Chapter 265
"Now there are three months left before winter..." The next day, Liu Tao came to the field. After negotiations earlier, he requisitioned twenty acres of land as the experimental field. Now he came, mainly plowing the land and other things, which took some time.
Thanks to him getting a lot of farm tools from Zhongshan County, mainly from the Su family, he would have gotten a lot of farm tools, otherwise it would not have been so fast or so good.
At this moment, the twenty naturalized Hu people in front of him were. Most of them had to undergo the second test in half a month, and after passing, they could obtain Chinese citizenship. I guess they didn't want to anger Liu Tao, so they generously gave up their farmland as a test field.
After looking at them, Liu Tao continued: "It is enough to grow soybeans for a season, but now I plan to grow wheat. It is divided into four to five situations and cultivate them, so that everyone can compare which one has a higher yield."
"Prince, what do you say, what we do is..." These twenty households said one after another. Even if there may be problems with their fertility next year, they have to be abandoned for a year, and there is no big problem for each acre of acre.
"I don't say that. I know many of you think I'm just making fun of it, so it doesn't matter how I mess around..." Liu Tao shook his head, "But just like I rented or sold you better ploughing tools, I certainly hope that Yunzhong County's arable land will produce more grain without damaging the terrestrial power."
Then he pointed to these fields and said, "What I have to do now is to increase the yield of the fields according to the method I know, without harming the ground force. But in order to compare which one is better, we divided it into different situations for experiments."
"In other words, based on the results of the experiment, the best ones will be promoted in the future..." Lu Yan stepped forward. In fact, he was on the forefront of farming during this period, so he was more familiar with these people.
"But when the output increases, will the price fall?" Unexpectedly, someone replied like this.
"Oh, where did you hear about this concept?" Liu Tao was a little curious.
"Occasionally, when chatting with the original farmers in the Yunzhong, they said that the increase in output will lead to a drop in the price of food. At that time, we will work hard for a year and the food we grow will not be enough for food or clothing..." the man replied.
"So to avoid this problem," Liu Tao explained, "Changping Warehouse is being established. The main function of this granary is only one, that is, purchasing grain at a fair price and selling grain at a fair price, so it is called Changping Warehouse."
"To put it bluntly, when the grain output is high, you will buy grain at the market price and will not let you suffer losses. At the same time, when the grain prices rise in the year of disaster, sell grain to you at a fair price." Lu Yan further explained.
"Prince, you must be the messenger sent by Changshengtian to save us..." One of the older ones knelt down directly for Liu Tao.
How could you feel grateful to _____ for creating ______ to save us? Seeing this, Liu Tao couldn't help but complain.
"Remember, the Great Han Dynasty cannot control the Great Han Dynasty. If you really want to thank you, you should thank the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, Di Jun or Tai Yi. Also, don't forget that you will undergo the second test soon. At that time, you will obtain Chinese language and become the true Han people." Liu Tao reminded.
"Yes, yes, this commoner must pay attention!" After hearing this, the latter knew that he had said the wrong thing and quickly slapped himself.
The entire experimental field is divided into two large pieces: fields that have irrigation canals and fields that do not have irrigation canals and need to be carried water.
On this basis, it is divided into three categories: farming technology controlled by naturalized Hu people, farming technology controlled by Han people in Yunzhong, and new technologies that Liu Tao will soon promote.
Let’s not talk about other things. Among the technologies promoted by Liu Tao, deep cultivation, insect removal, weeding and fertilization are the key points. In terms of fertilization, the fertilization pond is used to use fermented fertilizers and fermented ponds, which have been dug long ago by the field.
Liu Tao told him what he was doing, and then the people around him suddenly realized that it was no wonder that they had to set up a public toilet, collect the manure, and pour it into the manure fermentation tank. It turned out that it was prepared for this.
"Now the government hired people to collect them. After the results are released, I guess you will have to go to the city to collect them yourself." Liu Tao reminded that after all, these farmers will eventually benefit from this thing.
"If the output can be really increased, then we naturally don't need the prefect to give instructions, and we will take it spontaneously." More than 20 Gengnong responded one after another. In fact, what really made them feel at ease was the existence of often closing positions.
In other words, they are more concerned about whether the regular closing position will be really set up and whether their grain can be purchased at market prices.
Feeling their questions, Liu Tao had to make another promise, and finally called Jian Yong over and announced in public that the current construction progress of Changping's position was the guaranteed people who were so excited that they almost jumped up.
"The people are actually very easy to be content..." On the way back, Liu Tao sighed, "As long as you can eat and wear warm clothes, you can have some money, and make a pot of sour wine to satisfy your cravings... Why aren't you allowed it?"
"Greed itself is endless, especially when no one can stop them." Guo Jia certainly knew what Liu Tao was referring to, "Isn't it because of this?"
"Otherwise, what do you think I set up a library for?" Liu Tao replied casually, "But the matter here has come to an end..."
The subsequent matter was that the officials below had a headache, which had nothing to do with him. They all became prefect and were still tired, so why bother?
He paused and sighed: "Speaking of this, I have been in Yunzhong for a while, and I don't know what the situation of the border army is. Is it not good to be caught between Wuyuan County and Yanmen County and not say hello to them at all, right?"
The Hu people really want to go south or north, at least they have the ability to resist. However, everyone is in border counties, and if the Hu people invade, they must help each other.
After so long I came to Yunzhong, I didn't say hello to the border army, which seemed a little unreasonable.
"Then why don't you call the leaders of the two places to gather together?" Guo Jia asked back.
"Ah?" Liu Tao couldn't react a little. Can the commander of the border county be called here at will?
"Lord, have you forgotten that you have the identity of a general in Zhenbei?" Guo Jia hurriedly asked.
"Yes, what's wrong?" Liu Tao hadn't reacted yet.
"I have learned a little about it. In theory, the lord is stationed in Yunzhong County as General Zhenbei, and should be able to control the border troops of Bingzhou. Subordinates should be right when they meet their superiors, right?" Guo Jiashou had to explain.
