Chapter 289 Development and growth, starting from fighting local tyrants and farming!(1/2)
Rice can only be planted in paddy fields.
On the dry land, Yang Jing did not plan to plant wheat or corn.
Firstly, the maturity cycle is too long, and secondly, the output is too low.
It is difficult to solve the problem of food and clothing for the people.
Therefore, the crops that Yang Jing wants to choose must be crops with short maturity cycles, high yields, and suitable for planting in all seasons.
As for whether it tastes good or not, it is the second best thing to do.
After all, living in this war-torn era, it is already a luxury to be able to fill your stomach.
Being alive is better than anything else.
As for enjoying life, it’s time to defeat the Japanese and strive for peace.
So, Yang Jing decided to plant potatoes in dry land!
Also called potato or potato.
In China, potatoes are generally eaten as vegetables, but in foreign countries, many countries and regions use potatoes as staple food.
At the same time, potatoes are also the fourth most important food crop in the world, second only to wheat, rice and corn.
The yield of potatoes is very high, and the yield per mu can reach an astonishing 4,000-10,000 kilograms.
In large areas of China, it can be planted for more than two seasons.
Using seeds and fertilizers produced by the system, the yield per mu can be increased to about 12,000-15,000 kilograms, and it can be planted for three seasons a year.
In other words, the annual output of potatoes can reach more than 40,000 kilograms per acre!
It's so terrifying!
The rapid growth of Europe's population is inseparable from the great contribution of potatoes.
In the 16th and 17th centuries, Europe relied on the introduction of potatoes, and its population increased by 17 times in just 200 years.
Among them, potatoes have the greatest impact on the rise of Germany and Russia.
During the 30 Years' War from 1618 to 1648, the main battlefield was in Prussia, Germany.
Because the food in the granary was plundered by the armies of various countries, the whole country was shrouded in the shadow of famine.
However, when the farmers went to dig in the land again, they found that a large number of undigged potatoes were still edible, and they got rid of the trouble of famine in one fell swoop.
Since then, potato cultivation has been widely promoted in Germany and has become a common food for the military and civilians in Germany.
Germany had only 9 million people in 1500, 18 million people in 1800, and by 1900, it had an astonishing 43 million people. It can be said that without potatoes, there would be no population growth and rise of Germany.
The same situation occurred in Russia. In 1500, Russia had only 12 million people, by 1800, it reached 37 million people, and by 1900, it reached an astonishing 16 million people.
During the 200-year period when potatoes arrived in Europe, Britain ruled the ocean and achieved the reputation of the empire that never set.
Germany launched World War I and World War II.
Russia's rise has also completely changed the strategic pattern of the entire world.
It can be said that potatoes are completely a strategic crop!
The most important thing is that there are many ways to eat potatoes. They can be eaten by stir-frying, stewing, fried, or directly burning over heat.
It can be cut into shreds, sliced, or cut into lumps.
It can be stir-fryed or cooked soup.
It can be said that perhaps some people are not very interested in eating potatoes, but no one hates eating potatoes.
...
At this moment, Yang Jing had already made a decision in his heart.
Instead, he said: "If you have no objection to the proposal of Ma Tong and Rai Ears, then implement it immediately!
First control the Jinzhai County, and then conduct investigations based on the reports of the people.
After the evidence is conclusive, anyone who commits crimes, oppresses good people, is rich and unkind, and is rampant in the village will be executed in public!
Their property is confiscated, and all grain and land will be distributed to the people of Jinzhai County!
In addition, we will control all the pharmacies and shops in the city. When we march and fight, we will inevitably suffer casualties. Many times we are in a hurry to find medicines!”
Everyone agreed: "Yes!"
Yang Jing nodded and said to Bi Yuntao and Wang Dali: "According to the reconnaissance of the 4th Battalion, there are no regular troops stationed in Jinzhai County, and only one local security team maintains public order.
I see that the strength of a battalion is enough.
You two lead the 1st Battalion and the reconnaissance company to take the lead and rush to control the county town, and we will arrive later!"
"Yes!" Bi Yuntao and Wang Dali stood up at the same time to salute, then turned around and left the command center, quickly assembled the troops, and led the order to head to Jinzhai County 50 miles away.
Instead, Yang Jing turned his head and looked at the 4th battalion commander Liu Yue and said, "The 4th battalion commander, outside the Jinzhai County, there must be many wealthy and unkind landlords.
You came to Jinzhai County as soon as you were, Menqing, and these landlords and old wealth will be handed over to you!
After capturing them one by one, they will immediately bring them to the county town and execute them together!"
"Yes!" Liu Yue also stood up and agreed with a loud promise.
Yang Jing ordered Fan Tietou, Chen Lin, Zhao Hong, Ma Tong and others again: "You can also gather troops and set off in half an hour to go to Jinzhai County!"
"yes!"
Everyone took the order and left.
Yang Jing came to the field doctor, first condolences to the wounded, and then briefly kept warm with Yao Shujun for a moment.
...
Half an hour later.
The troops are assembled.
After some consideration, Yang Jing decided to leave Chen Lin to lead the 3rd battalion and accompany these people to continue to stay in Fengjia Village, while also responsible for maintaining order to avoid chaos.
After all, with more refugees and mixed quality, some troubles are inevitable.
Yang Jing himself led the 2nd Battalion, the Artillery Battalion, the Special Operations Brigade, as well as the direct companies of each regiment, field hospital and wounded brothers to Jinzhai County.
There is a large family with the surname Marquis in Jinzhai County because someone from his ancestors once served as a high-ranking official in the Qing Dynasty.
Therefore, the Hou family relied on their family power to start forcibly robbing Jinzhai County and constantly annexing land.
After more than a hundred years of accumulation, it finally became the richest and largest family, including this county town and even the surrounding counties.
Now the Hou family is here, and it is a huge monster that will stomp the feet and an earthquake will occur in the entire Jinzhai County.
Within a radius of hundreds of miles, basically no one dares to mess with it.
Even if you are chaotic on the road or the bandits around you, you must give in to the Tao respectfully when you see the Hou family.
However, those who are familiar with the history of the Hou family's success know that the prosperity and prosperity of the Hou family was based on the separation of wives and children in Jinzhai County and the destruction of their families!
It can be said that the Hou family has owed a lot of blood debts and committed countless crimes!
In ancient times, even if the whole family is killed, it is not an exaggeration!
However, because Jinzhai County is located in the hinterland of the Dabie Mountains, the sky is high and the emperor is far away.
The Hou family is rich and powerful, and has strong strength, and has controlled all the government affairs and military affairs of the entire Jinzhai County.
It can be said that the Hou family is in Jinzhai County, which is the existence of the local emperor.
The current leader of the Hou family is named Hou Rongcheng.
There are two sons in total, the eldest son Hou Wangshan, who is the county magistrate of Jinzhai County.
The second son Hou Zihao is the captain of the Jinzhai County Security Brigade.
Hou Wangshan's son is also the eldest grandson of Hou Rongcheng, and Hou Shaotao is even more a scumbag.
He bullies men and women and does almost everything he wants!
He even treats murder as a pleasure, and often destroys other people's wives and daughters in front of others.
In Jinzhai County, as long as the woman he, Hou Shaotao, is in love with, whether he is married or not, he will take a group of lackeys and servants back. After he has had enough fun, he will also give his lackeys a happy ending.
In the end, I was really tired of playing, so I either killed these women or sold them to brothels to make money.
The local people have thought of reporting to officials, but Hou Wangshan, the county magistrate of Jinzhai County, is Hou Shaotao's father, and the security team leader of Jinzhai County is Hou Shaotao's second uncle.
Moreover, the Hou family also had strong relationships with the senior management of the Republic of China.
Therefore, when the people report to officials, not only will they not be able to seek justice, but they will also be retaliated by the Hou family. At the very least, the family will be destroyed and the wife and children will be separated.
In severe cases, it will be destroyed directly!
The cruelty and incompetent nature of the Hou family is even better than that of the Japanese devils!
Although the people of Jinzhai County complained, they only dared not speak out.
So much so that in the end, many people chose to escape from this demonic land.
