This tea planting was originally a happy and happy event, but Liang Chuan completely ignored the Song Dynasty's monopoly system for tea, and he refused to become a vassal of the Sun family. The relationship between Liang Chuan and Sun Houpu heated up in a straight line, and suddenly dropped to the freezing point.

Sun Houpu also admitted that tea is not something that everyone can touch, and if you can get by, it doesn't matter, but if you want to make a lot of money, it's difficult. The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Sun Houpu was embarrassed to stay in He Lu any longer.

He explained to Liang Chuan some of the management methods of the tea garden, precautions, said in an orderly manner, no matter how big or small, now he has nothing to hide, Liang Chuan's tea garden if he wants to do well in the future, if he wants to make a lot of money, he has to come to their Sun family, the experience of businessmen tells him that no one will get along with money.

He went to Zheng Ruoying with a sincere face and said goodbye, but Zheng Ruoying didn't even look at her, Zheng Ruoying thought that this surnamed Sun had deceived Liang Chuan, and his impression of him was not high in the first place, and now it is plummeting.

It is terrible to be unkind to the rich.

The next day, Liang Chuan asked all the village girls to stop what they were doing, bring firewood knives and follow him up the mountain. Everyone wondered why San Lang was so idle today, and he took them to the mountain to chop bamboo.

Tea seedlings are newly planted in the ground, the water demand is huge, and there is no river on the hillside, so you can't load a water truck if you want to, and you can't watch the tea seedlings die. Carrying water on the hillside is a very unreliable thing, which is more tiring than carrying water from Nanxi to the dry fields on the north bank to water it, and it is estimated that no one wants to do it.

God doesn't rain either, so I'll have to rely on myself.

Sun Houpu is really worthy of being an expert in the tea industry, and the place he chose is also a first-class good place suitable for the tea industry. In the early morning, there is a thin morning mist floating on this tea plantation, and the moisture is very abundant, which is a necessary condition for growing good tea.

Liang Chuan led more than 30 village girls to the bamboo forest to cut bamboo. In groups of two, one group should cut a piece of bamboo. The shape of the bamboo should be straight and slender, and the bamboo joints should be straight and straight. The length of the whole bamboo should be long enough, the bamboo body has no insect eyes, the bamboo trunk is not damaged, although the conditions are a bit much, but there are still a lot of good quality bamboo in the bamboo forest.

The branches on the bamboo body should all be cut off with a firewood knife, leaving a smooth bamboo trunk, so that it is quite easy for two people to carry a laughing bamboo.

There is no stream on the slope of the mountain, but there is one on the mountain, and this one is not a stream that relies on near rain, so there is no dry season at all. The mountain stream is fault water, the source is groundwater, and it will take a long time for the groundwater to be depleted, unless there is a large-scale geological change, the mountain stream is small, but like a waterwheel, the water will flow continuously.

Liang Chuan's idea is to use bamboo to transport water pipes, and the bamboo knots are not connected with iron rods, so the bamboo is broken, divided into two, cut off one-third, and the remaining two-thirds of the water is still surplus, so that it is very convenient to remove the bamboo knots, so that a bamboo can become a smooth water pipe.

More than 30 village girls, two of them carried a smooth bamboo, attached it at the nearest water diversion point from the tea garden, and placed the bamboo in the tea garden one after another. Liang Chuan asked them to help break the bamboo, divide it into two, and after opening the bamboo inside, they could go back to make bamboo weaving, and they couldn't help the others. However, after these women did bamboo weaving for a few days, the kung fu of breaking the bamboo was one by one, and the foundation was formed, and some of them were not cut in place, so they carried the bamboo back to make bamboo weaving, and it could not be wasted.

A bamboo is about ten meters, and the distance between the head and tail of the fifteen is nearly two hundred meters, which is enough to lead the water of the mountain stream to the tea garden.

The next thing to pay attention to is the connection between the bamboos. The water intake must be the highest, and then he began to create a slight angle to let the mountain flow down the bamboo tube. The head of the bamboo tube is narrow and the roots are thick, just the head of the upper one can be embedded in the tail of the next one, and where the height is not enough, it is erected with branches.

He Baozheng saw Liang Chuan's waterwheel and was amazed by Liang Chuan's creativity, his own wheat fields do not need to be watered, because they can be harvested around April. But he also planted a lot of vegetables himself, and these vegetables would all suffer if there was no water, and the tenant farmers of the Zheng family knew this Baozheng, and they also knew that this Baozheng helped his owner build a waterwheel, so they did not reserve the land to water He Baozheng.

He really sighed, how much knowledge does this San Lang have in his head, and the waterwheel can also be built. Today I saw again, the tea garden on the mountain does not need to take water, the water directly drawn from the mountain spring and mountain stream, with bamboo as a pipe, although the amount of water is not large, but with the waterwheel is a reason, the amount of irrigation is enough at the end of the day.

Liang Chuan wanted He Baozheng to introduce a tea farmer and help him take care of this tea plantation, if the tea seedlings took care of death, he would be charged, this person should be trustworthy and reliable.

Liang Chuan will definitely pay the salary, because his land is no longer carrying water, and it is very easy to take care of it, but Liang Chuan told him that there is still a lot of work waiting for He Baozheng under the mountain, and now he is responsible for managing the village girls, and also transporting bamboo weaving, mosquito coils are also going to form an industry, these are all He Baozheng's responsibility, and he can't let him be a tea farmer anymore.

He Baozheng said, or let the third uncle come, the third uncle has no work to do now, the cow is too old, there are no children and no daughters under his knees, if he doesn't do something to save some money, the future pension is also a big problem. Liang Chuan was overjoyed when he heard it, yes, why didn't he expect that he still owed the third uncle a big favor, which was not right.

Uncle Zheng used to farm a kind of land by himself, and the old cow was pulled outside to help others plow the land and earn some hard-earned money, but now he has no work to take over when he is old. Because the efficiency of the old cow is too low, it is better to use a hoe to cultivate the land by himself.

He Baozheng told the third uncle what Liang Chuan meant, and the third uncle's face was always smiling, but he was not stupid, he also said: "I know your good intentions, what San Lang is doing in the village now is a great good, everyone lives on San Lang, he is worried that I will not live when I am old, so he will find me to work, but I am afraid that San Lang's big thing will be ruined, and Jia Luo will not be. ”

The third uncle's words were sincere, for fear that he would drag down others, He Baozheng was also afraid that this old man would have no one to support him in the future, Liang Chuan did this a good deed, so he persuaded the third uncle to move and help manage the tea garden. Liang Chuan said that he gave the third uncle 500 yuan every month, and he was responsible for hoeing and hoeing grass in the tea garden, taking the bamboo over and watering the ground.

Five hundred yuan, the third uncle smiled on his face, and he was crying in his heart, three hundred yuan is enough for him to buy rice for dinner, and there are still two hundred yuan left, the key is that he is not a useless old bone that everyone dislikes, and he can be regarded as having a place to go.

Filial piety Liang Chuanlang, a true hero who fights tigers.

Sun Houpu emphasized to Liang Chuan many times that after the new tea garden is built, the key to making the tea seedlings grow strongly, have deep roots and lush leaves, and produce fast and high yields lies in the management of the tea garden.

Liang Chuan took He Baozheng and Uncle Zheng San, and after arranging the bamboo water pipe, he connected the water pipe wherever he needed it in the future, and put the water away when he didn't need it and flowed down the mountain. Liang Chuan told Sun Houpu about his tea management essentials and listened to Uncle Zheng in the same way.

Uncle Zheng's age is the same as his generation, and He Baozheng has to call him uncle when he sees him. Because he and He Jinyin were the only remaining old people in the village, they were the most senior. But the third uncle is not dazzled, his ears are not deaf, and his hands and feet are a little slower, which is still a good crop style.

The tea seedlings in the tea garden have been planted, and no one will come to plant anything in this barren mountain for hundreds of years. Within three inches of the tea seedlings, the weeds should be pulled out by hand, and if you use a hoe, you are afraid that the hoe will hurt the roots of the tea seedlings and affect the survival.

After three inches, shallow ploughing is one to two inches, one foot away, and four to five inches are deeply cultivated between the rows, with the tea behavior as the center, and the furrow is one foot wide and one to two inches high, a bit like a sugarcane field. This is still very easy to understand, and if you say it to Uncle Zheng again, Uncle Zheng will smile and nod his head to understand.

Liang Chuan bitterly explained to the third uncle several times, this tea garden is related to his net worth, if the tea officials in the mountain field know that Liang Chuan planted tea leaves in the ground, and then deliberately killed the tea seedlings, then he will be unlucky. These tea seedlings are now precious treasures, and they should be taken care of.

The third uncle said that you treated me so well, and gave him a way to live, he will help to do this well, the peasant family knows how to repay it, not a poisonous snake in spring, forget the person who saved him in winter.

After the soil is cultivated in the new tea garden, by April and May, within one foot on both sides of the tea tree, shallow hoeing and weeding are two to three inches of shallow tillage, and four to five inches deep beyond one foot. The second weeding is in July and August in the summer, and the third time is in the autumn, respectively, a shallow tillage and a medium tillage.

This kind of labor is nothing in the eyes of their peasant family, wheat and rice have to be harvested and threshed, and this tea seedling can only be watered and hoeed, hoeing one piece a day, and a small tea garden of one acre can be trimmed beautifully in a few days.

After more hard work, this slope land should be slowly changed to terrace, the soil on the mountain should be moved down to repair and level, the ladder surface should be repaired, the ladder wall should be protected, and some small drainage ditches should be dug to prevent mountain floods.

Liang Chuan repeated all the points to the third uncle word for word, and in order to be cautious, he also asked the third uncle to repeat these words himself.

The work on the mountain is done, and this tea garden is also a landing, although it is too different from expectations, and it cannot be directly profitable, but it is also its own fixed assets, how can I see others in the future who can say that I am the owner of the manor, and there are people with tea gardens, hehe.

"Lao He, you help me go to Xinghua to see which official manages the tea garden households, squeak with him, let's come to the door ourselves, and save them from coming to find us trouble!"
