Chapter 48 The plan of the year lies in spring
At this time, the earth's population was only 200 million to 300 million, and there was no global warming caused by excessive carbon emissions. It caught up with the abnormal climate of the Little Ice Age. This era is really fucking cold! Winter started in October. After a New Year with the characteristics of the Han Dynasty, the ice and snowy winter lasted for more than two months.
Fortunately, the ice and snow finally melted. In the third month of the lunar calendar, the weather finally began to warm up. Xudu, which had been frozen for half a year, returned to the plain darkness from a pale patch, and then the earth began to reappear and upgrade.
However, the arrival of spring may not be a good thing for the royal palace. Wang Hou’s coal mines and iron mines on the mountain can only come to an end for the time being. After all, no wealth can compare to food in this day and age! As the foundation of the founding of the country, even the emperor had to give way to the spring plowing.
Most of the people in the mine were deported to the foot of the mountain. He divided the 3,000 acres of land given by Cao Cao into seven villages. Well, although it was called a village, there was actually not even a house. The refugee tribe who had lived in a fire for a few months had to move the straw pile first and continue to drill the straw pile to rest at night.
Four or five hundred old people were left behind in the coal mine and then digging. At least a lot of coal storage was stored in this winter. In the spring, the demand for honeycomb coal heating dropped sharply. After using it for more than half a year, there was a risk of shortage. As for coke, large pieces of high-quality coal piled into a hill. According to Wang Hou's blacksmith shop's low production capacity, it would be no problem to use it for three years.
Thirty strong men were left in the iron ore, and more than ten blacksmiths including Wang Yuan were also left in the blacksmith shop. In this era of salt and iron monopoly, the small iron ore was a rare source of wealth given by General Cao. Apart from this Wang Hou, he had no income, and he really could not give up.
Moreover, the Wang family's sword and armor were also famous in Xuducheng. Half a month ago, a general named Ang Lee under General Cao was wearing armor forged by Wang Houshu to go up the mountain to hunt, and the wild boar was arched. The guy had three ribs broken, and the wild boar's teeth also broke into the armor. The armor did not even break a hole. The living example immediately made Wang Hou popular, and the orders were all lined up next year.
In spring plowing, Wang Hou, a time traveler from later generations, was so different from other scholars and landlords. Others rented land to tenants in pieces. When harvesting in autumn, it would be a matter of getting three points for private ox and half for public ox. In this end of the world, food and grass were tight, and some black-hearted landlords collected half for private ox and seven points for public ox. However, Wang Hou brought in the set of his parents, grandparents in the 1950s.
Production team!
There were three triangle belts on the left side of his waist and three triangle belts on the right side. There were three black tube heads under the triangle belt. Wang Hou's pants were about to fall off, thinking about his puffing belly, but this guy didn't care about that at all, and raised his slap proudly.
"Brothers, fellow villagers, the plan for the year lies in spring. Spring plowing is about to begin, but there are unexpected situations in the world. We are like God's face to eat. Once we encounter natural disasters and man-made disasters, we may lose a few acres of crops. But for you, we may be out of food immediately. Therefore, I decided to bear this risk! No matter how much food you receive in the autumn harvest, I recognize it, and you don't have to wait until after the autumn. I will distribute it to you according to your work every month!"
"There are 4,200 people divided into seven brigades, each with 100 households and 600 ding entries to cultivate 400 acres of land. Each brigade is divided into ten teams, with a total of ten production team leaders responsible for assigning tasks, calculating centimeters, planting and planting rice seedlings for 50 cm, watering one acre of land for 10 cm, weeding five cm, and digging ten cm. What specific tasks are required, the production team will report to the Butler Wang Wang to the housekeeper Wang at the end of each month! One hundred labor points can be exchanged for one stone of wheat! Ten cm can be used to grind noodles in the mill in our Wang family once, and there are many benefits, and it will be decided by your production team leader and Butler Wang!"
"And in order to motivate everyone to work, in the first month of spring plowing, I will directly reward each household with two stones of flour! The hoe and shovel of labor are also given free gifts by the royal family. The villagers, the more they work, the more they earn! The more they work, the more they earn, and make a fortune, all in your own hands. Every time you put a hoe, it is for you, everyone, work hard!"
The landlords take the risk of farming. As long as they work hard, they will be able to keep their harvests safe. This is a great thing in this era. After listening to Wang Hou’s deception, more than 4,000 refugees and tenants went from old men in their sixties to seventies to small land beans in their thirteens and fourteens, and they couldn’t help but raise the farm tools in their hands excitedly. If this energy was taken to war, no unit in the world could withstand such a fanatical attack.
However, listening to the bloodthirsty roar of the farmers below, Wang Fu, beside him, carefully clasped his fists and asked for instructions.
"Master! If these mud legs are desperate, they will be devastated to work day and night?"
"What are you worried about? According to my master's requirements, you will only have fifty jobs after plowing one acre of land. Besides, 60 people will only earn a few stones of grain if they spend a lot of money in a month?"
The ones you buy will never sell, and the farmers can't beat Wang Hou, the greedy landlord, indifferently hummed softly, and at the old farmers who were full of excitement, Wang Hou did not blush and his heart beat, and encouraged them with many encouragement.
"Friends, make a fortune and make a good fortune!"
…………
Before the spring plowing began, Zhao Laotian from Zhaojia Village and Niu Wanjin from Niujia Village came to the door again. They made trouble and asked Wang Hou for a while, insisting that he favored one and the other, and he would also bring the two villages to join the production team plan.
There was someone who jumped into the pit himself, of course Wang Hou had to agree. After pretending to behave, Zhaojia Village and Niujia Village were divided into two brigades and more than a dozen teams. Wang Hou also specially ordered them to make a bunch of new farm tools. The two old men were happy and praised me, but they didn't know how dumbfounded they were in the late autumn.
In this way, the production relations since the Spring, Autumn, Warring States, Qin and Han Dynasties have completely changed in Wang Hou's hands. They used to be the tenant slave system, but now they have become another employment relationship. In fact, Wang Hou relaxed the deeply rooted feudal personal dependence relationship a lot.
However, a small change in production relations will not be able to show its power several years later.
The efficiency of collective labor has been revealed. In the past, the thirty cows in a village had borrowed thirty cows and the west had borrowed them and ran around. They might not have been able to plow the fields in the village in a month in spring. However, now the thirty cows are pulling the plowing plow, no matter who they are, after they plowed like this, the whole land is directly ditched. On the tenth day after the ice and snow melted, the fields near Xudu were still plowing little by little, and Wang Hou's plowing fields had already started sowing.
However, here, a group of old farmers realized how difficult Mr. Wang’s work points were to get! Others’ farming steedings were just enough to dig the pearing steedings, and some of them were not even digging the pearing steedings, and the seeds were directly placed. However, Wang Hou’s farming steedings had to be plowed so deep in the calf. The seeds were not scattered extensively, but digging a pit every thirty centimeters, filling the germinated wheat in it, and then burying them with the plowing soil.
This sowing will kill people. The whole family will go into battle, and it will not be enough to sow acre of land in a few days.
Moreover, the cultivation has not been completed and fertilization has to be applied. Now, Wang Hou ordered the biogas pool that had been trapped for a whole winter was used, and the biogas generated is almost burning. Under Wang Hou's order, the young people in the village were panting and digging the edges of dozens or hundreds of biogas pools, and used large iron spears to dig holes on the walls of the pool.
Not to mention, after a whole winter fermentation, these human and animal feces completely changed, turning into black and sticky liquid. Because the biogas was burned, it no longer had the pungent smell of the past, and it was just a slight smell. It looked similar to the mud in the swamp.
It looks inconspicuous, but it is rich in nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, amino acids, etc., which are said to be more than ten times the efficacy of artificial synthetic fertilizers. Is it so amazing? Wang Hou is the first time to farm, and he can only rely on practice to draw the truth. It is said that this thing does not burn seedlings. This end releases residue from the biogas tank and into large jars. The other end is asked to push a wheelbarrow specially built for spring farming and transport it to the fields. Mao Jue has more women than men. Village women are wrapped in towels on their heads, pinching their noses and holding scoops, and pouring these natural fertilizers into the land.
Every seed in every ridge must be fertilized. In this way, it takes more than a day to water one acre of land after scattering one acre of land. Moreover, the planting month is applied once every five days, and six times a month. After finishing work every day, when I go back and look at the dry work points of the production team leader on the small blackboard, a group of production team members were almost crying.
However, each of them has its own preferences. The group of tenants under Wang Hou's command was so tired of being edible and hurting the back and complained. Some people just enjoyed it. Old man Yu Jiyu and his apprentice asked for a hillside on Wang Hou Mountain, and they actually started to cultivate vegetables and food. Moreover, when other people came to get the fertilizer, they pinched their noses and tried to stay away from the fertilizer bucket. Yu Jike returned, and an old face wanted to block the squirting liquid that was spraying out. After the bucket was filled, the old guy curiously put his index finger in, dipped it in his finger, then wrapped it in his mouth, chewed it slowly and tasted the taste of the fertilizer.
Not to mention that the people around him looked green, Wang Hou happened to come over to inspect the biogas pool. Seeing this scene, he was so sad that he vomited out all the noodles and poached eggs he had eaten in the morning.
People are floating in the world, and there is always a time to return, and the Yexiang Warehouse is finally loaded on Yexiang.
Fortunately, hard work pays off. Wang Hou even ignored his reputation and stolen the manures that had been in winter began to show its magical effect in this spring. In mid-March, the wheat fields and millet fields of other people's homes had just revealed sparse seedlings. Wang Hou's home fields had already grown green and green seedlings. The spring breeze blew, and strands of wheat seedlings stretched out their bodies with vitality. This refreshing scene. Even the tenants who were tired of sweat dripping from the ground, occasionally straightened their waists and looked at them. The greenness of the mountains and fields was still enough to soothe them.
So beautiful!
