There are guests at home, although Sun Xiangfu is sleepy, he can't be lazy in bed, under Uncle De's arrangement, the breakfast in the house is quite rich.

"South noodles in the north, eat noodles in the north, and when we get to the south, eat more noodles, don't dislike the cheap food in our small place, it's very real."

Sun Xiangfu was happy to eat with a big bowl of fish ball noodles, and he did not forget to sell these special foods of Jiuyuan County to several guests at home.

"Well, this salted duck egg is also good, and it produces more oil than the duck egg produced in Guanzhong." The eldest grandson Wuji launched an attack on the third salted duck egg, and praised while eating.

"The food in various places, because of some geographical factors, has different characteristics, to the north, the skewers are delicious, to Guanzhong, Luoyang, the pasta is delicious, but to the south of the Yangtze River, no matter how you do the pasta, you can't catch up with the taste of Chang'an Luoyang, this specialty of rice noodles, but it is very refreshing, and this duck meat ······"

Li Chunfeng has been in the north and south all these years, and when it comes to eating, it is endless, and everyone is happy to listen, after breakfast, it should have been time for Sun Xiangfu to teach the children of the peasant sect and more than a dozen little princes, however, it can be handed over to Sun Xiaomei to do it for him, recently, because of his habit of lazy bed, it has always been done by Sun Xiaomei.

Therefore, Sun Xiangfu, who has nothing to do, is ready to lead Sun Wuji to take the No. 1 Yuan Tian to have a look, after all, if he wants to learn all the gods of Jiuyuan County, he must have a certain understanding of the industry and operation mode of Jiuyuan County.

Li Chunfeng also asked to go along, so he brought it with him, and Zhen Qian went to the back house and chatted with Yu Xiu'er, Hongmei, and Chun Tao about some of the daily routines of having children.

After going out, the eldest grandson Wuji realized how convenient the traffic in Jiuyuan County is, even in the dry winter season, the ditches next to the cement main roads can be used for the two-way rapid passage of the Baishi boats, there are gates connecting the Yangtze River, they can ensure that these irrigation canals are fixed at a water level, similarly, these canals also undertake the internal waterway transportation of the fields, the river slope roadbed, generally much higher than the water surface, even if the local continuous heavy rainstorm weather, as long as the waterwheel is set up in the rice field, drain the water outside, It also ensures that the crops in the rice fields are not drowned.

The boat was soon propped up to the embankment of the No. 5 courtyard, and between the embankments, there was a large river that was much wider than the Grand Canal.

This river is more than 100 meters wide, deep enough to drive any existing heavy ship in the Tang Dynasty, with the follow-up of more and more fields, its length, will be longer and longer, in addition to the role of diversion of Yangtze River water for irrigation, but also can be all the waterway traffic in the field area, so that this area, any large goods, heavy goods, can easily and quickly go in and out, to the Yangtze River waterway.

The eldest grandson Wuji took a boat to this big river to Jiuyuan County, and after getting on the boat at the wharf next to this sluice yard, he only traveled a short distance to reach several other fields under the rule of Jiuyuan County.

At this time, the winter is dry, the water level in the Jiuyuan River is not high, there are no waves on the edge of the Yangtze River, the speed of the canopy boat with a penny is very fast, and it will not take long for them to reach the No. 1 field at the mouth of the river, Sun Xiangfu did not take the eldest grandson Wuji to cross the embankment to the No. 1 field, but directly let Zhang Ke and others who supported the boat prop up the boat to the duck shed on the edge of the river beach in Shanghe Village.

The duck sheds are built with pennies, and some nets thatch, if the Yangtze River water rises to the foot of the embankment, these duck sheds will definitely be quickly walked, so it is a temporary building, as long as the water recedes, everyone will take the penny things back, and they can be built again immediately, and it does not cost much to relocate.

Because the entire field of No. 1 Dayuan is the experimental field of Sun Xiangfu planting two seasons of hybrid rice, therefore, these fields do not need to be taken care of at all after the autumn harvest, and the ducks are put to eat all the insect eggs in the field, the missing millet and other things, and then they will spend the winter empty, and therefore, the people of the entire No. 1 Dayuan are particularly idle after the autumn harvest, except for each family to draw a man to the construction site to complete the last year of labor, the rest of the women, the elderly and children, most of them are busy with the new industry promoted by Sun Xiangfu.

At this time, the morning fog had long since dissipated, the sun was shining on the ground and the ground was warm, and there were many people gathered around the duck shed in Shanghe Village, most of them were women, who were neatly lined up on the grassy slope of the embankment, dancing a simple dance according to the beat of the drums.

The facts are clear that the Chinese people like to sing and dance the tradition, which has been passed down from generation to generation, when they solve the problem of food and clothing, they will think of using this way to please themselves, so the square dance culture of later generations can be strong to the point of exporting to foreign countries.

Sun Xiangfu didn't admit that this was a square dance, because this was obviously on the edge of the river embankment, and it wasn't a square at all!

But before they had approached, they heard a burst of laughter and curses, and it was supposed that the young man in charge of beating the drums had struck the wrong rhythm, which was heard by one of the dancing women.

"Let's not disturb them, let's just walk around the duck shed." Sun Xiangfu smiled and said to the eldest grandson Wuji.

"Your Jiuyuan County's industry is so big, they have free time, shouldn't they do more work, why is this the right time to work, but they dance and play here in groups?"

The eldest grandson Wuji, as a high-level manager, naturally has some managerial problems, he knows that the young and strong men in Jiuyuan County have gone to work on the construction site, this is a good weather, but the women are not good at working in the rear, maintaining the industry of Jiuyuan County, how can they still dance and have fun, the key is that he still needs big people like him to come to inspect to avoid them, which makes him a little uncomfortable.

"No matter how big the industry is, it also needs to combine work and rest, they should start working before dawn, otherwise, there will be no fresh ingredients for the diners' breakfast in each stall, and as long as they finish the day's work, the rest of the time is their free time, if we pull them to talk about business, it is unreasonable! Therefore, in the future, the managers of other counties must not use excessive people's power, consciously do things and passive things, the effect is completely different, long-term high-intensity work, will make them feel bored with labor, reduce efficiency, and easy to accumulate into diseases, the result, but not beautiful. ”

When the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, he suddenly didn't say anything, and he didn't say anything more, just followed Sun Xiangfu to see what he wanted to take him to see.

The duck shed really doesn't have much to look at, except for the output.

There were several half-grown children in the shed, kneeling on the ground, holding a chicken quills to write on the small book on the bench, seeing this scene, Sun Xiangfu remembered that today was a seven-day holiday for the children, and next to them, several long rows of baskets with dry straw were full of duck eggs.

"Dog, how many eggs did you pick up today?" Sun Xiangfu has lived in Shanghe Village for almost a year, and he naturally knows the children in the village, this boy named Gouzi is the one Sun Xiangfu knows well, about ten years old, the most skinny age, he used to be Wu Meiniang's follower, and now, he can even write his own homework.

"Forty-seven boxes, two hundred per box, a total of nine thousand four hundred, and eighty-two in fraction, but when Brother Tao who put the ducks comes back, they should be able to make up a few frames, the duck shed in our village has been forty-three days in a row, and the eggs have been laid more than 10,000, and today will not be an exception."

This little guy named Dog was full of cleverness, and this series of numbers came out, which made Changsun Wuji a little surprised.

Even Li Chunfeng, who was on the side, looked at the dog with curiosity on his face and said, "If this child is trained well, he may not be able to become an arithmetic master in the future." ”

Hearing him say this, Sun Xiangfu wanted to laugh, there is a famous saying in later generations, called 'nine-headed birds in the sky, Hubei Yankees on the ground', the first people to settle these fields are the local victims in the Jinghu area, their shrewdness is not comparable to those people of half-Hu blood in the north.

The dog's math level is not ranked among the children in Shanghe Village! You must know that the children of Shanghe Village, but they have been taught by Sun Xiangfu, officials of the Ministry of Agriculture, Wu Meiniang, and now Sun Xiaomei and others, who have been taught in shifts for a whole year, and these simple additions, subtraction, multiplication and divisions have long been no problem.

"How many ducks are there in the duck shed in the village, how many ducks are sold every day, and how many ducks are added?" Seeing that the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Chunfeng looked like they wanted to take the school exam, Sun Xiangfu took the lead in asking.

"There are 83,200 ducks in the village, about fifty percent are laying eggs, but not every day, about thirty percent of the ducklings who have just grown feathers can go into the water, and two percent of the old ducks that can be slaughtered at any time without laying eggs, according to the Chamber of Commerce's slaughter quota of fifty percent of the non-laying ducks per month, our village has to kill 8,320 ducks every month, with an average of two hundred and seventy-seven ducks per day, because the people of the Chamber of Commerce said that when calculating the number of inseparable things such as ducks and duck eggs, it should be rounded. As for the supplement, the duck hatchery will send us 10,000 whole numbers every month, but there will be some accidents and some deaths, and the actual number of new additions per month is less than 10,000, but a little more than the number of slaughtered. ”

After the dog's answer, the eldest grandson Wuji simply didn't even have the mind to take the school exam, he was just shocked that a village of 300 households could actually export more than 8,000 ducks and more than 300,000 duck eggs every month. It is said that this is still public property, and the people in the village still have private chickens and ducks in their homes.

"Little doll, do you want to become a disciple of the poor way? I can teach you more advanced arithmetic. Li Chunfeng stroked the dog's head and smiled.

"To be a Taoist? No, I already have a teacher, who is Teacher Sun's sister. ”

When the dog saw these strangers brought over by Sun Xiangfu, he did not feel inferior, even those little princes who had been living in the village during the rice planting period were all scared and cried by him, where was there anything to be afraid of, so he took Li Chunfeng's hand on his little head away very facelessly.

I heard that the dog's teacher was Sun Xiaomei, so Li Chunfeng didn't say anything, that girl is also a genius, at least, Li Chunfeng didn't think he could beat her in calculations.

Seeing this, Sun Xiangfu smiled and said, "If Daochang Li really wants to accept apprentices, don't talk about the entire Jiuyuan County, just this number of big ditches, stronger than dogs, I am afraid of no less than hundreds of people, as long as you say a word, I can discuss with the adults of their family, let them all worship you as a teacher, I am afraid, you have to teach it for a lifetime." ”

No. 1 courtyard, 1,500 households, every family has children, one or two less, five or six more, just this one wall, there are three or four thousand children, the dog's arithmetic is at most in the middle of the ranks, otherwise it will not be reduced to the duck shed, counting duck eggs, Li Chunfeng This is not seen those children who help the gang to settle accounts, that is really good at counting.

In fact, there is nothing good to look at in the duck shed, which belongs to the production link, Sun Xiangfu led the eldest grandson Wuji to see, that is, let him have a number of the scale of the duck industry at the village level, the entire Jiuyuan County, 30,000 households, there are more than 100 villages, near the river beach and the big river beach of the village, there are more than 30, these villages are the most suitable for the development of duck farming, therefore, each village has a duck industry, which has created the scale of Jiuyuan County can export 300,000 ducks and more than 10 million duck eggs every month.

Then, Sun Xiangfu took the eldest grandson Wuji and began to climb the embankment, here, there is another scene, that is, buffalo.

The dead grass on these embankments is just for the buffalo to beat their teeth, and outside the backyard of each house in the village, a bundle of bundled straw is like a hill, and there are 25 acres of rice fields here! There are still two crops a year, and if a family only raises one cow, they will not be able to eat all the straw, and most of it will be burned by the villagers as firewood for cooking, and then the ashes will be used to fertilize the fields.

Sun Xiangfu pointed to one of the big buffaloes and said, "This is the cow king of Shanghe Village, can't he meet with the cow king of Zhonghe Village, otherwise he will not be able to pull it if he fights, but these two short-tempered guys are the heroes of these two villages, when the people of the first courtyard moved in, Wu Shangshu allocated five hundred buffaloes to this side, and the three households shared one, guess how many cows there are in the entire first courtyard now?" ”

"Buffaloes need to be two years old to plow the land, and it takes three years to fully grow, and it usually takes one or two years to give birth to a litter, and at most six or seven hundred heads!"

"Hehe, you can guess wrong, the buffalo is generally eight months pregnant, there is more than half a month of estrus every year, the guidance is good, basically one child a year, just three years, No. 1 Dayuan not only achieved the progress of two households and one head, but also to the newly opened field, more than 200 calves, at most by the end of next year, you can achieve one cow per household, and export more than 500 calves every year."

"This cow also has a high-yield doorway?"

"Of course, any technology, as long as you study it, you can make progress, there are many rice fields here, the demand for cattle is high, for the study of cattle breeding, Shanyang has long had a set of technology, after the introduction of it, it is basically applicable, now, it can roughly make seventy or eighty percent of cows give birth to one litter per year, and in the future, it can make some progress."

In the era of advanced science and technology in later generations, if you raise beef cattle, you can raise them for slaughter in less than a year, and the No. 1 field is raising cultivated cattle, and the number has doubled for more than three years, which is not a good result in Sun Xiangfu's view.

However, this data almost shocked the jaw of the eldest grandson Wuji, he was previously the head of the household department, the main official and the people's livelihood economy, if the farming cattle of the Tang Dynasty can reproduce so fast, then, in the future, the output of the entire agriculture will definitely be able to go up a lot higher, you know, the actual situation of the Tang Dynasty now is that there are too many fields allocated to the people, the people can't take care of it, and the yield is generally so low when planting at will. It can help people save a lot of physical strength and farming time. You must know that grabbing seeds at the right time has a lot to do with the output of the field, and if a farmer of later generations is allowed to cultivate it manually in the way of intensive cultivation, he will definitely cry, because he can't plant it at all.
