Chapter 172 Paratroopers; 666?

According to Zhu Lingjing, the crown prince also has further plans in this regard. He and his faction, who are obsessed with large-scale construction, plan to gradually complete the purchase and distribution of land in each province of Ming Dynasty in a period of nine years, with three-year rounds.

In the first round, more than [-] mu is redeemed first, in the second round, more than [-] mu is redeemed, and in the third round, more than [-] mu is redeemed.

At the same time, landlords are allowed to retain no more than [-] mu of leased land.

This prolongs the reform time, and the steady progress will bring much less financial pressure.

Zhou Changfeng thinks this plan is quite good, but now that the battle is imminent, although Zhu Lingjing's idea is more radical, it is completely feasible.

That being the case, wouldn't it be nice to be faster?
In fact, Zhu Lingjing even thinks that it is possible to bind the national bond with the future war, and issue money?Impossible, directly issue war bonds to the landlords who have been forcibly redeemed their land, and drag them onto Ming's chariot.

not support?Then the bonds in your hands will become waste paper.

"That's it, you go."

"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 greater.

It can be said that it literally "enhances mutual understanding".

There will be no business for Zhou Changfeng in the future. For a long time to come, his task is to brush up his resume and get promoted before the end of next year.

"Brother, which army do you belong to?"

"Second Umbrella Regiment Anti-Chemical Platoon, are you from the Marine Corps?"

"Yeah, from the first regiment of the land battle team, I was transferred to help after I went to Yiling Prefecture to suppress the bandits two days ago."

"Okay, let me see where there is still a lack of people, uh...you go to Xiaoshe Township and Changtang Village."

In order to eliminate snails in the countryside of the epidemic area more efficiently, the Second Parachute Regiment and No.17 Infantry Division stationed in Nanchang and Anqing Prefectures were ordered to dispatch their respective chemical defense units to help.

So is it because the imperial envoy has more power, or Zhu Lingjing has more face?

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

In recent years, with the rapid development of aviation technology, the research and exploration of countries around the world have become more and more in-depth. Some countries' militaries have tried to form an organic airborne force.

In the year before, that is, Qiyuan 7934, the German Society organized a semi-public exercise in Hamburg. The German army organized 15 Do-17 bombers and 28 Ju-52 transport aircraft. The former dragged the glider, and the latter directly airdropped , The deployment of two battalions of paratroopers at one time surprised European countries.

So Tsarist Russia followed suit. Last year, based on an infantry brigade, it formed its own paratrooper unit;

Daming's reaction was relatively small, and only two paratrooper regiments have been formed today to explore and test the use of this new unit.

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

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

The village is built by the water, and beside it is a small stream several meters wide. There are several weeping willows by the stream, and the tender green willow branches hang down to the stream.

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

Because it is a large village, not only ancestral halls, archways, and docks are all available here, but also Dehua County No.14 Primary School is also built here, which contains the more solemn and simple style of Gan style architecture everywhere.

In the creek, a group of ducks can be seen paddling the water. Standing on the ridge of the field, Zhou Changfeng looked around and couldn't help sighing, "It's really traffic, and chickens and dogs hear each other."

If it weren't for the epidemic, the actual life here should be peaceful and peaceful. However, due to the outbreak of schistosomiasis again, the villagers have to be cautious again.

The cultural level of the officers and soldiers of the Marine Corps is much higher than that of the Army, and even [-]% of the soldiers are middle school graduates, which means that their learning ability and comprehension ability are stronger.

Through the briefing before, more than forty people in the chemical defense platoon have understood the precautions, and now they are preparing for the incineration operation.

The chief Jia and the security chiefs of Changtang Village have organized the young and strong people in the village to pile up the collected snails. There are six or seven piles in total, about knee height.

Zhou Changfeng put on rubber gloves, knelt down and picked up one, about one centimeter long, pointed and long, pagoda-shaped, gray, it was the oncomelania, the intermediate host of the schistosomiasis.

"Let's start." He threw the nail screw back, then got up and walked away.

The soldiers also put on rubber gloves and split chemical protective suits, and the soldiers carrying the flamethrower adjusted the pressure of the gas tank, and then tried to launch it into the wilderness.

Then, with a "huh", the raging flames poured on one of the snails, and Zhou Changfeng, who was standing a few steps away, couldn't help squinting his eyes due to the billowing heat.

There are limited means of incineration among the people, and the burning temperature of straw, firewood, and straw is limited. If they are used to incinerate snails, the killing rate is less than [-]%.

In contrast, even if napalm is not used in the current flamethrower, it can reach thousands of degrees.

In addition to incineration methods, according to the epidemic prevention guidebook, pesticides should also be used in ponds and streams where snails exist in epidemic areas, so as to eliminate snails to the maximum extent through a two-pronged approach.

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

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

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

If mechanized operations are not considered, there are only 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 mastered the "cutting-edge" ammonia synthesis process, so the way of chemical fertilizers was blocked, but the officials of Gezhiyuan found another way through 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 available pesticides among countless compounds, they happened to find that it had a fairly good insecticidal effect. Because its chemical formula is CHCl, and its structure has six carbon, hydrogen, and chlorine atoms each, it was named 666.

666 was highly valued by the imperial court, and soon after the specific experiments were successful, it was put into mass production. Because of its low production cost and simple process, it has almost set up factories in more than [-] prefectures in Ming Dynasty.

Daming thus became the first country to mass-produce and apply chemical pesticides. After all, to feed a growing population of more than [-] million people, agricultural production cannot be neglected.
