Chapter 202: The temple is too small to accommodate the big Buddha
In the middle of summer, the weather is getting hotter.
In the Changbai Mountain, the millet valley of the county camp is also thriving, and the unworthy county soldiers are busy in the field to promote the seedlings and promote growth, cultivating and weeding.
Others are carrying water for watering.
The millet grains are dark green and shiny, and the spit out ears are like dog-tail grass swaying in the wind.
Well, millet is millet, but it was first cultivated from dog's tail grass.
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, two young officials, have been watching the fields for a long time, and they even seriously asked the county soldiers or tun slaves in the tuntian about the methods of planting these corns, such as the seeds sown in a few months, how to plow the field and turn the land before sowing, how many liters of seeds are sown in an acre of land, and how to manage after sowing, how to top dressing and watering the seedlings, and so on.
The two even took a pen from time to time to record the results of their questions.
"Isn't it said that the land in this mountain is barren than the outside of the mountain, why do I see that the millet seedlings in this field are better than the outside, and you see that this ear also bears more long grains, and the harvest will never be bad." Du Ruhui was surprised.
Wang Tiehan came over with two large buckets of dung water, and put down the picks after listening, "That's what our lieutenant taught, we ploughed the ground in the spring, he helped us borrow cattle and horses, and all the land was ploughed very deeply, and then let us bury human and animal dung and urine in the soil." ”
"Even the seeds are all selected, three liters of seeds are sown on one acre of land, and they are soaked in warm water before sowing, and they are specially selected to be planted before and after the valley rain."
"When the millet seedlings have three leaves, Du Wei asked us to replant them in the places where the seedlings are missing, even if some seeds are not born, we are not afraid. When the six leaves are reached, we start to set the seedlings. ”
·······
Fang Du and both of them are from famous families, they have no worries about food and clothing, and they can study in the past, but they are really not very clear about farming, especially what are these seed selection, burying fertilizer, what replanting, seedling, and what is cultivating and weeding three times, especially this cultivating is not only weeding, but also crushing soil.
When it is time to pull the joints, weeding and crushing the soil should be carried out at the same time as watering, and this time the tillage must be deeper, and then the rice seedlings will be cultivated.
When the row is about to be closed, it will be cultivated once, and the soil will be higher.
There are too many of these details.
Fang Du was very surprised to hear this, and felt as if he had opened a door to a new world.
"These are what Captain Luo taught you?" Du Ruhui was puzzled, Luo Cheng was able to fight correctly, but after all, he was only seventeen, could he even plant the ground, and he was still so proficient?
Especially through interviews, he learned about some farming methods that he had not even heard of before.
For example, just a composting method seems to have a lot of exquisiteness, and compared with the ordinary compost of farmers in the past, it seems that the effect has indeed improved a lot.
Not to mention anything else, these military camps here were originally relatively poor mountainous areas, but now the millet seedlings are growing so well.
This spring millet is about to mature and will be harvested soon, and many experienced old farmers have said that the production capacity of Juntun per mu this year has reached two stones.
Three liters in spring and two stones in summer, which is amazing.
You must know that ordinary land often has to sow four or five liters of seeds, but in the end, you can only harvest rocks and millet.
The average yield per mu is two stones, which is not guaranteed by those fields outside Zhangqiu City.
The more interviews he conducted, the more surprised Fang Du became.
"It was our duty to persuade Sangjiao to farm, but now Luo Cheng is doing much better than us, it's really ashamed." Fang Xuanling sighed.
"I'm thinking, this Luocheng county barracks has 20,000 acres of military camps, and the county soldiers in the mountains still have 25,000 acres of land, if this acre can collect two stones, then he will really have a bumper harvest this summer."
To put it simply, 45,000 acres of land is not 90,000 stone millet. These 500 county soldiers, on average, are 180 stones, even if more than half of them are privately owned by the county soldiers, and half are owned by the battalion, and the battalion still has hundreds of slaves, but it is still shocking enough.
"I really don't know, I'm scared when I come, Luo Cheng also mentioned a few mouths to me before, saying that the effect of this year's military tun is good, but I didn't expect that it would be such a good effect, I thought that one mu could collect seven or eight buckets, even if it is good, then our county can be easier this year, no need to pull out extra money and grain to the county camp, who would have expected that he would be silent, but here to make a fortune."
Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and said with some pity, "I didn't know, I knew that this year I would definitely have to pull Luo into this strong man, let him teach him the experience, and then promote it throughout the county, if it can be like his border army, I don't dare to say more, it is absolutely feasible to increase production by three or five percent." ”
Thirty-fifty percent, how much grain must be increased.
As soon as he calculated this account, Fang Xuanling felt quite heartbroken.
"I heard Natunnu say just now that after this summer harvest, Luo Cheng will plant another crop of wheat." Du Ruhui said, this recommended millet collects 90,000 stone millet, and how much does this wheat have to be harvested?
"Can you plant another crop? Don't you need to rotate and fallow farming, it is said that corn costs land, and you can't plant it continuously. ”
Luo Cheng is said to say that fallow is a lack of soil fertility, but it may be improved by deep ploughing and fertilization. It is true that millet cannot be planted continuously, but it can be planted with others, such as wheat and beans. Although the second season is certainly not as good as the yield of the first season, even if half of the harvest is harvested, as long as it does not affect next year's spring ploughing, isn't this equivalent to an increase of fifty percent of the harvest in vain? Du Ruhui sighed.
"This Luo Cheng has such a good method, and he has been hiding it." Fang Xuanling was a little angry.
"But the point is that even if Luo Cheng told us before, we may not believe it, right?" Du Ruhui said helplessly.
"yes, if you don't see it with your own eyes, who can believe it and dare to believe it."
The more abundant the Juntun, the more depressed the two became. Even if Juntun can really collect 90,000 stone millet this year, it has nothing to do with them, because Juntun is all middle-aged men, and they don't have to pay a grain of rent before they become adults. As for the income from the camp, it is also said that it will go to the county camp.
The two of them walked around the fields in the mountains for a day, and returned to the county seat exhausted at dusk.
As a result, as soon as they arrived at the Yamen, the county commander Zhang Yichen told them a new piece of information with a somewhat frustrated look.
"Luo Cheng is leaving."
"Where are you going?"
"Gao Sheng, our temple still can't accommodate his big Buddha after all. The news that just came from the county, we have added three new military offices in Qi County, one in Changbai Mountain, and Luo Cheng's county barracks are based on the new Changbai Eagle Yang Mansion, and the five hundred county soldiers have all been converted into government soldiers, and Luo Cheng has been promoted to Sima of Changbai Eagle Yang Mansion. ”
Luo Cheng is no longer the captain of the county soldiers, he is no longer the person of the Zhangqiu County Ya, and the five hundred county soldiers are no longer county soldiers.
Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling glanced at each other, and they were a little depressed in their hearts, only did they feel that the tens of thousands of acres of mountainous land in the county barracks were a treasure during the day, but now this treasure is assigned to the Wei Mansion?
