Three Kingdoms in a box

Chapter 54 What will happen if you plant a rice in the box?
After leaving the Qian family compound, Zhang Jiao contacted Li Yu and asked: "Xianzun, the Qian family is very bad. The fifty acres of land given to us is the lowest-grade farmland with low fertility." The grain output is very low. If we want fifty acres of such fields, it would be better to have ten acres of high-quality fields."

Li Yu laughed when he heard this and said: "It's okay, I have a way to turn low-grade fields into high-grade fields and solve the problem of insufficient fertility!"

"Ah, is it true or not, does the Immortal Master still have such magical powers?"

Zhang Jiao was overjoyed when he heard that it could reverse the problem of insufficient fertility between lower-grade and upper-grade fields. In Zhang Jiao's opinion, this was no different from an immortal method, and it was definitely the highest level of immortal magic.

Li Yu smiled and curled up the corners of his mouth. Before chemical fertilizers came out, we often heard the terms "upper-class fields" and "lower-class fields". But since the introduction of chemical fertilizers, the so-called "upper-class fields" and "lower-class fields" have become the same. I rarely hear about it, because chemical fertilizers almost fill the fertility gap.

Therefore, although there is still a slight gap in yield between the fields, it is far less than the several times difference in yield between the upper-class fields and the lower-class fields in this era.

"Immortal Lord, who will cultivate these fields?"

Li Yu said: "Well, these fifty acres of land are used as reward land in our teaching. In the future, they will be used as rewards for those who have made meritorious services in the teaching. And those who cultivate the land in the teaching only need to pay [-]% tax." Just rent it.”

"Thirty percent tax?"

"That's right, it's [-]% of the tax, and as long as they pay it to the church, the church will help them pay the tax to the government!"

"Ah, Immortal Lord, we will lose all profit in this case. I am afraid that the [-]% tax is just enough to pay the tax to the government!"

When Li Yu heard this, he smiled and said: "That is calculated based on the tax burden on the lower-grade fields. If the lower-grade fields grow the same grain as the upper-grade fields, then we will still make a lot of profit."

"Besides, since the land is used as a reward, it must benefit the church members, otherwise it wouldn't be considered a reward!"

After hearing this, Zhang Jiao said: "If it is true as the Immortal Lord said, then we will indeed still make money, and it will also keep everyone motivated!"

Li Yu smiled and said: "That's right. This will also be the rule of the church in the future. All the land acquired will belong to the church, and then it will be allocated to specific personnel for planting. We will collect taxes and give it to the government. Pay taxes.”

After Li Yu said this, Zhang Jiao nodded in understanding. The reason why Li Yu did this was very simple, that is, he was subtly diluting the Taiping cult members' sense of belonging to the Han Dynasty.

They farmed the land of the sect, paid taxes to the sect, and lived in the areas ruled by the sect. After a long time, they could still remember that they were still the subjects of the Han Dynasty.

And when the world collapses and the various warlords are in charge of their own affairs, there will be no other troubles in their own territories.

This is Li Yu's purpose.

Although fifty acres of land was small, it laid a good foundation for Li Yu's political power plan. Of all the land that belongs to the church, the church members only have the right to cultivate it and have no right to buy and sell it. Isn't this the nationalization of land?

"By the way, Zhang Jiao, find a relatively remote area among the fifty acres of land and leave one acre for me. I will be useful. After hearing this, Zhang Jiao immediately responded, but he was still a little curious and asked: "Immortal Lord What use can I make of this acre of low-grade farmland? If the Immortal Lord needs it, I still have ten acres of fertile land at home. They are all the best and upper-grade fields. The Immortal Lord can take it. "

Zhang Jiao said to Li Yu. Li Yu smiled and said, "No, I just need an ordinary field. By the way, paddy fields are best."

After hearing this, Zhang Jiao quickly agreed.

After communicating with Zhang Jiao, Li Yu turned around and went out to Grandpa Wang's house next door. Grandpa Wang was very happy to see Li Yu coming and asked Li Yu what happened. Li Yu said: "Grandpa Wang, do you have any fertilizer? Give me some." A little bit is enough.”

After hearing this, Grandpa Wang smiled and said: "Yes, there is still half a bag of compound fertilizer in the warehouse. If you want it, you can take it."

Li Yu was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately packed some in plastic bags.

Then I saw that Grandpa Wang had planted some late rice seedlings in his yard, which were reserved for looking for seedlings in the fields. After the first batch of rice seedlings were transplanted, the rice seedlings sometimes died due to various reasons. Or other reasons, leading to the reduction of rice seedlings.

At this time, manual replanting is required. Therefore, people who grow rice in rural areas usually leave some rice seedlings after transplanting the rice seedlings.

However, in recent years, rice varieties have been improved, drought and flood resistance have been fully stacked, so the probability of replanting is not high.

But people of the older generation like Grandpa Xiang Wang are used to leaving some rice seeds, which is an advantage for Li Yu.

Li Yu looked at the rice seedlings for a long time and did not take them directly. Instead, he told Grandpa Wang that he might need some rice seedlings in a few days.

Hearing this, Grandpa Wang smiled and said: "Whatever this has, use it as you like. If there is nothing else, this rice seedling can be gone."

Li Yu was very happy when he heard this. Now that the rice seedlings were solved, he would have the opportunity to experiment with his ideas. Li Yu wanted to experiment with what would happen if he planted real rice in a box. Would that be possible? A miracle was born, a huge rice plant that towered into the sky and blocked out the sun, fulfilling Grandpa Yuan Longping’s wish to enjoy the coolness under the rice!

In the next few days, Li Yu mainly did several things. The first was to provide rain for the Qian family, in exchange for fifty acres of low-grade farmland. The second was to mix compound fertilizer with water to provide water to the low-grade farmland that was about to die. Waiting for the rice seedlings in the field to rain fertilizer.

Then the seedlings that looked like they were about to die in these inferior fields suddenly came to life miraculously. This made the Qian family and his son angry. This land used to be theirs, but now it belongs to Zhang Jiao, and the seedlings in the field Still alive, this is simply more uncomfortable than them losing money!
The military camp has been successfully constructed after several days of construction. Within the tall steel city walls, there are rows of cement rooms, and in the middle of the cement rooms there is a huge stove with a beer bottle cap on it. Big iron pot.

After Li Yu's careful thinking, he realized that it was impossible for him to guarantee feeding on time, so Li Yu grabbed a small handful of rice for the villain's military camp as a reserve grain and asked them to cook and eat it by themselves. However, the rice was too big and their clay pots It couldn't be cooked. If it was broken into small pieces, it would require many small pots of theirs, so Li Yu used beer bottle caps to make a large iron pot for them.

The appearance of this iron pot will definitely leave a mark on the history books of the villain in the future. This iron pot is at least hundreds of years older than the Song Dynasty.

It is conceivable that future archaeologists will discover during archeology that iron pots have already appeared in the late Han Dynasty, but what does the word "snowflakes" that can be seen faintly on the iron pots mean?
