Kill monsters in the Three Kingdoms and upgrade to become God of War

Chapter 291 Promotion and Voluntary

In the golden autumn of August, corn and rice can already be harvested, and the empty treasuries in various counties are about to be filled with grain.Kuaiji County has many mountains and little land. In the past, there was no need to send food to the governor at all. It is already good that there is no support from there.

After Li Ming stayed at home for five days, he could only obediently go to Yuyao County, where he owns a lot of land.

"According to my research, it is possible to plant two crops a year in the south. The climate here is good! You can even plant a season of beans in the middle without harvesting. I found that beans can be fertile!" Zhang Mo brought Li Ming into the farmland. , telling him in detail the experience he has summed up during this period of time.

"Yes, it's just that it's easy to make enemies with the aristocratic family!" Xun Biao must have come here immediately. He mainly wanted to prevent Li Ming from making enemies for himself in some arrangements.

After a pause, he continued: "One season a year, you can't change this at the moment, at most one season of beans can be done! Seafood has gradually flooded the market, replacing part of food consumption. Not to mention poultry and livestock farming. It directly leads to the price of food falling. However, there is a shortage of food everywhere now, so it is not a big problem.

If it is replaced by two seasons a year, although the grain will double, the price will also plummet.People who know that there is no need to worry about food will reduce hoarding food at home.Relatively speaking, it is a wealthy family with a lot of land and a lot of food, and the business has shrunk greatly!In my opinion, before pulling out Zhang and making him submit, it is not appropriate to attack the food too quickly! "

At present, the Gu family is still an important ally of the Li family, and they must not be pushed to the opposite side.As for the Zhang family, this is the one that has been discussed and must be pulled out, just because the Zhang family and the Hanzhong Zhang family belong to the same lineage.

The dark guard has already discovered that there seems to be a connection between the two families. In other words, the main information of Kuaiji County may pass through the Zhang family and eventually reach the hands of Liu Ting, the former deputy director of Yuntai. This is very unfavorable to Li Ming!
Li Ming would attack Yanba mainly for this reason.What the Xun family meant was that if you kill a tiger, you must kill it, otherwise it will cause future troubles. The established policy is to join forces with the other three major families in Wu County, the Gu family, the Lu family and the Zhu family.At this juncture, it is not good to offend Gu Shi again.

"What crop do you think is better to grow?" Li Ming looked at Zhang Mo, apparently deciding to compromise.

"Wushang, Damo, Zhuji, Yuji, Shanyin, Shan, Lishui, Xiantai and Shangyu, as well as Jinhua County, which is about to be built, have abundant water sources, which can fully meet the needs of rice cultivation. On the contrary, Yuyao, Juzhang, Yan, Yin and Zhang'an counties, and of course Tiantai and Yongkang counties, although there are mountain springs flowing through them, are obviously not suitable for growing rice, you can choose upland rice or corn!" Zhang Mo said slowly.

In fact, Li Ming knows very well that the water veins in this year are very different from those in later generations. As Zhang Mo said, there are actually no rivers passing by in several counties, but there are some mountain springs that flow down the mountains.There is not much water, and the collection is enough for living needs, as well as a small amount of agricultural needs. There are problems in the development of large-scale agriculture.

In other words, the counties of Yan, Yin, Yuyao, Juzhang, Zhangan, Tiantai, Xianju, and Yongkang can develop poultry or livestock breeding, but if they want to use it to develop agriculture, they will probably suffer a lot. Drought will definitely fail.

The key is that in many places there are more mountains than flat lands, and if you want to develop, you must develop terraced fields!People in Zhejiang and Fujian were forced to do business and go to sea to earn a living. This is largely how they were forced out!

Wushang is quite special. It is close to the confluence of Gushui River and Zhejiang River. There are already plans to divert water there, as is the Xianju side.

"Speaking of which, how much production has increased in Yuyao this year! In addition, I am using a voluntary promotion model. How many people are willing to join?" Li Ming looked at Zhang Mo.

"Forty percent! Compared with the previous average yield, it has increased by forty percent. I am confident that it will only increase in the future and will not decrease! In addition, I plan to improve the farm tools. If some farm tools can be improved, the efficiency can be further improved, but..." Zhang Mo said slowly, he knew exactly what he was talking about.

"You mean, on the basis of the average output, it has increased by [-]%?" Xun Biao was the first to be shocked. You must know that when Dahan's agricultural technology is at its peak, it can only increase by [-]%.

Yes, the agricultural technology has been deliberately slowed down, and the aristocratic families directly use grain as hard currency, so the price of grain must not be too high or too low.Three stones per acre, this is the result of negotiation between all parties.

It's not that Dahan doesn't have all kinds of advanced agricultural technology and farm tools, but even if they are all put into use, they can only increase the output by [-]%. It is because the increase is too little that most of the aristocratic families choose to compromise.Forty percent, even the Xun family can't ignore it!
One mu increased by [-]%, but how many hectares of land does the Xun family have?If all of them are increased by [-]%, how much food will they get!
"Upgraded again?" Li Ming looked at Zhang Mo, clicked on the subordinate panel, and saw that the farming skill had been upgraded to LV4. The skill description stated that he could not only cultivate various crops proficiently, but also improve farm tools appropriately.

"After improving the farm tools, will it help the production?" Li Ming asked.

"No way! But it can save manpower!" Zhang Mo shook his head, and then said with a smile, each mu of land only needs one strong man, or even two female relatives or old people.

Indeed, the less difficult it is to cultivate, the less labor is required.The extra labor force can be used for construction, working, serving as a soldier, going fishing, or even going out to do business. There are more or less ways to make a living.

The population of Kuaiji County is not large, and being able to squeeze out more soldiers will also be of great benefit to the subsequent struggle for world hegemony.

This is also what excites Li Ming the most, and he agrees to improve the farm tools without saying a word.Xun Biao did not deny this point. Reducing the labor force also has the advantage of reducing the labor force. As long as the yield per mu is not too excessive, it will be much easier to promote.

"Next year, I plan to promote new agricultural technology in the area from Zhuji County to Damo!" Li Ming stated his intention directly, "I have already found a few masters to help teach, and Cai Yan will be free next year. Time to go with you!"

"Thank you, my lord!" Zhang Mo rarely smiled.Career and love can't have both, but after being separated from Cai Yan for many days, it is inevitable that I miss him a little.He also knew that Cai Yan had complained for a long time, and it was naturally the best to be together.

Immediately, he frowned, and asked, "If the aristocratic family is unwilling to cooperate, what should I do? My subordinates advocate improved agricultural technology here in Yuyao, but there are not many responders. Only a few small aristocratic families are willing to cooperate, and their fields are not enough. Many! There are also many people watching from the common people..."

"Everything is voluntary, don't force it! The target of promotion is mainly ordinary people, and try to let those people who go south try to use new technology!" Li Ming knows the difficulty of promotion. After all, if it fails for a year, the harvest will suffer. , especially those refugees who have just moved south, this year's harvest will be related to the survival of their family.

"Yes!" Zhang Mo took the order, and Xun Biao was quite satisfied with Li Ming's arrangement.In this way, there will be at least two or three years of buffering time, and under the subtle influence, those aristocratic families will not be able to object at that time.

　The Han Dynasty promoted large acres, and one mu of land is about 1 square meters in modern times.The output per mu is 460 shi, which is 3 jin for later generations.Converted into a modern mu, the output is about 257 catties, which is about 400 kilograms.After the development of Hyundai in 200, the average yield per mu is 2000 kilograms, directly doubling the yield.

　　At the same time, later generations adopted multi-season planting techniques, and even greenhouse planting techniques in winter. The Han Dynasty only adopted single-season planting techniques, and the yield must not be comparable to that of later generations.

　　By the way, 1 large mu = 2.4 small mu, so it is not unreasonable to insist that the output of 1 mu is 1 stone.
