Chapter 935: Culture is the killer weapon
At this moment, everyone understood.
Potatoes are suitable for growing in the north, and the yield is higher there.
Sweet potatoes are suitable for growing in the south, but the yield can be truly doubled after they are detoxified.
But if it is not detoxified, it may be the same as the potatoes grown in the south.
Gongsun Wuji couldn't help but say, "How did you know this?"
"Look more and listen more and ask more. Now that the sea trade is so hot, there are more and more foreigners working hard. Let's talk to them more and you will know?
These potatoes and sweet potatoes are imported products, so it’s not difficult to ask for advice, right?” Qin Mo said.
"Jing Yun is right. Everyone hurry up and get these back. These are the future of hard work!" Li Yuan was very excited.
Qin Mo chose some sweet potatoes that were relatively small or broken by a hoe, and after they were washed by the servants, he brought a large iron bucket and put them down and baked them.
Although it is not a red heart, the sweet potato is also good.
In the future, red heart sweet potatoes must be cultivated. They will be delicious when roasted. In winter, they will warm their hands very much. After eating, they will warm their stomachs.
"Let's have a vegetarian meal tonight."
Qin Mo asked someone to cut the sweet potatoes, make sweet potato porridge, and then took the roasted sweet potatoes and divided them into one by one.
I also made a sweet potato version of the shredded sweet potato. Although it is not as hydrated as red-hearted sweet potato and tastes a bit dry, it is pretty good.
Immediately, I pinched some tender green sweet potato leaves and stir-fried a few dishes.
Everyone was drinking porridge, which was sweet and really good.
It’s a bit choking to eat sweet potatoes alone, but people with a big appetite can’t hold on to the two sweet potatoes and can’t help but burp them.
"This sweet potato is delicious, sweet and glutinous, and it can indeed be used as food!" Li Yuan slapped and finished a bowl of porridge. His stomach was warm, "Comfortable!"
"When it is promoted in the future, there will be too much food and I can't finish the sweet potatoes and sweet potato leaves. It's good to feed pigs. It's easier to gain weight by eating them," said Qin Mo.
"It would be too extravagant for people to eat, so it would be too extravagant to give them to pigs!" Gongsun Wuji hummed.
"I said, "Uncle, are there any ear problems?" I said that when there is too much food in the future, it must be after people are full!"
Qin Mo said unhappily, "Anyway, sweet potatoes are planted in Lingnan first, and then promoted on a large scale after being detoxified.
Now that potatoes and sweet potatoes are dug up, we will do a good job of breeding. We will change the land and plant them to save enough potato seedlings this year. We will promote them in large quantities in the coming year."
"Yes, Governor!" Li Jiange and others responded one after another.
After working hard for a day, Qin Mo was a little tired. After taking a shower in the manor, Li Yuan called him for a walk, "Jing Yun, when will the cassava be harvested?"
He was thinking about cassava.
"It's not that fast. Cassava is easier to grow. You don't have to worry about it if you plant it. It's just that the growth cycle is a little longer and it takes about ten months to harvest.
However, the yield of cassava is very high, not worse than sweet potatoes. The yield per mu is three to five thousand kilograms is not a problem!" Qin Mo said conservatively.
"That's also very good. Plant cassava at the beginning of the year and harvest at the end of the year." Li Yuan said satisfiedly: "Grow sweet potatoes, plant potatoes, plant rice, and plant vegetables.
As long as you don’t encounter severe drought, epidemics, and floods, it will definitely be a year of bumper harvest.
By this calculation, a family owns hundreds of acres of land and is not lazy, they may be able to collect more than 100,000 kilograms of grain a year.
There is no end to eating, especially now that Lingnan is vast and sparsely populated, the excess land in the village is used for collective labor, sealing, or buying and selling. Within two or three years, the village will gradually become rich."
"That's true, and people with household registration in the city do not have land. This is a good policy that is truly implemented on the people."
Qin Mo and the other two happened to walk past the tobacco planting site, stopped, and said, "Old man, I say something ruthless. If you want to do things for thousands of years, you never rely on nobles or lords, but thousands of people in the world. Thousands of people.
Although I, Qin Mo, was silly and reckless, I understood that the people rarely sought, but only a home where I could sleep in peace and a place where I could grow grain and raise children.
The people who work hard are always the kindest. As long as they can survive, they will accept it.
But when they are desperate, it is also the most terrifying thing.
They dare to fight against all oppression, let alone imperial power, even the sky can make a hole.
As long as the people live a good life, it will be difficult to cause chaos.
Before my father returned to Beijing, he asked me what to do if I conquer the country.
I thought about it for a long time but couldn't think of a solution.
But now, I have some ideas.”
Li Yuan listened quietly, he saw the changes he had made over the past few years.
Has the big move changed?
It hasn't changed, it's still the same big thing.
But the people's thinking has changed. You can't say it, they have become more polite and richer.
You said they were okay, and it seemed that they were not as afraid of those nobles as before.
"My father told me that if the barbarians go to the barbarians, they will go to the barbarians. This sentence makes some sense.
The ancient sage emperor fought around, that is, in the Central Plains, and the saints of the Ji family traveled around the countries and never left the Central Plains.
How could I imagine that this world is so huge?
But their thoughts have been passed down for thousands of years and influenced generations of people.
Shu, Jiangnan, Lingnan, thousands of years ago, were all wilderness.
What about now?
Not a place of eternal holding?”
Qin Mo sat on the ridge of the field, handed Li Yuan a cigarette, then lit it, and said, "So, thoughts and cultural identity are the greatest magic weapon for doing things.
Killing and war are just means to make the enemy afraid.
So I think the key is the great integration of the nation. Using our most powerful culture to assimilate them, what is used to govern the barbarians is a temporary means.
In order to please us, these people will inevitably show iron-blooded means. Over time, they will inevitably feel resentment, and it will not disappear for decades or hundreds of years!
Let them talk nonsense, write dry words, wear dry clothes, use dry coins, and marry dry people. In less than fifty years, everyone is the same kind of person.”
"Is immigration filling?" Li Yuan said.
"Immigration filling is just one of the means. Over time, problems will still arise. Whether it is culture or habits, they will naturally be rejected."
Qin Mo said: "I will take Wozhou as an example. They have always learned from us, so now after returning to the big fight, there is no difference from us.
Women in Wozhou are proud of marrying, and they are proud of saying big things.
Because we brought culture and advanced.
After they were asked to recognize their ancestors, they recognized from the bottom of their hearts that they were big-hearted people. Within fifty years, no one would remember their original appearance!”
Li Yuan asked: "Have you ever thought about a question, that is, the pride of being a big man. It is okay to marry him, but if you marry him, you will inevitably be looked down upon.
