After all, many of the techniques of ridges, fallow and fertilization have been gradually perfected, and farmers even know how to plant soybeans in the last season to ensure the fertility of the fields.

At the end of the day, it's a matter of farm tools. Liu Tao has been here for two months, and most of the things he sees are wooden farm tools, very few iron ones, and most of them are small iron parts wrapped on top of farm tools, and the main body is still wood.

This means that it is difficult to dig deeply, and it takes a lot of time and effort to cultivate at the same time......

"The Hu people in the clouds all learned the farming techniques of the past from the Han people, or did they already have them?" Liu Tao suddenly thought of this question.

"No one pays attention to this, does it?" Lu Yan thought about it, but he didn't know very well, "Is there a difference?" ”

"Those people need to cultivate twenty to thirty acres of fields each, or even fifty acres each, and if they are intensively cultivated, can they really take care of so many fields?" Liu Tao raised his own question, "If you have to take care of so many fields, so you can only give up intensive farming, then it is understandable, if the cultivation technology is not qualified, it is a waste at all!" ”

"Then it's really ......" Lu Yan seemed to remember that when his people came over, the cultivation here had already ended, and the seedlings had already grown.

This means that they have already done the cultivation much earlier, but the problem is how one person has to cultivate so many fields?

"Remember, a month ago, I asked all the fields in the county to have seedlings?" Liu Tao asked.

"Yes, there were still many people crying and crying that they couldn't pull it out...... In the end, we can only ask one of the most experienced old farmers to tell them why they want to thin the seedlings. Lu Yan remembered.

Thinking of this, I realized that even the knowledge that even the local Han people farmers knew, these naturalized Hu farmers didn't know. Was it because I was too isolated before, or because of the language barrier, I couldn't learn more advanced knowledge......

However, the problem of poor and even crude agricultural technology could be said to have been exposed at that time. As a result, I realized this problem, and I only found out after my brother reminded me!

Lu Yan blamed himself a little, he was the county chief of Yunzhong County, but he didn't even notice such a simple thing.

"There's no need to blame yourself...... Liu Tao looked at him, and then comforted, "Without your efforts, I don't have the extra energy to notice this part." After all, you and I both know what the most important affairs in Yunzhong County are. ”

In the final analysis, it is the Hu and Han problem, there are many Hu people who can speak Chinese, but more do not know, or say that they are not clear, and if they are in a hurry, it is a Xianbei language, and as a result, others mean that they are scolding themselves.

Many times a quarrel becomes a brawl, and everything stems from a misunderstanding of the language barrier. Even if they can speak Chinese, it is also a dialect on this side of the cloud, and they can't speak official language, so foreign traders can't communicate with these people, and they are even worried that they are planning their own goods.

On the side of Yunzhong County, the problem of getting along with Hu and Han is the first priority, and many times everyone is dealing with this kind of thing.

Other issues are also serious, such as infrastructure. After all, from time to time, Xianbei people go south, or a southern Xiongnu pass through Wuyuan County...... The agriculture of Yunzhong County, under the effect of his magic, is growing gratifyingly, but it is easy to be ignored.

"That being said, it was my negligence in the end." Lu Yan still felt a little remorseful, so he promised Liu Tao.

In terms of talent, he can't compare to Xun Yu, if he can't even compare with the practical aspect, then he should really abdicate and give way to Xian. Lu Yan secretly made up his mind that he must work harder.

On the other hand, the fact that the cloud is about to face a harvest is naturally spreading. It is more than a month earlier than the normal harvest time, and it is really incomprehensible that the summer solstice has not yet arrived, and the result is actually about to be harvested.

"This Yunzhong County is also strange, the crops are not growing quickly, and the grains are full, it looks like it should be a bumper harvest." After going down in the evening, Xun Yue came forward and summoned everyone.

"Then I also noticed......" Xin Bi came forward, "I also sent people to other counties to take a look, and found that it is still growing over there, and the growth is not very good, and it is estimated that the harvest will also be affected." Just why, this side of the cloud is so abnormal? ”

"I've learned a little bit about this." Xun Yu is in charge of this aspect of things, and in agriculture, he naturally pays a little attention, which is indeed the difference between him and Lu Yan, "It is said that Taishou presided over the dredging of the irrigation canal, and then sent someone to overturn the car, so the problem of irrigation has been well solved." ”

After a pause, he continued: "It's just that why does it grow so fast, on the Hu people's side, it seems that many people believe that Liu Tao is a messenger sent by the gods, and it is he who brought all this. ”

"That's basically, isn't it almost the same as Xiangrui?" Yin Yu thought for a while and said.

"Anyway, what is that overturned car?" Simbi asked, apparently he didn't know much about that.

Also known as a keel waterwheel, it is ultimately a device that pushes water from one place to the other. Farmers use their feet to divert water directly from the canal to irrigate their fields, which is much more convenient than carrying water slowly. Xun Yu explained.

After a pause, he added: "I asked the craftsman, this overturned car seems to have been created by Bi Lan, one of the ten permanent attendants. ”

Hearing that it was invented by the Ten Standing Attendants, most of the surrounding scholars were silent. The class position makes it necessary for them to criticize the Ten Permanent Servants, and most of the objects they create are described as 'strange and ingenious' and 'laborious and costly'.

But the problem is that now the overturned car invented by Bi Lan is really useful for farmland irrigation, so it will be embarrassing. Praise can't be praised, scolding can't stand, just keep silent.

"It's just that this crop can be harvested in less than two months, this is already auspicious, right?" Du Xi said, it can be regarded as changing the topic, saving him from continuing to be embarrassed like this.

"That's not the case......" Xun Yu shook his head, "I have personally seen the situation of the fields, those Hu people's farming skills are so bad that the yield should be similar to ordinary farmland, or even slightly inferior, the early harvest is indeed strange, but in order to cherish the soil, it is impossible to plant another season......

In other words, in fact, in terms of results, it doesn't make sense that this season's crops grow fast.

"The cultivation skills of these Hu people are too poor...... Xun Ji was a little dissatisfied, "It's a waste to let them cultivate the fields!" ”

"The problem was that there weren't so many people who came to farm before." Xun Di reminded, "Moreover, no one wants to teach them. ”

"After teaching them, who knows when they will betray the Han and bring these techniques back to Xianbei?" Xun still maintains an objection to this.

"Xianbei and the Southern Xiongnu did not attack us at one time, they plundered a batch of materials and people every year, and if they really wanted to obtain the technology of farming, they had already obtained it. It can only be said that they don't value farming technology at all. Chen Yi shook his head.

"Everyone!" Guo Jia suddenly came forward, "Have you ever thought that the crops can be harvested so quickly, it is really related to Taishou?" ”

"Of course it matters......," Xun Ji replied, "This is not to dredge the canal and build a rollover." It is said that after autumn, the canals will be further expanded, so that the next year's harvest will be better. ”

"So that's what I said." Xun Yue also noticed a problem, "Taishou also gave Hu Ren a test, and those who passed are now in evening classes." I've seen it, and the Taishou course is very superficial, but it is very meaningful. No wonder he said that those who pass the test will be given Chinese nationality. ”

Give the Hu people a test, and those who pass the test can get Han nationality, which is also a big deal in the cloud. After all, according to the previous custom, there was no way to obtain Han nationality if you did not live for three generations and pay taxes.

At first, a few of them thought it was nonsense, but after watching Liu Tao's course and understanding the inside story of this test, they were more impressed. Perhaps, this is indeed a solution to the underpopulation of border counties.

"No, no, no, I'm talking about another aspect...... Guo Jia shook his head, "Guo has been idle during this time, meeting friends with drinks everywhere in the county, and then having contact with the county order. ”

That's what you're embarrassed to say...... Everyone gave this posterior a white eye, everyone present has a position, it is this Guo Jia, relying on the relationship with Xun Yu, during this time, almost all of them ate and drank together, and had nothing to do.

Will Guo Jia care about other people's eyes? Of course he won't! Among scholars, he himself is a more maverick type, and the title of 'prodigal son' can be seen.

"The county order is from the Zhen clan in Zhongshan, and its patriarch will have the eldest daughter Xu and Taishou, which can be regarded as an in-law relationship." Guo Jia recalled, "I drank with him last night and had a good conversation, and I vaguely heard him mention that Taishou was an immortal disciple and had studied immortal law. ”

"Do you believe this kind of drunken talk?" Xun Yu shook his head, as far as men are concerned, drunken words and love words are the most unbelievable things. Because of this, he couldn't help but complain.

"Although you can't listen to drunken words, there is also a saying called 'spitting the truth after drinking.'" Guo Jia replied, "Besides, it doesn't come from nothing, since he dares to say that, of course he has his own credentials." Besides, the situation in Yunzhong County is indeed a bit strange. ”

"Could it be...... Taishou, do you really know how to do immortal arts? Simbi muttered, and everyone began to ponder.

"There's no definite evidence, but there's always a truth behind anything bizarre, right?" Guo Jia spread out his hands, "In addition, I have recently started to contact the master book. When he was too guarded to raise the army, he served as a subordinate of the marching master, and he must know more things than the county order. ”

"Oh, that Jane's book......" In everyone's minds, an existence suddenly came to mind, unkempt, a little sloppy, and at the same time as if he had been drunk all day long.

Many people can't understand why this kind of person can serve as the chief bookkeeper, and many people hold their breath and want to replace him.

"Be careful, I've noticed this person, it's not as simple as it seems." Xun Yu reminded him.

"Haha, you've all shown up in front of Taishou, but I haven't. Externally, I am just a scholar who has come to study in the clouds, and I am only in contact with him to discuss knowledge. Guo Jia smiled, and then looked at Xun Yu, "Besides, if you really encounter any problems, Wen Ruo will come forward to protect me, right?" ”

"Yes, yes, I'll do it." Xun Yu was speechless, is this guy determined to eat himself? Careless dating, careless dating!

After a pause, he asked rhetorically: "But even if you know that Taishou really knows immortal arts, so what?" ”

That's right! This question is also a little abrupt, even if you know the Taishou Immortal Technique, what can you do?

"I know how to do immortal arts, I changed my horns, that's a demon!" Guo Jia teased, "But if it's a member of the Han family, what should I do?!" ”
