The Agricultural Bureau is a newly established department of Chu Yun and is directly managed by Chu Yun. It has the same status as the Ordnance Bureau. It has a land management office and the Agricultural Technology Promotion Office. The Land Management Office is naturally responsible for managing the farmland and contracting farmland in various villages in Jinzhouwei, as well as collecting rents. The Agricultural Technology Promotion Office is managed by scientists from Great Britain and is responsible for guiding the agricultural production of various large farms.

"Who are these people? Their understanding of agriculture is far beyond the knowledge of their subordinates, which makes them admire them too much." Chen Ting was deeply impressed by the British agronomist who took over the Agricultural Technology Promotion Office.

"Western technology has begun to surpass our Ming Dynasty. We cannot sit in the sky and watch the sky. Yelang is arrogant. I just attracted some agricultural experts from the West." In order to conceal the past, Chu Yun had to brag to Chen Ting.

In fact, in the British Empire on the other side of the ocean, these scientists will be decades before they were born.

"The West is so powerful?" Chen Tingxi was frightened, "Compared with the West, the Later Jin Dynasty does not seem to be our biggest threat."

"That's true." Chu Yun agreed.

Indeed, a hundred years later, the Later Jin Dynasty, which defeated the Ming Dynasty, was abused by the Westerners, and even the capital was easily captured.

"It seems that there are time subordinates who want to ask Tahr and others for the 'science' they talked about." Chen Ting muttered.

Chu Yun was also inspired when he heard Chen Ting's mutter. If he had time, he should try to open a school to teach and let the people of the Ming Dynasty learn modern science courses. However, at present, Chu Yun only has agricultural scientists and engineers like Watt, and there are still scientists from other disciplines. This school cannot be opened for the time being.

At present, Chu Yun can only save the country in a curve. He first let some people learn from Taal, Watt and others, and then slowly promote these technologies and knowledge. As for comprehensively carrying out science education such as mathematics, chemistry, physics, and biology, let's talk about it later.

"I heard that a group of Westerners came to our farm and said that General Chu Yun sent us to teach us how to farm." The villagers of Xuejia Village were talking.

An unusual thing happened this morning. A team of soldiers holding muskets escorted several Westerners and a dozen apprentices to Xuejia Village, saying that they wanted to develop the Xuejia Village farm into a test field. These Westerners and apprentices were from the recently established Agricultural Bureau.

"Western people can also farm? We have planted fields for thousands of years, and they still need them to teach us?"

"These Westerners have also come up with new varieties, which seem to be called corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc. It is said to be high-yield and cold-resistant crops, and the yield per mu can easily reach more than 200 kilograms."

"No way, our wheat yield per mu is only more than 100 kilograms. Is this kind of thing that magical?"

Just as the villagers in Xuejia Village were discussing the matter of Westerners, the people from the Agricultural Bureau gathered all the farmers who contracted the farm in Xuejia Village.

"Everyone, this is an agricultural expert hired by General Chu from the West, and he is also a senior executive of our Agriculture Bureau. They will guide everyone to plant in the future." The farmer of Xuejia Village Farm said to all the farmers.

"Is Westerners OK? What if we mess up here?"

"That's right, I have been growing old farmers for most of my life, and I have never heard of farming that requires others to teach them." Someone among the farmers asked.

"Please don't have to question. General Chu has an order. If you plant according to the guidance of the Agricultural Bureau, the tax will be reduced by half. The most important thing is that if the harvest does not increase this fall, General Chu will compensate everyone for their losses." The farmer put forward another important policy.

If planting according to the requirements can reduce taxes, even if the result is messed up, you can still get compensation? Do you still have to think about it? The villagers of Xuejia Village have decided to do what Chu Yun said.

Since it is still not sure what kind of cultivation system and crops are suitable for the soil and climate in southern Liaoning, Tar, Townsend, Bradley, Cork and others plan to divide the Xuejia Village farm into more than ten experimental fields, plant different crops and conduct experiments. The breeder Beckwell is responsible for conducting scientific experiments on the cattle, sheep and pig breeds that can be found in southern Liaoning... to cultivate excellent varieties.

Seeing batches of different crops being planted into the fields, and the people from the Agriculture Bureau searched for different species of livestock everywhere, making the Xuejia Village furious, the farmers in Xuejia Village were confused and confused. However, since Chu Yun promised compensation, the farmers in Xuejia Village were left to make trouble.

"Are you really going to move to the city?" The village chief of Xuejia Village is going to see another family away today.

"We have thought about it seriously. Our child was just born and was plundered by the Later Jin in the past two years. The family has no savings. Even if we contracted the land, we can't wait for the harvest season. If we can work in the city and get four taels of silver a month, our lives should be better." The family said.

"Forget it, everyone has their own ambitions, and it is not convenient for me, the old village chief, to say anything. Oh, if the old man was even twenty or thirty years younger, he would definitely go to the city to make a fortune, and maybe he could make a name for himself."

"Thanks to your care for the village chief over the years, we will definitely enter the city to play when you have time."

Many villages in Jinzhouwei are performing similar scenes. Driven by silver, a group of villagers brought their families to Jinzhou City and participated in this great industrial revolution for the sake of life.

"Jinzhou Textile Factory is recruiting people, with a monthly salary of 2 taels of silver, no limit on men and women, and dividends will be distributed at the end of the year. Don't miss it when you pass by!"

"Jinzhou Leather Factory has recruited people, and the price is based on pieces. Two taels of silver guaranteed. The more you work, the more you get!"

"The Jinzhou Smelter has recruited people, and the young and strong man's monthly salary starts at three taels of silver!"

In Jinzhou City, various factories established are lacking in labor. The hard-working villagers were stolen before they could take a closer look at Jinzhou City.

"Sir, the shanty town is in a hurry. The speed of building houses is far from keeping up with the speed of villagers flocking into the city. If it continues, it may affect public security!" The people who maintain public security in the city asked Chu Yun for emergency.

"Let them squeeze for the time being, and those who can't squeeze out can sleep directly in the factory. After the shanty town is built and confirmed to be safe, they can move in." Chu Yun said.

He could not have imagined that the people in troubled times were not as strong as those in prosperous times. Maybe in peaceful times, everyone wanted a piece of land to maintain the livelihood of family and young, but in troubled times, it was hard to say that they would be in different places tomorrow, and they didn’t know who would snatch the land. They were far inferior to silver treasures, and they would live one day.
