Mingyue of the Great Song Dynasty http://www./0_1/   The latest work of the great master Xiangnan Xiaoxiaosheng! Chapter 9  Sanpu system

After leaving the port, Luo Lan returned to the palace.

Ellie ran over with dark circles on her eyes, "Hey, it's too hard for me in the Ministry of Education. I'm going to be dazzled when I count the population of children."

"You don't have to hurry, just count it slowly. We are short of people at present, and there are too few people who can read."

Luo Lan said helplessly, and Ellie photographed him, "How can you not be in a hurry? Didn't the feudal lords pay the money obediently? We will soon have money and can build a school soon."

Although Ellie has always despised Luo Lan's policies on the surface, she still has a strong desire to build a school in her heart.

Looking at Ellie's unhappy appearance, Luo Lan shook her head and sighed: "This money cannot be used to build a school, you must repair the toilet first."

"ah?"

Ellie opened her mouth wide and looked at Luo Lan like an idiot, "What do you mean? What toilet is built? Everyone just needs to find a field for convenience."

Ellie's idea is a common problem in this era.

Almost no country will notice environmental sanitation issues, and toilet repairs will be placed at the end.

But Luo Lan, who had lived in Bouji City for three months, felt the urgency of the toilet problem.

Cities without sewers, streets full of garbage, alleys filled with feces in the corners, and ports full of smelly fish...

It's too dirty. People here have no sense of hygiene. Once the quantitative change causes qualitative change, infectious diseases will kill people on the entire island.

Although the island has a good climate and often has monsoons, it does not mean that hygiene issues can be ignored.

Bouji Island has been gambling before, and it won’t cause infectious diseases, and it’s right. But Luo Lan dared not bet. When he saw mice running around the streets, he would be afraid of the Black Death disease. This is the biggest anxiety in modern people.

Moreover, toilet repair is linked to agriculture. If the toilet is repaired, you can use fermented feces to apply fertilizer.

Farmers understand the principle of fertilizing manure, but no one understands the concentrated fermentation of manure, because there has never been a collective pit on this island, and everyone solves it anywhere.

Luo Lan tried to explain the hygiene problem to Ellie. Ellie frowned and said, "Can the school be repaired after the toilet is repaired?"

"It's still not possible," Luo Lan spreads his hands, "and you still have to build roads. You have to remember that if you want to be rich, you must first build roads."

"Ah? Why do you need to build roads again? There are roads everywhere. What are you doing? And everyone stays in the village, and it's useless for you to build roads, no one will walk."

Ellie was anxious, she felt that Luo Lan was wasting money.

Luo Lan smiled mysteriously, "The roads on the island are all mud roads that are stepped on. The potholes cannot pass through ox, horse and carriages. I want to build a gravel road to connect the entire Buji Island."

This is the most basic policy. Without transportation, there would be no social development.

But Ellie didn't understand. She gave Luo Lan a tip to explain: "Idiot Prince, think about it carefully. The farmers don't need roads. They live and farm in the lord's land. Even if the transaction is a closed transaction, they only need roads when they come to siege the city."

"There is no need for roads now, what about three years? If farmers' wheat yields more than ten times, they have to sell wheat, and then they need to trade. We not only need roads, but also ships, and in the future we will transport wheat to land for sale."

More than ten times the yield?

Ellie opened her mouth wide in shock, then patted Luo Lan's head: "Did you not wake up? Even if everyone has motivation, everyone's physical strength is limited. How can they increase their yield by more than ten times?"

More than ten times, perhaps dozens or hundreds of times.

Luo Lan smiled without saying a word, and he patted Ellie's head with his backhand: "Now it's a centralized system. Don't question my decision. Follow the monarch and count the population."

"cut!"

More than a month later.

The lords were basically gone completely. Luo Lan led his troops to patrol the island with concentrated population, but no lord found it.

The land belonging to the lord has been taken back, and more than a dozen ministers under Gandalf are working hard to count.

The farmers were happy and sang and danced, not only thanking Luo Lan, but also because the autumn harvest was coming soon.

The golden wheat sways in the wind, and wheat can be seen at any time in the vast northern plains.

In densely populated areas of the countryside, many farmers are excitedly driving the birds eating wheat in the scorching sun.

In the past, they would never have been like this, because no matter how much wheat harvest is, the big head still belongs to the lord. But now it is different. All wheat belongs to their own, and it feels distressing for the bird to peck away a grain of rice.

Luo Lan took Barrett in the countryside, and after bypassing the enthusiastic people, he arrived at a high-slope grassland where he could see the wheat fields within his sight.

There are many wheat fields, and there is a lot of them, and there is no gap between the wheat fields. However, the land in the distance is empty and there is not a single wheat seedling.

Luo Lan walked down the wheat field and touched the land of the wheat field.

It is very hard and strong, like a piece of iron plate. The wheat grows crookedly on it, and many of them are crooked and cracked.

Seeing this, Luo Lan couldn't help but shake her head.

Barrett, behind him, untied his sword, jumped down, and stepped on the ridge of the field two footprints.

"Your Highness, what are you shaking your head?"

"This farming method is too primitive and is a waste of land. No wonder sometimes it takes sixty liters of seeds to plant a hundred liters of wheat."

Luo Lan sat down and picked up a piece of grass in his mouth.

Barrett was about to refute, but behind him, Yinling laughed: "Prince Luo Lan, do you look down on the Sanpu system?"

The two turned around and saw a beautiful woman wearing a black nun suit coming over.

Barrett immediately blushed, and the rough man ran away shyly.

Luo Lan smiled: "Miss Bina, why are you here?"

Over the past month, Luo Lan has been busy eliminating the feudal remnants, so busy that he has no time to see Bina before. Now he has a chance to see her in the wheat field.

"I have been in Uttar Pradesh these days. One is to treat farmers' illnesses, and the other is to help you promote the family contracting system. I just heard that you are here, so I will meet you."

Bina is a generous nun. She slid down the slope and sat next to Luo Lan, with dirt on her butt.

Luo Lan disappeared for a while, and it was pleasing to see her now, "You just said the Sanpu system?"

"Yes, the whole continent is planted now in the three-bed system, which divides the cultivated land into three parts, and each year there are fallow and two parts cultivated. One of them is the crop sown in spring and the other is the crop sown in autumn. This is a genius idea, more perfect than the second-bed system, and it was proposed by Duke Martin. Duke Martin is the Duke of your Hailing Kingdom, but he has passed away for a hundred years."

Bina sighed quite emotionally, "Duke Martin is a great man. The three-cultural system he created saved many farmers. You must know that in the past, everyone planted the land and then threw it away, but now they know how to recycle the land."

"That's how it is," Luo Lan touched her chin, "Duke Martin should have descendants? Didn't his descendants create more advanced planting technology?"

Luo Lan's words made Bina stunned. She frowned, "You really dare to say that you don't seem to think that the Sanpu system is better. Sometimes you have to be modest. I admit that your land system is unique, but you are not a farmer. You still have to respect the Martin family in terms of planting technology."

Bina was a little serious. She was someone who admired Duke Martin very much.
