Chapter 642: The Conflict between Supply and Demand, Louis Xun
The autumn sunshine is no longer so harsh. On the edge of the soybean field, a group of people go up to cut the bean vines.
“First cut one acre, and after the machine is built, use the machine to cut another acre and see which one can’t sprout more.”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the land after the meal and saw that it was a piece of land. The soybeans have all turned yellow, and the land he gave is connected to this place, and you can't see the edge at a glance.
Nowadays, farming and management require the employment of a lot of manpower, some of which are long-term workers and some of which are part-time workers.
During farming and harvesting, short-term workers are used, while long-term workers are used for maintenance. The long-term workers choose young people and will slowly teach them how to read.
"As long as the difference is not too big, machinery must be used to save labor. Starting from this year, all seed bases will use machinery."
The manager also sees no end in sight. Land, this area of 50,000 acres is equivalent to an area of five kilometers by six kilometers.
If you use people to harvest, it will take 10,000 people to harvest for three days, then beat out the beans, clean the bean stalks and pods, and it can be done in ten days.
It is not easy to hire ten thousand ordinary people, not to mention there are paddy fields and cotton fields in front of them, and many purple flower fields next to them.
In the back, there are other crops, medicinal materials, fruit trees, tea trees, and greenhouses in the north.
With such calculations, it is absolutely impossible without equipment. It is equivalent to occupying social resources and hiring a group of people to work around all day, leaving less labor in other places.
"Xihe Village has enough manpower." Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at Feng Gui, who was waiting for questioning on behalf of the other twenty-one villages.
Feng Gui was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was asking himself, and quickly replied, "Your Majesty, we are tired when we are harvesting, and relaxed at other times, especially for plowing, which is enough for large animals.
We are tired. The beans should be harvested over there. We will stay in Xiaqiu Village to see the situation. If there is something useful, we will use it next year.
There are open fields and woods between the twenty-two villages. , Bamboo forest, it is impossible to connect fields to fields.
If Xiaqiu Village comes up with something, we will continue to open up wasteland, especially for harvesting. The village is really busy, and there are still lotus and chicken head rice.”
"How do you say Yichang?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked the chief again.
“It’s too late to help harvest this year, but rice can help. We are making a small rice harvester, which can go into the field to harvest rice first, and then wait for the jute to mature and then harvest jute.
Soybeans People in each village should work hard and send machines over when plowing. There is no need for people to help the plows. From now on, the large animals in each village will see if there are small plots of land that are not suitable for equipment and use them or pull carts.
You can also keep it slowly and sell it to others when the quantity increases. It will be difficult to popularize the equipment for a while, mainly because there are not enough craftsmen.”
The village leader chose to lead the entire Xuancheng County village to do it together. , to build an agricultural mechanized county.
Plowing, leveling, ridging, planting, and harvesting all use steam engines. However, transportation is not suitable. Without good wheels, the shock absorption effect is poor, so large animals are most suitable.
"Your Majesty, it is appropriateThe long way will work. "Feng Gui expressed his support.
"We know it can be done. Alas, people are still used to pull the farmland elsewhere, and Xuancheng County has become different from all other places in the world."
Zhu Yuanzhang lamented that the gap was so big that some people didn't even have livestock. Xiaqiu Village didn't use livestock at first. It was troublesome. People had to plow the land. The key was slow and not much could be plowed in a day.
Xiaqiu Village. The plowing equipment is the same as the harvesting equipment. It works twelve hours a day and can plow more than one hundred acres.
An ox can only plow two acres. If it is more, it will be too tired to bear. If the horse works for a long time. Being soaked in paddy fields, hoofs are prone to problems.
Xu Da smiled and said, "It is exactly what your Majesty said. Just like the weapon, I am confident that I will keep all the people and things when I fight Beiyuan again." Down.
How can a front-loading flintlock gun compare to a breech-loading rifled gun? A rifled gun has a front sight and a rear sight, so it can be aimed.
The range has been greatly improved. Thanks to our Ming Dynasty's weapons, if it is in the hands of the enemy, we feel that the battle will be impossible. "
"It can't be beaten," Zhu Yuanzhang agreed. He didn't think any tactics could win against such weapons.
The new guns and bullets can kill at six hundred paces People are not very accurate. As the distance gets closer, the accuracy increases.
Use the original firecrackers and bows to fight the enemies with new guns. By the time they reach the shooting range, everyone will be dead. Right
In fact, before reaching the shooting range, all the people had already fled. What kind of army can withstand such casualties without collapse
While a few people were talking, one acre of soybeans was harvested. You need to put him on the ground and beat him with a flail, then raise him to the ground.
"Come back, we have to review the question book. "Zhu Yuanzhang resisted the idea of continuing to watch and had to go to work.
Others were busy making mooncakes. Last year, Zhu Biao and others did not eat mooncakes. Everyone was too busy moving forward in the desert.
Specially made for children are glutinous rice mooncakes, that is, snow-skin mooncakes, steamed and filled with various fruits and dried fruits.
The craftsmen waste no time in making parts. They won’t be able to go home this year, but. The income will be much higher.
Zhu Wentian cleaned the mountain temple by himself, took out the bedding he slept on to see if it was moldy, and then put it outside to dry.
He would not do it tonight. I plan to close the sacrificial hall and sleep in the mountain temple, but I can’t sleep.
“The moon is very full tonight. "The village chief took Hanhan back to the sacrificial hall to drink. It is difficult to keep the mountain temple secret.
The two drank rice wine and ate crabs. Zhu Wentian only had a few bites of dinner, thinking that he was alone in the mountain temple.
"Hmm," Zhu Wentian could only nod as he chewed crab meat.
What he ate was not river crab, but sea crab. The crab was big and meaty. Enjoy the food.
The steam boat goes to the beach to pick up some, and it doesn’t take long to come back. It leaves in the morning and returns in the evening.
There are no artificially cultivated sea crabs, they are all wild. , the big one weighs a pound, and is more comfortable than river crabs.Clothes.
“Now we can see that there is a lack of time and there are few craftsmen who can build equipment.
We need a large number of steam engines and other parts to assemble and turn into useful equipment.
In addition, there is a lack of maintenance personnel, and the machine is sent elsewhere. The operation is still simple, but it is difficult to repair if it breaks down.
According to the method you mentioned, we can only replace it. , and then get the things back, or send people to one place to repair them together."
While picking at the meat, the director talked to Hanhan about the current and future problems.
The steam engine is easy to use, but other auxiliaries cannot keep up. It can only be used in a small area, and for fear of leaking the technology, we cannot just recruit people to teach it.
There is a problem between demand and supply. As the scope of application becomes wider, this contradiction will become more and more prominent.
Zhu Wentian swallowed the meat in his mouth and took a sip of the wine. "Maintenance workers don't need to be very professional. They memorize formulas, what will be the reaction when something goes wrong in any place, and then follow it a few times." Once you know it, you just need to replace the parts.
Like some cabinets, they don’t need to disassemble and replace the contents, just replace the cabinet.
The maintenance is the same. It is difficult for people to figure it out on their own. Once someone figures it out, they will definitely be respected and praised by many people in that place.
