Yifei Qian felt like a spinning top that was whipped up and spun by an invisible whip, and he didn't stop at all, and just now he and Xu Shu and Cui Hou finalized the matters about the trade of the caravan and the rumors related to the spread, so he found Zao Yi again, and in the field, checked the relevant data and questions about the experimental field. With-Dream- . lā

Farming in the Han Dynasty, on the whole, is naturally not as fine as that of later generations, and problems such as plant spacing, ploughing depth, top dressing, etc., all depend to a large extent on the personal experience of old farmers.

However, this is only compared to later generations, and at this time period, it is estimated that only Roman agriculture can roughly compete with the Han Dynasty.

In the Han Dynasty, basically most of the vegetables and fruits seen in later generations have been seen, of course, those imported products are still not available for the time being.

"Wheat" is the main production in the north, and it is also the most planted in this area of Pingyang, and also occupies a part of "millet" and "millet", as for "rice", it is more planted in the south of the big river, mainly in Jingzhou and Yangzhou.

Although in the Han Dynasty, most people still liked "millet", but because the flour made from wheat can provide a lot of heat and nutrients, and can also be made into military hard flour cakes and other products for long-distance marching, so for comprehensive considerations, the area around Pingyang is naturally required to grow wheat.

In addition to these staple crops, Binh Duong also grows "soybean" and "sorghum", as well as some "hemp", which are all crops suitable for growing in the large river basin.

Vegetables, basically, are mainly "woad", "mushroom", "leek", "mustard", "brassica", "cranberry", of course, like white radish, large winter melon and the like.

It seems to be the common belief of all rulers that the peasants facing the loess with their backs to the sky are the best food producers, the best sources of soldiers, and at the same time the tax bearers of the state. This concept, even across China and abroad, throughout ancient and modern times, and now in the huge Roman Empire in the West, even said that those who engage in agriculture have no evil intentions and are the strongest and most courageous warriors of the country, so praising a person as a good farmer and a good farmer is the greatest praise for him.

It's like Zhuge also called himself a rural villager when he went out of the mountain......

Countryman, this word was really not a derogatory term in the Han Dynasty.

"Zijing, the next wheat will not be planted for the time being......" Fei Qian squatted on the top of the field, held a handful of soil with his hand, felt the viscosity and humidity of the soil, and said to Zaoyi.

Zao Yi was a little confused, and didn't understand why Fei Qian would say such words, "Don't grow wheat?" So what to plant? ”

Wheat, parts winter wheat and spring wheat.

To the south of the Great Wall, winter wheat is the main crop, while spring wheat is farther north. Winter wheat, if you want to plant, that is, basically turn the field and sow it at this point in time, and then in the spring, the winter wheat will begin to joint, and it will enter the maturity period in May and June, and it can be harvested.

But the question is......

Fei Qian threw the soil in his hand back to the ground and frowned, the soil was a little dry, so it was not good, I don't know if it will snow this winter......

Now Fei Qian is worried about the snow and not at all.

"Zijing, do you feel colder this year?" Fei Qianha let out a breath and watched as the breath turned into a long string of white smoke in the air, and then quickly dissipated in the cold autumn wind.

Zao only thought for a moment, then nodded.

"Wheat needs to survive the winter, if this weather continues to be so cold, and it doesn't improve by spring, then ......" Fei Qian sighed.

Zao only listened to Fei Qian's words, and couldn't help but widen his eyes, "This...... If that's the case, it's going to be a problem......"

Zao Yi was originally very interested in crops and other plants, and he basically ran to the fields every day since Jing Xiang, and now he is considered to be a crop expert for most of them, so he also feels very tricky about what Fei Qian said.

Frost damage is basically the enemy of winter wheat, because the plant characteristics of winter wheat overwintering, in the case of a long span of winter, a sharp drop in temperature, and continuous low temperatures, it will suffer disasters, resulting in reduced yields, and in serious cases, no yields.

"Let's plant spring wheat instead...... Fei Qian said.

Zao Yi was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "If it's a cold winter this year, it will have to be like this." However, if all of them are not planted, the farmers will have nothing to do, and the other may be criticized......"

The change from spring wheat to winter wheat is not only a change in time, but also the crystallization of the wisdom of farmers from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period. The earliest wheat is the same as other crops, planted in spring and harvested in autumn, but in the process of long-term planting, Chinese industrious farmers found that wheat is more cold-tolerant and drought-tolerant than other crops, and in this area of the large river basin, spring is windy and dry, if there is no sufficient water source irrigation when wheat is sown, and it is easy to be damaged by wind, so they try to change from spring to winter, and because of this change, winter wheat can be harvested in May and June, shortening and alleviating in the usual** The time of the month before the autumn harvest is not harvested.

Fei Qian is also silent, will there be frost damage this winter? Of course, if the cold wind in Siberia is blocked by Yinshan, maybe not this year, but only next year, then such a move will naturally be criticized.

If it is cold this winter, then everyone will naturally be happy, but on the contrary, if there is no severe cold, then it will naturally have some impact on the reputation of Fidgen.

"Zijing's words are also reasonable, in this way, a quarter of the winter wheat will be planted, and the rest will be planted with millet next year...... Fei Qian finally made a decision, not completely for the sake of moderation, but if he does not plant some for the farmers to see with their own eyes, there will always be some gossip.

The key is that most of the farmers in Binh Duong have only settled in this area for a year or two, and the sense of belonging is not very strong.

Fei Qian continued: "...... ......"This is not only to let the farmers have something to do and not be too leisurely, but also to destroy the growth environment of the locust eggs and reduce the number of adult locusts."

"Yui." As a pawn farmer, these things are naturally within the jurisdiction of Zaoyi.

Fei Qian stood up, patted the soil on his hands, and said, "Speaking of wheat, I wonder if Zijing has ever eaten the new steamed buns during this time?" It's getting late, and there's a hotel in the east of the city that's doing well, so how about I invite Zijing to try it? ”

Zao Yi also stood up and said with a smile: "I've eaten it, it's really good." Zhonglang wants to have a treat, so he just obeys his fate......"

Steamed buns, that is, steamed buns in later generations. However, it was not an easy thing to eat steamed buns in the Han Dynasty, and flour was not something to talk about casually, you could have it if you wanted to.

It was not until the arrival of a large number of Huang's craftsmen that several hydraulic mills were built in succession, and there was a way to completely crush the wheat to a sufficiently fine extent, otherwise it would be impossible to provide much food for people just by relying on manpower to push that kind of small stone mill.

It is precisely because of the production of a large amount of fine flour in the water-powered mill that more tricks have appeared on the ground in Binh Duong......

Productivity always comes first, both in ancient and modern times. ...
