Is this a godsend?

Not to mention the foxtail-like millet, pumping so many seeds does not mean that so many millets can be milled, because many of them are shriveled, not to mention the quality, it is a bag of tears.

Moreover, the consumption of water and fertilizer is simply distasteful. It is no wonder that Jiangnan can use such a method. The amount of water, temperature, and light in the north is simply fatal, and it is also a black hole for new labor.

However, if all conditions are met, the average yield per planting is 1, that is, there is no problem with a single-season yield of 150-400 jin per mu. Every link is stuck on the key point of the standard answer method.

Otherwise, the ancient farmers planted rice, and the yield per mu was considered high, generally about 100 kilograms. If the development in the south is completed, under the condition of double cropping in a year, the annual yield can be about [-] catties per mu (the level of development in the Ming Dynasty). It is still a high-yield Champa rice that has been bred for thousands of years.

And Zishou has to face a new problem, that is, this time it is considered a high yield, and the next time the yield will be reduced by at least 40%, and the next time it will be considered a dead harvest by the standard of the Shang Dynasty. For no reason, it is just a water and fertilizer harvester.

"Your Majesty, I am overjoyed!"

"Why is there such a joy?" Zishou was at a loss. This is a dead crop. The sparse ears of rice, the dry rice, and this mysterious crop as tall as dog's tail grass, where did the joy come from! ?

"Your Majesty, the statistics have come out. Wang Tian received 15 Dou at the top and 12 Dou at the bottom. What a bumper harvest!"

"Ah?" Zishou looked at Zhong, you call this a good harvest?It is indeed called a bumper harvest. In the Shang Dynasty, any crop species with a harvest of 1 was called a bumper harvest, and it was still a big bumper harvest.

Due to the large grain size of rice, a bucket of rice does not have the same weight as other grains. Buckets and stones are units of volume, not weight. Therefore, a bucket of millet with small and dense grains weighs quite a lot, while wheat is light , Therefore, when referring to units such as buckets in ancient times, we should pay attention to what was the staple food at that time.

A bucket of rice is equivalent to 12 catties in modern times, but in the Shang Dynasty, it was about 20 catties, which was equivalent to the catty at that time. It was converted into a modern unit of weight and measure. After collecting 180 catties, they called it a big harvest, and their faces turned green immediately.

And the fields that were fooled by the serfs were even easier to manage. The average yield per mu was about 110 catties, which was considered a bumper harvest at the time. So what is a normal harvest?Of course, a season of 75 to 90 catties is the normal harvest. Thinking about it, you are desperate, right?

Busy for half a year, and then harvest 90 catties of grain per mu of land. With the level of farm tools at this time, the savage farmers of a family of five worked hard in the fields, and at most they could get less than 70 mu of land. Life and land are not needed, only 5000 catties of grain.

In fact, because of the relationship between crop rotation and vegetable planting, in fact, about 30 mu of grain is planted, 30 mu of beans is planted in rotation, and 10 mu of vegetables, radishes and miscellaneous grains are planted.

In other words, at this time, a family of five people can only carry up to 2000 catties of grain and 3000 catties of beans throughout the year, plus some root crops such as radishes and turnips. The output of these things is relatively high at this time. High, if you have 10 mu of land, you can probably grow more than a thousand catties.

In other words, in the absence of any corvee, taxation, public land labor, etc., an extremely wealthy rich peasant family with 100 mu (commercial mu is converted to 70 mu now) usually has to eat a mixture of grain and beans.

If some decent grains are used as sacrifices and tributes, and a few hundred catties of planted grains are left behind, then the grains in the beans will be eaten poorly. This is still the biggest harvest of good weather. Or the fertility is not enough to reach the level of this big harvest.

Then, only beans are eaten, and beans can’t be eaten purely, but bean leaves, miscellaneous grains, and wild vegetables have to be boiled into a paste.

Therefore, if you eat pure wheat biscuits or bread every day, you still go to the store to buy them, you can also eat rabbit meat every now and then, vegetables include radishes, green vegetables, etc., and occasionally you can have some fish and bird eggs, please call it the riches of the landlord——and It's still the prodigal son of the landlord's Laocai—only a prodigal son of Zishou's level dares to eat like this!

Therefore, when everyone found out that King Shang had created a field that could collect 180 catties of his mother's grain, almost all the nobles, warriors, Chinese, and even savage farmers came to watch the fun. A little bit of millet, which is very healthy, is very spicy to the eyes, but other people don't think so, they think it is delicious.

[PS]

Agriculturist's hair comes up to die:

Golden Harvest:

The King of Qin sent several envoys to the south to search for Jiahe, saying that there was a thing called Jiahe, which could produce twenty shi of grain, but in the end they found nothing; after that, Emperor Han also searched for Jiahe, but to no avail; Following Xing Bing's southern expedition, he harvested grain and planted it in the Forbidden Garden. Although it was not Jiahe, it was also a high yield.And because Zhancheng can be cultivated in three crops, prefectures and counties were set up to rule it.

Because Jiahe has been mentioned many times in ancient books, and archaeology has discovered various conjectures and mysteries about Jiahe by the ancients. The past dynasties have kept this secret. Some scholars believe that this kind of thing does not exist, and some scholars believe that it is some kind of mutated high-yielding species. But short-lived.

Later, in the old capital of the Han Dynasty, a document describing the whole story of Jiahe was found, which mentioned that there are three kinds of Jiahe, and the two are cultivated to obtain Baihe, and the Baihe is used to obtain Jiahe, which can produce as much as several thousand catties per mu.

Since then, modern research scholars have taken this as a clue to start looking for various rice seeds and trying to reproduce this ancient agricultural technology. After decades of effort, they finally successfully cloned ancient abortive rice seeds from the seeds found in the tombs of the Han Dynasty. Ancient crops reproduce Jiahe through hybridization and other means.

"I have a wonderful method to increase the yield per mu to three thousand catties. The details are as follows... Regarding the rest, the clay tablet here is too small to write on—Zi Shouliu"

King Qin who digs the grave: ......?

Liu Lao Si who dug the grave of the Qin Dynasty:......?

[PS3]

For one reason or another, in later generations, South Vietnam and other countries will disappear...Because the first thing in all dynasties is to lead a team to drive over to see if they can find the so-called Jiahe. Completely gone.

Chapter 82 Triple lock

The Royal Palace of Modu, drying and threshing the grains, with the help of the high temperature weather of this era, the sunning of the millet is okay, but the threshing and earing are a bit troublesome, please use the armor-piercing weapon, flail Tianzun!

Just kidding, but this thing is really a farming tool. Straw mats are spread on the ground. After threshing, they are dried directly on the straw mats, then rolled up, and poured into rice buckets.

After a complicated and troublesome process, Zishou finally ate the fruits of the first five-year agricultural plan in his own palace, a big bowl of white rice, which made those who heard it sad, and those who saw it shed tears.

However, the appearance of white rice is still very attractive. At first, the harem thought it was similar to wheat rice, and based on the simple theory that the higher the yield, the more unpalatable it was, they thought it might be the same as wheat rice. When I came out...

Because the rice is cooked according to the cooking method of wheat rice, it is really a bowl of white jade glue, soft and sweet, and the wheat grains are large and hard, and it is almost impossible to cook them softly. It is also clear and clear, strong laborers usually remove the dry, and the remaining clear soup with few grains of wheat is the food of others.

"Ji Tang, I'll give you a job. When the envoys from Chu land come, you will be responsible for teaching them how to grow these rice. They planted it too rough." Zishou suddenly thought of something, the soil in Chu land is acidic, and now those in the north Crops have all suffered in the past, which is why it took so long to develop the South in history.

Because if you plant in the laterite area according to the planting method in Guanzhong and the loess area, the yield will make you bald. If you don’t want to neutralize the acid and alkali, you will definitely die if you choose crops that are resistant to acid soil.And rice is precisely a crop that is more resistant to acid than barley and beans. Therefore, it is no problem for people in Chudi to use rice to feed more people to cultivate and solve problems such as water conservancy and silt.

"But, why does your majesty support the enemy?" Empress Jiang didn't quite understand. Isn't this kind of high-yield agriculture supposed to be done by the big merchants? You teach the barbarians. If the barbarians have food, then there will be more people, and they won't come to attack the merchants every day. border ah?

However, Zishou glanced at her with meaningful eyes, didn't speak, just told Ji Tang, walk around with other people if there is nothing to do, and the envoys from Yufang and Huaiyi, it is best to let them see the high-yield rice.

The technique of fertilization can also be handed over to them, but they can only teach the part related to rice, irrigation and drainage of paddy fields, and Ji Tang's records during Zi's experiment, let her choose the best one to teach.

This made Jiang Hou and others even more incomprehensible. Is the king completely crazy?Is he going to the south to be the king of Chu?

"Mr. Jiang, do you know that no one in the south has robbed us?" Everyone went to dig the mud, and some of them went to find mermaids for the king, and the rest were captured by Taiyi to open the fields. This is what King Shang did. For him, it was a timely gift, and tears must have filled his eyes, right?

"So, I have to make them fatter so that it is easier to grab them. If they have more rations, we can grab rations. If they have more people, we can grab slaves. They are still slaves who know how to plant paddy fields, not barbarians who don't know anything. Chu The land of Yue is the land of fish and rice for my great merchants, the granary of the world!"

There is another reason that Zishou didn’t mention, that is, the so-called Canglan is honest and knows etiquette, not only because you are full, you have time to think about other things, but also because of Canglan’s honesty, you have scruples, and you do things as much as possible. The truth is, the more pots and pans there are in the house, the less you dare to open them.

Therefore, for thousands of years, none of those who ruled the south of the Yangtze River finally succeeded. This is the reason. No one wants to fight to destroy the fertile fields of the family. Moreover, rice cultivation is a black hole of manpower. Although it can produce high yields, the lower limit of extensive farming is also very low.

It belongs to crops with outrageous upper and lower limits. Other crops such as millet, sorghum, barley, and millet belong to crops with similar upper and lower limits. Don’t expect high yields, but it is also difficult to plant without harvest. Really is not much different from nothing.

In this case, the reason for choosing these low-yielding crops as staple food is that they grow fast and have a high lower limit.In other words, if the farming season is delayed, and the merchants can lift it up with their waistbands, then the areas where rice is planted on a large scale can really be hanged directly.

"At that time, it's not that we are afraid that they will rob us, but that they are afraid that we will rob them, and we will really rob them and occupy their farmland." It's just a question of who is the barbarian on the north and south It becomes very blurry, but it doesn't matter, Zishou has already prepared Chu people's favorite lines: "I, barbarians!"

I believe that at that time, Taiyi might cry louder and more emotionally, right?

"In this way, if you don't have the money to fight the Chu Manzi, if you have the money to fight the Western Manzi, when you have no money, you can fight the Eastern Manzi, and when the weather turns cold, you can fight the Northern Manzi... Well, I thought about it, what should I do?" It can’t be like this, beat the Western barbarians in the spring, let them be dragged and beaten after the spring plowing, and then beat the Chu barbarians in the summer. They harvest rice earlier in the hot weather. When we come back from hunting, we harvest the wheat. Fat fat, the barbarians of Chedong in winter, they happened to go south for the winter, and they divided up the fish they had marinated for the winter."

In this way, there are vehicles available in all seasons, and the small-scale military training-type border friction with a short, flat and fast combat positioning is not easy for the four to unite, nor is it easy to play off and be dragged down by the main force to cause major incidents. Plus destroy the four-sided production sequence.

Zishou summed up the behavior of Shang kings in the past dynasties, and made a plan for modernization, industrialization, and assembly line planning. In this way, after five laps of the car, Shang's territory is not suitable for hard grabs, because the time to go back and forth will exceed the threshold. However, at this time, a group of new military upstarts just emerged to entrust these fertile lands.

There is no doubt that the king of Shang, who allocated the fat land to them, harvested the loyalty of these relatives and nobles. Next, the cattle and horses of the northern barbarians, the craftsmen of the western barbarians, the slaves of the eastern barbarians, the grain of the southern barbarians, and the repair of the new capital The matter in Los Angeles can be finalized.

Shang's territory is suitable for agricultural production and military development, but it is not suitable for defense. It is a typical undefensible place. Therefore, to maintain defense, Zishou must adopt the method of the former Shang king. Being pushed by a wave of people.

Of course, when the Hangu Pass is piled up, the Ximanzi don't have to worry about it, and they can just start pushing the Nanmanzi and give them a car to go to Jiangbei, and they can let go of it, and use the Yangtze River as a natural danger to rule by rowing the river.The northern barbarians are more complicated, they must be pushed to Youyun, but Zishou has no plans to do so now, and wait for the weather to completely cool down before meeting them locally, using the Taihang Mountains as a western barrier.

At that time, if he wants to build a wall, he will have to ask the northern barbarians to contribute. Of course, it is not the real Great Wall, but just a small group of fortresses similar to the wall. The plan comes from the northern dock structure during the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

Choose a place with suitable mountains and rivers to build, and be self-sufficient, thus creating a group of semi-professional troops similar to Fubing, instead of the current aristocratic soldiers. In a sense, it can be regarded as an improvement in the military system.

And such a legion can fight for a long time, instead of noble soldiers who have to complain if they are recruited too many times a year.

At that time, we will work in spring and summer, fight in autumn and winter, fight for half a year a year, and take turns with colleagues in the south every 5 to 10 years, so that everyone can enjoy the warm climate in the south and the ice and snow in the north. So the soldiers were trained.

At the beginning, many people must have died of disobedience. However, for this army, Zishou decided to select talents from wildlings and slaves. The historical god Xin's method is to promote slave soldiers.

However, the slave soldiers still make the warrior class feel very uncomfortable, and they cannot grant them land. Therefore, it is no problem for these Wubao manors directly under the nominal Shang king to farm for the army composed of these lower classes.

After all, there are piles of slaves in Wangtian. Isn't this kind of thing a matter of course?As for letting the slaves fight, it is a bit of a challenge. However, the King of Shang has no plan to continue to form a chariot army.

Because it doesn’t matter whether you are fighting in Chudi or in the west, cavalry is easier to solve, and it is not difficult to invent stirrups and saddles. It’s just that the reinforcement for him is not high, and the reinforcement for the barbarians is too strong. up.

After all, without taking down the Youyun Barrier, he is now the same as the Song Dynasty back then, and it is simply a paradise for the enemy cavalry. Others don't need to collide with your main force, and burn your fields every day to make you unbearable.

Therefore, it can only be based on infantry, and it is not so easy to find fear when forming infantry, especially Zishou persuaded those noble relatives by using these legions as a cannon fodder barrier.

They are all human, and they don't want to die. The same goes for the nobles. They also think it's good to let the slaves spend some time. Zishou thinks that after a long time, the influence of these nobles in the army and the people of the country will decline. The slaves and savages at the bottom will also be grateful to the King of Shang if they have the opportunity to make military exploits.

At that time, the small-scale implementation of the army system of equalizing the land and the establishment of a direct-controlled Imperial Guard, then Zishou would not have to consider the opinions of the nobles in many matters.

Moreover, the attack on Xiqi and the south can also rely on this infantry, which is dominated by Wubao mountains, woodlands and waters. Some people are new nobles.

As long as the cake can continue to expand, the problem of profit distribution is still easy to solve. When the increase disappears and the stock starts to eat up, then the ever-expanding Imperial Guard will become a new nobleman and countryman, and it will be cleaned up. Former Chinese and stubborn old aristocrats.

Especially now in Zishou there are still a large number of real old and young left by the previous generation of Shang kings. Clean them up, let your current upstarts go up to become old nobles, and then let some of them be promoted to fill the positions of new nobles. Then the government will be completely stable.

As for setting up civil servants, changing the centralization of power, and going to sleep, the limit of the empire's rule is only three months away from the army, and this era is even more stringent. Where the army can't run for a month, the country can only be sealed off. up.

Enfeoffment is a suitable ruling system and mode of production in this era. Without a proper social environment and production capacity, further progress will lead to failure, and further thought will not be progress, but chaos, which will eventually disintegrate the foundation of rule and even cohesion.

To put it simply, Zishou can't dismiss all the nobles, nor can he get rid of his relatives, but they are indeed interfering with his administration and making troubles, but when the time comes, he can dismiss the disobedient nobles. up.

Especially Ji Chang's family, they are simply the biggest chickens they can kill for monkeys!

Tongguan, Guancheng finally took shape, and Ji Fa is indeed a ruthless person. He personally leads people to open up wasteland, burn forests, destroy those big rocks on the mountain that can be used by the enemy, and dig wells and ditches after the pass to divert water from the Yellow River. irrigation and drinking.

If this continues, it will become more difficult for Shang to enter in two or three years. However, Ji Fa's good mood did not last long.

"Your Majesty, I have found the news." The nobleman who was the scout bowed down. "I personally went to the east to investigate. There are indeed merchants, at least thousands of them. They are diverting water and carrying giant logs."

"Didn't alarm them?"

"No." It's not the time to start a war with Shang. A few days ago, it was reported that these merchants were active. Ji Fa thought that Shang had got the news, and was going to attack him while he was still on the ground. Chong Bohu's son and his hunting team were not left behind.

"Then what are they doing?" Ji Fa was curious. It's been so long since he got the news, but the businessman didn't respond at all?It seems that autumn is about to begin. In autumn, everyone has to harvest and store supplies for the winter. It is impossible to start a war. Are they planning to come back next year?But at that time, half of Guancheng had been repaired, and the terrain was enough for merchants to come and go.

"They established Guancheng outside Hangu."

"Ah?" Ji was taken aback for a moment, what are they doing?Xiuguan City, what is the use of repairing Guancheng, this is not blocking yourself...

"Not good!" Ji Fa's face suddenly changed. The reason why he didn't repair the pass city in Hangu is that Hangu is really the width of the valley road. Here is another trumpet mouth, and the Yellow River is behind it. You can't build the city with the water behind you, can you?It’s still a big river, if it floods you will be gone, and there are virgin forests along the coast.

However, Zishou's side is different. Except for a stream, it is a plain. The building materials are very lucky. A bridge can be built on the stream, and then it can be sent to repair the checkpoint. What's even more ridiculous is that the mud for burning bricks, thick mulberry plains All the wood from Xiuguan City, Taosailin is also all, built directly along Chousangyuan, the pass is on the left, the city is on the right, everything can be guarded.

But for Ji Fa, if he wants to attack business in the future... Thinking of the Hangu Road that is several meters wide, his head will explode. These days, it is full of virgin forests and large stones, not when it was in the Qin Dynasty. When you can climb up and play rope drop to seize the city.

And because of the fact that they are not in the west of Hangu, the opponent can go north and bypass Chousangyuan, bypass Guancheng and not fight, but Ji Fa can't go around because he can't climb Yaoshan if he goes around, so he can only walk in front of Guancheng. In other words-he has to march to the Hongnongjian ferry or bridge on the flat ground less than 50 meters wide in front of the enemy's pass city to go west?

As long as all the people in the city are not dead, all kinds of long-range props can make him reduce the number of people on the road, but it is not so troublesome to go around him from this side, and he can go around directly, without having to trek for several miles under the range looking for a ferry.

Even if we bypassed it, what about the Hongnong Bridge, crossing the bridge with the enemy's back facing Guancheng?When you are halfway through, when the city gate opens, the chariot rushes to the back, and all of them go into the water? [picture at the end]

"This..." Although Ji Fa didn't know well, there was nothing he could do. It felt as if he had just put a lock on the car to prevent the thief, but the thief came to take a look and put two locks on you with one click. Lock the mood.

The car will not be stolen, but he can't ride it away, and Ji Fa has also realized a terrible problem. If King Shang does this, then there may be more than one method, he will definitely use Bo Yap test.

You must know that the land behind Ji Fang is Qin, and the nobles who support Bo Yikao are all here. The reason why he personally led the team is not only to sit in Dongguan, but also to subdue these princes.

If at this time, Boyi Kao sends out some secret letter, especially if he sends someone to bypass Dahebei, then it will be his turn to be a sandwich biscuit. If you go east, you can't beat Hangu, and if you go west, you will be under the elder brother's hands. If the escape route is blocked, supplies will be a problem.

The reason why nothing happened now is that the two brothers did not fall out, and after all, they are both Ji Chang's courtiers. It is one thing to participate in seizing the heir, but it is another to openly harm the son. Therefore, these princes will not do unnecessary things.

But what if Bo Yi Kao tore his face first?Moreover, on the block of Hangu, apart from official information exchanges, it is almost impossible for Ji Fa to get more information from Shang. It's also locked, and it looks like it won't be able to get through for the time being.

But if Shang Zisuo, then would his father still support him to take advantage of the young?After all, the basis of Lixian is that Shang can call at any time, and Zhou has the possibility of opposing Shang.

If it is impossible for Shang and Zhou to fight now, when there is no foreign aggression, I will be the one who is worrying internally. Once this happens... Ji Fa suddenly sweats like rain—then all the princes who flirt with him now are worthy of it Twenty five boys!

[PS1]

history burst

papermaking:

There were sages in ancient times who wrote on wooden slips and clay tablets. However, the wood is short and small, and the clay tablets are not durable, so many of them were lost. System, recruiting craftsmen from all over the world to make writing materials in Shaofu.

After several generations, there was Cai Sheng, who made a thing out of mulberry bark and silk hemp.Later generations made improvements on this basis, and in the reign of Emperor Xuan, they made tribute paper such as white as snow, thin as silk, and tough as thick, also known as "Xuan paper".

Chapter 63 OEM sales

Yaohan said, under the geological action of Chousangyuan, the original body cracked a narrow road, which can only be passed by one person and one horse. If you want to put on a car battle posture, you almost need soldiers to carry the chariot equipment over a little bit, but you need to use In foot combat, after passing through the Yaohan Road, it is almost impossible to start a battle with Zhou Yiyi's troops waiting to work.

What's more, this exit is simply a terrain of whack-a-mole, and it is difficult to kill one by taking the lead, no matter which way to fight from, especially in this era, the original body is still a virgin forest, and it is almost impossible to climb. climb.

"Ding Dang~" The sound of "Ding Dang~" reverberated between the original bodies on both sides, turned into cascading echoes and passed on and became blurred. "The merchant is cutting wood to build a city." Ji Fa held the white jade carved in the shape of a phoenix bird in his hand, This is one of Zhou's artifacts. Its function is to construct a layer of phantom with defensive power, making him invisible and blocking various attacks. The specific consumption depends on the attack received.

"Your Majesty, do we want..." The samurai shrouded in the phoenix bird jade badge made an offensive gesture. These merchants who are logging are ordinary savage farmers, not serious warriors. A charge and a surprise attack can completely break them up. them.

After all, these days, armored warriors hacking these savage farmers is indeed the effect of tigers entering the flock. One person can chase dozens of people to hack, and the wooden and bone weapons in their hands are not a threat at all.

"Don't disturb them. Let's observe for a while and retreat." Ji Fa shook his head. It was useless to drive back the logging and rock-chiseling savages. They were not far from the exit, and they would disperse in a hurry, and it would be pointless to kill them all. Because Shang can recruit and capture more savages, and next time, they will not be so slack.

"There are not many merchants, and their construction speed is not fast." Ji Fa observed the Guancheng under construction from a distance. There are not many people, that is, one or two hundred people. It is a small camp. When will it be repaired? It can be seen , Shang Wang is unlikely to take the initiative to attack in recent years.

"Let's go." Ji Fa led the people back, and did not continue to take risks to stay here. The road is very narrow, and the invisible camouflage is not really evaporated. If a few unsightly people bump into it, it will be a lot of fun. It's getting bigger.

"Slap!" The frame with the sharpened wood was pressed into the soil forcefully, aiming at the woods outside the camp, the bare-chested craftsman wiped his face, and then raised the mallet to forcefully knock the wooden vertebra into the ground, Secure this shelf against the onslaught of wild animals and giant beasts.

Tigers, wolves, bears, and leopards are all available in the Yaoshan area at the moment. Without such defensive measures, this group of people will be killed by wild beasts soon. Therefore, mining in this era is mostly mined in XXX hill or XXX under the mountain, rather than mining in the mountain, because it is impossible to mine in the mountain.
