Volume 1 Useless is a Scholar Chapter 6 Snake and Rat
It turned out that this Wang Zhuzi was the son of the village chief Wang.
Wang Zhuzi stretched out his head to look outside, and when he saw that there was no one, he whispered to Village Chief Wang: "The fat sheep is a fat sheep, and the nerd gave five taels of silver for a meal, and he didn't blink his eyes, it must not be bad for silver, but the old man is not an ordinary person, and we all lay down without seeing how to do it." ”
"Hmph, I was acting in front of people just now, but you can't be beaten in vain, you cook first, I will send someone to send a letter to your second uncle, and ask him to take people down from White Wolf Ridge, your second uncle is superb in martial arts, that is a master of the rivers and lakes, and most of the meridians are connected. ”
"Dad, do you want to, do you want me to order something in the meal... Wang Zhuzi gestured with his hand.
"You're out of stock, that nerd is dead, this young master and young lady of the Li family disappeared here with so many guards, so if this Fengshui County doesn't explode, can we still have a peaceful birthday?"
"Yes, yes, then I'll cook well. Wang Zhuzi was scolded for having no temper.
"You do it first, I'll go outside to say hello, don't worry, you revenge, your old man will definitely avenge you, can you still capsize at the door of the house?" After speaking, he turned around and went outside.
Several guards dispersed and sorted out the prey, Chen Zihao invited Li Wuwu to sit down, and asked curiously: "I don't know why Brother Li is here? I am also half a master, but do I need help?"
The students of Changle Academy have a lot of learning, and they often go out to complete various tasks. Chen Zihao also thought that Li Wuwu had some mission to come, otherwise in such a small village, how could anyone from Changle Mountain come.
Li Wuwu didn't say what happened just now, if he did, he was not familiar with this Chen Zihao at the moment, how to make a decision, and he had already said just now that he would not pursue it again, and now he was moving in front of the owner. So Li Wuwu diverted the topic: "It's really a bit of a problem to say that it just happens to help." ”
"Brother Li, please speak. "Since there is a problem, if it can help, Chen Zihao doesn't mind selling personal favors for the students of Changle Mountain.
"Dare to ask Chen Gongzi, what is the field near this Wangjiazhuang?"
"I know this, there are 800 acres of mountainous land, and 2,000 acres of irrigated land, of which 700 are in the upper fields and 1,030 are in the lower fields. ”
"I don't know what the production is?"
Chen Zihao was stunned, how could he, the eldest young master, care about these little things on weekdays.
He pondered and said: "Brother Li, forgive me, although my Fengshui Chen family is not a wealthy family, it can still be named in Fengshui County and even Changhe County, and there are some land properties in the family, but the main business in the family is not like this, so I am not familiar with these things." ”
After saying that, he remembered something again, so he said: "Although I am not familiar with it, but Village Chief Wang is an old man here, and he must know it." ”
Li Wuwu thought about it at this time, if you ask a question like a young master, how can people pay attention. However, the village chief of Nawang is from here, and he is usually the village chief, so of course he will understand. In fact, there is a reason why Li Wuwu asked this question, the ancients said: "Cangqiao knows etiquette and knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing", it is said that if the harvest is good, the people should live and work in peace and contentment, but it seems that the villagers of Wangjiazhuang are not rich. Most of them are thatched houses, which are lived by the head of this village, and in Li Wuwu's view, they are far from being as good as the mountain people living near Changle Mountain. And they are even more unbearable, several children at the entrance of the village are barefoot, their clothes are ragged, and the king pillar is even more desperate to see the money, there must be a reason for this.
Chen Zihao called an entourage and gave a few orders, and after a while, Village Chief Wang walked in, although Village Chief Wang had a bitter gourd face, he squeezed out a smile on his face, stepped forward to salute earnestly, and asked: "Young Dongjia, what are your orders? I am asking you to prepare a meal, it will be fine in a while." ”
Chen Zihao said: "Li Gongzi wants to know how the local harvest is, you can answer truthfully." ”
Village Chief Wang said with a smile: "That son has found the right person, the old man has lived in Wangjiazhuang for more than 50 years, and I know all the fields near Wangjiazhuang, and they are all in my stomach!"
Li Wuwu asked the question just now. Wang Village Chief seriously recalled for a while: "I don't have much land near Wangjiazhuang, but fortunately, it is close to the Fengshui River, diligent, the yield is still there, this year's crops have not been harvested, it is not easy to calculate, when the harvest is good in previous years, there is always a hundred catties of output per acre, and the family grows a hundred acres of land, and then goes to the mountains to find some wild vegetable roots or something." Saying that, Village Chief Wang said proudly: "The old man has been the village chief for more than 20 years, and few people in the village have starved to death, and many children have grown into people. ”
Li Wuwu frowned when he heard this, is it good to have a yield of 100 catties per mu? Changleshan Academy also has field production, not to mention the experimental place for those students who are interested in agricultural affairs, even ordinary peasant households can produce more than 300 catties per mu. Even so, 100 catties per mu, that 100 mu is also 10,000 catties, in addition to the tenant tax, there are always 8,000 catties of grain in stock, a family of more than a dozen people should still be able to cope with the food, if you save a little, there is surplus. Why is there still a hunger for grass roots and bark when there is no greenery?
Li Wuwu said: "This kind of yield per mu is not high. ”
Village Chief Wang was still proud just now, but when he heard this, he looked embarrassed, and said in his heart, Is this person stupid to read? Such a yield per mu is not enough?
Li Wuwu said to Village Chief Wang: "I don't know if the village can cultivate the land in an orderly manner?"
The village chief is even more blind, and he will farm the land, what else can he do?
Seeing that the village chief didn't understand, Li Wuwu simply explained the cultivation method on some agricultural books compiled by the academy slowly.
"The college has a lot of "Agricultural Books", and many of them are suitable for the cultivated land near our abundant water. The "Mu Method" mentioned in the "New Kiln Agricultural Book" is "said to be mu on the ridge, and said to be mu in the ridge", that is, "ridge method". There is no division of the fields outside the village, and there are no ditches, if you do ditches and ditches, and cultivate carefully, the yield per mu should be able to go up. ”
When Chen Zihao heard this, he asked repeatedly: "Is this true? I don't know how much production can be increased?"
Village Chief Wang also looked at Li Wuwu with anticipation on his face.
In this era when there are not many scholars, there are even fewer scholars who can bend down to study agricultural affairs, and although those old farmers also have a lot of experience, they have only experienced a lot of themselves, and they can't do it if they say so. It is only in places like Changle Mountain Academy that there are people who do research in this area. Now that there is a person who happens to be studying agricultural affairs, how can he let go of such an opportunity? Not only an old farmer like Village Chief Wang, but even the eldest young master of a local gentry like Chen Zihao knows that the world is difficult, and crops are the foundation.
And Li Wuwu went down the mountain this time, but also has the intention to do something, can not bury what he has learned, although "learn literature, martial arts and art and the emperor's family", but this world is not only the emperor's family, but also the world of the world, scholars, cherish the family and country, but also the world, although most of the memory is sealed, but the scholarly spirit implanted in the bones will not be sealed. Since what I have learned is useful to the world, of course, it is my duty, but of course it is useless to talk in this room now.
Li Wuwu smiled at Chen Zihao and said: "It seems that Chen Gongzi is also a person who cares about farming, but how to operate it and how much it can increase production can only be known by personally inspecting the cultivated land." ”
Chen Zihao hurriedly stood up and said, "Then how about Brother Li move to the field?"
Village Chief Wang next to him hurriedly stopped: "Shaodong, the meal will be ready soon, it's not too late to fill your stomach first." ”
Li Wuwu also smiled and said: "Why should Chen Gongzi be in a hurry, even if you are not hungry, Sister Ling and your family are also hungry." ”
Chen Zihao also realized that he was overcaring. In fact, the main reason is that he is too young, although he was born in the family, but there are many uncles above, every time he wants to do something, there are always people who think that their generation is still young, as long as they read literature and practice martial arts, and have a lot of experience, but there is no chance to be alone, how to practice? This time he came out to hunt, saying that he was taking his sister out to play, but it was better to say that he came out to relax, but he didn't expect to meet a Changle Mountain student who knew about farming, if he brought back the method of increasing the income of the field, see who would dare to show him his face in the future. However, he also knows the truth that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, and he is too eager, as if he has other plans. So he laughed dryly, "Brother Li, Brother Li is very talented, but I don't know how much people in the world suffer from lack of food, if we can really increase production, it will be a great merit for the benefit of the world! ”
After a while, Wang Zhuzi brought the meal, because after the meal, the family did not prepare it, just a few farm dishes, Chen Zihao invited Li Wuwu to come along, and Li Wuwu refused because he had eaten. Chen Zihao didn't pick it, he stuffed a few sips indiscriminately, and he didn't touch the wine he brought, his sister Chen Yan looked at it and felt a little bit of a big lady's temper, but she didn't expect that she was not only hungry after dinner, but she was also easy-going by nature, and the food was also sweet.
On the field path, the group stopped to take a look while walking, it was Chen Zihao, who had lunch, who took Li Wuwu and Fu Bo to the field, Li Wuwu did not go to the geography to see, sometimes to look at the soil, sometimes to pinch a handful of rice, or to watch in the field. The second monk of the group was confused, but they knew that the people who came down from Changle Mountain must have some skills, and they were all watching from behind.
Walking and stopping, on the way also met a few people working in the field, some were harvesting crops, Li Wuwu went up to talk, saw the village chief accompanied, a group of people looked extraordinary, of course the villagers knew everything, but unfortunately these villagers are not highly knowledgeable, a little more complicated to ask is speechless.
After going around the field for nearly two hours, those entourages were a little impatient, because they couldn't see the name at all, so Chen Yan didn't feel bored, running around in the field, catching some crabs and loaches from time to time to show off.
Village Chief Wang followed as a guide, and from time to time introduced the situation of the acres of land in the field, and some old yellow calendars could be talked about, but he was also a little absent-minded, one couldn't figure out whether Li Wuwu really had the way to increase the yield of the field, and the other was thinking in his heart, what happened to asking someone to report to the second brother, and now it seems that he is reckless, if this young owner falls in love with this nerd's ability, his abacus will be in vain.
