The next day, Wang Junlin began to inspect the salt works, and the first thing he saw was the fertile land that had been cultivated, and there was still time to cultivate some grain.

Lian Zhongtao selected 6,000 salt workers from more than 30,000 salt workers and salt slaves, who were specially responsible for boiling salt, and the shipyard selected more than 1,000 people, another 3,000 salt dings, and the remaining 20,000 people were farmers, whose main job was to farm.

Wang Junlin took Chen Danying, Perfume, Luo Shixin, Li Xuanba and others, dressed in civilian clothes, without alarming any farmers, and was accompanied by Qian Zhengkuo and another newly appointed agricultural officer of the salt works.

In front of him, there was a family of five farmers who had turned from salt workers on this piece of fertile land of about ten acres, and their family had a distributed ox and a plow designed by Nie Xiaoyu himself.

According to Qian Zhengkuo, the agricultural officer he recommended was quite proficient in agricultural affairs, so Wang Junlin deliberately taught him and casually asked about the use of the plow.

The farmer's name is Liu Xingyuan, he is in his forties, his skin is dark and rough, and he said confidently at this time: "Lord Hui, when these fields were reclaimed, they had already sent people to plough for the first time, and after the beginning of spring, they also distributed dung, and now they can be cultivated and fertilized. ”

Wang Junlin looked surprised, looked like a student, and asked: "What is the difference between three cows and two cows?" ”

"The three oxen are deeper, and the plough can be as deep as one foot, which also saves one person than the latter method."

"What happens when you're done?"

Liu Xingyuan said: "The ditch is wet soil, the soil is better, the seeds must be sown in the ditch, if you plant wheat, you can start in March, but this year there is only one ripe." If you plant a cooked white radish, you can harvest it in April, you can plant garlic in April, you can harvest it in May, plant it and plant a small blue, and after harvesting it in September, you can plant this year's winter wheat. In this way, it can be ripened more every year. This should be notified to every household as soon as possible, otherwise the average farmer will only know about grain and wheat, and will not know the method of crop rotation and intercropping. ”

When Wang Junlin heard that it was all vegetables, he didn't

How can there be a staple food, hesitated and said: "So there will be no wheat harvest this year, this is the staple food, is there any other way." ”

Liu Xingyuan shook his head and said, "This is the best way." In this way, the soil can not be idle, otherwise only one season of wheat will be harvested this year, and the land will not be fattened. ”

Wang Junlin had never farmed in his previous life, and when he heard that Liu Xingyuan was so professional, he said: "Qian Zhengkuo, Liu Xingyuan, you will further verify what Liu Xingyuan just said, if there is no problem, you will plant according to this method." ”

Unexpectedly, someone next to him suddenly said: "My lord, what this Lord Liu said is not right." ”

"Oh?" Wang Junlin turned his head and saw that it was Xiangnan, who had followed hundreds of scholars to demonstrate and protest in Zhuoxian County at the post house where he lived. At that time, they had four scholars who risked death to go in to meet Wang Junlin, one of them was a sword god who pretended to assassinate Wang Junlin, and the other three were Xiang Nan, Mu Xuhong, and Zhao Shuren, who were subdued by Wang Junlin by thunder and sent to Du Ruhui for exercise.

In the past few months, the three scholars have made great progress, and they are no longer scholars who only know empty talk, and the three of them are all from poor families, and their families themselves are tenants, so Wang Junlin deliberately brought Xiangnan with him when he came to the salt field this time.

Seeing that it was Xiang Nan, who had not spoken, Wang Junlin couldn't help but be interested: "Xiang Nan, why do you say that he is wrong?" ”

Xiang Nan said: "My lord, what this Lord Liu said is the method of continuous cropping, but the land of the salt field is just reclaimed, the soil is insufficient, and it is difficult to make up for it by manure alone, no matter how much it is cultivated this year, it will not be a good harvest, so the most important thing this year is to fertilize the land, not to force more ripeness, if according to what Lord Liu said, only use the soil in the ditch, not to mention the harvest of a few materials, and it is impossible to fertilize the field." ”

When Wang Junlin heard what he said, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he asked, "Then how do you say to plant?" It's better to look at it. ”

Liu Xingyuan, the agricultural officer who was selected and promoted by Qian Zhengkuo, looked at Xiang Nan and talked eloquently, and was unconvinced, but seeing that it was the person next to Lord Taishou, he didn't dare to refute, so he waited for the other party to continue.

Being watched by so many people, Xiang Nan blushed a little, so he simply brought a tool to a farmer, bowed his head and skillfully dug a shallow ditch with a hoe, and piled the excavated soil on the edge of the ditch to make a ridge shape

state, and then said: "My lord, I think it is best to use the method of interplanting and sandwiching this year, so that the soil on the ridge can also be used, grain and beans are intercropped, wheat is planted in the ditch, and beans are planted on the ridge, and when the wheat is ripe, the beans are ripe, which is also a material." But it is best to plant mung beans, and after harvesting, it is the best green manure. ”

Speaking of this, he dug the ridge into a ditch again, and the soil was piled on the original ditch to become a ridge, and continued: "At that time, after beating the green manure, the ridge will be ploughed into a ditch, and the ditch will be turned into a ridge, and after the manure is evenly fertilized again, the soil will be sufficient. ”

The demonstration was very clear and clear, Wang Junlin turned his head to look at Liu Xingyuan, who hurriedly said with a ashamed face: "This lord is right, it is a humble and ill-conceived position, please punish the lord." ”

Wang Junlin said: "It's not enough to be punished, but since you are a farmer in the salt farm, you must be pragmatic in making decisions in the future, and you must not take it for granted." ”

Wang Junlin said very lightly, but what is his identity, Liu Xingyuan has already sweated profusely, next to Qian Zhengkuo as a recommender, there is also sweat on his forehead, and he also complains about this Liu Xingyuan in his heart, this guy claims to be proficient in farming, and today he also specially brought it over, that is, to let him behave well in front of Lord Taishou, and be reused by Lord Taishou, it can be regarded as he has a descendant of his own in the salt field, but he was refuted by a young scholar next to Lord Taishou and was speechless, Although Taishou-sama did not say that he was rich, the latter understood that there was also a responsibility to recommend.

Wang Junlin ignored the two of them anymore and said to Xiang Nan: "Xiang Nan, I know that your family is from a tenant farmer, but I think what you just said is not only farming experience, but you have specially studied this aspect."

Xiang Nan hurriedly said: "Lord Hui, the humble post was originally a tenant farmer of the Lu family, and after the family handed over the grain to the Lu family every year, there was not much left, so I had to think of collecting more food from the land, and the humble post happened to read two agricultural books......

Wang Junlin's eyes lit up and asked, "What agricultural book?" ”

Xiang Nan replied honestly: "Wang Zhen's Agricultural Book" and "Qi Min's Technique", and others such as "The Book of Victory" have also been slightly read. ”
