Chapter 162 Nanle County is also under the rule of this government Relatively speaking, the storage of corn is already very simple, whether it is potatoes or sweet potatoes, their storage is terrible.The original Jiading Soldier Training Ground is not small, and it is definitely enough to dry corn in the open air, and the only worry is that it will rain.However, this problem is easy to solve.It's just plastic sheeting, buy a batch to block the rain.Lu Xiangsheng rummaged back and forth in Quan Xu's corn pile for something, and he selected a dozen relatively large corn cobs and a dozen smaller corn cobs.It's not better than not knowing, it's more frightening.The large corn cob weighs more than a pound, and the small corn cob weighs only more than four taels.Lu Xiangsheng asked a little puzzled: "Dongsheng, why are these corns so different?"
”Quan Xu smiled bitterly: "It may be that when fertilizing, the fertilizer is scattered unevenly, and the corn with chemical fertilizer will definitely receive five or six more stones than the corn without chemical fertilizer!"
”"Five......
Six stones?
”Lu Xiangsheng said in surprise: "How is this possible?
”"This fertilizer is a very useful fertilizer, with and without fertilization, the effect must be far from perfect!"
Quan Xu looked at Lu Xiangsheng and said: "Let's put it this way, even if it is to plant wheat, since it is my good seed, there is no problem with harvesting three or four hundred catties per acre, if you want to harvest more, you can only apply chemical fertilizer, as long as chemical fertilizer is applied, you can also collect eight or nine hundred catties per acre of land, or even thousands of catties."
Whether the crops can be harvested or not, the most important thing is fertilizer, and I plan to build a fertilizer factory to produce fertilizer!
”Lu Xiangsheng suddenly realized: "You need land to build a fertilizer factory, right?"
Meaningless, let's say, how much land is needed, this government will grant you!
”Quan Xu thought for a while and said: "There is only one five or six thousand acres of wasteland, just like the alkali wasteland near here, it can't grow crops anyway, it is just right to build a fertilizer plant, while the weather is not cold, the project can be launched one after another, as long as I sell some of the grain, my funds can support the construction of the fertilizer plant!"
”The development of industry, Quanxu was originally in the plan.If you want to change the Ming Dynasty, it is not possible to change the dynasty, but from the Zhu family dynasty to the whole family dynasty.This is just a symptom but not a root cause, and a change of soup is not a change of medicine.Quan Xu is ready to change the social structure of the Ming Dynasty from top to bottom.In later generations, China took advantage of the 40 years to complete the transformation from an agricultural country to an industrial country, although it still lagged behind in some cutting-edge fields.However, China's industrial manufacturing capacity is already the largest in the world, far surpassing that of the United States.Why was China able to quickly complete the transformation of agriculture into industry that took a hundred or even more than a hundred years to complete?
This depends on a national policy forty years ago, which was the five small industries.In the language of China's economic sector, they are called the five small local industries, namely small coal mines, small steel plants, small machinery factories, small fertilizer factories and small cement factories.With these five small-scale industrial projects, it is basically possible to meet the basic production needs of an area of one million people.Nowadays, with the development of science and technology, the five small industries in various places have either developed well and become bigger and stronger because of environmental problems, or they have closed down and their equipment has been sealed or disposed of.Quanxu can use the price of scrap iron to buy the equipment and production technology of these five small industries.His purpose in asking Lu Xiangsheng for 5,000 or 6,000 mu of land was not actually to build a fertilizer factory, but to build an industrial park.Nowadays, Quanxu's small workshop is slowly maturing, and it also needs to expand the scale of the industry, and look for a dumping market, raise the army with industry, and escort the industry with the army, so that he can expand rapidly like a snowball.The has been blown out, of course, Quan Xu will also do it seriously.After all, he can only profit from the promotion of new seeds.While drying corn cobs, there is one more thing that needs to be done quickly, and that is the green storage fodder for corn stalks.When Quan Xu was fortunate to travel in Xinjiang, he visited a cattle farm in Jimsar, where more than 30 workers raised more than 3,000 adult cattle and more than 2,000 calves using green storage fodder.The kind of fermented green storage feed is directly dug out and fed to cattle with a large excavator, and the efficiency is definitely just dripping.The process of making corn straw green storage feed is not complicated, that is, crushing, sprinkling fermentation broth, cellaring, compaction, and sealing.It is very easy for Quan Xu to buy a corn stalk crusher from later generations to make corn stalk green storage fodder, but at the moment, under the noses of Lu Xiangsheng and the county officials of the Daimyo Mansion, everything has to be done according to the stupid method.After three days of intense harvesting, more than 30,000 acres of corn were harvested, with an average yield of 2,472 catties per mu.Only 30,000 acres of corn have harvested 74.16 million catties of corn, of course, this is only the gross weight, after threshing and drying, the weight will be reduced by 30 or 35 percent.Lu Xiangsheng was indeed shocked: "If you had planted these corns earlier, you wouldn't have to starve to death anymore!"
”"yes, who would have thought that this corn would have such a high yield!"
Quan Xu was in a very good mood, ordered to kill several big fat pigs, peeled off the potatoes and cut them into pieces, threw them into the pot and boiled them with pork, so that everyone had a beautiful meal of pork stewed potatoes.Everyone was very satisfied with this meal, it was so delicious, and it was so delicious that I couldn't wait to swallow my tongue!
Lu Xiangsheng didn't feel it, he had already eaten this kind of dish here in Quan Xu.As the corn harvest was complete, Jeonxu began to have people harvest potatoes.Potatoes are a bit more complicated than corn, but in the same way, take care of the rice every day, plus twenty pounds of potatoes.The enthusiasm of the workers was very high, first with a sickle to cut off the potato seedlings, and then the plough along the oxen to the plow, in the ridge from the potato seedlings a little far away from the place of the plough carefully past, only once plough to expose the large and small potatoes, the advantage of this is to prevent the potato digger from digging with a hoe and digging the potatoes to rot.After ploughing the soil, the person in charge of digging the potatoes picks up the hoe and digs it down with extra care, digging out the potatoes by the roots, and someone will naturally pick them up in the basket.In the beginning, almost every time I dug up a tree, I would cause a burst of exclamation: "Oh my God, it's so big, it's so much!"
There was a basket without digging a few trees!
”Slowly, no one screamed anymore, they were all numb, the front one dug with a hoe, the back picked up, one by one the baskets were quickly filled, and then picked up on the avenue and loaded into the car, and someone shouted the trumpet and waved the whip to transport the basket of potatoes back.The more they dig, the more surprised they became, especially the officials, they had eaten many meals of this potato, whether it was a golden potato cake or a sour and spicy shredded potato, it was very delicious.But the point is, they really didn't expect that the yield of this potato was also frighteningly high.Quanxu's potatoes are spring-planted potatoes, and the fertilizer is very sufficient, so the general yield per mu is more than 4,000 catties, and some even reach 5,000 catties.Quanxu has long expected the high yield of potatoes, and the yield of some high-yield potatoes per mu can reach 10,000 catties, of course, this is also related to the environment and geography.Seeing the yield of potatoes, the officials and the crowd have become numb.Yang Lukai looked at Lu Xiangsheng and said with a smile: "My lord, this son has the ability, he is better than others in everything, and he farms more than ten acres of land for one acre!"
”Yang Lukai, as Lu Xiangsheng's confidant, naturally knew Lu Xiangsheng's true intention of supporting Quan Xu.But the key is that Quan Xu is a person who knows how to be grateful, at the beginning, in the case of Huang Liji's murder, Lu Xiangsheng was very passive and was about to be held accountable.This is Quan Xu's appearance, so that Huang Liji's original disciple, and now Chen Ying, who is following Quan Xu, turned out the evidence of Huang Liji's private sacrifice to Wei Zhongxian, and solved Lu Xiangsheng's biggest crisis.In order to solve the problem of grain tax, Lu Xiangsheng promoted Quan Xu to be the chief of grain, and as a result, people farm land for a year, and they have the ability to farm for a lifetime than others.Lu Fengming also said to Lu Xiangsheng: "Congratulations to Master Lu, you have a good eye for talent!"
”Lu Fengming, as a warden, is different from a rogue official like Lu Xiangsheng, Lu Xiangsheng will be transferred or promoted during his term of office, and he needs to continue to be in the Daimyo's Mansion.Lu Fengming felt that Quan Xu must make good friends.Lu Xiangsheng was faintly proud: "This government has never doubted my vision, Dongsheng is indeed very capable, for capable young people, then add a burden to him!"
”Lu Fengming thought that Lu Xiangsheng had always wanted Quan Xu to be the inspector, so he said: "But this inspection ......"
Lu Xiangsheng said: "Let Quan Gan do the inspection!"
”"All dry?"
Lu Fengming really hadn't heard of this name.Lu Xiangsheng said slowly: "Quanxu's doorman!
”At first, when Quan Xu proposed to let Quan Gan serve as the inspector, Lu Xiangsheng was still a little unhappy.Although the inspection is a nine-rank official, the problem is that this nine-rank official can be hereditary, just like the hereditary military household, and Quan Xu doesn't want it yet.Now, Lu Xiangsheng understands Quan Xu, after all, he needs to do more things, instead of being involved in the mundane affairs of the Inspection Division."
Oh!"
Lu Fengming suddenly realized.As long as Quan Xu is in charge of the Quanjiazhuang Town Inspection Division, he will have the strength to compete with the gentry of the Daimyo's Mansion.Lu Fengming thought for a while and said, "Quan Gongzi is going to want to raise fish, but I remember that there is a place suitable for fish farming!"
”"Where?"
Lu Fengming said: "This to the southwest, about twenty miles, is an ancient kiln of the Song Dynasty, although this Song kiln has been abandoned, but, due to many years of soil, formed a low-lying shallow pond, you can raise fish, there is an area of five or six thousand acres, just ......"
"Just what?"
”"It's just that it doesn't belong to Daimyo County, it belongs to Nanle County!"
Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng laughed: "Nanle County also belongs to the Daimyo's Mansion!"
”As the saying goes, there are people in the court who are good officials, and Quan Xu has his back against Lu Xiangsheng, and he is also very good at developing locally.When he proposed the need for industrial land, Lu Xiangsheng waved his hand, and five or six thousand acres became his.Of course, there are also formalities.
