Sanhe Butterfly Chapter 171 Agricultural Survey

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    With the end of the riots in Shiga, the speed of the Kira family's land inspection suddenly increased to a new level. Even the people of Takashima County immediately calmed down. Anyone who didn't have the foresight to mention the county magistrate would be seeking death. These people saw it very clearly.  It is clear that the ancestor of the Rokkaku family, Lao Yamaoka Kageyuki, was a veteran who followed the three generations of family governors including Rokkaku Tsuna, Rokkaku Sadayori, and Rokkaku Yoshiken.  There were a large number of powerful samurai families under direct leadership in Shiga and Ritai, but they were deprived of all territory in Shiga County in the blink of an eye. Can their small stature in Takashima County withstand the ferocious Kira Yoshi?  The answer is no, so this group of Chinese people are as soft as noodles. I let you check not only the place of residence, but also the household registration. In less than a month, it was all over quickly.  When the results came out, Kira Yoshiki was shocked. The total stone height of the two counties actually reached 128,500 stone. Such a high stone height was completely beyond his expectation. In other words, the hidden wealth of the people of the two counties in recent years.  The fields have been dug out, and now their family fortune has been completely exposed under the eyes of Kira Yoshitoki.  Another set of data was a survey of land fertility. Among them, the lower fields accounted for 20%, the middle fields accounted for 50%, and the upper fields accounted for 30%. This was better than he expected. This showed that the land in Omi was fertile for planting. This was a good thing, and of course it could be done.  Even better is farm fertilizer.  Japan's agriculture is really quite backward. It is poor and has no decent products. In addition to silver and pure copper, the only items in the joint trade with the Ming Dynasty are sulfur, samurai swords, and folding fans. Other things are either not included in the Ming Dynasty at all.  Or they don¡¯t have it at all. For example, Japan can only make pottery in this era, and it will take decades to truly learn how to make porcelain.  Just like Japan's horse administration is a mess, Japan's agriculture is also bad enough. The crops are sown with good seeds. When the fields are dry, water is poured. When there is too much rain, ditches are dug to drain some water. When there is too much grass in the fields, the grass is removed and birds come to peck at it.  The rice ears are driven away with bamboo poles. The only other thing to do is to drink some grain and eat miscellaneous grains to endure hunger until the autumn harvest.  They don¡¯t understand either crop rotation or fertilization. Even if Japan has long introduced agricultural books such as "Essentials for Elevating the People", they are only used as academic research by educated people. As for how to apply knowledge into practice this is completely  Just kidding, intellectuals are all aristocrats who have nothing to do with their lives. Who cares about the life and death of mud-legged people?  So Kira Yoshiki thought of fertilizers. As far as he knew, there were manure, green manure, and the best high-temperature composting method. These fertilizers can be accumulated from now until the autumn when planting winter crops. Now it is too late.  , but in the spring of next year, apply a base fertilizer before sowing, a jointing fertilizer after sowing, and an earing fertilizer again when the ears are formed.  It can be of great help to improve soil fertility. Combined with the ordinance of Sakamoto Raku City that promotes the breeding of cattle and horses and concentrates their sales in the town, you can rely on a large amount of cow and horse manure as fertilizer, and there is no need to worry about the lack of fertilizer.  According to the survey, the vast mountainous hills of Sakamoto and Katanda are areas where field concentration is concentrated. The so-called fielding means that the grain output is small, and it is inconvenient to establish paddy fields and cannot grow rice. Kira Yoshito promptly adjusted the planting methods of these townships, and all the dry fields in the mountainous hills were converted to wheat.  , soybean two-crop crop.  At the same time, it was discovered that Omi's specialty teas were also concentrated in the mountains and hills with higher altitudes. Every year, Omi's tea would attract many tea merchants to purchase, so Kira Yoshitoki asked the monks to go to various villages to listen to the local underground people.  With the advice of the elders, the mountainous land suitable for growing tea should be leveled and they were encouraged to start planting tea seedlings in spring.  At that time, Kira Yoshi also proposed a tax reform order. All non-grain-producing farmers were taxed based on the quality of the products and converted into market prices. In other words, the monks would take the merchants with them to the countryside when collecting taxes, and the collected products would be collected by the monks.  The public negotiates the price with local underground elders and businessmen, and the businessmen will purchase it immediately. Farmers can also send representatives to supervise the purchase.  At the same time, after the taxation of tea farmers, it was determined that tea would be used as the annual supply. At the same time, he also required tea farmers to provide tea seeds. The Kira family would pay the price of ordinary rapeseed for the tea seeds provided. The tea farmers did not understand the principle of this.  Tea seeds are not valuable anyway, and the tea seeds produced every year are thrown away, so it would be nice to exchange them for a little money.  In fact, tea seeds can be squeezed for oil. Of course, this cannot be compared with camellia that is specially squeezed for oil. Both the taste and economic value are inferior to camellia oil. The squeezed tea seed oil is very unpalatable, because tea seed oil is produced according to different requirements.  The taste of tea types is different, some are greasy and others are astringent, but this does not mean that this tea seed oil is not good. On the contrary, the nutritional content of tea seed oil is even slightly better than camellia oil.  First of all, tea seed oil is a very high-end supplement. For people with deficient qi and blood, tea seed oil can be added to soups to enhance immunity, improve disease resistance, regulate the body, and replenish qi and blood. It may be more effective than  The effect of donkey-hide gelatin is slightly insufficient, but it is a warm tonic without side effects and is most suitable for pregnant and postpartum women to use as a dietary supplement. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Oil is also a very good natural cosmetic, anti-wrinkle and anti-aging, making the skin smooth and shiny. It also has a good effect on internal heat caused by dry climate and dry lips. When applied externally or taken internally, it can quickly eliminate internal heat.  Of course, no one in this era will understand how to fight arteriosclerosis, prevent cardiovascular diseases, and prevent age-related diseases such as osteoporosis.  He plans to collect tea seeds and squeeze them into tea seed oil, and then add fragrant dew made from various flower petals to make high-grade essential oil. Whether it is sold to wealthy merchants in Sakai Town and Kyoto, or sold to the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain must have  Both can make huge profits. With this business as a foundation, there will be no need for Nanman merchants to pursue him for trade.  Another most important point is that a large amount of tea seed cake can be produced during the tea seed pressing process, which is the tea residue in the oil pressing process. Because tea is a perennial and long-lived tree, whether it is tea seed oil or pressed tea,  Seed cakes are the best thing, and there is nothing better than tea seed cake in cake fertilizer.  Because tea trees like to grow on mountains with high altitudes, this coincides with the fact that the fields on the mountains lack running water and cannot grow rice. The water and soil in Omi Province are very good and adjacent to Lake Biwa are basically middle-to-high-grade fields. Those lower fields are just suitable for growing tea trees.  Unfortunately, it would take at least five or six years for newly planted tea trees to produce economic benefits, so he could only take precautions to find an industry for local farmers.  Time flies to the end of May. Ashikaga Yoshitš­ issued a royal letter to Nagahara Echizen, a native of the Koga country, and issued an order to block the situation in Omi Kuni-Yozu County. Then in early June, he issued an order to the inner Zangtoushan Koyan in Yamashiro Kuniyamako Township.  He took charge of the imperial palace and issued an order to secure the imperial palace, which could only be used by the emperor and the emperor. This marked the full revival of the power of the Ashikaga shogunate, and the imperial ministers gradually favored the shogunate.
