Chapter 115 Agricultural Technology, Rewarding and Updating for Half-Vulgar and Vulgar

After all, in the past hundred years, the wars between various forces have been endless, and the people have not been able to cultivate very steadily, let alone develop agricultural technology. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Otomo family is currently at its peak, and the Kyushu strategy after that will inevitably be difficult to achieve, which means that it is likely that this will be a protracted war for the Kuroda family.

Sun Tzu said: Where the method of war is used, thousands of cars are galloped, thousands of leather cars are taken, 100,000 armor is taken, and thousands of miles of food are fed. Then the internal and external expenses, the use of guests, the material of glue paint, the dedication of the car armor, the daily cost of thousands of gold, and then 100,000 teachers.

Kuroda Vocational High School admires Sun Wuzi very much, Sun Tzu's Art of War is almost backwards, he is very familiar with this sentence, and he has a deep understanding of this sentence over the years. To put it bluntly, the war is fought with economic strength and logistical capabilities, and whichever side can have stronger logistical supply capabilities is likely to win the final victory, including the wealth and logistical materials looted in the opponent's territory.

Sun Tzu also once said: Therefore, the wise general will eat the enemy, eat the enemy for one minute, and be my twenty bells; One stone, when I twenty stones. Therefore, those who kill the enemy are angry; Those who take advantage of the enemy are also goods.

From the process of the rise of the Kuroda family, if you really analyze it, you will find that Kuroda Vocational High School basically did not do anything to rob the people in the local territory of money and food.

First, Kuroda Vocational High School is a person who loves the people, and the people in the enemy's territory are his own people after the enemy is defeated by himself. He felt that if he robbed them of their money and food, he could indeed reduce the pressure on logistics, but he was likely to lose his prestige in their hearts, and if he wanted to regain their support later, the price he would have to pay was likely to be even greater.

Second, Kuroda Vocational High School attaches great importance to its reputation, and in this troubled world of the Warring States, although reputation is probably worthless, in many cases, reputation is sometimes very important. After the news spread that the Kuroda family already owned three million stones, with the good reputation of Kuroda Vocational High School, there was really a situation where the tiger's body was shaken, and the Nekotoshi would bow down.

In one place, after careful selection, pull an old man as his supporting role and start a show, you can easily show the people the difference between the rulers of the Kuroda family, so that it is easy to gain the trust and favor of the people, which is why Kuroda Vocational High School likes to put on a show. This is also a tradition that has been passed down by the Kuroda family since Shigetaka Kuroda was the head of the family.

Third, the Kuroda family is not short of money and grain at all, the Kuroda family was able to produce 2 million hundreds of thousands of stone of grain a year, and there is at least 2 million yuan of trade income every year, which is enough to support the Kuroda family to carry out a war of more than 10,000 people throughout the year, and even if there is a large amount of consumption of road construction, water conservancy, and coastal defense projects in the territory, there is no problem at all financially.

Based on the above reasons, the Kuroda family rarely hunts in the territory of other daimyos, wealthy families, and people, which puts forward higher requirements for the Kuroda family's own logistical capabilities, and needs to ensure more food output.

Because the Kuroda family has acquired more land,

More land means more land that can be cultivated, and land that was originally coastal and along rivers is already fertile land, and if you want to increase the yield of such land, you can only continue to cultivate it intensively.

What can be used by the people of the Kuroda family is the many mountains and tidal flats in the western country, which are not very good lands, and the Kuroda family, with the help of some Ming farmers, is already testing terrace cultivation, and it is believed that it will soon be put into actual production.

In addition to these lands, there were also some small castles that were occupied by the original land, and even some large fortified castles whose locations were not important, were also demolished by the Kuroda family without hesitation, and some of the building materials obtained would be used to strengthen and expand the important castles, and a small part of the wooden materials were burned and turned into nutrients in the soil to lay a good foundation for future cultivation.

I believe that with the agricultural foundation of the Kuroda family, the support of various technologies, and the hard-working people in the territory, these lands will inevitably bring great surprises and harvests to the Kuroda family, which will be the confidence of the Kuroda family to attack the Quartet in the future.

New agricultural tools can greatly improve the current agricultural production of the Kuroda family, such as the three agricultural tools mentioned above, the treading plough can greatly improve the efficiency of ploughing, and can also be deeper land consolidation, which is very effective for improving the growth environment of rice.

Crop growth is definitely not as simple as watering and fertilizing, for crops water, fertilizer, gas, heat are indispensable, for the geographical distribution of various plants, is just a natural selection of the four elements. These four simple words contain the various requirements of agriculture for weather, geography, hydrology, and geology, which are not simple at all. Therefore, I have always believed that even if there are many things to complain about, farmers are a group of people who are very intelligent in this world.

In order to minimize the impact of the natural environment on the agricultural production and output in the territory, the Kuroda family had already carried out a lot of work before, such as digging canals, dredging rivers, strengthening river banks, and reinforcing coastal embankments.

Such an attitude not only showed the strong confidence of the Kuroda family in being able to defend their territory, but also passed on this confidence to the people in the territory, letting them know that the Kuroda family had the confidence to protect this land, and they could also protect the fruits of their labor from harm, so as to gain the support of the people.

This time, the waterwheel that the Kuroda family wanted to promote was also improved during the Yuan Dynasty. It should be reminded here that the waterwheel is an irrigation tool invented by the ancient Chinese working people and the crystallization of the wisdom of the Chinese working people.

The waterwheel is an ancient water-lifting irrigation tool with wooden spokes supporting the axle in the middle, which spreads out in a radial pattern. At the top of each spoke is a scraper and bucket, the scraper scrapes the water, and the bucket is filled with water, which is rotated by the inertia of the water potential to inject water into the pre-dug ditch and flow into the irrigated farmland.

There were also waterwheels before the Wa Kingdom, and the waterwheel technology of the Wa Kingdom was introduced during the Tang Dynasty, but it is still used until the same as the waterwheel of the Tang Dynasty, and even the waterwheel of the Yuan Dynasty used by the Kuroda family is a technical product that has been improved several times on this basis.
