Chapter 2991 humiliating the farming techniques of the Tang Dynasty, humiliating the fertile black land of Liaodong
After looking carefully, he realized that it was not that boy Cheng Sanlang. Ma Zhou couldn't help but rolled his eyes and continued to be patient and continued to watch and listen to the show.
There are exactly two plays at about an hour at noon. The content is roughly the same, but they are very eye-catching.
Especially when anyone sees a pretty girl being bullied by those evil Goguryeo thieves.
Even Ma Zhou wanted to throw his tea bowl onto the stage. In the end, the bad guys ended up with their heads on the ground in great joy, or they were driven away by the heroic and fearless soldiers of the Tang Dynasty and fled in embarrassment.
Although these big plays are performed for free, there are still excited spectators who throw copper coins on the stage amidst the cheers.
Even if a host stood up to dissuade everyone in the middle, there were still people who were willing to throw money away.
And at that time, Li Jing, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, and Ma Zhou, the famous Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty, were secretly wandering around the border of Liaodong, conducting various overt and covert investigations.
Cheng Sanlang was there and finally resolved the dispute between the design team and the construction team.
He comforted these two groups with kind words and asked them to continue working hard and conscientiously to contribute to the modernization and development of Liaodong.
Cheng Sanlang breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the busy construction sites around him.
In the distance, in the direction of the cement kilns and brick kilns that were first built, there are chimneys piercing the sky, billowing thick smoke at the moment.
A large number of workers, or rather a large number of prisoners of war, were sweating, pushing carts, or wielding shovels, or using tools to make brick embryos.
In addition, near the water, the waterwheels were slowly turning, the roar from the large machinery, and the smoke floating in the sky even gave Cheng Sanlang the illusion that he had entered the steam civilization in advance.
But having said that, in just over two months, he had accomplished so much, which gave Cheng Sanlang a sense of accomplishment.
Nowadays, the cement straight road from Liaodong City to Yingzhou is being constructed at a speed that exceeds that of Britain and the United States.
Furthermore, the coal mines in the southern part of Liaodong City have begun preliminary construction of facilities. I believe that it will not be long before a large amount of high-quality coal can be transported to various places in Liaodong.
It is supplied to people in various places in Liaodong for heating and industrial purposes.
Furthermore, those iron ores that have been discovered before have also begun to build smelters.
By the end of this autumn at the latest, the Liaodong region will be able to achieve its goal of being self-sufficient in ironware and even exporting it to overseas areas.
The current so-called overseas sales are naturally supplied to the Fuso Island countries and the Silla survivors who have settled on Kuyi Island.
Let them work hard to cultivate or mine various minerals in exchange for food, cloth, meat, vegetables and other daily necessities.
Nowadays, in the area around Liaodong City, only ten acres of potatoes and almost thirty acres of corn are planted.
The amount of sweet potatoes is about 20 acres, and there are also sunflowers and peanuts, mostly in this amount.
Cheng Sanlang believes that after the autumn harvest, the sown area of potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes and other crops next year will be a thousand or ten thousand times that of this year.
Because these are high-yielding crops, as Cheng Sanlang knows, things like potatoes require intensive cultivation and high-quality land conditions in the Northeast.
An acre of land cannot grow five thousand kilograms of potatoes. Cheng Sanlang felt that this was an insult to the excellent farming technology of the Tang Dynasty and the fertile black soil of Liaodong.
It is even more humiliating for me, an activist who helps poor households who has seen with his own eyes and personally participated in how to grow various high-yielding crops.
After all, after communicating with the great priest and others, it was found that even with the extremely rough farming techniques of the Yin Shang survivors, one acre of land could still produce an output of more than two thousand kilograms.
The beautiful southwest region, especially Guizhou where the sky is never clear for three days and the land is not even for three miles.
Many poor households live in those mountain ravines, and even rice cannot grow in some places due to the high altitude.
For example, it is difficult to grow rice in the Weining area of Guizhou, so the most advantageous crop in those areas is potatoes.
As for local potatoes, as long as scientific and rigorous modern planting procedures are strictly followed, the average weight per acre is upwards of 4,000 kilograms.
Cheng Sanlang's requirements are not high. After all, there are no chemical fertilizers in this era, but with the blessing of black soil, it is equivalent to having high-quality organic fertilizer that is pure and pollution-free.
Even though the potato varieties of this era are not as good as those of later generations, the output is twice as high as that of the Yin and Shang Continent. This should not be a dream, but a scientific and rigorous calculation.
As for sunflowers, peanuts, peppers, pumpkins... Cheng Sanlang looked at the vast wilderness, and the smile on his face was very much like those old farmers who were about to see a good harvest.
Unknowingly, Cheng Sanlang realized that it was already dusk, and he thought that Li Jing and Ma Zhou were still in Liaodong City.
Cheng Sanlang hurriedly greeted him and galloped away.

Li Jing was still staying in the prisoner-of-war camp. At this time, it was already meal time in the prisoner-of-war camp.
A large number of prisoners of war have already lined up to return to the camp, picking up their trays in an orderly manner and walking towards the kitchen stall set up in the open space.
After the chefs took the trays, they began to prepare meals for these prisoners of war, including two dishes, one soup, and solid staple food, which was enough to feed a strong man.
Of course, after receiving the tray with food already on it, some would go to another stall nearby and pay another one or two pennies in exchange for a variety of meats and dishes in substantial portions.
For each group of one hundred people, a prisoner of war instructor is responsible for organizing a pre-dinner speech.
"Brothers, whose food do we eat?"
"What we eat is food from the Tang Dynasty!"
"Where do we get paid?"
"Given by a trading firm in the Tang Dynasty."
"Are you willing to be well fed and clothed under the rule of the Tang Dynasty?"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"Start the meal and finish within half a stick of incense." Following the order, a group of strong men immediately started devouring the food.
This large square was large enough for thousands of people to dine together, and the shouts came and went, and the responses from the prisoners of war seemed so sonorous and powerful.
This even made Li Jing feel that if such a move were used in the military camp of the Tang Dynasty, the effect would definitely be very powerful.
After they finished their dinner, the rest of the time was spent on the big stage set up in the prisoner of war camp.
Actors began to perform various plays, the contents of which were similar to those performed in Liaodong City.
The difference is that these warriors were either forcibly recruited into the army, or they had to work hard for Goguryeo because of lack of food.
