Water Margin farming to become powerful

However, everyone understood what Battalion Commander Zhu meant. It turned out that the supervisory committee did not intend to rob them, but really wanted to discuss cooperation with their big family. They were all relieved and nodded.

Zhu Biao continued to introduce: "We have already had a lot of experience in Shandong, and the income of the big households that cooperate with our supervisory committee is very good. To protect the country and protect the family, everyone's business is our business."

"I just don't plan to cooperate in business. If there is anything wrong with the neighbors in the countryside on weekdays, such as being robbed by bandits or being exploited by the government, they can come to us for help. We are obliged to do so."

Everyone was a little surprised when Zhu Biao said that he wanted to cooperate with them in business, and everyone was even more surprised when he heard that Zhu Biao said he was willing to help them get ahead.

But this time, before everyone had time to ask, they had already walked to the field of the Supervisory Committee. When they saw the large field in front of them, everyone's original questions were swallowed back in an instant.

"This... is this the site of our Supervisory Council?"

A landowner was terrified.

It is rare that these people are not surprised, because the fields in front of them are not only flatter and wider than everyone's impression, but more importantly, a large number of exquisite and complete water conservancy facilities have been built on this field.

Not to mention anything else, just a long earth-rock dam lying in front of them directly shocked everyone.

These people actually built a field with stone embankments in the reed marshes to prevent the erosion of the lake water!
With a dam blocked, the water of Hongze Lake no longer has the opportunity to erode the arable land of the Board of Supervisors, and there is a complicated irrigation system coming from the dam, and every field is horizontal and vertical.

Fang Liang and the others looked proud. The main thing they took the tour group today was the harvesting of the Supervisory Committee because they knew that as long as they brought these landlords to the edge of the field, everyone would definitely show such expressions.

This embankment is the number one project of the Sizhou Supervisory Committee, just like building a house. It took a lot of manpower and material resources of the Supervisory Committee to do it, and it is also the best embodiment of the Supervisory Committee's concentration on major tasks.

Not only were these landlords surprised, but they, the cadres of the Sizhou Supervisory Committee, felt extremely proud when the dam was built.

If they hadn't come, just relying on the few small fishing villages in Hongze Lake, the farmers would never have the opportunity to build such dams to defend their land in their entire lives.

The matter of building the dam on Hongze Lake had already been decided in Dengzhou long before the staff of the supervisory committee set off, and even the owner of the village personally issued instructions to find this place to the east of Dutou Town.

The reason Sun Xin did not say clearly, in fact, he knew that Sizhou and Dutou towns were flooded in later generations, but this area seems to still exist, indicating that there is still a chance to ask for farmland from the lake area. If dams are built in other places , this period of time may not see any problems, but those lands will still be eroded by the skyrocketing Hongze Lake after a few decades.

After all, the Yellow River will take the Huaihe River into the sea from here in the future.

Everyone in the Supervisory Committee knows that the quality of the land here in Hongze Lake is really good. The plowed fields taken from the water can produce a large amount of grain with just a little irrigation. People say that rice can be grown here for one season, so everyone has begun to study the method of rice-wheat rotation, and the planting method in Shandong is no longer very suitable here.

If it is possible to grow rice and wheat as staple crops, and the yield of rice is not too low, these lands will definitely support more people.

After Fang Liang introduced everyone, everyone was born as a landlord, and the surprised look on their faces couldn't be more extreme.

They all knew how much manpower and material resources such a dam would cost. Just looking at this item, it was more convincing than the countless words before. Everyone finally believed that the Guardian Council was completely different from the bandits.

Huang Tang was stunned. He never imagined that the supervisory committee would build such a long dam for the common people. In fact, even if the common people were not asked, even if it was for his own benefit, the ability to build such a dam would not be enough. It was beyond his imagination.

Not to mention anything else, let's just talk about the largest landlord in the world, the imperial court, which has only seen tax increases in recent years, but how many years has it been since they put so much effort into agriculture?
Just in the area around Hongze Lake, the Supervisory Committee really treats the common people more caringly than the imperial court.

Thinking of the oil press workshop he saw just now, and the muskets in the hands of the guards, he finally had a completely different impression of the supervisory committee.

Fang Liang and Zhu Biao called a few farmers who were working on the ground and asked them about their production this year in front of everyone.

When hearing these farmers say that they can live comfortably this year, everyone no longer thinks that they are bragging, and the fields in front of them are the most authentic proof.However, some other words of the peasants surprised the landowners.

——The Supervisory Committee not only called on everyone to build river embankments together, but also provided loans to everyone so that everyone could buy seeds and use cattle, so that every household can manage at least ten acres of land.

The landlords really couldn't believe it, but if such a field really existed, and the supervisory committee would still lend cattle and seeds, then a fool would not be able to grow a good field.

Some people even envy them. Those people are landlords who have only developed in the past few decades. To be honest, these people are much happier than when their parents got rich.

And then several sergeants led the visiting group to the reclamation land of the Supervisory Committee, and the surprise of everyone was beyond words.

The guards actually farmed by themselves!
Everyone didn't believe it, but the people who were neatly plowing and harvesting the fields in front of them could undoubtedly be the guards from their looks and temperament.

Half a day after arriving at the base, everyone has already noticed that the temperament of this guard is very different from that of ordinary people. You can't pretend to be that kind of appearance even if you catch those dealers to pretend.

And could these people be dragged to the field to cheat?
One of the landlords shook his head at the thought of this situation, absolutely impossible!
The appearance of these guards working on the fields is extremely proficient. It can be seen that they often go to work in the fields. They are all big landlords and have many farmers under their hands. Which farmers can farm the land and which farmers are concentrating on farming? These landowners can tell at a glance which farmer is being lazy and muddling along in tending their own land.

The attitude of the guards in front of them is obviously more pious towards the land. This is not to say that it is their own land, at least it must be an attitude that only long-term tenant farmers can have.

This is really terrifying. This army is not only good to the people, but also willing to go to the fields to farm. (end of this chapter)
