Chapter 33 Agricultural Technology in the Eighteenth Century

"The expropriation of land for gentry has basically ended, and basically all the gentry have been forced to compromise. Because most villagers can contract land, they have been sought after by many villagers. In addition, because we have paid enough silver, some villagers have recently come to Jinzhou City to settle down..." Chen Ting reported to Chu Yun about the results of the past month.

"Isn't that very good?" Chu Yun said.

"But we... bought dozens of land from big squires and had debts of tens of thousands of taels. Do you think it's very good?" Chen Ting quickly turned his head blank and looked at the astronomical bill.

"We have taken a big advantage in just tens of thousands of taels of silver. If you use tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy the land of Jinzhouwei for me in peacetime? It will be easy to pay it out after three years, with our development momentum." Chu Yun didn't care.

Only after 80% of the land in Jinzhou Wei was expropriated, Chu Yun could carry out agricultural reforms. If the land was not controlled by himself, would he expect those gentry to improve their production technology? Do they know what hybrid rice is, what is cultivation of excellent species, and what is fertilizer?

However, even if Chu Yun himself knew these concepts of agricultural production, he had to rely on Chu Yun's poor knowledge to produce cross-age things such as fertilizers and hybrid rice. Therefore, he could only rely on the mysterious industrial revolution system.

When Chu Yun opened the industrial revolution system, the first thing he thought of was Mendel, the father of Austrian genetics. However, the industrial revolution system showed that Chu Yun's civilization points were not enough to ignite the biotechnology of the 19th century. As for hybrid rice, synthetic fertilizer technology required more civilization points. Chu Yun had to focus on agricultural production technology in the 18th century.

"Seeder technology requires 100 civilization points." Chu Yun has conducted some research on the agricultural revolution in modern Great Britain and knows that seedder technology is a good thing. Although there were seeds like pikes in the Ming Dynasty, the seed efficiency was actually not high enough.

"Host you have chosen the seeder technology, and you can reduce the civilization point by 100 points. The Industrial Revolution system will summon scientific and technological talents from parallel space and time to help you realize the seeder technology... In the link... Tar from Great Britain will help you realize the seeder technology."

With the blink of an eye, a blond and blue-eyed old man appeared in front of Chu Yun with a strange machine. The machine consisted of an iron frame, springs and wood. Chu Yun could not tell how it operated.

"Sir, here is Taal, this is the seed machine invented by Taal. I installed a spring device in the seed machine, and used a copper cover and an adjustable spring to control the speed of planting falling and adjust the seed amount..." Taal began to introduce his research results confidently.

"Yeah." Chu Yun nodded in admiration, although it was still difficult for him to understand the principles of this machine.

"...With a seed planter, we can save time, labor and five-sixths of seeds, and the survival rate of seeds will be greatly improved." Tarr finally finished the introduction.

Finally, it’s about the key point! What Chu Yun needs to know is the effect of the seeder. If it is really as Taal said, then with the seeder technology, the yield can be increased.

The technology of igniting seeds is far from enough, and Chu Yun igniting another agricultural technology - Sipu rotation and farming method. This is not a physical invention, but a farming technology. Although Chu Yun knows the rotation method, he still needs to take the lead in how to do it.

"Host you chose the Sipu rotation and farming technology, which can be reduced by 100 points. The Industrial Revolution system will summon scientific and technological talents from parallel space and time to help you realize the Sipu rotation and farming technology... In the link... Townsend, a nobleman from Great Britain and Bradley, a professor at the University of Cambridge, will help you realize the Sipu rotation and farming technology."

Chu Yun gritted his teeth and ignited another agricultural production technology. This time, two old men in their fifties were summoned. One was the noble Townsend and the other was Bradley.

"Senior Taal, have you been summoned too?" After Townsend and Bradley came to this world, they saw Taal who was also summoned and said in surprise.

"Townsend, Bradley, long time no see, are you all okay?" Tar gave each of them a warm hug.

Chu Yun was shocked when he saw his chin. It turned out that these three guys knew each other.

"You three know each other?" Chu Yun asked.

"That's certainly. We are people from the same era as the British Empire, and we all like to specialize in agronomy. The circle is so small, and it's too normal to know each other."

"Our research is based on the research results of senior Taal. Without the research of senior Taal, there would be no four-cultural rotation and tillage method for four-cultural rotation and tillage method for four-cultural rotation and tillage method for four-cultural rotation and tillage every year, namely, planting four different crops, planting wheat in the first year, planting barley in the second year, planting alfalfa and bare wheat in the third year, and planting radishes in the fourth year. By planting different crops every year, maintaining the fertility of the land, the barren land can be turned into a wealthy grain field. However, the specific crops to be rotated and how to plant them depends on the specific climate and soil variety." Townsend and Bradley talked endlessly about their own research.

Chu Yun still knows this principle. Rotary crops are made of crops such as alfalfa that can increase the nitrogen fertilizer content of the soil, as well as crops such as radish that can purify the soil, maintain the fertility of the land, increase grain production, and provide feed for livestock.

In addition to these two technologies, the greedy Chu Yun decided to give up and use up the remaining civilization points, so he also clicked on "agricultural and livestock comprehensive farm technology" and "exotic hybrid technology".

"Integrated Farming and Livestock Farm Technology" brings Cork in Great Britain, emphasizing the combination of planting and livestock feeding. For example, the emissions of cattle and sheep can increase the fertility of the soil, and the farm can provide feed for cattle and sheep.

"Sexual hybridization technology" brought the breeder Beckwell. His research results are to use heterogeneous hybridization and artificial elimination to cultivate excellent cattle and sheep breeds, which can greatly improve the quality and yield of cattle and sheep. According to Beckwell's statement, the weight of cattle and sheep he cultivated can be doubled.

Seeing the gathering of British agronomists being summoned by themselves, Chu Yun was excited. As long as these practitioners were allowed to take charge of the overall situation at the Agricultural Bureau, within a few years, Jinzhouwei would probably have endless food to eat.

"Dear scientists, the Agricultural Bureau has given it to you. Please be sure to help the people of Jinzhou solve the problem of food and clothing. You need manpower, equipment, and funds. Even if you apply, I will approve it if you can allow it." Chu Yun said to these treasure talents.
