Winter wheat is planted in August of the summer calendar and harvested in April and May of the following year, and this crop is mostly grown in the north and less in the south. Probably after Anlu County presented this law last year, the county Shouteng could not be sure whether Anlu's situation was a coincidence or true, and was anxious to know its effectiveness, so he ordered more seeds to be planted in various places.

Jiangling, Yingxian, Zhijiang, Yiling, and Dangyang, under the orders of the county guard, almost every county planted hundreds of acres of winter wheat.

As the chariot of the county guard came to the edge of the field, Heifu looked far away, and saw that the winter wheat in the field had already set ears, and when the summer wind blew, the golden waves of wheat rose and fell, and a smell of wheat mixed with heat hit his nose......

Because of the hot weather, the harvest in the south is more than half a month earlier than the harvest in the north, and the strong women in the fields are delivering water, and the farmers are industrious, cutting wheat with sickles, and they are full of vitality. When they saw the county guard, the county order's guard of honor, and the car riding to, they all lost their farm tools and fell down.

The provincial leader didn't look like he had a look, he personally went down to the field and helped up the farmers and peasant women, the provincial leader didn't seem to have any shelf, and asked the farmers how the harvest was?

"Dare to sue the county guard."

The old farmer in charge of this wheat field was very excited, and said tremblingly: "Originally, the field officials asked the villain to pile up human and animal manure together, but we were still very puzzled, and felt that the accumulation of manure was smelly, what is the difference between it and directly applying it to the field?" However, after watering these winter wheat with compost compost, the yield per mu is 30% more than in previous years! Thirty percent! ”

The old farmers also gave the manure after composting and manure a name, called "beautiful manure".

Ye Teng laughed: "Beautiful dung, a good name, although it is filthy dung, it can make the fields fattening." ”

Ye Teng asked Tian Qifu of Zhijiang County to hand over the slips that recorded the yield of these wheat fields, read them carefully, and compared the data of Jiangling and Yingxian that Changshi carried with him, and let out a long breath.

In addition to Anlu, that is, the acres of fields in the four counties, because of the "beautiful manure" obtained by composting and manure, the yield per mu has increased significantly, which can prove that this is not a coincidence, but it is true!

He called Heifu to the edge of the field, pointed to the plump ears of wheat, and asked, "Heifu, do you know how much merit your family has done for Nanjun and the Qin State?" ”

Hefu couldn't figure out what the old slippery man meant, and he didn't like the feeling of being in the hands of others, so he said he didn't know.

Jun Shouteng also knew that since he scared Heifu once, Heifu had taken precautions against him, so he said to himself: "Agriculture is the business of the people, and the reason why the Holy King guides his people is to do agriculture first. However, since the decline of the Zhou Dynasty, the etiquette has collapsed, the princes and tyrants invade each other's tombs, the local filthy officials have been forced to do the same, the government decrees have not been believed, the upper and lower levels have been deceitful, the public land has not been cured, and famines have been frequent......"

"Until two hundred years ago, Li Kui of Wei presided over the reform of the law, and he wrote "The Teaching of the Strength of the Land" for Wei Wenhou. Li Kui calculated that within a radius of 100 miles, there are 90,000 hectares of land, and in addition to the mountain settlements, which account for one-third, 60,000 hectares of land can be cultivated. If the farmer is diligent in managing the field, the yield per mu will be increased by three buckets, and if he is not diligent, the yield will be reduced by three buckets. That is to say, in the land of a hundred miles, the annual output will either increase by 1.8 million stone or decrease by 1.8 million stone due to diligence or industriousness. From this, it can be seen that farmers must be encouraged to produce, and this so-called teaching of doing the best of the land! ”

"The stone system of the Wei State is slightly different from that of the Qin, and there are many mountains and forests in the southern county, and the fields owned by the country are not as good as those in Hedong. But with the method you offer today, you can increase the yield of each acre of land by three to four percent! As the saying goes, nine people eat 100 acres in the upper field, eight people eat last time, seven people eat in the middle of the field, and five people eat in the lower field. But with this method, increase the fertility of the field, the lower field can become the middle field, the middle field can become the upper field, and the upper field is better! According to last year's calculations, if the entire 18 counties of Nanjun implement this law, by the time of the autumn harvest, rice, millet, and wheat will be added together, and the output of grain may increase by 3 million to 4 million stones! ”

Even though Heifu had long known the historical significance of this method, he was still slightly surprised when he heard the number of production increases in Nanjun in a year: "There are so many! ”

In this way, the increased grain production in Nanjun County alone can feed the 600,000 people who have been recruited for three to four months!

For a while, Heifu only felt that he and his uncle were like Yuan Longping in this era.

Ye Teng bowed his head and said: "In short, this is a matter that is beneficial to Nanjun, Qin State, and even the world." The person who discovers this method is far from enough to have a mere first-class title, and your uncle can be directly promoted to no more! Reward 10,000 dollars! After reporting to Xianyang in the autumn harvest, this method can even be promoted to a doctor, and the reward will be heavier. ”

Speaking of this, Ye Teng showed his trademark smile again: "It's a pity, from Tian Zuo in Yunmeng Township to Tian Qifu in Anlu County, the name of Uncle Ru is reported in the Times, if you change it again, you will not directly bully the king." Hauff, do you regret this? ”

Heifu smiled: "To the heights, this law is implemented by the county guard, which will be beneficial to Nanjun and Qin; To put it down, I just mentioned it casually, but my uncle has worked hard for a year to study this method, and the fertilizer water has not flowed into the fields of outsiders, so why regret it? ”

Ye Teng was slightly surprised, and then laughed.

"Okay, what a field where fertilizer water has not flowed to outsiders!"

……

On the way back to Zhijiang, Ye Teng sat in the Xuan car, in a good mood, and the scenery along the way seemed to be pleasant.

He stroked his beard and said to the long history on the side: "At the end of August last year, after receiving the report from An Luyu, the county guard immediately let the counties plant winter wheat on a trial basis, without a day of delay, just to confirm the matter as soon as possible around the beginning of summer this year, so that the whole county can implement it, so that the farmers can top fertilizer in time after hoeing the fields, and finally catch up." ”

This decree is indeed very rushed, and the chief, as the executor, also flattered: "Even if it is a horse of a thousand miles, it must be appreciated by Bole, and only the county monarch can have such a vision and be so decisive." ”

Ye Teng was not modest at all, and generously accepted this flattery, and said with a smile: "It's not that the old man brags, if others are the county guards, they will definitely be delayed for half a year, although they will miss the battle of Chu, but in the end, they can also prove to be effective, and then submit it to Xianyang to let the king know." Even if it is the worst bad official, he does not dare to ignore it, because this is the Qin State, from the king to the county and township officials, they all take the teaching of the Legalists as their own duty! “

"But, what if it's not in the Qin State, but the other princes? What will be the consequences of this method handed over by Hefu and his uncle? ”

Changshi arched his hand: "The subordinates don't know, and I hope that the county will solve their doubts." ”

It seems that today's events made Ye Teng feel emotional, and he had a lot to say, so he told his cronies for ten years about a past incident when he was a official in South Korea.

Speaking of which, the situation today is somewhat similar to that of the past. More than 20 years ago, I had just come out of the profession and worked as a village official in South Korea. The land of Korea is sinister, there are many mountains, the five grains are born, either wheat or beans, and the food of the people is probably bean rice and weed soup, and the life is extremely hard. ”

"By chance, while inspecting Lilu, the farmer under my command said that putting the stalks or cut grass in the field and letting them rot on their own can also increase the fertility of the land and increase the harvest a little in the next year. I was overjoyed at once, and immediately reported the matter to the county ordinance in an official document, hoping that by implementing this law, the people would be able to harvest more......"

However, a year has passed, there is no response, I really can't help it, so I used the relationship in the clan to go to the county to inquire, the county order said that the affairs were busy, and I forgot about it, and I urged it to report to Xinzheng. Then, two years have passed, three years have passed, and Xinzheng still has no response, and he hasn't even sent anyone to question me about whether this matter is true or false, although my clan has some influence in Yedi, compared to those doctors in Xinzheng, he can only be regarded as a small countryman, and he can't help me......"

"It wasn't until many years later, when I arrived in Xinzheng as an official, that I found an opportunity to ask that the original method I submitted was only roughly translated and was not valued by the important ministers of the capital. So I can only wait for myself to be a fake county guard, so that the people of the counties can implement this law, but at this moment, twenty years have been wasted, and the old farmer who discovered this law has long since died, and his children and grandchildren have not received any merit from Korea. ”

"At the same time, Zheng Guo, who lobbied the king of Han to build a canal to increase agricultural production in South Korea, was sent to the state of Qin by the king of Han, although he knew that the ditch needed to spend countless money and manpower to dig, but the king of Qin immediately agreed to Zheng Guo's policy and treated him as a guest."

Zheng Guo was deeply moved and began to preside over the matter as best he could. When the mission of tired Qin was exposed, he had forgotten his original purpose, and met the king of Qin in person, and the chief said, 'The first minister is the middle, and then it will be successful, and the benefit of Qin will also be', do you know what the king of Qin said at that time? ”

Changshi replied: "The subordinates don't know. ”

"The king said, repairing this canal is just the life of Han Yan for a few years, but it can be built for Qin for all generations! If Qing dies, who will succeed him? Suddenly! ”

Knowing that it was poison, but it would be beneficial to him in the long run, King Qin still drank it without hesitation! Let Zheng Guo continue to build canals for Qin, and the canals will be completed, irrigating more than 40,000 hectares of land, and Guanzhong will be rich.

"Zheng Guo has become a loyal minister of the King of Qin since that day, he was ordered to carry out the plan of the captain, and brought the golden silk to lobby me, and said to me, good birds choose trees to perch, Han is already rotten wood, Qin is the king's sycamore!"

"I heard about what he had experienced, and I also learned that the Qin State attached so much importance to agricultural affairs, so I was greatly shocked, and then I knew that the victory of Qin VI was not lucky, but also counted!"

"Those who can go to the farmer and do their best can win the world!"

If Heifu is here, he may be able to think deeply and reply to him: The system is the cornerstone of the development of productive forces, and whoever can develop the productive forces to the greatest extent will win the victory in this long war!

After finishing speaking, Ye Teng looked back and saw Heifu dozing in the car.

There is love, and there is also envy for this young man.

"Although this son is from a humble background, he was born in Qin, a country of great agricultural achievements, and he met me as a county guard, why is it difficult to rise to the top?"

"With a little spur, it's a thousand-mile horse! There shall be no limit to his days. ”

Ye Teng narrowed his eyes: "The only question is, who can be his Bole?" ”
