Chapter 536: The Great Harvest (For 'Smoke and Ashes Falling' Silver Alliance Plus 7)

"That young man is very nice."

Zhao Zhen and Empress Cao are having lunch.

The weather is getting hot, but Zhao Zhen still wants to eat mutton at noon.

The mutton is very tender, and it is braised again, which looks particularly appetizing.

Empress Cao also had one, but she only ate two slices and then stopped.

She glanced at the braised mutton and wondered if it was possible for her to pay for a small stove.

It can't be, it's not in line with the frugal royal style.

She wiped the juice from the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief and asked, "What did he do again?" ”

Zhao Zhen ate a piece of mutton and said comfortably: "Not only did he kill the Liao army, but those Liao officials in Nanjing Province were going to be unlucky." ”

This is to be expected.

Zhao Zhen couldn't help but take a bite of the soup dipped in the braised mutton with the cooking cake, and the sweet and salty taste made him satisfied.

"He also managed to convince the Liao people that the imperial uncle was colluding with the Great Song Dynasty......"

Empress Cao forgot about the braised mutton and said happily: "So the Liao people are going to have civil strife?" ”

"Not at the moment."

Zhao Zhen said comfortably: "But Yelu Chongyuan will definitely not be dormant anymore." ”

This is a good thing and a happy event, Empress Cao took advantage of his inattention to eat a piece of mutton and swallowed it before he looked up.

"The official family and the concubines can't help but want the family to get closer to him."

She lowered her head as she spoke, as if she were looking at the dishes.

Zhao Zhen smiled: "You can go." ”

Shen An's friendship is Zhao Zhongjun, and the Cao family will not be reused again at all, at least not until Empress Cao's death.

So he's not worried about that.

But calculation was still his instinct.

……

"Brother!"

As soon as he entered the house, Guoguo rushed over as before.

Shen An stood up with a smile, and when she ran over, he leaned over and touched the top of her head, and asked, "After my brother left, are you good?" ”

"Well, I sleep with my sister-in-law."

Guoguo's face was a little rounded, and it was obvious that during the time that Shen An was away, Yang Zhuoxue did not control her diet.

Shen An looked up and saw Yang Zhuoxue.

"I've seen officials."

When I returned from a long trip, my wife's welcome was the best antidote.

"Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard."

The husband and wife separated before they got married, and they got together suddenly, and the feeling of alienation could not be eliminated for a while.

"Brother, my sister-in-law and I stuck a lot of cicadas, you said they could be eaten, but they were so unpalatable when they were fried......"

Shen An couldn't help but be embarrassed and said, "What can be eaten is cicada chrysalis...... Don't mess around in the future. ”

"My sister-in-law also ate it."

Shen An glanced at Yang Zhuoxue, and when he saw that she was shy, he said, "It's okay, I didn't know it when I was a child, when I ate shells, I ate them together with the shells...... Then the shell was bitten and it was found that it could not be eaten...... Funny, right? ”

Yang Zhuoxue nodded.

"Also, the first time I ate fried screws, I didn't know that they were internal organs, so I sucked them all in one bite, and the result was not only internal organs, but also crispy raw eggs......"

Yang Zhuoxue's face gradually smiled.

She glanced at Shen An from time to time, and the strangeness in her heart was dissipating.

"When the concubine was a child, she also ate mutton, and when she ate the mutton bones, she felt that they should be brittle bones, and as a result, she cried when she couldn't bite it......"

The couple's goodbye reunion used unveiling to get acquainted with each other.

Then Shen An went next door.

Zhao Zongshi looked a lot whiter, and when Shen An saw him, he was reading a book under the eaves.

Hearing footsteps, he looked up and smiled.

"I heard that the golden fat pill you got is very good?"

……

Zhao Zongshi didn't ask about Xiongzhou, but only cared about the utility of Jin Feidan.

This man's mind is gradually moving closer to the emperor.

Shen An didn't know if it was instinct or ability, but it was a good thing after all.

The next day, Shen An didn't sleep lazy, but got up to get breakfast.

"I eat a lot of beef and mutton in Xiongzhou, but I eat too much of that meat, but I think about the sauce at home......"

Shen An made mixed noodles.

The spicy sauce turned the noodles dark, and Yang Zhuoxue tried to eat it, and then praised: "It's delicious." ”

Guoguo also looked up and said, "My brother is the best cook." ”

The praise from the two most important people in his life made Shen Anxin satisfied.

After eating the mixed noodles, Zhao Zhongjun came.

"Brother Anbei, you have to weigh it today."

Shen An wanted to rest for a day, but after hearing the news, he had to go out.

"I'll go out for a trip, and I don't think I'll be back for lunch."

"Got it."

Yang Zhuoxue responded naturally, like an old husband and wife, but she was still complaining.

"I don't know what happened to Daiyu."

Shen An went all the way to the Zhuangzi outside the city, and the steward waited for a long time with a few old farmers.

"I've seen Lang Jun."

Shen An's success in suppressing bandits in Xiongzhou made the people in the village quite proud, the old farmers were talking about the benefits of Jin Feidan, and Zhao Zhongli found that they had a good memory on the side.

Then the so-called elixir that day was a statement that fooled people.

On the drying field, those farmers are bagging.

The scales were ready, and a few sturdy farmers were on the edge ready to carry the wheat.

"How many?"

Zhao Zhongjun asked with some expectation.

He hopes that there will really be one more bucket, in that case, the promotion of Jin Feidan will be much more convenient.

Farmers have nothing to do in the slack season, and it is not difficult to collect some things to compost, as long as there is an effect, people all over the world will follow suit.

This is the merit of a living person, and the merit is immeasurable!

"I've seen Lang Jun."

The crowd saluted with their hands crossed.

Shen An smiled and said, "Excuse me, let's start." ”

So several people cooperated and began to weigh.

"Last time they said they could have one more fight, Brother Anbei, if you can do this, you will go down in history."

Leaving a name in history?

Shen An said reservedly: "It's just to do something for the Great Song Dynasty, where is it worth leaving a name in history." ”

Make your name!

In the seventh year of Jiayou, Shen'an made fertilizer, and the yield per mu increased by one percent, and the sea cheered.

The first is the wheat harvested in ordinary fields.

This speed is very fast, and after weighing three acres of land in a row, someone said: "Lang Jun, you can't get one stone." ”

The land in Shenjiazhuang is not bad, and the output of one stone is also considerable.

Shen An nodded and praised: "They are all diligent." ”

The duty of a general is to protect the family and defend the country, the duty of a civilian official is to govern the country, and the duty of a craftsman is to build utensils......

As the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty, farmers are responsible for farming.

was praised for doing a good job, and the bankers were a little proud and embarrassed.

He began to weigh the three acres of wheat.

Bags of wheat are weighed and then recorded.

"Three acres of land are weighed separately."

Shen An was very relaxed, and Zhao Zhongli was very entangled.

"How many can there be?"

He couldn't sit still, he went over to see the weighing, and then came back with a long sigh.

He's also in the role.

A few years later, he ascended the throne as emperor, and then he was anxious to prepare for reform.

Where does this eagerness come from?

The answer is right now.

"They said that the Great Song Dynasty was very stable, the Liao people did not dare to go south, the Western Xia people were too busy to take care of themselves, and the Great Song Dynasty could be peaceful for a hundred years. But the weak will be bullied. Rebel here today, rebel over there tomorrow...... There are not many people nowadays, and it seems that they are not eye-catching, but what can be done? ”

Zhao Zhongjun's breathing was a little short, "There are more and more officials, more and more sergeants, and the cost is getting bigger and bigger...... Where does the money come from? It has to come from the people. But the people are already living in difficulty, how can they exploit them wantonly? ”

"Calm down."

Shen An was very satisfied with his attitude.

That's the problem with Da Song.

"The problem of the Great Song Dynasty is that the growing consumption has been transformed into a reason to exploit the people, solve this, and then step up the training of the army, who can be the enemy of such a Great Song Dynasty?"

Shen An comforted him a few words, and the results came out later.

Zhuang honestly, who was surrounded by a group of people, was trembling.

The literate ones are also trembling......

What do you mean?

You have a word!

What are you shivering about?

Zhao Zhongjun raised his head, and the sun gradually scorched.

Are you a ghost in broad daylight?

"Lang Jun ......"

Zhuang honestly shouted, feeling a little sad.

Lao Tzu is still alive!

Shen An said angrily: "Report it." ”

"One stone...... Three more with one stone...... And ...... more."

Shen An was stunned, but his expression was calm.

I said......

How much money has been added?

There is so much land in the Great Song Dynasty, why is the life of a homesteader not easy? It's because the output of the land is not enough to feed a family.

As a weapon to increase income, fertilizer is widely known in later generations and attaches great importance to it.

But what can fertilizer be available now?

Now the key is the seeds.

After Champa rice entered the Great Song Dynasty, it quickly spread in the south, which provided the basis for the population explosion.

Since ancient times, China's population explosion has been on the basis of food security, if the grain output remains the same and the amount of land remains the same, it will naturally not be able to feed so many people in a few decades......

Then there was the lack of livelihood of the people, and civil strife began.

After the Great Song Dynasty obtained the good varieties of Zhancheng, grain production rose rapidly, which laid a good foundation for population growth and economic development.

Today, however, the rate of population expansion has offset some of the increase in food income, and the population is still increasing......

The three redundancies are a big problem, but the root cause of everything is still the lack of food.

Every year there is a man-made rebellion, and now it is only on a small scale, why?

Because the current food is more or less guaranteed not to starve.

What will happen if the population continues to swell in a few decades while food growth is sluggish?

The people can't live anymore.

What to do?

Rebel!

A few decades later, during the reign of Huizong, the scale of the rebellion grew larger and larger. Of course, there are factors in this that the monarch and the minister are brainless, but the root is still not enough food to eat.

Food, from the very beginning, has been a chronic disease of this old empire.

Zhao Zhongjun rushed over with a swish, and then snatched the record paper.

He had learned mental arithmetic with Shen An, so he rudely refused when Zhuang honestly handed over the brush.

He started to look from above, and the weight of the bags was as heavy as a thousand pounds at the moment.

The numbers are not much, and according to his mental arithmetic level, it should be very fast.

But he was watching carefully, from left to right, right to left......

His breathing was a little rapid, and he suddenly looked up at Shen An.

"Brother Anbei ......"

Shen An said reservedly: "How much? ”

How much of a role do fertilizers make?

Despite the compaction of the land, without chemical fertilizers, more than a billion people in future generations would go hungry.

And this golden fertilizer is soil fertilizer.

Zhao Zhongjun said excitedly: "One stone is three more than five liters...... Brother Anbei! ”

The surrounding farmers were already stunned.

"Three more than five liters with one stone?"

Someone shuddered and said, "There is one stone and one stone over there, and there are two more buckets and five liters here...... My God......"
