Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 50 The plan of the year lies in spring
At this time, the earth's population is only [-] to [-] million, there is no global warming caused by excessive carbon emissions, and the climate is abnormal during the Little Ice Age. This era is really fucking cold!Winter began in October, and after a year with the characteristics of the Han Dynasty, the icy and snowy winter lasted for more than two months.

Fortunately, the ice and snow still have time to melt after all. In the third month of the lunar calendar, the weather finally began to warm up. The land of Xudu, which had been frozen for half a year, returned to a simple blackness from paleness, and soon the land began to appear green again. Glow upgrade.

However, the arrival of spring may not be a good thing for the palace. Wang Hou’s coal mines and iron mines on the mountain can only come to an end temporarily. After all, in this year, no wealth can compare to food! All have to make way for spring plowing.

Most of the people in the mine were repatriated to the foot of the mountain, and the [-] mu of land that Cao Cao gave him was divided into seven villages. Well, although it is called a village, it actually didn’t even have a house, and they only lived in the kang for a few months. The vagrants had to move down the straw pile first, and continued to drill into the straw pile to rest at night.

Four to five hundred old and weak people were left in the coal mine to continue digging. This winter, at least a lot of coal reserves were stored, and the demand for briquettes for heating dropped sharply in the spring, and there was no danger of shortage after using it for more than half a year. As for coke According to the low production capacity of Wang Hou's blacksmith shop, it will not be a problem to use it for three years.

Thirty strong men were left in the iron mine, and a dozen or so blacksmiths including Wang Yuan were also left in the blacksmith shop. In this era of salt and iron monopoly, small iron mines are a rare source of income bestowed by Mr. Cao. Hou has no more income, and he really can't give up.

Moreover, the sword and armor of the Wang family is famous in Xudu City. Half a month ago, a general named Li An, one of Mr. Cao's subordinates, wore the armor forged by Wang Hou's shop and went hunting in the mountains. Three of them were broken, and the wild boar teeth also broke on the armor plate. The armor didn't even break a hole. This living example immediately made Wang Hou popular, and the orders were all scheduled for next year.

In terms of spring farming, Wang Hou, a traveler from later generations, is also so different from other literati and landlord families. Other families directly rent the land to tenants in pieces, and then harvest in autumn. Cows receive three points, public cattle receive half, food and grass are tight in this apocalypse, and some unscrupulous landlords receive half of private cattle, and public cattle receive seven points. .

Production team!
There are three V-belts on the left side of the heavy waist, three V-belts on the right side, and three black pipe heads are exposed under the V-belts. The heavy Wang Hou pants are about to fall off, thinking about the flat stomach, This guy didn't care about it at all, slapping his hands triumphantly.

"Brothers, folks, the plan for a year lies in spring, and spring plowing is about to start, but there are unpredictable things in the sky. We are eating on the face of God in this kind of land. Once there is a natural or man-made disaster, there may be no harvest. My master is The loss of a few acres of crops may mean that you will run out of food immediately, so I decided to take the risk! No matter how much food you receive in the autumn harvest, I will accept it, and you don’t have to wait until the harvest After autumn, Master Ben will distribute to you according to your work every month!"

200 people, divided into seven brigades, each with [-] households and [-] Dingkou to cultivate [-] mu of land, each brigade is divided into ten small teams, a total of ten production captains are responsible for assigning tasks, calculating centimeters, planting [-] centimeters per acre of seedling transplanting, [-] centimeters of watering per mu of land, [-] centimeters of weeding, [-] centimeters of canal digging, and other specific tasks, each production team will report to Wang Fuwang's housekeeper to decide! At the end of each month, [-] work points can be exchanged for [-] stone Wheat! Ten centimeters can be ground once in the mill of our Wang family, and there are many benefits, which are also decided by your production team leader and Wang steward!"

"And in order to encourage everyone to work, in the first month of spring plowing, my master will directly reward each household with two stones of flour! The hoes and shovels used for labor will also be gifted by the palace for free. Folks, the more you work, the more you will get! The more you earn, the better off you become, all in your own hands, and every hoe you lay down is for yourselves, everyone, work hard!"

The landlord bears the risk of farming, as long as he contributes, he can guarantee the harvest in drought and flood. This is an unprecedented good thing in this era. After listening to Wang Hou's flickering, more than 4000 refugee tenants range from sixty to seventy old men to thirteen or fourteen. The ground beans are full of animal blood, and they can't help but excitedly raise the farm tools in their hands. If this energy is used in battle, it is estimated that no army in the world can resist such a fanatical attack.

But listening to the bloodthirsty roar of the peasants below, Wang Fu on the side cautiously clasped his fists and asked for instructions.

"Master! If these mud-legged people go to work day and night, wouldn't they be at a loss?"

"What are you worried about? According to my master's requirements, you only get fifty work points for one mu of land. Besides, sixty people plow forty mu of land. How much grain can you earn for a month?"

What you buy is never good enough to sell, and the peasants can't compete against the greedy landlord Wang Hou. He hummed softly indifferently, and faced the old farmers who were full of excitement and thanked him, Wang Hou didn't blush. Jumping, it is more than a fist to encourage them.

"Folks, make a fortune and go to a well-off life!"

…………

Before the spring plowing started, Zhao Laotian from Zhaojia Village and Niu Wanjin from Niujia Village came to the door again. They bothered Wang Hou for a while, insisting that he favored one another, and wanted to bring the two villages to join the production team plan.

Those who jumped into the pit by themselves, of course, Wang Hou had to agree. Zhaojia Village and Niujia Village were divided into two teams with more than a dozen small teams, and Wang Hou even gave them special approval. A bunch of new farm tools, the two happy old men were singing praises, but they didn't know how dumbfounded they were at the end of autumn.

In this way, the production relationship since the Spring and Autumn Period, Warring States, Qin and Han Dynasties has completely changed in Wang Hou's hands. It used to be a tenant slave system, but now it has transformed into another employment relationship. The attachment relationship has been relaxed a lot.

However, the power of a small change in production relations will not be revealed until several years later.

The efficiency of collective labor has been revealed. If in the past, there were [-] cows in a village, and the owner and the west borrowed all the money, running around, it might not be possible to plow the village's allotment in a month at the beginning of spring, but now three Ten oxen are pulling the plow, no matter whose family it is, plowing in this way in one trip, the whole land goes directly in one ditch, and it is only ten days after the ice and snow melt, and other people's fields near Xudu are still plowing a little bit. At the time of Long, Wang Hou's plowing fields had already begun to sow seeds.

But here, a group of old farmers realized how difficult it is for Master Wang to get his work points!Other people’s plows can be dug up to the feet, and some of them don’t even dig the plows, but directly sow the seeds, but Wang Hou’s plows have to be plowed to the calf depth, and the seeds are not scattered extensively, but Every [-] centimeters, dig a deep hole, fill it with germinated wheat, and then bury it with cultivated soil.

This kind of sowing is about to kill people. A whole family of young and old will be able to sow an acre of land in a few days.

And the cultivation is not finished yet, and fertilization is still needed. Now, Wang Hou ordered the biogas digester that has been trapped for a whole winter to come in handy, and the biogas produced is now almost burned. Under Wang Hou's order, the young people in the village have returned Panting, he dug up the edges of dozens or hundreds of biogas pools, and used a big iron spear to carve holes in the walls of the pools.

Not to mention, after a whole winter of fermentation, these human and animal feces have completely changed at this time, turning into a black, sticky liquid, because the methane has been burned, and the pungent smell has long since disappeared. , just slightly smelly, but that appearance is similar to the mud in the swamp.

It looks inconspicuous, but it is rich in nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and amino acids excreted by human and animal bodies. It is said that it is more than ten times more effective than synthetic fertilizers. Is it so amazing? Wang Hou is also the first time to farm. We can only rely on practice to find out the truth. It is said that this thing does not burn seedlings, and the residue of biogas slurry is released from the biogas tank into large urns, and the other end is transported to the fields by farmers on a wheelbarrow specially made for spring plowing. Go, there are more women than men under Mao Jue's command. Every village woman wrapped a towel around her head, held a ladle while pinching her nose, and splashed these natural fertilizers on the land.

Every seed needs to be fertilized. In this way, it will take more than a day to irrigate an acre of land, and in the month of planting, fertilize once every five days, and fertilize six times a month. , After finishing work every day, when I go back and look at the dry work points of the production team leader on the small blackboard, a group of production team members are almost crying.

However, green vegetables and radishes have their own favorites. The group of tenant farmers under Wang Hou’s command were exhausted by intensive cultivation, and their backs ached. They complained a lot, but some people just loved it. Old man Yu Jiyu took his apprentice and asked for a piece of hillside on Wang Houshan. , actually began to cultivate vegetables and food by hand, and when other people came to receive fertilizer, they pinched their noses as far away from the fertilizer bucket as possible. After the bucket was full, the old guy curiously put his index finger in, dipped one finger, then wrapped it in his mouth, chewed and tasted the marsh manure slowly.

Not to mention the green faces of the people around, just happened to be Wang Hou strolling over to inspect the biogas pond, seeing this scene, he took a sad mouthful, and vomited out all the noodles and poached eggs that he ate in the morning.

People are drifting in the rivers and lakes, there is always a time to pay back, and Ye Xiang's warehouse is finally carried to Ye Xiang.

Fortunately, hard work pays off. Wang Hou even ignored his reputation. He poured a lot of dung all winter, and it began to show its miraculous effect in this spring. When the seedlings fall, palm-high emerald green seedlings have grown in Wang Hou's family field. The spring breeze blows, and strands of wheat seedlings stretch their bodies vigorously. This refreshing scene, even if the tired sweat drops to the ground Occasionally, the tenants straightened up and took a look. The greenery all over the mountains and plains was still enough to soothe them and make them feel relaxed and happy.

so beautiful!
