Chapter 53: The Cheng Family Is Here Again!
"Xiao Langjun, how do you use these seeds?" The head of the village on the side of the mountain is called Li Da, and Li Hao gave him the pumpkin seeds and pepper seeds in his hand and explained them very carefully. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but Li Da has never seen these, so it is inevitable to ask clearly.
"Uncle Da, these two seeds should be well preserved and placed in a cool and dry place. When they thaw and warm the following spring, they can be evenly buried in shallow soil, then poured with animal manure and covered with thatch. After waiting for three or four days, the thatch can be lifted and allowed to grow. ”
"They don't need to be separated after germination, just remember to water them regularly. When the length is finger high, you can plant them separately, just like any other crop. These can be planted on dry land, with enough water. ”
"These sweet potatoes are sown in different ways, so we must pay attention to prevent rats and moisture. After next spring, they will germinate on their own, and when they do, they will bury them in the soil and then fertilize them. ”
Sweet potatoes are not transplanted, they have a strong vitality. Wait for the sweet potato vines to grow, then cut off the branches. A branch can be divided into many segments, and each segment can survive after being inserted directly into the moist soil without roots.
This is the planting method in Li Hao's hometown, and he is not very familiar with how to grow in other places. Therefore, Li Hao directly used his own planting method to promote it here, and he didn't dare to use it if he was not familiar with it.
So when the sweet potatoes were transplanted, Li Hao would come over to give some guidance in person. Otherwise, the farmers here have never seen this thing, how would they know to grow this thing? You must know that there are also particulars about segmentation, and some branches and leaves must be removed.
"Xiao Langjun, the county commander and the county lord are here!" After Li Hao explained to the people here, he stayed here for another night. The villages on both sides are now living a lot better because of the food support.
The people in the mountain side village knew that Li Hao was coming, and they deliberately went to the surrounding mountains to hunt a lot of game to entertain Li Hao. Although the taste of the cooking is not very good, they are really attentive to Li Hao's arrival.
Chickens, ducks, pigs and cows can't be eaten casually now, not only because Datang has a clear rule that cattle cannot be slaughtered without permission, but also because Li Hao needs more chickens, ducks and pigs to develop the breeding industry here.
Li Hao even asked Uncle Zhong to prepare a sum of money, which will be used to buy all kinds of small poultry and livestock next year, vigorously develop the breeding business here, and also provide enough fertilizer for the planting here.
At this time, a young man from Pingyuan Village came here to report to Li Hao, and the county leader came. For these villagers, the leaders of the county are big men, and they dare not slack off.
"Well, I'll go with you now." Li Hao nodded after hearing this, and then returned to Pingyuan Village with Uncle Zhong, Cui Zhiyi and Liu Renliang had been waiting here for a while, but the two of them did not look impatient.
"I've seen Cui Xianling and Liu Xiancheng, and I've made the two adults wait for a long time." After Li Hao came over, he hurriedly saluted the two, he is now a citizen, these two are officials, so naturally they can't be too casual.
"It's okay, but we're here to disturb Li Xiaolangjun." After listening to Li Hao's words, Cui Zhiyi smiled gently. Now he and Liu Renliang's impression of Li Hao has become more and more unfathomable, and what Li Hao said before seems to be slowly being realized.
Li Hao said that he can cure intestinal carbuncles, and this has been proven. Li Hao said that the water supply on his cultivated land is easy to solve, and now it is really solved.
Datang has a waterwheel, but it requires manpower to go to the river to get water when it is drought, which takes time and effort. However, Li Hao's tube car does not need manpower to run by itself, and can also be used as a mill.
Moreover, two large pools were built on both sides to store water, which can store water in normal times and divert water from this side of the pool in the future when there is a drought.
Li Hao said that the households of his Zhuangzi will not starve because of food soon, and their lives will get better and better. The two of them can see a hint of the recent changes, and it is estimated that the results will be seen by the end of next year.
Li Hao said that his farmer can grow grain with a yield of dozens of stones per mu, so the two are a little curious now, they want to see how Li Hao grows this kind of grain.
If there is really this kind of food, not to mention the two of them, they are high-ranking officials of the Tang Dynasty, including Li Er, they all have to be moved by Li Hao's land. This will make Datang's national strength improve again, and it will also allow Datang to get rid of the problem of famine from now on.
This is true, no matter how well history says the rule of Zhenguan. In the era of relying on the sky for food, there will always be famines for the people because of famine. It's just that the prosperous country has food to help the people, and in the troubled times, it can only fend for itself.
After sitting with the two parents for a while, the three of them chatted about water conservancy and medical skills. Cui County Ling is now hesitating whether to gather all the midwives in the county together as Li Hao said.
Li Hao said that he could improve the ability of these midwives, but this birth is a woman's business. Li Hao, this is a man, a big man presides over the matter of a woman giving birth, this is simply not too ridiculous!
Although the Tang Dynasty is open, it is really impossible for ordinary people to do this kind of thing by stripping their own women naked to a man to help give birth. So it's normal for Cui Zhiyi to hesitate, this is not the afterlife.
"Two adults, there is something that needs the help of the two adults. I want to find some teenagers, orphans are preferred, male or female. I still need a wasteland nearby, I wonder if the two adults can help? ”
Li Hao knew Cui Zhiyi's embarrassment, so he didn't say too much about this kind of thing. I can't do it anywhere else, but there is no problem with what Li Hao wants to do on my side of the villager, and the above can't manage this side, this is what Li Hao only learned after watching Tang Lu recently.
"I don't know what Li Xiaolangjun needs these teenagers to do?" Cui Zhiyi asked curiously after listening to Li Hao's words.
"I'm going to take some students and teach them how to make a living like farming, farming, and business, as well as teach them medical skills. This kind of thing is actually already being done in Chang'an City, but except for the children of their own villagers, they are teenagers who buy it themselves. ”
What you do here by yourself is too little power after all. Therefore, Li Hao plans to train more people to come out, and then invite some gentlemen to come over and ask these people to read and write. It's too expensive to spend money to buy slaves by yourself, and Li Hao's money is not blown by the wind.
"This....... this one for us to consider." Cui Zhiyi and Liu Renliang did not immediately agree to Li Hao's request, at this time, what Li Hao said could not be regarded as the right path, and ordinary people were not very willing to learn this, so the two hesitated.
