Smallholder economy: why the Han Dynasty was formed

The Han Dynasty was not the only smallholder economy, the Western Han Dynasty had a cantonment field

The Han Dynasty planted corn (millet) to collect for military rations, in addition to planting corn there are a variety of other things, such as rice, wheat, beans, gourds, gourds, taro, five-color millet (yellow rice, beams, etc.), Yuanmai (barley barley) and so on

The most important is the millet and rice

Han mu of land to get millet three to four stone, which is nowadays the city acres of corn. A year to harvest corn in a mu of about three hundred pounds

Different years planting rice is a big difference, according to agricultural records in good years when the application of fertilizers in the United States field mu harvest nineteen stone, thirteen stone in the field, thin field ten stone, if coupled with the use of ulcerated species applying phosphorus and potassium fertilizers the highest yield of a mu of land can be harvested more than thirty stone (Song Dynasty records for the hundred stone)

By the thin field mu harvest of ten stone calculations, a mu of land during the Han Dynasty can be harvested rice production The highest yield for a mu of land in the Han Dynasty was more than 30 stone (100 stone recorded in the Song Dynasty)

According to the calculation of 10 stone for a thin field, the rice yield for a mu of land in the Han Dynasty was close to 1,200 stone for a mu of land in the Han Dynasty

Based on the calculation of 19 stone for a beautiful field, the rice yield for a mu of land in the Han Dynasty was 1,700 stone for a mu of land in the Han Dynasty

The data of 19 stone for a beautiful field was close to that of a modern experiment

The data of 19 stone for a beautiful field is very close to the modern experimental field data
