In the old feudal society, China's land was like this.
Landlords and rich peasants, who account for less than 90.00% of the total population, own nearly [-]% of the land.
The poor people who account for more than 90.00% of the total population own less than [-]% or even less of the arable land.
This is an extremely unreasonable distribution. The method Yang Chen is adopting now is the land reform policy used by our party.
According to the population, there is no distinction between men, women, old and young, and the distribution is uniform and even.
Of course, there are also some landlords who have not done anything harmful to nature, and their land is also handed down from their ancestors.
For this situation, Yang Chen adopted a compensatory method of substituting capital purchases for forced expropriation.
That is, the Huben Group funded the purchase of land from these landlords according to the price of the land at that time.
Then according to the method of equal distribution, donate it to the poor people who have no arable land.
In this way, the poor people get the land, and the landowners who have not committed crimes are also compensated, which is the best of both worlds.
Anyway, the money used by the Huben Group to buy land was also confiscated from local tyrants, evil gentry, landlords and bullies like the Qin family.
The money is obtained from their daily exploitation and oppression of the poor, and now it is taken from the people and used for the people.
However, the work of land surveying and allocation is very heavy, and it will not be completed in a short time.
Therefore, Yang Chen, Wang Gui, Xu Hailang, Pa Er and others personally brought the representatives of the common people and a small number of soldiers.
Start to go in and out of the fields every day, measure the land, and register and distribute it for the people.
In addition, the more than 10000 refugees who migrated from Huaibei have no shelter yet.
Obviously, the few houses obtained by ransacking the houses in the city were not enough to house the more than 10000 people.
Fortunately, there is still a lot of open space in the city, so Yang Chen ordered Liao Yong to lead the battalion commanders Liu Zheping, Xu Ming, and Li Da, along with some troops and the common people.
Build houses for the people in the open spaces of those cities as their new homes.
One month later, the land measurement and distribution was completed, and most of the houses were built.
The common people not only have a new home, but also obtain their own farmland.
For a while, the support for the Huben Group was so high that it could not be increased.
And the prestige of Huben Tuan and Yang Chen has also been greatly improved.
After owning the land, the next step is to grow food.
Otherwise, if you just sit and eat, the Huben group's wealth will not be able to withstand the consumption for a long time.
Especially after learning that the Huben Regiment was stationed in Gushi County, many people in the surrounding area rushed to vote.
This makes the problem of food shortages further exacerbated!
What kind?
rice?corn?wheat?
First of all, Yang Chen ruled out rice, not because the geographical conditions of Gushi County do not allow rice to be grown.
It's just that he doesn't have hybrid rice seeds in his hands. Not to mention the long maturity cycle of ordinary rice, the yield is also very small, which is not enough to solve the problem of food and clothing for the people.
Wheat, corn, and other major crops were also rejected by Yang Chen.
For the same reason, the output is too small and the maturity cycle is long, which is not enough to solve the problem of food and clothing for the common people.
Therefore, the crops Yang Chen wanted to choose had to be crops with a short maturity cycle, high yield, and suitable for 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.
As for enjoying life, that has to wait until the little devil is defeated and peace is won.
Thus, a kind of crop popped up in Yang Chen's mind.
potato!
Also known as potato and potato, yam egg and other names.
It is the fourth most important food crop in the world, after wheat, rice and corn.
Although Chinese people seldom regard it as a staple food, many foreign countries and regions regard it as a staple food.
The yield of potatoes is very high, and the yield per mu can reach an astonishing 4000-10000 catties.
Before there was no hybrid rice, and before the current high-tech pesticides and fertilizers, the yield of ordinary rice was barely 400 jin per mu, or even less.
It can be said that the yield of potatoes is almost 10 times that of rice.
Moreover, if the temperature is suitable, it can be planted at least twice a year.
In other words, the annual yield of potatoes may even reach up to 20000 catties!
It can be called terrifying!
For example, 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 as much as 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 the armies of various countries, the whole country was shrouded in 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 soldiers and civilians.
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1220万人,到了1800年则达到了3700万人,而到了1900年更是达到惊人的1亿600万人。
During the more than 200 years since potatoes arrived in Europe, Britain ruled the oceans, Germany launched World War I and World War II, and the rise of Russia completely changed the strategic structure of the entire world.
It can be said that potatoes are completely a strategic crop!
Therefore, in order to solve the problem of food and clothing for the people in Gushi County, Yang Chen immediately promoted the method of planting potatoes.
