Chapter 289 Develop and grow, starting from fighting local tyrants and farming!

Rice can only be grown in paddy fields.

On the dry land, Yang Jing did not plan to grow wheat or corn.

One is that the maturity cycle is too long, and the other is that the output is too low.

It is difficult to solve the problem of food and clothing for the people.

Therefore, the crops that Yang Jing wants to choose must be crops that have a short maturity cycle, high yield, and are suitable for planting in all seasons.

As for whether it tastes good or not, whether it suits your appetite or not is second.

After all, living in this war-torn era, being able to fill one's stomach is already a luxury.

To be alive is better than anything else.

As for enjoying life, that is after the little devil is defeated and peace is won.

Therefore, Yang Jing decided to grow potatoes on dry land!

Also called yam, or potato.

In China, potatoes are generally eaten as vegetables, but abroad, many countries and regions use potatoes as a staple food.

At the same time, potatoes are the fourth most important food crop in the world, after wheat, rice and corn.

The yield of potatoes is very high, and the yield per mu can reach an astonishing 4000-10000 catties.

In large areas of China, almost all can be planted for more than two seasons.

Using the seeds and fertilizers produced by the system can increase the yield per mu to about 12000-15000 jin, and can plant three seasons a year.

In other words, the annual output of potatoes can even reach a maximum of 40000 catties per mu!

It can be called terrifying!

The rapid growth of European population is inseparable from the great contribution of potatoes.

In the 16th and 17th centuries, Europe relied on the introduction of potatoes, and the population increased by 200 times in just 17 years.

Among them, potatoes had the greatest impact on the rise of Germany and Russia.

In the Thirty Years' War from 1618 to 1648, the main battlefield was in Prussia, Germany.

As the food in the granary was plundered by various teams, the whole country was under the shadow of famine.

But when the farmers went to dig in the land again, they found that a large number of potatoes that had not been dug up before were still edible, and they got rid of the famine in one fell swoop.

Since then, potato planting has been widely promoted in Germany and has become a common food for German people.

德国在1500年仅仅只有900万人,到了1800年则达到了1800万,到了1900年更是达到了惊人的4300万人,可以说没有土豆就没有德国的人口壮大和崛起。

而同样情况一样出现在俄国,1500年俄国仅仅只有1200万人,到1800年时则达到了3700万人,而到了1900年更是达到惊人的1亿600万人之多。

In the more than 200 years since potatoes arrived in Europe, Britain ruled the oceans and achieved the reputation of an empire on which the sun never sets.

Germany started World War I and World War II.

The rise of Russia has also completely changed the strategic pattern of the entire world.

It can be said that potatoes are completely a strategic crop!

The most important thing is that potatoes can be eaten in a variety of ways. They can be fried, stewed, fried, or directly burned.

It can be shredded, sliced, or lumped.

It can be stir-fried or made into soup.

It can be said that some people may not have much interest in eating potatoes, but absolutely no one hates eating potatoes.

……

At the moment, Yang Jing has already made a decision in his heart.

Instead, he said: "If you have no objections to the proposals of Ma Tong and Rake's Ears, then implement them immediately!

First control Jinzhai County, and then conduct an investigation based on the reports of the people.

After the evidence is conclusive, anyone who commits crimes, oppresses the good, is rich and unkind, and runs rampant in the village will be executed in public!

His family property was confiscated, and all food and land were distributed to the people of Jinzhai County!

In addition, if we control all the pharmacies and businesses in the city, we will inevitably suffer casualties when we march and fight, and we are often in short supply of medicines! "

Everyone suddenly agreed: "Yes!"

Yang Jing nodded, and then said to Bi Yuntao and Wang Dali: "According to the investigation of the 4th Battalion, there is no regular army stationed in Jinzhai County, only a local security team maintains law and order.

I think a battalion is enough.

The two of you led the 1st Battalion and the Reconnaissance Company one step ahead and rushed to control the county town, and we will arrive later! "

"Yes!" Bi Yuntao and Wang Dali stood up and saluted at the same time, then turned around and left the headquarters, quickly gathered troops, and led the order to head towards Jinzhai County, 50 miles away.

Then, Yang Jing turned his head to look at the 4th Battalion Commander Liu Yue, and said, "4th Battalion Commander, outside of Jinzhai County, there must be many rich and unkind landlords.

You are the first to come to Jinzhai County, Men Qing, these landlords and riches, I will leave it to you!

After capturing them one by one, immediately bring them to the county seat and execute them together! "

"Yes!" Liu Yue also stood up and suddenly agreed.

Yang Jing then ordered Fan Tietou, Chen Lin, Zhao Hong, Ma Tong and the others: "You can also go to assemble the troops, set off in half an hour, and go to Jinzhai County!"

"Yes!"

Everyone rushed away.

Yang Jing came to the field doctor, firstly condoled the wounded, and then had a brief tender moment with Yao Shujun.

……

After half an hour.

The troops are assembled.

After Yang Jing thought about it, he decided to leave Chen Lin to lead the 3rd Battalion, and accompany these people to stay in Fengjia Village, and at the same time, he was responsible for maintaining order to avoid chaos.

After all, there are too many refugees, good and bad are mixed, and some incidents are inevitable.

And Yang Jing himself took the 2nd Battalion, the Artillery Battalion, the Supply Battalion, the Special Operations Brigade, and the companies directly under the regiments, the field hospital and the wounded brothers to Jinzhai County.

In Jinzhai County, there is a big family surnamed Hou, because someone in the ancestors was a high official in the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, relying on the family power, the Hou family began to plunder and seize land in Jinzhai County, constantly annexing land.

After more than a hundred years of accumulation, it finally became the richest and largest family in this county and even several surrounding counties.

Today's Hou family is here, and it belongs to a behemoth that stomps its feet, and the entire Jinzhai County is about to experience an earthquake.

Within a few hundred miles, basically no one would dare to provoke him.

Even if they are gangsters on the road, or bandits around, they have to respectfully give way when they see the Hou family.

However, anyone who is familiar with the history of the Hou family knows that the prosperity of the Hou family is based on the fact that countless people in Jinzhai County have lost their wives and their families!

It can be said that several generations of the Hou family have owed countless blood debts and committed countless crimes!

In ancient times, it would not be an exaggeration to copy and chop all over the family!

However, because Jinzhai County is located in the hinterland of the Dabie Mountains, the sky is high and the emperor is far away.

The Hou family is rich and powerful, and even controls all the government affairs and military affairs of the entire Jinzhai County.

It can be said that the Hou family in Jinzhai County is the existence of the Tu Emperor.

The current head of the Hou family is named Hou Rongcheng.

There are two sons in total, the eldest son Hou Wangshan is the magistrate of Jinzhai County.

The second son, Hou Proud, is the captain of the Jinzhai County Security Brigade.

Hou Wangshan's son and Hou Rongcheng's eldest grandson, Hou Shaotao, is even more of a scumbag.

He bullies men and women, almost committing all kinds of evil!

He even regards killing as a pleasure, and often dehumanizes other people's wives and daughters in front of others.

In Jinzhai County, as long as it is a woman that Hou Shaotao likes, no matter whether it is married or not, he will bring a group of lackeys to snatch it back, and when he has had enough fun, he will share it with his lackeys. happy.

In the end, I got tired of playing, so I either killed these women, or sold them into brothels to make money.

It's not that the local people have never thought of reporting to the officials, but Hou Wangshan, the magistrate of Jinzhai County, is Hou Shaotao's father, and the head of the security team in Jinzhai County is Hou Shaotao's second uncle.

Moreover, the Hou family also had a strong relationship with the top leaders of the Republic of China.

Therefore, if the common people report to the government, not only can they not seek justice, but they will also suffer crazily revenge from the Hou family.

If it is serious, it will directly destroy the door!

The Hou family's cruelty is even worse than that of the Japanese devils!

Although the people in Jinzhai County complained a lot, they just dared not speak out.

As a result, in the end, many people chose to escape from this devil's land.

It was the day when the Huben regiment pointed its sword at Jinzhai County.

This guy Hou Shaotao also brought a bunch of dog-toothed men to a village called Yangjiacun in the west of the city to rob a young girl he fell in love with a few days ago.

The girl's name is Yang Xiaohong, she has just turned eighteen, with fair skin and a pretty face.

His father, Yang Yunzhao, worried that his daughter would be murdered by Hou Shaotao, so he hid Yang Xiaohong at home and hardly dared to go out.

But even so, Yang Xiaohong was still discovered by Hou Shaotao's minions, and reported to Hou Shaotao, the lustful hungry ghost.

However, the father of this folk girl, Yang Yunzhao, is a very famous hunter in the local area. Not only is she outstanding in martial arts, but she has also practiced a set of ancestral Yang family marksmanship.

Hou Shaotao sent his men to rob him several times, but they failed. Instead, he was beaten to death by Yang Yunzhao.

Of course, it doesn't mean that the Hou family has nothing to do with Yang Yunzhao.

Rather, every father has a dream of his son becoming a dragon.

For example, whether it is an illiterate nouveau riche or a gang leader in a chaotic society, he does not want his children to follow the same path as him, but will send them to study and become cultural people.

The Hou family is no exception. Both Hou Rongcheng and Hou Wangshan do not support these practices of Hou Shaotao, and hope that he can go to school, enter the upper class, and carry forward the Hou family.

Instead of nesting in a small and remote place like Jinzhai County and becoming a bully.

Naturally, it is impossible to come forward to help him rob the civilian girl.

For this reason, Hou Shaotao suffered a lot of beatings!

However, he has a mother who loves him so much that no matter how big a mistake he makes, his mother will help him get it off.

……

Many people, the more they can't get something, the more they want it.

Hou Shaotao is no exception.

The more he couldn't get Yang Xiaohong, the more unwilling he was, and he even lost interest in other women.

But his mother, Yao Shi, was very worried.

I saw my son didn't eat well and couldn't sleep well.

Therefore, Yao gave Hou Shaotao an idea, asking him to pretend to give up in order to paralyze Yang Yunzhao.

Then they secretly sent people to lurk outside Yangjiacun to monitor Yang Yunzhao's every move.

Yang Yunzhao's family needs to live. Apart from farming, they also need to subsidize their living needs by hunting in the mountains.

Therefore, it is naturally impossible for Yang Yunzhao to stay at home every day.

After guarding at home for a few days, Yang Yunzhao relaxed his vigilance when he saw that there were no rogues coming to make trouble. He took bows, arrows, hunting knives and other weapons and equipment, and went out to hunt in the mountains.

After hearing the great news, Hou Shaotao, who was in a state of excitement, gathered a group of men, rode swaggeringly to Yangjiacun, and openly began to rob the woman.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the reconnaissance company and the 1st Battalion led by Wang Dali and Bi Yuntao happened to pass by here.
