The days when I pretended to be a cat in the Forbidden City[Comprehensive]

"The village must build two pits to separate the excrement and urine. The household waste is handed over to the village. If there is any violation, it will be punished for three days."

"The village chief, Lizheng, must come up with a feasible and fair method to use manure,"

"There needs to be an obvious guardrail around the pit, and I don't want to hear that someone has an accident because of it."

Xia Anran stepped between the ridges of the field with the indescribable expressions of the people around her, her expression was indifferent: "If you wait and fatten seriously, in the coming year, the land will not need to be rotated."

The effect of farmyard manure on the soil is not only to accelerate the growth of plants.Compared with chemical fertilizers that work in different growth stages of plants, the object of farm manure service is not so much the crops, but the land itself.

Paddy fields are irrigated for a long time, and for the land, the water is actually equal to the continuous pressure on the top of the soil layer, which will make the soil below the surface very easy to compact.Even though the surface layer of the paddy field appears to be muddy and soft at first glance, as long as you put your hands into it, you can know how hard the lower layer of the paddy field soil is, which is a weight that even adults cannot easily smash.

Let's not discuss whether such an environment is suitable for the growth of rice itself, but it is certain that this anoxic environment is not suitable for the survival of microorganisms.

Microbes are the source of an entire ecological chain, so it can also be said that the ecology of rice fields is more fragile than ordinary fields.

Adding base fertilizer downwards when the field is free is not to give food to plants, but to feed microorganisms with farmyard manure.After the farmyard manure is buried under the soil, during its decomposition process, it becomes the ration and breeding bed of the microorganisms in the ground, and at the same time decomposes the organic matter to loosen the soil.

After adding water, these microorganisms will feed mayflies and plants, which in turn can attract animals that feed on them, thus forming a complete ecology.

In the era without chemical fertilizers and pesticides, this ecological circle is particularly important for the grain production of rice fields.

In fact, Xia Anran thought that after the message about composting was released, the farmers would voluntarily implement it. After all, in his heart, the farmers of later generations were extremely concerned about fertilizer, even more concerned about it than useful tools.But I didn't expect that the public has scruples about this matter, and there are some petty thoughts that are not cute.

Zhongshan is already a relatively affluent area.But it may also be because the output of Zhongshan’s own farmland is already enough to surpass most of the agricultural production areas, so people think that even if fertilizer is applied, the increase in production will be the same, so they don’t care about it.

Xia Anran, who was inspecting the field, saw the county magistrate's eyes widened because of the news that "after using the fertilizer, there is no need for shift shifts", and he immediately took his leave. After leaving his sight, he yelled along the way to make the villagers work. , bent the corners of his mouth.

When Zhidu got the decree sent by Xia Anran to file for the record, he felt that the sentence was too low.

If there is such an act of blatantly disobeying the order of the vassal king, at least ten days of service will be issued.

The so-called "three days of servitude" refers to the three days that the craftsman punishes him as a free servant. These three days are not included in the scope of ordinary servitude, which means that it is purely punishment, not personal obligation.

It is the kind that does not pay wages and has to provide its own rations.

When this decree was finally issued to urban and rural areas, it went through a certain level of refinement, and many rules and sentencing rules were added.

In particular, those who waste or hide raw materials, or who do not report knowingly that the other party wastes or hides them, will be punished with the same crime.

This set is fine for the villagers, but everyone in the city is numb.

But fortunately, they soon learned that the night incense collectors in the city and the city people said that they would be responsible for the collection and transportation at that time, and everything would be fine as usual.

Of course, all of this is still a paid service.

In short, this decree that always makes people feel a little bit has swept across the entire Zhongshan country. The land is hard in the spring, but there are carrots hanging in front of it that "do not need to be changed", and all the county officials in Zhongshan are full of it. positivity.

The construction of large and small cesspit became the first project of Zhongshan State in 153 BC. According to the situation of each village, the only requirement of the state is: the depth of the pit should not exceed three feet.

As the saying goes, it only takes more than 20 days for a Taoist to form a habit. Xia Anran has witnessed the whole process of these people forming this habit, and personally identified this rule.

This happened not because he really paid so much attention to this matter, but because so far he has not received permission from Chang'an to leave the fief, so he can only stay here.

It takes about [-] days for the fast horses from Zhongshan to travel to Chang'an. Of course, those who are not urgently dispatched will be slower, but they will not be slow to send letters to the princes and kings. One month is enough to go back and forth.

Originally, several small vassal kings were dispatched according to the time, but now they have all moved to places where they can go abroad directly.They originally planned to leave the country directly after getting the permission, but now it is very embarrassing to be stuck by the order.

The princes felt baffled, and the brothers exchanged messages, but found that no one had received the notice of permission to go abroad.It was originally a daily report, but now it has been clouded by the delay in receiving a reply.

Something must have happened in Chang'an, the princes realized it almost at the same time.

Xia Anran tilted her head and thought about it for a moment, tried to dig out some relevant impressions from her mind, and finally came to the conclusion that the emperor should be canonized as the crown prince.

Presumably because of the sudden canonization of the crown prince, Emperor Jing's move was unexpected, but just in case, all these princes and kings were blocked from the imperial capital.

After all, princes and kings can bring guard troops when they enter Beijing. There are not many individual princes, but the number of several princes combined is also considerable.These are purely military establishments, not including servants and servants. If these are added, the numbers are not small.

In short, it is indeed a sensitive and dangerous situation for princes and kings to enter Beijing, even if their troops must stop in the suburbs of Chang'an.In order to save trouble, it is also wise for Emperor Jing to use the dragging formula.

And if what he expected was right, not only would Emperor Jing use the dragging formula, but he would simply skip this visit.

After he figured this out, Xia Anran immediately started to reclassify the goods, and dispatched an officer to send the porcelain, paper, and candles that were originally going to be sent to Chang'an City for advertising to his brothers' fief first—— It's all packed, so don't waste it, they are all my brothers, so I have to give my brothers a chance to sponsor my younger brother's business.

There were also several letters written by him.

At this time, although the Han Dynasty had not officially started the road of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce, thanks to the blessing of the Qin Dynasty, the tax burden of merchants was indeed heavier than that of farmers.

Of course, Xia Anran does not need to pay taxes when doing business in his own country. Even if he pays, he will take it out of the bag with his left hand and put it in the bag of his right hand. Same.

Not to mention that there are entry fees in various places, and the tax prices vary. It all depends on the conscience of the princes and kings. Basically, every princely country will set a commodity tax.

Xia Anran is going to ask for a family price.

He is the youngest younger brother among the current kings, and he knows that the older brother will definitely sue him after reading his letter, but he will give him some discounts because of face.

Of course, the cheapness is not in vain, and he will definitely make money back by buying local specialties to stimulate the economy.There is a future when there is coming and going.

If the conditions are ripe, Xia Anran wants to establish an existence similar to the business network in North China.

The geographical position of Zhongshan State is extremely superior, running through its north, south, east and west.During the Eastern Han Dynasty, when Liu Bei passed through Zhongshan, he marveled at the abundant business atmosphere here, which was based on its good geographical and logistics conditions.

Zhongshan itself was in the main traffic network of the Western Han Dynasty, and it was the only way for transportation from south to north.If you want to transport materials to the north, from the east of Taihang Mountain, unless you take a trail, you can only pass through Zhongshan Country.

This avenue from Chang'an City to the west of Liaoning has become the main artery that continuously supplies blood to Zhongshan.

It would be too wasteful not to do business in such an environment. He can definitely develop Zhongshan into the largest trade distribution center and tourist resort center in North China.

Of course, he couldn't do this alone, so he had to bring his brothers along.

Liu Xiaoche is cheating, we can't play with him, it's better to make money and increase GDP than trying to make trouble.

After the soldiers and envoys relieved the burden of storing a large amount of goods, Xia Anran led the people back to Lunu. The small county where they were before was not enough to afford the expenses of a large visiting team.

The business environment at this time is extremely fragile, especially in an environment where food and money are equivalent. Even if they use money to buy food, it may cause local inflation.

Therefore, after arriving here, all the grain and rice they used were mobilized from Lunu, and the consumption of supplies was inevitable every time they came back.

And if they don't leave, the whole team will eat and drink with public funds. It can be said that they burn money every day. After returning to Lunu, everyone can go back to their respective homes, which can save unnecessary expenses.

Carefully calculating the consumption of returning without success this time, Xia Anran's heart was broken, and her chest was tight for quite a while.

Facts have proved that his actions are completely correct.

The order from Chang'an City did not arrive in Zhongshan until more than half a month later, when the spring plowing was almost over.

When Liu Qi made Liu Rong the crown prince, he also issued an incomprehensible edict.

The Han Dynasty re-sealed the customs.

This is an extremely subtle order with a profound meaning.

Since Gaozu, in order to encourage people to flow naturally for recuperation, and to increase the growth of part of the wasteland, the gates of the Han Dynasty have implemented an open system.That is to say, after the time is up and the door is opened, people can come in and out on their own without showing their identity certificates.

Of course, if you enter the city, you still have to show your ID according to the regulations.

But now that the customs is closed, it means that people who travel will need to show their household registration certificates just like entering the city, and at the same time need to tell themselves why they are here.

Such a move is undoubtedly not conducive to the daily life of the people. The first thing that will be affected is the caravan. Their travel time will be greatly slowed down. A day wasted on the road will cost a day's cost.

But Xia Anran is very clear that this move is not aimed at businessmen.

The targets should be the vassal kings, as well as foreigners such as the Huns.

During the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion before, the Huns deliberately took this opportunity to go south, and they also took the little hands of the vassal king. However, because the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion was quelled too quickly, the Huns did not have time to dispatch. On the contrary, they exposed their minions and intention.

This incident made Emperor Jing very angry.

But last year everything was turbulent, and Emperor Jing cut off his own arm. Since he didn't dare to make any big moves, he could only bear with it. It wasn't until this year that the government's government slowed down a bit, and then broke out together.

But these have nothing to do with Xia Anran.

Because his father told him clearly: autumn is not used anymore.

Not needing him to visit Beijing for a whole year is certainly not the intention of his father to alienate him, there is no need to hold small meetings, this can be seen from the fact that he sent Xia Anran a new task.

Emperor Jing gave his son a very, very difficult task.

The little princes who were still in the palace were all sent out of Chang'an except the crown prince Liu Rong. Xia Anran's brother Liu Pengzu was assigned to the country of Zhao slightly south of Zhongshan country and became the king of Zhao.

In this way, Zhao State, Zhongshan State, and Hejian State formed an isosceles triangle, and Zhao State was the pointed head.

The intention of this move is already very obvious, the emperor means that the strongest person is already in the palace, this unclear palace competition has come to an end, and the winner is the eldest son of the emperor, Liu Rong.

As for the other children, it is natural to send a few courtiers to send them away before they can react, so as not to stay in Chang'an City and cause waves.

This is true, but...

Xia Anran walked quickly to the gate of the city with a dull face, where he received his younger brother.

The King of Jiaodong, Liu Zhi, who broke the record of being the youngest king, was also brought along by Xia Anran's same mother and brother when he took office eastward.

The author has something to say:

Your Hanwu Express VER Douding version has arrived, please sign for it.

Xia Miao: Take the (future) emperor to order the princes.jpg

Brothers: Cub, you are no longer the youngest brother, you are already a mature brother, you must learn not to take advantage of your elder brother.

Farmyard manure works slowly on plants, but it can conserve the land. There is a subject in the Agricultural University that took ten or 20 years to measure the organic matter nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium of the land, about chemical fertilizer VS farmyard manure vs chemical fertilizer + farmyard manure.

In the end, the effect was the highest. In the case of annual cultivation, the organic matter content is higher than before no cultivation, so farmers now recommend that you use chemical fertilizers + farmyard manure together.

Chemical fertilizers are not bad, so don't be brainwashed by the concept of "organic food"!Chemical fertilizers are similar to the nutrient solution we usually eat, such as small VC tablets, and farm manure is the vegetables and fruits you usually eat.

The former doesn’t look very good, but it’s not a burden for the protagonist (vegetables), and you basically don’t need to spend your brain to absorb it. The latter is more complicated. It will make you fat, have diarrhea, feel unpalatable, and spend time washing and cutting fruits. , and even fruit allergies.

The truth is the same.

The ecological chain of the paddy field~ You will know it after going to the farmhouse.

The height of the soil and water in the paddy field is basically 3 cm. If there is heavy rainfall and the water is not released in time, it will be higher. Therefore, the soil in the paddy field will be very densely packed, which is actually not conducive to the growth of the root system.Therefore, when planting rice, water will be released at several nodes to allow the root system to breathe, and before the new year, it will be plowed as deeply as possible and exposed to the sun.

If anyone wants to ask... why didn't this happen before.Because there were no pesticides before.

The special product in the paddy field - rice field eel and loach is similar to the role of earthworms, which can help loosen the soil, but once the pesticide is sprayed, the number of small animals will decrease rapidly, and the result of ecological destruction will also affect the rice.

But also because new varieties of rice have been bred all the time, this is not too obvious until scientists come to a conclusion, so there are more and more ecologically farmed rice now.

(Probably there is also a reason why wild eels can be sold for a lot of money)

I seem to have said before that the country is lowering the price of staple food products (I guess?) Although there will be subsidies and various policies for farmers, the benefits are not very big, so the witty farmer uncle now raises various derivatives in the paddy fields. The product is actually reshaping the ecology of paddy fields.

By the way, is there any baby who is curious, since this is the case, why not just grow rice...

That's because the cost of changing rice fields to dry land is huge, and it's against the law... ==

I have heard that it seems that you need to approve and confirm that your soil is really not fertile before you can change it, and this is tantamount to the degradation of the land. Anyway, it is generally treated as much as possible.

Now the paddy field is basically farm manure + chemical fertilizer at key time points, farm manure nourishes the soil, and chemical fertilizer is assisted. If it is used properly and there are no natural disasters, the paddy field soil will generally not degrade and will become more and more fat.

(The situation in the text is different from the modern situation!)

Moreover, the current chemical fertilizers will be controlled as much as possible so as not to harm the ecology of the rice fields.

A large group of people have been working hard in places we don't know~
