in all directions since he was a child, and established a barbaric country.

Since he had given up fighting for the position of Khan, he would also not stand by and watch the barbarian country he helped to establish fall into defeat.

Seeing Daishan's attitude, Huang Taiji was relieved.

Look at ease.

Like an old slave's oral command, he proclaimed the Tao to everyone.

"Then, let's fight."
