The secret of the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans' increasing grain output that made Tian Kai and Zhang Fei puzzle over the solution, and even feel a faint fear in their hearts, is actually not that mysterious.
Anyone who is a modern person knows that every small step of improvement in agricultural technology means a great increase in the output of fields of the same area. What Leihu did was to make all the fields under his jurisdiction under the guidance of better agricultural technology.
Farming and food production are difficult to achieve unless they are significantly increased.
Intensive cultivation, fertilization and weeding are agricultural technologies that everyone in modern society knows, but at this time, the big man has produced amazing results.
Especially when it comes to fertilization, you must know that this is a mythical world, where the aura of heaven and earth is rich and the land is extremely fertile. By using some means to produce large amounts of biofertilizer, the effect of fertilizing the fields and increasing the yield of food crops is surprisingly good.
Because the Taoist masters of the Yellow Turban Army have extremely in-depth research on the talisman, many biofertilizers that require extensive research in chemistry and microbiology can be formulated in modern times. In the current Qingzhou Yellow Turban, through the talisman, it is very easy to
It can be easily produced in large quantities.
There are many uses of spells in agricultural development. For example, with the help of certain spells, pests in farmland can be easily minimized or even completely eliminated, which provides an extremely important guarantee for high grain yields.
Weather, rain, and spells can all be used to regulate air in a small area. In the late Han Dynasty, when food was grown and depended on the weather, the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans' achievements in agriculture could be said to have changed the world.
Not only can the spell be of great help in specific planting aspects, but it can also play a great role in selecting improved seeds and accelerating the growth of food crops.
What Lei Hu said at the high-level meeting on agricultural production, that magic is the primary productive force, has been proven by facts, and the Qingzhou Yellow Turban has confirmed this without a doubt.
Not only that, there are other reasons why the food cultivation in the Qingzhou Yellow Turban territory is able to achieve three to five crops. Even with the help of talismans, it is impossible to do it according to the old farming methods.
Interplanting is a very mature technology in modern agriculture, but in the late Han Dynasty in this world, there was still no trace of it. Although Lei Hu didn't know much about it, his little knowledge could still improve the agriculture under his rule.
It is produced three to five times a year.
The key, in addition to the agricultural technology in my memory, is that the environment in this world is too good and the soil is too fertile. If crops cannot be harvested three to five times a year, it means that he has done a poor job.
These agricultural techniques that have been actually verified in the Yellow Turban collar, every minute step and the growth process of crops have been strictly recorded and compiled into books, and then directly taught as textbooks in schools.
Such behavior, if the outside aristocratic families were to know about it, would definitely cause them to be furious. So they tried to mobilize their power to destroy the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans and spread out this set of effective and even epoch-making technologies.
Gather them all, and the talents they cultivate will either be recruited or directly destroyed.
Don't doubt the determination of aristocratic families to monopolize knowledge. Agricultural technology is also a kind of knowledge. Especially in the late Han Dynasty, an era when agriculture was quite primitive, aristocratic families were quite crazy about monopolizing agricultural knowledge.
It is precisely because the aristocratic families have mastered more advanced agricultural technology that they can surpass the imperial court in the competition for people's hearts and minds, becoming a unique presence in the local area, and can easily block the imperial court's presence.
To put it bluntly, the core interest of aristocratic families is the monopoly of knowledge!
The behavior of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, or Lei Hu, is definitely something that aristocratic families deeply hate. Once they notice it, they will immediately react violently like a storm.
Lei Hu didn't care about this. The senior officials of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou were all a bunch of rubes and had no clear understanding of this at all. Naturally, they would not have the slightest objection. On the contrary, they actively let their children enter the school to study.
The benefits of agricultural technology have been revealed, and the senior officials of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou naturally hope that their children can master these technologies. As for the children of ordinary people who can also learn these practical agricultural technologies, they have not yet considered these, nor have they thought of blocking the technology.
When Tian Kai and Zhang Fei learned this information, they were speechless. Especially since Tian Kai, as an outstanding son of a wealthy Youzhou family, felt an inexplicable resentment and rejection towards the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans.
If Lei Hu knew what he was thinking, he would definitely know that this is the core class conflict, which is related to his background and education, and has little to do with his current environment.
This is because Tian Kai didn't know that the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans had already begun to popularize education, and would also spread the agricultural technology combined with the talismans. Otherwise, he might have immediately rebelled in his heart.
"I never thought that those guys who played with magic in the Yellow Turban Army could be so useful!"
After understanding the agricultural technology of the Yellow Turban collar, Zhang Fei smiled bitterly and had nothing to say. During the exchange with Tian Kai, he couldn't help but said depressedly: "We can't learn the advantages of the Yellow Turban collar!"
Tian Kai was also helpless, there was nothing he could do about such a thing.
…
Soon, Tian Kai and his men said goodbye and left.
I've been away from my hometown for almost a month. If I don't go back, there might be problems.
When they left, Taishi Ci and Wu Anguo came to see them off in person, and at the same time hundreds of talisman vehicles filled with grain and grass supplies followed. These were supplies supported by the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans. Of course, they all paid for them, but they were supplied at cost price.
Zhang Fei and Mi Zhu also came to see him off. They would be leaving in half a month.
This time, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban leader and his group, Tian Kai and his subordinate Wen Wu, had achieved their goal of hugging each other. No matter what they said, they felt a lot more relaxed in their hearts.
With the support of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, their situation has greatly improved. They only need to deal with possible threats from Jizhou and no longer have to worry about the threat from the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army.
Of course, you have to pay a price for hugging your thighs. Although the leader of Qingzhou Yellow Turban did not say it clearly, Tian Kai and others knew in their hearts that the Yellow Turban would gradually infiltrate the power in their hands.
He recognized it with his nose.
After all, we have to face existential threats all the time, and a little face issue is nothing.
Moreover, with the grain, grass and weapons supported by the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, Tian Kai could expand his army aggressively, at least by another five million troops, which would be enough to deter the Jizhou Army stationed on the Qingzhou-Hebei border from daring to act rashly.
Lei Hu's requirements for Tian Kai are not high, as long as he can always attract most of the attention of Yuan Shao and Jizhou Wenwu. As for how well he and his men are doing, and whether their life is good or not, that is not what Lei Hu needs to consider.
His current thoughts are focused on the transformation of primary talisman culture in the entire Yellow Turban territory.
Through the way of spells mastered by Taoist masters, the Yellow Turban collar now has rune vehicles, rune communications, rune harvesters and other rune tools, which are designed to cover all aspects of production and life.
With the emergence of a large number of rune tools, the entire Yellow Turban collar has a preliminary "industrialization" drive.
Although Lei Hu felt that this kind of elementary talisman culture transformation was still not worthy of publicity in his eyes. It only simply improved productivity and efficiency, and strengthened transportation and communications within the territory. However, this approach still caused earth-shaking changes in the entire Yellow Turban Territory.
The change.
With sufficient food as the basis, the exchanges within the entire Yellow Turban collar suddenly increased a lot, followed by prosperous commerce, and huge changes in the people's mental outlook and knowledge.
Thunder Tigers can sense emotions. As the road traffic construction within the Yellow Turban collar gradually improves, the tracks specially designed for the running of talisman vehicles are gradually laid across the main roads of the entire Yellow Turban collar. A stream of luck condenses in the Yellow Turban collar like a hundred streams of water converging into the sea.
body, causing his injuries to recover extremely quickly.
Obviously, the path of civilization evolution he chose has achieved initial success. Surprisingly, he has gathered a lot of luck, which has greatly improved his always embarrassing physical condition.
Based on the degree of control he has over his own body, it can be deduced that if he can obtain more luck, not only will the injuries on his body that have not improved be fully recovered, but he may even get other benefits.
Luck is a good thing no matter which world it is in. Maybe Lei Hu's opportunity to go further is hidden in the luck condensed in his body.
Now that we are on the right path, we must continue walking unswervingly.
At present, the population and territory controlled by the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans are not large. When the power of the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans expands in the future, I believe that through the transformation of the more mature primary talisman culture, more luck will come.
Lei Hu did not rush to expand his territory and power, but acted step by step and slowly.
This world always gives him a very strange sense of danger, as if his actions if he goes a little too far may lead to extremely terrible consequences.
This kind of perception is inexplicable, and he can't detect any danger, but Lei Hu has no idea of taking risks.
The aura of heaven and earth in this world is very rich. According to his estimation, even if a powerful person who supports the appearance of a heavenly immortal or even a mysterious immortal will appear, there will be no problem. If Lei Hu, an earthly immortal with a wounded body, dares to act carelessly, he will probably die without knowing how.
Damn it.
Another half month later, Zhang Fei and Mi Zhu had exchanged enough military supplies with the Yellow Turbans. The situation in Xuzhou was relatively tense, and they had no intention of staying in the Yellow Turbans anymore, so they went directly to Lei Hu to say goodbye that day.
"As long as you bring enough gold and silver, if you need anything here in the territory, you can just come and exchange it. No one will set up obstacles!"
Lei Hu directly expressed his position: "I hope Liu Shijun can withstand Cao Jun's front!"
Zhang Fei and Mi Zhu hurriedly expressed their thanks, and they did have reasons to be grateful.
Looking around, the only place where Liu Bei Group can obtain sufficient ordnance supplies is Qingzhou Yellow Turban...
