Chapter 2224 Gui Zi Scroll In the post-Feng Ziying era, gather strength to
For Feng Ziying, he was somewhat aware of the infighting among the women in the family. As the three houses stood side by side, and as time went by, the respective groups and interests of each house would become increasingly prominent.
Even though Shen Yixiu was generous, and even though Baochai and Daiyu had a friendship, they still had to be coerced by the crowd behind them.
In particular, the reputation of the Feng family is growing day by day, and their status in the eyes of the outside world is getting higher and higher. The meanings of the three titles of Hulun Marquis, Yunchuan Bo and Shenwu General are also becoming clearer. Even if they are the same husband, considering the future of their respective heirs. As you grow up, you have to face competition for various resources, so from now on, you need to start accumulating and preparing every bit of it carefully.
Jia Yingchun has given birth to a son, and Miaoyu and Xiuyan are also pregnant. No matter where they are in the room, they can feel the hidden atmosphere of secret war beginning to spread.
In this situation, even if Feng Ziying knew about it, she would not be able to intervene. The disadvantages of having a three-bedroom apartment are unavoidable. How to balance the palms and backs of the hands is a huge problem.
The wisest choice for me is to pretend to be confused and be confused. When necessary, I can enlighten Shen Yixiu, Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu to let them understand that enough is enough.
Having a third wife has indeed brought me a lot of "fun". The three wives have solved the identity of Dai Chai and Shen Yixiu very well. At the same time, Bao Qin and Miao Yu can also win the identity of a concubine. It can be said that everyone is happy. , but as the forest grows bigger, it’s not so easy to be the king of the sea.
It is certainly desirable to be in bed with a bed of red flowers, but the story of competing for beauty and jealousy is unavoidable. Maybe this is also a kind of fun? Feng Ziying can only forgive herself in this way.
"Xuzhou was finally won." Feng Ziying and Li Tengfang walked side by side.
Li Tengfang came here to talk about the summer harvest. Although the summer harvest in Shaanxi this year is not satisfactory, it is already a good harvest compared to last year. These are all secondary. Li Tengfang is more concerned about the potatoes and sweet potatoes planted on trial. It seems that we have also seen a gratifying light.
During the entire spring sowing, a total of about 86,000 acres of potatoes were planted in Shaanxi Province. This was already considered a fairly large-scale promotion. It was also the result of Li Tengfang's support for Feng Ziying after inspecting potato yields and land selection on the spot.
If there is no endorsement from the Chief Envoy, even if Feng Ziying pushes it hard, there will be great resistance in various governments. After all, the Governor's Yamen is only a temporary agency, and the Chief Envoy is the immediate boss.
Li Tengfang's endorsement made this process much smoother. It no longer relied solely on the personal attitude of a certain prefect and prefect, but became a province-wide policy implementation.
"Ziying, I went down to take a look again. There are still about ten days before potatoes can be harvested in various places. I feel a little nervous now." Li Tengfang said with a smile: "All my thoughts are on potato harvesting now. , so I don’t care when Xuzhou will be recovered, that is what the princes of the court should worry about. I want to see how much I can get from more than 80,000 acres of potatoes, and how many people can be eaten after harvesting it. The question, this determines how determined this second generation of Chief Envoy dares to be."
"Brother Zishi, there is no need to be so nervous. You have made on-the-spot inspections before. You actually know the yield of each mu. No matter how bad the land is, it will not be less than one dry catty. On average, it is still one to two hundred catties. Especially
Although the rain this year is not good, it is at least better than last year." Feng Ziying comforted Li Tengfang, "I think it is no problem to produce more than 80,000 acres and 100 million catties. The only problem is the storage problem, but for us in Shaanxi,
Now that we are full, we can save the corn and store it, eat potatoes first, and try our best to eat potatoes during the harvest months, so that we can have more energy in the future."
Both Feng Ziying and Li Tengfang have calculated that if it is 100 million kilograms, a rough estimate is based on a strong man eating two kilograms of potatoes every day for half a year. With a slight margin, eating 400 kilograms of potatoes in half a year can provide 250 kilograms of potatoes.
Tens of millions of people eat it for half a year.
The current registered population in Shaanxi is about 52.3 million. The province is currently undergoing a re-count, mainly to include many original hidden households. Feng Ziying estimates that this part of the population accounts for about 30% of the registered population.
, that is to say, adding the two parts, the actual population of Shaanxi should be
It's about eight million.
In other words, if we can calculate based on the potato harvest of 80,000 acres, it can almost meet the needs of 30% of the population for half a year.
Of course, this is a relatively ideal idea. In fact, potatoes must be eaten with corn and wheat, and two kilograms of potatoes are enough to survive. If we want to meet the daily production and living needs of a strong man, it will definitely not be enough.
For the government, the first consideration is to prevent these hungry people from causing trouble. Filling their stomachs can achieve this goal. As for other things, such as asking people to work hard to build roads and canals and serve as laborers, that is another matter.
One thing is that the supply of potatoes will definitely increase accordingly, but there is no need to consider this yet.
"I hope so, but we also have to consider the degradation of seedlings. Can the yield of one to two hundred pounds per acre be achieved? It can be achieved this season, but what about next season?" Li Tengfang considered the problem carefully, "Currently planting
The areas are mainly in Yan'an and Xi'an, and there are parts in Fengxiang, Qingyang and Pingliang. But in fact, the most barren mountainous areas are the most suitable for potato planting. Therefore, if the situation is good this season, the next season will focus on
In the three prefectures of northern Shaanxi, Gongchang, Lintao, and Ziying, can you come forward and say hello to the three towns of Gansu, Ningxia, and Guyuan. Their current situation is not good, but there are still some garrison guards in each town.
, you can also try growing potatoes, which can greatly reduce the pressure on the court's food supply. Although the court still exempts Shaanxi from taxes this year, I'm afraid we in Shaanxi will not be able to avoid it next year. Let the three towns of Gansu, Ningxia and Guyuan make some preparations first.
, even if they are planted on a small scale, they can make up for their own shortcomings, and we can be more relaxed."
Feng Ziying snorted lightly, "It's not easy to get the three towns to do this. These people won't think about it for us."
"Ziying, you can do it." Li Tengfang stood still and looked at Feng Ziying, "Your Majesty has a high prestige in the three towns, and you are not bad either. I know this. If you come forward and say it, it will have some effect.
, if potatoes can be popularized in Gansu Town, every extra kilogram of potatoes they harvest can save us at least five kilograms of corn! The same is true in Ningxia Town, where one kilogram of potatoes can save us at least three kilograms.
Kilograms of corn, their transportation consumption is too great!"
The taxes of the whole province of Shaanxi are basically to supply the three sides and four towns. The most important and painful thing is the military food security. If the mountainous garrison where the four towns are located can grow some potatoes to meet their own needs, then it can
The saved food and transportation consumption can be greatly reduced, and this cost return is considerable.
Therefore, as the right chief envoy, Li Tengfang had to keep an eye on Feng Ziying to handle this matter, which was of great significance to the entire province of Shaanxi.
Seeing Li Tengfang standing still and staring at him, if he didn't agree, I'm afraid this guy wouldn't give up today.
It must be said that Li Tengfang is a person who does practical things and can achieve success. Once he decides that something is good for the province, he will spare no effort to do it.
The situation in Gansu Town is that the harvest of corn and wheat is not good, and the weather is greatly affected. Mountains and slopes dominate. Potato cultivation will also be affected, but the impact is much smaller than that of corn and wheat.
It takes at least three kilograms to transport one kilogram of corn to Suzhou. This cost is really unacceptable. But if Suzhou can grow its own potatoes, even if the yield is lower, the pressure on Shaanxi will be reduced a lot.
"Brother Zishi, I can give it a try, but you have to know that although these frontier troops still have some garrison guards, the number is very small. Secondly, they have basically stopped farming for many years, and more of them are
It has served the border troops themselves. It will be difficult to get them to grow potatoes, so we can’t have too much hope."
Feng Ziying had no choice but to agree.
"Ziying, I know, but you have to know that Gansu Town can grow one million catties of potatoes, and we can save five million catties of corn. Of course, I know this comparison is inappropriate, but without mentioning the consumption along the way, just
How much labor can be saved, this can make people feel relieved." Li Tengfang clenched his fists and said word for word: "Even if the yield per mu in Gansu Town is 800 kilograms, one or two thousand acres is not a problem.
Is it big? Currently, there are only 20,000 to 30,000 garrison troops in Gansu Province, and we need more than 10,000 jins of grain every year. However, we in Shaanxi need to transport 30,000 jins. Every year, more than a hundred people die of exhaustion on the road. Purple
Ying, do you think it’s worth it?”
Having already talked about it, what else could Feng Ziying say? She could only promise that Gansu Town would open up three thousand acres of land to plant potatoes. Based on the yield of eight hundred kilograms per mu, it would be possible to harvest at least two and a half million kilograms.
.
After finalizing this matter, Li Tengfang's serious expression softened. The purpose of his coming today was to resolve this matter. He knew very well that Feng Ziying might not be able to stay in Shaanxi for too long, and then this stall in Shaanxi
You have to carry it yourself.
The court's positioning of Feng Ziying was very accurate. It was to put out fires. The most dangerous and dangerous scenes were to be handled by Feng Ziying. Once the chaos was sorted out, it would be left to others to take over. Li Tengfang felt that the court was very accurate in hiring people in this regard.
, put Feng Ziying’s specialty to good use.
At present, the situation in Shaanxi is gradually calming down, but the situation in Shanxi has begun to deteriorate. It is hard to say whether the court will let Feng Ziying go to Shanxi to fight the fire. However, Li Tengfang will definitely do as much as possible before Feng Ziying leaves.
