Destiny Only Han

Chapter 722 Liu Ying: Only siblings are good in this world...

Beside the field ridge, seeing Liu Ying's half-smile expression, Lu Shizhi became a little uneasy. As expected, he heard Liu Ying's sarcasm in the next second.

"Wheat is a crop that has a characteristic, that is, the best harvest time is not fully mature, but nine mature. If this critical value is exceeded, the nutrients in the grain will flow back to the straw, resulting in reduced yield."

"This is what the old farmers in the country often say. Nine times are ripe, ten percent is harvested; ten percent is ripe, ten percent is lost."

Well, the so-called old farmer in the country was made up by Liu Ying, but the truth is true, so Liu Ying went on to say:

"The time that can be used to harvest wheat every year is only about seven or eight days. Considering that it is too hot to kill people, the wind is easy to blow over the wheat, and the rain can cause the wheat to germinate and become moldy, so harvesting wheat is also called rush harvesting. The best time is the three to five days that God set aside for everyone, otherwise production will be reduced!"

"And if the farmer's family has only a few dozen acres of land, it is enough for the whole family to return to the warehouse, but what if the average person is a hundred acres? If they are exhausted, they will not be able to complete the harvest in such a short period of time!"

After Liu Ying finished speaking, Mao Shizhi and the others looked at the harvester being dragged by the poor horse to go further and further, their eyes flickered, and that was all.

After all, the Central Plains area is densely populated, and on average, each farmer only has [-] to [-] acres of land. The harvester saves manpower, but it consumes a lot of money, which is not worth the loss.

Therefore, as Cyrus McCormick, the inventor of the reaping machine, said, the reaping machine is only a convenient tool on dense land; Machine is a must.

Well, the driving force behind Cyrus's invention of the harvester was that his family had 1000 to [-] acres of land. Even though he had kept nine humanoid agricultural machines, it was still far from meeting the farm's demand for labor.

At that time, although Americans had children crazily and a large number of overseas immigrants poured in, compared with the growth of the territory, the growth of the population paled in comparison.

The same is true of the Han Kingdom today, with a population of 5000 to [-] million is not enough to fill the rapidly growing country.

In the agricultural reclamation and animal husbandry areas of the four northern counties planned by Liu Ying, even in the Ningxia Plain, which is later called Saibei Jiangnan, the agricultural reclamation area only accounts for less than half of the total plan!
Without him, harvesting is too troublesome, it is better to leave the land to raise sheep...

Therefore, this kind of semi-automatic agricultural machinery that can harvest hundreds of acres in one morning is very important!
The most perfect point is that this simple harvester is the power of livestock. In a large farm with an average of [-] acres of farmland per capita, it can casually support a dozen large animals such as horses or cows.

Therefore, the Liangjiazi from a farmer's family is not only tall and strong because of good nutrition, he is a natural heavy infantry, but also because he has been exposed to horses since he was a child, his riding skills are not bad, and he will become a qualified cavalry with a little training!

Especially with the increase in the production capacity of muskets, the highly mobile cavalry infantry such as dragoons has a place to use!

Well, in fact, the Maxim machine gun did not end the era of cavalry.

Even in the European theater of World War II, cavalry is still galloping.

For example, on the Eastern Front, both the Soviet Union and Germany formed and used a large number of cavalry units. During the counter-offensive phase of the Moscow Defense War, a large number of cavalry cooperated with ski infantry to encircle the German army, which played a very good role.

At the end of the Battle of Korsun-Shevchenkovsky, a wave of Soviet cavalry charged and sentenced the last batch of German soldiers who could not escape to death. Some boys even chopped off the hands of the Germans who surrendered. the' statement...

In the Chinese battlefield, there are also a large number of cavalry units.

For example, Li Yunlong's cavalry battalion...

Of course, the brigade commander only left him a cavalry company, mainly because the independent regiment could not support a battalion of cavalry...

Moreover, even the wealthy Yankees are also using cavalry pigs on the Pacific battlefield. For example, the 26th Cavalry Regiment defeated the Japanese 65th Brigade by cavalry charges.

It's just that the Yankee is not equipped with a saber, but uses an American Iai, which is a handjob...

What really ended the era of cavalry was actually the development of the automobile industry, which was able to produce vehicles with stronger power and cross-country performance, as well as the reduction of the size of the army, so that every soldier could rely on cars or infantry fighting vehicles for mobile operations.

So far, steel has replaced animal power, and roaring motors have replaced the beating heart.

Therefore, in today's Han Dynasty, a large number of farms with a large area per capita are established in the north, which can not only increase food production, but also firmly occupy the land, realizing the true meaning of the ancestral land. Harvesting a steady stream of the best quality soldiers is really killing many birds with one stone!
And Lu Shizhi, who participated in the whole cultivation order, even though he vaguely understood this, but out of his uncle's dignity, he still said loudly:
"Then it's too expensive. Just a few pieces of rotten wood and scraps of iron cost ten thousand dollars a set. Why don't you go grab it? I'll say the number, five thousand dollars a set, plus a five-year warranty!"

Profiteer!No wonder the Lu family couldn't stay in Shanfu... Liu Ying puffed her cheeks and secretly got angry.

On the other side, Lu Shizhi suddenly felt a little hairy on his back, and felt that there were pairs of knife-like eyes staring at him.

So he looked around, and sure enough, the group of nobles who were planning to invest money to expand the agricultural machinery factory and make a harvester for each household stared at him with piercing eyes, showing displeasure!

After all, cutting off people's money is like killing their parents. Lu Shi cut off half of their psychologically expected income with a touch of lip service...

"What are you looking at me for?" Lu Shizhi was bewildered.

"If you don't know how to speak, you don't need to talk!" Lu Gong gave a heavy blow to his crutches, kicked Lu Shizhi away, and said with a smile on his face, "Children are ignorant, everyone, go on, go on..."

A 40-year-old child, hehe... Liu Ying squeezed out a characteristic smirk, revealing eight white teeth like jade: "What my uncle said is not unreasonable."

"A machine worth [-] yuan is indeed very expensive. Many common people cannot afford this price, and the harvester is something that benefits the country and the people. Therefore, I plan to introduce a new sales method, which is to rent and sell."

"Specifically, it is to set up an agricultural machinery trading company to purchase agricultural equipment such as heavy-duty plows, columbine carts, threshing machines, and harvesters in bulk, and then lease them to farmers when the farming is busy."

"In this way, farmers with financial difficulties can also enjoy the convenience of technological development, and do not need to pay for the maintenance of agricultural machinery!"

"Of course, if you are worried that you won't be able to use it during the busy season, you can rent it for a long time. If you are satisfied with the use, you can even buy the agricultural equipment you have used at a discounted price!"

Although those nobles don't quite understand why Liu Ying did this, and they don't know the meaning of many terms.

But they are clear about one thing, that is, Liu Ying has never done anything at a loss, and many operations that seem to lose all money can always end up with a lot of money in the end!
Such as railways.

Everyone was not optimistic at the beginning, thinking that this was Liu Ying's whimsical idea, but they didn't expect that it is hard to find a ticket now, and the market for railway bonds is very hot, even more sought-after than the original Iwami Yinshan!

And Lu Shizhi, an internal historian, can easily agree to the relocation order and the relocation of the high-pollution workshop. The most important factor is that the internal history government has a large number of original railway bonds!

Even if the population is reduced and the industry is relocated, the income of the Naishifu will not be affected at all, and even not only will it not be affected, but it will have a considerable increase compared to before!

This point can be seen from the fact that the per capita frequency of visits to brothels by the officials of the Neishi Prefecture has more than doubled, and that the counties around Chang'an City are currently patrolling at night, and the number of law enforcement officers acted by vicious teenagers has also increased by [-]%. !
Therefore, it doesn't matter whether they understand Liu Ying's intentions or not, the important thing is to go home quickly to withdraw the money, and then subscribe for the internal pre-issued bonds!

As for Mao Shizhi and others, they were thinking about another thing.

That is the reclamation order, why is it only applicable to Guanzhong people?

Kanto people, aren't they human?
So they stared at Liu Ying, ready to talk about it.

They are herdsmen on behalf of the sky, and they are also regarded as the parents and officials of one side of the people. Naturally, they have to give certain benefits to the people in the area under their jurisdiction.

Who doesn't have a few poor relatives?
Haoyou's House also has side branches that can't share the land, don't they?

....................................

Nanshan.

Light clouds come out of Xiu, and tired birds return to their nests.

After Liu Ying finished the press conference and sent Liu Taigong and Lu Gong back to the other courtyard of the villa in turn, she came to greet Lu Zhi with her hands behind her back.

"Mom, I'm fattening..."

In the next second, he froze, and the expression on his face quickly changed from frivolous to humble, full of flattery at the same time.

Without him, Lv Zhi, who was chatting and laughing with Liu Bang in the room about how to organize the Hundred Days Banquet, turned his head, his expression quickly turned from cloudy to cloudy, full of sullenness, and Liu Bang did not give in, his eyes were gloomy and terrifying.

"Father, listen to my explanation..."

"Mom, it's not what you think..."

Outside the window, Kazkaz's little loli eating melon seeds, listening to the voices in the room, slowly walked away contentedly.

A moment later, Dou Yifang came hurriedly with two little maids who were holding Liu Qi and Liu Xuan.

After entering the door, she suppressed her smile, and instead of looking at Liu Ying, who was kneeling on the ground and clutching her ears with her hands, she walked up to Liu Bang and Lu Zhi who were sitting side by side, and squatted slightly to salute.

"Father, mother..."

Lu Zhi turned his anger into joy, and stretched out his hands: "Quick, hand over those two meatballs and let me hug them..."

Liu Bang saw that Lu Zhi took the first step, so he gave Liu Ying a hard look: "Get up, don't pretend there!"

Didn't I pretend to be me, didn't you two force this... Liu Ying looked aggrieved, seeing Dou Yifang reaching out to support her, so she took a small round hand and stood up with strength.

He looked at Dou Yifang, who was full of the charm of a young woman, and his chest was bulging, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he smiled evilly.

The 'brothers and sisters' rescued him personally, such a kindness, I must do my best to repay him tonight!
