Chapter 12: New Agriculture

Originally, Yin Qingfeng could have some other arrangements, but this land belonged to Du Fuwei. After some thought, Yin Qingfeng decided to take this land into his own hands so that he could do more.

"Brother Xian, you haven't been here for a long time, and you haven't let your brother and sister come to me. Your sister-in-law is busy with the taste building now, and she doesn't even pay attention to me, but I really don't know what to do. Du Fuwei saw that Yin Qingfeng came to the door, and hurriedly complained.

"I really can't blame me, I'm busy for a while. I came to my brother today to ask for my brother's help. ”

"Oh? Tell me, hurry up and find me something to do, I'm really bored except for taking my son to stay at school every day. ”

"Uh~~ Why don't you ask for two more concubines, then you won't be leisurely."

"Haha, you, you, I'm here. But when it comes to concubines, I don't have any plans for the time being. I've been with your sister-in-law for many years, and I don't want to lose her. ”

"Okay, it's your family business, and the little brother won't say anything. This time I came to ask my brother to transfer your Zhuangzi in the east of the city to my younger brother. ”

"Zhuangzi in the east of the city? I'd like to transfer it to Brother Xian, but that's a fiefdom, unless you want me to lose my head. Duvowe laughed.

Yin Qingfeng opened his mouth, he forgot about this stubble.

"I heard Du Bing talk about the things you went there twice and did. From today onwards, that Zhuangzi will still be mine to the outside world, but those lands and people will be yours in the future. ”

After mixing a bite of dinner at Du Fuwei's place, Yin Qingfeng said to the little girl in the carriage back: "You remember to remind me, we will come over for dinner every three or five days." ”

"I also like to talk to Yunying's sister-in-law."

"By the way, although there are two servant women doing some chores now, why don't you choose a handmaid to serve you."

"Don't, Yuemei likes to be with Lang Jun and serve Lang Jun."

"Bo~~ Lang Jun also likes to be with you."

Although the title deed and the personal deed have not been reached, the sovereignty exercised is also good.

"Steward Du, I think our Zhuangzi is not far from the Bahe River, how far is it?" Yin Qingfeng said bluntly.

"It's only about seven or eight miles."

"Whose Zhuangzi?"

"It's a wasteland, and no one has cultivated it."

"In that case, you will take it directly."

"Is this appropriate?" Du Bing asked a little confused.

"Won't you go to the county and buy it?" Yin Qingfeng was a little happy.

"Yes, yes, the little one is dull." Du Bing suddenly woke up.

If you follow what Du Bing said, most of the land in the triangle north of the entire official road is your own. There are at least 50,000 acres of wasteland on the side of the Bahe River, and with these 40,000 acres, there are even more things to do.

"After you buy it, you send someone to dig a pond and bring in the water from the river. The deeper the pond, the better, and the larger the area, the better. After digging, the fry are raised, no matter what fish are tried first, and finally see which ones are suitable for raising.

Raise some ducks and geese on the water, and chickens on the shore. The meat and eggs of these poultry can be provided to me, the Wu Guogong Mansion and the Taste Building, and they can also be sold to the East Market. Remember, all chickens, ducks and geese are slaughtered with down left. These down can be washed without peculiar smell after removing the hard feathers, and stored after drying, and I will use it in the future.

Dig another canal to enclose the entire Zhuangzi's field, and then dig several more canals in a staggered manner. Maybe there will be a drought one day, and there may be a flood one day, and now water diversion and drainage are necessary; If there are not enough people, we will recruit, in short, we must complete it this year, and the sooner the better; If you do a good job in autumn, I will definitely invite King Qin to come over and have a look, and don't embarrass the mansion when the time comes. Yin Qingfeng saw that the steward's brain was not very flexible, and he carefully advised.

Du Bing hurriedly promised: "The little one must complete Lang Jun's orders." ”

"For money matters, you can apply directly to Mrs. Ren. I don't look at how much silk you use, I only look at the results.

After you buy the wasteland, you first put it in order, plow it with dung, and I will tell you what to plant. ”

Yin Qingfeng was also not sure how many cotton seeds he could harvest back.

After arranging these, Yin Qingfeng instructed again: "Dig seven or eight more ponds downstream of the fish pond, and each pond is paved with bricks and stones. The pools should be connected to each other, and layers of screens should be placed at the connecting places. I'm going to build this paper-making workshop on a very large scale, so this pool can't be small.

The dirty water produced by papermaking has to be precipitated in these pools and then drained back to be used for papermaking again, so there must be enough and large enough pools for the sedimentation time to be long. ”

"In addition, poplar trees are planted around these pools. When the time comes, let the papermakers try to make paper from the trunks of poplar trees, and if possible, plant poplars on a large scale. ”

Yin Qingfeng told him the concept of coated paper again, and asked Du Bing to try to see if he could make it after the papermakers he bought were in place.

To make coated paper, kaolin, that is, Guanyin soil, is not difficult to find. Limestone is also needed, and it is also needed for the production of chalk, and this thing is basically everywhere.

"The main and mass production is Caihou paper and straw paper, you have to be prepared here, don't delay the plan to make money. After the workshop is established, you set a big reward to see if any craftsmen can improve the Cai Hou paper. ”

Yin Qingfeng doesn't understand the process of papermaking, so it's good to leave it to the current craftsmen to do.

But he felt the need to do something about sewage treatment. Yin Qingfeng has a nationally famous newsprint factory in his modern hometown, and the water pollution is very serious.

Yin Qingfeng knew that some sewage treatment agents were needed for sewage treatment, not to mention that he didn't know what drugs, even if he understood them, he couldn't fix them, so Yin Qingfeng had to use the soil method: multiple precipitation. It is much better for the sewage to be sedimented in multiple tanks than to be discharged directly.

Yin Qingfeng doesn't think that it is hypocritical for him to engage in this sewage treatment, but he just hopes that through his every behavior, he can drive some new consciousness of the people of Datang.

When Datang, from the monarchs and ministers to the common people, has a sense of business, environmental protection, intellectual property rights, etc., a complete and perfect social system will slowly take shape.

Yin Qingfeng has been thinking about it all this time, thinking about what he can do in the era of Datang.

What he wants to do is the progress of society as a whole, not that after waving countless golden fingers, the country and the nation are still following the old path.

Yin Qingfeng asked again: "Have you planted any vegetables on Zhuangzi?" ”

"There are some that are planted, and 2,500 acres of land are dedicated to growing vegetables."

"Have you planted the weads and turnips?"

A kind of wild grass called brassica was cultivated by the ancestors into edible wead, which in turn was cultivated into bok choy, rape, yellow cabbage and so on. Chinese cabbage and turnips both belong to the cruciferous family and bloom at the same time, so Chinese cabbage can be cultivated under cross-pollination. If Chinese cabbage is allowed to evolve naturally, it will have to wait until the Song and Yuan dynasties, and Yin Qingfeng wants to speed up this process.

"Plant the herbs and turnips at intervals and wait until next year to plant them separately. This is true every year until a brand new vegetable is cultivated. ”

Without waiting for Du Bing to answer, Yin Qingfeng continued to ask: "You go and arrange for someone to find Gongsun Tree (Ginkgo) now." There are two types of Gongsun trees: fruiting and non-fruiting. The more Gongsun trees transplanted, the better, and it is best to plant them along the canal and on the road from Zhuangzi to Chang'an City, and then Zhuangzi can be renamed Ginkgo Manor.

Don't wonder why you planted the Gongsun tree, it's worth more than you think. Leaves and fruits can cure diseases. Tree trunks are an excellent material for furniture. All you have to do is collect the leaves and fruits in the fall. I'll go back and write a booklet for you, and I'll tell you in detail how to handle the leaves, how to deal with the fruits, and the key points of planting and propagation. ”

Yin Qingfeng kept talking, and Du Bing kept nodding yes.

This ginkgo biloba Yin Qingfeng wants to try to soak in water to drink, which has a good effect on cerebrovascular and heart.

In Yin Qingfeng's conception, starting next year, this will be a farm integrating breeding and cash crops, and to hell with the traditional model of growing grain.

"The natives of the Tang Dynasty, even if you are staring at the land every day, I can give you flowers. And that's not all, I have a new trick up my sleeve. ”

Every time Yin Qingfeng did something, he took the little girl and asked her to watch and listen to it beside her.

Like today, there are some things that the little girl can't figure out. So on the carriage back, Yin Qingfeng talked to the little girl about the necessity of sewage treatment and the significance of the new farm.
