Pillars of the Wu family

Chapter 171 Agricultural Survey

With the end of the riots in Shiga, the speed of the Kira family's search suddenly increased to a higher level, and even the people of Takashima County immediately calmed down. It is clear that the genealogy of the Liujiao family is Lao Shangang Jingzhi, who is an old official who followed the three generations of Liujiao Shigang, Liujiao Dinglai, and Liujiao Yixian.

In Shiga and Lita, there are a large number of powerful samurai directly led, and all the territory of Shiga County was deprived in the blink of an eye. Can their small body in Takashima County withstand the brutal Kira Yoshishi?The answer is no, so this group of Chinese people are as soft as noodles. I will let you check the household registration, not to mention the land inspection. It only takes less than a month, and all this is over quickly.

When the results came out, Kira Yoshishi was surprised. The total stone height of the two counties reached 12 stone. Such a high stone height was completely beyond his expectation, which means that the hidden fields of the people of the two counties over the years They have all been turned out, and now their family background has been completely exposed under Yoshitoki Kira's eyes.

Another set of data is the investigation of land fertility, of which Shimoda accounts for [-]%, Nakata [-]%, and Ueda [-]%, which is better than he expected. This shows that the land fertility in Omi is a good thing, and of course it can be done The better one is farm manure.

Japan's agriculture is really quite backward. It is poor and has no decent products. Apart from silver and pure copper, there are only sulfur, samurai swords, and folding fans in the Kanhe trade with the Ming Dynasty. Other things are either not included in the Ming Dynasty. Or there is no eye at all. For example, Japan can only make pottery in this era, and it will take decades to really learn how to make porcelain.

Just like Japan's horse administration is in a mess, Japan's agriculture is also bad enough. Er Maozuo sprinkles good seeds and pours some water when the field is dry. When there is too much rain, dig a ditch to drain some water. When there is too much grass in the field, weed it down and let the birds come to peck it. The ears of rice are driven away with bamboo poles, and the other things to do are to drink some grains and eat miscellaneous grains to endure hunger until the autumn harvest.

They neither know crop rotation nor fertilization. Even if agricultural books such as "Qimin Yaoshu" have been introduced in Japan, they are only used as academic research by cultural people. As for how to apply knowledge to practice... this is completely Just kidding, cultural people are all nobles who don't touch the spring water with their fingers, who cares about the life and death of mud legs.

So Kirayoshi thought of fertilizers. As far as he knew, there were barnyard manure, green manure, and the best high-temperature composting method. These fertilizers can be used from now on until the winter crops are planted in autumn. Now the time is too late. , but apply the base fertilizer once before sowing in the spring of next year, apply the jointing fertilizer after sowing, and apply the ear-forming fertilizer again when the ears are formed.

It can be of great help to improve soil fertility. Combining with the decree of raising cattle and horses in the Sakamoto Rakushi City and selling them in the town, you can rely on a large amount of cow and horse manure as fertilizer, so you don't have to worry about the lack of fertilizer.

According to the survey, the large mountains and hills in Sakamoto and Katada are concentrated areas of Shimoda. The so-called Shimoda means that the grain output is small, and it is inconvenient to establish paddy fields and rice cannot be grown. Kira Yoshishi adjusted the planting methods of these villages in time, and all the dry fields in the mountains and hills were replaced by wheat. , two crops of soybeans.

At the same time, it was discovered that Omi’s specialty teas are also concentrated in the mountains and hills at higher altitudes. Every year, Omi camellias attract many tea merchants to purchase them. Therefore, Kira Yoshishi asked the followers to go to various villages to listen to the local underground people. According to the opinions of the elders, the mountains suitable for planting tea should be leveled, and they should be encouraged to start planting tea seedlings in spring.

Kira Yoshihito also proposed a tax reform decree. All farmers in non-grain-producing lands are taxed and converted into market prices based on the product's similarity. The crowd negotiates the price with the local underground elders and merchants, and the merchants make the purchase immediately, and the farmers can also send representatives to supervise the purchase.

At the same time, after the taxation of tea farmers, it is determined that tea will be used as the annual supply. At the same time, he also requires tea farmers to provide tea seeds. The provided tea seeds will be paid according to the price of ordinary rapeseed. Tea farmers do not understand the principle of this. Anyway, tea seeds are not worth much, and the tea seeds produced every year are thrown away, so it would be nice to exchange for some money.

In fact, tea seeds can be used to extract oil. Of course, this is not comparable to camellia oil that is specially extracted for oil. Both taste and economic value are inferior to camellia oil. The pressed tea seed oil is very unpalatable, because tea seed oil varies according to Different types of tea have different tastes, some taste greasy and some are astringent, but this does not mean that this kind of tea seed oil is not good, on the contrary, the nutritional content of tea seed oil is even slightly better than that of camellia oil.

First of all, tea seed oil is a very high-grade tonic. For those who suffer from deficiency of qi and blood, adding tea seed oil to soup can enhance immunity, improve disease resistance, regulate the body, and replenish qi and blood. The efficacy of donkey-hide gelatin is slightly insufficient, but warming and tonic has no sequelae. It is most suitable for pregnant women and parturients to use as a dietary supplement.

In addition, tea seed oil is also a very good natural cosmetic, anti-wrinkle and anti-aging, making the skin lubricated and shiny, and it also has a good effect on dry weather and dry lips. Fire, of course, resists arteriosclerosis, prevents cardiovascular diseases, and prevents senile diseases such as osteoporosis. Everyone in this era will not understand.

He plans to collect the tea seeds and squeeze them into tea seed oil, and then add various flower petals to make high-grade essential oils. Whether it is sold to luxury merchants in Sakaimachi and Kyoto, or sold to the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain must be Both can make huge profits. With this business as a foundation, there is no need to worry about Nanban merchants not chasing him for trade.

Another most important point is that a large amount of tea seed cake can be produced during the pressing of tea seeds. It is the tea dregs in the oil extraction process. Because tea is a perennial and long-lived tree, whether it is tea seed oil or pressed tea Seed cakes are the best things, and there is nothing better than tea seed cakes in cake fertilizer.

Because tea trees like to grow on high-altitude mountains, this is also in line with the situation that the fields on the mountains lack running water and cannot grow rice. The water and soil in Omi Country is very good and adjacent to Lake Biwa. Most of the fields are middle-class fields. Those fields are just suitable for planting tea trees. It is a pity that it will take at least five or six years for new tea trees to produce economic benefits, so he can only plan ahead to find a property for local farmers.

Fast forward to the end of May, Ashikaga Yoshito issued the imperial teaching book, issued an order to protect Echizen Nagahara Echizen from Koga, and issued an order to prevent Zhixing in Yasu County, Omi Country, and then at the beginning of June, he also sent an order to Kōyan, a native of Koka, in Yamashiro Country, Yamashina Township. Escorted the imperial data office, and issued the order to secure the women's chamber goshu that only the emperor and the emperor can use, this marked the full restoration of the power of the Ashikaga shogun's family, and the government gradually shifted to the shogunate.
