Chapter 936: Bing Might Breaks the Curtain (Continued)

However, as a monk who is profound and knowledgeable in Buddhism, it is particularly rare to put forward corresponding optimization suggestions and detailed improvements to the existing hydraulic and steam machinery workshops under the Taiping Army. Some of the concise scene descriptions and the use of terms make people feel as if they are in the scene, and they are obviously really working hard and using their hearts.

What surprised Zhou Huaian even more was that he mentioned several discoveries and speculations in his article; for example, the stress fading of steel castings and the thermal expansion and retreat of different materials are already very close to one of the main theorem basis of physics in later generations, which is even more rare. You should know that although the Taiping Army is a big family and has a lot of experts in all aspects in the Great Training Institute, the most lacking is a necessary talent for primary industrial construction, both with basic disciplines of mathematics, physics and chemistry and practical application.

Although behind this, Daqinglong Temple and Daxingshan Temple, which moved south with the Taiping Army, represent the shadow of monks of the Tang Mi lineage; but in view of his practical rationalization suggestions and "new discoveries", why would you give him a chance to show off? Of course, Zhou Huaian then wrote in the end with a blue line pen: "Return to the secular world";

This is also a bottom line and red line drawn by Zhou Huaian for many monks who are currently serving under the Taiping Army. He is usually asked to come out to get close to and serve the public, and he can also work part-time in cultural, educational and publicity. However, if he wants to change to another position or get promotion in the formal system, he must return to secular life and there is no need to discuss it.

Moreover, it is not allowed to return to secular life by simply changing places and dressing up at home. Instead, it is the kind of return to secular life completely, like an ordinary person, marrying a wife, having children, and respecting adoptive parents. If you can't even pay or cost, what kind of ambition and determination to help the world and the people?

This is also used to distinguish and filter out which ones are the firms who are truly devoted to Buddhism, or other people who avoid Buddhism because of various reasons such as confusion and nowhere to go; or the speculative people who use Buddhism to hide their hiding places to escape the legal system, or use this as a sign to make money and make profits. Even the last one can be used as long as they are placed in the right place.

The other one is a middle-aged inspector named Biangang from the accounting department.

It is said that Nai's father was originally just a minor official in the Tiantai of Chang'an (Imperial Heavenly Supervisory), but he inherited the mantras of the previous dynasty and astronomers Nangong Shuo and Liang Lingzan. He was known as a knowledgeable astronomy and well-versed in the yin and yang calendar. He was affected by the dispute between the Yan Dynasty in Dazhong, and had to flee south of Jiangling to avoid disaster. When he arrived at Biangang's generation, he was worshipped by Taoist Gu Qichan.

This person was also the leader who was responsible for collecting data and information from all parties in private among the many ill-incited incidents of the "Three Detachments" of the Anti-Rebel Association. Because although the ultimate motivation for launching this incident in secret was not so good, most of the information he presided over the collection was still a matter of material or not groundless evidence, so he was involved and dealt with and sent many people.

Therefore, after the storm subsided, Zhou Huaian made people find him who thought he was going to be in trouble and switched protectively to the review department that was specifically used to pick people to make the best use of it. However, when he first saw his name, Zhou Huaian couldn't help but suddenly want to make a fuss, such as asking him in person what does it have to do with the side who wants to live up to his family's bucket after rebirth?

Of course, to put it bluntly, in most of the feudal era, there were only these Taoist and Buddhist people who had a background in the world who had so much spare time and energy to study these techniques while accepting secular offerings. Compared with the current situation and improvement report of the agency workshop full of hard-core terms; the report of Biangang is involved in the "Northern Land Horse Use" involving agricultural production, the "Explanation on the Pros and Disadvantages of the North"

For example: In the northern part of the country where the population is relatively sparse and the labor force is limited (mainly in Shandong and Huainan), there has been a common phenomenon of price comparison. Although the cost of raising horses, even if the horse is far higher than that of cattle, additional concentrated feed is needed to replenish fat during labor and wintering; the corresponding production labor efficiency (lifetime and load) is much higher than that of scalpers in the north. (The buffalo in the south has higher endurance and weight bearing, but it needs to rely on pond water to cool down)

Therefore, in Tunzhuang, where human resources are relatively limited north of the Yangtze River, and the surplus of agricultural products and subsequent processing scraps are relatively abundant, horse farming has become popular. Because in the northern areas, mainly dry land, the window period for sowing and harvesting can be opened every year, which is only a dozen or twenty days. In addition, the weather accident factors, once missed, it is likely to be the consequence of land yield reduction or the consequence of the extinction of harvest.

(The sun is abundant and rainy in spring, which is the most suitable period of seedlings to sprout within one or two days after spring rain; the air is gradually drying in autumn, and the harvested fields are easily dehydrated and formed. Therefore, it is necessary to make timely ridges to prepare for the seedling of winter wheat; in the hot summer, the water is also needed to be top dressed in a short time to ensure that the crops can bloom normally.)

Therefore, the households in Tunzhuang would rather spend more beans, wheat, corn stalks to feed pack horses in their daily life, and then, in labor production such as spring plowing, summer and autumn harvest, they will compete for time and improve labor efficiency through different optimization combinations such as horse plowing or mules, donkeys, horses, cattle and horses according to local conditions, so as to cultivate as much land as possible and harvest more crops with less manpower investment.

In this case, four or five people, plus one horse, one donkey and mule, can form a relatively optimized labor group; one person leads the horse and plow to plough, one bag to sow seeds, one or two people lead the donkey and mule to pull a cart to add water and fertilizer to the seeds, and the last person is responsible for the ditch and the nursery repair; within almost one day, the farming of twenty acres of cotton fields, twenty acres of wheat fields, thirty acres of mulberry fields, etc. on the flat ground can be completed;

If the coordination of the Tunzhuang production department with good organizational efficiency, as long as a combination of a brigade (three hundred people) of strong men and an animal husbandry team (eighty or ninety cattle, horse, donkey and mule), you can manage and cultivate a radius of seven or eighty hectares of fields in a radius; and ensure that you can get three harvests in two years (wheat, beans, wheat) or two harvests in a year (rice and potato).

They even have time to go out for odd jobs in their spare time, or engage in handicrafts on the spot to supplement their family plans; or use intermittent time to go to small markets, wild markets, and even conduct short-distance vendor activities. Therefore, although they are busy all year round under the arrangement of various production tasks, their corresponding economic conditions are far better than those of ordinary rural families around them.

At the end of this article, another thing is mentioned. For example, in contrast to the prosperity of Tunzhuang, there are signs of desertion and depression in the surrounding traditional villages. Because, under the original small peasant economic system, these ordinary villagers could no longer compete with the organizational order and scale production effect in Tunzhuang according to the traditional way of men farming and women weaving.

In addition to the self-sufficient part, whether it is the rice, wheat, or the woven earthen silk, they are no longer sold on the market; so naturally they can't get back daily necessities such as food, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea that can improve life, let alone improve farm tools and work together to increase productivity and efficiency.

The most obvious change is the successive loss of various populations of appropriate age. Young and middle-aged people are forced to leave their hometowns, go to other places or enter towns and cities nearby to make a living, while women try every means to marry into the village, even old bachelors and widowers are no exception; and the most popular ones are retired soldiers who have basic retirement guarantees and can also hold grass-roots positions.

What formed a clear linkage reaction was that local small and medium-sized landlords, including renting, materials and other costs began to rise. Although they escaped the Taiping Army's attack on the wealthy families, and in the subsequent maintenance of order in the village, they became representatives who were introduced to contact the outside world, and gained a lot of benefits from it.

However, after many years, it will also be affected by the decline in the market price of agricultural and sideline products and the rising labor costs, and gradually there will be difficulties in maintaining various aspects and signs of disguised bankruptcy and being forced to fall into the world.

This also made Zhou Huaian feel a little sad. This is obviously the advanced productivity that emerged across the era. In the process of gradually replacing the productivity of the old feudal era, the continuous pain and other chain reactions inevitably arise. Although the proportion of these populations now accounts for smaller and smaller proportions under the Taiping Army; but after discovering the problem and putting it in front of you, Zhou Huaian still has to face it.

Of course, the temporary solution is actually very simple. It is to issue a government order to restrict land waste. The deserted families will be punished to varying degrees depending on the situation. The most serious ones will be directly confiscated and the government will distribute and resettle others separately. This is also a way to eliminate the old productivity in disguise.

On the other hand, from the densely populated and meticulous farming to obtain more output, the south is strengthened to move immigrants and households to fill the local area. As a new blood replacement and dilution, it is relatively conservative and unpromising and changing population structure. Although it will cause different degrees of conflict between land and tourists in the early stage, it is still beneficial for long-term rule efficiency.

Naturally, from a long-term perspective, we should increase our efforts to promote the process of industrialization and develop surrounding overseas markets; we can naturally fully absorb and digest the production capacity and population growth expectations in the transition of these traditional agricultural society, and naturally solve most social problems.

——I am the dividing line—

In Guanzhong, Chang'an City in Gyeonggi Province, there have been successively occupied Yanxingmen, Anhuamen, Yanpingmen, and Chunmingmen in the southwest of the city, and the Mingdemen, which is facing Zhuque Street, which is like an isolated island, and its nearby fortifications. Suo Xun, the deputy envoy of Guiyi Army, who had just moved into the city, received an unexpected news and suddenly felt that he was in a bad mood:
