Win the Ding 1617

However, according to Wang Sangongzi, an expert from the Sky Thieves Institute, this happens to be the correct path for economic development.According to his theory, all the red line of 18 billion mu of arable land can be thrown into the ocean, and the land can be used for construction, industry, and cash crop cultivation.As long as we have money, are we afraid that we will not be able to buy food in the international market?If there is a day when people stop selling us food, it must be because we have done something bad and made them angry.

However, the method he described was tested by our ancestors hundreds of years ago with their lives and blood. This road cannot be followed!

Since the early Ming Dynasty, people have been looking for new sources of food, and it is against this historical background that works such as Materia Medica for Relief from Famines appeared.There are also some people who are studying the so-called "avoidance method" in order to survive for a few days in the case of unbearable hunger, but these are not long-term solutions, so after the middle and late Ming Dynasty, it was native to America. Food crops such as sweet potatoes, corn and potatoes were introduced to China.After these crops were introduced into China, they expanded rapidly, spread throughout the country, and became important food for people in many places, especially in mountainous areas.The Chen family in Fujian and their sons were enshrined in a temple by their hometown because they stole sweet potatoes from Luzon controlled by the Spaniards and successfully introduced them to Fujian.However, the introduction of sweet potatoes and corn did not establish a benign farming system like the turnips and clover introduced in the West. It only established a temporary balance between food production and clothing raw material production. It is temporary because as the population increases, new imbalances emerge.The introduction of sweet potatoes and corns not only increased food supply, but also accelerated population growth.

Archaeologist Xia Nai pointed out: "The population of our country was close to 6000 million at the end of the Western Han Dynasty.... At the peak of the Ming Dynasty, it was still only 6000 million and zero.... The war decreased in the early Qing Dynasty, but by the sixth year of Qianlong (that is, in 1741) it reached more than 15 million,... Daoguang increased to more than [-] million in [-] years..., such a population surge, although it is related to the expansion of the territory, the development of land, and the change of taxation... ...are related, but it may be more related to the import of sweet potatoes and maize native to the Americas in the late Ming Dynasty." Therefore, the introduction of sweet potatoes and corns cannot solve the contradiction between China's population growth and food supply, and the problem of food and clothing has not been caused by Their introduction has been resolved.

Since increasing varieties cannot meet the people's demand for food, can I make a fuss about planting technology?As it turns out, it works.However, not very useful.

The interplanting, mulberry fishpond and other technologies mentioned above are within the category of multi-cooking.The development of the multi-cropping system and the improvement of land utilization only partially compensated for the reduction in grain production caused by the competition for rice fields and cotton for grain fields, but did not eliminate the contradiction between population growth and food supply. On the contrary, due to the lack of capital and technology input, the development of multi-cropping system will definitely increase the demand for labor force. This is one aspect. On the other hand, the development of multi-cropping system also affects the development of animal husbandry. , there used to be a so-called "throwing cattle" custom, that is, after the rice was harvested, the cattle were allowed to graze in the fields by themselves. It is inconvenient to graze various crops such as vegetables, vegetables, etc. Song Yingxing made such a calculation in the late Ming Dynasty, "If there are cattle for ten acres, and those who have no cattle use hoes and work hard for half, since there are no cattle, then autumn After harvesting, there is no danger of returning to grazing in the fields. And all kinds of bean, wheat, hemp, and vegetables can be planted one after another, so as to repay the semi-barren acres. Simply banned, this kind of practice is bound to cause animal tension, thus increasing the burden on the labor force.This is one of the reasons for the increase in the rural population.And the increase of population puts forward more requirements for food supply, which requires finding new food sources. Corn and sweet potato are introduced and popularized under such circumstances.

Although the utilization rate of land has been improved by introducing new crops, improving the planting system, and developing the multi-cropping system, the agricultural labor productivity has shown a downward trend.The main reason is the retrogression of farm implements.

As early as the Han Dynasty, some advanced agricultural technology inventions appeared in China, such as the Daitian method and the columbine cart. These inventions were all adapted to the needs of large-scale land production.It is similar in principle to some farm tools used in the improvement of modern European agriculture, but these farm tools did not work well in China.The reason is that the population increase caused by the agricultural and mulberry structure has made the number of large landowners less and less, and the possibility and feasibility of adopting advanced technology and equipment has become less and less.Therefore, some advanced technologies and equipment are often not popularized and promoted, such as Daitian method, coupling plow and columbine cart, which were only tried in the vicinity of the capital of the Western Han Dynasty and in some remote areas, but not on a larger scale. Promotional use.Not only that, but in some places there is even a phenomenon of technological regression.

The emergence of the Jiangdong plow in the Tang Dynasty and the prevalence of the iron pole in the Ming and Qing Dynasties are typical examples. Why was the advanced Jiangdong plow largely replaced by the backward iron pole in the Ming and Qing Dynasties?Is Jiangdong plow not suitable for Jiangdong's natural conditions?No, because the Jiangdong plow was the first to adapt to the local soil cultivation conditions.So, why did the Jiangdong plow not be used in the place where the Jiangdong plow was invented? The reason is that the population growth and food supply imbalance in the Jiangnan area caused by the mulberry competition for rice fields and cotton competition for grain fields has caused some places that could have been used for grazing to be used for grazing. It was reclaimed as farmland, and some of the farmland that could be used for grazing after harvest was also planted with crops, which led to the shrinkage of livestock and the lack of cattle power.The increase in population made it possible to use iron poles, but the shrinkage of animal husbandry made cattle plowing short of cattle, so manpower had to be used instead of cattle power, and iron poles replaced cattle plowing.This further increases the demand for labor force. According to Song Yingxing's estimate, "If there are cattle, ten acres will be provided for, and those who have no cattle will use a hoe and work hard for half of it." This is a relatively conservative estimate.Generally speaking, one ox can equal the strength of seven to ten people, so one less ox will need to supplement seven to ten labors accordingly.This has plunged into a new round of population increase.

In addition to the degradation of agricultural tools and the reduction in the use of animal power, the greater impact is that various water conservancy facilities cannot be built because the land cannot be managed on a large scale, and irrigation has become a problem again.

What?Some judges said that these things are too obscure to understand?Then, at the risk of being 404, the unscrupulous author explained it in the not-too-distant era, even many people have experienced it, and it is still boasted by countless literary works.

A man from Hunan once said a passage that was included in the primary school text Zhu Kezhen. The crop yield depends on various factors such as water, light, fertilizer, seeds, climate, tools, etc. The role of people is to strive for the best of these factors.In short, as long as anyone with a little experience in farming knows a word, farming is also called serving crops.You have to get the water, fertilizer, seeds, light, tools, etc. that the crops need, and the crops will be kind to you and give you a good harvest.Only those who don't know the hardships of farming dare to talk nonsense that with enthusiasm, the yield can be doubled.Positivity is of course important, but no matter how active you are, you are serving the servants of the crops. Forget this, the crops don’t care if you are Zhang San or Li Si, the loud slap will come as soon as you say it.

In 1984, the People’s Commune was completely abolished and a plaque was held high at the 35th anniversary parade of the founding of the People’s Republic of China. Unfortunately, the national grain production decreased by 744% in the second year.You have destroyed all levels of rural grassroots organizations in the front foot, and distributed all the agricultural machinery and livestock owned by the collective. Let alone whether there are problems such as corruption and asset loss in the process, and the collective production has become a new one. The small-scale peasant economy is then euphemistically called progress.But don't think about it, from group operations to individual labor overnight, the huge changes in anti-risk ability and operating costs will kill you.It seems that we have seen many incidents of low grain prices and agricultural harm caused by swarming production.The evolution of the countryside at that stage was described in detail in the TV series "Common Life" aired on CCTV during prime time.However, I suggest that everyone read Haoran's original work, the description in it can heal the headache even more.Uh, it seems that the village that first engaged in household production contracting has not yet completely lifted itself out of poverty, and is still living by a typical halo.

Back then, while bragging about their enthusiasm, some people stopped investing in water conservancy, and even dismantled organizations that developed water conservancy on their own.In the end, no matter how loudly you brag, it can’t change the fact that the levee built on the front line of Jingjiang was built during the lifetime of the person who was rated as [-]. The most ridiculous thing is that even the last trump card of Jingjiang flood diversion is not It was built by the founding leaders of the country. What those people did was to occupy the flood channel and make it so that the supreme leader on the embankment held a trumpet to boost everyone's morale, and the supreme leader who chanted that unity is strength broke into a cold sweat.In desperation, the army left by the founding leader stepped forward, and even put out the slogan that this is Shangganling.

Fortunately, the way of heaven is repaying, and China has a reason that must be extended. In the end, the battle of Jingjiang was won, just like Shangganling where there are piles of corpses.But the supreme leader is really scared. If he does this, is he going to become his neighbor in the north?You know, Mao Xiong is our good teacher. He even told us how to die and what will happen after death.what to do?Continue blowing?In the end, the Supreme Leader and his successor decided to surrender to the Chairman, you are right.Finally, after entering the new century, the country not only exempted the national tax on imperial grain, but also began to invest huge sums of money to revitalize water conservancy, not only rebuilding reservoirs and canals, but also establishing monitoring stations.

Especially in recent years, with new rural areas, family farms, large-scale promotion of agricultural machinery, and intensive land management, the supreme leader has even proposed that China’s bowl must be filled with Chinese grain, and at the same time, it has made an unprecedented effort to focus on rural work. The restoration of grassroots organizations in rural areas has gradually made up for the gap in the past, so that we will not be pinched by the bald eagle and asked if we want to eat.

Oh, it seems to be going too far.Let's turn our attention back to this time and space!

In the original history, the development of multi-cooking system and the introduction of food crops such as sweet potatoes and corns did promote the development of agriculture, making agriculture in the Ming and Qing dynasties no matter in terms of total output, per unit area yield, or the total population supported. It seems that they have reached a level that has never been seen before.In terms of per unit yield, in the 23th century, the rice yield per hectare of cultivated land in China had reached 20 metric tons, which was the theoretically highest yield of pre-modern agricultural technology.However, with the development of urbanization in the south of the Yangtze River and the emergence of a large number of handicraft workshops, the per capita area of ​​rice fields is still shrinking.According to historical records, from the late Ming Dynasty to around 30 years after Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, the area of ​​paddy fields in Hangzhou Prefecture decreased by 79 hectares, that of Huzhou decreased by 1354 hectares, that of Jiaxing decreased by 1451 hectares, and that of Shimen County decreased by [-] hectares.At the same time, the population continued to increase. As a result, the amount of uncultivated land decreased, from more than three mu of rice fields per capita in the Hongwu period to less than two mu.reduced by nearly one-third.

Especially since Li Shouhan began to intentionally or even maliciously sell a large amount of grain and other agricultural products to Jiangnan, the acreage of grain crops in Jiangnan has dropped sharply every year at a rate visible to the naked eye.Instead, there are large tracts of mulberry forests and machine workshops.Every day, the daily food, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and other materials needed by the cities, counties and towns in various places in the south of the Yangtze River are consumed by large and small boats that shuttle back and forth in the river. The grain and rice bags and vegetable oil jars on the ship's side were moved to the warehouse by the coolies on the wharf shouting, and then sold to those who needed them through the trading shops.

Most of these grains, rice, oil, salt, etc. come from Wusongkou and Hangzhou Bay.Under Li Shouhan's conscious operation, Jiangnan has become a region that depends on imports for almost [-]% of its grain.Well, this ratio is basically the same as the current Nanbangzi Kingdom.Not to mention that the thousands of artillery pieces north of the [-]th Parallel turned Seoul into a sea of ​​flames, just the appearance of small submarines near the port channel, and how many of those cargo ships transporting grain and meat dared to risk their lives to enter the port to unload ?They are not the Soviet Red Navy, who can risk their lives and rush into the port of Stalingrad under continuous artillery fire.So, if there is another artillery fire on the [-]th parallel, Nan Bangzi's group of plastic surgeons will be most afraid.But it doesn't matter, what people pay attention to is the integrity of the body, even if they starve to death, they will not eat non-local agricultural products.

"Anyway, if you just work as a clerk for a day, you can earn two or three days of food money, and three meals a day, all of which include wine, meat, and meat. Why should we go back to the countryside and suffer the crime of facing the loess and back to the sky?" ?” Even the porters on the wharf think so, so it can be seen that the food in the south of the Yangtze River is ridiculously cheap.

It is not that no one has questioned why the food from the south is so cheap.However, the sailors from Nanzhong will not know the way to purchase and transport these grains. They only know that grain is extremely cheap in Nanzhong, and it is the lord's own business. Kind of deeds.What's more, these grains exist as ballast when emptying the ship northward, so the shipping cost is naturally extremely low.

As for the use of industrial coupons in the procurement process to harvest the aging rice that is about to expire in public welfare warehouses such as Yicang and Siwucang in various villages and towns, it is not an inside story that the sailors can know.The iron and steel produced by the coal-iron complex, the agricultural tools, ironware, and household utensils produced by various manufacturing workshops, and the delicate fine cloth and silk produced by various machine rooms can all be purchased at discounted prices with industrial coupons!A large number of old rice piled up in Siwucang's Changping warehouse for waste was purchased at a very low price in the eyes of outsiders.But what they don't know is that the small peasant economy has become extremely vulnerable to the amortized costs of joint production in the pre-industrial age.

After such a series of operations, there will be no homes in the south of the Yangtze River.Everyone put their money and energy into doing business, starting a factory, and building a machine workshop.At worst, it is also necessary to do business in a few hotels, restaurants, restaurants, warehouses, warehouses and the like.This is faster than farming money!

"Turg, don't worry." Boluo smiled happily, like a black bear who just woke up in the spring sunshine after hibernation and found a huge beehive.He patted his deputy on the shoulder, "Let's just give orders. There are people in this Jiangnan who are more familiar with the situation here than we are. If we can't find food, someone will find it."

After hearing Boluo's words, Turger relaxed his frown, "Master, what are you talking about?" He pointed downstairs with his finger.A group of people downstairs had their hair shaved, and their iron-blue scalps were exposed. The autumn wind blowing over the lake left a chill on the freshly shaved scalps.With a money rat tail on his head, a round-neck robe on his body, and standing among a group of hideous-faced Qing soldiers holding swords and sharp knives, he was smiling happily. No matter how anyone looked at it, he felt extremely strange.

"That's right, it's these people!" Boluo said very leisurely and relaxed, "They surrendered to my Qing Dynasty and made contributions to the city. It goes without saying. , then I have to do things for my Daqing good life. Otherwise, why should I support them?!"

Rao Turger is also a murderer without blinking an eye, and he couldn't help but shudder after hearing Boluo's words.This is clearly ready to kill the lackeys and stew them at any time!However, the premise is that the running dog is incapable, and cannot fetch prey for him, and cannot pounce on and bite the target for the master.

"Go! Call up that servant named Liu, and tell him that the master has an errand for him to handle!"

After a while, footsteps were heard on the stairs, and a person came up.

"Slave Liu Zanji, I have seen the two masters!"
