Chapter 74 The Great Xia State Land Reclamation Group
Chapter 74 Daxia National Agricultural Reclamation Group
Relying on the temptation of the beautiful girl army, Yang Feng recruited more than a hundred people in Taicang before dark.
Of course, more people actually signed up.
More than 100 of these were passed through his own personal interview.
So a man!
Who can resist the temptation of hugging each other?
What's more, they are all pretty girls, who can at least be said to have average looks. Hundreds of them stand there, and old men are always pushing forward.
But you can’t have all the crooked melons and cracked dates.
First, those who are not married, second, those who are strong, and third, those who look fairly honest and loyal...
In short, you have to go through an interview with him first.
After the interview was confirmed, I went to the government to sign a contract, and all the conditions were clearly stated, including those who were killed or injured in battles with bandits and barbarians. Everyone who worked in the merchant settlements had to realize that the merchant settlements in the Ming Dynasty were originally armed settlements. Then
Both parties signed and pledged, and each kept a copy of the deed and kept it in the official archives. After completing the legal procedures, Yang Feng advanced half a year's salary as settlement expenses for his family. As for the people, they had to follow him directly.
But I didn't really follow him.
He wants to go to the capital. How can he get there with so many people?
One person gave birth to two adopted daughters and then sent them to Dengzhou for adaptive training.
To be precise, I followed the training within the Ming army.
Yang Wen contacted Yang Feng.
At this time, the leader of the Ming army in Dengzhou was Qi Jiguang, his ancestor.
Because Yang Feng told Zhu Yuanzhang that he had a descendant of a famous general, Qi Bin, who originally only commanded Qian affairs, was favored by Zhu Yuanzhang. In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to attack the Japanese country, so he set up a separate Shandong Bei Japanese Capital Division in Dengzhou, and then made Qi Bin his capital.
Commander.
All coastal garrison stations in Shandong were under the jurisdiction of the Beiwadu Division.
It can be regarded as a meteoric rise!
The fourth level jumps directly to the second level.
Zhu Yuanzhang even specifically told him in the imperial edict that it was because Yang Feng said that he had a good descendant.
Lao Zhu is very cunning.
He deliberately promoted Qi Bin to tell the world that his Zhu family would still have famous generals born at least three hundred years later. It can be said that the family is stable.
He said it for a hundred more years.
In fact, even though the founding emperor of ancient China claimed that the country would last forever, he knew very well in his heart that this was simply impossible, and those who followed him to conquer the world also knew that it was impossible. If such a dynasty really existed, how could it happen again?
When they came to power, unlike the Sui Dynasty, it was good to have only two generations of young people. Zhu Yuanzhang knew that he could not rule the country forever, and his subordinates also knew that the Zhu family could not rule the country forever.
Then he will tell these people that the Zhu family will still be stable in at least two hundred years...
He didn't intentionally say a few hundred more years because he knew that would appear too false.
Five hundred years?
You think we are fools!
Three hundred years is a number that has some credibility.
After all, there are still dynasties close to this number.
In addition, he also told the generals who followed him to conquer the world that as long as they were loyal to the Zhu family, their descendants would still be prominent even three hundred years later. Of course, he could not say that Qi Jiguang claimed to be a lackey in front of the civil servants, let alone that the Qi family army was cheated.
Are you saying I killed the hero?
defamation.
Absolute slander.
It was obvious that they had committed a capital crime, so I had to kill them. In fact, it was very painful for me to kill them!
I gave Li Shanchang a chance.
But the law is the law!
They have committed a capital crime, and the number of times the iron ticket has been used up to avoid death, so I have no choice but to kill them, otherwise how can the people in this world obey?
But for people like the Qi family who have not committed crimes, not only will they not be killed, but their descendants will still be prominent even three hundred years later, which is enough to prove that I am affectionate and righteous to the hero.
In short, he promoted it with great fanfare, making Qi Bin, who was originally unknown, suddenly become a rookie in the military.
Now that Yang Feng is asking Qi Bin for a favor, it is of course a small matter for Qi Bin because of the favor of the governor Yang Wen.
In this way, Yang Feng's recruitment officially began.
There are still cattle, farm tools, seeds, etc. left to wait until spring.
The former is easy to solve.
Just take people to the grassland to grab a wave.
Although Mongolian cattle are not farm cattle, they can also be used for farming.
And I don’t expect to farm in the first year.
Just build a commercial village first and choose a suitable farm to open up wasteland...
It's a farm.
For example, if we want to establish stable agriculture in the Songhua River Basin, we can only plant a wide range of crops with a low harvest, or adopt the route of mechanized farms. Although modern agricultural machinery is not available in this era, there are still animal-powered agricultural machinery that can be used.
Animal power can also be mechanized.
The horse-drawn harvester was born in the 1830s.
Even though it’s just harvesting.
But it is also several times more efficient than pure manpower.
A complete set of animal-driven agricultural machinery, including cultivators, seed drills, harvesters, etc., were widely used in the United States between the 18th and 19th centuries. Although they are indeed incomparable to modern large-scale agricultural machinery, they are far more than
Purely artificial. At most, it only increases the cost of raising livestock, but in this era in the Northeast, there are pastures everywhere that can be grazed, so the cost of raising livestock can be very low.
You can also go out and grab it.
Moreover, we can build an agricultural and animal husbandry complex, where we can open up wasteland for farming and simultaneously engage in animal husbandry and processing, such as various dairy products and canned meat.
Agricultural and animal husbandry multinational companies.
It is indeed transnational.
The company he received imperial approval from Zhu Yuanzhang was the Daxia Agricultural Reclamation Group.
It is a foreign capital introduction project of Ming Dynasty.
This was very appealing to Zhu Yuanzhang. In his view, the introduction of foreign capital meant giving him money. After all, the land was his, the people were his, and the grain was still his. What could Yang Feng get? And no matter what Yang Feng got,
It is for consumption in Daming. The various new agricultural tools and new agricultural technologies he manufactures will also be promoted in Daming. It can be said that it has promoted the industrial upgrading of the entire Daming.
Ming Dynasty did not have patents.
As long as Yang Feng builds these machines and they are indeed useful in practice, Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely promote them without hesitation.
He is obsessed with farming.
He could not care about anything else, even the monetary system and foreign development, these were secondary to farming. As a feudal monarch, he was very good at focusing on key points. He knew that people who had enough to eat would not rebel.
That's why he readily agreed to the agricultural reclamation group proposed by Yang Feng. It was because he thought about it and found that it was all good for him. However, he forgot one thing. People's wisdom was opened in the process.
Advanced production relations were established.
Progressive ideas spread.
Tricksters were born.
The feudal system of kings and ministers was continuously eroded until it collapsed.
So what Yang Feng needs to do next is to use the information sent by Sister Liu to manufacture as many of these machines as possible in Ming Dynasty.
There is no need to consider fertilizer issues.
The land there is fertile enough.
Another thing to consider is pest control, but it does take time to get pyrethrum, but there is another pesticide that was commonly used before the chemical age...
"Udo?"
Yang Wen was stunned for a moment.
"Poisonous to fish, fish vine.
It should be places like Guangdong and Guangxi, and there should be many in Qiongzhou."
Yang Feng said.
The three traditional insecticidal plants, pyrethrum, fish cane, and tobacco, are definitely not available for the time being. Actual tobacco can also be used in farmland. Tobacco soaked in water is still very effective in killing insects, but fish wisteria powder is an ancient pesticide, so it is completely acceptable.
Use. Moreover, this thing grows near water. It is inherently a weed and will not occupy farmland. The only problem is manpower to collect it.
"It's easy. Just go to the guard station and ask Yu Ding, a military householder, to collect it for you. As long as you pay them, of course they will be happy."
Yang Wen said.
"Then leave it to you.
But I want it dried, and the price can be negotiated separately.
But I don’t just want it once, but every year in the future, and the amount I want is not small, so they’d better not waste all the money, because when the time comes, there will be no more water.”
"What can this thing do?"
"Insect killing, but the effect of dry powder alone is actually limited. We have to find a way to get a sprayer and then spray with leachate. This is really difficult and requires rubber. Now we can only make do with it."
Yang Feng said.
This is really just doable.
They waited in Taicang until the morning of the next day, then boarded the boat again after high tide. Pushed by the tide, they continued towards the capital, and were eventually pushed by the tide to Zhenjiang. Because it was dark, they could only dock again and enter the city. At this time, the Yangtze River was open.
, but the river is densely covered with various shoals and sandbars, and the area between Zhenjiang and Nanjing is still the Huangtiandang of the past. During the dry season, it can be said to be like a maze, and it is very dangerous for ships to sail at night.
In Zhenjiang City, Yang Feng once again performed the style of beautiful girls entering the city, and then successfully caused a sensation.
All that's left is to recruit workers.
Moreover, it happened to be windy the next day, so he stayed in Zhenjiang for one day on the pretext that sailing was dangerous.
Finally, by evening, he had recruited more than 200 people in Zhenjiang. Just like those in Taicang, he would send them to Dengzhou after signing the contract. When he set off again, of the 740 beautiful girls, less than 100 were left.
.But fortunately there are still those little girls, so the team is still very spectacular, and these little girls also proved that he has sufficient reserves of adopted daughters, so he can sign the contract first and then book the adopted daughters. Anyway, the standard of this era is fourteen
You can get married at the age of five, why don't you try it first?
Can we pair them with you first, and at most let Ambassador Yang raise them temporarily, and then you can take them away when they reach the age of fifteen?
In fact, it is also possible.
It's like taking a child bride.
Those who know that they are basically destined to be married into a family due to family background problems can completely accept this. As long as they are not too young, those who are eleven or twelve years old can indeed consider it.
I have to say that Yang Feng is also very flexible in using his adopted daughters.
He even considered making an IOU.
First, make a promise to those who signed the contract, guaranteeing to get them two beautiful girls within one year. If it cannot be fulfilled within one year, then they will be compensated with money, and the contract can even be automatically terminated. Everything you gave them before will be considered as compensation. You have to believe Yang
Ambassador, as long as you follow Ambassador Yang, there will always be beautiful girls. He has only been out for half a year and he has already got so many. Isn’t it easy to get hundreds of beautiful girls for you in one year?
