Text Chapter 22 Spring Ploughing (Ask for Collection)
The matter of the restaurant is over, the benefits are distributed, and everyone gets what they want. And Jiang is the only victim in this incident, the restaurant business ended dismally, and Zhao's attitude is worse than before.
Of course, it was Liu Feiyun who benefited the most, and they got a huge amount of money, and it will continue to flow in the future. And there is an unexpected gain, that is, the royal Lin family, Emperor Lin Shanhe expressed his love for this wine, and issued an order to provide a hundred altars of immortal drunk every month, giving it as a tribute wine.
Of course Liu Feiyun will not refuse, you must know that the royal family money is still given, even if it is not so much, but this relationship is there, I believe that no one will blatantly start the idea of this wine again.
The scale of construction in the valley is getting bigger and bigger, and since the discovery of this place, faster or slower, the construction has not stopped, even if the houses are vacant a lot, but slowly it will usher in its corresponding owner.
The purchase of slaves has recently begun again, and now that the shop is open, more and more people are needed, and more urgently is the defense force, and the family has a thick foundation, so it must be well protected.
Moreover, the training of security personnel is no longer a single theoretical guidance, and there are occasional on-the-spot exercises. His restaurant is the best place, where all kinds of people come in and out every day, as well as the distribution of wine and the transfer of money, all of which need to be done secretly in private.
"You're back, what's the harvest this time?" Liu Feiyun saw Liu Shuhan who came back again, and asked with a smile.
Liu Shuhan shook his head and said: "Don't dare to buy a large number of slaves too blatantly, it seems that the slave industry has discovered something, and now I am buying some of them with different people, there are very few slaves with a skill, and this time it is mainly young and middle-aged." ”
"Young adults are young adults." Liu Feiyun didn't care, young people accept quickly, and those who don't understand can learn, and now he has carved out such a place in the valley, and those craftsmen from the scientific research department are teachers, and if they are interested, they can go to become apprentices.
Of course, once it is determined, it must be learned to become a teacher, otherwise it will learn a little bit and a piece of it, and it will not be enough to be thrown into the small black house to teach how to be a man.
Just as Liu Feiyun was discussing, Li Yu jumped in: "Brother, brother, the weather is getting warmer, when will we grow food." ”
Li Yu is not very old, but in the previous mountain village, she would work in the fields with her parents at this time every year, which was a brand of food and clothing, and the people in the village would do this, otherwise there would be no food, so she came to remind Liu Feiyun.
Liu Feiyun has been either eating and sleeping or running the scientific research department during this time, and he really forgot about it. The main reason is that his soul is a modern person, and he hasn't done farming for decades, and he almost forgets this behavior selectively in his memory.
Li Yu's words made Liu Shuhan on the side also realize that he was also a person who did not do anything to produce, and he was busy during this time, so it was inevitable that there would be omissions, so he remembered at this time: "Feiyun, this matter must be taken seriously, we must be self-sufficient if we want to grow, and money sometimes can't buy enough food." ”
"I understand, then the training of the soldiers will add a piece of land reclamation, and cultivate enough fertile land on the banks of the valley and the river."
"Well, I'll buy some farming tools next, but Feiyun, there's one thing we need to figure out, we don't have ploughing cattle, and this animal is not easy to handle."
Liu Shuhan explained that private buying and selling of cattle is prohibited here, and it needs to be registered with the government. They obviously can't show up in this situation, so they have to find another way.
"This is a big problem, but we can find those families, they have a huge amount of land, presumably there will be no shortage of cattle, let's find the Han family and the Ji family to get in touch."
Liu Shuhan thought about it and thought it was feasible, but the specifics still needed to be carefully considered, and they couldn't leak the location of the valley because of the matter of plowing cattle.
The two didn't discuss for too long, because there was still a little cutie on the side, Liu Shuhan rubbed her head and left with a smile, while Liu Feiyun beckoned her to him and said, "Don't worry, my brother will be very hardworking, is Xiaoyu lazy." ”
"No, Xiaoyu is very hardworking, and Xiaoyu can also help her brother work." Li Yu shook his head and said that he was very well-behaved.
Liu Feiyun rubbed her head and said, "My brother knows that Xiaoyu is very well-behaved, but now your main task is to study, how many words does Xiaoyu know now?" ”
""Three Character Classic" and "Hundred Family Names", Xiaoyu will write silently, one, two ....." Li Yu counted with his fingers, and he couldn't count the back, and said coquettishly: "Oh, anyway, there are a lot, I remember everything my brother taught." ”
"Well, my Xiaoyu is the best, so you have to keep working hard."
"Yes, Xiaoyu won't disappoint her brother."
After experiencing a moment of warmth, Li Yu went out again accompanied by the maid and went crazy, children are more active, Liu Feiyun adopts a combination of work and rest for her education, but it can't wipe out her nature.
Next, he has to think about spring ploughing, this matter can not be sloppy, although he has a lot of money now, but he must not let the people in the valley develop the idea that they do not need to farm, you know, no matter what era, farming is the foundation of the foundation.
For farming, there are nothing more than three, one of which determines the bottom line of yield, the second is farm tools, good farm tools can open up more farmland in the same time, and the third is fertilizer, which determines the upper limit of yield and greatly improves the yield of crops.
As an expert in genetics, he has solutions for seeds, such as hybrid rice, which can complement the good status quo to improve crop yield and quality. And he believed that this world should be the same as in the previous life, and in some places in the south, there must be two or three crops of rice a year. Even high-yielding things such as potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes exist, or there are crops similar to them.
However, these are not possible now, hybrid rice needs a year or even several years to cultivate, and the south is far away, and when it is found, I don't know when, spring ploughing has long passed.
Then the only way to do this is to start with farm tools and fertilizer, and fertilizer is not what he can think of now, and he doesn't know how to get it. There is only farmhouse fertilizer, and the flush toilet he designed before solves this problem very well, and the urine and feces at home are collected in several septic tanks, which can just be used as fertilizer.
There are also farm tools, and he thinks of the Quyuan plow, a former agricultural artifact. However, Liu Feiyun really didn't know its specific structure. But it is not difficult for him, his predecessors can invent, why can't he. It is nothing more than starting from several aspects such as the structure of breaking the ground and the convenience of adjustment.
Although we are genetics, but after a long time in junior high school and college, mechanics and other aspects are okay, and then there are some skill structures.
The ancients were not stupid, they were just limited by their mindset, as long as they provided them with direction, they believed that they would soon have results.
Thinking of this, Liu Feiyun immediately got up and went to the scientific research department, transmitted his thoughts to Mo Yun and the others, and joined in the discussion with them.
Because Liu Feiyun has never seen a plow and does not know its true deconstruction, he can only improve it on the original basis.
He said, "Ink worker, let's change the tip of the ploughshare to a controllable articulation, so that the depth of the plough can be easily controlled. ”
For Liu Feiyun's plan, everyone discussed one after another, and finally Mo Gong said: "Sir, we just need to make the plowshare flexible, control the depth of the soil, and the plow tip is used to break the soil, no need to change." ”
Liu Feiyun didn't know much about it, since so many people discussed it, it seemed that it should be so.
Then he proposed, "Guys, this plow is going straight and straight, can we add a node to make this plow turn better, so that it can save a lot of time." ”
"You can try."
Liu Feiyun came up with a lot of proposals, either feasible or unrealistic, but on the whole it was of great help, and everyone in the scientific research department recorded the main points, and the next improvements were made as agreed.
Finalize the plough, and the sowing machine, although it is more regular with both hands, but after all, it is inefficient, he proposed: "I also have an idea here, it is slower to sow with both hands, can you make a small cart or a basket, put an hourglass-like utensil on it, people or animals push or carry it, and the seeds will be evenly scattered into the ground?" ”
"If we think about it, there should be no problem." Mo Yun said that this should be simple.
Next, they were busy, but Liu Feiyun was left aside. Don't say that the ancients didn't have any research spirit, and when they meet what they are interested in, there are many people who forget to sleep and eat.
Seeing this, he didn't stay long, anyway, he said everything that should be said, and I believe that they should not let him down. And it doesn't play a big role in staying by himself, he can't control the carpentry and iron.
The efficiency of the group was not ordinary, and the next day a group of men with black eyes came to him with improved wooden plows and demonstrated him on the spot.
Liu Feiyun didn't have much of an opinion on the effect of this plow, because in the previous life, mechanization was not much more efficient than it, and it was very easy. But Liu Shuhan, Dong Fang and others were stunned.
Liu Shuhan muttered in his mouth: "Artifact, what an artifact!" ”
Since there were no oxen in the valley now, they demonstrated that they would directly replace it with manpower, but they still ploughed the land easily and turned freely, and if they were pulled by oxen, the speed could be seen.
"Brother Liu, how do you feel?" Hearing Liu Shuhan's murmur, Liu Feiyun knew that the plow was finished, but he didn't have an actual comparison about how much better it was.
"Well, very good, this is many times better than the previous plow, and it can be pulled by just one adult, I really don't know who has such a wonderful idea." Liu Shuhan looked intently at the plow that was still plowing, and praised it from the bottom of his heart.
Liu Feiyun said that this was very useful, but he didn't break it, but said: "Brother Liu, since you have a plow, you can let people contact the people of the Ji family or the Han family as soon as possible and get the ploughing cattle back." ”
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
As for this group of heroes, Liu Feiyun will not treat them badly, and they will be rewarded for their merits, so as to mobilize their enthusiasm and creativity, one person directly rewards them consistently, and excitedly they immediately said that they would immediately go back to conquer the sowing tools.
What kind of business, now all eyes are black like this, Liu Feiyun hurriedly stopped: "Everyone rest first, this is not in a hurry now, the body is the capital, in case something happens, I still need you to serve." ”
"Don't worry, my lord, we will never give up."
Although Liu Feiyun is now their master, this is the role of the contract, but what he has done, this group of people is now willing to die for him from the bottom of their hearts.
