Chapter 780: New Agricultural Production Model
After learning about Nanhe County, he realized that there might be many unnoticed problems in the land allocation plan. In the next few days, Li Mengxi was out patrolling.
It's more than March, and the fielding team has been out there for a while. When patrolling around, as long as they see land with pea seedlings growing, there must be a rebel fielding team nearby.
On this day, Li Mengxi walked leisurely through the fields along the field path. The spring breeze was warm and the weather was sunny. It was very comfortable to wander outside.
He vaguely heard the noise in front of him. The noise attracted Li Mengxi's attention. He looked forward and saw some figures in the fields in the distance. The noise seemed to be coming from there.
In order to find out what happened, Li Mengxi took people there.
When he arrived at the field, Li Mengxi saw a woman in the field holding a hoe and cursing at a man. The people nearby saw the joke and did not try to stop the fight.
They called someone over to ask what was going on. When the woman saw the military advisor coming, she immediately filed a complaint.
Li Mengxi got off his horse and listened carefully to the woman's story at the edge of the field.
After listening, he couldn't help but frown.
According to the woman, the root of the matter is this. When the field team first came, the woman and a man worked together. It was a good agreement. One would sow the seeds and the other would dig the holes together.
Both of them have finished planting their land.
Originally, the man's land was planted first, and the woman's land was already at a loss after a few days of delay. As a result, the woman worked hard to help the man finish planting the land. When it came time to plant his own land, the man turned his back and refused to acknowledge it.
Already.
It doesn't matter if the woman is nice and reasonable, but if the man talks about a partnership, it doesn't matter.
What's even more outrageous is that the man only wants the woman to sleep with him before he will help sow the seeds.
The woman angrily cursed at the man.
When the woman asked for help from others, the men next to her also laughed and said they would not help unless they were sleeping.
The woman couldn't swallow this breath, so she didn't ask anyone for help. She carried the basket and the hoe and dug her own seeds.
But this is not over yet. Today, another man said dirty words to the woman. The woman was so angry that she started yelling at the man.
Li Mengxi frowned and looked around. He found that there was only one woman in this farming area.
It must be that the person in charge of allocating the fields was not careful enough and did not arrange it well.
Li Mengxi summoned the campers together, and first gave the indifferent camp captain a good beating. After reprimanding him, Li Mengxi asked the woman if the camp captain bullied anyone on weekdays.
Furious, the woman pointed out the captain of the field without fear.
Seeing that the captain of the field did not dare to look at the woman, Li Mengxi had already guessed that women were bullied by the captain on weekdays.
He called the man to confront him again, and Li Mengxi asked him why he had agreed to sow seeds together and why he wanted to trick someone.
The man said nonchalantly, "Let's do it, let's do it." After saying that, he quickly picked up the hoe and got ready to work.
This guy acted like a ruffian with no hands, which made Li Mengxi very annoying.
"Military judge!" Li Mengxi shouted coldly.
"Here!" The tall military judge trotted over.
"Bullying women, neglecting farming, cheating and deceiving, these crimes will be punished with eighty lashes!" Li Mengxi said coldly.
"Captain of Tuntian, who neglected his duties and took the lead in committing evil, shall be punished with fifty lashes!"
"The rest of the camp, each with bad deeds and callousness, deserves twenty lashes each."
"Execution!"
After the military order was given, it was too late for the campers to beg for mercy.
The military judge exerted all his strength and whipped down the whip, causing the backs of the guards to be bloody and bloody.
During this period, the woman became soft-hearted and couldn't bear it anymore, so she came to plead for mercy, but Li Mengxi was not moved at all.
If the whip is struck too hard, people may die, but we are not afraid now. In the past, people would die. Now military doctors pour alcohol and can save a dog's life even with two hundred whips.
After the whipping was over, Li Mengxi asked the woman, "Auntie, how much land is left to be planted?"
"Not much left, only seven or eight acres left."
How long has it been since? There are still seven or eight acres left unplanted, which shows how long the delay has been.
Li Mengxi ordered the guards who had just been whipped to come over immediately and finish planting the remaining seven or eight acres of land. If they couldn't finish planting before dark, they would be fined twice as much.
Not only the campers, but also the soldiers who were accompanying him were asked by Li Mengxi to help.
With sufficient manpower, seven or eight acres of land were planted in more than an hour.
After the hateful campers had exerted their last usefulness, Li Mengxi ordered the campers to pack their bags and prepare to change places.
The campers went back dejectedly and packed their bags, and then were escorted by the soldiers to change places. The place they changed was the prison.
Li Mengxi was not stupid. He knew very well that after punishing the campers severely today, once they left, such a weak woman would definitely be retaliated against.
Taking this into consideration, we decided to get rid of all the soldiers in this group.
As for the campers leaving, what should we do with the land that has been planted? It will be in vain, who will let it be shameful?
Before leaving, Li Mengxi said to the woman, "Auntie, please keep me for now, and I will send someone else over."
Here in the field team, as soon as the others left, the woman was left alone. The woman did not feel scared, but felt instantly relieved.
After Li Mengxi led the team, a few hours later, a cavalry team came over with a new field team.
After Li Mengxi returned to Julu City, he severely reprimanded the officials in charge of farming. He asked the officials how they did their work. He should have known with his toes how there could be only one woman in one farming site.
What do you think?
After being reprimanded by Li Mengxi with his head covered and his face covered, the field officials rushed to make amends and sent a new field team to respond.
To make amends, the new military force specially arranged many women. As a result, the force was so great that two-thirds of the entire military force were women, which was a unique proportion among all military forces.

When the new field team arrived, the field captain politely asked the only woman left behind at the camp about the accommodation arrangements in the village and the general situation of the land.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The woman who was so angry has transformed and is now an old man in the village, receiving unprecedented respect.
Since there were more women in the new field team, the woman enthusiastically helped the sisters arrange accommodation, busy back and forth, and in the blink of an eye, the woman became the backbone of the women.
When night fell, the woman and her sisters had a short chat around the bonfire, and they were very harmonious.
Farming areas have changed drastically, and women will no longer be bullied.
——
There was a big problem in the farmland planning. Li Mengxi realized that agricultural production was not an individual's work at all, but relied heavily on the work of many people.
Take sowing beans as an example. One person digs the hole in front and the other scatters the beans in the back. This is the most efficient method.
If so, it would be slow and tiring for one person to dig holes and scatter beans at the same time.
Also, like the curved-column plow, when there is a shortage of livestock, the curved-column plow can also be pulled by human power. However, depending on the human power to drive the curved-column plow, one person must pull the plow in front and one person behind, and at least two people must cooperate.
The original plan for farming was to harvest manpower, keep the old, weak and sick in the city and do some papermaking and weaving work in the future, and send the strong manpower to farm. At the same time, in order to dismantle the local and clan order, the people were dispersed.
Scattered.
Li Mengxi originally thought that the best production model was to not even have a family, but to work on a farming site, where everyone was alone and looked at as strangers. In this way, the possibility of bullying each other during farming was reduced to a minimum.
lowest.
It is easy for a family to bully one person, but it is not easy for an isolated person to bully another person.
But what he encountered today made Li Mengxi realize clearly that agricultural production is not a single-person operation, but requires teamwork. Too scattered manpower is detrimental to production.
The way to solve this problem, after Li Mengxi thought about it for a long time, he thought that the organizational strength and organization level of the campers should be improved.
For example, if you are in the army, and you are ordered to work in pairs to plow and sow fields, it is absolutely impossible to plow half of the fields without one person quitting.
With this association of organization, discipline, and collaborative production, Li Mengxi thought of a model that might be feasible—the agricultural collective chemical industry model.
