Fengxian Jiangshan

Take the current Fengtian as an example, the yield of sorghum per acre of good land is only about one hundred catties. If rice is planted, the yield may be higher, but it is only two to three hundred catties, which is one-sixth of that of later generations. One, under such circumstances, the vast majority of ordinary people are struggling with life and death all their lives.

Once there is a disaster, it is very common for people to starve to death. At this time, people will definitely support chemical fertilizers crazily, but if they are healthy or not, the most important thing is to fill their stomachs first.

"After the soil is ready, spread it evenly in the seedbed, then flatten it and compact it, and make sure to water it thoroughly. We also made a seedling tray with reeds, filled it with a thin layer of soil, and put the seedling tray on the seedbed. First, spread the germinated seeds evenly on the seedling tray. Then it is time to control the temperature and water. At the beginning of watering, a layer of straw bags should be attached to prevent the water from washing away the soil!"

Listening to the old farmer's little introduction, Zhang Xueliang and his group's heads are a bit big. Farming is not as easy as imagined. This is just the process of raising seedlings. After the seedlings grow well, they have to plant them and take care of them all the way. It is not until the autumn harvest that the grain can be brought home. I am afraid that even the farmers themselves do not know how much sweat is involved.

The old farmer had almost finished his introduction, and then smiled at Zhang Tinglan and said, "Young Master Zhang, these rice seedlings are growing quite well, and our paddy fields are also ready. If we can really have a bumper harvest this year, we old guys are also thinking about the next year." Try it at home and see how it goes!"

The old farmer was still a little hesitant. After all, planting rice is also a highly technical labor, so he is stealing a lesson.Zhang Tinglan said with a nonchalant smile: "Not only do you want to grow it in your home, but also spread it on a wider scale. The yield of rice per mu is at least half or even double that of sorghum. That is to say, the same land can feed twice as many people. Population, this kind of good thing naturally needs to be learned by more people!"

Chapter 199 Dragon and Tiger Gathering

If you want to grow rice on a large scale, you must have sufficient water conservancy facilities. Although there is no shortage of water in the Northeast, you must have deep water wells for diversion canals.But so far, the basic drinking water for many people has not been solved. Many people drink brackish water and have no money to dig wells.

So in the last two or three years, rice is destined to be only experimental planting. When the first batch of farms are established, the water conservancy facilities will be almost built, the common people will have money at hand, and there will be organizations in the countryside, so that the government With proper guidance, the time is ripe for large-scale promotion of rice.

But apart from rice, Zhang Tinglan is ready to promote another crop as soon as possible, that is corn, commonly known as corn cobs in Northeast China.The yield of corn is higher than that of sorghum, and it is more suitable for the agricultural conditions in the Northeast. The three major black soil belts in later generations are all important corn producing areas, and there are fewer corn diseases and insect pests, and the management is easier.

As early as when the victims in Liaoyang were resettled, Zhang Tinglan had arranged for someone to purchase high-quality corn seeds. According to this year's climate, it was almost time for planting, and according to Zhang Tinglan's suggestion, the method of accelerating germination should also be adopted. Just let the corn germinate.

Don't underestimate this treatment, the corn seedlings can grow out at the fastest speed. In autumn, the cobs will be more mature, which can increase a lot of yield. According to Zhang Tinglan's estimation, the yield of corn per mu should be 180 jin Between two hundred catties, it is almost one-tenth of that of later generations.

For this kind of production, Zhang Tinglan has no good way. To increase production, the only feasible way is to use a large amount of chemical fertilizers. Only when nutrients are supplied can enough food be produced.This is an iron law of biology and has nothing to do with anything else.

"Don't just look at it for fun. I will go to the ground to plant rice seedlings in two days. I have circled hundreds of acres of land, and I need a lot of people. None of you want to run away!"

As soon as Zhang Tinglan said these words, the gang of dandies not only didn't feel embarrassed, but were eager to try. They obviously didn't know the hard work of farming, so they planted rice seedlings in a day.It is estimated that the waist will be broken.Of course, Zhang Tinglan didn't need to point it out, he was happy that these young masters felt the hard work of the farm family.

There are dozens of greenhouses in a row here, and it seems a bit wasteful just to raise rice seedlings.There are several greenhouses in the back that are specially planted with various vegetables and cabbages.green pepper.Eggplant, cucumber, beans and the like.

Zhang Xueliang's eyes were sharp, and from a long distance, he saw a large number of colorful houses in these greenhouses, and rushed over in a hurry.The other people were not far behind, and they all ran inside. Seeing these growing vegetables, they couldn't help showing ecstasy.In fact, I don't blame these young masters for being nervous. It's just that there are too few vegetables to eat in winter.

In addition to the famous sauerkraut, there are radishes, cabbage, potatoes and the like, and at most mung bean sprouts and soybean sprouts.Don't look at Zhang Xueliang and the others who bear the title of young marshal, and they are not much better than ordinary people in winter. They have endured a hard winter, and now they have just started planting, and it will be a long time before they can eat fresh vegetables.

So when he saw these vegetables, his eyes glowed green, Zhang Xueliang unceremoniously grabbed a palm-length cucumber, and immediately started to eat it!

The other people were not too polite, and they all started together, picking up a lot of cucumbers and tomatoes.

"Brother Zhuoyan, you don't know. My father eats bean sprouts every day. Looking at it now, I almost vomit!" Zhang Xueming complained loudly from the side: "You told us earlier, why bother to suffer at home!"

"It's useless to tell you earlier, it hasn't blossomed yet, can you still be like rabbits, just eat seedlings, wait until this winter, everything will be fine, I will build some greenhouses, even in winter, we can eat Serve fresh vegetables."

In fact, Zhang Tinglan is also very emotional. In later generations, even ordinary people will not lack vegetables in winter, but at this time, they can be counted as the rich and powerful, and they have to endure it in winter.In fact, Zhang Tinglan has long planned to build a greenhouse. At least a few years ago, she was too busy to spare any time. She didn't think about using the greenhouse to grow some vegetables until she wanted to grow rice to satisfy her appetite.

These young masters saw the good things and were absolutely unwilling to leave. Zhang Tinglan also had to entertain them. In addition to these vegetables, he also prepared open river fish. At this time, the surface of the river began to freeze one after another. All the fish of the month came out.After a whole winter, the fat in the body of these fish is exhausted, and all kinds of impurities are also emptied, so the meat is extremely delicious, neither fat nor rotten, and the meat quality can be called ice crystal jade, which is a rare delicacy.

Zhang Tinglan specially hired a few highly skilled cooks, and through their cooking, the deliciousness of Kaijiang fish was brought out.In addition, Zhang Tingshu ran to the back and brought in two native dogs. As the saying goes, the gods can't stand still if the dog meat rolls three times. Since you have dogs, you can't escape their destruction.

After a lot of work by the chef, a table was full of dishes, not only them, but also the old farmers who were working. The whole manor was open to eat, and there was constant laughter and laughter, which was even more lively than the New Year.

If you have good food, you must have good wine. Although Zhang Tinglan doesn't have any famous wine here, there are also a lot of self-brewed fruit wines, all of which are brewed according to the local methods of the mountain people, with a mellow taste.

Take wine as an example, it is made of mountain grapes, matched with wild honey, without any pollution, and it is almost like a drink when you drink it in your mouth, so the big guys are not polite, drinking bowl after bowl, compared to those so-called The famous wine here has a special taste.

Only then did Zhang Xueliang and the others understand that it would be a good thing if they dared to own such a manor, where they could eat, drink, have fun, and do anything.Although these fruit wines didn't taste like much, they were full of stamina, and they gradually became drunk.

Even Zhang Tinglan's eyes were a little squinted, and his mood was unprecedentedly relaxed.Of course, the good days of these young masters are not long. After intensive preparations, Fengtian Lecture Hall finally resumed classes.

In the former Qing Dynasty, under the auspices of Xu Shichang, the governor of the three eastern provinces, the Fengtian Lecture Hall had already been opened, and it had been held for three sessions.Sun Liechen and Zhang Zuoxiang all studied there, but they stopped later.

After Lao Zhang took control of Fengtian, he accepted Yang Yuting's suggestion that the army should be regularized, the army should be reorganized, and the army should be trained with a new concept.In fact, it is not easy for a person to completely change his mind. Fortunately, Lao Zhang is a person who is always admonishing and has a relatively new mind.

Especially during the counter-insurgency in southern Liaoning and the battle against Feng Delin, Lao Zhang had completely seen the shortcomings of the old-style army, so the Feng army had to be rectified, and there was a complete change of blood from officers to soldiers.

Therefore, the establishment of the military academy has become the most urgent task. All the affairs of the military academy are checked by Lao Zhang himself. A large space has been reserved for future expansion.

From the size of the school building alone, we can see the degree of concern of Lao Zhang. In addition, Lao Zhang also decided to serve as the principal himself. In other words, let him help design the school building and solve the various difficulties of the students.

Although the affairs are cumbersome, Zhang Tinglan is also happy to take over. These military school students will be the disciples of the emperor in the future, the backbone of the army. Now that they have received Zhang Tinglan's favor, they will naturally work for Zhang Tinglan in the future. This is a good opportunity to cultivate contacts , Zhang Tinglan will never let it go.

Of course, with the establishment of the lecture hall, two key figures also came into view, one is Guo Songling and the other is Xiqia.

Guo Songling studied in Fengtian Army Primary School in his early years and had excellent grades. However, he was almost decapitated because of his involvement in the Revolutionary Party. Later, he was admitted to Army University. After graduation, he taught in Beijing Lecture Hall.

Originally, Guo Songling intended to go to the south to join Sun Wen, but I heard that since Lao Zhang took the helm, Fengtian has undergone rapid changes, Fengjun is also flourishing, and Lao Zhang had conflicts with the Japanese several times, and the resolution was perfect. Guo Songling was determined to join Zhang Zuolin, and it happened that the martial arts hall was opened, so he also came.

The other person is Aixinjueluo Xiqia, who graduated from the cavalry department of the Japanese Military Academy. In this era, non-commissioned officers are a gold-lettered signboard, and wherever they are placed, they are all contended for.Of course, there are also people who do not hesitate to fake their identities. They are obviously graduates of Zhenwu School, but they want to pretend to be cadets and ask their subordinates to help them lie.

Xiqia, a non-commissioned officer student, is genuine. Before that, he served as the chief of staff of the Fengjun Army, and he was very capable of handling affairs.However, because he is a Manchu, everyone in the Fengjun was somewhat suspicious, especially Lao Zhang who almost uprooted the Zongsha Party, and he was a deadly enemy with the nobles of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and he dared not reuse Xiqia.

However, Xiqia is a very strange person. He has no complaints about this, nor does he think about taking refuge in others. He is still working hard in Fengtian.Out of the consideration of cherishing talents, after careful consideration, Lao Zhang appointed Xiqia as the deputy dean of education of the martial arts hall and Yang Yuting's assistant.

Whether it is Xiqia or Guo Songling, Zhang Tinglan is afraid from the bottom of her heart. Guo Songling's rebellion against Feng has seriously damaged the vitality of Fengjun, and Xiqia is a full-fledged hardcore traitor.However, both of them are rare talents. Zhang Tinglan thought about it, and felt that for the time being, he should use their talents first. If he dared to make small moves, he was sure enough to take them down, otherwise he would lose the face of the traverser.

Now that the actors are finally on stage, the big show is about to start, and the lecture hall has finally officially started. Apart from Zhang Xueliang, Zhang Tinglan and other second-generation children in Fengjun, many middle and lower-level officers have also been recruited, including Ma Zhanshan. , Zhang Henian and others can be said to be the gathering of dragons and tigers, and the great era of the Feng family has also begun.

Chapter 200 In the Sky

This period of Zhang Tinglan and the others can be regarded as the fourth period of students in the martial arts hall, and at the same time, it is also the first period after Zhang Zuolin took control of Fengtian, and it happened to catch up with the implementation of regularization construction. It is conceivable that this group of students will be the pillars of Fengtian in the future Talent, as long as you graduate, you will definitely go all the way up.

And the more important thing is that the young marshal Zhang Xueliang is also in this issue, and what is more noticeable is that Zhang Tinglan is also in it. This person is now holding the title of Brigadier Commander. He also wants to come to study. In fact, he is also a demonstration for others. In the future, if Fengjun wants to be promoted, he must have studied in the military academy, and those wild ways in the past are no longer feasible.

On the day when the school officially started, all the students were dressed neatly. There were already 74 students in the first period, most of whom were in their 30s and [-]s. When they were in their prime, they looked even more heroic and energetic after wearing well-tailored military uniforms. vigorous.

Looking at these students, Lao Zhang also nodded in satisfaction. Feng Jun's future and his ambitions also fell on these students.Not only Zhang Zuolin, but other high-level officials in Fengjun were also very moved, especially among these people were their own younger generations, confidants and beloved generals, and they all had ardent hopes.

"Everyone, today is the official opening day of the lecture hall. I would like to talk about why the lecture hall is established. The reason is very simple, that is to cultivate military talents. The current situation in Fengtian and even the entire three eastern provinces can be said to be internal and external troubles. The wind and rain are precarious, the country is in peril, the nation is in decline, sovereignty is lost, and the people's livelihood is dying. At such times, soldiers must stand up and serve the country and defend the people! Even if they are shrouded in horse leather and died in battle, they must have no complaints and no regrets. A righteous soldier, an upright man! The future of Fengtian rests on your shoulders, and it is a heavy burden. Can you pick it up?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Everyone couldn't help raising their arms and shouting, almost exerting all their strength, their faces flushed red, and they wanted to burst their throats.The blood of these young students is still rushing, it is the time when they are eager to make contributions, and after hearing these very inspiring words, all blood is boiling.The scene was very lively.

Seeing this, Lao Zhang was also very satisfied. The trainees this time were all carefully selected, and some of them were outstanding young officers who emerged from the Fengjun recently, such as Ma Zhanshan and others.

The second part is the aspiring young people recruited from Fengtian.Since last year, Lao Zhang has abundant funds on hand.Just follow Zhang Tinglan's suggestion.Constantly improving the treatment of soldiers, not only is the military salary not in arrears at all, but they can also receive many other benefits.

The common people are actually the smartest and most realistic group of people. In the past, soldiers had no status and no one was willing to participate.Soldiers are now paid more.Even the family can follow the income, but the soldier can no longer be regarded as the eighth uncle Qiu.

And this time, the military academy is recruiting students, as long as they pass the exam, they can become officers of the Fengjun.The future is bright, and everyone is rushing to this exam.Since recruiting students requires not only physical fitness, but also a high level of education, it has attracted a large number of young students.

After strict selection, he successfully entered the lecture hall.As for the rest are the second-generation children like Zhang Xueliang. Although most of them are more dandy, they are all familiar with it, and even went to the battlefield in person.It can be said unceremoniously that these young people are the best young people in Fengtian, and each of them is a seed. When these seeds grow into pillars, that is when Fengjun becomes strong.

After Lao Zhang finished his speech, Yang Yuting, the dean of education, also spoke: "Students, from the moment you step into the gate of the martial arts hall, all of you are not special, and you must be treated equally and work hard together. In the next one During the year, I will treat you with the strictest requirements. There are two main parts of your study, one is subject, that is, how to fight wars, and the other is art, that is, daily actual combat training. In other words, in In the next year, you must turn yourself into a qualified soldier and an excellent commander, and then we will divide the disciplines!"

Following the example of Japanese non-commissioned officer schools, Jiangwutang established five disciplines, namely Artillery Division, Cavalry Division, Infantry Division, Engineer Division, and Transportation Division.By custom, artillery and cavalry are the two best disciplines.

Both Zhang Xueliang and Zhang Tingshu were assigned to the Artillery Division, Wu Kaijie and Ma Zhanshan were assigned to the Cavalry Division, Zhang Henian was assigned to the Infantry Division, and the other students were assigned to each other.

Zhang Tinglan is quite special, he is not only a student, but also the general manager of the martial arts hall.Even Lao Zhang would not let him stay in school for a year without asking about worldly affairs, and would always consult him about affairs and deal with various situations, so Zhang Tinglan chose the relatively easy engineering department.
