Volume 1 Useless is a Scholar Chapter 7 Seeking Fortune
The group walked to the hill at the end of the field, and Fu Bo waited for Li Wuwu to drink some water. Not to mention, after the seal, my body suddenly became much easier, and I didn't feel tired after turning for so long.
Li Wuwu rested for a moment and said, "Just now I have investigated the soil quality, water level, and production of this land. Some issues were found. The soil quality of the fields here is good, but in recent years, the planting has been diligent, which hurts the soil strength, which is the first, and some places are inconvenient to get water, and the yield is less, so it can only be better than nothing, in fact, you can find a way to transport the water, and there is, I see that the fields after these villagers are harvested, and the crops are sown very disorderly, which will also affect the harvest. ”
Chen Zihao, the village chief and the others all nodded yes, and Chen Zihao opened his mouth and asked, "Then in Brother Li's opinion, how can it be improved?" After turning around together for so long, they just waited for this sentence. In fact, the situation of farming in the world is probably like this, if Li Wuwu has a way to govern this place, then almost the entire field in the world can be improved with this method.
Li Wuwu pointed to the field and said, "If the soil is injured, just store it up and fatten it." As for getting water, it is even easier, you can build a waterwheel and open a canal, and sowing is actually also knowledgeable, not how long you plant, how long you reap. ”
Chen Zihao felt that it made sense when he heard it, but he didn't know the specific operation, and he was about to ask again just now, but he heard someone shouting at the bottom of the mountain, it turned out that someone from Zhaojiatun was coming. Zhaojiatun is not far from Wangjiazhuang, and people come quickly. But instead of staying in the village and waiting, they hurried over.
There were three people down the mountain, the one at the head was Zhao San, and the one behind was an old man in cloth about fifty years old, who also had gray hair, but he was not slow to go up the mountain. There is also a person about forty years old, burly, but dressed as a headcatcher. When he came closer, Zhao San turned around and said to the two, this is Li Gongzi. After speaking, he hung his head and stood aside, and the old man arched his hand to Village Chief Wang, Chen Zihao and others, and then bent down and saluted Li Wuwu, "Son, forgive me, my Zhao Jiatun has produced these scum, it is really a shame for the ancestors, and the old man, as the patriarch, is also disgraced." Now the old man is here, and he will be disposed of by his son. ”
Li Wuwu said that it doesn't have to be like this.
At this time, the head-catcher in the back stepped forward and saluted Chen Zihao with a fist, "Zhao Da has seen Chen Gongzi and you." ”
Chen Zihao replied and asked, "Why does Zhao Zhutou have time to come here?" It turned out that this person was the chief catcher of Fengshui County, who was a good player in the army back then, and later returned to the field to catch heads. Even some heroes of the rivers and lakes also give some face.
Although Chen Zihao and Zhao Zhutou did not have a deep relationship, they still dealt with each other, and they were not strangers to each other. However, because of the different identities of the two, they usually don't have much communication, one is the chief catcher in charge of arrest, and the other is the eldest young master who is not interested for the time being, but they meet here, which is very strange.
Zhao Zhutou looked at Li Wuwu, knowing that this was the main master, stepped forward, lifted Zhao San's collar, and pushed it forward.
"My brother is confused and has done something wrong, and I have led him to make amends. As he spoke, Zhao Zhutou lifted the Pu knife in his hand and slapped Zhao San's calf with the scabbard, and Zhao San couldn't help but kneel down in front of Li Wuwu. Zhao Da hugged his fists and said to Li Wuwu: "Thank you for the generosity of the son and the seniors, Zhao Da specially came to make amends to the two of them." ”
Although Chen Zihao didn't know what was going on, it was not easy to ask at this time, but his sister was curious, but she also knew the occasion.
Li Wuwu said: "Zhao Zhutou is polite, although Brother Ling has bad intentions, fortunately, he didn't make a big mistake, you can take it back and discipline it." ”
Zhao Da let out a sigh of relief. He was really shocked when he heard his younger brother talk about the situation of Fu Bo's move, Grandmaster, that is the head of the general in the army of ten thousand, and the top master who can decide the outcome of a battle, he has seen such a master duel, these soldiers are completely useless, when it is a battle, it is the opponent's master master who broke into his own Chinese army and forcibly killed the commander, so that their whole army was defeated, and later, although the court did not hold him accountable, he was also disheartened, so he returned to his hometown to be a headhunter.
Now that the matter has passed, Zhao San was helped up by Village Chief Wang, and Village Chief Wang smiled at the patriarch of Zhaojiatun and said, "You old man Zhao, it's not your Zhao family children who caused trouble, you don't come to my Wangjiazhuang." ”
The patriarch of the Zhao family did not smile, "The children of my Zhao family are all upright farmers, how dare they come to your old fox's territory." ”
Village Chief Wang was a little embarrassed. Zhao Zhutou asked, "Why is Young Master Chen in this field?"
Chen Zihao replied: "Brother Li is quite knowledgeable about agricultural affairs, so he happened to explore here to see how to increase the yield of the acres of land. It's not that he doesn't want to say it, but the Zhao family is not waiting in the village, and when they find it, they know that they are here to find a way to increase the yield of the field, and it is better to say it generously than to cover it up. In fact, he didn't know that people were afraid of offending the grandmaster.
Hearing this, several members of the Zhao family were shocked, Zhaojiatun is not far from here, the fields are similar, and this method of increasing production can also be used. That Zhao Zhutou thought more, the county magistrate has the grace of knowing him, if the method of increasing the yield of this field really works, and the county magistrate proposes it, then he will definitely be added to the official rank.
Find the patriarch to look up at Li Wuwu: "Dare to ask the son, can you talk to the old man about the method of increasing income in this field?"
Li Wuwu didn't want to hide it, and it wouldn't be better for a few more people to listen. So Li Wuwu said what he had just seen, and then said: "There are several ways to store land, one is the fallow method, which is to let it be barren for a period of time, and the land will naturally come back, and the other is the rotation method, after planting rice, plant a crop of pasture or alfalfa, and plant it alternately to store land power. Of course, there is also the method of deep cultivation and water storage. ”
"Childe!" Li Wuwu was about to continue, but Fu Bo suddenly interrupted, "Childe can tell the crux of the lack of abundant products here, as for the method of sowing and deep cultivation, I heard that Changle Mountain also spent a lot of effort to research, even Tiangongzi also had a lot of suggestions, how can such a good method be taught so easily." ”
"Old fox!" a few people next to him couldn't help but curse in their hearts. This boy is a nerd, but this old servant is a master who does not see rabbits and does not scatter eagles.
Chen Zihao stepped forward to look at Li Wuwu: "Brother Li, your old servant is reasonable, such a good policy is indeed not easy to teach, I don't know how much per mu you can get if you cultivate according to what Brother Li said?"
Li Wuwu estimated in his heart and said, "At least two to three times." ”
Chen Zihao was overjoyed when he heard this. I thought it would be good to increase a few achievements, but I didn't want to improve it like this, so he said categorically: "If Brother Li can teach me this method, my Chen family is willing to take out 10,000 taels of silver." ”
Zhao Da snorted coldly at this time, he didn't want to offend the Chen family, but it was about the future of the benefactor, and he had to fight.
"Li Gongzi, my county order loves the people like a son, and is thirsty for talent, if Li Gongzi can dedicate this good prescription to the imperial court, my county order will definitely make this good prescription benefit the people as soon as possible. "Zhao Da knows that scholars generally love money, and they may use the grandmaster as a servant, so it must not be bad money.
Chen Zihao didn't expect Zhao to insert such a lever horizontally, and he was speechless for a while.
Li Wuwu has his own considerations, this Chen family is a local gentry, if this law is obtained, the local people will at least benefit, and the county order gets this law and is handed over to the imperial court, which may benefit the world, but it is not a temporary achievement.
Li Wuwu asked Chen Zihao, "Chen Gongzi, if I give this method to your Chen family, your Chen family cannot increase the rent within ten years, you may agree?"
Chen Zihao replied, "Of course, my Chen family is a good family, and if you don't increase the rent, I can promise you that within ten years, the original tenant rent will be harvested in a few percent." ”
Li Wuwu nodded with satisfaction and asked Zhao Zhutou: "I handed over the method of deep cultivation to the county order, can the county order guarantee that no taxes will be paid?"
Zhao Da replied: "This county order of my family will definitely make suggestions to the imperial court, and before the specific production increase data comes out, I think the imperial court will not raise taxes." ”
Li Wuwu thought for a while and said, "Okay, after I go back, I will write down the method of deep cultivation, one for each of you, and I hope you don't forget what you promised." ”
Zhao Zhutou and Chen Zihao were overjoyed when they heard this, although they couldn't monopolize it, even if the two families shared it, the credit was enough.
In the afternoon, he basically spent in the farmland, and when he returned to the village, Chen Zihao sent someone to take his sister back first, and he stayed by himself, and he had to get the method to rest assured. And of course Zhao Zhutou will not leave, if he leaves, in case Chen Zihao does something, he will lose a lot.
Zhao Da pulled Zhao San aside, quietly ordered him to go back, and went to the county seat overnight to deliver a letter to the county magistrate.
When the people who should leave are gone, Village Chief Wang arranged for Li Wuwu and the others to eat and stay tonight, and there is no way to pay attention to the poor countryside.
In the evening, Li Wuwu wrote down the method of deep ploughing on this candle, and Fu Bo looked at the calligraphy of the iron painting silver hook and fell into a daze, he didn't know if Gongzi really didn't know it now or fake. After Li Wuwu had written it, Fu Bo couldn't help but ask: "Young master, this Chen Zihao and that Zhao Da are both impure-minded, why does the son still give them this method of deep cultivation?"
Li Wuwu smiled slightly: "What kind of impure thoughts?"
Fu Bo said: "Then Chen Zihao said that he still collected according to the original tenant rent, which was a trick, I asked, it turned out that their Chen family's tenant rent was 30%, and the land property will be doubled in the future, and he will also double this 30%. and that Zhao Da, saying that he wanted to benefit the people, but he didn't mention the merits of his son. ”
Li Wuwu waved his hand, and said indifferently, "I don't know their thoughts, whether it is the Chen family or the county order, as long as this law can be implemented, the people can eventually benefit from it, even if they are exploited, but there is always improvement, as long as they really do something, let them get some benefits?"
Only then did Fu Bo understand, and sighed in his heart: Tiangongzi is Tiangongzi, even if his memory is sealed, he is still wise.
Li Wuwu put away the written paper album and wrote "Tiangong Agricultural Dictionary" on the cover. Then he said softly, "Everyone rushes to do things for the benefit of the people, this is right."
