At first, when Lao Cai found the bolt pillar and the blind deer, the two tenant farmers were quite happy, thinking that this year they would be allocated an acre and a half of paddy fields to plant some rice, but they didn't expect that the young lady was going to Qingyuan to pick cane seedlings, and asked them if the two old men had any experience in planting sugarcane.

A few years ago, the two of them planted a few cane seedlings in the ground, and they didn't take care of these weed-like sugarcane, but they didn't expect the cane seedlings to grow up and mature.

As a result, when I saw the cane seedlings full of more than 20 carts of cane seedlings in Qingyuan County, the mouths of the two old tenant farmers were so shocked that they could put a goose egg.

On the way back, the two of them were like boxes and hats, hanging their heads in frustration, and kept muttering in their hearts how to explain to the eldest lady that these cane seedlings cost a lot of money, and it was still a trivial matter to tell them to roll up and get out, and they would have to pay for it when the time came.

The two men cowered and hid behind the convoy, chewing grass stalks in their mouths with dead faces. Lao Cai beat the two of them for a long time, and when the two of them saw the stinky face of the housekeeper Lao Cai when they found them, their hearts sank to the bottom. The grass stalk in his mouth spit out to the ground, and the bolt pillar was older than the blind deer, and said ruthlessly: "I'm afraid that he will die, and he will die, it's a big deal that he has been dry in vain in the past few years, and I will plant all these cane seedlings for Miss." ”

The blind deer didn't have an idea on weekdays, and at the moment his mind was in a mess, and he numbly followed behind the bolt's ass.

Lao Cai can't see that people are disobedient or have grievances when he usually works, who can he show a stinky face? If you love to do it or not, get out of here at any time! At this moment, the expressions of the two tenant farmers were as miserable as the ashes burned in the second half of the night, and Lao Cai was angry and said: "You two old guys, the eldest lady looks up to you and plans to reuse you, who are you crying and sad to show to?" Cheer up Lao Tzu! I turned around and missed the big lady's big thing, look at how I clean you up! ”

Zheng Ruoying followed Liang Chuan, two people, one in front of the other, Liang Chuan held a hoe in his hand, and the two went to the Zheng family's sugarcane field.

Liang Chuan looked at the vast wasteland, which looked even more desolate under the winter cloud, and said that the Song Dynasty was a prosperous world, but in front of his own eyes, the tragedy of being displaced, homeless, and homeless often happened because the productivity of the land was too low, the peasants had not many ways out, and the superior resources were in the hands of a few people, and most people could only look at it. How much can he change, alas, Liang Chuan let out a long sigh.

Zheng Ruoying followed behind this man, and was frightened by this man's sudden sigh, why did she suddenly sigh? Is there no faith or is the land too bad?

"You say, is the life of the common people in our time good or bad?" Liang Chuan seemed to be asking Zheng Ruoying, and he seemed to be asking himself.

Zheng Ruoying replied without a trace of hesitation: "Emperor Taizu has conquered the country, this life is much more comfortable than the previous dynasty, the world of the previous dynasty is too dark, the parents sell their daughters, and people eat each other, not to mention eating a bowl of full rice, it is very good not to worry about whether you can live until tomorrow, of course you live well in this life!" ”

Liang Chuan was noncommittal and said, "If people are too tired to live. ”

Lao Cai led the two tenant farmers to him and said to Zheng Ruoying: "Miss, the bolt pillar and the blind deer have been brought." ”

Zheng Ruoying nodded at Lao Cai, and Lao Cai naturally stepped aside. Zheng Ruoying said to Liang Chuan: "Liang Daguan, I brought it to you, you can talk about what kind of fine management method you have." ”

The two old men walked up to the two of them tremblingly, their faces buried low, ready to wait to expose their horses' feet to withstand the wrath of the eldest lady.

Liang Chuan glanced at the embarrassment of the two old men, and asked respectfully, "The two old men don't know what to call them?" ”

The two old men have lived all their lives and no one cares what their real names are, they are all nicknamed by the nickname of Bolt Pillar Blind Deer for a lifetime, and now ask them what their names are, but the two of them forgot the code name, opened their mouths wide, but they didn't say a word, and they didn't know how to reply to Liang Chuan's words in a daze.

Lao Cai stood behind him and coughed, and the two of them just turned around and glanced at Lao Cai without making a sound.

Zheng Ruoying looked at the two old tenant farmers of his own out of shape, and came out to play a round by himself and said: "Liang Daguan, you just call this old bolt pillar, this is a blind deer, we all call them this at home." The two of them have never seen much of the world, and the first time they saw the demeanor of Liangchuan officials made the big officials smile. ”

These two names are good to breed, and they came from the peasant family. Liang Chuan saluted the two old men and said: "Today, I invite the two veterans to come, that is, to discuss how to plant these sugarcane, and there will be a good harvest in the coming year. ”

The old man, who had two and a half feet in the loess, was bluffed by this claim. Two people who have been digging in the yellow earth for half their lives, no one has ever taken them seriously, at most they are released as a fart. The eldest lady in charge was good to the two of them, but she didn't have such a posture, the two of them had never received such a big gift from a big man or official, so her back was slightly hunched and arched more like a shrimp, and she didn't dare to raise her head to accept Liang Chuan's salute, her lips trembled, but she couldn't make any sound.

Liang Chuan saw that the two of them were silent, and said with a smile: "The two old masters don't say anything, so they should be two of them agree, then I will first talk about a few key points of planting this sugarcane in my hometown. ”

Liang Chuan wanted to laugh a little, his agricultural knowledge was originally a halfway monk, high school was a liberal arts result, and then he chose this science and engineering major, and he was stunned when he went to class on weekdays, and he only knew one of the conceptual knowledge taught by the teacher but did not know why, but fortunately, the teacher was kind or rewarded with a degree certificate. Later, police work and agriculture are even more incompatible, and this knowledge has long been returned to the teacher, and today I have to reluctantly use this knowledge to mix and eat, alas, I don't know if it will not be mixed.

Several people looked at Liang Chuan with blank eyes, Liang Chuan cleared his throat and began to say: "Planting sugarcane pays attention to four essentials: deep ploughing, shallow planting, wide rows, and dense planting. If you have mastered these four essentials, if you don't encounter any major disasters, sugarcane can really be planted in the ground and you can have a good harvest. ”

"You explain these four tips carefully, we know what is not clear, how to plant?" Zheng Ruoying asked anxiously.

Liang Chuan smiled and said, "Miss Zheng, don't be anxious, let me speak slowly." The so-called deep ploughing is that before planting seedlings, the land needs to be cultivated deep enough, the soil should be raked finely, and it is best to bask in the sun for a day, so that the sunlight can remove the soil poison, and it is not easy to get insect pests in the process of sugarcane growth. ”

As soon as the two old men heard Liang Chuan talk about ploughing, and it was reasonable, the two of them grew up in the field, and they knew what these jargon meant as soon as they heard it. This young man is obviously very good at farming, and he doesn't need the two old men to come out and be embarrassed, and suddenly a big stone that weighed on the two hearts fell to the ground!

The blind deer resignedly asked: "Official, I don't know how deep the deep cultivation you are talking about?" ”

Liang Chuan said: "According to your standards, it is about two feet deep!" Plough two feet deep, of course a little less, but at least one and a half feet deep. ”

Seeing that the blind deer was a coward, he couldn't be too cowardly, so he said: "Will two feet be too deep, it will take a lot of animal power. ”

Liang Chuan said: "Sugarcane grows up has a very serious problem is lodging, sugarcane grows tall behind, the root system of sugarcane is very shallow, the ground is heavy and the soil grip is not enough, in the summer, we have a lot of typhoons in this place, the soil is easy to soften when there is more rain, and the sugarcane will fall down and rot, which will affect the growth, so the cane ditch below must be ploughed deep to facilitate the sugarcane to grow roots." ”

Liang Chuan's words were very simple and easy to understand, and the two old men nodded again and again when they heard it, although Zheng Ruoying was not very expert, but seeing that the two tenants of his family agreed with Liang Chuan's approach so much, he couldn't help but smile with joy on his face.

Liang Chuan continued: "Then there is the wide line, but in fact, the wide line and the dense plant can be explained together. We often think that the more crops we can grow, the more we will harvest, but this is not the case. ”

Liang Chuan originally wanted to explain to them the truth that crops also need sunlight and air, but he was afraid that they would not understand, so he changed his mind and said: "The experience passed down from the ancestors said that the land also has soil strength, and if the soil strength is not enough to raise too many things, the yield will be reduced, so the sugarcane can not be planted too densely, just like the rice in the field is too dense and the yield is not high, the interval between the two rows of sugarcane is best between three feet and four feet, and the ditch should be dug in the middle, so that it can be drained when it rains in summer, and water can be diverted for irrigation in autumn and winter." Seven to eight cane seedlings can be planted within three feet of each row of sugarcane. This way you can achieve the best results! ”

In general, five or six sugarcane seedlings are planted within a foot of sugarcane field, but there is no way to give enough fertilizer to crops in this era, which will also damage the yield.

Liang Chuan was talking eloquently on the side, and the two old men couldn't interject at all on the side, so they could only cooperate from time to time and say, yes, ah, ah, where would Zheng Ruoying know that his two old men were a little better than himself, although Liang Chuan couldn't practice it, but the theory was one set at a time, and it was completely the experience that others had worked hard to sum up, and they were all tempered by thousands of times, where there would be mistakes!
