Chapter 158 You come to do this inspection This time to harvest corn, Quan Xu did not use household soldiers, but directly asked the castle construction site to temporarily transfer workers, these farmers are workers, and they are all professional in planting crops.Under the organization of Yuan Shiqing and Hua Shanhu, everyone lined up in front of the cornfield.At this time, the corn stalk is not completely dry, and the corn still has some moisture.Quan Xu took the lead in front of the cornfield, reached out and tore a corn cob, and broke the corn cob.Lu Xiangsheng also went to the cornfield and broke a corn cob with his own hands.The officials exclaimed: "It's so big, it's so big, this one is more than a catty!"
”Quan Xu turned to look at the people behind him and said: "You follow my example, break the corn, each person has three meals a day, and reward twenty catties of corn, if you have land, you can plant it yourself!"
”The crowd cheered and began to rush into the fields.There is a lot of strength in numbers, and the speed of work is also fast.The people in front were responsible for breaking the corn and then putting it in a sack, and Quan Xu poured more than 10,000 tons of grain to the end of the Ming Dynasty, and there were as many as 100,000 sacks alone.The people in the back took hoes, cut down the corn stalks, stacked them together, and then used carts to pull the corn stalks out.Quan Xu pointed to the corn stalks and said: "Lord Lu, these corns, the whole body is baby, don't look at this kind of corn stalks is useless, in fact, you can also cook on the fire, of course, this will be more wasteful, and most importantly, it can be used as feed, feed cattle, feed horses, as long as it is a herbivorous animal, you can use this to feed!"
”Lu Xiangsheng's eyes lit up: "Can you feed the horses?"
”"Of course, it works very well!"
Quan Xu pointed to the corn stalk and said: "Let's put it this way, ten catties of corn stalks like this is equivalent to five catties of bean feed, think about it, how much grain can be saved?"
”The Quanxu compound is not the original Quanxu compound.During this time, Quan Xu and Sanniang were not in the compound.Erniang heard Quanxu say that the leaves of corn need to be picked off every once in a while, which can be used as feed, and sweet potato seedlings can also be fed to pigs.Especially during this period of the women's workshop, the business is still hot, it is simply a golden rooster that can lay eggs, she let people purchase more than 500 piglets, more than 2,000 sheep, and tens of thousands of chickens and ducks, a total of more than 160 cows and calves, and as many as 200 horses.It is placed in the pine forest and used as a breeding farm.There are too many corn leaves in 30,000 acres of land.More than 2,000 sheep, cattle and horses couldn't be eaten at all, so Erniang stored these fresh corn leaves according to what Quan Xu said.Lu Xiangsheng's eyes kept on the corn cobs: "I didn't pick many of them, so I packed them into a sack." ”Quan Xu pointed to the corn and said: "This corn is slightly inferior in taste to our whole grains, of course, corn contains a bit of sugar, and if you eat more, it is easy to gain weight." ”"It's good to get fat!"
Lu Xiangsheng smiled: "Being fat is a blessing!"
”Corn harvesting is relatively easy, but it's very hard.However, the people of the late Ming Dynasty were known for their ability to endure hardship, and they worked very fast for twenty catties of corn.Soon the first plot of land was harvested.Several officials weighed the corn in sacks.Yuan Shiqing took a group of account offices in the Quanxu compound to count together."
One acre of No.
A field, nineteen sacks, a total of 1,953 catties and six taels!"
Hearing this number, Lu Xiangsheng's eyes instantly straightened: "How much?"
”"One thousand nine hundred and fifty-three pounds, the weight of the sack has been minus!"
Lu Xiangsheng looked incredulous: "So much?
”"Two acres of No.
B field, forty-one sacks, a total of four thousand and seven catties and eight taels!""
Five acres of No.
C field, eighty-seven sacks, nine thousand six hundred and forty-four pounds and five taels!""
Ten acres of Ding's field, one hundred and ninety-three sacks, twenty thousand and sixty-seven pounds and five taels.""
A No. 1 field 50 acres ......"......
Lu Xiangsheng's mood at this time was quite excited, the tax revenue of the Daimyo's Mansion could be exceeded, this is a political achievement!
As more and more corn is harvested, the corn that sits on the roadside has become a hill, which is spectacular.At this time, the officials gathered around and whispered.Wei County Commander Fang Yifu wiped the sweat on his forehead: "It's too scary, the yield per mu is at least more than 1,900 catties, and the more is more than 2,200 catties, and the output of more than ten acres per mu of land is more than ten acres!"
”Actually, Quan Xu didn't explain it to everyone.At this time, the corn still has the corn cob inside, and the moisture has not completely dried.What's more, corn, like other crops, has a huge consumption of fertilizer, as long as the fertilizer can't keep up, the yield of corn is also very low, but no matter how low, it is stronger than ordinary wheat.You must know that such a thing as planting a scoop and harvesting a bucket was not uncommon in the Ming Dynasty, and it was possible to harvest no grains.However, Quan Xu did not explain that only in this way can corn and sweet potatoes be promoted on a large scale, and as long as there is food, many people can be killed.Fang County Ling of Nanle County stepped forward and said, "Quan Gongzi, can you speak one step closer!"
”Quan Xu looked at the county commander with sparse hair and asked, "What does the county leader have to order?"
”Fang Zhixian secretly looked at Lu Xiangsheng while lowering his voice: "Fang Gongzi doesn't seem to be a student yet?"
”"Hmm!"
Quan Xu nodded: "I have too many mundane things, and I have no time to study!"
”"That's your fault!"
Fang Zhixian lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "There is still some land in our county, there are forty or fifty thousand mu in so-so, this county can be the master, sell it to Quan Gongzi at a discount, as long as Quan Gongzi is willing, I can give you a county test!"
”After passing the county examination, that is a student, that is, the so-called Xiucai.Each county has a quota of 20 or 40 students every three years.The imperial examination, people think that this is the greatest fairness to the children of the poor family.In fact, this is very nonsense, the imperial examination is the biggest unfairness, and all kinds of greasy and black-box operations emerge in endlessly.Of course, the county test is very simple, and the pass rate is very high, which is a matter of knowing the county's words."
Okay, easy to say!"
Quanxu naturally has a great demand for land, not to mention the discount, even if it is a normal price, Zhongtian ten taels of silver per mu, Quanxu buys industrial silver from later generations, and the cost of one mu of land is less than two thousand six hundred.Quan Xu looked at Fang Zhixian and said, "I'll let Yuan go over when I go back!"
”Taxation is related to an official's black yarn hat, but the weather is often demonic at the moment, and these officials are also in a hurry.Not everyone is as rigid as Lu Xiangsheng.Quan Xu will take the fresh corn, threshing, the quantity is not too much, about 300 catties, after threshing, quickly grind it into corn flour, which can be made into corn soup, corn flour steamed buns, pastries.Quan Xu also ordered his subordinates to dig up some potatoes and sweet potatoes, and prepare a feast of corn, sweet potatoes, and potato grains for the officials.By noon, nearly one-third of the 30,000 acres had been harvested under the work of three or four thousand people."
Master Lu, let's go back to Zhuangzi and rest?"
Lu Xiangsheng nodded.The officials began to enthusiastically encircle Quan Xu, including Yuan Shiqing, Hua Shanhu, and Zhou Hongru, and others, and they all wanted landlords like Quan Xu to settle in their county.Quan Xu knows how to farm and is good at management, and the county governor of Daimyo County is the happiest at this time, and his tax task can be easily completed.When he came to Fumin Street, Lu Xiangsheng was slightly stunned.He didn't come here during this time, and he didn't expect such a huge change to take place here."
This is ......," Jeon Wook explained, "I opened a blacksmith workshop, a carpenter's workshop, and a kiln in the pine forest, and many merchants came to buy goods, and there were more people here!"
”The officials were even more surprised, because the prosperity on this rich street actually exceeded that of most county seats.The road is made of lime and clay, mixed and tamped, high in the middle and low on both sides, so that there will be no stagnant water on the side of the road, and the streets are sewers on both sides.It looks very neat and clean, and all the facades of the house are in a uniform format, which looks more pleasing to the eye."
Very good!"
Lu Xiangsheng did not have disgusting speculation that Quan Xu was plotting to rebel, because Quan Xu was both a wasteland and a workshop in the Daimyo's Mansion, which was not what a careerist should do.However, Lu Xiangsheng also felt that the eastern district of Daimyo County at this time could not be left alone.His gaze swept towards the Daimyo Prefecture Fang Zhijie.Fang Zhijie hurriedly walked behind Lu Xiangsheng: "Lord Lu!
”"The pine forest is sixty miles away from Daimyo Prefecture, and this place is prosperous because of business, so you can't ignore it!"
Fang Zhijie didn't understand what Lu Xiangsheng really meant.Lu Xiangsheng said: "You have a last excerpt, please set up an inspection department!"
”Fang Zhijie: "Xiaguan will do it immediately!"
”The Inspection Division, similar to the public security police station in the Yuan Dynasty, was also regarded as the function of the state and county thief officer, but in the Ming Dynasty, it had some administrative functions.Looking at Quan Xu's business for nearly a year, the population here is actually as many as thousands, almost the population of a small county, this is Lu Xiangsheng's political achievement, and he naturally will not pretend to be generous.Lu Xiangsheng looked at Quan Xu and said, "Dongsheng!"
”"Lord Lu, please command!""
It's a good place to run!"

Lu Xiangsheng groaned: "There are more and more people, and things will become more and more complicated. ”Quan Xu was slightly stunned.Did you show your feet?
He smiled and said, "What do you need Xu to do, Lord Lu just command!"
”"You're here to do this inspection!""
Ah......"
Quan Xu hurriedly reacted, this was Lu Xiangsheng's temptation of him: "I, I can't do it, I don't understand criminal law, I don't understand military affairs!"
”Lu Xiangsheng smiled: "Don't be modest, you can do it, isn't it planted in your hands like Zhou Chu?"
It's so decided, at most half a month, the approval will come down, I won't give you money, I won't give you equipment, everything is solved by yourself, this family town inspection department, not only to be responsible for the surrounding security, but also to protect the safety of one party!
