"Zhe Xiaolangjun, the land is not like this."

"Yes, yes, Zhewazi, although you can exchange it for food, it's not such nonsense."

"With such a seed, I'm afraid there will be no harvest this year."

"There is no such way to farm the land in the whole world"

……

The villagers are gossiping, you say everything I say about Lu Zhe, with pity and incomprehension in their eyes, and they hate iron but not steel.

"Uncles, please listen to Zhe's words......" In the opinions of the adults, Lu Zhe's defense became pale and weak, and soon drowned in the duties and persuasions of the villagers again, and in the end, Lu Zhe had to be defeated.

"Zhe's heart has been decided, since your uncles and aunts do not approve of Zhezhi's approach. Nazhe should come by himself. Lu Zhe couldn't bear it anymore, and made a reunion gesture towards the people who were talking.

"You, a young man, don't know the hearts of good people."

"In autumn, if there is no harvest, Yun Niang will suffer at that time."

Seeing that Lu Zhe was still stubborn, the reaction of the villagers became more intense, and Lin Jiang and other close aunts also twisted Lu Zhe hatefully.

The scene suddenly became more intense, Lu Zhe was surrounded by everyone, everyone was spitting, or serious persuasion, or hating iron and steel, and the air was full of noise.

Lu Zhe knew that it was obviously useless to bother to explain one by one at this time, all he needed was to convince the one with higher prestige in the crowd.

So, he went to Elder Ming's stone house.

Sure enough, when he explained his intention, Elder Ming just said meaningfully: "I know, you can go." He didn't say anything more, and continued to play chess with Elder Deng on his own.

Sure enough, no matter what era the big leaders are, they are all the same. While walking home, Lu Zhe couldn't help but think of the big leader of his group in his previous life, and his speech was also in this style, which made people ambiguous.

Although the appearance of the leaders is the same in ancient and modern times, since Lu Zhe went to Elder Ming, the people in the village have never organized and persuaded him to do what he wants to do.

Although the villagers looked at Lu Zhe with a look of "pity".

The reason for the incident is this: while the ploughing group is plowing the field, the village rice planting team has to plant the seedlings. In the past few days, it was Lu Zhe's turn to plant rice in the ground, and about what to plant and how to plant, Lu Zhe once again proposed a method that was difficult for the villagers to accept, so the above scene happened.

With the help of enough oxen, the men of the village all went into battle, and soon finished plowing the land and entered the process of planting rice early.

For children like Lu Zhe who grew up in the city, hearing the villagers say that the Quyuan plow is easy to use and efficient, they feel that this year's spring ploughing is stable. Who knows, rice planting is the main event.

Even in later generations, rice planting is a heavy physical labor, and it takes time, even in the plains, with the assistance of machinery, it still requires a lot of labor, let alone in Datang.

Therefore, the rice planting group and the cultivated land group were happily merged after plowing the entire village land at a much faster rate than in previous years.

When everyone began to insert Lu Zhe's land, Lu Zhe's request made them feel a little unacceptable.

In this era, because of the production tools, the soil turned over was very shallow, and the Tang Dynasty where fertilization had not yet been popularized, the Tang people were still very extensive about farming, and they planted seeds in the ground, and they rarely weeded, caught insects and fertilized them. The harvest is heavenly.

Although Lu Zhe has never farmed, he has never eaten pork, and he has still seen pigs run. Deep ploughing, high ridges and dense planting, these two sentences are still understood in later generations.

Therefore, when he suggested to the cultivated land group to plough all the land, although the villagers were a little unimpressed, but because of the magic of his previous and the fact that the curved plough can control the depth of the cultivated land, they still ploughed deeply.

However, when it came to planting rice in Lu Zhe's house, Lu Zhe encountered a major obstacle. Lu Zhe not only made changes to the crops he planted, but also reformed the planting methods.

Zuohua Mountain is located in the area bordering Henan and Anhui in later generations, but it still belongs to Henan, and the Central Plains has been a grain-producing area since ancient times, so Lu Zhe remembered the staple food that Henan villagers loved to eat in later generations, and wanted to change millet rice to wheat.

In their opinion, the land in the village is not a field, and they can only grow crops such as millet that are easier to feed, so how can they grow wheat and other crops. There was certainly no harvest.

Although it is true that the food such as glutinous dumplings, bilo, and hu cakes are more delicious than millet rice, how much wheat is wasted. Many people secretly thought in their hearts.

In this era, because there was no stone mill, the husking of wheat was made by the flail of the threshing of the grain in later generations, and the flour was made by artificial stones, and it was extremely laborious to get the flour. And the flour made also contains bran. If you want to get the refined white flour that can be seen everywhere in supermarkets in later generations, you need to sift it, and then scoop it, and repeat this link several times to get refined white flour.

For the average farmer at this time, wheat rice is the correct way to open the wheat. It is to steam the husked wheat grains directly and eat them as rice. Imagine for yourself how it tastes, so before the advent of stone mills, wheat rice was always the food of the poor, because it was easy to eat bad stomachs, and its status was even inferior to that of millet rice.

The villagers were opposed to Lu Zhe's desire to plant wheat, and Lu Zhe himself had little confidence in his plan, after all, he had never planted land, so he once again said that his secret salt making skills could exchange it for enough food for him, and he just wanted to try it. It can be regarded as reluctantly letting Lin Jiang and the others no longer count him.

In terms of what crops to plant, the villagers reluctantly reached a consensus with Lu Zhe, and more or less, they all looked at him with a look at the loser.

And Lu Zhe's insistence on planting methods made it completely difficult for the villagers to agree.

Lu Zhe also went to the countryside many times in his later life, saw wheat fields, and probably knew what wheat fields looked like. Moreover, deep cultivation and dense planting of high ridges are the basic elements for future generations to obtain high yields, which Lu Zhe is beyond doubt. So Lu Zhe described the appearance of the wheat field in his memory to the rice planting group, and the villagers fried the pot one after another.

How can there be such a farmer? After listening to Lu Zhe's request, everyone was surprised, it turned out that because of the soil strength of the Tang Dynasty, the spacing between the Tang people's rice planting was very large, in order to ensure that each crop had enough nutrients, and Lu Zhe's request was so densely inserted, isn't it a waste of land and seeds, the villagers all said that even if Lu Zhe's own land, he couldn't watch Lu Zhe do so nonsense.

In fact, the people of the Han and Tang dynasties planted relatively sparsely, and it was indeed the reason for the fertility, but a big reason for the general harvest in ancient times was that the farmers did not do anything else except watering, and a lot of grass often grew in the sparse fields and did not pull out, so Tao Yuanming had the saying "planting beans in the south of the mountain, and the grass was full of beans and seedlings".

Of course, it is not because the ancients were lazy, Chinese farmers have always been the most industrious group of people, but because of the lack of knowledge in this area, only experienced old farmers slowly groped out some experience, but because of the lack of culture and limited by the underdevelopment of ancient information, it is difficult to spread systematically. Moreover, it was difficult for ancient technical officials to be taken seriously, which led to the slow development of agricultural technology.

Second, there is a lack of corresponding tools, and the labor intensity of ancient farmers is very high, far more difficult than that of today's farmers. "Morningside is desolate, and the moon and lotus hoe return" can only be regarded as a small meaning, farming, is a matter of the whole family, is the work of the four seasons of the year.

Third, in addition to coping with their livelihoods, the peasants in ancient times also had to deal with heavy forced labor, so they had no time to do this.

Therefore, in ancient times, those so-called cultivators and heirlooms were generally big landowners, such as Mr. Wuliu, who did not bend his waist for five buckets of rice, was actually a big landowner, and his family was an official for three generations, and there were three fields in the family alone, and the grange had a wide range of other industries, and because he was a scholar, he did not have to pay taxes and forced labor. That's why he can resign angrily, if he is really poor, like ordinary peasants, he eats the last meal and has no next meal, do you see if he will be a licking dog for five buckets of rice. His so-called "poverty" was just a comparison with the big families at that time. Similar to the kind of little boss in later generations, he lamented that he was just a beggar compared to Father Ma.

This is the same as in later generations, shouting to return to the mountains and forests, and charter a mountain to engage in ecological agriculture, most of them are rich people, in later generations, rich people contract a mountain to be farmers, but it is fun, and ordinary farmers, it is still very bitter.

Although Lao Tzu has never farmed, he still knows a little bit about how to farm scientifically, and Lu Zhe's Geng Jin has also come up, although he has no experience in planting, but the only thing he can be sure of is that the way of deep cultivation is right, not so little arable land in the future, or to feed so many people, and it is also in the case that a lot of cultivated land has been converted into factories and vegetable greenhouses. Besides, Wuzhuang Guan is located in the mountains, and the arable land is originally small, although there is no need to pay taxes, but it is also half a year of wild vegetables and half a year of grain. It's the right way to do it yourself.

With this idea, Lu Zhe fought with the villagers, and even the red pine nut in the dream was moved out, but the villagers were still very suspicious, and in the end, with the intervention of Elder Ming, they reluctantly reached a consensus.

"Wait, it's going to surprise you in the fall." Lu Zhe gently hammered the hammer that had become sore, and muttered to himself hatefully.

Because the villagers didn't approve of Lu Zhe's method, Lu Zhe had no choice but to tell the villagers that it would be good to come by himself. So, after making breakfast every day, Lu Zhe hurried to his field and planted seedlings according to his own ideas.

"Being a prophet is still painful." At night, Lu Zhe, who was so tired that he couldn't straighten his waist, collapsed on the bed, so tired that he didn't want to eat, while helplessly looking at the starry sky outside the window.

The night sky outside the window is very pure, and the starry sky is extremely beautiful.

It's like the starry sky that Copernicus saw back then.
