1342 AD was a wonderful year for Cheng Pan. With the increase in grain production in the territory, what kind of wealthy reputation began to spread, and the wanderers around the county began to gather under Cheng Pan's rule. After these people arrived at the territory, they originally intended to ask for food. Cheng Pan would not watch these laborers make manure idle. The purification camp was quickly established and expanded, and another agricultural organization different from the commune began to form. The historical transition organization of collective farms came on the stage. New immigrants worked together, calculated the work points, and fought for their family property in the territory in a few years. Cheng Pan stipulated that every new immigrant could only work in the collective farm for three years, and then according to the work after three years.

Distribution of land is related to their own personal interests. Chinese people are never stingy with their sweat. The efficiency of collective farms is very high, and literacy is also a way to increase labor points. In the summer of 1342 AD, ten steam tractors were officially put into use in the farm. This huge steel monster made a huge sound and kept spraying black smoke and white gas forward in the fields. It was extremely powerful. The farming efficiency of a steam tractor can be compared with twenty cows. This kind of tractor still has various disadvantages. For example, if you change the piston, you will have to shut down and replace it for an hour on average, and it will take at least 20 minutes each time. However, the immigrants are still shocked by the results of the tractor.

When the immigrants saw these giant iron oxen plowing the ground under the command of the knight (the driver sat on each tractor). Their first reaction was to kneel down. In their limited cognition, the tractor that kept breathing black smoke and steam corresponded to the legendary monsters. After the commentary of the militia, they learned that these iron oxen were created by the master craftsmen who reborn from Luban in the machinery factory and were specially farmed. The militia explained to the immigrants with a sense of superiority in their tone. In fact, they saw the tractor for the first time a few days ago, and their hearts were no better than those in front of them.

After explanation, the immigrants stood up one after another and put their admirational eyes on those who drove the tractor. Then a message made the immigrants excited. The people who drove the tractors this time came from the machinery factory. They would not stay here for long. This time, they came mainly to teach some people to drive simple maintenance of tractors. People who learned to drive tractors turned over their work points when driving tractors. Work points are now hard currency in collective farms. Work points can be exchanged for land in three years. As long as a young man works hard for three years, 20 acres of land can be obtained. Of course, if you work harder, you can earn 30 acres. You can't change it if you exceed 30 acres, but the extra work points are also useful, and various excellent iron equipment can be exchanged. People who learn to maintain driving tractors must be able to read. Immigrants once again realized the importance of knowledge in the territory.

The use of steam tractors has been gradually promoted in the territory, saving a lot of money for buying oxen. Moreover, the development of new wooden pistons has begun. The latest discovery is that hardwoods in the north can be made with strong durability after being treated with tung oil. Cheng Pan couldn't help but sigh that ancient Chinese carpenters really understood the nature of wood. After learning about the excellent performance of tractors, the parliament in the territory questioned Cheng Pan and the administrative group for the first time. The agricultural representatives, who occupy half of the parliament, expressed dissatisfaction with the administration group giving priority to the use of such excellent production tools as tractors in collective farms. After familiar with the rights they have, the representatives of the peasants are very sensitive to the interests of the class they represent. After some separate

Bargaining, the administrative group and the agricultural representative reached a compromise. Commune with a literacy rate of 100% can send a quota to learn to drive and maintain tractors. After a certain commune applies for the qualification to use tractors, it can expand the scale of the commune's cultivated land as appropriate. The administrative group explained that illiteracy is not able to learn to drive a new product of tractors. Originally, the commune always respected strength, and a strong crop-like style means being able to work. As for the tasks assigned by literacy, farmers who have their own small calculations have always disagreed. In the territory, the commune's literacy rate has always been the lowest group, and communes with a literacy rate of 100% are definitely rare. The agricultural representatives have obtained this result, which can be regarded as an explanation to the rural elders.

Although this steam-powered tractor is huge in size and its power is a joke compared to the tractors running in rural China in the 21st century, it represents the highest craftsmanship of this era. It requires special technologies such as steelmaking technology beyond the times, water conservancy machine tools, and electricity. A large number of craftsmen with exquisite craftsmen cut bit by bit. At most, two units are produced per month. Cheng Pan also wants to produce one part-by-one and flow assembly production. This is a delusion. First of all, the steel production of steam engines in the territory every month completely jammed the production of the tractor. The flow operation is just two drops of water, and no one can play with it.

Most collective farms still open fields in the original way, with the Beggars' Gang as the leader to aim to eat dead dogs, and in fact, the activity of sending people to Cheng Pan has been continuing. The territory's capacity for labor is gradually saturated. The grain output of farmland has been limited by the arable land area. There are only two ways to break this deadlock. One is industrial nitrogen fixation and synthetic fertilizer. This idea passed by Cheng Pan's mind. Just kidding, not to mention the other synthesis of ammonia technology, a qualified cylinder will be stuck in the 21st century.

Many countries died. China only mastered the technology of manufacturing submarine shells in the 1970s and 1980s before developing a large number of synthetic ammonia industry. Cheng Pan looked at his original workshop industry and directly passed. People could have dreams and not delusions. Then they could only use the second method, which was expansion. If they did not expand, they would suffocate to death at home. Cheng Pan felt that his current situation was a bit like Japan in World War II, and they had to fight due to economic problems. Moreover, the opponents they provoked were very strong.

In the autumn of 1342 AD, Cheng Pan looked at the map and thought for a long time and finally launched an expansion. After completing the autumn harvest, the territory issued mobilization orders to militias from all over the country. Cheng Pan talked to the representatives in the territory about the importance of grabbing territory and coveted the land of the landlords in the border areas of the western counties. The representatives expressed their approval. It has to be said that when a crime is not punished, there will definitely be a second time driven by interests. Mo Rigen, the highest commander of Huainan West Road, did not attack Cheng Pan's first expansion, which caused people in the territory to have a bandit mentality about the territory outside the territory. Since it is nothing to rob the farmland outside the territory, it is no big deal to rob the second time.

Originally, Cheng Pan was worried that the mobilization order would not be effective, and even issued a policy. This time, the land obtained by participating in the fight against the local tyrants was cultivated by collective farms, and 30% of the grain produced each year was distributed to the participants according to the size of military merits, which lasted for three years. As a result, in this one-sided propaganda, the scene of militia recruitment was really hot. Everyone ignored the reaction of the Yuan Dynasty government.

This time, Cheng Pan recruited 20,000 militias at once. If Cheng Pan had not considered the importance of rural defense, the number would have doubled. These militias formed five corpses, each corps equipped with spears, uniformly wore reeds and installed iron vests on his chest, and heads were equipped with hats of the same material. Each corps was equipped with ten artillery guns and a trencher. After preliminary training, they could line up neatly and skillfully set up a horse-resisting formation. Of course, the village guard team with all firearms drew out the officers who commanded the militia and formed a 2,000-man legion, equipped with 40 artillery guns.

In order to form such a force, Cheng Pan exhausted his family's assets, brought all gunpowder, and all kinds of food, grass and military supplies were all equipped. If Cheng Pan let go, he could build the territory of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in half a year. If it were based on the original time and space, the first was the first in the early stage of the peasant rebellion in the late Yuan Dynasty.

Cheng Pan looked at the army he formed and felt a little proud. But a cool breeze blew, Cheng Pan immediately calmed down and clarified his goal. This time it was to confiscate the rich's family, not to rebel first. The rebellion was not fully prepared, and this action was because the family could not solve the problem. The conflict with external forces was purely forced.
