【Chapter 235】 Zuotunwei, whose combat power is only three points

(0235)

【Today's second update is delivered!】

In the Jiangnan region of the Ming Dynasty, some paddy fields had a yield of more than 600 kilograms per mu (three stones were only 570 kilograms). It can be seen that the yield of three stones per mu was technically free. The biggest difficulty was that it was large-scale promotion and application. This involved professional knowledge such as seed cultivation, field management, pest removal, and farm fertilizer mixing. It is estimated that only agricultural expert Song Yingxing could handle it. Xu Xingxia himself, who was beat the edge drum. If Song Yingxing had the ability of Yuan Longping, there would be no need to worry about food.

Besides, in addition to rice and wheat, Xu Xingxia also prepared to promote the planting of crops such as corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes and other crops. Among the 300 acres of land that Huang Kezhang ordered him, there were about one million acres, which were all dry lands with water scarcity and could not be planted with rice and wheat. In the past, these lands were probably just a little planting of vegetables, soybeans, black beans, etc., with low yields and difficult to manage, and they could not form a scale advantage, and the land could not be truly applied.

It’s different now. Now there are crops suitable for dry land planting. Whether it is corn, sweet potato, or potato, they can grow in dry land. Especially corn, it is a veritable high-yield crop. Corn is the largest grain crop in the world in the later generations. It has low requirements for soil, moisture and climate, and its growth period is short, with at least two ripening a year, or even three ripenings. One acre of land a year, thousands of kilograms of corn are absolutely no problem.

Sweet potatoes are also high-yield crops. Like corn, sweet potatoes can be planted twice or even three times a year. The yield of sweet potatoes is also very high. Calculated twice a year, the yield per mu of land is estimated to be several thousand kilograms. In terms of quantity alone, they are much stronger than wheat and rice. Of course, at that time, corn and sweet potatoes were both non-mainstream foods, and it would take some time to accept them.

With a three-year buffer period, the total grain output in this area will exceed 5 million stones. It is not too much to take out one tenth of it and give it to Huang Kezhang. With corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes and so on, it should not be difficult to solve his own grain problems. The key problem is that Huang Kezhang cannot be greedy and will increase the number he handed over year in the future. He must insist on limiting this number to 500,000 stones forever.

After pondering for a moment, Xu Xingxia said in a little embarrassedly: "Sir, this..."

Although he agreed in his heart, he still deliberately seemed very embarrassed on the surface. This is the basic skill of dealing with people. Otherwise, you agreed too easily, and Huang Kezhang thought you still have a lot of potential to explore. If you don’t do it well, in two or three years, 500,000 shi will double to one million shi, which would be miserable.

Deng Rubai is not a time traveler, and he actually has no good ideas for the development of the northern part of Ningxia Town. He did not realize the value of foreign grain crops such as corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes. In his opinion, paying 500,000 stones of grain every year is indeed a bit too much. However, eating salty fish is worth thirst. Since you have obtained a position as a thousand households, you must bear certain responsibilities. You can't give you all the benefits, don't do anything, right?

If there was no task of 500,000 stone, it would probably be very few people who compete for this position. Now, the others are blocked by the amount of 500,000 stone of grain. Qianhu, no matter from any aspect, is considered a small prince who blocks one side, especially those Qianhu Houses outside Ningxia City, which is basically an independent kingdom! It seems that Deng Rubai, actually doesn't care about the Pinglu Qianhu House.

Deng Rubai said bluntly: "It is of course difficult to hand over 500,000 stones of grain every year. Otherwise, your thousand-dollar households would not be able to get it so quickly."

Xu Xingxia pretended to be very depressed and frowned and said, "It's almost the same as removing the word "Dai".

Deng Rubai smiled and said, "You can rest assured that this character "Dai" is just a cover-up. After three months, your character "Dai" will be removed. This is what Lord Huang told me in person. No matter who obstructs you, you are the real thousand households in Zhenshuobao."

As soon as he heard this, Xu Xingxia knew that someone was deliberately making trouble and refused to let him get the right one step and directly promoted him to Qianhu. Needless to say, the only one who has this ability is Ningxia Governor Li Maohui. Even the general officer Li Guozhen is not qualified to speak in front of the three-sided governor. For a moment, Xu Xingxia hated Li Maohui to death. If he is paralyzed, your son will have to be exchanged back! Seeing that I will not deal with your son well at that time!

Xu Xingxia said: "Since that's the case, I can only work hard to serve the country with loyalty."

Deng Rubai thought, "You kid still dares to say the four words "loyalty to serve the country"? Don't you blush? You think we don't know your little thoughts? If the benefits are not in your own pocket, you will be very strange. If you were to be suppressed in normal times, you would have been boundless. It's just that the situation is chaotic and the Tartars are rampant, so you have to use you. By the way, who dares to use you easily with such a thorn?

Shaking his head gently, Deng Rubai staggered the topic and said, "Xingxia, I know that you are indeed very capable in fighting. Even if a Tartar comes, you will probably be able to deal with it. However, I must remind you here that you are now a member of Zuotun Guard. The main responsibility of Zuotun Guard is to produce grain rather than fight. Don't waste the money and conquer the last. Lord Huang attaches great importance to this 500,000 stone of food, and your thoughts must be used on it."

Xu Xingxia casually said, "Isn't it just farming? Okay, I won't forget it!"

Deng Rubai smiled bitterly. This old demon Xu didn't take his words seriously at all. The three-sided governor probably had no weight in his mind. This is really a freak! Forget it, I'm too lazy to care about it. Anyway, he will be a member of Zuotunwei in the future and has nothing to do with the vanguard. No matter what he does, it has nothing to do with him. If he just keeps doing it and hits his head and is bleeding, that's a lesson!

"Xu Xingxia, be careful of Wu Haiming." Deng Rubai said at last.

"Who is Wu Haiming?" Xu Xingxia looked suspicious. He seemed to have never heard of this name. What is certain is that Wu Haiming is definitely not a Ningxia avant-garde. He has been struggling with Ningxia avant-garde for so long and is already very familiar with Ningxia avant-garde officials at all levels.

Deng Rubai didn't say anything, but instead reached out and picked up the teacup, saying that he was going to see off the guests.

Xu Xingxia had no choice but to stand up and said, "Thank you, Commander Wei for your guidance, I am very grateful."

After saying goodbye and leaving, Xu Xingxia was thinking all the way. Since Deng Rubai mentioned Wu Haiming in particular, he probably was not a good guy. This guy is very likely to be a member of Zuotun Guard. Only Zuotun Guard will become hostile to him. After all, he ran over from Ningxia vanguard and snatched their thousand-household positions, which would be strange if they could feel comfortable. If it were them, they would probably find a way to drive him away.

"Come on! Whoever is afraid of whom!"

Xu Xingxia was excited and made great strides forward.

After leaving the official residence of the Ningxia vanguard, Xu Xingxia walked towards the Zuo Tunwei. The vanguard and Zuo Tunwei were not far away, and Xu Xingxia soon arrived. He only saw that outside the official residence of the Zuo Tunwei, there were only two listless soldiers standing guard. When they saw Xu Xingxia coming, they did not react at all.

The official residence of the vanguard just now was already dilapidated, and the Zuo Tun Guard was even more dilapidated. The steps at the door were all incomplete, and the biggest gap was even a copper basin. The eaves were also full of holes. Fortunately, there was no typhoon, otherwise, Xu Xingxia estimated that as long as a level 10 typhoon came, the entire Zuo Tun Guard's yamen would be blown away.

"Subordinate Xu Xingxia is the new Qianhuhuo, Zhenshuobao. I'm asking for a commander Zhou." Xu Xingxia stood under the steps and said loudly. There was a word "天" on his confession document. To put it correctly, he should be a "天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天, but Xu Xingxia naturally removed the word "天天天天. Whoever dared not let him become a regular person would definitely be anxious.

"Go in by yourself!" The two soldiers at the door glanced at Xu Xingxia and said lazily. They might have just woken up, had sleepy eyes, and were yawning one after another. Fortunately, this was in the Ming Dynasty. If it were in the Qing Dynasty, Xu Xingxia would have suspected that they were smoking opium. They could even sleep while standing. Such guards are really different...

There are such soldiers in front of the commander of the guards in the whole gate. You can imagine that the Zuo Tun Guard is only one word, and the combat power is completely gone. According to the percentage system, if the combat power of the avant-garde is only ten points, the combat power of the Zuo Tun Guard is probably only three points. It is not a coincidence that the Tatars were able to break through Zhenshuo Fort. The military and military forces are also military forces, and they are not professional farming! Depressed!

After entering the gate, both sides were still quiet. The square bricks on the ground were dilapidated. Even obvious signs of rats running away. There were also a large number of local dogs, and piles of soil were drilled out in the corner of the wall. It felt that this was not like the official residence of a commander's guard, but like a long-empty dilapidated temple.

"stop!"

Suddenly, someone shouted.

Then, Xu Xingxia's way was blocked.

Appearing in front of Xu Xingxia were two burly men.

"do what?"

Xu Xingxia asked with a frown.

He was really upset if he didn't block the way.

The two of them did not say a word and attacked Xu Xingxia.

Both of them were very thick, with thick hands and feet, and of course the strength on their arms would not be small. The two of them came prepared again and were even more ruthless in their actions. They directly called Xu Xingxia as big as a casserole. But the fists were full of wind and strong. If Xu Xingxia was hit, the consequences would be very serious.
