Chapter 0322 - Waves, Waves
"Feng Langjun, this papermaking, to say the least, will take two months to come out, at this time, at most, it is to soak the bark hemp stalks, and I am just ready to start soaking the pulp."
Feng Jianggong hurriedly explained.
Feng Yong nodded, although he didn't know the specific process of papermaking, he knew the general principle, and he knew that it would be impossible to figure it out for a while.
"Judging from your experience, can this mulberry and hemp be made?"
"It can be done. After all, Cai Hou used to use bark. Although mulberry bark has never been used, the principle is the same, and it is no different to think about it. ”
In the field he is good at, Feng Craftsman is a little confident, "It's just that what the finished product looks like, the villain really doesn't dare to say." ”
The tree was stripped of its bark, and that was to die.
And the mulberry tree is an important means of production, who would be as unconscionable as Feng Tuqiu, a guy who is full of mulberries and still wants to peel the bark of the mulberry tree?
"Just be able to do it."
Feng Yong waved his hand and asked him to go back.
He continued to walk forward with Guan Ji, and when the smell was gone, he pointed to the paper workshop in the distance and said, "Regardless of whether you can make paper with that mulberry hemp, I plan to vigorously grow mulberry hemp in Nanxiang, so I still have to help the Zhang family in this matter." ”
The reason why Zhuge Old Demon attaches so much importance to himself is because Quyuan Plough and Baniu Plough have gradually revealed their power.
The two-ox plough not only wastes animal power, but also is inefficient, so before Feng Yong did not get the Quyuan plough and the eight-ox plough, the arable land area was much smaller than now.
Looking at the land abandoned in Nanxiang before, you can understand that the Zhang family can occupy seventy or eighty percent, and it is clearly rewarded.
The rest of the corners and corners, the Li family accounted for half of them.
Originally, the Li family was just thinking of a way to put Li Mu on Feng Tuqiu's couch, and the wasteland was just for a show, and they didn't want to do it easily, which can be regarded as a mistake.
However, their family's land, Feng Yong has been planned as a vegetable garden project for pastures and textile workshops, so this mulberry hemp still has to find the Zhang family.
In the end, the remaining half was after Ma Tan came to Hanzhong as a taishou, vigorously encouraged reclamation, and with the help of the government, rented cattle, plows and seeds, which led to some scattered cangtou.
With the Quyuan plough and the eight-ox plow, not only has the grain production increased, but even the arable area has doubled compared to before!
This is only an estimate, and as for the actual effect, we don't know yet, but we can roughly estimate it in three or five years.
Deep cultivation of technology is not only for cooked land, but also for raw land.
How important is this kind of leapfrog progress for the Han who only retains the land of Shu?
"If mulberry hemp can't make paper, why does my brother have to plant so much?"
Guan Ji asked curiously.
"Hemp rope," Feng Yong pointed to the big house of the textile workshop in the distance, "There will be more and more cloth in the future, and the hemp rope will be used more." You can't always use straw rope, right? ”
The hemp rope is much stronger than the straw rope, and it is also higher grade than the straw rope, and the wool cloth is taller, so what is the matter with the straw rope?
"There are also sacks, and the wool transported from Fuxian and Nanzheng will be more and more, and it will not work if there are not enough sacks."
There is another point that Feng Yong didn't say, that is, he has thousands of people under him, and he doesn't farm, so he can exchange wool cloth for food.
But if you wear it, you can also change it with a woolen cloth...... That's mentally retarded behavior.
Originally, it was a weaver, and it was necessary to exchange woolen cloth for linen, what is it that is not mentally retarded?
But in the summer, I don't wear linen cloth, but woolen cloth...... Isn't it the same as retardation?
Therefore, the demand for hemp will not be less in the future.
Instead of cheapening others, why not cheapen the Zhang family? To be precise, it is the little lady of the Zhang family.
Anyway, Feng Yong dealt with the Zhang family, most of the time in the name of Zhang Xingyi.
In the future, Hanzhong will become a grain production area controlled by the imperial court, coupled with the deep cultivation technology brought by Feng Yong, in the next few years, the cultivated area will only increase, and the increase in grain yield per mu will only increase with the expansion of the planting area.
Growing grain is definitely not as profitable as growing hemp.
Even in later generations, I have never heard that growing grain is more profitable than growing cash crops.
Don't take advantage of the fact that Zhuge Old Demon is still allowing himself to toss Nanxiang at will, when Nanxiang is included in the formal management, it is not up to him to say what to plant.
"What about the mulberry tree? Is it difficult for my brother to make brocade? ”
The highest grade of cloth is naturally brocade.
Silk is needed for brocade, and mulberry leaves are needed for silkworm raising, since Feng Yongneng used wool to weave wool cloth, Guan Ji naturally thought of brocade.
Feng Yong nodded and said with a smile, "Woolen cloth is for the common people, and brocade silk is for the nobles." Since we have so many weavers in our hands, why don't we weave brocade silk? ”
"Brother......" Guan Ji hesitated for a moment, then said, "Brocade and weaving are not the same thing. ”
"There is a difference between the loom alone, and the brocade is much more difficult than the weaving cloth. Not to mention that silkworms are squeamish, raising ten heads to survive half of them is considered luck, and the silk spit out may not be satisfactory, and the silk that can be used in the end is very little. ”
"As for how many years it takes to plant mulberry trees, that's a trivial matter."
Shu brocade is a famous product in Shu, although Guan Ji is not good at female popularity, but she used to follow Huang Yueying, and Shu brocade is an important source of the imperial court, so she also knows these things clearly.
Since Feng Yong wanted to plant mulberry trees to raise silkworms, he naturally thought about it.
He pulled Guan Ji to a bend in a river, saw that there was no one around, and immediately chose a clean place to sit down, beckoned to Guan Ji and said, "Sanniang, sit down, wait for me to talk to you in detail." ”
Guan Ji looked at his brother and disregarded his manners like this, and just wanted to remind him, but the words stopped when he came to his lips. She looked around and hesitated for a moment before sitting down next to Feng Yong.
The river in front of me took a turn here, and the water became soft, like a calm mirror, reflecting the light in the sun.
It is like a wide scarf enclosing this place, and the place where Feng Yong and Guan Ji are sitting is the top of the scarf.
At this time, there is no industrial pollution, the grass and trees are lush, and as soon as people sit down, the grass can basically block all people.
It was quiet and noisy, with the sound of running water, the crickets screaming, and even pheasants poking their heads out, glancing at two strange creatures, and then quickly retreating into the grass......
But there is no voice.
Feng Yong lightly wrapped Guan Ji's waist, Guan Ji's body stiffened for a moment, and then gently leaned his head on Feng Yong's shoulder, and the two didn't speak for a long time.
"Do you like it?"
In the end, it was Feng Yong who broke the silence between the two.
"I like it." Guan Ji said softly, "I don't know why, just sitting like this, even if I don't speak, the concubine's heart is full of joy." ”
"A lover is full of water."
Feng Yong said with a smile.
Guan Ji smiled and slapped Feng Yong, "You can say something that others have never heard before, and I don't know where you learned it." ”
As he spoke, he sat up straight and looked at Feng Yong with his head sideways, "Although the words that my brother said sounded plain, when I thought about it carefully, it was full of flavor, and I don't know how I came up with it." ”
"I feel something, and I write it myself."
Feng Tu Turtle immediately launched the pretending mode, and the words he said made Guan Ji's eyes light up, but the Earth Turtle was destined to be handsome for only three seconds, and the next sentence would be ruined.
"Speaking of articles, Sanniang will sing me a song, right? I remember that you sang "Shu Dao Difficult" before it was very good, at this time, listening to Sanniang singing, I think it must be a kind of enjoyment. ”
Guan Ji's voice is quiet and empty, and in the future generations, it is a rare good voice.
"In this situation, singing such eloquent texts as "Shu Dao Difficult", I'm just afraid that it's inappropriate, right? Why don't you sing "Long Dry Walk"? ”
Guan Ji said with a smile.
At the beginning, Feng Yong didn't tell her about "Long Dry Travel", but this article finally spread in Jincheng, and she often had correspondence with Jincheng, so she naturally knew the full text.
Although this article is about the deep love between the emperor and the queen, when she first heard the beginning of this article, it was not like this.
Feng Yong coughed dryly, "Sanniang doesn't want to sing, so why keep talking about this?" That being the case, why don't I sing a song and listen to Sanniang? ”
"Do you really know anything?"
Guan Ji later knew that this article was because the emperor asked Huo Yi to bring words, which allowed Feng Yong to write the full text, so there was not much trouble about this matter, but this did not prevent it from being taken out at this time.
However, when he heard Feng Yong say that he was going to sing a song, his eyes widened at the moment and he looked at him in disbelief.
Feng Yong cleared his throat, looked at the river flowing, and glanced at Guan Ji again, "If you don't sing well, I hope Sanniang won't make fun of it." ”
Guan Ji pursed her lips and smiled, "If my brother wants to sing, then sing it." ”
I thought that there was no one around at this time, so why not accompany my brother to indulge?
"The waves are running, the waves are flowing, the waves and rivers will never stop......"
When I saw the waves in the river, I naturally remembered the waves running and flowing, and the theme song of "Shanghai Tang" came smoothly.
When I was a child, there wasn't much entertainment, and only a few black-and-white TVs in the village were the biggest entertainment.
Although I can't understand the fights and killings of men and women on the screen, this does not prevent me from going to school barefoot the next morning, jumping along the way and letting my satchel keep beating my buttocks, humming songs that I don't understand all the way.
will even compete with his friends for which one sings the most like on TV.
The older seniors are red-faced and red-eared arguing about whether Ding Li is a good person or not.
Singing and singing, thinking about it, Feng Yong's tears suddenly flowed down, and his face was soaked.
Mom and Dad, are you all right?
I miss you so much......
I'm sorry that the child is unfilial......
Beautiful lady, I hope you will see that for the sake of me serving you for three years, it would be better if I could find out with my conscience and make up a pension......
It feels good to be in tears while singing heartbreakingly, especially when there is a bosom friend who is quietly watching and listening.
Repeatedly chanting the last sentence "I still wish to turn over a hundred thousand waves, and it will rise and fall enough in my heart", Feng Yong leaned down, scooped up the river water, and washed his face in a hurry.
The cool river water seeped into his eyes, cold, cold, and washed away all the tears.
raised his head, looked at Guan Ji, who looked concerned, and smiled reluctantly, "Isn't it hard to sing?" ”
Guan Ji shook his head and looked at Feng Yong sincerely, "It's very good!" Although the concubine couldn't understand what was being sung here, and listening to the rhyme was different from usual, it was really good. ”
"This is the rhythm of the Hu people in the far west, and it is naturally different from usual."
Feng Yong explained casually.
"Brother, this is thinking of the teacher, right?" Guan Ji smiled in understanding, with some fascination in his eyes, "I didn't expect my brother's master to be so powerful, and there are people in the extreme west." can have such a rhyme, and the scenery is very different from the Central Plains. ”
"You want to go?"
After Feng Yong vented his feelings, his heart felt a lot more comfortable, "I'll take you to see it if I have a chance." ”
Guan Ji's eyes were moved, and suddenly she remembered something, and she laughed, and gradually laughed more and more unstoppable, and finally leaned forward and leaned back with laughter.
Feng Yong was laughed inexplicably, "Sanniang, what are you laughing at?" ”
Guan Ji tried hard to suppress her smile, and said a little intermittently, "Brother...... What did you say in the first place? ”
"Say what?"
Feng Yong was stunned for a moment, then he reacted, patted his head, and laughed at himself, "Speaking of sericulture, why did you go so far?" ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Guan Ji again and said, "It's just that the beautiful scenery is in the eyes, and the beauty is in the arms, so I am absent-minded." ”
"Go! I don't know who washed his face with the river water! ”
Guan Ji saw that this person began to be serious again, and immediately said angrily.
When Feng Tuqiu heard this, he was immediately annoyed, "Don't say anything about this, otherwise I will kill people and kill people!" ”
"I didn't expect my brother to have other martial arts!"
Guan Jimei glanced at it, and snapped her fingers seemingly indifferently, only to hear a click, "I don't know how to kill the concubine?" Is it easy to use the meridian or the binding surgery? ”
Feng Tu Turtle twitched the corner of his mouth, this is the end, forgetting that although the woman in front of him is gentle in front of him, her martial arts are so high that even Zhao Guang is often beaten by her, and she probably has no hope of surpassing her in this life.
And in order to perform in front of her, he taught her the ancestral Yijin Sutra and military body boxing......
The effect of practicing for a few months is more obvious than practicing for a year......
"Hugh should be proud, then the Yi Jin Sutra and binding surgery, but the ancestral technique of the Feng family, the male and the female are not passed on to the female," Feng Yongwei laughed, "You have learned these two body refining techniques, it seems that you have figured out how to be the daughter-in-law of the Feng family?" ”
"Boom!"
The words made Guan Ji's face turn red all of a sudden, "Brother wants to talk like this again, don't blame the little sister for being polite." ”
If you can't say it, you have to do it, and it's really a neat woman.
Feng Tu turtle saw that the momentum was not right, and immediately begged for mercy, "Okay, good, if you don't say it, you won't say it." Let's continue to talk about the silkworm. ”
"It's pretty much the same," Guan Ji was good at talking, and when she heard Feng Yong's words, she lowered her hand again, and swept her sideburns to hide her shame, "Brother, let's talk about it, concubine listen." ”
"Sanniang just said that most people raise that silkworm seed, and only half of them can survive in the end, have you ever thought about why?"
"Lives are different, but the house is auspicious......"
Guan Ji hesitated for a moment and said.
