Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In Jingzhou, Huguang, on top of the broad and thick Jingzhou Dam, Zhong Fan, Zhang Sian and others were walking, looking at the mighty Yangtze River water rushing eastward, and then looking at the former Yunmengze place. It was extremely busy, and a car  A rice transplanter is very busy in the vast wilderness.

    "The steam is steaming over the dreamy lake, and the waves are shaking Yueyang City. I want to save the boat without a boat, but I sit here and watch the fishermen, just envying the fish!"

    Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhong Fan also recalled Meng Haoran's classic poem.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT out of nowhere, this place was still a land of water, with vast mist and mist, and the turbulent Yangtze River water constantly sweeping and scouring the place, making this vast and fertile land just the hometown of birds.

    Now, with the completion of the Jingzhou Dam, Baili Yunmengze has benefited from it and turned into a fertile field. At this time, it is the time of spring planting, and the fertile fields are busy. I believe that by autumn, this place will  There will be a golden harvest.

    "Mr. Zhong~"

    "With the Jingzhou Dam, our Huguang will now have three hundred miles of fertile fields. From now on, Huguang will become the second Jiangnan of the Ming Dynasty."

    Zhang Sian, the chief envoy of Huguang, looked at the extremely busy spring planting scene in front of him and said excitedly to Zhong Fan.

    The biggest problem in the Huguang area has always been that too much water is brought by the Yangtze River. The river network is dense, there are many lakes, and the Yangtze River in Jingzhou often overflows, making this vast area uncultivable.

    Therefore, since ancient times, all dynasties have had the tradition of building river dams. Dams were gradually built in Jingzhou, thus turning a large number of swamps into fertile farmland.

    "Haha, Jiangnan is nothing."

    "The grain produced in Jiangnan is now less than one-tenth of that produced in Liaodong and Hezhong."

    "In the south, rice is mostly grown. The fields are not flat, and they are all paddy fields, which is not conducive to the development of mechanization and farming."

    "In the maps of Hezhong and Liaodong, wheat is mainly grown. The fields are very flat and open, which is very conducive to mechanized farming. Often a farmer can cultivate thousands of acres of fertile land."

    "It is a vast land with few people, but the land is abundant and very fertile. In autumn, as far as the eye can see, there is an endless golden ocean. When the wind blows, it rises and falls like the waves of the sea. It is very beautiful."

    When Zhong Fan heard this, he immediately smiled and said.

    He had served as chief envoy in Central Asia Province and had seen the developed mechanized agriculture in the river. To be honest, he really didn't like the agricultural planting in front of him.

    The local agriculture of the Ming Dynasty is stronger in the north than in the south, because there are many plains in the north and wheat is mainly grown, while the south is hilly and rice is mainly grown, which is not conducive to mechanized farming.

    "One person cultivates thousands of acres of fertile land!"

    "No wonder Liaodong and Hezhong provinces are now the most prosperous provinces of our Ming Dynasty."

    When Zhang Sian heard this, he couldn't help but sigh.

    This is something that is unthinkable in Huguang. How is it possible for a farmer to cultivate thousands of acres of land? Rice cultivation is much more troublesome than wheat, and it is impossible to say that there is so much land for farmers here.  Planting.

    There are many people here but little land. Before large-scale immigration, the land here was even more scarce. The contradiction between people and land was acute. The landlords and gentry had a lot of land in their hands, but the farmers often had little land.

    The land that every household can cultivate is only a few acres of land. These thousands of acres of land are owned by landlords, not farmers at all.

    ¡°The development of agriculture lies in actively exploring a development model suitable for the region, and in using more machinery to improve efficiency.¡±

    "Of course, for a place like Huguang, it does not have the advantages of provinces such as Liaodong, Hezhong, Central Asia, and Black Earth, and it cannot develop large-scale agriculture like these places."

    ¡°If you want to get rich and develop, you need to open more factories, workshops and businesses. Only in this way can you create employment, improve the economy and promote development.¡±

    "Now Jiangxi is doing very well. They are vigorously building railways to connect the north and south and connecting the east and west. In addition, they are dredging the Yangtze River and building ports and docks. A large number of factories and workshops are also being established in Nanchang, Jiangxi."

    "Now it has attracted many commercial banks and factories to invest. Steel plants, cement plants, motorcycles, textile factories, etc. have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Relying on increasingly convenient transportation and its own population advantages, in the future  Maybe it will develop very well.¡±

    When it comes to agriculture, Zhong Fan is very good at it. The large ranch economy in Central Asia Province is under his leadership and promotion.develop.

    He is different from the average sour, rotten Confucian and pedantic civil servants, so he has always been the official who supports Liu Jin's New Deal the most. He has witnessed with his own eyes the transformation of the Ming Dynasty from the original internal and external troubles to the prosperous empire with a prosperous country and a strong people.  .

    This time .c om Zhang Si.  He also witnessed with his own eyes the earth-shaking changes that mechanized agriculture has brought to the farmers in the Hezhong area. Many immigrants were still bachelors and paupers when they arrived, but in just one or two years, they had thousands of acres of fertile farmland.  They moved to a breeding farm, bought several female slaves as concubines, and gave birth to a large number of children.

    Why such a huge change?

    Is all this still caused by the benevolence and morality advocated by those sour civil servants in the past?

    Control the big one and control the owl.  No, what really brought about earth-shaking changes to the Ming Dynasty was the technology and machinery that everyone looked down upon, didn't pay attention to, and thought were heresy.

    Without the power of technology and machinery, the Ming Dynasty would not have been as rich and prosperous as it is today. Even if the Ming army was stronger and could expand its territory, the Ming Dynasty would only be reviving the styles of the Han and Tang Dynasties, but it still could not hold on to these new developments.  Although the land has been developed, the people still cannot truly become rich.

    Once the national power weakens, history will repeat itself again
