Chapter 301 Population explosion
Lu Bu waved repeatedly: "Don't delay your work, everyone will get up. A happy life is not given to you by this general, it is all created by everyone with hard work. As the saying goes, people are hard-working but not lazy. As long as everyone is willing to endure hardships and work hard, they will definitely be able to eat."
"Don't worry, sir, I will work hard."
Lu Bu walked over, and Ai patted his shoulders one by one, trying hard for everyone.
"Big livestock can work and produce fertilizers. Now the government has gradually promoted horses and mules. If you need it, you can pay attention to the business bank to purchase."
Everyone is very grateful. Where can I find such a great thing?
You should know that in the past, farmers were poor and could barely eat them all year round. If they encounter disasters and famines, they would have to eat bark and leaves.
Now there are potatoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, and old corns that are gnawed, especially these types of grains are still resistant to barrenness, and the land does not need to fallow, and it grows every year and produces every year.
The people regarded Lu Bu as a god.
Lu Bu and Diao Chan patrol the pepper field, and symbolically looked at dozens of acres before going back because it disturbed the farmers' work.
Diao Chan smiled with her lips pursed and said, "It is said that all the emperors of Xudu like to eat our chili sauce. This year, more than 10,000 acres of planted around her are finally doing something for her husband and sharing her worries."
Lu Bu touched Diao Chan's black hair with pity: "Don't be tired in normal times, pay more attention to rest. The hot pepper sauce has been sold, and it has earned a lot of money for our Xuzhou. The wife is a great contribution. However, the factory in the backyard is gradually insufficient, and a new workshop will be opened next year."
"It's good, but it's going to be in the city. The women who make chili sauce are all homes and have to go home to do housework after work at night. It's too inconvenient if they are outside the city."
"It makes sense, it's not safe to go home at night. Well, then choose a place in the city, mainly because it uses more water."
Diaochan, the hot sauce factory, not only produces chili sauce, but also produces pickled cabbage, pickled beans, snow red, etc. Washing vegetables is the first step. Now, garbage is used to make fertilizer. All the cut and inedible parts are taken to make fertilizer.
Diao Chan has been well-known in management. Quality is the first priority and chooses good raw materials. Don’t have any bad raw materials. You should throw them away and throw them away.
This is the benefit of aristocratic families doing business, not stingy.
Workers earn relatively high wages. The hot sauce shop never deducts the wages of female workers. What is commendable is that the workshops come and go freely. It is easy to quit if they don’t want to do it. Unlike some small workshops, the boss always finds ways to deduct wages if they don’t do it.
All spring, except for Youzhou to clear out horse thieves, no major battle was launched.
The entire Xuzhou is developing agricultural breeding, with the largest promotion area of potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn, and is deeply loved by the poor.
The current situation is that even the village on the mountainside in the remote village of Taishan County can eat by growing barren-tolerant crops like sweet potatoes.
A new method has been developed in the eastern mountainous areas, sweet potato noodles pancakes.
The sweet potato noodle pancake made from the big glass doesn’t taste very good, but this is the most common way to eat it in the vast rural areas in the mountains.
Potatoes and rapeseed are also promoted.
It is simple to plant and has high yields. It can cook and cook.
Once society is stable and can have a meal, the population will begin to explode.
In the Governor's Office, Lu Bu only came once every ten geniuses.
The head of the household brought a thick stack of files, which were all files of the county and county under Xuzhou that issued childbirth subsidies.
Chen Gong next to him happily shook his fan: "From the twelfth lunar month last year to now, there has been a total of five months, and the new population has been very large. How many people are there?"
"fifty thousand?"
Chen Gong shook his head: "My lord underestimates our Xuzhou too much. You should know that eating full is the dream that the people have dreamed of for hundreds of years. Why do people only eat two meals? It is not because eating two meals is a good habit, but to save food for two meals. In just five, 180,000 new babies were added, and these are only under Xuzhou. There has not been an effective statistics in other places."
"Will anyone falsely report it to get subsidies?"
"There is this possibility, but we randomly checked. There may be two or three false reports in a thousand. Once it is confirmed that it is mines and stones, so the proportion of false reports is extremely low. It is expected that 300,000 will be born in the second half of the year. It turns out that every household is not full, and the couple dare not have sex. Now the new grain promoted by the lord completely solves the problem of eating, and every household can eat full. Now that they are starting to have babies, and with a stable environment, fewer people die in the war, so the surge in population is inevitable."
It turned out that war and famine formed a kind of elimination. Most of the elderly, weak, sick and disabled were eliminated, and the proportion of young people was extremely high. Now that life is better, the fertility rate suddenly increased.
"The speed of having children is OK, it is 500,000 or 600,000 a year. However, the matters that should be regulated must be regulated. According to the Western Zhou Dynasty's etiquette and law, men and women are 20 years old. Our great man stipulates that men and women are married at the age of 18. Now some places start getting married at the age of 14 or 15. This is very wrong. Early marriage is strictly prohibited, and close relatives within three generations are strictly prohibited. The etiquette and law that should be restored should still be restored. The official station formulates implementation rules."
After hearing this, Chen Gong shook his head: "It's hard. Those who get married early are rich families, and they don't receive subsidies. Children from poor families are still bachelors in their twenties."
"This is simple, publicity. Women are prone to dangers when giving birth. Once there is a problem, adults and children are gone. Men get married at an early age of 30 and become weak. If you look for a doctor, you must publicize the harm of early marriage. After several years of hard work, everyone will understand it, and it will be better slowly. When getting married, you must go to the yamen to get married. If a wealthy family does not receive a marriage letter, it will be fined and condemned if they do this inappropriately."
Chen Gong was fooled by Lu Bu and was stunned. It turned out that there were so many dangers to get married early.
I asked the doctor, and what I said was even more terrible. It damages the yang energy and the serious ones will also affect life span. It is just right to get married at the age of 18, so it cannot be earlier.
The head of the household was a little distressed: "There are quite a lot of milk powder now, and one out of ten produces can receive milk powder."
It wouldn't work if Lu Bu touched it, he had to come up with an alternative.
"There is no problem in the short term, and it can be supplied. But in the long run, everyone needs to find more solutions to cultivate cows that produce milk and sheep that produce milk."
"I have been breeding. I have selected dairy goats from Langya, which can produce three or four kilograms of milk a day. But there are only a few dozen heads and cannot develop in the short term. As for milk that has not been found, ordinary yellow cattle produces milk enough for calves to eat. With the promotion of horses, horse milk will produce more and more milk, but babies cannot drink it."
