It didn't take much time to get the head of the Liang team, and the group was stunned when they arrived at the county, and Sun Dan had just finished dealing with the case of the dispute between his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and he happened to be fine, so he sat in the study and read a book. Han Yue didn't dare to disturb Sun Dan, so she went to settle everyone, and only ordered Lan to wait in the study alone.

In fact, the ancient seven-grade sesame officials didn't have so much to do, unlike the busy government affairs of later generations, and they didn't have so much entertainment. Sun Dan read a few pages of the book and sighed in his heart. It's really easy to be an official. As Li Hongzhang said, being an official is the easiest thing in the world, and if you can't even be an official, you can't do it well. Then nothing else can be done.

This is the first time Tinglan has come to Sun Dan's official office, the official office is not big, in general, it is divided into two large areas, the front is the office and the lobby, and the back is the back garden of the county governor's residence.

Sun Dan's study looked a little messy, with manuscripts and files piled up everywhere. There was also a small bed on one side of the west wall, and it was obvious that Sun Dan usually lived in the study.

Tinglan knew that Sun Dan didn't like to be disturbed the most when he was studying. He hadn't said a word since he entered the house, and he didn't dare to touch Sun Dan's manuscript, so he sat quietly on the side, and it was hard to talk about the scene that was born in the Song family today.

In the past, when the old man reads, it was Zhiniang, and Tinglan finally seized such an opportunity, so she naturally refused to let it go.

However, as soon as she sat down, she screamed in her heart, Sun Dan had been reading for an afternoon, and she was sitting straight and her body hurt.

Finally, when it was time to make dinner, Xiao Tinglan stood up quietly, and Sun Dan nodded as if Tinglan had just appeared: "It's here." ”

Tinglan: "Yes, it's early, I'll cook for you." ”

"Well, I'm a little hungry, I'm a little tired today." Sun Dan seemed to remember something funny: "This morning, I finally concluded a case of a dispute between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and I asked for a book in the afternoon."

"The old man is hanging high, the case you tried is naturally convincing, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law must have nothing to say. Where is it so easy, it is difficult for a clean official to cut off family affairs, and I would have known that I would not be looking for this trouble. In the end, he could only persuade them to reconcile and threaten them if they did not. Each person has to hit fifty boards. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were afraid of eating the board, so they could only reconcile. Master Ben was confused and decided that Sun Dan was amused in his heart, and he didn't know if he was a gourd official who judged the gourd case: "Okay, is your brother here, let him come over after dinner, and ask him if you have something." ”

The two said a few words. Tinglan came out of the house. But I saw my brother peeking outside.

Tinglan: "What are you staring at, after dinner, your brother-in-law asked you to talk." ”

Tomson: "Sister, do you and your brother-in-law live in the study, I see how the bed is so crowded?" ”

Ting Lan's expression darkened, and then raised willow eyebrows: "What are you asking these for, I hate it." ”

Tomson was naturally afraid of this sister. After eating her scolding, he stuck out his tongue and stopped talking.

After dinner, Tomson cowered and walked to the bookstore: "Sister" husband and uncle. Tomson came to see Sun Dan, and he was obviously much more enthusiastic about Tom than he was to Tinglan. He stood up with a smile. Pulled a chair: "Sit down, I have something to ask you."

Tomson looked very cramped, and only put half of his butt on the chair: "Please ask the eldest master." ”

Sun Dan stretched comfortably: "I'm really tired of reading for a long time, by the way, I heard Tinglan say that when you were in the south before, you also planted mulberry and silkworms at home."

Listening to Sun Dan's question, Tomson hurriedly replied: "Yes, there used to be silkworms at home. However, Tinglan will not, it is all up to me and my parents. ”

"Okay, then let me ask you, in your opinion, can mulberry trees be planted in this north?"

Tomson: "Yes, actually. The northern winter is very cold though. But mulberry trees have buds in March and can be picked in June. The temperature in Hebei in March is the same as in the south, and it has no effect on the miscellaneous trees."

Although Sun Dan is a son of a peasant family. But he's a northerner. In his time, northern farmers rarely planted mulberry trees to raise silkworms. He was also worried that silkworms could not be raised in the north. Listen to what Tomson said. A stone fell to the ground in my heart.

However, he had another concern: "Tomson." According to what I have seen before, the mulberry trees in Hebei are tall and tall, and now they are planted, and I don't know how many years it will take to grow? ”

Tomson smiled and arched his hand: "Master, you don't know, if it takes a few years to grow mulberry, then what else to plant." Besides, if you wait a few years for the mulberry trees to grow tall, it is also troublesome to pick mulberry leaves, and it is impossible to carry a ladder into the garden. In fact, the mulberry trees in our south are not very tall, and the tallest is only two meters, and if they grow any longer, they will have to prune the branches. Moreover, the peak period of mulberry trees is only ten years, and after ten years, the tree is old and does not grow many leaves, so it needs to be shoveled and replanted. Planting mulberry is not like planting land, you need to sow seeds, and you can just cut branches. Cuttings in January, buds and leaves in March, and miscellaneous leaves can be picked in June to feed silkworms. ”

"I see. I really don't know. Sun Dan sighed: "Everything in the world is learning. Even a saint should not listen to Tinglan say that you used to work in an imitation weaving workshop. It seems that the four clumsy spiders of the loom are the right way to let you come to Fangshan. If you talk about mulberry planting, I ask you, what kind of land is the most suitable for mulberry planting? ”

"Fertile land. Tomson said: "The fatter the ground, the better, let me tell you about this kind of mulberry tree first."

Sun smiled lightly, "Don't be busy, he lit two more candles, and made a cup of hot tea for Tomson and handed it over: "It's all my own family." Don't be restrained, relax and speak slowly. ”

Seeing that Sun Dan was very polite to him, Tom Chen was in high spirits, and said secretly: It seems that my sister is very favored by my brother-in-law.

He was also happy for his sister in his heart, and said: "If you go back to the old man, this kind of mulberry soil layer is deep, loose and fertile, and it is required to be able to irrigate and drain, so it is best to choose paddy fields." This thing is a rich life, and if it is not a good land, it will not grow. But if an acre of good land is planted with mulberry trees, after ten years, you can only plant trees, and you can't do anything else. The fertility has been robbed of mulberry trees, and it needs to be fertilized every year. In addition, mulberry trees can be planted in scattered mountains, slopes, river flats, etc., but the yield is not high. ”

"Well, I also plan to change all the fertile fields in the county to mulberry circles, so naturally I have to use good land Sun Xiaodan: "You can talk about what you need to pay attention to when planting mulberry trees and how to plant them."

Tomson: "First of all, we must plough the land deeply, so that the field is breathable and permeable. The second is to apply enough fertilizer, and each mulberry circle should be applied with 20 to 30 loads of human and animal manure. And bury the fertilizer deep in the mud. Drainage ditches should also be excavated in the garden, and mulberry trees should be planted at a distance of one and a half to two meters between the drainage ditches. Each drain is three to four minutes deep. ”

"Wait, I'll make a note first." Sun Dan hurriedly spread out the pen and paper and carefully recorded it: "Let's talk about the planting of mulberry trees."

"Back to the master, I have already said just now, mulberry seedlings are generally required to be planted in winter and early spring. Of course, I took a look, and the northern ones can be delayed appropriately, and there is no need to wait until the rivers thaw

"Well, I've already sent someone to the south to buy mulberry saplings. It should be shipped in half a month. ”

"The small mulberry seedlings can be put in the house for a period of time first, and then they can be sown in the spring. However, most of the mulberry seedlings sold in the south were planted in advance by merchants in the seedlings, and they all carried roots, which is still a bit exquisite. ”

Sun Dan: "Isn't it good to follow the roots, what's the point?"

Tomson said: "The main root should be cut before planting mulberry seedlings with roots, so as to promote the fibrous root cultivation on the side, and the survival rate of mulberry seedlings is high." Sun Dan's head rose a little when he heard this, touched his nose, and muttered: "I was also born in a peasant family, but I don't want this kind of mulberry to be so particular."

So, if you talk about the planting density, if you plant less, waste land, and if you plant too much, the mulberry tree will not grow well, which is the key

Tomson exclaimed: "Sir, you have asked the point, take our south as an example, we generally plant 5,000 mulberry trees per acre, with a row spacing of six points and a plant spacing of two points. After planting, the land should be covered with a layer of straw to retain water, I took a look. Hebei has a dry climate, so you have to watch out for mulberry trees dying. In addition, there is nothing to pay attention to, just pay attention to water and fertilizer retention. The mulberry tree is a rich tree, and the more fertile the land, the better it will grow

Sun Dan put down the pen and looked at Tomson with a smile: "I have Tomson, I finally let go of this heart." Your sister told you no, I'm going to let you work in the weaving bureau. ”

Tomson: "I already know. ”

Sun Dan: "Okay, after you enter the Weaving Bureau." Let's get a garden out and make a sample. I will send silkworm farmers to listen to your lectures one after another, and you are Mr. Fangshan. ”

Tomson was happy in his heart, and said: "Speaking of planting mulberry and raising silkworms, I am a good hand, you can look at me, master, I will definitely not embarrass you to my sister."

Sun Dan patted him on the shoulder, "Good job." The world is vast, and there is a lot to be done. ”

friend

Tomson was about to say something like "never let down my brother-in-law." said something like that, but he could hear the humanity in the courtyard outside: "Lord Sun can rest in peace?" ”

Sun Danzheng and Tomson can talk to each other. frowned unconsciously, this person's voice was familiar to him, it was Fangshan County Chengmu Shouli, who had been recuperating at home. This guy has always been out of tune with him. Since Sun Dan came to Fangshan to take up his post. He didn't come to work for a day, and he was sick at home for more than half a month. What did he do running over so late at night?

"It turned out to be Lord Mu, is your illness better? , Xiao Sun Dan pushed open the door, but saw Mu Shouli standing in the courtyard with a bald man with a bruised face. The badly injured bald man looked familiar, but he didn't remember who it was?

"It's already complete, Mu Shouli will come to the yamen tomorrow on an errand." Mu Shouli pushed the bald man beside him: "You committed such a big thing, and you still don't kneel down and ask Master Sun for forgiveness."

"The lord spares his life!" The bald man pounced and knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Only then did Sun Dan hear this person's voice. It is Liang Min, the head of the county government team. ,If you want to know what will happen next,Please log in to the sleeve,More chapters,Support the author,Support genuine reading!
