Chapter 217: Experimental Field
Compared with the safety and health knowledge in the hands of doctors, the knowledge of farming in rural areas is more important, and it is also more scarce.
Why?
Because although everyone understands this kind of knowledge, but no one understands it specifically, especially this matter to those who have learned to read and write, even if they know some skills, they will not be able to do this, what they have to do is to be officials, unless it is an official who specializes in managing agriculture and mulberry will understand this, at this time, Sensei said that they will not understand, and they will not take a look.
This farming is a big deal, but will many officials know about it?
Most of them don't know, the grassroots will know, but will they know better than those who farm in the field?
Li Hang found several old farmers nearby, this kind of old farmers are at the level of old men in various villages, most of them have been working in the fields for more than ten or twenty years, not to mention, even these people have a lot of experience in farming, but when they farm, they basically use their own experience, they know that this kind of planting will be more useful, but they can't say why, and everyone has their own opinions, once they gather together, they will become troublesome, Because no one can convince anyone.
For this Ying Yun several times in a row to invite these experienced people home, but also attracted the attention of many people, to know the construction of Beiping County, this is the emperor opened the Golden Mouth, although the first batch of people to come over is not very many, but there are always other forces of the eyes and ears, Beiping County to develop, always have to have other things, but now?
People didn't talk about anything to build at all, but now there are a lot of experienced old farmers and old witch doctors here, which is so interesting, even those who report the news, they don't know what they are doing.
Those workshops are basically only in and out, and these people are even more excessive, for Li Hang, these people are basically subordinates, so they are arranged in such a troublesome way to get all these people and arrange them internally.
And this Ying Yunke doesn't have such kindness.
It's just that the slave guys have all the food and clothing in it, and they have to build a high wall in this place.
As for their house......
Thatched huts!
Li Hang also got a few wooden houses, but the second guy made a thatched house and let them sleep in it.
As for these old farmers, they were basically found at Li Hang's request.
People in this era, except for one to survive, in fact, the biggest obstacle is eating.
It's easy to say anything when you're full, and you have other intentions at this time.
After Yinglu recorded all the words of these old peasants, Li Hang taught him to use analytical methods to list all the conditions of each item.
"His Royal Highness, you are busy in the future!"
Li Hang laughed.
After all, everyone is an old farmer, and everyone says at the same time, such as the spacing of seedlings in the field, this kind of thing is actually very clear, and many old farmers will deliberately do it, but what is the best distance at this time?
No one is conclusive.
You must know that even in later generations, there are many things that are not to be measured by specific quantities, but at this time, when a few old farmers say that the public is reasonable, and the mother is reasonable, it is necessary to test the field to make a horizontal comparison.
And when Li Hang told them about this, they were also a little confused.
"Li Hang, what to do like this, just write it all down." Ying Yun asked curiously.
At this time, as long as you write it all down, it can definitely be used as a model, and as for how to really do it, it depends on the local choice.
"We want to use this form of comparison to find out the best way to plant this thing, and then wheat, millet, rice, can be compiled, and then we can let them experiment one by one, and then collect it and summarize it, and we can also record what kind of crops are suitable for planting in the soil with different fertility, and there are some plants that are useful to us, and we can even encourage them to plant, such as planting some fruit trees in the mountains, so that the collected fruits can make wine. It can also be used to fill the stomach at critical times. ”
Li Hang also knew some of the limitations of this era, and many things had not yet been planted.
Farmers also didn't learn math and didn't know statistics at all, so in many cases they relied on some of their own brains.
So a lot of times there is not a very effective publicity.
Li Hang has now found these old farmers, one of the aspects is for planting skills, and there are some other skills for taking care of plants.
On the other hand, there are many aspects to the treatment of fertilizer and soil, because these things need to be summarized for a long time, and even many people will not think of it.
After all, these are real farmers, and it is normal for them to have some things that they don't notice, so no matter what they say, they all need a detailed book to help them collect and manage these materials, especially since these books have to be made by readers.
You know, even these officials in charge of agriculture don't necessarily know so much.
If Li Hang hadn't lived in that era of information explosion, he wouldn't have so much understanding, after all, in this era, many people don't have a clear concept, but Li Hang has such a concept.
Why?
If you have studied a little bit of junior high school biology, you know it.
After all, sunlight, water, and soil, these are the three elements, this kind of thing must be the same, and you don't need to know too much about the real thing, but for these old farmers who have been engaged in farming for a long time, they only need to explain the classification to them clearly, and they will naturally classify it.
Ying Yun looked curiously at the experimental field plan proposed by Li Hang. "You mean let's use the field to conduct experiments and decide which one will affect, in this way, wouldn't it only take a few years for us to figure it all out!"
"That's right! In a year or two, you can figure out the characteristics of these crops, and when the time comes, you can even promote a variety of types, and then this practice can not only be used on crops, but even cash crops, and your cotton can also be planted, this kind of cash crops, you can play slowly in the future! "When the time comes, as long as this cotton is promoted, there will be fewer deaths in the winter.
When it came to cotton, this Ying Yun couldn't help laughing. "Seriously, I'm really optimistic about this cotton, look at this!"
After saying this, Ying Yun clapped his hands and asked his subordinates to bring a glove.
Li Hang knew at a glance that this was a cotton glove! It's made of cotton!
