After the celebration meeting, Li Songchen and Zeng Dong immediately received representatives from the family with the largest number of people in the Time Travel Group under the guidance of Wang Sheng.

There were four people who met with them, two old men and two middle-aged men. The two old men seemed to be around seventy years old, one tall and the other was short. Although their hair was mostly gray, their waists were still straight, and their eyes were radiant, looking furious, and they did not look old at all. The two middle-aged men were probably not over fifty years old. One was slightly thin and looked a little delicate; the other was a little fat, wearing a pair of glasses, like a scholar.

Wang Sheng quickly introduced that these four people are the oldest old man Gao Shunxiang and his eldest son Jie Gao Shize among the time travelers, as well as the second-aged Liu Cheng and his eldest son Liu Weizheng.

After introducing each other, after a few more words of politeness, Li Songchen said: "Several people, due to the invasion of the Eight-Nation Alliance, most of the farmers in Tianjin have lost. Although some of the farmers have returned, it is still far from enough. Therefore, we plan to concentrate the remaining fields, plant them in a unified manner, carry out farm-based production, and use scientific agricultural technology to build high-yield farms. This is not only to provide us with necessary agricultural products; on the other hand, we can also set a demonstration for farmers, attract them to learn scientific agricultural technology from us, and help farmers increase the yield of fields. Several of them were agricultural experts in the old time and space, and could they complete this task."

Gao Shize said: "Minister Li, how many acres of land do we have now?"

Li Songchen said: "This has not been counted yet, there are always tens of thousands of acres of land."

Gao Shize said: "Farming is not difficult. I will not hide it from the ministers, my father, Uncle Liu, and Wei Zheng. I have dealt with land in this life, so farming is our best. However, if there are really tens of thousands of acres of land, the number of people needed is not a small number. Our farm in the old time and space was only 5,000 acres of land, but we still hired more than 60 people. There are still more than 20 agricultural machinery. If we rely solely on manpower, we may have to have thousands of people."

Li Songchen said: "Don't worry about manpower. The Eight-Nation Alliance soldiers we captured have exceeded 10,000, and we have as many as many men."

Gao Shize immediately said: "That's easy to deal with. As long as there are enough staff, farming is not a problem."

At this time, the old man Gao Shunxiang said, "Don't be too full of words. We planted well in the old time and space, but we may not be able to plant well in this era. Although you are both almost fifty people, there are still fewer things to do? There are no good seeds, no fertilizers, and no machinery. What kind of farming are you going to farm? Nothing else, how to plough oxen, you may not be able to do it well, so it is best to go to the field to take a look."

Liu Cheng and the old man also said: "Yes, Minister Li, we are not giving up at the last minute. As long as we can do it well, we will definitely do our best. But now we still need to understand the overall situation of this era first."

Li Songchen was also relieved. The two old men were still more mature and polite, saying: "You can go to the field anytime. It was too late today. You guys will stay in Tianjin for one night today. We will set out to the countryside early tomorrow morning, and we can also go to our new rural construction site to check it out.

At this time, Gao Shunxiang said: "Director Li, there is actually no stealing the farmland, and it is simple to get to it. As long as you achieve the four basic conditions, you will not be able to get out of there. It is the same in both the old time and space and in this era."

After hearing this, Li Songchen humbly asked him, "Is the four basic conditions?"

Gao Shunxiang said: "First of all, secondly, irrigation, thirdly, soil, and fourthly, prevention of diseases and pests. As long as these four conditions are met, all fields will be planted well."

Li Songchen had nothing to say yet, Zeng Dongji couldn't help but say, "The irrigation conditions in Tianjin now should be quite good. I think there are rivers near every village. Although the rivers are not big, the irrigation should be enough, but I don't know what the other three conditions are like?"

Liu Chenghe laughed and said, "But among these four conditions, fertilizers are the first. Farming should be simple, that is, fertilization, and the amount of fertilizer applied, the harvest will be obtained. No good varieties and methods are more important than fertilizers. However, at this time, rural areas should still use natural fertilizers, namely manure and urine, wood ash, and some rotten fertilizers. But first, the source of natural fertilizer is very single, generally only humans and animals' manure and urine, bones, sludge, etc.; second, the fertility of natural fertilizers is also limited, and it is collected, corruption, storage, and transportation.

, During the use process, there will be a large amount of losses, at least more than half. Therefore, before the emergence of fertilizers, no matter how good water conservancy, good varieties, and good methods were, it determined that agriculture could not have high yields. According to historical records, the highest grain yield per mu in my country was in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The grain crops in the north were mainly wheat, with an average yield per mu of 1. The city stone was about 75 kilograms; while the grain crops in the south were mainly rice, with an average yield per mu of 5. The average yield per mu was always less than 100 kilograms."

Li Songchen and others looked at each other, and Wang Shengdao: "Is it only that low?"

Liu Cheng reiterated and said, "Yes, although before we traveled, we all started eating pure natural foods, and did not eat fertilizers or pesticides, in fact, China's grain output has always been the same as the increase in fertilizer output. In the old time and space, in 1949, when China was just established, the fertilizer output was 6,000 tons and the total grain output was 110 million tons. After 0 years, the fertilizer output increased to 10,000 tons, and the total grain output reached 570 million tons. The average grain yield per mu increased from about 70 kilograms in 1949 to more than 50 kilograms in 2001, which solved the food problem of the people across the country. Therefore, without fertilizer, it is impossible to increase the yield per mu."

After hearing this, the three of them couldn't help looking at each other. Zeng Dong touched his head and said, "I remember some time traveling, some people used modern farming methods to increase the yield per mu, reaching three to four hundred kilograms. It seems that this is really unreliable."

Gao Shunxiang said: "It's not unreliable to arrive. If I give me 100 acres of land and concentrate enough natural fertilizer, it will not be difficult to produce a yield of three to four hundred kilograms per mu. However, this method of farming can only be used in a small amount of land and cannot be popularized in the entire countryside. The main reason is that in this era, the source of fertilizer is extremely limited."

Li Songchen said: "What should I do? Now we don't have fertilizers, and in a short period of time, we may not be able to produce large quantities of fertilizers. Is there no way to increase the field output?"

At this time, Gao Shize said: "Dad, Uncle Liu, Wei Zheng and I have discussed your situation. We have had some preliminary ideas. We don't know whether it is OK, but we can discuss it together."

Li Songchen immediately said: "Is there any good way for Mr. Gao? Although we are just trying to learn more about agriculture. Anyway, there is nothing to do now, so everyone just thinks it's just chatting."

Gao Shunxiang glanced at Erji and said, "You are here to see, what are your thoughts?"

In fact, Gao Shize and Liu Weizheng came to Tianjin this time, and they did make sufficient preparations. After more than a month of traveling, the two families also recovered from the shock of traveling through time. After all, it was difficult to travel back again, so it would be better to think more about how to survive in this era. Compared with others, these two families were very lucky, and almost the entire family had traveled through time.

After thinking through this, the minds of both families also started to move. After all, there are indeed more opportunities in this era and the room for development is broader. The number of people in both families is large, and there is a great opportunity to support and help each other.

Over the past period of time, the administrative management system and engineering construction in Tianjin have developed rapidly. A large number of relevant personnel have been drawn from the three passenger roulettes, which has also caused people to be in a hurry on the three passenger roulettes. Although most people want to be king in this era and have many wives and concubines, they always stay on the passenger roulette and can only walk around Dagukou. It is definitely not a good idea. If you can find something to do in Tianjin, you can start the time travel mode. Although a few people cannot stand the harsh environment of the construction site, returning to the passenger roulette has also given up many people.

However, Gao and Liu's families were not moved by the experiences of these people. After all, both families are from rural areas. Although their families have good living conditions in the countryside, they are much more adaptable to the rural living environment than others.

However, although Gao and Liu families are the two families with the largest number of people in the Time Travel Group, they are neither military nor engineers. Therefore, their status in the Time Travel Group is actually a minority group, which is relatively marginalized, and lacks the talents that Time Travel Group currently needs. As a result, during this period, only Fang Guizhi, the second wife of the Gao family, found a job position as vice principal, and no one else did anything.

This time, Wang Sheng went to Dagukou to recruit agricultural technicians, which was the best of both families. Therefore, Gao Shize and Liu Weizheng immediately came to find Wang Sheng and Ming's situation and received Wang Sheng's promise to meet with Li Songchen when they went to Tianjin to attend the celebration meeting. During these two days, Gao Shize and Liu Weizheng also did their homework and prepared to meet with Li Songchen.
