In this era, the understanding of silkworm raising felt that brocade silk was a precious thing, and silkworm seeds were naturally delicate, so God deliberately let the silkworm survive only halfway.

Most of the silk produced by the surviving silkworms is of poor quality, and "only half of those who can weave silk" can show the preciousness of silk brocade.

Attribute it all to the fate and the bad luck of the silkworm house.

Feng Yong smiled, looked at the river in front of him, and his voice was a little distant, "When I was a year ago, my wife also asked me, saying why the land on my village can fetch more grain than other places, Sanniang knows how I answered?" ”

"Naturally, I know that my brother once said to his wife that to grow good food, it is nothing more than the right time and place, and the time is not human, but the location can change because of manpower. The elder brother also said that everything must find its root in order to get what you need. ”

It seems that Guan Ji has paid a lot of attention to herself, and remembers that when she said this, she was not by Huang Yueying's side, and she should have heard this from Huang Yueying's mouth.

Feng Yong thought like this in his heart, and said in his mouth, "Actually, it's time...... Forget it, this silkworm raising is also the same as growing food. ”

If you want it to rain, you will shoot at the sky, think that the weather is clear, or shoot at the sky, and never ask if it will hurt God.

"As long as we find the root cause of why some silkworms die, why some silkworms survive, and why some of the silk they spit out can be made into silk, and some can't, then we can do better than others by raising silkworms and planting them like growing food."

Although the Han people have long known how to raise silkworms and weave cloth, their understanding of silkworm raising has always been in a state of breeding according to their own experience, and there are very few unified narratives.

Even if there are peasant women and farmers who sum up their experience, no one listens to them because their status is too low.

And the idle reader summed it up that it was used to pretend to show off, and after showing off, he locked it up and threw it in the room to eat ashes.

And the reader who has sincerely summed it up, two hundred years later, there is such a person.

This agricultural druid, named Jia Sixian, wrote a book "Qi Min Yao Shu", which is the first strange book of agriculture, and this book has reference value even more than a thousand years later.

But so what? For more than a thousand years after he wrote this book, the book was not only used by the ruling class to make a show, but when it was finished, it was thrown back into the library and continued to be left to eat dust.

Then in the Hereafter, the children and grandchildren will point to this book and say, "Look, our ancestors are very powerful, XXX years before you."

However, it still didn't work......

Those who should pay royalties to others still have to pay the same royalties, but not only that, but they pay more than others who also pay patents - who called your ancestors so powerful? Then pay more!

So when Feng Yong said that he knew about silkworm raising, Guan Ji's eyes widened again, "Brother, you even know this?" ”

"A little bit of understanding, a little understanding."

Feng Tu looked at the sky at a forty-five degree angle, his expression was a little proud, and he wanted to fan the feather fan like the old demon Zhuge in "Red Cliff", but there was nothing in his hand, so he had to give up.

Silkworm species die a lot, and they are basically diseased or insect infestations.

As long as you pay attention to disinfection and insect pests before the silkworm room starts to raise silkworms, at least the survival rate of silkworms can be greatly improved.

As for the quality of silk, it's even simpler.

The type of silkworm is one thing, and the type of mulberry leaf is another.

There are requirements for the types of mulberry trees used to raise silkworms in later generations.

Coincidentally, there are many silkworms in the south, and Feng Tu turtle happened to be a southerner in his previous life.

When I was a child, some of my classmates' families even relied on raising silkworms to sell money for them to study.

The type of silkworm Feng Yong has no choice, he is not a druid, he can have a silkworm hybrid to choose the best, but he can choose the mulberry tree.

As for how many years to grow mulberry before it can be used...... That's all too old a practice, I have my own Scientology, otherwise where did Fengzhuang's tea seedlings come from?

How good cuttings are!

The leaves grow in the first year, and the fruit will bear in the second year, so why wait for a few years?

Thinking of this, Feng Tu Turtle couldn't help but laugh a few times.

"Brother can say it if he wants to, and he laughs weirdly!"

Guan Ji nudged Feng Yong dissatisfiedly.

"Well, I'll tell you. Usually people don't live half of the silkworms, because the silkworms are sick or have insect infestations, as long as the source of the disease is removed, in addition to the insect pests, the silkworms can naturally survive. ”

"Silkworms eat mulberry leaves, but mulberry leaves are also divided into types, take the kind of large and thick mulberry leaves to feed silkworms, the resulting silkworm cocoons are not only thick, but also tough, much better than ordinary cocoons."

Feng Yong thought about the mulberry leaves that later generations used to raise silkworms, and compared them.

In this era, mulberry trees were planted behind basically every house, and Feng Yong saw many young and old, but the leaves were rarely compared with those used to raise silkworms in later generations.

The large and thick mulberry leaves are the basic standard for raising sericulture mulberry leaves, and Feng Yong still knows it.

Some of the mulberry trees in later generations may have been cultivated artificially, but even if this is the case, it must have the original variety, right?

You can't cultivate it yourself, but it's still okay to carefully select some good quality mulberry trees as mother plants.

Guan Ji thought for a moment, frowned slightly, and then his eyes lit up again, and there was a "horn" sound, his hands were clasped palms, and his voice was slightly urgent, as if he remembered something.

"Little sister has seen a kind of mulberry tree, its leaves are mostly white, as big as palms, thick and juicy," I saw her staring at Feng Yong, but her eyes were not focused, as if she was talking to Feng Yong, and as if she was muttering to herself.

"No wonder the silk you get from that place is not only more than elsewhere, but also much better. It seems that it is really as my brother said, and the truth is here. ”

How could there be such a good thing?

Feng Tu was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Where do people have this kind of mulberry tree?" ”

Guan Ji listened, came back to his senses, and smiled slightly, "The brother of this family is no stranger, it is the prime minister's grange." ”

Feng Yong's face froze.

"Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Guan Ji shook his head, "It's not the Prime Minister's Mansion, it's the grange where the first emperor rewarded the Prime Minister, and there is a mulberry forest planted there." Every time the lady comes to the silkworm breeding season, she has to live there for a period of time, just to raise silkworms and weave cloth. ”

Zhuge Old Demon's family property Feng Yong is naturally clear, "There are eight hundred mulberry trees, and fifteen acres of thin fields." ”

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" remembers very clearly.

Some people say that fifteen hectares is a lot, and 1,500 acres of land!

However, this is not how the accounts are calculated, and the fields of ancient times cannot be measured from the perspective of later generations.

The information of Shu Han is too incomplete, but take the Western Jin Dynasty, which is closest to the Three Kingdoms, for comparison.

According to the "Book of Jin Food and Goods", in the early years of the Western Jin Dynasty, there were clear regulations on the number of fields occupied by officials: "The first product occupies 50 hectares, the second product is 45 hectares, and the third product is 40 hectares ......". The following is in order, "the eighth product is fifteen hectares, and the ninth product is ten hectares".

It can be seen that although Zhuge Old Demon is a very popular minister, his land is only equal to the number of fields occupied by the low-level officials.

But this Huang Yueying is amazing, and she can plant 800 mulberry plants better than others.

I only heard Guan Ji say again, "Back then, the first emperor heard that the grange was an auspicious house, so he rewarded it to the prime minister." Later, the silkworms raised in the grange every year not only spit more silk than other families, but also most of them can be made into silk brocade. ”

"Everyone felt that the rumors were really true, and the prime minister often said that he had won the favor of the first emperor because of this......"

When Feng Yong heard this, he really felt worthless for Huang Yueying, and worked hard to plant 800 mulberry trees, and worked hard to raise silkworms and weave cloth, and in the end it became Liu Bei's credit......

How can this be argued?

Thinking of Huang Yueying's appearance again, Feng Tuqiu couldn't help but sigh again, if it were a change in the next generation, Zhuge Old Demon would marry a woman like Huang Yueying, I don't know how many people would envy to death?

You can go to the kitchen at home, you can make inventions in a research room, and you can be a qualified president in a company......

The key body is still so good, and the genes are simply perfect!

However, Feng Yong only dared to mumble two words in his heart, but he had to echo in his mouth, "The auspicious house is naturally an auspicious house, not an auspicious house, how can such a good mulberry tree be planted?" ”

No matter what, Scientology was too weak at this time, so it had to bow to feudal superstition first.

"It's just that there is also the credit of the lady. There is a way, Tianxingjian, a gentleman is self-reliant. If you change to a lazy woman, it is a good house, but I am afraid that even mulberry trees will not be able to grow. ”

Although Hanzhong is far away from Jincheng, as long as there is cuttings technology, it must not be difficult to transport some branches.

Even if you can't transport the branches, the cuttings in Jincheng are alive, and it is easy to transport them over.

The most difficult thing is to ask the old demon Zhuge for the mother plant......

Thinking of Zhuge Old Demon's temperament of wanting to scrape off the oil on the stone, Feng Tu Turtle had already imagined that bloody mouth.

However, seeing Guan Ji in front of him, Feng Yong still spoke, "So I still want to trouble Sanniang to go back to Jincheng in this matter." Tell the Zhang family that I want to grow mulberry hemp and see if they are willing. ”

If you are willing, you must be willing, how can you grow grain and grow mulberry hemp to get money quickly? Got a lot of money?

This can be regarded as a compensation for Zhang Xingyi in the matter of taking cheese for the credit of Zhao Guang and others.

Although this compensation is a bit big, since the object is Zhang Xingyi, it is not a big deal.

At present, Zhuge Old Demon is in power, and he can't curry favor with Adou and Zhang Xingcai openly, but currying favor with Zhang Xingyi can be regarded as a roundabout way.

How can a long-term investment be effective?

Guan Ji nodded, "The concubine listens to her brother." Just don't know when to go? ”

"I wanted to wait for the paper to be made, but I'm afraid it's too late, Sanniang will see when it will be convenient these days, and she can start at any time."

Feng Yong had a slight regret.

Take the paper and ask the old demon Zhuge for mulberry branches, and I think I will succeed.

Therefore, now I can only hope that my own family will not let me down and really make good paper.

But even if you can't make paper, mulberry hemp has to continue to grow.

If you can't plant the kind of mulberry tree in Zhuge Old Demon Grange, you can also find other mulberry trees.

At most, it's a little more time.

The most important thing in this matter is the attitude of the Zhang family.

After a few days, if you really want to make paper, you can ask someone to send the paper back to Jincheng.

So Guan Ji will not miss anything when he returns to Jincheng at this time.

"The concubine understood."

After Guan Ji said this, his expression suddenly froze, he listened to it for a while, stood up suddenly, and looked somewhere.

Feng Yong was startled, thinking that something had happened, so he quickly stood up and looked at Guan Ji's eyes, only to see a few people not far away carrying the basket on their backs, and bending down from time to time to find something.

"Huh? That's not ......"

Feng Yong squinted his eyes for a moment, and then said, "Amei? How did she get here? ”

"It's Amei, and the medical workers of the Fan family."

Guan Ji's eyesight is better than Feng Yong's, and she said with certainty.

The two of them came out of the grass, and a few people not far away also saw it, Amei stretched out her arm and waved it, and her voice came from the wind, "Lord-"

Ah Mei said something to the people next to her, so they walked over to this side together.

Getting closer, Feng Yong finally saw clearly that it was Fan A and his three apprentices, followed by two old soldiers with weapons on their bodies.

"I've seen the lord and Guan Niangzi."

Ame saluted.

"You don't have to be so polite."

Feng Yong stopped the people behind him from wanting to salute, "The salute is for outsiders to see, I don't need to be so polite here." ”

As he spoke, he looked curiously at the back basket behind Amei, "What are you looking for?" ”

"Back to the lord, the maid is learning to identify the herbs with Elder Fan."

Ame replied.

"Why are you interested in studying medicine again?"

Feng Yong asked.

Ah Mei lowered her head a little embarrassed, "The adults left those two medical books, and the maid wants to learn to see if she can learn them." ”

Feng Yong was speechless.

Can geniuses really do whatever they want?

"Doctor Fan, my son of a, I'm causing you trouble."

Feng Yong had no choice but to say to Fan A behind him.

When Fan A heard this, he hurriedly said with some trepidation, "I don't deserve Feng Langjun's words, Amei's talent is so high that even the disciples of the villain's sect can't compare." ”

Saying that, he glanced at Amei with some regret, "It's just a pity that Amei's mother is a daughter......"

Oh, I was wrong, geniuses can do whatever they want.

But what happened to Amei's daughter? With me, she can do whatever she wants.

"Besides, the treasure book of Mrs. Amei's family is a rare treasure in the eyes of medical workers such as me. It's already an honor for the villain to get a glimpse of what he wants, what is it to be able to teach Amei Niangzi something? ”

It turned out that Amei took the two books to make a trade.

Feng Yong glanced at Ah Mei appreciatively, this girl did a good job.

Since he knew that Fan A had an opinion of himself, Feng Yong had no good idea, but he could only look forward to the passage of time, so that he could personally feel the difference between the textile workshop and other places, and naturally change his original idea.

However, since he came to Hanzhong to repay the kindness of the Li family, he is also dedicated to his own duties on weekdays.

However, as soon as Feng Yong mentioned opening a medical hall and asking him to bring some disciples in the workshop, he was rejected by one hand, and there was no room for refusal.

This made Feng Yong very depressed.

In these days, medical skills are not something worth cherishing.

How many medical workers want to pass on their medical skills and can't find a successor, after all, they are lowly people.

Lao Tzu specially found someone to learn, you still don't want to pass on, what kind of truth!

How did Feng Tujiao know that the longer Fan A stayed in Nanxiang, the more panicked he felt.

This Feng Mingwen occupies a county alone, and organizes his own troops, privately trains the army, and even has to listen to his words in the county order, isn't this still ill-intentioned?

Here, even a slave is forbidden.

At the sound of a whistle, the entire workshop becomes silent.

Another whistle sounded, and suddenly there was no one to everyone working.

Back then, in the Cao thief barracks, you could only see this kind of appearance from the elite barracks, how could the ordinary army be so strict in advancing and retreating?

Plus those slaves, how many people are grateful to him?

Isn't this buying people's hearts?

The prime minister of the Han Dynasty is known as a rare wise man in the world, and he has never looked away at this Feng Mingwen, this young hero is only afraid that he is wrong, it should be a young hero.

It's just that I strayed into the wolf's den, and I don't know if I will be implicated in the future?
