Is this a godsend?

This is because he thinks he is not dead. If it is about alchemy, Ji Fa may have done it without telling his father. It is impossible for Ji Fa to repair the Guancheng without telling Ji Chang, and bring more than 2 people out to guard one side. If Ji Chang doesn't know , What kind of Uncle Zhou is he still, let's step down early to save his life.

And it also proved the thing in turn, not that they didn't expect Queen Jiang, but that it was their purpose to be seen through by Queen Jiang. hair!

"Your Majesty...the servants have no such intentions. This must have been done by the younger brother of the servants. He has been self-willed since he was young. He does not listen to others. He is disrespectful and disrespectful. As long as the king gives an order, the servants This dog must be captured..."

"Let you go back, what should you do if you run away? No!" King Shang said lightly, "Don't even think about playing sloppy here. How many soldiers, how many people, and how many princes support you? How do I know it's not a trap?" No ventriloquism, after all, in this era, those things that know the art of listening to string songs don't exist at all, so we have to talk about it.

"Go on, if you turn against Zhou, your Ji Kao will have to fall to the ground!" Ji Kao left the royal court in a daze. The king and himself had some kind of tacit understanding, and it was just a process, but Ji Fa's move really pushed himself to a dead end, and he was not fully sure of maintaining a tacit understanding with the king of Shang.

After all, Poison Pill can explain it. Ji Fa’s move is almost one step away from rebellion. If Zhou really rebelled, King Shang felt that he would really kill him. In other words, the process of acting has become a real one. The danger of the gun's life.

This made Ji Kao's expression very real when he came out. The whole person seemed to be divorced, and Yun Zhongzi was a little surprised when he saw it, "This eldest son, there are really two tricks, even I can't see the slightest flaw, tsk, this shrewdness……"

Yun Zhongzi and Ji Kao had communicated before, and knew that he was going to visit the king of Shang as a play for others to see, and he had a tacit understanding with the king of Shang, but he didn't expect that Ji Kao's performance was impeccable, but, At this time of seizing the heir to follow the dragon, the more profound the lord is, the better he can act, and the more gratifying it is to be the assistant of the courtier.

Compared with Yun Zhongzi's relief, Lu Shang felt like a dead dog, Ji Chang also felt extremely embarrassed, and Guang Chengzi even lowered his head and dared not say anything. From a tactical point of view, Lu Shang admitted that Ji Fazhen It's very powerful, and Shang's marching route was blocked when he came up, and Da Zhou might really be able to sit back and relax.

And from a strategic point of view, the timing of Ji Fa's selection was just right, and Guang Chengzi was not a waste. They chose a season and time when Da Shang would never send troops, and built checkpoints on the most uncomfortable terrain for Da Shang. When a big business has spare power, it can completely consume the opponent by relying on this advantage.

At the same time, he also conveniently buried a big hole for Bo Yi Kao, forcing Shang Wang to have more reasons to kill Ji Kao, and also forced Ji Chang to set up Ji Fa. To be honest, if Lu Shang was Ji Fa's subject or Da Zhou It has already rebelled clearly, even if it is ecstatic, because the political, situational and strategic judgment ability of the lord is almost a few levels behind the eldest son.

However, Lu Shang is a subject of Ji Chang, and Ji Chang is not dead, nor is Cheng Zhou. The plan is to cut the middle - it's not that Ji Fa is stupid, but that the situation Ji Fa and Lu Shang hope for is completely different from the strategic goal.

If Ji Kao was killed in history and Ji Fa was his heir, then he would completely follow Lu Shang's plan. However, because Ji Kao is alive, Ji Fa's thinking direction and strategic purpose are not anti-business, but On the basis of preventing Shang from picking peaches, he killed Ji Kao and put himself in the position.

Then Ji Chang also felt that there is no problem in consolidating his three thousand miles of land and planning for future affairs. Guang Chengzi's head can think of this idea, which is considered normal, but this makes Lu Shang stand up.

This is good, as long as King Shang takes a breath, he will definitely attack Zhou, and Ji Kao will definitely become the opponent's help. With the natural danger of Tongguan, maybe Zhou can be saved, but because of Ji Kao's relationship, internal division and chaos will cause him to lose The opportunity to destroy the merchants may eventually allow Qi or other vassal states to rebel successfully.

This is still the best consequence. If Qi does not rebel and the other princes are loyal, after Shang makes up for the loss, the next step is to take advantage of the chaos in the week to get rid of Qi, and then press Cheng Zhou without any worries. Tongguan's natural dangers can be defended, but it is certain that you will not be able to get out after being beaten for decades.

But let alone Ji Chang and himself, how many decades can Ji Fa live?What about the next generation?According to Lu Shang's views on the young masters of the next generation - there is a pile of waste, their generation can't solve their problems, and the next generation can't even think about it.

Taking ten thousand steps back, if Zishou didn't make it through, he would still have heirs. I don't know if Prince Shang's heirs are wise or not, but Ji Fa's heirs are generally useless. It is said that he is the king of the mean, but in this world of great controversy, the difference between the mean and the trash is that he can jump twice before dying.

If Lu Shang was a modern person, he would probably say at this time, "I can't carry it, I have four holes in one leg, I really can't move it!"

The Magical History of Burst:

Cry Royal Court:

After testing and offering the alchemy again, the king suspected it, so he ordered the alchemist to all his officials to say: "Maybe (it is someone's meaning) to poison." After being shocked by the test, he visited Zhong Nanxian, who said: "Poison, you can't offer it."Binding himself to pay homage to the king of Shang, weeping and panicking.

The king also said that the establishment of the Jin Dynasty, this week wants to rebel?Exam panic, can not answer.Seeing that he was at a loss, the king was lenient, and he howled and said: "This person has committed a crime. Please punish him. Don't conquer the land of Zhou, don't kill his younger brothers. If the king refuses, he will be ordered to retreat. The test is like a lost soul, and his face is pale."

Zhong Nanxian said: "Young master is the most filial piety, but the young master does not care about the safety of his elder brother, only for the sake of wealth and honor for a while, and one person's gains and losses, it is not a clear master."

[PS2]

Some people say that the following historical records are spoilers, just kidding!How could it be a spoiler!If the historical records are true, where did the unofficial history come from~ lol.

Nuo, isn’t that the end of the story~ Maybe the general result is the same on the surface, but the process is quite different~ laugh.

For example, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang revolted, just kidding, they did revolt, the Qin law was indeed strict, and the peasants really couldn’t survive and revolted, but it’s definitely not that they would be killed simply because of the heavy rain——Qin law didn’t fucking have that strip!

It is more likely that you bring your own dry food for military service, and Qin Lv will not kill you if the heavy rain misses the deadline, but he will not provide food and grass for the time you delay-then the problem comes, you put the food on the road After eating, go to the construction site to do heavy physical work, and don’t care about the food—what do you think is the probability of you surviving?

However, do you dare to record this real reason?Who the hell doesn't know, your big man's corvee is also like this, and there is such a shitty thing about land annexation that makes you unable to survive, who the hell really dare to say it?

[PS3]

The amount of two chapters, in addition, the small single room in the hospital is really good~_(:з)∠)_

Chapter 59 Helping the Nine Plows

Food, since 4000 years ago, is the top priority of a dynasty and rule, and spring plowing is the key to ensuring food production. As the spring snow melts, even though the weather is still cold, the savage farmers will carry their farm tools to the ground one by one.

As mentioned above, land reclamation needs to be very troublesome to plan roots, remove thorns, remove stones, and use plows and simple tools to remove wood piles and old roots one by one. simple things.

Especially when sub-recipients let them rotate crops and intercropping, it is necessary to use tools like shovels and wooden farm tools similar to hoes to smash the hardened soil clods that have been hardened after a winter and last year's planting.

Then use a smaller hoe to pine, loosen the soil a little bit, and then form a ditch. This process requires countless labor, especially because of the relationship between wooden farm tools. To break it, use a small hoe to loosen it, and then rake it softly. Of course, if you have a sharp iron hoe, you don't have to worry about it, and it can basically be in place at one time.

If tough weeds and weeds are needed, they need to be pulled up by hand, and the remaining grass roots should be cleaned carefully, so that the spring plowing is more than half completed, and then the field needs to be supplemented with fertilizer, usually with plant ash, and now there is more manure .

Mix the fermented manure and plant ash and cover it on the ground, then use a plow or a manpower hoe to fully mix the fertilizer and soil, and then dry the field to further volatilize the harmful substances inside and eliminate the eggs to avoid burning seedlings .

After going back and forth, most of the spring has passed like this. The strong laborers have to get up and go out every day before dawn, and walk dozens of miles to their fields. Inside, take out the yellow rice dumpling prepared by the woman at home, and gobble it up with the water in the ditch, and prepare to repair the seal.

That is, the low wall beside the field to prevent animals from running in. Next, after working for a long time, I still need to go to Wangtian to work. When it is almost completely dark, I can return home exhausted and go to bed after dinner.

Under such heavy labor, people can't even speak with much interest, and people's emotions seem to be suppressed to the extreme. Therefore, under the small-scale peasant economy, why is it difficult to truly enlighten the people's wisdom, and why only a small number of people can read books? Willing to read, this kind of labor is the main reason.

Do you expect most people to learn words and whatnot when most people are exhausted after a day's worth of work and don't want to think about anything?Especially since these things do not bring immediate help at all.

Even after a thousand years of productivity development, only the whole village and the whole clan can support a scholar, and this is based on the fact that a scholar can become an official through the imperial examination, and then the common people and the clan can ascend to heaven—in essence, but It's just putting the pressure on others.

Therefore, if one day cannot solve the problem that agricultural production occupies the main production activities and production time, one day one day one should not think about the so-called enlightenment of people's wisdom, let alone get people to read and write, engage in research and invention, and even develop business. ——Without consumption power and sufficient surplus materials, business is rootless water!

Over the past dynasties, the suppression of commerce was not due to their short-sightedness. On the contrary, it was precisely because of their long-term vision and knowing the disastrous consequences of doing so that they chose to give up the short-term interests of commercial development and choose the long-term interests of stable agricultural production.

Of course, when high-yield crops are introduced and there is no need to tie most people to the land, there is no need to continue to restrain them. For example, in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, we should vigorously develop industry, commerce and industrial technology production. However, Prior to this, this was not a strategy of enriching the country and strengthening the people, but a standard strategy of subjugation.

Moreover, industry and commerce itself must rely on two things, sufficiently developed agriculture, so that there will be surplus population to work in handicraft workshops, and sufficiently developed transportation, so that more goods can be transported and transported, and at the same time, necessary resources can be obtained through commercial trade and survival supplies.

In order to vigorously develop business, it is necessary to ensure two things, strong enough force to prevent caravans from being hijacked and business roads broken, and strong enough international status and influence to avoid economic sanctions.

If it is necessary to rely on food from the outside world or merchants to maintain the basic operation of the country, it is either the scene of how Guan Zhong used white deerskin to play people to death, or the scene of Tian's replacing Qi.

Therefore, agriculture is the most basic foundation. Travelers who try to build sky gardens directly from the third floor without laying a solid foundation can ignore all kinds of factors unless they are living in a novel with themselves as the main character. Or simply have system assistance, otherwise I don't know if we can build a thousand-year empire, but the country's subjugation within three to five years can be seen.

Therefore, Zishou is now laying the groundwork. Emphasis on agriculture is a characteristic that the Shang kings of the past dynasties did not have. The view of the Shang kings in the past dynasties is probably that it is enough to survive the famine. As for other expenses, it all depends on robbing. !

Otherwise, how do you think that Dashang’s territory has expanded so many times, and it is delivered by charging phone bills?

However, when it comes to Zishou, it is almost impossible to grab it, and it is almost impossible to grab it, so it can only be hard work and make up for the backward agricultural courses one by one. You can see that Xiqi is a typical example.

Xiqi's handicraft industry is underdeveloped, or in other words, the handicraft industry in the surrounding countries is not as developed as the merchants, but they mainly rely on agricultural production. At this time, the development area and production capacity of agriculture are obviously higher than one head.

This is not good, they used to be barbarians, robbing casually, to put it bluntly, they were planting for businessmen, but now they are not all barbarians, and if the fight continues, Zishou feels that he can't find a suitable nepotism relative to come It's closed.

Then you can only make up this class on your own. From the current point of view, the technical class can be regarded as making up. The plant was abolished, etc., but it still raised the unit output to the forefront of this era.

But in terms of scale, it is very difficult to get up. After all, for land reclamation, it takes three years for a good place, five years for a middle place, and ten years for a bad place. You have to work hard. Look at the barbarians in Chu. The development next to their own home, let alone reclaiming wasteland, they have not even cleared up the land that can be reclaimed, and they are still digging silt, dredging waterways, and draining water.

Wait until the water is almost drained before you can log and burn the wasteland, and then you have to fight against poisonous insects, poisonous weeds, miasma, and plague, and finally you can completely turn the barren land into farmland, which is also what Taiyi is doing.

To be honest, if Zishou knew what he was doing, regardless of the positions of the two parties, he felt that no matter whether this guy was the real Xiantian Wutai or not, at least for Chu people, he deserved the title of Taiyishen, Mo There are many foreign nobles in the capital, many who have contributed to the country, and some who have gone to the land in person, but have you seen anyone who is willing to take people to the wild to open up wasteland and establish civilization?

There is no future in hunting by fish!This is the conclusion Taiyi came to after collecting information from Shang, especially Dongyi, who was hammered by the profit of fish and salt, and once again thought that fishing and hunting had no future. Economy is the advanced productivity and trend of this era.

Don't laugh, maybe in the eyes of future generations, these things should be eliminated immediately, even if it is a day later, as if the anxiety caused by modern humiliation will swallow them up one day later.

However, in this era, compared with fishing and hunting, which depend on the sky for food, the farming and small-scale farming economy that can stabilize the income of food and cloth and maintain self-sufficiency in family production are really advanced productive forces, and there are at least a thousand years before the expiration date. .

No matter how powerful aliens and magic weapons are, Zi Shou has never seen anyone who can conjure food, wood, and straw for himself, or even a few that can be used for production. The closest thing to productivity is nothing but It can create flames, which is equivalent to a flamethrower. It saves everyone a little fuel and energy when burning land and rocks.

And because there is only such a one, the use time is no more than a few minutes longer than the fuel tank of a flamethrower, and it is not enough for the stove.

Now the merchants have opened up a little bit of new wasteland, and they can start growing food. The land is roughly divided into two parts, that is, planting in rotation, which is obviously different from the two-field system in Europe. Simply put, there is no complete release of wasteland. .

It was not until the Song and Yuan Dynasties that the farmers of later generations figured it out a little bit. If it weren't for the batch of crops with poor domestication and hybrid improvement at this time, this agricultural reform would be enough for the king of Shang to directly enter the Shennong Temple and fight with him. The wife's ancestors sat in a row, because it means that the agricultural production is more than enough to support the people at this time.

Unfortunately, due to the embarrassing output and the agricultural lessons that the previous generations of Shang kings skipped, Zishou did not have so many seeds, land and farm tools, and even did not have so many serfs due to too much manpower consumed by crop rotation. So far I've only seen some results.

The order of planting after Zishou’s improvement is roughly like this. Among the two lands, one is named flat land by Zishou, and the other is named as good land. And base fertilizer work, enough fertile land.

Sow wheat and peas in March, harvest wheat, beans, and millet in June, and harvest beans and millet in September and October. The land south of the Yellow River is still warm enough to plant wheat now, and harvest wheat overnight in winter. The ground was completely squeezed dry, clean, and there was no fart left.

Of course, wasteland is regarded as the most inferior land, and can only be planted according to the method of inferior land, that is, planting peas and grass in March, planting soybeans in June, harvesting beans in September, and harvesting beans in October. Start digging, weeding, bury plant ash to supplement potassium fertilizer, pull out retting manure and pond mud paste, until the wasteland fertility is slowly replenished, it can be regarded as flat land.

That is to say, sow millet and peas in March, harvest millet and beans in June, sow beans and millet, harvest beans and millet in September and October, continue plowing in September and October, replenish ash, and cultivate the land.

Basically, flat land and the lowest grade of land are mainly cultivated land. The harvest yield is basically a matter of fate. After all, Zishou really can’t find chemical fertilizers to use, but good land is really good. The potential has been squeezed out, and even such things as wheat are forced to be planted in the south of the Yellow River. You know, in a few years, you will have to go to the south of the Huai River to do this.

Planting wheat in good land is also a new order obtained after observation. In the past, he was based on the principles of local farmers and old farmers, so he didn’t know what to plant. However, after observation, he found that they really didn’t know, just like before. As I said, after a busy day, people feel sleepy after returning home, who the hell has the time to observe carefully.

Besides, for farmers in the early days of agriculture, most of them really depended on God. If the harvest is not good, it is the destiny. They will not observe the crops in too much detail. On the contrary, in terms of astronomical and climate observations A lot of effort has been put in, after all, good weather is the key.

In other words, in early agriculture, water was the most important part, but in modern agriculture, water, fertilizers, and temperature are actually controllable to a certain extent, so seeds are more important. The evolution of agriculture is actually about water. The process of gradually mastering the above four conditions of fertilizer, fertilizer, temperature, and planting is at the beginning of four independent, for example, the agriculture of the Shang Dynasty is like this.

Now that Zishou managed to make the water more stable, he naturally used his brains on fertilizer. As for the mild planting, there is really no way. To put it bluntly, he knows what millet is and didn't treat it as a weed It's all thanks to Empress Jiang.

The temperature can’t be helped. The cold wave is coming soon. Modern people can use greenhouses, greenhouses, and mulch to keep warm. The Shang Dynasty had no choice but to move south and change the crops and cycle. The new crop cycle is not of this era. A person's lifespan and knowledge can be explored in a short period of time.

It is also impossible for them to explore, because this kind of natural disaster generally only lasts for one or two generations, and it gets warmer again. In contrast, they believe that it is a disaster from heaven.

After observation, Zishou found that barley consumes more fertility than millet, and the yield is higher on the land that has been cultivated, laid with basal fertilizer, and planted a large number of legumes in rotation, so the serfs and savages are required When plowing the king's field, the good land is first planted with wheat.

However, beans are indispensable from beginning to end, no matter where you are, and bean rice soup is the main food in this year. This is not a modern person who can ask "why don't you eat soybeans for three meals a day".

"Steel plow? Are you serious? What are you going to pull?" Xiao Lian looked at the steel plow that Zi Shou made out, a little dazed. Moreover, you string a string of plowshares together to become the tractor of later generations. It looks like this, don't you know that the rotary tiller is not like this?

"I can't make rotary tillage blades, so it's also possible to make a tandem plow?"

"But how do you support this kind of thing, and what are you planning to pull?" Xiao Lian was dumbfounded, did you dig out a tractor from somewhere?

"As long as there are enough oxen, it can still be pulled. Besides, I can barely support it." Zishou said that only the plowshares are made of steel, and the rest are made of wood. With this weight, he can still support it.

Facts have proved that he can really support it, and the speed of opening the ground can be said to be very fast, but the plowshare is broken very fast, because he is a rookie, and the steel plow can't stand it. Shaking his head straight, he asked the serf to disassemble his tandem plowshare and rework it several times.

Of course, most of the time, Dawang's plowing is a symbolic meaning, and everyone doesn't think there is any problem with his cooking or flower work. These days, it is necessary to do some flower work to make the king appear unusual. This form was recorded—Shang Wang was able to support nine plows—as for the issue of rework of serfs and damage to expensive steel plowshares, everyone tacitly did not mention it.

Anyway, it's not his own serfs, nor his own iron, the King of Shang's own stuff, he can use it as he likes, as long as he doesn't ask everyone to apportion it.

"Well, it's almost there, let's put the water on."

"Huh!?" Everyone watched in amazement as King Shang opened the irrigation canal with a hoe, and the clear irrigation water quickly poured into the field until it was submerged in the back of the foot before blocking it. What are you doing?Destroy the fields?Most of the Shang nobles are from the north, and they don't even know what rice looks like, let alone such things as paddy fields.

However, Zishou knows that he has experienced a little rice planting process in his hometown, and it takes a lot of exploration to get it now, so he didn't promote it, but just took an acre of land to try it first, and besides, there are not many rice seeds. .

"Okay, let's go back." Why didn't you find someone from Chudi?Because their rice-growing techniques are cruder than those of Zishou, they are able to separate the barnyard grass from the rice, which is already a technological innovation. As for irrigation and drainage, drying the fields, topdressing, etc., just wash and sleep.

Of course, Zishou doesn't have much hope for the rice yield, which is not much different from the dog's tail in this year. He just plans to take advantage of the last warm period to try the rice process and breeding, because in a few years, agriculture will inevitably go south. If you move to the south, you have to face the relatively dense water system in the south, the acidic soil, and the psychological preparation for the sharp drop in barley production.

[Barley will never be harvested in acidic soil, and the acidic soil in the south is generally acidic, and it needs to be neutralized with plant ash and lime]

And if you want to move agriculture to the south, you must figure out in advance the planting methods suitable for planting in the south. It will be too late to dig the huts until the shit is coming.

[PS]

I found that most of the farming articles seem to have never really farmed ~ lol.

In addition, the modern people who said "why don't you eat soybeans for three meals a day" have also seen it, and their remarks are: soybeans are not food; soybeans cannot be a staple food; do you eat soybeans?

I'm afraid that the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations would not dare to fart this kind of rainbow~ Soybeans are not food?A violent theory that no Yankee dared to release.

[PS2]

Barley does consume more nitrogen fertilizer than millet. Of course, the consumption of modern high-yield millet and barley is not much different, about 0.2-0.3 kg of pure nitrogen per [-] kg. Moreover, barley is more sensitive to acidic soil, so generally it is It is planted in northern regions, and rarely planted along water and coastal areas.

Once again, don’t let Xiaobai ask such stupid questions as to where wheat came from before wheat was introduced into China!

Chapter 60 Mutual domestication

Modu began to say that the king of Shang did not go mad this time, but went completely crazy. There were two reasons. Fish, frogs and loaches were put in the paddy fields, and weeds were even planted in the paddy fields (cigu, also known as Cigu).

Some of the paddy fields who have been to fight the barbarians in Chu have seen it occasionally, but they have never seen people like Shuicheng, let alone planting weeds in the paddy fields. This kind of weeds is very common in ponds and watersides, and the barbarians in Chu almost I don't do much farming, and mostly live off this thing, and the roots are edible.

The second one is that the king of Shang made a lot of wooden pots filled with water, put them in a greenhouse, and then sowed seeds in it, densely planted, I don’t know what they are doing, the nobles have never seen this kind For the scene, if there are still people who can barely see the general idea of ​​mushrooms and paddy fields, then no one really understands the second thing Shang Wang is doing.

You said seedling?People these days know how to raise seedlings with a hammer. After sowing, waiting for growth is the mainstream. As for Zishou, he has never seen the basic idea of ​​raising seedlings by warming the house in advance, and then transplanting them into the field.

As for his purpose of planting shiitake mushrooms is very simple, not for the harvest, it takes more than five months to harvest, and there is no way to rotate crops, but it can be used for weeding, it is a kind of weed, wait a while After the moon shoots, they are transplanted to irrigation ditches and ponds, and after five months, they can harvest an extra grain.

Anyway, it's just a piece of land. In terms of the number of serfs in the hands of the King of Shang, although there is a lot of work, it doesn't look like a waste of money.

"Isn't there any supernatural spell that can quickly germinate and plant the land?"

"Do you think there is such a thing that Yiren still needs to attach to human beings instead of building a country by itself?" Xiao Lian rolled his eyes, looking at Zishou who was watching the almost unmoving rice seeds in the greenhouse.

These seeds were obtained from Chudi. I sent envoys to collect rice seeds before, and they are all here. Zishou is going to crossbreed randomly by hand to try his luck. Anyway, these days are at the level of high-grade dogtail grass. He was satisfied with the lower limit of southern rice in the Tang and Song Dynasties.

After simple washing and screening with light salt water, all the seeds have been sown in wooden trays, waiting to germinate into seedlings, and he uses standard dense planting, and the concentration of salt water is actually not well controlled, because salt is a thing There is no way to control the quality, so the effect of screening seeds and removing pests and diseases may be relatively mediocre.

Of course, the yield of wild rice may not have increased much at the moment, but the ability to handle diseases and insect pests must be full. After all, there are no two-legged animals like humans in the wild. Irrigation and drainage treatment is also carried out to make it so comfortable.

Without the ability to resist lodging, insect pests, and metal pollution, it has long been extinct in the wild. Of course, the price is that the yield is not very different from that of foxtail grass. Maybe it is not as large as bamboo.
